Chapter 246: Wu Geng Is Dead. Burn Joss Paper If Needed.
Zi Yang Combat College.
People held their breath and looked at the entrance to the college.
Bang!
Bang!
The huge fiery dragon circled the girl, emitting a terrifying power.
It was to the extent that…
Some people had gotten their defenses ready as they were worried they would be affected.
However…
To everyone’s surprise…
The fiery dragon…
It did not explode!
It was true.
Its massive body enveloped the little girl and wrapped around her…
Suddenly…
A strange power surged.
The endless fire began to dissipate. The fiery dragon seemed to rush into a whirlpool, and the fiery flames were sucked away at an incredible speed…
Buzz—
Buzz—
The fiery world suddenly disappeared without a trace.
All the fire had condensed into a single point.
Across…
An Original Card kept on flashing.
On the front…
Was a ferocious fiery dragon.
On the back…
Dense lines emerged. The lines did not seem like ordinary energy. Burning red lights shone on every single line.
…
“Eh?”
“What happened?”
“Where’s the dragon?”
The onlookers were in a daze.
However…
At this moment…
Many people stared at the Original Card that was suspended in the void. They had a big shock.
Sealing!
It turned out to be the effect of sealing!
They widened their eyes in disbelief.
They knew of the sealing ability of the Original Card. But there were many limitations to it. Any mistake and it would become an attacking effect!
Therefore…
Even when they hired a Card Creator to create cards…
Even when they released the ability toward the Original Card, they had to be very cautious.
Firstly, there had to be a perfect fit.
The angle of the attack had to be consistent with the sealing angle of the Original Card! It had to be on the same horizontal line, in the same direction, and on the same coordinates. It had to fit perfectly!
If one was careless…
The Card Creator might die anytime.
Secondly, the speed had to be consistent!
The Original Card needed to maintain the same speed as the energy it was receiving!
If one was careless…
It would result in a failure!
Thirdly, the timing!
…
And many more conditions.
It was too difficult to seal abilities with the Original Card.
Under normal circumstances, where the Original Card was fixed in place, on the same horizontal plane, one had to do numerous calculations and with the help of a variety of auxiliary instruments, calculate the speed and position of the attack in order to seal it!
Even so, it might result in a failure!
Therefore…
To seal it directly?
No way!
Initially, people had this idea in mind. But as time passed, they gave up…
However…
Right now…
The young lady sealed the ability during combat and it was a success!!!
That was a three-dimensional space!
No one cooperated with her!
What did this mean?
This went to say that upon seeing the fiery dragon, the young lady was able to analyze the speed, explosion point, and point of attack of the fiery dragon…
As well as other information.
Thereafter she responded with the Original Card and performed a perfect seal!
This…
How was this possible?!
Everyone was stunned.
In fact…
They were not the only ones. Li Haoran was dumbstruck as well.
Sealing!
Sealing during combat!
This was once the dream of every Card Creator! Back then he had tried and failed. Although he was a Sword Card Master, he still did not succeed.
But now…
Senior sister had performed a sealing!
She had sealed a four-star elemental dragon in front of everyone!
She was domineering!
What kind of talent was this?
“Senior sister is amazing!” Li Haoran shouted loudly inside his mind.
In the past he respected her due to her seniority, but now…
He was really convinced!
True enough…
She was indeed his senior sister!
Also…
He stole a look at his master.
Well…
His master looked calm and collected.
True enough…
It was no wonder the master was so calm. He already knew everything!
When he and Xiaoyan were still at the dyeing stage, senior sister and master had already advanced to a stage that they could only dream of reaching!
At the thought of this…
Li Haoran clenched his fists.
They could rest assured.
Master.
I will work hard…
Also…
I will learn how to seal an ability during combat.
At this moment, Xiaoyan who was next to him was just as excited, shaking from the shock. Lu Ming was the only person who looked unaffected. His disciples were full of admiration for him.
…
But…
They had no idea that Lu Ming was just as dumbstruck.
Crap!
Xiaobai had succeeded!?
In his mind…
Xiaobai had never practiced this ability before!
Lu Ming was very interested in sealing during combat. He had tried a couple of times and he would occasionally succeed, but most of the time, he failed!
Therefore…
Lu Ming could only give up.
As for Xiaobai?
Lu Ming remembered that she had never practiced it before.
Seriously…
Because whenever he practiced, Xiaobai would steal secret glances at his profile…
She had only been idling around.
Therefore…
The reason why he allowed Xiaobai to participate in the match was to inspire her to be more diligent and to be even more hardworking than him!
However…
Well…
Lu Ming looked at the clear sky, remembering the fiery dragon that had disappeared…
Crap!
How did the sealing turn out to be a success?!
What the hell was that?!
Although it sounded simple, the human brain was not a computer. One was unable to make so many calculations all at one time!
It was easy for one to calculate 1+1 during combat. However, if one had to calculate xtanx+xsinx-xcosx and deduce the coordinates of xyz…
No one could do it!
Lu Ming had tried it back then.
There was no problem if he was given the time to do his calculations slowly. But during combat…
Well…
However…
Xiaobai had succeeded!
What did this mean?
Good innate talent?
Intelligence?
Lu Ming thought for a long time and he finally concluded that it was because he had taught her well!
…
At this moment…
The people from Zi Yang College were just as stunned.
They knew that the young lady was a prodigious talent, but they never thought that she could seal the ability directly! This was the legendary…
“Seal!”
Wu Geng finally came to his senses after a long while.
“It turns out that… This is your hidden trump card.”
Wu Geng lowered his voice. “However… everything will end now. So what if you can seal an ability? I will show you what I am capable of…”
Bang!
He wanted to strike again.
However…
At this time, Xiaobai raised her hand slightly.
Buzz—
Lights were shining.
There was a terrifying red light on the Original Card. A lot of scary energy condensed. There was a fiery red card in Xiaobai’s hands.
“This is…”
Wu Geng’s expression changed.
Damn!
Materialization of the Original Card!
Why would a three-star beginner be able to materialize the Original Card?!
Shush!
He retreated without hesitation.
However…
It was too late.
Swoosh!
Xiaobai hurled the card.
Bang!
The card dissipated in the air, turning into a huge fiery dragon! The fiery dragon that had just been swallowed reappeared. It charged toward Wu Geng, engulfing him in no time…
Bang!
Wu Geng flew to a side. He was black all over.
Shush!
The world turned silent.
Materialization of the Original Card!
It was the materialization of the Original Card!
When a three-star reached their peak, this was a must-do step before breakthrough! Yet the young lady was able to complete it at the three-star beginner stage!
“Senior sister is amazing!”
Li Haoran and Xiaoyan instantly became her fans.
This was the real power of a Sword Card Master!
They knew that they were not as talented as their master who had started a new vocation. At times they could not understand the essence of their master’s teachings. But it did not matter!
They still had their senior sister!
They could learn the profound meaning of a Sword Card Master from their senior sister!
Well…
They could better understand the essence of their master’s teachings through senior sister’s real life example.
But…
They had no idea that Lu Ming was just as dumbstruck.
He had been trying to seal abilities the whole time, but he had never been successful.
He knew that once he succeeded in sealing, his combat effectiveness would increase exponentially. But he had never imagined that after the materialization of the Original Card, the effect would be…
It would be so amazing!
This was giving someone a dose of his own medicine!
One could easily think of this idea, but Xiaobai…
This child…
Whoosh—
Lu Ming let out a long breath.
He was certain that not only was Xiaobai smart and had amazing talents, she had a more in-depth understanding of combat than ordinary people. Such talents…
She was clearly another Lu Yan!!!
However…
Jiang Feng wanted her to be a Card Creator!
What the hell was he thinking?
Was it all because of danger?
It was ridiculous!
There was danger everywhere in this world. Old Jiang was being hunted down for so many years, he should know it better than him. What could be the reason?!
…
At this very moment…
After a moment of silence, people suddenly realized something.
“Does it mean that Zi Yang College has been defeated?”
“Crap!”
Everyone was shocked.
It was true.
Zi Yang Combat College was defeated by Xiaobai!!!
From start to finish!
All the students from freshmen to year four students could not defeat her!
Only heaven knew!
She was merely a twelve-year-old child!
This…
Was the young lady too powerful or was Zi Yang College too weak?
It might be both.
Shush!
Everyone in Zi Yang Combat College looked sullen.
They knew that once word of this spread, they would not be able to lift their heads high ever again! This was especially true for the teachers in the college!
“How did this turn out like that?”
One teacher was in disbelief.
“Had I known, I would have stopped that fellow…”
One teacher mumbled.
They were aware that Old Xu had beat up Li Haoran. However, they knew that Li Haoran did not come from an illustrious background and it was fine to beat him…
Who would have thought that Li Haoran had a master!
And a senior sister!
If they had known this, they would not have provoked him!
And…
Wu Geng…
He was a four-star intermediate yet he was a good-for-nothing!
Right then…
Everyone looked disheartened.
As for Wu Geng…
He used to be the most powerful student of Zi Yang Combat College, but right now he laid on the ground like a dead dog.
No one paid attention to him.
He got up from his serious injury, looked at the odd expression of the students as well as the disappointed looks of the teachers. Everything felt very distant to him!
No!
I must not lose!
I have to win, I have to win!
Wu Geng could only see red in his eyes. He could see no one else except for the young lady!
Whoosh!
Blood rushed to his head.
He thought of that thing from last time…
Well…
This whole time, he did not dare to use this ability.
Come on!
He yelled.
Bang!
A surge of energy in his body suddenly burst forth.
His energy level that was at a four-star intermediate kept increasing and broke through to four-star advanced and four-star peak…
It was close to a five-star!
All his energy burned, waiting to be released in one single moment!
“Wu Geng, what are you doing?!”
The teachers roared.
“I-Want-To-Win!”
Wu Geng enunciated every word.
Bang!
His energy level had been increased.
Bang!
Right then, he charged toward Xiaobai like a cannonball.
…
The burning flames acted as his momentum!
Right then, Wu Geng reached a four-star peak in terms of his speed and abilities. He only had one single thought in his mind and it was to defeat Xiaobai. He could not lose…
He could not be a disgrace!
However…
The teachers had sobered up.
There would be serious trouble if anything happened to the young lady here!
But…
It was too late by the time they tried to stop him!
…
Bang!
Wu Geng turned into a stream of light in order to kill Xiaobai.
No one was able to block it!
“Senior sister!”
Li Haoran and the rest tried to intercept.
However…
No one was able to block it!
It was fast!
It was too fast!
The shining red light sped toward Xiaobai. She had yet to react and the red light was already in front of her…
However…
At this moment.
A card in Xiaobai’s card bag shone with brilliance.
Swoosh!
Cold lights flashed.
The red light came to an abrupt halt.
All the energy and all the attacks crashed into the card. The card flickered like a shield, blocking all the attacks directed by Wu Geng!
Afterward…
Pfft!
Cold lights flashed.
The card flashed and returned to its original place.
Wu Geng widened his eyes in shock. He pressed his hand against his neck in disbelief.
Over there…
A bloody line flashed.
Pfft!
Blood splattered.
Wu Geng dropped to his knees weakly.
Dead.
In the void.
The card still shone with odd brilliance.
The cold aura swept its gaze around the surroundings. After ascertaining that there was no danger, it floated back into Xiaobai’s card bag, as if it had never appeared before…
Shush!
There was pin-drop silence surrounding the place.
Gulp!
Everyone swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
A while ago…
What had just happened?
It was too fast!
Many people had no idea what had happened!
Wu Geng’s energy increased all of a sudden and he launched a quick attack on Xiaobai. However, he was killed instantly by a card in Xiaobai’s card bag…
This was killing with seconds!
Afterward…
He was dead.
People took a look carefully. Wu Geng’s eyes were opened, he looked toward the front in disbelief. He died an uneasy death.
…
“He deserved it!”
“That’s right. The attack that he used was too much!”
“What is that card? It is too terrifying. Xiaobai actually carried such a trump card with her?!”
“I don’t know.”
“I heard that people who come from important backgrounds have this type of trump card… This is the first time that I see it.”
“Brilliant!”
“However, the card is strange. Why is there a pig in the middle…”
“Yes, but it is very powerful.”
Everyone discussed softly.
Everyone in Zi Yang Combat College looked sullen.
Someone was dead…
And he was the strongest student in the college!
However…
He had attacked his opponent and died from the counterattack of their hidden trump card. They had no right to kick up a fuss! Moreover, the young lady still had not come to her senses!
But…
Even if they would not pursue the matter, Lu Ming might not agree to let them go.
“Shouldn’t the college give me an explanation?” Lu Ming said calmly.
Seriously…
He was not angry at all.
Although Xiaobai almost had an accident, he was a very generous person. He would not be angry because of this incident. He just pulled out some cards silently, N number of Demolition cards, N number of Burial Mound Cards, N number of… He would not be angry. He then took out some Energy Cards and Moonlight Cards…
In front of him…
The teachers of Zi Yang College stiffened.
Although they did not know these cards, they had seen for themselves how Lu Ming always threw a heap of cards at his opponents during the competition. These cards…
In particular the four-star cards. They had a bad feeling about them!
This person…
They could not afford to provoke him!
However…
At this moment.
A middle-aged man walked out from the college.
“What just happened…
I am afraid you have to give me an explanation!”
The middle-aged man said in a cold voice.
Shush!
He took big strides toward them.
A few teachers looked serious. “Principal.”
“Hmm.”
The middle-aged man nodded.
“Hello.
I am the vice-principal of this school.
What do you want us to give you an explanation for?
Someone from the college died. Why do we need to give you an explanation?”
The middle-aged man sneered. “Besides, it was reasonable for Wu Geng to burn his energy! Even if he died after burning up all his energy, that was his own business. It was still within the rules of this exchange! What right do you have to demand that the school give you an explanation?”
The vice-principal looked imposing.
As the vice-principal of Zi Yang Combat College, and as a five-star cultivator, he was very powerful and he was unaffected by Lu Ming’s coercion.
“Besides, I am more interested to know… what that card is.”
The vice-principal looked menacing. “Is the card that the young lady had your Original Card?”
That card…
That pink pig…
He sensed a trace of Lu Ming’s aura. It might be very faint, but the terrifying power and the amazing speed… What else could it be apart from the Sword Card Master’s Original Card?
He cheated!
What more did he want?!
“You have been thinking too much.”
Lu Ming smiled faintly. “That was Xiaobai’s own card.”
“Hehe.
What about yours?”
The vice-principal sneered.
“Oh, here it is.”
Lu Ming took out his Original Card.
Buzz—
A faint light flickered.
An Original Card that was filled with lightning cracks appeared. It was unlike the dyed cheap stuff. One look and one could tell they were the original lines!
It was full of texture.
The vice-principal looked embarrassed.
H-he had made a mistake?
