Divine Card Creator (WN)

Chapter 129: Most Annoyed by Those Who Hit on Girls at Inopportune Times!

The fifth mountain.

An extremely uncanny sight appeared.

At the starting point of the assessment area, a group of men and women were soaking in thunder and lightning bath. There were flashes of lightning, with some people shouting ‘cool’, ‘feels good’…

At the center of the assessment area, the Swordsmen were advancing with determination. Sword gleams were flashing. Occasionally, when they stood on the spot after being struck by lightning, they hurried to absorb that energy and then anxiously dashed forward again!

Their target was to be the champion!

Occasionally.

They would sweep their gazes across the starting point and across Lu Ming…

Well…

That kid did not make any move!

He was still tempering his body with the other assistants!

Great!

…

However…

They were unaware.

Lu Ming had long entered his Sea of Consciousness.

At this moment…

In the Sea of Consciousness.

A man and a cat were silently glancing at each other.

The black cat’s expression was cold and aloof, as it stared at Lu Ming before its eyes.

“Brother cat.”

Lu Ming greeted it guiltily.

The black cat stared at him but did not utter a word.

Cough, cough.

Lu Ming coughed once again. “I don’t know what happened either. This Elder Lunar Shadow’s assessments are weird… I lost count of how many times I tempered the Original Card.”

“Well…

Brother Cat, you are also aware.

I’m a Card Creator and tempering the Original Card is not very useful to me,”

Lu Ming expressed that he was innocent.

The black cat continued to stare at Lu Ming.

“It’s true.”

Lu Ming was helpless.

To hell… Who knew why Brother Cat’s tooth would break…

Swoosh!

Suddenly, the Original Card appeared in the black cat’s hands.

However…

This time, it did not bite it. Instead, it patted it gently with its little paw. The lightning energy that had just penetrated his body was absorbed by the black cat!

That was right!

The black cat actually absorbed all the lightning!

Vaguely.

He seemed to have seen that broken tooth of the black cat recovering a little.

Lu Ming was appalled. Brother Cat had such an method?

Suddenly…

Lu Ming glanced at the Original Card. At this very moment, he suddenly remembered that a bolt of lightning first appeared on the Original Card after the black cat gnawed on it!!!

Black cat…

It really had the powers of lightning!

Furthermore, the black cat absorbed this energy in front of him…

“Brother Cat, do you want the lightning energy?”

Lu Ming’s eyes lit up.

The black cat then nodded slightly.

His small eyes exuding a sense of familiarity: Not bad. You’re not considered too dumb. I’ll deal with you on the matter of the broken tooth later on. Now, help me to replenish my energy first.

Alright!

Lu Ming understood now.

Hence, Brother Cat wanted him to get some energy from the lightning?

“Do I absorb it directly or through the Original Card?”

Lu Ming asked.

The black cat glanced at the Original Card.

Lu Ming frowned.

Therefore…

He had to use the Original Card in order to better absorb the powers from the lightning?

That was true too. If he were to absorb it directly, part of the energy would become wasted. Nevertheless, if he were to absorb it through the Original Card…

Lu Ming was a little worried.

Was there really no problem in using the Original Card?

He would give it a try!

Lu Ming took a deep breath.

Shush!

He took another step forward.

Bang!

Lightning struck!

The Original Card in Lu Ming’s hands was suddenly floating in the air.

Bang!

A bolt of lightning struck the Original Card.

He did not seal it because the lightning contained horrifying powers that could not be sealed. Hence, the lightning was purely just striking the Lightning Original Card!

Afterward…

That mysterious aura disappeared without any warning!

It was a success!

Lu Ming’s heart stirred slightly.

He knew that this surge of power had been absorbed by Brother Cat.

Buzz—

The Original Card was suspended in the air.

Lu Ming took a closer look at the card suspended in front of him. This was originally an ordinary Original Card that could only seal abilities. There seemed to be a faint trace of electric shine on it now.

This looks…

There should not be a problem?

After pondering, Lu Ming felt that there should not be any problem.

After all, it was the Original Card. Being struck by lightning was akin to dropping by its home…

Bang!

Another bolt of lightning struck.

The Original Card in Lu Ming’s hands was flying in the air and absorbing the energy with ease.

This worked!

Lu Ming calmed down.

Since Brother Cat could absorb the power from the lightning, he was no longer worried. If Brother Cat could regain its ability, he would benefit greatly too!

For example—

The World of Darkness and Shadows!

Brother Cat would need energy to bring him to that world.

Oo…

He would take it as the entrance fees then.

Suddenly, Lu Ming felt energized.

Bang!

Bang!

Lightning struck fervently.

Lu Ming completely ignored them and headed towards the destination.

…

“Huh?”

Shocked, Niu Xinghai and the group, who were at the starting point, looked on curiously as Lu Ming moved further and further ahead of them.

Lu Ming did not dodge the lightning at all.

Or it could be said that…

He did not need to!

The Original Card was suspended above his head. Lightning was striking towards his head from all angles but it would disappear as soon as it touched the Original Card!

Seemingly…

Lu Ming had managed to withstand them!

“Are the Original Cards of Card Creators that tough?”

Niu Xinghai was astonished.

That five-star Card Creator had a dumbstruck expression.

Crap!

Could the Original Card be used in this way?

Was it due to the unique nature of the Original Card? It could not be destroyed. That was why it could withstand the lightning?

If that was the case…

Oo…

He tried to summon the Original Card to block the lightning.

Bang!

A bolt of lightning hit him hard.

The Card Creator spewed blood on the spot and was almost electrocuted to death directly.

Yes.

The Original Card was not damaged.

However, that surge of energy had penetrated his body through the Original Card and he was almost electrocuted to death. Furthermore, the Original Card was affected and became a little unstable!

“You’re too weak.”

Niu Xinghai cast a sideways glance at him.

This five-star Card Creator definitely had a poor foundation.

I…

The Card Creator looked aggrieved.

What did this have anything to do with him?!

Lu Ming, that guy… Can you analyze it from the perspective of ordinary Card Creators? That man is a demon! He is in the same league as his elder sister, Lu Yan! If you want to compare people according to their standards, then all the Card Creators and Swordsmen can go and seek death.

At this very moment…

Zhao Yunshan, who had been charging ahead fervently, could acutely sense that something was amiss. He turned around and his face darkened instantly.

Why was that lad doing it again?!

Eh?

At the sight of Zhao Yunshan’s reaction, Gao Tianlang’s heart also skipped a beat.

When he turned around…

True enough.

Unknowingly, Lu Ming, who should be at the starting point, was actually catching up with them! The most strange and mysterious thing was that lightning had been striking towards his head all this while!

The suspended Original Card was fighting them directly!

Were you kidding me?!

Everyone was dumbstruck.

They could advance so quickly because they had used Sword Aura to fight the lightning!!!

But Lu Ming?!

He used the Original Card to fight them!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

They personally witnessed a thick bolt of lightning striking the Original Card above Lu Ming’s head but nothing happened to him. He even continued to take a step forward.

They were stunned.

What kind of secret technology was that?

“Perhaps the impact of the lightning has weakened?”

Wu Hongfei had a puzzled expression. He tried taking a step forward and he did not block the lightning.

Bang!

A thick bolt of lightning struck and he almost suffered bowel incontinence.

Crap!

Clearly, this lightning had become stronger!

“Perhaps it’s due to the core itself.”

A thought flashed across Gao Tianlang’s mind. “All of us have been using the Sword Aura to fight the lightning, but Lu Ming doesn’t know how to cast the Sword Aura. Hence, he used the Original Card directly!”

“What you’re saying is that…”

Wu Hongfei was tempted.

Right!

Perhaps they could use the Sword Embryo to fight!

No one specified that they had to use Sword Aura. They could simply try to use the Sword Embryo! Since Lu Ming’s Original Card could withstand the lightning, why couldn’t their Sword Embryo do the same?!

The Sword Embryo was the real weapon!

Swoosh!

Wu Hongfei tried to cast his Sword Embryo.

Bang!

Lightning struck.

He spewed blood instantly.

Sword Embryo…

was almost ruptured!

Damn it. The Sword Embryo did not work, alright?!

“It did not seem to work…”

Gao Tianlang was disappointed.

“Elder brother, don’t do people in like that!”

Wu Hongfei was speechless.

“Since when did I become your elder brother?”

Gao Tianlang felt ridiculous.

“A while ago.”

Wu Hongfei’s expression was calm. “Powerful ones are respected.”

Was that the case?

Gao Tianlang peered at Wu Hongfei once but did not say a word.

Hehe…

Wu Hongfei also smiled.

Perhaps he would get used to it in the future…

However…

Lu Ming, this guy…

“I’ve heard of a kind of concentrate taken from ancient wood struck by lightning. If one can soak in it, they will become immune to lightning,” Zhao Yunshan suddenly said.

“That won’t possibly land in his hands. That place…”

Gao Tianlang shook his head.

“Lu Yan’s master has been to that place before.”

Zhao Yunshan sighed.

Everyone was silent.

Did Lu Yan specially requested for the concentrate for her younger brother?

At the thought of this, they glanced over. Lu Yan herself was fighting the lightning with Sword Aura whereas Lu Ming was using the Original Card to resist the lightning!!!

To hell with it!

Did he really soak in that kind of concentrate?

No.

Most probably, Lu Yan’s master would not help him.

Most probably, the pure and naive Lu Yan had given what originally belonged to her to her younger brother…

A-argh!

She would help her brother at all costs!

“Is it too late for me to call her sister?”

Wu Hongfei sighed deeply.

Hehe…

Gao Tianlang sneered. You called me brother earlier.

However…

Although his mouth was moving, the Sword Aura in his hands did not cease for a single moment!

Yes.

So what if Lu Ming were to catch up with them?!

Ultimately, he was clear about one point — His real enemies were the two guys beside him!

Although they chatted with him on the surface and pretended to be friendly, each of them was quietly competing with him. If he were to really believe them, they would surpass him at any point in time!

Zhao Yunshan was like this.

Wu Hongfei was no exception too!

True enough.

These two guys acted as if they had been dealt with a huge blow due to Lu Ming. As they lamented about this in despair, they actually quickened their steps…

Where was their shame?!

Shush!

Lu Ming overtook them but no one was bothered.

Although the trio continued to complain, no one would really waste their time to bother about this guy who was clearly not fighting for the legacy and yet keep fooling around!

Lu Ming could clinch the first place. They would fight for the second!

However…

Never did they expect…

Lu Ming, who was about to arrive at the destination, paused for a moment. Afterward, he actually returned to the starting point.

Was he sick in the mind?

The few of them glanced at each other, and simply chose to ignore Lu Ming altogether.

At this very moment…

Shush!

Lu Ming started to move forward again but the lightning did not appear.

Oh.

So, there were no more lightning because he had already walked through the area?

Well…

Lu Ming paused for a moment. He suddenly glanced at Gao Xiaoqing, who was beside him. At this moment, this girl was gingerly moving forward and making use of lightning energy to temper herself.

Sigh.

Lu Ming suddenly felt a little ashamed.

This girl…

He seemed to have ravished… Ah! Shit! Trampled her twice?

Oh.

He would take it as a form of compensation to her.

“Come.”

Lu Ming walked over and took the initiative to stretch out his hand. “I’ll bring you.”

Eh?

Gao Xiaoqing looked confused.

Lu Ming…

Bring her?!

I-impossible. She…

“I owe you this,” Lu Ming lounged closer and said in a low voice, “Furthermore, don’t you want to become stronger?”

I…

Gao Xiaoqing gritted her teeth.

Earlier on, Lu Ming seemed to have already reached the destination? If she were to follow him for one round… Seemingly, she could also receive more tempering by the lightning!

She could also become stronger then!

In that case…

She would not become a burden to her elder brother!

“I… I will still defeat you,” Gao Xiaoqing said seriously.

“Okay.”

Lu Ming could not help but laugh.

He held onto Gao Xiaoqing’s hand and then stepped into the assessment area.

Bang!

Lightning struck.

That bolt of lightning that hit Gao Xiaoqing suddenly was transferred to Lu Ming and then to his Original Card, before disappearing without a trace!

“Well…”

Gao Xiaoqing’s little jaws dropped slightly.

The tempering effect that she had painstaking worked for earlier was actually achieved in a matter of moments now!

Lu Ming…

“Let’s go.”

Lu Ming smiled.

Bang!

Bang!

The sky was full of lightning as the latter approached them.

Lu Ming led Gao Xiaoqing in a stroll across the land of flames at a leisurely pace.

…

At the sight of that, Niu Xinghai and the group were envious.

“I’m so envious.”

The five-star Card Creator was a little jealous. When would he have the chance to casually hold the hands of such a beautiful girl?

“That’s right.”

Niu Xinghai had the same thoughts too. “How great would it be if I were the one that Lu Ming was holding onto now.”

The five-star Card Creator had a disgusted expression.

Wait a minute. What did this old and shameless thing just say?!

Niu Xinghai stared at Gao Xiaoqing with envy.

It was true…

He was not stupid. Naturally, he could tell that Lu Ming had come back to look for more lightning! If he could walk with Lu Ming, his physique would improve tremendously!

How could he not feel envious?

It was a pity…

Since Lu Ming knew Gao Xiaoqing, naturally, he would not look for him.

Sigh…

He was right!

This was Lu Ming’s true motive!

Earlier on, Lu Ming had completed the journey but discovered that the black cat had not recovered fully!

Hence, he had no choice but to go through the assessment. Unfortunately, he could not get any more lightning. Hence, he could only borrow some from Miss Xiaoqing.

Buzz—

Buzz—

The lightning in his body was flickering.

Although conducting electricity in this way would have a lower absorption rate, he had to make do with it.

At this moment…

Zhao Yunshan and the group, who were fighting for the second spot suddenly, paused in their tracks.

This was because they were utterly speechless to discover Lu Ming holding the hands of Gao Xiaoqing. The duo walked all the way from the starting point till the spot in front of them!

Zhao Yunshan was almost suffering from an emotional breakdown.

It was true.

What did this mean?!

Forget that you have completed the path?!

Damn. Why did you return to the starting point and bring a girl over?! I am most annoyed by such guys that hit on girls during the most inopportune times!

Were you looking down on me?!

What was wrong with a Card Creator?

Was a Card Creator that great?!

Could a Card Creator bully a Swordsman?!
