Chapter 89: Are All of Them So Complacent?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qing Ming City.
In the testing area.
“You’re Lu Ming, right?”
A young man from Chong Yang branch’s team cast his gaze at Lu Ming. “Hello, I am Li Haoran.”
“Hello.”
Lu Ming nodded slightly.
“You’re not bad. Very courageous,” Li Haoran praised.
Lu Ming clearly knew that Li Haoran’s father would be taking part in the two-star match. Yet, he dared to participate in it. He was quite courageous. Coupled with those few famous cards he created, he was a good seedling!
“Are you interested in joining the Chong Yang branch to develop?” Li Haoran said faintly.
Shush!
The entire testing area turned silent.
The people from the Qing Ming branch were filled with rage.
He was too much!
Poaching in front of them?!
“If you are interested, contact me after the match,” Li Haoran said calmly.
How others viewed him?
He did not care at all.
To be honest...
He did not even care about the president of the Chong Yang branch. From the moment that he created the surmounting card, he had already surpassed these people!
He thought that Lu Ming was quite capable and thus extended him an invitation. That was all.
Their stares?
Who cared!
Lu Ming was speechless.
Were geniuses nowadays so complacent?
“Let’s begin,”
Zhang Yang’s face was ghastly pale.
He was poaching in front of him. The people from the Chong Yang branch were really too arrogant.
It was a very simple match.
As this was an inter-branch exchange match, the preparations were not complicated. After the two presidents created the design plan, they immediately drew a one-star card and placed it in the competition ground.
“I’ll start first.”
A middle-aged man over forty years old from the Chong Yang branch went on stage.
The faces of the people from the Qing Ming branch darkened.
This age...
In order to win the match, Chong Yang branch did not even want their face anymore!
In normal circumstances, no matter how lousy the Card Creator was, with the gradual passing of time and cultivation, they would attain three-star at forty to fifty years old?
After all, there was no bottleneck between one-star and three-star!
One just had to keep accumulating!
But this person...
He was still at one-star at such an age!
In normal circumstances, it was difficult to find this kind of Card Creator!
At this very moment...
The middle-aged man went on stage and carefully began to draw the lines according to the card. After making a perfect copy of it and going through the testing.
Dee—
Copy Index, Ninety marks!
“Ninety marks?”
Everyone was shocked.
This score...
It was too high!
One had to know, even if it was a one-star card with one-star lines, it was personally drawn and created by someone at the president level. Their capability was not something to be disparaged!
So as to speak...
At one-star, this guy’s standard was already close to that of the president?
This kind of standard...
“It’s you, Guo Wenxin.”
Zhang Yang suddenly recalled.
This was an oddball!
He was a one-star Card Creator.
However, he felt that he had not fully explored what one-star entailed and did not want to become a two-star Card Creator. Hence, he had been studying the one-star domain intensively!
He self-destructed his energy to remain at the one-star level!
After decades of research, he successfully modified many one-star Base Cards! He had even received a commendation badge from the Card Creators Association headquarters for that!
Rumors had it that he had already created a one-star advanced card!
This man was an exception!
“It’s me.”
Guo Wenxin smiled faintly.
However, there was a trace of pride in that smile.
He was well aware that he had ordinary talents and would be mediocre at higher levels. As such, he might as well specialize in the one-star domain and become a known one-star Card Creator.
Things had been going on smoothly for him all these years.
“There is some trouble.”
Zhang Yang and the group wore ugly expressions.
This guy...
“If you’re still at the one-star level, I may have the chance to compete with you.”
Guo Wenxin looked at Lu Ming before sighing and saying, “It’s a pity.”
Lu Ming smiled. “It’s alright.”
“Come, Xiaobai, go and give it a try,” Lu Ming said.
“Okay.”
Xiaobai then went on stage.
The people from Chong Yang was a little dumbfounded.
A child?
Had the Qing Ming Association given up?
However, just as such thoughts emerged in their minds, they saw the young lady starting to draw the lines after taking a glance at the card. The Card Creating Pen was penning furiously.
After thirty seconds, the penning stopped.
“It’s done.”
Xiaobai returned to Lu Ming’s side.
Everyone was a little appalled.
Even before Zhang Yang and the group could regain their senses, she had already completed the task?
A few Card Creators who were supposed to test the cards went forward. After taking a glance, they gingerly conducted the testing. Looking at the card with odd expressions, they announced the score.
The score is one hundred and twenty!
“How is that possible?!
Guo Wenxin could not help but jump in shock.
To hell with it. What kind of score was this?!
Wasn’t one hundred the perfect score?!
“Hehe,” he sneered.
They were on a live broadcast now. Did they need to make it so obvious that they were cheating...
Thereafter, he glanced at Xiaobai’s card and was instantly stunned. Zhang Yang and the group also peered at it. Their faces were also full of astonishment. This...
The lines drawn by the young lady were actually better than that drawn by the two presidents!
Yes.
How did the score of hundred and twenty come about?
Naturally, it was because the drawing was better than the original version!
These lines...
were simply the perfect template!
Lu Ming smiled but said nothing.
One-star modification?
Advanced card?
What a joke!
Xiaobai was someone who could create the “Meltdown Card” after minutes of learning! Even Lu Ming was not a match for her foundation and talent now!
Much less Guo Wenxin.
“How long have you been learning this?”
Guo Wenxin was in disbelief.
Xiaobai was very young. She was so young that it made one worry.
“One month?”
Xiaobai counted with her fingers.
Guo Wenxin almost vomited blood and died.
O-one month? So as to speak, he had trained at the base level for decades but was worse than a little girl who had trained for one month?!
This...
“Your name is Xiaobai, right?”
Li Haoran glanced at the young lady with interest. He seemed to have seen his former self in her.
Hehe.
Stunned?
These ignorant guys.
To geniuses like them, this was the norm!
So what if it was the branch president?
They might be older but not wiser!
This was a president of a fifth or sixth tier city at the border. What was so strange about surpassing him in the basics? When he was a one-star Card Creator in the past, he also had such standards!
Well...
This child was not bad.
“Are you interested in joining the Chong Yang branch to develop yourself?”
Li Haoran looked at Xiaobai. “If you are interested, contact me after the match.”
Shush!
There was silence in the conference room.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Were all geniuses nowadays so complacent?
Even the host of the live broadcast, who was shouting ‘Buddy, amazing!’ earlier could not help but stare at Li Haoran. This guy was too forthright!
Your side lost the first match!
Lost!
The mouth of the president of the Chong Yang branch twitched.
Li Haoran was good at everything but he was too simple and naive!
Things such as interpersonal relations and compromising, in the eyes of someone like him who had been sweeping up all the championships in Chong Yang City, did not exist!
He had never experienced that before!
In addition, no one dared to spout nonsense in front of him.
He should have let this child attend The First Academy!
He was a little regretful. He did not know what Li Aiguo was thinking of to let Li Haoran remain in Chong Yang City and attend a local college.
In the end...
His character turned out like that.
“Second match.”
He quickly diverted the topic.
This match was between Lu Ming and Li Aiguo.
“You’re not bad.”
Li Aiguo said calmly, “If you reach the peak of the two-star level, I may not be your match. However, now, your standards and abilities are still a little weak.”
He knew Lu Ming’s trump card – Lamination.
However...
Lamination also required energy depletion!
Given Lu Ming’s current standing as a novice two-star Card Creator, how many layers could he stack? At most, he could create small games such as “Leviathan”. What was the point of that?
This he was well aware of and so was his son.
“Hehe.”
Lu Ming smiled humbly.
“Let’s begin.”
Zhang Yang gave the instructions and the two began to create cards almost simultaneously.
The two-star match was about power and did not have a lot of restriction on the card creation time. However, given the standard of two-star Card Creators, they typically would not waste too much time.
After just twenty minutes.
Li Aiguo had completed creating one card.
Ding—
The machine tested.
Card Rating: Three-star
Energy Flow: Three-star Beginner
“Three-star!”
Many people could no longer sit still.
Li Aiguo was just a two-star Card Creator but he actually created a three-star card?!
One had to know. There was a huge gap in energy level between a three-star and a two-star Card Creator. If he wanted to research that domain, he had to use a lot of energy!
But he actually created it!
“Not bad. This is Li Aiguo, indeed!”
The president of Chong Yang was very satisfied.
Although Li Aiguo was a two-star Card Creator, he was more powerful than ordinary three-star Card Creators! After all, he had been studying at the two-star level all his life.
“Three-star...”
Zhang Yang was very worried.
Li Aiguo had already reached this level?
Creating cards of a higher level!
How did he get so many resources?
Oh.
Li Haoran...
Wait a minute.
Hence, this guy actually used his son’s resources for himself?!
Was he mad?
Zhang Yang dared not believe it.
Many people surrendered their last resources in the hope of making their own children stronger and more powerful. Who would make use of his child’s resources for his own cultivation?
Was he not afraid of delaying Li Haoran’s progress?
However, at the thought that he joined the exchange match at the age of fifty, one could understand!
He was extremely thick-skinned.
What could he do when he encountered such a person?
Would Lu Ming really be fine?
“Very powerful.”
“He’s Li Haoran’s father, indeed.”
“Yes, it seems that the so-called talents are inherited. If he had not been injured in the past, he might have been a Card Creating Master by now!”
“So true!”
“It is such a pity.”
Everyone was whispering to each other.
Li Aiguo was receiving so much limelight on the stage. Even he himself was starting to believe that he would be a Card Creating Master now if not for his injuries!
At this very moment, Lu Ming had also completed creating his card.
Not many people were paying attention to this.
After all, Li Haoran’s father was around and there was no doubt about the outcome of this match. Nevertheless, the program director was very professional. He focused the camera at Lu Ming who was testing the card.
Ding—
The machine tested.
Card Rating: Three-star
Energy Flow: Three-star Top-notch!
Everyone’s eyes widened.
“Three-star top-notch?!”
There were gasps of astonishment.
Lu Ming also created a three-star card and it was a top-notch one?!
Shush!
Shush!
Rays of scans swept across the card in Lu Ming’s hands, clearly detecting the energy contained in this card. Obviously, it had surpassed the average standard of a three-star card!
This...
This was actually a real three-star top-notch card!
This...
How could that be possible?
Li Aiguo was in disbelief.
How could he possibly create a three-star card?
He had remained at the peak of two-star for an extremely long time... numerous numbers of years. Additionally, he had his son’s massive resources backing him. He was thus able to attain his current level!
He learned how to create one three-star card!
But Lu Ming?
He had just entered the second-star level!
But he actually created a three-star top-notch card?
This talent...
Everyone was stunned.
Humph!
Xiaobai straightened her back. These folks had not seen the world. Her master was terrific. This was the card of the sleeping burial mound! One of it could fight ten people!
