Chapter 153: Who Did He Offend?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Qing Ming City.

Card Creators Association.

Lu Ming was testing the structural stability of the Original Card.

Although the president was very skeptical, Lu Ming had no intention of destroying anything. He did not intend to test the Demolition Card or the Burial Mound Card.

It was true.

Apart from not understanding the principle of the card during the first time he was here, he had never used the cards in the city, notwithstanding here.

He was very clear about what he should and should not do.

Oo...

Let’s test the card first.

Shush!

Lu Ming placed the Original Card into the machine.

The stability test was a simple test. It was similar to Li Haoran’s suggestion. However, it was done in a more moderate and acceptable manner.

Buzz—

Faint lights surrounded the Original Card.

At this moment, Lu Ming noticed that there were fine particles around the Original Card and there was a slight collision with the Original Card...

Crash!

The particles dissipated.

The stability rating of the Original Card had been slightly increased.

The stability testing of this program was more comprehensive and detailed.

Lu Ming waited patiently.

...

Once, twice, thrice...

Lu Ming looked at the evaluation rating of the stability of the Original Card. It was slowly increasing. Card Creator one-star beginner, Card Creator one-star intermediate... Card Creator three-star intermediate...

Card Creator four-star beginner...

Card Creator four-star peak...

Card Creator five-star beginner...

...

“Huh?”

Lu Ming paused for a moment.

He did not know that his Original Card had such a high stability.

He knew that due to the Swordsman, the stability of his Original Card would be slightly affected. However, the figure did not seem quite right.

Perhaps the machine was not functioning properly?

Lu Ming scratched his head.

...

At this very moment...

No one knew that the machine was madly calculating and lines of lines of data flashed in the machine.

“Warning! The data is abnormal!” Suspected to have another vocation core. Request to terminate! Termination request sent successfully... Vocation core identification... Identification is completed, the vocation core is the Original Card... Continue with stability testing...

Warning!

The data was abnormal!

Suspected to have another vocation core. Request to terminate!

Termination request sent successfully... Vocation core identification... Identification is completed. The vocation core is the Original Card... Continue with stability testing...”

...

The data kept repeating.

“Warning!

The data is abnormal!

Warning!

The energy is abnormal!

Warning!

The operation was abnormal!”

There were a series of garbage characters.

...

At this very moment...

Lu Ming was between laughter and tears at the sight of this data.

Card Creator seven-star peak...

Card Creator eight-star beginner...

...

To hell with it!

It seemed that it malfunctioned.

Lu Ming wanted to turn off the machine, but right then, a bright blue light flashed on the machine and everything turned black.

Eh?

Lu Ming felt puzzled. What was the situation?

At this very moment...

With the flash of the blue lights, the entire Card Creators Association was thrown into darkness.

Everyone was dumbstruck.

What was going on?

Theoretically, since the energy could replace electricity and switched to one another easily, there had been a long time since they experienced power outages!

Therefore when it happened...

“Enemy attack!”

A piercing alarm sounded suddenly.

“Be careful!”

“Prepare to fight!”

All security mechanisms were initiated.

...

Qing Ming City.

Elementalists Association branch.

The president of the association was in a meeting when the wristband flashed, the crisis assistance alarm had sounded. This address... the Card Creators Association is in trouble?!

“How dare someone launch an attack in the city? They are courting death!”

“Let’s go!”

A large group of Elementalists was dispatched.

The Card Creators Association was not far from their association. All of them went over to take a look.

Although there was competition between vocation associations, they were all in the same boat. According to the ‘Association Mutual Aid management Regulations’, they had to render assistance when needed!

Furthermore...

They also wanted to find out who was so daring to attack the association?

At the same time.

The Summoners Association, the Sharpshooters Association...

Almost all the nearby associations came rushing to their aid at the same time, hurrying to the Card Creators Association.

Enemy attack...

Attack an association?

It had been a long time since something of this scale happened.

...

Qing Ming City.

A certain organization.

Some people were discussing something in a solemn mood.

“This school won’t do...”

“I think so too.”

“What do you suggest?”

“It won’t do.”

“It won’t do.”

“Well, it seems like everyone agrees. In this case, the task that our special investigation team came specially to handle has been completed. I announce that the school...”

Bang!

Many auras emerged suddenly.

Everyone stood up to look toward the city.

“Something has happened again!”

“There were many four-star cultivators’ auras!”

“Qing Ming City... this is a year of disaster for them!”

“What do we do?”

Everyone looked at each other.

As a special investigation team, they had come here secretly. By right, they should keep it a secret and not be discovered by anyone!

They should not be involved in anything like this, but...

This was after all a serious matter!

Many four-star cultivators were there!

They could even sense a few familiar people... the president of the Elementalists Association, the president of the Summoners Association... It seemed that something serious had happened!

“Let’s go!”

“We have to take a look no matter what!”

“To hell with the rules...”

“If there is a large-scale attack, we must strike! What we’re investigating might be important. It is ultimately at the educational level...”

Everyone looked solemn.

This might be a terrorist attack. They had to strike to save more lives.

Let’s go!

The investigation team hurried there.

...

At this very moment...

The police had arrived at the scene.

They would usually take more time to arrive. However, there were too many similar events in Qing Ming City this year. Many ordinary police officers had been trained to become an emergency response team.

“Be more careful.”

“They must be very strong to attack the association.”

“Elder Zhang, if I don’t make it back, remember to take care of my daughter...”

“Don’t worry. I will take care of your sister-in-law as well!”

“Damn you!”

...

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Many auras shot into the sky.

Four-star!

They were all four-star!

Until this moment, people finally realized that there were many four-star cultivators at Qing Ming City! Everyone released their individual auras!

This was to intimidate the enemy!

They were powerful enough to frighten the wits out of the enemies!

All the principals!

All the presidents!

And all the higher management of Qing Ming City!

As well as some unfamiliar auras...

...

“There are so many four-star cultivators in Qing Ming City?”

Everyone was appalled.

These guys...

Were they Qing Ming City locals?

Or perhaps...

They were from other places?

“Write it down!”

Zhang Wei’s heart jumped a beat.

As the police, he should be aware of all these happenings in the city. The auras would usually be hidden deep in the city, this was a good opportunity for him to make a record of them!

...

Bang!

Bang!

Many auras shot into the sky.

Right now...

The entire Qing Ming City was surrounded by four-star auras.

And there was a clear direction to which the auras were heading to. They were madly surging to the Card Creators Association! They wanted to know what exactly had happened!

At this moment...

The Card Creators Association.

It was in total darkness...

The energy barrier that should have been present in the association was not activated!

“Has the energy barrier been broken?”

“This is possible!”

“The power of the enemy is beyond imagination...”

Everyone was in a panic.

Although Qing Ming City was a peripheral city, the energy barrier of the Card Creators Association was the base camp of the Card Creators, it never lacked energy!

But now...

“Be more careful.”

Everyone was on their guard.

Three-star, four-star cultivators and other people carefully closed in.

The nearby cultivators came rushing over as well. They entered the Card Creators Association slowly. The entire Qing Ming City was watchful of what was happening here.

...

In the association.

After the alarm sounded, the Card Creators went into hiding.

They had been through emergency training. The Card Creators did not belong to a fighting vocation. Therefore, the first thing they did was to rush to the emergency room in the basement.

Everyone was waiting.

They were clear of one thing.

The underground space was very sturdy. It would be able to last till reinforcements arrived!

...

“Most of them are in the basement.”

“Don’t go there for now. They are safe there. Let’s look for the source of the threat...”

“On the seventh floor.”

“I can’t sense the aura. The other party might be an Assassin.”

“Understood,” everyone whispered.

The group moved to the seventh level slowly.

...

At this very moment...

Lu Ming who was at the seventh level was dumbstruck.

It was true.

He was merely testing the stability!

God knew why the machine would shake madly for a while before it came to a stop... and after there was a power outage, and many terrifying auras appeared...

What happened?

The stability test should be a very smooth process.

Well...

Even if something was wrong, it should just come to a stop!

What machine was that?

It was obvious there was a bug. In that case, the machine would stop whenever there was another vocation core inside it?

Obviously...

Lu Ming had no idea that the machine had executed countless times of core testing and verification commands...

It was a pity...

What Lu Ming used was the Original Card!

Had anyone seen an Original Card that was as formidable as a Sword Embryo?

No!

Therefore...

The machine did not recognize something that should not exist. It simply tested the Original Card according to its stability. But the resulting data kept getting more and more strange...

The absorption of energy was more and more terrifying!

In the end...

The rest was history.

What did this mean?

Lu Ming had no idea.

But when he came back to his senses, the Card Creators Association was already surrounded... many auras surrounded them.

There was no way to leave!

What to do?

Lu Ming came to his senses.

If he stayed here, he might be the scapegoat!

However...

Where else could he go?

Whoosh!

Lu Ming took a deep breath. The four-star cultivators had entered the association and they were closing in. He kept telling himself that they forced him to do it!

Hence...

Lu Ming clenched his fists, whispering. “Li Haoran... I am sorry.”

Upon finishing his words...

Whoosh!

The Original Card in Lu Ming’s hand shone brightly. Lu Ming maneuvered the front of the card to smash onto him. There was a loud sound and he fainted.

...

Bang!

A loud sound could be heard.

The black cat was awakened from its sleep, looked shocked.

It swept its cold, icy gaze and found Lu Ming who fainted on the floor.

“Did something happen?”

Its eyes glittered as what happened a few seconds ago flashed in front of its eyes. It was stunned when it saw that Lu Ming used the Original Card to attack himself.

This guy...

The black cat took a long while to come to its senses.

What was wrong with the child?

Yesterday, the child learned to recite to the Original Card...

Today the child inflicted harm on himself!

That was too terrifying!

What did Lunar Shadow pass on to him?!

...

At this very moment...

The cultivators who had entered the association went up to the seventh floor cautiously.

Afterward...

They saw Lu Ming on the ground, covered with blood. He looked a terrible sight. He was the first casualty that they had found.

“Be on alert.”

“Help him!”

“I’ll do it...”

One of them released healing abilities.

Buzz—

The wounds on Lu Ming began to heal.

“There are no other abnormalities.”

“The machine was broken.”

“All the other Card Creators are fine except for him...”

Everyone paused and looked toward Lu Ming while they checked his injuries. “The enemy is very powerful. The injuries were due to a close range attack. Perhaps it is a hammer?”

“Oh...”

“There are other smaller scars over here. It seemed to be slashed by a knife. I suppose it might be a dagger. All of us are unable to determine the location of the enemy!

“It must be the work of an Assassin!”

Everyone was analyzing the situation.

At this very moment...

Zhang Yang who sat in a wheelchair came over.

“Lu Ming!

Lu Ming!”

There was a look of worry on Zhang Yang’s face. “Damn it! I just told you to be careful and right now you almost died! Li Haoran, that bastard, I will never let him go!”

“Li Haoran?”

Everyone caught on to the name.

“Yes.”

Zhang Yang was upset.

“Is it Li Haoran who talked about the basic principles of stability and foundation?”

Another Card Creator had some recollection.

“Yes.”

Zhang Yang sighed. “I was beaten up by an Assassin a few days ago and I reminded Lu Ming to be careful. I did not expect that he would be... And it was so serious!”

“This...”

Everyone looked at each other.

And right then.

Lu Ming regained his consciousness.

“Young man, what did you see?” one of the four-star cultivators asked.

“I don’t know.”

Lu Ming shook his head. “I was about to do the testing when everything turned black and I fainted.”

“Okay.”

Everyone sympathized with him.

He was merely a two-star Card Creator.

“Let’s check the surroundings to see whether the enemy is around,” one of them said in a low voice.

Hence...

Everyone searched every corner of the Card Creators Association to ascertain that the enemy who launched the attack had really left.

Afterward...

They thought hard about it.

Lu Ming was the only one who was hurt...

Zhang Yang was injured a few days ago...

Lu Ming and Li Haoran had some conflicts today...

Both of them were seriously wounded but it would not cost their lives. It was simply to give them a beating. It did not seem like it was their enemies who sought revenge

After thinking seriously about it, the attacker’s identity seemed to be obvious.

That was right!

It was Li Haoran!

They had confirmed their doubts!

...

According to sources...

Because of this, the higher-ups were furious. Although there was no evidence to say that it was Li Haoran, Li Haoran had records of beating Zhang Yang.

The Chong Yang branch had done themselves in.

They would not be able to get up on their feet now.

At this very moment...

Li Haoran who had just returned to Chong Yang city received a series of bans.

Banned from entering the Card Creators Association.

Banned from creating cards for Assassins.

Banned from leaving Chong Yang city.

Banned from going near Lu Ming.

...

Li Haoran was dumbstruck. Who did he offend?
