Divine Card Creator

Chapter 188 - The Expelled Lu Ming



Chapter 188: The Expelled Lu Ming

The School Championship Competition.

The tournament venue.

There was pin-drop silence in the entire hall.

Due to the young lady’s age, everyone adopted a casual attitude when watching the match. As a result, they had not come to their senses when the match ended...

T-this was the end of it?

When she appeared...

The young lady bounced onto the stage, carrying a schoolbag.

She put down her schoolbag.

The young lady made a move; Sword Auras dominated; the judges intervened forcefully...

Ended!

That young lady...

Everyone was shocked!

In the enormous screen.

Xiaobai’s age and vocation were flashed. Twelve years old, Card Creator, Two-star...

The entire hall was silent.

Card Creator!

Damn!

Were all the Card Creators nowadays mad?!

Below the stage.

The Feng Lin College had a dazed expression.

They had lost.

It was a thorough defeat.

As a team, they were very serious about this match. They treated Lu Ming and the group as real opponents, using various combat strategies and various tactics...

However...

They still lost!

The main team was in a predicament and they could only create a draw!

Even their reserve... was defeated thoroughly by the young lady from the other side!

Right now...

The team from Feng Lin College had fallen into deep abyss of lost and self-doubt... Were they too useless or was this world that different from their understanding?

Or perhaps...

The Card Creator profession was different from what they understood of it?

“Excuse me! Excuse me!”

The medical workers appeared and carried Xiao Chuan and passing by them.

Xiao Chuan was seriously injured. When he passed by his own team, he suddenly stretched out his hand.

“Wait a minute.”

The team leader of Feng Lin stopped the medical workers and moved to him. “Xiao Chuan, do you have something to say?”

A few of his team members also lounged over.

Xiao Chuan had something to say!

Could it be that...

That young lady had cheated?

Right!

That was possible!

Perhaps she had cards that were against the rules. For example, those gifted by her family and so on...

Hence...

The few of them lounged towards her.

“I...”

Xiao Chuan’s tone was filled with sorrow and injustice. “This is the first time... that I’ve... seen... someone... using a schoolbag... to store the cards...”

Pfft!

Spewing a mouthful of blood, he lost consciousness again.

The Feng Lin team fell silent together.

Looking at their teammate who was carried away by the medical workers, they were also despaired. It was not just Xiao Chuan. They, too, had not seen anyone using their schoolbag to store cards...

Damn it! This was too much of a bully!

***

The judging panel.

The judges were also silent.

“Well...

How’s the data on the surveillance equipment?”

“It’s normal.”

“So as to speak, those cards were all created by the young lady herself?”

“Yes.”

The judges were silent again.

What else could they do when they encountered such a situation?

They were in utter despair too!

What did this mean?

Stocking up cards through the reserve?

It was normal for the Card Creator to replenish his cards. However, no one had the same card creation speed as them... Forget it that Lu Ming was like that but this young lady?

Could they spare the lives of others?!

The audience.

They were stunned.

A Combat Card Creator was actually that amazing?!

Talent...

Was it merely talent?!

There were so many talented people. Why weren’t they that amazing when they were twelve years old! Perhaps this was not only attributed to talent but also the profession itself!

The speed with which Lu Ming created cards was too shocking!

This young lady...

It was the same for her!

Oo...

They would do some investigations when they go home.

Perhaps they could let their family’s children try this?

Combat Card Creator!

Seemingly, this path was not bad...

Shush!

Information flashed across the screen.

The competition had ended and everyone then regained their senses from the astonishment.

The college at the crossroad... won!

Bang!

There was an uproar in the entire hall.

The hall was filled with voices.

They had witnessed the birth of a miracle once again!

“This match is going to become famous.”

One of the spectators was so excited that he was trembling all over. He took videos continuously.

“True.”

The person beside him shared the same thought.

A team with an average two-star ability had defeated a team of three-star peak, four-star and five-star. How could such a combat video not become famous?

Especially—

The last match.

This was such a young girl...

The Sword Auras that engulfed the sky and ground...

Shocking!

The competition ended.

Lu Ming moved over and carried Xiaobai down from the stage. Xiaobai had not recovered from the excitement and her face was still flustered.

“How do you feel?”

Lu Ming smiled faintly.

“If he has that much energy, he should be able to win too,” Xiaobai said seriously.

Right.

Why did she beat him so easily?

It was because the competition rules stated that Energy Cards could not be used during the matches! Only the Card Creators could use those that they created themselves. What about other people?

No way!

Therefore, as the reserve, Xiaobai had the greatest advantage!

If that guy had the same amount of resources?

He might also win!

Of course...

This was only referring to the competition.

“Not bad.”

Lu Ming touched her little head.

This girl seemed to have quite good combat talent too. He had thought that Xiaobai would feel complacent after winning the match that easily...

At this moment, Liu Yuan stepped out from the ladies.

“Thank you.”

Zhang Xiaopang was grateful.

“Huh?”

Liu Yuan had a dazed expression. However, very soon, she seemed to have recalled something and her expression was rather strange. She just nodded slightly. “I-it’s no problem.”

Lu Ming glanced at her and smiled faintly.

It seemed that...

Miss Xin-er had already resolved this.

Xia Yu was somewhat silent.

It turned out that Miss Liu Yuan was actually that powerful!

It turned out that the young disciple by Lu Ming’s side was also very powerful!

As for him...

He did not help after all.

Was that path really right for him?

If he were to cultivate normally, perhaps he would have attained five-stars by now? He would not remain here like a fool then...

This path was certainly shocking but how long did he have to wait?

He did not know.

Xia Yu looked afar with a profound gaze.

“Let’s go back.”

Lu Ming smiled faintly.

As agreed, they could go home after this round of combat!

“Is it true that we really don’t need to fight anymore?” Zhang Xiaopang asked.

“Yes.”

Lu Ming smiled. “There is no difference in fighting once or twice. We have achieved enough victory. It will be pointless to continue fighting...

“Leave the remaining matters to me!’ Lu Ming said.

The later matches gradually began as Lu Ming and the group turned around and left.

At this very moment...

Along with their departure...

The videos that many spectators had secretly filmed at the administrative center were making their rounds constantly... Every headline was shocking, therefore increasing the fame of this match!

“Shocking Underdog! An Unbelievable Duel!”

“Unstoppable! The Last-gasp Kill by a Twelve-year-old Girl!”

“Two-star vs. Five-star? The Outcome is Always a Surprise!”

“The True Card Creator – Interpreting a Different Combat!”

“Under Everyone’s Gaze, He Actually Allowed a Twelve-year-old Girl to Do Such a Thing!”

“Crap!”

“This video...”

“Card Creators are actually that terrific?”

“They are very powerful.”

Everyone spread the videos constantly.

The popularity for the first round of the match shot up!

Everyone’s focus had also changed from five-star cultivator to two-star cultivator and then to Combat Card Creator and eventually zooming in to Card Creator...

At this very moment...

The School Championship Competition.

At the administrative center of the competition venue.

“We’re done for.”

The judges were in utter despair.

Forget it that there was Lu Ming. Everyone could treat him as an exception. However, another young lady appeared and she was only twelve years old...

Their hearts turned cold.

Something big was going to happen!

Lu Ming and the group won?

It was okay!

Jiang Yuebai won?

It was okay!

However!

The problem was that they had won with their identity as Card Creators, and especially in a way that vanquished and ravaged the opponents. There was a problem here...

“I don’t think they are that foolish?”

One of the judges felt helpless.

They followed the fad just because they saw that Combat Card Creators seemed amazing?

T-this... would be too dumb.

Can’t you guys tell that these two people are talented?

“Do you know why people fall for scams?”

“Why?”

That judge was puzzled.

“Because they cast their net wide...”

The chair of the judging panel sighed.

The larger the numbers, catching any kind of bird was possible.

If one person were to send a scam message, of course, nothing would happen. However, if a group of them sent to thousands and millions of people, someone would always fall for it...

Moreover, how many spectators do we have at the School Championship Competition?!

It was a shocking figure!

Amongst them, how many people would follow the fad?!

You don’t need too many. Really. You just need 0.001 percent of the people to do so. To the judges, this was already a huge calamity for the School Championship Competition!

“Segregate the profession?” one of the judges suggested.

Similarly to what they did before, they could define them as “Combat Card Creators” and separate it from ordinary Card Creators!

“It doesn’t work anymore.”

The other judge smiled bitterly. “The most common saying on the web now is that a Combat Card Creator is also a Card Creator! They widely acknowledged that: A Card Creator who uses cards in fights is considered a Combat Card Creator! Furthermore, the term Combat Card Creator was not official and would not pass the evaluation.

The judges were at a loss for words.

This was not a school forum where they could change the vocation name casually!

This was the School Championship Competition!

Every vocation here needed to go through formal certification!

It seemed that this avenue was out.

“Card Creator...”

After pondering deeply for a moment, the chair of the judging panel suddenly spoke, “I have a solution that can resolve our worries forever.”

He wanted to get rid of all the troubles brought by Lu Ming forever!

This was because he had already wasted too much time on this matter.

The purpose of their existence was to hold a good competition. They were not here to target Lu Ming or to discuss how to ensure that Lu Ming suffered a defeat!

They had wasted too much time on Lu Ming.

This had to end!

“When will the broadcast begin?” the chair of the judging panel suddenly asked.

“In three hours!” said one of the judges.

Right.

Three hours!

Due to the special circumstances of the School Championship Competition and to ensure that accidents of severing limbs, deaths and so on do not appear before the eyes of the people, they had forcefully delayed the broadcast timing...

However...

They only had three hours!

“Three hours!”

The chair of the judging panel wore a grave expression. “It should be enough!”

Shush!

He got up and contacted people that he was familiar with.

Some things had to be resolved as soon as possible.

The judges’ hearts skipped a beat. What was the chair trying to do?

That afternoon.

Qing Ming City.

Lu Ming and the group had already returned.

Inside the shop.

Lu Ming glanced regretfully at the messy pile of cards that he had prepared. He had initially planned to test many of them during the match today...

It was a pity...

He did not manage to use them.

That amazing feat of the team leader of Feng Lin had been thoroughly defeated by Xiaobai...

He was in awe.

Oo...

Since the match had already ended, it was easier to proceed with the next steps.

Well...

He would wait a little while more...

Lu Ming was paying attention to the popularity. It was not the right time yet.

However...

What he did not expect was that... Soon after, his wristband suddenly vibrated and a message was sent to his communication device — Your vocation has been changed.

Eh?

Lu Ming was dumbstruck.

There was a change in his vocation?

What the hell was this?

Wait a minute. Why would a vocation suddenly change?

“Huh?”

Xiaobai’s eyes also widened greatly.

Because she actually received the same message!

“Wait a minute...”

Lu Ming hurried to open the message.

Ding—

Hello, upon certification by the association, your vocation has already been changed to: Sword Card Master.

Lu Ming froze further.

“Master, did you do anything wrong?”

Xiaobai’s big eyes were filled with curiosity.

“No.”

Lu Ming looked confused.

How the hell would he know!

He had been busy with this round of match for the past few days. How would he have the spare time and energy to do other things?

Sword Card Master...

Hell... What kind of vocation was this?

“Wait a minute. Let me calm down.”

Lu Ming rubbed his head.

Sword Card Master, competition...

After he came to his senses, he gave President Zhang Yang a call. He then found out the whole story — To prevent the Card Creator profession from being ‘tainted’, he had already been expelled...

Lu Ming was dumbstruck.

You’re the one who is tainted!

Your whole family is tainted!

They merely won a competition. How did that taint the Card Creator profession?

“This is just as well.”

Zhang Yang coughed. “Without the Card Creator label, you can play around and no one will bother you. Do as you wish for the School Championship Competition. It’s not a problem to be the champion too. Oh, right. I saw that the strongest fighting profession of Combat Card Creator in the forum of The First Academy has also been changed to Sword Card Master.”

Lu Ming was speechless.

What did he mean by play around?!

Was he that kind of person?

He merely joined a competition and his vocation was gone.

He was someone who had clinched the most powerful one-star Card Creator title before. But now? He actually became someone who almost ‘tainted’ the Card Creator vocation...

What was going on?!

“Will this impact me greatly?”

Lu Ming sighed.

“It doesn’t have much of an impact.”

Zhang Yang pondered deeply for a moment. “It’s just that when your name is used in the public, your profession will be changed from Card Creator to Sword Card Master, which is categorized as a hidden profession. That will do. You can continue to enjoy access to all the resources of a Card Creator. There is no conflict.”

“When people are curious about the Sword Card Master profession, they will also go and learn about it? Won’t the outcome be similar?”

Lu Ming was speechless.

“Impossible. The prerequisites for Card Creator won’t change.”

Zhang Yang pursed his lips. “However, that group of shameless people adjusted the requirements for Sword Card Master to become extremely high?”

Extremely high?

Lu Ming felt a little perplexed, until he opened the web page about the Sword Card Master vocation.

——

Vocation name: Sword Card Master.

Cultivation difficulty level: Extremely difficult.

Vocation category: Combat vocation.

Cultivation requirement: Top-notch swordsmanship talent, top-notch card-creating talent, top-notch resources.

Minimum entry requirement: Master lamination at one-star, master Swordsman lines at one-star (If you fail, please switch vocation and re-cultivate as soon as possible).

Vocation review: This vocation requires a massive amount of resources. In all stages including beginner, intermediate and advanced, you will need an enormous investment. The cost performance index is extremely low. Typically not recommend as a vocation.

——

Lu Ming was speechless.

Alright.

True enough, the requirements for this vocation had increased.

He would not mention the three shocking requirements. Even one-star lamination, one Sword Aura lines were also specified...

To hell with it!

There must be a problem when someone could switch to this vocation successfully!

He himself could not do that too, okay?!

Furthermore, this was the first time that he saw a bracketed warning in the prerequisites — If you fail, please switch vocation and re-cultivate as soon as possible.

He hung up the phone.

However, Lu Ming did not recover from his shock.

Therefore, he had created a new vocation in such a ridiculous way?

Sword Card Master?

It sounded...

Perhaps it was quite dashing.
