Divine Card Creator - Chapter 176
Chapter 176: Did You Think You Are A Copier?!
In Qing Ming City.
The beasts’ tide incident was over.
People paid their attention to the School Championship Competition once again. After a few days’ time, the first round of the official match was finally over, and they entered the second stage.
On the Internet.
Everyone was talking about the School Championship Competition.
Some unexpected winner…
Some genius…
Some college…
The discussion was very heated.
However…
Right then, the administrative center of the School Championship Competition received unique data from the experimental judges regarding Lu Ming.
“It’s him again.”
The chair of the judging panel had a headache.
At the last meeting, they sacrificed their precious time to discuss Lu Ming’s problem. They did not expect that this was only the second round of the competition and the discussion was once again about Lu Ming!
He was merely a Card Creator.
What was all the fuss?
Didn’t they see such a sight before?
Right then, they saw a scene where the silhouette of a mysterious Swordsman dragged a five-star beast along with him. The judge left a comment at the end. This person was Lu Ming.
…
The conference room turned silent.
Everyone glanced at each other.
“Are you certain it’s Lu Ming?”
“I saw it with my own eyes.”
“Lu Ming is the mysterious Swordsman?”
“Uh—Yes and no. There is no mysterious Swordsman at all. This could be the trump card left by Lu Yan for him to wipe out his enemy. Qing Ming City changed it to a mysterious Swordsman as they had to take into account the acceptance level of the public.”
The chair of the judging panel was silent.
Oh.
It turned out that Qing Ming City had the same concern as them…
Why were they so anxious?
This was due to public acceptance.
This was due to Lu Ming’s vocation.
They could still vividly remember the events triggered by the ‘stocking up cards’ sensation a few years ago. Back then, many cultivators decided to become Card Creators…
Everyone had a dream of stocking up cards.
Then…
They would become just like everyone else.
Because of this, the School Championship Competition was embroiled in many lawsuits… many were still ongoing.
Many of them learned to be a Card Creator after watching the School Championship Competition. To them, when in combat, the Card Creators looked awe-inspiring…
However, they did not expect that the guy stocked up cards for two years!
Not many people could do that!
Nothing!
People did not care about that.
What they saw was the explosive capability of the Card Creator!
“Oh, right.”
A judge suddenly said, “We were involved in a new lawsuit yesterday…. it was because of the stocking up of cards.”
The other judges looked dumbfounded.
Yesterday?
Stocking up cards?
That happened a long time ago.
“What’s going on?”
The chair of the judging panel was shocked.
“Well, it was a one-star Card Creator. He watched the competition in school and saw the scene where the Card Creator won. He then insisted on changing his vocation to a Card Creator. His parents could not stop him and agreed. Now that he is in an auxiliary vocation, he’s starting to have some regrets.
Therefore, he filed a lawsuit against us. I remembered that the lawsuit was about false advertising and false matches…”
The judge felt helpless.
“Why didn’t the parents do anything?”
The chair of the judging panel had a headache.
“Oh, the parents are one of the plaintiffs.”
The judge sighed. “They felt that the School Championship Competition was a bad influence on the children who were still very young and easily affected and that was why he chose to be a Card Creator.”
The chair of the judging panel looked at the logo on the lower right of the event poster that was pasted in the conference room. It read, “Minors must be accompanied by parents while watching” and was lost in thought.
Was the font size of this line not big enough or not conspicuous enough?
“Forget it.”
The chair of the judging panel shook his head. “Let’s focus on the present. Let’s talk about Lu Ming.”
They had to take care of this.
They did not want to be sued a few years later as some cultivators watched Lu Ming’s video and changed to become a Card Creator, only to realize that it was far from what they imagined.
“Should we ban him from taking part?”
One judge shook his head.
“No.”
The chair of the judging panel rejected the suggestion.
In theory, all students were allowed to participate in the School Championship Competition. This was the foundation of the School Championship Competition. After all, this should be the carnival for all the students. Why couldn’t auxiliary vocations take part? Besides, many auxiliary vocations worked hard in their own vocations…
The rules of the School Championship Competition were that it would be an arena contest.
Did this mean that as long as there was a talented player from the school and the school would become the strongest college?
Obviously not.
Once the School Championship Competition had selected the top hundred players, the rules would change. It would be a real team battle. All the vocations would cooperate to win the match and this was the essence of the competition!
Fighting vocation, auxiliary vocation…
Every vocation would be able to shine in its own way. This was the real School Championship Competition battle!
The auxiliary vocations in the team battle would be the real assistants!
Everyone would make use of the characteristics of their individual vocation and play it to their best, helping the team to clinch the victory. It would be just as exciting. This was unlike Lu Ming who forayed into other vocations to stir up trouble!
“That is too troublesome.”
One female judge pursed her lips. “Why don’t we apply the rules for the matches of the top one hundred to all the matches?”
“That’s the old rule…” One judge protested.
“Hehe.”
The female judge pursed her lips, speaking in a disdainful tone. “In the past, one could have many wives, but right now haven’t all of you been single all your life? Apart from me, who else is willing to have meals with you?”
The judge felt upset.
Couldn’t they discuss this rationally?
This was a personal attack!
So what if they had meals together?
She was so stingy.
He led a happy life being single. Why did she mock him?
The chair of the judging panel glanced at the person speaking and did not say anything.
However, it seemed possible to extend the rules. Initially, the School Championship Competition started out with arena contests only. The competition had been through many changes before they came up with new rules for the battle for the top one hundred players…
It had become more comprehensive now!
It could better reflect the power and strength of the colleges!
Perhaps…
It was worth a try!
Wasn’t Lu Ming very formidable?
He wondered if he could use his cards casually when he was faced with five cultivators.
Back then, the participant who stocked up cards suffered a crushing defeat in the teams battle!
A Card Creator was ultimately a Card Creator.
So what if they had many cards?
Sorry.
Once he was targeted, he had no chance to use them!
Energy Warrior, Assassin, Sharpshooter, Elementalist…
All of the cultivation vocations would teach him the right behavior!
“It is decided!”
The chair of the judging panel had come to a decision.
The rules for the top one hundred would apply now as well!
From the second round onward, all the matches would be in the form of a team battle!
He wanted to see how Lu Ming would be ravaged by the team of five…
…
The news caused a huge uproar.
Those colleges who were focused on training individual students felt regretful. They did not expect that the rules of this year’s School Championship Competition would change!
At the same time…
Some rejoiced while some worried.
They worked hard to adapt to the new rules.
Of course.
Those who had targeted to fight to be the top one hundred were already prepared!
To the School Championship Competition, these were the people that they were interested in. The colleges that had the impression that they could train one single student and become one of the top hundred colleges were simply dreaming.
It made no difference if they advanced in ranks or not.
A few days later.
The second round of the competition had officially begun.
As the contests were replaced by team battles, the contests ended sooner than before. Matches that would originally take several days ended in a day!
That night.
All the contests at the various venues had ended.
At this very moment…
It was very late at night.
At the administrative center of the School Championship Competition.
All the judges sat in the conference room looking upset.
The conference room.
The huge screen showed the contests that took place today.
Well…
Especially the contests in Qing Ming City.
On the screen…
It was a fairly strong college that was just as good as Zi Yang Combat College, and needless to say, their opponent was Lu Ming…
The contest had just begun…
Shush!
Lu Ming hurled some cards out.
Bang!
The whole field was covered by Sword Auras…
After… the battle was over.
Yes.
It was so simple and rough.
The Autumn Water Sword Aura was a peak two-star as well as a surmounting ability. In general, only a peak three-star was capable of mastering the execution and learning difficulty of this level!
Furthermore…
One could only use it once due to the energy consumption.
But for Lu Ming…
He had the Energy Cards as replenishment.
He created it by himself, therefore they could not ban him from using it.
Hence…
That was it.
They had a meeting and came to a decision to extend the rules for the top one hundred battles to all the contests. But to Lu Ming, this only meant that the time spent engaging in five contests was reduced to that of one contest.
It was more time-saving.
It also showed how domineering a Card Creator was.
Everyone looked grim.
Damn!
Did he mass-produce the Swordsman Cards?!
Did he produce one stack at a time?!
The assistant walked forward, took a look at the chair of the judging panel and said cautiously, “The popularity of the Card Creator over the same period has increased by 500%… ‘How to change vocation to become a Card Creator?’, ‘Are all Card Creators that powerful?’, ‘Card Creator extracurricular training course registration’ and other keywords were just as popular.”
The conference room was in total silence.
Obviously…
No one had expected that this would be the results of the second round!
“How many cards did he cast?”
One judge asked suddenly.
“Twenty cards.”
The assistant looked at the data before answering.
Twenty cards…
Seven days, twenty cards!
Wait, it seemed that the last time Lu Ming also cast twenty cards. That was to say, he could create three Autumn Water Sword Auras every day!
Three cards…
This was a figure that was far larger than his peers!
Even his friends who were four-star Card Creators could only create one Swordsman Card!
Lu Ming, this guy…
He was extraordinary.
However, if there were only three cards, it would be easy to deal with him…
“Shorten the time!
Let’s try to shorten the seven-day contest to three days.”
He suggested.
Everyone felt that it was feasible after a brief discussion.
Seven days, twenty cards!
How about three days?
At most he would have nine cards!
He could not blindly attack with nine Swordsman Cards.
As long as he could not keep up with it and did wipe out the opponents, the other party would be able to counterattack! Given Lu Ming’s capability, he would be defeated by the fighting vocation!
Well…
It was feasible.
Therefore, the rules for the third round were released and the time was brought forward.
Three days later.
The third round began.
Since the participating colleges had been significantly reduced, the competition time had been shortened. The contests ended in the evening and the contests in Qing Ming City…
It was as usual.
At the administrative center of the School Championship Competition.
The conference room.
The judges looked at the screen with a dazed look. As usual, Lu Ming wiped out all the opponents with his Sword Auras and defeated a fairly strong opponent…
Was he a devil?
The time had been changed to three days and he could still create so many cards!
“Why don’t…
We shorten it to one day?”
One judge sighed deeply. “It will have no impact on other vocations.”
“What about students who are injured?”
“We can allocate more money to the medical department. We will be responsible for it. This should be able to reduce the impact of the new rules as much as possible…”
“Okay.”
The judges agreed to it.
He should not be able to create many cards within a day.
Hence…
The fourth round of competition began one day later.
The judges could not be bothered to check which school ranked first or second. They went directly to watch the contests in Qing Ming City and played Lu Ming’s video right away…
Bang!
It was covered with Sword Auras!
The numerous Sword Auras defeated the five opponents straight away…
The battle was over!
The judges were dumbfounded.
He still had more cards!
Was he a copier?!
How did he create twenty cards in a day?
Nobody knew.
“Perhaps they were the remaining cards from the previous contests?”
One judge asked weakly.
Everyone was silent.
God knew!
They could no longer understand.
To Lu Ming, creating a Swordsman Card that was of a high difficulty level seemed to be easier than creating a simple card!
Could it be that…
This was the so-called Combat Card Creator?
Even the chair of the judging panel began to doubt that they might have some prejudices against Card Creators and they did not develop the full potential of Card Creators.
“Did the Card Creators develop any way of copying cards?”
One of the judges whispered.
A Card Creator judge turned sullen.
Copying?
Did he think that it was a disc?!
If cards could be copied, there was no need for Card Creator?!
“Then what should we do?”
Everyone looked at each other.
Ever since the competition began, they had never come across such a difficult problem.
Actually…
It was good that the Card Creators were getting more and more influential.
But it was not good that the cultivators began to have a vague impression of the definition of a Card Creator as well as its future direction. Moreover, there were the cunning businessmen who made use of every opportunity…
They heard that there were already several ‘Combat Card Creator infants extracurricular courses’ being opened in Qing Ming City…
God knew what the course would be teaching the students!
“Would anyone believe it?” one judge wondered.
“Hehe.”
“Look at the rumors forwarded by your circle of friends and you will know whether anyone believes it or not,” Another judge sneered.
After the pre-selection and four rounds of competitions, Lu Ming had fought in five matches and he ended every match in a domineering manner, especially in the last few games.
He defeated them instantly and drew much attention in Qing Ming City.
If this went on, and he proceeded to the top one hundred competition at the main venue…
It would be worst!
“How many games are there left in the branch venue?”
The only female judge asked languidly.
“Three! After two more matches, there should be more than one hundred people. We will choose some people to battle in the third match and select the final one hundred schools.”
“Put all the matches together. Let Lu Ming go one more round.”
“Huh?”
“Decide on the venue beforehand. The three matches will be held together. Although Lu Ming can create twenty cards in a day, I don’t believe he can create sixty cards a day.”
The female judge stretched.
“It is such a straightforward… plan!”
The judge next to her was elated.
“Okay.”
The chair of the judging panel was relieved.
He no longer wished to waste any more time on this.
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.
Right now…
It would finally be over.
As for whether Lu Ming could create sixty Sword Aura Cards in a day?
No way.
The Card Creator judge had done a serious calculation. Even if he ignored factors like talent and Sword Auras, Lu Ming still had to draw them strokes by strokes, it was impossible to create the cards!
Even if he stayed up all night, there would not be enough time!
There were many lines to be drawn!
“I hope that the weather is good the day after tomorrow.”
They had some expectations.
Well…
Although they felt embarrassed to target a two-star Card Creator, at the thought that the guy who tortured them for days and causing them not to sleep well was about to suffer…
They could not help but feel happy.
