Divine Card Creator - Chapter 200
Chapter 200: I Really Didn’t Do You In This Time
Qing Ming City.
In the suburbs.
Lu Ming had specifically chosen a barren area this time.
This was because the card he was testing this time had two aspects — Direction and geographical scope. Therefore, Lu Ming found an area with fearsome two-star beasts.
In the wilderness.
Faraway, he could see a group of two-star beasts gathering…
Of course.
What he was doing was merely preparation.
After all…
This was the first time that Lu Ming was releasing this card. He didn’t dare cast it towards himself. If it was a strange card, he would be dead meat?!
Therefore…
The target this time was that group of two-star fearsome beasts!
Buzz—
A striking glow dazzled.
Shush!
The four-star Cloud Shuttle Card glowed and dissipated.
Afterward…
Whoosh!
It was as if a breeze had blown past…
The whole world was silent.
After a long time…
Lu Ming blinked his eyes, which were getting a little dry.
Where was the promised cloud shuttle?!
A distance away.
The group of two-star beasts was still around.
They did not detect Lu Ming’s presence at all and had no reaction. Right from the beginning, there was only a flash of light from Lu Ming’s side…
There was nothing else afterward.
Lu Ming looked as if he was doubting his life choices.
One hundred thousand energy points!
A total of one hundred thousand!
If he was in the Lunar Shadow legacy, this could be used to beat Wu Hongfei until the latter addressed him as father!
But, the outcome?
There was only a flash of light… and nothing else!
Lu Ming’s face was black. His expression was ugly.
Of course.
There was also a possibility of delay?
Hence…
Lu Ming waited on the spot. He waited and waited…
He personally saw the targeted beast drinking water leisurely, lying down and even catching a female beast to mate with it. Still, nothing happened.
The sky darkened.
The world was still so peaceful.
Alright.
Lu Ming was very certain that nothing had happened.
“What the hell is this?!
Lu Ming was somewhat confused.
Directive…
Since it was a directive card, he could definitely choose the target!
He was very sure about how the testing machine worked. The fact that it called it a directive meant that the machine had detected that the lines had such a module!
Or perhaps…
Something went wrong?!
No.
That was not right.
When he cast it, he could definitely determine the direction…
Clearly, he had sensed a gush of mystical force surging towards the target, and then nothing else…
What did this mean?
Lu Ming felt very troubled.
It was true.
He was well aware that the testing of new ability and cards required more trials and errors. When he created the three-star Cloud Shuttle Card in the past, he had experimented for a long time!
He even tested it out on a beast tide!
However…
This card could not be tested in that way…
The depletion rate was too scary!
One hundred thousand points?
He did not even know how this figure came about!
Didn’t the machine say ten thousand points?
He could also sense that it was about ten thousand points…
And this effect…
It was also strange and mysterious.
“Again?”
Lu Ming was vexed.
His heart ached at the thought of using another one hundred thousand energy points.
However…
He would go all out!
Lu Ming gritted his teeth.
You can’t make an omelet without breaking eggs!
How could he find out the effect of this card without trying?
Hence…
Lu Ming began to prepare again.
This time…
He opted for a beast that passed by…
Three-star!
Its ability was not bad.
Hiding in the darkness, Lu Ming took out a stack of Energy Cards again. He aimed it at the target and released them. A faint layer of glow flashed across the top of the four-star Cloud Shuttle Card…
Buzz—
Lights and shadows flashed.
A shadow surged towards the passing beast!
Afterward…
There was nothing more…
The world… was still peaceful.
The night… was still silent.
The cloud shuttle did not appear. The bulls did not appear. Even the burial mound did not…
Lu Ming was silent.
Damn!
Nothing again?!
A useless card?
Lu Ming frowned.
How could that be possible?!
This was a four-star Cloud Shuttle Card!
He absolutely refused to believe that a dignified four-star top-notch card that had gone through lightning integration, a super card that needed to consume one hundred thousand energy points, would be useless!
However…
Why wasn’t there any reaction?
He could not figure it out.
Where did my card go?!
It was very late at night.
Twilight was approaching.
Lu Ming stared as the three-star beast walked past him nonchalantly and into a distance… eventually disappearing from his vision.
Great.
He sighed deeply. What else could he say?
“I should go back,” said Lu Ming.
Lu Ming was between laughter and tears.
This trip was really…
Forget it.
He turned around and was prepared to go home. However, just as he took two steps, his foot bumped into something. Lu Ming looked down and found a crystal nucleus in the grass.
“I actually found this!?”
Lu Ming was between laughter and tears.
What was a crystal nucleus?
To put it bluntly, this was the crystal nucleus from the beast’s body.
From a certain perspective, it was the beast’s cultivation root, which was quite similar to the vocation core of cultivators. It was something akin to the Sword Embryo and Original Card.
Typically, it would only appear after the beast had been hunted down and killed…
Yes.
This was possible!
The beast was not stupid…
They would also self-erupt when they were antagonized.
Self-eruption of crystal nucleus!
Its powers were extraordinary!
Therefore…
In normal circumstances, humans could only attain the crystal nucleus if they were far more powerful than the beasts. As a result, the crystal nucleus was a very pricey item.
However…
Why would it be on the ground?
“I suppose this can be considered as a slight compensation.”
Lu Ming rubbed his head.
He picked up the crystal nucleus. Just as he was prepared to leave, another crystal nucleus appeared on the ground.
Lu Ming was suddenly wary. What was happening?!
He found two crystal nuclei at the same time?!
How could this be possible?!
If a certain powerful figure slew them…
He could simply take the crystal nuclei away? If the other party did not care, they would not remove the crystal nuclei from the corpses. Could this be a trap?
Shush!
Lu Ming was very wary.
However…
Just as he took a step forward, there were no more crystal nuclei.
“I have a hunch that something is not quite right.”
Lu Ming paused for a moment.
He looked at the two crystal nuclei in his hands. They were dry and astringent, not round and plump at all. They were flat… Nevertheless, their appearance caused his heart to thump rapidly!
If he did not see it wrong… These two crystal nuclei…
Shush!
Lu Ming got up suddenly.
He looked at the herd of two-star beasts afar.
Bang!
He directly dashed over.
Wow—
The beasts were frantic and lost.
The beasts fled in all directions. Although Lu Ming did not release any aura, the dangerous aura that his body exuded was enough to make these two-star beasts feel wary!
Except for…
The beast on which Lu Ming had cast his ability earlier.
It was still sleeping.
It looked that serene.
It actually did not notice Lu Ming’s presence!
Bang!
Lu Ming caught it and forcibly swept his thoughts across it. He was shocked to discover that this beast had actually lost his crystal nucleus!
Could it be that…
Lu Ming’s pupils constricted.
The four-star Cloud Shuttle Card actually took away its crystal nucleus?!
Crap…
Calm down!
Calm down!
Lu Ming made himself calm down.
“Roar!”
The beast on the ground woke up.
It frantically launched an attack upon seeing Lu Ming.
Its strength… was still present.
However, along with its successive attacks, its powers increasingly weakened and so did its aura. Gradually, it was no different from a beast without any energy!
Without the crystal nucleus, it could not recover.
Without the crystal nucleus, its attack was extremely weak.
Buzz—
Lu Ming took out its crystal nucleus and threw it over.
“Argh—”
The beast swallowed it in one gulp.
Buzz—
The energy dissipated.
The powers of the beast increased tremendously and actually reverted to the normal level. It cast a fearful look at Lu Ming before running away hurriedly.
However, Lu Ming did not recover from his shock after a long time.
It turned out that…
This was the function of the four-star Cloud Shuttle Card!
Similar to its predecessor, the three-star Cloud Shuttle Card, it did not cause any harm!
However…
It could actually take away the crystal nucleus!
It was too frightening!
“There’s another beast.”
Lu Ming suddenly thought of that beast which walked past.
Well…
If its crystal nucleus was already gone, it should not be able to go too far…
Hence…
Lu Ming trod down the route it had taken and found the beast. At this moment, it was circling the vicinity, looking dazed…
Obviously…
It did not expect to lose its crystal nucleus in its life.
Swoosh!
Lu Ming conveniently threw it over.
The beast sensed a familiar aura and swallowed it in one gulp.
Bang!
Its powers resumed.
It ran far away again excitedly.
True enough…
Lu Ming’s pupils constricted.
These two crystal nuclei really belonged to them!
This went to say that the four-star card could really take away the cultivation core!
This was the first time that he tested a four-star card.
The effect was amazing!
This was crazy!
Lu Ming exclaimed his amazement in his heart.
In that case, he could challenge any beast single-handedly in the future?!
Who would dare to not concede defeat?!
Furthermore, he had an even more horrifying thought. If the Cloud Shuttle Card could take away a beast’s core. What would it take away when it was cast at a human?!
If…
Forget it.
Lu Ming took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
The sky was already dark.
Coupled with the energy exhaustion, he had to go back.
Furthermore…
He could not test it on humans at all!
Who could he look for?
What if something were to happen?
What if he were to take away a certain organ?
It was a terrifying thought!
“I should go back first.”
Lu Ming got up and prepared to leave.
However…
At this moment.
He heard a familiar voice.
“Eh… Lu Ming, Why are you here?”
“Huh?”
Lu Ming looked up and was instantly dumbstruck. A figure walked up to him from afar. It was actually Fan Ze!
Why was this guy here?!
“I was just passing by…” Lu Ming said casually.
Fan Ze’s expression darkened.
When you said this the last time, someone was after your life, right?
However, he did not want to expose Lu Ming. He was just a little boy and needed some face. He did not expect to bump into Lu Ming when he was on the way home!
Well…
He had not seen him for many days.
Fan Ze squinted his eyes.
The restrictions in his home were not dealt with yet…
Since the last incident. he had wanted to look for Lu Ming to resolve the restrictions. Afterward, he watched the School Championship Competition and saw this young man’s talent.
He could actually fight a four-star head on?!
It was no wonder he was not afraid when he saw him!
It was no wonder that a two-star Card Creator dared to run around at night!
However…
This was not something bad.
As to what had happened in the cave the last time, he had always thought that he was the one who led the beasts away and saved him… In that case, did it mean that…
“Well, Lu Ming…”
Fan Ze patted his shoulders. “Do you still remember that I saved you last time?”
“I remember. I remember.”
Lu Ming had a strange expression.
Remember, of course, he remembered.
It was such an important event. How could he forget?
In his impression…
This guy wanted to kill him at that point in time!
Tsk tsk…
“Hehe. I heard that Zhang Yang even commended you.”
Fan Ze heaved continuous sighs. “Look, we lured the beasts away and faced multiple dangers. In the end, the credit went to you. Shouldn’t you express your gratitude or something?”
“Huh?”
Lu Ming was confused. He was somewhat embarrassed. “B-but I don’t have money.”
“It’s okay.”
Fan Ze hung his arm around Lu Ming’s shoulder. “You’re considered as someone with a four-star ability now. It’s not nice to talk about that. Let’s go. It’s too dangerous at night. We did not handle the restrictions the last time…”
“O-h. Oh, alright.”
Lu Ming expressed that he understood.
“That’s right!”
Fan Ze brought Lu Ming home.
Very soon…
They arrived at his place.
A familiar mountain range, a familiar mansion.
“I’ll count on you for the restrictions then.”
Fan Ze sounded much more polite now when he spoke.
However…
He did not notice the extremely strange expression on Lu Ming’s face.
It was true.
He really did not expect such a coincidence!
He was still feeling troubled about having no one that he could test on…
Fan Ze came.
He was feeling troubled that he did not have enough energy…
Fan Ze came.
Fan Ze, it’s not that I want to do you in this time. You’re the one who came knocking on my door…
