Divine Card Creator - Chapter 277
Chapter 277: Hahahaha, Equipment Actually Fell Out!
Qing Ming City.
Underground.
Two figures were in constant collision.
Bang!
Bang!
Constant zooming sounds could be heard.
A red and a pale blue figure constantly collided.
The speed of the duo had reached their respective limits. Only afterimages left behind by their bodies could be seen. Their prowess was shocking. Both forces were equally matched!
Bang!
There was another deafening sound.
The two shadows separated once again.
“How’s it possible that you can contend with me?!”
The man in black was somewhat stunned.
What was his ability?
Mighty five-star!
After burning his life, his powers increased even more!
However…
Even under such circumstances, in terms of physique alone, Lu Ming, a mere four-star, was an equal match. How could this be possible?
“Haha.”
Lu Ming only smiled faintly.
The Moonlight Card belonged to the advanced four-star category. It was comparable to an ordinary five-star card. He had absorbed all the powers of the Moonlight Card!
Besides…
You’re also a pirated good, alright?!
Do you think you’re just an Energy Warrior?
This guy merely relied on his physique to release his powers. In comparison to some of the peak three-star super geniuses in the Illusory Realm, he was still slightly weaker!
Tell me. You’re a double-major Demon Warrior and you want to rely solely on your physique to win?
Why are you that shameless!
Where did your confidence come from?
Obviously, the man in black also realized this problem.
Earlier on, he had been feeling smug after burning his life. He did not expect that Lu Ming also had such a trump card.
Since this was the case…
They would engage in a true combat then!
Bang!
A patch of flames suddenly burned on his body.
Terrifying elemental abilities spread along his body. They circled the fist that he was aiming towards Lu Ming!
Scorching Flame Sky Bursting Fist!
This was the unique and powerful ability of a five-star Demon Warrior!
“It’s coming!”
Lu Ming squinted his eyes.
He had long guessed that once the man in black could not beat him with his physique, the latter would definitely unleash his unique move. However, he did not expect this move to be that powerful!
The moment the fist was launched, its terrifying power spread…
This ability…
It was definitely advanced five-star!!!
True enough.
Burning of life had greatly increased the powers of the man in black in all aspects!
What to do?
Get Xiao-Xiaojian to fight it head-on?
Lu Ming glanced at Xiao-Xiaojian and it instantly turned pale… What a joke? It had only gone through four-star tempering and Lu Ming wanted it to fight an advanced five-star head-on?!
Was this a joke?!
Well…
He could only use the Moonblade then.
However…
If it was possible, Lu Ming really did not want to use it.
It was true.
He felt completely drained after using it. Lu Ming reckoned that if another enemy appeared in the ancient tomb afterward, he might die on the spot…
The most important point was…
Even if he used Moonblade, he might not even be able to kill this guy.
After all…
After burning his life, this guy was too powerful!
Why did Lu Ming attack?
He wanted to test his ability!
Yes.
He wanted to combat and merely wanted to test his own ability. Now, he had almost confirmed it.
He was a beginner four-star.
As for combat ability…
Under circumstances where he wasn’t using an ability, he was unequaled at the four-star level. He and Xiao-Xiaojian were both top-notch four-star. Basically, they could beat their opponents and make them doubt life with brute force alone!
When they used card abilities, they could fight a beginner five-star head-on and directly move to a higher level!
For intermediate five-star cultivators…
He could use unique and super abilities such as Moonblade to fight them.
Of course.
The one before them who burned life was not counted.
As to advanced five-star and above…
There was no other way.
In that case, Lu Ming considered that he had completed the review of his abilities after his four-star breakthrough.
Since this was the case…
Why should he continue fighting?!
…
“I’m sorry,” Lu Ming suddenly said to the man in black.
The man in black suddenly had a bad premonition. However, he was midway in the air and charging at Lu Ming forcefully now. Seeing that he was about to kill Lu Ming in one strike…
Where did this bad premonition come from?
He did not know!
Afterward…
He saw it.
Lu Ming raised his hand slightly and took out another Moonlight Card.
It was that card again?
What was Lu Ming trying to do?
Could it be that…
Lu Ming’s Moonlight Card could actually take effect multiple times?!
If that was the case…
Could Lu Ming become more powerful?
He stared at Lu Ming.
Bang!
His figure was like a rainbow.
Terrifying flames left long trails behind them.
He did not believe that Lu Ming could withstand this fist of his!
…
At this very moment…
Lu Ming was quietly looking at the man in black who was dashing towards him.
Bang!
The streak of flames had already landed.
The man in black looked serious, focused and unperturbed by Lu Ming. At this moment, his powerful fist was merely a few meters away from Lu Ming and would hit him in a matter of seconds.
However…
Just at this moment…
The Moonlight Card in Lu Ming’s hands dissipated.
Bang!
A beam of moonlight appeared.
“True enough! He wants to double the effect!”
The man in black hollered furiously in his heart.
Hurry!
Faster!
Increase the power!
The power in his body tossed and turned. He wanted to have an earth-shattering duel with Lu Ming!
However…
Just as his earth shaking fist was less than a meter away from Lu Ming, the moonlight suddenly landed. It penetrated the sky, ground and the… man in black.
Bang!
Moonlight landed!
The man in black who was dashing at a lighting speed was blasted to the ground instantly. He tripped and fell to the ground on his four limbs in front of Lu Ming, as if he was giving him a huge kowtow!
The man in black had a dazed look on his face.
What the hell was this?
This card was actually cast on him?!
Was this not an incremental card?
This force…
…
Due to the impact of this sudden blow, his attacking fist stopped. However, he felt elated when he sensed the surge of powers from the moonlight!
That surge….
Those powers possessed by Lu Ming!
Bang!
Moonlight emerged.
Although his attack was stopped by Lu Ming, he had become stronger!
Hahaha!
Lu Ming, this dumbass!
He actually used this kind of method to stop him?
It was ridiculous!
…
Shush!
He was preparing to get up.
This was because the burst of moonlight power had made him become stronger!
However…
At this moment.
“Brother, have you exploded before?”
Lu Ming suddenly asked.
Eh?
The man in black furrowed his brows tightly. Explode?
Afterward…
Bang!
Another beam of moonlight landed and perforated him on the spot!
His powers increased again!
The surging powers flowed into his body. The increase in his powers from the two bursts of moonlight had maxed out his body and he was beginning to explode!
“Oh no!”
The countenance of the man in black changed drastically.
What did the burning of life mean?
He would be supplied with endless energy for the time being!
This also meant that…
His body was already at its upper limit!
Similarly, the Moonlight Card would also greatly increase the powers in his body!
Therefore, when one was burning one’s life and was also being constantly supplied with energy from the Moonlight Card, the increase of powers and adding of energy…
It was like eating too much and dying from overeating.
And taking stimulants!
“Brother, rest in peace.”
Lu Ming sighed.
Shush!
Another Moonlight Card in his hands dissipated.
Bang!
Moonlight landed.
The fiery red flames and the faint blue moonlight converged.
In the end…
Bang!
They were transformed into fireworks!
In this dim ancient tomb, there was an unprecedented explosion of splendor.
“They’re exploding.”
Lu Ming felt grateful.
Xiao-Xiaojian was filled with sympathy.
Brother, you have to know. Lu Ming makes moves on people who are weaker than him! When facing someone who is more powerful than him, if he can not beat him, he definitely turns the tables around…
After all…
It feels good to turn the tables once. It feels even better to turn the tables constantly!
…
Bang!
Bang!
Red and blue lights were released.
The place was filled with dazzling lights.
It was akin to the X layers of ice and fire in the rumors…
“It’s so beautiful,” Lu Ming and Xiao-Xiaojian exclaimed in amazement.
…
Suddenly…
An ancient-looking paper drifted to the ground. Despite the horrifying explosion, it was actually intact and without the slightest bit of damage. It drifted to them in a leisurely manner.
“Equipment has fallen!”
Xiao-Xiaojian was overjoyed.
When it first saw a computer, it heard that that era had an amazing and strange practice where equipment dropped out when bad guys were defeated. It did not expect it to be true!
Equipment?
Lu Ming waved his hands.
Buzz—
The piece of paper landed in his hands — “Burning of Life”.
Shush!
There was suddenly silence in the air.
Lu Ming was speechless.
After a long time…
He spoke.
“This is a good thing.”
Lu Ming pondered deeply.
“Yes,” Xiao-Xiaojian agreed.
However, at the thought of how the man in black looked at thirty years old, they felt somewhat troubled.
That man… was only thirty years old!
He even cultivated his physique and still looked like that?!
He was neither a programmer nor a novelist, how did he become that old-looking?!
This was too much!
Therefore…
When that item appeared in his hands, he was uncertain if it was a blessing or calamity. It was akin to a certain demonic curse. Once it began…
It might not be stoppable!!!
“You have to think on the bright side,” Xiao-Xiaojian said, “Without this, that guy would have been dead already.”
Burning of Life.
To put it bluntly, it could only be used when one was on the brink of death!
“Not necessarily.”
Lu Ming mulled for a moment. “Without this paper, he might not have taken the easy way out. Of course, he might not have progressed that quickly either. Perhaps he would still be a three-star salted fish leading a happy life. He wouldn’t have advanced to four-star, five-star. He wouldn’t have encountered increasingly powerful enemies, like me… and then died.”
Lu Ming heaved continuous sighs.
After contemplating the situation, Xiao-Xiaojian felt that this seemed to make sense.
This paper… could be good or bad.
Sometimes, when a person had a trump card, their attitude would become more laissez faire…
“This is human nature.”
Lu Ming was full of emotions.
Once a gamer who was an avid buyer of Guardian Angel [1. Equipment in the online game League of Legends], he was very clear about this point.
…
“I’ll take a look first.”
Lu Ming flipped the paper in his hands.
Well…
There was a very brief description about Burning of Life: ‘Burn a fixed number of years of life and transform it into powers to help you increase your ability!’
Fixed number of years…
Based on what the man in black had said, it might not be five years in the beginning!
This meant that with an increase in usage, once the user was familiar with the process, the number of years decreased it used and eventually became lesser and lesser.
It sounded very wonderful.
However…
As someone who had seen the man in black, Lu Ming was not drawn to this at all.
“Perhaps you can give it a try.”
Xiao-Xiaojian was happy to see this.
Hahahaha!
He suddenly wanted very much to see an old Lu Ming…
After all…
If he were to keep this thing, he would use it sooner or later, right?
Once he used it…
Hahahahaha!
Hadn’t Lu Ming always been boasting about his unrivaled good looks? If he were to age by one or two decades, what would he become? Hahahaha!
Xiao-Xiaojian was overjoyed.
Afterward…
It suddenly heard Lu Ming said, “Speaking of this, can a spirit body use this thing?”
Shush!
There was suddenly silence in the air.
Huh?!
Xiao-Xiaojian looked puzzled.
Spirit bodies…
Why did he suddenly mention spirit bodies?!
“Don’t sword spirits like you have an infinite lifespan?”
Lu Ming seemed to be lost in his thoughts. “There are a lot of problems if a human uses this but if it’s used on spirit bodies, there won’t seem to be any issues…”
Xiao-Xiaojian was silent.
Seemingly…
The plot was developing adversely…
“Right.”
The more Lu Ming thought about it, the more amazed he felt. “You reside in the vocation core. Think about it, if a vocation core ages by five years, it’s impossible for it to look older. On the other hand, its ability… Yes… Do you think your ability will simply progress to another level?! Do you want to give it a try?”
“Get lost!”
Xiao-Xiaojian rejected him!
Who are you trying to fool?!
The source of the powers of Burning of Life is the burning of one’s life span!
What will a sword spirit burn?
Burn itself?!
As for life…
Who the hell knows what happens when the sword spirit is burnt!
“You really don’t want to try?”
Lu Ming persuaded him, “Think about it. Xiao-Xiaobai was born so its spirit body is very weak. If it uses it, perhaps it can grow up faster.”
After thinking, Xiao-Xiaojian actually felt a little tempted.
However…
It recovered its senses right away.
“Why don’t you let Xiaobai use it?!”
Xiao-Xiaojian sneered. “Xiao-Xiaojian is only twelve years old now. If she becomes ten years older immediately…”
Lu Ming was silent.
It seemed… very logical.
However, he then recalled reading a lot of problems on Zhihu [1. Zhihu is a Chinese question-and-answer website where questions are created, answered, edited and organized by the community of its users.] in his past life. He eventually aborted this idea. After all, things like puberty… were essential knowledge.
It was true.
Some ladies already reached their peak when they were twelve years old.
Grow more?
No way…
If you’re in junior high school and are troubled by puberty during school, never pray that you won’t grow anymore. Because you really won’t have another growth spurt… Forever.
…
“Let’s keep this first.”
Lu Ming sighed.
He had no use for Burning of Life for the time being.
There was no choice.
No matter how mysterious this ability was, depleting his life span…
Lu Ming reckoned that there was always a limit to hislife span and if he were to burn it casually, he might die very soon…
Forget it.
He would put the paper away first.
When he returned, he would do some research and let the spirit bodies try it…
He felt that would work.
If his research was successful, perhaps the Sword Card Master vocation would have another new ability?!
Xiao-Xiaojian was silent.
It felt that playing dumb at this moment was the best option.
…
The man in black was dead.
He was very powerful and Lu Ming could only make him explode. In the end, nothing else appeared. Everything was fine. The group of ancient tombs before his eyes…
“I’ll check it out.”
Lu Ming’s gaze was scorching.
Afterward…
Half an hour later.
The man and the card fell silent.
They were surrounded by graves!
What could they check?
What could they see?
They had no idea at all!
What was the plan of the men in black?
They did not know either!
The runes on the tomb?
The ancient engravings on the walls?
Well…
They could not figure them out.
Did they really think that everyone is Lara Croft [2.Lara Croft is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the video game franchise Tomb Raider]?!
“Well… I seem to have overestimated my intelligence,” Xiao-Xiaojian said honestly.
“Yes.”
It was seldom that Lu Ming was that honest.
…
