Divine Card Creator-Chapter 397 - You’re So Annoying~
Chapter 397 You“re So Annoying~
Tian Du City.
Sword Card Master Association.
Lu Ming had resumed his daily routine.
Lu Ming had not quite figured out why the average score was reduced by that much due to his ‘equal treatment’ type of talent...
It seemed to have something to do with the calculation method.
Furthermore, there were some differences in the method used in calculating talent between the present day and the era when the Art of Equalization was created, thereby causing these strange hiccups.
Perhaps the problem would be resolved if they were to change to a hundred mark system.
However...
It did not matter!
His score was now stable at three points!
Furthermore, Lu Ming was thrilled that he could finally calculate the average score now that his talent was stabilized at three points!
He could formally cast the Art of Equalization now!
Hence...
Lu Ming rehired the disciples to the association. Afterward, he was stunned when he sensed certain things entering and leaving his body...
That kind of feeling...
“Wow!”
Xiao-Xiaojian was astonished. “What intense energy!”
Buzz—
Buzz—
Lights danced.
A man and a card felt somewhat dazed.
Finally, they understood why it was that easy for other people to break through and why other people’s cultivation speed was that fast...
Sob!
It turned out that this was the feeling of having a high cultivation speed?!
Right then.
With the disciples’ return, the dynamic talent of the Sword Card Master Association had been increasing constantly and had already reached eight to nine points, integrating perfectly!
However...
In the end, when Lu Ming rehired Xiaobai...
Shush!
Lights and shadows flashed.
The talent score of nine points suddenly leaped to the peak in one go!
Bang!
There was a flash of light!
The average talent of the Sword Card Master Association had surged to 10 points!!!
Lu Ming was taken aback.
Xiao-Xiaojian was shocked.
Right then...
They could clearly sense that the energy flow coming in and out of their body was no longer the size of a grain of sand but a thick and long energy light pillar!
Bang!
Bang!
Energy surged.
Lu Ming could clearly see his energy increasing at a speed that was visible to the naked eye...
What the hell is this?
The man and the card were shocked!
She was being serious about it,
“Xiaobai... What kind of talent does Xiaobai have?”
Xiao-Xiaojian could not believe it.
The average talent score barely stabilized at nine after Lu Ming included all the disciples. Xiaobai alone increased the average talent score to 10 points! This was akin to topping up the standard of the entire association to its peak!!! What kind of demonic talent did the young lady possess?!
Bang!
Bang!
The energy light pillar surged!
Right then...
Everyone from the Sword Card Master Association could feel this strange situation clearly. Their cultivation speed seemed to have increased tremendously in that instant.
In particular, Zhao Yunshan and the group were very sensitive to this.
As the main sponsor of the Sword Card Master Association, Zhao Yunshan was a classic case of a cultivator with average talent. However, at this moment, he could clearly sense the energy fluctuation.
That feeling...
It was the same feeling when his father last found a seven-star cultivator to aid him in his cultivation!
It was a pity...
That seven-star was too arrogant.
He merely did that to repay his father’s favor...
Anyway.
He was experiencing the same feeling again!
“Haoran.
“What is happening?”
Zhao Yunshan and the group asked Li Haoran immediately.
“It’s okay.”
Li Haoran replied, “Master is testing something. No need to worry.”
“Testing...”
The disciples were astounded.
This...
This is actually a test?!
“Understood.”
Zhao Yunshan and the group understood.
Since Master was the one who caused this, it was nothing strange. After joining the Sword Card Master Association for so long, they were long used to Master’s omnipotence!
Master...
Zhao Yunshan tightened both his fists and tears filled his eyes.
During the beasts tide, Master stood in front of everyone else and shielded them from the storm.
He knew that their cultivation speed was slow and diligently increased the cultivation speed for the disciples. Where could they find such a Master?!
Master, I, Zhao Yunshan will never let you down in my life!
...
“Master is amazing!”
Yan Suqi and the group were thrilled.
True enough, Master had increased their well-being again!
However...
The new disciples were puzzled.
It turned out that... The president was testing something earlier when he dismissed and rehired them... However...
What exactly was he testing?!
They did not know.
After joining the Sword Card Master Association for a long time, they self-professed that they had a deep understanding of their president. Good looking and talented, he invented many abilities and was very approachable. However, it was only until this moment that they realized what Lu Ming’s inventions meant!
Bang!
Bang!
Energy surged.
The disciples could not help but groan softly.
That feeling...
It was too awesome!!!
It was that kind of feeling where... You feel very great all of a sudden...
Do you get it?
...
Right then...
The entire Sword Card Master Association was immersed in that good feeling.
They did not know what the president was testing but since it was the president’s doing, it was not a cause for concern. They just had to enjoy the benefits!
“This must be a reward that the president has prepared for us!”
“Cultivation speed! I wonder how long this situation will last... Since the president is giving us a reward, we have to enjoy it! Understand?”
“Yes!”
The disciples looked austere.
Shush!
Shush!
Everyone was cultivating diligently. Their eyes were filled with feelings of reverence and admiration that emerged from the bottom of their hearts.
The president... is truly a legendary figure!
Which ordinary cultivator did not look old and frail when they reached this level? President Lu Ming was the only one who had both the looks and ability. He even led them to work hard together!
Where else could they find this kind of president?!
Hence...
The disciples cultivated even more diligently.
...
Right then...
They were unaware of something.
Their legendary president was filled with worries.
The talent had reached its peak!
This was a good thing!
However...
This was completely different from what Lu Ming had imagined. Eventually, it was topped up by Xiaobai!!! She increased the talents of everyone from the association all at once!
This meant that...
Xiaobai had equalized?
Xiaobai’s talent had been reduced?!
In that case...
“Xiaobai.”
Lu Ming specially called Xiaobai to his room.
“Yes.”
Xiaobai ran over happily.
“Is your cultivation doing alright?”
Lu Ming asked worriedly.
“It’s not too bad.”
Xiaobai felt somewhat puzzled.
Why is Master asking about this?
“Did you see the energy light pillar when you were cultivating?”
Lu Ming suddenly asked.
“No.”
Xiaobai was baffled.
Lu Ming’s heart sank.
This was bad.
Even the energy light pillar was gone!
Xiaobai had been affected! Furthermore, the most terrifying thing was that once the Art of Equalization was cast, it was irreversible!
Damn it!
How could this have happened!?
Clearly, he had made countless preparations!
It seemed that...
He could only shield himself.
Lu Ming sighed.
He also loved the feeling of the tremendous increase in his talent and energy but he did not want it to affect other people, especially Xiaobai!
However...
Just at this moment...
Puzzled, Xiaobai asked, “Master, what is an energy light pillar?”
Lu Ming was speechless.
A question mark popped up in his mind.
The energy light pillar was a phenomenon which occurred when rapid cultivation speed resulted in a high level of energy condensation. This meant lighting speed cultivation!
This was what Lu Ming had just found out!
The problem was...
How was it possible that Xiaobai had no idea about energy light pillars?!
She should have been sensing them all along!
“You don’t feel it at all?”
Lu Ming looked solemn.
“Yes.”
Xiaobai nodded.
“Not even in the past?”
“No.”
Xiaobai felt somewhat unsettled.
Is this energy light pillar a necessity?
What is it...
Xiaobai felt that this was beyond her knowledge.
As a genius, she had always known everything. Unexpectedly, she did not know about this energy light pillar. It seemed that... this was related to cultivation?
Well...
She had to find out more about this!
Whenever she encountered something that she did not know, she would research, learn and then note it down. It was the same for extra-curricular knowledge. Cultivation was the only thing that she had less understanding of because she had never encountered any cultivation problems...
Not even once.
“In that case...”
Lu Ming pondered for a moment. “Carefully sense the surroundings and tell me if your cultivation speed feels any different from before.”
“Okay,” Xiaobai replied obediently.
Afterward, she diligently sensed the surrounding and her cultivation speed. It did not seem any different from before.
“Nothing’s changed,” Xiaobai said.
“No?”
Lu Ming felt even more puzzled. “In that case, can you sense the surrounding energy’s density? Well... If it’s not a light pillar, how does it feel?”
“It feels like...”
After sensing and pondering for a moment, Xiaobai said gingerly, “Like an ocean?”
Lu Ming was speechless.
Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.
O-ocean?!
Bang!
At that moment
They seemed to have felt energy collecting like ocean waves, engulfing heaven and earth and filling every nook and cranny of the world while Xiaobai was cultivating.
It was only until this moment that they were finally enlightened.
Oh.
Damn it. Even if both people had a full score, there was a difference in their talents...
O(╥_╥)o
...
However...
In that case, Xiaobai’s talent did not seem to be affected much.
With a deep master-and-disciple feeling and a responsible attitude, Lu Ming still decided to use deduction to help Xiaobai confirm this.
“Xiaobai, come. Lie down and relax your body,” Lu Ming said.
“Huh?”
Xiaobai’s tiny face blushed. “Relax what?”
Lu Ming was speechless.
Xiaobai was silent.
After a long time...
Lu Ming sighed. “Did you read the books under my bed?”
“Just a little.”
Xiaobai lowered her head, her voice as soft and weak as a mosquito.
Lu Ming was speechless.
A—alright.
Who told Little Lu Ming to be a teenager during puberty?
“Relax. I’m asking Xiao-Xiaojian to help you make some deductions.”
Lu Ming sighed. “Xiao-Xiaojian is too useless. If your vigilance level is too high, its deduction will be badly affected. Relax more.”
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Xiao-Xiaojian protested furiously but unfortunately, everyone ignored it.
“Yes.”
Xiaobai lowered her head.
Buzz—
Xiao-Xiaojian began to deduce.
Xiao-Xiaobai appeared and kept a tight watch on it.
After a long time...
The deductions were completed.
They had predicted correctly. Xiaobai’s talent was too shocking. The Art of Equalization this time did not affect Xiaobai at all! Their talents had been increased!
However...
That was only for now.
If these disciples were to drag them down again, Xiaobai’s talent would be affected.
“Fortunately, fortunately.”
Lu Ming felt extremely thankful.
This was Xiaobai, indeed!
Look.
She was not affected despite increasing everyone’s talent that much.
It was great!
Xiao-Xiaojian felt very puzzled. “Perhaps it’s because all of you are too useless?”
Bam!
Lu Ming trampled Xiao-Xiaojian beneath his feet.
Damn it! You’re too talkative!
“Master, are you alright?”
Xiaobai blinked her big eyes.
“Yes.”
Lu Ming heaved continuous sighs.
If he had known that Xiaobai had such astounding talent, he would not have felt that vexed?! He could simply cast the Art of Equalization and would not have wasted that much time!
“How is that possible?”
Xiao-Xiaojian snorted with contempt. “If you had cast the Art of Equalization with your original talent, I’m afraid you would have dragged Xiaobai down to below 10 points... If not for the fact that those 32 spies have helped you in the equalization, the entire association was going to be dead meat.”
Lu Ming was silent.
He twisted his right foot, which was on the Original Card, twice and hard.
Damn it! You’re too talkative!
Well...
No matter what, the problem had been resolved!
The entire association had improved by leaps and bounds and Xiaobai had not been affected. However, considering Xiaobai’s talent and the future possibilities...
After pondering, Lu Ming decided to dismiss Xiaobai from the association!
There was no choice.
If another so-called disciple with a talent score of nine were to join them, Xiaobai’s talent would be affected adversely!
In fact, after Xiaobai was included in the Art of Equalization’s dynamic talent, anyone else’s joining would equalize Xiaobai’s talent!
They would have a share of Xiaobai’s talent!
Who could tolerate that?!
She was not impacted now but it did not mean that she would not be in the future.
Therefore, Lu Ming was very decisive in dismissing Xiaobai from the association!
Well...
The list of people under evaluation was not counted as part of the association, right? Since that was the case, after pondering about it, he told Li Haoran to create a new association evaluation list 2.
“Haoran, put Xiaobai’s name in that list,” Lu Ming said. f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎
“Okay.”
Li Haoran made arrangements for this accordingly.
“This is specially for Xiaobai. No one is allowed to be in the same list. Understand?”
Lu Ming instructed.
“Understood.”
Li Haoran’s heart skipped a beat.
Oo...
Specially for Xiaobai?
If that is the case...
Hehe.
Li Haoran cast a deep and profound gaze at his master. “Don’t worry, Master. I understand.”
Lu Ming broke out in a sweat. What do you understand?
...
Right then...
Xiaobai, who was at the spirit body department currently, saw her name disappearing from the association list. She had been dismissed by Lu Ming again.
Titles such as the head of spirit body department, association disciple and so on... All of this was gone.
Of course.
For a conventional cultivator, this meant that...
They didn’t belong to the association anymore. They also wouldn’t be protected by the laws of the association regulatory committee. This was a very terrifying event!
Nevertheless, to Xiaobai...
This meant that she could look for Master again.
Hence...
Xiaobai went to Lu Ming’s room happily again. “Master, are you testing again?”
“Yes.”
Lu Ming rubbed the girl’s head.
Well...
How should he say it?
Just as he was pondering about how to explain to Xiaobai, Xiaobai glanced at the department that she was listed in and blushed with embarrassment. She then kicked Lu Ming.
“Master, you’re so annoying!”
Upon finishing her words...
Xiaobai hopped away.
Lu Ming was dumbstruck.
What was happening?
Afterward...
He instinctively took a glance at the association list and was stunned.
This was because at this moment, the name of the newly created list for the purpose of exclusion from the Art of Equalization had been changed. It was still under the pending evaluation system but the name had been changed to... Family members of the president...
Jiang Yuebai was the only name on this list.
...
