Divine Card Creator

Chapter 148: This Dingus Could Also Become That Smart?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The First Academy.

Lu Ming’s expression was gloomy.

In theory, he should feel happy to receive the shares of the legendary cultivation island. However, he was not sure why but he felt somewhat upset at heart.

Really.

What did that dean mean?

Did he look down on him?!

He readily accepted Wang Xuan into the school. Why did it become so troublesome when it came to him?

His sister put up a personal request. She even had the backing of Qiu Shuyi, her master, in order to admit him into the school!

They had gone to great lengths.

But, the outcome?

If The First Academy really were to give up the shares...

It meant that The First Academy would rather hand out five percent of the shares of the new cultivation place and offend Lu Yan and Qiu Shuyi than to accept Lu Ming!

Did they look down on him that much?

Lu Ming was breaking down a little emotionally.

“I’ll go and find out more.”

Lu Yan also felt that something did not seem right.

Could it be that...

He had unintentionally offended someone?

Hence, she specially made a trip to understand the situation. She came back with a strange expression.

“What’s the matter?”

Lu Ming’s heart flipped.

Lu Yan was silent for a moment before saying, “They found out briefly what happened at the Lunar Shadow legacy. In the end, their conclusion is...”

Lu Yan paused for a moment. “Destructive ability is too strong and not recommended for special admission.”

“Huh?”

Lu Ming was dumbstruck.

D-destructive ability was too strong?

He was only a two-star Card Creator, alright!

“And the things that happened during those few days.”

A smile emerged on Lu Yan’s face. “They unanimously agreed that, for the sake of the safety of the academy and the students, it’s better to not accept you into the school for the time being...”

Lu Ming was speechless.

Academy safety?

Student safety?

What did this mean?

Was he, Lu Ming, that kind of person?!

If the situation was not that dangerous, who would demolish the island for no reason? Furthermore, he was not the only one who did that! What happened afterward was obviously Gao Xiaoqing’s doing!

Wrong!

His sister also did that!

After he demolished the island, it was still around, okay!

It was a pity...

No one believed him.

“This is much better than you entering the school.”

On the contrary, Lu Yan was very satisfied.

Although there were very little shares, it was sufficient for her younger brother to lead a future life free of worries. If anything were to happen to her one day, her brother would also have enough resources to cultivate!

As for the education at The First Academy...

It did not matter that much to her.

Her brother could learn all these things in Qing Ming City and trample the Swordsmen. It was quite good to let him remain in Qing Ming City too. At the very least, it was safer.

Furthermore, she was very satisfied with Lu Ming’s performance during the legacy. He was truly much better than before. He was way more responsible and manly now.

Aside from affairs of the heart, or perhaps...

His sexual orientation.

Regarding this, she would take it slowly.

“You can stay in Tian Du City and have fun for a few more days,” Lu Yan said, “I still have some matters to settle. I may have to leave first.”

“You’re going away?”

Lu Ming was stunned.

“Yes.”

Lu Yan smiled. “Your mission has ended and my mission is going to begin.”

Beside her, Qiu Shuyi had been waiting for a long time.

Lu Yan then understood that Qiu Shuyi came this time not only to save them but also to bring Lu Yan away.

Yes.

Lu Yan could not possibly keep him company all the time. She also had her own matters to handle!

“I hope that when we meet the next time, you will already have someone that you like.”

Lu Yan rubbed Lu Ming’s head and uttered in her heart, “Best if it’s a woman.”

Lu Ming blushed in embarrassment.

In the evening.

Lu Yan had left.

Initially, Lu Ming wanted to remain here and cultivate for a while more. However, from the classes to the library, he had been banned from entry. He then remembered something —

His visiting student rights had been removed.

There was no choice.

Lu Ming could only return to the dormitory to rest, only to discover someone lying on his bed. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. She was in an alluring posture and glancing at him with misty and tender loving eyes...

Li Tiantian!

Lu Ming gave a deep sigh.

“Come on,” Li Tiantian said in a gentle voice.

Hehe.

Lu Ming sneered coldly.

Swindler!

He could not fall into the trap!

If he were to really lunge over, this lady would most probably give him a beating... Obviously, it was because she did not succeed in her charm earlier. Now, she was attacking him like he was the boss (In video games, a boss is a significant computer-controlled enemy) ?

Why did she have to do that?

Lu Ming felt somewhat melancholic.

Lu Ming really could not fall sleep with this lady around,

Hence...

He simply took his luggage and left.

“Humph!”

Li Tiantian wrinkled her little nose and lifted her chest high. She looked in the mirror. Clearly, she was very pretty! Damn gays like you don’t know how to appreciate me!

Snort!

...

At night.

Lu Ming returned to Qing Ming City alone.

Cold winds were howling gently.

After returning, Lu Ming actually felt that he had been away for ages.

Yes.

Finally...

He was back.

Because of his sister, he went on a journey of legacy.

However...

This place was reality.

Regardless of how Wu Hongfei, Gao Tianlang and the rest performed during the legacy, they were five-star Swordsmen! They far exceeded him and were also powerful characters who would skip a level in combat!

He was still very weak.

He was just a pseudo three-star peak.

Did The First Academy really reject him due to his so-called destructive ability?

Of course, this was one of the reasons.

But not the only one.

Lu Ming did not know how the meeting went but undoubtedly, his age, cultivation, and talent were very important deciding factors!

It was highly possible that the other party felt that this destructive ability did not correspond with the talent that he had displayed!

This was the most important reason.

It was a pity...

Nobody knew.

That most precious Lunar Shadow legacy was with Lu Ming!

“Today, you... Tomorrow, you... How do I say that?” (Today, you give me cold shoulders. Tomorrow, you will be out of my league.)

Lu Ming thought about it.

Given his unique circumstances now, it was really not suitable for him to cultivate in the school. It would already be difficult for him to explain the numerous mutations of his Original Card. He might as well study and research on his own!

Forget it.

Why should he feel angry?

Was he that petty?

They looked down on him, right? It was not worth simmering over it. He would just demolish the school in the future.

...

It was very late at night.

Lu Ming was walking in the dark under the dim streetlights.

“The weather has turned cold.”

Lu Ming went back to the shop.

He was somewhat surprised to find the inside of the shop faintly lit.

Eh?

Lu Ming opened the door and was shocked to discover a small figure in the bedroom!

This girl...

“Master?”

Xiaobai was sleepy-eyed.

“Why are you here?”

Lu Ming walked over and touched her little head.

“Hum.”

Xiaobai hugged Lu Ming and spoke in a daze, “I guessed that master will be back during these two days, so I came back to the shop earlier...”

“Where is your dad?”

Lu Ming frowned slightly.

Was Old Jiang, this guy, mad? He actually allowed Xiaobai to stay here alone overnight!

“I don’t know.”

Xiaobai shook her head. “He hasn’t been back for a few days.”

Lu Ming was speechless.

He had said so. If Jiang Feng was around, he definitely would not let Xiaobai sleep here.

However, he left his daughter alone. Where did this guy go? He wanted to ask more questions but saw Xiaobai’s drowsy eyes. Obviously, she could not hang on any longer.

This girl...

Lu Ming could not stifle his laughter.

“Be good. Go and sleep first. We will talk again tomorrow.”

He carried Xiaobai back to the room.

“Okay...”

Xiaobai fell asleep in a daze.

Lu Ming did not know whether to laugh or cry. He felt heartwarmed.

After so many days.

Someone was waiting for him when he was back. It felt so good.

However...

Lu Ming’s eyes narrowed. In his impression, given Jiang Feng’s character, he probably would not leave Xiaobai alone, unless...

“Did anything happen again?”

Lu Ming remembered the news in the World of Darkness and Shadows and felt that something was amiss.

Someone was still after this guy’s life?!

Or perhaps...

Lu Ming had a bad premonition.

He called Jiang Feng and there were only endless beeping sounds.

Ring!

Ring!

Just as he thought that this guy was a goner, the call finally went through. On the other side of the phone, he could hear Jiang Feng’s voice and the very familiar... panting sounds.

Lu Ming was speechless.

To hell with it!

Why do I have to be so familiar with this kind of sound?!

“What happened?” Jiang Feng asked.

“I’m back.”

Lu Ming sighed.

“I know.”

Jiang Feng said coldly, “I heard from some of my friends. It’s good that you’re fine. Xiaobai might have gone to your place today. Go and take a look.”

“I just carried her to sleep.”

Lu Ming sighed.

Jiang Feng was speechless.

Why did he feel so uneasy after hearing these words?

“This child has not been obedient recently. Perhaps she’s in her rebellious stage. I’m quite busy. Help me pay more attention to her.”

Jiang Feng sighed.

“She has been very obedient.”

Lu Ming was somewhat surprised.

What did he mean by not obedient? He had not seen a child as obedient as Xiaobai! The adorable, virtuous and obedient Xiaobai who was so attached to him had actually been described as someone undergoing a rebellious stage?

Why did he feel that Jiang Feng was the one in the rebellious stage?

Jiang Feng was not very willing to chat anymore.

Really.

Each word was so heartbreaking.

“When are you coming back?” Lu Ming asked.

However...

Suddenly...

The panting at Jiang Feng’s end became somewhat rapid. He could even hear some deep roars and strange sounds of water. Lu Ming furrowed his brows tightly.

Lu Ming was silent.

Sounds of water?

With such a father, it was no wonder Xiaobai disliked him. This was really... He had a hunch that at the rate that this was going, Jiang Feng might really be a goner one of these days!

“If there is nothing else, I will hang up first.”

Jiang Feng seemed to be busy with something.

“Wait a minute.”

Lu Ming paused for a moment. “Senior Jiang, are you really not considering buying personal accident insurance? You can nominate me or Xiaobai as the beneficiary...”

Bam!

The other side hung up the phone.

“Tsk tsk.

He’s not magnanimous at all.”

Lu Ming pursed his lips.

Shouldn’t he consider his daughter’s future!

It was very late at night.

Lu Ming also went to bed early.

He replenished all the energy that he had lost during the legacy by sleeping till late morning the next day. When he woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.

“Master. It’s time to eat.”

Xiaobai put the rice and dishes that she prepared on the table.

“Okay”

Lu Ming stretched himself and washed up. After taking his meal, he felt a little out of sorts. The life-and-death battle at the Lunar Shadow legacy seemed to have become a thing of the past...

Home is still the best!

“Xiaobai. How’s your cultivation going?”

While having his meal, Lu Ming chatted with Xiaobai.

“It’s still not too bad. Well... I learned lamination from Dad. I can create Leviathan Cards now,” Xiaobai counted with her fingers and said.

“Brilliant!” Lu Ming exclaimed in shock.

It was not that he wanted to boast about Xiaobai’s talent. In the past, he relied on the Original Card and tried umpteen times before he picked it up. Xiaobai actually succeeded in self-studying!

“Yes! Also! Also! I also learned what Master taught me previously – Grow bigger!”

Xiaobai lifted her little chest proudly.

Lu Ming looked bewildered.

What had grown bigger?

He glanced a Xiaobai’s lifted body frame. Well, it did not grow bigger...

“Master, look.”

Xiaobai summoned her Original Card happily.

Well...

Lu Ming took a glance.

Buzz—

Xiaobai’s Original Card was floating in the air before his eyes.

But, afterward?

Lu Ming glanced at Xiaobai in confusion.

“Wait a minute.”

Xiaobai took a deep breath and then spoke to the Original Card seriously, “Original Card, Original Card, you have already grown up. You have to learn how to cultivate yourself now!”

Shush!

A surge of lights and shadows surrounded it.

Lights and shadows were circulating on Xiaobai’s Original Card. It actually began to cultivate!

“Ss——”

Lu Ming gasped as he slurped the Liangpi (Liangpi is a noodle-like Chinese dish made from wheat or rice flour. It is a specialty dish originating from the cuisine of Shaanxi Province but has now spread to many other places in China).

Crap!

This dingus could also become that smart?!
