Chapter 210: The Master Was Of A Different Level!
Qing Ming City.
It was snowing heavily.
The shop downtown was very lively.
After the person that he did not know the name but was very dramatic by kowtowing and kneeling on the floor left, there was finally peace in Lu Mingâs shop.
HoweverâŠ
Lu Ming was faced with a very serious problem now.
This discipleâŠ
Should he agree to it or not?!
The appearance of Yan Suqi was an accident.
He transferred to become a Sword Card Master for no reason and became his disciple. Lu Ming was taken by surprise. Therefore, he had no other choice but to accept him.
This was not because he was adorable and rich.
But it was a different case for Li Haoran.
Li Haoran was serious about taking this path and for the Sword Card Master to become the greatest vocation⊠Crap! Lu Ming had no idea whether they could continue on this path!
This was a new vocation!
This was a vocation with no future!
ThereforeâŠ
He was very hesitant.
It was definitely not because Li Haoran was older and poor.
âŠ
At this momentâŠ
Li Haoran looked solemn. He knelt on the floor, not moving an inch. The teenager in black seemed to sense something. He kept quiet while Xiaobai stood next to Lu Ming obediently.
Right thenâŠ
The shop was as quiet as ever.
Lu Ming was pondering.
It was true.
He remembered.
The vocation of Sword Card MasterâŠ
Back then, this vocation was created merely to shift the responsibility to another person. But right now, it seemed that it was not quite the same. For some unknown reason, it became the dreams of othersâŠ
There was Salted Crispy Chicken and Li HaoranâŠ
âWhy bother?â
Lu Ming sighed. âWhy canât you choose a better dream?â
Sword Card Master was merely the product of improvisationâŠ
It might have existed but at the same time, it did not exist.
Sword Card MasterâŠ
This was a difficult path to take!
âŠ
Li Haoranâs heart sank.
It seemed that he was unsuccessful in becoming Lu Mingâs disciple.
He prided himself on being more gifted than Xiaoyan and Xiaobai. Perhaps he was delayed for too long⊠and therefore he was unsure and perturbed. In the end, he did not expect that he would really fail!
At the thought of this, he felt a bit saddened.
The decision back thenâŠ
It had after all affected him!
Yes.
If he knew it, he would not have remained in Chong Yang City.
âŠ
At this very momentâŠ
Some people who passed by naturally noticed the odd situation in the shop.
After all, this was the downtown area, many outsiders would come here to buy Energy Cards. They were surprised when they noticed that a four-star cultivator knelt down on the floor, wanting his master to accept him as his discipleâŠ
Tsk tsk.
That was incredible.
âWait a minute, isnât that Li Haoran?â
âThe person seems to be Lu Ming.â
âEh?â
Some people recognized Li Haoran.
Since the cities were close to each other, there were many people from Chong Yang City. They did not expect to see Li Haoran asking Lu Ming to be his master.
T-this⊠What was this?
âThey used to have conflict.â
âI have heard of it.â
âHe came here to be his disciple, this is tooâŠâ
âHe is on his knees.â
Everyone whispered to each other.
Li Haoran ignored them.
To him, whatever they said did not matter.
He used to suffer from eighth-grade syndrome (This is typically used to describe early teens who have delusions of grandeur, who so desperately want to stand out that they have convinced themselves they have hidden knowledge or secret powers.) and be stubborn. Since he had realized his mistakes, he would not be bothered by the opinions of others. He only wanted to know if Lu Ming was willing to take him in as his disciple!
âYo. Isnât that the genius, Li Haoran?â He heard a joking voice.
At the doorstep.
A few young people walked over and laughed at the scene in front of them.
âDo you know them?â
Lu Ming looked at Li Haoran.
âYes.â
Li Haoran looked embarrassed. âThey are classmates from my college. I used to be the most talented student in school and I offended many peopleâŠâ
Oh.
Lu Ming understood now.
In the past, Li Haoran was very arrogant, and these people, though indignant, did not dare to say anything. Ever since Li Haoranâs Original Card cracked because of Lu Ming, there were rumors that he was deemed uselessâŠ
These people would naturally not let him go.
âI have not been to college for a long time.â
Li Haoran felt ashamed. âI wanted to ignore these people. I didnât expect that they would be here.â
Oh.
Lu Ming understood what was going on.
âHaha.
We have to come.
Since the invalidated Card Creator can be here, why canât we?â
Those people laughed.
Shush!
With that, they entered the shop.
Lu Ming swept his gaze over them. Very good. Those at the back were three-star peak and the leader had even reached a four-star.
âRight nowâŠ
You are not the only one who is a four-star!â
The person walked to stand next to Li Haoran, looking down at him.
Li Haoran was silent.
âLeave.â
Lu Ming waved his hands indifferently.
He was no longer young.
He had lived two lifetimes, he was very chill about things.
It was true.
Shouldnât one be rash and angry, punching to those people? Unfortunately, Lu Ming was very lazy, he could not be bothered with these young people.
âSure.â
The person smiled. âSince the boss said so, we will naturally leave.â
With thatâŠ
They grabbed Li Haoran and prepared to leave.
âNo?â
The teenager in black sighed. It seemed that he had to interfere.
HoweverâŠ
At this moment.
âWait a minute.â Lu Ming suddenly spoke.
âWhat?â
There was a cold glitter in the personâs eyes. âDoes the boss intend to interfere?â
They knew Lu Mingâs abilities very well.
The School Championship Competition was quite popular and they had seen how Lu Ming wiped out his opponents in the competition. However, that was after all a matchâŠ
This was reality!
In the competition, Card Creators were the only ones who were allowed to use cards!
But in realityâŠ
All of them could use cards!
He was not the only person who had cards!
They had cards as well!
If Lu Ming was intent on being a busybody, he would not mind showing Lu Ming that there were a lot of differences between the so-called arena matches and combat in reality!
âOf course not.â
Lu Ming stretched.
âLi Haoran.â
He looked toward Li Haoran.
âYes.â
Li Haoran looked up.
âIf you want to become my disciple, it will depend on whether you are talented enough.â
Lu Ming said lightly, âToday, I will teach you a move. Watch carefully. It all depends on yourself how much you can learn from this⊠If you donât understandâŠâ
âYes!â
Li Haoran was excited.
Lu Ming⊠Was going to teach him some moves!
Oh my goodness!
His heart throbbed. He must learn them!
If he could not understandâŠ
He would be too ashamed to bring this up in the future.
âWhat do you want?â
The person looked at Lu Ming, feeling wary.
Those around him got ready to defend. They were worried that Lu Ming would be angry and attack them.
âDid you know? The Original Card⊠is a very interesting thing.â
Lu Ming waved his hands.
Buzzâ
The Original Card condensed in his hands.
âTo a Card Creator, it is merely a card, but to usâŠâ Lu Ming said calmly.
Whoosh!
His gaze suddenly focused.
Bang!
There seemed to be a flash of golden lights in his pupils.
He gently raised his hand, the Original Card flashed in his hands, turning into Z-shaped lightning, dissipating in the air, leaving streaks of brilliance, before returning to Lu Mingâs hands.
It only lasted for a moment!
Those people and Li Haoran had yet to react.
Shush!
They could only see the glittering golden lights and the remaining shadow of the Z-shaped lightningâŠ
When they came back to their senses, the Original Card had returned to Lu Ming and nothing seemed to have changed.
Everyone looked confused.
ThisâŠ
What kind of ability was this?
It shone golden lights and disappeared?
âHaha!â
âStop fronting with this ability of yours.â
One of them laughed.
However, he felt a rush of coldness on his head, and he touched his headâŠ
Shush!
His hair fell off his head.
What was happening??!
He was terrified.
At the sight of this, the other people touched their heads and had a frightening discovery. Their hair fell off neatly to the groundâŠ
All of them had their hair shaved!
Their headsâŠ
Felt icy cold.
âHow can that be possibleâŠâ
The leader was shocked.
He felt cold all over.
Damn it!
Lu Ming, this guyâŠ
He trembled. He knew that Lu Ming was powerful. However, he remembered he merely used the cards to attack others during the School Championship Competition. Why was he so powerful?!
The card swept over their scalps, but they felt nothing at all.
IfâŠ
If the cards razed their necksâŠ
The few of them trembled.
âHahaha! So thatâs it!â
Li Haoran suddenly broke into laughter.
He understood!
He understood everything!
So it turned out this was the real meaning of Sword Card Master!
The talk about creating swords-related cardsâŠ
All of that was nonsense!
A Sword Card Master could actually use a card like a swordâŠ
Bang!
The powerful energy around him condensed.
Buzzâ
Buzzâ
Li Haoranâs Original Card floated in the air.
It was full of cracks and one could tell that it had been repaired. It looked like an ugly sight. However, this card emanated a powerful auraâŠ
Lu Ming was too fast. He did not understand his move.
HoweverâŠ
âCome on!â
He charged toward the four-star cultivator that caught hold of him!
Bang!
The Original Card slammed against him!
âGet lost!â
The man retaliated with a punch.
He might not be able to defeat Lu Ming, but he would not lose to him!
Bang!
Terrifying energy shook.
The four-star cultivator was forced to retreat two steps by the tremors of the Original Card!
Everyone was in a frenzy!
T-the Original Card is actually capable of this?!
âHaha!â
Li Haoran suddenly broke into laughter.
True enough!
The tempering of the Original Card was effective!
Although, that was the only effect that he saw right now.
He had made the right choice. Lu Ming created the Sword Card Master and that was definitely the path of the true master! A path that was above all vocations!
The Sword Card Master!
It was invincible among the peers!
âŠ
âMaster, please accept my bow!â
Li Haoran knelt down once again.
He was very grateful.
Lu Ming froze.
Damn!
This fellow could really understand it?!
He felt that it might not be good to reject him outrightly. Therefore, he decided to use the Original Card to make a grand performanceâŠ
WellâŠ
Average people would not be able to understand it.
He could not understand!
He did not expect that Li Haoran could see through the essence of a Sword Card Master at just one glance. He knew to use the Original Card in place of a sword to attack them!
And he defeated them!
âSenior sister.â
Li Haoran served tea to Xiaobai respectfully.
âGood.â
Xiaobai was proud of him.
Not bad. He was slightly more talented than the fool, Xiaoyan.
Alright.
Lu Ming rubbed his head.
What could he do?
âStudy hard then.â
Lu Ming patted him on the shoulder.
âYes.â
Li Haoran was elated.
âŠ
At the doorstep.
The crowd that was watching the fun dispersed.
Li Haoran swept his gaze over them. They seemed to remember the fear of being dominated by Li Haoran back then and they rushed to leaveâŠ
Humph!
Li Haoran merely snorted.
After a long timeâŠ
He got up and left.
The move that Lu Ming taught him was too shocking. The attack had been engraved in his mind. He would go back to reflect and ponder over what he comprehended today.
âDamn, is the Sword Card Master so amazing?â
The teenager in black was shocked as well.
He knew that the Sword Card Master was powerful. But he never expected it to be to this extent! He also did not expect that Lu Ming would be almost as skilled as the hairdresser in the salon!
He was very fast in his attacks!
It was very powerful!
âCan you help me to ask if I can be a Sword Card Master as well?â
The teenager in black was tempted.
âHaha.â
Li Haoran looked at him. âDo you understand cards?â
âI donât know.â
âDo you understand swords?â
âI only know how to be cheap.â
âGet lost!â
Li Haoran sent him away before he pondered hard about what he learned today.
âBody tempering⊠Mental strength⊠Card spiritâŠâ
Li Haoran linked everything that he had learned.
After being a disciple of Lu MIng, everything seemed clear to him.
He was ashamed!
It turned out thatâŠ
The master was of a different level!
HenceâŠ
He reflected on what he learned today and wrote a guideline, uploading it onto the association forum. Of course, only members of the Sword Card Master Association were allowed to read it.
CurrentlyâŠ
The only members were the few of them.
âThe true meaning of a Sword Card MasterâŠâ
âŠ
At this very momentâŠ
In the shop.
Lu Ming was still thinking about what happened just now and he felt upset at the thought of it⊠Xiaobai and Xiaoyan were quite good, but why did he take in Li Haoran?
Although the guy was quite good-lookingâŠ
But after all, his looks could not be compared to his. The average looks of the Sword Card Master Association had dropped because of him.
And he was not young.
âI have to be mindful in the future.â
Lu Ming learned from his lesson. âRemember, in the future, you must not accept disciples who are too oldâŠâ
âOkay.â
Xiaobai made notes seriously.
Compared to XiaoyanâŠ
She paused slightly⊠she was reminded that Xiaoyan was only fourteen years old. Therefore she crossed the sentence and changed it to no one older than her third junior brotherâŠ
At this very momentâŠ
His wristband vibrated.
Lu Ming was somewhat surprised as he looked at the latest article posted on the association forumâThe true meaning of a Sword Card Master.
He opened it and found that there was a detailed description about the true power of the Sword Card Master, and it also praised Lu Ming, saying that he was very formidableâŠ
Even Lu Ming felt like putting his arms akimbo after reading it.
Crap!
I didnât know I was that formidable?!
I didnât know that I was on a different level?!
I didnât know that I was so powerful?!
WellâŠ
Not bad.
Lu Ming suddenly recovered from his senses.
This article could be used as the fifth stage of the Sword Card Master guidelines!
Wait a minute.
This article seemed to be better than hisâŠ
Li Haoran was indeed a genius. He had more experiences and he could make comparisons between a Sword Card Master and other vocations, as well as make the connections between them. The format and content of the article seemed to be more structured and it was perfect. Perhaps he should assign this task to him.
HenceâŠ
Lu Ming immediately contacted Li Haoran.
âMaster,â Li Haoran said respectfully.
âThe article is good. I have thought about it, in the future, you will be responsible for creating the guidelines for the Sword Card Master.â
Lu Ming said in a deep voice, âWriting the article is also a means to practice and have more self-awareness. This is beneficial to you.â
âThank you, Master!â
Li Haoran was excited.
These was the Sword Card Master guidelines. They would be available to everyone in the future.
And yet his Master wanted him to do it!?
It was reallyâŠ
Think about it.
In the future, his Master would impart the skills to him so that he could write the guidelines!
He had absolute trust in him!
AlsoâŠ
He was aware that he could not write everything down!
In the future, there might be more and more Sword Card Masters. Some information might be available to everyone, while some information was only limited to a few seniors. Therefore, the guidelinesâŠ
Li Haoran looked serious.
The more he thought about it the more he appreciated the importance of the guidelines.
âI will finish them with due diligence!â
Li Haoran looked serious.
âOkay.â
Lu Ming smiled faintly.
âŠ
Lu Ming was in a good mood after ending the call.
Hahaha!
He had cleared another load off his shoulder.
He was frightened by Salted Crispy Chickenâs learning speed and he kept chasing after him for more guidelines. Now that he had Li Haoran to deal with it, he felt much more at ease.
WellâŠ
It was perfect!
It was not a bad choice to take in him as his disciple.
Lu Ming was very satisfied. But then again, Xiaoyanâs card spiritâŠ
âXiaoyan.â
Lu Ming called Yan Suqi.
âMaster,â Xiaoyan said respectfully.
âHow did you get your card spirit?â Lu Ming asked.
âI did it according to what senior sister said.â
Xiaoyan was serious.
âOh?â
Lu Mingâs heart skipped a beat.
Damn!
Did this mean that as long as one was sincere, it would certainly happen?!
Was this a joke?!
HoweverâŠ
He could vaguely hear the sound of a ladyâŠ
âAre you having fun with your classmates outside?â
Lu Ming smiled faintly.
Look.
Children nowadays⊠fourteen years oldâŠ
Heh.
âNo.â
Xiaoyan was very truthful. âThat is my elder sister.â
Lu Mingâs hands trembled slightly.
If he was not mistaken, his sister was no joke. After all, back then, Xiaoyan looked at the guidelines of The First Academy and decided to transfer to a Sword Card MasterâŠ
Back then, there was only one requirement: To have an elder sister who was comparable to Lu Yan!
ThereforeâŠ
ThisâŠ
Cough, cough.
âPlease say my greetings to your sister.â
Lu Ming felt extremely guilty.
âYes, Master.â
Xiaoyan was very respectful.
Vaguely.
The sister of Xiaoyan seemed to be saying something. As it was too far away, Lu Ming could not hear it clearly, and he asked for clarifications. âWhat did your elder sister say?â
âNothing much,â
Xiaoyan hurried to say.
âItâs alright. Tell me, I am interested to know your sisterâs perception of me.â Lu Ming asked.
âUhââ
âJust tell me.â
âIn her actual words?â
âYes.â
âUh, my sister said⊠she was afraid that she might not be able to control herself and she might beat you to death.â
Xiaoyan sounded embarrassed.
âHahahaha. Naughty.â
Lu Ming smiled dryly. âXiaoyan, your sister⊠has a heavy accentâŠâ
Xiaoyan was speechless.
