Chapter 251: The Card Spirit from Another Family
Qing Ming City.
In the shop.
Lu Ming laid on the rocking chair, lazily basking in the sun.
His body would always be fatigued after rigorous combat. After such battles, he had to rest well and recover from the overexertion. He would then emerge stronger.
The exchange match had ended!
Lu Ming was very satisfied with the outcome of this exchange match.
First of all.
He had finally become a powerful backer in the eyes of his disciples!
He was formidable support for them!
Henceforth, Sword Card Mastersâ words would carry more weight!
Not bad!
Secondly.
This was the first time that he successfully completed seven sealings in a fight, and counter-attacked on the spot! It was of great significance to him!
This was the legendary Murong skill in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils [1.Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils is a famous wuxia novel by Jin Yong (Louis Cha)!]
Giving someone a dose of his own medicine!
It was super dashing!
Cough.
Although he remembered this only after watching Xiaobaiâs move, this point was enough to prove that he was a quick-witted and smart personâŠ
FinallyâŠ
Xiaobai.
Lu Ming allowed her to participate in the fight as he was worried that she was idling too much.
In the endâŠ
She thoroughly defeated another college.
WellâŠ
Very well.
From sealing the ability to counter-attacking via materialization, she was super amazing! She was indeed his disciple!
EhâŠ
Wait a minute.
Lu Ming suddenly thought of something.
âXiaobai,â Lu Ming turned around and called.
âYes,â Xiaobai replied in the shop.
âWhen did you learn materialization?â
Lu Ming found it odd.
Xiaobai had just reached three-star!
A few days before she went to Zi Yang Combat College, she had just attained the three-star level. How could she possibly materialize?! Was this not the basic requirement of a breakthrough to four-star?
BesidesâŠ
He had not taught her this before.
âItâs in the school textbooks.
âI have a lot of teaching materials here,â Xiaobai said,
She pointed to a corner of the room.
Oh.
Over thereâŠ
They were the teaching materials that Lu Ming bought beforehand because he wanted reimbursements from Old Jiang⊠Ah spat! It was for the sake of better educating XiaobaiâŠ
He bought a pile of teaching materials and asked Xiaobai to read them.
AfterwardâŠ
Xiaobai understood them.
Lu Ming was silent for a long time.
This numbskull.
Materialization could just be picked up through reading?!
Although Sword Card Master cards were extremely sturdy and easy to materialize, this relied on the fact that the person was a three-star! Xiaobai had just attained three-star, right?!
Her energy quality was only at the beginner three-star level!
Such materializationâŠ
âHow many times did you try it?â Lu Ming asked in a low voice.
He suddenly felt that this was very important.
IfâŠ
If the Sword Card Master could really materialize earlier than others because of card solidification, that would imply that the Sword Card Master would be unequaled amongst their cohort once they were a beginner three-star!
This was truly amazing!
âI didnât.â
Xiaobai said embarrassingly, âI used it for the first time during the fightâŠâ
Lu Ming was speechless.
Oh.
It turns out that she had not tried it before?
HahahahaâŠ
Damn, this innate talent!
Forget it.
He would let Li Haoran settle this.
Currently, the rest of the Sword Card Masters were at least peak three-stars. They didnât even have the materials for experimenting with⊠Therefore, he did not bother about it anymore after sending a message to Li Haoran.
AfterwardâŠ
âWhat about the sealing during the combat?â Lu Ming asked.
He also did not teach Xiaobai this.
âIt was also the first time.â
Xiaobaiâs face was blushing.
After allâŠ
She picked this up when she secretly watched her master practice. Normally this could not be considered learning without permission. Nevertheless, her master would probably not blame her for doing so.
Lu Ming was expressionless.
First timeâŠ
Damn!
He had tried it umpteen times but did not succeed!
Even if he were to do the sealing now, he might not succeed too!
The success of the seven sealings in his earlier combat was because of Cloud Slash! He could succeed only because it was Cloud Slash. Aside from that, for other abilitiesâŠ
It was impossible!
But Xiaobai?
She could seal a fiery dragon the first time she faced it in combat!
How could that be possible?!
âCome. Xiaobai.
âTell Master. How did you manage to deduce the speed, angles, and calculations?â
Lu Ming suddenly called Xiaobai over.
âI donât know.â
Xiaobai was somewhat embarrassed. âI tried to calculate them. Although I can calculate things correctly, during the combat, there was too little reaction time after my opponent attacked!
âI couldnât catch up!
âSo⊠I didnât bother to do so anymore.â Xiaobaiâs voice was getting softer and softer.
Obviously, she was feeling somewhat embarrassedâŠ
âDidnât bother anymore?â
Lu Ming was stunned.
Could it work if she did not bother about it?
âYes.â
Xiaobai was blushing. âXiao-Xiaobai was the one who managed to do it.â
âDamn!â
Lu Ming was shocked. âXiao-Xiaobai?!â
âHow annoying!â
Xiaobai glared at Lu Ming. âMaster, donât be mean!â
âOkay, okay, okay.â
Lu Ming did not know whether to laugh or cry. âTell me, how did Xiao-Xiaobai handle it?â
Xiaobai looked embarrassed.
She knew that this was a form of laziness and cheating!
After allâŠ
Master was super amazing. He performed a total of seven sealings, which was tantamount to seven deductions!
As for her?
She could only seal once and needed one deduction. And she had to rely on Xiao-Xiaobai to complete it. Therefore, she felt very ashamed to say thisâŠ
Aye, it was too embarrassing.
It would be great if she was as formidable as her master.
âWellâŠâ
Embarrassed, Xiaobai lowered her head and clutched the corner of her clothes. âDoesnât Xiao-Xiaobai cultivate everyday? I saw that it felt bored cultivating sometimes, so I told it to read some booksâŠâ
âHuh?â
Lu Ming was dumbstruck.
The Original CardâŠ
Read?
Shush!
He suddenly turned his gaze to the corner.
Xiao-Xiaobai was carrying a row of custom-made bricks and exercising, moving up and down. Before it was a book that was also moving up and down and exercising in tandem with it.
The name of the bookâŠ
WellâŠ
âIntroduction to Algebraic Topology!â
âŠ
Lu Ming was taken aback.
Damn. T-this works as well?
âŠ
Puff!
Puff!
Xiao-Xiaobai was diligently cultivating.
Every time it moved up and down once, the book would also flip by one page. The Original Card could read the book through its sense of perception. Its thinking ability was different from that of humans. It seemed to be faster and stronger.
By its side were two buckets of booksâŠ
Lu Ming took a glance.
WellâŠ
âComplex Variablesâ, âModern Geometric Methods and Applicationsâ, âWeakly Differentiable Functions ââŠ
âŠ
Lu Ming was silent.
âS-orry.â
Xiaobai was feeling ashamed.
It seemed that she had angered her master by cheating today.
âItâs okay.â
Lu Ming touched her little head.
Hum!
Xiaobai nudged in Lu Mingâs arms.
âXiaobai,â
âYes.â
âWhy did you let Xiao-Xiaobai read suddenly?â
Lu Ming was curious.
âIt was very bored cultivating all the time.â
Xiaobai pondered for a moment. âI just wanted to find something for it to do. I happened to be reading at that moment. Therefore, I threw a book to it in passing.. I didnât expect it to learn faster than meâŠâ
âOh.â
Lu Ming understood now.
Hahaha.
As everyone knows, oneâs reading efficiency increases when boredâŠ
As if! Damn! Who wants to hold a book and read it when they feel bored?!
I felt very bored when attending my classes!
However, everyone would rather count the number of strands of hair on the teacherâs head than to read booksâŠ
âIt loves to read very much,â Xiaobai answered.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Xiao-Xiaobai was glowing fervently.
It really loved these books.
It felt thatâŠ
They were very interesting.
Lu Ming was expressionless.
This was Xiaobaiâs Original Card, indeed!
SuddenlyâŠ
His eyes narrowed and he glanced at Xiao-Xiaojian, which was glowing in the other corner of the room.
Xiao-Xiaojian, who was cultivating, could acutely sense a gaze full of murderous intent sweeping across it. Instinctively, it saw the scorching look in Lu Mingâs eyes.
Oh no!
He instantly wanted to return to the Sea of Consciousness to hideâŠ
âCome over here!â
Lu Ming grabbed it and gave it a round of bashings.
âGood-for-nothing!
âWhat is the use of having you!
âLook at other peopleâs Original Card!
âLook at Xiao-Xiaobai!
âYouâre a dignified ancient sword spiritâŠ
âSword spirit, what crap!
âYou donât even know complex variables, how are you qualified to call yourself an ancient sword spirit?!â
âŠ
Crash!
Crash!
Xiao-Xiaojian was dazed from the beating.
Whatâs happening?
Damn!
Who did I provoke?!
AndâŠ
Damn, what are complex variables?
It seemed to have seen them before?
Oh.
It suddenly rememberedâŠ
It looked at the collection of books at the corner beside Xiao-Xiaobai and instantly felt wronged.
When yours truly dominated the world, there was no algebra or physics yet!
Damn! Go and find a sword spirit who knows complex variables?!
Damn!
âŠ
âCome on!â
Lu Ming threw a pile of books at it. âFrom today onwards, you will learn them too.â
Xiao-Xiaojian looked aggrieved.
It was a dignified ancient sword spirit!
Who actually had to begin to learn mathematics?!
Why was he such a bully?
Yours truly would rather kill in combat and fight with people than to hold a book like Xiao-Xiaobai and read it while exercisingâŠ
This is too stupid!
Cut the crap!
âRead!â
Lu Ming forced it to learn.
HoweverâŠ
The disappointing thing was, it could not remember the information at allâŠ
He attempted a test. For the same test, Xiao-Xiaobai scored one hundred but Xiao-Xiaojian merely scored twentyâŠ
Furthermore, this was a multiple choice test!
âWhatâs the use of having you?!â
Lu Ming sighed deeply.
HoweverâŠ
He did not know that Xiao-Xiaojian felt even worse!
What kind of rogue master was he?!
It was true.
Since the ancient times, he had never heard that sword spirits had to do testsâŠ
He was too much of a bully!
âŠ
âXiao-Xiaojian is so stupid.â
Xiaobai also furrowed her little brows.
Snort!
This sword spirit was too dumb and a burden to master!
Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.
It was so furious!
Even the adorable Xiaobai did not put in any good words for it anymore!
What could it do?
It had experienced many millennia and its memory was filled with too many things. When learning, it would recall many things and could not calm down and concentrate on studying.
It was true.
Find a five or six-year-old and get them to learn calculus from scratch. Check out if they or a high school student pick up the knowledge faster?
Could they be compared in this way?!
Although Xiao-Xiaobai was childish, it was like a sheet of blank paper!
âŠ
âOhâŠâ
Lu Ming pondered deeply for a moment.
WellâŠ
So, it only worked for a spirit body born naturally like Xiao-Xiaobai?!
âWait a minute.â
Lu Ming pondered for a moment and sent the test that he created to his two disciples, Li Haoran and Xiaoyan. âGet your sword spirit to do this test and collect the scores.â
He provided two sets of materials.
One of them was the reference materials they had to read through before attempting the test questions. The other set was the test.
âOkay.â
Although Li Haoran and Xiaoyan did not know what was happening, they executed the instructions seriously.
Xiao-Xiaoshé was speechless.
Xiao-Xiaolei was at a loss for words.
They had never heard that spirit bodies had to do tests!
HoweverâŠ
This was their mastersâ orders and they could only execute them accordingly.
AfterwardâŠ
Xiao-Xiaolei, ninety-eight marks.
It was only slightly inferior to Xiao-Xiaobai. Only one-fill-in-the-blank question was not correct. Outstanding!
Xiao-Xiaoshé, ninety marks.
Although it did not answer that well, it got ninety marks in one glance. That was already very outstanding. At the very least, it was much stronger than humans!
FurthermoreâŠ
They were both spirit bodies born in the wilderness!
Shush!
Lu Mingâs gaze turned to Xiao-Xiaojian again.
Damn it.
Why is it that others could attain a hundred marks, ninety-eight marks, and ninety marks but you only scored twenty marks! Was this the legendary card spirit from another family?
Crash!
Crash!
Crash!
He held onto Xiao-Xiaojian and gave it a round of beatings.
âŠ
What else could Xiao-Xiaojian say?
It was super ashamed, okay!
âWhy did he have to do the test?â
It did not understand.
âGood mastery of mathematics, physics, and chemistry is the key to success. Have you heard of this before?â
Lu Ming expected something better. âA qualified card spirit has to be well-educated and knowledgeable. This is the only way that it can unleash its combat power to the maximumâŠâ
It was true.
He really envied Xiaobaiâs Original Card!
Look, forget that the card spirit was born from the Original Card, it was so keen to learnâŠ
It knew everything!
It was a different species from this salted fish of his who could only score twenty marks in mathematics!
âJust this?â
Xiao-Xiaojian had a âWhat the crapâ expression.
âI can also do that while Iâm combating!â
âCan you?â
Lu Ming had a dazed expression immediately.
âYes.â
Xiao-Xiaojian also wore a dumbstruck expression. âAlthough I canât figure out weakly differentiable functions, complex variables, topology and so on, I have a wealth of combat experienceâŠâ
Lu Ming was shocked. âThen sealing during a combatâŠâ
âWhat Xiao-Xiaobai did?â
Xiao-Xiaojian remembered that. âI can do that! Isnât it just sealing a dragon? I can do that easily. Why do we need mathematics? I can do it based on my instincts!
âIâm a peerless sword spirit!
âMy five senses and sixth sense are top-notch!
âIâll just seal it directly!
âWhy is there a need to calculate?!â
âŠ
Lu Ming was silent.
Oh.
It turned out that his card spirit could also do that?!
âI thought that it was something else!â
Xiao-Xiaojian was instantly in high spirits. It said domineeringly, âIf itâs a small matter such as sealing during combat, just leave it to me. Iâll do it for you in minutes!â
With thatâŠ
It puffed its chest proudly.
Praise me!
Quick!
Praise me!
You didnât know that I could be that amazing, right? Hahahaha!
Lu Ming looked around.
SuddenlyâŠ
He held onto Xiao-Xiaojian and gave it a round of bashings.
âWhy didnât you say so earlier?!
âWhat were you doing when I was fighting for my life?!
âI almost failed yesterday. Donât you know that?â
Crash!
Crash!
Crash!
Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.
H-how did I know that you wanted to seal?!
You didnât mention anything!
Furthermore, I was a sword spirit not a card spirit in the past!
HenceâŠ
It could only glow at Xiaobai to seek help.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
âŠ
âMaster, master⊠What are we going to eat for lunch?â
Xiaobai asked.
Humph!
Lu Ming then stopped bashing the Original Card. It glared at it harshly. He would deal with this chap later. He knew that this Original Card had hidden many good things!
He was once a sword spiritâŠ
Hahahaha.
How can these be the only things that it knows!
It seems that giving it more bashings will benefit him!
WellâŠ
As for what to eatâŠ
Lu Ming glanced at Xiaobai. He asked after pondering for a moment, âCough, do you still remember how to cook the stewed vegetables with papaya that we ate the last time?â
âOkay.â
âLetâs eat that again.â
âOkay.â
âAt the same time⊠Letâs go and buy some papaya juice, papaya fried vegetables and papaya milkâŠâ
