Qing Ming City.

  The city that was once destroyed gradually gained a new look in this new era.

  At this moment……

  A few middle-aged people in western suits accompanied a young man to one area of the construction site, looking respectful. “Senior, can you take a look at the geomancy of this area……”


  “Let me take a look.”


  The young man pondered for a moment. “This place is filled with evil and malicious energy. This must be a piece of ominous and inauspicious land!”


  “Very good!”


  One of the middle-aged men hurriedly gestured to his assistant to come over. “Hurry, the senior has made his evaluation! Get our people to buy this piece of land! This will be our square in the future!”


  The young man was bewildered. “Well, I am saying that this land is ominous and inauspicious……”


  “I know.”


  The person felt very pleased. “With your evaluation, we can rest assured.”


  After a long while……

  The young man left feeling confused.

  He saw that the boss had transferred half a million yuan into his account.

  What was wrong with these people?

  The young man was bewildered. His listless eyes were full of doubts.

  Obviously……

  He could not figure out why those people would buy an ominous place.

  Right then.

  His wristband vibrated. It was a message from his friend. “Old Wu, will you participate in the graduation season?”


  The graduation season……

  Wu Hongfei sobered up.

  Ah.

  It was time to graduate……

  Recently, due to the need to construct new buildings, he disguised himself as a geomancy master and managed to clinch a lot of business deals. He almost forgot about the graduation!

  It was just that graduation……

  “Forget it.”


  Wu Hongfei shook his head, mocking himself. “I will not participate with these abilities of mine.”


  What were the graduation requirements?

  Six-star combat abilities!

  This was for the previous classes, as for the current class……

  Due to the Millennium school anniversary, the actual combat abilities of the standard six-star might be far beyond one’s imagination! If he participated, he might become cannon fodder!

  His friend turned silent for a long while before he asked, “Old Wu…… do you have doubts about your combat abilities?”


  “Huh?”


  Wu Hongfei was at a loss.

  What doubts?

  He was merely a Cleric now!

  Although he had been doing well due to the reconstruction of Qing Ming City and he had a lot of resources, which significantly increased his abilities, he was still a peak four-star!

  He was merely a four-star Cleric. He would be courting death if he participated in the graduation season!

  His friend was silent.

  He finally responded after a long time.

  “Old Wu.

  “Do you remember going to prison last week to treat the prisoners who had to go through reform through labor?” he asked.

  “Yes.”


  Wu Hongfei nodded.

  The prisoners always suffered injuries due to the forced labor that they went through. Average people did not dare to go to prison to treat these prisoners.

  Therefore, the task was eventually assigned to Wu Hongfei.

  Wu Hongfei had just changed his vocation to a Cleric and was hoping to gain more experience, hence he went along with the arrangement. Last week alone, he had treated three major criminal offenders!

  This was his first time being a Cleric!

  It was amazing.

  It was a special experience.

  Especially when the offenders who were seriously wounded recovered under his care and treatment. He was enchanted by the feeling. Perhaps, being a Cleric was his destiny?

  To hell with fights and attacks!

  To hell with challenges and brawls!

  In the future, he would be a good Cleric, one of those who practiced medicine in order to help people!

  “How are they doing?” Wu Hongfei asked.

  “The three of them committed suicide,” the other party said calmly.

  Wu Hongfei was dumbstruck.

  “D-dead?”


  “Yes.”


  The other party sounded gloomy. “What did you give them?”


  “Rain of Blessing.”


  Wu Hongfei pondered for a moment. “This ability has mild healing powers, staying in their bodies, slowly treating them until they fully recover!”


  “Well……

  “According to sources……

  “Before they committed suicide, they said they felt as if million arrows pierced through their hearts. They felt as if their bodies were dismembered. It was a constant torture. They could no longer bear it and they……”


  His friend sighed.

  Wu Hongfei was dumbfounded.

  Torture?

  Dismembering the body?

  Why did things turn out like this?!

  He knew that his therapeutic talent was average and it took him a lot of efforts to learn the abilities and they would not be the same when he applied them. However, he had never had such experiences!

  “What did the person-in-charge of the prison say?”


  Wu Hongfei was in a slight panic.

  He hoped that they would not see this as a murder.

  “So far, this did not pose a problem.”


  The other party sighed. “Although they committed suicide, no matter how they tested them, they did not suffer any injuries except for the Rain of Blessing that you administered……

  “Dead men tell no tales!

  “Their death is an unsolved mystery.

  “However, the prison is suspicious of you and you might be forbidden to stay in Qing Ming City.”


  His friend felt helpless.

  “What should I do?”


  Wu Hongfei was at a loss.

  He did not expect that he would be black-listed by Qing Ming City!

  “Go and participate in the graduation season,” his friend said, “that is your battlefield!”


  “Will I be able to make it?”


  Wu Hongfei looked at his own hands.

  “Believe in yourself.

  “Remember, you are Wu Hongfei…… the Wu Hongfei who killed three major criminal offenders!”
……

  Tian Du City.

  Sword Card Master association.

  Buzz—


  Buzz—


  Faint lights flashed.

  A strange energy churned in a body, converging before it suddenly released all at once with a loud monstrous noise.

  Bang!

  The energy vibrated.

  Lu Ming’s energy had broken through again!

  “Advanced four-star!”


  Lu Ming’s heart skipped a beat.

  Finally……

  It was successful!

  After Xiao-Xiaojian’s and his efforts, his energy had finally broken through to advanced four-star!

  His combat abilities had improved!

  Shush!

  Lu Ming clenched his fists.

  He could feel the surging energy in his body.

  Was this what an advanced four-star felt?

  True enough.

  The feeling of advanced four-star energy was indeed much more powerful than that of an intermediate four-star. When Lu Ming cast abilities that consumed a lot of energy in the future, his energy would be much more stable!

  On-campus job fair……

  They would surely prove themselves!

  Lu Ming had made up his mind.

  Suddenly……

  Swoosh!

  A red light swept outside the window, half of the sky was dyed red.

  Lu Ming looked up. A powerful elder must have arrived in Tian Du City.

  These past two days……

  With the arrival of the graduation season, the geniuses who went out for cultivation had returned, and many seniors and big shots had ended their retreats. Tian Du City suddenly became very active and crowded.

  After all, graduation season was about to start.

  It was a grand, opulent and super-large-scale event! The benefits and rewards would definitely be awesome as well!

  This was a huge benefit for him!

  As long as he could participate in it, it did not matter if he was successful or not. They would receive a lot of resources!

  It was a pity that it had nothing to do with him.

  “It is too bad.”


  Lu Ming was disappointed.

  “Master, don’t be sad……”


  A tender and tiny hand rested on Lu Ming, comforting him. “Master is so much better than them. In a few days’ time, you will be able to take them in as your disciples.”


  “Xiaobai?”


  Lu Ming looked at the little girl that he had not seen for days. “Have you ended your retreat?”


  “Yes.”


  Xiaobai went to stand next to Lu Ming, a happy smile on her face.

  “How was the research?”


  Lu Ming rubbed her head.

  The girl took the initiative to rub him back with her head.

  “It was a success.”


  Xiaobai was very happy.

  “Oh?”


  Lu Ming’s eyes lit up. “What did you discover this time?”


  He never had any doubts about Xiaobai’s intelligence.

  This girl might seem to be idling around like him, however, she was always thinking about new ideas and magical abilities.

  “Master, do I look different?”


  Xiaobai puffed her chest and looked proud of herself.

  “Well……”


  Lu Ming was deep in his thoughts.

  He took a closer look.

  Is there anything different with her……

  Nothing?

  He had heard that these past few days, Xiao-Xiaobai prepared papaya soup and sent it to her. Perhaps Xiaobai had gone through puberty again? He took a closer look and did not notice any differences……

  This was strange.

  Could it be that he had to sense it with his hands?

  Lu Ming was deep in his thoughts.

  “Master, you can touch it.”


  Xiaobai was pleased.

  Ss——


  Lu Ming gasped a breath of cold air. “Are you serious?”


  Cough.

  That is being too direct!

  Is that alright?

  “Sure.”


  Xiaobai was very happy. “Master, use your energy to sense it.”


  “E-energy?”


  Lu Ming put down his right hand.

  “Yes.”


  Xiaobai thought that she had made it very clear. She then saw Lu Ming as well as his right hand that was in an uncomfortable position. “Master, what were you thinking of?”


  “I am referring to your energy as well.”


  Lu Ming looked solemn.

  Buzz—


  Energy surged before him.

  Lu Ming was surprised to find that energy particles surrounded Xiaobai, constantly rotating around her. The shining crystal clear light flashed and formed a new card!

  This was……

  Lu Ming’s pupils constricted.

  A card?

  A new card?!

  What was this? The materialization of the Original Card?!

  Shush!

  Lu Ming touched it gently.

  Buzz—


  There was a faint glow.

  Lu Ming was shocked to discover that the materialized card did not disappear. This was not condensed by the Original Card, this was truly……

  The Original Card!

  Xiaobai actually developed a second Original Card!!!……

  “This……”


  Lu Ming felt his mouth turn dry. “Can you control it?”


  “Yes.”


  Xiaobai waved her hands.

  Shush!

  The second Original Card was suspended momentarily. Although it was somewhat slow and it was clumsy when it was flying around, it still came flying toward them under Xiaobai’s command.

  Lu Ming was amazed.

  The second vocation core……

  He had lots of these!

  There were various vocation cores in his Sea of Consciousness!

  However, these vocation cores were taken from others. Basically, they were fake. They could only be used to self-destruct and as grenades!

  What was the use?

  They were useless!

  But whatever Xiaobai developed was the real core!

  “Can it create cards?” Lu Ming asked.

  “Yes.”


  Xiaobai personally demonstrated this for Lu Ming.

  Shush!

  Shush!

  A Leviathan Card was created.

  It was successful!

  The functions of this card were exactly the same as the Original Card!

  “Xiaobai.

  “Can I touch it?”


  Lu Ming was thrilled.

  “Okay.”


  Xiaobai sounded a little embarrassed.

  Hence……

  Lu Ming carefully touched the Original Card, feeling the energy and strength of this card. He confirmed that the card was indeed an Original Card!

  In that case……

  In the future, Original cards could function as dual SIMs?!……

  “Phew—”


  Lu Ming took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

  Although Xiaobai had created this secondary card, they had to test it before they knew the limitations and residual effects of this card as well as the difference between this card and the main card!

  “Xiaobai, have you tested it?”


  “No.”


  “Let’s do it together.”


  “Okay,” Xiaobai replied obediently.

  Hence……

  Lu Ming and Xiaobai tested the card together.

  In the end……

  They confirmed that the card was the same as the Original Card! This was a perfect secondary card! It was completely consistent with the Original Card!

  “Xiaobai, you’re amazing!”


  Lu Ming was amazed.

  All along, whether it was The First Academy, his sister, or even a lot of seniors, people around him had placed high importance on one’s talent, perception, and other abilities, but Lu Ming thought nothing of it. He had made it! He was merely a four-star, but he could defeat a five-star and challenge a six-star!

  Wasn’t he very impressive?

  Were talents and perception really that important?

  However, right now, he finally understood the reason why these people valued talent that much!

  It turned out that……

  This was what true talents were like!

  It turned out that……

  This was what they wanted!

  Scientific research!

  The future!

  Originality!

  Xiaobai had amazing talents!……

  “Xiaobai.”


  “Yes.”


  “How did you create it?”


  Lu Ming asked with a quiver in his voice.

  What was a vocation core?

  It was unique!

  A vocation core was the hub of all the energy in one’s body. All the energy had to pass through it to materialize!

  All the energy would then become one’s aura!

  It was impossible for energy that had been marked to condense to form a vocation core again!

  Therefore……

  It was impossible to have a second vocation core!

  Right now in the market, there were the so-called multiple attacks that could be launched at the same time. But this was achieved through external equipment. One could not do it by oneself!

  But Xiaobai……

  “It is very simple.”


  Xiaobai sounded very serious. “Although the energy that is marked with our aura cannot form another Original Card, it is possible for Xiao-Xiaobai! Therefore, I taught it how.”


  Lu Ming was dumbstruck for a long time.

  Damn!

  Taught Xiao-Xiaobai?

  Oh.

  Well……

  Xiao-Xiaobai was a newly born Original Card. It had a pure aura and therefore it could condense an Original Card…… To hell with that!

  Could it really?

  Since when could an Original Card form another Original Card?

  Calm down!

  He had to calm down!

  Lu Ming felt that he had to be calm and collected.

  The Original Card……

  Xiao-Xiaobai……

  Therefore…… under Xiaobai’s instructions, the Original Card developed a cognitive spirit and Xiao-Xiaobai. Right now, Xiao-Xiaobai went on to condense an Original Card and to create its next generation?!

  What did this mean?!

  Lu Ming froze completely.

  Wait a minute……

  If an Original Card could form another Original Card……

  Suddenly, there was a strange idea in his mind: if Xiaobai condensed Xiao-Xiaobai, and Xiao-Xiaobai condensed Xiao-Xiao-Xiaobai, and this process continued on……

  Swoosh!

  Swoosh!

  There was a sky full of Original Cards……

  It was an awesome scene.

  Could this be considered as being blessed with many children and grandchildren?

  Well……

  To hell with that!

  This was shocking!

  This was a scary thought!

  Although with the development of technology, people were always worried that one day artificial intelligence would dominate the world, eliminating human beings, Lu Ming felt that……

  If Xiaobai continued with her research without any care and caution…… artificial intelligence was nothing.

  Humph.

  The card spirits of the Bai line might rule the world!!!

  (〃’▽’〃)……
