  Tian Du City.

  The Sword Card Master Association.

  The wind blew past. The fur on the ground floated in the wind. The remnants of the wolf fur were the only reminder that Fiery Cloud Wolves had been there seconds ago……

  The teenager’s proud expression froze.

  Behind him, several cameramen who had come with him carrying their cameras, intending to record what had happened and post the encounter on the internet while making indirect attacks on Lu Ming, left quietly.

  Obviously……

  They did not expect this end.

  Lu Ming merely lifted his hands and all the summoned beasts disappeared!

  Six powerful Fiery Cloud Wolves came in unison and disappeared in unison…… They seemed like a family.

  “You……”


  The teenager was dumbstruck for a long time.

  How did…… this happen?!

  Fiery Cloud Wolf was his strongest summoned beast! They were six-star summoned beasts that belonged to a top-tier team! Every one of them could fight an ordinary six-star head-on!

  Having one of them was considered lucky by ordinary people.

  And he……

  With the help of his father, he had captured the entire clan. That was how he upgraded all his summoned beasts from one-star to six-star with Fiery Cloud Wolves!

  He was the only one who had that many Fiery Cloud Wolves!

  They were much more powerful!

  When six Fiery Cloud Wolves came together, their might was sufficient to defeat an ordinary peak six-star!

  However, when it was against Lu Ming……

  He merely lifted one hand.

  And they were gone……

  All of them were gone.

  What about his competition next week……

  The teenager looked at Lu Ming and the fur of the wolves on the ground. He burst out in tears, crying while leaving the scene.

  Lu Ming was speechless.

  The people from the Sword Card Master association were speechless.

  Damn it.

  Was this the child who came looking for trouble?!

  “What is happening?”


  Lu Ming looked baffled. People who were clueless might think that he bullied the teenager.

  Cough.

  Li Haoran whispered,”These types of summoned beasts are real creatures. Once they are dead, there is no way for them to come back alive.”


  The core ability of a Summoner—Summon.

  Every Summoner at different levels could summon an additional creature. One could summon a materialized creature or creatures similar to the Fiery Cloud Wolves that were bound to powerful forces.

  In general, one would have different creatures of different levels all the way to six-star.

  It was rare for the teenager to have all six-star creatures. After reaching six-star, he must have spent a lot of money to replace them, unfortunately……

  “I see.”


  Lu Ming felt very wronged.

  What could he do about it?

  It was his fault that the six Fiery Cloud Wolves were exactly the same…… If he did not use the Elimination Card, he would have wasted his time testing them!!!

  But……

  Come to think of it……

  Not every talented teenager was mature.

  These geniuses had to master the core of basic education at eleven or twelve years old. They had to be diligent in their cultivation to reach six-star at sixteen or seventeen years old……

  It was not easy.

  After all, not everyone’s master was as perfect as him……

  “Is that so, Xiaobai?”


  Lu Ming smiled faintly.

  “Yes.”


  Xiaobai nodded with a serious look on her face.

  Right then.

  Yang Liu-er who was initially hesitant, witnessed this scene and confirmed her decision to be a Sword Card Master!

  “What’s with the child?”


  Lu Ming turned to look at Yang Liu-er.

  He remembered that the teenager seemed to have mentioned Liu-er just now.

  “He’s a classmate.”


  Yang Liu-er sighed.

  After completing basic education, apart from learning cultivation from their parents, they also went to the same genius training class. The teenager was one of them.

  Initially, she thought that the teenager had powerful abilities.

  However……

  After competing with Lu Ming……

  Sigh.

  He was in a different league!

  “Don’t misunderstand me.

  “I won’t keep in touch with him in the future,” Yang Liu-er said softly.

  Lu Ming was dumbstruck.

  Wait a minute.

  It had nothing to do with him if she contacted him or not!

  Forget it.

  Lu Ming rubbed his head, having a headache. He felt that it was better to communicate with Zhou Yun. It was better not to select female candidates from the list of talents in the future……

  However……

  He was unaware of something.

  At this moment, in the office,the girl who was screening and reviewing each candidate on the name list excitedly, was giving priority to the female candidates on the list……

  Well……

  Zhou Yun had her plans as well.

  She understood the situation.

  She was an orphan. If she wanted to be worthy of the fool who was willing to sacrifice everything for her, she had to become stronger! The Sword Card Master Association had to become stronger!

  For the Sword Card Master Association to become stronger, the faster way was to recruit talents!

  Amongst them, it was the best to get Lu Ming who had the looks, to attract many females, and bask in glory……

  That was simply too good!

  Look, he had recruited Yang Liu-er!

  Now that Yang Liu-er joined them, the Yang family would be considered an indirect supporter of the Sword Card Master Association.

  There was nothing wrong with that.

  In that case, the next candidate…… Zhou Yun looked at the list. Her gaze rested on a voluptuous and adorable young lady. Well…… she would get to know more about her……

  That afternoon.

  Just when Lu Ming was getting ready to study the card……

  Suddenly……

  Someone else issued a challenge at the entrance.

  “Lu Ming!

  “Come out now!

  “Don’t hide inside without making a sound. I know you are home!”


  A loud and burly voice came from outside.

  People from the Sword Card Master Association went out and were shocked to discover that it was another young man. He seemed to be slightly older than Lu Ming.

  He was about twenty years old.

  Well……

  He was an intermediate six-star.

  “You are?”


  Lu Ming was doubtful.

  This was strange.

  Why did so many people come to challenge him today?

  “Humph!

  “My younger brother was beaten up here this morning,” the young man said coldly.

  “Oh……”


  Lu Ming came to his senses.

  He was the elder brother of the teenager this morning.

  “He came to challenge me. What happened after……” Lu Ming explained.

  “There is no need for an explanation.”


  The young man waved his hand in a domineering manner. “I don’t need to hear your explanation. Since you defeated him, I will defeat you. Let’s fight!”


  Bang!

  The young man took a step forward.

  “I!

  “I am officially challenging you!”


  The young man said proudly.

  Of course, although he appeared to be arrogant, he knew the seriousness of things.

  A senior once said to him that one must look down on the enemy in terms of strategy and think highly of the enemy in terms of tactics. That was why he used his most powerful move right away.

  Shush!

  He waved his hands.

  A mighty roar reverberated through the clouds.

  Roar—


  A majestic lion appeared in front of everyone.

  The Savannah Lion was one of the top-tier six-star summoned beasts. It was stronger than the Fiery Cloud Wolf and had a higher requirement level.

  This lion……

  “Master.”


  Li Haoran and others were worried.

  Summoners were shameless in this way. This was also the reason why rich big shots liked Summoners. This was because they could easily win in terms of quality!

  Ordinary cultivators would find it difficult to rear a six-star beast!

  What about rich big shots?

  All of them were six-stars!

  What would one feel like when one went out with three-star or four-star Yama Usagi, Zashiki-warashi, Inugami, Heiyo and Shouzu[1], and encountered a full lineup of SSR[2] six-stars?

  What could one use to fight them?!

  The one before his eyes……

  He was apparently a rich big shot.

  “This lion……”


  Lu Ming looked grim.

  He could sense the terrifying aura of this Savannah Lion. Given his advanced five-star abilities, it was a stretch to fight a Summoner and a Savannah Lion.

  Well, should he turn him away?

  This was what Lu Ming had in mind.

  It was true.

  The thing with the challenge was, if he did not agree to it, the other party had no other choice. He could not possibly insist on a fight! If so, the police would step in. However, it was a little embarrassing to do that!

  But Lu Ming did not seem to mind.

  He did not stand to gain anything!

  He was not compensated for it!

  Furthermore, it was a tough fight. Why must he accept the challenge?

  This was the advantage of being in Tian Du City. If one declined the challenge and the other party insisted on the fight, the other party would be sent to jail……

  Hence……

  Lu Ming was ready to decline.

  However……

  The young man opposite him sneered.

  Did he think that things would end right there?

  No way!

  The young man had more lined up.

  Hence……

  He waved his hands.

  Lights flashed. Six mighty and domineering Savannah Lions lined up neatly at the entrance of the Sword Card Master Association, roaring toward the sky.

  Roar!

  The ground trembled.

  The entire Sword Card Master Association quivered.

  The roars of the six Savannah Lions reverberated. There seemed to be a Dolby audio effect, as the sounds traveled to their ears.

  There was an odd expression on Lu Ming’s face.

  Oo……

  Six of them.

  These numbers……

  “There is still a chance if you surrender,” The young man said arrogantly. Seeing that Lu Ming did not decline, he waved his hands. “Attack!”


  Roar!

  The Savannah Lions attacked rapidly!

  Afterward……

  Whoosh—


  Lu Ming lifted his hand and a breeze blew through the air. Six Savannah Lions exploded and melted away right on the spot, leaving only lion furs swaying in the wind.

  The expression on the young man’s face froze.

  They’re gone?!

  How is that possible?!

  There were no Fiery Cloud Wolves!

  The six lions were more powerful and he reared them to become intermediate six-stars! It was impossible that they could not defeat Lu Ming!

  No!

  This was not the problem of defeating him or not. Instead, they could not even handle one offensive move frm Lu Ming!

  “You……

  “What kind of demon are you?!”


  The young man fled in distress.

  Everyone in the Sword Card Master Association stared in awe at the profile of their president, feeling mesmerized.

  Ah, this was the power of a top-notch Sword Card Master!

  New Sword Card Masters as well as the novices and the Sword Card Masters who were working hard were full of fighting spirit. They vowed to become someone like him!!!

  “Let’s go back.”


  Lu Ming sighed. “These furs……”


  “It’s alright,”


  Li Haoran said softly, “The cleaning auntie will pick them up.”


  “Sure.”


  Everyone finally left.

  However……

  Surprisingly, another man came to challenge Lu Ming in the evening.

  “Lu Ming!

  “Come out now!

  “As a president, how dare you bully juniors?!”


  A young man in his twenties who wore a green and red T-shirt was furious.

  Lu Ming sighed. “Are you the elder brother of the two of them?”


  “It’s good that you know who I am.”


  The young man sneered, pointing at Lu Ming. “Both of them are childish, yet you are childish as they are. As a president, what is the point in bullying two juniors?!”


  “So?”


  Lu Ming sighed.

  “I am going to restore the reputation of the Summoners!”


  The young man was proud. “Our family is one of the most powerful families in the Summoner industry. The two of them might have been weak, but it does not mean that our family is weak……

  “It’s time for you to see what a real Summoner is!”


  With that. the young man got up. “I officially challenge you!”


  “You can go ahead to summon the creatures.”


  Lu Ming was rendered speechless.

  It was true.

  He was not surprised by his challenge……

  “Damn it!”


  The young man was furious.

  Due to his two foolish younger brothers, Lu Ming was looking down on their family! He had to fight in today’s battle!

  Hence……

  He used his most powerful combat abilities!

  Advanced six-star summoned creature—Golden Flying Steed. It dominated in the sky, galloping through the air with a powerful spatial force. It was an extremely rare horse!

  Attack: Five-star!

  Defenses: Five-star!

  Speed: Five-star!

  If the Fiery Cloud Wolf and Savannah Lion were considered a top-tier team, the Golden Flying Horse was a top-tier force in the truest sense. Having one of it was enough to set oneself apart from one’s rivals.

  Ss——


  The golden steed neighed.

  The air trembled.

  A powerful spatial force shook the ground.

  Of course, Lu Ming was not worried at all!

  It was true.

  Although the so-called golden steed seemed to be very cool, according to his understanding of the so-called “Summoner family’ that the young man spoke of……

  “Only this?”


  Lu Ming sighed.

  The veins on the young man’s forehead were bulging.

  True enough……

  He had been looked down upon.

  He sneered and released all his combat abilities!

  Shrill—


  There was a loud howl that resonated through heaven and earth.

  Golden flying steeds that were as bright as the sun appeared. There were six golden steeds in total. They lined up neatly in front of the Sword Card Master Association.

  They looked majestic.

  “Golden steeds, attack!”


  The young man shouted proudly.

  “Sigh.”


  Lu Ming gave a deep sigh.

  Shush!

  He lifted his hand skilfully.

  Buzz—


  A strange energy swung in the air. The six golden steeds that came flying shook slightly, their legs trembled and they knelt down in front of Lu Ming.

  Bam!

  Bam!

  The golden steeds knelt down neatly on the ground.

  The young man had a look of confusion on his face.

  This……

  What was happening?!

  As opposed to what he had heard from his two younger brothers, this was a very different situation.

  Lu Ming pondered deeply for a moment.

  The Fiery Cloud Wolves and the Savannah Lions had disappeared immediately, except for the golden steeds. Although energy exploded within them, they merely lost power in their legs……

  Oo……

  This means that……

  Advanced six-star is the limit of the Elimination Card!!!

  As a top-notch advanced five-star card, Lu Ming was already very pleased that it could kill a large group of advanced six-stars immediately. As for peak six-star enemies……

  He had seen it for himself when he had used it on the men in black.

  At this moment, the testing of the Elimination Card was completed.

  “You……

  “How can that be possible?!”


  The young man’s mouth felt dry.

  How could Lu Ming have such powerful combat abilities?

  Although he and his younger brothers were one small realm apart from each other, to the Summoners, six summoned beasts made a huge difference!

  However……

  They could not withstand one move of Lu Ming!

  “Get up!”


  The young man hollered.

  He tried to get the golden steeds that were kneeling to get up.

  It was to no avail.

  The golden steeds kept kneeling. They had lost strength in their legs There was no way for them to get up!

  “You went to great lengths to cultivate them. I won’t destroy them.”


  Lu Ming said faintly, “You are different from the two of them. You are only steps away from a seven-star. If I kill them, you will need to rear them again.

  “Go back.

  “Work hard in your cultivation and strive to reach seven-star as soon as possible.

  “This matter……

  “I hope that it will end here.”


  Shush!

  The young man trembled. He felt a sense of bitterness.

  It turned out that……

  This was the gap between him and Lu Ming.

  He looked at the golden steeds who knelt on the ground. He felt a deep sense of weakness. He was far behind Lu Ming in terms of abilities and consciousness!

  This man……

  He was like his father!

  “Thank you!”


  The young man was extremely ashamed.

  He respectfully bowed to Lu Ming and thanked him.

  He turned around.

  He was about to leave when he suddenly turned around and asked respectfully, “Senior Lu, can I know what move you used?”


  Lu Ming merely lifted his hands and made a move and the golden steeds knelt on the ground!

  It was an unforgettable sight.

  “This is……”


  Lu Ming pondered briefly and suddenly smiled. “This is called Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers.”


  “Golden Rooster……”


  The young man cupped his hands, happy he received the advice.

  It was such a low profile name but he could feel its powerful ancient force. It was like a rooster that had been in a deep sleep for countless years but had awakened.

  The three brothers had steeds, wolves and lions, but in the end they could not even withstand one strike……

  The young man left.

  “I will no longer accept challenges,” Lu Ming instructed his disciples.

  The appearance of the three brothers had helped him to complete the final testing of the Elimination Card. It was meaningless to accept more challenges. This was why he had made that statement.

  “Understood.”


  Li Haoran nodded slightly.

  Never did they expect that although the Sword Card Master Association had stated that they would not accept more challenges, due to the reputation of the “three Summoners brothers”, videos of the challenges were being circulated!

  High definition!

  Uncensored!

  Multi-camera!

  One vs. three!

  Every key word was sensational.

  Hence……

  These small videos that were taken secretly from a distance circulated throughout people’s social networks. Almost everyone knew that they had challenged Lu Ming!

  The last comments made by the young man restored the dignity of the Summoner family.

  It also resolved all their grievances.

  However……

  People’s attention was not on the three of them. Their target was the card that disappeared mysteriously in Lu Ming’s hands!

  Three videos!

  Thrice the shock!

  They witnessed how the summoned beasts failed again and again……

  Six top-notch beginner six-star summoned beasts!?

  They were defeated!

  Six top-notch intermediate six-star summoned beasts!?

  They were defeated!

  Six top-notch advanced six-star summoned beasts!?

  They were defeated!

  The three Summoner brothers were already unmatched among their peers. To all the Summoners of the same level, they were almost considered the perfect line-up!

  Even so, they still could not withstand one move of Lu Ming!

  How could they not feel alarmed?!

  Every Summoner who saw the small video was in a panic.

  Actually, this was very easy to understand.

  It was like gaming.

  If one could not beat the enemies, one knew that it must be due to money.

  If one could not beat the enemies, one knew that it must be due to the line-up.

  If one could not beat the enemies, one knew that it must be due to the techniques.

  However, when one realized that the rich big shot cultivator whom one deemed as an idol, and was talented, rich and had good techniques, was beaten and had to kneel down to call the enemy “father”—


  It was time to blame the game designer.

  As such, there was a huge sensation on the Summoner forum.

  The multi-camera video of Lu Ming and the three brothers also circulated on social media. In order to put an end to panic and rumors, all the Summoner Associations began to block it……

  However, it was too late!

  Once the videos circulated……

  The Summoner forum was completely heated up!!!

  All the Summoners madly posted threads on the forum. The last time the Leviathan Card had caused a huge sensation on the Summoner forum……

  [1] Yama Usagi, Zashiki-warashi, Inugami, Heiyo and Shouzu are characters in Onmyoji, a turn-based fantasy strategy game.

  [2] SSR is an acronym for specially super rare in gaming.
