Chapter 182 - Were Lines Nowadays that Shameless?
Chapter 182: Were Lines Nowadays that Shameless?
Qing Ming City.
At the shop.
The school field issue had been resolved and Lu Ming was in a good mood.
Although he accidentally demolished a building, it was because the building itself was not stable enough. From a certain perspective, he had done a good deed.
Well...
After pondering seriously, he tore away the white label on the Demolition Card and replaced it with a few words — Construction Engineering Quality Inspection Card.
That was right.
This was the thing-in-itself!
What demolition?
That sounded so awful!
In the future, please call it Construction Engineering Quality Inspection Card!
That sounded classier!
Well...
Satisfied, Lu Ming put away the card and then glanced in Xiaobai’s direction out of habit. He was instantly dazzled by a fair and tender sight...
Eh?
Lu Ming’s eyes widened suddenly.
At the corner of the shop, besides a tiny puffing thing moving up and down, Xiaobai was diligently controlling the circulation of the Full Moon Sword Aura...
However!
This Sword Aura was like frost. It looked so stunning...
This was not a description!
It was not an adjective either!
It was... true. There was a layer of frost on the Sword Aura!
Right.
He did not see it wrong!
Frost?!
Lu Ming was shocked. The Full Moon Sword Aura had special effects too?
Shush!
Shush!
The Full Moon Sword Aura flashed across the shop.
Lu Ming could clearly see the glass of hot water on the table suddenly turned frosty...
The effect was astonishing!
This was...
Lu Ming recovered from his senses very quickly.
Lamination Card!
Right.
When he was cultivating, Xiaobai had been studying the cards. To a certain extent, Xiaobai’s progress on lamination had already surpassed him...
He could not help it.
He needed a lot more time to cultivate!
But Xiaobai?
Well...
It was better not to elaborate further.
Therefore...
When Lu Ming had painstakingly trampled the Original Card’s cultivation speed, he sorrowfully discovered that Xiaobai’s was going to surpass him in her lamination standards...
How difficult could life get?!
What could he do when he encountered a person akin to a plug-in?!
Unless...
“Xiaobai?”
“Huh?”
“Who do you owe your rapid cultivating progress to?”
“Master,” Xiaobai said obediently.
“Continue to work hard.”
Lu Ming was very satisfied.
“Yes.”
Xiaobai continued to cultivate happily.
Well...
Lu Ming was satisfied and contented. Look, no matter how high the cultivation speed, wasn’t it because he had taught her well?! She would still address him as master obediently, right?
Cough.
But then again, the Frosty Full Moon...
Well...
Lu Ming had only tested Frosty Sorrow and Flames of Joy before.
At that time, his energy level was not stable and the lamination would always collapse. Coupled with time constraints, he really did not have the energy to do these things...
But it was different now!
His energy constitution was as stable as a huge mountain!
Perhaps...
It was worth a try?
Hence, the frosting ability was not only restricted to weapons but also could be used on other Energy Cards?
Well...
This would be worth a try. Lu Ming was tempted. After all, Xiaobai had already experimented with the Sword Aura and he had some reference. It should be quite easy?
That was what Lu Ming had in mind.
Hence...
He personally created a one-star Frost Card + Full Moon lamination...
Whoosh!
A beam of frosty mist and a ray of the full moon were released simultaneously...
Lu Ming looked dumbstruck. Where was the promised Frosty Full Moon?
Who were you trying to fool?!
Oo...
Could it be that the posture was wrong?
Therefore, Lu Ming adjusted the position of the card, from the original position of the Frost on top of the full moon to the other way around!
Shush!
He released it again.
Whoosh!
One full moon and one frosty mist were released at the same time.
Lu Ming was silent.
Damn!
Are you bullying me because I’m not talented enough?
Hehe.
It was ridiculous!
Did they think that this would hinder him?
They were too naive!
“Xiaobai.”
Lu Ming suddenly spoke, “Let master check your... the lines on your card.”
“Okay.”
Xiaobai placed her card in front of Lu Ming.
Well...
Lu Ming glanced at it conscientiously.
Frost, Full Moon, Frost...
Eh?
It actually had three layers?
This was the legendary sandwich position?
Tsk tsk. Even lines nowadays were that shameless?
“I-is it wrong?”
Xiaobai was very worried.
Her master’s expression did not look good.
“Don’t worry.”
Lu Ming inspected for a moment. “It’s a little unstable but there shouldn’t be a problem using it. The problem will be resolved if you increase your energy slightly.”
“Okay.”
Xiaobai felt more assured now.
Master was so brilliant. He could tell the problem at one glance.
Well...
Xiaobai continued to cultivate.
Lu Ming then began to create the card again.
Shush!
Shush!
Frost + Full Moon + Frost...
Whoosh!
A dense layer of frost really appeared with the Full Moon Sword Aura. It was as if the cold and chilling Sword Aura was enveloped by a layer of frost.
It was super dashing!
“Oo, enveloping with lines can achieve this kind of effect?”
Lu Ming was astounded.
Wait a minute.
What if this was not used on Sword Aura but on bulls? Did it mean that his energy bull could also look that dashing with the special frosting effect?
For example—
Frosty raging bull?
“Should I test it out?”
Lu Ming felt energized.
Hence...
He created a Frost + Brutal Charge + Frost Lamination Card.
Whoosh!
He cast the card.
A raging bull condensed by frost appeared, totally covered in frost. Its exterior looked like an ancient ice armor. The raging bull who initially looked ordinary seemed more magnificent now.
It worked!
Lu Ming was very satisfied.
It turned out that the frosting ability could be used in that way!
Well...
Charge!
He stimulated the raging bull to charge ahead.
However...
The bull did not move the slightest bit.
Lu Ming was confused.
What was happening?
He circled the frosty bull and took a closer look, only to discover an extremely shocking matter... Damn! This seemingly ferocious-looking raging bull was actually frozen!
Right.
The frosting ability was too powerful and had frozen it...
What did this mean?
Lu Ming could not figure it out.
He tried to adjust to different frosting abilities and discovered that it would be ineffective if the frosting ability was too weak. If it was too strong, the bulls would be frozen...
It was basically useless.
In the end...
He could only give up.
Oo...
Should he try it with flames?
Lu Ming felt energized. Frost could freeze something but flames would not?
Hence...
He personally created a new card.
Whoosh!
An energy raging bull appeared.
It was surrounded by blue flames, looking like a demon stepping out of the dark in a nightmare. At one glance, one could tell that it had classy skin that could only be exchanged with glory crystals!
It was a success!
Lu Ming was thrilled.
“Wow!”
Xiaobai’s eyes were also filled with little stars.
Bull!
Blue bull!
It was a burning bull surrounded by blue flames!
“I don’t know how powerful it is.”
Lu Ming was full of anticipation.
Despite being a one-star card, if the effect was good, he could completely utilize it on other high-end cards...
Well...
Lu Ming glanced at it eagerly.
Bang!
The energy bull roared loudly. Afterward... it was burnt to ashes by the flames and disappeared into nothing.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Xiaobai was at a loss.
In the sky.
There was only a faint glow of energy.
It could vaguely prove that something existed in the air earlier on.
“Damn...” Lu Ming lamented.
It was true.
Guys, did you come here to act cute?
The burning flames on your body are actually real!
It turned out that the flames on these bulls would burn them?!
Are you kidding?!
It would be burnt before even reaching the enemy? What was this? Have you seen a Pikachu that electrocuted itself to death with a bolt of lightning?
As for the color...
Hehe.
Right from the beginning, he was still curious why an ordinary Fireball would turned into such good-looking blue hues. Now that he thought about it, wasn’t this the color of the bulls burning....
Damn!
Who were they fooling?
Smiling, Xiaobai quietly turned back.
Lu Ming looked sullen.
He did not believe that he could not fix a bull?
Again!
He tried testing the flaming bull again. This time, he took the opportunity to attack when the flaming bull appeared. However, it disappeared after he walked about two meters...
It was burnt to death again.
Hehe.
Basically, it was condensed by energy. If this was the summoned kind...
Most probably, he would have barbecued bulls to eat.
However, although he failed again, Lu Ming had verified the power of the flaming bull. It seemed to be much more powerful than pure energy!
It seemed to have the effect of one + one = greater than two!
Oo...
If he could release it for real...
Perhaps...
Hence, he began to experiment with various adjustments. However, what was strange was that no matter how he studied it, the energy bull could not escape from the destiny of being burnt to death...
There were various ways of dying although only one Fireball was used!
Afterward, Lu Ming simply created purely two lamination with a certain flame ability + Brutal Charge. However, a raging bull that was condensed in this way was also burnt to death alive...
“This is a headache.”
Lu Ming rubbed his head.
Flames...
Energy...
Could he find a way to isolate them?
Should he give it a try?
Lu Ming tried a few basic elemental isolation ability. Brutal Charge + flame ability + a certain isolation ability. However, what made him speechless was that this time, the flames burnt both the bulls and the isolation ability...
A—alright.
What else could Lu Ming say?
He did not expect that such low-level flames could not be isolated when cast in this way! The flames and bulls seemed to be integrated...
Therefore, it was very easy to engulf them.
It was a pity...
He had absolutely no way...
Wait a minute.
An idea flashed across Lu Ming’s mind.
If it was isolation, didn’t he have an isolation-type super ability? In theory, that film ability that could isolate everything!
Right!
He almost forgot about it!
Shush!
Lu Ming’s eyes lit up.
Hence...
He created cards again and placed a layer of Isolation Film in the middle.
Brutal Charge + Isolation Film + flame ability!
Buzz—
He released it again.
An energy bull with burning flames appeared. It rampaged and had shocking prowess. Just as Lu Ming was filled with anticipation, it disappeared again...
It was a failure again!
However, it had lasted for over ten seconds this time!
This went to prove that the Isolation Film itself was effective but it was not that powerful!
In that case...
Lu Ming was tempted. He might as well upgrade this layer of film!
The film that Chu Xiao gifted him was extraordinary and it was an advancing ability. After Lu Ming’s lightning integration, it had transformed into a three-star top-notch card!
Still, it was one layer of film!
It was tougher.
It was more powerful.
“Let’s try again.”
Lu Ming licked his dry lips.
Shush!
Shush!
He added the new Isolation Film lines onto the Integration Card.
The card creation was completed.
Whoosh!
Lu Ming released it.
Bang!
A bull in flames appeared and furiously dashed towards its destination. Although it as merely a one-star card, the powers it released were extremely terrifying!
Furthermore—
Both the flames and the bull were still around!
It was successful?!
Lu Ming widened his eyes.
He was surprised not because the bull had not been burnt to death but that he could clearly see a familiar streak appearing when he used this kind of card just now...
That was...
It represented the surmounting blue radiance!
Right.
Blue!
The Composite Card created by Lu Ming actually released the surmounting blue radiance! Although it was only one-star, it had a whole new meaning to it!
“Surmounting...”
Lu Ming was stunned.
This was the first surmounting card that he had!
From a certain perspective, it was the first advanced card that he succeeded in creating!
One three-star advanced Isolation Card + one ordinary Fireball Card + one Brutal Charge Card. It actually morphed into a new level!
It turned out that...
Surmounting could be done like that?
He had always thought that this kind of advanced or surmounting card came from sealing cards that already had surmounting or advancing abilities...
After all, lightning integration would not improve quality!
However...
He did not expect that...
One day, he would actually create a surmounting card that uniquely belonged to him!
Bang!
His mind boomed.
Lu Ming’s horizons widened again.
In the early stages, his energy was not stable enough and the lamination would collapse. Therefore, he had not considered unlimited lamination before. It turned out that this was the best method for the card to advance!
Lightning Integration had given him the best top-notch Base Card!
And lamination... was to use these top-notch Base Cards to create new legendary cards!
At this very moment...
Somewhere.
It was the most critical juncture of the review of the college at the crossroad.
After a long period of review, investigations, and accumulation of results, they had confirmed that the college had met the conditions of shutting down. However, never did they expect that this college would get into the top hundred for the School Championship Competition!
“End the review,” someone said.
The other people sighed. It seemed that they could only do so.
The college had achieved such results. It was considered that they had gained some points and successfully redeemed their life...
“Let’s wait longer and see what happens.”
They decided to observe more.
“We’ve seen the competition. Lu Ming and those few students performed quite well,” they exclaimed emotionally.
However...
Just at this moment, someone suddenly spoke.
“Wait a minute. If we close the college at the crossroad and re-assess these students, our schools will have a chance to recruit them? Those few kids were quite talented... or maybe Lu Ming?”
Eh?
The rest of them came to their senses.
This seemed... very logical?
