  At Chong Yang City.

  The Card Creators Association.

  The Card Creating Pen in Li Haoran’s hands penned in light strokes. One card was created successfully.

  Buzz—


  Blue lights flashed.

  The card was completed.

  Those glittering and glowing energy particles in the small card had turned into blue fluorescent lights due to the high-density condensation. They looked so surreal.

  “This is……

  Surmounting ability?”


  The president of Chong Yang branch, who was sitting beside him, was appalled. Li Haoran had already progressed to such a level?

  Surmounting ability?

  It referred to the transformation at the next stage of advanced ability!

  Regardless of one’s profession and level, grasping the surmounting ability meant that the person had unmatchable talent!

  Yes.

  Talent!

  Some things are very difficult to achieve with hard work alone.

  The imparting of ability and learning had to begin from the basics. For deep and detailed learning, the amount of energy and time one had to use was frighteningly large!

  Talented people did not want to waste time on this aspect too. They already dashed towards greater heights!

  What would happen to the untalented ones who were stuck at this level?

  It would be more difficult to understand forever.

  Therefore……

  There were very few people who could master the surmounting ability or even advanced abilities.

  Especially—


  At this stage.

  What about card creation?

  It was even more difficult!

  The higher the level, the greater the requirements for the basics!

  More sophisticated lines!

  More complex techniques!

  Ordinary one-star, two-star and three-star Card Creators might not even know about advanced cards, much less the legendary surmounting card!

  And now……

  Li Haoran actually created it himself.

  “I was lucky to have obtained a surmounting card in the Mystic Realm,” Li Haoran said faintly, “I’ve studied it for a month and managed to create it.”


  “Okay. Very good.”


  The president felt very emotional.

  How long had it been since their Chong Yang branch had a genius?

  Especially this kind of genius!

  Even he himself could not create this kind of card!

  This child’s talent was shocking!

  He was certain that Li Haoran would be a high-ranking genius even at the headquarters. A three-star high-level Card Creator, surmounting ability……

  All these were honors!

  “Not bad.

  Li Aiguo was very satisfied. This was his son, indeed!

  Given this kind of card creation standard, it did not matter what kind of ‘foreign aid’ they got. They would beat the hell out of them!

  Qing Ming City?

  Hehe……

  Zhang Yang!

  It was time that you pay me back what you owe!

  ***

  Two days later.

  In the Card Creators Association of Qing Ming City.

  Early in the morning.

  The conference room was already filled with people.

  They were all waiting for Lu Ming and his aid to come. External parties needed to register in advance before entering. After all, only members of the Card Creators Association were eligible to participate in the match.

  “I don’t know if those legendary people will come.”


  Everyone was having some expectations.

  Well……

  Many people who could enter The First Academy had nicknames. Most of the Card Creators from The First Academy were already famous even before they entered the academy.

  “Lu Ming brought someone to the association.”


  There was news from the receptionist.

  Zhang Yang and the group craned their neck and waited anxiously.

  Dignity?

  Who cared!

  As long as they could win this exchange match, they could even crane their buttocks, much less their neck.

  He was coming!

  He was coming!

  Zzz —


  The doors opened.

  Zhang Yang swept his expectant gaze across. The smile on his face instantly froze.

  At the doorstep.

  There was only Lu Ming.

  Oh.

  He was holding the hands of a child.

  ???

  Where was the promised aid?!

  “Not here yet?”


  Zhang Yang was beginning to feel anxious.

  The people from The First Academy were indeed arrogant. The match was about to start and yet, the person had not arrived. Fine. It was acceptable for talented people to be a little proud.

  “She’s here.”


  Lu Ming shrugged.

  “Where?”


  Zhang Yang looked behind him.

  “Here.”


  Lu Ming pushed Xiaobai to the front.

  Everyone was dumbstruck.

  Well……

  A child?!

  Damn, are you kidding me!

  This is the Card Creator you recommended?! One can tell that this is a primary school student at one glance?!

  “Come.”


  Lu Ming asked Xiaobai to come over. “Greet everyone.”


  “Okay.”


  Xiaobai nodded obediently. She turned around and said, “Hello, grandfathers.”


  Grandfathers……

  The hands of Zhang Yang and the group trembled.

  They were only over fifty years old! This child was not eloquent at all!

  “This is Jiang Feng’s daughter, Xiaobai,” Lu Ming introduced.

  Jiang Feng……

  Zhang Yang and the group looked at one another.

  Oh, this was Senior Jiang’s granddaughter?

  Senior Jiang was only a few years older than them. However, this greeting sounded……

  So rustic…… Damn!

  “You’re Xiaobai, right.”


  Zhang Yang smiled bitterly. “Are you a one-star Card Creator?”


  “Yes.”


  Xiaobai nodded.

  “Your card creating standards……”


  Zhang Yang rubbed his head.

  “I’m not sure.”


  Xiaobai was somewhat clueless.

  She had been learning from Lu Ming all along and did not know her standards.

  We will panic if you continue to behave in this way, understand?

  “She is stronger than the one-star me!” Lu Ming said calmly.

  “Oh?”


  Everyone was a little astonished.

  Lu Ming had received the badge of the most powerful one-star Card Creator before!

  In that case……

  “Should we give it a try?”


  Zhang Yang suggested. He asked his assistant to prepare the materials.

  “Xiaobai, create a card for the grandfathers to see.”


  Lu Ming instructed.

  “Okay.”


  Xiaobai nodded obediently.

  The ‘grandfathers’ faces dimmed. This address was really……

  Whoosh!

  Whoosh!

  An ordinary Energy Card was created.

  Zhang Yang and the group was astonished by the lines that flashed across their eyes. This kind of drawing standard was comparable to, or even better than, Lu Ming. This child’s talent was shocking.

  “This will do.”


  Everyone was very satisfied.

  Although it was just an ordinary Energy Card, it was enough to tell that Xiaobai had an excellent foundation.

  “Okay.”


  After it ended, Xiaobai quickly put away the Energy Card.

  Well……

  This was a one-star Energy Card.

  She could not waste it.

  He cast an unfriendly gaze at Lu Ming. Damn. This was such a talented and adorable lady. Why had she been taught this way?!

  Weren’t you afraid that Jiang Feng would beat you to death?

  “Cough, cough.”


  Lu Ming coughed once and pretended that he did not see anything.

  “You really didn’t invite any students from The First Academy?”


  Zhang Yang sighed.

  “I didn’t.”


  Lu Ming shook his head.

  “But you said you have someone above you.”


  Zhang Yang said coldly.

  “Xiaobai likes to sit on my lap.”


  Lu Ming pursed his lips.

  Damn!

  This was also considered having ‘someone above’?!

  Yours truly had thought that you were referring to philosophy. In the end, you were referring to your body?

  This brat……

  Zhang Yang was at a loss for words.

  In Qing Ming City, which Card Creator was not respectful and polite with him?

  But Lu Ming?

  He was too mischievous!

  This was such an important matter and yet, he dared to fool around with him!

  “Let’s hope that we can win.”


  Zhang Yang sighed.

  The circumstances were already as such. What else could he say?

  Lu Ming deliberately brought Xiaobai here at such a timing because he did not want to give him any time to react.

  At this juncture, the people from Chong Yang branch successively arrived. What made them speechless was that…… Besides themselves, they brought along many video cameras.

  Oh.

  There was even a live broadcast.

  They could vaguely hear words such as “Cheers” and various tipping services to the host during the live streaming.

  Zhang Yang’s face was ghastly pale.

  Were the people from the Chong Yang branch that confident?

  Hehe.

  “Call the people from Qing Ming City TV Station to come over.”


  Zhang Yang sneered coldly.

  Didn’t you want to have a live broadcast?

  I will let you broadcast everything.

  “Okay.”


  The assistant went to make arrangements.

  In the morning.

  At ten o’clock.

  The huge testing area in the association had already been converted into a competition ground.

  It was very clean.

  It was very tidy.

  “The testing area of your association is not bad.”


  The people from the Chong Yang branch were a little surprised.

  The testing area was one of the facilities built in the earlier days, typically ten years ago. Most of the time, they would just change or replace some of the testing equipment. But Qing Ming association?

  They changed everything!

  The textured ice blue wallpaper, the decor, and facilities that gave out a soothing feel looked like they had just been refurbished this year.

  He who has the wealth speaks louder than others!

  “The Qing Ming branch was indeed the one with the most sponsorships.”


  The president of the Chong Yang branch had a scorching look in his eyes.

  Next year.

  Next year, all these will be mine!

  Zhang Yang’s gaze landed on Lu Ming.

  Lu Ming played dumb.

  Seemingly, this area was rebuilt after he demolished it?

  Well……

  No wonder it looked so new.
