The next day.
Early morning.
Lu Ming rushed to the Card Creators Association.
However …
He did not expect to see an old acquaintance here — Li Haoran.
Eh?
Wasn't this guy from the Chong Yang branch? Why was he here?
"It's you?"
Li Haoran naturally saw Lu Ming.
"You're still Two Stars?"
Li Haoran said in disappointment.
He was very disappointed.
It was true.
The exchange match was part of the motivation for him to succeed! He was able to come this far because of Lu Ming's infuriating words. He hated him in his heart. That was how he managed to break through!
Right now —
He was already a Four Stars Card Creator!
He had a meteoric rise!
What about Lu Ming?
He was actually still Two Stars.
He was too weak!
This …
Was he his opponent?
It was ridiculous at the thought of it. He was infuriated by him?
"Sigh."
Li Haoran sighed.
It was really …
Now that he thought about it, he was really too petty.
Humans would not be angry at an ant by the roadside. As a Four Stars powerful person, he should not be angry at an ant like Lu Ming.
"You're on your own now."
Li Haoran looked proud. "You're no longer fit to be my opponent."
However …
He had just regained his composure but he broke down after taking two steps. This was because at this moment, he could hear a very familiar voice behind him.
"But I defeated your father."
"…"
Li Haoran suddenly felt a surge of blood.
This damn guy!
"Don't you know what you're doing?"
Li Haoran's tone was cold and sinister.
"But I defeated your father."
Lu Ming sneered coldly.
"I'm Four Stars!"
Li Haoran gritted his teeth.
"But I defeated your father."
Lu Ming pursed his lips.
Hehe.
Idiot!
He only came to test the stability of the card. In the end, he encountered such a thing at the door. Forget it. Lu Ming could not be bothered with him.
In the end, this guy looked at him with disappointment and sarcasm …
Why are you so dramatic?!
Chuunibyou?
Four Stars?
What does Four Stars have to do with him?
Do I have to tell you that I can kill a row of Four Stars with my Crescent Blade?
"You …"
Li Haoran nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
This was too much!
Are you a recorder?!
What was the point of repeating the same sentence?!
He felt that his temperament was already very good. Really, as an absolute genius who had already achieved Four Stars at such a young age, he chose not to haggle over the provocation of a little Two Stars card master like Lu Ming.
How kind?
How benevolent was that?
There were no such geniuses in this world!
What was the result?
Lu Ming turned around and said, "I beat your father." How infuriating!
That was right.
The students in the school had no concept of social class.
Wasn't he the same back then? When he was at Two Stars and Three Stars, he was very arrogant. Now that he was at Four Stars, he was very calm.
"I forgive you for your rudeness."
Li Haoran took a deep breath. "You are just an ordinary student. When you graduate, when you are stuck at Two Stars or Three Stars for more than ten years …
"You will know.
"What kind of existence is Four Stars?
"You will also know how scary it is to offend me.
"You should be glad that I am not one of those Four Stars cultivators who mingle in the underworld. I won't be calculative with you. I hope that you won't be so foolish next time."
Li Haoran shook his head and left.
Eh?
Lu Ming looked baffled. What nonsense was this?
Therefore …
This guy had added to the drama, right?
…
"You are here, brother."
The sales manager walked over from afar.
"What is happening?"
Lu Ming pointed at Li Haoran's back view.
"What else could it be?"
The sales manager pursed his lips. "He is here to show off! Wasn't the Chong Yang branch suppressed badly the last time? I heard that even the president was almost suspended. I didn't expect Li Haoran to break through to Four Stars after being provoked and become a rare genius. How can the Chong Yang branch let go of this opportunity?
"Look, all of them are here.
"Don't provoke him."
The sales manager shook his head slightly. "Something might happen."
"Huh?"
Lu Ming felt baffled. What could happen?
"Well …"
The sales manager shook his head. "Forget it. Let's not talk about it."
Lu Ming was speechless.
F * ck your mom!
Could he not finish his sentence?
He hated this kind of people the most in his life. Moreover, looking at the sales manager's hesitant expression, he was actually waiting for him to ask him?
Hehe.
I won't ask. You will suffocate to death!
"I am going to the testing area."
Lu Ming waved his hands and left.
The testing manager was dumbstruck. He swallowed back the words that were at the tip of his tongue.
He was just keeping him in suspense …
Damn.
It was terrible!
…
Testing area.
Lu Ming walked to the Three Star area with familiarity.
After the previous incident, he was considered to have special privileges. He was allowed to go to the testing area directly.
However …
Before he started, he received a message — Zhang Yang invited him over.
Zhang Yang?
Lu Ming paused for a moment.
Why did the president of the association look for him?
He left the testing area and went upstairs. When he reached the office, he was shocked to discover that President Zhang Yang was actually sitting in a wheelchair and his body was wrapped in layers of bandages.
He looked as if he had just recovered from serious injuries.
"Are you injured?"
Lu Ming was shocked.
However, Zhang Yang did not speak. He turned around clumsily pushing the wheelchair and then looked at Lu Ming with a dark gaze. His gaze made Lu Ming feel goosebumps.
This gaze …
Those who did not know would think that he had done something to Zhang Yang!
"Are you alright?"
Lu Ming asked cautiously.
"What do you think?"
Zhang Yang looked at the bandages on his body.
Cough, cough.
"Well …"
Lu Ming coughed. "Who dares to hit you?"
"What do you think?"
Zhang Yang's gaze was dark. "Someone told me that he is not a Four Star Assassin … There is no need to be afraid …"
Eh?
Could it be …
Lu Ming widened his eyes suddenly.
Li Haoran?!
Crap, he actually dared to hit Zhang Yang?
Was he courting death?
"Can he defeat you?"
Lu Ming exclaimed.
Putting aside the question of whether he dared to fight, Li Haoran was a young Card Creator. How could he defeat a wily old fox like Zhang Yang? This was not logical at all.
"Of course he can't defeat me."
Zhang Yang said fiercely, "But after he broke through to Four Star, he created cards for a Four Star Assassin without asking for any remuneration. Can you guess why?"
Lu Ming was speechless.
How could he do that?
He really did not expect Li Haoran to have such a trick!
Therefore, this guy let the Four Star Assassin beat up Zhang Yang?
Society, society.
"This is not good."
Lu Ming sighed. "Didn't you find someone to beat him back?"
"I did."
Zhang Yang snorted. "Generally, Four Star Assassins are unwilling to take action. They feel that Li Haoran is too young. They either don't offend him or kill him directly."
Speaking of this, he gave a deep sigh.
It was true.
Should he report them?
There was no evidence!
Should he beat them back?
Generally, Assassins were unwilling to accept such a mission unless they were really willing to silence them … However, if a fight escalated to the level of silence, it would be a big deal!
Once someone died, the higher-ups of the association would definitely intervene!
Everyone would be in deep trouble!
Therefore …
They could only fight in the dark!
Therefore …
This matter could only be resolved with personal feud!
No one wanted to implicate the association. No matter how one looked at it, he had suffered this beating in vain.
Sigh.
Why did he believe Lu Ming's words in the heat of the moment? He was not a Four Star Assassin. He should be able to find a Four Star Assassin, right?
Zhang Yang heaved continuous sighs.
"…"
Lu Ming did not know whether to laugh or cry. What was going on?
"Don't misunderstand.
"I didn't ask you to come here for this."
Zhang Yang shook his head. "I know that your sister is very powerful. Therefore, you are not afraid of others. However, they don't know about Lu Yan's existence …
"So …
"You have to be more careful. Don't offend Li Haoran."
Zhang Yang reminded him.
He was afraid that something would happen to Lu Ming.
Previously, Lu Ming had helped them to fight. It was alright for him to be beaten up. However, Lu Ming was ultimately too weak. Those people did not hold back when they hit him …
If something happened to Lu Ming because of this, it would be troublesome.
"Uh."
Lu Ming thought about the meeting just now. "I'm afraid I've already offended him."
"That's not too harsh, right?"
Zhang Yang frowned.
"I think it's alright. I merely repeated a few lines."
Lu Ming thought about it.
"Hahahaha."
Zhang Yang laughed dryly. If those lines were those that he said 'Daddy', he would most probably be offended.
"You can hide in the association for a few days."
Zhang Yang's head was aching. He reckoned that Lu Ming would definitely give him a beating. "Li Haoran has just broken through to Four Stars. It's normal for him to be a little arrogant. Moreover, you spoke to him in that manner earlier …"
"It's alright."
Lu Ming did not care.
Four Stars Assassin?
Hehe.
Although he was not very powerful now, he could still use Moonblade once …
Knock!
Knock!
There was a knock on the door.
"President.
"The Chong Yang branch says that they are ready."
The assistant said.
"Okay."
Zhang Yang nodded slightly. "I'll go over right away."
"They are all here?"
Lu Ming squinted his eyes. Could it be an exchange competition again?
"It's a learning session."
Zhang Yang nodded slightly. "Didn't Li Haoran break through to Four Stars? As the youngest Four Stars Card Creator in the history of the ten nearby cities, the Chong Yang branch specially applied for Li Haoran to be the representative to talk to the other branches on how to break through to Four Stars as soon as possible. "
？？？
Lu Ming was dumbstruck. There was such a thing?
Wasn't this showing off in public?!
What was the point?
Well …
He had just broken through to Four Stars. Shouldn't he be stabilizing his level?
Li Haoran actually agreed?
Lu Ming was a little puzzled.
It was true.
The Chong Yang branch needed to pull themselves together. It was normal to show off and increase their popularity. However, wasn't it a little too much to bring Li Haoran around?
Was he that free?
Lu Ming had encountered Zhao Yunshan, Gao Tianlang and even Wu Hongfei in the legacy. All of them were fighting with their lives on the line! He was complaining that he was not talented enough and did not have enough time …
Li Haoran actually went to one city after another to show off?
How long would it take?
Outstanding!
"His father agreed."
Zhang Yang also had a strange expression. "I heard that this will make his father very popular in the local area. Li Haoran is cooped up in Chong Yang every day and there is no pressure. He also felt that it was alright to delay some time. Therefore, this is what happened."
Tsk tsk.
Lu Ming was surprised.
Comrade Li Aiguo was really upright!
As for Li Haoran …
"Doesn't he surf the Internet?"
Lu Ming was surprised.
There must be news about other Card Creator geniuses on the Internet.
"Who would flaunt like him?"
Zhang Yang pursed his lips. "The real genius Card Creators are all quietly creating cards? Besides, Li Haoran is just an ordinary university student. "
"Do you think …
"That he can reach that level?"
That was true.
Lu Ming was filled with emotions.
A genius was ruined just like that.
It was not only because of his father. Li Haoran was confined to a small city like Chong Yang. He was afraid that he would never have the motivation to be number one forever!
He had never thought about why he used 'number one in the nearby ten cities'.
Well …
This was because if he went further, he would be surpassed by other geniuses.
"Aren't you angry?"
Lu Ming felt amused.
He had been slapped in the face by other people!
"It's okay."
Zhang Yang's expression was indifferent. "Although most of it is boasting, as long as there is something useful and some peak Three Star can gain some insights, it is considered a good thing."
As for being beaten …
It did not matter.
It was not the first time that he was beaten.
This was the third time this year. There was nothing to be afraid of.
"I'll go and take a look then."
Lu Ming pondered deeply.
If the effect was good, he really wanted to take a look.
The key to breakthrough …
Was that the materialization of the Original Card?
His energy quality had already reached peak Three Star. Perhaps he could really give it a try. He could take a look at how Li Haoran taught.
Hence …
Lu Ming really followed Zhang Yang.
However …
It turned out that they were really thinking too much.
On the third floor.
In the conference hall.
By the time Zhang Yang and Lu Ming arrived, the place was already full of people.
After Lu Ming pushed Zhang Yang's wheelchair over, Student Li Haoran began to deliver the academic conference speech that he was very familiar with …
Afterward, there was no afterward.
Lu Ming glanced behind him. A lot of people had fallen asleep.
This was because the content of this guy's speech did not contain any technical content. It was mostly used to describe how difficult his family was, how his father had suffered, how hard he had worked, and so on. After unknown hard work and hardships, he finally reached this stage and thanked the Chong Yang branch for their support.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
This was pure bragging and flaunting!
"Speaking of breakthrough, I thought of my father's hard work …
"Speaking of cultivation, I thought of my journey …"
…
Hehe.
Lu Ming pursed his lips.
He knew how to say such things. Speaking of words, he remembered that Monk Sha was the best at it. Speaking of Monk Sha, at the beginning of next year, the Sino-American film …
Look.
How smooth was this turn of events?
It was useless!
This was an academic conference! Couldn't you say something with more technical content?
Forget it.
Lu Ming shook his head.
"I'll make a move first."
He bade farewell to Zhang Yang in a low voice and was about to leave.
He did not want to waste his precious time here. However, just as he was about to leave, Li Haoran glanced at him and changed the topic.
"Everyone wants to know what the key to breakthrough is?
"Right!
"Let me tell everyone. That is stability!
"Only when the stability of the Original Card is strong enough can it materialize! This is also the reason why only peak Three Star can try it!
"But …
"What is stability?
"I don't think many Card Creators know about it?
"Of course, everyone might not understand cultivation even if I explain it, especially when it is virtual. Therefore, it is best to have two Original Cards cross swords. This is more intuitive.
"I'm here to look for someone …
"Right.
"You.
"The one who took the initiative to stand up."
Li Haoran said to Lu Ming who was about to leave, "Is it because the people from Qing Ming City are so cooperative? Come, let's demonstrate it to everyone."
"Me?"
Lu Ming was dumbstruck.
Brother …
Are you serious?
