Qing Ming City.
The Card Creators Association.
Branch Guild Leader Zhang Yang stared at the challenge letter before him with a livid expression.
Yes.
A letter of challenge!
Just the day before, the Card Creators Association of the neighboring city had suddenly sent them a letter of challenge, hoping to have an exchange match full of love and friendship.
To hell with friendship!
It was obviously for this year's sponsorship quota!
It was supposed to be Qing Ming City's target. However, as there were many things going on in Qing Ming City these few months, the higher-ups were hesitant. Hence, the guys from the neighboring branch took the initiative to look for them.
If he lost …
He reckoned that those indicators would really go to the next door!
The friendly competition was very simple. There were a total of three matches, and the winner would be two out of three. One Star, Two Stars, and Three Stars would each have a match! The three matches were enough to prove which branch was more worthy of nurturing!
"Are they that confident?"
Zhang Yang sneered.
"Uh."
The Vice President smiled bitterly. "Li Haoran is in their city."
Zhang Yang was silent.
Li Haoran …
He was a Three Star peak Card Creator!
He was also a genius that the Chong Yang City branch had been nurturing!
It was said that he had passed the "Advanced Card Creator Professional Qualification Certification" at a young age and was now a true Advanced Card Creator!
A Three Star high-level Card Creator?
Damn it!
Did this grandson grow up eating cards?
"What about Two Stars?"
Zhang Yang asked.
"Uh."
The Vice President was expressionless. "Li Haoran's father, Comrade Li Aiguo, was stuck at Two Stars because of his injury. Now, he's still at Two Stars."
“???”
Zhang Yang had a mental breakdown.
Li Haoran's father?
F * ck your mom!
How old was that guy?!
Fifty!
Did he have the nerve to compete?
"Ask Senior Jiang to come here."
Zhang Yang sneered.
Wasn't it just a competition of age? We also have veterans on our side! Jiang Feng's father! Since you, Li Aiguo, came out to bully the young, I'll let Senior Jiang take care of your son!
"That."
The vice president smiled bitterly. "Senior Jiang might not necessarily be Li Haoran's opponent."
That Li Haoran …
That was insane!
A Three Star high-level Card Creator!
Many Four Stars level people might not be able to pass the high-level Card Creator certification! This fellow's talent was truly invincible!
"Father and son soldiers!"
Zhang Yang's face was livid.
The battle between the Three Stars was inevitable. If Master Jiang lost, it would be even more shameful. Therefore, he might as well not go. Therefore, he could only fight in the Two Stars and One Star stages.
Two Stars …
They had indeed nurtured some geniuses, but they were no match for a senior like Li Aiguo!
They weren't even on the same level!
Under normal circumstances, which Two Stars Cultivator in his fifties or sixties would have the nerve to participate in this kind of friendly competition?
Obviously …
This time, the Chong Yang branch had made their attitude clear — they could throw away their face, but they had to get the sponsorship!
"Search!"
"Find me one too!"
Zhang Yang roared, "I don't believe that I can't find a senior at the Two Stars level!"
The vice president felt a little awkward.
This was really hard to find.
After all …
Almost all the people at the same level as Li Aiguo were Three Stars or even Four Stars!
Other than this kind of special situation where one could not progress due to injury, who would be stuck at the Two Stars level? As they grew older, they would eventually reach the Three Stars level!
Li Aiguo and Master Jiang were already enough.
This time, the Chong Yang branch was obviously well-prepared. They had even applied to the headquarters for the friendly competition in advance. They were caught unprepared and had no time to prepare at all!
Three Stars would definitely lose!
Two Stars might also lose!
One Star …
One Star was the least worried.
This was because they had a genius who was comparable to Li Haoran on their side, Lu Ming! A guy who had mastered lamination at the One Star level!
"Let me think of a way for Two Stars."
Zhang Yang rubbed his head. "Let Lu Ming participate in the One Star friendly competition."
"Well …"
The vice president smiled bitterly. "Lu Ming rejected it."
"…"
Zhang Yang widened his eyes.
Rejected?
This lad actually rejected it?!
This was a friendly competition that concerned the reputation of the Qing Ming City branch!
"Doesn't he have any sense of place?!"
Zhang Yang hollered furiously.
The youngsters nowadays were really not as good as the previous generation …
"Uh."
The vice president said gingerly, "He is not from Qing Ming City. He just came here to study for a year and joined the association a few days ago. He was introduced by the higher-ups."
Zhang Yang was speechless.
Oh.
It turned out that Lu Ming was not from Qing Ming City.
Zhang Yang's head was aching.
Therefore, it was very likely that they would be defeated by the other party by three to zero?!
This was simply humiliating!
This would not do!
He had to settle Lu Ming's side.
Zhang Yang's eyes were red. He was still thinking about how to defeat the Chong Yang branch. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, it had become how not to be defeated by three to zero?
It was simply tragic.
This was no longer a matter of sponsorship!
It was about reputation!
The reputation of the Qing Ming City branch!
…
At this very moment …
Classmate Lu Ming was looking for relevant abilities.
He had indeed received a call from the Card Creators Association earlier. They inexplicably asked him to participate in the exchange match and he had to win. Otherwise, they would do something else.
Lu Ming hung up the phone.
What a joke.
What did the exchange match have to do with him?
His time was precious now. He did not have the time to participate in the match!
Well …
Lu Ming's gaze returned to the Internet.
Eye of Insight, Three Star top-notch ability. It could enhance one's perception, turn all non-energy substances and focus energy particles. It was an extremely powerful ability.
Copyright price: One million yuan.
Energy requirement: Three thousand points.
Sealing conditions: Extremely difficult.
As the Eye of Insight was an auxiliary ability that could be used on oneself, it was particularly difficult to seal it. This also indirectly affected its price!
"Xiao Bai, how much money do we have at home?"
Lu Ming asked.
"Well …"
Xiao Bai did some calculations. "Initially, we don't have any left. We sold three hundred thousand yuan these days and the rest is energy resources. We don't have enough to make up one million yuan."
"Oh."
Lu Ming understood.
He had accumulated so much cash and only had three hundred thousand yuan!
He did not have much energy resources to begin with. If he sold them at a discount and accumulated one million yuan, he would have no more resources to cultivate!
He could not afford it.
He gave up on this ability.
"Why not …"
Xiao Bai thought about it. "I'll ask my dad?"
Cough, cough.
Lu Ming coughed twice. "Forget it. Forget it."
One million yuan …
Old Jiang would definitely kill him if he knew about it.
That guy even haggled over the cost of teaching materials and equipment. How could he possibly buy the "Insightful Eye" for Xiao Bai, a "must-have" design for a card master?
Hehe.
One look and he could tell that he was not her biological father.
"Let's take another look."
Lu Ming decided to search for it at the Two Star level.
Two Star should have this kind of auxiliary ability. He just did not know how effective it was.
However …
Just at this moment, two people walked in. Lu Ming took a glance and his heart jumped a beat. The president of the Card Creators Association actually came personally!
"Hello, I'm Lu Ming."
Zhang Yang took the initiative to walk over. "I'm the president of the Card Creators Association in Qing Ming City."
"Yes."
Lu Ming smiled. "I've seen your black-and-white photo on the wall of the association."
Zhang Yang was speechless.
Why did his words sound so sinister?
At the thought of this, he glared at the assistant beside him. "Go back and change the photos on the wall to colorful ones!"
"Yes."
The assistant could only smile bitterly.
"This is what happened."
Zhang Yang briefly explained the situation of the exchange match and smiled bitterly. "We can lose but we can't lose the honor of Qing Ming City."
He sounded very sincere.
It seemed that the surprise attack by the Chong Yang branch had really made him feel bad.
However …
Lu Ming really had no other choice.
"Look."
Lu Ming released his energy.
Zhang Yang took a closer look at Lu Ming. Oh, Two Stars … Wait a minute, Two Stars?!
That was to say, even if Lu Ming were to take action, he could only fight Li Aiguo head-on. How could he be Li Aiguo's opponent in a confrontation of this level?
"I've just attained Two Stars. I'm too weak. Sorry."
Lu Ming felt ashamed.
"Alright."
Zhang Yang could only give up.
Back at the association.
Zhang Yang and the vice president glanced at each other.
Obviously …
No one expected that Lu Ming had already broken through and become a Two Stars Card Creator!
In fact, given Lu Ming's talent, it was very normal for him to break through. After all, he had already been a One Star Card Creator for a year. It was too long.
"It's my negligence."
Zhang Yang sighed.
"Then should we still let him participate in the Two Stars duel?"
The vice president asked.
"Forget it. It's meaningless."
Zhang Yang shook his head and focused his gaze. "Contact all the One Star and Two Stars Card Creators, especially those who are too old to join the association. Let them choose the most powerful one to represent us in the competition! Tell them that whoever wins can choose an ability of the same level from the card library!
"Our branch will pay!"
Zhang Yang gritted his teeth and said.
"T-this doesn't seem appropriate?"
The vice president swallowed his saliva.
Wasn't this asking for help? Although they would be pulled into the Card Creators Association before the start of the competition, they had only been there for one or two days. Even a fool would know what was going on!
This did not seem appropriate?
"What are you afraid of?!"
Zhang Yang glared at him. "The Chong Yang branch doesn't even care about its reputation. What else do you want? No matter what, it's better than losing. Humph, it's just a competition of shamelessness … "
"I'm not afraid of you!"
Zhang Yang sneered coldly.
The vice president was speechless.
Was this really alright?
At night.
The mission had just been released and a large number of Card Creators accepted it. After a strict evaluation and screening, they chose the most powerful Two Stars Card Creator.
"Welcome, welcome …"
Zhang Yang specially welcomed him.
However, when he looked up, his face instantly darkened. This was because he discovered that the so-called 'Most Powerful Two Stars Card Creator' was actually Lu Ming?
F * ck your mom!
Didn't they say that a new Two Stars was too weak?!
