Chapter 107: Rule-changing Threat

“Are you able to understand the concept?” Teacher Lee asked.
“Yes,” the students replied in unison.
Lu Ming exclaimed out of amazement. These were students of The First Academy indeed. Look, if it was students from the school at the crossroad, most likely they would not be able to understand. These people actually grasped the concept after hearing it once!
They were only second to him. Bravo.
“That’s good,” said Teacher Lee smilingly. “Next, I will draw the lines. Everyone, please take a good look... When I draw, you can try to get a feel for it.”
Shush!
Shush!
Teacher Lee began to draw.
One could not deny that Teacher Lee’s foundation was really very good.
When she was drawing, the lines were very solid. At one glance, one could tell that it was very stable. Very soon, lines akin to a circular ecology structure emerged from her hands.
“This is a structure that can withstand three standard lines.
The lines here are like that...
The lines over here are like this...”
Teacher Lee explained every line. “Come, everyone, please try it.”
Shush!
Shush!
The students began to draw.
One could not deny the wonder of such a learning method.
A profound concept such as the rotary island coupled with the teacher’s explanation and guidance of the technique, and personally witnessing her drawing...
Shush!
Shush!
Lu Ming also started to draw.
“You have to be steady.
Right, slow down.
Sometimes, we pursue speed for the sake of achieving greater efficiency but other times, we pursue stability for the sake of a stronger effect!” Teacher Lee explained.
“What are the basics?
It’s the effect created by drawing one line.
I know everyone may have heard too many metaphors for this, including tall buildings and so on. But this time, I want to tell you that one basic line is actually a road!
The same road!
Some people will draw and create a dirt road!
Some people will draw and create a concrete road!
Some people will draw and create an asphalt road!
If I put it this way, can you understand?
All these roads can be open to traffic. However, there are great differences in speed, stability, and flow. With an increase in traffic, differences will become increasingly apparent!
And this...
is the cultivation of the foundation of a Card Creator!
Beginner Card Creator, Intermediate Card Creator, Advanced Card Creator...
The professional certifications not only test one’s knowledge and reserves of the Card Creator profession but are also an assessment of one’s foundation. Only the qualified pass the certification process!
Why is this structure a high-level Card Creator technique?
This is because the intermediate Card Creators are unable to pick this up at all!
Even if they learn the technique and create the architecture, it can only withstand one or two lines. Almost no one can succeed!
Think about it.
Energy needs to pass through this road once!
At this moment, won’t the impact be weaker if the road is unstable and the speed is not fast?
Therefore...
Being a high-level Card Creator is the minimum prerequisite.
Of course, ordinary high-level Card Creators typically create three basic lines. It took me quite a while to achieve four basic lines...”
The concept was clear!
Lu Ming was stunned and amazed. He was very attentive because the teacher was teaching something very important.
He had benefited a lot.
The knowledge that he picked up from the teaching methods of the training institutions where he was from was less useful than what he could learn from self-study. In contrast, the teachers of The First Academy obviously had a deeper understanding of the subject.
Foundation...
Lines...
Roads...
Lu Ming’s hands did not stop. He continued to draw while digesting these concepts as part of his comprehensive study from various sources.
He drew very slowly.
His speed was really very slow.
Precisely, just as some youngsters had said, at times, we pursue efficiency and at other times, we pursue only the effect.
But now...
What he wanted to do was to utilize all the strengths of his foundation and conscientiously draw this rotary line and make it stronger and sturdier!
To enforce the stability of the structure!
After a long time...
Lu Ming completed his drawing.
A complete energy structure card emerged.
At this very moment...
Most of the students had also finished drawing.
Most of the students in the class were two-star or three-star Card Creators and they were rather talented. Hence, they did not have a problem creating a similar line following to the teacher’s explanation.
It was just that the effect...
“It seems that everyone has finished drawing.”
Teacher Lee was very satisfied. “I will pick a student and test it.”
Cough.
One by one, the students lowered their heads.
They were new to this and theirs were certainly failed products. No one wanted to go onto the podium and embarrass themselves.
“You!
Yes, you!”
Teacher Lee suddenly smiled and said, “That good looking young guy at the back.”
Fine.
He knew that he could not escape.
Among a group of fat homebody Card Creators who did not fancy exercising, the handsome face of Lu Ming was that eye-catching.
“Come here. I will help you to test it.”
After taking Lu Ming’s card, Teacher Lee took a closer look at it. “Not bad. Judging from the card face, it is quite stable. Next, let’s check out the effect.”
Shush!
Teacher Lee input energy to test the stability of this circular line.
One standard line, stable.
Two standard lines, very stable.
Well...
Three standard lines, still stable.
Eh?
Teacher Lee was a little astonished. He actually succeeded just like that?
“Students, did you see that?” Teacher Lee said emotionally. “This student picked up a high-level technique successfully in his first try. Moreover, he is only a two-star Card Creator!”
Those new students’ eyes widened.
He had really learned it?
That outstanding?
“Not bad.”
Teacher Lee was very satisfied.
It was rare to encounter such a positive example.
However...
She instinctively continued to input more energy... Eh? It was also stable for four standard lines?
Wait a minute...
She continued to input more energy.
The energy flow for five standard lines was also smooth. The circular ecology structure was still very intact with no signs of collapsing. It was extremely stable.
Teacher Lee was dumbstruck.
F-five lines?
It was stable?
T-this...
Try again?
Teacher Lee continued to test numbly. She only stopped when the card showed vague signs of collapsing.
Oh.
It could not withstand six lines!
That was still alright, alright... Alright? To hell with it! This was already very scary, okay?
What did it mean?
Even high-level Card Creators typically created three lines for a start.
Five lines?
What the hell was five lines?
“Student...”
Teacher Lee was at a loss for words.
She looked up. Every student had a dumbstruck expression on their face. They had witnessed teacher’s earlier action and knew that the technical structure created by this classmate could actually withstand five standard lines!
“Are you sure that this is the first time you’re learning this?”
Teacher Lee’s expression was perplexed.
“Yes.”
Lu Ming nodded earnestly.
It was really his first time!
That was right. After all, he was only a two-star Card Creator.
Wait a minute?
He was only a two-star Card Creator?
After pondering, Teacher Lee’s heart ached even more.
She turned back to take a look. The most scary thing was... These two-star or three-star students were staring blankly at the card in Lu Ming’s hands and then at their own card.
Boom!
Boom!
One by one, everyone tested their card, which collapsed in moments.
One line, two lines...
None of the cards could withstand three lines!
She had no choice.
In fact, this was very normal.
After all, those who created cards that could withstand three lines were considered to have mastered this technique and very formidable. However, why did a two-star Card Creator manage to learn it?
Everyone was breaking down a little emotionally.
“Self-study.”
Teacher Lee sighed.
The lesson ended gloomily.
The novices who were initially in good moods looked downhearted and even doubted life slightly.
Two-star...
Were two-star nowadays already so powerful?
Had they become useless even before they attained three-star?
Weren’t they supposed to be geniuses?
...
The second lesson.
The high-level technique class was a major subject with successive lessons.
The students were still learning hard. However, they were unable to successfully draw the lines and looked visibly more hot-tempered and emotionally unstable.
“This won’t do,” Teacher Lee muttered to herself.
By the afternoon, these kids would suffer a full emotional meltdown!
To these gifted students, the appearance of a super-genius was too much of an impact! Furthermore, this was the first high-level technique class that these novices came into contact with!
If this were to continue, what would happen in the future?
She had to think of a solution.
He looked at Lu Ming’s profile. Oh, visiting student?
Well...
An idea came to her mind very quickly.
“Hey, you!
Right, it’s you. You did quite well during the last lesson. This time, come and personally draw the lines for everyone to see.”
Teacher Lee asked Lu Ming to come forward without further ado.
“Huh?”
Lu Ming was puzzled.
Even though I am good looking, you can’t keep asking me!
However, the teacher had already spoken. As a visiting student, obviously, he was not qualified to object. Hence, he could only go onto the podium obediently and draw on the blank card.
This time...
All the students focused their attention on him.
Well...
Teacher Lee took a glance. The card created by this child was very stable.
Not bad!
However...
Sorry, I can’t let you succeed this time!
Teacher Lee felt a little apologetic. She had no choice. Who told you to be a visiting student? She could not let a visiting student destroy the morale of the students! Although she felt a little guilty, she had to make Lu Ming fail once! This was the only way that those affected students would regain some confidence.
Well...
The Interference Card in her hands dissipated quietly.
At this very moment, Lu Ming, who was drawing the card, could obviously sense that something was not right. His eyesight turned a little blur and his mind was suddenly in a poor state.
Did he stay up late too frequently recently?
Or perhaps a student did something to him?
This would not do!
He could not embarrass Teacher Lee!
Teacher Lee requested him to give a demonstration, how could he embarrass himself? Hence, he entered the familiar Sea of Consciousness, faced the black cat and gave it a stroke.
The black cat woke up, looking dumbstruck.
Again?!
Bam!
It hit Lu Ming with its tail.
Lu Ming returned to reality and his state of mind recovered very quickly.
Shush!
Shush!
A card was successfully created.
“Very good.”
Teacher Lee had a smile on her face. She had disturbed him. This time, the lines that he had drawn should not be that stable anymore?
Hence...
Feeling at ease, she started to input the energy.
Shush!
Three lines standard energy input, stable.
Four lines standard energy input, stable.
Five lines standard energy input, stable
Six lines standard energy input, stable.
???
Everyone was dumbstruck.
Even Teacher Lee did not regain her senses after a long time. T-this... He actually improved!
How could that be possible?!
“You...”
Teacher Lee looked at Lu Ming in disbelief.
“I practiced during the last lesson. Hence, I am more familiar with it now,” Lu Ming explained.
The teacher was speechless.
Those new students stared blankly at the card, which was still struggling between one standard line and two standard lines, in their hands. Suddenly, they felt their heart turning cold.
Look, other people had five standard lines the first time he learned this and six standard lines after just one lesson!
What about them?
Two lessons and they had not learned it!!!
Good-for-nothing!
They were really useless!
So, this was the super genius?
So, so-called geniuses like them were all trash?!
So, two-star Card Creators could be amazing to such an extent?!
These novices suffered a total emotional breakdown.
Hence...
The second lesson ended with an even gloomier atmosphere.
Teacher Lee’s face was black. What happened?
Clearly, she had asked Lu Ming to come on stage to make him fail. He unknowingly succeeded and even improved?! The Interference Card was a fake one, right!
This was merely a two-star Card Creator!
Two-star!
However, looking at Lu Ming’s puzzled expression, what else could she say?
It was already very embarrassing to use an Interference Card on a student. Furthermore, the other party had not done anything wrong. She could not bring herself to chide Lu Ming now...
Alright, she would do that!
This group of kids who had suffered a blow could recover, right?
She was very doubtful.
After all, this was The First Academy!
In theory, they were the top geniuses!
But now?
They had been thoroughly defeated by a visiting student.
Ring—
It was dismissal time.
The novices left silently as if they had just participated in a memorial service.
