Chapter 389 Tian Du City Has Fallen
Tian Du City.
Sword Card Master Association.
Lu Ming was in the midst of his research on the Art of Equalization.
He would leave it to Li Haoran to handle the situation about the Snow Mountain Sect.
As the president, he had to spend the bulk of his time researching the core abilities of the Sword Card Master!
At present, Zhong Chu was in seclusion and striving to attain seven-star, whereas the other disciples were steady six-stars. Lu Ming had to improve his combat ability as soon as possible and catch up with most of the association!
However...
He was stuck at peak four-star and his cultivation had not been progressing due to his talent. The only thing he could do was to quickly gather enough talented disciples and then attain a breakthrough!
However...
This could not be rushed.
The college student enrollment had not begun and the Sword Card Master Association was not that famous yet. They could only gradually work on publicity.
Therefore...
Lu Ming had been researching The Art of Equalization during this period. He had many questions about this mysterious technique passed down by the ancient legacy.
For example...
Could the Art of Equalization be removed?
How could one calculate how long the Art of Equalization would be in effect?
What would happen if the disciples left the association?!
Wait a minute.
He had too many questions!
He had to master these rules of the Art of Equalization before he gathered enough disciples!
Hence...
A man and a card began their research. After Xiao-Xiaojian’s deduction and the legacy content of the Art of Equalization, they finally gained some understanding.
First, the Art of Equalization could not be removed.
Basically, if one were to cast the Art of Equalization on a certain force, this person would be bound to this force for life. Each person would only have one opportunity to utilize it.
There was no other way.
Second, if the disciple were to leave the association during the period, this disciple’s talent would return to normal.
The foundation of the Art of Equalization lay with the person who cast the technique. After one was bound, their fate would also be tied to the association.
Third, the period of time for the Art of Equalization to be in effect was dynamic equilibrium.
After the Art of Equalization was cast, it would maintain a dynamic equilibrium between the caster and the equalization. It would adjust according to the situation of the association!
This meant that one’s talent would be in a dynamic state.
The greater the cardinality, the more stable it would be.
The addition and departure of each disciple would also affect the caster’s talent.
...
All of the above.
In fact, these rules were very simple. The pavilion master of the Breeze Pavilion did all of this in the past.
However...
The same ability would have a different effect in the hands of different people! Especially, when this ability was in the hands of Lu Ming and Xiao-Xiaojian...
Therefore...
A man and a card began to contemplate a question that they should not be considering: How would they maintain this dynamic associating talent equalization ?!
When the disciples joined them, would there be changes to the talent?!
When the disciples leave them, would there be changes to the talent?!
What did it rely on?
What was its basis?
Metaphysics?
No way!
The ancient people were feudal and superstitious but not them!
Ghosts and evil spirits...
To put it bluntly, they were all driven by some kind of force?!
No force in this world was without a base. Therefore, based on Lu Ming’s thoughts, it was highly possible that this was associated with a certain mysterious and powerful force!!!
If he were to describe this... It would be akin to the signal between heaven and earth?
Of course.
Cell phones were connected by 4G and 3G networks. There had to be something more sophisticated, such as a 9G equivalent or something, for the connection between heaven and earth.
There must be a certain channel to maintain this equilibrium.
Well...
Since there was a signal, there would be a way to shield it?
Nowadays..
Even radiation could be shielded against?
There should not be a problem shielding a 9G signal, right?
Hence...
As a programmer, Lu Ming would not let any ‘bug’ that he had discovered escape. He and Xiao-Xiaojian began to deduce fervently and came up with a final analysis —
There was a special metal that could greatly affect this kind of signal!
The deduction data was changing!
This meant that...
If they could control the quantity of this kind of metal, the Art of Equalization would lose its effect temporarily! It was similar to the use of lead bricks to shield radiation!
“Done!”
Lu Ming’s heart jumped a beat.
This meant that the situation could still be salvaged if he were to accidentally do his disciples in...
“You’re only that capable?”
Xiao-Xiaojian was contemptuous.
“You’re the one who said that.”
Lu Ming rolled his eyes.
If this guy had not been attacking his self-esteem everyday, why would he research this?! Nevertheless, with this, he felt more comfortable casting the Art of Equalization now!
He had no further worries!
“Should I try it now?”
Lu Ming was in high spirits.
With this, he could try to attain a breakthrough!
If this were to fail...
Cough.
Or perhaps if he were to really drag down the talents of his disciples, he could use the special metal to shield the signals temporarily and then activate the Art of Equalization again when there were more people!
“Okay,” Xiao-Xiaojian agreed.
If this was successful, Lu Ming should be able to reach five-star!
It was such a waste of time to be stuck at four-star!
However...
Before Lu Ming could cast the ability, Li Haoran brought him news — Elder Sun had run away.
This was how things were.
When on his way to the insurance company, Elder Sun received a message. With a quiver, he opened the cap of a well and jumped into the sewer...
When they chased him, he was already gone.
The well cap was also gone.
Lu Ming was taken aback.
Damn it. He had heard of water shields, earth shields but not of well-cap shields?
“Did they deduce his whereabouts?” Lu Ming asked.
In this era, the tracking tactics were not only restricted to those on the surface.
“They have tracked him down, however...”
Li Haoran felt helpless. “After we finished making the deductions, he had already bought a flight ticket and arrived at the endless sea... We reckoned that he is now drifting on the sea.”
Lu Ming was speechless.
This was crazy!
What else could he say?
This was Crazyracing Sun, indeed!
“Keep a tight watch on your new junior sister.”
Lu Ming sighed.
The situation.
To put it bluntly, the Snow Mountain Sect coveted their card spirit. It was neither considered a big nor small matter. The Snow Mountain Sect had already been exterminated. What else could they do?!
However...
There had to be an end to this matter.
“I’ve already sent someone to keep a watch on him.”
Li Haoran scratched his head and paused for a moment. “Master, actually, this is not that urgent. We have encountered other problems now.”
“What?”
Lu Ming was surprised.
Besides the leaking of the secret skill, were there other things going wrong?
“Look at this.”
Li Haoran sent an article to him.
Lu Ming took a glance and his scalp instantly felt numb.
Damn!
There is trouble!
...
Tian Du City.
The snow avalanche situation was still in the news.
On the high and snowy mountains, the rescuers rushed to the site rapidly and saved the buried cultivators. They then learned of some special events.
Hence...
The policemen took action and directly detained all the higher-ups of Snow Mountain Sect when the latter were in the ambulance.
In the end...
The Snow Mountain Sect was wiped out.
At the same time, this big news was reported in the various mainstream news channels of Tian Du City. People were shocked to discover that the Sword Card Master Association had become popular again!
“A Snow Avalanche Triggered by a Chant. All Thanks to the Sword Card Master Association!”
“Imprisoned for 20 years. When I was in Utter Despair, I Chanced Upon the Incantation of the Sword Card Master Association!”
“Snow Mountain Sect, Their Evil and Sins Buried Under the Gleams of the Snow.”
“I Don’t Know If This Incantation Will Result in the Birth of a Card Spirit, I Just Know that It has Given Me Hope.”
...
Sword Card Master Association?
The people in Tian Du City were slightly puzzled.
Seriously...
They were aware of the snow mountain.
That was a special mountain range. As the altitude was high, snow accumulated on it all year-round. Although it was only about a few hundred kilometers away from the city, the environment was completely different from Tian Du City’s.
A mysterious force was rumored to be present there.
It was just that...
What did this have to do with the Sword Card Master Association?
They went through the news and realized that the incantation in the video was in fact the secret skill of the Sword Card Master Association! It was the incantation for the birth of card spirit!
To put it bluntly—
That was the foundation of the Sword Card Master Association!
According to what the Snow Mountain Sect disciples had said, the higher-ups stole the secret skill of the Sword Card Master Association and wanted to experiment with it. This resulted in the snow avalanche. They then had the chance to escape!
Of course.
These things did not interest them much. They were more concerned about the secret skill!
The birth of a card spirit!
As residents of The First Academy, most of them had heard of the Sword Card Master Association! This was especially true since the video of the on-campus job fair of The First Academy had been widely circulated.
How powerful is the card spirit?
How many functions does the card spirit have?
They were extremely curious!
And now...
They had seen it for themselves!
Although this secret skill incantation was very odd, according to the disciples of the Snow Mountain Sect, their undercover mission had succeeded and this incantation was real!
Hence...
Everyone in Tian Du City became very excited.
What would happen if their vocation core could also give birth to a spirit body?
“How about giving it a try?”
“Anyway...”
“I won’t get pregnant trying this, right?”
People were tempted.
Hence...
After the snow avalanche, a strange and mysterious situation occurred. In the huge Tian Du City, one could hear voices reciting everywhere.
“Hammer, hammer, you have already grown up. You are a mature hammer! You have to learn to cultivate and smash other people by yourself...”
What the hell was this?!
Thankfully...
These things were still known to the public. The most uncanny situations were those which involved the Energy Warriors.
“Thigh, thigh, you have already grown up. You are a mature thigh! You have to learn to cultivate and kick people by yourself...”
Of course.
There were more uncanny ones.
It was very terrifying!
A cultivator who had returned from an expedition thought that the entire city was under a curse. He even called the police...
→_→
Of course.
After finding out more about the situation, the misunderstanding was cleared. This cultivator was immersed in his thoughts as he looked at the entire street of people reciting.
What is wrong with this world?!
Yes.
Everyone was reciting!
Since it was reported that someone succeeded, they thought they might have a chance... Although they knew that the success rates were very low. They still wondered, what if?!
What if they were to succeed?
Most importantly, there were no costs involved!
Anyway...
One would not become pregnant by trying it, right?!
Hence...
Everyone began to try this out, adopting an attitude of buying lottery.
Tian Du City had completely fallen.
...
Right then...
There was dead silence in the Sword Card Master Association.
Seriously...
They were shocked.
During their several attempts to go out today, they ran into reporters who wanted to interview them. Even Li Ergou who had concealment ability did not manage to leave. On a few occasions, he almost had microphones shoved into his mouth...
There was a choice.
There were too many people!
In the end, they tried getting their Original Cards to go out, buy groceries and cook to scrape a living. Afterward, they discovered that these lunatic reporters also blocked the Original Cards...
The reporter, “Hello, Mr Card Spirit, may I know how you’re born?”
The Original Card was silent.
The reporter, “The secret skill about the birth of the card spirit which is going around... Does it work?”
The Original Card was silent.
The reporter, “In that case, you’re admitting to it?”
The Original Card was speechless.
The Original Cards went berserk.
In the end...
Even the Original Cards holed themselves up at the association and did not go out.
...
