Chapter 77 - It Turned Greener and More Powerful

Chapter 77: It Turned Greener and More Powerful

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was very late at night.

When Lu Ming arrived home, Xiaobai was sleepy-eyed and waiting for him.

“You’re not asleep yet?” Lu Ming asked.

“Waiting for you.”

Casting a suspicious gaze on Lu Ming, Xiaobai got closer to him and sniffed. Her nose instantly wrinkled. “Master, you smell awful.”

“Uh.”

Lu Ming scratched his head. This was most probably the smell of the smoke and dust from the cemetery?

“It’s alright.”

He waved his hands.

“That won’t do.”

Xiaobai pushed Lu Ming into the bathroom. “Quickly go and bathe!”

“Alright.”

Lu Ming could only smile bitterly.

Xiaobai was normally very obedient but she could be a little stubborn at times. Lu Ming did not mind too. He simply had a great bath.

After he finished bathing. Xiaobai had already fallen asleep while sitting.

“This child…””

Smiling, Lu Ming carried Xiaobai to the bed before he went to rest.

He did not stay up late to study the cards today. Although the card that Chu Xiao gave him might be very useful, he did not want to wake Xiaobai up with the noises.

At night.

Time quietly passed.

The next day.

When Lu Ming woke up early in the morning, he heard that something major happened last night.

A group of drug traffickers was passing through the cemetery to buy drugs when they encountered the supernatural. For the sake of their personal safety, the first thing that they decided to do was to call the police.

Lu Ming, “o(╯□╰)o”

What else could he say?

In the past, he had heard of a case of drug traffickers calling the police in a fit of anger after being cheated in a deal. He thought that this was already amazing enough. He did not expect to hear something even more amazing now.

This boundless world has all kinds of strange things!

After breakfast.

Lu Ming then fished out the card given to him by Chu Xiao.

Well…

This was certainly a one-star card.

However…

Lu Ming felt that something was not quite right when he looked at this seemingly ordinary one-star card. Chu Xiao was very solemn and serious when he gave him the card.

Well…

“Shall I try sealing it?”

Lu Ming felt energized.

He took out the Original Card and aimed it at the card from Chu Xiao.

Buzz—

A green light surrounded the card and dissipated into countless green particles.

Wait a minute…

Lu Ming widened his eyes!

Green?

It was green?!

Something was not right!

Didn’t cards typically dissipate into energy from white particles? Since when did green fluorescent lights appear upon the release of a card? This ability…

Lu Ming suddenly realized what it was.

He began to browse the discussion forums on techniques and searched for the information related to green fluorescent lights. After going through dozens of useless crap, he finally found something that he wanted to see.

Advanced ability!

Green florescent light!

“Advancement?”

Lu Ming took a deep breath.

He knew about advanced abilities.

In the past, the Energy Shield cast by Fu Hongming turned into an Energy Mecha due to advanced ability. It was very powerful and even the Teacher An duo was not its match!

Hence, the power of advanced ability was far from ordinary.

However…

Lu Ming had never thought of that…

The advanced ability sealed in the card could actually be transformed! Due to the high density of energy condensation, it could even cause the particles to emanate green fluorescent lights!

This was entirely different from what he had imagined.

He had to know…

Initially, he had thought that after the Energy Armor was sealed, it would still be an Energy Armor Card. Judging from this, this ability of Fu Hongming, after being sealed, would also become an Energy Armor (Advanced) Card!

“Advanced ability…”

Lu Ming browsed the web for more its related knowledge and information.

The so-called advanced ability referred to the transformation of the basic ability! In addition, the so-called advanced typically meant surpassing the previous level by another level!

Theoretically, an Advanced Card held by a one-star cultivator could compete with an ordinary two-star card!

Advanced Card was much more powerful than ordinary cards. It could be even stronger than higher-star cards due to its great power and also ultra-low energy depletion rate!

This point was critical.

And now…

Lu Ming only had one Advanced Card, which was the gift from Chu Xiao, in his hands.

“Phew—”

Lu Ming took a deep breath.

The appearance of the advanced card had opened new doors for him.

He started to check for related information. Under normal circumstances, only four-star and above Card Creators would come into contact with these kind of things… However, now…

He had come into contact with it.

It was akin to school.

When one first learned mathematics, one would be aware that there were more mathematics knowledge to be picked up in university. However, how many people out there knew the content of the mathematics syllabus in university?

Euclidean space?

Hilbert space?

Coordinate transformation and base conversion?

…

No.

One was not aware.

One might not know of them even after graduation.

And now…

Lu Ming was in a predicament.

Through his shabby knowledge, he conscientiously searched for related information on the topic and finally found a list of recommended books on foundational knowledge.

Well…

“Related Knowledge and Thesis on Card Hierarchy Theory”, ten thousand yuan.

This was one of the books in the wide knowledge literature collection of the Card Creators Association. Lu Ming glanced at the price and decided to buy it without hesitation.

Hierarchy…

Sealing…

Advancement?

That’s right.

Card Creators also had advancement techniques!

If Card Creators only had the basic sealing ability, how could they possibly develop into such powerful characters?

In the book, Lu Ming read that a powerful Card Creator could even transform an ordinary technique card into a powerful advanced card!

It was simply amazing and powerful!

Of course.

In this book, whether a Beginner Card Creator, Intermediate Card Creator or Advanced Card Creator… They were all in the process of picking up new techniques constantly. All were at their most basic levels.

Lu Ming was speechless.

After conscientiously reading this book, he realized that he had been too complacent.

He even dared to read these kind of books now!

Of course.

This book was all about theories.

It did not include the technical aspect. It was solely to widen Lu Ming’s knowledge.

It turned out that…

This was what a real Card Creator was about!

Of course.

After digesting this information, Lu Ming’s gaze landed on the card in his hands again.

Advancement, surmounting levels… Lu Ming did not know much about these techniques. Most likely, he was not qualified to learn them too. He would rather focus on studying this card.

It had turned green and also become more powerful.

“Chu Xiao asked me to investigate his past?”

Lu Ming thought about it.

Could he find out about this ability from his past?

Lu Ming then browsed the Internet and was instantly stunned. Due to Chu Xiao’s special status, information on the few abilities of Chu Xiao was actually available on the web!

What was Chu Xiao’s profession?

A unique Elementalist!

The so-called ‘unique’ referred to niche professions that could not even be classified into an occupation group. They were thus categorized as ‘unique’.

Chu Xiao’s ability was Isolation Film.

The effect…

Well…

It shielded blue light, radiation and prevented fingerprints.

Yes.

In his teens, he provided services for pasting screen protectors or films on electronic devices at the school entrance. He would summon the Isolation Film and then paste it on the devices for hard-earned money.

He had been in this line of work for several years until the day where his ability advanced!

The Film Magic evolved.

It not only isolated blue light and radiation but also a very powerful thing.

Hence…

Using his advanced ability, Chu Xiao studied and invented a series of abilities. He had become increasingly powerful ever since. His combat ability was frightening!

Magic Film!

He summoned a real tempered film in the air that could block the attacks of magic.

Defense Film!

It could cover any part of the body with a layer of thin-film and stop all breath, aura, and ability from getting out.

Suffocation Film!

It could simply mask the enemy’s face; the top choice of a sadomasochist.

Cloaking Film!

It enabled lights to penetrate and cover oneself to become invisible.

…

Wait a minute.

Lu Ming was amazed.

This was very powerful!

This was his first thought.

This was so frugal!

This was his second thought. With this ability, one could even save on condoms…

He was good.

Lu Ming took his hat off.

It was no wonder Chu Xiao asked him to browse the Internet. Look, his history said it all.

Therefore…

Lu Ming glanced at the card in his hands.

The card given to him by Chu Xiao was his most basic Isolation Film?

What did he mean?

Lu Ming was a little puzzled. Did he want him to provide screen protector pasting services or sell condoms?

Well…

This was something worth pondering.
