Divine Card Creator

Chapter 335: Equalization! It Exists In The Universe!

Somewhere.

After being beaten up, a ragged teenager was thrown out of a door.

“With this talent of yours, how dare you dream of joining our sect?”

“That’s right! Look how useless you are!”

“You are, after all, a good-for-nothing!”

“To cultivate, one needs to be able to perceive the universe and have exceptional talent. Given your talents, what can you perceive? You are simply a loser!”

People mocked him while they watched the teenager curl up like a wild dog.

In this day and age, the cultivators were deemed superior to everyone.

They existed like gods, far above everyone!

Though people came up with ‘spirit root’ and all kinds of terms to describe their talent, in essence, it was the ability to perceive the universe!

Even if one was only talented in one area, as long as one had exceptional perceptual abilities, one could still cultivate!

As for the teenager...

He was very special but not that special either.

Geniuses were all the same, while there were many types of fools.

He was one of the fools who could not cultivate—But his talents were so equally balanced that it was shocking!

The so-called talent was in essence one’s perception of the energy flowing in the universe. This was also the basics and foundation of one’s cultivation!

No matter what vocation one chose, it involved the perception of energy!

If one could not perceive energy, then there was no way to cultivate!

Therefore, it was impossible for him to cultivate.

He was a loser.

The simplest kind of loser.

Hence... he left with hatred inside him.

He went looking for all kinds of cultivation methods, including jumping from a cliff, burning books, sucking blood, killing and eventually, he found the solution in a dilapidated gateway—Equalization!

It was very amazing.

In the world of deductions, impact factors generally referred to the impact something had in the world. In theory, everything had its own impact factor!

One’s looks!

One’s combat abilities!

One’s family!

Furthermore...

One’s talent!

Yes, there was a unique ID for everyone’s talent!!!

The equalization’s only ability was binding! It could confuse the mysteries of nature and deduction, resulting in two talents that were bound together and became one!!!

That day, the teenager went without sleep.

He was excited.

He knew his lucky chance had arrived!

He found an unrivaled genius and cast his ‘equalization’ ability.

He remembered that the genius scored nine and above for many different abilities. He was one of the top-notch geniuses! Therefore, he bound himself to the genius...

Afterward...

He discovered to his dismay that their talents had been balanced out and they each had a score of five.

Hence...

After the integration of one genius and one loser, they both became two mediocre people.

From then on, they were done for.

...

It was only then that the teenager knew this was what the Art of Equalization was truly about!

As such...

He spent ten years trying to find a solution.

In the end, he found a way. If the target of the equalization was not a human, but an organization, the effect would be balanced out!

The impact would be much smaller!

This meant that if he chose a very powerful and talented organization...

The genius who he had bound himself to became depressed because of the large drop in his abilities and he had died in the end. The effect of the equalization had ended and he could finally rebind!

Hence...

He chose the most powerful force to bind with him.

Henceforth...

The teenager became more powerful.

He went from nothing to calling the shots in his field, becoming the brightest genius of his era!

Unfortunately, with the introduction of the Scout vocation, it became harder to use the binding effect of the Art of Equalization.

These were not ancient times when there were no Scouts.

Deduction?

Everyone was capable of making a deduction!

If he wanted to bind with someone, it might backfire on him!

More powerful geniuses had ways to counterattack deduction abilities. If he tried to bind by force, the power might rebound and most likely cause death!

Hence...

His equalization ability became useless!

It was only possible to bind to ordinary forces!

However...

Among these organizations, only a few had talented disciples and most of them were mediocre. There were even a number of in-name disciples. If their talents were balanced out... All of them would become losers!

Hence...

The equalization ability became obsolete until... it landed in the hands of the pavilion master of the Breeze Pavilion.

He was aware of the drawbacks and limitations of the equalization ability as well as the possibility of it backfiring. Therefore, he founded the Breeze Pavilion and carved out a world for himself!

Since there was no way to bind to others...

It was alright, they would create one!

Since there were no gifted disciples... they would look for them in the mountains and villages!

They would go in search of uncut jade that had yet to be discovered!

He had spent ten years traveling around various mountainous areas, finding people who were gifted but had not cultivated yet to join the Breeze Pavilion.

Hence...

He rose to success.

He reached seven-star with his unheard of useless talent, shocking everyone!

Of course.

He was the last inheritor of the equalization.

This was because this ability would be useless in the hands of others. Very few people were as determined and resolute as the pavilion master of the Breeze Pavilion!

Hence...

The equalization ability eventually became obsolete.

...

Shush!

Lights and shadows flashed.

The memory from the legacy disappeared.

Due to the appearance of the mysterious enemy, the ball of light from the legacy became smaller. What was left of the legacy was merely its core!

Lu Ming was deep in his thoughts and he took a long time to recover.

“Amazing!”

This was his only thought.

He never imagined that someone would work on deduction to change their ability! But he had to admit that the transformation was more like a deception!

It would be lying to the universe!

He also did not expect that someone would do such thorough calculations around the idea of ‘balancing out’ with another person!

What did balancing out mean?

The average height of Old Pan and Old Yao was one hundred and ninety six centimeters!

The average annual salary of the people working in the capital exceeded one hundred thousand yuan...

This might sound unbelievable but it was the truth.

Lu Ming remembered that in his past life, he was a burden to the country...

At times, he would even cause trouble for his country.

Normally, averages were only meant for statistical uses, but in that era, in the hands of the powerful cultivators, they turned the ‘average’ value into a reality!

They even gave it a grand name, “Art of Equalization!”

What else could Lu Ming say?

Of course.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this ability was useless!

Who could one use the ability on?

The Energy Warriors Association?

No.

In ancient times, as one had to be four-star and above to be considered a cultivator, people who could cultivate were already very talented. Under such circumstances, the average talent was very low!

In this age, where many people were one-star, if one used the equalization ability...

The outcome would be scary!

Of course.

The reason why the so-called deduction industry kept expanding and the Art of Equalization gradually became ineffective... was very easy to understand.

In ancient times, there were no buildings, no rooms and people did not even wear clothes. One could see everything with one glance.

But now?

There were hotels, hourly rate hotels...

Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.

Cough.

Lu Ming coughed.

Anyway, it was very difficult to achieve binding. Various associations had blocked the possibility of using the equalization ability.

Therefore...

The ability was deemed useless for everyone...

Except...

Lu Ming.

He was very lacking in talent.

Even if he used all sorts of methods and had various encounters, he was aware that he was really a mediocre person!

Of course.

It did not pose a problem at present.

What was the difference between a four-star, five-star and six-star?

If one was in a lower realm, one could make up for it with different abilities!

If one could not defeat the other party with basic abilities, one could use advanced abilities and surmounting abilities! If one still failed, one could flip the table! No matter what, there was a way to kill the other party!

However...

What would happen afterwards?

There was a huge gap when advancing to a seven-star!

It would not do if one was lacking in talent!

It would not do if one had bad comprehension skills!

What could he do about it?

He was desperate!

Why was it that Xiao-Xiaojian was beaten up when he mocked Lu Ming for not being able to break through to seven-star?

That was because it was the truth!

This was after all not a world where one’s looks meant everything. Even if Lu Ming was handsome, he was merely a pretty face. He could not possibly achieve success through seducing ladies.

It was too shameful!

But now...

There was the equalization ability.

The so-called useless ability was simply cut out for him—he was a man who owned an association!

“If I’m not mistaken Xiaobai is a female?”

Xiao-Xiaojian wondered why he sounded as if he owned all the men in the association?

Lu Ming suppressed the urge to kill it.

Damn it!

He would teach it a lesson sooner or later!

“Equalization...”

Lu Ming continued his train of thoughts.

Looking at the members in the association. Xiaobai, Xiaoyan or even Li Haoran, not even Zhao Yunshan was more talented than he was!

Therefore...

If he used the equalization ability, Lu Ming’s talents would increase!

From then on, Lu Ming’s talents would be equivalent to the average talent of the Sword Card Master Association!

Lu Ming looked forward to it.

Of course.

This would not do for now.

If he wanted to use this ability, there had to be more members in the Sword Card Master Association!

With the few present members, once Lu Ming used the equalization ability, everyone’s talents would drop drastically and this might affect their cultivation!

This was too deceitful!

It was true that Lu Ming wanted to become more talented, however the premise was he must not affect others’ foundation!

If the Sword Card Master Association had thirty and above talented disciples, after he applied the equalization ability, they would not be too affected by it!

This was what Lu Ming wanted.

Well...

There was nothing wrong with that!

So from now on, Lu Ming had to recruit more disciples!

The more talented the better!

...

At this very moment...

Somewhere.

Lu Yan was cultivating amid endless frost and snow.

Qiu Shuyi lazed around next to her. She projected a screen and looked at it while occasionally wiping her tears...

It was too touching!

The female lead fell in love with her biological elder brother!

And she had cancer!

The elder brother’s brains were damaged from a car accident!

He lost his memory!

“Oo... it is so touching.”

Qiu Shuyi had tears in her eyes.

Lu Yan pretended not to hear her.

She did not know what to say about her master.

“Why don’t you go back home to watch this?”

Lu Yan sighed.

“I can’t.”

Qiu Shuyi smiled and looked at her. “Xiao-yanyan, don’t try to send me away. What if you cannot help but self-destruct after I leave? You must restrain yourself.”

Lu Yan was speechless.

She wanted to know... why her master could not return that item without any reason...

However...

At this moment.

Qiu Shuyi changed the topic. “The child from the Tian family has reached intermediate six-star.”

“I know.”

Lu Yan’s expression was calm.

“You should be aware of his power.”

Qiu Shuyi squinted. “Given the child’s prowess, his combat abilities will reach peak six-star. This will be a tough fight for you!”

“I know.”

Lu Yan still maintained a calm expression.

“You know nothing!”

Qiu Shuyi rolled her eyes. “If you self-destruct again, you will seriously fall behind! Although you have always been better than the others, all these people are just as gifted as you!

“Understood?”

It was rare that Qiu Shuyi was so serious.

“Understood.”

Lu Yan nodded slightly.

“As for Little Lu Ming...”

Qiu Shuyi paused briefly. “You should know that it is impossible for him to reach seven-star!”

Lu Yan fell silent.

She was very clear about her brother’s talent.

When Lu Ming was five years old and he ran about with open pants, she had already brought him for testing. Her brother had very weak combat abilities!

Therefore, no one disagreed when Lu Ming eventually chose to become a Card Creator.

Their only hope was for Lu Ming to lead a safe and peaceful life.

Of course.

As for his recent experiences...

Lu Yan’s expectation of her brother had changed from leading an idle life to becoming a peak six-star!

If her brother could reach peak six-star, very few people would dare to bully him. Even when in danger, he would still be able to protect himself.

Therefore...

She was supportive of Lu Ming’s cultivation.

It was just that...

Seven-star?

It was a huge hurdle.

Many gifted cultivators might be stuck at six-star forever.

Lu Ming?

This was impossible!

She and Qiu Shuyi were clear about this.

“You have wasted too much time and energy on him.”

Qiu Shuyi felt helpless.

She was a good disciple except that she was very protective of her younger brother!

She went to great pains to get Lu Ming to enroll at The First Academy. For Lu Yan who was re-cultivating, it was simply a disaster!

Therefore...

She had to stay put to make sure that the girl did not leave to check on her brother.

“I know what I am doing.”

Lu Yan sounded very calm.

“Only fools would believe you!”

Qiu Shuyi sneered.

This girl only knew how to lie to her!

But then again, this girl had had a hard time. She was his elder sister and his parents...

“Didn’t you tell him about your parents?” Qiu Shuyi asked.

“There is no need for him to know about this.”

Lu Yan’s expression was indifferent.

Qiu Shuyi rolled her eyes.

She really felt like pressing the girl down onto an icy bed and spanking her bottom...

Forget it.

Lu Ming would not cause too much trouble.

The graduation season would start in one and a half months. By then, Lu Yan would have left Tian Du City and there would be no more trouble.

Hence...

Qiu Shuyi changed into another comfortable position, lazing around on the bed to continue watching her shows.

Goodness!

The female lead is blind!

The elder brother donated his cornea to her. It’s so touching... Ooo...

The second male lead has appeared!

He is the biological younger brother of the female lead! It’s so exciting!

...

At this very moment...

Sword Card Master association.

Lu Ming finally mastered the Art of Equalization after working on it for two days!

The Art of Equalization was not too difficult. After all, the teenager who had not been through cultivation was able to learn it. It would be easy once one understood the essence of deductions!

Afterward...

He would begin to take in disciples!

According to Lu Ming’s calculation, he would need at least thirty disciples to ensure that while he improved his talents, there would be no impact on the others!

To put it bluntly, it was about equalization.

“Haoran.”

“Yes.”

“How’s the recruitment of new disciples going?”

“It is making progress. The Human Resources Department is making the arrangements. All we have to do is to wait for graduation season to start!”

“Very good.”

Lu Ming was very satisfied.

On-campus job fair...

He must be well-prepared!

Initially, the Sword Card Master Association participated in the job fair to have fun and to get a good bargain, now that he had learned the Art of Equalization...

He had to go all out for his future!

So what if it was the Energy Warriors Association?

Or the Elementalists Association?!

There was nothing to be afraid of!

Hence...

Lu Ming began to ponder hard about this.

He had yet to figure out a way when Li Haoran hurried over in a panic. “Master, something serious has happened!”

“Is someone here to make trouble?”

There was a murderous intent in Lu Ming’s eyes.

Right now, the Sword Card Master vocation was his lifeblood!

He would kill anyone who tried to mess with them!

“No.”

Li Haoran wiped his perspiration away.

“The Original Cards in the spirit body department are in a fight!”

Lu Ming was speechless.

The Original Cards?

In a fight?

Damn, are you kidding me!

...
