“You mean you were just testing the power of a move you accidentally learned, and then that happened? But you’re only a Mid-Tier One!!!”
The brawny man stared dumbfounded at Lu Chenxing. He was the owner of this martial arts hall, a Tier Three powerhouse named Lei Li, and true to his name, he was a martial artist who specialized in body tempering.
Lu Chenxing, on the other hand, displayed a harmless yet slightly embarrassed smile and said, “Boss Lei, I’m really sorry for causing damage to your martial arts hall…”
“No! This is not a loss!” Lei Li looked at Lu Chenxing with burning eyes and asked, “First, tell me, is what you said really true? I’ve never seen a magic spell with such great power at Mid-Tier One!”
“It’s really true…” Lu Chenxing thought for a moment, then added, “This magic is called Bombardment Art. Although it’s powerful, it requires a long preparation time and cannot be interrupted during that period. It might not be as useful as you imagine.”
Upon hearing this, the excitement on Lei Li’s face lessened considerably. He then clicked his tongue and said, “So that’s how it is. What a pity. But if that’s the case, I can understand it.”
“Previously, some people also obtained such powerful, but long-winded, spells that were basically useless in actual combat. They were tasteless to eat and a shame to discard…”
At this point, Lei Li sighed, “Alas, I originally wanted you to teach this magic to my daughter. She’s about the same age as you this year and is studying in the magic department at Super Martial University. She’s just a freshman, and she has an assessment in a few months, so I wanted her to have a few more trump cards.”
“But since it’s a useless skill, then forget it. As for the damage to the martial arts hall, that’s nothing. After all, you are Tier One, and the spell you used must also be Tier One. Although the formation was broken, that’s our martial arts hall’s problem, you don’t need to worry.”
Hearing that he didn't have to pay compensation, Lu Chenxing breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little goodwill towards Lei Li in front of him, secretly thinking that he would definitely come to patronize his business again next time!
After chatting for a few more sentences, Lu Chenxing bid farewell. He had already gotten the answer he wanted, which was that his knowledge from his previous life could be put to good use!
The power of Bombardment Art was unexpected, but although it was powerful, the preparation time was too long. If only it could be cast instantly…
Suddenly, Lu Chenxing froze for a moment, then quickly walked towards the Card Maker shop. The shop door was tightly closed until an hour later, when a Bombardment Art energy mass, more than twice the size of the one in the martial arts hall, floated in Lu Chenxing’s hand.
Looking at the energy mass in his hand, Lu Chenxing couldn't help but swallow. If this exploded in his hand, he could directly bid farewell to this beautiful world.
Looking at the Tier One original card held in his left hand, Lu Chenxing was a little nervous. He didn't know if he could succeed, but this was indeed a good opportunity to make a name for himself!
The Card Maker profession requires one to make or purchase original cards, then seal skills within them. An energy circuit will then appear on the back of the card. After that, one only needs to re-engrave the energy circuit onto a disposable blank card to reproduce the skill.
Once one learns how to engrave energy circuits, they can mass-produce and sell cards!
And what Lu Chenxing had to do now was the first step: sealing Bombardment Art into an original card!
As magic power connected with the blank card, the card emitted a soft glow. Lu Chenxing shouted without hesitation, “Seal!”
A soft glow flashed, and the Bombardment Art in Lu Chenxing’s right hand disappeared, sealed within the card. Then, an image appeared on the front of the card: a wind-attribute air sac enclosing an unknown liquid, with a red light flickering at its center.
And on the back of the card, the energy circuit began to form!
Lu Chenxing’s face lit up with joy at the sight. “It succeeded!”
The success of this attempt meant that Bombardment Art no longer required those complex materialization processes for its creation, but could instead be directly released from the card!
This Tier One original card was indeed worthy of being used by his father when he was young; its quality was truly impeccable, capable of sealing even such a powerful spell…
Just as Lu Chenxing was thinking this, the energy circuit finished forming, but before Lu Chenxing could examine it, a crisp “crack” sound appeared!
Lu Chenxing’s heart also skipped a beat with that sound. A black crack spread downwards from the upper right corner of the Tier One original card, almost reaching the lower left corner…
He froze there, nervously watching the original card in his hand, praying that it wouldn't explode!
Whether his prayer worked or for some other reason, the original card lay quietly on his fingertips, showing no sign of exploding.
After waiting for a moment, Lu Chenxing carefully placed it into the “Energy Testing Room” next to him, then quickly closed the door and let out a long breath!
This energy testing room could withstand a Tier Seven energy impact, so his life should be safe!
At this moment, his face was pale, and his back was soaked with cold sweat. Never had he felt so close to death!
Leaning against the door and panting for a moment, Lu Chenxing picked up his phone and posted on the Card Maker forum!
“Brothers, I’m new to the industry. Just now, when I was sealing a spell, my Tier One blank card seemed to crack. What’s going on?”
After posting, Lu Chenxing turned off his phone, ready to look for information, because he thought no one would reply so quickly. But the next second, his phone vibrated.
He picked it up and saw that a netizen named “QQ Meimei Delicious Taro Boba Milk Tea So Good It Makes Your Feet Curl” replied:
“【Eye roll】 Bro, you just started in the industry and you’re already posting stuff like this? Learn something decent! We’ve already played these tricks to death!”
Lu Chenxing looked bewildered. “What do you mean?”
“It means your Versailles-style boasting isn’t working anymore. Those are old tricks, no one believes them!”
Now Lu Chenxing was even more dumbfounded. “Versailles? What exactly do you mean?”
The milk tea netizen seemed annoyed by the question and directly said, “First, take a picture of the cracked original card you mentioned, and I’ll tell you.”
After thinking for a moment, Lu Chenxing returned to the entrance of the energy testing room. Through the glass on the door, he saw the original card lying quietly on the ground, conveniently face up. So, he took out his phone, snapped a picture through the glass, and sent it over.
A moment later, the milk tea netizen sent three exclamation marks.
“!!!”
“An unknown image, buddy, you’re not really serious, are you?!”
Lu Chenxing replied helplessly, “It’s true! I was scared to death. It’s a compound-attribute magic spell. I threw it into the energy testing room before it exploded!”
“Holy cow! Holy cow! Brother! No, Big Bro! You’re truly my Big Bro! This is an ultimate card!”
“Ultimate card? What does that mean?”
“It’s a card that approaches the theoretical limit of the maximum power a Tier One can unleash!”
