Divine Card Creator Chapter 356 - Come, Let Me Give You a Check Up

Chapter 356: Come, Let Me Give You a Check Up

The shadow was very calm.

It was true.

Despite dodging one strike from him, this four-star guy before him was as weak and pitiful as a worm. He could trample him to death at any point in time.

Therefore…

He decided to trample this guy to death in one strike.

Of course.

He also found the struggle of the worm to be a relish.

He was a killer. He had started killing constantly since he was 16 years old and was already numb to normal a.s.sa.s.sination techniques.

He only derived pleasure when his opponent retaliated.

Well…

For example, this guy in front of him actually took out a card.

d.a.m.n. He is actually a Card Creator!

He had not expected this.

A Card Creator actually appeared in the World of Darkness and Shadows, a place of congregation for crimes and evil! Perhaps this was a Card Creator who specialized in creating Small Yellow Cards?

Tsk.

All of a sudden, he lost his interest.

This was because the so-called s.e.x crimes were jokes in the eyes of these killers.

Sigh.

Watching his attack shrouding the enemy, he suddenly came to his senses.

In other words, if he had known that this guy specialized in creating Small Yellow Cards, he would not have hurried to finish him off.

He would look at how much good stuff he had… He heard that a certain illusion that had a celebrity look-a-like was very popular in the community and a specialized Small Yellow Card series had been created.

It was a sheer pity.

This was what he thought.

Afterward…

He saw the card in the hands of that weak and small guy dissipating. It suddenly turned into a striking radiance…

What is that??

He felt an incandescent glow before his eyes.

Yes.

Incandescence.

And…

Scorching pain!!!

At the moment of that flash of white, he felt that something was amiss. It was because this was the World of Darkness and Shadows. It was a dark world!

Everyone there was made up of shadows!

Over there…

The entire world was also constructed out of shadows!

Why…

Why is there light?!!

Shus.h.!.+

The radiance swept over him.

He felt himself burning.

As someone who had not seen the light for many years, his eyes seemed to be bombarded with countless double images all of a sudden…

He then skipped a series of steps such as myopia, glaucoma, cataracts, and became blind directly…

Furthermore…

Before he turned blind, vaguely, he seemed to have caught a glimpse of the sun!

Sun?

Why is there a sun there?!

He had no idea.

He only felt his body burning constantly, as if it was in a fire stove. It burned until nothing was left of him.

Advanced six-star, defeated.

…

At this very moment…

Near the community.

The wardens were initially studying how to a.n.a.lyze the Shadow Combat Suit. Should they slice or intubate it or use some uncanny methods….

Suddenly…

Bang!

Not far away, in the suburbs, a sun appeared.

Yes.

It was a sun!

They were dozens of kilometers away from it but they could still feel its scorching brightness and intense discomfort. It was a power which did not belong to this world!

Bang!

The ground trembled.

They saw that small sun exploding. Afterward…

It engulfed the surroundings!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The surrounding mountains collapsed.

The surrounding rivers evaporated and dried up.

The surrounding shadows were extinguished.

In front of the scorching sun, all the powers formed by shadows melted like ice and snow. Even the high and mighty sky did not escape from this calamity.

Bang!

A dazzling light pillar rose to the sky and perforated the shadow-formed sky, causing a huge hole!!!

Bang!

A horrifying glow engulfed the entire place.

“Quickly hide!”

“Go into the house.”

People fled in fear and trepidation.

However…

There was no use.

Bang!

The radiance swept over and no one was spared.

House?

No way!

When sunlight swept over, houses constructed by shadows disappeared on the spot and none of the shadows hiding inside could escape. They evaporated and died on the spot!

Shus.h.!.+

The terrifying radiance was still sweeping across and vanquis.h.i.+ng the entire community.

The wardens fled in fear. bodies, which could live on eternally, were corroding and reforming constantly under the attack of this power.

After a long time…

The glow disappeared.

They managed to keep their lives.

However…

When they looked up, they were shocked and terrified to discover that one-fifth of the community had been destroyed and there was a neat fault.

The area which was engulfed by the radiance had turned into an abyss.

It was bottomless.

Everything above it had been erased…

“h.e.l.l… What kind of power is this?!”

The wardens were shocked.

To h.e.l.l with it!

They had never seen such a tactic?!

What was a shadow most afraid of?

Light!

As everyone in the World of Darkness and Shadows was formed by shadows, it was impossible for an ordinary person to cast any ‘light’ abilities!!!

An ordinary user was formed by shadows. How could they possibly tap on any other powers?

Light?

No way!

However, now…

Someone had managed to do it!

In fact, theshadows condensed by cultivators had already reached the stage whereby they could ‘walk under the sun’ and ‘disregard normal light’.

However…

This was not normal light!

That small sun radiated something that they were most fearful of – the power of light!

Its horrifying glow destroyed half of a small community directly!

Furthermore…

In the suburbs.

The wardens glanced around the suburbs. There was nothing except for an endless abyss…

Yes.

Because of the sudden appearance of this small sun, a terrifying and bottomless abyss which covered a wide geographical scope had been added to the World of Darkness and Shadows.

“Hurry!”

“Report this to the higher-ups! Immediately!”

The wardens were frantic and lost.

The development of the situation was far beyond their imagination. If someone could cast the power of the light boldly and fearlessly in this place…

They were shuddering at the thought of it.

Eternal life.

The World of Darkness and Shadows relied on this most.

However, this fundamental right had been affected now.

…

At this very moment…

Lu Ming was also dumbstruck.

This was what had happened. In his preparation to enter the World of Darkness and Shadows, Lu Ming drew this card specially. His thought was very simple. Since this was the World of Darkness and Shadows, the light from the Sunlight Card should have some restraining function? For example, doubling the effect of the damage and so on.

Since that was the case, the effect of his card would be more useful.

That was all he had thought about.

However…

Never did he expect…

The Sunlight Card, a very ordinary card in real life, would be that amazing in this place… It could burn heaven, the earth and the sky!

There was nothing left in all the places where the sunlight had been.

Yes.

Nothing.

There was nothing left…

Buzz—

Xiao-Xiaojian was suspended in the void.

Lu Ming glanced beneath his feet and there was only an endless abyss.

He looked into the distance.

All around him, he could only see a stretch of nothingness. It was an endless abyss and black hue beneath his feet. It was deep and unfathomable…

As for that six-star?

Nothing was left of him.

Was he the one who did this?

Lu Ming was extremely frantic.

In addition, the sky…

Lu Ming looked up.

Oh.

There was a huge hole in the sky.

Yes.

There was an endless black hole above him. As to what was inside the hole, he did not know.

“What does this mean?”

Lu Ming was puzzled.

“Uh…”

Xiao-Xiaojian thought about the scene of the light pillar shooting into the sky and then looked at the hole above. It pondered for a moment and thought of the terms that learned recently, “A-a pillar propelling into the sky? [1.A chinese idiom that refers to a person who can shoulder the important task]”

Lu Ming was speechless.

What c.r.a.p!

This was not the time to feel emotional. Such a major change had occurred to the World of Darkness and Shadows. It was more terrifying than the black lightning. They had to leave soon!

He reckoned that the big shots would come very soon!

However…

Just as he got up and was preparing to leave, he and Xiao-Xiaojian remained at the spot dazedly.

“Well…

“Do you still remember in which direction the community is located?”

Lu Ming sighed.

He looked at the surroundings and there was only endless darkness.

Xiao-Xiaojian was silent.

Who the h.e.l.l can orient themselves in this place?!

It was all black beneath and above them, as well as in the surroundings.

It was as if they were in a pure, black world. It was more difficult to identify a direction in this place than in the middle of the endless sea! How the h.e.l.l could one differentiate different directions?

“Give it a guess then. Your intuition is very accurate,” Lu Ming said.

“Sure.”

Xiao-Xiaojian casually picked a direction and led Lu Ming that way.

Lu Ming trusted it that much and it felt very touched. However, it was deeply suspicious that Lu Ming wanted him to be the scapegoat if they were to lose the way…

Swoos.h.!.+

A man and a card streaked across the darkness and disappeared.

…

Bang!

In the endless darkness.

One by one, big shots emerged. They glanced coldly at that place where the power of the sunlight had appeared with a furious expression. Someone actually brought in the power of the light.

Bang!

The shadow force surged!

Terrifying powers engulfed the entire World of Darkness and Shadows, seemingly representing the towering furor of the big shots. All the shadows’ connections with the real world were cut off!

The entire World of Darkness and Shadows was isolated!

Thump!

The wardens’ hearts jumped a beat.

They knew that the big shots were really infuriated!

They had forcefully disconnected the World of Darkness and Shadows from reality!

…

At this very moment…

The First Academy.

The teachers, who were collating the results, were horrified to discover that they had lost their connection with all the students. All the data froze in that instant!

“What is happening?!”

“I don’t know. The data has been cut off!”

“Is there a network latency again?”

“It’s possible. Let’s wait for a while.”

However…

After waiting for a few minutes, there was no data recovery.

All the teachers’ hearts were thumping wildly.

“Where’s the observer?” one of the teachers asked.

They had arranged for some teachers to enter the World of Darkness and Shadows. However, under normal circ.u.mstances, the teachers would not involve themselves in the compet.i.tion. They were only responsible for reporting the students’ situation.

“We’ve lost contact…”

The teachers then realized that something was amiss.

All their data had been disconnected!

“Should we forcefully wake them up?”

“No! Once we forcefully wake them up, everything that the students have done in the World of Darkness and Shadows will disappear. They won’t even remember what they have done!” one of the teachers objected.

“However, if this continues, I’m afraid that there will be danger to their lives.”

Another teacher was worried.

Who the h.e.l.l knew how long they would remain uncontactable?

If they could not wake them up…

“Report thi to the dean first.”

“Sure.”

The teachers reached an agreement temporarily.

Hence…

News reached the dean very soon.

The dean’s eyes were filled with doubts. “That…”

“Lu Ming is in seclusion at home.”

The a.s.sistant interrupted him. “You don’t need to consider him.”

The dean was speechless.

Alright.

Since that was the case, what else could he say?

“I didn’t mention him.”

The dean rolled his eyes. He didn’t say that it was Lu Ming.

“I can tell from your eyes.”

The a.s.sistant did not know whether to laugh or cry. “I feel quite bad for Lu Ming. This situation is totally unrelated and yet, you still a.s.sociate them with him and make him the scapegoat…”

The dean coughed and then took a closer look at the data from the investigation.

“What’s the data from before the disconnection?”

“The students have improved tremendously. They have gone all out and cultivated diligently to improve themselves in the World of Darkness and Shadows. They have at least advanced by one level! If we forcefully wake them up now, their shadows may disappear and the students’ combat abilities may worsen significantly,” the a.s.sistant reported.

Yes.

This was the problem.

The students who remained in the World of Darkness and Shadows at this time were the most talented ones!

If a problem were to occur and everyone’s progress was wiped out, the students’ abilities would deteriorate instead of improve. The school’s reputation would be badly damaged!

After all…

This was the graduation season!

He did not know how many forces were paying attention to the results!

And…

The on-campus job fair was waiting for them!

If these students who supposedly had shocking talents were disqualified because of a deterioration in their abilities…

They would have committed a huge mistake!

“How long can the life nouris.h.i.+ng cabin last?”

“Three days.”

“Three days…”

The dean nodded slightly. “Three days will be the limit then. It’ll be best if they can wake up in three days. Otherwise…”

He suddenly paused. “Is my Shadow Combat Suit ready?”

“It’s finished,” the a.s.sistant replied instinctively. He then realized that something was not right.

“Do you want to go? You can’t do that!”

What a joke!

Who would replace the dean?!

If he were to force himself into the World of Darkness and Shadows, he might never come back! There was a huge gap in combat ability between him and those big shots!

The ‘never come back’ referred here was not the shadow but…

“I suspect that those presences have already taken action.”

The dean’s gaze was firm.

Everyone had lost contact!

From the students to the users of the World of Darkness and Shadows!

The World of Darkness and Shadows covered countless communities and an ordinary warden would not be able to do this. There was only one possibility… Those beings had already taken action!

They had cut off the connections forcefully!

What is their motive?!

If they have really taken action…

Will these students merely suffer the loss of their shadows?!

He was afraid that it would be more than that!

Therefore…

He had to make a trip there.

“Perhaps they will wake up in a few days’ time,” the a.s.sistant smiled wryly and said.

The Shadow Combat Suit had a mandatory rule. Once a student was dead, they would return naturally! Regardless of what happened, they would transmigrate the World of Darkness and Shadows and return to the real world!

However…

This was on the premise that they could commit suicide!

They browsed through the latest data and realized that no one had come back for a long time.

“Two and a half days.”

The a.s.sistant said seriously, “Why don’t you go if the students did not wake up in another two and a half days?”

“Sure,” the dean agreed.

If he were to take action when nothing had happened, the situation might worsen.

Therefore, two and a half days was good timing. For him, half a day was enough to take action!

However…

His heart was filled with doubts.

The chances of those beings awakening during their cultivation were less than that of striking a lottery. Why was it that The First Academy would encounter this?

The World of Darkness and Shadows had been stable for many years. Why did something happen during the few days that they entered it?

What exactly had happened?!

…

At this very moment…

The World of Darkness and Shadows.

Because of the ball of light that had suddenly exploded, the entire world was in chaos.

One by one, the big shots woke up and sent people to investigate. Some big shots even made a trip in person to investigate the reason. From the wardens to the slaves of the big shots, they had received the purest command — Investigate that group of outsiders!

Yes.

They were not fools.

They were very certain that this sudden chaos had something to do with this group of outsiders. This was because it was impossible for the power of the light to come into this place through formal channels!

There must be a problem with these people.

“Prepare to study them.”

“Yes.”

“Study their bodies and then review the shadows formed by this kind of special channel. Find out the differences between them and the shadow guests who came in through the formal channels!”

“Understood.”

“Have you prepared the tools?”

“The gastroscope is ready.”

“The endoscope is ready.”

…

The shadows prepared their tools calmly and waited for the wardens to begin their research. The research this time was extremely important. The big shots were waiting for the outcome!

In the room.

The students dangling off the ceiling finally felt frantic.

d.a.m.n!

What are these people holding in their hands?

It looks…

It looks very thick.

“Old Gao! Old Gao! Quickly think of something!”

Wu Hongfei was shocked and terrified.

“What can I do?”

Gao Tianlang felt puzzled too. “Right, I remember that someone was able to use the dialog boxes to smash people… Get him to scold them! Smash this group of shadows in front of us!”

A student fell silent for a long time before saying, “My mouth is stuffed.”

Shus.h.!.+

Everyone was silent.

Oh.

Right…

There was a ball stuffed in their mouths.

They could not shout out any complete dialog boxes and could only communicate through the Shadow Combat Suit.

“Why don’t you try saying ‘A-ahh’ or something like that?”

Wu Hongfei suggested.

Under the circ.u.mstances of something being stuffed into their mouths, they could in fact still shout something through the dialog boxes. However, they were merely words of struggle or something similar.

That student was silent for a long time. “It won’t be effective.”

The effect of a single word was too weak.

The rules that he researched were about increasing the weight of the dialog boxes. The bigger the font size and the higher the word count, the greater the impact. Furthermore, their powers were restricted now…

He could only control his own dialog box.

“How do you know before even trying?”

Wu Hongfei said indignantly, “Way to go! If you succeed, you will be our hero!”

Right then…

All the students looked at that student in antic.i.p.ation.

“Let me give it a try then,” that student said listlessly.

Hence…

When the staff members approached them, he suddenly began to struggle and dialog boxes popped out above his head. “Ah… Ah… Ah… A-ah…”

“What is happening?”

The staff member looked dumbstruck.

“Perhaps he’s saying that it’s coming?”

His companion was deep in his thoughts.

“What?”

The staff member looked at the endoscope in his hands. “But I have not even inserted it.”

“It’s normal. I heard that nowadays, there is a group of people called netizens in the human society who like such things. The psychological simulation far exceeds the physiological stimulation.”

His companion looked as if he was very knowledgeable in this area.

“Alright.”

The staff member looked at the endoscope. “Will this endoscope be effective then?”

“Maybe not. Change to a bigger one,” his companion said.

“It makes sense.”

The staff member was deeply convinced.

Hence…

They took out an endoscope that was as thick as a torch.

The students were speechless.

Was this a joke?!

They looked at that student simultaneously. He had shouted for a long time.

d.a.m.n. Hurry! Smash them!

However, the student was still yelling ‘Ah…”.

Of course.

To be more precise, this was called spell chanting.

Hence…

When he saw that staff member pressing the student down on the bed and inserting an endoscope, that student’s dialog box finally ended.

Bang!

Rows of dialog boxes with the word ‘Ah’ were launched towards the staff members.

Cras.h.!.+

There was a deafening sound.

The dialog boxes plummeted suddenly, smas.h.i.+ng and crooking the heads of the staff members.

Shus.h.!.+

There was pin-drop silence in the room.

The students were speechless.

Expressionlessly, the staff member looked on as the slanted bangs which he had styled in the morning were destroyed… He then turned his gaze toward that student who struck him.

That student was silent.

“Look.

“I told you it’s not effective,” that student explained listlessly through the Shadow Combat Suit.

The students were speechless.

This was not just ineffective!

“Since you still have powers, we’ll start from you.”

The staff member released the student they had caught earlier and looked at the student who struck them. They then waved the torch-like endoscope in their hands.

The student turned ghastly pale immediately.

…
