Card Making: My Card Game Starts with the White Dragon

As Zhou Hao watched the Card Master Association staff carry a new two-meter-long Card Potential Testing Chamber in from outside, he stood over to prepare to continue testing.

The students around him continued their tests, but many of them still glanced at Zhou Hao from time to time.

"Is this Zhou Hao the son of some card-making master? He already has two cards at this age?"

"No way, families with elders wouldn't let him do such reckless things."

"However, this card looks even better than that 'Calabash Brothers' card."

"His painting skills are so good, he has captured my essence perfectly."

"Hahaha, what's that croaking toad?"

……

Zhou Hao ignored it and continued filling in the information for [Third Prince of the Jade Dragon of the West Sea, Ao Lie].

He made such a big splash today, it's hard for him not to attract attention.

Ma Ling'er, who was standing to the side, had been cleared out of the venue after completing her test, which gave Zhou Hao a lot of peace and quiet.

"Alright, let's begin the test."

As soon as he finished speaking, the hatch closed.

Ao Lie seemed to be immune to emotional fluctuations, still holding his longsword, standing in the cabin like a swordsman detached from the world.

Everyone subconsciously moved further away from the cabin where Ao Lie was.

The staff also frequently glanced nervously at the machines behind them to check on their operation.

Especially the young lady who greeted Zhou Hao.

When she saw Zhou Hao walking towards her again, the young woman was somewhat devastated.

After much effort, the boss finally believed that a prospect had smashed through the school's metal wooden floor when he summoned a blue card.

Then, right after he finished the phone call, this kid came back and filled the [Card Potential Testing Pod] to bursting!

For a moment, she thought she was under an illusion.

However, the acrid smoke and chaotic scene told him that this was actually real.

Haha, I can only pick up the phone again and rack my brains to convince my boss that I'm mentally sound.

Now, she can't help but reach for her phone whenever she sees Zhou Hao.

"My ancestors, please don't cause any more trouble! The lives of working people matter too!!"

However, Murphy's Law tells us that the more you pray something doesn't happen, the more likely it is to fail.

This often becomes a reality, and may even escalate into something worse.

……

Mr. Wang, who is over fifty years old, is the school's dean of students. He is usually stern and has an authoritative demeanor, so much so that many teachers are afraid of him.

However, at this moment, Teacher Wang was wearing a uniform from the Card Masters Association and sneaked in furtively.

It's all because Teacher Wang has a unique skill called [Yin Lei Xuan Ci Gang], which can release an invisible magnetic force.

This magnetic force is extremely damaging to electronic equipment and can easily penetrate the cabin and intrude into pipelines.

Then, with just a thought, these magnetic forces would unleash a burst of dark thunder, destroying the machine.

Teacher Wang is usually frugal, and he mostly uses this magnet to help the school repair computers and such.

On this trip, however, he was there to destroy equipment worth tens of millions of dollars.

Teacher Wang felt a pang of heartache, but she couldn't disobey Principal Zhu's orders.

"Sigh, it's all about money!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Teacher Wang activated his ability, instantly covering several [Card Potential Testing Pods] with magnetic force.

Just as Teacher Wang was about to detonate it, suddenly,

"Bang"!!

The Card Potential Testing Chamber, where Ao Lie, the Third Prince of the Jade Dragon of the West Sea, was located, exploded open.

This explosion was even more violent than the last one, blowing all the instrument parts to pieces.

Teacher Wang was shocked.

What's going on? I haven't even made a move yet!!

However, things happened suddenly. Teacher Wang, a card maker with high moral character,

Instinctively, he immediately activated the [Yin Thunder Magnetic Force] to intercept the bursting hatch and parts.

Some people were more cautious and had already summoned their cards. The moment they heard the loud noise, they hid behind their card creatures.

However, many people still didn't realize what was happening. Of course, Zhou Hao was not among those who didn't realize what was happening.

Once bitten, twice shy.

How could Zhou Hao, who had just experienced a cabin explosion, not take precautions?

He had given Ao Lie instructions in his mind long before Ao Lie entered the cabin.

"If this cabin explodes in a moment, prioritize protecting the people inside the venue; don't worry about me."

Boss Zhou was truly afraid of this happy trouble; he had only been lucky before and hadn't hurt anyone.

If the card's potential is too high and blows up the cabin again, he must ensure that the people around him are not harmed.

He himself possesses the supernatural power of indestructibility, which others do not.

If something goes wrong during the explosion, it could lead to making enemies, causing financial ruin, and so on.

"Hmm? There's outside help? Even the clerks are card makers?"

Zhou Hao also noticed the staff member who was over fifty years old and huddled in the corner.

"There are still more good people than bad."

However, the worker seemed to be struggling; he appeared to be able to only control large sections of the hull and parts.

Small bits and pieces, like screws and nuts, shot out like bullets and scattered in all directions.

Many students and staff members who were queuing or registering nearby were at risk of being hit.

Moreover, given this distance and acceleration, its power is comparable to that of a bullet.

Those qualifiers who had cards were alright, since they had been strengthened by cards once, so even if they were injured, it wouldn't be fatal.

But these card dealer association clerks are all ordinary people. If they are hit in a vital spot, they could very well die.

Amidst the ear-piercing explosion, a screw shot straight toward the temple of the young woman who had been helping Zhou Hao with the registration.

Zhou Hao reacted instantly and lunged at her with all his might, blocking her path.

Zhou Hao watched as the screw gradually enlarged in his pupils. In this critical moment, Zhou Hao seemed to sense the flow of spiritual energy.

His eyes seemed to be undergoing a different change, and Zhou Hao understood.

That's because the part of myself that was about to be hit had already activated the [Divine Power - Indestructible Vajra].

"This skill is really bugged. It can automatically protect the body, but can it even protect the eyeballs?"

And since the hardening starts from the hit area, can I control this skill to only harden the hit area?

Would this reduce the mental energy consumption of the [Supernatural Power - Indestructible Vajra] technique?

In less than 0.5 seconds, Zhou Hao's mind raced, and he came up with some different skill attempts.

Meanwhile, Principal Zhu, who had already arrived at the entrance of the venue, witnessed Zhou Hao leaping to save the staff member.

Although he was old, he still saw the screw that was very close to Zhou Hao's eyeball.

"Oh no!! Such a promising talent has been lost; it's unlikely we'll see another one like him for at least a century!!"

Principal Zhu was not known for his speed when he was in Jinghai Military Academy, even with the physical attributes of a master card maker.

It was also impossible for him to sprint more than ten meters in less than a fraction of a second to stop that screw that was almost touching Zhou Hao's eyeball.

Just as Principal Zhu was already thinking about how to deal with Teacher Wang for his incompetence, suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"Zheng!!"

A clear, resonant sword cry echoed throughout the arena, followed by streaks of white light, like strands of hair, exploding from the center of the exploded hull.

……

Seeing the wisps of white light, Zhou Hao breathed a sigh of relief; things were stable now.

[Ao Lie, the Third Prince of the Jade Dragon of the West Sea] has made his move!!

Immortal form!! [Six Meridian Divine Sword]!!

……
