Card Making: My Card Game Starts with the White Dragon

Principal Zhu was worried that Zhou Hao would be injured by the flying screws, but suddenly he felt a very subtle and sharp aura emanating from the venue.

This aura felt as if a sword blade was pressed against one's face, causing a slight stinging sensation on the skin.

Looking at its source, one sees that behind Zhou Hao, the Third Prince of the Jade Dragon of the West Sea, Ao Lie, has his eyes slightly closed and his right little finger lightly tapping the scabbard.

The next second, the longsword in Ao Lie's arms hummed and was drawn three inches from its sheath.

In an instant, a jade-white light exploded within the three-inch blade, and brilliant sword lights, like silk threads, emerged from the scabbard.

These sword lights did not shoot straight into the sky like rays of light, but rather meandered and danced in the air like flowing water or strands of hair.

In an instant, the entire venue was illuminated, and the previously concealed sharpness was now omnipresent.

All the flying parts and screws were precisely intercepted by these wild, elusive, thread-like sword lights, without missing a single one.

In just a moment, the screws and small parts, like bullets, clattered and fell to the ground, no longer posing any threat.

Principal Zhu picked up a screw at his feet, only to find that it had been cut in half from the center.

The cut was smooth and even, as if the screw had been shaped like that when it left the factory.

"To have such a skill on the very first card, he's not much worse than that kid Guo Chen."

As the principal of the only card-making high school in Shanhai City, he has nurtured countless talents throughout his life, and his vision is naturally extraordinary.

Principal Zhu had already realized that Ao Lie, the Third Prince of the Jade Dragon of the West Sea, who had been standing behind Zhou Hao earlier, had not actually drawn his sword.

Instead, he transmits the energy in his body to the sword through his right little finger.

The energy was as fine as silk and as gentle as rain, but when combined with the sword, it was imbued with the sword's sharp, metallic aura, becoming both sharp and resilient.

Ao Lie manipulated these silken, string-like sword energies using that sword that was only three inches from its sheath.

And control each wisp of sword energy to quickly spread along the path that the screws must take, just waiting for them to shoot.

These filamentous sword energies are not particularly powerful.

But it was just enough to cut through those screws that flew like bullets.

Such maneuvers are perhaps not uncommon at his level.

But as the first card for a qualifier, that's way too overpowered.

However, this is also because Principal Zhu has not read "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," otherwise he would have been able to recognize that Ao Lie's move was not his own creation.

Its prototype is the Shaoze Sword from the Six Meridians Divine Sword.

In the original work, the Shaoze Sword involves circulating internal energy through the Small Intestine Meridian of Hand-Taiyang and then shooting it out through the little finger of the right hand.

The transformed sword energy is fine, flexible, and elusive, excelling at blocking the enemy's retreat.

However, it was remarkably similar to the move that Ao Lie was using at this moment.

Just because Principal Zhu doesn't understand doesn't mean Zhou Hao doesn't understand.

His first thought was of the "Six Meridian Divine Sword" concept from the original work.

However, the [Shaoze Sword] technique used by [Ao Lie, the Third Prince of the Jade Dragon of the West Sea] was more than ten times stronger than that of Duan Yu in the original work.

Zhou Hao stood up from the ground, helped up the frightened staff members, and thought to himself:

"No wonder the card description says: Zhenhai Jade Dragon, the Immortal Sword of Immortality. The sword of an immortal is indeed different from that of a mortal."

At this point, although the venue was in a mess, there was no longer any danger.

Thanks to the intervention of [Ao Lie, the Third Prince of the Jade Dragon of the West Sea] and Teacher Wang in the corner, none of the students or staff present were injured.

But it's obvious that compared to Teacher Wang hiding in the corner, the Iceberg Sword Immortal Ao Lie's move is more conspicuous.

The entire accident took only a few seconds; many people didn't even have time to react.

However, some strong and sharp-eyed individuals did manage to spot Ao Lie's attack.

The students had already begun to whisper and murmur among themselves.

"What was that skill just now? It was so cool!!"

"Not only are the cards cool, but the skills are cool too. Is this what genius is all about?"

"What are you guys talking about? What kind of skill is that? I felt like someone just threw a flashbang at me!"

"Are these really the first batch of trainees to be selected for card production? Blue cards are one thing, but two of them?"

"Why do his cards seem to be on a completely different level from ours? The blue cards I remember aren't like this!"

"Nonsense, who remembers a blue card blowing up the [Card Potential Testing Chamber]? Or even blowing up one card at a time?"

"We're doomed! Anyone who runs into this guy in this year's freshman competition is going to get whipped around like a top!!"

"Oh no, the principal is here..."

Zhou Hao listened to these discussions without any emotional fluctuation.

Only when he turned around and saw the principal at the door did he go up and greet him.

"Principal Zhu, this is..."

Before Zhou Hao could continue, Principal Zhu pointed to the wreckage of the [Card Potential Testing Pod] and said:

"This Penguin machine is of poor quality and almost hurt you. Don't worry, the school will definitely help you get an explanation from Penguin."

Seeing that Principal Zhu didn't seem to understand what he wanted to ask, Zhou Hao leaned closer and lowered his voice to ask, "Do you want compensation?"

Principal Zhu's obese body trembled slightly, clearly not expecting Zhou Hao to care about this.

He then lowered his voice and said, "No compensation, but there is after-sales service."

……

In the end, Zhou Hao's entrance card test ended with the destruction of two [Card Potential Testing Chambers].

Principal Zhu said that Zhou Hao's card information needed to be reprocessed, so the junior card maker certificate would be delayed for a few more days.

However, Zhang Shan can give him the mental circuit diagram for the [Skill Card] tomorrow, and Zhou Hao's reward for sacrificing himself to save others will also be brought over.

Zhou Hao felt a little embarrassed to accept the reward for sacrificing himself to save others.

He did save people, but it's hard to call it selflessness. After all, Zhou Hao has the [Divine Power - Indestructible Vajra], so that scene was nothing to him.

Principal Zhu was deeply moved and insisted that Zhou Hao accept the award.

At the same time, Principal Zhu also told Zhou Hao that the school would keep the news under wraps and try to minimize the subsequent impact of the incident.

He even dragged Zhou Hao to his office to chat for a long time about his experiences in card making.

After a night of work, Zhou Hao felt that his shortcomings in card-making knowledge had been largely filled.

When Zhou Hao returned to his dormitory, it was already past nine o'clock at night.

He lay in bed, swiped open his phone, and finally managed to clear away all the notifications for the day.

However, it was discovered that the original group for "Shanhai City Card-Making High School Pre-selection Students" had been disbanded.

He was added to a group called "Boom Beach Class 1", which had more than 30 people, including Ma Ling'er and Zhao Lei.

Zhou Hao quietly watched Zhao Lei and a guy named Zhang Yaoyang flooding the group chat. After a while, he was about to turn off his phone and go to sleep.

Suddenly, a conspicuous group announcement popped up.

"Meet at 8:00 AM tomorrow downstairs in the boys' dormitory to proceed to the military training location."

Military training lasts for 14 days. Students must not maliciously harm their classmates and may not withdraw from the training unless in an emergency.

After the military training, the top three students will be eligible for the "Mountain and Sea Class" and enjoy more favorable training resources.

Students in the [Mountain and Sea Class] will gain access to explore the new secret realm [Sun and Moon Island].

During military training, instructors will act as bosses, accepting challenges; successful challenges will directly earn a spot in the "Mountain and Sea Class."
