The Card Creators Association.
After a lot of ups and downs, Lu Ming finally met the real lecturer.
This was the first teacher that the manager recommended to Lu Ming. The teacher was more cost-effective. Although there was only an 80% probability that the students mastered restriction, the teacher had a fairly good reputation.
It was just that…
Lu Ming did not expect that the teacher was not a Card Creator.
Yes.
The teacher was an Elementalist.
Lu Ming pulled a long face. He wanted to know how did this person receive a teaching task from the Card Creators Association and became their teacher?!
“Don’t be surprised.”
Teacher Zhao smiled. “The Card Restriction is a niche industry and there are not many students. Therefore this is usually a part-time position… the Card Creators Association merely provides us with a platform.”
Lu Ming was speechless.
O-outsourced?
Could they even outsource this kind of job?!
“Don’t worry.”
Teacher Zhao knew that he was doubtful and went on to reassure him. “The part-time tasks that I took on usually include Introduction to Card Restriction, Introduction to Enchanted Restriction and teaching of other techniques. I have taught over one hundred classes of introductory teaching. Besides, I have looked through your information, you are good at self-learning. This is very suitable for me.”
“Really?”
Lu Ming was skeptical.
This was Card Restrictions!
If you did not know anything about it, how could you conduct classes?
“Of course.”
Teacher Zhao smiled but did not say anything.
“Straighten your back!”
He snarled and lights surged in his hands, hitting Lu Ming’s chest.
Buzz—
There was a turbulence of energy.
This moment, Lu Ming felt that everything in front of him transformed instantly, the world seemed to become clearer, he could even see some light particles.
This feeling…
Ancient One!
“Was it you, Ancient One!?” Lu Ming yelled inside his head.
“What Ancient One are you talking about?”
Teacher Zhao stared at him with a weird expression before he took out a set of Restriction Cards.
“Watch closely!”
Teacher Zhao gave a low roar.
The set of Restriction Cards shot out from his hands.
Shush!
The cards spread out in the air, forming a complete series of Restriction—this was a sealed Card Restriction.
This was…
Lu Ming exclaimed in shock.
In front of him…
The teacher, the Association and everything else disappeared in front of him, leaving behind a clear energy path. The energy flow of the set of Card Restrictions had never been so clear before.
Lu Ming watched clearly as the energy flowed and he could see each and every route.
Again and again.
Lu Ming finally saw for himself how the lines operated.
It was a simple restriction that was formed by energy and therefore it was not as stable. The Card Restriction was a special restriction that was formed with the card at the center!
Numerous restrictions surrounded and covered the card!
Countless lines cut through the card.
These were the energy lines.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe energy lines of every restriction had to run through the card!
Half of them were formed by the energy restrictions!
While half of them were formed by card lines!
It was useless if one simply cracked the restriction algorithms! If the energy could pass through it, it would revive through the card lines!
Theoretically.
Unless the card was destroyed, one could never crack the restriction!
How to destroy it?
1. Violent destruction.
2. Physical deception.
How to deceive it?
The core card was simply an “open” card.
Unlike traditional closed cards, this card was full of energy lines running in different directions and various algorithms leading to the restriction!
At this point…
How to create a completely opposite card?
There was no need to consider the energy restriction for the lines of this card. One only needed to complete all the half-drawn lines!
For example—
There were nine restriction algorithms in Teacher Zhao’s Card Restriction!
50% of them were card lines!
In the Decryption Card, one only needed to complete the missing lines of the card lines, and carefully linked it with the core card of the restriction.
At this moment…
The energy that should be flowing into the restriction would flow into the Decryption Card.
The lines were completed!
The self-destruction of the card was completed!
Cards…
The cards would dissipate naturally!
“So, that was what happened.”
Lu Ming’s eyes lit up.
The so-called Card Restriction was to use the card lines to replace part of the restriction effect. The academic term was “partial transformation to card”.
For example—
The original 100% of the energy restriction might transform into the Card Restriction that consisted of 20% card lines and 80% energy restriction; or 30%, 70% Card Restriction!
Anyway—
One could use part of the card lines to replace the energy restriction and that would be the Card Restriction!
What about cracking it?
You had to complement and complete the card lines!
Didn’t you want to transform it into a card?
Very well.
You could transform the entire restriction to a card!
In general, a card would dissipate directly after being cast!
This was the core method to crack Card Restrictions. The academic term was “total transformation to card.”
Buzz—
The lights and shadow in front of him returned to normal.
Lu Ming woke up from the wonderful state of energy.
“This is my ability, the Eye of Insight.”
Teacher Zhao had a faint smile on his face. “It greatly enhances your perception and allows you to concentrate on the energy. How’s it? Did you take a good look at the principle of Card Restrictions?”
“Yes.”
Lu Ming nodded.
This was a magical learning experience.
He made an acute observation with the help of the Eye of Insight, while Teacher Zhao explained the principles next to him…
He felt as if he experienced it personally.
Tsk tsk.
If there was such a powerful way of teaching in his previous life, he would not have failed his biology in junior high school.
It was just that…
Card Restrictions were much more difficult than he imagined!
One must master card creation and restriction algorithms to be able to achieve total transformation to card!
“It is a little troublesome.”
Lu Ming was deep in thoughts.
He knew nothing about algorithms, how could he achieve the transformation to card?
Should he continue to use the Meltdown Card?
Buzz—
Lu Ming tried to cast the Meltdown Card, it turned into a stream of light and surged toward the restriction, destroying it. However, a fluorescent light appeared on the card right then.
The restriction recovered and restored its luster.
True enough.
The card was the energy core. If it was not destroyed, the restriction would recover infinitely!
“Wait a minute! Where does the energy in the restriction come from?”
Lu Ming was puzzled.
“From your hands!” Teacher Zhao said indifferently, “Whenever someone directs the energy in order to crack the restriction, it becomes part of the restriction as well!”
“This was why the restriction seems as if it will exist forever.”
Lu Ming was deep in his thoughts.
Yes.
Even during an attack, one would direct energy when cracking the restriction.
The “Meltdown Card” that simply absorbed and extracted energy would definitely weaken the restriction. However, due to the existence of the Card Restriction, it seemed as if it was ineffective.
The card contained energy!
Well…
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Lu Ming cast the Meltdown Card thrice, depleting the restriction of all energy and it did not recover anymore.
The card collapsed completely.
True enough.
Lu Ming had verified his theory. The Meltdown Card could indeed deplete the card of all energy!
However, what was the significance of it?
It took four powerful “Meltdown Cards” to destroy a simple set of Card Restrictions. This was definitely cracking it by force. It was the same for forced attack and destruction!
The “Meltdown Card” was not effective!
What should he do?
Lu Ming took out a blank card and tried to draw it.
Well…
He stopped after he drew the lines for one restriction. That was because he only knew one out of the nine restriction algorithms. He did not know the rest at all!
Must he really learn all the restrictions?
Lu Ming’s head was aching.
“Come. These are the cracking procedures.”
Seeing that Lu Ming had understood the principle, Teacher Zhao handed the cracking process to him.
1. Calculate the number of restrictions.
2. Analyze the ratio of restrictions to lines.
3. Look for the core energy line.
4. Complete all the restriction algorithms.
5. Complete all the energy lines.
…
Wait a minute.
It took seven steps to destroy a Card Restriction completely.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEvery step contained the knowledge that one usually knew. One had to master restriction algorithms, drawing of lines and other related knowledge to be able to crack the restriction!
“After mastering it, please remember to leave a good review~”
Teacher Zhao left after the lesson was over.
Of course.
He probably did not know that this new student of his did not even know the most basic level one restriction algorithm, notwithstanding how to master the cracking of restrictions!
At this very moment…
Lu Ming rested his gaze on the third step, to look for the core energy line!
The restriction could not work by itself!
Therefore, regardless of the number of restrictions, they would be linked by one energy line!
That was the core energy line!
If…
What would happen if he directed the “Meltdown Card” towards this line?
He was the one who created the Meltdown Card, therefore he would be able to make adjustments to it to apply to the special Card Restriction. He could add a line to the closed line!
This line…
Could be directed at the energy core line!
“I’ll try it.”
Lu Ming tried to create the Meltdown Card again, overlapping the new card carefully with the restriction core card.
Buzz—
Green fluorescent lights shone.
The energy line on the Card Restriction was drained instantly. The entire card was destroyed. The powerful Card Restriction flashed several times and disappeared completely!
Cracked!
Lu Ming was overjoyed.
True enough!
If he cracked it and absorbed the core energy line, the entire card would be destroyed.
Well…
He only needed to learn the third step “look for the core energy line” and he could crack the restriction!
He had simplified the learning process!
“That’s great.”
Lu Ming clenched his fists.
Of course.
It was not that easy to look for the core energy line, otherwise, it would not be listed separately.
Under normal circumstances, he also needed to understand several restriction algorithms in order to find the special and single line among the numerous lines.
However…
If he had the “Eye of Insight” ability, everything would be much easier.
Lu Ming was not qualified to seal Teacher Zhao’s ability which was the ranked top among other three-star abilities. However, he could seal a similar ability!
Well…
Lu Ming felt tempted at the thought of it.
In that case, a “Meltdown Card” and an “Eye of Insight” card would be enough to crack all restrictions!
It was amazing at the thought of it!
He should check with the Association…
Lu Ming paused briefly and was reminded of the manager who was a conman and he did not dare to check with him.
Forget it.
Lu Ming made a phone call to Xiaopang. “Xiaopang, do you know whether there is any ability that is similar to the Eye of Insight?”
“Of course I know! I have checked it out myself!”
Zhang Xiaopang seemed to have thought of something as he became excited all of a sudden. “There are many similar abilities, like Penetration Eye, Long-sighted Eye, Prying Eye, Eye of Wicked Charm and more.
Penetration Eye is not very useful, it sounds like an X-ray. It is very scary.
Long-sighted Eye is not good as well. There are many levels in the buildings in the city and there are too many obstructions. Besides, many people have developed a bad habit of drawing their curtains.
Prying Eye might work. I heard that it can see through clothes. It is very interesting.
Eye of Wicked Charm is the most formidable ability of all. I heard that it can change the line of sight, for example looking upwards…
Lu Ming turned sullen.
Damn!
Are you sure all these had the same function as Eye of Insight?!
