Chapter 81: All for Ah Sheng

Having scrapping nearly ten energy cards in a row, Yu Jinli finally got a knack for directing energy with inner focus. Filled with a new confidence, he was sure he would succeed this time. Yu Jinli channeled his inner focus into the energy card, guiding the energy to move according to his will. He felt good about it. With balanced breath and firm inner focus, the energy moved smoothly as it drew lines of the same size. Given the current situation, as long as he could keep it steady, he would definitely finish this energy card successfully. However, at the most critical point, the door was forced open from outside. “Who allowed you to make energy cards here by yourself?” Liu Qi’s irritated voice came along. Yu Jinli, who wasn’t expecting visitors at all was startled and the energy card which was about to come into being... blew up. Seeing Yu Jinli’s energy card explode, Liu Qi was both happy and disdainful for a split second. That boy couldn’t even control his inner focus. How dare he make energy cards by himself? He got a lot of nerve. Yu Jinli looked at the man who broke into his room with a gloomy face. Usually good-tempered, it didn’t mean he never got angry, especially not at this critical point when he was about to succeed. Now he had to start over again. He felt crushed. “Why didn’t you knock before you came in my room?” asked Yu Jinli unhappily. “Your room? You made energy cards here without permission and broke the master’s stuff. It is already nice of me that I don’t throw you out. How dare you claim this is your room. Do you not know shame?” criticized Liu Qi scornfully. He had taken this new boy who the master especially cared about as an eyesore since the start. Yu Jinli’s frown grew deeper. He didn’t know this guy who gave him a lesson as soon as he was here and he wasn’t happy about it. “The master allowed me to use this room so it is mine. It is impolite of you to go into someone else’s room without knocking first. It is a lack of manners of you to criticize others without apologizing,” retorted Yu Jinli with each argument on point which left Liu Qi at a loss for word. “Apologize!” said Yu Jinli with determination as he looked at Liu Qi in the eye. “Who do you think you are? Don’t run amok because it was Mrs. Jiang who brought you here.” Liu Qi accused him loudly. “I haven’t. You are the one without manners. Now you must apologize.” Yu Jinli stood by his opinion. “You...” Liu Qi was about to speak again when a loud shout rose from behind. “Who allowed you upstairs?” At this point, Master Kameng called out angrily from behind. Liu Qi was so scared that he totally forgot he was confronting Yu Jinli. “Master, I...” The moment Liu Qi saw the angry Master Kameng, his legs started to shake in fear. Seeing Yu Jinli stand there upright from the corner of his eyes, he threw the blame on him. “Master, it was him. He made energy cards without permission. There were several explosions. We all heard it downstairs. I was afraid he would ruin this room so I came here to stop him.” “No one is allowed upstairs without my permission. Have you forgotten about it? Someone, come here! Throw this boy out. I don’t want to see him near my manor again!” called Master Kameng angrily. Several tall and strong men appeared out of nowhere. No matter how Liu Qi pleaded, he was still thrown out. “How’s your practice?” asked the master. “I was one step from success,” said Yu Jinli with a frown. If he wasn’t interrupted, he would have succeeded. “Keep practicing!” said Master Kameng. Neither of the two took Liu Qi seriously. “Yes, master,” replied Yu Jinli. Back in the room, he calmed down and started to make energy cards like nothing had happened. About ten minutes passed, he finished the last stroke of the heart-shaped herb, connecting it with the first one which created a closed pattern with glowing energy inside and made the herb lifelike. He felt a great sense of achievement. He had finished his first heart-shaped herb energy card! Holding his first energy card, Yu Jinli ran towards Master Kameng’s studio with excitement which was evident from his knocks on the door. “Come in,” said Master Kameng. “Master, master, look! I’ve finished it!” Holding the heart-shaped herb energy card, Yu Jinli said happily. Though it was simply a Grade F energy card, it was special because it was his first work. With a slight frown, Master Kameng looked at the clock. Merely ten minutes passed after he left Yu Jinli’s room while Yu Jinli already finished an energy card? Even he was surprised. Although it was just a Grade F energy card, it would take a master ten minutes, and longer for those who were at a junior grade, yet it just took Yu Jinli around ten minutes. Was this boy’s inner focus really at Grade D? It was the first time that Master Kameng had questions about a person. Even so, Master Kameng didn’t show it. He took Yu Jinli’s energy card and examined it carefully, finding that it was made in a short time as well as in good quality. His opinion of Yu Jinli went up another level. “Good job. You can call yourself a Card Forger now. However, it’s only the beginning. Don’t get cocky for there are a lot of better Card Forgers. You are just a rookie.” Master Kameng told him. It might sound harsh but it was the truth. “Yes, master,” answered Yu Jinli with a smile. He didn’t mind what the master just said. “Go back to your room. Keep up with the practice. That you succeeded one time doesn’t mean you can do it every time. Practice makes perfect,” added the master. If it was somebody else, the master wouldn’t even waste his breath. He was willing to speak more with a talented and diligent young man. “Yes, master!” answered Yu Jinli. He then went back to his room with his energy card. Getting his energy board out, he was ready to practice with another super plant. Though the heart-shaped herb energy card was a success, it was the only one he could make. Still unfamiliar with other super plants, he needed to practice on the energy board first before he could try with energy cards. In the afternoon, it was Jiang Mosheng who came to pick him up. The moment Yu Jinli was in the flying car, he took out the heart-shaped herb energy card he made and said proudly: “Ah Sheng, look.” The glowing energy card surprised Jiang Mosheng a bit. He then stroked Yu Jinli softly on the head and applauded: “Little chestnut, you made it? You are brilliant!” “Haha, it’s my first energy card for you. I’m going to make more and better energy cards. They are all for you, Ah Sheng.” Yu Jinli gave it to Jiang Mosheng as he said smilingly. That gave Jiang Mosheng a warm tickle on the heart. “Thank you, little chestnut. I’m counting on you.” He had a hearty grin. It was good that the one he loved cared about him. In the future, he would use energy cards little chestnut made. They would work together in perfect harmony. The mere thought of such a future got his heart racing. He must speed up the cultivation, get rid of the toxin and fix his super core so that he could make the best of the energy cards little chestnut made. He believed those would be the best and most powerful energy cards in the world. At the moment, Jiang Mosheng simply viewed Yu Jinli’s energy cards highly because he loved him, not knowing his comment would come true one day. “Yes, all for Ah Sheng,” said Yu Jinli happily. In the past, it was the golden coattail who had been helping him. Now it was his turn to pay back. Yu Jinli thought with content. During the day, Yu Jinli was at Master Kameng’s place, learning how to make energy cards. At night, he went back home and did live-stream. When it was time to sleep, he started cultivation. Thus, he neglected neither study nor cultivation. Except for picking Yu Jinli up every day, Jiang Mosheng had spent the rest of his time on cultivation. Having known that he needed fans’ Power of Faith for cultivation, he decided to post starlog in order to get closer to his fans. Jiang Mosheng, a person who seldom used starlog, hadn’t posted anything since he had an account, nor did he know what to post. Half a month flew by. Yu Jinli was able to make five Grade F energy cards now and Jiang Mosheng reached the fourth level of the stage of Qi Transformation when the most important event - election which happened every ten years finally came. Originally, Yu Family wanted to beat down Jiang Family in this election to alleviate itself, promote its own man to the position of marshal and increase its power. However, all was ruined after Jiang Mosheng’s recovery. Every time Yu Hongrui saw Jiang Zhentao in glowing spirits, he was filled with resentment. “Congratulations, Marshal Jiang,” remarked Yu Hongrui with a false smile. “The same to you, Marshal Yu,” replied Jiang Zhentao smilingly. In this election, under the influence of the public and the support of the majority of the parliament and military, the three marshals were re-elected, with Jiang Zhentao the most loved one, leaving no space for his enemies to stir up trouble. Head of Federation, a position where the incumbent was seldom re-elected, was, this time, becoming one of the few re-elected leaders in the history of the Federation. He was able to gain public support and got re-elected because the super power enhancement liquid that he supported a few years ago was well received, which allowed mutants to raise their grades faster and gain more power and thus brought security to the Federation. It could be said no high rank officials lost this election while the middle level went through great change. Its impact on the Federation was insignificant. The election which started as a huge event ended quietly. Whether or not it was so under the surface, whether or not someone was angry and didn’t know how to vent his anger, remained unknown.
