Fang Xiang

This is both a work of science fiction and an exploration of the meaning of life, love, literature and art. Brainpower is no longer the main ingredient for being human in this far distant future world.  Spirituality, physical balance, and diligence all come together as integrity for Chen Mu, the Card Apprentice.  The cards which Chen Mu masters in his own scrappy way, distill all the powers of the cosmos –  human and nonhuman –  into something that is not a book, not technology, and neither art nor magic, but is these and more.  Learn about these strange cards, which can embody everything you might imagine for the future of technology, but also a future beyond technology which promotes the best, and sometimes the worst, from mankind’s past.

The Card Apprentice

The Bronze Masked Man's speed was extremely fast too. He carried Lady Faya in one hand and his figure shot back violently.

However, Wei-ah's speed was even faster!

Chen Mu did not know whether Wei-ah's speed was the fastest, but in terms of short-ranged explosive power, he didn't believe that anyone could surpass Wei-ah! Amongst the aces that he had seen, in terms of short-ranged explosive power, Wei-ah came first and the demonic woman second. The others, be it Jiao Si or Caesar, could not possibly claim to be better in this aspect. Within a short range, the explosive power of muscles had more advantages than cards.

Chen Mu's assessment was exceedingly accurate. As though without any warning, Wei-ah appeared out of thin air beside the Bronze Masked Man, whose gaze told of his shock. By a hair's breadth, a layer of energy cloak appeared in between Wei-ah and the Bronze Masked Man.
