147: Challenge from the second graders (Author’s comments)

"Material Card Transference Tree, Material Card Nine-Hole Demonic Stone, Skill Card Compressed Spurt!" Jiang Yuan said decisively.

These three materials were what he instantly thought of after Shi Ji finished speaking.

The Transference Tree provides the effect of Star Power conversion.

And the Nine-Hole Demonic Stone was originally a stone that absorbed Star Power and then increased its hardness.

What Jiang Yuan wanted was the characteristic of this material to absorb Star Power.

As for the final Skill Card, [Compressed Spurt], it was even simpler.

Compress the absorbed Star Power, then release it all after nine breaths.

The Nine-Hole Demonic Stone allows one's body to absorb Star Power, and similarly, all the excess, unbearable Star Power that spurts out can be expelled through the Star Power-absorbing holes opened in the body.

This achieves the effect of Nine Breaths Qi Cultivation!

Jiang Yuan was very excited; he had a feeling.

He would definitely succeed this time!

"Alright."

Li Yueying looked at Jiang Yuan and then nodded in agreement.

She didn't have these cards at the moment, but they could be delivered soon after placing an order.

Jiang Yuan didn't speak; he was thinking about how to make the remaining two cards following this line of thought.

For the Star Power Futon, he could use the Gathering Star Array as the main body; there shouldn't be too big of a problem with that.

But with [Nine Breaths Qi Cultivation], would [Star Power Futon] still be necessary?

This was a question.

As for the clone, if viewed from this perspective.

The problem with the clone shouldn't be splitting, but rather something similar to an external incarnation.

Using the method of making a Summoning Card?

No, it shouldn't be the method of making a Summoning Card. Although both involve reshaping a body with Star Power, there's still a difference from a Summoning Card.

It should be...

Separation?

Jiang Yuan wasn't too sure, but he felt this was the most likely possibility.

"Forget it, let's make Nine Breaths Qi Cultivation first. The other two cards can wait."

Jiang Yuan shook his head slightly and made a decision in his heart.

Not long after, the cards Li Yueying had just purchased were delivered.

Jiang Yuan didn't hesitate and immediately started making them.

Li Yueying looked at Jiang Yuan making the cards with a hint of regret.

If Jiang Yuan had made a Summoning Card this time, it would have been great.

But it wasn't a big problem; Jiang Yuan was already her disciple now.

There's plenty of time ahead~

She was so good to him, could he really keep things from her, his teacher, and be wary of her, his teacher, forever?

Li Yueying felt a slight joy in her heart, but she didn't show it.

She had already noticed that Shi Ji was paying attention to her.

Although she didn't know what she had done wrong to make Shi Ji pay so much attention to her.

But as a woman herself, she understood that there was a talent called "woman's intuition"!

Li Yueying chuckled softly, and soon Jiang Yuan finished drawing and signing, ready to start fusing the materials.

After fusing the three newly bought cards one by one, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but hold his breath as he looked at the blue-quality card in front of him.

Time seemed to pass for a very long time.

The next second, the blue light on the card finally flickered.

Card crafting successful!

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, a happy smile appearing on his face.

Indeed, his feeling was right.

This time, he finally succeeded.

Jiang Yuan reached out and took the card in front of him, beginning to examine its information.

[Thirty-Six Transformations · Nine Breaths Qi Cultivation]

Quality: Blue

Type: Skill Card

Skill:

[Nine Breaths Qi Cultivation] (2/2): Absorbs a large amount of Star Power during breathing, releasing it every nine breaths to replenish missing Star Power in the body. Excess will be released.

Single duration thirty minutes, cooldown two hours.

"Try the effect."

Seeing Jiang Yuan's surprised eyes, Li Yueying also gestured to him and said.

"Alright."

Jiang Yuan nodded, then gestured to Shi Ji.

Shi Ji nodded, and Undead were summoned one by one. Soon, Jiang Yuan felt his physical strength being consumed.

"This is?"

"Oh, this is Shi Ji's skill, capable of summoning Bone Spirit."

"Summoning Bone Spirit?"

Li Yueying looked at these Bone Spirit, which closely resembled Undead summons, with interest, then saw that Jiang Yuan had already used the card.

After [Thirty-Six Transformations · Nine Breaths Qi Cultivation] was used, Jiang Yuan's pores seemed to open up, and each breath brought a large amount of Star Power into his body.

As the ninth breath ended, the large amount of Star Power in his body instantly replenished all the Star Power in himself and Shi Ji.

It probably used less than a third of the Star Power in his body; the remaining excess Star Power was expelled through the pores of his body.

"The effect is surprisingly good!"

Jiang Yuan was a little excited. He felt that this blue-quality [Thirty-Six Transformations · Nine Breaths Qi Cultivation] could be used for a long time.

But then again, the Star Power reserves in the Xing Ji Stage are not very large to begin with, and usually, white-quality Skill Cards are used.

Even white Skill Cards that continuously restore Star Power are sufficient for Star Epoch Late Stage Star Power recovery.

Now he was using a blue-quality Star Power recovery Skill Card, which obviously could restore more Star Power.

However, Jiang Yuan was also about to reach Xuanxiao Stage strength.

Not only did he cultivate daily in the [Gathering Star Array], but if there were no classes or he had more time on a certain day.

Jiang Yuan would also choose to use academic credits to exchange for opportunities to cultivate at Fallen Star Cliff.

Jiang Yuan's star spirit stone were all used up buying material cards, and his academic credits were used up exchanging for cultivation opportunities at Fallen Star Cliff.

Even though they brought back a lot of spoils from the Undead Cave Heaven and converted them into academic credits.

Even though he had the qualification to use Fallen Star Cliff at a discount.

But Fallen Star Cliff was, after all, a purple-quality scene card, so it was naturally very expensive.

However, being expensive had its benefits.

Cultivating in Fallen Star Cliff was equivalent to cultivating in a [Gathering Star Array] with full Star Power.

That's why, after this period of cultivation, he was able to quickly reach Xuanxiao Stage.

According to Jiang Yuan's calculations, he would probably fill up the three stars of the Xing Ji Stage in just a few days.

At that time, he would only need an opportunity to successfully break through.

"How is it?"

Seeing Jiang Yuan use the card, Li Yueying also asked curiously.

"The effect is very good."

Jiang Yuan smiled and looked at Shi Ji.

Clearly, Shi Ji had also felt the effect of suddenly having full Star Power.

Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow at Shi Ji. Shi Ji rolled her eyes at Jiang Yuan in annoyance, then also smiled.

With this Nine Breaths Qi Cultivation, Shi Ji could now stably unleash her full combat power in a short period of time.

One must know that Shi Ji was not only capable of summoning Undead she had enslaved.

She could also summon Bone Spirit and use Skill Cards.

Although the types of Bone Spirit she could summon were not many at the moment.

But as long as there was enough Star Power, she could also create an Undead Bone Sea.

"That's good. Do you have any ideas for the remaining two?" Li Yueying nodded with satisfaction and asked.

"Not yet, but it shouldn't be a big problem."

To be honest, Jiang Yuan did have some ideas.

But not being certain was also true.

For the remaining two, he couldn't feel the same strong certainty that certain material cards would definitely succeed, like he did with this one.

"Alright, if you don't understand anything, you can come and ask me again."

After Li Yueying nodded, she returned to her previous lazy posture.

"Okk, then I'll retreat first."

Jiang Yuan got up, intending to go straight back.

First, make money!

Then, make cards!

Then, use the clone to make money!

Hahahahaha!

Jiang Yuan left, while Li Yueying still half-lay on the sofa, her beautiful body unreservedly displayed.

"So, what is the core of Summoning Card crafting?"

The voice softly sounded, and the next second, the room fell silent again.

...

...

"Jiang Yuan, do you know what we missed!"

As soon as Jiang Yuan walked out, Mu Qianshan rushed over and said to him.

"Why are you here?"

Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and Mu Qianshan, facing Jiang Yuan's question, was also stunned.

"No, I just finished class, where else would I be?"

"And why are you here? Didn't you have class this morning?"

"I came to see my master." Jiang Yuan pointed to the office building behind him and then asked Mu Qianshan, "By the way, what did we miss?"

"You, after being interrupted by you, I don't have the same passion as before."

Mu Qianshan was a little helpless, but he still said, "I just found out that when we left that day, it was exactly when the war between the Human Race and the Undead broke out in the Undead Cave Heaven!"

Mu Qianshan spoke, getting excited again.

But Jiang Yuan scratched his head: "Hmm, I know."

"You know?"

"Yes, I just heard people talking about it in the library."

The war in the Undead Cave Heaven had just ended yesterday, so the news had only just spread.

Previously, we were always in a state of war, and we had the advantage, so basically, no one voluntarily withdrew from the Cave Heaven.

However, the war ended yesterday.

The Human race directly pushed through the Undead.

After collecting all the materials and spoils of war from the Undead side, they retreated to the Human race's gathering place.

Then, the people who participated in the war gradually emerged from the Cave Heaven, spreading the news completely.

"Then do you know why?" Mu Qianshan asked, looking at Jiang Yuan with a strange expression.

"Why?"

"Because of you, or rather, because of us."

"Huh?"

Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment. How did the war between the Human race and the Undead get related to him?

He had clearly left the Cave Heaven when the war began.

"We captured the Third Prince of the Undead that day, right?"

Jiang Yuan was puzzled: "Yes, but didn't that guy run away?"

"According to my guess, it might be because the Third Prince secretly ran out, which then led to the Undead main force being dispatched to search for him."

"As a result, because we killed too many Undead in the Mixed Zone, our Human race here mistakenly thought that the appearance of the Undead main force was to hunt us down."

Jiang Yuan's eyelids twitched involuntarily: "You mean, it really was because of us?"

"Most likely, yes."

Mu Qianshan smiled strangely: "A girl who can enslave the Undead, a young man with a red long spear, and a young man riding a unicorn... hmm, awkwardly, I'm not in it."

"These are the geniuses the Undead want to hunt down, and these are the geniuses the Human race is looking for."

"And then?" Jiang Yuan's mouth twitched slightly.

What kind of strange developments are these?

"Then, they didn't find you, the Human race thought we were all dead, and then they directly pushed through the Undead," Mu Qianshan said, spreading his hands.

"Huh?"

This development is even stranger, isn't it?

Speaking of which, isn't the Human race a bit too strong?

Directly pushed through the Undead gathering place?

Doesn't this clearly indicate that they were just putting on a show and training soldiers all along?

But after all, Xingji Cave is just a training ground.

"By the way, the Human race here doesn't know that the Undead Prince had come to the battlefield."

"Normal, after all, this can be considered a family scandal, right? It's normal for the Undead not to reveal it."

Mu Qianshan said indifferently.

The Undead Prince, with thirteen Undead Gun Cavalry, was almost captured alive.

If he were Undead, he definitely wouldn't tell anyone either.

However, what Mu Qianshan didn't know was that when the Undead Third Prince was teleported to the Undead gathering place by his servant using a life channel, there weren't many people left in the gathering place.

However, at that time, Star Stone Illusion had not yet run to the Mixed Zone and just happened to see Ancient Capital Si Dan.

So Star Stone Illusion directly took Ancient Capital Si Dan and left the Cave Heaven.

After leaving, Star Stone Illusion returned and directly issued a gag order to the Undead in the Cave Heaven.

They were not allowed to reveal that His Highness the Third Prince had ever visited the Cave Heaven.

But to be honest, only a few leaders and three elite squads knew about this matter.

If they didn't say anything, the other Undead only thought they went to the Mixed Zone to eliminate the Human who could enslave their Undead.

However, after this incident, the Third Prince also changed.

He wanted to go back and contend for the throne!

Then, revenge!

Reclaim his princess!

"Tsk, how interesting, I didn't expect such a development."

Jiang Yuan shook his head, and Shi Ji beside him also smiled slightly.

"But who spread the rumor that we died?" Jiang Yuan felt somewhat amused for no reason.

"It couldn't be that the commander in the Cave Heaven spread it to push through the Undead, could it?"

"Who knows?" Mu Qianshan also chuckled: "But it's possible."

Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan burst into laughter simultaneously.

However, Jiang Yuan was indeed right.

Although Jiang Yuan was just joking, the scar-faced middle-aged man did indeed think that way.

One can only say that some parts of human thinking are interconnected.

Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan walked home, chatting and laughing.

Jiang Yuan now just wanted to make cards quickly and then get the final payment for the military order.

He was really poor now!

If he had known this, he should have asked his master first.

What a waste!

"Jiang Yuan."

"Tong Yuchang, why are you here?"

As Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan arrived at their doorstep, they saw Tong Yuchang standing there, so Jiang Yuan asked curiously.

"I'm waiting for you here. Why couldn't I get through to your phone just now?" Tong Yuchang asked Jiang Yuan after giving Shi Ji a surprised look.

Jiang Yuan took out his phone and saw that there were indeed several missed calls from Tong Yuchang.

"I was making cards just now. Is something wrong?"

"Someone from our second-year students wants to challenge you."

"Challenge?"

"Yes, he challenged you on the academy's official website, believing that you are not worthy of receiving the second-year students' cultivation resources, as you only defeated some second-year students whose strength was suppressed."

Tong Yuchang's expression was a bit awkward, as he was one of the people Jiang Yuan defeated.

Although he acknowledged Jiang Yuan's strength, it didn't mean that the second-year students who had been deprived of most of their cultivation resources acknowledged it.

"Oh, let me see."

Jiang Yuan chuckled and directly opened the academy's official website.

Sure enough, there was an official post at the top.

"It says that although I am strong in Xing Ji Stage, I definitely can't face Xuanxiao Stage, even Xuanxiao Early Stage, so he wants to challenge me as a Xuanxiao Early Stage?"

Jiang Yuan was also stunned after reading the post.

There really are such idiots, huh?

My Xing Ji Stage strength is a level above yours. Do you think I'll accept the challenge just because you praise me a bit?

Although the current Shi Ji has already led Jiang Yuan to the thirty-fifth floor.

He has already defeated a small boss with Xuanxiao Early Stage strength.

But even if I can defeat him, why should I accept your challenge?

Jiang Yuan was puzzled. Is this guy really mentally ill?

Wouldn't it be better for me to make two more cards and earn money in this time?

Me, go fight in an arena for you?

"No time, what a boring trick."

Jiang Yuan shook his head dismissively and said to Tong Yuchang.

Increase the popularity of the challenge, and then use public opinion to force me to accept the challenge?

Sorry, I, Jiang Yuan, don't care what others say at all.

And as a shut-in, I don't like interacting with others either.

All I like is making cards and making money!

Making money makes me happy, making money makes me feel secure!

Anyone who obstructs me from making money is an idiot!

"Uh."

Tong Yuchang awkwardly touched his nose, while Shi Ji directly took the phone from Jiang Yuan's hand.

Looking at the message that demanded Jiang Yuan return a portion of his resources to the second-year students if he lost, Shi Ji couldn't help but laugh.

How good, only making Jiang Yuan return it, not the other first-year students.

Especially when Jiang Yuan holds the majority.

And then pulling all the second-year students onto his bandwagon.

What an interesting tactic.

But then again, the cultivation resources of those second-year students are indeed good.

If it weren't for those cultivation resources, including special cultivation rooms, the usage limit for cultivation scenarios like Fallen Star Cliff, and so on.

The current Jiang Yuan might not have been able to reach the realm of being on the verge of breaking through to the Xuanxiao Stage.

But it only talks about what we have to pay if we lose, doesn't it mention what he has to pay if he loses?

What an old-fashioned tactic.

However, it seems it can also be utilized.

Looking at Jiang Yuan's displeased expression beside her, Shi Ji smiled and then replied below.

"If you lose, what price can you pay? After all, if I lose, I have to pay so many cultivation resources."

"You're not trying to persuade me to accept the challenge, are you?" Jiang Yuan asked cautiously, looking at the somewhat awkward Tong Yuchang.

"Of course not, I came to persuade you not to bother with him."

Tong Yuchang shook his head: "That guy, he has some issues."

"What issues?"
