162: If you can win, I will eat up the fighting arena!

Upon hearing Li Yueying’s words, everyone turned to look at Jiang Yuan.

After all, they weren't very familiar with Summoning Cards.

The person who knew the most was Jiang Yuan, the creator and founder of the Summoning Card.

When Jiang Yuan saw everyone turning to look at him, he instantly became a little nervous.

“Come, Jiang Yuan, tell us, what was the prototype for your Summoning Card?” Li Yueying smiled encouragingly at Jiang Yuan, then said to him.

“Hmm, a fantasy character.”

After a moment of hesitation, Jiang Yuan finally stood up and said to everyone.

“A fantasy character?”

Including Li Yueying, everyone was slightly puzzled, but the next second, they showed expressions of sudden realization.

So that’s how it is.

Nezha and Shi Ji had no prototypes; they were all characters imagined by Jiang Yuan.

“So they are called Card Spirits, right?”

“Right.”

Jiang Yuan nodded, and Li Yueying finally understood.

“So, does everyone understand now? What is the difference between a Character Card and a Summoning Card?”

“One is real, and the other exists in fantasy,” a fourth-year student stood up and said.

Indeed, the naming of Character Cards and Summoning Cards already explained the different distinctions between the two types of cards.

Character Cards contain characters, characters that have existed.

And Summoning Cards contain Card Spirits, beings that exist only in a fantasy world.

They materialize into Card Spirits in reality by relying on the power of humans and cards.

“Speaking of which, are Summoning Cards similar to the Illusion Cards of the Fairy Race?”

After the young man answered the teacher’s question, he turned to Jiang Yuan and asked curiously.

The Illusion Cards of the Fairy Race, though called Illusion Cards, are actually a type of Scene Card.

However, the Fairy Race is accustomed to calling them Illusion Cards because the biggest difference between their cards and Scene Cards is that Scene Cards provide various buffs, while Illusion Cards simply trap people within them.

Although higher-quality Illusion Cards can also cause damage to enemies through illusions.

Most Illusion Cards, however, work by drawing out the enemy’s most primal fears, thereby trapping them in place.

For example, if a giant dragon appears in an Illusion Card, it is considered a fantasy creature.

Jiang Yuan naturally knew something about Illusion Cards.

“Hmm, there are still some differences,” Jiang Yuan said after a moment of thought, “The difference from the fantasy characters in Illusion Cards might be that Card Spirits materialize from the Virtual (virtual/imaginary) into Reality (real).”

“Materialize from the Virtual (virtual/imaginary) into Reality (real)?”

Li Yueying looked at Jiang Yuan, her eyes instantly becoming lost in thought.

If Card Spirits materialize from the Void (virtual/imaginary) into Reality (real), then she might have found the reason for her previous failed attempts at making Summoning Cards.

However, now was not the time; class was still in session.

She would try again after class.

In just a moment, Li Yueying’s eyes regained their clarity.

“Okay, good, sit down.”

Li Yueying nodded at Jiang Yuan and then began today’s lesson.

“Alright, let’s start with some basics.”

As the lesson began, Jiang Yuan absorbed the knowledge from Li Yueying’s words like a sponge.

Time passed quickly. After finishing the last knowledge point of the lesson, Li Yueying checked the time and clapped her hands.

“Alright, the theoretical lesson ends here. Next is practice.”

“Does anyone want to volunteer to make a card in front of everyone?”

After Li Yueying finished speaking, her gaze swept across everyone’s faces.

Jiang Yuan shrank his head. With so many people here, please don’t call on me.

But sometimes, what you fear most is what happens.

“Come on, Jiang Yuan, as my only disciple, come up and show everyone.”

Li Yueying smiled at Jiang Yuan, then beckoned him over and said.

“Uh, Teacher…”

Jiang Yuan wanted to refuse, but seeing the smiling expression on Li Yueying’s face, he ultimately chose to accept.

“Alright then.”

After Jiang Yuan nodded, he went up and stood on the stage.

Standing beside Li Yueying, Jiang Yuan was slightly reserved.

“Don’t be nervous. You can start making the card directly. Do you need any materials? I’ll have someone bring them now.”

Li Yueying patted Jiang Yuan’s shoulder, comforting him, then said.

“No need, I’ve already prepared all the materials. I originally planned to start making the card after going back today.”

Jiang Yuan shook his head, calming his emotions, then said to Li Yueying.

“Oh? Then we look forward to it.”

Li Yueying smiled, stood to the side, and left the stage to Jiang Yuan.

“Okay.”

After Jiang Yuan nodded, he entered his consciousness space.

Star Power Futon, begin creation!

First, the drawing. Jiang Yuan didn’t hesitate and immediately began to draw.

First, a palace. In the background of the palace, there was a faint image of an alchemy furnace, and on the wall behind, several gourds seemed to be hanging.

Then came the main body, the Star Power Futon.

The appearance of the futon was easy to draw, but Jiang Yuan chose a dark blue main body with dots of white starlight as embellishments for the color.

Then, the signature: Star Power Futon!

With the shining of light, the Star Power Futon was also completed.

“Remember to introduce it.”

Seeing Jiang Yuan open his eyes, Li Yueying was surprised by how quickly Jiang Yuan drew the card.

But she only thought that Jiang Yuan had prepared his draft in advance and now only needed to create it directly.

“Introduce it?”

Jiang Yuan was stunned, turning to look at Li Yueying with some confusion.

“That is, introduce the card you made, as well as the materials and why you used them this way?”

“Ah?”

Jiang Yuan was taken aback, scratching his head in confusion.

“Didn’t you explain it so clearly when you told me in the office that day?”

Li Yueying smiled, “What, you can’t do it now?”

“I should be able to, right?”

Jiang Yuan felt a little nervous, but after taking two deep breaths, he forced himself to calm down.

“The card I made is called Star Power Futon. It’s an Equipment Card that can continuously restore Star Power.”

“An Equipment Card that continuously restores Star Power?”

As soon as Jiang Yuan said this, not only the students but even Li Yueying was surprised.

Although she had heard Jiang Yuan talk about this Equipment Card before, she assumed Jiang Yuan hadn’t succeeded in making it at that time.

She had thought Jiang Yuan would give up on this card, but she didn’t expect him to continue making it today.

Basically, anything that can continuously restore Star Power is usually a Skill Card.

Few Equipment Cards have the effect of restoring Star Power.

For example, one card in some mecha card sets has a continuous Star Power restoration effect.

As for others, most Equipment Cards focus on functions like attack, defense, and speed.

“Only restore Star Power?”

“Yes, only restore Star Power.”

Seeing Jiang Yuan nod firmly, Li Yueying finally understood.

It turned out her previous guess was correct; Jiang Yuan was indeed going to make an Equipment Card specifically for restoring Star Power.

However, an Equipment Card specifically for restoring Star Power is indeed very rare.

“Alright, then you continue.”

Li Yueying gestured for everyone to quiet down, then spoke to Jiang Yuan again.

“The main body for creating the Star Power Futon is the Starry Vine.”

Jiang Yuan took out a card while introducing it to everyone.

This was something he had prepared earlier, and ultimately, Jiang Yuan did not choose to change this card.

“Then there’s Nourishing Qi. This is a material card used for restoring Star Power.”

The second blue quality card merged!

“Finally, a Gathering Star Array, a card I made myself to use as a material.”

As Jiang Yuan spoke, he merged the last card into it.

“The effect of the Gathering Star Array is very simple: it’s used to gather Star Power.”

After he finished speaking, the card in front of Jiang Yuan glowed with a blue light.

Card creation successful!

[Star Power Futon]

Quality: Blue

Type: Equipment Card

Skill:

[Star Power Recovery]: Continuously restores Star Power within the range of the Star Power Futon.

Duration: Eight hours.

Cooldown: Eight hours.

“Aren’t you going to try using your card?”

Just as Jiang Yuan was about to put away the card and step down, Li Yueying spoke to him again.

“Uh, then I’ll give it a try?”

As Jiang Yuan spoke, he began to consume Star Power.

Aside from the Star Power consumed during the card creation just now, he could still materialize one blue quality card and several white quality cards.

After materializing the blue quality card, which was the newly created Star Power Futon, Jiang Yuan also materialized several white quality cards again.

For example, the Linglong Pagoda, the Jade Purification Bottle, or Earth Spirit: Earth Wall, Earth Spirit: Tremor, and so on.

Soon, all the Star Power in Jiang Yuan's body was depleted.

After exhausting all the Star Power in his body, Jiang Yuan then sat down on the Star Power Futon.

Actually, the Star Power Futon's range was quite large.

Moreover, the Star Power Futon could float above Jiang Yuan's head, just like the Jade Purification Bottle.

However, Jiang Yuan did not display these abilities.

He was only testing the Star Power Futon's Star Power recovery ability.

Just sitting on it was enough.

"How's the effect?"

Seeing Jiang Yuan sit down, Li Yueying then asked him.

"It can recover about one-fifth of the Star Power in my body per second."

Jiang Yuan looked up at Li Yueying and then told her.

However, Jiang Yuan did not fully reveal the Star Power Futon's effect.

After he used the Star Power Futon, he could directly recover nearly half of the Star Power in his body per second.

If he were to describe the effect, it was almost the same as recovering Star Power in a Gathering Star Array that was full of Star Power.

"That powerful?"

Even though Jiang Yuan understated a lot, the people below were still quite excited.

"Junior, are you selling this card?"

Although recovering one-fifth of Xuanxiao Early Stage strength in Star Power per second didn't seem like much.

But one must know, this was only a blue quality card!

Furthermore, as an equipment card, its duration must be longer than Skill Cards.

This was beyond doubt.

In other words, by activating the Star Power Futon during combat, there would basically be no need to worry about Star Power consumption.

No longer would one need to constantly calculate how many cards they could use, or which cards to use?

Which cards, after use, would necessitate the use of a Star Power recovery card?

"By the way, how long does it last?"

"How large is the range?"

After someone suggested wanting to buy this card, others also stood up and asked Jiang Yuan.

"The duration is eight hours, and the range is the area of this Star Power Futon; as long as you are within this range, you can continuously recover Star Power."

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he waved his hand before they could continue to speak.

"As for selling it, I probably won't be selling it for now. One of the materials for this card, the Gathering Star Array card I made, is very difficult to produce."

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he nodded at Li Yueying and returned to his seat.

Li Yueying looked at Jiang Yuan's back with a slight hint of disappointment.

She really wanted Jiang Yuan to create a Summoning Card on the spot here.

That way, she could openly learn from him!

No, wait, I'm the teacher!

What a pity.

Li Yueying shook her head slightly, but she quickly firmed up.

It doesn't matter. Since I already know the principle, I can also create a Summoning Card myself!

After Li Yueying encouraged herself, she checked the time and announced the end of class.

At the same time, just as Jiang Yuan had deactivated the Star Power Futon, Jiang Yuan No. 2, who was at home, had already sensed a new card appearing in his consciousness space.

"Oh, Main Body, you're not bad. You said you were going to class, but you secretly went to make cards instead."

"Seeing as you've made the card I needed, I won't scold you for slacking off."

Jiang Yuan No. 2 smiled happily, then materialized the Star Power Futon, and then sat on the Star Power Futon to continue making cards.

"Sigh, the orders are getting more and more recently."

"Main Body, that guy, doesn't even help. It's too much."

After Jiang Yuan No. 2 grumbled twice, he continued to work.

"Jiang Yuan, do you have anything else going on?"

After announcing the end of class, Li Yueying asked Jiang Yuan.

"What's wrong, Master?"

Jiang Yuan looked at Li Yueying with some curiosity: "The challenge letter I sent out before, the person has returned from the Cave Heaven now and accepted my challenge. I'm going to participate in the ranking battle soon."

"Oh, I see."

Li Yueying nodded: "Alright, you go first then, we'll talk later."

"Alright, then I'll be going first."

Jiang Yuan nodded and prepared to leave.

Li Yueying had originally intended to tell Jiang Yuan about the strange purple zenith ancient ginseng that appeared in the Xuanxiao Stage Ten Thousand Races Battlefield.

However, seeing Jiang Yuan's anxious appearance, he must be close to the challenge time.

It's fine to let him go first.

She was only suspicious right now.

She suspected that this matter was related to Wang Wenqing.

However, she had no evidence.

And she didn't know how to tell Jiang Yuan.

Should she tell Jiang Yuan that Wang Wenqing wanted to harm him?

How could that be?

Leaving aside whether Jiang Yuan would believe it, the main point was that Wang Wenqing had no intention of harming Jiang Yuan.

She had worked with Wang Wenqing for so many years, so she naturally understood him.

Not only was he strong, but he also had a strong sense of responsibility, cared deeply for his disciples, and was equally skilled at teaching them.

But the problem was that in recent years, ever since Lan Jingtong left, his psychology had been a bit strange.

He seemed a bit paranoid.

Li Yueying shook her head slightly, hoping she was overthinking it.

After all, Jiang Yuan was not his disciple.

Although she remembered that to alleviate Lan Jingtong's myasthenia symptoms, he had forcibly snatched several heavenly material and earthly treasures from the Mountain Spirit race.

Those were truly snatched from the world where the Mountain Spirit race resided.

It was equivalent to going alone to the opponent's base camp, giving them a big slap, and even plucking two strands of hair on the way out.

Just thinking about it made one realize how dangerous this matter was.

But for Lan Jingtong, he still did it.

Although she didn't know why Lan Jingtong later betrayed him, nor why he didn't give out the two heavenly material and earthly treasures in his hand that could alleviate myasthenia symptoms.

But she vaguely remembered that besides the better Revival Flower, he also had a purple quality heavenly material and earthly treasure.

That was the purple zenith ancient ginseng that had been widely rumored recently.

She always felt that this matter was related to Wang Wenqing.

After Li Yueying shook her head, she looked at Jiang Yuan's departing back with a slight contemplation.

He shouldn't harm his own disciples, right?

Apart from competing with him for disciples, she had no other conflicts with him.

Li Yueying shook her head, not wanting to think about this matter; she still had to go back and make Summoning Cards.

Today, she finally managed to extract new inspiration from Jiang Yuan's words.

She would go back and see if she could succeed.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yuan had already arrived at the Martial Arts Arena.

Compared to his previous challenges, there were basically no people in the Martial Arts Arena's audience seats now.

However, the target he was going to challenge was already waiting in the Martial Arts Arena.

"Are you the one who wants to challenge me?"

Lü Guanchun, who had just returned from the Cave Heaven, frowned slightly as he looked at Jiang Yuan in front of him.

"I don't seem to have seen you before?"

"Yes, I'm a new student who just enrolled not long ago."

Jiang Yuan smiled and took the initiative to say: "I also just advanced to the second year not long ago."

"Just advanced to the second year not long ago?"

Lü Guanchun's brows furrowed even deeper: "Then you were able to reach this position so quickly?"

"And if you say that, you've only just reached Xuanxiao Early Stage strength?"

Lü Guanchun was puzzled: "Do you know what stage my strength is at?"

"Of course, I know, Xuan Xiao Late Stage, two minor realms higher than me." Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded noncommittally.

"You know that and you still come to challenge me?"

Lü Guanchun also chuckled: "But looking at you, you must be a genius youth, after all, you just advanced to the second year not long ago and reached a ranking where you can challenge me."

Lü Guanchun smiled happily: "Friend, do you know? What I like to fight most are genius youths."

"If that's the case, then let's meet in the Martial Arts Arena."

After Lü Guanchun laughed heartily twice, he walked towards the Martial Arts Arena.

He had just returned and received a challenge letter, and he had thought it was an old friend whose strength had improved, which was why they chose to challenge him.

He was worried originally, but now that he saw, it was a guy with Xuanxiao Early Stage strength!

Even if he's a genius, can he defeat me by crossing two ranks?

If he defeats me, I'll eat the Martial Arts Arena!
