274: Breakthrough! Fifth level beam!

"Think of a way?"

Jiang Yuan looked at Ai Xiu with a suspicious gaze: "What way could there be? These Star Power orbs are not common."

"You don't need to worry about that. What you should be more concerned about is whether you can break through that bottleneck and successfully reach Great Beam strength after using the Star Power orb."

Ai Xiu spread his hands, looked at Jiang Yuan, and smiled: "If you ultimately can't break through that bottleneck, then even if you have a Star Power orb, it won't mean anything."

"You don't need to worry about that either. Since I chose the Star Power orb, I can definitely break through."

Jiang Yuan waved his hand: "The immediate priority is the Star Power orb. Can you do it?"

"A man can certainly do it!"

Ai Xiu patted his chest, but what he got in return was Jiang Yuan's disdainful look.

"I hope you can do it."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely get it for you tonight."

"Alright, then good luck. I'll go back and make cards for you. Once I have an idea, I'll send you the material list."

"No problem!"

Ai Xiu nodded excitedly. Jiang Yuan glanced at the screens of the First Battlefield and the Third Battlefield before preparing to go home.

Once the battles in the other two battlefields concluded, the final ranking matches would begin.

Apart from some support Card Masters, of course, it's highly unlikely that any support Card Masters would appear among the top two hundred Students.

After all, no matter which team is fighting, as soon as they discover a support Card Master on the opposing side, the first target to eliminate is the support Card Master.

This also leads to a very low survival rate for support Card Masters.

However, looking at the situation in the First Battlefield and the Third Battlefield, after their battles end, it will probably be two days later for the last circle.

Sure enough, I am the most awesome.

Jiang Yuan chuckled. If it weren't for his "airdrop" plan, the Second Battlefield should have ended at roughly the same time as the First Battlefield and the Third Battlefield.

After Jiang Yuan returned home, he began to ponder the materials needed to create [Insight Beyond Obstacles].

As a purple quality card, it would require at least four material cards.

And to ensure that the card produced is a purple quality card, all four material cards must be purple quality material cards.

The effect of [Insight Beyond Obstacles] is farsight plus X-ray vision, allowing one to see through and comprehend everything, seeing all directions from where they sit, with no obstructions in heaven or on earth, inside or outside the six harmonies, clearly discerning ghosts, gods, humans, objects, the hidden and the obvious, large and small.

In other words, in addition to farsight and X-ray vision, it can also see what the human eye cannot.

For example, ghosts, souls, and the like.

Which means, it can also see through stealth?

Jiang Yuan rubbed his chin. If that's the case, then one of the materials would need to be something that can open the Heavenly Eye.

One that can enhance vision, and one that can enhance eyesight.

As for the last one, perhaps another conceptual measurement type.

Or...

Thinking of this, an idea immediately sparked in Jiang Yuan's mind. He directly pulled out a thick compendium of materials from his Backpack Card.

This was just the compendium for purple quality cards. There was also a red quality one and a gold quality one that were similar.

As for white quality and blue quality material compendiums, they weren't just one book, but several.

After all, the lower the grade of the material, the more types there are, and vice versa.

Jiang Yuan checked the effects of various materials in his material compendium and quickly determined the materials he needed.

However, to be on the safe side, Jiang Yuan decided on three sets of card combinations made from different materials.

"It's these three sets of cards. Find them and give them to me, and I'll make the cards for you."

Jiang Yuan took out his phone and sent a voice message to Ai Xiu, whom he had just added, then continued to examine the material compendium.

Since [Thirty-Six Transformations · Insight Beyond Obstacles] was being arranged, shouldn't [Thirty-Six Transformations · Standing Upright Without a Shadow] also be arranged?

After all, this card was the life-saving card he had originally wanted.

If he had this card, then with the Linglong Pagoda and [Thirty-Six Transformations · Standing Upright Without a Shadow], his safety would be greatly guaranteed.

...

...

Early the next morning, a knock sounded on Jiang Yuan's door.

"Coming, coming."

Jiang Yuan, who had slept well, felt refreshed as he went to open the door, then saw Ai Xiu standing in front of him.

"Oh, the materials are ready? That was quite fast."

"Of the twelve material cards you wanted, only seven have been gathered so far. Two more material cards will have to wait a bit longer," Ai Xiu shook his head and said.

"That's fine. Which seven material cards? Let me see if I can try to make some first."

"They're all here."

Ai Xiu handed Jiang Yuan two Backpack Cards: "One Backpack Card contains those seven material cards, and the other Backpack Card contains the Star Power orb."

Ai Xiu looked at Jiang Yuan with a strange expression: "The day before yesterday on the stage, I really didn't understand what Old Principal meant by that remark."

"But yesterday, in order to help you find the Star Power orb, after I looked into it, I realized you little brat are truly cunning!"

"No wonder the expressions of the first few people changed immediately when they heard it was you who wanted the Star Power orb. If I wasn't stronger, I might have even gotten beaten up."

Ai Xiu smiled and shook his head. What his friend told him yesterday was that, apart from himself, a lone wolf, the other Students who entered the top two hundred had more or less lost some teammates in that battle.

This was why they "hated" Jiang Yuan so much.

Jiang Yuan reached out and took the two Backpack Cards from Ai Xiu's hand, smiling a little awkwardly: "It's not that my strength is too low. If I didn't use some tactics, I might not have even made it into the top two hundred."

"Alright, alright. You work hard to break through. Otherwise, you'll be the only Jiang Lou strength in the top two hundred, which does look a bit bad."

Ai Xiu smiled and waved his hand: "There's no need to rush to make my cards. You break through first. With your combat power, if you break through, then ordinary Great Beam (Mid Stage)... (Late Stage) might not actually be your opponent."

Ai Xiu spoke, then suddenly paused. He had originally intended to say Great Beam (Mid Stage), but then suddenly remembered that in the Second Battlefield assessment, Jiang Yuan, still at Late Stage strength, had eliminated a Great Beam (Mid Stage) guy.

With Jiang Yuan's strength, after breaking through, he might even be able to fight some Great Beam (Late Stage) opponents whose combat power isn't very strong.

But honestly, this kid Jiang Yuan is indeed a bit abnormal.

Even though it had been two days since that incident, as an Undead Archer, and one with equally strong strength and talent, he still didn't understand why Nezha's two arrows could ignore the defensive barrier.

It was like...

It was just as he thought, like his own skill, directly hitting anyone he could see.

However, although his own skill could directly hit enemies he could see, it could also be interrupted by defensive skills or other offensive skills, or the arrow's trajectory could be deflected.

But Nezha's two arrows were completely unaffected.

If this ability wasn't Nezha's, or rather, Jiang Yuan's trump card skill, he might have really opened his mouth to inquire about it.

After all, as an Undead Archer, this kind of skill was undoubtedly of paramount attraction to him.

But this kind of skill that allows one to kill across realms, to kill an opponent with three arrows across realms, must be a trump card.

If it were other cards, it would be fine, like the Linglong Pagoda, [Earth Movement Technique], [False Shape], these cards are not only very useful but also purchasable.

Ai Xiu shook his head, what a pity.

"That's easy to say. Breaking through shouldn't take long. Let's see about making your card first. The sooner it's made, the sooner the task is completed."

Jiang Yuan smiled and said this, and Ai Xiu understood Jiang Yuan's meaning.

He no longer lingered, waved his hand at Jiang Yuan, and turned to leave.

"The remaining cards will be acquired as soon as possible. I'll bring them to you then."

"Alright."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

Jiang Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly. After watching Ai Xiu turn the corner and walk away, he turned and entered the house.

"Time to work again!"

Jiang Yuan stretched lazily, then activated his auxiliary cultivation Skill Card.

[Gathering Star Array]!

After being upgraded to purple quality, [Gathering Star Array] had greatly improved in both duration and Star Power density.

Coupled with the continuous operation of his cultivation method card [Great Firmament Celestial Art], Jiang Yuan's cultivation speed was still very fast.

After using the Star Power orb this time, he would most likely be able to break through directly.

The reason for "most likely" was to account for some unexpected situations; otherwise, with Jiang Yuan's current various cards and the red quality heavenly material and earthly treasure, Spirit Jade Lotus, he had used before, there was basically no possibility of a breakthrough failure.

After preparing everything, Jiang Yuan also took out the Star Power orb from his Backpack Card.

As the Star Power orb was used, the star representing Late Stage began to shine at an extremely fast speed.

Soon, the entire star was filled with Star Power, and the previously somewhat dim stars were also filled with light.

If one had to describe it with a fantastical realm, it would be Late Stage Great Perfection.

Next, it was time to charge towards Great Beam.

The effect of the Star Power orb had not yet ended, and Jiang Yuan was also guiding the remaining Star Power towards the three stars representing Great Beam strength, located behind the three Jiang Lou stars.

In a short while, a wisp of Star Power arrived at the star representing Da Liang Initial Stage, and a thin line connected the two stars of Late Stage and Da Liang Initial Stage.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan officially reached Da Liang Initial Stage strength!

Breakthrough successful!

Jiang Yuan opened his eyes, feeling a surge of happiness.

However, feeling the dense Star Power in the surrounding [Gathering Star Array], Jiang Yuan didn't hesitate and activated the Great Firmament Celestial Art to cultivate again.

...

...

"This is your card, but it's a one-time Skill Card."

"Eh?"

Ai Xiu looked at the card in Jiang Yuan's hand, a little surprised: "No, a one-time Skill Card... is it?"

"Yes, the Skill Card couldn't be made. I added too many things into it."

Jiang Yuan shook his head slightly. He was telling the truth.

A complete card indeed couldn't be made. It wasn't that he had a complete Skill Card in his hand and then specifically made several one-time Skill Cards to give to Ai Xiu.

"This..."

Ai Xiu somewhat blankly reached out and took the card from Jiang Yuan's hand.

"Just look at it, the effect is definitely better than you imagine."

Jiang Yuan was slightly embarrassed: "According to this effect, if a complete Skill Card were to be made, it would probably require red quality. And my current strength doesn't support me making red quality cards."

"Alright."

Ai Xiu nodded somewhat disappointedly, then looked at the card in his hand.

[Thirty-Six Transformations · Insight Beyond Obstacles]!

Quality: Purple

Type: One-time Skill Card.

Skill:

[Insight Beyond Obstacles]: After activating the skill, one can see everything within a one-thousand-meter radius, regardless of whether there are obstacles, whether it is in an invisible state, or whether it is in a physical state, perceiving everything!

Duration: Three minutes.

"Wait!"

After seeing the skill effect of [Thirty-Six Transformations · Insight Beyond Obstacles], Ai Xiu's expression suddenly changed.

"Does this mean that within a one-thousand-meter radius, I can see through everything?"

"Yes, including those in invisible or stealth states, and also those whose vision is obstructed by any obstacles."

"No wonder a complete purple quality card couldn't be made, this effect is too strong!"

Ai Xiu was a little excited, even wishing he could hug and kiss Jiang Yuan right now.

But unfortunately, he was straight, and Jiang Yuan wasn't some great beauty.

He could only excitedly jump up and down a couple of times.

"How many cards are there?"

"A total of five were made this time, and I've given them all to you."

"Alright, I want more. Send me the material details. When you have time, help me make some more. Three minutes of duration is still too short."

"No problem."

Jiang Yuan smiled, but Ai Xiu spoke again: "Of course, for these subsequent cards, I will give you a certain amount of compensation. You set the price for how many star spirit stones it takes to make one card, and I'll give it to you all at once then."

Jiang Yuan smiled happily: "Okay, but you'll need to discuss this with my agent."

"Agent?"

Ai Xiu was stunned. Mu Qianshan, who had been silent by the side, stepped forward, smiling at Ai Xiu.

"That would be me!"

Seeing their identical, foxy smiles, Ai Xiu chuckled, then nodded.

"Alright, then let's have a good talk about the price."

"Alright."

Mu Qianshan nodded, and the two went aside to chat.

At the same time, the battle in the First Battlefield on the large screen also ended.

Unexpectedly, among the remaining top two hundred, there were quite a few familiar faces to Jiang Yuan.

For example, Bu Qiuyuan, Tong Yuchang, and Hu Qingwei.

"Looking at this, it's estimated that the battle in the Third Battlefield will also end soon."

In a short while, Ai Xiu and Mu Qianshan had already agreed on the price and came to Jiang Yuan's side, looking up at the only remaining large screen.

The large screen showed the Third Battlefield, where the Sixth Realm Shen was located.

At this time, the number of people remaining in the Third Battlefield was two hundred and thirty-one.

"At most, the competition should end this afternoon, right?"

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, Ai Xiu also nodded: "Roughly. After the Third Battlefield competition ends, we'll rest for a day, and then our competition will begin the day after tomorrow."

"Since we finished first, we'll naturally be in the first round."

Ai Xiu finished speaking and looked at Jiang Yuan: "You've already broken through to Great Beam, so you should be able to go through a few more rounds."
