Chapter 3

"With the card-crafting talent Lu Li has shown, as long as he is willing to be nurtured, he will be enough to achieve the Sovereign Realm within a hundred years." Cang Fenghua sighed.

In the history of the magic card civilization, as long as a Magic Card Master successfully constructed a new world view and crafted an original magic card, no one's strength was lower than the Sovereign Realm.

Moreover, Magic Card Masters who craft original magic cards are easier to promote than other ordinary Magic Card Masters! These are all noted in historical records!

Cang Fenghua spent a thousand years to be promoted to the Sovereign Realm, and even that could be considered fast enough. As for when he could be promoted to the Immortal Realm, or whether he could be promoted to the Immortal Realm at all, that was not something the current Cang Fenghua could hope for.

Zhao Chengyuan and Da Bai Man looked at each other in silence; their strength was lower than Cang Fenghua's, they were only Emperor Realm Magic Card Masters.

But even so, it took them hundreds of years. And a novice Magic Card Master like Lu Li received Cang Fenghua's evaluation of being promoted to the Sovereign Realm within a hundred years, which made the two of them feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Of course, this was mainly because Lu Li was not a student from their school, otherwise they would be like Gu Fa, smiling like a chrysanthemum.

Not knowing the shock that the original magic card brought to Cang Fenghua and the others, Lu Li was currently flipping through the magic card attributes in his hand.

【Dark Magician Girl】

Race: Spellcaster

Grade: Collector's

Rank: Six-star

Skills: Black Magic Inheritance, Black Magic, Silence, Dark Burning Attack

Black Magic Inheritance: Inherited from the Dark Magician, this magic card can be used as a Dark Magician; after activation, it can obtain a 30% combat power bonus from the Dark Magician, lasting for half an hour, with a 6-hour cooldown.

Black Magic: Wields a staff to launch a powerful spell attack on enemy units.

Silence: Causes a silence effect on a designated area; enemy units in that area cannot launch skill attacks.

Finishing Move Dark Burning Attack: Concentrates power and locks onto a target, releases a burst attack to cause massive damage, destroying enemy units with strength lower than the Dark Magician Girl.

"Six-star Collector's grade! As expected of a wife card!" With just one glance, Lu Li felt that this Dark Magician Girl, which had been magically modified by him, was much stronger.

Even among intermediate magic cards, the six-star Collector's grade Dark Magician Girl's strength could definitely be ranked in the top tier.

In the magically modified background, the Dark Magician Girl inherited the mantle of the Dark Magician and learned the Silent Magician's skills, which was also reflected in Black Magic Inheritance and Silence.

"With the Black Magic Inheritance skill, the Dark Magician Girl's destructive power is even stronger, and she can be used as a Dark Magician. Thinking about bringing out a Red Dad in the future is exciting." Lu Li muttered: "No, it should be Red Mom."

Of course, besides Red Mom, there are many other choices. There are still quite a few patches and fusion materials for the Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl.

For example, the Chaos Ritual, for example, The Eye of Timaeus!

As for the Dark Burning Attack, it is the Dark Magician Girl's finishing move, and it also has a conditional execution effect, so there is nothing much to say.

In one word, strong!

【Congratulations to the host for successfully crafting the first magic card, achievement gift pack issued successfully.】

The system's prompt again made Lu Li a little stunned.

"There is also an achievement gift pack, open it." Without thinking too much, Lu Li opened the achievement gift pack.

【Achievement gift pack opened successfully, congratulations to the host for the first ability Fantasy Construction proficiency improvement, card crafting speed increased by 30%, spiritual power consumption decreased by 20%! Hidden effect opened: Simulation Construction.】

【Simulation Construction: Consumes spiritual power to simulate the magic card crafting process and continuously adjust to achieve the best effect.】

【Achievement gift pack opened successfully, congratulations to the host for obtaining Magic Card Illustrated Handbook!】

【Magic Card Illustrated Handbook: An illustrated handbook containing special abilities. After a magic card is defeated and dies, the re-summoning time is reduced by 50%!】

Fantasy Construction proficiency improved, speed doubled, consumption decreased!

That is to say, if Lu Li constructs a magic card of the same star rating as the Dark Magician Girl again, the speed will be nearly one-third faster, and he can also reduce his own consumption.

The higher the level of the magic card, the higher the difficulty of construction, and the longer the time it takes.

Just the construction of a six-star magic card took him quite a bit of time. If he were to construct seven-star, eight-star, or even higher ten-star magic cards, the time would be terrifying.

Of course, part of this time was spent on the input of the world view, but the total time span was still astonishing.

The construction of high-star magic cards requires not only attention to the world view, magic card background, and materials, but also attention to the Magic Card Master's own consumption during card construction.

One of the biggest problems with high-star magic card construction failure is often that the card construction time is too long, and the Magic Card Master's recovery cannot keep up with the consumption.

The effect after the improvement of Fantasy Construction proficiency is equivalent to indirectly increasing Lu Li's success rate in constructing high-star magic cards.

Let alone card crafting masters, even card crafting grandmasters would definitely be extremely jealous if they knew about the ability of Fantasy Construction.

As for the newly obtained Magic Card Illustrated Handbook, it was also a surprise.

After a magic card spirit dies in battle, although it only returns to the magic card and does not disappear, it takes a period of time before it can be re-summoned.

The higher the grade and rank of the magic card, the longer it takes to re-summon. Some magic cards even take ten days or half a month before they can be re-summoned.

If this were in battle, every second would be precious. The Magic Card Illustrated Handbook directly compresses the re-summoning time by 50%, so it is no exaggeration to call it a divine artifact.

Glancing at the countdown, he found that there was still a short time left, so Lu Li threw out the magic card in his hand without a word: "Come out, Dark Magician Girl."

What was the point of spending so much time crafting a magic card? Naturally, it was for this moment! Lu Li's eyes held a faint hint of expectation.

The black magic circle unfolded with the magic card as the core, and Dark Magician Girl Mana floated out from it, landing in front of Lu Li.

5. Instant kill! Enthusiastic Mana

Wearing a blue cone-shaped hat with pink stripes, her golden long hair shone brightly, and her emerald green eyes were full of innocence and romance.

Around her neck was a yellow collar embedded with a red gemstone in the middle. Her blue off-shoulder tube top was connected to a pink short cape and a pink short skirt, and her fair skin was delicate enough to be broken by a blow.

She held a blue staff with a spherical tail and a vortex-shaped flat sphere at the top, and wore wrist guards and boots that were mainly blue and decorated with pink edges.

Cute! Beautiful! Innocent!

Looking at the real-life Dark Magician Girl in front of him, Lu Li felt for the first time that an anime character had walked into reality. His choice was indeed correct!

While Lu Li was sizing up Mana, Mana also adapted to the surrounding environment. After seeing Lu Li, she excitedly pounced over and directly knocked him to the ground: "Master!"

"So enthusiastic?" Wrapping his arms around Mana, Lu Li was stunned for a moment, then understood.

From the moment a magic card is successfully constructed, it is full of loyalty to the Magic Card Master, with natural favorability at MAX, and will never betray the Magic Card Master.

After all, in a sense, the Magic Card Master is the creator of the magic card spirit, their parent, whether it is an original magic card or a mass-market magic card, it is the same.

"Such high intelligence!" This scene was also seen by Cang Fenghua and the others. Da Bai Man exclaimed: "The grade of this Dark Magician Girl is definitely not low."

The grade of a magic card can be reflected by its intelligence; the higher the grade, the higher the intelligence. Conversely, the higher the intelligence of a magic card, the higher its grade.

"The grade of this original magic card of Lu Li's probably has reached the Collector's level, and the rank will not be too low," Cang Fenghua added: "Actually, when the magic card was formed just now, I had already faintly felt that the unified examination space where Lu Li was located had signs of collapsing. Now it seems that my perception back then was not wrong."

"The grade has reached the Collector's level, and the rank will not be too low!" Hearing Cang Fenghua's words, several people were shocked again! Lu Li's talent had refreshed their cognition once more.

Gu Fa's mouth was almost crooked from smiling; the surprise Lu Li gave him was simply too big.

And Zhao Chengyuan and Da Bai Man were becoming more and more jealous. If jealousy were also graded like pain, the jealousy level of the two would definitely have reached the highest level!

The first stage passed in the blink of an eye. Once the time was up, a loud bell rang throughout the unified examination space, and candidates who had not finished crafting their magic cards were directly teleported out of the examination hall.

"It's over? The first stage has passed just like that?"

"This unified examination was conducted entirely according to the scale of the past college entrance exams. Doesn't that mean I didn't even pass the first stage of the college entrance exam? I don't want this."

On the squares of the three high schools, as more and more candidates were teleported out, they were gradually filled with wails, and the faces of many candidates turned pale.

Apparently, falling in the first stage of the unified examination had put a lot of pressure on them.

However, there were still a small number of students who remained rational. After all, this was only a unified examination, not the real college entrance exam, and they still had a chance.

It was just unknown how many people could grasp the future.

While thinking, all the eliminated candidates received a live broadcast link on their personal terminals, and the broadcasted screen was exactly the candidates who remained in the unified examination space and passed the first stage.

In an instant, everyone understood that although they had lost the opportunity to continue the unified examination, they could watch the subsequent exams in this way.

However, this also made their mood even more complicated.

【Congratulations to all candidates for completing the first stage of the assessment, the current stage is the second stage of the unified examination: Defend against fierce beasts.】

【The second stage will release a round of fierce beasts every five minutes, and only the magic cards crafted in the first stage can be used to intercept them.】

【After all magic cards are killed, the candidate will be teleported out of the unified examination space and lose the qualification to continue the exam. The final ranking of this unified examination will be conducted according to the elimination situation of each candidate.】

"Is the second stage killing monsters? That's right, since the magic card crafting is completed, it's natural to test the strength of the magic card." Inside the unified examination space, Lu Li, who had understood the rules of the second stage, muttered: "Releasing a round every five minutes, I just don't know how the intensity is controlled."

Beside Lu Li, Dark Magician Girl Mana's face was full of confidence: "Master, leave the next battle to me!"

As a magic card spirit, Mana does not reject battle; fighting for the master is the meaning of a magic card spirit's existence.

"This is your first battle, win it beautifully." Hearing Mana's confident tone, Lu Li nodded.

The six-star Collector's grade Dark Magician Girl, at the peak of intermediate magic cards, would not be defeated so easily.

While the two were talking, the figure of a fierce beast gradually emerged in the unified examination space.
