Often, this special charm only appeared in some long-famous card-making masters; Yu Haojia still found it hard to believe until now that he would feel this in a newcomer Magic Card master.

This made him couldn't help but sigh slightly; young people nowadays really don't leave a way for them old people to live.

……

While Yu Haojia was sighing, the movements in Lu Li's hands didn't stop; along with the Heavenly Azure Dragon's Dragon Eyes, all the prepared materials were successively put into the Magic Card editor by him.

Seeing this scene, Yu Haojia couldn't help but sit up straight, his eyes staring tightly at Lu Li; the next step was the final card completion; as long as it succeeded, he would witness Lu Li successfully make his third original Magic Card with his own eyes.

The material solution soaked the card art, and a golden pillar of light shot into the sky, just like when he made the Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon a few days ago, but it was blocked by the barrier set up by Mana and did not successfully break through, spilling all over the room.

"Eh?" Although the spread of the light pillar was blocked, this time even Mana's beautiful eyes couldn't help but widen, because she saw that on the surface of the light pillar this time, there were actually eight new stars entwined.

Although they looked very dim, they were indeed hanging high on the light pillar; previously, whether it was making equipment cards, counter cards, or making conventional sprite Magic Cards, this was an anomaly that had never appeared.

Not only Mana, but Yu Haojia was also confused by this scene, the excitement in his eyes turning into astonishment and confusion.

The appearance of the creation light pillar meant that Lu Li had indeed successfully made a Magic Card, and this new Magic Card was also an original Magic Card; after all, such an anomaly only appears with original Magic Cards.

With the two precedents of the Dark Magician Girl and the Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon, coupled with the preventive vaccination given early on, although Yu Haojia appeared slightly excited, it wasn't that he couldn't accept this setting.

What really made him astonished and confused was also the eight looming new stars on the golden light pillar!

According to the information passed down, there would be a creation light pillar after an original Magic Card is made, but it never mentioned that there would be new stars appearing on the surface of the creation light pillar.

At the very least, in the information Yu Haojia had checked, there was indeed no mention of anomalies on the creation light pillar.

"Could it be that the meaning represented by these eight new stars refers to the level of the Magic Card Lu Li made?" Looking at the eight looming, illusory new stars on the creation light pillar, Yu Haojia, who had no information to support him, could only guess to himself in the end.

In Yu Haojia's view, this possibility was not non-existent; after all, the moment he saw these new stars, his first impression was indeed to think of the Magic Card's level.

But if these new stars really were like his guess, representing the Magic Card's star level, then it would mean that Lu Li skipped the production of seven-star Magic Cards and directly made an eight-star Magic Card, which instead made Yu Haojia extremely shocked.

He even had an intuition that even compared to Undying Realm powerhouses, Lu Li was not inferior to the other party in card-making talent.

As long as Lu Li is given enough time to grow, is there a chance for a fifth Undying Realm powerhouse to appear in the ancient kingdom?

But thinking of this point, Yu Haojia immediately cut off this conjecture.

Lu Li is indeed very talented and potential, but the Undying Realm is far from as simple as imagined; otherwise, the whole ancient kingdom wouldn't only have four Undying Realm regional lords.

Let alone the Undying Realm, even breaking through to the Immortal Realm is not that easy; many Magic Card masters who are stuck in the Sovereign Realm for a lifetime don't take that half step until they die.

Including Yu Haojia, he also didn't have much certainty that he could ascend to the Immortal Realm.

What's more, Lu Li has only just stepped into the path of a Magic Card master right now; even if he has more talent and potential, and more chances to break through, the distance from the Undying Realm is still a bit far, and it is not the time to consider these unrealistic things for the time being.

The creation light pillar entwined by the eight illusory new stars only lasted for a short time, and then it turned into light spots and slowly retracted into Lu Li's body; what followed was a surging backflow of magic power, directly pushing Lu Li's level to a higher level!

【Construction successful; obtained magic power backflow; level increased to six-star War General!】

【Construction successful; obtained magic power backflow; level increased to seven-star War General!】

【Construction successful; obtained magic power backflow; level increased to eight-star War General!】

At close range, Yu Haojia clearly sensed the increase in Lu Li's level, but when Lu Li's soaring level finally settled at eight-star War General, it instead made him even more confused.

What the hell kind of star-level Magic Card is this? Could it be that those eight new stars just now didn't represent the Magic Card's level?

Making a higher-level Magic Card means obtaining more magic power backflow, and the Magic Card master's level increase is naturally higher.

After so many years of development, Magic Card civilization has also groped for a rough reference basis, which can inversely deduce the level of the Magic Card made through the situation of the Magic Card master's promotion.

However, this kind of reference only applies to low-level Magic Card masters; the higher the level of the Magic Card master, the less suitable this reference is. By that time, the total amount of magic power obtained from making a Magic Card is often not enough to make a high-level Magic Card master ascend.

If Lu Li really made an eight-star Magic Card, the magic power backflow obtained shouldn't just make his level increase from five-star War General to eight-star War General; the total amount of magic power backflow obtained is also not right.

Could it be that my guess about those new stars is wrong, and those eight illusory new stars don't refer to the Magic Card's level, but have other meanings?

"This, what exactly does it mean?" No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out; Yu Haojia couldn't help but rub his temples. Since he ascended to Sovereign, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

……

While Yu Haojia was racking his brains and couldn't figure out the card-making anomaly of the Eye of Timaos, falling into a state of confusion, Lu Li also simultaneously sensed that his level had increased to eight-star War General, only one step away from nine-star War General.

"The total amount of magic power has been improved again, and the speed of magic power consumption has also been alleviated to a certain extent. In this way, even if I summon the Red-Eyes Black Dragon, I can support it for a little more time." With a thought, the attributes of the new Magic Card were displayed in front of Lu Li..

60. Special Magic Card · Eye of Timaos!

【Eye of Timaos】

Race: Dragon-type Legendary Dragon

Type: Special Card Projection

Effect: Summon a projection of the Legendary Dragon Timaos; the projection possesses a certain combat power and can fuse with a designated target. After fusion, it does not occupy the Magic Card summoning position, comes with a basic effect of increasing both level and quality by one level, and endows new effects according to the fused object.

"Always feel a bit neither fish nor fowl?" After checking the information of the Eye of Timaos, Lu Li discovered that the type of the Magic Card made this time had changed again, becoming a special card, and it was specially marked as a projection at the end; this was the third type of Magic Card after equipment cards and counter cards.

It was just that unlike equipment cards and counter cards, the Eye of Timaos also has the racial characteristics that conventional Magic Cards possess, but it doesn't have any star level or skills, only effects similar to equipment cards and counter cards.

However, as long as the designated target fuses with Timaos's projection, the level and quality will unconditionally increase by one level; just this point alone is enough to explain the power of the Eye of Timaos.

And according to the different fused objects, the fused Magic Card sprite can also obtain different new effects, which can maximize the response to changes on the battlefield, make tactics more diverse, and also make it difficult for enemies to make effective targeting.

Besides this, the new Magic Card also has an unexpected joy, which is that when the Eye of Timaos is summoned, although it will occupy a Magic Card summoning position, if it fuses with the target Magic Card sprite, it will automatically release the original Magic Card summoning position, meaning it can summon more Magic Card sprites to the field.

Such a characteristic further enhances the status of the Eye of Timaos.

Coupled with the fact that Timaos's projection also possesses a certain combat power, the operational space for using the new Magic Card becomes even larger.

With a thought, the Eye of Timaos fused into his body and floated together with the Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon. After doing all this, Lu Li reopened his eyes.

"Success?" Seeing Lu Li reopen his eyes, Yu Haojia asked subconsciously.

The card-making process just now really had many unexpected places, especially the eight illusory new stars on the final light pillar; until now, Yu Haojia still couldn't figure out the meaning represented by them.

Encountering such a situation for the first time, even if Lu Li's level had increased, without getting confirmation from the other party, Yu Haojia didn't dare to make a rash conclusion.

"Success." Lu Li nodded, and then through telepathy, he learned from Mana about the anomaly caused by making the Eye of Timaos just now, and also knew that this card-making had appeared in different places from the past.

However, even Lu Li couldn't figure out why there would be new changes on the creation light pillar when making the Eye of Timaos this time.

"Could it be because the Eye of Timaos contains part of the power of the Legendary Dragon, but this time it is not making the complete body of the Legendary Dragon, so such a change appeared?" Lu Li guessed silently.

In the background he set, the Dragon Eyes possess the ability to summon the Legendary Dragon Timaos, but the Eye of Timaos after becoming a card is not the true body of the Legendary Dragon, but a projection; perhaps it is because of this reason that eight illusory new stars appeared on the light pillar.

In this way, it can also explain the reason why the type of the Eye of Timaos was set as a special card and specially marked as a projection.

"However, these are just my guesses; whether it is like this or not, it cannot be determined yet." In the end, Lu Li shook his head secretly; he was also not sure if the truth was as he thought.

"Success is good." Getting Lu Li's affirmative reply, Yu Haojia also breathed a sigh of relief. Magic Card production failure, materials destroyed, will affect the Magic Card master's enthusiasm to a certain extent and cause a blow.

Yu Haojia didn't want Lu Li to be hit during this period; the Youth Training Competition and the college entrance exam coming soon were still waiting for the other party.

Next, Yu Haojia didn't put forward further requirements, but there was one point he could be sure of, which was that the new Magic Card Lu Li made this time had reached at least the six-star level.

The magic power backflow Lu Li obtained indeed didn't look like he made an eight-star Magic Card, but the level promotion was a settled fact, because if the level of the Magic Card made was too low, Lu Li wouldn't have been able to rise three levels in a row.

Judging from Lu Li's promotion situation, a high-quality six-star Magic Card is relatively consistent with the conditions, but those eight illusory new stars are still a thorn in Yu Haojia's heart.

"Dark Magician Girl, Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon, and counting the new Magic Card just successfully made, you already have three six-star Magic Cards now." Putting down the doubts in his heart, a trace of sigh flashed on Yu Haojia's face: "In this way, the treatment you enjoy in the Association should also be improved."

Although Lu Li didn't show the attributes of the new Magic Card, and there were unexpected changes in the card-making, Yu Haojia clearly had defaulted that Lu Li's new Magic Card had reached the six-star level, and it was even possible that it exceeded the six-star level.

Successfully making three six-star or above Magic Cards means that Lu Li had already passed the conditions he set back then and could obtain the treatment of an elite member of the Magic Card Association.

Originally, Yu Haojia felt that it was already amazing enough for Lu Li to be able to do this before the end of the college entrance exam, but he didn't expect that before the college entrance exam had even started, Lu Li had already completed it.

Even, it was an over-completion! Because the three Magic Cards Lu Li made were all original Magic Cards!

When he set the conditions back then, he didn't think Lu Li could make original Magic Cards one after another, so he didn't specially add the word "original." In his thinking, Lu Li being able to make an original Dark Magician Girl was already enough to prove his extraordinary potential.

Therefore, even if the two Magic Cards Lu Li made next were non-original six-star Magic Cards, Yu Haojia wouldn't feel there was a problem.

After all, original Magic Cards are not Chinese cabbage, but have not appeared for hundreds or nearly a thousand years.

It was just unexpected that Lu Li actually made three original six-star Magic Cards in the end; this result could be called amazing.

But what followed was more excitement.

Because no matter what, Lu Li came from Cangling City and was a member of the Cangling City Magic Card Association.

The stronger the talent and strength Lu Li showed, the more favorable it would be for the development of the Cangling City Magic Card Association!

"Eh!" Hearing Yu Haojia's sigh, Lu Li roughly guessed that the other party had misunderstood the level of the Eye of Timaos. Strictly speaking, the Eye of Timaos is a zero-star Magic Card like the Magic Spellbook and the Magic Hat.

But the Eye of Timaos can also summon a projection of the Legendary Dragon and possesses a certain combat power.

Although he hadn't tested the strength of the projection yet, Lu Li estimated that the combat power of the projection was probably enough to rival the Dark Magician Girl and the Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon.

Therefore, saying that the Eye of Timaos is a six-star Magic Card doesn't seem to have any problems.

Opening his mouth, Lu Li still didn't explain anything in the end. Let it be a misunderstanding; anyway, it made no difference to him.

Could he still deliberately show the attributes of the Eye of Timaos?

61. Charm Unparalleled · Night Queen

"Regarding the matter of you enjoying elite member treatment, I will arrange it after returning to the Association." After sighing, Yu Haojia continued: "If it's fast, the information you left in the Association will be updated synchronously in these two days; you can pay attention to it then."

"The treatment of an elite member is not something an ordinary member can compare to; for example, when buying materials, there will be a certain degree of discount; in taking on tasks, there is priority, and so on."

"These are just the most basic treatments enjoyed by elite members; as for more differences, you will have to wait for yourself to slowly dig them out."
