Chapter 56

"Cough, cough!" Facing Lu Li's questioning, Cang Fenghua's gaze became subtle, and he coughed twice and said: "I'm afraid you will be disappointed. I didn't enter the New Moon Land back then."

What? In other words, Cang Fenghua didn't win first place in that session of the Eastern Region college entrance exam? Noticing Cang Fenghua's subtle gaze, Lu Li understood that he had essentially exposed the other party's shortcomings. For a moment, even Lu Li couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed.

"Although I didn't obtain the spot to enter the New Moon Land, you are different," although he was exposed by Lu Li, Cang Fenghua knew that the other party didn't mean it, so he wasn't angry: "According to your performance all along, you have a great chance to obtain first place in this session of the Eastern Region college entrance exam. It is precisely because of this point that I specifically mentioned the matter of the New Moon Land to you today."

"For public or private reasons, no matter which point it is, I hope you can obtain first place in this session of the Eastern Region college entrance exam. Not only me, but also Old Yu and Gu Fa are the same."

"Then it seems I really can't let you down." Hearing this, Lu Li couldn't help but grin. He originally didn't think about holding back in the college entrance exam, and now with the news of the New Moon Land revealed by Cang Fenghua, Lu Li would even less give up on charging for first place in the college entrance exam.

"Alright, since the matter this time has been handled, then I should go too." After talking with Lu Li for another ten minutes or so, Cang Fenghua stood up and left.

If it weren't for the fact that the reward for the Heimen was too special, plus the information about the New Moon Land, and the high expectations he had for Lu Li, Cang Fenghua wouldn't have come in person.

Now that the two matters have been resolved, it is time for him to go back. After all, in the City Lord's Mansion, there are still many documents waiting for him to deal with.

"New Moon Land? If I can obtain the spot to enter, what kind of blessing will I get?" After seeing Cang Fenghua off, such a thought flashed through Lu Li's mind, and then he threw it to the back of his mind, turning to take out the Heimen reward he had just obtained.

Whether it is the New Moon Land or the New Moon Blessing, those are things after the college entrance exam. For now, let's deal with the Heimen reward first. He is also curious about what kind of reward it is that can make a Sovereign like Cang Fenghua envious.

On the storage Magic Card from Cangdu, there is also a special mark. Because of the youth training competition back then, Lu Li recognized that this is the mark of the Cangdu City Lord's Mansion.

With a sweep of his mental power, Lu Li discovered that his previous thoughts had somewhat underestimated the Cangdu City Lord's Mansion.

99. Special Magic Card: Crystallization Technique

Not to mention the funds for a moment, the quantity of materials in the storage Magic Card is not large, even less than the quantity he obtained in the youth training competition and the unified exam, but the quality is terrifying. The materials in it are all very rare, and even the trading platform of the Magic Card Association is not common.

The lowest quality among them has reached the blue grade, purple-grade materials are everywhere, and Lu Li even saw several orange-grade materials!

Orange-grade materials are enough to be used to produce nine-star Magic Cards. Apparently, the materials in the storage Magic Card were carefully selected.

Therefore, although the quantity is not large, any one of them taken out would be enough to beat the vast majority of materials Lu Li had obtained previously on the market. Only special materials as rare as the Holy Dragon Furnace Heart and the Doll Key could compare.

"This saves me a lot of time and energy." After picking a little, Lu Li discovered that among these rare special materials, many are suitable for the Magic Cards he intends to produce next.

Subsequently, Lu Li's gaze was attracted by an item in the corner of the storage Magic Card. It was a Magic Card floating in mid-air, emitting a very special fluctuation.

"This should be the reward City Lord Cang specifically mentioned, a Magic Card?" With a thought, the Magic Card floating in the space appeared in Lu Li's hand, and then information about this Magic Card flooded into Lu Li's mind.

【Crystallization Technique】

Type: Skill Card

Effect: After use, condense the magic power in the body to form a magic crystal. When one's own magic power is exhausted, one can consume the magic crystal to replenish it. The quantity of magic crystals and the upper limit of stored magic power increase with the level of the Magic Card master.

Description: A special Magic Card created by a genius in the ancient times on a whim. It can only be used on Magic Card masters, and each Magic Card master can only use one magic crystal skill card. With the passage of time, the number of existing magic crystal skill cards is extremely rare.

"Crystallization Technique, why does it look like the Golden Core Technique in the novels of my previous life?" After checking the information about this Magic Card, Lu Li had a faint sense of déjà vu. But soon, he understood Cang Fenghua's meaning.

For a Magic Card master, magic power is the foundation for summoning and maintaining Magic Card spirits. Without enough magic power, even a Magic Card spirit with the power to destroy the world cannot be summoned.

In this way, the Magic Card spirit doesn't even have the meaning of existence.

Especially for low-level Magic Card masters, they need to pay more attention to the allocation of magic power consumption. Even for someone like Lu Li, magic power consumption is also a threshold that restricts him from fully exerting his strength.

But now with this Crystallization Technique skill card, perhaps the consumption of magic power will greatly liberate the restrictions on his demand for magic power.

"Besides, the quantity of magic crystals and the upper limit of stored magic power can also increase corresponding to the level of the Magic Card master. This is a growth-type skill card, which means that even if I advance to a higher level in the future, it will still be effective."

"However, this is the first time I've seen an unconventional Magic Card. It's a bit like a counter-trap card and an equipment card, but it can't act on Magic Card spirits and can only act on Magic Card masters." While thinking, Lu Li associated it with the scene where Dark Magician Girl absorbed Magic Cards like the Magic Spellbook, and stuck the skill card Crystallization Technique on his heart position. The entire Magic Card slowly merged into his body.

Immediately afterward, Lu Li discovered that the magic power in his body began to riot at this moment. He could feel that the magic power in his body was decreasing at a rapid speed.

However, the decreasing magic power was not consumed, but surged toward the position where the merged Crystallization Technique Magic Card was located. Finally, when the magic power in Lu Li's body was completely exhausted, a magic crystal emitting a warm luster also slowly generated in his body.

Although it is a pure product of magic power, the appearance of the magic crystal is a bit like the paid Saint Quartz in FGO from his previous life. This special appearance made Lu Li instantly feel a sense of pain, and he didn't know how to complain.

"So, to generate a magic crystal, you need to consume all the magic power in your body?" Withdrawing his thoughts, Lu Li silently sensed the changes in his body again.

The generated magic crystal is not large in size, but it contains all the magic power Lu Li has at the current stage. Once the magic power in his body is in urgent need of replenishment, the homologous magic power in the magic crystal will perfectly merge into it, and there will be no rejection phenomenon.

Besides that, Lu Li also felt that after condensing a magic crystal, it had not reached the limit, which means that the number of magic crystals he can condense at the current stage has not reached the upper limit.

"There is one more point: after the magic crystal is generated, even if the magic power in it is completely consumed, a magic seed will be retained, and the magic seed can automatically absorb the free magic power in the air to replenish it."

"Or I myself can actively drive the magic power in my body to replenish the magic seed. This point is not bad." These abilities of the magic crystal were not introduced in the effects of the Magic Card, but after it was generated, Lu Li knew what these actual effects were.

"It's just that this kind of consumption is really uncomfortable." The magic power in his body was completely drained, and Lu Li had an indescribable feeling of emptiness. However, he knew that this was a phenomenon caused by excessive magic power consumption. As long as the magic power in his body recovers to the minimum warning line, this feeling of emptiness will disappear.

This is also the reason why Magic Card masters generally do not completely drain their own magic power; after all, this feeling is not good.

While Lu Li was silently digesting all this, the magic power in the space was also continuously pouring into his body, replenishing the magic power consumed by converting into magic crystals.

"The recovery speed of magic power seems to have accelerated a bit?" Magic power poured into his body, the feeling of emptiness in his body gradually disappeared, and Lu Li was stunned to find that the recovery speed of magic power this time was a bit faster than before.

However, he was not sure if this was his illusion, after all, this slightly faster speed could almost be ignored.

Shaking his head, Lu Li didn't think too much for the time being. Taking advantage of this time to recover magic power, he once again threw himself into the background and settings of the Magic Card. Anyway, being idle is being idle, and even without the test of the Crystallization Technique, these are things he originally needed to deal with.

Or rather, before Cang Fenghua arrived, he had been organizing the background and setting work of the Magic Card.

Two hours later, noticing that the magic power in his body had completely recovered, Lu Li activated the Crystallization Technique again. The familiar feeling followed, the magic power in his body decreased rapidly again, and the feeling of magic power fullness quickly turned into extreme emptiness again.

"Although I've tried it once, being sucked dry again, this feeling is really hard to take." Lu Li couldn't help but shake his head, and then showed a thoughtful expression: "The speed of recovery has accelerated a bit again? It seems that it was not my illusion."

100. Magic power is in~

Because he kept a watchful eye, Lu Li did not immediately continue to throw himself into the thinking of the new Magic Card background and settings after condensing the second magic crystal, but specifically observed the situation of magic power recovery, and found that it was not an illusion before.

"It can be considered an unexpected surprise." Withdrawing his mind, Lu Li then threw himself into the great cause of card making again.

At the current stage, the capacity upper limit of the magic crystal has been tested, but the quantity upper limit has not yet reached a conclusion, and Lu Li still needs to continue testing.

"So, condensing two magic crystals has reached the upper limit at the current stage?" Another two hours passed. When Lu Li intended to condense the third magic crystal again, no matter how he activated the Crystallization Technique, there was no reaction. Therefore, he had to guess that two magic crystals might be the upper limit of the War General Realm.

"Wait until breaking through to the Commander Realm, perhaps I will be able to know the quantity upper limit of the magic crystal and what kind of incremental way it presents." The sample size is still too small, and Lu Li cannot test the quantity upper limit of the magic crystal for the time being.

"However, counting the original magic power, my total magic power has reached three times the original, enough to support longer battles." Although only two magic crystals have been condensed at the moment, Lu Li is already quite satisfied. At least in the future, when summoning Magic Card spirits to fight, he doesn't have to worry about becoming Ultraman.

With a thought, the figure of Dark Magician Girl appeared in front of him. Looking at her beautiful face, Lu Li subconsciously thought of a question.

Magic power surged, and one of the magic crystals originally stored in his body appeared from his palm under Lu Li's control in the next moment, emitting a brilliant luster under the illumination of the light.

"Master?" Noticing the magic power that was familiar to the extreme in Lu Li's palm, Mana's big eyes blinked with curiosity. After all, she had absorbed a lot of Lu Li's magic power on weekdays.

However, soon, Dark Magician Girl's gaze was attracted by the peculiar and brilliant appearance of the magic crystal. Women, like dragons, do not have much resistance to shiny things.

"Mana, try to see if you can fuse these magic crystals." Lu Li handed the magic crystal in his hand to Mana, and then explained the effects.

Although the skill card of the Crystallization Technique can only be used by Magic Card masters, the magic crystal generated by the Crystallization Technique did not mention this restriction. Therefore, Lu Li guessed whether this magic crystal could be handed over to Magic Card spirits to use.

According to Lu Li's idea, the Magic Card spirits produced by a Magic Card master holding the Crystallization Technique should also be able to use magic crystals. After all, Magic Card spirits rely on the Magic Card master's magic power to maintain their existence, and the energy attribution of the two can be said to be homologous.

Of course, this is also Lu Li's guess, so he still needs to test it, even if it fails, there will be no loss.

What if it succeeds?

As for the Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon and the projection of Timaeus, Lu Li felt that in his small place, he reckoned that when summoning them, the ceiling would be lifted by these two dragon species.

"Okay, Master." Hearing Lu Li's explanation, Mana reached out to take the magic crystal, her face showing an eager expression.

Under Lu Li's guidance, Mana stuck the magic crystal on her heart position. There was no reaction for the first few seconds. Just when both Lu Li and Mana thought it had failed, the magic crystal slowly merged into Mana's body.

"What a special feeling," touching the position of her heart, Mana looked surprised, her face slightly flushed: "I feel that Master's magic power seems to have been injected into my body."

In her words, Mana's face became more and more rosy and blurred. This is an anomaly that only appears when magic power is in a state of fullness and overflow.

Although this is a fact, Mana, you saying it like this is still very easy to make people misunderstand, hey! Besides, if you want to replenish magic, I have plenty of time for you to replenish slowly after testing!

"The magic power reserve has improved. Even if I lose Master's magic power supply, as long as the magic power in the crystal is not exhausted, I can maintain my existence." Mana seemed to have noticed the impropriety in her tone just now and hurriedly changed the subject: "Very magical magic crystal."

It's just that Mana's blushing little face looked very cute and guilty, which had already betrayed her true thoughts.

"So, after merging with the magic crystal, the Magic Card spirit also gained the ability similar to acting alone?" Lu Li showed a thoughtful expression on his face. As he guessed, Magic Card spirits could also use magic crystals, and it also had unexpected effects.

Getting Mana's confirmation again, Lu Li couldn't help but smile. The effect of the Crystallization Technique was unexpectedly powerful, which could be said to solve his problem of magic power consumption almost perfectly.

Now, only the last question remained. While thinking, Lu Li activated the Crystallization Technique again.

"Sure enough, it works!" When only one magic crystal remained in his body, the Crystallization Technique was successfully activated again. Lu Li couldn't help but touch his nose: "Can I count this as successfully exploiting a bug?"

Originally, Lu Li could only hold two magic crystals at the current stage, but because one of the magic crystals was extracted and fused into Dark Magician Girl, it did not reach the original upper limit, and he could still continue to generate new magic crystals.

"However, this might have been one of the effects of the Crystallization Technique originally, it won't be a bad thing anyway." After waiting for the new magic crystal to be generated, Lu Li continued to test with Dark Magician Girl.

It's just that as the number of magic crystals Mana merged into also reached two, no matter how hard she tried next, she was like Lu Li not long ago, and had no way to merge into the third magic crystal.

"Looking at it this way, the quantity upper limit of magic crystals that Magic Card spirits can merge into is very likely determined by the quantity upper limit held by the Magic Card master himself," looking at Mana's cheeks full of rosy clouds because of merging into magic crystals, Lu Li silently guessed: "If I want to test further, it seems I must wait until I advance to the Commander Realm before I can try."

"It feels like I haven't been back for a long time." Another morning, Lu Li returned to Cangling No. 3 Middle School at the usual time. Today is the day of the ancient kingdom's college entrance exam.

Ever since he met Cang Fenghua, Lu Li had not left his home for the rest of the time, but had been constantly perfecting the final background and settings of the Digimon Magic Cards.

Besides that, he reorganized the existing materials once, and selected all the materials he needed to use in the college entrance exam.

As for the remaining materials he hadn't obtained yet, he converted all the unnecessary materials through the authority of rewriting and reorganization. For Lu Li, this final schedule could be said to be very tight, but also very fulfilling.

101. College entrance exam opens, let's do something big!
