Chapter 59

105. Primordial Era · Special Magic Card

The college entrance exam is different from ordinary card crafting; the test of a Magic Card Master's state of mind is increased countless times over. Many examinees who can normally craft Magic Cards in their daily lives fail and fall off the list simply because they cannot withstand the pressure here.

And in these four hours, Principal Gu Fa and the other principals saw that some students who usually performed quite well had already made mistakes and failed several times due to nervousness. This is the manifestation of poor performance under the pressure of the forest field test.

"Rest assured, having been able to construct two original worldviews, Lu Li's temperament is already far beyond what an ordinary Magic Card Master could possess. Perhaps in this regard, we might not even compare to him." Cang Fenghua patted Yu Haojia on the shoulder and comforted him.

In terms of strength, even if Lu Li were to promote to the Commander Realm, he would not be their opponent; the gap in rank and strength is right there. But if discussing temperament, Lu Li might not be much worse than them. And in terms of pure talent, the people present were directly crushed.

"The City Lord is not wrong. Besides, even if the crafting of an original Magic Card fails, this does not mean Lu Li cannot craft non-original Magic Cards," Zhao Chengyuan also spoke up: "With the talent Lu Li has displayed, crafting non-original Magic Cards is not a big problem for him."

It was not just Cang Fenghua and the others; far away in Cangdu, Shangguan Hong and Shangguan Pu saw this scene and also felt a little regretful. They were also guessing whether Lu Li had just failed in crafting the Sacred Plan.

However, although the two felt regretful, they were not too surprised. After all, Magic Card crafting was never smooth sailing, not to mention that the difficulty of crafting an original Magic Card is countless times harder than a non-original one.

"How is the situation over at Wan'er's side?" Temporarily putting aside his focus on Lu Li, Shangguan Hong asked about Shangguan Wan'er's situation. Although he held expectations for Lu Li, Shangguan Wan'er was his own granddaughter.

"Everything is still considered normal." Mentioning his daughter, a knowing smile rose on Shangguan Pu's face: "Having lost to Lu Li in the youth training competition not long ago, although Wan'er didn't say much, we could still see that there was quite a stir in her heart."

"I heard Ni Yu mention that Wan'er intends to take advantage of the pressure of this college entrance exam to impact and craft a seven-star Magic Card."

Ni Yu, Shangguan Pu's wife, is also Shangguan Wan'er's mother. The relationship between the mother and daughter can be described as very harmonious, and because of this, Ni Yu is clearer about Shangguan Wan'er's state.

"Only with motivation will there be progress. I said back then that losing to Lu Li was not entirely a bad thing for Wan'er." Shangguan Hong nodded with slight satisfaction: "If I remember correctly, Wan'er's seven-star Magic Card had already been prepared and planned a long time ago. With Lu Li's stimulation and the pressure of the college entrance exam, perhaps she can successfully break through the construction shackles between intermediate Magic Cards and advanced Magic Cards."

As a descendant of an Immortal Realm Magic Card Master, Shangguan Wan'er's talent is not bad. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of a Lu Li, Shangguan Wan'er would be the strongest examinee of this batch in Cangdu.

……

"Failed, huh." In the Cangdu City Lord's Mansion, Cang Ao's tone carried a hint of regret. After all, the other party was an examinee favored by his grandson, and also an examinee from Cangdu.

Coupled with the fact that some time ago, he heard his old friend Shangguan Hong mention Lu Li, and mention the other party's performance in the youth training competition, Cang Ao naturally had high expectations for Lu Li.

"Although he failed, the new worldview Lu Li crafted has indeed been recognized by the Magic Card civilization." Meng Ningdie also carried regret on her face; she had already regarded Lu Li as her junior brother.

As for refusal?

Meng Ningdie hadn't even thought in that direction at all. The news of the only four Undying Realm powerhouses in the ancient kingdom taking on apprentices—if this news were to spread, the Magic Card Masters who heard the news would probably be able to line up from the Eastern Domain to the Western Domain.

Of course, if the Night Queen were to go against the norm and not recruit Lu Li as a student, then Meng Ningdie would have nothing to say.

"Perhaps Lu Li did not fail!" Her cherry lips parted slightly, and the Night Queen's charming voice reached the ears of the two.

"Perhaps he didn't fail? That is to say, Lu Li succeeded?" Hearing the Night Queen's words, Meng Ningdie's expression was hesitant, and Cang Ao, who was on the side, also carried questions in his gaze.

Crafting an original Magic Card would result in a creation light pillar; this can be said to be the unique identifier of an original Magic Card, and just now, they had not seen this scene.

Although Meng Ningdie and Cang Ao were strong, they were not original Magic Card crafters, so they were equally unaware of the ins and outs.

But just because they didn't know didn't mean there was no one here who knew. If one were to say who in the entire Cangdu, or even the entire Eastern Domain, had the most authority to answer their doubts, it would naturally be the Domain Lord before them, the Night Queen.

What's more, the one denying them was the Night Queen, so they could only wait for the other party's explanation.

"In the current era, the Magic Cards crafted by Magic Card Masters are generally just Magic Card Spirits, and in the Primordial Era, Magic Card Spirits were called Spirit Magic Cards." After pondering for a moment, the Night Queen slowly told a piece of unknown history.

"Besides Spirit Magic Cards, there actually exist some special Magic Cards. These special Magic Cards are classified into different categories, such as Equipment Cards, Counter Cards, and Skill Cards, etc."

"Special Magic Cards? Skill Cards?" Hearing this, a thoughtful expression appeared on Cang Ao's face.

He was unaware of the Equipment Cards and Counter Cards the Night Queen mentioned, but he did know about Skill Cards. After all, among the rewards given to Lu Li for resolving the Black Gate, there was a Skill Card, Crystallization Technique, and it came from his own hands.

Not only the Crystallization Technique, but there were also several Skill Cards in the Cangdu Mansion. These Skill Cards had already existed before he took over Cangdu, having been taken over from the previous City Lord. In fact, these Skill Cards had existed for even longer than the previous City Lord had governed Cangdu.

And the crafting of these Skill Magic Cards had already been lost; it could be said that there was one less for every one used.

Back then, Cang Ao had also considered that Lu Li's rank was too low, and the magic power consumption for summoning and maintaining a six-star, or even seven-star, Magic Card Spirit would be terrifying, which was why he put the Crystallization Technique into the rewards.

It was just that he hadn't expected that behind this Skill Card, there was such an unknown history and story.

"Magic Card spirits can use the effects of special Magic Cards to further strengthen their own power, thereby unleashing even greater strength." As Cang Ao pondered, the Night Queen continued to introduce information about special Magic Cards.

"However, even in the Primordial Era, the number of Magic Card masters capable of crafting special Magic Cards was extremely scarce. By the present era, these special Magic Cards are only recorded in historical legends and fragmented ancient texts; under normal circumstances, there is simply no way to come into contact with them."

"Even I have not crafted many special Magic Cards over these many years." Having said this, the interest in the Night Queen's beautiful eyes as she looked toward Lu Li grew even stronger.

106. The First Digital Magic Card: Sistermon!

"Spirit Magic Cards and special Magic Cards?" Compared to the skill cards among the special Magic Cards that Cang Ao had once come into contact with, this was the first time Meng Ningdie had heard that there were other types of Magic Cards. She couldn't help but feel a surge of intense interest: "Could it be that what Lu Li just crafted is actually one of those special Magic Cards the Master spoke of?"

In Meng Ningdie's view, the importance of this information was enough to rival an original Magic Card, and its shock value was even more intense. After all, even the Night Queen hadn't crafted many special Magic Cards over these years, which showed just how great the difficulty of crafting them truly was.

If Lu Li had really just crafted a special Magic Card, then his talent would be even more terrifying than imagined.

Hiss! Is this guy even a normal human? Could Lu Li actually be some reincarnated ancient bigwig? At this moment, even Cang Ao and Meng Ningdie couldn't help but feel their scalps go numb.

"That is merely a possibility." The Night Queen shook her head slightly. She was actually only guessing, but whether it was truly so, she couldn't say for sure. After all, the completion of a special Magic Card does not produce any strange phenomena, even for an original special Magic Card.

When Lu Li crafted the Magic Hat and Magic Spellbook back then, there were indeed no pillars of light.

Regarding this, the Night Queen still harbored some doubts in her heart. It was precisely because she had crafted special Magic Cards before that she understood the difficulty involved.

This so-called difficulty does not refer to the crafting process, but to the difficulty of the background and settings. Without a suitable background and setting to support it, the Magic Card spirit cannot use it, and crafting it would be meaningless.

Furthermore, if the background setting of a special Magic Card conflicts with the Magic Card spirit using it, it could even lower the spirit's original strength, which would be a loss that outweighs the gain.

After all, a special Magic Card is based on the completion of a Spirit Magic Card; there has always been a Spirit Magic Card first, and then the Magic Card master crafts the corresponding special Magic Card.

It is precisely because of this that even someone as strong as the Night Queen has not spent too much energy on these special Magic Cards; after all, the Spirit Magic Card is the foundation.

But Lu Li is crafting a new worldview, which means he crafted a special Magic Card before even crafting a Spirit Magic Card, and that is not logical either.

The Night Queen also did not expect that one day she would see the suspected crafting of a special Magic Card from a college entrance exam candidate.

Although these were only the Night Queen's guesses, the appearance of a second original worldview, coupled with the suspected crafting of a nearly lost special Magic Card, made Lu Li's performance already astonishing enough!

【Sistermon, a female Digimon wearing a doll suit, divided into white, black, and sky blue forms; under normal conditions, Sistermon appears in the white form.】

【Unlike her twin sisters—the black one, who has a super sunny personality and acts as a mood-maker with innocent and naive behavior, and the sky blue one, who has a steady and generous personality with a resilient heart—the white one's personality is relatively introverted.】

【Utilizing the characteristics of network evolution, Sistermon can switch between the three forms and also possesses an ability called Awakening. After awakening, Sistermon can release even greater power in a short period of time.】

【According to the different evolutionary paths of their respective forms, Sistermon can evolve into higher-level Digimon of different types to adapt to different combat environments.】

After checking the information on the Digivice, Lu Li plunged back into the crafting of Magic Cards. Having delayed for such a long time, Lu Li finally began to craft a Magic Card that would be considered "normal" in the eyes of Magic Card masters.

This time, what he wanted to craft was naturally Sistermon, which he had been researching for a long time. Compared to crafting Dark Magician Girl and Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon in the past, the speed of crafting Sistermon was much faster, even faster than crafting the Digivice.

In Lu Li's conception, the initial level of Sistermon was not higher than that of Dark Magician Girl and Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon; on the contrary, it was slightly lower.

【Magic Card background passed, please perfect the card art and add materials!】

A few seconds later, the image of Sistermon appeared in the Magic Card constructor. A series of materials such as the Doll Heart and the Holy Trident were added by Lu Li, turning into a solution that continuously soaked and covered the Sistermon Magic Card.

【Construction successful, obtained Magic Power Backflow!】

The heaven-reaching pillar of creation was like a physical substance, piercing through the exam space where Lu Li was located, forming a very magnificent spectacle.

Seeing this scene, Cang Fenghua and the others, who had become regretful and worried thinking Lu Li had failed to craft the Digivice, were all attracted by the pillar of creation at this moment and couldn't help but sit up straight.

"He succeeded!" Gu Fa, who had been worried, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when he saw this scene.

Not only Gu Fa, but Cang Fenghua and Yu Haojia also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, although they had confidence in Lu Li and thought very highly of him, it was only until now that they felt the heavy stone in their hearts could finally be put down.

They certainly didn't want a single exam to ruin a Magic Card master with a bright future.

"I wonder what level the Magic Card Lu Li successfully crafted this time has reached." Since Lu Li had already successfully crafted a Magic Card, Gu Fa's mind became active, and he muttered: "However, no matter what level the Magic Card is, as long as it is crafted successfully and can pass the first stage, then everything is fine."

Unless the Magic Card master voluntarily displays the Magic Card data, even for an original Magic Card that causes such a large phenomenon, other onlookers have no way of knowing the level and attributes of the Magic Card.

"I'm afraid it won't be lower than six stars." After pondering for a moment, Yu Haojia slowly spoke of the phenomenon triggered when Lu Li crafted the Eye of Timaeus back then: "I think it is very likely to be a seven-star Magic Card, perhaps even an eight-star Magic Card, who knows."

At this time, there was no need to hide anything.

"Eight stars!" Except for Cang Fenghua, who had already heard Yu Haojia mention it, Gu Fa and the others were all stunned. It was only until now that they knew Lu Li still had such an outrageous trump card in his hand!

You must know that in all previous college entrance exams, an eight-star Magic Card had never appeared! If what Yu Haojia said was true, then even if Lu Li only crafted the lowest-level one-star common Magic Card in the first stage, it would not prevent him from achieving top-tier results in the college entrance exam.

The gloom that had originally been there because Lu Li "failed" his first Magic Card crafting also dissipated. This is basically having a "King Bomb" in hand; he can do whatever he wants!

The people in Cangdu who were paying attention to Lu Li's college entrance exam were much steadier than Cang Fenghua and the others.

"He did indeed succeed." The Night Queen nodded. As an original Magic Card crafter herself, she had triggered such phenomena many times.

"Speaking of which, the last candidate who could attract the attention of Lady Night Queen dates back to the time of the Meng girl." Cang Ao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back into his chair.

This scene was very rare. Looking at past college entrance exams, very few candidates could reach the point of alarming so many bigwigs, and even the Night Queen, the Lord of the Eastern Domain.

Counting back, it was only when the Night Queen recruited Meng Ningdie as a student that such a scene had appeared.

"Isn't this exactly what you wanted to see?" The Night Queen looked at Cang Ao with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, and the latter could only awkwardly shift his gaze.

After all, he had indeed slightly utilized Meng Ningdie; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to pique the Night Queen's interest. But for the sake of Cangdu, was it easy for him?
