Today was still his mentor's class.
Although he didn't grab a spot, thankfully, his mentor had reserved a seat for him.
"Alright, come back early, okay?"
After Nezha excitedly waved to Jiang Yuan, he pondered how to encourage Jiang Yuan No.2 to go out with him.
He wanted to test the power of his Universal Snare.
Nezha stroked his chin in thought, while Shi Ji, understanding his intent with just a glance, advised:
"It's better to just stay home honestly, and wait for Jiang Yuan to come back to take us out to fight."
"Ah? Why?"
Nezha was puzzled, but Shi Ji did not seem inclined to explain.
...
...
"Jiang Yuan, did you manage to create those cards you mentioned the other day?"
Li Yueying asked Jiang Yuan this question as the class was about to end.
"What cards? Can you talk about them?"
As soon as Li Yueying finished speaking, a curious senior from the third grade asked Jiang Yuan and Li Yueying.
"That depends on Jiang Yuan."
Li Yueying said with a smile, gesturing slightly to Jiang Yuan.
"Well, it doesn't seem like something that needs to be kept secret?" Jiang Yuan stood up and asked tentatively, unsure if Li Yueying meant for him to share or to keep it quiet.
"If you don't think it needs to be kept secret, then how about I explain for you?"
Having spent some time together, Li Yueying had noticed that Jiang Yuan seemed to have a bit of social anxiety.
So she offered to speak for Jiang Yuan.
If he felt there was no need for secrecy.
"Uh, sure."
Jiang Yuan nodded, feeling a sense of relief.
Social anxiety really is relieved when someone else takes over for you!
"Initially, Jiang Yuan approached me saying he wanted to create three cards."
Li Yueying, being a teacher, easily began to explain.
"The first is an Equipment Card that can continuously restore Star Power. You all might have seen it—the last time I taught the class when I let him demonstrate card making, it was this card he created, and it has been successfully made."
"The second one is also a Skill Card that can continuously restore Star Power called Nine Breathes right? I remember it was something like that."
Li Yueying said, looking at Jiang Yuan for confirmation.
Jiang Yuan stood up again, nodding: "Yes, that's it, the full name is 36 Transformations·Nine Breathes."
"Right, that card has also been successfully created. Based on what you told me last time, I made it as soon as I went back."
Before Li Yueying could ask, Jiang Yuan proactively spoke, smiling shyly.
"That's great, and the last card?"
Li Yueying nodded in satisfaction before asking further.
"Although the ideas for your first two cards are good, the third card is what really surprised me."
Li Yueying said, turning to the rest of the class: "Want to know what the third card is?"
"Yes!"
The crowd nodded in unison, and without keeping them in suspense, Li Yueying went straight into the explanation.
"He approached me saying he wanted to make a Blue Quality Clone Card."
"Everyone here knows that the lowest quality Clone Card is Purple Quality, and even the cloning effect of Purple Quality Cards isn't very effective."
"They can only serve as substitutes, and cannot really contribute to Combat Power."
"To really be of use in combat, at least Red Quality Cards are necessary."
"So when Jiang Yuan told me he wanted to make a Blue Quality Clone Card, I was quite surprised."
"What materials do you think are needed to make a Blue Quality Clone Card?"
After Li Yueying finished, she looked at the audience.
"Shadow Moon Stone, it's a Blue Quality Material Card, that should do it, right?"
"Illusion Flower, a flower capable of creating illusions somewhere else, is also a Blue Quality Material Card!"
"Mirror Crystal, a Blue Quality Material Card."
"Mirror Image Skill, a Purple Quality Skill Card, plus those just mentioned!"
Upon hearing this last response, Li Yueying's face darkened.
"Using a Purple Quality Skill Card to make a Blue Quality Skill Card, who said that? Such a genius?"
As Li Yueying spoke, the crowd couldn't help but erupt into laughter.
"Alright, let me tell you what Jiang Yuan said he wanted to use to make it."
Li Yueying showed a hint of a smile on her face, and after signaling everyone to quiet down with a clap of her hands, she continued.
"Double Heart Grass, Split Bean, and Two-headed Orc."
After Li Yueying finished, she looked at the audience: "Do you know why he chose these materials?"
"Is the Clone Card he's making intended to have a self-consciousness like the Red Quality Clone Cards?"
Many in the crowd quickly caught on.
Aren't these materials known for their self-consciousness, capable of splitting off into self-aware material cards?
Could it be he really intended to create a truly self-conscious Blue Quality Clone Card.
"The Shadow Body from the Red Quality Cards is made with the same feature, but it's not necessarily successful on a Blue Quality Card."
"So Jiang Yuan failed in card making."
Li Yueying nodded in agreement, looking back at Jiang Yuan: "But did you try again? Did you succeed? What cards did you use?"
