In the end, Jiang Yuan still didn't agree to their requests for custom card making.
Mainly because there aren't any cards he particularly needs right now.
For instance, materials for making cards like Shi Ji's Taia Sword or Nezha's Huntian Ling can be bought in stores.
If that's not possible, he could also post missions and exchange Star Spirit Stones for Material Cards.
So, it's not a good time to trade custom cards for precious Material Cards.
He can only wait for a later opportunity.
"How's it going? The second batch of card making is done, do you have more coming up?" Jiang Yuan No.2 stretched lazily and spoke to Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan chuckled: "What, got addicted to the grind?"
"I think you should give me some time off," Jiang Yuan No.2 shot back after giving Jiang Yuan a look.
"That's fair. So tell me, how much of my recent cultivation boost has transferred over to me?"
Jiang Yuan glanced at the little star that represented his Xuanxiao Period strength.
After a period of cultivation, the little star at the early Xuanxiao stage had already been half lit.
But it wasn't just his own cultivation, Jiang Yuan No.2 was also cultivating. How much would it be if their cultivation was combined?
"Let's find out then."
After Jiang Yuan No.2 nodded, Jiang Yuan dissolved his Clone.
The next second, a flood of memories surged into his mind.
At the same time, a considerable amount of Star Power and spiritual power infused him; the surge in spiritual power meant the assault of memories didn't cause him much trouble.
"Seems to feel quite good."
Jiang Yuan checked his cultivation level; the little star representing the early Xuanxiao stage was now more than half lit.
During this time, Jiang Yuan No.2's cultivation hadn't lagged behind.
Indeed, whether it was recovering Star Power after using it up for card making or training after spiritual power had been depleted, Jiang Yuan No.2 had not been idle.
After checking his cultivation, Jiang Yuan once again took out the "72 Transformations · Clone" card.
Since Jiang Yuan No.2 was released by him, not burst by an external force, this card had no cooldown restriction.
Jiang Yuan infused Star Power and spiritual power, summoning Jiang Yuan No.2 once again.
"Indeed, it's feasible."
Obviously, after the Clone was over, Jiang Yuan No.2 retained the same memories as him.
"Then let's cultivate together next, for the sake of my body."
Jiang Yuan No.2 rolled his eyes at Jiang Yuan's laughter but nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I've handed over the third batch of card making orders to you. I'm off to class now."
"Sure, go on, condemned to a life of toil," Jiang Yuan No.2 said as he nodded and then materialized two "Gathering Star Arrays."
"When you have time, hurry up and make the Star Power Mat. The Nine Breathes doesn't last long and has too long a cooldown."
After Jiang Yuan No.2 waved his hands dismissively, Jiang Yuan nodded and headed to class.
"Let's go together."
Just as Jiang Yuan was leaving, he saw Mu Qianshan coming out too.
After calling out to Mu Qianshan, the two of them went to class.
"Are you attending your master's class this afternoon?"
Jiang Yuan nodded slightly: "Of course, it'd be disrespectful not to."
"Besides, there's a lot I can learn from her about card making."
He thought about how the "Nine Breathes" and "72 Transformations · Clone" he made were all thanks to his master's guidance.
Jiang Yuan truly found the elders' experience extremely useful.
Without his master, he might still be struggling with making those two cards.
"Any other cards on your making list?" Mu Qianshan asked with some curiosity.
"Linglong Tower, Fake Shape, and Earth Walking Skill are all nearly in everyone's hands recently."
Mu Qianshan was somewhat excited; these days, he often saw fighters immediately use Linglong Tower upon entering the arena in the official school battle videos.
Either to ensnare the opponent and then amplify their own power.
Or to use Linglong Tower to block a lethal hit from the opponent.
Take, for example, the battle between ranking seventy-seven and seventy-eight.
The student ranked seventieth-seven in the second year had a very powerful Skill Card.
If they had the chance to use it, most people couldn't withstand it.
But now, thanks to Linglong Tower, they've dropped from seventy-seventh all the way beyond a hundredth in ranking.
It's just that the strength behind them wasn't solid enough, so they stabilized past a hundredth place.
Otherwise, they could've fallen past two hundredth.
After all, most within the two hundredth were on the same level, with late Xuanxiao stage strength.
Although he later got smarter and started to wear down the Linglong Tower's duration first.
After all, the duration of Linglong Tower was only three minutes.
Then he employed his powerful Skill.
His own power was also strong, so he easily endured past three minutes.
But the problem was the "72 Transformations · Fake Shape" Skill Card.
Though there are no other items in the Martial Arts Arena, if used in conjunction with Linglong Tower, Fake Shape could seize the Linglong Tower to block attacks for oneself.
If you can't beat them, join them.
He also bought a set of cards afterward.
However, he hasn't received the goods yet.
Once he receives them, he'll definitely devise a counter-strategy, then regain his place in the top hundred!
