Upon hearing Li Yueying's words, everyone turned to look at Jiang Yuan.
After all, they were not very familiar with Summoning Cards.
The person who understood them the most was none other than the creator of the Summoning Cards, Jiang Yuan himself.
Seeing everyone turning their heads towards him, Jiang Yuan also became somewhat nervous.
"Come, Jiang Yuan, tell us, what prototype did you base your Summoning Cards on?" Li Yueying smiled encouragingly at Jiang Yuan before addressing him.
"Um, fantasy characters."
Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment before finally standing up to address the crowd.
"Fantasy characters?"
Including Li Yueying, everyone looked a bit perplexed, but the next moment their faces lit up with a sudden realization.
So that's it.
Nezha and Shi Ji had no prototypes; they were characters conjured up by Jiang Yuan's imagination.
"So that's why they are called Card Spirits, right?"
"Yes."
Jiang Yuan nodded, and Li Yueying finally understood.
"So now, do you all understand the difference between Character Cards and Summoning Cards?"
"One exists in reality, and the other exists in fantasy," replied a fourth-year youth, standing up.
Indeed, the naming of Character Cards and Summoning Cards already hinted at the difference between the two types of cards.
Character Cards contain figures that have appeared before.
While the figures in Summoning Cards are Card Spirits, beings that exist only in the realm of fantasy.
It is with the power of humans and cards that these Card Spirits are materialized into reality.
"Speaking of which, isn't there a resemblance between Summoning Cards and the Illusion Realm Cards of the Fairy Clan?"
After answering the teacher's question, the youth turned to Jiang Yuan, curious.
The Illusion Realm Cards of the Fairy Clan, while also Scene Cards in essence, are typically referred to as Illusion Realm Cards. The fairies prefer to call them so because the main difference between their cards and Scene Cards is that Scene Cards provide various enhancements, while Illusion Realm Cards purely trap people within them.
Although higher-quality Illusion Realm Cards can indeed cause damage to enemies through the illusion.
Most Illusion Realm Cards work by invoking the deepest Fear in an enemy's heart, trapping them in place.
For example, if a giant dragon appears within an Illusion Realm Card, it is considered a fantastical creature.
Jiang Yuan naturally knew something about Illusion Realm Cards as well.
"Um, there are some differences, I suppose."
Jiang Yuan contemplated for a moment before saying, "The difference between Card Spirits and the fantasy characters in Illusion Realm Cards might just be that Card Spirits are materialized from imagination."
"Materialized from imagination?"
Li Yueying looked at Jiang Yuan, her eyes momentarily clouded with fascination.
If Card Spirits were materialized from imagination, then she might have found the reason why her previous attempts at Summoning Card making failed.
But now was not the time, she was still in class.
She would try again after class when she returned.
It was only a moment later that Li Yueying's eyes regained their clarity.
"Okay, sit down now."
Li Yueying nodded at Jiang Yuan before commencing today's lesson.
"Alright, let's start with some basics."
As the lesson began, Jiang Yuan absorbed the knowledge from Li Yueying's words like a sponge.
Time flew by, and after finishing the last point of the lesson, Li Yueying glanced at the time and then clapped her hands to get everyone's attention.
"That concludes the theoretical part, now let's move on to the practical."
"Is there anyone who would volunteer to make a card in front of everyone?"
After finishing her question, Li Yueying's gaze swept across the faces of the students.
Jiang Yuan shrunk back slightly, with so many people around, please don't pick me.
But sometimes, whatever you fear, comes to pass.
"Come on, Jiang Yuan. As my only disciple, come up and show everyone."
Li Yueying looked at Jiang Yuan with a smile, then gestured for him to come forward.
"Uh, teacher..."
Jiang Yuan wanted to refuse, but seeing the cheerful smile on Li Yueying's face, he ultimately chose to accept.
"Alright then."
After nodding, Jiang Yuan went up and stood on the stage.
Standing next to Li Yueying, Jiang Yuan was somewhat restrained.
"Don't be nervous, you can start making the card now. Do you need any materials? I can have them brought to you right now."
Li Yueying patted Jiang Yuan's shoulder, comforted him, and said.
"No need, I've already prepared the materials. I was planning to start card making after going back today."
Jiang Yuan shook his head, calmed his feelings, and spoke to Li Yueying.
"Oh? Then we're all looking forward to it."
Li Yueying smiled and stood aside, leaving the stage to Jiang Yuan.
"Okay."
After nodding, Jiang Yuan entered his own conscious space.
Star Power Mat begins creation!
First is the drawing process, and without hesitation, Jiang Yuan began to sketch.
First is a palace, with the background including a phantom image of an Alchemy Furnace, and it seems that there are a few gourds hanging on the wall behind.
Then comes the main part, the Star Power Mat.
The Cushion was easy to draw, but Jiang Yuan opted for a deep blue base with specks of white as a highlight.
After signing, Star Power Mat!
With the glow shining, the Star Power Mat was drawn to completion.
"Remember to introduce it."
Upon seeing Jiang Yuan open his eyes, Li Yueying was a bit surprised by how quickly Jiang Yuan drew the card.
However, she simply thought Jiang Yuan had already prepared a draft in advance, and now he just needed to execute it directly.
