Dancing with the Rising Sun

Chapter 190 - 146: Challenge from the Second Graders (Author's Note)


"Material Card Qi Conversion Tree, Material Card Nine-Hole Demon Stone, Skill Card Compression Surge!" Jiang Yuan declared resolutely.


These three materials were what he immediately thought of after Shi Ji finished speaking.


The Qi Conversion Tree provides the effect of converting Star Power.


The Nine-Hole Demon Stone itself is a stone that absorbs Star Power and then enhances its own hardness.


Jiang Yuan was interested in the material's ability to absorb Star Power.


As for the final Skill Card [Compression Surge], it was even simpler.


It compresses the absorbed Star Power, and then releases it all after nine breaths.


The Nine-Hole Demon Stone allows one's body to absorb Star Power, and it can also release excess, unbearable Star Power through the holes that absorb Star Power in the body.


This achieves the effect of the Nine Breathes!


Jiang Yuan was very excited; he had a feeling.


He would definitely succeed this time!


"Okay."


Li Yueying nodded in agreement after glancing at Jiang Yuan.


She does not currently have these cards in stock, but they can be delivered shortly after placing the order.


Jiang Yuan did not speak; he was thinking through the production methods for the remaining two cards according to this plan.


Using the Gathering Star Array as the main body for the Star Power Mat should also pose no major problem.


But after having [Nine Breathes], is the [Star Power Mat] still necessary?


That is a question.


And as for the clone, if viewed in this manner.


The issue with the clone should not be splitting, but more like an external embodiment.


Using the method to make a Summoning Card?


No, it shouldn't be the method of making a Summoning Card, although both use Star Power to reconstruct a body, there are differences from the Summoning Card.


It should be…


Separation?


Jiang Yuan wasn't entirely sure, but felt this was the most likely possibility.


"Let's make the Nine Breathes first, and discuss the two cards later."


Jiang Yuan slightly shook his head and made a decision in his heart.


Shortly after, the cards that Li Yueying had just purchased were delivered.


Jiang Yuan did not hesitate and immediately began making them.


Li Yueying watched Jiang Yuan making cards with a tinge of regret.


It would have been nice if Jiang Yuan was making Summoning Cards this time.


But it wasn't a big issue, now that Jiang Yuan was her own disciple.


There's plenty of time ahead~


Having treated him so well, could he always keep secrets from her, his teacher, and stay wary of her?


Li Yueying felt a slight joy in her heart, but did not show it.


She had also noticed that Shi Ji was paying attention to her.


Although she didn't know what issue had arisen to make Shi Ji pay such attention to her.


But as a woman, she understands there's a talent called "woman's intuition"!


Li Yueying chuckled softly, and soon Jiang Yuan had finished the drawing and signature, ready to start fusing the materials.


After integrating the three newly purchased cards, Jiang Yuan looked at the blue quality card in front of him and couldn't help but hold his breath.


It seemed like a long time had passed.


In the next second, the blue light on the card finally flickered.


Card making successful!


Seeing this scene, Jiang Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief, his face showing a happy smile.


Indeed, his feeling was right.


He had finally succeeded.


Jiang Yuan reached out for the card in front of him and began examining the information on the card.


[36 Transformations·Nine Breathes]


Quality: Blue


Type: Skill Card


Skill:


[Nine Breathes] (2/2): Absorbs a large amount of Star Power during breathing, and every nine breaths, it refills the missing Star Power in the body, any excess will be dispersed.


Single duration lasts thirty minutes, cooldown time two hours.


"Let's test the effect."


Seeing Jiang Yuan's surprised look, Li Yueying signaled him and said.


"Okay."


Jiang Yuan nodded, then gestured to Shi Ji.


Shi Ji nodded, invoking one Undead summoning after another, and soon Jiang Yuan felt his Physical Strength being depleted.


"What is this?"


"Oh, this is Shi Ji's skill, capable of summoning Bone Spirits."


"Summoning Bone Spirits?"


Li Yueying looked intrigued as she glanced at the Bone Spirits resembling summoned beings of the Undead Clan, then saw Jiang Yuan had already used the card.


[36 Transformations·Nine Breathes] was used, and Jiang Yuan's pores seemed to open up, with each breath drawing copious amounts of Star Power into his body.


After the ninth breath, the massive Star Power instantly replenished both his and Shi Ji's internal Star Power.


Probably it used less than one-third of his internal Star Power, the rest of the excess Star Power was released through the body's pores.


"The effect is surprisingly good!"


Jiang Yuan was somewhat excited; this blue quality [36 Transformations·Nine Breathes] felt like something he could use for a long time.


But that makes sense, as during the Xingji Period, the reserves of Star Power aren't that much, usually, people use white quality Skill Cards.


Even white quality Skill Cards that continuously replenish Star Power are sufficient for the recovery of Star Power in the late stages of Xingji.


Now using a blue quality Star Power recovery Skill Card, obviously, it could restore much more Star Power.


However, Jiang Yuan was also nearing the strength of the Xuanxiao Period.


Every day, not only was he practicing in the Gathering Star Array, whenever there was no class or more time available.


Jiang Yuan would also choose the opportunity to practice at the Falling Star Cliff using his academic credits.


Jiang Yuan's Star Spirit Stones were all used up purchasing Material Cards, and the credits were used up due to exchanges for tutoring sessions at the Falling Star Cliff.
