Chapter 121: She made a card that can enhance strength_1
However, it seems that Spirit Card Masters in this world cannot achieve that. The higher the level, the better one can grasp this essence. Could it be that the evolution between the two worlds has generated some changes?
Yet cards do have their own advantages, offering a variety of complex abilities and powers. Cultivators, at lower levels, cannot use Spells of such complexity.
There must be subtle differences between the two worlds. At least, when Wen Jiang tried practicing the techniques she used before, it worked, but her progress was clearly not as rapid as when making cards.
It seems each world has its own cultivation method. They can be integrated, but surely the one native to the current world is stronger?
Suddenly, Wen Jiang asked Zero Egg, "Can people in this world live for hundreds of years?"
Zero Egg was shocked. "Of course not! That’s related to the world’s environment. How could humans possibly live that long?"
Oh, so cultivation is against the natural order, and only her world is like that.
No wonder she has to transcend tribulations wherever she is.
Zero Egg was also curious. "Why do you ask this? Do you wish for longevity? Our world does have such technology, but it would be very difficult for you to obtain it. You can’t go to our world to undergo the necessary genetic modification."
Wen Jiang asked, "So why were you able to come to my world?"
Zero Egg replied, "You just pass through spatial turbulence. Humans, however, cannot withstand it. Only system products like us, which aren’t part of the biological life system, can manage this. Even then, it’s not stable; our connection with the higher-ups can be cut off at times."
If the Heart of the World were sensitive enough, it would have detected the incorrect data long ago and investigated thoroughly.
It’s like the saying: ’The heavens are high, and the emperor is far away’—they simply can’t control it.
Wen Jiang was thoughtful. Spatial turbulence, huh...
Ruan Chunen and the others had already begun discussing the peculiar issue with the cards. "Really?" Ruan Chunen exclaimed. "Damn, could it be because of these cards?"
Chen Runyu was also pensive. "No wonder I felt it became easier to control other cards recently."
Dou Yuan suddenly said in a low voice, "It seems that these conditions only appeared after we started using this new batch of cards. Do you think if the Card Maker for the Moon Palace Card Set and the Four Heavenly Kings Card Set is the same person, then the Spirit Card Masters who’ve used the Moon Palace Card Set would also experience this increase in spiritual power?"
After all, it has never been openly stated, and everyone is still guessing whether the Moon Palace Card Set and the Four Heavenly Kings Card Set were made by the same person.
This remark by Dou Yuan plunged everyone into a heavy atmosphere.
If so, the power of these cards is even greater than imagined.
It’s true that Spirit Card Masters need to constantly battle to enhance their strength, but not everyone is lucky enough to advance. Many spend their whole lives stuck at the same level. The fact that these cards bring noticeable improvement upon use speaks volumes about their power.
Shi Qi speculated doubtfully, "Such a strong Card Maker, where did Coach Tang find this person? Could they be the same one who made the Dual-Change Card Set?"
Ruan Chunen said, "The same person? Previously, they made B-Rank cards, and now they can make A-Rank Cards? This Card Maker is incredibly strong!"
Chen Runyu subtly glanced at Wen Jiang.
At this moment, Wen Jiang kept her gaze lowered, appearing nonchalant, but she was actually chatting with Zero Egg.
The topic Chen Runyu and the others were discussing didn’t particularly concern her. However, since Dou Yuan and his group had experienced reactions practicing with these new cards, she figured that if the Moon Palace Card Set produced the same effect, Yan Moling would likely contact her again soon.
Yunxia’s official card sets were only restricted by nationality for purchase, but enforcement was lax. Interested individuals abroad could ask someone in the country to buy the cards for them.
If the card sets Wen Jiang created could enhance spiritual power, the Empire would surely not release them to other countries and would likely impose strict restrictions.
Sure enough, just as Dou Yuan and the others had discussed that morning, Yan Moling called Wen Jiang that afternoon. Yan Moling indicated a wish for Wen Jiang to return to the Jimo Family residence to discuss some important matters.
Discussing such matters outside wasn’t safe; in contrast, the Jimo Family estate was currently the most secure location.
Wen Jiang had a good idea of what Yan Moling wanted to discuss and didn’t refuse. She straightforwardly asked Tang Qian for another leave of absence, stating clearly that she would resolve all card-related issues before the next interview and then focus entirely on preparing for the competition.
Naturally, Tang Qian agreed.
Wen Jiang’s non-participation in the training matches wasn’t an issue. As a coach, Tang Qian saw the situation very clearly: Wen Jiang was performing as if she were merely playing with children.
She controlled her cards with a casual, almost lazy air, never trying to show off. Yet, during training, her card manipulations were flawless—never once erring.
Not even once.
Such terrifyingly precise operations made it clear to everyone, no matter how slow-witted, that Wen Jiang was not on their level. Even if they were all A-Level Spirit Card Masters, the gap between a super-genius and an ordinary person was undeniable. Consequently, no one had any complaints about Wen Jiang not participating in the training matches.
Moreover, Wen Jiang favored using Support Cards to fill gaps. It seemed she was consciously training the operational skills of a few team members. The ’four-protect-one’ strategy Shi Qi had jokingly mentioned was never realized because Wen Jiang was simply too strong. If they truly played that way, her four teammates would be essentially redundant. Such an approach wouldn’t benefit their performance in subsequent competitions at all.
Upon returning to the Jimo Family estate, Wen Jiang met Yan Moling, who was waiting for her at the residence.
Seeing Wen Jiang return, Yan Moling promptly stood up. "Wen Jiang."
Wen Jiang nodded, dismissed the nearby attendant, and then asked, "You had an urgent matter for me?"
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have come in such a hurry.
"About those cards..." Yan Moling began, hesitating slightly. She and her associates were unsure if Wen Jiang herself knew about the cards’ hidden effects, but she decided to address the most important issue first.
"Regarding the Moon Palace Card Set," Yan Moling continued, "after discussions within the Empire, we’ve agreed to make the cards public on the official website. However, they can no longer be sold. We will compensate you for any financial losses incurred. Can you accept this?"
"Of course," Wen Jiang answered decisively. "As long as you compensate me, I don’t mind."
The main point was public disclosure.
Public disclosure met the System’s task conditions; whether more people could use the cards wasn’t important to her.
She guessed the Empire would probably provide them directly to the military. The sheer number of cards those soldiers would consume would be enough for her to earn a fortune.
She also understood the Empire’s reasoning.
Cards this powerful, capable of significantly boosting spiritual power, definitely couldn’t be released to benefit foreigners cheaply.
Yan Moling hadn’t expected Wen Jiang to agree so decisively. This was quite different from what she had anticipated upon arrival. She had wondered what she would do if Wen Jiang felt her interests were compromised and refused.
Slightly taken aback, she asked, "Do you know that your cards can enhance other people’s spiritual power?"
"I didn’t before, but I do now," Wen Jiang said, quite forthcoming, her lips curving with profound meaning as she looked at Yan Moling. "Isn’t that the reason you came? I know what you mean. As a member of the Jimo Family, I naturally stand with the Empire."
