However, it was precisely because of this Red Quality natural treasure that Jiang Yuan's Star Power was able to increase at a quicker pace.

Otherwise, by the time the four-school Joint Examination ended, he might still be, like Mu Qianshan, in the Mid-stage of Jianglu Realm.

To be honest, it is unknown whether it's because Mu Qianshan doesn't make cards, and can devote more time to cultivation.

The speed of cultivation for both of them was almost the same.

Although Jiang Yuan spent much less time on training than most.

So basically, the strength of both of them was more or less on the same level.

However, this time, Jiang Yuan's Realm of strength was somewhat higher than Mu Qianshan's.

Perhaps it was due to the Spirit Marrow Jade Lotus.

I still remember the words Mu Qianshan said before the Joint Examination started.

"I train hard every day, why can't I catch up to you?"

Thinking about Mu Qianshan's somewhat depressed look back then, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but want to laugh.

But after laughing, Jiang Yuan still needed to think about how to obtain the second Star Power Light Ball.

Because of the old principal's words, at the very least, those who advanced from the second battlefield wouldn't agree to exchange materials with him.

After all, the Star Power Light Ball is also a relatively rare item that can aid in cultivation.

If the relationship was still okay, perhaps it could be exchanged for something else.

But now…

Jiang Yuan helplessly shook his head, then suddenly thought of someone.

Ai Xiu!

He had also entered the top two hundred teams, perhaps it would be possible to exchange with her.

After all, she still wanted me to make a card for her.

If not, just see what her needs are, and directly make a card for her.

Jiang Yuan stroked his chin: "But it seems I don't have his contact information?"

"Nevermind, I'll go find him tomorrow."

Jiang Yuan slightly shook his head and then lay down to sleep.

Although with his strength, he didn't really need to sleep to replenish his spirit, and going without sleep for three or four days wouldn't be a problem.

But at the four-school exam battlefield, it was really tough to get good sleep, practically no different from not sleeping at all for three or four days.

An uneventful night passed!

The next morning, Jiang Yuan headed excitedly towards the square.

The battles in the second battlefield had ended, but the battles in the first and third battlefields were still ongoing.

Theoretically, at this moment, most people would go to watch the battles.

If the chance of running into Ai Xiu here wasn't big, he could still ask his mentor.

Or other teachers as well.

However, Jiang Yuan was indeed lucky, as soon he reached the square, he saw Ai Xiu.

"Ai Xiu?"

Jiang Yuan adjusted the expression on his face, showing a somewhat genuine fake smile before going up and patting Ai Xiu on the shoulder.

"Jiang Yuan?"

Luckily, he didn't pat the wrong person.

Seeing that it was indeed Ai Xiu who turned around, Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, I have a question for you."

"You say."

Jiang Yuan was cautious, but Ai Xiu responded with a somewhat excited tone.

"What kind of card do you want to make? Any specific requirements?"

"Ah!"

A joy rose in Ai Xiu's heart, it seemed like the card she wanted was going to materialize!

Indeed, approaching Jiang Yuan was the right choice.

"You know, I am an archer."

[I didn't know.]

Jiang Yuan inwardly retorted, but he didn't interrupt Ai Xiu.

"I have a skill that allows me to hit the target as long as I can see the opponent, no matter where they are, what obstacles are in the way, I can hit them directly."

"Oh?"

Jiang Yuan was somewhat surprised: "Such an effect from a card sounds very powerful."

"Yeah, but the problem is I can't see well," Ai Xiu spread her hands, looking helplessly.

"Uh?"

Jiang Yuan looked at Ai Xiu's eyes curiously, successfully making Ai Xiu's face darken.

"I'm not blind."

"My point is, if they hide behind cover, then I can't see them, and naturally, this skill would be useless."

"So, you want to have x-ray vision?"

After being silent for a while, Jiang Yuan finally asked Ai Xiu with some curiosity.

"Pretty much, but not just x-ray vision, also long-sightedness."

Ai Xiu pondered for a while before saying with some uncertainty.

"I've looked into these types of skill cards before, but those with x-ray vision generally start at Red Quality."

"Long-sightedness is a bit better, but it's mostly useless for me; as an archer, my vision is quite good."

"Then I also found out that long-sightedness and x-ray vision can't be combined. Even Red Quality Cards with x-ray vision skills have a range, and it's quite small at that."

"Is there really x-ray vision?"

Jiang Yuan was also startled to hear that there really were cards capable of x-ray vision.

Doesn't this mean that if someone uses an x-ray card on him, they could see his entire body?

How scary!

"It's not what you think."

Seeing Jiang Yuan reacting this way, Ai Xiu immediately rolled her eyes and said dismissively.

"X-ray vision can only work on obstacles and such; if it directly affected humans or other creatures, it would be detected immediately."

"Moreover, if someone is wearing defense equipment or using a Defense Type skill card, these defenses can block the x-ray function."

"Oh, I see."

Jiang Yuan nodded awkwardly, but quickly caught on.

Speaking of which, isn't there a skill in the 36 Transformations that can combine x-ray vision and long-sightedness?

See-through Barriers!

It allows one to see through obstacles to what lies behind them.

And the range of See-through Barriers is also very broad. Unlike typical x-ray and long-sightedness skills, it directly affects the eyes.

"If that's the case, I might have some ideas."

After mulling it over for a while, Jiang Yuan finally spoke to Ai Xiu.

"But the problem is, this is just an idea, so it might require using some Material Cards to experiment."

"Of course, the Material Cards are on me. I know the rules," Ai Xiu smiled, not minding at all.

You know, if my idea works, then that skill of mine would be unstoppable.

What does it matter what I spend on the materials for that skill?

"That's good, you just need to provide the materials, nothing else."

Based on Jiang Yuan's current prices, customizing a card would cost about five hundred Mid-grade Star Spirit Stones.

That's roughly the cost of ten ordinary Purple Quality Material Cards.

But this amount of money is trivial compared to the rewards for ranking in the top ten in the second battleground of the Joint Examination.

"So, Mr. Jiang Yuan, what do you need from me this time?"

After discussing the card issue, Ai Xiu revealed a sly smile and asked Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan, who was cold to her yesterday, suddenly coming to her today must mean he needs something.

But he's not a fool; of course, he would take care of his own affairs before asking Jiang Yuan what he needs.

But it seems Jiang Yuan is a bit thin-skinned.

It's almost embarrassing to take advantage of him.

Ai Xiu smiled, but Jiang Yuan scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Well, I came to see you today because there really is something."

"Just say it, if there's any way I can help, I definitely will," Ai Xiu said, punching her chest with a fist, a picture of righteousness.

"I need to make a breakthrough to Great Liang, and I'm short of one Star Power Light Ball. You know about yesterday's incident, it's obviously impossible to go to others for an exchange, so I had to come to you, what do you think..."

"Of course!"

Ai Xiu's immediate agreement thrilled Jiang Yuan, but Ai Xiu hadn't finished her sentence.

"But you're too late. I used up the white Star Power Light Ball awarded by the old principal last night."

Ai Xiu spread her hands, but Jiang Yuan's face darkened immediately, and he almost turned around to leave.

Are you playing with me?

"But if you really need it, I'll think of a way for you."
