.However, what puzzled Talia was that the academy at this moment was much more lively than she had imagined."Mi Qing Cai!"From time to time, the square in the direction ofcould still be heard with a b...Chapter 217: Ranchi takes an optimistic approach.

In the temple beneath the corona, a warm air was filled with the fragrance of grasses and trees surrounding the temple.

Lanche sat on the stone steps, feeling the breeze from this green mountainside. He enjoyed this dreamy leisure time, his expression serene and contented.

Although the principal rarely proctors exams personally, if they do, they make sure not to put pressure on students who are looking at other students' work.

He watched from afar as Kallen was making her card.

The soft light falling illuminated the workbench like a sacred altar, and Kaelen, like a holy maiden guarding a temple, moved with clean, efficient, and silent grace.

In the Shadow World, cards are crafted using materials primarily sourced from dismantling existing magic cards brought in and then re-processing them.

This is also the reason why many so-called "embryos" - useless purple rare magic cards - can still fetch a certain price.

Of course, within this temple, the strange plants and stone debris can also be good materials, as long as one understands their use and harmonizes them with the right proportions.

On the table beside Kathleen, a toolbox held various natural green plants and petals.

She placed the box on the workbench and gently caressed each leaf, as if communicating with them through magic. She took out a feather-like green plant from the box and put it in a special grinder. Using a jade handle, she gently ground it.

As the grinding process progressed, green powder drifted from the grinder, each particle imbued with a unique magical aura. Then, Karen picked up a small bottle of specially prepared transparent magical ink and mixed it with the green powder, adding a touch of lime in the process. During the mixing, the magical fluctuations surged like a whirlwind, accompanied by the green powder swirling within the ink.

After completing this step, Karen gently exhaled, smoothing the work surface and waiting for the ink to merge more perfectly with the green powder. She stared at the workbench again, placing a high-quality disassembled white board card in the center.

Then, she dipped a delicate portable feather pen into the freshly mixed ink. The moment the tip touched the parchment, the magical structure began to rapidly take shape under her meticulous strokes. Every line, every rune, was intricately linked to the wind.

The process of card-making was long and arduous, requiring immense patience and focus. Kaelan's eyes were hawk-like in their intensity, her pen tip dancing across the surface with her wrist, sketching out magical structures lightly yet with absolute certainty.

Time seemed to pass both quickly and slowly. Before the temple's stone slabs, only Karen remained with her magic cards. The card faces she had depicted radiated a soft aura of magical light, like the dawn shining upon a verdant meadow.

"Wow, that's impressive."

Lanche rarely watches others make cards.

Witnessing Kallen, a genuine gold-level magic card maker, crafting magic cards firsthand, I can't help but be in awe.

She must have a very deep understanding of 【Primal Slate - Wind】 to be so resolute in every step she takes.

As for Lance, although he also brought in some decomposable Wind attribute purple rare magic cards, he still hasn't figured out how to use the Wind attribute magic cards based on what he just understood from [Primal Slate - Wind].

Thus, upon comparison, Lance became even more convinced that if it wasn't the Primal Slate—Sealing, Primal Slate—Healing, Primal Slate—Spirit, or the Primal Slate—Light with which he had decent compatibility, then looking at them wouldn't be of much use to him.

Even if he could truly gain an understanding of wind elemental magic engineering, he wouldn't have much chance of making wind-elemental magic cards in the future.

But the mural itself was beautiful, and Lance couldn't help but admire it for a while longer. He had completely lost interest in the barrier runes above.

"Lanchi, lend me an eye."

A crisp thought echoed in Lan Qi's mind.

The great poet was taking the initiative to speak to him.

After Rani's summoning restrictions were lifted, she could come and go freely, and she could also sense what was happening around Lance.

"Alright, don't worry."

Lan Qi felt the agitation of 【Great Love Poet】 within her spiritual space, so she followed her magical fluctuations and allowed her to use her own magic. Gradually, Lan Qi's emerald green left eye was covered by a gleam of azure light.

Although he didn't gain much insight from the original stone tablet, perhaps the great poet of love could understand more than him.

And just like that, time passed.

Lanchi sat on the steps, watching Karen make cards while picking up a good piece of stone material and using the carving knife and brush in her portable card-making tool to polish it.

"Lance, let me make the cards in a while, you help me out."

The great love poet finally sent his thoughts again, arrogantly commanding Lanci.

Then, this time I'll mainly leave it to you.

Lance didn't mind, the great poet was willing to help him with work, so of course he was delighted.

He stood up from the steps, rolled up his wrist cuffs, and prepared to move to a more distant spot, even if he summoned the Great Poet of Love it wouldn't affect Kallen.

The invigilation work is now completed.

……

The Ancient Pagoda Library of the Sage's Institute.

Since Ka-lien and Lance entered the Primordial Tablet realm, more than an hour has passed. Students on the high floors of the library have come and gone countless times.

Besides a few interested students who peeked at the Foundation Center from the railing upstairs, only scholars coming for the routine record-keeping remained.

At the edge of a balustrade with six tiers, beside two armchairs near a small round table on short legs, sat Huberliane and Sophia, leisurely enjoying afternoon tea.

"Observing the stone tablets, if you perform well enough, you can create magic cards. However, since time is limited, if you fail a few times, you'll run out of materials and won't have enough time to complete the card making process."

Sophia and Huberly were discussing what might happen when they went to observe the Master Craftsman's slate.

She finished speaking and glanced at the large clock in the library. If everything went smoothly, it shouldn't be long before the observation of the stone tablet was over.

"It's fine, Lance just has a very optimistic attitude. He doesn't really care whether or not he can make cards."

Hubert smiled, sipping his tea.

She listened to Tata telling her at night about Ranch making cards, ten made nine bombs, and when others bombed cards they would feel ashamed, disappointed, and remorseful. Ranch, on the other hand, even after bombing all of them would still laugh.

"I wish I had Principal Lan's mindset."

Sophia touched her cheek and sighed.

Perhaps it's about being more composed that allows one to control her Eleanor.

"Sophia, promise me, you won't learn from him."

Upon hearing this, Huberlian immediately set down her teacup and gazed intently at Sophia with a hint of warning in her eyes.

She feels like Sophia might also be showing some early symptoms.

Just as the two were chatting, a commotion came from the lower levels, causing them both to rise again from their armchairs and lean over the railing to look down.

Only to see Karlien had already returned from the Primordial Slate Realm back to the Ancient Tower Library.

And on the grand hall's lower level, many scholars left their seats to question Kallen about this observation of the stone tablets.

She is like the moon surrounded by stars, with a contented smile on her face.

On the balcony of the high floor, many students were also curiously looking down. Gradually, many students exclaimed in surprise.

At this moment, Karen's hand was holding a semi-transparent card that emanated a faint pink mist.

She didn't conceal it, directly displaying the magical properties of the card for the scholars to assess.

【Phantom of the Wind】

Category: Spell Card

Rank: Pink Divine

Class: 4

Passive Effect: If dodge is possible, gain a chance to activate Ultimate Dodge every 20 seconds. Activating Ultimate Dodge consumes mana.

Note: Please don't bully me, a weak, pitiful, and helpless person.

Due to the use of portable card-making kits that involve disassembling magic cards and recreating them, magic cards made in the Stone Tablet Realm are much harder to produce than normal ones in the real world. The materials are often only purple rare grade. Karren was able to create a pink sacred one once. On one hand, it demonstrates excellent skill. On the other hand, her foundation itself is already very strong, and she has indeed gained a lot of insight in the Stone Tablet Realm.

"Damn it, I made her a pink sacred one."

Sophia pounded the stone railing in frustration.

Even standing on the sixth floor, she could hear the praises of students for Karen coming from downstairs and from afar.

According to Sophia, Karen had never made two pink sacred cards before. Apparently, this observation was quite fruitful, and for battlefield cardmasters who mixed ranks in the shadow world, these life-saving magic cards were excellent.

Unless Ranch releases an epic or a stronger Holy, she can't be topped.

Sophia looked at Huberly with a touch of anxiety in her expression.

She knows that the craftsmanship of Ranchi cards involves a high upper limit and a low lower limit, which is exactly why Ranchi can reach platinum level.

"It's highly unlikely. Lance's wind affinity isn't great; being able to make magic cards is already a blessing."

Huberlian headshake.

"Wouldn't that mean putting it on her"

Sophia didn't feel any rush about seeing Huberly, she just felt like she was even more impatient than him.

"Lancy probably wouldn't mind too much anyway. He wasn't really competitive to begin with."

Hepzibah shrugged helplessly. She'd never seen Lanche take anything seriously enough to compete with anyone else.

She probably made the cards randomly this time.

As they chatted, they finally saw Lance's figure being transmitted from the front of the void portal downstairs. The

【Original Slate - Wind】, which had transformed into a void portal, also twisted and rotated at this moment until it vanished in an instant, returning to the magic card in Dean Loren's hand.
