Card Creator: My Cards Unlimited Chain.

Chapter 504: Scholar's Parts

Theoretically speaking, as long as one of the two coefficients reaches 1.5, a breakthrough can be achieved, but the difficulty of increasing the two coefficients varies.

Increasing the upper limit coefficient of the soul energy well is much more difficult than increasing the limit of mental pressure.

Whether experiencing a life-and-death crisis or using some rare treasures, mental stress is likely to increase, but the upper limit of the soul energy well... It is extremely difficult to increase it by 0.01. Except for some truly rare opportunities, there is basically no way to change the soul energy upper limit coefficient.

As for natural growth, 1.3 is basically the limit, and this requires very good talent... Obviously, this is far from the breakthrough standard.

Therefore, basically, the coefficient that the soul card master relies on to break through the seventh level is the limit of mental stress - this coefficient is indeed very important.

at this time.

hum!
Yu Cang suddenly felt his personal terminal vibrate, and someone sent him a message.

He took it out and looked at it, his brows raised.

"Old man Ren?"

The person who sent the message was Ren Zheng.

What does he want to do with me at this time?
Yu Cang looked at it intently. Ren Zheng said nothing. He just threw a file to him. The name of the file was "New Document (36)". A sense of carelessness came over him.

“…It’s time to clean up Mr. Ren’s computer desktop.”

Just by looking at the name, he could already imagine that Ren Zheng's desk must be packed full now.

Thinking of this, Yu Cang opened the document and started reading from the beginning... As soon as he read it, his eyes changed immediately, from carelessness to frowning, then to surprise, and finally to seriousness.

“Hiss… this…”

The contents of the document were nothing but detailed information of a few soul cards.

……

Soul Card Name: Limbless Shell

Category: Summoning Card
Number of anchor points: 1
Quality: Connected

attribute: none

Race: Beast/Humanoid
ability:

Fully connected soul card*1
[General·Remnant]: This Soul Card can only be activated when a Rhythmic Body that meets the requirements accepts the Summoning.

[Carrying Objects]: When this soul card exists, other "scholars" connected soul cards can also be connected to this soul card.

……

Yu Cang frowned when he saw the first soul card.

What is drawn on this card...

A body, no arms, no legs, no head, just a body.

At least the human stick still has a head, but it doesn’t even have a head!
Just as the name of this soul card suggests, this is a "limbless body".

Glowing rings composed of countless rhythms surround this body, and countless rhythms also appear and disappear on its skin... This makes the painting style not so weird, but rather sacred, as if it is some kind of holy relic.

If it weren't for the abundant particle effects, he almost regarded this card as a banned card.

At first glance, this Soul Card is somewhat confusing. The [Carrying Objects] ability... does it mean that the Scholar's Self can be connected to it?

As a scholar, I possess [General Knowledge] and must be connected to the soul energy well to exist. This is a limitation, but adding a limbless body that has no function in order to remove this limitation... It's too weird.

Moreover, the summoning conditions are not easy.

"Full connection" is a new concept...If you want to fully connect with a soul card, you must reach level seven!

After being promoted to level six, the basic ability can be improved by climbing two coefficients, and when it comes to level seven... At this time, the soul card master can directly use the handed-down soul card. The connection bonus of the card box for the handed-down soul card is not that strong, so generally speaking, the soul card master will choose to fully connect with his core soul card.

This is both a choice to become stronger and a last resort.

Generally speaking, to advance to level seven, even those with great talent are usually in their thirties or forties. At this time, soul card masters have often been connected to their main battle decks for decades, and their soul energy wells will also be affected by the decks in turn.

At this time, it will become very difficult to change the deck. Even if you change it, you can only choose from decks with similar attributes, race, etc.

This is actually a kind of elementary full connection... In other words, as long as you use a deck for a long time, full connection will come naturally.

The soul cards that can be fully connected are all soul cards that are highly compatible with oneself. They can even be said to be the embodiment of oneself in some aspect and are one's own soul soul card.

This connection method allows you to fully unleash the power of a soul card, even beyond its limit, but it also has limitations - that is, even if you do not activate a fully connected soul card, a portion of your mental pressure will be occupied.

This is why full connection is the iconic ability of level seven - because after the coefficient enhancement of level six, the soul card master's ability to withstand mental stress will be greatly improved. At this time, even if there is always a little mental stress, it will not lead to sudden death.

For soul card masters who are less than level seven, in order to prevent the soul cards from being fully connected naturally over time, they even need to change their card decks every once in a while.

And this limbless body requires a fully connected soul card as its material...which means that this is a soul card that can only be used at level seven...then isn't this strength a bit lacking?
...No, the soul card that Old Ren gave me is definitely not that simple.

So, Yu Cang continued to read on... and what appeared below was a soul card with almost the same description.

they are, respectively:
No face, no heels, no hips, no genitals, no organs, no ears, no eyes, no food

Including the limbless body before, there are a total of eight... human body parts.

They are a head with a nose, two feet, hips and thighs, two arms and hands, ears, eyes, and a mouth. Each soul card has a [General Knowledge·Residual] and an ability that is better than nothing.

Put together, they form a complete person...that is, the scholar I am.

Weird, so weird.

However, Yu Cang quickly realized what Ren Zheng was doing.

Although these eight soul cards do not have the "scholar" entry, they do have [General Knowledge·Incomplete]. Although this ability is incomplete, it only lacks the restriction of having to be connected to the soul energy well, so it is more flexible.

And having this ability means... it can also summon the corresponding rhythmic body to the present world! However, it is only a part.

This is already very meaningful.

You know, not everyone is like Yu Cang, with a completely innate rhythmic body, most people only have a little bit. And even after practicing to this point, Ren Zheng, who has made the fastest progress, still lacks half of his body to fully condense a rhythmic body.

And this incomplete rhythmic body... although it can be used to summon my scholar self, it is not very stable and cannot last long. It is always limited.

So, can these eight parts be regarded as the incomplete "scholar's self" that can be used by those who are not complete?
From this point of view, it is indeed a good creation.

But...if it were just this, it wouldn't be enough for Ren Zheng to send it to him.

That means...

A thoughtful look flashed across Yu Cang's eyes.

He closed the document and returned to the chat interface.
-
Old Man Ren, what is this?

There was silence on the other end for a moment before a message was sent.
-
Every time the Jieying Library is activated, eight people are needed. It's too cumbersome. I originally wanted to find a method that can be used by one person.
-
but failed?-
Hmm...these soul cards do not meet the material requirements.

……

The material needed for the Jieying Library is the Scholar Summoning Beast. After all, these parts do not have the Scholar entry and cannot be used for link summoning. Otherwise, one person can pull out the library, which is indeed a very powerful operation. But, is that all?
Apparently not.

The terminal soon sent another message:
-
Summoning the World Shadow Library is one thing, and on the other hand... I'm trying what you called the "path to becoming a god."

really!

As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Cang's face became completely serious.

It has been speculated before that the opportunity to become a god is hidden in the six types of "I".

Not many people knew about this conjecture, and Ren Zheng was one of them... He happened to be a national guardian, only one level away from becoming a myth, and had some idea of ​​this realm, so he simply followed Yu Cang's thoughts and continued his research these days.

So… that’s what the research showed?
Ren Zheng continued to send messages:
-
Scholar I is already a perfect soul card. As for strengthening this card... I really have no idea. I thought of splitting it up first, weakening it, and then thinking about how to strengthen it... So, I divided Scholar I into eight parts according to the eight trigrams... I was just trying it out, but I didn't expect to succeed in one try.
-
Then what? -
Then - my intuition tells me that I should be on the right track. As long as I take myself apart and then put myself back together, I may be able to find a clue to the path to godhood... However, my rhythmic body is incomplete and probably can't be put back together, so... I want you to try it first.
-
...I can't try it either.
-
So, hurry up and break through level seven, I can’t wait.
-
Uh... I think maybe if you work harder to perfect your Rhythmic Body, things might go faster.
-
Don't give me that crap - but putting that aside, I have a hunch that even if you can reintegrate the eight parts, you're still at least one step away.
-
Which step? -
Link Summoning still lacks a "skill".
-
……I see.
-
Hmm? Judging from your tone, do you already have an idea? -
I'm not sure. I'll try my best.
-
Okay, you're the only one who can do this... Then I won't bother you anymore, and you can go to bed early.

……

Putting down his personal terminal, Yu Cang fell into deep thought.

Before, one of his "tricks" for connection summoning was the ability to sense the Starry Sky Vision.

But later, as he used Link Summoning more and more, he found that it was a bit far-fetched.

Perceiving the Starry Sky Vision was an ability that belonged only to scholars... It had nothing to do with combat, and it did not increase combat effectiveness. It was indeed difficult, but the technique of connecting summons was definitely something else.

What could it be?

Yu Cang's eyes turned and he had a guess in his mind.

If that's the case...how can it be achieved?
There was a thoughtful look in Yu Cang's eyes, while Gu Jieshuang on the side curled her lips.

"boss."

She shrank into the quilt, grasping the edge of the quilt with both hands, with only half of her head exposed.

"Are you going to think about the Soul Card all night again tonight?"

"Huh?" Yu Cang was stunned.

Then he smiled.

When I heard about the possibility of becoming a god, I became a little crazy.

Yes, I can't think of anything here, or...

But, until then.

Yu Cang stood up, walked to the side... and opened the toilet door.

Behind the door, two pairs of eyes suddenly looked over.

It was the morning departure that sadly lost its bed, and the night arrival that ate the creature designated by the Creator.

Chao Ci was perched on the toilet lid, Ye Lai was crouching on the sink. Originally, the two dragons should have been staring at each other in silence, but when Yu Cang arrived, they all turned their eyes over.

"Ahem..." Yu Cang coughed lightly, "Good evening, both of you..."

Chao Ci: ...stare
Ye Lai: (suppressing laughter)

Yu Cang: "Alright, alright, don't be so resentful... Chao Ci, the bed I promised you is already made."

Chao Ci raised his brows slightly: "...Hmm?"

Yu Cang swept his hand across the card box, took out the card of the Land of Descent, and then handed the soul card to Chao Ci.

Suddenly, the pattern on the card began to flow like clouds and mist, as if opening up a passage to another space.

"You can set the chaotic mist in it as you like. You can adjust the shape and texture, and you can also set the background. You can realize any scene you want!"

"Is that so?" Chao Ci leaned closer and moved his nose.

Immediately, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.

"Ah... it's the sour smell of the Imperial Star."

Yu Cang's face froze.

Oops, forgot about this.

But before he could think of how to explain, Chao Ci changed his tone and said, "But it also has your flavor... I can accept it."

After saying that, he flew up and dived into the soul card.

Yu Cang blinked.

Uh... fortunately, I was not disliked at least.

"Master of this body." Ye Lai stood up, "Can you let me experience it too?"

"Of course." Yu Cang agreed without hesitation.

……

In the place where the chariot descends.

At night, it emerged from the vortex of chaotic clouds, flapped its wings, and slowly landed on the ground.

He looked up... The environment here was exactly the same as chaos, with chaotic clouds and mist everywhere.

The difference is that it is filled with a soft light of unknown origin, and in the center of the venue, there stand three stone statues of the Blue-eyed King Dragon.

Unlike in the chaos, where souls have no vision and light is meaningless, here, Ye Lai's body is not a false sustenance condensed by clouds and mist, and can see the light and touch the wind.

"Nice place." A smile appeared on Ye Lai's lips.

But when he turned his head and looked at Chao Ci...his expression suddenly became strange.

How did Chao Ci… use the Chaos Cloud to create Yu Cang? And then he laid on her chest! ?
Chao Ci: "...what's that look in your eyes?"

"No, it's just..." Ye Lai didn't know what to say.

Yu Cang is making love with someone else outside, but Chao Ci can only guard Yu Cang's "baby" just one card away?
Is this plot a bit...

"..." Chao Ci's mouth twitched, "You are overthinking it."

"No."

"...Asshole, you must be overthinking it!" Chao Ci was furious, "I am the Creator, don't look at me with the desires and thoughts of a mortal spirit!"

Ye Lai coughed lightly and looked away.

"understandable."
