“This limit only exists in theory, and can only be achieved under ideal conditions. But no matter what profession's spell, it will always be unable to reach its theoretical limit due to various objective reasons!”
“The closer it is to the theoretical limit, the greater the power of the spell!”
“And when manifested on a card, it will appear as a black crack-like energy circuit. Based on the length of the crack, one can determine how close it is to the limit!”
“As for the explosion you mentioned, that won't happen. Because the quality of the original card is very high, as long as it can be sealed inside, there will be no cracking or exploding. If there was, you could make someone compensate you tens of billions!”
“So, brother! Quickly take a close-up for me! It was too blurry just now, I couldn't see the length of the crack. Also, what city are you in? I want to visit!”
His phone vibrated non-stop, and messages from the Milk Tea netizen came one after another. Lu Chenxing read them carefully, finally letting out a sigh of relief. So that's how it was, a false alarm!
Looking at the Milk Tea netizen's request, Lu Chenxing thought for a moment and decided to fulfill it. So he entered the energy testing room, carefully picked up the card, and felt the location of the crack. It was indeed smooth as a mirror, with no actual crack.
So he took a close-up photo and sent it to Milk Tea. Upon seeing the photo, Milk Tea sent three exclamation marks again:
“!!!”
“Holy cow! So long! And it's a First Order card. According to the length of this crack, its power is probably equivalent to an ordinary Second Order Middle Stage spell!!!”
“Brother, quickly tell me which city you're in! I'll visit you!”
Looking at the excited Milk Tea and the screen full of exclamation marks, Lu Chenxing thought for a moment, then replied, “No need to meet. Thank you for clarifying my confusion, much appreciated!”
With that, he directly exited the forum, leaving only Brother Milk Tea pounding his chest in frustration.
However, Lu Chenxing, who had exited the forum, did not know that this picture had begun to spread wildly within the forum, quickly attracting the attention of some people!
In Loshen City, where Super Martial University is located, within the Card Maker Association, an old man in a white robe with somewhat graying hair and looking a bit old was browsing the forum. He accidentally saw this message, and his eyes immediately narrowed!
He then carefully read the post.
【QQ Meow Meow Delicious to the Point of Tapping Toes Taro Boba Milk Tea】: “Brothers, look what I found! A wild master! He said he just started! Oh my god! No matter whether he can make cards now, he can actually release a First Order Limit spell!”
“Holy cow! I've never seen anyone actually achieve this kind of limit spell at the First Order! It's a shame the big brother won't give his address, otherwise, I'd definitely go visit him!”
He then attached screenshots of his chat with Lu Chenxing and the close-up photo.
Some people below scoffed, “What's so special about that? Second Order Middle Stage, any SSS-level talent can easily do that at First Order, right? What's there to be surprised about, making a fuss!”
“Yeah, yeah, this old brother is right. Anyone with a bit of talent can do it, right?”
Of course, there were also Card Makers who truly understood the field and spoke up: “If you don't understand, don't pretend to, okay? The original card's judgment of the spell is comprehensively considered!”
“Those talented individuals you mentioned who challenge higher orders, that's because the energy density of the spells they release has already reached Second Order Early Stage or even higher, which is why they have Second Order power! That's because they themselves are powerful, it has nothing to do with the spell!”
“Therefore, the spells they release cannot be sealed using a First Order original card! Those are Second Order spells, and can only be sealed with a Second Order original card!”
“And First Order Limit means that he used at most the energy density of First Order Perfection, yet dealt the damage of Second Order Middle Stage. There is a qualitative difference between the two! One relies on energy, the other relies on skill, understand?”
“And aren't you considering the price difference of the original cards, the magic consumption difference, and the user's rank difference?”
The white-robed old man leaned back on the sofa, nodding slightly, affirming the enthusiastic netizen who came out to explain. This netizen, named “Is There a Top Hat,” was very right; there was a huge difference between the two!
For example, a First Order cultivator, when using a First Order card, only needs to release one unit of magic to activate the energy circuit within it, thereby releasing the spell sealed inside.
But if it were a Second Order card, due to the difference between First Order energy density and Second Order energy density, it would require releasing ten units of magic to activate the energy circuit. The difference here is self-evident!
At this moment, the white-robed old man also became curious. Who exactly was this netizen named “Visitor 114514”? How did he create such a card that truly approached the theoretical limit? What was the technique involved? He really wanted to know!
But he was not in a hurry. If this person appeared, he would definitely be the first to know, because all cards sold on the market needed to be registered. One reason was that they couldn't be sold without registration, and the second was to protect intellectual property!
No one wanted their painstakingly crafted cards to be maliciously cracked and plagiarized after being sold, which is why the official Card Maker Association was established.
Meanwhile, Lu Chenxing was currently troubled by the original card for Bombardment Art, with over a dozen discarded First Order blank cards already piled beside him.
“Oh, why is Card Making so difficult!” Lu Chenxing scratched his head, feeling a bit annoyed.
To make cards for sale, one must first copy the energy circuit on the original card. Which line to draw first, which to draw next, horizontal, folded, curved, straight—not a single stroke can be wrong. Where it should be thin, it must be thin; where it should be thick, it must be thick. Any difference in any place will affect the spell's effect or directly lead to a failed copy.
Although one could use mental power to communicate with the original card to know the sequence and so on, completing the copy was still very, very difficult!
Lu Chenxing, who had never made a card before, was now stumped at this step. Among the discarded cards, some had two strokes drawn, some had three, but none had more than five.
And the energy circuit on the original card was densely packed with hundreds of lines, various colored lines interwoven, plus that black crack—just looking at it made one's scalp tingle!
“Sigh, I should have chosen some simpler spells. Why is Card Making so difficult! If only I could copy and paste... Hmm? Copy and paste?”
Lu Chenxing, who had been quite dejected, seemed to have thought of something. He immediately sat up straight, then slapped his head and said, “That's right! I'm so stupid! How can magic be so inconvenient!”
Then he calmed himself, entered a state of meditation, activated the Weaving effect, and began a new spell Weaving!
