Magic Card Era: Infinite Deck Enhancement — Chapter 108

Chapter 108: Continuous Card Creation · Blue Card!

[Blue Card: An extremely miraculous evolution card originating from the Digital World. The Blue Card contains a volume of data that vastly surpasses the Super Evolution Plug-In S. It also harbors deep conceptual powers, including the Light of Evolution and the Spirit of Digimon.]

[By releasing the power of the Blue Card through the act of Card Slashing, a Digimon that has already reached the Champion stage can further unlock its latent potential, thereby ascending to a higher state of existence—a vastly stronger Ultimate form.]

Having successfully synthesized the Super Evolution Plug-In S, Luke immediately pivoted to his next ambitious project: the Blue Card. This was the key to shattering the limits of a Champion Digimon, pushing them straight into the Ultimate stage.

The process was grueling. Compared to the Plug-In, weaving the complex data matrix of the Blue Card demanded far more time and precision. It wasn’t just a simple upgrade; it was a deep evolutionary catalyst, demanding the seamless integration of conceptual forces to ensure a stable transformation.

Outside the examination realm, the atmosphere in the observation hall grew tense.

“Did he fail again? Or has he given up on creating Original Magic Cards?” Cang Fenghua stared at the massive holographic feed, his brows knitted in confusion.

Luke’s current actions lacked the heaven-shaking phenomena that accompanied his earlier creations. Just like the Digivice, neither the Super Evolution Plug-In S nor the Blue Card fell under the category of Spirit Magic Cards. They were Special Magic Cards. Even as Original creations, they wouldn’t trigger the descent of creation pillars or cosmic anomalies.

More, the Digivice had established the foundational worldview of the Digital World. The initial shockwave of world-creation had already passed. Subsequent additions to that established lore wouldn’t trigger the same apocalyptic visual fanfare. To the untrained eye, Luke’s current process looked entirely mundane, indistinguishable from the standard card creation of any other examinee.

“He must be resorting to conventional, non-Original Magic Cards,” Da Baiman reasoned, crossing her arms. “The college entrance examination is nearly over. He simply doesn’t have the time left to conceptualize another Original. Managing to create even one is already an outstanding achievement.”

Her logic was sound, and a murmur of agreement rippled through the surrounding instructors, including Cang Fenghua. It was the most rational explanation.

Far away in the opulent halls of the Cang Capital, Meng Ningdie watched the same broadcast with a different perspective.

“Teacher,” she murmured, her eyes reflecting the flickering light of the screen, “is Luke still crafting those Special Magic Cards you mentioned earlier?”

She wasn’t entirely confident in her guess. The very concept of Special Magic Cards was a recent revelation to her, a secret imparted by the Night Queen herself. She knew the difficulty of constructing them was notoriously high, bordering on the impossible for a student.

The Night Queen shot her a sidelong glance, an elegant roll of her eyes breaking her usual icy composure. “I am not omniscient, little girl. How would I know the exact nature of his current project?”

Meng Ningdie offered a sheepish, apologetic chuckle, shrinking back slightly under her teacher’s gaze.

“There is no need to be so anxious,” the Night Queen continued, her voice a smooth, measured drawl as she turned her attention back to the screen. “The first stage of the examination is drawing to a close. In the second stage, I have no doubt this boy will display the true capabilities of his newly forged deck. The truth will reveal itself then.”

Despite the calm, almost detached cadence of her words, both Cang Ao and Meng Ningdie could detect the subtle undercurrent of anticipation. The Night Queen was genuinely intrigued. Luke’s unorthodox, rule-breaking performance had thoroughly captured her attention. Both students shared a sudden, electrifying premonition: after this year’s exams, the Night Queen might just make another world-shaking move.

[Magic Card background approved. Please complete the card art and add materials!]

Back in the examination realm, Luke exhaled a long breath, finally finalizing the complex background lore for the Blue Card.

Then came the spectacle.

With a flick of his wrist, a veritable torrent of high-grade materials materialized. The glowing aura of blue and purple quality items illuminated his face—an Insect Heart pulsing with latent energy, a shimmering Shadow Veil, and a radiant Holy Spirit Ring. He fed them into the Magic Card constructor in a relentless, cascading stream.

In the observation room, a collective gasp echoed. Instructors felt their eyelids twitch uncontrollably.

They had already been alarmed by the sheer volume of materials he used for the Super Evolution Plug-In S, but those had merely been white and green quality. This was entirely different.

Blue quality materials were the standard for forging Seven-Star Magic Cards. Purple quality materials were rare treasures, capable of birthing Eight-Star Magic Cards. Yet here was a high school student, casually dumping a mountain of them into a single construct. Even the most renowned Seven-Star and Eight-Star Magic Cards in existence didn’t require a fraction of the raw resources Luke was currently burning through.

Every novice Magic Card Master was taught a fundamental rule: more materials did not equal a better card. Overloading a constructor with conflicting elements exponentially increased the risk of catastrophic failure. It was a rookie mistake.

Yet, looking at Luke’s placid, utterly confident expression on the screen, a chilling realization washed over the audience. He wasn’t making a mistake. He was doing this on purpose.

“I am genuinely burning with curiosity now. What exactly is this kid planning?” Shangguan Pu muttered, voicing the collective bewilderment of the room. “Putting everything else aside, the sheer financial and magical density of the materials he just sacrificed… even experts in the Monarch Realm and King Realm would probably drop to their knees in shock.”

[Construction successful. Magic Power Feedback obtained! Level increased to Four-Star Commander!]

A warm, surging current of energy flooded Luke’s meridians. Feeling the total volume of Magic Power within his body expand and solidify, a satisfied smile touched his lips. The consecutive, flawless creations of the Super Evolution Plug-In S and the Blue Card had triggered a massive feedback loop, pushing his cultivation level even higher.

[Blue Card]

Type: Evolution Card

Effect: Through the act of Card Slashing via a Digivice, the immense volume of data contained within this card is injected directly into a Digimon’s core. Dictated by the Tamer’s will and environmental adaptability, it forces a Champion-stage Digimon to super-evolve into an Ultimate-stage Digimon for a specified duration.

Much like the Plug-In, the Blue Card’s description was concise, but its implications were staggering. The leap from Champion to Ultimate wasn’t just a step up; it was a fundamental evolution in power. Luke had a burning premonition that this transformation would shatter the boundaries, pushing his summon straight into the High-Level Magic Card tier.

He could already picture the moment Sistermon Blanc used this evolution card, her delicate form surging with overwhelming, extraordinary power.

After forging the Digivice, Sistermon Blanc, the Super Evolution Plug-In S, and finally the Blue Card, Luke allowed his hands to drop. He tilted his head back, gazing at the massive, ethereal countdown clock projected in the sky above the examination realm. Time had silently slipped away.

“It’s a pity I ran out of time. I only managed to finish the Super Evolution Plug-In S and the Blue Card,” Luke murmured, withdrawing his gaze as the two freshly minted Magic Cards materialized, hovering gently above his palm. “Still, even if I had another hour, I lack the specific high-grade materials needed to construct any other variations of evolution cards.”
