Chapter 22: Challenge Mu Qianshan!

"Should we look for a teammate?"

After the afternoon Martial Arts Class was over, Mu Qianshan asked Jiang Yuan.

"I doubt anyone would want to be my teammate."

"How come!"

Mu Qianshan quickly refuted, but only felt reassured after seeing that Jiang Yuan didn't appear dejected.

"You have the Linglong Tower in your possession, so your safety is basically not an issue."

"Besides, you now have combat power. Although I don't know where your strength comes from, you definitely won't drag everyone down. Why would they be unwilling?"

Mu Qianshan truly didn't know where Jiang Yuan's combat power came from.

Could it be from a set of Skill Cards?

Honestly, he had also contemplated using Skill Cards to help Jiang Yuan build his combat power.

But he was turned down by Jiang Yuan.

He said he had his own ways.

Now it seems, Jiang Yuan indeed had his ways.

However, it probably wasn't a combat power formed by Skill Cards.

After all, Skill Cards are very expensive, and the cost to assemble combat power is very high.

But it was only after Jiang Yuan had passed the nineteenth floor of the Dream Tower and sold cards that he became somewhat wealthy.

The timing doesn't match up.

Unless...

Unless the cards crafted by Jiang Yuan himself can replace a whole set of Skill Cards.

Only then could they form a formidable combat power.

But what kind of Skill Card can be worth a whole set?

Mu Qianshan didn't know, but he was very curious about Jiang Yuan's cards.

"This can wait, it's about you now."

Jiang Yuan did not rush to answer Mu Qianshan, but instead looked at him seriously and asked.

"So, how do you feel about your current cards?"

"What about them?"

Mu Qianshan was taken aback for a moment, with a hunch in his heart, but still asked.

"Aren't all your cards bought? Do you want to switch to another one?"

"So you mean, you want to make a card for me?"

Mu Qianshan's eyes twinkled with amusement, sizing up Jiang Yuan before asking with a beaming smile.

"Right, that's the idea."

Jiang Yuan nodded, unembarrassed: "But it depends on your specific situation to craft the appropriate card for you."

As Jiang Yuan spoke, he couldn't help but laugh, pointing at his head: "Can't help it, I'm just bursting with talents."

Mu Qianshan laughed: "Okay, I'm currently lacking a card that can attack from a distance, preferably the one-hit kill type."

Mu Qianshan said, his eyes flickering for a moment.

Only a one-hit kill type of Skill Card could replace an entire set, if there were any.

Mu Qianshan asked this to find out if Jiang Yuan's combat power was what he speculated.

[Linglong Tower] being invincible at its level, a one-hit kill unknown card is enough to form combat power.

"One hit kill?"

Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment, then frowned.

It was troublesome, but the trouble was in choosing which one.

The Blood Transformation Divine Blade or the Soul Fall, or perhaps the Heart Piercer?

All of these could achieve a one-hit kill and were for ranged attacks.

But they likely came with certain requirements like the [Linglong Tower].

If he didn't want any conditions, there were more complicated ones like the Seven Arrows Book or the Soul Fall that curses the opponent to death.

"Is it a bit difficult?"

Seeing Jiang Yuan frowning and pondering, Mu Qianshan teased: "Didn't you just say you were about to burst with inspiration? What happened now?"

"Who said I can't!"

Jiang Yuan glared: "There are too many choices, I just don't know which to choose!"

"Ah?"

Mu Qianshan was stunned, then laughed: "No need for choices, any one of them will do."

"Alright, I'll get to it in the next couple of days!"

Jiang Yuan's serious demeanor made Mu Qianshan also kind of believe him.

However, he still had doubts about whether Jiang Yuan would succeed.

After all, although anyone can do card making, it is not a simple task.

The most important thing is that your crafted card needs to pass the testing of the world's will.

This is crucial, without it, card making would be impossible.

Most people choose not to craft their cards for this very reason.

After all, to pass the world's will test, your crafted card needs a complete plan in your mind, including images, functions, usage, and so on.

Without this, card making simply won't succeed.

Therefore, Mu Qianshan had some disbelief toward Jiang Yuan's claim of "nearly exploding with inspiration."

He had Card Makers in his family, so he naturally knew how hard the preparatory process for crafting a new card could be.

Wasn't Jiang Yuan considering his two cards for several months before crafting them?

"Alright, I'll wait for your good news then."

"Don't worry!"

Jiang Yuan nodded firmly and then looked at Mu Qianshan seriously again.

"Are you sure you want to team up with me?"

"Of course!"

Mu Qianshan didn't hesitate in his answer.

"Even if no one thinks highly of me, just the two of us?" Jiang Yuan asked again.

"Then it'll just be the two of us."

Mu Qianshan smiled casually: "It's their loss for not seeing your worth. We can still put up an amazing fight, just the two of us."

Jiang Yuan's gaze flickered, and after watching Mu Qianshan for a while, he suddenly burst into laughter.

"Rest assured, I can definitely make it happen!"

Jiang Yuan laughed brightly, his happiness evident.

"I believe in you."

Mu Qianshan nodded, but just after he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan's expression changed.

"Does our challenge still stand?"

"Of course."

Mu Qianshan nodded: "How about during tomorrow's Martial Arts Class?"

"Not in Martial Arts Class."

Mu Qianshan was curious upon hearing Jiang Yuan's refusal.

Wasn't Jiang Yuan wanting to show his strength in Martial Arts Class to form a team later?

"A private fight, the kind no one else sees."

"This..."

Mu Qianshan looked at Jiang Yuan puzzled, but seeing Jiang Yuan's excited face, he stopped pondering and nodded in agreement.

"How about now?"

"Sure!"

Although unsure about Jiang Yuan's intentions, witnessing Jiang Yuan's "combat power" would still be interesting.

"Just to be clear, you can't treat me like you did Ji Bin."

"Don't worry, I'll show you my true strength!"

Jiang Yuan was brimming with confidence, while Mu Qianshan chuckled: "So you do want to prove yourself to me."

"Yes."

Having agreed on the battle, the two headed towards the Martial Arts Center.

"But it's not just about proving myself."

"What else then?"

"I want to see how your Equipment Card fares and try to replace it with a better one for you."

Hearing this, Mu Qianshan paused in his step, then laughed heartily: "Alright, let's see if you can craft a Weapon Card that's better than the one I have in my hands!"
