After thinking for a moment, Uchiha Gen focused his thoughts. The Shuriken hovering in front of him began to twist and rapidly expand and contract, transforming into a simple bicycle.
"It really works?"
Uchiha Gen's eyes lit up as he looked at the bicycle before him.
So Mystic Blade Dance Illuminating the Star Sea was basically a budget version of Green Lantern? The Golden Light Spell could also shape light into different forms, but in terms of practicality, this ability from the Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf world seemed to have the edge.
After all, this power could change shape at will, while the Golden Light Spell required his life force and cultivation as its foundation.
Having confirmed the test was a success, Uchiha Gen shifted his thoughts. The bicycle made of Strange Power changed again, eventually transforming into a... Desert Eagle pistol.
"Too bad it's only a replica. Otherwise, I could've had some fun with it."
Uchiha Gen held the Desert Eagle, his face full of regret. To use Mystic Blade Dance Illuminating the Star Sea to create something, he needed to have a general understanding of it.
And Uchiha Gen definitely didn't know the inner workings of a pistol like the Desert Eagle.
Besides, he'd made the Desert Eagle simply because he wanted to play around with a pistol. Using one to kill enemies? He'd pass.
In the Shinobi World, even a thrown Shuriken was far more powerful than a bullet.
After testing his newly acquired skill, Uchiha Gen turned his attention to the six remaining B-rank cards.
Fine: Substitution Technique
Source: Game—Naruto
Card Type: Skill
Description: When struck and afflicted with a negative status such as being staggered, launched into the air, or knocked down, instantly escape and gain 0.5 seconds of invincibility, making you immune to enemy attacks. Using this skill consumes the Ultimate points accumulated when your attacks hit a target.
"It can do that too?"
Uchiha Gen raised an eyebrow as he looked at the card in his hand.
Although the cards drawn from Mist Space all came from the myriad worlds, this was the first time he'd drawn something related to Naruto—and it was even from that cursed game.
"The Substitution Technique from Naruto Mobile in the Shinobi World... isn't that just a Space-Time Ninjutsu? The Ultimate point requirement is completely unnecessary. No wonder it's only a B-rank card."
Unlike this game-based Substitution Technique, the one used in the Shinobi World was just a basic ninjutsu—a simple trick that many Genin had to learn.
He casually crushed the card. As its glowing fragments streamed into his body, Uchiha Gen raised an eyebrow. Because of that so-called Ultimate point restriction, he couldn't use the Substitution Technique right away.
He clicked his tongue in disappointment, then raised a hand and picked up all five remaining B-rank cards.
Fine: Spider-Sense
Source: Film—Spider-Man
Card Type: Ability
Description: Senses danger in all directions, unaffected by vision, hearing, or obstacles; accurately determines the direction and distance of threats and guides you to dodge. Can still be triggered while asleep or unconscious.
Fine: Inch by Inch
Source: Game—Roco Kingdom: World
Card Type: Ability
Description: The power of the Ability possessed by the Pokémon "Curly Duck." While in rainy weather or another aquatic environment, both Attack and Special Attack increase by 100%.
Fine: Ralts
Source: Anime—Pokémon
Card Type: Summon
Description: A magical Pokémon that wields Psychic powers. After its final evolution, the power it commands can even distort space when its Trainer is in danger.
Fine: Gastly
Source: Game—Pokémon X and Y
Card Type: Summon
Description: A gaseous Pokémon. After evolving, it seems able to wield the power to connect to another world. However, its mischievous nature might give you a bit of a headache.
Fine: Hengdao—Biyi
Source: Game—Naraka: Bladepoint
Card Type: Weapon
Description: The white falcon spreads golden wings beneath the sun; auspicious light fills the sky, chasing purple clouds. Its sheath conceals the rosy glow, its edge carves a divine form; swing it, and it beats its wings to stir the wind.
Uchiha Gen learned the information on all five cards at once. As he looked them over, delight filled his eyes.
Compared to the three cards from earlier, these were much better suited to him right now. Spider-Sense needed no explanation; it was a direct boost to his personal abilities. With it, he'd be able to respond to enemy attacks more keenly in battle.
As for the second card's effect, although it required specific conditions, it... fit perfectly with the Lightning Release technique he'd just mastered: Kirin!
A 100% damage boost in rainy weather. Kirin was already devastating. If its power doubled...
As for the remaining Pokémon and the weapon, the Pokémon's strength went without saying. They'd need time to grow, but given how quickly Pokémon matured, they'd soon become a great help to him.
And finally, the hengdao...
Uchiha Gen raised a hand and crushed the Biyi card. Amid the flash of light, a long hengdao with a lustrous gold finish and hints of dreamy purple and white appeared in his hand.
The blade faded from gold to silver-white, its edge as thin as a cicada's wing and shimmering with a faint, dreamlike purple-gold light.
"It's too flashy for assassination missions, but this blade seems quite a bit better than Mingzun."
Uchiha Gen held Biyi and gave it a gentle swing. A clear, ringing hum sounded as the blade sliced through the air, leaving a purple-gold trail behind it. Mingzun, a Kusanagi Sword, could cut through the air too, but it couldn't do so nearly as smoothly as Biyi.
"Flashy is fine. A blade this gorgeous is perfect for an Uchiha like me."
He gave his arm a quick flick, spinning Biyi in a flourish before sheathing it. Uchiha Gen nodded in satisfaction.
"Now, for my four B-rank draws. The worst I can get is a B-rank card, so hopefully they won't give me any junk."
He casually tucked Biyi into his belt, then looked up at the sky. His eyes were full of longing as he watched the flashing red light. What kind of treasure could a card that surpassed even S-rank legends be?
"Time to draw!"
Uchiha Gen raised his right hand.
Snap!
He snapped his fingers.
The familiar shower of light appeared once more, and four cards materialized in front of Uchiha Gen.
Two blue, two purple!
Two A-rank cards!
