Su Li entered the room. A full hundred cards floated in the air. When he looked at one of them, it actually drifted over on its own.

He looked overhead and saw several cards embedded in the ceiling, their power cascading down to create the scene and effects before him.

He casually caught a card.

[Osiris's Youth]

Tier: Bronze Tier One.

Type: Character.

Skills:

① Battle Qi Slash: Gather battle qi and unleash a full-force strike.

② Gale Step: Battle qi surged forth, greatly increasing the user's movement speed.

Overview: A youth of the Osiris Empire who dreamed of becoming a battle qi master.

On the card's illustration, the youth looked bright and optimistic, full of hope.

A normal card enhancer should have communicated with the card at this point, meditated, traveled through dream fragments, analyzed them, selected another card, and built a bridge with spiritual power. At the moment of impending fusion, they would obtain information on the resonance range between the two cards.

If there was no resonance, it meant the cards could not fuse. They had to be separated immediately to prevent the fusion from destroying them. If resonance occurred, the cards could be fused and enhanced smoothly. The higher the resonance range, the greater the enhancement.

But Su Li was different. He directly obtained the enhancement information.

This card could be enhanced. The options were as follows:

① A magical beast had appeared west of the forest. Kill it and bathe in its blood to make the warrior stronger.

② Fuse with [Fine Iron Longsword] to obtain new power.

③ Fuse with [Gale Wolf] to obtain new power.

④ Fuse with [Traveling Girl] to obtain new power.

⑤ If you possessed enough cards, perhaps a miracle would be born.

The first option required Su Li to enter the Card World, so he discarded it immediately. Of the remaining three options, he casually chose the first, [Fine Iron Longsword]. It looked like it offered the smallest boost, so it would be better to keep a low profile.

He reached out and took [Fine Iron Longsword], then directly fused the two cards. Resonance range? He neither knew nor needed it.

The cards in his hand glowed, and the world began to evolve. This time, Su Li was not projected onto the wall.

The youth from the small town was bright and optimistic, diligently cultivating battle qi. One day, while hunting in the forest, he discovered a longsword embedded in an ancient tree. It was incomparably sharp. Overjoyed, the youth's combat strength greatly increased with the Fine Iron Longsword. He hunted beasts in exchange for cultivation resources.

Time flew by, and the youth grew increasingly powerful. At last, he encountered the magical beast west of the forest, fought desperately to kill it, and bathed in its blood, achieving a breakthrough.

It could work like that?

Because he had obtained [Fine Iron Longsword], the youth's strength had risen tremendously. He had completed the first option himself and broken through.

The card in his hand shone. In the end, it jumped three tiers in succession, leaping straight into a Bronze Tier Four card. Su Li fell silent.

He still had far too little experience enhancing cards. Mystery Energy had given Su Li another surprise.

New enhancement options appeared. Unfortunately, it was not his own card. Holding the completed enhanced card, Su Li inserted it into the card slot before the second room.

The assessment difficulty did not increase, so it posed no challenge at all to Su Li. He deliberately controlled his timing before finally completing the card enhancement in the third room.

After fusing and enhancing three Bronze Tier One cards, Mystery Energy fed back to him, but Su Li only gained a single point of silver radiance.

After he inserted the third enhanced card into the card slot, the final door opened. A staff member appeared and said with a smile:

"Honored Card Master, you have passed the card enhancer certification. From today onward, you are an officially certified card enhancer of the Card Master Alliance.

"At the same time, you may accept enhancement tasks posted by Card Masters through the Card Master Alliance system and receive compensation."

Su Li nodded and let out a breath. The process had been easier than he had imagined.

He had handed in his Card Master certificate earlier. Now, the staff member brought it back, and it bore the unique emblem of a card enhancer.

"Card Master, your assessment results will be sent to you by text message within one hour," the staff member said as he returned Su Li's card case.

"Alright." Su Li took a deep breath, unable to suppress his excitement.

In high spirits, he left the Card Master Alliance Building and headed for Liang City No. 3 High School. Just then, he received a text message:

"Student Su Li, congratulations on passing the card enhancer certification. You have earned an opportunity to draw one random card from the Card Master's Tower."

That was fast. He had barely stepped out of the Card Master Alliance Building before receiving Third High School's reward notification.

Su Li now had two chances to draw cards. Drawing cards immediately and rapidly increasing his strength was undoubtedly the wisest choice at this moment.

This would ensure he could keep up with Third High School's pace. The Vampire Contamination Zone, rankings, card enhancer rewards, and more—resources would only flow toward the strong!

After seeing Jiang Mingyue's strength, Su Li felt a growing sense of urgency.

His own strength was still far from enough. On one hand, he had too few cards, and his combat methods were too straightforward, leaving no room for flexibility.

On the other hand, the Spirit Jade's progress was still far behind. Jiang Mingyue was probably already Bronze Tier Six by now, wasn't she?

Besides teaching at Third High School, Card Master Yan Mo was also an official card enhancer for the Card Master Alliance. As Su Li began his certification, he arrived at the studio to assess Jiang Mingyue's certification results.

"Excellent, excellent, excellent. All three cards were optimal choices. As expected of the Jiang Group's genius young lady." Card Master Yan Mo smiled.

Not only did Jiang Mingyue far surpass her peers in spiritual power cultivation, she was also an extraordinarily talented card enhancer. For Third High School, this was undoubtedly like finding treasure.

The emergence of a top-tier Card Master genius had an enormous impact on resource allocations for the following year. With Jiang Mingyue, Third High School could finally contend with First High School and Second High School, couldn't it?

After completing the assessment, Card Master Yan Mo did not leave immediately, because there was another Third High School Card Master undergoing card enhancer certification today.

After an unknown amount of time, a staff member arrived carrying three cards and respectfully said:

"Card Master Yan Mo, please conduct the assessment."

Card Master Yan Mo opened his eyes and picked up the first card.

"Bronze Tier Four?" The middle-aged Card Master could not help widening his eyes. Two Bronze Tier One cards had fused, yet a Bronze Tier Four card had appeared so rarely?

Card Master Yan Mo immediately pulled up the data.

"First room, ninety-eight cards remaining. The consumed cards were [Osiris's Youth] and [Fine Iron Longsword]. This was clearly an inferior choice?!"

Card Master Yan Mo was astonished. The hundred cards in the room had all been carefully screened by card enhancers of at least Silver rank. There should not have been an error in enhancing such low-tier cards.

Unfortunately, the cards had already fused, so he could not perform a resonance test.

After examining the remaining two cards, Yan Mo could no longer keep his composure. Could this actually be a card enhancer genius on par with Jiang Mingyue?

All three cards had produced excellent results. The enhancement of the first card had even exceeded the standard.

On the way, Su Li received the assessment results:

"Your assessment results are Excellent, Excellent, Excellent. The Card Master Alliance respects the choices of Card Masters. Reply TF to choose disclosure, or reply TD to choose concealment."

Su Li considered it, then typed:

"TD."

He had no intention of joining any faction yet, so there was no point in making it public. The academy itself belonged to the Alliance and should receive the news directly, so it would not affect his ability to collect resources.
