007: Speculation

"Owner: Tang Jian.

Current Card Energy: [5/32]+

Current Spirit: [2/4]+

Physique: [6.2]+

Special Abilities: 1. ??? (???)

2. Dreamscape. (???)

Current Energy: [0]+"

Seeing the Attribute Panel appear before him, Tang Jian was now able to accept it calmly. In fact, he had subtly tested it in front of others more than once during the day.

The final conclusion was that when the Attribute Panel appeared in his eyes, no one else could see it but him.

And now, because he had cultivated the Three-Point-One-Line Technique, Tang Jian's Card Energy had increased by another point, now reaching 32.

The increase in Card Energy also slightly changed his physique. He felt more energetic, so his physique also increased by 0.1, reaching 6.2.

"My Card Energy consumption is very high right now. If I use the energy from this Energy Card at this moment, my Card Energy will instantly recover to 32 points, and it's very likely to increase by another point. Should I try it?"

Tang Jian hesitated slightly.

The One-Star Blank Energy Card he had created definitely contained the optimal 100 points of energy.

Theoretically, after the 100 points of energy were absorbed by the red card in his brain yesterday, about 16 points of energy should have replenished the Card Energy he had consumed at the time, and the remaining 84 points of energy increased his Card Energy by 1 point, bringing his total Card Energy at that time to 31 points.

So, logically, if the energy within the Energy Card didn't dissipate during absorption, it would mean that every 84 points of energy could increase his Card Energy by one point.

And now, he only had 5 points of Card Energy left, needing another 27 points to fully recover.

"If I infuse the 100 points of energy from this Energy Card into my body right now, 27 points will be used to recover the consumed Card Energy, leaving 73 points. Since 73 points isn't enough to reach 84 points, will it be impossible to increase my Card Energy limit?"

Tang Jian speculated inwardly.

This wasn't an absolute certainty and would require multiple tests.

Tang Jian was decisive. He immediately focused his thoughts on the last line of the Attribute Panel: "Current Energy: [0]+".

He concentrated his consciousness and pressed the "+" sign.

Immediately, he saw the "+" sign indent slightly.

Then, the Energy Card touched by his finger reacted instantly. The energy within it fluctuated violently and was cleared in a flash.

At the same time.

Tang Jian felt a surge of energy shoot from his finger into his body, then instantly rush towards his brain, disappearing in an instant.

The next moment, Tang Jian saw the attribute data before him change.

"Current Energy: [100]+"

"Awesome," a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Tang Jian's eye.

Next, it was time for the next step of his plan.

He needed to consume the current energy to see if he could recreate yesterday's scene.

Tang Jian had already made up his mind.

Even if the current energy couldn't increase his Card Energy by another point, it would at least restore the Card Energy he had just consumed.

In that case, once his Card Energy recovered, he could continue to create One-Star Blank Energy Cards.

However, there was one point that couldn't be ignored.

His current spiritual strength was very weak.

Creating a One-Star Energy Card not only consumed Card Energy but also his spiritual strength.

It was like performing a task for a long time, which would always lead to mental fatigue.

With only 2 points of spiritual strength remaining.

He could create at most one more One-Star Energy Card.

So, even if the next Energy Card could still be used to restore his Card Energy, he wouldn't be able to continue creating them once his spiritual strength was fatigued.

However, Tang Jian had also noticed that there was a "+" sign after the spiritual strength attribute.

Perhaps, by consuming energy, he could also strengthen his spiritual strength.

This had not yet been attempted, so it was hard to say.

Based on common knowledge, spiritual strength was a power that could only be cultivated after becoming a Card Master.

Moreover, this power was extremely difficult to cultivate without specialized methods and medicinal assistance, even more so than Card Energy.

Therefore, even consuming 100 points of energy might not necessarily enhance his spiritual strength.

With limited conditions.

Tang Jian decided to first try to continue enhancing his Card Energy.

He focused his consciousness on the "+" sign after the Card Energy attribute.

Whoosh—

Tang Jian felt his heart pound violently, his blood flow accelerate, and a surge of energy shoot from his brain, quickly filling his body and merging with the Card Energy already within him, seemingly even enhancing it.

But it was fleeting.

No more energy transmitted from his brain.

Still, Tang Jian felt his body brimming with vitality, a surge of energy circulating within him. His Card Energy had returned to peak condition, and his limbs and joints even felt a slight soreness, like the ache after an intense workout following a long period of inactivity.

A hint of disappointment flickered in Tang Jian's eyes.

Because on the Attribute Panel before him, the Card Energy attribute, aside from being fully restored, hadn't actually increased.

Card Energy: [32/32]+

"I subtly sensed a slight increase, didn't I? This shouldn't be an illusion, otherwise my body wouldn't feel this soreness. This must mean my Card Energy grew, but my body hasn't quite adapted yet."

Card Energy originates from the human body. The stronger a person's physical constitution, the more Card Energy they can condense within themselves.

Card Energy can be seen as the fusion of essence, vital energy, and blood—a mysterious form of human energy.

It's generally impossible for someone with a very weak physique to possess extremely strong Card Energy; it simply wouldn't make sense.

However, with the cheat-like ability Tang Jian now possessed, such an unreasonable state might actually be achievable.

But because it was unreasonable, if the Card Energy within his body exceeded the limit his body could withstand, the result would be self-destruction.

"Even though my current Card Energy cap hasn't increased, I can still subtly detect that extremely faint enhancement. This confirms that after 100 points of energy replenished my own Card Energy, the remaining 73 points weren't enough to increase my Card Energy by another point."

"Either it requires 84 points of energy to increase, or it requires 100 points of energy to increase."

Normally, it should take 100 points of energy to increase the Card Energy cap by one point.

The reason why yesterday, after replenishing his expended Card Energy, it only took 84 points of energy to increase his Card Energy cap by 1 point was very likely due to his own innate potential causing a very slight growth in Card Energy, which then compensated for the missing 16 points of energy.

However, such matters couldn't be confirmed by mere speculation.

He would try cultivating for a while later tonight. If his Card Energy increased by 1 point quickly, it would prove his speculation wasn't wrong: his Card Energy had indeed strengthened, but it still needed a bit more to fully level up.

Tang Jian pulled out another White Card, his expression lost in thought.

Xie Dong's appearance had put Tang Jian on alert. Therefore, he decided not to create One-Star Blank Energy Cards anymore. Instead, he wanted to create the lowest-level mechanical card.

A One-Star Blank Mechanical Card—the Sleeve Arrow!
