Card: I Rebuild Five Thousand Years of Chinese Civilization in Another World

Chapter 173 Chinese New Year
Sun Shize thought it was impossible. He pondered and said, "How could that be? I heard that the Martial Arts Academy has the same number of places as the Wind and Cloud Academy, which is three hundred people."

"What are the admission requirements for the Martial Arts Academy? How could Tiansheng City not be able to meet them?"

What exactly is going on?

Sun Xiaoxiao also looked at Xie Yuwei. Did she know some information?

Jie Yuwei said to them, "The enrollment age for the Martial Arts Academy is the same as that for the Wind and Cloud Academy, which is ten to twelve years old."

"Aside from the age limit, the only requirement is that you must cultivate martial energy."

Sun Shize exclaimed in surprise, "How is this possible!"

Very few people can cultivate martial energy around the age of ten. As far as he knew, only his sister in the entire Tiansheng City could achieve this.

With such stringent conditions, how can the Martial Arts Academy recruit new students?
Xie Yuwei said to them, "The current dean of the Martial Arts Academy is Ming Zihui, General Ming."

"The entire Ling Kingdom knows that such an academy has opened in Tiansheng City. Because of General Ming, martial arts geniuses from all over the country want to enter the Martial Arts Academy to study. According to the academy's statistics, more than 500 people have already met the admission requirements."

"How could this be?" Sun Shize exclaimed in surprise.

With so many people competing for admission, will his sister be able to get in?
Could it be that the Martial Arts Academy, like the Wind and Cloud Academy, has its enrollment quotas controlled by powerful families?

He was quite relaxed during this time, thinking that his sister's admission to the martial arts academy was a sure thing. Now it seems that it might not be so!

The brother and sister began to feel nervous.

Xie Yuwei took out an admission letter and handed it to Sun Xiaoxiao, saying, "I have an admission letter here. You can write your name on it."

Sun Shize and Sun Xiaoxiao were overjoyed. Sun Xiaoxiao took the admission letter and immediately knew that it was specially made, with a powerful martial energy sealed on it.

Without a doubt, both of them knew that the admission letter was genuine.

Unexpectedly, the martial arts academy had already begun recruiting students in a place they were unaware of.

"Thank you, Sister Wei!" Sun Xiaoxiao said happily.

With this admission letter, she could register at the Martial Arts Academy.

Xie Yuchen urged her, "More than 500 people have applied, but the academy only accepts 300. The competition is fierce. Hurry up and write your name down so that someone else can snatch your application."

Upon hearing what Jie Yuchen said, Sun Shize and Sun Xiaoxiao both felt that it made sense.

Sun Xiaoxiao took out a pen and ink from her Hundred-Piece Card, and Sun Shize quickly said, "Let me write, little sister, let me write!"

His handwriting is better than his sister's, so let him write the name.

Sun Xiaoxiao also felt that her handwriting was not as good as her brother's, so she handed the brush and ink to Sun Shize.

Sun Shize cherished this admission letter. He put on his best effort and wrote his sister's name on it.

Xie Yuchen and Xie Yufei watched from the side. Seeing his elegant handwriting, Xie Yuchen said enviously, "I didn't expect you to write so well."

With the world now plagued by monsters, private schools have long since disappeared from towns and villages across the country, except for major cities.

People who wanted to learn to read could only be taught by their own family members.

The fact that Xie Yuwei and her two siblings could read was entirely due to their mother being a well-bred lady from a prominent family.

Nowadays, very few young people have such beautiful handwriting as Sun Shize.

Sun Shize was embarrassed by the praise and said modestly, "It's because my father taught me well. I practiced with my father."

The three siblings, Xie Yuwei and her brother, exclaimed in admiration, "He truly is worthy of being a county magistrate."

If Sun Shize's handwriting is so good, his father's handwriting must be just as good.

Sun Xiaoxiao carefully took the delivery certificate. Thinking about entering the Martial Arts Academy soon, her heart leaped with joy. Xie Yuwei, Sun Shize, Xie Yuchen, Sun Xiaoxiao, and Xie Yufei, five teenagers, gathered together to celebrate the New Year. Huang Yongqing and the five Saint-level card makers, however, were not as leisurely as they were.

After obtaining the photocopied seal, Huang Yongqing went to the Card Spirit Hall with five Saint-level card makers.

Everyone gathered in the charnel house and began to study the seals that Xie Yuwei had given them.

Since the stamp could only be used to photocopy basic cards, they recruited many junior card makers and had them take turns using the stamp to photocopy cards.

These junior card makers are not as skilled as Xie Yufei.

Xie Yufei had to photocopy ten cards at once to exhaust her spiritual energy, while the card makers at the Card Spirit Hall could only photocopy five to six cards at a time.

After that, they began to exhaust themselves.

It was through this incident that Huang Yongqing and others realized that Xie Yufei was not simple either.

Huang Yongqing had these junior card makers take turns making copies, with each person making five to six copies. After ten people took turns, they had made fifty-six copies in just fifteen minutes.

Such efficiency is truly astonishing. Without using a stamp for photocopying, it would take at least two or three days for ten people to copy fifty cards.

Huang Yongqing, Lu Qiulin, and others wanted to know the maximum number of stamps they could make, so they summoned all the junior card makers from the Card Spirit Hall and had them take turns using the stamps to make copies.

After all 100 card makers had taken their turn, seven hours had passed. In those seven hours, they had photocopied 600 basic cards.

The card makers who participated in the photocopying were all shocked when they saw the more than 600 cards laid out on the table.

In seven hours, they, a hundred people, copied more than six hundred cards.

What an astonishing number!

Even during New Year's Eve, they couldn't care less about their families; everyone excitedly gathered around the seal, gazing at it with intense interest.

After all 100 card makers had finished their turn, the card maker who was making the first round of copies immediately said, "My spiritual power has recovered, and I can continue copying cards."

Seeing that the seals were undamaged, Huang Yongqing, Lü Qiulin, and others immediately decided, "Let's do it again."

One hundred card makers took turns making copies.

Another seven hours passed, and the efficiency of the stamp copying remained unchanged.

The seal may not wear out, but people cannot go without rest.

After Huang Yongqing and others gained a basic understanding of the seal, they arranged for the card makers to work and rest in shifts, creating a schedule for them to ensure the seals never stopped functioning and to maximize their effectiveness.

-

Xie Yuwei was unaware that Huang Yongqing and the others had not gone home for the Lunar New Year, but instead stayed at the Karing Hall to work on the limits of seal making.

She had a great time playing at home with her younger siblings, Sun Shize, and Sun Xiaoxiao.

All five of them were very happy. Without the supervision of their elders, they had a great time.

On the second day of the new year, the first Lu Ban suddenly came to visit.

Li Qiyu accompanied him.

"Auntie, Lu Ban?" Xie Yuwei was surprised by their visit.

Li Qiyu said helplessly, "Lu Ban wanted to see you, but I was afraid that if I let him come alone, the Card Spirit Master would intercept him and take him away, so I brought him along."

"You want to see me?" Xie Yuwei asked Lu Ban.

Since Lu Ban went to build the Martial Arts Academy, she has no longer been the one to activate him.

What could he possibly want from her?
