Card Master: My Special Feature - Choose One of Three

When Bai Miao called her name, Xue Hongyan walked calmly from the back of the classroom to the podium.

Her long, smooth, and beautiful hair swayed gently, her delicate face held a faint smile, and her charming figure swayed naturally as she walked.

The allure of mature women has stirred up waves in the second-year compulsory spiritual arts class at Yujiang University.

The young college sophomores had never seen such a stunningly feminine woman before.

Most boys blushed even from just a few glances at Xue Hongyan, let alone those sitting on either side of the aisle, who all squeezed their legs together as the fragrant breeze wafted by.

The female students looked at Xue Hongyan with envy. Who wouldn't want to grow into a mature and assertive woman?

"Is she a student at our school too?" a student asked, puzzled. "She doesn't seem like a student."

His classmates explained, "Yujiang University is not far from the Special Operations Bureau. Agents from the Special Operations Bureau often come to audit classes. She must be someone from the Special Operations Bureau."

"So they're Secret Service agents!" the student who asked the question exclaimed.

Most of the students in the classroom dreamed of passing the Secret Service's exams after graduation and becoming Secret Service agents.

"Assistant Bai, how do you need me to cooperate?" Xue Hongyan asked Bai Miao with narrowed eyes, wanting to know what Bai Miao was up to.

If it's just about causing her trouble, then it only proves that Bai Miao is nothing special and doesn't live up to her opinion of him.

"What is your current psionic level?"

"Level 26."

A collective gasp rippled through the classroom.

Level 26 in psionic abilities is a level that allows one to become a team leader in the Special Operations Bureau. In schools, only teachers of practical combat courses possess such a high level of skill.

Most students graduate from university with a psychic energy level of thirteen or fourteen, which is considered excellent.

"Alright, then please use Spirit Spell One - Missile on the test stake across from you."

"What's so difficult about this?" Xue Hongyan raised her hand gracefully, making a gesture corresponding to the spiritual technique, and pointed to the test stake.

A psionic missile struck the test stake at high speed, and the power display screen behind the stake showed the number 20.

With just a wave of his hand, he can use Spirit Technique One to inflict a level 20 attack. Is this the strength of the Special Operations Bureau?

The students were completely convinced of Xue Hongyan's talent.

Many students gloated. Bai Miao wanted to find someone to establish his authority, but he didn't expect to kick a hornet's nest. Now things are going to get complicated.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Bai Miao also raised his hand. He did not make the gesture for Spirit Technique One, but still condensed a Spirit Energy Missile.

The missile was launched, and the power display showed the same number as Xue Hongyan's: twenty.

While the students were still stunned, Bai Miao began to evaluate Xue Hongyan's spiritual arts.

"Student Xue, your level of spiritual arts is, to put it mildly, utterly terrible."

"With level 26 spiritual energy, I was able to launch a missile with a power of 20 when I activated the first spiritual technique."

"I can easily do a spiritual spell of that power—a missile—with my level sixteen spiritual energy."

It seemed that he was afraid Xue Hongyan and the students in the class wouldn't believe him.

Bai Miao casually raised his hand and fired a dozen or so psionic missiles at the training stakes, each with a power of twenty.

Amidst the shocked gazes of the entire class and Xue Hongyan, Bai Miao began his first lesson.

"Spiritual arts and cards are both amplifiers of a card master's spiritual energy. If you cannot amplify your spiritual energy when using spiritual arts, it means you have not truly mastered the spiritual arts."

"Reaching my level is easy, would you like to learn?"

Bai Miao tilted his head and asked the students in the class, and the pink doll on his head raised its head and silently followed Bai Miao's question, "Do you want to learn how to meow?"

"think!"

Students who can get into Yujiang University must have some discernment.

Bai Miao's move was so impressive that they were already in awe of him.

The spell was performed without hand gestures, yet its power was exaggerated and its frequency terrifying.

This teaching assistant is really something!

"Alright, then I'll teach you." A smile appeared on Bai Miao's face.

Little brat, I can easily impress you with just a little skill.

"Student Xue Hongyan, could you describe to everyone how you used Spirit Technique One?"

Bai Miao was certainly not deliberately making things difficult for Xue Hongyan. As for how capable Bai Miao was, Xue Hongyan had to experience it for herself to truly understand.

Xue Hongyan raised her hand and made the gesture corresponding to the first spiritual technique. Another spiritual missile was launched, and this time the number displayed on the screen was only nineteen.

She recalled her experience using the first spiritual technique, answering in as much detail as possible:

"First, make the hand gesture for Spirit Technique One, aim at the target, then imagine a psionic missile condensing at your fingertips, and finally unleash the psionic energy."

The process of most students performing the procedure was no different from Xue Hongyan's.

Bai Miao did not deny her, "This is a very standard procedure."

"However, the standard spellcasting process can only allow you to use spiritual magic, but it cannot allow you to truly master it."

"The essence of spiritual arts is the use and specialization of spiritual energy. To use spiritual arts well, you must first learn to control spiritual energy."

Fearing that Xue Hongyan and the students would not understand, Bai Miao conjured a spiritual technique—missiles—from his palm, brow, elbow, chest, and back.

It remains dormant and does not erupt.

"As you can see, spiritual magic is not limited to any particular part of the body; the hand gestures used to cast the spell are simply to facilitate focused mental concentration on the missile."

I casually tossed the missiles at the training stakes, and the numbers on the screen remained at twenty.

It's normal that the students in the second year of the compulsory spiritual arts course, as well as Xue Hongyan, are not as skilled in spiritual arts as Bai Miao.

The Shenzhou Alliance's education system is based on cards. Psionic energy is merely the energy source that drives the cards. The focus of card master training is on developing the abilities of cards and maximizing combat power by combining cards.

For most card players, it's better to develop card abilities rather than spending time studying spiritual arts, as this will have a more immediate and effective impact on their strength.

Spiritual Arts are not free to all card players in the Divine Continent Alliance. Except for Spiritual Arts I to Spiritual Arts Fifteen, which are provided free of charge in the school curriculum.

After level 15, every single spiritual spell becomes incredibly expensive.

The ways to obtain such positions are extremely limited. Either you need to have a wealthy and influential family background, or you need to work in the Secret Service, the military, or the command office and perform exceptionally well.

Bai Miao comes from a family with a strong foundation. The Bai family rose to prominence with the help of Yan Zhengming, the current supreme commander of Yujiang. The Jiang family has a history of over a century and plays a pivotal role in the Special Operations Bureau.

Bai Miao wanted to learn spiritual arts, which outsiders desperately sought but could not obtain. He could get his hands on them by begging his grandfather and asking his grandmother.

In Bai Miao's memory, the Yan family inherited many advanced spiritual techniques, while the Jiang family followed a path that combined martial arts and card games, and their inheritance of spiritual techniques was limited.

The concept of experiencing psychic energy was not Bai Miao's groundbreaking first attempt.

The first step for a card master to summon cards is to sense spiritual energy.

As long as you can sense psionic energy, you can summon cards.

However, sensing psychic energy is only the first step in using psychic arts; only by learning to manipulate psychic energy can one possibly master psychic arts.

The requirement for students in Bai Miaosui's class is that they should be able to sense the flow of spiritual energy within their bodies.

It's too difficult to feel the flow of spiritual energy in one go, Bai Miao compromised:

"We all know that most of the psionic energy exists in the mind of the card master, and a small part is free-floating in the body of the card master."

"Student Xue Hongyan, now use it one more time, Spirit Technique One. This time, before you imagine condensing a spiritual energy missile at your fingertips, imagine the spiritual energy flowing out from your spiritual sea of ​​consciousness, through your spine and arms, and to your fingertips."
