One or more "Scholar" summons.

[Landscape of All Things]: The "Rhythmic Body" used as the material for this soul card will appear in the Jieying Library as an administrator and gain [Administrator Privileges]: Within the Jieying Library, you can use your own knowledge to fight. If relevant knowledge is stored in the library, this knowledge will not be forgotten.

…

This is the Link Soul Card that Ren Zheng spent a lot of time creating. It has eight anchor points! Not only that, the summoning conditions are also quite difficult.

The World Shadow Library needs to use the "Scholar" summoned beast as a connection anchor, and the current "Scholar's Self" needs to be connected to the Soul Energy Well to exist. In other words, a Soul Card Master can only summon one Scholar's Self.

As a scholar, I only have one anchor point. To gather enough connection materials for the World Shadow Library, at least eight Soul Card Masters must work together... This is a hard condition. No matter how strong the Soul Card Master is, it has to be done this way. There is no other way.

But when you see the effect, you know that the summoning conditions of this card are absolutely worth it.

Three effects, none of them are slacking off.

[Landscape of All Things] allows the "Rhythmic Body" that serves as the material for this soul card to fight using knowledge... What does this mean?

This means that if Yu Cang's rhythmic body is used as the connecting material, Yu Cang can directly rub the ice city with his hands in the real world!

Moreover, if the library records relevant rhythms, then this part of the rhythm will not be forgotten due to battle... Yu Cang himself may not need to use this ability, but for those scholars, it is tantamount to directly turning on the unlimited firepower mode.

Now, among the more than seventy guardians of the country in the Wen Gu Lecture Hall, more than half of them are human soul card masters of low level, and they have no combat experience. At most, they have some basic knowledge of wilderness survival, and can be said to be powerless.

But with this World Shadow Library, these nation-guarding warriors can be transformed directly into artillery positions... In this way, it is equivalent to increasing the number of national-level "Soul Card Masters" in Yan Country on paper by a large margin!

This is a very significant improvement in overall strength.

At that time, these card makers only need to bring seven or eight apprentices, and once the library is opened on the battlefield, it will be a gap that the enemy cannot cross.

Although, if these card makers are not strong, the library will not last long, but even if they can gain the strength of a nation in a short period of time, it is already strong enough.

This ability alone is enough to support the strength of the entire soul card.

The second ability, [Benefits from the Sages], is even more important.

Temporary understanding of the starry sky vision!

This may not be of much use to those powerful card makers, but for those students... this ability is simply a holy land manufacturing machine.

Not everyone can enter the Starry Sky Vision. The talent required here is extremely high. If this kind of talent can be created, one can imagine what will happen.

Even if it is only a temporary talent, it is precious - if you stay in this environment for a long time, the temporary talent may become permanent!

Compared with the first two abilities, the last ability [Immortal Knowledge], which provides up to 90% damage reduction, seems less important.

This soul card is enough to show Ren Zheng's level as a national guardian who can hold a myth.

It was for this reason that Yu Cang initially gave the production of this soul card to Ren Zheng. No one was more suitable than Ren Zheng to draw the "Jieying Library".

After all, since the Jieying campus was opened, the collections in the Jieying Library were almost all compiled by Ren Zheng himself, and the knowledge contained in it can be regarded as part of Ren Zheng's memory.

Although Guan Qingrui and his team had also been involved, their focus was now entirely on fusion summoning. Improving the library, a project that was very likely to cause forgetting, would not benefit them at all, so they only invested a symbolic amount of knowledge.

This amount of knowledge did not exceed Ren Zheng's understanding.

Therefore, Ren Zheng can be said to know the Jieying Library very well, and only he can successfully make this soul card!

…

"Then... what exactly is that?" Jiang Lou opened his mouth wide. "The master asked us to see... is this it? Could this thing be made by the master?"

His first reaction was disbelief.

After all, being under this giant tree, even he who knew nothing about card making had some inexplicable insights, and his understanding of his several connected soul cards seemed to be deeper.

Judging from his own performance, one of the abilities of this soul card is probably to increase comprehension, and it is not low... To be able to achieve this level, and to have such a large-scale soul card, it must be a legacy, right?

And it is definitely not just an ordinary heirloom, it is very likely to be of high or even super-high rank!

This kind of soul card...can a master make it?

…

Jiang Lou shook his head violently.

Jiang Lou, ah Jiang Lou, you don’t trust the master again!

The master is a man who can create miracles time and time again! This kind of soul card can naturally do it!

But in this case, it would not be appropriate to call him master anymore. We should change it to grandmaster.

Just when Jiang Lou was about to say something, Lin Yunqing said:

"Isn't this the soul card made by Senior Yu Cang?" Lin Yunqing's eyes were full of satisfaction.

There is no way not to be satisfied. Such a beautiful and shocking giant tree, with the magnificence of knowledge shining all over its body, such an existence simply hits Lin Yunqing's XP.

"This is the work of Principal Ren," Lin Yunqing explained. "You may not have seen it... but Jie Shuang has already seen it. This is the tree in the center of the Jieying campus. It's called the Jieying Library."

"Yeah." Gu Jieshuang looked up at the giant tree without saying anything.

After comprehending the star level, she was able to enter the starry sky vision.

Although she couldn't see those rhythms in this state, she could touch solidified areas like the Jieying campus... It was indeed beautiful.

A giant tree growing in the gazes of countless people, existing in the gap between the real world and knowledge. Gu Jieshuang was already deeply shocked when he saw such an existence for the first time.

And when it stretches out its branches and leaves in the real world, the sense of shock is indescribable.

"Is that so..." Qiu Ding nodded blankly.

That's right... Master, you can't go too far...

"Senior Yu Cang sorted out the method for making the Jieying Library, but due to his lack of skills, he handed the task over to Principal Ren." Lin Yunqing smiled. "It was actually a bit rushed, after all, there was only a week. Senior was a bit too confident. For him, a week would be more than enough to make a soul card, but Principal Ren almost failed."

Jiang, Wang, Qiu: ...

Wang Hui:...?

No, what's your tone?

From the tone of your voice, it seems like the master is even more outrageous?

He has already started to instruct Principal Ren... He is a national guardian!

From what Lin Yunqing said, it was obvious that he was quite dissatisfied with Ren Zheng's card-making efficiency.

No, although everyone trusts Yu Cang, aren’t you exaggerating a bit?

Especially Wang Hui, he didn't know what expression to use at this moment.

Has this brother of mine become so exaggerated now? He can even design Soul Cards that he himself is incapable of making, and he still complains about the slow card-making speed of the Zhenguo... Maybe it's just this Lin Yunqing who's exaggerating... Otherwise, it's too magical.

Facing the reactions of several people, Lin Yunqing remained calm.

Obviously, she didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said.

…

At this moment, countless people raised their heads and looked at the giant tree in the sky.

Among them are students, teachers, and staff. They don’t know what it is or why it suddenly blooms in the school, but they know.

Ren Zheng is in charge of the Ancient Capital University. No matter what this is, since there is no sound of fighting, there must be no danger.

So, just enjoy it.

Many people made wishes under the tree, some took photos, and some were as excited as monkeys.

…

at this time

Wen Gu Lecture Hall

At this time, half of the podium had merged with the vigorous bark, and the ground and walls had changed shape into rhythm and then re-entered the bark.

This building has been integrated into the library in some way.

The rhythmic bodies of several scholars who were used as materials reappeared, and this time, they were all covered with a layer of faint blue luster.

Now, they can fight with their knowledge, and as long as the library is not destroyed, they will not be harmed.

"Everyone," Ren Zheng said, "This Soul Card is the result of my refinement based on the ideas Cang provided. Now, the eight scholars and I possess a combat power no less than that of a nation."

The basic information of the soul card of Jieying Library was displayed on the large screen that had been integrated with the wall of the ancient tree.

The audience was completely silent.

The students who guarded the country had not yet realized what was happening, but these country guardians, especially those who descended in the form of rhythmic bodies, had already seen through the ceiling and the towering tree.

At this moment, they were all shocked and speechless - it was not because of the scene, as they had seen much grander scenes before, but being in it and feeling it firsthand, this direct improvement in their understanding and the direct use of knowledge as a weapon were the sources of their shock.

Yu Cang was right, connecting summons meant having the possibility of breaking common sense and rules!

What kind of library is this? This is clearly a wizard's tower.

In the future, a national-level card maker with eight students can transform into a top-level defense tower. After a simple calculation, they even found that the combat power obtained in this way may exceed that of an ordinary national soul card maker in a short period of time!

Most of the people present were single-professional card makers with little combat experience. When they realized this possibility, they were briefly shocked and then all became excited.

Can they... also possess this level of power?

This is so cool!

At this moment, this group of elderly people seemed to feel the passion of their youth again.

Now, no one questions whether Star Sky Vision should be promoted.

Seeing this scene, who wouldn’t want a library of their own?

Storing all your knowledge in it will not only make it more convenient to train apprentices, but you can also act as a combatant at critical moments.

Apart from anything else, seeing all my life's learning transformed into rhythmic books and arranged in them gives me a great sense of accomplishment.

Apart from anything else, being in the library can increase one's understanding. For this reason alone, no one can refuse it.

They knew all too well what this meant.

If this kind of method is only available in the Ancient Capital University, then as long as Ren Zheng opens the library in the Ancient Capital University from time to time, it will not take long before this place becomes a holy place for card makers.

This kind of thing must be promoted! Nothing much to say.

Looking at the changing expressions of these guardians of the country, Ren Zheng smiled slightly.

"Everyone." Ren Zheng arrived at the wall of the library, and the bark automatically opened, forming a door. "Would you like to come in and take a look?"

"Let's go!" Jiang Shan stood up immediately. "Ren Zheng, you only just gave away such a good thing... That's unfair!"

"You have to blame Yu Cang for this." Ren Zheng said, "It was him who gave me the idea for this soul card... Without Yu Cang, I wouldn't know how to do it even if I wanted to."

The people in the audience were silent.

Ren Zheng's words...almost put Yu Cang in the position of his teacher.

However, if what Ren Zheng said was true, and such a powerful card was due to Cang's perfect thinking, then he is indeed qualified to be the teacher of the country... But, is this really an achievement that someone of his age can create?

But at this moment, they didn't think much about it. They stood up and followed Ren Zheng into the library.

Behind them, their students hurriedly followed.

"This Jieying Library was built directly within the Starry Sky Vision. Since its completion, I have been continuously improving its collection of books." Ren Zheng introduced as he walked. "Even with the special rules of the 'Bubble World' blessing, it is not easy to assemble a collection of books here.

"As mentioned earlier, the nature of the Starry Sky Vision dictates that knowledge can be directly materialized here, but the price is forgetfulness. Organizing a collection of books is subject to this same principle, though forgetting won't be as complete—but this process actually has its advantages.

"Over the past month, I've forgotten things time and again, only to revisit them and re-understand them. I've relived many of my memories, which has given me a lot of insights and even a glimpse of opportunities to make further progress."

Behind him, those who guarded the country were all startled when they heard the words.

One step further? You've already reached the pinnacle of national defense. One step further...

It shouldn't be that easy. There might seem to be only a thin line between a nation's defense and myth, but the difference is immense.

However, since Ren Zheng said so, it means that this is indeed useful. No matter how useful it is, it is an offer that they cannot refuse.

God knows how many years they have been stuck in their respective realms.

Ren Zheng climbed up the half-real and half-virtual wooden steps. The interior of the huge tree was full of bookshelves made of twisted wooden structures, filled with his collection of books. Those were the embodiment of Ren Zheng's memories.

On the way, Ren Zheng also met many teachers at the school.

Their office is in this building... At this moment, the office suddenly merged with the library, and there was a look of confusion on his face.

Seeing Ren Zheng walking by, the teachers quickly stood up.

Although I don’t know what happened, I must say hello to the principal who passed by with a group of extraordinary people.

The building blended seamlessly with the library's interior, with surprisingly little noticeable ambiguity. This was also one of the characteristics of the Location Cards—they could directly alter the terrain, but only the Jieying Library could achieve such a natural effect.

This is a temporary transformation. Once the soul card is unsummoned, it will return to its original state.

Soon, the group arrived at the roof. From here, the interior of the giant tree became much more spacious. Going up further, they arrived at the top of the tree canopy.

The students' mouths had been open all the way, and now that they were standing on the top of the library, the shock on their faces was almost frozen.

From here, you can overlook the entire ancient capital university... and even the ancient capital.

"Everyone," Yu Cang said at this time, "This is Link Summoning—and this is far from its upper limit. Now, with Bubble World technology, Library technology, and the Spirit Particle technology provided by the Queen's friendship, our exploration of the Starry Sky Vision can be guaranteed to be completely safe. I believe the conditions for promotion are ripe."

The wind of the ancient capital blew from afar, blowing across everyone's cheek.

Ye Chengming was the first to speak:

"I agree."

These three simple words have already shown the attitude of the military and even the association.

"Well done, young man." A kind voice came from the side.

From Yu Cang's perspective, he was a guardian of the country.

He knew this national guardian, the Holy City, Zhong Sheng, the holder of the mythical level spell soul card "Zhu Zi Tian Jue".

He is also the descendant of the legendary soul card master, Saint Master Zhongqiu.

"I agree." Zhong Sheng nodded. "My dear friend Yu Cang, Jiang Shan and I have mentioned you many times. As the seasons turn and the year draws to a close, I look forward to enjoying the wonderful sounds with you in Fengyue Cang."

Zhong Sheng spoke slowly, making people feel close to him. Yu Cang smiled and agreed immediately.

"I will definitely go, Senior Zhong."

"I agree too." A cold voice came.

It was a rhythmic body, appearing to be a tall and slender man.

Ling E, the holder of the mythical soul card "Tianmen".

He was already very certain about his position today, so he spoke without hesitation.

After saying this, he gently closed his eyes and said no more.

"I also support promotion." Ning Xingyi's rhythmic body spoke slowly at this time, "Xiao Cang's Starry Sky Vision is of great significance. Promoting it will benefit everyone."

The guardians looked at each other in bewilderment.

As a result, including Ren Zheng, there are five mythical soul card holders who have expressed their attitudes.

Moreover, Ning Xingyi, who always likes quietness and has few close juniors, directly calls her Xiao Cang. The meaning behind this... is self-evident.

Well... there's nothing much to say.

"I agree."

"We agree."

The guardians of the country spoke one after another.

In fact, at this point, it doesn’t matter whether you agree or not.

They just wanted to quickly see if they could get the manufacturing method of the Jieying Library so that they could go back and make their own personal library.

Thanks to Weihuohu nv for the reward!
