    Considering the ingredients I had at my disposal this was already the best I could do unless I used my mastery of the blood rule but I could not use the blood rule to enhance the capability of the card was about to create as the use of the Ego Gem was against the rules of the challenge.


    That was because possessing an ego gem or theprehension of a card apprentice in a particr rule did not define their mastery of card creation and it would go against the fairness of the challenge.


    Different card creationistsprehend different sets of rules and their meaning, the random set of ingredients provided to the participants for the challenge might favor the rulesprehended by one of the contenders but not the other. Turning this challenge in to ramble rather than a show of one''s mastery of card creation. Therefore the use of ego gems and rule power was banned in the challenge.


    Instead of worrying about what could be, I went through the newly created soul pathway arrangement in themon core and then tugged on the soul pathway of themon core that turned it into a card.


    Soon my grimoire let out a brilliant light and then a card floated out of it beforending back into it. Seeing this the crowd gasped in shock as most of them did not think that the silver milk fraudster would be the first one of to finish creating the card. But nobody dared to make noise in order not to affect Chris''s state of mind but their collective gasp was already enough to distract him, however, Chris did not let that little incident affect him. Showing that his mind was more stable and concentrated than regr card creationists.


    Seeing Chris was nowhere near theption of his card creation. I felt like I had overestimated Chris''s capabilities. I guess I was giving more credit to his origin card than I should be.


    How do I know about Chris''s origin card? I had my super brain card hack into his golden grimoire the movement I learned that he using a high-level disguise to hide his identity. I did that to uncover his true identity but learning his true identity I stayed to gather information on all the cards he had equipped hoping to find clues about the time-rted ability that he had disyed.


    Turns out the time-rted ability that Chris used was the skill of his origin card, Ancestral Inheritance. Chris''s origin card was very peculiar. Therefore, I did not dare to underestimate him but I ended up overestimating him. Even though Chris''s origin card was capable he had to be capable to utilize it. I failed to take that into consideration.

    Chris''s origin card was the second origin card I hade in contact with that would bring him closer to death the more he uses it, the first one was Corey''s grandfather''s origin card. At least Chris had a choice and could use mental strength to resist the side-effects of his origin card but Corey''s grandfather did not even have that luxury, he had to act to wimps of his origin card or face penalty.


    With the entire knowledge of his ancestors at his disposal, I had no choice but to take Chris seriously but it seems Chris could not makeplete and efficient use of his ancestor''s prowess because of his origin card''s side-effect, mental erosion. I was surprised to see that Chris could control mental erosiondespite equipping multiple cards that would enhance his mental strength.


    I guess this was because of the baptism that came every time he broke through a realm. The baptism seems to have enhanced the side-effect of his origin card along with its other abilities. I could only think of this reason to exin why Chris could not use his origin card efficiently despite equipping various rare-grade mental strength enhancement cards.


    But I decided not to judge Chris''s capability quickly and hold off until I saw what kind of card Chris ends up creating. After a good five minutes, Chris''s grimoire illuminated with a brilliant light marking that he had sessfully created the card.


    After creating his card Chris turned his sight towards the boy, only to find that he had finished creating his card before him, causing him to frown.
