Great Flame Country, Guangchuan City.

At the end of January, deep into winter.

In a classroom of over forty students of Senior Class One at Guangchuan Fourth Middle School, the bespectacled class head, Teacher Yang Jun, was standing at the podium explaining a simulated test of the Star Beast Atlas.

"The last question in the fill-in-the-blank section: the six-dimensional qualifications of the Fierce Lizard..."

Yang Jun slightly lowered the test paper he had been holding with his left hand and adjusted his glasses with his right, then looked up at the students in the class.

"Speaking of the Fierce Lizard, it has indeed appeared frequently in exams over the past few years. Not only its six-dimensional qualifications, but all its basic information, as well as the methods for dealing with it when encountered, must be mastered. Which student can give us a detailed explanation?"

Upon hearing Yang Jun's question, the students quietly looked down.

On Blue Sea Star, there are tens of thousands of species of Star Beasts. Even though high school only covers beginner-level courses, there are still several hundred species of Star Beasts involved.

The Fierce Lizard is one of the more obscure Star Beasts. It's relatively straightforward to discuss its six-dimensional qualifications, but when it comes to basic information and handling methods, very few can explain it completely.

Of course, there were a few students in class who appeared confident, as though they knew the answer but had no intention of standing up to respond.

No matter where it is, those willing to actively answer teachers' questions in class are always in the minority.

Since no one volunteered to answer, Yang Jun would have to pick a student. His gaze swept rapidly over the many students below and furrowed his brow when he saw someone sitting by the window.

There, in the second-to-last row by the window, sat a handsome young man with black hair and black eyes, quietly staring at the test paper on his desk. He seemed attentive, but upon closer inspection, he appeared to be somewhat distracted.

"Su Yuan, your turn to explain." Yang Jun called out to the male student directly.

Su Yuan blinked his eyes upon hearing his name and quickly regained his composure.

Had the class head called on him?

Su Yuan looked at Teacher Yang standing at the podium, staring at him, and quickly realized the situation—he must've posed a question and "luckily" chosen him.

However, he had indeed been distracted a moment before and was unsure of what had been asked.

Su Yuan slowly stood up while his eyes swiftly scanned the chalkboard. The last item read, "The Fluorescent Butterfly is attracted to the scent of the Tan Shui Wood..."

The Fluorescent Butterfly...

Su Yuan's gaze landed on the test paper on his desk, quickly locating the Fluorescent Butterfly.

This was the second-to-last fill-in-the-blank question. Below the fill-in-the-blanks were the essay questions, which Yang Jun usually explained directly without posing any questions.

If the Fluorescent Butterfly had already been discussed, then it was likely the final fill-in-the-blank question that followed it, the six-dimensional attributes of the Fierce Lizard...

Having an idea in his mind and his recollection of the data on the Fierce Lizard flashing by, Su Yuan was about to answer when he suddenly heard a quiet prompting voice from the right:

"Basic information and handling methods for the Fierce Lizard."

Hearing this prompt, Su Yuan felt a small movement in his heart and, after a brief moment of thought, began to answer:

"The Fierce Lizard, an Ordinary Grade Star Beast, with six-dimensional qualifications: Strength E, Agility F, Defense F, Constitution E, Spirit F, Star Power F. It is a type of Star Beast with relatively prominent constitution and strength, mostly falling within the Star Apprentice Level and Bronze Level, never exceeding the Silver Level.

It possesses Star Skills: Beginner Frenzy (Ordinary) and Barbaric Sprint (Ordinary).

It typically lives in forests, swamps, and similar regions, its weakness being the very fragile base of its tail, which, if heavily damaged, will cause it to lose its balance."

"Good, very well done!"

Listening to Su Yuan's detailed and accurate response, Yang Jun's wrinkled brow gradually relaxed, and he nodded appreciatively.

Yang Jun looked at Su Yuan and pondered for a moment before saying, "Focus on the class. Even if you can't awaken your Soul Card, with your level in the liberal arts subjects, you won't have a bad career path after graduation."

Su Yuan replied, "Thank you for the reminder, Teacher Yang."

Gesturing for Su Yuan to sit down, Yang Jun looked at the student who had perfectly answered his question but sighed inwardly.

The Su Yuan of the past, blessed with extraordinary talent, had broken through to the Star Apprentice Sixth Stage in his first year's second semester, becoming the first student of Guangchuan Fourth Middle School to achieve it and making a name for himself, with the school placing high hopes in him!

But since he reached Star Apprentice Sixth Stage and obtained his Soul Awakening Card, he had been unable to awaken his Soul Card, resulting in slow progress in his Star Power cultivation. Now, halfway through his senior year, he was only at Star Apprentice Seventh Stage.

And those students whom he had left behind, after awakening their Soul Cards and cultivating at an increased pace, were quickly catching up; one after another, they reached the Star Apprentice Seventh Stage and even Eighth Stage!

"What a pity…"

Yang Jun also felt sorry for Su Yuan, thankful that the kid was excellent in all his other studies except for Star Power cultivation, consistently ranking in the top three of the literary subjects in the mock exams.

Yang Jun withdrew his gaze, picked up the test paper, and said, "So the next question, the short answer question…"

Sitting back at his seat, Su Yuan let out a slight sigh of relief.

"That was a close call. Almost embarrassed myself."

Thinking back to the warning he'd just received, Su Yuan turned his head to look to his right.

Sitting to the right was a girl who looked very refreshing and capable, with a red short ponytail, sitting upright, casually twirling a black pen in her right hand.

"Didn't expect Jiang Jun to actually speak up and help," Su Yuan was somewhat surprised.

At Guangchuan Fourth Middle School, there were four Star Apprentice Classes and fifteen ordinary classes. Among the four Star Apprentice Classes, up to this point, there were only a handful of students who had reached the Star Apprentice Eighth Stage, each one a genius aiming for the top twenty of the Great Flame power training colleges.

Jiang Jun was one of them, straightforward yet somewhat cold in disposition. Coupled with the awakening of an Elite Soul Card, she was powerful, making it hard for her to gel with the other girls, while the boys didn't dare to mess with her too much either. Over time, she hadn't made many friends...

Speaking softly, Su Yuan said, "Thanks."

Jiang Jun just glanced at Su Yuan expressionlessly, then looked back at the teacher, showing no other reaction.

"This girl's temperament really is cold..."

Shaking his head, Su Yuan didn't think any further, withdrew his gaze towards the desk, and silently called in his mind, "System!"

The view before him blurred slightly, and a semi-transparent panel that no one else could see appeared in front of Su Yuan:

[Su Yuan]

[Level: Star Apprentice Seventh Stage]

[Soul Card: None]

[Star Dust: 9]

[Card Enhancement]

...

"9 Star Dust points... soon, when class ends at six, I should be able to recover to 10 Star Dust points."

"With 10 Star Dust points I can add one more point, and according to the pattern of the past year, this time, it's very likely to be the last chance to do so!"

"I've waited too long for this day!"

Excitement and a burning eagerness surged in Su Yuan's eyes. His distraction earlier was also because of this system.

To speak of it, he was originally just an ordinary office worker on Earth, who, due to an accident a year ago, had crossed into this world called Blue Sea Star.

Unlike Earth, not only did this place have a technological level no less than that of Earth, but it was also filled with a transcendent power called "Star Power."

Moving mountains and filling seas, changing the weather, calling the wind and summoning the rain, traveling thousands of miles in an instant... All those things which only existed in myths on Earth could all be achieved here, and even more exaggeratedly!

As long as one could control Star Power!

In the history of Blue Sea Star, ten thousand years ago, the entire world was ruled by various mythological Star Beasts.

Humans, innately weak, could only struggle to survive under the mouths of low-level Star Beasts, barely maintaining their propagation.

That was until a portion of humans, exceptionally talented and brilliant, invented the method to wield "Star Cards" to control Star Power.

Since then, those pioneers blazed trails, fought against the current, slew Star Beasts, banished Alien Races, expanded territories, established countries, and rose up step by step, ushering in the era of human rule!

Now, the Great Flame Country standing in the southeast of Blue Sea Star, is one of the strongest nations on Blue Sea Star.

And those who can arm themselves with cards, master Star Power, are known as Star Card Masters!
