After the Card soldier card creationist was done with separating the soul pathways belonging to the abilities of both the ingredients, Bloody Vein and Nyon Rope, he then made appropriate preparation and began to fuss them together in a weird combination to create a new soul pathway arrangent such that the resulting card would display the abilities he had extracted from the soul pathway arrangents of the Bloody Vein and Nyon Rope.

The referee and the other card creationist in the audience found that the way the boy was arranging the soul pathways was unconventional and it did not follow any of the card creation principles out there. Thinking of this they began to notice that the sa was true when the Card soldier was separating the soul pathways of the ingredients, he did not seem to follow any card creation principle or soul pathway cutting either. However, they did not notice it earlier because his thod of separating the soul pathways from their original soul pathway arrangent was so simple. They were all srized by the decisiveness and precision displayed by him, not to forget his shocking knowledge about both the ingredient's soul pathway arrangents.

The card creationist in the audience wondered why the boy was not following the standard and widespread card creation principles, soul pathway cutting thods, Soul pathway repairing techniques, etc. Then suddenly a weird thought crossed their mind, Does the Card soldier not have any interdiate and advanced knowledge of card creation? But they quickly erased that thought as soon as it crossed their mind considering the impossibility of such a scenario.

As for the referee, as a diamond-grade card creationist, he too noticed the peculiarity in the Card soldier's soul pathway cutting, but unlike the audience, he did not think that the boy did not follow the standard card creation principles or did not use any interdiate and advance soul cutting thods but he felt that the boy's understanding of the card creation principals and thods had reached to such a level that he did not make any unnecessary moves and steps as he cut the soul pathways as these moves and steps were like safety rails such that in case the card creationist made a small mistake he had ti to rectify it before soul pathways get damaged and start degrading.

But for soone who displayed such decisiveness and precision when cutting the soul pathways these safety rails were more of a nuisance than a help, hence they did not need to follow the standard card creation principles when cutting the soul pathway cutting. This was the main reason the boy's card creation process reminded the referee of his master's card creation process.

In this instant the referee's speculation was wrong the card creationists in the audience were right as the boy had no knowledge of interdiate and advanced card creation, all he relied on was the basic card creation taught to him by his late parents. However, thanks to the Soul pupils and the guidance of the Hive AI's simulations, the boy was able to achieve the decisiveness and precision that ca with achieving the peak in the mastery of card creation. Hence in a way, the referee was wrong but right too.

Soon the referee changed his mind when the boy did not follow the standard card creation principle and thods to combine the extracted soul pathways and create the main soul pathways arrangent for the card he planned to create. The boy's every move as though decisive only induced madness in the eyes of the referee as watched. Even he, a diamond-grade card creationist, would not blindly combine the soul pathways of the various ingredients without any room for correction.

However, as the boy successfully combined all the soul pathways he extracted from the soul pathway arrangents of both ingredients to form a new soul pathway arrangents which looked highly stable.

Seeing such a result the referee could think of only one possible reason why the boy was able to create a new soul pathway arrangent with high stability despite recklessly combining all the soul pathways and that was because the boy had already done it before multiple tis.

Yes, seeing that the boy was able to create a new stable soul pathway arrangent despite totally disregarding the standard soul pathway rger principals, the referee like the audience could not help but wonder if the boy had created a similar card that he had created for the challenge before and multiple tis at that, aning he doubted if the challenge was rigged for the boy to win.

The referee too started to doubt if the Southern card creationist association had rigged the challenge without him knowing, that would be possible if the Southern Emperor had stepped in. With this thought a deep frown ford on the referee's face as he turned to look at Ann who was reprimanding the auction house director for his incompetence in uncovering how did Chris Ainsworth enter the southern capital when he was seen entering a gate dungeon in the western region.

However, Ann soon stopped scolding the director, turned to make eye contact with the referee feeling his gaze directed at her, and nodded at him respectfully. The identity of the referee was not simple, he was the junior brother of Minster Lorn. He was supposed to be the leader of the Southern Array master association and the Southern card creationist association, however, he declined the position because he preferred to focus on his research than politics and authority. In the end, it beca the responsibility of Minister Lorn who had his hands full managing the Royal court and his research work.

Focusing his gaze on Ann, the referee imdiately noticed the minute discrepancy in her soul pathways signature so he imdiately understood that she was not the Southern emperor but her other half, the good half, Ann, who would not abuse her authority regardless of the situation and difficulties.

Now the referee was confused unable to figure out what was going on, if the Southerner card creationist association did not rig the challenge in their representative's favor then did the Card soldier get lucky?
