Date- 7 April 2321

Time- 13:50

Location- Southern Region, Southern Capital, Southern Card Creationist Association, Auction House

Seeing the unrest in the audience and listening to the wild speculations floating around, the referee immediately took the stage yelling, "Silence." 

The audience immediately went quiet being bombarded by the intimidating atmosphere that suddenly covered the entire auction hall. The referee was of the semi-demigod realm and was very close to successfully forging his divinity to step into the demi-god realm the pressure he let out was no joke. Even some semi-demigods in the audience experienced shortness of their breath let alone the low & mid level card apprentice. 

"If you have any doubts about the challenge then rise a formal protest so that we can address it instead of widely speculating which will not help but instead sully the reputation of the Southern Card Creationist Association and the Southern region," the referee declared asking the audience to not make baseless speculations as it will hurt the reputation of the southern card creationist association which they will not stand. 

e?glesn??el Seeing that nobody in the crowd dare to comment, the referee nodded in satisfaction before turning to gaze at Chris and ask, "Chris Ainsworth, do you have any doubts about representative Dalton Wyatt's card creation?" 

After going through the card info of the card created by his opponent, Chris was shell-shocked. He could not believe his eyes. Similar to the crowd he too immediately jumped to the conclusion that the silver milk fraudster had somehow cheated without even waiting for his opponent to explain and demonstrate his card. 

Chris did not doubt in his mind that his opponent had cheated because, unlike the audience who were making baseless accusations without having any or little knowledge about card creation, he had the ancient card creation knowledge of his ancestors which told him that even the excellent diamond-grade card creationist among his ancestors could not create a card similar to the one his opponent had created using the same set of the mortal grade ingredient his rival had used that was without the restrictions of the time that his opponent had due to the challenge. 

Chris knew that for a card creationist to create such a card despite being limited by the ingredients and time would require a card creationist to have the perfect understanding of the soul pathway arrangements of the ingredients at their disposal. Which was just godly and impossible for a card creationist to achieve. 

Even if the card creationist knew the soul pathway arrangements of the ingredients by heart then how did they know the most efficient combination of the soul pathways of the various abilities of the ingredients that would add to form a card with near-perfect card durability and low card ratings? Now that was ungodly. Not to forget the time it would take to achieve something similar to that especially when the soul pathways of one of the ingredients were damaged and degraded. 

Having concluded that his opponent had cheated, Chris then began to wonder how did his opponent cheat with so many witnesses present. Was it because of the card soldier's ability to cheat the reason why the Southern emperor sent out a silver milk fraudster to face him in his challenge to the Southern card creationist association?

"Yes, I do have doubts about my opponent's card creation process," Chris carefully considers every wild speculation made by the audience regarding how his opponent could have cheated and surprisingly most of them made sense. 

Listening to Chris Ainsworth voice out the blatant cheating of his opponent the audience nodded. Because if the victim did not want justice to be served then wouldn't they be stupid to risk falling out with the Southern card creationist association because of unnecessary meddling. 

"Okay, Chris Ainsworth your doubts are noted. To satisfy them I will pull up the footage of Dalton Wyatt's card creation process which was recorded by the auction hall's recording array formation," the referee acknowledge Chris's concern and then turned to the other contender and said, "Dalton Wyatt, please let go of the controls of the auction hall's display array formation." 

"Thank you," quickly taking control of the auction hall's display array formation the referee then accessed the footage recorded by the auction hall's recording array formation and began to play it on the big hologram screens on each corner of the auction hall. 

Soon the recording of the representative of the Southern card creationist association's card creation process from scratch began to play on the big hologram screens of the auction hall. The audience and Chris closely watched the recordings for any discrepancies that would prove that the silver milk fraudster had indeed cheated as they claimed. 

The recording started with the boy blankly staring at the set of random-grade ingredients for a few minutes before he immediately placed the ingredients on his grimoire's card creation place before turning the Bloody veins and Nyon rope into a mass of energy transferring them into the common core. 

The recording focused deep into the common core where three masses of energy were present each representing the Bloody Vein, Nyon Rope, and the common core respectively. 

These masses of energy were actually the soul pathways of the ingredients, also termed as soul. The array formation could only display the soul pathways and soul pathway arrangements of the ingredients inside the common core as a mass of soul energy. Hence this mass of soul energy was referred to as the soul of the ingredients. 

Soon the audience and viewers witnessed the boy's mental strength cut up the soul belonging to a bloody vein while simultaneously repairing the degraded soul of the Nyon rope. This came as a huge shock to everyone watching. 

Similar to how a person could only do one thing at a time with both their hands a card creationist could only use their mental strength to do one thing at once. Hence the surprise of the crowd seeing the boy's mental strength attend to two tasks at a time.
