Having tested Blood Invasion, the card scholar moved on to check other effects of the item card, "Bloody Lasso of Prohibition, activate Vampirism," 

The end of the lasso that was rooted in the wound of the target's palm began to feed on his blood. Its red glow grew stronger the longer it fed on the target's blood. Then the card Scholar ordered, "Activate Blood Enhancement." 

Making use of the blood it sucked from the living target the lasso grew a millimeter in its radius. Showing that it can use the blood of its victims to grow in size and strength. Then the card soldier chanted, "Activate Paralysis." 

With his body paralysed the living target immediately fell to the floor but the announcer used his mental strength to cushion his fall. Lastly, the card soldier chanted while letting go of the other end of the lasso in his hand, "Activate Blood Prohibition." 

Soon, the lasso began to invade the body of the paralyzed target through his wound under his horrified eyes. It did not take long for the lasso to enter the body of the paralyzed target completely. No noticeable changes took place on the body of the target except for the blood-red rope tattoo covering him from head to toe showing that the lasso had successfully spread throughout the body of the target. 

"Deactivate paralysis," the card soldier ordered. Feeling his body once again the target jump back on his feet and began to scrutinize the blood-red rope tattoo spread across his entire body. Then he glared at the card scholar and yelled, "Take it out—" 

However, before he could finish his sentence, the card scholar chanted, "Voice Prohibition." 

Turning the target mute. With his voice suddenly vanishing the target began to panic while repeatedly touching his throat trying hard to utter a single word but not a single beep came out of his mouth. Horrified the target began to aggressively point at the card scholar with gestures as if begging him to undo the blood prohibition skill. 

"Upper limb Prohibition," the card scholar commanded mercilessly. As a result the hands of the target which he was waving in the air suddenly stopped functioning and became lifeless. The target had lost the function of his throat and hands because the rope which was spread inside his body was paralyzing the nerve cells necessary for him to make use of his throat and hands by adding its paralyzing agent to the blood that flowed to those nerve cells.

Seeing the helpless state of the target the audience and viewers were horrified wondering what if the card scholar commands the bloody lasso of prohibition to prohibit the target's heart from beating or prohibit the target's brain from functioning. Now that was a death sentence. Some even wondered if they could use the item card to torture or enslave their enemy. 

Realizing the seriousness of the situation the referee immediately intervened in the demonstration, "Young man, that's enough for card demonstration. Deactivate the card and hand it over." 

The card scholar reluctantly deactivate the item card, finally freed from the dreading effects of the Bloody Lasso of Prohibition item card the target immediately tested if his voice and hands were functioning while the card scholar hesitated to hand the card over. Only to hear the referee say, "Young man, if you like the card you can buy it from its creator. But as of now, you have to return it." 

The scholar no longer hesitated and immediately handed over the card to the referee knowing that there was no possibility in which he could keep the card for himself. 

Taking the card from the card scholar, the referee handed it back to its creator and rightful owner the representative of the Southern card creationist association saying, "Good card, you better copyright its recipe before someone creates its fake version."

"I doubt it, but I get to it when I get the time," I replied casually taking the item card from the referee. With no thoughts about applying copyright for the card recipe of the item card Bloody Lasso of Prohibition. 

I wasn't being overconfident but speaking the fact as I could not see anyone creating a similar card using a similar set of ingredients. And if someone uses a different set of ingredients to get a similar item card then it's not considered as a breach of the copyright. 

Therefore, I did not see the point in copyrighting the item card recipe. Not to mention even if I wanted to copyright the recipe of the item card I lacked the intermediate and advanced knowledge of card creation to write a standard E-rank item card recipe that could be understood by the average card creationist. 

Listening to the boy's reply the referee could not help but rise his eyebrows. Card recipes were the blood and sweat of the card creationists who created them. Copyrighting their card recipe was like an honor to all card creationists. This was the first time the referee had come across someone so dismissive of copyrighting his creation. Hence his surprise. 

The more the referee got to know the boy the more curious about him and thirsty he became to accept him as his disciple. Especially when he learned that the boy was staying at the royal guest palace No.01 for the next three months. This made him curious about the boy's relationship with the Southern Royal family. 

Yes, he did do a quick network search on the boy but it gave very little insight into the boy's relationship with the Southern Royal family but learned a lot about the silver milk fraudster. The referee cared more about the boy's relationship with the royal family because, if the boy had some hidden special status then the harder it would be for him to accept the boy as his disciple. 

"Okay, let's commence the trial."
