Chapter 151 This is your weakness!

When this result came out, even those who had expected it couldn't help but gasp.

Seize the young master?

Three thousand and five... Even if these wild beasts were left standing still, it would probably take more than ten minutes to count them one by one.

It is more than ten times higher than the second-ranked imperial capital.

In fact, the result of the Imperial Capital was not bad. You know, the third place after the Imperial Capital was Mudu, with a score of only 79... and even this number was difficult to achieve for a normal fourth-level soul card master team.

After all, there are seventy-nine epics. If Yu Cang were to kill them by himself, he might need to lay the groundwork before dealing with each epic.

The ancient capital's performance is so strong that it seems unreal.

But actually, if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. After all, there are special Soul Card Masters responsible for defense, so they don't have to worry about anything and can deliver the maximum output.

The ancient capital warriors have an unlimited supply of wild crystals, which means that there is no upper limit to their output. The only thing that determines their final performance is the speed at which the wild beasts arrive.

Although that burst of saturation shooting was very exciting, the consumption of Wild Crystals was also very huge. While the twenty-layer energy output protocol improved the firepower of individual reactive armor, it also greatly increased the energy loss. Every soldier could use up a round of Wild Crystals almost every five seconds. Under the pouring firepower, the consumption of Wild Crystals reached a terrifying number of more than 4,000.

Judging from the quantity alone, the wild crystals seem to be more expensive than they earn, and a little bit not worth it. However, in war, failure is the biggest loss, so this loss ratio is completely acceptable in everyone's eyes.

Besides, Yan Country’s income from wild crystals is completely overflowing. Lots of wild crystals are piled up in warehouses with no place to use them. If consuming these wild crystals can improve the combat effectiveness of the grassroots army, they would be overjoyed.

Small meeting room

Jiangshan seemed to be thinking about something.

Qiu Zhong narrowed his eyes for a moment before speaking, "This deck...cannot be circulated among the public."

"really."

Otherwise, the security risks it brings will be too great.

You know, as long as you are a human being, you will naturally awaken the Soul Energy Well at a certain stage in your life. It’s just that those who awaken late will never be able to become high-level Soul Card Masters in their lifetime.

But even a person with poor talent can reach the level of a third-level soul card master in middle age through hard work. This is nothing in itself. A third-level soul card master can easily defeat a wild beast after special training. Without training, he is just an ordinary person.

Just like a backflip, if you don't have professional training, even if your physical fitness reaches the standard for a backflip, you will still hesitate. Even if you force yourself to do a backflip, you will most likely fall directly to the ground.

The same applies to activating the Soul Card - actively increasing mental stress is a very dangerous thing. If you have not received professional training and cannot concentrate your mind, forcibly using the Soul Card really carries the risk of sudden death, just like there is a chance of twisting your neck when forcing a backflip.

This is exactly the meaning of the Soul Card Master School.

Originally, even if a third-level soul card master spent time training, his strength would not be too strong, so many people did not care about these things. But if there is now a deck that only needs a few soul cards to allow a third-level soul card master to have such terrifying strength - it is conceivable that the security of Yan Country will definitely be affected.

On the other hand, they also don't want the civilians and their military to snatch the stock of wild crystals - there are so many Yan people, if they all use the mechanical system, then no matter how much wild crystal stock there is, it will not be enough.

"I'll report this to the association as soon as I get back," Jiang Shan said immediately. "Before this deck is rolled out to the entire army, we need to quickly collect as much Wild Crystal as possible from the public. This may affect the price fluctuations of some other materials, so we need to prepare for this early."

As a substitute for certain materials in the card-making process, once wild crystal disappears from the market in large quantities... fluctuations are inevitable, and even many materials that were originally sufficient will become scarce.

However, these are not their responsibility, so let other departments of the association worry about them.

"Hmm... this Mechanical deck..." Qiu Zhong pondered for a moment. "After the armament overhaul, tell all the teams present not to spread the news. Also... let's ban this deck. Don't let Mechanical decks appear in those competitions out there."

Hearing this, Jiang Shan was at a loss for words. "No, Old Qiu, have you forgotten that Xiaoyu is going to participate in the college league next year? This deck is obviously Xiaoyu's trump card against Duan Feng, and you're just going to ban him like that? ... At least wait a year, right?"

"Old Jiang, stop being so playful about this. This is serious!" Qiu Zhong said, "Before the military fully develops its mechanical department, any leaked news could lead to disaster!"

"Okay, I just said it casually." Jiang Shan curled his lips.

"And banning this deck is in compliance with regulations. The Mechanic must prepare in advance if they want to exploit their advantages, and the Association has always disallowed this type of card from appearing in tournaments." Qiu Zhong sighed, "However, we absolutely cannot let Comrade Xiaoyu suffer a loss... How about this? Let's help Xiaoyu find a few more veterans at the national level and help him design a deck that can definitely defeat Duan Feng. That'll be all."

Qiu Zhong's tone was nonchalant, as if suppressing Duan Feng was just a casual act.

But that's the reality.

As they said, these old guys have seen all kinds of geniuses. Even if Duan Feng has a mythical appearance, he is just a young man now.

Age is his upper limit. The card deck that Duan Feng finally brought to the competition must have been made by people from the four major families behind him.

But sorry, when it comes to finding people, they are really not inferior.

If everyone in this small conference room leaves, which card maker in Yan Country can't be invited? ...well, except for those two myths.

Hearing this, several people nodded continuously, obviously agreeing with Qiu Zhong.

However, at this moment, Lei Wanqing on the side smiled.

"Forget it everyone, Yu Cang won't let other card makers interfere with his deck."

"Hmm?" Jiang Shan blinked. "What do you mean?"

Lei Wanqing shook his head: "You guys still underestimate Yu Cang."

So when I told you that Yu Cang produced a whole set of mechanical clans in just two weeks, you didn't take it seriously?

If you put yourself in his shoes, if he had Yu Cang's speed in making cards, he wouldn't rely on others.

And... these old guys probably don't know that the Mechanical Clan is not a so-called trump card. Have you ever seen anyone take out a trump card so blatantly?

Yu Cang’s real killer weapon is fusion!

Regarding the fusion, the Ancient Capital University had kept it a secret, with only a few laboratories conducting secret research. Therefore, it was reasonable that these old guys hadn't found any information.

Lei Wanqing had heard that this brand-new summoning method had a very high utilization rate of soul energy, and once it was used, it would definitely sweep the system. There was no doubt that Yu Cang's final competition deck would be a fusion deck.

Currently, only Yu Cang has the ability to make Fusion Soul Cards. If you replace him with another card maker, even if he is a national guardian, he will still be at a loss.

Looking at the puzzled old guys present, Lei Wanqing snorted without explaining.

Since the Ancient Capital University is still keeping it secret for the time being, it would be inappropriate for him to disclose it... Let these old guys check it out themselves. It's a pity that he can't see their surprised expressions.

"Anyway, you don't need to worry about it. No one else can interfere with Yu Cang's deck."

"Hey, old man, you only speak half of your words." Jiang Shan gritted his teeth.

Lei Wanqing just smiled and ignored it.

Seeing this, they could only suppress their curiosity.

…

hall

Towards the Imperial Capital

Hu Chen slumped on the chair, looking exhausted.

After such a long time, he was almost tired of the impotent rage.

The gap is more than ten times... Originally, their score of more than 200 should have been the best among all the others, but they were twice as far ahead of the third place!

But compared to the ancient capital, that little gap is really not enough.

Wen Yang comforted him, "It's okay, think positively... No matter how strong the ancient capital is, this event is still scored based on ranking, right?"

Not to mention ten times, even if it was a hundred times, they would still rank first or second.

It doesn't matter.

Hearing this, Hu Chen's complexion finally improved a little: "You have a point..."

Wen Yang took out a piece of paper from the side and said, "By the way, the list of participants for the targeted attack has been released. Gudu has signed up for this event."

"Really?" Hu Chen sat up, his eyes lighting up. "That's great! We didn't sign up for this project... Haha, it looks like we already have a guaranteed first place in our hands!"

"Yes." Wen Yang nodded with a smile.

But, I don’t know why.

Wen Yang always had a bad feeling in his heart.

After the list came out, a burst of sighs and gasps were heard in the hall again.

The team that ran into Gudu was naturally very uncomfortable, and those who happened to have signed up for other events also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

Well… although the other teams are also very strong and they may not be able to beat them, the pressure of being in the same group with Gudu is really too great!

Who can withstand such outstanding results?

Everything is afraid of comparison. When in a group with Gudu, no matter which team it is, it will look like a flying ball.

During the conversation, the scene within the Nightmare boundary appeared on the broadcast soul card.

…

A flash of light passed by, and Fang Pei appeared in a cave.

He first looked around cautiously, but found no danger.

This is normal, after all, the goal of this project is not to kill the enemy.

The cave was not dark. From time to time, crystals forming mineral veins were exposed on the ground, casting dots of faint light around. Unknown blue plants grew everywhere, and light spots flickered on the leaf veins.

Instead of being as eerie and terrifying as the Nightmare Border, this place is actually quite magnificent.

Fang Pei turned his gaze forward.

There, is our target this time.

I saw a complex root system extending from the stone wall of the cave, tangling together in the empty space. In the center, the roots fixed a small piece of dim light crystal there.

This piece of dim light crystal is obviously purer in color than the other crystals. Looking closely, one can see that many roots have penetrated into it, wriggling in the crystal like blood vessels.

Fang Pei's eyes were determined.

The mission this time is to launch an attack on this crystal.

The ghost light crystals are very hard, and this has been verified when promoting that project in a high-pressure environment.

In that level, they were walking on the dim light crystals the entire time, and all kinds of artillery fire were also exploding on them, but those crystals were not shattered at all, and only some debris could be seen occasionally.

The intelligence said that the wild crystal in front of him was even harder.

The roots entwined around the wild crystal are actually the body parts of a legendary wild beast called the "Hanging Star Sacred Tree".

This wild beast will dig its roots into the ghostly light crystals, absorb the light within, and at the same time greatly enhance the hardness of the ghostly light crystals.

At the same time, the properties of the Phantom Crystals were also altered to a certain extent. Now, as long as the attack intensity reached a certain level, the Phantom Crystals would change color from blue to red.

Although the one in front of him was a legendary wild beast, it was a plant-type wild beast after all. It was usually quiet and would not attack others. In addition, the intelligence mentioned that if a strong enough attack hit it, the light in the ghostly crystal would become more active, making it easier for the Holy Star Tree to absorb it.

Therefore, the Holy Star Tree must be eager for others to come and fight for this crystal.

If the firepower coverage in the previous project tested the output capability, then this project tests the "armor penetration line".

This requires you to have a fairly high attack intensity at the same time. Otherwise, simply increasing the destructive power is not actually an advantage.

Fang Pei looked at the dim light crystal in front of him, thought for a moment, flipped the soul card, and summoned a Thunder Iron Roar.

"Try it first."

Fang Pei held the cannon in his left hand and used his right arm armor to support an electronic buffer barrier. After confirming the distance, he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Whoosh—boom!

After a short sound of breaking through the air, an explosion followed. In an instant, thick smoke and flames filled most of the cave. The strong wind was separated before the buffer barrier, blowing away the light in the cave in an instant.

After a few seconds, the thick smoke slowly dissipated. Fang Pei looked at the crystal in front of him and frowned slightly.

This crystal actually only turned slightly red.

Because the crystals were originally blue, they turned slightly red at this moment, which only diluted the blue a little. If you don't look carefully, you can't even notice this change.

However, the roots around the crystals were partially destroyed in the explosion just now, but they are now growing back to their original state at a speed visible to the naked eye.

…

In the lobby

Miao capital direction

Miao Xue raised her brows.

On the side, Miao Feng's eyes were wide open.

"No way, that cannonball was so powerful, yet it only changed so little? ... Then who can make it through this level?"

"...This level is indeed difficult, but the Ancient Capital was just testing it," Miao Lei explained. "After all, the cannon's attack is explosive, and the power is very dispersed. The Ancient Capital's strongest offensive method should be that charged energy bombardment."

"Is that so..."

"However, even so, the defensive power of this Phantom Crystal is indeed a bit outrageous. The ancient capital's artillery bombardment is performing like this. I now doubt whether the team behind can make this crystal react in the slightest."

…

In the cave.

Fang Pei thought for a moment.

Next, should we directly use the charged energy bombardment?

No, if we only consider armor penetration... the highest single-target attack power should not be energy bombardment.

But...

Fang Pei flipped out a soul card, and pieces of parts appeared from the void, combining into a long and narrow sniper rifle in his hand.

The star of killing!

Fang Pei took a few steps back, found a suitable place, and set up the Star of Killing.

After aiming at the wild crystal, Fang Pei silently calculated in his mind.

Although the charged energy bombardment is very powerful, as mentioned earlier, due to the limitations of the protocol attributes, the power is not actually at its maximum. Moreover, in such a small place as the cave, if you want to use the energy bombardment, you must use the electronic buffer barrier to protect yourself. In this way, the protocol attributes on your body are useless, and the power is naturally not increased.

But it would be different if you only summoned one killing star!

Fang Pei can change all the protocol attributes of this Star of Death to "enhanced energy output". Moreover, because he only summoned this one soul card, Fang Pei's mental pressure is much less now than when he was wearing a full set of individual reactive armor.

Without the electronic energy-absorbing core and individual reactive armor, two major sources of mental stress, Fang Pei can implant more layers of protocol attributes into the Star of Penetration!

Moreover, the Star of Death itself is a firearm that excels at single-point penetration. In this level, its advantages will be maximized!

Countless swarm magazines kept connecting and leaving the side interface of the Star of Killing. The protocol attributes in the Star of Killing soared all the way, and soon broke through the original upper limit of twenty layers.

The crisp sounds of metal colliding became one after another, twenty floors, thirty floors, forty floors...eighty-seven floors!

Fang Pei groaned.

The upper limit.

If there is someone cooperating with him, perhaps he can access more protocol attributes. After all, maintaining the swarm magazine also requires mental stress.

But... a shot with the attributes of the eighty-seventh-level protocol. Now, even he himself is looking forward to what will happen after this shot!

Fang Pei's forehead was covered with sweat, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He slowly put his finger on the trigger...

Oh, I forgot to say.

The piece of ghostly glowing crystal has already merged with the surrounding roots, and it is obvious that the density of the ghostly glowing crystal is much greater than that of the surrounding roots.

Coincidentally, the Star of Death has such an effect:

[Weak Point Shooting]: When attacking a target, if there is a significant difference in hardness and density between the bullet landing point and the surrounding area, this area will be considered a weak point, and the direct damage caused by the Penetrating Star to the weak point will be doubled.

And at this moment, the Phantom Light Crystal perfectly meets the judgment of "weakness".

This hardest place is your weak point!

…

Boom!

The air made a dull bang. It was clearly a gunshot, but it made a loud noise like a cannonball!

A shock wave exploded from the muzzle of the Killing Star, and the muzzle turned red for a moment. After a delay of several seconds, it suddenly exploded into a pile of parts!

The huge recoil crushed the butt of the gun onto Fang Pei's shoulder. His face changed and he was pushed against the wall unable to resist, letting out a muffled groan.

Did you hear something breaking just now?

Fang Pei rubbed his shoulders and hissed.

It's broken...Isn't it a fracture?

Eh, that's not right. The breaking sound I just heard was quite loud. It doesn't seem like just a small fracture.

Fang Pei looked down and saw that the duel shield near his shoulder had already taken shape. It was covered with dense cracks and looked like it was about to collapse.

Oh, it's the duel shield... Wait, that's not right. This isn't the sound a duel shield makes when it breaks.

He blinked, and suddenly realized something, and he quickly looked up.

Not far away... the piece of ghost light crystal had turned scarlet at some point, and right at the edge of the ghost light crystal, a crack was spreading there, and crystal fragments were floating in the air. And in the crystal, a bullet was embedded in it, and at this moment it was slowly turning into the purest soul energy and dissolving in the crystal.

Just... ejaculate inside?

Fang Pei was also a little surprised.

After all, in previous projects, no matter how big the scene was, the ghostly light crystal had never been worn out, but now... it was actually shattered by a single shot?

…

In the small conference room.

Jiangshan stood up in an instant.

"This..." He said in an unbelievable tone, "This shot directly..."

Qiu Zhong's narrowed eyes widened involuntarily: "Being able to damage the Phantom Light Crystal... this shot is already qualified to injure the Legendary World!"

In previous projects, even if the ancient capital team performed very exaggeratedly, and even used artillery to repel the legendary, it was actually just because the legendary was too careless... It is better to say that the legendary in this place of the Nightmare Border is very careless, each one of them is very energy-saving, and will never use more than one and a half minutes of strength.

If that legendary beast had been serious, the Ancient Capital team would never have achieved such a result. To be precise, the Ancient Capital team did not cause any effective damage to the legendary beast.

But this attack... is different. This attack can penetrate the ghostly light crystal, which means it is possible for it to penetrate the legendary skull!

Suddenly, Miao Yun's expression changed: "Not good."

As she finished speaking, the situation on the broadcast screen suddenly changed!

The entire cave suddenly began to tremble, the roots on the walls kept wriggling, the soil was separated, and the earth was churning, as if everything around it had come alive!

"The Holy Star Tree has awakened!"

Buzz...

The next second, the duel shield on Fang Pei exploded, and his figure immediately disappeared into the cave.

Immediately afterwards, the broadcast screen fell into darkness in an instant.

Everyone looked at each other and suddenly fell silent.

Jiang Shan thought for a moment and said, "Now that the Weeping Star Sacred Tree has awakened... what should we do with the rest of the team?"

The Holy Star Tree is dormant most of the time and isn't aggressive towards its surroundings, but once it wakes up... apart from anything else, you definitely can't use it as a competition ground anymore!

"Alas..." Qiu Zhong frowned, seeming helpless. "Then... let's postpone this project for now. I'll go talk to the Chui Xing Sacred Tree tonight."

The Holy Star Tree is a high-ranking tree passed down from generation to generation.

Once a wild beast of this level is awakened... it will not be able to calm down for a while.

Thanks to the husbands of the Yuban girls for the tip!
