Chapter 160 I’m Just the Senior’s Assistant

"Uh." Yu Cang smiled, "Sorry, I don't have the intention to go to another city to study."

This seemed to be the second time he rejected Jiangshan's request.

"Is that so... okay." Jiang Shan could only give up in disappointment.

After that, no one asked about Yu Cang's soul card. A few people chatted with Yu Cang casually, and soon, the group returned to Yujiang.

Each company first returned to the base to solve the problem of dinner, and then set off for an auditorium somewhere in Xinjiang City.

According to the procedure, the top ten people in the major armament reform will give speeches on their achievements in the auditorium.

Seeing the group from Gu Du entering the auditorium, everyone present cast their eyes over to them, but after a quick glance, their gazes were filled with confusion.

How come... I still haven't seen the person in charge?

If you don't come tonight, that wouldn't be good.

Did he arrive early, or went straight backstage?

In the crowd, the company commander of Shendu saw Wanquan and smiled awkwardly.

Damn, this afternoon was really embarrassing.

He even shamelessly asked Wan Quan to help him delay for a while, and Captain Wan actually agreed!

He probably thought at the time that the legendary soul card in his hand was just as powerful as the one in his...

As a result, he had just summoned it and had not yet joined the battle when he was blown away by the phantom feathered bird.

On the other hand, Wan Quan not only killed all the ordinary legendary masters in seconds, but was also able to fight against the high-level legendary masters, and even killed them in the end!

This is of no use to me at all!

Judging from the speed at which Wanquan killed the Phantom Feather Bird in the end, perhaps it was because of what Wanquan said that he fought back and forth with the wild beast in the beginning, in order to give himself an opportunity to move and avoid being too embarrassed.

If I hadn't said that, Wanquan would have been able to kill that Glow-Feathered Bird from the start...

Alas, it’s a pity that I was too weak and didn’t seize the opportunity, and ended up embarrassing myself.

On the side, Yun Yan looked at the company commander with a face full of self-blame, coughed lightly a few times, and looked a little guilty.

After all, it was me who gave him the heirloom, and since he was killed instantly, I must take responsibility.

At the entrance, Wan Quan didn't care who was looking at him at all. He just wanted to find his seat quickly and sit down.

He is really too weak now.

The aftereffects of the forbidden engine are more serious than imagined.

Although it seems that he can't recover his soul energy for only a week...but in fact, at this stage, he still has to face the pain of losing his mental strength all the time.

Converting mental power into soul energy is a very simple operation, but once this operation is carried out for a long time, it will be a different story.

Just like Jiang Lou and the others who came to conduct experiments on Yu Cang, they became so weak because they had been converting soul energy all the time.

Although Wan Quan, as a sixth-level soul card master and a soldier, has a much higher tolerance for this kind of weakness, he will naturally not feel good if he has to stay in this state for a whole week.

Now Wanquan not only has to go through physical torture, but also mental one.

Fortunately, Yu Cang had made some guesses about this result in advance, so he also applied for some supplements for Wan Quan that could relieve this weakness.

Now, Lin Yunqing stays next to Wan Quan, recording his various data through the detection watch on Wan Quan's wrist.

Wan Quan was the first person to use the Forbidden Engine in combat, so the data on his body was naturally worth studying.

However... Yu Cang looked at Wan Quan who was in great pain and sighed silently.

Well, unless you encounter a critical moment, you should try to use this soul card as little as possible in the future.

The feeling of being drained for a whole week is so despairing just thinking about it.

Although theoretically, Yu Cang could use the collected emotional power to replace the consumption of soul energy, but after the battle, he took a look and found that the emotions collected in the past few days had been squandered. It can be said that if the ghost-feathered bird had been a little stronger, the weeping girl herself would have been the first to give up and exit the state of consciousness... You have to know that this battle did not last long, probably only about a minute.

At this rate of consumption, if one wanted to rely solely on the power of emotions to use the Forbidden Engine, it would probably take a long time to accumulate enough energy. After all, not every day was like the Fire Festival, with people everywhere experiencing drastic emotional fluctuations.

"Yunqing, it's almost time. I'm going backstage first."

"Okay, senior."

…

Wu Chutai sat in his seat, his face still a little pale.

Although he had come into contact with high-level legendary power in the laboratory, the feeling of watching it in person was different after all... Especially when this high-level legendary power could kill you at any time.

However, the thought that such a powerful high-level legendary being was completely crushed by a sixth-level soul card master... You know, he himself is also a sixth-level soul card master. Although he is not good at fighting, he knows very well what a sixth-level soul card master can do.

Thinking of this, Wu Chutai looked towards the ancient capital, trying to find someone who might be the person in charge of this project, but after looking around several times, he still saw the same group of people he had met at the outpost.

How could it be...had he already gone backstage?

Wu Chutai was a little confused.

At this moment, he suddenly saw Yu Cang stand up and walk towards the backstage, which made him frown slightly, and a terrible guess arose in his heart.

Could it be that... it's impossible!

As a person who resonates with light and dark attributes, Yu Cang has no possibility of making such a soul card... Moreover, he is very familiar with Yu Cang's talent. Although he is indeed a leader among his peers, he is still far from such an achievement.

He should be going backstage to deliver some materials to the person in charge...that's probably it.

At this time, a figure sat down next to him. Wu Chutai came to his senses and turned to look.

"Old Wu, long time no see." The visitor was the head of a certain military region. "Your Imperial Capital achieved good results this time."

Wu Chutai: "..."

Why are you bringing up something that is not related to the topic?

The person who came was a friend of Wu Chutai's from his youth. He was originally very surprised to see him again, but now, he was not in the mood.

Now, the results have been announced, and their Imperial Capital didn’t even get third place this time!

Originally, with the performance of the Imperial Capital, it should not have ended up in this situation, but the performance of the Ancient Capital this time was too exaggerated. It not only affected the performance of the Imperial Capital to a certain extent, but also changed the attitudes of several judges on the jury.

With the example of the Ancient Capital, the destructive power that the Imperial Capital deck prided itself on seemed a bit mediocre, coupled with the severe price...so several judges were a little unimpressed with the Imperial Capital deck, and for some other reasons, the scores given to it were all very low.

The final result was that the ancient capital ranked first, Youdu ranked second, Miaodu ranked third, the imperial capital ranked fourth, and the divine capital ranked fifth.

Strictly speaking, Miaodu's deck actually only has one soul card, so it shouldn't be ranked so high. However, with Gudu there, several judges considered the versatility of other decks. Miaodu, a useful component that can be flexibly added to other decks, was naturally favored.

Moreover, Miaodu's performance in other subjects is also good. Although there are a few subjects that are very disappointing, the overall performance is not particularly low, so he can be ranked so high.

So, to some extent, the Miao capital can be said to have benefited from the status of an ancient capital.

Miao Xue naturally figured this out as well.

She was now sitting in her seat with her arms folded across her chest and her mouth slightly pouting.

Although she was indeed happy about the good grades... she was inexplicably taken away, which still made her feel a little awkward.

It's as if she has no ability!

"Little sister, what are you thinking about?" Miao Lei said with a smile, "We got a good result of third place this time, why aren't you happy?"

"Nothing..." Miao Xue sighed, "The final jury's score must have been influenced by the ancient capital... In this way, I've inexplicably owed someone a favor..."

Miao Lei was at a loss for words: "Little sister, don't think that way. The association's scoring standards are definitely fair and impartial. There won't be any favoritism..."

"That's right." Miao Feng also looked very happy. "Little sister, when you go on stage to give your speech later, they will definitely be very surprised to see how young you are! I'm already looking forward to their expressions at that time!"

…

"Master, you seem to be looking forward to it?" Zhong Lin asked curiously.

"Of course." Yun Yan smiled softly, "I'm really looking forward to seeing the expressions on their faces when they see that the person in charge of the ancient capital is so young."

Zhong Lin blinked. "Master Yun... are you sure you remember correctly? The person who created that Mechanical Clan deck... is really just a college student?"

"Of course, I'm not so senile that I can't even remember this." Yun Yan smiled and shook his head, "He's even younger than you...Okay, enough talking. The report is about to start, so just pay attention."

…

On stage.

"Dear comrades, dear card makers, welcome to the 29th Armament Reform Report Conference..." A host in a formal military uniform walked out from backstage.

After the host finished his opening remarks as usual, he said without further ado:

"Please welcome Mr. Yu Cang, the project leader of the Ancient Capital Military Region, to explain it to us!"

Bang bang bang!

Applause rang out in the venue, and everyone's eyes were cast towards the backstage exit.

Sure enough, the project manager of Gu Du had arrived a long time ago... He must have been staying in the backstage and hadn't come out.

At this moment, curiosity was revealed in everyone's eyes.

Towards the imperial capital.

Wu Chutai was chatting casually with an old friend. When he heard applause around him, he subconsciously followed suit and clapped.

"Hahaha, if you come to the capital to play, you don't have to worry about food, drink, accommodation and transportation. They will definitely be treated by me!" Wu Chutai responded to his old friend while listening to the announcement on the stage.

After the host said the name of the person in charge of the ancient capital, he distracted himself and thought about it in his mind, but he seemed to have no memory of any old man named Yu Cang...

etc!

Wu Chutai was stunned.

What’s your name?

Yu Cang?

No way?!

Wu Chutai was so excited that he turned his head immediately and stood up suddenly. He looked at the stage in disbelief, only to see that on the PPT on the big screen, the column for the person in charge clearly read "Yu Cang"!

How could it be possible... could it be a duplicate name? But, there are two people named Yu Cang in the same project, this is too coincidental...

Wu Chutai was so shocked that he didn't pay any attention to what was happening around him.

Beside him, the old friend saw Wu Chutai stand up, smiled and shook his head.

Then--

He also stood up.

He stood up while clapping his hands. When the students next to him saw that their teacher had stood up, they couldn't just sit there idle, so they also stood up quickly and clapped even harder.

This old friend seemed to have quite a few students, and a large group of people suddenly stood up around him. Seeing this, Hu Chen, who was sitting next to Wu Chutai, hesitated for a moment.

He also stood up.

Wen Yang realized that something was wrong and didn't even try to pull it back.

Seeing that the matter was done, Wen Yang slapped his head.

have to.

He shouldn't sit down either.

So he could only sigh, pat his clothes, and stand up.

A group of people standing up here were naturally seen from other places.

People follow the crowd blindly, so——

Everyone stood up one after another.

They all had smiles on their faces, clapping and looking at the stage expectantly... You could tell that the respect in most people's eyes was genuine, and they all felt that the person who was about to appear was definitely worthy of this treatment.

Seeing that everyone in the audience stood up voluntarily, the judges sitting in the judges' seats were shocked.

Jiang Shan glanced at the person beside him: "Did you arrange this?"

Qiu Zhong: "I'm not coming."

"How about... a standing meeting?"

"...Alright."

Then several judges stood up as well.

…

Among the crowd.

Wu Chutai's face turned red with anger.

No...what are you doing!

Why are you all standing up?

Could you please stop following the crowd?

He was stunned for a moment when everyone stood up.

After realizing that the next person to appear was likely Yu Cang, he was now on pins and needles. Standing up to greet Yu Cang's appearance? What a joke!

But now everyone is standing, and he sits down alone...that's not a good idea.

In particular, after the judges also stood up, Wu Chutai's idea of ​​sitting down quietly was completely cut off.

The judges have such high status that they have all stood up. How can you have the nerve to sit there?

And you were the first one to stand up, how dare you be the first to sit back down?

But it’s uncomfortable!

The thought that he had to stand and greet a student who was expelled from the sect by him personally made him feel as disgusted as if he had eaten shit.

Damn it, why wasn’t the list of names for this major military overhaul announced in advance… He shouldn’t have come to this place today!

On the side, an old friend saw him like this and couldn't help but say:

"Hey, look at you, your face is red with excitement. I didn't expect you to be so respectful to someone." Lao Youle clapped his hands and chuckled, "By the way, I do plan to go to the imperial capital soon. I'll ask you to treat me then. Don't refuse to pay..."

“…I’m asking for a fart.”

The old friend was stunned: "Huh?"

"I say." Wu Chutai turned his head and laughed out of anger, "I'm not treating you!"

…

Yu Cang took a deep breath and slowly walked out from the backstage. The light was a little dazzling. He adjusted himself for a while, but was suddenly shocked by the scene in front of him.

What’s going on…why are you all standing up?

Is he such a big shot?

There were many military leaders in the audience, and he didn't dare let them stand to greet him.

Yu Cang walked to the front of the stage and said with a smile:

"Hello everyone, I'm Yu Cang." Yu Cang glanced around, and the people in the audience followed his gaze. His voice gradually became weaker. "I'm from Gudu University, and I'm the person in charge of this Gudu project."

! !

Yu Cang's words shocked everyone in the audience so much that they stood there in shock.

What's going on...

When they saw a young man walking up to the podium, they thought that the card maker had brought an assistant with him to report, so their eyes were still on the backstage exit.

Then what did that person on the stage say... He is the person in charge of the ancient capital?!

This, this... so young?

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

…

Towards Youdu.

Lao Bai's clapping suddenly stopped.

He was silent for a moment.

Suddenly, Lao Bai seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. He raised his hands and started slapping his face left and right, which scared Jin Zhaoshan who was standing next to him. He quickly reached out to grab Lao Bai, but Lao Bai was using too much strength and couldn't hold him back for a while.

"Old White, calm down, Old White..." Jin Zhaoshan was very anxious. "It's just that you were right again. It's not that serious, Old White. It's not that serious..."

After pulling for a long time, Lao Bai gradually calmed down...but his expression was still gritting his teeth.

"Damn it, I..."

How could this happen?

How is it that every outrageous thing someone says comes true?

……wrong.

Lao Bai's eyes were on Jin Zhaoshan.

I am not the most outrageous one.

It’s Jin Zhaoshan!

I always get the opposite part right... Jin Zhaoshan is the one who always guesses right based on his intuition!

"What...what's wrong..." Jin Zhaoshan felt a little scared when he was looked at by Lao Bai.

…

Miao capital direction

From the moment she saw Yu Cang, Miao Xue's eyes widened involuntarily.

How could it be him!

The person in charge of the ancient capital... is someone of the same age as me?

And Yu Cang...wasn't Yu Cang the young man she had seen before, the one who created the Yingcao Suit...If she remembered correctly, the paper on the Yingcao Suit should have been published not long ago. Where did this mechanical race come from...

This, this...

For a moment, the pride that Miao Xue had always had in her heart seemed to suddenly shatter at this moment.

Although the ancient capital is first and the Miao capital is third this time, it seems that there is only a difference of two places, but anyone can see how exaggerated the gap between the two is.

The Miao team was able to take third place because they could only take third place, and Gudu was able to take first place... because they could only take first place.

Not to mention, his third place was thanks to the ancient capital.

How is it possible... that there are so many people her age...

This time, Miao Xue's self-confidence was really hit.

Wait...that's not right.

Miao Xue came back to her senses.

Shouldn't Yu Cang's resonance attribute be the empty attribute?

But this whole deck has nothing to do with the Void attribute... Moreover, at the end there is a Legendary Soul Card with such exaggerated combat power. How could such a Soul Card be created by relying on the Void attribute?

Not to mention, your previous Yingcao set didn’t have empty attributes!

How could a card maker with empty attributes waste time on wood attribute soul cards!

Could it be that he is another academic parasite like Duan Feng, taking other people's achievements...

No, that's not right. How could anyone be willing to give up such an achievement of the Mechanical Clan? This is something that is worthy of being written into textbooks.

Moreover, Yu Cang is definitely the real deal. That day, she saw with her own eyes that Yu Cang rewrite her grandmother's soul card. This cannot be faked!

For a moment, Miao Xue felt a little annoyed, and she couldn't figure out the relationship between them.

"Um... little sister." Miao Lei looked at Miao Xue with some worry, "Are you okay..."

"No, I'm fine." Miao Xue waved her hand.

After calming down a little, she became even more curious about Cang.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered what her grandmother said to her that day.

It turns out that grandma knew it at that time...

After thinking for a moment, Miao Xue raised her head and looked at Yu Cang who was bathed in light on the stage again.

Well... she is such a good girl, of course she has to listen to her grandma.

…

Towards the imperial capital.

Wu Chutai's teeth were almost broken.

It really is—it really is him!

Impossible, this absolutely cannot be a deck made by Yu Cang!

Putting aside the emotional aspects, Wu Chutai was once Yu Cang's mentor after all. He knew Yu Cang's strength too well. He was strong, but definitely not this strong!

What's more, the resonance attributes don't match!

Could it be that, like Duan Feng, he found someone else's work...

Wu Chutai turned his gaze to the PPT again. It was clearly written on it that this project team consisted of only two people, the person in charge Yu Cang, and... Lin Yunqing.

So, Lin Yunqing is the one who gave Yu Cang the results, right...

He clenched his fist and suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"

The whole audience was silent.

Yu Cang turned his head and looked at him, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Ah, you are here.

Many people turned their gazes towards Wu Chutai. He paused and said, "Yu Cang... From what I understand, your resonance attributes are light and darkness, right? The attributes don't match. How did you make these soul cards?"

"Hehe...attributes." Yu Cang smiled lightly, "You're right, I do have resonances of both light and darkness. But—"

He gently raised his finger and tapped his temple.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning spread in the pupil and then filled the entire eye.

"But, I didn't tell you that I only have two attributes, light and dark, right?"

The moment Wu Chutai saw the lightning in Yu Cang's eyes, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

This...how is this possible!

3. Three attributes?

For a moment, Wu Chutai's mind went blank.

"No, I used to be your mentor. I know exactly whether you have the ability!" Wu Chutai gritted his teeth and said bluntly, "This is definitely not something you made! Who is that senior Lin Yunqing? He gave you this achievement, right? Let him show it to you!"

As soon as he said this, whispers suddenly broke out on the field.

What's going on?

Is there... a melon in here?

Some people's eyes suddenly became excited.

And just when everyone was guessing.

Lin Yunqing slowly stood up.

"You looking for me?" She stroked her glasses, a smile on her face. "I don't dare to be your senior. I'm just your assistant."

Wu Chutai: “……?!”

Thanks for the tip from Curry with Potatoes!
