This is a world where Soul Card Masters manipulate Soul Cards to battle. Originally, everyone honestly combined decks and performed advanced summons based on card abilities, until Yu Cang awakened ...
Chapter 243: Princess of the Distant Starry Sky - Spirit State
Next, the princess briefly introduced the conditions for opening the Star Armory.
Simply put, one must first master the spirit particle flow and reach a very high level, and then use the spirit particle flow to go to a deep area in the starry sky vision field, where the empire's star arsenal is hidden.
The starry sky field of vision is not flat. Some places cannot be reached by simple star sensing alone.
Yu Cang: "How can you guarantee that you didn't lie to me?"
"This kind of thing is easy to verify," the princess said. "When you reach the Star Realm, you can easily find information within the Starry Sky Vision that can corroborate my claims. Now, the Star Gods are also sufficient to prove that what I said is true."
Yu Cang looked towards the Star God's will.
A voice entered my mind: "I am not a Star God... My purpose here is to guard the ruins, select talents, and protect them—until now, when you summoned me, I was finally able to gain a moment of freedom. I don't remember much, but judging by my duties, some of Stardust's words may be trustworthy."
Yu Cang nodded to indicate that he understood.
"I can't trust you completely yet, so let me add some insurance."
The princess was stunned: "What insurance?"
"It's very simple." Yu Cang reached out and took out a blank soul card. "Just don't refuse."
Just now, the extraction in the ruins has been completed, and four entries have been obtained, namely:
Legendary Items: [Race: God], Epic Item: [Spirit Son], Rare Item: [Perpetual], Common Item: [Guardian]
Just now, to summon the Emperor's Son, the Will of the Star God, only one [Race: God] was used, and then the Will of the Star God appeared.
Logically speaking, it is impossible to create a soul card with complex abilities like the Star God's Will with just a legendary entry and a blank soul card, but this time it was obviously an accident.
Yu Cang was confused about the situation at first, but after a brief communication with the Star God's will, he understood.
This guy has been staying in this place for too long and is bored to death.
It would be fine if people had come here frequently in the past ten thousand years, but the princess did not wake up until someone entered the Starry Sky Vision Area. It was not until about a hundred years ago that this place saw the light of day again in the hands of Ye Yan. During this period, the Star God's will did not even have anyone to interact with, which was indeed difficult.
However, this was the duty of the Star God's will after all, so he had no complaints - even if he had complaints, he couldn't leave this place due to the constraints of the nearby "rules", and he couldn't even commit suicide.
Now she has met Yu Cang, who just happens to meet the princess's requirements and even has the ability to directly summon the will of the star god from the constraints of the nearby rules!
This undoubtedly excited the Star God's will to the extreme.
finally!
During the time he was a colossus in the ruins, he couldn't even talk to people... It was just that the will of the Star God was good at endurance. If it were someone else, they would have gone crazy long ago.
Therefore, the Star God's will had no hesitation at all. Yu Cang had satisfied the princess's request, proving that his first and second duties had been fulfilled. Responding to Yu Cang's call would also better protect him. What was there to hesitate about?
The second time he heard Yu Cang's call, he descended from the sky with sparks and lightning. He also took away some of his authority here and helped Yu Cang improve the ability of his soul card.
Therefore, Yu Cang was able to create this card using only one entry.
To put it bluntly, this entry only serves as a summoning function, and the rest is all created by the will of the star god himself.
He brought his entire fortune to seek refuge with Yu Cang, and found his own shelter and food in the Starry Sky Vision Area without asking for anything in return. It was truly very touching.
This made him realize something - when he implanted the entry, he would summon the surrounding souls. At this time, the more reasonable the formula, the higher the chance of successful summoning. Perhaps, as long as the most correct entry formula was found, he could force a summoning with a 100% probability.
Furthermore, when the summoned one's will was extremely strong, even if the formula wasn't perfect, the success rate of the implant could still be guaranteed. However, other souls didn't possess the authority of the Star God's will, or possess a complete rhythmic body like Feng, so they didn't have the ability to modify their own soul cards...
At this time, if the entry is not suitable, it is very likely that a useless soul card will be produced.
No matter what, it is certain that the implanted entries have the effect of summoning - other soul card masters need to make various totems and meet various requirements if they want to summon spirits in nature, but he only needs to think about it, which is really quite convenient.
Therefore - the princess before him could naturally be summoned.
Moreover, it seems that there is an entry in my own entry library that is suitable for the princess!
Looking at Yu Cang's expression, the princess seemed to realize something. She frowned slightly, "You want to summon me? Do you want to treat me as... the same as these summoned creatures?"
"You can understand it this way." Yu Cang nodded. "Since you said that I am the one chosen by the Star God, then I summon you into the Soul Card, which will also make it easier for me to learn the Spirit Flow and open the Star Armory more quickly, right?"
Of course, the most important thing is.
Yu Cang was very envious of the princess's ability to blur information that she had just displayed.
This ability seems to be very useful, and after understanding the principle of this ability, Yu Cang thought of more possibilities that are worth verifying.
Moreover, the Star God Will had just been created by him, lacking many rules, and its existence in the mortal world was almost exhausted. By the time the Star God Will returned to the Starry Sky Vision, he would have no means to counter the princess.
Although there are many guardians of the country outside, it seems that he will have to come to the princess to learn frequently, and Yu Cang is worried that some problems may arise.
Moreover, the Starry Sky Vision was in the Divine Capital. If he wanted to learn the so-called Spirit Flow, he would have to run back and forth to the Divine Capital, which would be a bit troublesome.
On the side, Gu Jieshuang glanced at Yu Cang.
Then he curled his lips.
But in the end, she just snorted and said nothing.
"...I'm in the ruins, and you can still learn." The princess shook her head. "I'm sorry, but I must deny your request. I'm the princess of the empire. My every move represents the face of the empire. I can't be someone else's vassal."
"Really?" Yu Cang's face showed an inexplicable smile, "I have to remind you that what you said now is just one person's opinion. I may believe you, but the people behind me and the country may not be willing to let me learn an unknown ability -
"After all, judging by the current situation, Yan Country can completely rely on its own strength to fight against Huang and gradually grow in the process. There is no need to take risks and try other things. After all, with my talent, fully studying the Soul Card system is definitely the safest thing to do."
The princess' eyes widened slightly, and then she bit her lip lightly, lost in thought.
He... seems to have a point... People like Yu Cang are definitely favored by heaven in their own country. Even if such a person is willing to learn this unknown ability, his elders will not agree...
After all, I currently lack the means to prove myself, and I have no way of proving that there is anything wrong with my cultivation system.
"I...then I can find someone else..." The princess said hesitantly.
"Oh? Looking for someone else? Who?" Yu Cang crossed his arms. "Judging from the current situation... your Spirit Flow has ridiculously high talent requirements. With all due respect, it's already difficult to find someone who can enter the Starry Sky Vision Domain, and the Spirit Flow's requirements are even higher. Wouldn't such a person be someone who needs protection no matter where they are?
"I have some status in Yan Country. If you don't want to be my soul card, then you will have to pay more to gain the trust of others behind me. By then, let alone maintaining the face of the empire, you may even need to beg others to learn from you like a puppy~"
The princess's eyes were now panicked.
She hurriedly looked at Zhong Qi, hoping that he could give her a guarantee - at least she still had Zhong Qi as a backup!
However, Zhong Qi, who was huddled in the corner, whistled and shifted his gaze elsewhere.
Please, big sister.
Can't you see the giant hole in the wall next to me?
Don’t look at me, hey, do you think I dare to say anything now?
The princess's eyes suddenly became filled with despair, and the distance and arrogance on her face, which were not obvious to begin with, were about to burst.
Looking at the princess like this, Yu Cang couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. He opened his mouth softly and said:
"Well... Stardust·Universe·Eyutianora—you don't want your brother's wish to go unfulfilled, do you?"
These words seemed to possess immense power, transforming into a sharp arrow that pierced through the last line of defense in the princess' heart. She suddenly fell into the palm of the Star God's will, her eyes trembling, and the brilliance in them quickly dissipated.
Seeing her reaction, Yu Cang nodded with satisfaction.
Hmm... Although I said something strange, the effect was surprisingly significant.
Moreover, why do I feel so good for no apparent reason?
Having said that, this princess... is a little too gullible.
There are still many loopholes in his words, and the crisis of wild beasts is right in front of him. The princess holds an unknown power to turn the situation around. No matter how unable she is to prove herself, she is always qualified to negotiate.
But she... accepted without a doubt that she would end up being a loser.
Gu Jieshuang, who was standing next to him, couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she came over and gently twisted Yu Cang's waist.
"Hiss..." Yu Cang's attention was all on the princess. He was suddenly attacked and almost couldn't hold back his expression.
He saw Gu Jieshuang's increasingly dangerous look out of the corner of his eye, and he realized that he couldn't go on like this.
So he coughed lightly.
"So, tell me now—will you accept my call?"
Hearing this, the princess's eyes fluctuated slightly.
At this moment, she didn't know what she was thinking, what she accepted, or what decision she made. In short, in an instant, her eyes became determined, as if carrying a kind of determination to sacrifice everything.
"I...I just accept it..."
…
Outside the ruins.
Yun Yan and Qu Shao, who had already flown not far from the giant cave, stopped.
Just now, after the meteorite created a huge hole, they were able to enter along the hole.
But when they wanted to find Ye Lai to confirm Yu Cang's current situation, they found that he had already gone in - fortunately, Qi'er told them that this was Yu Cang's doing, and he now has control of the situation and is very safe.
Therefore, they first collected data and confirmed that the residual lightning energy near the action was not dangerous before preparing to enter the sphere to meet Yu Cang.
But... I just arrived near the giant cave and I seemed to hear some extraordinary words.
The two looked at each other for a moment.
"Um...should we go in now?"
"I think... it's not the right time yet."
"That's right. Yu Cang is safe anyway, so there's no need to rush."
"Let's go collect some more data."
"Let's go together..."
…
Term implantation: [Seal] + [Realm of Consciousness] + [Spirit] + [Escape] + [Race: Consciousness] + [Sealed]!
This time, Yu Cang directly implanted two legends and two epics!
The princess has already promised that she would respond to the call, so this time the entry implantation can be considered almost 100% successful, which makes Yu Cang bolder.
However, due to the issue of ability compatibility, not too many entries were implanted. If all the miscellaneous entries were added at once, even if the princess responded to him, it might fail.
After all, the princess's strength is not strong enough to be compatible with all entries.
Buzz!
The princess's body suddenly shattered and turned into points of light, all of which flowed into the soul card in Yu Cang's hand. At the same time, a lot of information also appeared on the soul card.
When all the spiritual particles flowed into the soul card, a heirloom soul card appeared in Yu Cang's hands.
On the side, Gu Jieshuang's face showed surprise.
That princess... is a legend?
I can't feel the oppressive feeling of the legend at all...
Gu Jieshuang had a good idea.
The red card face, representing the legendary grade, did not last long before a crisp sound was heard on it. Then, the red color on the card face shattered in an instant, turning into soul card fragments that dissipated into the air, revealing the purple underneath.
This purple color did not last long. A weaker shattering sound was immediately heard, and the purple color shattered into pieces, revealing the yellow underneath.
Well... after two consecutive jumps, the princess's quality was directly reduced to rare.
Yu Cang looked at the introduction of the soul card in his hand, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Sure enough! It’s what I want!
Soul Card Name: Princess of the Distant Starry Sky - Spirit State
Category: Summon Card
Quality: Heirloom
Attribute: Light
Race: Consciousness
ability:
[Spirit Flow·Refill]: This Soul Card can store specific [Spirit] from the Starry Sky Vision, and change the quality of the Soul Card based on the number of stored Spirits.
[Spirit Flow: Blind]: After activation, select any ability of any Soul Card and invalidate it. This consumes the corresponding Spirit Flow.
[Spirit Flow Array]: After activation, select any card box and consume the corresponding Spirit Flow to blur the information of the Soul Cards in it, making it impossible to directly retrieve them. The user must first consume Soul Energy to draw the top Soul Card of the deck into their hand before further use.
[Spirit Flow·Infinity]: After activation, any Soul Card in the same deck, when the Soul Card is affected by other abilities or sensed by other beings, can consume the corresponding [Spirit] to make it invalid.
This ability not only perfectly meets his expectations, but even exceeds them!
It's simply a fake card.
The princess has a total of four abilities, from high to low, corresponding to common to legendary. Now the princess is of rare quality, and can only use the two abilities of filling and blinding.
But even so, it is already very powerful.
[Spirit Flow·Blindness] can directly and forcibly invalidate an effect!
Yu Cang felt it for a moment and realized that even a rare princess could still have an epic or even legendary impact when she activated her abilities!
Perhaps, this has something to do with the princess's original quality being passed down from generation to generation.
Of course, there are definitely limitations - this ability is actually closely related to the number of [Spirit Particles].
With the number of [Spirit Particles] when it is activated as a rare card, you can completely negate the ability of a rare card and still have a surplus, but if you want to negate an epic card, you can only negate one of its abilities.
There is no way, the quantity is not enough.
But even so, this effect is still very powerful, and it is flexible enough - Yu Cang can choose to precisely invalidate certain abilities of certain soul cards. It can be said that in subsequent battles, as long as Yu Cang understands the deck, he can be declared unbeatable.
I have precisely invalidated your core abilities, how can you still play?
Especially for a deck like Xing Su's Skeleton Lich that is extremely dependent on a certain soul card, it has no chance of winning at all.
The epic ability the princess gained made her disgusting to the extreme.
The Soul Card Master can retrieve Soul Cards directly from the deck and activate them. As long as the number of Soul Cards in the deck is appropriate, the retrieval speed can be regarded as zero delay. But now... I force you to draw cards, and you can only draw the top ones. What do you say?
Moreover, in this way, each soul card is equivalent to consuming additional soul energy. Although it is not much, it is still quite disgusting.
Yu Cang made a quick calculation and concluded that a practiced Soul Card Master should be able to draw the entire deck into his hand in a short period of time and then ignore this ability... But this means that in the next battle, he must fight with all the Soul Cards in his hand.
This is equivalent to forcibly changing your fighting habits. In a fierce battle, this little bit of unfamiliarity may change the situation.
Moreover... once this ability is activated, the melee soul card master can already surrender.
I already have the equipment soul card in my hand, so how can I use my hands to take the drawn card?
Needless to say, the last one [Spirit Flow·Infinity] is quite practical with its stealth and precise escort.
Overall, Princess will be a very useful card.
"Not bad." Yu Cang nodded in affirmation.
At this time, countless light spots flew out from the card surface, forming a miniature version of the princess in front of the card surface. Some light spots automatically attached themselves to the soul card itself, carrying the soul card and flew in front of Yu Cang.
"I'm already your soul card." The princess bit her lip, her eyes looking as if she had suffered great injustice. "Then, you will do what you promised me, right?"
"...Don't look at me like that." Yu Cang grabbed the small hand that was about to reach for his waist. "I, Yu Cang, am naturally not a person who goes back on my word... Besides, the Soul Card is just a means of insurance. We are equals. Except in battle when I will give direct orders, I will not force you to do anything you don't want to do."
Hearing this, the princess' expression relaxed slightly: "I understand... On behalf of the empire, thank you."
"You can still use the teleportation privileges here, right?"
"That's right."
"Okay then." Yu Cang nodded, "Star God Will, you can go back first."
His duration has reached its limit.
The Star God's will nodded slightly, and then the faint light in his eyes slowly disappeared. Immediately afterwards, his body began to fade and turned into countless lines, gradually disappearing in the air.
As he left, something incredible happened.
On the side, the huge hole that was directly connected to the outside world was actually healing slowly!
The red thunder disappeared, and the burn marks on the ground quickly cooled down. Almost in the blink of an eye, the huge hole had shrunk together, and there was no sign of anything unusual from the outside!
When the will of the Star God leaves, it will take away all the harm, destruction and death it has caused. This is God's mercy.
On the side, Zhong Qi was stunned and could not believe what he saw.
He stood up, ran to the wall, touched here and there, and then rubbed his eyes hard.
“This, this…”
Frog fun, it must be fake.
How could such a big hole disappear?
What? Is this an illusion? When...
…
Outside.
"Ah, speaking of which, the scenery inside these ruins is really nice..." Yun Yan looked into the distance and clicked his tongue.
Now that they had confirmed Yu Cang's safety and that they seemed to have physically cracked the ruins, they could finally take a break.
I've been bending over to look at the data for so long that my back and waist are aching.
"Yeah." Qu Shao pounded his old waist. "Young people nowadays... are really energetic. I heard that the consciousness in these ruins... is a princess from the star realm?"
"Yeah...tsk." Yun Yan smiled, "Our Xiao Cang is really charming."
"Hmph, do you think everyone is like you, old and ugly?" Qu Shao said disdainfully, "From the look of your face, I think your kidneys have been failing for a long time, haven't they?"
"Nonsense, I'm in good health."
"Don't pretend, I've learned that... Oh, and I heard that people with kidney deficiency are prone to hallucinations. Look at you..."
Having said this, Qu Shao suddenly paused.
His pupils suddenly shrank together.
In his sight, the exaggerated huge hole on his head that Xiao Cang had just punched out... was disappearing?
Huh? That's not right.
Wasn’t there such a big hole just now!
Could it be... that I stayed up too late and was hallucinating?
Qu Shao swallowed and pretended to be calm.
"You... let me test you." Qu Shao raised his head and pointed at the top of his head, "Do you see anything?"
"Tsk..." Yun Yan raised his head, his expression normal, "What can I see? It's just the hole Xiao Cang smashed out, what else could it be?"
"Oh? Really?"
"Of course it's true... Why, you didn't see it?"
"...Of course not. All I saw was a hole."
"Hahahaha... Don't tell me you have kidney deficiency and are hallucinating?"
"Humph, just say you have kidney deficiency, don't make excuses."
"What excuse is there? There's just a hole on the top of your head."
"certainly……"
Above their heads.
The giant ball has completely recovered, and there is no trace of the huge hole just now.
