Chapter 246 The strongest soul card master, Ning Xingyi!

In Jieying's eyes, the princess's condition at this time was very strange.

Her body was formed by countless light spots, like a ghost. And around her, in places that ordinary people could not see, Jieying could clearly see that those light spots extended all the way into the starry sky field of vision, forming a huge shadow behind the princess!

These shadows have a texture similar to the particles that make up the princess, but have distinct colors.

Most of the shadows were in a dark black state, motionless in the starry sky field of view, like some stubborn stones. Only a small part of them was composed of constantly trembling "light spots". They looked a little restless, but as a whole, they were bound around the princess by some kind of will.

Wherever those active spots of light passed, the surrounding rhythm was attracted by an unknown force and kept twisting around it, as if the lights were drawing power from it.

Occasionally, the brightness of some light spots would reach its limit, and then they would appear from the starry sky vision into the real world and merge into the princess's body.

Amidst these vibrant points of light, Jieying sensed an aura very similar to the mist from earlier... Based on common sense, the mist from earlier was most likely created by this figure...

Damn it, I’ve been cursing in heaven all day... Who knew that this guy would be conquered by the scholar!

Jieying's little eyes began to well up with tears again.

I have no way to deal with this girl's fog, which means that I can't beat her at all... Then, if she does something else, I will be completely squeezed out!

Add to that the Star God's will just now...

This will be the biggest crisis to his status since he joined the scholar's team!

"Jieying." Yu Cang said, "This is Xingchen, the master of this ruins. Later, she will take you to find the higher rhythm here, and you can absorb it."

The princess bowed gently, her manners appropriate: "Hello, Jieying."

Jieying nodded silently.

He actually let this person lead him. What did the scholar mean? Could it be that this newcomer Xingchen had directly become his leader?

He suddenly didn't want to eat the rhythm given by Stardust... But, he had to rely on it to survive after all, and the scholar brought him here to find the rhythm. If he refused it like this, wouldn't it seem hypocritical?

Taking a deep breath, Jieying could only accept this "beggar's food" with great humiliation.

"Scholar!" Jieying said with a serious face, "I've figured it out... I can't always rely on your protection. I too must undergo trials and tribulations, and I must fight! Scholar, please allow me to join the battle!"

...?

Yu Cang looked at Jieying with strange eyes.

What’s going on… What’s irritating you? Is this what you should say?

Also, how did you manage to sound fearless while looking terrified at the same time?

You're not prepared at all.

Who threatened you?

"...Jieying, are you having any problems?"

"No." Jieying shook his head. "How could I encounter any problems under the command of the scholar? I just suddenly realized that my previous self was too decadent and completely unworthy of being a saint's subordinate. I want to change, I want to become stronger!"

"Hmm..." Yu Cang thought carefully for a moment, then nodded slowly, "It seems... that's the case."

Jieying:?

What? So you just admitted it directly?

So, in the eyes of the scholar, is Jieying really decadent and unworthy of being his subordinate?

...Wow, luckily I discovered it early, otherwise I might have lost all my love and still be smiling foolishly!

"I understand." Yu Cang said, "You go and absorb the rhythm with Xingchen first. I'll find a way to fight."

On the side, Xingchen was covering his mouth and laughing.

She knew much more about the Star Sky Vision and the Beast Consciousness race than Yu Cang did. She could clearly see what kind of mental journey this Jieying was going through.

In fact, when she saw Jieying like this, she felt a little relieved.

Judging from the attitude of his "colleague" Jieying towards Cang, Yu Cang is quite good to his subordinates... At least he doesn't have to worry about his future master being a black-hearted boss.

Seeing him lost in thought, Xingchen spoke up, "Yu Cang, there's really no need to overthink it. Jieying is so young, yet he possesses such a massive body. His talent is truly top-notch among all the beast-sense creatures. As long as a beast-sense creature like him overcomes its inner fear, it will soon possess impressive combat prowess."

"Really?" Yu Cang looked at the princess.

It sounds like... Jieying is actually a genius.

He had never seen the second beast before, so he had no idea what it meant. However, he had his own thoughts on what the princess said.

"For battles in the Starry Sky Vision, this is naturally all that matters—but what I want is for Jieying to participate in the battles in the real world."

"The present world?" The princess was stunned. "This... is impossible. If Jieying is a consciousness insect, then it can participate in the battle by affecting memories, but consciousness beasts can only fight in the starry sky vision field and have no ability to affect the present world."

"Oh?" Yu Cang glanced sideways, "No idea at all?"

"Of course," the princess said, "Everything within the Starry Sky Vision is illusory. The Realm Shadow, in its essence, is nothing more than a form of 'data life.' How could it possibly influence the real world?"

"But... can't your spirit particle flow also descend from the Star Sky Vision? And with the Star God Will, it can travel back and forth freely, without any problem at all."

"It's different—the Star God's will returns to the Star Sky Vision in the form of soul card patterns, not physical entities. As for our spirit particles—it is precisely because we have studied spirit particle technology for tens of thousands of years that I can assert that the world shadow cannot affect the present world."

The princess shook her head. "Spirit particle technology has already taken the Starry Sky Vision to its extreme. The spirit particles created from the bodies of the Sense Bugs are the first and only thing that allows the Starry Sky Vision to affect the real world. In fact, even the Empire hasn't achieved a technological breakthrough in spirit particle flow in two thousand years."

The princess spoke very calmly. Although her words were absolute, she did not sound arrogant at all. It was as if she was just stating an ordinary fact.

"Really?" Yu Cang smiled softly, "If that's the case... then why don't we make a bet."

"Hmm? What's the bet?"

"If I find a way to summon the World Shadow into the real world, I win."

"...Then you're doomed to fail." Xingchen smiled helplessly. "If countless scientists in the empire can't do it, even if someone can, it can't be you—you're still young, and your knowledge reserves are far from enough."

But Yu Cang was very confident: "Just tell me whether you want to gamble or not."

"No bet." The princess shook her head. "What's bound to happen can't be called a bet. Even if I win, I'm just bullying you by relying on my knowledge."

"Alright then." Yu Cang tutted his words and didn't force it. "Since you're so confident... then let's wait and see."

Yu Cang's confidence is naturally not groundless.

When he first saw Jieying, Yu Cang was already thinking about how to make Jieying descend, but he didn't have much of an idea at that time. But now after seeing the Star God's will and the spirit particle - he has had inspiration, coupled with some inspiration from his previous life, he actually has a plan in mind.

A brand new summoning method has the opportunity to be born.

The princess's confidence may indeed come from her erudition, but the Soul Card system is something that has never appeared in this starry sky. It contains brand new possibilities that are beyond the princess's cognition.

"Hmm?" Seeing his look, the princess felt a little shaken.

Yu Cang doesn't look like the kind of person who talks nonsense... Is there really something going on?

"...Okay, then I'll keep my anticipation—don't feel pressured. Even if you fail, I won't laugh at you." The princess' tone was quite sincere. "Then I'll take Jieying to absorb the rhythm first."

"Well, go ahead."

The princess left.

Behind him, the surprise in Gu Jieshuang's eyes faded slightly.

This is... Jieying.

Although she had seen it outside when she had mastered the synchronization technique, the boundary shadow was too far away from the ground at that time, so she could not see it clearly.

Seeing Jieying up close at this moment, she finally experienced the shock and magnificence of this behemoth.

"He is... Jieying?"

"Yes... it's bad. I forgot that you can see it now. I should have introduced you to Jieying earlier." Yu Cang finally reacted.

"It's okay, there's no rush." ​​Gu Jieshuang smiled gently and said, "Now, I can see the world through your eyes. We have plenty of time."

…

Among the ruins

Two figures walked out of the dense forest. Yun Yan seemed to notice something. He turned around and immediately smiled.

"Qiu Zhenguo, Zuo Zhenguo, you are here."

"Yeah." Qiu Zhong stepped forward, "Yun Yan, what's the situation now... Didn't Yu Cang already open a hole just now? Why is it gone now?"

"That... I don't know either." Yun Yan's smile froze slightly, and he showed difficulty. "Now I can't find any trace of that hole... It's as if everything before was an illusion..."

This was the first time he had encountered such a bizarre thing in his entire life.

No matter which system it is, repair is much more difficult than destruction. The hole just now almost melted through half of the giant sphere. Even if it was repaired by some ability now, how could it be possible that there would be no trace left?

It's as if... time has gone backwards.

"Old Qiu." Zuo Yuhe stepped forward, his face serious. "The rules that protect the ruins from destruction... seem to have disappeared."

"Hmm..." Qiu Chong seemed to be thinking about something.

When the meteorite fell, he was really scared to death, and it was only because it carried Yu Cang's breath that he was able to keep a straight face.

In his perception, at that moment, those strange rules around the ruins that even the country was helpless to deal with were actually... slowly condensing into the meteorite?

After the meteorite fell, those rules not only failed to play any protective role, but instead all condensed into the meteorite, helping it to blow a hole in the ruins.

Including the subsequent restoration...it should have been produced under the influence of that rule.

They already had some guesses in their minds, but after all, they had not seen Yu Cang, so they could not be sure.

Qiu Zhong wanted to say something when a voice suddenly sounded beside him.

"Those rules were all summoned away by that young kid." An old man in training clothes suddenly appeared among the group and said with a smile, "They can use the rules for their own benefit. The young people nowadays really can't be underestimated..."

Several people's eyes narrowed at the same time, and their hands subconsciously placed on the card box, but after seeing the old man's face clearly, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiu Zhong's back was already covered in cold sweat, but when he saw it was Old Ning, he was not surprised.

Ning Xingyi - the holder of Emperor Wu's Sword, may even be the strongest person under the current mythology of Yan State!

You know, Qiu Chong, as a national guardian, is an existence at the same level as Ning Xingyi, but even he did not notice Ning Lao approaching.

This point...cannot be explained by holding a myth, at least, Ren Zheng should not be able to do it.

"Mr. Ning." Zuo Yuhe bowed, "You scared me to death with this move."

"I'm old now, and my skills aren't what they used to be." Ning Xingyi still smiled, looking harmless. "The rules of Ruins No. 8 are part of Blue Star's 'Heavenly Way'... I've lived almost a lifetime, and this is the first time I've heard that the Heavenly Way can be made into a soul card."

"Ah?" Everyone was stunned.

Ning Xingyi's words shocked people to the point of shock.

Heavenly Dao? ...Does that thing really exist? It's fine if it exists, but from what Elder Ning said, Yu Cang has made this Heavenly Dao into a soul card?

For a moment, everyone felt that the world had become mysterious.

Ning Xingyi smiled and was about to explain something, but suddenly he let out a light exclamation and looked up in the direction of the giant ball.

Buzz!

A rainbow light descended from the sky, and then slowly dissipated, revealing the figures of Yu Cang, Gu Jieshuang and Zhong Qi.

…

Not far away.

Zhong Lin in the team couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"younger brother……?"

Although his beard and hair had grown longer, he certainly recognized his younger brother!

That’s great…Master Yu Cang really rescued his brother!

At this moment, Zhong Lin felt his eyes sore and his palms clenched and unclenched.

He wanted to rush out immediately to reunite with his brother and thank Yu Cang properly. But now it was a mission period after all, so he took a deep breath and restrained his fluctuating expression.

But deep down in his heart, his gratitude towards Cang was beyond words.

God knows how he spent this month!

Initially, he was very confident. After all, the association attached great importance to this matter. Several grandmasters had come one after another... However, the result made him feel more and more uneasy.

No clue, not at all.

Zhong Lin had actually given up hope until the second guardian of the country also walked out of the ruins shaking his head.

That's the guardian of the country!

Even the guardian of the country can’t do anything… so unless Shen Hua comes in person, there’s probably no hope for my brother to be rescued.

He didn't have a prominent family background, and having a child as talented as Zhong Qi was a real honor for his family, but who would have thought that he would end up here...

In fact, when Yu Cang first arrived, he didn't have much hope in his heart.

After all, although his achievements are very fantastic, he is, after all, just a young man. Things like deciphering ruins will definitely require a higher level of knowledge.

But no matter what, Yu Cang can be regarded as his last hope... Fortunately, it now seems that it is reasonable for Master Yu Cang to obtain the Flame Emperor Medal!

After calming down, he couldn't help but feel full of emotion.

That’s great… Judging from my brother’s appearance, he should be getting along well with Yu Cang in the ruins.

…

Zhong Qi opened his eyes, his vision quickly recovered, and he finally breathed in the fragrance of soil and vegetation.

Ah! It’s the taste of nature!

Zhong Qi couldn't help but burst into tears.

Great... After being in that all-white hellhole for a month, I'm finally out!

He's almost having PTSD towards the color white!

Turning around, Zhong Qi looked at the figures in front of him.

Well...it’s my teacher Yun Yan!

I am so touched. Although Teacher Yun Yan has only been my instructor for a short time, he has been waiting here for me to come out... It's so touching!

After all, as a master, Teacher Yun must be very busy.

And when he looked at the other figures, his eyes couldn't help but widen slightly.

He knew Qu Shao, a close friend of Teacher Yun, who was originally the person in charge of Ruins No. 8, so he was not surprised to be here.

But the others...Qiu Zhenguo? Zuo Zhenguo? These were people I only saw on TV! They were my idols...

Wait, why are they all so respectful to the person in the middle?

After seeing Ning Xingyi's face clearly, Zhong Qi was stunned. For a moment, he felt deeply moved and his eyes subconsciously turned red.

Ning Xingyi!

The legend of Yan Nation! The strongest melee soul card master, and also the strongest soul card master under the myth!

Master Ning has been in retirement for many years, so why is he here today? I'm just a primary school student, so I definitely don't have the influence to alarm Master Ning... Could it be that Teacher Yun Yan personally came to invite Master Ning to rescue me?

Although in his own eyes, the teacher, as a master, is already a big boss, he also has to admit that in front of these people, the teacher's status can be said to be the lowest.

It’s hard to imagine what price the teacher paid in order to invite Ning Xingyi... The teacher must have been running around during this month.

Woo woo woo, I want to cry so much. I am the happiest student in the world!

Seeing a look of surprise on Yun Yan's face and rushing towards him, Zhong Qi, with red eyes, tried hard not to cry and smiled widely.

The teacher has given so much for me, I can't bring shame to the teacher. What a shame it is to cry like that!

"Teacher, I..." Zhong Qi walked forward and opened his arms.

"Xiao Cang, you finally came out!" Yun Yan patted Zhong Qi's shoulder rather perfunctorily and passed by. "How was it? Did you encounter any danger in there?"

"Ah?" Yu Cang was stunned. "It's not dangerous..."

"Xiao Cang?" Qiu Zhong also stepped forward and laughed, "You're out? You've made us old guys worried for a long time."

…

?

Zhong Qi's body froze in place.

Looking at those serious-looking bosses in his eyes coming up to Yu Cang with a smile, Zhong Qi's mind went blank.

Who am I? Where am I? Should I find a hole in the ground or a villa?

"Oh." Qu Shao walked forward and patted Zhong Qi on the shoulder.

There were a lot of people around Yu Cang, so he reacted a little slowly and couldn't squeeze in, so he came to comfort Zhong Qi.

"Don't think too much. These people are here to see my adoptive father... no, they are here to see Yu Cang." Looking at Zhong Qi who was still holding his arms open, Qu Shao coughed lightly, "Well... if you really want to find someone to hug, I can give you a hug."

"...Thank you." Zhong Qi was in tears.

What? It turns out he was just being overly sentimental.

…

Yu Cang was stunned when he saw Qiu Zhong, and then he reacted: "Mr. Qiu? Why are you here..."

He still has an impression of this person who was one of the judges during the major armament reform.

"Of course I have to be here - otherwise, Ren Zheng will grab my neck and question me." Qiu Zhong laughed.

Then, he stretched out his hand and gently grabbed the air.

Then a trembling sound was heard, and an invisible barrier appeared around the three people's bodies, and then it shattered with a loud bang, turning into points of light that flowed into Qiu Zhong's hands and combined into a red soul card.

Heirloom Soul Card!

After seeing this scene, Yu Cang finally understood - he was probably completing this trip under Qiu Zhong's protection.

He cupped his hands and said, "I'm really sorry to trouble Qiu Zhenguo..."

"No problem." Qiu Zhong made way. "Come, let me introduce you... This is Ning Xingyi, Ning Zhenguo. Xiao Cang, you should have heard of Old Ning, right?"

Yu Cang was stunned for a moment, and then his expression turned surprised: "Is it that Star Shift Sword Saint...?"

Ning Xingyi had guarded the border in Jiangcheng for a full sixty years in his early years. Countless legendary stories happened during that period, and Yu Cang had naturally heard of them.

"That was all just empty fame in the past..." Ning Xingyi said with a kind smile, "Yu Cang, after seeing you today, I know that you can go a lot further than I, an old man..."

"No, no." Yu Cang smiled modestly, but was secretly shocked at the same time.

He didn't know whether Ning Xingyi's reputation was just a false one or not.

But... from the moment he met this old man, a fighting spirit arose from the bottom of his heart, constantly touching Yu Cang's mind.

It’s Feng.

This was the first time he had seen such intense fighting spirit.

Feng, do you want to fight with Ning Xingyi?

Not knowing what he felt, Ning Xingyi's expression changed slightly, his smile gradually faded, and a look of surprise gradually appeared in his eyes.

This feeling...

"Yu Cang, I'm not wrong." Ning Xingyi took the initiative to reach out his hand and shook Yu Cang's. His aura changed quietly. "To be able to convince such a being... It seems that you can bring me far more surprises than these."

Yu Cang held Ning Xingyi's hand and could only smile in response.

You two.

That's enough! I'm the one between you two now!

At this moment, he only felt that he was trapped between two sharp edges. Although neither of them had the intention to hurt him, it still made his skin hurt and his hair stand on end.

Beside them, Qiu Zhong and Zuo Yuhe looked at each other in confusion.

What happened?

Why would Ning Zhenguo...want to fight against Cang?

Ning Zhenguo hasn't fought seriously for many years... Don't tell them that Yu Cang is qualified to fight Ning Xingyi?

Zundu fakedu oO?
