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 270: Surprise! The Jokers in Poker
Looking at the power of Chaos Dragon Scale, Yu Cang found it difficult to express his feelings.
On a dragon scale, it is possible to gather the energy of both light and darkness at the same time, and even initiate two fusions?
This ability is simply beyond the standard.
Looking at the ability profile of this soul card, Yu Cang suddenly had a feeling.
This system... is a little too advanced, even surpassing Yu Cang's current strength.
With his current tolerance for mental stress, he might not be able to bring out the full potential of this system.
At this moment, Yu Cang suddenly felt a little envious of Duan Feng.
Two souls in one body, twice or even more of the mental pressure limit, it is really too abnormal. For ordinary people, it is equivalent to the "critical mass maximum" of self-destruction, but in his hands it is just an ordinary soul card.
Yu Cang now thinks that Duan Feng's Chaos Dragon Egg requires extremely high mental pressure, which led to the fact that in the early stage of the battle, Duan Feng's soul energy recovery speed was much slower, and he had no soul energy to use other soul cards.
It was for this reason that Duan Feng only used less than ten Soul Cards in that battle, and his entire deck wasn't fully operational. If he had relied on Aqiu's power from the beginning, Yu Cang might have had a much harder time, and even if he had won, he would have been somewhat embarrassed.
After all, Duan Feng's deck is designed based on double mental pressure, so it is definitely not cost-effective in normal battles.
Yu Cang now understands a little bit of Duan Feng's feelings.
However, the impact on him was not that great... He had just tried it. The [Dragonborn] resurrected by the Dragon Hunter did not take up his own mental pressure, which was somewhat similar to Xing Su's buried corpse. In this way, his endurance was guaranteed, and even if he sacrificed a little soul energy recovery, it was worth it.
With a wave of his hand, Yu Cang canceled the summoning of all soul cards.
Yu Cang was very satisfied with this soul card... or rather, it had far exceeded Yu Cang's expectations.
Not only will the system be upgraded, but the problem of the light and dark attributes of dragon scales will also be directly solved.
In this way...his deck can undergo a major upgrade.
It’s a pity that now that I have the Chaos Dragon Scales, the three “Return of Dusk” soul cards that Wang Hui gave me are no longer needed. He spent a lot of effort to get these soul cards for me, but I only used them in a few battles.
Sitting back at the small table, Yu Cang applied the developing potion on the Dragon Hunter, and then entered the Starry Sky Vision.
The soul card produced by the entry recorder is in the purest state, without any confidentiality measures or resonance locks, and is completely uncovered in Yu Cang's eyes.
As soon as Yu Cang entered the Starry Sky Vision Area, his head suddenly became bigger.
The rhythm of this soul card is ridiculously complicated!
A bunch of messy lines are tangled together, almost filling up the entire soul card without leaving any space. The rhythm of such a soul card is enough to make people feel dizzy just by looking at it.
Yu Cang rubbed his brows.
For him now, making epic soul cards can be considered to have a nearly 100% success rate, which is worthy of his Soul Card Master certification.
But even so, one has to gasp when seeing the rhythmic composition of this soul card.
"Alas." Yu Cang sighed.
It's also his fault. Before the initial entries were implanted, he added too many strange rhythms to this soul card. Now it's like this, it can only be said that it's his own fault.
Fortunately, he had the Starry Sky Vision, so he could barely find the pattern in these rhythms.
Thinking of this, Yu Cang simply put the soul card on the table, closed his eyes, and completely entered the starry sky vision.
…
While Yu Cang was immersed in his studies, the atmosphere in the Ancient Capital University gradually became lively.
Holding the World Film Summit is a big event.
A national summit like this is of great significance in itself, not to mention that it is related to the new resonance method... As the "organizer", Gudu University naturally attaches great importance to it.
After receiving the invitation, basically all the state guards who could spare some time flew to the scene in person. Those who were not available could only be teleported via the realm of consciousness.
However, at the level of Zhenguo, there are not many people who can spare the time to come, and most of them still have to meet at the Xingtian Shiyu Jieying Campus.
In the past two days, some of the people from the state have arrived at the scene one after another. Although the number is small, the presence of all the volunteers is essential. The Ancient Capital University has recruited many students to serve as volunteers. Under the temptation of certificates and extra points, these students have come forward and are happily doing some hard labor and odd jobs.
…
Wen Gu Lecture Hall
"Hey, a little more to the left, yes, yes, right there, stick it on quickly." Zhang Sansan stood on the ground, directing the students on the escalator to set up the venue.
"Sister Zhang." A student in volunteer uniform trotted over. "The mineral water is here. What's next?..."
"Well, go find some people now," Zhang Sansan said, taking a break from his busy schedule. "Tear off the wrapping paper from the bottles, put the Old Capital University logo on them, and then place a bottle on each seat."
"Okay, I'll go right away..."
"Li Si, can you go and ask if all the souvenirs have been delivered?"
…
After working for quite some time, the venue was finally almost set up.
Zhang Sansan rubbed his sore neck, found a seat in the first row, and sat down to rest for a while.
"Hey, Sister Zhang." Li Si handed over a bottle of water and asked curiously, "What do you think this... World Shadow Summit is about? What exactly is it about? Do you have any information?"
"I don't know either." Zhang Sansan unscrewed the bottle cap and took a big gulp. "I only know that the people attending this summit are all national guardians, and the scale is quite large."
"Frog fun." Li Si's eyes widened. "Guardian of the country... what a big shot he must be... Hey, can we be there to listen?"
"Hmph." Zhang Sansan snorted, seeming quite pleased with himself. "Of course you can... We volunteers work so hard for this, isn't it? Don't blame me for not reminding you, but listen carefully when the time comes. Anyone who can host a summit like this must be a big name in the industry. I just don't know which professor from our university it is."
"You'll know when the time comes." Li Si smiled.
…
Yu Cang suddenly woke up, climbed up from the table in a daze, and looked at the watch.
Ah...it's morning.
Yu Cang knocked his head.
I forgot what time I fell asleep yesterday.
but.
A smile appeared on Yu Cang's lips.
With a little recollection, the rhythm of the Dragon Hunter became clear in his mind. He had completely mastered this soul card.
Moreover, there was an unexpected gain last night.
Yu Cang looked at the soul card in his hand.
…
Soul Card Name: Source Eye Chaos Dragon
Category: Summon Card
Quality: Rare
Star level: six
Attributes: Light/Dark
Race: Dragon
ability:
[Falling Scales]: After death, six pieces of "Chaos Dragon Scales" are left at the spot.
[Homologous origin]: When used as a fusion material, it can replace any light, dark, or non-attribute dragon.
…
The sixth level, which is the virtual level between rare and epic, is a rare card that even a level five soul card master cannot summon normally.
After many failed implantation attempts, Yu Cang finally made it!
In terms of abilities, this Soul Card isn't particularly impressive. Its [Falling Scales] and [Same Origin] abilities offer no real combat bonuses, making it practically a blank card. However, the summon's stats are incredibly impressive, practically rivaling epic stats!
On the panel, this soul card can be called the ultimate in rarity.
Looking at the gorgeous dragons stirring up black and white thunder on the card, Yu Cang couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
Not only is he powerful, but Kato is also very handsome... so beautiful.
This soul card does not put much pressure on the deck, and the rhythm conflict is not obvious. It is completely possible to carry three copies, but Yu Cang has no intention of carrying a full three.
After all, if this soul card does not rely on the effect of the Saint of the Breach, it can only be summoned from a higher level, which is a bit of a hindrance.
After organizing the deck, Yu Cang stretched and stood up immediately.
The rhythm of the Dragon Hunter has been figured out. Next, all we need to do is integrate the rhythm of the Chaos Dragon Scales into all the soul cards, upgrade those Dragonborn, and add some abilities to steal tributes, then the lower-level deck will be upgraded.
Yu Cang felt extremely energetic and walked out of the room humming a little tune, but suddenly he was stunned.
Not far away, Qi'er angrily grabbed Gu Jieshuang's hand and pointed at Yu Cang fiercely:
"Sister! It's him!" Qi'er was very angry. "He stayed up late again last night! He didn't listen to me!"
Gu Jieshuang looked at Yu Cang's dark circles and raised the corners of her mouth in a beautiful arc.
"Really, boss?"
"Um..." Yu Cang quietly turned his eyes away, "Um... have you eaten? I'll go make some noodles..."
…
Gu Jieshuang and Qi'er's aggressive attacks were ultimately defeated by the fragrant rotten meat noodles.
"Don't stay up so late next time!" Gu Jieshuang was still a little angry, but her eyes were filled with heartache. "Boss, I know you're a genius. If you burn out, it will be everyone's loss!"
"Ahem." Yu Cang coughed twice. "Let's not talk about this kind of thing between us... Oh, I think a package has arrived. I'll go pick it up later."
"Express delivery?" Gu Jieshuang was puzzled. "Has the boss bought anything recently?"
"I don't know... I've never bought it, but the terminal number and address are both mine. Maybe it was sent to me by an old friend."
"Okay! Then let's go together!"
"Qi'er wants to go too!"
Brush, brush, brush...
Behind the three of them, the weeping girl was leading an army of little people and dolls, washing dishes busily in the sink.
…
Caiji Station
Yu Cang took out the express box.
"Let Qi'er take it apart!" The girl looked very excited.
"Okay, come on." Yu Cang said, "Be careful, don't cut your hands."
"Don't worry, Qi'er is very careful!"
The express box was not big, so the girl took it and ran to the trash can on the side of the road, her eyes suddenly becoming serious.
She held the knife carefully, using all her strength to control the path of the knife to be as straight as possible so as not to damage the cardboard box next to it.
Yu Cang smiled lightly.
"Boss." Gu Jieshuang looked at the school gate not far away. There, many banners had been unfurled, all of which were preparations for the Jieying Summit. "The summit is only a few days away, right?"
"Yes, the day after tomorrow." Yu Cang said.
"That's great... Will Senior Ning come too?"
"Ning Lao will attend the meeting with the common sense of the world."
"That means... other guardian states with mythical legends will also be here?"
"It should be."
Yu Cang looked to the side and saw a lot of unfamiliar vehicles on the road. Some of the state guards had arrived early, but Ren Zheng did not let them meet Yu Cang.
There are more than eighty national-level card makers in Yan State, and each of them is a legend.
Although it sounds like a lot, it is not much if it is placed on the territory of the hundred borders and twelve cities of Yan State.
Of course, in reality, there are definitely more card makers with the strength to protect the country than this number - for the same reason, the standard for a card maker to protect the country is to be able to modify mythical soul cards. It is impossible for Yan Country to have so many mythical rhythms for the exam, so in fact, there are many card makers who are strong enough but are still queuing up for the exam.
Yu Cang estimated that there were probably only about 10 to 20 people who had time to come to the ancient capital.
Swish!
As the sound of cardboard being torn was heard, Qi'er's puzzled voice came from the side.
"Hey...Brother, what is this?"
Yu Cang turned his head, but was stunned.
At this moment, Qi'er was holding a small bottle in his hand, which contained... a translucent insect.
This bug...why does it look so familiar?
Wait, this isn't...
Yu Cang was stunned. Before he could react, the little bug suddenly emitted a silver light!
Click, click, click!
The little bug turned into a soul card and flew into a slender jade hand. Then, Miao Xue slowly walked out from the silver light. Although she was dressed casually, her snow-white skin made her eyebrows and eyes full of gentle temperament.
Qi'er opened his mouth wide and Gu Jieshuang frowned tightly.
Yu Cang couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly.
That little bug...isn't it the mustard seed flying insect?
The ability of the Mustard Flying Gu is to put itself into death cooling and teleport the user here... Obviously, this is a "little surprise" that Miao Xue prepared for herself.
But what is more obvious is that this little surprise did not surprise everyone.
"Clang clang!" Miao Xue opened her hands with a beautiful smile on her face. "How is it? Didn't expect it? Long time no see, Yu Cang. How are you? After so much time, have you thought about what gift to give me in return?"
Yu Cang, Qi'er, and Gu Jieshuang: "..."
Three pairs of eyes looked at Miao Xue, and the air was deathly silent.
In such an environment, Yu Cang inexplicably felt guilty.
"Uh...eh?"
Miao Xue suddenly realized that the atmosphere at the scene seemed a little off.
She blinked and slowly put away her two white and tender arms.
She'd put a lot of effort into this reunion. Even though she was dressed casually today, she had put a lot of thought into it. The perfectly placed silver jewelry on her head, the specially crafted scent sachet, the half-exposed collarbone, and even the pose for the meeting, which she'd rehearsed several times.
Just imagine that Yu Cang opened the express box and took out a small bug, and then the small bug suddenly turned into a beautiful woman and looked at him with a smile. This would definitely bring the suspension bridge effect to its fullest!
Isn’t this exciting?
But... Yu Cang's expression was obviously different from what she had imagined.
What went wrong?
Miao Xue's eyes swept across the field one by one.
Well, this little girl should be the one who was with Yu Cang that day. I haven’t seen her for so many days, and she has become even cuter... But, why is she looking at me like that?
Yu Cang has become more handsome, but why do he have dark circles under his eyes? He must be tired from the recent summit. Humph, it seems I came at the right time!
Then the person next to her should be Lin Yunqing, she should...eh?
Yes, unfamiliar face.
Not Lin Yunqing?
Miao Xue suddenly realized something, but her mouth was faster than her brain, and she blurted out a sentence:
"Excuse me, who are you..."
Gu Jieshuang took a deep breath.
"Well, she is..." Yu Cang stretched out his hand and wanted to explain, but he felt a fragrant breeze blowing on his nose, and his arm sank, and something soft touched it.
"It's my girlfriend." Gu Jieshuang held Yu Cang's arm, with a smile on her face that seemed to warm the cold winter, but her tone seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, "It's - my girlfriend, oh~"
…
Miao Xue: 0.o
This moment.
She felt like a clown.
…
The four of them walked side by side on the road.
Gu Jieshuang seemed to have stuck to Yu Cang's arm, Qi'er was holding Yu Cang's other hand, and Miao Xue was separated by Gu Jieshuang.
Miao Xue suppressed her embarrassment.
Although I found myself accidentally becoming a clown.
However, if he just covered his face and ran away, his identity as a clown would be completely ruined!
Fortunately, she had not made her intentions clear before, so as long as she insisted that she only regarded Yu Cang as a friend and continued to be stubborn, then all this embarrassing situation would be like a mirage and never happened!
then.
Miao Xue walked along the road with the others, her toes tapping against the ground as if nothing had happened. On the side away from them, her fist was clenched with veins, but her other hand was so natural that it was almost unnoticeable.
"Oh?" Gu Jieshuang looked at Yu Cang with a smile, "So the other day, you were so anxious to make summoning cards for Sora and Suzuki...was it to 'return the favor'? Hmm?"
Gu Jieshuang pronounced the word "return gift" very carefully.
“…No…not really, it’s mainly to allow Kong and Xu to wander around the real world…” Yu Cang didn’t know how to explain for a moment.
"Really?" Miao Xue faked a smile. "Actually, there's no need... Yu Cang and I are friends, and the return gift was just a joke. It's okay if you don't give me one."
Miao Xue emphasized the pronunciation of the word "friend".
"That won't do." Gu Jieshuang shook her head. "Public affairs are public affairs, and private affairs are private affairs. I have to pay back the money I owe Yu Cang. Yu Cang, you can't be careless with this return gift. Don't make a fool of yourself."
Her mind is working very fast now.
This must be the Miao Xue that Lin Yunqing mentioned.
She is kind of pretty...but still far from it!
Humph, but even Lin Yunqing was defeated by her, so just Miao Xue, just watch her defeat her!
Yu Cang: ...
How could he respond to this? Agreeing or not, wouldn't that be a stepping stone?
"Oh, by the way, sister." Gu Jieshuang said, "I heard that you should be very busy, so how did you have time to come to our Ancient Capital University to visit Yu Cang? Come on, you didn't even call our Yu Cang in advance. I didn't even prepare anything to entertain him."
"No need for hospitality, sister." Miao Xue, despite the two-year age difference, addressed her as "sister" with a normal expression. "I'm here with grandma to attend the Jieying Summit... Oh, the one hosted by Yu Cang. With him here, this summit must be quite significant and worth my visit."
"You've worked so hard. You must be exhausted after coming all this way here... Why didn't you take a break before coming to play with our Yu Cang?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Transportation is well developed now, so it's not tiring at all."
Yu Cang: ...
...He was wrong.
He should be catching up on his sleep in bed right now, why is he here?
For the first time, he began to hate his biological clock that made him wake up on time.
Gu Jieshuang is worthy of being a melee soul card master. He engages in verbal battles, open killings and covert robberies along the way, and his moves are full of yin and yang and his words are strange, showing the demeanor of a master.
Although Miao Xue is at a disadvantage, she is also extraordinary. No matter how the situation changes... she pretends to be stupid and faces the enemy with a fake smile, responding to all changes with the same attitude.
Being able to fight with Gu Jieshuang to this extent, Yu Cang felt that perhaps this child could also comprehend the meaning of sword.
Yu Cangru was on pins and needles, but Qi'er next to him was listening with great interest.
Although I don't understand what the two sisters are saying.
But, but.
In her perception.
The changes and confrontations between these emotions are so exciting!
The girl was fascinated by what she saw and couldn't understand why a person's emotions could change so complicatedly in a short period of time.
As expected, she is my sister!
Suddenly, Yu Cang seemed to have noticed something and stopped.
A group of people appeared in front.
From his perception... it seemed like they were coming for him. Although it seemed like they had some ill intentions, at this moment, let alone ill intentions, even if it was a sudden all-out attack from the wild beasts, he would have to breathe a sigh of relief before thinking about how to fight.
When she saw the person coming, Miao Xue's expression changed quietly.
It seems... a little embarrassing.
…
"Are you Yu Cang?" The leader was a young man of medium build, lean but well-proportioned. Although thin, his eyes were bright and his muscles were well-toned.
He extended his hand, a contagious smile breaking across his tanned face. "Winner of the Flame Emperor Medal, I've long heard of your great name."
Yu Cang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stretched out his hand, but did not clench it tightly. He lightly squeezed the fingertips of the person who came and then withdrew his hand.
The young man was about to exert some force on Yu Cang's palm, but there was nothing in his palm.
Hiss... so slippery.
The young man felt a little depressed.
Shaking his head, not dwelling on it, the young man said, "Hello, my name is Chang Kong, and I'm the acting president of the Miaodu University Combat Club. Nice to meet you."
Yu Cang raised his brows: "Acting president?"
"Ah... our president is always missing. I'm ranked second in my junior year, so I just became an agent."
"So that's how it is."
"Let's not talk about that." Chang Kong grinned, "I heard you're also in the third-year combat club? ...How about a duel?"
"Chang Kong!" Miao Xue suddenly spoke, frowning, "Yu Cang is very busy, don't disturb him."
"Little teacher, we're just sparring." Chang Kong chuckled, "I always hear you mention him... I have to know how big the gap is between him and me~."
"...childish." Miao Xue clenched her fists quietly.
Yu Cang's eyes lit up.
No matter what it is, as long as it can get him out of this strange atmosphere, he will agree to any duel, no matter how strange it is!
He was about to speak when suddenly, a cold voice interrupted him.
"Duel with Yu Cang? You're not worthy." The expression on Gu Jieshuang's face gradually disappeared. "I'll fight you."
"..." Feeling Gu Jieshuang's aura, Chang Kong frowned slightly, "I don't want to waste time with ordinary people..."
"I'm also from the Battle Club."
"...Okay." Chang Kong smiled, "Then... just treat it as an appetizer."
…
Yu Cang slapped his forehead.
Why is it this expansion?
He has already seen it clearly.
It is obvious that Chang Kong likes Miao Xue a little bit...but Miao Xue's attitude is obvious.
This duel with me was probably due to jealousy.
But Gu Jieshuang fighting for me was a bit...
Yu Cang looked strange.
No, buddy.
Whether Gu Jieshuang wins or not, she is really herself... Well, girlfriend, there is nothing to say about her fighting for herself. Even if she loses, she can still find comfort in her heart.
And you?
Even if you win...
…
He actually saw two clowns in one day.
Where's the king bomb?
Thanks to Weihuohu nv for the reward!
