Chapter 290 Battle against Lv Zihe

The shield in front of Yu Cang flashed with layers of ripples, and the light on it kept fluctuating.

Countless spells of terrifying power flowed past him. With Wang Chu's control ability, it was naturally impossible for him to miss. Therefore, these spells drew one trajectory after another in the air with different styles, and finally converged on Cang's shield.

Even if the spells hadn't missed, the wind created by the spells would have scarred the ground between them. Even the air had become blurred and unclear in the torrent of spells, but...

Yu Cang was like a reef in the huge waves, standing firmly in place. Every time a spell passed over his body, countless fine cracks would appear on the duel shield, but after a gap of at most a few tenths of a second, with a ripple passing by, the arc would be intact again.

Looking at it in succession, there were constant ripples on Yu Cang's duel shield, and the flashing light formed strange patterns, which was very beautiful.

Every time the Duel Shield is hit by a shield, Xu will directly connect to Kong using himself as the material, triggering [Time Rewind] to refresh Yu Cang's status, and then Kong will quickly connect back to Xu, using the new [Time Rewind] to record Yu Cang's intact status.

This process doesn't sound complicated, but a complete cycle requires the use of both [Time Rewind] and [Oath·Prologue] of the sequence, plus two link summon operations. It is actually very difficult to complete it within a few tenths of a second.

This requires Yu Cang to be very proficient in link summoning, and also to have a deep understanding of his soul cards. And most importantly, Yu Cang must have a complete grasp of Wang Chu's spell attack frequency in order to do this.

Within three seconds, Yu Cang summoned Kong and Xu in a cycle twenty-three times, so that he could withstand all the spells intact!

Wang Chu's style of compressing all combat power into three seconds is indeed very terrifying. Judging from the power of these spells, Yu Cang can only make three mistakes at most during the battle, otherwise he may be directly killed by the spells.

Fortunately, Yu Cang did not make a single mistake.

Countless spells passed along the duel shield that was attached to the skin. Seeing such a scene up close, Yu Cang couldn't help but feel his heart beating faster, but he was so focused at this time that he had no time to feel his heartbeat.

Only after all the spells had passed and his vision had become clear again did he breathe a sigh of relief, and the sound of his rapidly beating heart finally reached his ears.

When he looked up, he saw Wang Chu staring at him blankly on the devil's altar.

Wang Chu opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but the next second, the shield on his body that had been stretched out and scarred by it was shattered in an instant, and a strong wind spread out, deflecting anything that might cause harm to Wang Chu.

A strong wind blew past, ruffling Wang Chu's hair. He no longer cared about his hairstyle. He took a few steps forward and said in disbelief:

"You...what did you do?"

He had also seen the combo that Yu Cang used to dodge [Ancient Demon's Destruction].

But according to his observations that day, this combo consumes a lot of soul energy. Now that the silent round has just ended, Yu Cang, who only has two tubes of soul energy, should not be able to use it!

Three seconds is enough to decide the winner!

But now...

It would be fine even if Yu Cang repeated that combo to win, but now, he took his own combo and remained unscathed. How is this possible!

"Yes, very strong." Yu Cang confirmed, "However, a three-second attack... is still too easy to be targeted."

"I..." Wang Chu opened his mouth, but after a moment's pause, he sighed helplessly, "Forget it... Yu Cang, you're right. My style of play is easy for the opponent to target as long as they have relevant intelligence... Yu Cang, my deck is up to you."

"Don't worry." Yu Cang nodded.

Wang Chu took a deep breath, then turned around and left the arena.

Yu Cang walked to the rest area.

Although the battle with Wang Chu was short, it was actually quite thrilling.

However, although his fighting style looks very rogue, it is actually not as strong as imagined, and is rarely used against other people.

After all, maintaining this combo means that Yu Cang needs to ensure that the Sword Saint of Dragon's Eye is present at all times. Coupled with Kong and Xu, this means that more than one-third of Yu Cang's mental pressure is occupied, but it cannot provide combat power.

In this situation, the opponent can easily exploit this advantage. As long as they can find a way to put together an attack that can break the shield in one hit, they can win by saving their lives regardless of the order.

After all, if the shield is broken in one strike, then the duel is already lost. Even if the shield is restored with [Time Rewind] later, it cannot change the fact that you have lost.

When dealing with Wang Chu, he was considered to be an expert in his own field. He had no follow-up, and the spell card he chose was also a type with multiple combos, which perfectly restrained him with this tactic.

…

auditorium

"This..." Xing Su opened his eyes wide, "Yu Cang, this...how did he do this?"

After experiencing so many battles, they would not be surprised no matter how Yu Cang wins.

But this act of taking a bath while standing in the flow of magic... they really didn't expect it.

I was really shocked.

"...It's indeed very strange." Lu Zihe touched his chin. "However, I see that Yu Cang has been under a lot of mental pressure throughout this process. This may be the weakness of this tactic."

"Even if this is a weakness, it's a bit too cheating." Xing Su took a breath.

Other decks... although some soul cards are very dark, they can still be defeated through normal play, and at most you will go to jail.

But Yu Cang's endless tricks... as long as we can't find any weaknesses, there's really no chance of winning.

"Then you..." Xing Su looked at Lu Zihe.

"Humph." A smile slowly appeared on Lu Zihe's face. "Don't worry... I won't be defeated so easily."

Seeing that Yu Cang had almost rested, Lu Zihe stood up quickly, and the light cast a bright shadow on his bald head.

"It's finally my turn... I'm almost tired of sitting in the audience."

…

Soon, the death cooldown of all soul cards was exhausted.

Yu Cang came to the court.

He looked across and saw the bald man walking towards him, his expression became much more serious.

Whenever he met Lu Zihe, he couldn't help but show respect.

He is nearly 1.8 meters tall, with a cheerful expression and a sturdy body like the Queen of Protein. His hands are rough and powerful, and he walks like a tiger and a dragon, like a hero in the world.

She is truly an extraordinary woman.

"Hello, Lv Zihe."

"Hello, Yu Cang. Nice to meet you again." Lu Zihe grinned, revealing his neat white teeth. "I know you're strong, but if you want to defeat me, it won't be so easy!"

"I will do my best." Yu Cang said.

At the same time, he had already begun to guess Lu Zihe's deck in his mind.

Such a strong and extraordinary woman must have a very strong and powerful card deck. Looking at her rough and powerful hands, could she be a melee soul card master?

The melee Soul Card Master's fighting style is extremely aggressive. I don't know if my headhunter can stop her. Perhaps I need to change my starting point.

I don’t know who is stronger between Lu Zihe and Gu Jieshuang... Gu Jieshuang defeated Chang Kong, who was ranked second in Miaodu, so he should have a good chance of winning against Lu Zihe.

So……

bite!

Just as Yu Cang was thinking, the silent round had already begun!

Yu Cang's eyes fell on Lu Zihe's hand, intending to see how the other party would start before deciding how to respond.

Click!

"I summon!" Lv Zihe shouted, "Super soft and sticky form: Big Cup Slime!"

Duang~

Gurgle… Gurgle…

Yu Cang: “……?”

His body stiffened slightly.

He clearly saw a huge pink and tender gelatinous ball leap out from the shadow of the soul card, and landed on the ground with a "Duang" sound. Its two bean-sized eyes blinked and bubbles kept coming out of its mouth.

On top of its head, there is a glass teacup upside down, like a hat. This may be the origin of the name "Big Cup Slime".

……you.

Yu Cang took a deep breath slowly.

No, sister, you look so handsome and extraordinary from the outside, but it turns out that you are... a slime player?

And it’s such a pink slime!

The key point is, it’s actually called “super soft and sticky form”… My God, you can even shout this name so loudly, Lu Zihe, you have such a strong sense of belief!

"Hmph." The smile on Lu Zihe's face became even wider, and pink light and shadow like water waves were reflected from the slime's body and shone on her face.

Her eyes revealed a look of confidence, and she folded her arms with a firm and confident look, "What? Are you scared, Yu Cang?"

“Gurgle gurgle…”

A "ferocious" expression appeared in the small eyes of the big cup slime.

Yu Cang: "..."

Okay okay.

The slime is also very strong, not to mention that the user of this slime is ranked second in the Battle Club, so we cannot take it lightly.

Yu Cang's eyes became serious again.

Slimes generally have high physical damage immunity, but it is not difficult for your own deck to deal with slimes.

Thinking of this, Yu Cang reached out and summoned a half-dragon headhunter as usual.

The ferocious dragon man in cloth armor rushed out of the soul card, and behind him, three chaos dragon scales were quietly suspended.

Seeing this, Lu Zihe snorted.

"Yu Cang, if you try to use the same methods against others to deal with me, you will suffer a great loss."

"Really?" Yu Cang's expression remained unchanged. "Let's try it first."

Time passes slowly.

In the blink of an eye, the soul energy has been restored.

The silent round ends!

Lu Zihe wiped his hand across the card box, and a soul card appeared in his palm.

"I activate Spell Card: Slime Super Excited Advent!"

The big cup slime's small eyes suddenly became sharp, and its body flowed like water waves. Countless pink waves surged from its surface, and the surging seemed to be constantly expanding the slime's size!

Gurgle!

call out!

A sharp whistle flashed through the air. Yu Cang didn't waste any words. Before the slime could complete its unknown transformation, he swung out a Dragon Hunting Spear, seemingly intending to directly penetrate the slime's body with one strike!

The attack power of the Dragon Hunting Spear is extremely high, and it is not just physical damage. It also comes with a high penetration bonus of both light and dark attributes. The slime is not fast and it is difficult to dodge. Once hit, it is very likely to be directly penetrated by the spear and there is no way to save it.

This spear was extremely fast and was swung out just after the silent round ended. Even when this spear had hit, Yu Cang's second half-dragon headhunter had just been summoned.

However, facing this attack, Lu Zihe was not at all panicked, but instead a smile appeared on his face.

"So you really want to fight like this... Naive."

Boo!

The moment the Dragon Hunting Spear was about to hit the body, the Big Cup Slime's body suddenly expanded rapidly, like a huge ball of water, swallowing the Dragon Hunting Spear in one gulp!

After piercing into the slime's body, the speed of the Dragon Hunting Spear dropped sharply, and a string of bubbles appeared in the gelatinous body, and finally it stopped inside.

Yu Cang frowned slightly.

It was blocked... that's not a problem, but the Dragon Hunting Spear clearly hit it, but didn't cause [Scale Plague]... that's very abnormal.

Although the slime has a very high resistance, it is only a rare summoned beast. Not to mention the slime, even if it is an incorporeal elemental creature, it will grow dragon scales on its body after being hit by the dragon hunting spear strengthened by the [insect].

But why... don't you react at all?

"You've been fooled, Yu Cang." Lü Zihe smiled softly, "I knew you would use the Dragon Hunting Spear to test me...

"Confused? Then let me tell you - my Slime Super Excited Arrival can make the Big Cup Slime completely immune to the next attack, and devour and digest this attack. Yu Cang, after this spear strike, your [Dragon Hunting Spear] will not be able to harm me next time, and your weird [Scale Plague] is completely ineffective against me!"

Yu Cang frowned.

In front of his eyes, the large cup slime grew larger and larger, casting a huge shadow on the ground. Within its body, the dragon hunting spear continued to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye, until it finally disappeared, as if it had merged into one with the entire slime.

"Is this momentum... epic?" Yu Cang quietly took out a soul card.

Something's wrong... This giant slime only used two soul cards to appear, but judging by its momentum, it is considered powerful even in the epic level.

Are those two soul cards that powerful? They're almost as powerful as my own fusion.

"You seem to have noticed something wrong—I can tell you directly," Lü Zihe said, "After the Super Excitement arrives, my Big Cup Slime will transform into an Excited state. Its power in this state is terrifying, but there is a limit to its duration—however."

Lü Zihe shook the Soul Card in his hand. "With my Soul Energy, it's easy to use the next Super Intense Arrival before the duration expires. So, you'd better face it honestly and don't try to delay it."

"Is that so?" Yu Cang's expression remained unchanged.

If that's the case... then it's simple.

However, the current excited state... can it really make me immune to the Dragon Hunting Spear?

Let’s try it first.

With a thought, the two headhunters rushed out immediately. One of them quickly grabbed the dragon hunting spear behind him and threw it with all his might while running!

call out!

The Dragon Hunting Spear easily pierced the body of the agitated slime... However, nothing happened. No dragon scales appeared on the slime's body, and the slime did not look like it had suffered any damage.

Lu Zihe shook his head: "It's useless! I told you, my slime is already immune to your Dragon Hunting Spear. How about a different one... huh?"

She suddenly became alert, and a cold light broke through the air in her peripheral vision!

Coming for me?

Her heart sank, and she quickly rolled on the ground, narrowly avoiding the powerful attack of the Dragon Hunting Spear!

"That was close..." Lu Zihe quickly adjusted his position and hid himself behind the slime.

Just now, two headhunters attacked at the same time. One of them rushed around, testing the slime while also covering the second headhunter's sneak attack.

Yu Cang still believed what Lu Zihe said. Since she said so, his attack this time should indeed be ineffective, so he chose to take a two-pronged approach.

It just seems that Lu Zihe is very vigilant.

"Yu Cang, attacking me directly is useless!" Lu Zihe shouted, "Big Cup Slime, attack!"

Gulu!!

A roar mixed with countless bubbles seemed to burst out from the slime's body. The slime, which had expanded to the size of a hill, leaped up, as if turning into a huge pink tsunami, and crushed straight towards the headhunter!

Just by looking at its size, one can imagine the power of this attack.

Yu Cang did not dare to delay and quickly controlled the headhunters to dodge, but the slime was surprisingly fast and its size did not slow it down at all. In addition, the range of the attack was extremely large. Even though the headhunters ran at full speed, one of them was still crushed under the huge body of the slime.

Through the slime's translucent gelatinous body, Yu Cang could see that the headhunter's body was quickly digested by some force and soon disappeared. Only two dragon scales were left in its place, quietly floating in it.

The attack was so brutal that the headhunter was killed with almost no resistance... However, the dragon scales didn't seem to be digested. It seems that the quality of the dragon scales is trustworthy.

but……

Yu Cang tried for a moment, and his expression changed quietly.

Those two dragon scales that were stuck in the slime's body... he couldn't even control them!

Whether it is to activate the [Fusion] of the two dragon scales or use other fusion effects to select the dragon scales, it is no longer possible.

It seemed as if once trapped in the slime, any possibility of operation would be cut off.

"Does it have a blocking effect..." Yu Cang's eyes swept across the slime's body, and his expression suddenly changed.

A layer of black and white mixed colors spread across the slime's body at some point, and the color of this slime was no longer as delicate as when it first appeared.

what does that mean?

Just as Yu Cang was thinking, Lv Zihe on the opposite side threw out another soul card: "I summon: Super Supple Form - Medium Cup Slime!"

The soul card's shadow was opened and shattered, and a blue slime crawled out of it. Unlike the large cup slime, this guy was gem-like blue all over, and his body was more narrow and long, like ramen dough that had been kneaded a few times.

As soon as the medium-cup slime appeared, it began to change its shape and crawled onto the surface of Lu Zihe's duel shield. Its soft body solidified slightly, as if it was attaching a layer of armor to Lu Zihe.

"Alright." Lu Zihe smiled confidently, "Now, even if you want to attack me directly, it's useless!"
