Chapter 304 Some Stereotypes of Old Guys

It seems that perpetual cards and venue cards have some similarities, but in fact they are very different.

In comparison, the weakness of the Field Card is that it is extremely dependent on mental pressure, and it is difficult to move. Most of its abilities affect both the enemy and the friendly forces at the same time.

But at the same time, the upper limit of the venue card is also extremely high, and it is easy to produce some outrageous effects.

"...Continue testing, there are still a few." Yu Cang said.

During this day and a half, while he was cracking the method of making permanent spell cards, he also used the entry recorder to make some permanent spell cards.

After investing in these permanent cards, Wang Chu's deck has undergone a qualitative change.

…

Soul Card Name: Impact Plume Array

Category: Continuous Spell Card

Quality: Rare

Attribute: Wind

ability:

[Falling Feathers]: After activation, a plume of feathers will condense at regular intervals. The number of feathers that can be condensed is capped.

[Impact]: When attacked or when this ability is activated, a certain number of feathers can be sent out in the form of an impact.

…

Soul Card Name: Explosive Flame Killing Array

Category: Continuous Spell Card

Quality: Rare

Attribute: Fire

ability:

[Flame Seed]: Each time the user plays a spell card, a burst of flames is generated within the Explosive Flame Killing Formation. The number of bursts of flames that can be generated is capped.

[Kill Continuously]: After activation, all explosions will be launched at the same time.

…

These two soul cards, together with the previous Soul Abyss Summoning Battle, create a system with both offensive and defensive capabilities.

In addition to implanting [Permanence] into the Explosive Flame Killing Formation, Yu Cang also made some fine-tuning to its patterns, changing the way it accumulated explosive flames, making it a system similar to the Abyss Summoning Formation.

This step really gave Yu Cang a lot of trouble, but fortunately he was lucky. When he was studying the Abyss Summoning Battlefield, he naturally thought of this method.

In this way, these three soul cards each perform their respective functions, their sustained combat capabilities are very comprehensive, and their utilization of resources is much more efficient.

The Feather Array can be triggered actively when attacked and is used for defense; the Explosive Flame Killing Array requires all explosive flames to be consumed each time it is used. Although it is not very flexible, it is very powerful and is used for offense; and the Soul Abyss Summoning Array can be activated at any time after successful preparation, devouring soul energy products, and is very targeted at summoned beasts, and is used to clear the field.

If three spell cards are on the field at the same time, plus some small spell cards... then Wang Chu's field will become very three-dimensional, and there will be many options. He can fight a protracted battle, and he can also open an altar for an outbreak.

When creating these three spell cards, Yu Cang deliberately adjusted their specific parameters. The end result was that even if these three cards were kept on the field permanently and the soul energy limit was reduced, the remaining soul energy was enough to support the use of ordinary spell cards.

But at that time, you need a tube of soul energy to activate one card... This is not a problem. Anyway, the soul energy of the spell flow recovers very quickly, so just use them one by one.

It is worth mentioning that compared to normal spell cards, the soul energy consumption of permanent spell cards is much greater, even greater than that of some summoning cards. Even the two tubes of soul energy at the end of the silent round are not enough for the soul card master to activate two cards.

Moreover, if a perpetual card is applied, the upper limit of soul energy will be damaged, then it will be even less likely that there will be enough soul energy to activate the second perpetual card, which is a problem.

There is naturally a solution to this problem - that is to cover it.

To cover it, you only need to pay 80% of the soul energy first, and then replenish the remaining energy at any time, and you can open it and use it normally. Just use this technique, then when the silent round ends, there will be no problem covering two permanent cards.

When a spell card is placed on the deck but not activated, the soul energy limit is not affected!

Then you just need to cover the three spell cards first, and then replenish the remaining soul energy, and you can proceed normally.

and……

Yu Cang thought about it briefly.

The "Soul-Sourced Self" I just made... seems to be very suitable for pure spell flow?

The Soul Source Self can store soul energy, and the amount stored is equal to its own soul energy limit. In the spell flow, this is equivalent to doubling the remaining limit out of thin air. In this way, as long as the number of permanent cards is controlled, it can even maintain the original limit in disguise...

The only problem is that Wang Chu doesn't seem to have a soul card that can be used for dark synchronization... Using spell cards to synchronize requires too much of the individual, and Wang Chu doesn't seem to meet the requirements.

No matter what, the deck has been upgraded for him anyway. It depends on him how he matches it next.

What he is thinking about now is whether he can add a few permanent cards to his deck.

Although using perpetual will reduce the upper limit of soul energy, this ability is really useful.

It might not be obvious in a duel... but what about in the wild?

Perpetual spell cards do not take up mental stress, which means that during an exploration, they can be maintained from the beginning to the end, and there will be no problem whether it is normal combat or temporary rest during the period!

You just need to slightly lower the soul energy consumption of other soul cards in the deck so that they match the lowered soul energy limit.

Not to mention, this kind of magic circle that can be carried with you is also very cool.

"Senior, the data has been sorted out." Lin Yunqing stroked his glasses. "If we do a few more experiments with soul cards, we can publish a paper... This kind of spell card has no risks in use, so it's very suitable for public use."

"Okay." Yu Cang nodded and came out of his thoughts.

"Then... Senior," Lin Yunqing said, "could you teach me how to make a continuous spell card? I'll make a few more in my free time to supplement the data, so you can focus on other projects."

"Ah, you're talking about this." Yu Cang took out the impact plume array and casually took out a bottle of developing potion to apply on it, saying, "The method of permanent manufacturing is not easy. Let me demonstrate it to you..."

Lin Yunqing came closer and watched the developing potion quickly spread on the soul card, and then... dense soul card patterns suddenly appeared in front of her.

Her eyes suddenly widened.

"So... complicated?"

She never imagined that the soul card pattern of a rare soul card would be so complicated!

"Yeah...why else would it take me so long?" Yu Cang sighed, "Listen first."

…

after a while

After Yu Cang told Lin Yunqing how to make a permanent spell card and some key points to pay attention to, he returned to his room.

Only Lin Yunqing was left standing there in a daze, looking a little confused.

Just now, Yu Cang spent two full hours to barely explain everything clearly.

It was naturally impossible for Lin Yunqing to remember all this knowledge in one go, but fortunately, she recorded it.

“…How outrageous.”

It was the first time she had seen that transforming a soul card into one of the same quality and similar abilities was so complicated that every rhythmic pattern had to be replaced with another rhythm.

She felt that it would take a long time for her to learn these things step by step according to the instructions of her seniors.

And the senior had built this framework bit by bit from scratch... If she remembered correctly, the senior had only started building the permanent spell card system yesterday, right?

Even if there is the rhythmic entity of the Dictatorship Sword in the world of consciousness to provide a reference, it is still... too exaggerated.

This is no longer something that can be explained by talent. To come up with such a complicated thing in such a short time requires the senior to think non-stop, and most of the inspiration must be flawless and completely correct.

Not to mention, after the senior came up with the framework, he also made three perpetual cards.

After seeing how the perpetual card was made, she knew that in order to transform a spell card into a perpetual card, she would need to redesign every rhythmic pattern on the soul card. Therefore, the time required to create each new perpetual spell card was terrifying...

Lin Yunqing was silent.

She just felt that... her previous impression of the senior was probably too conservative.

…

After returning to the room, Yu Cang slumped in the chair and closed his eyes for a while.

It's really tiring to make this thing.

If he knew what Lin Yunqing was thinking now, he would probably feel guilty.

After all, in the process of making perpetual cards, a lot of time is spent on the research and development process, but since he has an entry recorder, he doesn't need to do any research and development at all, he can just take pictures of the entries.

Although cracking it also takes a lot of time, but... he has Jieying, a "supercomputer", which is very convenient. When encountering something uncertain, he just needs to run all the possibilities in Jieying's body.

After thinking about it, he copied the recording of himself teaching Lin Yunqing and sent it to Old Man Ren. He also attached a document with the experimental data that Lin Yunqing had just sorted out.

This process is too complicated and it is impossible to summarize it in a detailed text version in a short period of time, so I will use a recording instead.

Things like perpetual cards are definitely more popular with stronger people.

The strong have more soul energy and greater control. Yu Cang thinks that they can even carry one or two hidden magic arrays with them without being discovered by others.

It’s really cool just thinking about it.

soon.

Not long after the two files were sent, a phone call came in.

"Xiao Cang!" Ren Zheng's voice was exceptionally loud, sounding very excited. "Are those experimental data in the document true?"

Yu Cang couldn't help but put his personal terminal away from his ears.

"...would I lie to you?"

"Good stuff... This thing is amazing!"

He thought the voice message was too long, so he didn't listen to it and opened the document directly.

This sight made him excited.

Yu Cang's guess was correct. The stronger the user, the more he or she likes it, and the more useful it is.

But Yu Cang only thought of the first level and not the second level.

This kind of soul card is very suitable for elders like them to use as a life-saving method for the younger generations!

Not taking up any mental pressure means that it can be maintained forever. Ren Zheng thought about it briefly and realized that as long as the data in the document given by Yu Cang was true, he could definitely leave a heirloom-level perpetuity to someone else!

Without having seen the specific perpetual card, he couldn't get more details. But if he continued thinking along this line, he might be able to simply give the target the ability to trigger the perpetual card, allowing them to use it themselves.

All he had to pay was a slight reduction in his soul energy limit, which was nothing - if he encountered a battle that required all he had to do, he would just need to cancel the summons of that continuous spell card.

Moreover, for an eighth-level soul card master, the soul energy limit reduced by an ordinary heirloom is really not that much.

The significance of this invention is really great!

In the past, if elders wanted to give their younger ones a way to save their lives, it was extremely troublesome and they could only use disposable soul cards.

After level seven, a Soul Card Master can activate a Soul Card in advance, injecting enough Soul Energy into it to activate the effect, but not activate it, but keep it in a semi-activated state.

If this kind of soul card is given to someone else, it can be activated directly regardless of the conditions.

However, this semi-activated state is easy to say but not easy to implement in practice.

Soul cards themselves will be "worn out" during use, which is why mythical soul cards need to be handed over to card makers with relevant resonance attributes for safekeeping - soul cards of this level, unless they are in a completely sealed state, will be "worn out" all the time, which requires card makers to use their knowledge to maintain and repair them.

The "wear and tear" caused by this semi-activated soul card can be imagined.

A one-time soul card handed over to Yu Cang would be scrapped in less than half a month even if it was not used. The production of a soul card required all kinds of precious and unusual materials, some of which were even non-renewable. How could one waste it like that?

Before the appearance of permanent spell cards, the only person who could casually provide people with this kind of life-saving method was probably Ning Xingyi, who had comprehended the sword intent... Even Ning Xingyi only had this method after he created a soul card that could carry the sword intent.

But now, things are different!

Ren Zheng asked Yu Cang to stay in a place where he could control him, because he was powerless. Yu Cang's parents were already gone, and if Yu Cang died, he would not be able to bear the blow.

He is not a pedantic person. He knows that if he wants to become stronger, he must go through danger. If he had this life-saving trump card earlier, he would not have restricted Yu Cang too much.

Maybe he would just quietly stick a permanent card on Yu Cang, and then watch him go out and get into trouble with a smile on his face.

It can only be said that for these old guys, the temptation of this permanent spell card may be even greater than those strange new summoning methods!

If only Shuhong and the others had this when they went to the True Dragon's Death Place...

Ren Zheng's eyes dimmed for a moment, and then he shook his head and put aside these distracting thoughts.

"...Hmm?" Yu Cang raised his eyebrows.

He seemed to have figured out what Ren Zheng was so excited about.

Well, it fits his stereotype of an old guy.

"Xiao Cang, your invention is truly useful!" Someone knocked on the table from the other end of the personal terminal. "Just wait... You're going to the Holy City in a couple of days, right? Before you go, I'll give you something good..."

"...Forget it." Yu Cang sighed, "There's no time left, let's do it later... Um, I'm going to hang up first. I didn't get much sleep last night, I'm so sleepy."

Converting a rare card to a permanent is difficult enough, and the workload is daunting. Let alone a Legendary card, which already has extremely complex patterns.

Even for Old Man Ren, it would probably take him ten days or half a month... maybe even longer. If his train of thought got stuck, it could take even longer.

It's better to go to bed. The Fengyue Cangjian in the Holy City is known as the safest secret place in the Yan Kingdom. This thing is definitely not needed.

Even in Zulong Snow Mountain, there are chances of accidents like avalanches, and there are bound to be unexpected bumps and bruises, but in Fengyue Cangjian, it's impossible. As long as you are still human, you can't get hurt there.

"Hey, Xiao Cang...!"

Before Ren Zheng could say anything, a busy tone came from the other end of his personal terminal.

"This brat..." Ren Zheng took the personal terminal away from his ear and couldn't help but curl his lips. "There's no time... This brat, is he looking down on me?"

He is a national-level card maker. Is there anything he can't do?

joke!

If you dare to look down on him, just watch out.

Ren Zheng sneered and immediately opened the recording file.

However, as the recording played bit by bit, the smile on Ren Zheng's face gradually began to fade until the expression disappeared completely and sweat began to appear on his forehead.

Two hours passed quickly.

There was no more sound coming from the terminal, but Ren Zheng was still sitting there with a serious expression and sweat all over his forehead.

It seems, it seems... it's really difficult... it seems that there is indeed not enough time.

After remaining silent for a long time, Ren Zheng silently dragged the audio progress bar to the beginning.

Hmm... Let me listen to it a few more times...

He never thought that one day he would actually study hard the "online course" taught by Yu Cang.

Fortunately, fortunately, Xiao Cang hung up the phone quickly and he didn't have the time to make any boasts, otherwise, he would be in big trouble.

OK, good job on hanging up the phone!

…

Before the exam week was over, it was obvious to the naked eye that the campus of Gudu University had become extremely deserted.

Some students who finished their exams early have already packed up and gone home.

By now, the exam week had officially come to an end, and the campus had become completely deserted.

The streets were covered with fallen leaves and the wind had become cold. Only occasionally would a few students who had to stay in school pass by the street. Their footsteps on the ground made the fallen leaves and dead branches make a crunching sound.

"boss!"

Gu Jieshuang, wearing her coat, suddenly jumped to Yu Cang, who was in a trance at the door. She exhaled a fragrant vapor from her mouth and nose, passing through her furry collar and dissipating into the air.

She is not afraid of the cold, but she won't feel hot if she just wears a coat.

The reason why she didn't wear thin clothes like before was because she was worried that Yu Cang would "feel cold just looking at her."

However, even though Gu Jieshuang's clothes were a bit bulky, they could not conceal her excellent temperament at all.

"How was it? Didn't keep you waiting long?"

"Yeah... I just got here too." Yu Cang, having regained his composure, smiled naturally. He looked at the girl in front of him and asked, "How did you do on the exam?"

"It's okay... Although these academic subjects aren't my strong points, I should definitely pass them~"

Gu Jieshuang looked very pleased with herself.

If she were in high school, she would never have fallen to the level of "just passing".

But there was no way, this was college, and she was too busy now, and had no time to memorize things.

Fortunately, except for academic subjects, she would not give the marking teachers any chance to deduct points for any subjects that required hands-on practice.

"Sister is so awesome!" Qi'er held up the little mannequin and cheered heartily.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Ye Lai squatted quietly on Yu Cang's shoulder, his little tail swinging on Yu Cang's back, his eyes full of smiles.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that for now!"

Gu Jieshuang picked up Qi'er and let her sit in her arms. Then, without saying a word, she put her other hand into Yu Cang's pocket, found Yu Cang's hand, and held it.

It’s so cold today, so I won’t let the boss hold Qi’er’s hand.

"My exams are over. Shall we go? It's time to go to the Holy City!"

"Okay." Yu Cang smiled lightly, "By the way... Old Jiang just told me that I've secured a spot for you to enter Feng Yuecangjian."

"Really?" Gu Jieshuang's eyes lit up, "What about my business?"

"Of course, but there are conditions."

"What what?"

"Hmm..." Yu Cang was a little amused when he mentioned this. "Mr. Jiang said that he snatched our places from students, so he asked us to defeat those two students first."

This is so unkind.

But I have to say, it has Jiangshan style.

Hearing this, Gu Jieshuang couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Are they of the same level?"

"One level older than you."

"That's easy! Don't worry, boss. I won't embarrass you~"

Having already defeated the second-placed Miaodu Combat Club, Gu Jieshuang is now full of confidence.

I think it will be the first and second place in the battle against the Holy City Fighting Club.

Let the boss handle the first one, and defeat the second one yourself...that's easy!

"good."
