Chapter 38 Before the Defense

Arena 5

Wang Changzhi lay on the ground like a dead dog, gasping for breath.

No more, not a drop left.

He felt that the soul energy he had used in the past month was not as much as that he had used this morning!

On the side, Yu Cang calmly wrote and drew on the notebook. After a while, he nodded with satisfaction.

This morning, he collected a lot of data. Although he was still far from exploring all the possibilities of the soul card that was the fusion of darkness and wood, it would definitely not be a problem for him to cope with the defense in a few days.

Maybe, I can even scare them a little.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Wang Changzhi." Yu Cang smiled. "But listen to my advice, being too weak is not a good thing."

On the ground, Wang Changzhi's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but thinking that he still had to rely on Yu Cang to upgrade the deck, he tactfully did not speak.

What does this have to do with being ethereal or not? Using soul energy like this is something any level 3 soul card master wouldn't be able to handle!

Yu Cang put away his pen and paper: "Can we continue this afternoon?"

Wang Changzhi gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, it's okay!"

Although it felt uncomfortable to use up all his mental energy, after this morning's test, he also truly felt the power of the soul card that was the fusion of darkness and wood!

On several occasions, he actually summoned epic beings with this card!

It only takes two summoning cards to summon an epic, and you don’t even have to pull the summoned beast onto the field. This is simply too powerful!

Although the effect seems to be a bit dependent on luck at the moment, it doesn’t matter. Master Yu Cang said that he will solve this problem, and he believes in Yu Cang!

Therefore, in order to obtain this soul card, he could totally endure the fact that his soul energy would be depleted a few times.

"That's good." Yu Cang nodded. "By the way, when I get back, I'll initiate a transaction application for you on the Soul Card Master Association website. Remember to go through the process."

"Ah?" Wang Changzhi was stunned. "But, isn't it only Epic Cards that need to apply..."

"A powerful soul card has to be a little special." Yu Cang put away the pen and paper. "You should go back and rest quickly. You'll be busy this afternoon."

If the transaction was with someone else, the process would be even more complicated. However, Wang Changzhi was a student, and his file had been reviewed countless times, so he only needed to apply and the transaction would be completed normally within a few days.

Whether buying a soul card or giving it as a gift, this process is essential as long as Wang Changzhi wants to use this card in formal occasions in the future.

Watching Yu Cang leave the arena, Wang Changzhi's eyes were a little complicated.

"Those who need to apply for permission are soul cards that require resonance, but this is only a rare grade one... Can you say that he is worthy of being Master Yu Cang?"

…

After returning to the card-making room, Yu Cang worked for a while and made a bowl of noodles with scallion oil.

A man sat at the table and thought about it. He took a photo with his personal terminal and sent it to Gu Jieshuang.

The next second, a message came back.

-

Wow, I've never eaten this!

Yu Cang smiled.

…

In the following time, whenever Yu Cang has free time... or to be more precise, as soon as Wang Changzhi recovers, he will go to the arena to experiment with the effect of fusion.

Wang Changzhi was tortured terribly, but he was also happy in pain.

Soon, it was time for the defense as agreed with Ren Zheng.

Gloria University, “Ask the Ancients” Lecture Hall.

Yu Cang dressed up a little today and dressed more formally. He took out a white shirt and suit that he had never worn since he bought them.

After all, it is a public place, so you still need to pay attention to your image. This is basic respect for others.

Backstage.

"Xiao Cang, how are your preparations going?" Ren Zheng stood beside Yu Cang, rubbing his left index finger around the base of his right hand. He looked even more nervous than Yu Cang.

"Don't worry, just control your expression and wait for the face to grow."

"So confident?" Ren Zheng clicked his tongue. "But why do I have to control my expression?"

"You'll know when the time comes." Yu Cang smiled mysteriously, "Alright, don't stay here with me anymore. I still need to sort out my thoughts. You should go sit in the audience seats."

"OK……"

…

Ren Zheng walked out of the backstage with a little doubt. Although he was still a little worried, he didn't say anything more and left the space completely to Yu Cang.

He has great confidence in Cang.

Ren Zheng adjusted his expression and came to his seat. At this moment, he saw a figure approaching from the side.

It’s Zhang Wenxian.

Ren Zheng's expression changed. Without sitting down, he smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang? It's been a while since we last met."

Zhang Wenxian has a long history at the Ancient Capital University. When Ren Zheng was just a researcher, Zhang Wenxian was already a professor. So even though Ren Zheng has become a local leader, he still has to give face to Zhang Wenxian.

"Ren Zheng, you're so confused!" Zhang Wenxian said with a look of pity, "How could you set a precedent for using a backdoor just for a student?"

Ren Zheng continued to smile. "Mr. Zhang, I don't accept your accusation. Yu Cang obtained this lab, and every step of the process was legal and compliant. He has also produced the necessary results. How about calming down first and having a good chat after reading Yu Cang's defense? How about that?"

"Don't use this to frame me." Zhang Wenxian didn't care. "Do you know what Yu Cang did? I went back and asked several old friends and found out—he was expelled from Imperial Capital University for academic plagiarism! Expelled! What a huge shame! This young man has a moral problem first and foremost!"

The smile on Ren Zheng's face faded slightly: "Professor Zhang, please don't talk about hearsay in this kind of situation."

"What do you mean by hearsay? My friends aren't some scoundrels. If the truth of the matter was still debatable, would they have told me that?" Zhang Wenxian glared. "Principal, the people I despise most are those with shady intentions and those who love to play tricks. If there's one, there's another. How can I believe that his so-called achievements today weren't stolen from others?"

Ren Zheng frowned slightly, but still said patiently: "Professor Zhang, I have to make it clear to you that Yu Cang is definitely not that kind of person. As for the rest, I will explain it to you slowly after watching this defense meeting, okay?"

Zhang Wenxian sighed bitterly: "Principal Ren, you can't just do this because Yu Cang's parents are..."

He didn't finish the second half of his sentence.

"Hey, Professor Zhang, Professor Zhang, why are you here? I was looking for you." Jing Zhao trotted over and put his arm around Zhang Wenxian's shoulders, stopping him from saying anything else. "The defense is about to begin. The professors over there are waiting for you. Come on, I'll take you there."

"No..." Zhang Wenxian wanted to say something, but Jing Zhao pulled and dragged Zhang Wenxian away.

But behind Zhang Wenxian, what he didn't notice was.

Ren Zheng's face had completely darkened.
