Chapter 438: Chi, a dragon and a tiger

As the name suggests, a nature spirit is a spirit that is born out of thin air in nature.

This kind of spirit cannot be seen by ordinary people, and even soul card masters find it difficult to detect. It is an almost completely invisible existence.

Although this nature sounds terrifying, since these spirits are very weak and mostly stupid, they act only on instinct, just like paramecium, and will not affect the human world, so no one specifically targets these natural spirits.

Because natural spirits can be stored in soul cards through special techniques, these spirits are quite popular among soul card makers. Many card makers have done a lot of research on natural spirits, but the final results are not satisfactory.

No one understands the specific mechanism by which these natural spirits are created, making it impossible to cultivate them artificially. They are also nearly impossible to find in human-populated areas like cities and villages, so they can only be caught in the wild.

Blue Star is so huge that it is extremely unlikely to encounter a wild nature spirit in the wild. What's more, nature spirits are difficult to detect, and sometimes they may pass through their bodies without being noticed.

Most of the natural spirits nowadays are short-lived. After being born in a certain place, they may wander alone for a few years or even months before disappearing. Some have a short lifespan and may not even last for a few days. All these factors have led to the extremely small number of natural spirits. Even those soul card masters at level seven or eight may not have natural spirits in their decks.

Of course, the most important reason is that the natural spirits are too weak.

A nature spirit, when placed in the deck of a level 5 soul card master, might bring a nice improvement, but if given to those strong ones, it might become a burden instead.

The creations in Ning Xingyi's yard are an example - Old Ning only treats those natural spirits as pets and has no intention of letting them fight.

Of course, there are also strong ones among the nature spirits, but perhaps one may not be seen for hundreds of years - according to records, a long time ago, powerful nature spirits were everywhere on the earth, and they were a very important race on the blue planet.

But... since the coming of the wilderness, the only natural spirits that can be born are these weak, ignorant and stupid creatures.

Wen Renge was able to equip his sword with a nature spirit, which was already a top-tier configuration among ordinary people, and Shen Pan's entire deck was full of nature spirits...

That is the luxury of luxury!

He was born with a spiritual eye and can see many things that ordinary people cannot see, and natural spirits are just one of them.

However, being able to see it is not enough. The Shen family behind Shen Pan is also quite wealthy. They spent a lot of real money to equip Shen Pan with this exaggeratedly luxurious card deck.

This deck actually doesn't have the strength to match its price, but there's nothing we can do about it, Young Master Shen just likes it.

collapse!

Wu Chen swung his giant stick with all his might to deflect the giant spirit's sword, then pulled back, putting some distance between them in a few steps.

He looked down at his feet—sure enough, the effect of Nightmare Binding had not disappeared.

A pool of thick shadow gathered at his feet, and tentacles kept emerging from it, pulling at his body.

According to common sense, the duration of Nightmare Binding should have ended long ago, but it is obvious that the effect of this soul card has not disappeared.

Including the giant spirit in front of him... the same goes.

"Put the nature spirit into the spell card?" Wu Chen couldn't help but ponder.

There are many ways to use Nature Spirit, but stuffing it into a spell card can only be considered as a kind of insignificant one... However, quantitative change leads to qualitative change. If the deck is full of such cards, it seems that it will be very powerful.

"Wu Chen, aren't you going to use your Soul Card yet?" Shen Pan couldn't help but ask, "If you keep wasting Soul Energy like this... I won't let you go."

Wu Chen: “…”

"I think you can probably guess—the mental stress of these two 'Spell Summoned Beasts' is very low. With the Nature Spirit present, their impact on my mental stress is negligible, except for the moment of activation. This means I have an endless supply of Soul Energy to deploy! If you don't use Soul Cards, your chances of winning will only get lower and lower."

The way he develops his deck is simple and crude.

It's simply about building, launching, and standing still.

However, due to the existence of the natural spirit, the soul energy consumption is halved when releasing the cover, and the mental pressure is greatly reduced when standing on the field, so his scene is formed very quickly, even better than the synchronization!

"Really?" Wu Chen silently raised the long staff in his hand. "Spell summoned beasts—since they have become summoned beasts, that means... I can attack them, right?"

Shen Pan's expression changed slightly: "...Of course."

"So, it's no different."

Wu Chen held the stick in both hands, took a deep breath—and then rushed out suddenly!

Bang!

The ground was cracked by Wu Chen's sudden outburst. Shen Pan's face changed and he quickly ordered the giant spirit to swing his beheading sword to meet him!

At the same time, he was not idle either. After his soul energy was sufficient, he placed another soul card behind him.

collapse!

There was another loud bang, and the beheading sword and the long stick collided, but this time, the situation was different.

Wu Chen twisted his waist and exerted force from the ground. His muscular muscles were like sophisticated instruments that transmitted power layer by layer. With a movement of his arms, he actually sent the beheading sword flying!

The beheading sword of the giant spirit god was even bigger than Wu Chen's, and it even took advantage of the potential energy from above, but unexpectedly, it was still bounced away by Wu Chen's sword!

"A clumsy slash." Wu Chen's eyes flashed with a serious light, "It's worse than charging into a trapped beast."

collapse!

Wu Chen's movements were as natural as flowing water, and the tentacles on his body did not seem to affect his movements at all. After shaking off the beheading knife, he took a step forward, and his long stick broke through the air, and with a powerful swing, he hit the giant spirit's abdomen directly!

The spirit's body was immediately covered with cracks, and the parts that were hit were almost broken in half. The giant spirit flew backwards and landed heavily on the ground. When he wanted to get up again, he was unable to do so.

Wu Chen raised his brows slightly.

He thought that this attack could kill him instantly.

However, it's not a big problem.

"Nature spirits' control over power is no different from that of children. Relying solely on them in battle...will actually weaken the Soul Card Master's own 'skills.'" Wu Chen said slowly, "Spires of this level are meaningless no matter how many there are."

Natural spirits act solely on instinct. This kind of existence is fine in the hands of ordinary soul card masters, at least it allows them to control their summoned beasts to fight, saving them some worry.

But where is this? This is the college league! For Soul Card Masters who can stand here, using Heart Points is just the most basic operation. Pick any one of them and they can control three or four summoned beasts at the same time to cooperate with each other and perform difficult operations.

In this situation, placing a nature spirit that can only simply follow orders on the field is a pure flaw.

Just like the collision just now, his own force technique, cutting angle, attack explosiveness, etc. were all impeccable. Even if the giant spirit's power was twice as great, he would still be defeated by his sword.

Such skills are as easy for me as eating and drinking, and I don’t need to use my brain - at least not when facing an opponent like the Natural Spirit.

In Wu Chen's opinion, Shen Pan's fighting style was nothing more than destroying his own martial arts.

In response to Wu Chen's words, Shen Pan chuckled with an ambiguous meaning.

It's really exaggerated... This guy's painting style seems different from others.

Everyone was playing cards when Hanma Yujiro suddenly appeared and started playing Ghost Back.

Unfortunately, such attacks are still useless.

"Really? ...You don't think your attack just now was very effective, do you?"

"Um?"

Buzz...

A dull trembling sound was heard, and Wu Chen turned his head to look, only to find that the giant spirit god who had just been knocked to the ground by him... slowly climbed up, and the cracks on the spirit body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, it had returned to its original state.

Wu Chen frowned slightly.

At this time, Shen Pan explained slowly: "The main body of the spell summoned beast is no longer the soul card itself, but the spirit that resides within it... In other words, unless you have a means to directly attack the spirit, any attack or ability will be invalidated!"

There was one more thing he didn't say.

Nature spirits act on instinct and only know how to seek benefits and avoid harm. Therefore, no matter what the attack is, as long as it hurts the nature spirit... it will immediately retreat back into the soul card.

However, there are very few attacks that can penetrate the magic body and harm the nature spirit.

In other words, spell summoned beasts have terrifying resistance that is almost completely immune. Although they will die if touched, they are almost never touched.

Although the strength of a single spell summoned beast is not high, it can be summoned quickly. It won't take long for it to fill you with a field of natural spirits. You can't kill them by fighting them, and they're annoying if you don't fight them. There is almost no solution.

All resistance to mobs, boy!

Wu Chen: “…”

Is this such a disgusting tactic?

What’s the difference between this and holding a defense on the spot!

"So you'd better use other soul cards quickly." Chen Pan spread his hands, "Don't wait until you lose and then say that you didn't use your full strength."

Wu Chen's gaze lingered for a moment on the soul cards behind Shen Pan.

During this time, Shen Pan covered another soul card, and now there are five covered cards in the backfield.

Theoretically, when facing this kind of unkillable monster, he can just rush into it.

But with those five mysterious cards, it might not be so easy for me to face them.

…It seems that I can’t hide my strength forever.

Thinking of this, Wu Chen suddenly said, "You said you were born with spiritual eyes?"

"certainly."

"Can you see everything?"

"I can't really say that—it's just that there's very little I can't see."

"I see."

Wu Chen took a deep breath and then slowly closed his eyes.

"Then you—must remember well what you're going to see next."

Shen Pan was stunned: "What do you mean?"

He was about to ask a few questions when his eyes suddenly widened.

What is that?

boom!

An invisible fierce aura burst out from Wu Chen's body, as if a "field" was unfolding in front of him, and this invisible field had its own color in Shen Pan's eyes.

Purple, red, yellow, green... all kinds of exaggeratedly saturated colors filled the air, flowing freely like the sea. Various whirlpools and undercurrents mixed the colors together, as if a strange and bizarre world suddenly descended!

Is this... Wu Chen's aura?

Can he influence the surrounding space to this extent just by relying on his aura?

Shen Pan could see other people's "aura"... but among his peers, he had never seen anyone who was so exaggerated as this, not even Duan Feng!

suddenly--

Boom!

Shen Pan's heartbeat seemed to stop, and a creepy feeling spread across the surface of his skin. He looked up in horror, only to find that in the depths of the layers of color, a strange beast of exaggerated size slowly emerged!

Is that... a dragon?

No, it doesn't seem like that... The dragon has no horns and has a pair of cat ears... It looks more like a tiger?

Whatever it is, it's too big!

Wu Chen stood in the center of the entire arena, and the area behind him was covered by that phantom, which was higher than the highest level of the audience seats!

"call……"

Wu Chen slowly opened his eyes, and a rich light flowed in his eyes.

He casually raised his hand, and the long stick in his hand turned into soul card fragments and dissipated.

He also canceled this only equipment card.

Without summoning any soul cards, he just stood in the arena and slowly made a strange starting move.

"—Chi means dragon and tiger."

Buzz!

Wu Chen moved, and his speed instantly increased to an incredible level!

However, Shen Pan's gaze still did not fall on Wu Chen, but he raised his head.

In his eyes... the one rushing towards him was not Wu Chen, but the huge strange beast!

It's like the sky is falling!

"Is it true...Is this something I'm going to hit?"

collapse!

Shen Pan stood there with almost no resistance. The huge beast merged with Wu Chen while running, and finally turned into a powerful kick, tearing off the black tentacles along the way, penetrating directly into the body of the giant spirit, and finally hitting Shen Pan's abdomen hard!

Bang!

The five covered cards behind Shen Pan were shattered at the same time by this kick!

He was not without resistance.

In fact, he had already tried to flip open the cover on his back to resist... However, the natural spirits living in it were all trembling under the overwhelming momentum. No matter how he summoned them, they didn't have the courage to come out and fight!

Bang!

Wu Chen continued to move forward, pushing Shen Pan forward with one foot, until he hit the protective shield and finally stopped.

Wu Chen looked into Shen Pan's eyes, and a second before his duel shield completely dissipated, he spoke:

"Remember what you saw?"

"...Ha." Shen Pan couldn't help but reveal a helpless bitter smile, "I'm afraid it will be very unforgettable..."

"You can tell people - I'm looking forward to someone taking this kick."

Bang!

The duel shield could no longer hold and shattered, and Shen Pan's figure disappeared from under Wu Chen's feet.

Wu Chen retracted his foot and frowned suddenly, as if he suddenly had a headache.

Taking a deep breath, Wu Chen turned around and left the venue.

…

In the audience

"Burning true blood." Gu Jieshuang's expression turned serious. "How much true blood does he have...to be able to withstand such burning?"
