Chapter 49: Suppressing the Dragon's Skeleton

"This is..." Yu Cang took the small box with a complicated look in his eyes.

Ren Zheng nodded: "Open it and take a look."

Yu Cang took a deep breath and gently turned on the switch on the box. With a slight "click", the lid popped open.

The bottom of the box was filled with soft sponge, a light yellow cloth was spread on top, and a purple soul card was placed in the middle.

Purple means it is an epic card.

…

Soul Card Name: Death Dragon Skeleton

Category: Summon Card

Quality: Epic

Attribute: Dark

Race: Dragon/Undead

ability:

[Death Suppression]: Death Suppression Dragon Skeleton cannot be Normal Summoned. Upon activation, it enters Death Cooldown immediately and clears the Death Cooldown of all Soul Cards in the same deck. While Death Suppression Dragon Skeleton is on Death Cooldown, all other Soul Cards in the same deck cannot enter Death Cooldown.

[Dislike of Life]: The more soul energy consumed when activating the Death Dragon Skeleton, the longer the Death Dragon Skeleton's death cooldown will be.

[Tears of Dragon Bone]: When other soul cards in the same deck should enter death cooldown but do not, the Death Dragon Skeleton will shed a random number of tears, which can be used as soul energy.

【？ ？ 】：？ ？

…

The background of the card's design is a dark sky that can't be distinguished between morning and evening. A winding dragon skeleton hangs on the ground, with half of its body buried in the soil.

Its skull stared straight at Yu Cang, and two lines of tears slid down from its empty eye sockets, which made the feeling of sadness and vicissitudes come to the face.

Yu Cang stroked the edge of the soul card and was silent.

At this time, Ren Zheng said:

"This is a new soul card. Judging from this soul card, the deck your parents want to complete may be revolutionary. This was originally their graduation gift for you, but unfortunately... now only this unfinished soul card remains."

A flash of memory crossed Yu Cang's eyes, and after a moment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I understand. I will complete this deck myself."

Ren Zheng paused for a long moment, then sighed helplessly, "I knew you'd say that... Honestly, after seeing your performance today, I no longer want to hand this Soul Card over to you. Your brain is much more valuable in the lab than taking risks out there. If anything happens to you in the True Dragon's Death Field, it will be a loss for the entire Yan Nation!"

This Death Dragon Skeleton was drawn by Yu Cang's parents based on the resonance in the True Dragon's Death Land. If Yu Cang wants to complete this deck, he must continue to go deeper into the True Dragon's Death Land. In Yan Country, even the national-level soul card master dare not say that he can be 100% safe in the True Dragon's Death Land.

"That's not an exaggeration." Yu Cang put the soul card back into the box. "But don't worry, I won't die unless I'm sure of success."

After obtaining the entry recorder, it became very easy for him to go to dangerous places to resonate.

It only takes one day to extract a legendary entry, but other card makers would have to stay in dangerous places for a month or so, and they might not get any results.

So what Ren Zheng said was not correct. Going to dangerous places to take risks was the thing that best reflected his value to Yu Cang.

As long as he makes a good plan and goes deeper step by step, he will definitely be much safer than other soul card masters.

"You kid, hey... If you ever want to go to the True Dragon's Death Place, tell me. With your current achievements, it would be reasonable for me to arrange a few Soul Card Masters as bodyguards for you."

"knew."

Yu Cang closed the lid and his eyes suddenly focused.

There was a logo printed on the lock of this small box, which looked very familiar to him.

By the way, it was the prospector who mistook his tricycle for a passenger car in front of Boss Liu’s store that day!

I equipped the [Ordered] item that day, so my memory is still clear. The strange logo on the explorer is exactly the same as the one on this box.

"Old man, what does this sign mean?" Yu Cang asked.

"Oh, this..." Ren Zheng thought for a moment, "This is the logo of a wilderness exploration club called 'Far Wilderness'. Not many people know about this club, and the recruitment requirements are very strict. But the people there are all good people. Your parents chose them as their escorts back then."

"Is that so..." Yu Cang nodded.

After putting the box away, Yu Cang saw Ren Zheng sitting in a chair in a daze, so he said, "Old man, are you still blaming yourself?"

Ren Zheng: “…”

"I've already told you that my parents' disappearance isn't your fault. You were just doing your job back then." Yu Cang waved his hand. "Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving. You should stop dwelling on these things that hurt your health."

Ren Zheng's expression changed slightly. After a while, he smiled and shook his head: "Don't give me that. I don't need you to comfort me... Oh, I have something else to give you."

He pulled out another paper bag from the side: "This contains your student ID and some other documents. As for the dormitory... do you still need a dormitory?"

"No, I'll just stay in the card making room."

"Then there's no other problem. As for the exams...how about you take them together at the end of the semester? We won't arrange a separate exam for you. After all, judging by your performance today, even if you hand in a blank paper, I'm afraid no one will fail you."

Ren Zheng laughed as he spoke, "But you still need to prepare a little bit, don't make it too difficult for the teachers to grade you."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

…

Wu Zhen is an ordinary teacher at Gudu University.

In the morning, he attended a defense, but unfortunately he had a class later, so he had to leave in the middle.

At this time, he had finished his morning classes and was preparing lunch at home when he suddenly heard his doorbell ring.

"Who is it? Come on, come on."

Wu Zhen pushed open the door, but was dumbfounded.

"Professor Zhang, you are looking for me..."

The person standing outside the door was Zhang Wenxian.

"Comrade Wu Zhen." Zhang Wenxian's face was serious. "I'm here to ask you something."

Seeing Zhang Wenxian's expression, Wu Zhen couldn't help but become serious: "Okay, Professor, please ask."

"Did you attend the defense in the Wen Gu Exhibition Hall this morning?"

Wu Zhen nodded: "Yes."

"Okay, I have something very important to tell you now."

Wu Zhen's expression turned serious: "You go ahead."

"Before the defense even started, I said a lot of slanderous things to Ren Zheng about Yu Cang. Those words were based on my own lack of evidence. Now, Yu Cang's innocence has been proven. Please be aware of this."

"Ah?" Wu Zhen was stunned.

This... is that all?

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility. He glanced around and saw no one. He quietly approached Zhang Wenxian and said, "Professor, if you feel threatened, just blink."

Zhang Wenxian frowned and said, "What do you mean by threatened? I'm here to clear Yu Cang's name. Be serious!"

"Cough cough, okay." Wu Zhen coughed a few times.

He is actually confused now... He thought it was something serious that was worthy of an old professor like Zhang Wenxian to come and talk to him in person.

"By the way, have you ever told anyone about this?"

"Ah? ...I think I mentioned this to Teacher Yu in the office..."

"Okay, give me his contact information and I'll go talk to him in person."

"Well, why don't I just go and tell it..."

"No, I have to come in person!"
