Chapter 497 Virtual Field, the Power of Bullshit!

"Oh?" Ling E raised his eyebrows slightly.

She looked at Gu Jieshuang, feeling somewhat uncertain and confused.

Just now, the speed displayed by Gu Jieshuang... was a bit too fast, right?

It's not teleportation, but the speed is actually reached by the physical body!

His sword symbol's movement speed was so fast that even a level 7 Soul Card Master wouldn't be able to keep up, let alone a level 6 Melee Soul Card Master. However, Gu Jieshuang was able to achieve the same level of speed...

Is it some special soul card?

But...that kind of soul card won't also increase reaction speed, right?

Not only that, in his perception, Gu Jieshuang did not leave any protection for his body when he increased his speed. Although he looked fine now, he might have suffered internal injuries.

This kind of acceleration is not something that ordinary people can withstand... and the key point is that they are just sparring with each other. If they hurt someone, he will have a hard time explaining it to Yu Cang.

Yu Cang had been in Tianmen for a long time, and now he was beaten up by someone else's girlfriend outside? What a lie!

Ling E was thinking about whether to call a doctor in to give Gu Jieshuang emergency treatment.

On the opposite side, Gu Jieshuang had already stood up and took a deep breath.

Although it was just a sparring match, she was already used to giving her all in battle.

The acceleration at that moment did put a huge burden on her body, but she was a mixed-race with real blood after all, and her body was much stronger than ordinary people. This acceleration, which was enough to tear an ordinary person apart, only made her feel a surge of blood and dizziness.

This discomfort is nothing compared to the joy of enlightenment.

The feeling of fighting just now resurfaced in her mind.

When Si Tian appears on the stage, he will directly obtain the twenty-eighth level of [Su]. When [Su] exists, Si Tian can block all damage from attacks as long as he wants!

This is absolute protection from the stars.

However, even so, his [Si Tian] was also easily cut through by that sword talisman...

It is true that Ling'e's sword talisman is definitely much higher than Sitian's star rank, but [Su]'s ability comes from the mythical sword intent Chunqiu, and its ability can never be ignored so easily.

Therefore, the sword talisman did not defeat Si Tian by "attack"!

Just now, I hit the sword talisman with Si Tian, ​​and the damage at that moment was indeed offset by [Su], but apart from the damage, there were more things that I could not offset.

"Senior Ling."

Gu Jieshuang reached out her hand and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her fingers, and she smiled.

"The sword talisman's target was never my Equipment Soul Card... but rather some kind of 'connection' between me and the Equipment Soul Card, right?"

Ling E raised his brows slightly: "You found it so quickly?"

"Thank you for your guidance, senior." Gu Jieshuang clasped his fists.

"Yes, it's 'connection'." Ling E nodded. "However, it's different from the connection between people and soul cards. This connection is unique to equipment cards."

Gu Jieshuang nodded, her eyes thoughtful.

That's right.

The connection between the Soul Card Master and the Soul Card is very advanced. It is based on the connection of the Soul Energy Well and is strengthened and consolidated by the card box. Under normal circumstances, few things can break this connection.

Even a brutal soul card like Tyrant's Designation only disconnects part of the soul card - this soul card is still in the card box, maintaining a shallow connection. As long as some soul cards with special abilities are activated, it can be easily reconnected.

To a certain extent, Gu Jieshuang's perception of the star level is also a perception of this connection.

But equipment cards are different.

After the equipment card is activated, you need to select a target to activate it. In this way, only this target can use the ability of the equipment card. Even if others disarm it and hold it in their hands, they cannot activate its ability... unless it is the passive ability of the equipment card.

The equipment card is not only connected to the soul card master, but also to the equipment target!

To a certain extent, this connection of equipment cards is independent of the simple soul card connection.

And the target that Ling'e's sword talisman attacked just now was this kind of connection!

Once this connection is severed, the equipment card will enter death cooldown due to the loss of the equipment target. This is not combat damage, nor is it an attack on the equipment card, so Hantian Jinzhan and Sitian's abilities cannot resist this kind of slash!

Ling E explained:

"This connection is called a 'vessel knot.' Special sword talismans can directly attack the vessel knot. Furthermore, being able to perceive the existence of the vessel knot and control it is also the basis for using sword talismans."

Ling E smiled, then reached into his arms and took out two soul cards.

"Please take these two Soul Cards... and see if you can put them into the card box."

Gu Jieshuang took the soul card, glanced at it, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

…

Soul Card Name: Tianmen·Postnatal Sword Body

Category: Spell Card

Quality: Epic

Attribute: Ice

ability:

[Wandering Soul]: After activation, the soul card enters death cooldown.

[Spirit Root]: This ability takes effect while this card is on Death Cooldown. The (Sword) Equipment Card summoned by the Soul Card Master cannot be cut off and its Attack Power is increased by half.

[Sword Body]: When an Equip Card's ability is activated, disconnect this card in Death Cooldown and activate it, then select a (Sword) Soul Card to gain this ability.

…

Soul Card Name: Tianmen Sword Talisman Full Solution - Fragments

Category: Spell Card

Quality: Epic

Attributes: None

ability:

This Soul Card can take effect when (Sword) [Spiritual Root] exists.

[Wandering Soul]: After activation, the soul card enters death cooldown.

[Sword Talisman]: This ability takes effect while this card is on Death Cooldown. The Soul Master can disconnect the (Sword) and summon the corresponding "Sword Talisman." The Sword Talisman is considered an Equipment Card.

…

Is this how to master the sword talisman?

Gu Jieshuang understood.

While she was checking the two soul cards, Ling E explained:

"The Tianmen series soul cards have a very important feature... that is the 'virtual field'."

"Ah?" Gu Jieshuang was stunned. "What does virtual field mean?"

"Or maybe you can understand it better if you put it another way... that's 'mouth nonsense'."

Gu Jieshuang: “…”

"Take this Acquired Sword Body, for example." Ling E pointed at the Soul Card in Gu Jieshuang's hand. "This Soul Card appears to only be effective against (Sword)... However, there's no such field in the Soul Card system. So, theoretically, this ability can't find a corresponding target and thus can't be activated."

Gu Jieshuang blinked: "What should we do then?"

"This is when you start talking nonsense," Ling E said with a smile. "For example, if you activate an equipment card called 'Red Tassel Spear', both the name and the equipment it summons are Red Tassel Spears, but as long as you think of it as a sword, then it does have the (Sword) field."

"this……"

"The Tianmen system is so idealistic... This system contains an extremely terrifying number of 'virtual fields'. These virtual fields are independent of the Soul Card system. The Soul Card itself cannot directly respond to them, but as long as your heart, that is -

"If your 'Perception' meets the criteria, you can add this 'Virtual Field' to your Soul Card."

Gu Jieshuang scratched his head.

I don't understand.

Virtual fields? Why not real fields?

"Very confused, right? I was just as confused as you when I first started learning. But... after understanding what Xili did, this situation is not surprising." Ling E said, "Xili wants to forge his own path, so what he creates will naturally not be compatible with the Soul Card system."

Although judging from the results, it was also assimilated into the soul card system.

"This is also one of the reasons why the threshold for using the Soul Cards of the Tianmen system is high - if you want to flexibly use the Soul Cards of this system, then your 'Perception' must be high. For those who lack comprehension, the Tianmen deck is no different from a card pile.

"And precisely because of this characteristic, the upper limit of the Tianmen deck is also very high. After all, as long as your perception meets the requirements, all the soul cards in this huge system will become a whole!"

"Is that so..." Gu Jieshuang blinked, but her heart was already filled with surprise.

Is there...this kind of soul card?

She took out her card box and wanted to put the two soul cards in it.

But... to her surprise, a resistance faintly emanated from the soul card in her hand, as if... it was stopping her actions?

How could that be? She's already a Level 6 Soul Card Master, so she should be able to use epic cards... And even if she can't, there shouldn't be this much resistance...

Seeing this, Ling E smiled and said, "However, the virtual field is only one manifestation of the requirement for perception... In the Tianmen system, the only thing that cannot be replaced by a virtual field is the [Spiritual Root]. This ability is the basis for the activation of almost all Tianmen Soul Cards."

"【Spiritual Roots】?" Gu Jieshuang's gaze fell on the acquired sword body.

The second ability of this card is [Spiritual Roots].

"Although [Spiritual Roots] only has this one name, its breakdown is quite complex. For example, this Acquired Sword Body, this Soul Card has an ice attribute and is a 'Sword Body,' so its Spiritual Roots are both Ice Spiritual Roots and (Sword) Spiritual Roots. When this card is on Death Cooldown, only the Tianmen Soul Card corresponding to the [Spiritual Root] can be used."

Gu Jieshuang frowned slightly: "Then what does this have to do with me not being able to put it into the card box?"

"Soul Cards with [Spiritual Root] abilities all have very high requirements for Soul Card Masters." Ling E smiled. "Take this sword body, for example—it requires the Soul Card Master to have the resonance attribute and the ability to perceive the weapon knot. Only when these two requirements are met can it be placed in the card box."

Gu Jieshuang: “…”

What a troublesome soul card.

However, if that's the case, I should have met the requirements.

Even if he is not a card maker, he still has resonance attributes, and Gu Jieshuang's resonance attribute is undoubtedly ice attribute.

As for the knot, she had also successfully sensed it just now, so...

Gu Jieshuang gently closed her eyes and aimed her acquired sword body at the gap in the card box. The scene of the previous clash flashed through her mind again and again...

Knot, Knot...

She exerted force with her fingers and slowly pushed the soul card. The resistance became stronger and stronger. Until one moment, she felt her fingertips loosen and the resistance suddenly dissipated!

Click!

With a slight sound, the acquired sword body was successfully stuffed into the deck and immediately connected with Gu Jieshuang's soul energy well!

Seeing this, Ling E smiled and nodded: "Not bad... After sensing the knot, this step is still very simple."

Gu Jieshuang took out the fragment of the complete solution of Tianmen Sword Talisman again. This time, it didn't take much effort to add it to the card box. He quickly put it into the card box... and it was connected immediately in the same way!

This made Gu Jieshuang a little surprised.

You know, with the exception of some special Soul Cards, the higher the quality of the Soul Card, the longer it takes to connect to it with the Soul Energy Well for the first time. Logically speaking, to connect to an epic card, even someone with a bit of talent would need several minutes...

However, these two soul cards melted in the mouth and were connected the moment they were put into the card box, without any obstruction at all!

Ling E seemed to know what Gu Jieshuang was thinking and said, "Although the requirements are high, as long as they are met, the Soul Card of the Tianmen system is quite convenient - the quick connection is just one of the advantages."

"Is that so..." Gu Jieshuang seemed to understand but not quite.

Then, she took out the acquired sword body and chose to activate it.

Click...

With a slight sound, the soul card turned into soul card fragments and dissipated in the air.

After the Fairy Trace was triggered and the Soul Card was activated, nothing happened and it went into Death Cooldown. However, as long as this card existed in Death Cooldown, Gu Jieshuang was equivalent to possessing the Sword Spirit Root... In other words, he could activate the Sword Talisman Full Solution!

She took out the sword talisman, unlocked it completely and activated it. Just like the sword body, nothing happened after activation, but Gu Jieshuang had vaguely gained the power to use the sword talisman.

"Okay, now, let's try to summon the sword talisman." Ling E said, "Even if you can sense the weapon knot, it's not that easy to summon the sword talisman. It took me more than a day. So don't be impatient, it will come naturally when the time comes... ah?"

Ling E was stunned.

Just before his eyes... Gu Jieshuang stretched out her finger and pointed, and a soul card immediately flew out of the card box, and turned into a streak of light in the air!

Click!

Activate Breaking the Seal: Frost Sky after disconnecting it, and summon the corresponding sword symbol!

Buzz...

The ice-blue sword talisman was suspended beside Gu Jieshuang. It looked like a palm-sized dagger, as if made of ice. A chill lingered around the small sword, which looked very beautiful.

This sword talisman can fly around even without someone holding it, like a stream of light, very magical.

"How amazing!" Gu Jieshuang's eyes lit up.

She could feel that this small sword talisman had inherited almost all of Pofeng Hantian's abilities!

Some abilities that are not suitable for use on sword symbols have also been automatically improved to make them better suited for combat.

While the power of this ability seems to have been weakened, it does grant the ability to fly, making it more flexible and versatile... and the soul energy consumption is surprisingly low? It's even comparable to Synchro!

This was the first time she had the experience of flying by directly controlling the equipment card without relying on her aunt.

At this time, Gu Jieshuang turned her head and said, "Ah... Senior Ling, what did you say just now?"

"...It's okay." Ling E coughed a few times.
