Chapter 531: Embracing Frost and Transforming My Sword Body

Soul Card Name: Embrace Frost and Transform My Sword Body

Category: Spell Card

Quality: Heirloom

Attribute: Ice

Race: Unconscious/Sentient

ability:

[Embrace Frost and Transform Me]: This Soul Card can be used regardless of quality if and only if the owner is Gu Jieshuang. Upon activation, this Soul Card enters Death Cooldown. As long as [Cold Air] is active, this Soul Card's Death Cooldown stops counting, and the Soul Card can refuse to end its Death Cooldown. During this time, this Soul Card is unaffected by other abilities.

[Spiritual Root]: This ability takes effect while this card is on Death Cooldown. The (Sword) Equipment Cards summoned by the holder cannot be cut off, and their Attack Power is doubled.

[Boundless Ocean]: This ability activates while this card is on Death Cooldown. When a "Sword Spirit" Soul Card controlled by the owner leaves play, it does not enter Death Cooldown or disconnect, but is returned to the deck. If there are no (Sword) (Skill) on Death Cooldown, place a (Sword) (Skill) from the deck on Death Cooldown regardless of cost.

[Determined Sword Frost]: This ability takes effect while this card is on Death Cooldown. Whenever the owner summons a (Sword), all (Swords) they hold gain a chance to use Sword Qi, which is applicable to [Cold Air].

[Frost Wings]: This Soul Card contains a sentient being: Frost Wings. Frost Wings can freely move between the (Sword) Soul Cards connected to the user's Soul Well, but if it doesn't return to the Soul Card it's connected to for a period of time, it enters Death Cooldown. If Frost Wings enters another Soul Card, it grants it the ability to fly. If Frost Wings is in this Soul Card, all abilities of that Soul Card are added: "While this ability is active, the (Sword) controlled by the owner has [Cold]."

…

Yu Cang looked at the text description on this soul card and understood.

This is a soul card...similar to the forbidden engine of the Weeping Girl.

Spell card, but it has the consciousness of a race.

But Yu Cang was very surprised.

He made a soul card in the hotel... How did he pull my aunt directly from the Heavenly Gate?

Yu Cang placed the soul card in front of him. The pattern on the card kept changing, revealing a large ice-blue bird, which was his aunt.

She was quite confused at this moment: "Yu Cang? Didn't you go back to the hotel? Wait, where am I? Why can't I sense Jie Shuang's scent anymore?"

Yu Cang: "...I'm sorry, aunt."

He laughed dryly twice.

It was really hard to hold back when my aunt was suddenly summoned over in the middle of the night.

"I just made a soul card, and it seems I accidentally summoned you."

As soon as these words were spoken, the aunt in the soul card suddenly fell silent.

Sounds normal.

But something is wrong...

After Yu Cang said this, the aunt seemed to have remembered that she had suddenly heard something when she was half asleep just now.

She was in a daze and just responded casually...but the next second, she was dragged here.

But, this is not right!

She has been living in Gu Jieshuang's true blood and can only come out to breathe through the soul card. It's not that she doesn't want to, but she can't.

She is now just a remnant soul, with nothing left. If she doesn't live in true blood, then she will die.

The old lady couldn't get out by herself, and no one else could pull her out - she was protected by the soul card rules. It was possible to pull her out... but it was impossible for that powerful brick to fly so quietly!

And what about Yu Cang... He just responded casually and came over directly?

Even some contracts that can be signed as soon as they are agreed to are not so casual... Generally speaking, the mumblings she said in her sleep are not valid no matter what contract it is in!

Moreover, the summoning route is so far, directly back to the hotel.

wrong.

The aunt felt it carefully.

Even... it seems that she can still go back... There is a mysterious connection between the soul card she is currently occupying and the original "Ancient Frost Sky Will", which allows her to do some things regardless of distance.

This is even more terrifying.

Let’s not talk about how this was done. I can still feel the connection between myself and Gu Jieshuang, but there is no movement over there... This means that even Gu Jieshuang herself was not aware that Yu Cang summoned her over.

The real blood that my aunt lives in belongs to Gu Jieshuang. Logically, if she produces even the smallest fluctuation, Gu Jieshuang should be able to detect it immediately.

And the fact is that everything happened quietly and without anyone noticing.

If the person standing in front of me was not indeed Yu Cang, I would have thought it was haunted!

...Oh, it seems like she herself is the "ghost".

"Thank you for making this trip in the middle of the night." Yu Cang laughed. "Then let's get familiar with the abilities of this Soul Card first."

Aunt: "...Okay."

Really... I'm finding it increasingly difficult to understand this young man.

Being able to directly validate such a powerful contract with just a ridiculously ineffective method like talking in a dream...

Doesn't that mean that Yu Cang could have asked himself "Can I kill you?" just now, and then just talked in his sleep and sent it directly?

It really is like killing someone in a dream, right?

However, after all, my aunt has been with Yu Cang for a long time, and she has seen a lot of bizarre things along the way.

So, after a moment of silence, he quickly accepted this.

Forget it, forget it. Yu Cang is on my side anyway. The more powerful he is, the better.

My descendants are also amazing, finding such a strong spouse.

The aunt put her mind at ease and began to sense the power of her soul card.

It would have been fine if I hadn’t sensed it, but once I did, I was confused again.

No...wait a minute.

For a soul card made with oneself as the core, shouldn't those abilities be what one has possessed before?

But what are these swords and martial arts techniques...?

There was a clear look of stupidity in my aunt's eyes.

Can I do it myself?

Except for the last [Frost Wings], does the entire soul card have anything to do with me!

At this moment, my aunt was very suspicious whether Yu Cang put herself in this soul card just to make up the number.

"...I don't have those abilities." The aunt could only say, "Jie Shuang should be able to use them...but I can't."

Yu Cang nodded: "That's right."

Aunt:?

What's with that complacent look on your face? You look down on birds, don't you?

My aunt was very angry, but she couldn't find any reason to refute.

After all, that's the truth.

A thoughtful look flashed across Yu Cang's eyes.

The entry recorder pulled my aunt over... From this point of view, my aunt might just be a simple tool to increase the success rate.

He had discovered a long time ago that the success rate of attribute implantation increased when a summonable spirit existed. Previously, he had assumed this was because summoning the spirit was like creating a custom soul card specifically for the spirit based on its attributes... but now it seemed that wasn't the case.

Now it seems...the soul probably played the role of a "lubricant" and a "catalyst" in the process of entry implantation.

If the attributes and abilities match, the success rate can be greatly increased.

And the success rate of the entry recorder's summoning of souls should be 100%.

It doesn't matter who this soul is, it can increase the success rate.

Yu Cang seemed to be thinking about something.

In this case, the soul itself is equivalent to a "material" and there is nothing special about it.

It looks familiar...like they're making banned cards.

The reason why card banners choose humans as the material for banning cards...isn't it because of similar considerations?

However, his entry recorder has no side effects at all and will not directly kill the "material".

Yu Cang glanced at the recorder's panel.

Could it be that this entry recorder is some kind of... product that has taken card banning science to its extreme?

Thinking this way, it does make sense. The Entry Recorder has likely already fully understood the role of "living materials" in the Soul Card production process, which is why it can handle it so effortlessly.

Soul cards with "living materials" are indeed stronger than soul cards without them.

Yu Cang was silent for a moment.

Forget it, don’t think about it for now.

He would one day come into contact with the secrets in the entry recorder, but it was too early now.

"Auntie, you should rest first." Yu Cang said, "When we meet Jie Shuang tomorrow, we will test our abilities again."

Aunt: "...Okay."

Yu Cang put away the soul card for the time being.

Then, he took out a blank soul card, drew some relevant patterns, constructed an entry formula with [gongfa] as the core, and chose to implant it.

But this time we were not so lucky and the implantation failed.

"Then let's stop here for today." Yu Cang stretched and said, "Go to sleep."

The cooldown for implanting epic attributes is six hours, so let's try again tomorrow morning. There's no need to rush.

…

the next day

Yu Cang returned to Tianmen and went up all the way to the door on the sixteenth floor.

Here, he saw Gu Jieshuang's figure, but couldn't help but remain silent.

At this time, Gu Jieshuang was sitting cross-legged on a huge rock with his eyes closed. He must be resting.

From her face, one could clearly see the tired look, and her hair was a little messy.

And the most exaggerated thing is... on the surface of Gu Jieshuang's skin, countless blood-colored tiny lines are spreading at this moment, as if the skin is cracked.

Yu Cang frowned.

Could it be that Gu Jieshuang was on the fifteenth floor all night last night?

Even if one has mastered the technique of adapting to tension, this place cannot exist for long, otherwise why would the Dragon Palace be built on the eleventh floor?

Yu Cang landed on the boulder. At this moment, a voice came:

"Mr. Yu Cang, you are here."

Only then did Yu Cang notice that the little fox Leng Jue had been squatting at Gu Jieshuang's feet.

Leng Jue said, "Stinky... ahem, Master was practicing all night, and I stayed with her the whole time... But don't worry, the lines on Master's skin are a common phenomenon after staying in the upper echelons of Tianmen for a long time. Master drank the Shouzu Blood Wine, so she'll be fine."

Hearing this, Yu Cang's expression eased a little, but his frown remained.

Looking at Gu Jieshuang who was resting, Yu Cang sighed, walked forward, and planned to carry her to a lower floor.

At this time, looking at Yu Cang approaching, Leng Jue took a deep breath.

The opportunity has come!

Right now, jump into Yu Cang's arms! Mr. Yu is concerned about the safety of this stinky woman and will definitely not care about himself!

Leng Jue found the right opportunity and jumped with all his might, and at this moment... a hand suddenly appeared and grabbed the back of Leng Jue's neck accurately and without error.

Leng Jue:?

She looked back...Gu Jieshuang still had her eyes closed, looking unconscious, but a hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed her.

No way, ladies.

I started from zero frame, can you react?

Is it open?

Yu Cang was stunned: "Jie Shuang? Are you awake?"

"Huh?"

Gu Jieshuang opened her eyes drowsily and rubbed them with the back of her hand that was still holding Leng Jue... Leng Jue hugged her arm with an indignant look on his face and was swung back and forth by her.

"Boss...when did you come?"

"just."

"Sorry..." Gu Jieshuang stood up, "I fell asleep and have no idea..."

"Let's not talk about that for now." Yu Cang said, "Let's go to the lower level and rest for a while."

"Rest? I've rested enough!" Gu Jieshuang perked up a bit. "By the way, Boss, I feel like I can now enter the seventeenth floor. Come on, I'll show you!"

Yu Cang carefully observed Gu Jieshuang's expression. After a while, he smiled helplessly: "Okay... I know my Jieshuang is very powerful, but now, we have to go to the twelfth floor first... I just made a soul card for you. After the test, I will come to see you break through the seventeenth floor. How about it?"

"That's...good." Gu Jieshuang blinked: "By the way...Boss, what did you want to do just now?"

"I saw that you were too tired, so I thought of not waking you up and carrying you back."

"Is that so... Uh ah, I fell asleep."

Gu Jieshuang seemed to have suddenly lost power, and fell on a rock, falling "asleep" again - and holding Leng Jue in his palm.

Yu Cang could only smile: "Okay... I'll carry you back."

After saying that, he bent down and picked up Gu Jieshuang.

"Hehe~"

Leng Jue: ...

…

Twelve floors

Martial Arts Field

Gu Jieshuang looked at the soul card in her hand and her eyes widened.

"Aunt?!... When did you..."

"Don't ask me, I don't know either." The aunt's expression was as blank as a college student. "Let Yu Cang tell you."

Gu Jieshuang turned her head.

"Hmm...it's a bit complicated. Anyway, thanks to my aunt, I successfully made this card." Yu Cang didn't mean to explain. "Try it out."

This soul card is a heirloom. Logically, level 6 Gu Jieshuang cannot use it, but [Yongshuang Huawu] solves this problem.

You can ignore the quality and just need to pay the soul energy consumption.

As for the soul energy consumption of this soul card...

Gu Jie Shuang's mind moved, and the soul card shattered at his fingertips, and then, it was successfully used!

Spell cards originally consumed very low soul energy, and this type of physical spell consumed even less.

Therefore, even if the actual quality of this soul card is at a high level... Gu Jieshuang still meets the requirements for using it!

However, even after being weakened layer by layer, the soul energy consumption of this soul card is still exaggerated. In other words, it consumes soul energy equivalent to 1.1 times the upper limit of a sixth-level soul card master at one time!

If Gu Jieshuang's soul energy coefficient had not exceeded 1.1, it would really be impossible to use it.
