This is a world where Soul Card Masters manipulate Soul Cards to battle. Originally, everyone honestly combined decks and performed advanced summons based on card abilities, until Yu Cang awakened ...
Chapter 669 [Save Your Life]
After chatting with Qiu Jindong for a few more words, Yu Cang left his room.
It would be great if Qiu Jindong could succeed on this path to becoming a god, but... Yu Cang didn't actually hold out much hope.
After all, by the time Autumn and Winter were near, even Rhythmic Body hadn't been fully formed yet.
The first person to become a legend through this path...must be Ren Zheng.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Yu Cang's face.
I chatted with Old Man Ren a few days ago... His rhythmic body should be almost fully condensed.
There is only one last opportunity left.
At this time, the reincarnation connection was just perfected... If Ren Zheng hadn't taken this opportunity to break through the myth, Yu Cang would really laugh at him.
Thinking of this, Yu Cang came to the door of his room.
When he opened the door, someone was already waiting for him in his room.
Yu Cang was not surprised to see that figure.
Hearing the voice, Gu Jieshuang turned around in the dim light and then came forward.
"Boss...you're back."
"Yes." Yu Cang went straight to the point, "Is there any news about Senior Tai Hina?"
Earlier, Tai Chu had vanished from the Golden Jade Palace, suspected to have been severely injured in the battle with the evil god. They hadn't had time to dwell on it at first, but now that they had some free time, they were determined to investigate.
"Um."
Gu Jieshuang nodded slightly, then reached out and wiped the card box, and a soul card appeared in his hand.
"The soul card that the teacher gave me... has become like this. Boss, take a look."
Yu Cang quickly took it, glanced at it, and was immediately surprised.
This soul card is actually the Sword Intent·Tai Yan, but now, while the basic abilities remain unchanged, it has several more abilities.
…
Soul Card Name: Sword Intent·Taiyan
Category: Spell Card

【Don't worry】:【? ? 】
…
Yu Cang: ...
After seeing all the current abilities of this soul card, Yu Cang felt like a lump in his throat, and he couldn't help but spit it out.
He simply... had never seen such a soul card before!
The original abilities of this sword, Tai Yan, remain unchanged, except for the addition of the ability to [ban the card] and an additional hidden layer.
However, those extra descriptions... are really too inappropriate.
Hmm...but when I think about the fact that this was created by Tai Hina, it does make a lot more sense.
...Presumably, Tai Chu was also using this method to let him and Gu Jieshuang not worry too much about her.
Looking at those abilities, Yu Cang thought for a moment and roughly guessed what had happened to Tai Chu.
The first ability, [Loop], says it all.
Still remembering that when they were on the plane, Tai Chu explained the principle of her immortality, and Yu Cang remembered everything she said.
She said that her life was like an infinite non-repeating decimal. Her real life had died when the decimal point fell, and everything after the decimal point was derived from "calculation."
However, once the numbers start to cycle, Taichu will inevitably become an out-of-control banned card.
This is an exhaustive process that can never be ended once it begins. Tai Hina is constantly calculating the possibilities of life to prevent her life from getting out of control.
Back in the imperial mausoleum, when he extracted the [cycle] term from Tai Chu, he had already vaguely guessed this possibility. Now it seems that he was right.
Too young, it has entered the cycle.
But... it seems that Tai Hina entered the cycle on her own initiative.
Yu Cang later heard about the subsequent battle process. Tai Chu defeated the Supreme Bishop in an almost crushing manner. Logically speaking, this was almost impossible to happen.
Yes, Taichu is very strong, but the Supreme Bishop is not an easy person either. With the support of the God of Wilderness, he has already become a legendary figure. Even if he still cannot defeat Taichu, it is impossible for him to be one-sided... Not to mention that the Bishop cannot even leave a wound on Taichu.
Perhaps, the bishop did cause effective damage, but he might have just disrupted Taichu's "life decimals" in the previous moment, and the next moment, this decimal returned to its original trajectory.
It's too young to change, and no one else can do anything about it.
Although according to Gu Jieshuang's description, the price is likely to be that he can only attack traceable places such as the axis of symmetry and the golden section point, but even so, a myth and sword master who is not affected by any effects and attacks is already extremely terrifying.
but……
Yu Cang couldn't help but sigh.
Since Tai Hyun entered the cycle on her own initiative, then... it was probably because she wanted to use the power in the cycle to break through the evil god summoned by Madam Yu.
And she did this because of herself.
In fact, Tai Chu had no need to do this... Although she promised Di Chang'an, Di Chang'an actually did not have any coercive means. Even if Tai Chu broke her promise, Di Chang'an might not be able to do anything to her.
Thinking of this, Yu Cang's gaze couldn't help but fall on the second-to-last ability.
【Remember to return the favor】
"Don't worry, senior. I won't forget this favor."
Yu Cang said seriously - although he didn't know whether Tai Chu could hear what he said at this moment.
"Boss." Gu Jieshuang said with some concern, "Is the teacher... okay?"
"...Don't worry, isn't it written on the card?" Yu Cang smiled, "When you break through the myth, she will come back."
Speaking of which, the description of [Card Ban] is obviously not right.
The original description of this ability was definitely not like this. Now it has become garbled, probably because Taichu is resisting the soul card rules in the dark.
From this, one can barely make out what Tai Chu wants to say: This soul card cannot be used, work hard to comprehend it, and when you become a myth, I will return - combined with the name of this ability, Yu Cang can probably guess what happened.
Tai Chu must have used some means to insert himself into this soul card, causing this ordinary sword soul card to become a banned card.
Even if the banned card was made by Taichu, it is impossible to avoid pseudo-personality disorder. If Gu Jieshuang were to pick it up and use it normally, the end result would definitely be that she would be retaliated by the banned card.
Even if you do nothing and just put it in the card box, it may be affected.
If a banned card with a mythical upper limit starts to backfire... then Gu Jieshuang basically has no means of resistance.
Therefore, in order to avoid the tragedy of a dead teacher killing his apprentice with his own hands, Taichung manually changed his ability and directly disabled this soul card!
As a mythical card maker, it's not surprising that Tai Hina can do this.
However, after hearing this, Gu Jieshuang couldn't help but fall into silence.
After a long time, she took a deep breath, raised her head and looked at Yu Cang.
"Boss...how about this, you take this card."
Yu Cang was stunned: "Why... This is obviously the soul card given to you by the senior."
Gu Jieshuang shook her head and couldn't help but let out a bitter smile, "It's different... Boss, you will definitely be able to break through to the mythical realm, but for me... it still depends on luck. What if I'm unlucky and stop at the mythical realm, then wouldn't the teacher never be able to come back...
"It's better to keep this card in the boss's hands..."
Hearing this, Yu Cang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Jie Shuang, why are you so unconfident... This is not like you."
"This isn't a question of self-confidence. Breaking through myths is incredibly difficult. There have been many who were more talented and confident than me before, but there have only been a handful of such legends in history. If this matter only concerned me, it would be fine, but since it concerns the teacher's resurrection, it's best that you, Boss, take charge..."
As he spoke, Gu Jieshuang stretched out his hand, ready to completely disconnect this soul card from his soul energy well, and then hand it to Yu Cang.
At this moment, Yu Cang wrapped his hands around hers to stop her from moving.
"It's not that simple to resolve the frost." Yu Cang shook his head. "If my guess is correct, the conditions for Senior to come back are not as simple as just reaching the mythical realm."
"Eh? What else..."
"I also need you to upgrade the senior's Taiyan Sword Intent to mythical level." Yu Cang said, "The senior's injuries are not ordinary. Because of the cycle, her entire body has become a banned card. Even if she is summoned again, it cannot change this process.
"So—we need someone to help Senior again and calculate the number after the cycle according to the original trajectory... And this task can only be accomplished by someone who has elevated the Taiyan Sword Intent to the mythical level!"
Tai Chu entered the loop himself and was unable to calculate the next number, but Gu Jie Shuang was able to do it!
"Ah?" Gu Jieshuang opened her eyes wide, "Is that so... But then doesn't that mean..."
Yu Cang shook his head and pushed Gu Jieshuang's hand back.
"So, I can't do it, on the contrary. Every profession has its own specializations. Jie Shuang, when it comes to understanding the sword's will, I am far inferior to you. If this card were in my hands, Senior would never be able to be resurrected... Jie Shuang, let alone between you and me, even if you look at the entire world, you are the only one who has the ability to resurrect Senior."
Gu Jieshuang: “…”
She couldn't help but remain silent, and after a long time, she took a deep breath.
She realized how difficult this was.
To achieve this, Gu Jieshuang's understanding of Tai Yan's sword intent must be equal to Tai Chu's, or even better!
As a mythical card banner, Taichu's swordsmanship has reached the pinnacle, which can be seen from the star level inside the soul card in his hand.
Level 26!
Going further up, there is the myth of "superposition"...
Yu Cang didn't understand the distinctions between the Mythic realms. But if we use the Legendary level as an analogy... the Super Legendary level could rival the Mythic, so the 26th level could be considered the pinnacle of a normal Mythic.
Moreover, Tai Yan Sword Intent, as the power that Tai Chu comprehended herself, can be said to be only suitable for her. It is extremely difficult for outsiders to approach or even surpass her in perception.
Even Yu Cang can't do it!!
Of course... In Yu Cang's heart, if he used the power of the entry recorder, then this step might not be impossible to achieve, but he believed in Gu Jieshuang and Tai Chu's vision, so this card still had to be handed over to Gu Jieshuang.
"I understand... Boss, Teacher, I will definitely work hard!"
At this moment, Gu Jieshuang felt a heavy pressure in her heart, but she had no way to retreat.
"There's no need to be too stressed. Didn't the senior say that?"
Yu Cang pointed at the soul card in Gu Jieshuang's hand and said, "Look at the name of the last ability, [Don't Worry]. This means that the senior in this state should not be at risk of further deterioration... So, we still have a lot of time."
"Yeah, I get it!"
Gu Jieshuang nodded heavily.
Then, she suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh right... Boss, doesn't [Card Ban] mean that this card can't be used? Then... can I use [Save Your Life] and [Remember to Return the Favor]?"
When talking about these two names, Gu Jieshuang's tone couldn't help but sound a little strange.
This doesn't sound like the name of a normal soul card ability!
Moreover, the activation conditions are quite embarrassing.
It turned out to be... shouting "Teacher, save me"?
This isn't the teacher's bad taste...
If [Card Ban] causes [Save Your Life] to fail, wouldn't that be embarrassing...
Well, embarrassment is a small matter, but missing the opportunity to escape is a big matter!
After all, this ability would only be used in extremely critical moments, and shouting out these four words would take quite a while...
In response to this, Yu Cang also let out a soft "hiss", with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Well... we still need to test it."
There was a twinkle in his eyes. After observing for a moment, he said:
"But... since Senior designed these two abilities this way, then they should be usable."
[Card Ban] The soul card is banned to prevent Gu Jieshuang from being counterattacked... This ability was modified by Tai Chu, and it was definitely not like this originally.
Therefore, the situation is most likely that Taichu is controlling himself from being used by Gu Jieshuang, but if he is in danger, he obviously cannot care so much.
You can also get a clue from the name [Save Your Life].
