Chapter 144 I'm going to catch a high-ranking legend
Fang Pei still had time to look back.
The legendary wild beast had broken free from the control of the electronic pulse explosion and was running towards them in a rage, but it was too late. At this moment, they were already standing at the entrance of the alien space. No matter how angry the wild beast was, it could not catch up with them.
Logically speaking, an epic soul card would not be able to control a legendary creature for such a long time, but their deck is very strong in this aspect - it has abundant soul energy.
Under normal operation, this soul card cannot actually store much soul energy, but just like the electronic energy absorption core forcibly absorbs the energy of four wild crystals, the energy absorption tower can also perform such an operation.
Moreover, the Energy Draining Tower absorbs all units within the range at the same time. In this case, as long as there are enough units that can be absorbed within the range, a fairly exaggerated amount of soul energy can be accumulated in one wave.
Such a large amount of soul energy is enough to support the electronic pulse explosion of the Energy Draining Tower to affect this ordinary legendary wild beast... But it seems that it is still difficult to kill it now.
After taking a final look at the wild beast, Fang Pei turned around and stepped into the exit of the alien space passage.
…
The roar of cannons had stopped for a long time, but the hall was still silent.
Everyone's brains were overloaded at this time.
Why is your team's style... a little different from ours?
Everyone is fighting for life and death here, why are you guys in another space... racing?
They thought of the Imperial Capital team that had just completed the project.
They scrambled and tumbled in a panic as they fled through the alien space. When they encountered legendary wild beasts, they dared not even fight them. They could only use the method of leaving others behind to lure the beasts away while they sneaked away. In the end, they suffered countless casualties and dared not look back before rushing headfirst into the exit, fearing that they would be caught up if they were a little slow. Even the captain was "sacrificed".
What about you?
Start the game with full gas, rush around recklessly, and kill anyone who comes your way. Countless wild beasts will be killed on the way. If you encounter something blocking your way, blow it up first. If it breaks into pieces, just pass through. If it doesn't break into pieces, throw a grenade and run away.
What? A legendary wild beast blocking the road?
I'm showing the utmost respect by slowing down.
Not only was everyone unharmed in the end, they even had the leisure to look back when they finally passed the level. What stood out was their calmness and confidence.
Think about Gu Du’s performance, and then think about their team’s performance in the morning.
Are we really participating in a competition... Wasn't it agreed that the events this time would be extremely difficult?
How is this difficulty reflected in your case?
…
Towards Youdu.
Lao Bai opened his mouth, as if he had something to say, but in the end he said nothing.
I'm scared, I'm scared.
He discovered that in the past two days, nothing he said about anything related to the ancient capital had ever come true!
However, who could blame him? Who could have imagined that Gu Du would behave so outrageously...
What? You changed the rules? The venue?
It's okay.
Gu Du has proved with his strength that true power cannot be restricted by versions.
All the events this time are more difficult than in previous years, which is a challenge for all teams, but in the ancient capital... everyone is here to pass the level and suffer, and you are the only one here to race, right?
But, the Ancient Capital wasn't this strong before... Which Grandmaster is in charge of the Ancient Capital this year, to be able to create such a deck...
Lao Bai couldn't help but recall the famous card makers in ancient times in his mind, but he had no clue.
At this time, Jin Zhaoshan came up and said, "Hey, Lao Bai, it seems that there is no suspense in this game. How about... can you predict tomorrow's event?"
Hearing this, Lao Bai almost choked on his own breath.
"Get out of here."
"Hey, don't be so aggressive, Old White." Jin Zhaoshan chuckled. "I've discovered that your opinion is quite accurate... As long as I understand it the other way around, then my accuracy rate is 100%!"
"..." Lao Bai was silent for a moment, but after a pause, he couldn't help but say, "Not really... After all, I have denied some of your outrageous guesses. They can't be true..."
"That's true." Jin Zhaoshan nodded.
For example, Gudu created a new summoning method, the person in charge of Gudu is actually very young... and so on.
The performance of the ancient capital can be explained by luck, but these few points are a bit of a test of imagination.
It's indeed unlikely to happen.
"It's okay, that's pretty impressive." Jin Zhaoshan patted Lao Bai's shoulder, "I recognize your ability to make poisonous milk."
“…”
…
Miao capital direction
Miao Lei saw that the video on the soul card had ended, so he immediately turned around and comforted Miao Xue, "It's okay, little sister. We don't need to compare ourselves with others. We are still young, and it won't be a problem for us to produce such results in the future..."
On the side, Miao Xue crossed her arms and rolled her eyes, "...No, big brother, you don't think I'll be upset, do you?"
"That's right." Miao Feng said with a playful smile, "I definitely won't compete with those old men in charge... Besides, even if I'm hit hard, your pale consolation will be useless, big brother."
"Shut up." Miao Xue glared, "Why can't I compete with them... Big Brother at least comforts me, and all you do is laugh!"
"Uh..." Miao Feng swallowed, "Hehe, hehe..."
broken.
My younger sister was actually really shocked.
This shouldn’t be the case…my little sister is such a confident person.
My younger sister has been smart since she was young. No matter how complicated the achievements are, she can get a general idea at a glance, or at least find the direction. So in my younger sister's view, no matter how awesome a person is in this world, sooner or later she will create something even more awesome than that.
Who made her young?
But now…
Miao Feng's eyes widened slightly.
Could it be that my younger sister feels that she will never be able to achieve this result in the future...That's impossible.
He may have more confidence in his younger sister than she herself.
Miao Feng opened his mouth and was about to speak.
Miao Xue interrupted him: "Alright, I know what you want to say... I just don't understand it for the time being. If you let me take a closer look, I will definitely find a way."
"How about," Miao Lei said, "I'll go talk to Gu Du. Maybe our two military regions can have some exchanges later?"
"No need." Miao Xue rolled her eyes, "I'll go ask them myself."
She thought of the two young men.
Although they are not project leaders, as members of the project team, they must have some understanding of the project.
Just ask them, not too much, just some peripheral information, and then you can go back and deduce it yourself.
Moreover, we are all young people of the same age, so communication is convenient.
Having made up her mind, Miao Xue nodded and stood up.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, I'm going out for a walk."
…
Imperial Capital
Silence.
Hu Chen's eyes widened, his teeth clenched, and his hands tightly gripped the armrests of the chair.
This...how is this possible!
That is a legendary wild beast!
How could a team of Level 4 Soul Card Masters possibly break through head-on? And they even suppressed this wild beast for so long using a head-on confrontation!
"...I know, I know!" Hu Chen stood up suddenly. "Wen Yang, that legendary skill is definitely just a facade! I told you, there's no way the Association would allow such an unstoppable beast into a competition like this... Wen Yang, that beast is definitely very weak. I'm going to tell He Qi and the others that next time we encounter this beast, we should just confront it head-on. There's no need to back down!"
"You're crazy." Wen Yang frowned. "If you don't understand the power of the ancient capital, don't you understand the power of our deck? Activating critical mass only took out one of its calves, and it healed in just a few seconds. You want the warriors to fight this kind of wild beast head-on? Do you really think mental trauma is so easy to recover from?"
"How else can we explain this? How could their ancient capital be so much stronger than us?" Hu Chen's eyes were red. "I'm going to find He Qi right now..."
"Come back!" Wen Yang dragged Hu Chen to a chair. "Wake up! He Qi and the others are professional warriors. How can a card maker like you command them to fight? Besides, He Qi and the others are unconscious now, so you can't see them."
After hearing the last sentence, Hu Chen calmed down a little.
"But... this isn't a solution." Hu Chen slapped the armrest. "The instructor will be here the day after tomorrow... If he sees our ranking when he arrives, he'll definitely put the blame on us..."
"Not really." Wen Yang released his hand. "There will be videos of these projects. When the time comes, I'll show them to him and he'll know for sure if it's his fault or not."
This time, the project in the imperial capital is naturally not just for the two of them. Their mentor will also come for such an important project as the armament overhaul.
However, perhaps because he was too confident about the results this time, Wu Chutai felt that there was no need to look at the previous projects, so he did not come on the first day, but chose to wait until all the projects were completed and the stage introductions began before coming.
It's just a formality.
And, more importantly,
The person in charge of this project...is not Wu Chutai either.
But it was a student of Wu Chutai, their junior fellow student - Duan Feng.
Although this achievement was something Wu Chutai had worked on for several years, he was giving it up now after all. It was not a matter of honor, so unless it was necessary, he didn't even want to go through the final process.
Why do we say “unless necessary”?
Because throughout the entire game, Duan Feng, the nominal person in charge, didn't even want to come.
Isn’t it funny? As the project leader, he had no participation in the project and was not even present when the final results were presented.
There's nothing we can do about it, they don't have that ability.
So Wu Chutai must come. If he doesn’t come, the imperial capital’s team will become a joke.
Hu Chen gritted his teeth, obviously still unwilling to give in.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something.
"Right!" He stood up suddenly. "The rules of this event clearly forbid advance preparation... but judging by their appearances, it's obvious they did. This is cheating!"
Thinking of this, he rushed out: "I'm going to report it!"
"Hey." Wen Yang stretched out his hand, but this time, he didn't hold it.
Helplessly, he could only follow Hu Chen to the staff's place.
"Report?" A soldier in military uniform raised his head. "What evidence do you have?"
"Evidence? Isn't this obvious enough?" Hu Chen shouted, "Don't the rules of this project prohibit advance preparation? Gu Du and the others clearly didn't follow this rule!"
Hu Chen's voice was a little loud, and half of the people in the hall noticed him and cast their eyes over.
When some people heard Hu Chen's voice, they couldn't help but look thoughtful.
Facing Hu Chen's question, the warrior remained expressionless, saying, "Sir, I would like to remind you that the rules of this event only state that Soul Cards cannot be activated four hours before the event begins. It doesn't say that you can't prepare in advance."
"But they have so much soul energy stored in their soul cards. How is it possible that they haven't activated their soul cards?"
"We've already confirmed this." The warrior turned and glanced at the people who were looking at him. He knew he had no choice but to explain. "The Ancient Capital Mechanical deck can still reserve ammunition even when Soul Cards are not activated. And the ammunition stored in it does not cause additional mental stress. In other words—this is all legal."
"What?" Hu Chen was stunned.
Can you still store ammunition and soul energy when not in use?
This...how is this possible!
Their deck also has relevant abilities, and he naturally knows how difficult it is to do this.
Almost all cards in the Light and Shadow Sacrifice deck can obtain stronger bursts by continuously injecting soul energy, and can temporarily cancel summons when the injected soul energy reaches a critical point without entering death cooldown. This is essentially the pre-storage and utilization of soul energy.
But there are too many restrictions to do this.
First, if you want to inject soul energy, you must first activate the soul card, which is very inconvenient in some specific scenarios. Secondly, after reaching the critical point, even if the summoning is canceled, the mental pressure brought by the huge soul energy will not completely disappear. Part of it will always exist, which makes this state impossible to maintain for a long time.
Their laboratory has made many attempts to improve this shortcoming, but unfortunately, the results have been minimal.
But now you tell me that the Department of Mechanical Engineering has done this perfectly?
Can soul energy still be stored when not in use, and it does not take up any mental stress?
How is that possible? Then my Light and Shadow Sacrifice Deck would become a pure clown!
Behind Hu Chen, Wen Yang slapped his forehead.
He just knew it.
However, the results of the ancient capital this time... are really terrifying.
Their Light and Shadow Sacrifice deck is already very powerful, with its main features being high burst and comprehensive functionality.
It has everything from defense, assault, marching, long-range killing, and burst, and can even provide the ability to die together in desperate situations.
But once compared with the ancient capital... there really is nothing left.
Defense? Their electronic buffer barrier can single-handedly defend against the legendary. Attack? Are you afraid of repelling the legendary's firepower head-on?
Marching... Whether it is the flight of individual reactive armor or the galloping of ordnance vehicles, they are all excellent.
Wen Yang could naturally also discover that although the military chariot looked like a summoning card, in fact, it was a field!
He had never seen a place that could move, and move at such a fast speed.
Because it is a field card, it can actually ignore many complex terrains to a certain extent, just like the project just now. The terrain in the valley is so rugged. If you drive a real tank in it, it is definitely impossible to increase the speed so fast.
However, the armored chariot rushed all the way as if it were walking on flat ground. It was the legendary attack that directly created a deep pit that made them a little embarrassed.
Field cards all have the ability to temporarily change the environment. Military vehicles naturally have this ability as well. They can make the surrounding ground as flat as possible when moving, so they can do things like Xiong Yi drifting in the mountains.
Wen Yang even felt that this card might directly replace the actual military vehicles in the army in the future... He guessed that those who were studying soul energy tools would curse him.
As for the outbreak... forget it, let’s not talk about it.
That's even more incomparable.
Before coming here, he could never have imagined that he would encounter a deck that crushed them in all aspects during the Armament Revamp... Is this really not their top deck?
At this time, Wen Yang thought of his junior brother Yu Cang... Oh no, he is not his junior brother now.
When he learned that his junior fellow apprentice had been expelled, he felt a little regretful. After all, he was quite impressed by his junior fellow apprentice's talent and believed that if he could befriend him, he would surely gain many benefits in the future. Unfortunately, before he could establish a good relationship with him, he could no longer see him.
But now it seems that he has gotten better since returning to the ancient capital, and he actually got such an awesome project...
As for whether this project could have been created by Yu Cang himself... he had never had this idea.
After all, putting aside other things, Yu Cang's resonance is of light and dark attributes, so no matter how much he talks, it is impossible for him to make something like a mechanical card... Although in theory, a deck composed entirely of rare cards can be made with knowledge alone, firstly, it is impossible for a card maker to waste time on something that has nothing to do with his resonance, and secondly, Yu Cang is too young to have such knowledge.
Shaking his head, Wen Yang could only sigh that things in the world are unpredictable.
"But..." Hu Chen wanted to say something, but Wen Yang had already held him back.
"Forget it, they've already said it's okay, don't humiliate yourself, just go ahead."
…
Direction to Shendu
Yun Yan also took a breath of cold air.
Can I store soul energy without activating it? And without any cost?
Wouldn't this technique be even cooler if applied to other decks... After all, the Mechanical type is notoriously known for its low energy utilization.
Yun Yan was silent for a moment.
wrong.
What I can think of, Gu Du can definitely think of as well.
I guess the soul energy stored in this way can only be used by mechanical types.
Damn, so jealous.
Looking at my own deck, it is clear that it needs to be prepared in advance, but the restrictions are even greater than those of the Imperial Capital.
It can only be used after being summoned in advance and then entering death cooldown. He has tried his best to choose some Dragon Soul Cards with long cooldown times, but they are still very inflexible to use.
It would be fine if there was a chance to prepare in advance, but if not, it would be stupid to summon it now and then cancel it.
It’s okay, after all, these dragon summoned beasts have their own combat capabilities.
"Alas, I don't know if this project can be approved."
After watching the performance of the first two teams, Yun Yan is now really unsure.
If they summon dragons to fight step by step, their deck will be no different from an ordinary deck. This project is so difficult...the future is worrying.
Moreover, he saw that the Imperial Capital was almost being compared to the Ancient Capital as a lower-ranked deck. Although he was very happy, his own deck was not much stronger, and was even worse.
If he were to appear later, he might become the lower position in the imperial capital by comparison.
After all, he is the type who prepares in advance.
well.
When will I be able to discover a system that can provide extra soul energy to my family... Then, things will definitely be much easier.
Yu Cang didn't notice the farce here at all.
After the project in Gudu ended, he already knew the results.
You can tell from the solemn and even dejected expressions of the people around him.
So, he simply slipped out of the venue and planned to walk around the outpost. He didn't see the scene where Hu Chen reported him just now.
…
A room
"Hey, that brat Fang Pei." Lei Wanqing laughed heartily. "He's already at the exit, and he's still looking back... That's really disrespectful to the competition and that legendary beast. I'll have to give him a good talk when I get back."
Although he was accusing, the corners of his mouth were almost stretched to his ears, and he was obviously very happy.
On the side, Jiang Shan picked up the teacup and took a sip, then glanced in the direction of Lei Wanqing without saying a word.
Humph, this old guy... doesn't he just want to hear others praise you?
Don't brag.
Qiu Zhong's eyes were smiling, and he just pointed at Lei Wanqing without saying anything.
Miao Yun did smile and said, "Old Lei, no wonder you were so confident just now. It seems you came prepared."
"Haha, just so-so." Lei Wanqing laughed and said, "Hey, you old guys, don't hold it back. If you want to praise me, just do it. It's not shameful."
"Who wants to praise you?" Jiang Shan curled his lips in disdain. "If anyone wants to praise someone, they should praise Yu Cang. What does it have to do with you?"
"Just be envious."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense to me." Jiang Shan put down his teacup. "Lao Lei... well, we have something urgent to discuss. Why don't you go out for a walk first?"
"Huh? What? Is there something about Yan Country that I can't hear?" Lei Wanqing raised his eyebrows, and his smile faded slightly. "Are you guys up to something bad, planning to target our ancient capital?"
"No way, how is that possible." Jiang Shan's mouth twitched, "Are you going out or not?"
Lei Wanqing turned around and glanced at the others. Seeing that they had no reaction, he immediately said, "I'm not going out."
"Okay, let's go out." Jiang Shan glared, stood up and left.
The others in their seats smiled apologetically at Lei Wanqing, then followed Jiang Shan out of the room.
"Ah?" Lei Wanqing was stunned. "Is it really targeting the ancient capital?"
…
After going out.
Six powerful old men found a corner and formed a circle.
"What should we do?" Jiang Shan squatted on the ground, his face solemn. "Looking at this situation... this legendary beast probably won't survive the third required event. So, is there any point in arranging that 'surprise' at the end?"
"...It's a bit troublesome." Qiu Zhong squatted beside him, his eyes narrowed. "Why don't we just inform Gudu and ask them not to take any action at the last minute?"
"No!" Jiang Shan glared. "This is our competition process. We are the judges. How can a judge help cheat?"
"Then what should we do?" Qiu Zhong sighed and turned to look aside. "Miao Yun, what do you think?"
"... Let's not talk about this for now." Miao Yun held her forehead helplessly: "Can you two stand up from the ground first? It's not embarrassing enough..."
"Hey, you're already old, why do you care about what others think?"
"That's right!" Jiang Shan gritted his teeth. "Never mind... For the last level, let's just capture a high-ranking Legendary Master. We can't just cancel it like this, right? If Lei Wanqing finds out, he'll definitely laugh at us!"
"..." Miao Yun sighed, "Go catch it yourself."
"I'll go!"
Thanks to 20220701210007899 for the reward!
