Chapter 191: Admission Assessment
Wang Hui gave Yu Cang three copies of Dusk Return.
This is also the limit of a deck that can carry this soul card.
To fully utilize the power of Dusk's Return, carrying three copies is indeed the best option.
After all, it is just a rare card. If it is used on the Dragon of Light and Shadow... there is nothing much to say about the activation of [Dusk]. The equivalent quality of dragon scales is not high, and [Dusk] can be easily used on them, but it is a bit difficult to use [Second Coming] on the Black and White Dragon.
Generally speaking, rare cards have little effect on epic cards. In order to have an effect, you always need to use some special techniques or abilities.
Just like the return of dusk... disconnecting the three soul cards at the same time should allow you to activate [Return] on the black and white dragons.
Although it is a bit of a hassle, there is nothing we can do about it, the quality is there.
Yu Cang is only a level four now, so even if he has the epic Dusk Coming Again, he can’t use it.
"Treating? Let's go!" Wang Hui had already put the loss of the duel behind him. "Let me make it clear, I'm a master of status. If you take me to those low-class restaurants to treat me perfunctorily, I will turn around and leave."
"Don't come here, it's just a roadside noodle shop, eat if you want or not."
"Okay... then I'll go back and change my clothes. This suit is really expensive."
…
Noodle shop.
Wang Hui changed into an ordinary short-sleeved shirt and long pants. The fabric was ordinary and there was no brand. It looked like something from a street stall.
But when worn by Wang Hui, it does have an inscrutable elegance.
"I'm not saying anything." Wang Hui propped up his chin. "Why would I eat noodles out? Can they be as delicious as yours?"
"I'm lazy."
The weeping girl stood on the table and added water to their cups.
Wang Hui looked at it without caring: "Tsk... That's great, a card pet that can be called a partner... I have never seen such a thing in Tiandao."
"It's normal." Yu Cang explained, "Card pets are just a gimmick nowadays. Even if they exist, they are exclusive toys for high-level soul card masters. It's normal that you haven't seen them."
There are indeed quite a few papers on this subject, and Yu Cang occasionally reads a few of them, but they have no practical significance.
"You don't know." Wang Hui leaned closer. "Over at Tiandao... a few monsters have appeared in recent years. They don't even look human anymore... One of them was taken away by the Tiandao Soul Research Institute during his freshman year. I heard that his card-making speed is equal to his thinking speed. He can even draw soul cards directly in battle!"
Yu Cang: "Hmm..."
"There's another monster who's said to be able to see spirits in nature with his naked eyes and summon them at will. He can even summon spirits directly into battle using blank soul cards, without even needing a deck! You know, Tiandao believes this guy might be using a completely new summoning method!"
Yu Cang: "Uh..."
"That's not all. Someone gained inspiration from the ancient witchcraft there and was able to perceive rhythm at a deeper level through rituals. Sounds amazing, right? This person has been taken away by the Sky Island authorities, and there's still no news."
Yu Cang: "Oh..."
That's what I said.
Why does it sound like you are describing yourself from a different perspective?
Ahem, just kidding, he really couldn’t achieve some of the achievements of these “evil spirits”.
Listening to Wang Hui’s description...Tiandao is about to rise.
Wang Hui finished speaking and shook his head: "Tsk, they have quite a few monsters... And they have more card pet concepts than Yanguohuo, and more people are researching this field. There are even specialized laboratories where you can find several. Even so, I have never seen a being like the Weeping Girl... It has to be you, brother."
Yu Cang: "The Weeping Girl cannot be replicated, and I have no way of summoning a second Weeping Girl."
"Oh, I see." Wang Hui shook his head. "What enviable luck..."
As he was speaking, the waiter had already brought two bowls of noodles to the table, with steam rising from them.
Wang Hui gently moved his hand in front of the bowl, bringing a whiff of fragrance to his nose.
"Hmm... not bad. Yu Cang, the people in your hometown make delicious noodles. Could it be that noodles are a specialty of the ancient capital?"
"It's just that the place I brought you to is delicious." Yu Cang looked at Wang Hui's actions and clicked his tongue. "What's in front of you is noodles, not perfume. There's no need for such exaggerated actions."
"What do you know? I'm just respecting the chef's skills."
"...I think it's more respectful to put it in Jeon Hyun's mouth."
"It depends on the person." Wang Hui took a napkin from the side and gently wiped his hands.
"Yes, you are special." Yu Cang said, "By the way, how long do you plan to stay in the ancient capital this time?"
"I'm fine with that. Actually, it's no big deal if I stay here until next year," Wang Hui said nonchalantly. "I've already completed all my credits for this semester on Tiandao Island, so there's no need to go back."
"Tsk, that's great." Yu Cang suddenly thought of the fact that he still had to deal with all the exams in subjects from freshman to junior year, and he sighed.
Even if he doesn't take the exam, probably no one would dare to fail his subject.
Wang Hui smiled softly: "The university over on Tiandao is quite special...but that's also because I'm a genius, hehe."
"Stay until next year... Hmm? You'll stay in the ancient capital forever? You won't be returning to the imperial capital?"
"What's so good about going back to that shabby place in the imperial capital? I get angry just seeing those two words." Wang Hui's smile instantly disappeared and he snorted, "If I go back, I'll definitely be under the control of that pedantic old man. Why should I put up with that?"
Yu Cang paused, put down his chopsticks, raised his head and looked at Wang Hui's expression.
"...You had a falling out with your family?"
"Don't count it. I just hate the old man."
"Because of my business?"
"No, I've disliked him for a long time."
Yu Cang frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows.
"You better not be... Otherwise I'll turn my guilt into a desire to fight, and ruthlessly help you grow in battle."
"Ahem." Wang Hui coughed a few times. "Well, well... let's not talk about this for now."
Damn it.
Originally, he couldn't beat Yu Cang, but because of the special nature of his deck, Yu Cang had no way to quickly get rid of him. He could only get into his rhythm and fight him slowly.
In this way, even though I lost, I was still very happy.
But now... Yu Cang suddenly became so powerful that he actually broke his flower deck by using a frontal breakthrough!
To be honest, his deck has a lot of weaknesses. For example, he can basically not beat Qiu Ding's Earthburning Lord deck... But these weaknesses should definitely not include a deck whose main force is melee!
Generally speaking, this kind of deck should be restrained by him!
How come it's the other way around...
Being completely defeated, he naturally couldn't be happy.
"Ahem...Xiao Cang." Wang Hui said, "Do you have much free time lately? Take me for a walk around the ancient capital. I heard there are many secret realms related to the undead here. Isn't it exciting?"
"...It's quite exciting. But I don't have time." Yu Cang shook his head. "I have to prepare for the Combat Club's entrance exam. I have three duels to fight."
"The Battle Club?" Wang Hui blinked. "Why would we need to prepare anything for this? With your exaggerated combat prowess as a Sword Saint, wouldn't it be easy for you to defeat the Battle Club?"
"...I'm going to join the third-year combat club."
"Oh, a junior... huh?" Wang Hui paused, turned his head, and his eyes widened slightly. "Junior?... No, that's not right. Is the ancient capital's combat club so weak... Shouldn't juniors be level 5 soul card masters?"
"Yeah, so I have to get ready."
"...Wait a minute, if I remember correctly, you are my roommate, so we should be in the same grade, right?"
Wang Hui is a soul card master, and Yu Cang studies card making. They should not have been assigned to the same dormitory, but there was one extra person in the Card Making Academy that year, and it happened to be Yu Cang, who was assigned to Wang Hui's dormitory.
"In the imperial capital, we were in the same grade." Yu Cang said as a matter of course, "But in the ancient capital... I skipped a grade."
Wang Hui: "...That's not right. Even if you skip a level, you don't have enough time to practice. You're still a card maker, so you can't even reach level five in this timeframe, right?"
In the Soul Card Master Academy, it is normal to be promoted to level three in the freshman year. As long as you work hard in the sophomore year, it is not a problem to be promoted to level four. But by the time you are in the junior year, if you can be promoted to level five, you can be called an outstanding person.
If the Soul Card Master who spent all his time practicing was like this, how could Yu Cang, who had to distract himself from studying card making, reach level five faster than the Soul Card Master?
Yu Cang didn't explain: "Well... I broke through to level five, which should be a matter of a few days. You're lucky to have come early, otherwise you wouldn't be qualified to fight me."
Wang Hui: “…”
He hasn't even reached the fifth level yet.
There are many ways to insult people, and you don't have to do this.
When he thought about how he had just said in front of Yu Cang with such confidence, "I am a genius", he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and his expression was almost out of control.
"Haha... okay, you're quite a monster too." Wang Hui sighed, "When does the duel start? I'll go and take a look too."
Yu Cang grinned: "Tomorrow."
Wang Hui: “…”
…
the next day.
Yu Cang got up and cooked as usual.
suddenly.
“What the hell!!”
A high-pitched scream came from behind.
Yu Cang's hand shook and he almost threw the pot out.
Before he could react, he saw Wang Hui running towards him from behind.
"Yu Cang, Yu Cang!" Wang Hui danced with joy, "Hurry up and get up! A soul card master has sneaked into your house!"
Yu Cang's face turned serious: "What? Where?"
Other soul card masters?
Desolate Sect? Madam Yu?
Or a member of the Hunter Tribe?
For a moment, Yu Cang's brain was storming wildly and he kept thinking.
However, he was not very anxious. This place was quite close to the Ancient Capital University. If a battle broke out here, he would not have to send a message to Ren Zheng himself. He would come directly here when he sensed the fluctuations.
At this moment, Wang Hui's next words came out: "I just saw a dragon summoned beast at the entrance of your stairs! I've never seen one before, but it has a very strong aura and is definitely not a pushover!"
Yu Cang: "Oh, dragon... huh?"
All the speculations in my mind suddenly disappeared.
He raised his brows slightly, looked at Wang Hui, and said, "Isn't the dragon summoned beast you mentioned small in size and completely black? If you look closely, you can even see starlight through the gaps between its scales?"
"Um... I didn't look at it that carefully." Wang Hui frowned, "But now that you mention it, it seems to be true... What, is this the soul card of one of your enemies? Should we find a police officer or just..."
Wang Hui stretched out his hand and gently stroked his neck with his thumb.
Yu Cang: "..."
What's with the excitement in your eyes?
Are you pulling out of the scare a little too quickly?
"Hmm... the summoned beast you mentioned is called Ye Lai." Yu Cang pointed behind Wang Hui, "Look, it's right there."
"What?"
Wang Hui's pupils shrank, and he quickly turned around. The special card box had already unfolded on his wrist: "Yu Cang, go first. I don't know how many people are on the other side. I will hold them back!"
Yu Cang: "...Okay."
He pressed down Wang Hui's hand: "Don't be nervous... Let me introduce him, he is Ye Lai, and he is also my partner."
Wang Hui's face showed several question marks: "Partner?"
"It's a companion like the Weeping Girl." Yu Cang sighed and turned around and said, "Ye Lai, he is Wang Hui, an old friend of mine."
It turned out to be a misunderstanding.
Ye Lai did not stay in the card-making house yesterday, but went to the chaos for a while - probably to chat with Feng.
Therefore, it was normal for Wang Hui to be surprised that he didn't see Ye Lai.
"Hello, greetings to you at night."
"Um... hello, hello..." Wang Hui replied subconsciously, and then he realized, "Huh? Partner?"
"May wisdom be with you." Ye Lai left a wish and turned away.
For some reason, Wang Hui seemed to sense a hint of... pity in Ye Lai's eyes?
"Ye Lai praised you for being smart." Yu Cang patted Wang Hui's shoulder, "Okay, don't think about it. The meal is ready, come and help."
"Oh oh..." Wang Hui followed Yu Cang back to the kitchen.
Picking up the two bowls, he seemed to react: "That's not right... Wait a minute, Xiao Cang, didn't you say that the Weeping Girl cannot be copied?"
"Yes, the Weeping Girl cannot be copied." Yu Cang said as a matter of course, "But Ye Lai is not the Weeping Girl."
Wang Hui: “…”
He was silent for a moment, as if he had finally figured something out. "Good on you! Yu Cang! You really were lying to me, weren't you?! In fact, you've already mastered the mature technology of making card pets. You were just fooling me yesterday!"
"No." Yu Cang came to the table, "You can understand it as... similar to the evildoer you mentioned yesterday who can see spirits. The Weeping Girl and Ye Lai were both summoned by me from other places."
"Stop talking nonsense." Wang Hui put the bowl on the table and said, "The spirits he summoned are all stupid and dumb, how can they compare to you... Xiao Cang, brother, good brother, help me make a card pet, okay?"
“…Nighttime is also unrepeatable.”
"Then help me make one that is unique. I'll pay for it!" Wang Hui finally understood what Yu Cang meant by unique.
"Would I really lie to you... I really haven't reached that level of skill." Yu Cang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Don't worry, if I find the trick, I will definitely not forget you."
"Okay, I'm relieved to hear that." Wang Hui rubbed his hands. "Um...do you need funding for your project? I happen to have some spare cash and can help you out a little."
Yu Cang: "I'll reimburse you all."
joke.
The laboratory of the recipient of the Flame Emperor Medal.
Although the school did not explicitly state the conditions now, they were still the same as before, but he just had to speak up.
There is absolutely no cap on funding.
What's more, there is the relationship with Ren Zheng.
"Is that so..." Wang Hui was scratching his head anxiously when he saw that he couldn't spend his money. "Then...if I want to get a custom one, how much should I give you?"
Yu Cang smiled: "Okay...we'll talk about it later."
Wang Hui hasn't said how much the three Return of Dusk cost him, but Yu Cang knows it must be quite high... otherwise he would have said it directly.
Asking a high-level card maker to spend time and effort to cancel the self-restraint of his own soul card, and it is a rare card that can be easily seen through... This is equivalent to damaging his own interests.
If Wang Hui hadn't put up enough chips, the card maker would never agree.
"Brother, if you don't take my money, I won't feel safe."
"Stop talking nonsense."
…
After dinner, Yu Cang brought Qi'er and Wang Hui to the venue of the Ancient Capital Combat Club.
The entrance examination is held here.
At the gate, a boy was standing there, and it seemed that he had been waiting for her for a long time.
He was wearing a casual outfit, a white short-sleeved shirt and jeans. There was nothing eye-catching about him, but it was easy to remind people of the sunshine and beauty of his student days.
Seeing Yu Cang, he smiled, then took the initiative to step forward and said, "Excuse me, are you Yu Cang?"
Yu Cang nodded: "I am."
"Hello, I'm the president of the Fighting Club, my name is Wen Renge."
Wen Renge smiled and shook hands with Yu Cang.
Very friendly.
Yu Cang thought that his behavior of challenging others would be met with a lot of hostility.
"Hello, President Wen."
Wen Renge laughed, "Well... actually my surname is Wenren."
Yu Cang choked and said, "Uh, sorry, I'm illiterate."
"It's okay. Few people have heard of this surname." Wen Renge turned around. "Come on, let's go in. Teacher Qin and Lan Jun are already here."
Yu Cang's expression changed.
Lan Jun is his opponent today.
His deck is... Night Walk in the Garden!
It sounds similar to Wang Hui's deck, both of which are related to flowers, but they are actually very different.
On the way, Wen Renge said, "Yu Cang, I see you're still at level four, right?"
Yu Cang nodded: "That's right."
"Well...with all due respect, there are only two students in our Combat Club who are still at level four. This means that if you want to join the Combat Club, you will have to face at least one opponent at level five."
"It doesn't matter." Yu Cang smiled, "I'm about to break through too."
"I see. That's good."
When I entered the combat club, I saw a group of people resting on the side.
Yu Cang took a quick look and his eyes suddenly twitched.
This...what kind of scene is this?
Why do you all... have a thermos cup?
The scene before me was indescribably strange.
A group of young men sat in a row on the ground, each holding a thermos cup in their hands, with steam rising from it. Yu Cang could even smell the scent of wolfberry in it.
"Ah...haha." Wen Renge touched his nose, "Well...I don't know how these freshmen developed this habit..."
It’s actually very simple.
Jiang Lou and the other three have all joined the Battle Club, and with the advantage of their decks, they have successfully ranked among the top.
The three of them all had a thermos cup to soak wolfberries, so it was hard not to associate their strength with this.
Furthermore, the instructor of the Combat Club, Qin Yueran, always carries a thermos cup with him...
As the saying goes, what goes up must come down.
