Chapter 196 Preparation, Ancient Dragon Stone
It is worth mentioning that Yu Cang has extracted the entry of Starry Sky Vision.
The entry extraction is complete, and the legendary entry is obtained: [Knowledge Realm], the epic entry: [Scholar], the rare entry: [Connection], and the common entry: [Gaze]
In addition, Yu Cang extracted the entry for Jieying and also obtained a legendary entry:
Obtain the legendary entry: [Haina], epic entry: [Race: Beast Knowledge], rare entry: [Giant Beast], common entry: [Giant]
The entries are all good. Yu Cang has made some new attempts on these new entries in the past few days, but has not obtained anything useful.
What he needs now is a soul card that can help him fight against level five... It is best if the soul energy consumption is not high.
It sounds a bit far-fetched.
The soul energy limit of a level 5 soul card master is twice that of a level 4 soul card master, which means that the suppression power that Xing Su can cause in the early stage will be more than twice that of other level 4 opponents. Yu Cang's deck happens to be a relatively weak type in the early stage. If he is not careful, Yu Cang may lose directly in the early stage.
As long as he can survive the early stage and his combat power is stronger than that of the terminal monsters in the later stage, he will definitely not be afraid.
Even if Xing Su can pull out multiple epics with the fifth-level mental pressure limit, in terms of combat effectiveness, he may not be able to match Yu Cang's black and white dragon.
Yu Cang rubbed his chin.
If he remembered correctly, Gu Jieshuang once said that Xing Su's deck was Skeleton Lich.
Judging from the name, it is a very typical undead deck, but I don’t know the specific deck construction.
There are many such card decks related to the undead in the ancient capital. After all, there are many dangerous tombs here, and the related rhythms are the easiest to obtain.
Yu Cang went to ask Gu Jieshuang again if he had any information about this deck.
Gu Jieshuang said that the battle of this deck will revolve around a soul card called "Ghost Box", and the Ghost Box will always be present like a ghost puppet.
Yu Cang thought for a moment and typed:
So, as long as I get rid of the Dead Souls' Chest, that's all that's needed?
Not long after, Gu Jieshuang replied:
-
No... the Dead Soul Crate cannot be dealt with, and if you're not careful, it will make the battle more complicated.
-
Oh, actually I don’t know much… I fought with Senior Xing Su before, but I was still very weak at that time. I went straight for the Soul Box and ended up getting beaten badly.
-
He must be stronger now, so my experience is probably of no reference value.
Looking at Gu Jieshuang's reply, Yu Cang seemed to be thinking about something.
The core of the deck is the Dead Souls Crate, but removing the Dead Souls Crate will actually cause more trouble? -
It doesn’t matter. Tell me about Xing Su’s fighting style. It’s better than nothing.
-
Yeah, okay! ...
Yu Cang listened carefully to Gu Jieshuang's explanation of Xing Su's deck and asked a few more questions. Gu Jieshuang then hurriedly ended the conversation.
She is still in the treatment center and doesn't have much time to use her personal terminal.
After finishing the chat, Yu Cang looked at the information recorded in the notebook in his hand and began to think.
This information cannot be fully adopted.
The soul card master's deck will be constantly iterated and upgraded, especially since Xing Su is a member of the combat club, the speed of deck updates will only be faster. The battle between Gu Jieshuang and Xing Su took place a year ago, and the weaknesses exposed in that battle must have been made up for by now.
If he fought according to the information provided by Gu Jieshuang, he would definitely lose miserably.
However, what is certain is that Xing Su's deck is also a strong deck in the mid-to-late game.
In this way, perhaps in the early stages, his suppression of himself would be smaller than expected.
As long as you prepare some useful soul cards, you may be able to fight against opponents of higher levels.
Yu Cang began to combine the entry formulas.
But his luck was not very good. He tried several formulas in succession, but they either failed or were far from what he expected.
"Forget it, let's go to the lab first." Yu Cang stood up.
Wang Hui was sleeping upstairs, so Yu Cang ignored him. He simply locked the door of the card-making room and rode away on his tricycle.
The lab is much quieter now.
Seven days passed. Although most researchers were still confused, at least Professors Guan and Hu had mastered the method of independently entering the Starry Sky Field, and Yu Cang also successfully deciphered the channel to the other world and made a replica.
From now on, those researchers will be able to enter the Jieying campus in their own laboratories.
To be honest, their learning speed was much slower than Yu Cang had expected.
It was also because his starting point was too high. He mastered almost everything related to the Starry Sky Vision right from the start, so he didn't think it was difficult at all. But those researchers were different. They all had to start from scratch, and the learning process was very painful.
Yu Cang estimated that even the most basic free entry and exit would take them a long time to study, not to mention condensing a rhythmic body, which was simply a distant prospect.
Fortunately, with Jieying there, Yu Cang doesn’t need to keep an eye on them all the time.
As long as they don't enter the Starry Sky Vision Area outside of the Ancient Capital University, they will be safe.
When Yu Cang arrived, Lin Yunqing was sitting on a chair with a slight frown on his face, obviously having entered the Starry Sky Vision Area.
Yu Cang did not disturb her, but went straight to the "Wishing Wall", picked up a pen, and began to check if there were any new questions on it.
At the beginning, he could handle the above questions easily, but now, he had to think carefully about the questions raised by Lin Yunqing, and even used the entry recorder to answer them.
But today's wishing wall is a bit strange.
In addition to Lin Yunqing's familiar note paper, there were some other handwritings on it.
It's those researchers.
It can be seen that they have been very serious in imitating Lin Yunqing's handwriting, using exactly the same sticky notes, and trying their best to hide themselves in a pile of sticky notes in an attempt to get away with it.
Yu Cang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Your imitation is nothing like the original!
He took a quick glance and found that the questions posted by these researchers were indeed difficult, but it was not so difficult that Yu Cang was at a loss for ideas.
Then let’s answer it.
In fact, Yu Cang also enjoys answering the questions on the notes.
Because he doesn’t know the answers to many of the questions above, and this is also a learning process for him.
Yu Cang took out a blank soul card and a formation writing pen, looked at the question on the wall, and thought for a while.
…
Xing Su's deck wasn't like Wang Hui's, which focused on the underworld, nor was it like Lan Jun's, which focused on interference. His deck was similar to Yu Cang's, and it was the type that relied on direct confrontation to win.
Yu Cang is now wondering whether he should resolve the battle quickly in the early stages or try to delay it to the later stages.
It was true that Xing Su was not very strong in the early stage, but after all, he had twice as much soul energy as himself, so it was not difficult for him to defend himself even if he used human wave tactics.
But if it drags on to the later stages... Xing Su's level 5 mental pressure allows him to maintain multiple epic cards on the field. Although he is very confident in his epic cards, being ganged up on... doesn't seem to be a good idea.
However, he can equip the two attributes [Endless] and [Jedi], and obtain powerful abilities that are not inferior to those of a level 5 soul card master with just one click.
[Endless] can speed up Yu Cang's soul energy recovery. Although the upper limit remains unchanged, it is not much different after entering combat. The effect of [Jedi] is even more abnormal. It can prevent Yu Cang's mental stress from exceeding the limit. In the past, it could even sustain the legendary Ye Lai Yu Cang. Now, it is easy to maintain several epics.
But... it seems a bit bad to cheat so blatantly.
Before level six, everyone's soul energy well data is not much different. The fact that you suddenly stand out so much clearly tells others that there is something wrong with you.
Yu Cang would not always be equipped with [Endless] and [Jedi]. It would be difficult for him to explain this matter if others asked him about it in the future...it would be troublesome.
What's more, he felt that it was just a beating of a student, so there was no need to cheat so obviously.
"So..." Yu Cang took out a blank soul card. In front of him, the soul cards in the Light and Shadow Dragon deck were placed on the table, lined up in a row.
"Hmm... Let's try this first..."
…
An afternoon passed and Yu Cang still had no results.
I did get some pretty good soul cards, but I don't think they were particularly helpful in the battle.
The operation of the Skeleton Lich's deck is related to the death cooldown. He really wants to make a soul card that can seal the graveyard, but he can't do it.
That's right... Even if that kind of soul card exists, it is unlikely to be rare, or even epic.
Before he knew it, it was already night. Yu Cang picked up his personal terminal and saw that Wang Hui had woken up and was clamoring for him to bring him food.
Yu Cang rubbed his brows and sighed.
Well, it seems there is no point in staying in the lab any longer, so let’s go back first.
Yu Cang pushed open the door and saw that Lin Yunqing was still sitting in front of the computer. The only light source in the whole room was the computer screen.
He walked forward and turned on the light.
"Senior?" Lin Yunqing turned around, "Are you going back?"
"Yeah." Yu Cang nodded. "Yun Qing, working in the dark is bad for your eyes."
"I'm used to thinking in the dark." Lin Yunqing put down the information in his hand and looked up. "However, if it was the senior who advised me - I will pay attention next time."
Yu Cang shook his head helplessly: "Your body is your own, just be aware of it."
"I will." Lin Yunqing stroked his glasses. "By the way, Senior, you seemed very troubled this afternoon?"
"Yeah." Yu Cang rubbed his neck. "In a week, I have to fight a level 5 Soul Card Master. I'm not sure about my chances of winning against a higher-level Soul Card Master."
Lin Yunqing crossed her fingers and looked at Yu Cang's expression.
After a while, she said, "Regarding the battle, I'm sorry I can't give you much advice."
"It's okay, I can find a way myself."
"However." Lin Yunqing's expression changed slightly, "Senior, you seem to care too much about winning or losing."
Yu Cang was stunned: "Care about winning or losing? ...Isn't that what should be done?"
As a soul card master, you participate in a duel, not caring about winning or losing but about something else.
Lin Yunqing shook his head. "What I mean is—you're too focused on absolute victory. Senior, you seem to be trying to find a way to guarantee victory by creating new Soul Cards. I believe you have the ability to do so, but in many cases, it can also bring you unnecessary pressure."
Hearing this, Yu Cang was stunned.
Lin Yunqing continued, "Senior, if you can't find a way to counter it, you might as well choose to trust your own deck."
Yu Cang looked at Lin Yunqing's serious expression, his expression changed slightly, and finally, he suddenly smiled.
"Where did you learn these words?"
Believe in your own deck or something like that... Is this really something someone like Lin Yunqing, who has never fought before, would say?
Lin Yunqing just said calmly:
"Gu Jieshuang."
"Okay." Yu Cang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I understand... Thank you, that does sound good."
Lin Yunqing showed a faint smile on his face: "I'm glad I can help you, senior."
"Then I'll go...and you shouldn't be too late."
"I'll pay attention."
Yu Cang walked out of the laboratory and stretched.
Too.
Even if he had an entry recorder, he was still very weak and did not have enough entries, so it was impossible for him to deal with every situation.
Even if there is no card to restrain it, his deck is not that weak. He can still beat a level 5 opponent at level 4.
Thinking of this, Yu Cang returned to the card-making room.
"Yu Cang! You're finally back!" Wang Hui wailed as he walked down from the second floor. "I almost starved to death in your card-making room!"
"Come on." Yu Cang raised the plastic bag in his hand, "I bought you fish ball soup. If it's not enough, order takeout."
"That's so nice, brother!"
…
At night, Wang Hui wanted to play poker with Yu Cang, but seeing that Yu Cang had already sat in the inner room and started studying the soul cards, he could only shake his head, said "I'm going out to play", and left the card-making room.
Yu Cang didn't care. With Lin Yunqing's suggestion, he decided to shift his focus from finding the soul card that could restrain it and focus on upgrading the deck itself.
Having said that, it seems true that even after gaining the Starry Sky Vision, he has not yet delved deeply into the rhythm of the Dragon of Light and Shadow.
This time, let’s take a closer look.
With the help of the star's vision, the rhythm of the Light and Shadow Dragon deck is clearly visible before Cang's eyes.
At a certain moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside Yu Cang.
"Feng?" Yu Cang was stunned. "Did I exceed my working hours again?"
"...Not yet." Feng's expression was calm. "Summoner, I can take part in the battle in a week."
Yu Cang blinked: "A week later... Feng, it was just a duel with a classmate."
"It is my duty to achieve victory for the Summoner."
Feng's face was calm, but Yu Cang could tell that Feng said this only out of his duty as a summoner, not out of any desire to fight.
So he said, "Don't worry, Feng. You don't need to take action in this little duel."
Feng's expression changed slightly: "He is better than you."
"But I will win."
"...Okay." Feng said nothing, he nodded, "You can call me to fight at any time - Good night, summoner."
"Good night, Feng."
After saying that, Feng turned around and returned to the chaos.
Yu Cang looked at Feng's gradually disappearing back.
He knew that Feng had not yet fully accepted him. He was not his comrade-in-arms or partner, but just one of his summoners, perhaps no different from his former summoners.
Even Feng responded to his call, probably only because he had been in chaos for too long and was itching to fight.
Because of the relationship with the summoner, Feng will obey his orders and will not disobey. But if Feng wants to leave, without the restraint of his real name, Yu Cang will not be able to keep him.
Therefore, Yu Cang now doesn't want Feng to participate in too many battles that he doesn't want to fight.
To put it simply, Yu Cang plans to find an opportunity to improve his favorability first.
"No rush." Yu Cang smiled, "We will experience many more battles together."
…
In the next few days, Yu Cang's life became repetitive.
Every day I go back and forth between the card-making room and the laboratory.
In fact, with Jieying helping him deduce the rhythm, it didn't matter much whether he went to the laboratory or not. However, the laboratory was a place dedicated to work after all, and studying soul cards there did feel different from being in the card-making house.
In the past few days, he has completely mastered the Light and Shadow Dragon deck. After the attribute recorder cools down, he will try those few attributes to see if he can make a soul card that can restrain Xing Su.
Although the restraining soul card was not produced, Yu Cang already had many ideas on how to upgrade the light and shadow dragon in his hand.
He fully understood the principle of infection by the Plague Beast.
Later, Yu Cang also had many soul cards that could add [Scale Plague] to the target. By comparing them with each other, the principle of this ability was not difficult to understand.
Originally, the [Infection] of the Plague Beast allows the control of the opposing target that has obtained [Plague] to be transferred to our side when the dragon scales reach the upper limit, but this ability can only be triggered by [Plague] caused by [Infection].
Just like the [Scale Plague] caused to the surrounding area after the death of the Saint of the Breach, it does not have this effect.
This worry no longer exists because in Cang's deck, any ability that can cause [Scale Plague] can be directly used when the dragon scales of [Scale Plague] reach the upper limit.
However, this ability is a bit difficult to transplant to other soul cards, and Yu Cang has not extracted the relevant entries, so it is not of much use for the time being.
The Saint of the Formation's ability to record information in dragon scales gave Yu Cang a lot of inspiration. One day, he thought of the boundary of the monument in Nether City and suddenly created a very useful soul card:
Soul Card Name: Ancient Dragon Stone
Category: Summon Card
Quality: Rare
Attribute: Earth
Race: Creature
ability:
[Dragon Relic]: When on the field, it can activate the dragon scales on the field. Summoned beasts within a certain range of the dragon scales will gain [Scale Plague] and [Dragonborn] after a certain period of time.
…
This is a good soul card. As a rare creature, its soul energy consumption is very low and the proportion of mental pressure is also very weak, but the effect it produces is very strong, and it can help Yu Cang get a large number of dragon scales.
And the most important thing is - after Yu Cang simulated in Jieying's body, he found that this soul card could actually be used as the fusion material of Hua Gulong!
