Chapter 208: Battle Club Gathering
"You're having a party tonight." Wang Hui came to Yu Cang's side. He turned sideways and looked at Gu Jieshuang who was walking towards him. He nudged Yu Cang with his elbow and teased, "Not bad, brother. You've done something big without making any noise... Brother, based on my many years of experience, she must be a good girl."
"You're not even telling me."
"Okay, it seems I can't stay here for the next few days." Wang Hui laughed. "It's just right, I'm going to go find my own love... Come on, brother, I wish you a baby soon."
After saying that, Wang Hui left in a flash, not giving Yu Cang any chance to speak.
Yu Cang sighed helplessly. At this time, Gu Jieshuang had already walked over leisurely.
"Congratulations, boss~" She put her hands behind her back, "Now, do I have to call you 'senpai'?"
"Where did you learn all that?" Yu Cang smiled. "Just keep it the same as before."
"Got it, boss!" Gu Jieshuang smiled.
She turned and looked at the audience.
"Boss, are we having dinner tonight?"
"Yes, there is one."
"Then I won't bother you anymore." Gu Jieshuang's gaze lingered on Yu Cang's chest for a moment.
Hmm... I was thinking of giving the boss a hug after he won the game.
Ahem, there are still too many people here.
Gu Jieshuang's face turned slightly red, but she used her aunt's power in time, and a chill flowed through her body, calming her down.
"Let's go, boss...see you tomorrow then!"
"I will see the frost tomorrow."
"Uh-huh."
Gu Jieshuang walked out of the Combat Club, her expression gradually calming down.
Boss...you are really awesome.
The last time I met the boss, he was only level four and might not even be able to beat me.
Although I told my boss before that I could ask her to be my sparring partner when I had nothing to do, they had never actually fought each other.
They are all too busy. Not to mention the pile of things that Gu Jieshuang has to deal with, if Yu Cang wants to improve his strength, there are a lot of ways that are more efficient than sparring.
Gu Jieshuang is quite confident in her own strength. In her opinion, if she doesn't use the mechanical system and those legendary soul cards, it will be very difficult for Yu Cang to defeat her.
She wanted to wait until Cang grew to be her equal before fighting him. She wanted a fair fight, one where she wouldn't have to hold back, and she thought her boss and he probably had the same idea.
But now, Yu Cang was the first to break through to level five, which made her confidence suddenly shaky.
Oh no, it seems that now it’s the boss’ turn to release the water!
No, go back and try harder!
Once you reach level 5, challenge the boss to a duel! ...I don't think the boss will already be level 6 by then.
There seemed to be a flame burning in Gu Jieshuang's eyes.
She rarely sees anyone her age who can stand up to her head-on.
The boss is worthy of being the person I have chosen, he is really strong!
…
In the audience.
Xing Su looked over here from afar. Although he had expected it, he still took a breath when he saw the little actions that Gu Jieshuang took towards Yu Cang.
The gap between people is indeed terrifying.
He had pursued Gu Jieshuang before, but he had never seen her like this.
Not to mention Gu Jieshuang... In fact, he had never seen any girl treat him like this.
He was 1.9 meters tall and well-trained, giving him the appearance of a muscular man. He also used a deck called Skeleton Lich, which wasn't particularly handsome. He was also quite forthright and had a decent personality.
Over time, everyone became friends with him.
He had never seen such a scene before.
Sitting in his seat, Xing Su was silent.
Lost.
I lost... so completely.
"What are you thinking about?" Lv Zihe slapped Xing Su from behind, bringing him back from his lamentation. "Hurry up and go. Don't you know we have a dinner party tonight?"
"...Oh, okay." Xing Su looked at Lu Zihe in front of him, his expression constantly changing.
Well... I'm probably not the worst off.
I almost forgot, there is this person in front of me.
Don't be fooled by Lu Zihe's bald head, his height of 1.8 meters, wheat-colored skin, and figure like a Barbie doll, his behavior is quite gangster-like.
In fact, she is a girl.
The Fighting Club ranks second, and its strength is second only to Wen Ren Ge.
Xing Su sighed.
Fortunately, I am not the worst off.
…
After the duel, Wen Ren Ge brought Yu Cang and a group of people from the Combat Club to a restaurant called "Ancient City Cottage".
The decoration here is very exquisite. You can see some wooden decorations imitating ancient times. There is even a special landscape of winding water flowing on the first floor.
Ancient City House is a popular dining spot among nearby universities.
Qin Yueran, the instructor of the Combat Club, also came over.
He hadn't graduated for long and was still young at heart. His relationship with the other members was not stiff and they could get along well with each other.
Everyone took a seat.
"Yu Cang." Qin Yueran said with a smile, "Welcome to the Combat Club—there aren't many people in our third division to begin with, and you've already met most of the members here. So I'll just introduce you to those you haven't met yet..."
Qin Yueran's voice hasn't fallen yet.
A figure suddenly stood up.
"Teacher, let me introduce myself." Lu Zihe showed a sunny and reliable smile, and the light flashed across her bald head.
She looked at Yu Cang and extended a hand. "Hello, Yu Cang. I've long heard of you. My name is Lv Zihe, and I'm ranked second in the Battle Club! Wen Renge just told me that he might not be able to beat you, but I don't believe it. Let's duel when we get a chance!"
Yu Cang looked at Lu Zihe's body and couldn't help but feel awe.
He also stood up and shook Lu Zihe's hand: "Hello, I hope you will give me guidance in the future."
Lu Zihe's palms were rough and powerful. Perhaps, like Gu Jieshuang, she was also a melee soul card master?
Yu Cang thought so in his heart.
Come to think of it, he seems to have never sparred with a melee soul card master.
He did play often before the college entrance examination, but he was only level one or two at that time, and the deck construction was very different from now. His opponents were all a bunch of noobs, and there was no way he could use them as a reference.
Maybe after Gu Jieshuang breaks through level five, I can go and practice with her.
"Yu Cang, I heard you want to steal my spot in the individual event?" Lv Zihe's smile widened. She looked directly into Yu Cang's eyes, a fighting spirit blazing in her pupils. "Then come and give it a try. If you have the guts, squeeze me into the doubles event, hahahaha."
"No, I don't deserve it." Yu Cang said modestly.
Lu Zihe sat back in his seat.
Beside her, a boy turned around and looked at Qin Yueran, only to see Qin Yueran said unhappily: "Come on, Lu Zihe has introduced himself, you can do it yourself."
"Okay then." The man also stood up and extended his hand to Yu Cang, "Hello, my name is Wang Chu, and I'm ranked third in the club. I've seen all three of your duels. You're very strong, better than me."
"Where... let's have a chance to spar with each other." Yu Cang held Wang Chu's hand.
Wang Chu has a dark complexion, is neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, has very refined short hair, and his self-introduction is also unremarkable.
Hearing Yu Cang's words, Wang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Farewell... I'm not good at dueling, so I definitely can't beat you."
Yu Cang chuckled.
Not strong in duels, but ended up ranking third?
You're just trying to bluff me.
The combat club holds an internal assessment every once in a while. In this assessment, every member must compete with other members in turn. The ranking within the club is determined based on the data from this assessment and some daily training situations.
If you don't win three games in an assessment before the list is closed, you will be kicked out of the combat club.
In other words, Wang Chu's third place was won by relying on his own strength in duels one after another. How could it be possible that he said he was not good at dueling?
Seeing Yu Cang's expression, Wang Chu seemed to have expected it. He shook his head and said, "I really didn't lie to you... Forget it, I'll be honest with you. My deck doesn't have a theme, and the soul cards I carry are all spells I collected from all over the place, so... you know."
Yu Cang's expression changed.
Is that so... I didn't expect to see the "magic flow" in the combat club.
The spell flow probably cannot be considered a mature school of thought. It is just something that was forcibly put together by a group of spell enthusiasts.
The characteristic of this deck is that it does not contain any summoning cards and only relies on spell cards to suppress the situation.
Very handsome, but... basically no strength.
Compared to summoning cards, spell cards can often achieve the greatest effect in a short period of time, but the problem lies here - the duration of spell cards is too short.
After all, people have limited soul energy. You can use one soul energy to throw two Sunfire spells, causing a lot of damage. But as long as these two spell cards are not cleared, the remaining summoned beasts on the opponent can do whatever they want to you during your soul energy window.
As long as the summoned beast gets close to you, it's basically over.
Of course, the mental stress of pure spell casting was very low, which meant that soul energy recovered quickly, which theoretically allowed them to use spells frequently - but the risk was too great after all.
As long as the opponent plays tricks and tricks out the key spells, you will not pose any threat. In other words, your ability to resist risks is too poor.
In fact, the spell flow was also strong for a period of time in the past - before the silent round was born, the spell flow relied on soul overload + shield-breaking spikes to forcibly kill, and it once dominated the environment for a period of time. A well-operated spell flow could directly carry the duelist away with one encounter.
But... with the emergence of the Silent Round, the spell cards "Shield Breaker Spikes" and "Soul Overload" were both banned, and the spell flow has never recovered since then.
Those who are still using spells to duel probably do so just because they love it.
The place where spell flow is truly useful is on the battlefield.
With enough warriors providing cover, spellcasting soul card masters don't need to worry about defending against sudden attacks and can cast spells as much as they want... Some armies even have special soul card masters of this kind, and the entire deck operates just to release one or two big spells to play a strategic role.
In essence, it is similar to the corpse of the ancient demon, but on the battlefield, the spell flow is definitely more flexible.
If the Wang Chu in front of him was using magic... then he might not be being modest.
The upper and lower limits of the spell flow are very extreme. On the upper limit, if the opponent doesn't react, the battle may end in a wave of soul energy. On the lower limit...it may take several waves of soul energy to end the battle.
As expected, Wang Chu said, "Don't think that I'm third this month. In fact, in the last assessment when you weren't there, I was sixth... If the Combat Club hadn't been doing personnel transfers, I'd probably be kicked out in the next assessment."
"You are definitely still being modest." Yu Cang laughed.
What Wang Chu said is indeed correct.
The performance of spell flow is extremely unstable, and luck plays a big role in winning or losing.
At level 4, when everyone's decks are not very perfect, the burst advantage of spell flow can be well utilized. By throwing a few rounds of spells in the early stage, you might win inexplicably.
But when everyone reaches level five, the shortcomings of the deck are gradually filled, and it becomes difficult for the spell flow to win.
However, having said that, Wang Chu was able to occupy the third position with his spell-based deck, so he must have his own trump cards and is definitely an opponent that cannot be underestimated.
After the introduction, Wang Chu sat back in his seat, and the next member stood up consciously.
"Hello Yu Cang, my name is Mo Ran, and I'm ranked fourth in the Battle Club."
Mo Ran showed a very sunny smile.
He was wearing a turban, had fair skin, and was wearing jeans and a white shirt. He looked like a classic sporty guy.
"Hello, please give me your guidance in the future." Yu Cang shook his hand. "Let's learn from each other when we have the chance."
"I don't care." Mo Ran shrugged. "I've seen those battles. I'm definitely no match for them. I've already laid down, waiting to watch you and Boss Wenren fight each other."
Yu Cang smiled.
The atmosphere in the combat club seemed a little different from what he had imagined.
He also thought that in the Combat Club, especially in a department like the third department where competition was very fierce, there would be at least some tension between the members, if not just dislike for each other.
As a result, the atmosphere was harmonious, and several members were unexpectedly humble.
He was new here, so shouldn't he be given some sort of show of authority? He'd assumed he'd have to show off a few of his skills to get through tonight's party peacefully.
Isn't that how it's written in novels?
After the three people finished introducing themselves, Qin Yueran clapped his hands and said, "Okay, you should be familiar with the others, so I won't introduce them to you."
At this time, the ordered dishes have been brought to the table one after another.
"Okay, stop standing there and eat quickly."
Before Qin Yueran finished speaking, Xing Su had already stretched out his chopsticks.
It can be seen that he is not polite at all.
Everyone started to eat. At this time, Qin Yueran looked at Yu Cang and said, "Yu Cang, since your goal is the college league, let me tell you some necessary precautions.
"The college league has three events: singles, pairs, and team. In our battle club, the top two players will compete in the singles event, while the remaining players will participate in different events based on their decks.
"I know your goal is the individual competition, but let me be clear. If you don't place in the top two, the Fighting Club will arrange for you to participate in other events. You can't just leave."
Yu Cang nodded naturally: "Of course."
There is still half a year left before the college league. If he can't create a deck that crushes the same generation in this half year, it would be a shame to this golden finger.
"Also," Qin Yueran added, "the combat club has daily training, but generally speaking, these trainings are only mandatory for freshmen and sophomores. As for juniors... you can come or not. I know you must have better ways to become stronger. Anyway, as long as you come, I will definitely cooperate here.
"However, you don't have to come to daily training, but you must come to the Combat Club training. The school will fund the Combat Club's trips to some secret places suitable for combat. You can't disappear then."
Yu Cang nodded: "Okay...but I'd like to trouble Teacher Qin to tell me the time in advance so I can prepare early."
"Okay, I know you must be busy."
Qin Yueran didn't look surprised at all, because he hadn't forgotten that Yu Cang was also a master of card making.
Someone like Yu Cang must have been crazy about participating in various activities and projects in college. Maybe after a few days of not seeing him, Qin Yueran would see this award and that honor on Yu Cang's personal terminal entry.
Although Yu Cang's terminal entry is already luxurious enough now.
He is not even worthy of commenting on the recipient of the Flame Emperor Medal.
Therefore, Qin Yueran did not expect to see Yu Cang a few times in the combat club... In short, it would be fine as long as he could come at the critical moment.
"Okay, that's about it... Hurry up and eat, or these brats will eat it all up soon."
…
Next, the normal party process will follow.
While eating and drinking, Yu Cang gradually became familiar with this group of old members.
We are all young people, so there will be no generation gap in communication.
Soon, the party ended successfully. Yu Cang said hello to everyone and walked towards his card-making room.
"Yu Cang!"
He heard someone calling him from behind, and when he turned around, he found that it was Wen Ren Ge.
"President?" Yu Cang smiled. "What's the matter?"
"Ah... I have something to ask you." Wen Ren Ge ran a few steps quickly, came to Yu Cang, and walked side by side with him on the road.
He raised his head, his gaze lingering on the streetlight for a moment, and suddenly said, "I heard... Duan Feng from the imperial capital is coming to fight you?"
Yu Cang's expression changed slightly: "Hmm...that's true."
"Do you two have a grudge?"
"A little bit."
"Ah, then I think I understand why you insisted on participating in the individual event." Wen Renge chuckled. "Now that Duan Feng has come here to fight you ahead of time, doesn't that mean he's settling your feud early?"
"It's still early." Yu Cang looked at the road ahead.
Only after the major overhaul of the military did he learn about the four major families in the imperial capital’s plan to target Duan Feng.
A mythical history, quite good.
However, he unilaterally felt that it would be meaningless if the history of mythological deification had always been smooth sailing.
Let him add some spice...the college league will be a good stage.
Since the Duan family was the mastermind behind the incident, he certainly couldn't let their plan go smoothly.
Wen Renge didn't know what Yu Cang was thinking. He just kept smiling: "Tsk... To be honest, I've been treating Duan Feng as an imaginary enemy for a while, but I didn't expect that you would fight him before me."
"Then I'll talk to him then and let him fight you first, while I gather intelligence."
Hearing this, Wen Renge laughed out loud: "Forget it, they must have a purpose for wanting to fight you, I don't have that much face... When is the duel?"
“Next week.”
"I should be able to watch, right?"
"what ever."
