Chapter 210 Battle against Gu Jieshuang
The next day, Yu Cang got up and hurried to the laboratory.
Combining with dragon scales allowed Yu Cang to see new possibilities for upgrading the deck. Before finding those possibilities, he still needed to do some experiments.
Lin Yunqing didn't come, probably because he was still exercising.
So Yu Cang first went to the wishing wall to answer a few questions as usual, and then went straight to the experimental area.
He couldn't find anyone trustworthy enough to use the Light and Shadow Dragon deck right now, so he had to make this experiment himself.
After turning on all the instruments in the laboratory, Yu Cang stood at the edge of the field and threw out two soul cards.
The gray-white half-dragon and the sword of judgment!
The poor gray-white half-dragon was killed as soon as he appeared and turned into three dragon scales.
Yu Cang looked carefully.
The combined dragon scales look no different from ordinary dragon scales, but if you look closely, you will find a faint vortex-like cyclone lingering around the combined dragon scales. During the rotation, it will suck some light spots in the air, and no one knows where it will be sucked to.
Yu Cang thought about it briefly.
"Direct fusion..."
In his perception, these dragon scales, which could originally only respond to other abilities, now had an additional active ability - [Fusion].
In that case...
Raising his hand, Yu Cang flicked the card box and summoned a second gray-white half-dragon.
Then, he directly activated the power of the combined dragon scales!
"I summon: Half-dragon Black Scale Guard!"
Buzz!
As soon as Yu Cang had a thought, a dragon scale on the field flew up tremblingly. The swirling cyclone around it suddenly expanded and became clearer, instantly enveloping the gray-white half-dragon man!
Roar!!
A powerful roar erupted on the field, and the fusion vortex gradually faded, revealing a ferocious half-dragon with unicorn horns. Its skin was dark, even gleaming with a faint metallic sheen. In its hands, it held a massive pitch-black tower shield, which, when held upright, could completely block its entire body.
After changing the fusion material from the gray-white dragonborn to the gray-white half-dragon, the Black Scale Guard's ability has been greatly improved. Now it can even withstand the attack of epic summoned beasts head-on for a short period of time, and the number of dragon scales dropped after death has become four.
You know, this is just a product summoned by a white dragon man and a dragon scale... Before, it required a dragon costume, but now, it can be pulled out directly using the power of the dragon scale itself, which further saves soul energy consumption.
Just like a normal fusion summon, after the Black Scale Guardian was summoned, all the soul cards used as materials were sent to death cooldown, including the dragon scale.
There is no compromise in the summoning process!
It seems that this summoning method is very similar to the direct evolution of a true dragon cub using dragon scales, but there is still a big difference.
The evolution of the True Dragon Cub, although the manifestation is very different, is essentially still a higher-level summoning. The dragon scales and the True Dragon Cub are both sacrifices, but now the combination of dragon scales is a real fusion summoning.
Although the higher summon is a little behind the fusion summon, it actually has its advantages.
This summoning method is a skill, a rule for using soul cards. That is to say, if the opponent uses a soul card to invalidate the ability of the True Dragon Son, making it unable to actively activate [Son], but as long as Yu Cang has a deep understanding of the upper-level summoning, he can directly force the True Dragon Son and dragon scales as a sacrifice to pull out the black and white dragon.
Because the essence of the soul card master's own ability is to summon the soul card. Aside from some special soul cards that are highly mandatory, the soul cards that can be summoned have various summoning conditions in order to reduce the difficulty of the summon.
As long as the soul card master is strong enough, he or she can complete the higher-level summoning by forcibly establishing a connection with skills and soul cards without relying on these summoning conditions.
This situation often requires the soul card master to pay more sacrifices or consume more soul energy, but at a critical moment, it can also be the key to turning the tide.
Young soul card masters would call this situation "the bond with the deck!"
In comparison, fusion summoning is more dependent on spell cards. If the opponent has the means to invalidate the fusion spell card, the summoning cannot be carried out, and the bond will be useless.
But... this is also because this summoning method has just appeared and has not yet been sufficiently developed.
Now, combined with the appearance of dragon scales, Yu Cang saw a glimmer of hope in turning the fusion into a skill.
Just a little bit more.
Yu Cang rubbed his chin.
Although this summoning method no longer requires a fusion card, the dependent object has become the dragon scale. If the effect of the dragon scale is invalidated, it still cannot be summoned.
Somehow, Yu Cang seemed to have grasped some key point, but he couldn't summarize it.
This feeling is quite uncomfortable.
He even turned on the Starry Sky Vision, but still couldn't find a clue.
Suddenly, Yu Cang felt a flash of inspiration in his mind. He took out a soul card from the card box and placed it in front of him.
It was the corpse of the Dark Flame Dragon Emperor that had been restored to an unknown material state!
Just now, he seemed to have found a possibility on this soul card, but the time was too short, and when he tried to think about it again, he had no clue anymore.
"What is it..."
Yu Cang frowned slightly.
He had created this corpse of the Dark Flame Dragon Emperor for some time, but he had not found the corresponding fusion material.
During this period, he also collected some soul cards of the undead, but without exception, he ended in failure.
If you can't find the materials, you can't summon it. Even if Yu Cang can add patterns that can use dragon scales instead of materials, he must first know the regular materials before he can use dragon scales instead.
Therefore, this soul card can only gather dust for now.
But just at that moment, when he was thinking about how to turn the fusion summoning into a skill, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, as if the opportunity to successfully summon this soul card was hidden in his current deck!
However, this inspiration lasted too short a time and disappeared before he could grasp it.
Yu Cang rubbed his brow with his fingers.
As a card maker, inspiration is generally not an illusion, which means that he must have some way to directly summon the corpse of the Dark Flame Dragon Emperor!
After thinking hard for a long time, Yu Cang still had no clue.
"...Well then." Yu Cang calmed himself down.
Although this feeling is uncomfortable, I can't think of it no matter how hard I try, so I'd better let it go.
Yu Cang started testing again.
He slowly accumulated dragon scales, and used the power of combining dragon scales to summon several of his fusion summoned beasts one by one.
Domain Dragon, Sword Saint, Flower Ancient Dragon.
The summoning went very smoothly, and the summoned beasts did not suffer any loss in strength.
Yu Cang was very satisfied with the result. After all, this meant that he could directly save a spell card in actual combat. The saved soul energy was the key to a comeback in many cases!
During the summoning process, Yu Cang kept the resonance open, and even entered the Starry Sky Vision from time to time to take a look. So when he summoned all these summoned beasts, he had almost figured out how this combination of dragon scales was reflected on the soul card pattern.
This pattern was a bit convoluted, and it was difficult to understand it if one relied solely on resonance. Even entering the Starry Sky Vision Field, one could only get a rough idea of it. Fortunately, Cang had a complete rhythmic body, and this rhythm could be directly seen to the deepest level. So, he soon mastered the method of drawing this rhythm.
The difficulty of drawing is acceptable. With Yu Cang's current level, it is enough to transform the dragon scale-related abilities of all soul cards in his deck into combined dragon scales.
In this way, you only need to bring one copy of Dragon Costume - bringing one copy is to prevent the dragon scale ability on the field from being negated.
In addition, this new soul card pattern gave Yu Cang more inspiration.
Since the ability of fusion can be integrated into dragon scales, can other abilities be done in the same way?
For a long time, in the Light and Shadow Dragon deck, the role of dragon scales was just a sacrifice, but now, with the Saint of the Breach recording information on the dragon scales and the combination of dragon scales instead of fusion, perhaps the role of dragon scales can be far more than that.
Yu Cang gave it a try - it was actually possible, but too many abilities would make the soul card patterns bloated, and the soul energy consumption would also increase sharply. If he wanted to achieve some good results, he would need more attempts.
He took out a pen and paper and wrote down some of his thoughts in a notebook, then sat aside and fell into thought.
From the beginning, the inspiration to summon the corpse of the Nether Flame Dragon Emperor has been lingering in my mind.
It seemed that as his experiment progressed, summoning the corpse of the Nether Flame Dragon Emperor became easier and easier... He had just summoned all the fusion summoned beasts. Was there anything that could affect the summoning process?
Yu Cang sighed.
I'm really annoyed by the feeling that something is right next to my head but I just can't catch it.
Can't you be more straightforward?
"...Maybe my understanding of fusion isn't deep enough."
If you want to organize the fusion into a technique, inspiration alone is probably not enough.
Your own understanding is equally important.
He waved his hand and cancelled several soul cards on the field.
When I turned around, I found that Lin Yunqing had been standing there for a while.
She had been looking at the data recorded in the computer. When she saw Yu Cang finished the experiment, she turned her attention to him.
Lin Yunqing said, "Senior, if I'm not mistaken, the Fusion Summoned Beasts you just summoned didn't use Fusion Soul Cards."
"Hmm... not really. I just integrated the fusion power into the dragon scales."
Lin Yunqing: "...Grandpa Guan Qingrui would be devastated if he knew about this."
They are still exploring the fusion drawing method over there, but you have already started to play with fusion in various ways.
Yu Cang laughed. "By the way, I haven't seen the two professors for a few days. How are their progress now?"
"Grandma and Grandpa Guan Qingrui can now freely enter and exit the Starry Sky Vision Zone, but if they want to stay there for a long time, they still have to rely on the power of the World Shadow. However, condensing the Rhythmic Body is a bit difficult, and there is no progress at the moment. Only Principal Ren has condensed a fingertip, but the principal doesn't seem to have any experience to teach, so we still need to explore on our own."
"Very good." Yu Cang nodded.
This is also expected.
Although Starry Sky Vision is very effective, it is also very difficult to practice. Although the existence of the Jieying Campus has greatly accelerated the practice speed, the progress is still not fast enough.
The most important thing is that Yu Cang couldn't give them much useful guidance for something that relies on comprehension.
In the following time, Yu Cang continued to try some possibilities of upgrading the deck.
In the past few days, Yu Cang has also looked for some things to extract entries, but there are not many useful entries.
The attributes of those two fusion soul cards are quite good.
The entry for Buried Bluestone·Flower Ancient Dragon is:
Epic entry: [Ancient], Rare entry: [Dream Spirit], Common entry: [Sleeping]
The entry for the Nether Flame Dragon Emperor Corpse is:
Epic entry: [Soul], Rare entry: [Hellrock], Common entry: [Race: Undead]
…
"Boss!" Gu Jieshuang came to the laboratory excitedly, "Boss, I have also broken through to level five!"
Yu Cang raised his eyebrows, and then a smile appeared on his face, "Really? Congratulations."
"At least I didn't fall behind too much, boss." Gu Jieshuang chuckled, then suddenly said, "Boss, let's duel!"
"Oh? You must have just reached level 5 not long ago. Have you completed your deck yet?"
"Not yet, but... before that, I want to test the boss's strength first, so that I can target him when I perfect my deck!"
Yu Cang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, that's fine too."
"By the way, my roommate wants to see us duel, is that okay?"
"It's okay. I don't mind."
"good!"
…
It just so happened that Yu Cang didn't have any urgent matters to deal with right now, so he could fight with Gu Jieshuang.
Arena No. 7.
Yu Cang and Gu Jieshuang stood at the two ends of the arena. Two rays of light fell from the sky, adding duel shields to them.
In the audience, Nong Weiran and the other two sat side by side, staring at the two people on the field.
Zhou Qingqing looked a little curious. She asked, "Hey, who do you think will win between the two of them?"
Nong Weiran: “…I don’t know.”
Jiang Ya clenched her fists and said, "It must be Shuangshuang! Just wait and see, Shuangshuang is invincible!"
Nong Weiran clicked his tongue and said nothing.
She is also very curious now, which of these two dogs... no, these two people is stronger.
Although Yu Cang ranked first in the college entrance examination, everyone was still very immature at that time, and the card decks were not systematic, so they actually had little reference value.
Moreover, even during the college entrance examination, Gu Jieshuang and Yu Cang were not in the same examination room, so they cannot be directly compared.
With this thought in mind, the duel on the field has begun.
…
Click!
A soul card was turned over at hand, and Gu Jieshuang reached out and pulled out a long sword with a chilling aura from it.
Equipment Card——Frost Sword!
If she were at level four, just activating this equipment card would use up all of her soul energy, but now that she has reached level five, she still has a lot left.
So Gu Jieshuang stretched out his hand and three soul cards appeared behind him.
On the opposite side, Yu Cang had already summoned two gray-white half-dragons.
Gu Jieshuang raised her eyebrows: "Boss, be serious, I won't hold back!"
Yu Cang smiled and said, "Don't worry, just come at me."
“Take that!”
Gu Jieshuang took a step forward, and his speed reached the extreme in the blink of an eye!
Normal melee soul card masters need to constantly use some buff-type spell cards to increase their physical fitness during battle, but as a mixed-blood, Gu Jieshuang's basic physical fitness is already very strong, which makes it almost impossible for her to find an opponent at a low level.
Once he entered combat mode, Gu Jieshuang seemed like a different person. All the expressions on his face disappeared, as if he was a piece of unmelting ice.
At this moment, the two soul cards behind her were turned over——
Spell Card: Chilling Wind! Bitter Frost!
Click!
The broken soul card fragments turned into sparkling crystal ice chips in the blink of an eye, circling around the frost-white sword in Gu Jieshuang's hand. Within a few breaths, a freezing storm formed!
Yu Cang took out a soul card and was about to activate it when suddenly, he felt a flash before his eyes.
A ray of light came from nowhere and reflected on the blade of the Frost White Sword, flashing into his eyes.
clang!
At this moment, Gu Jieshuang suddenly sped up and thrust out a sword silently. A cold wind followed and wrapped around the frosty white sword, as if it had a layer of sword energy attached to it!
brush!
Yu Cang seemed to sense something and turned sideways. The next second, the cold wind swept across his cheeks, and fine ice chips kept hitting the duel shield around his face.
Nong Weiran's eyes lit up.
As expected of Shuangshuang, she suppressed Yu Cang right from the start!
From where she stood, Gu Jieshuang's sword actually controlled the constantly swirling storm into the form of sword energy, which directly pierced through a gray-white half-dragon man, and still had enough energy to attack Yu Cang.
If Yu Cang hadn't dodged quickly, this battle might not have been worth watching.
Bang!
The storm dissipated and Yu Cang's vision returned. He looked at the field with a slightly raised brow.
"Not bad, Jie Shuang."
At this time, one of his gray-white half-dragons was covered by a thick layer of ice and could not receive any of his orders.
"Boss, be careful."
