Chapter 249 The Road to Thawing
"In that case..." A look of thought flashed across Ning Xingyi's eyes.
Then, he took back the soul card carrying the sword intent from Gu Jieshuang's hand.
"Since you can directly use the sword intent in the soul card... then I will give you a sword intent." Ning Xingyi said, "Xiao Cang, you two will stay at my place for the next few days. I will improve this sword intent and treat it as a gift for our first meeting."
Sword intent is a very personal thing. Ning Xingyi has lived for most of his life, but this is the first time he has seen someone like Gu Jieshuang who can use the sword intent of others.
From this perspective, this sword intent can probably be considered a special soul card for Gu Jieshuang. It can be added to the deck normally and used normally in battle... So just give her such a soul card.
The soul card with sword marks engraved on it that Ning Xingyi gave to Gu Jieshuang just now was too rough after all. He just made it casually. If he really wanted to use it as a gift, he would have to carve it carefully.
"Ah? This, this, this, this is not good..." Gu Jieshuang waved her hands quickly, "No, no, it's too much trouble for you..."
Ning Xingyi is a top swordsman, but at the same time, he is also a top national card maker!
The soul card he made with his own hands... no matter what quality it is, its value will probably not be less than tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions... No, even if he has this much money, he probably can't buy it.
"Hey, don't be too happy too soon." Ning Xingyi regained his smiling expression, "This soul card is not for you, it's for Xiao Cang. I owe Xiao Cang a favor, and this soul card alone can't repay it... Xiao Shuang, if you want it, you have to ask Xiao Cang privately."
"I understand..." Gu Jieshuang glanced at Yu Cang and found that he was also smiling. She could only bite her lips lightly and nodded to show her acceptance.
It seems that I owe my boss more money... When will it end?
etc.
Gu Jieshuang reacted.
She raised her head and found that there was a strange smile on the corner of Ning Xingyi's mouth.
"Please ask Xiao Cang privately"... Wait, what do you mean!
I don’t know what he was thinking about, but Gu Jieshuang’s face turned visibly red.
She hurriedly called her aunt, but her aunt was sleeping.
Ning Xingyi shook his head slightly, chuckled a few times, and then looked at Yu Cang: "Xiao Cang, my original mission was to let you experience a little danger and then rescue you... Now it seems that there is no need for me to take action at all. This Ruins No. 8 is not dangerous for you at all... Hehe, then my mission is completed. How about going back with me?"
"No." Yu Cang shook his head. "To be honest, this is only our second day here, and I haven't experienced many places yet... Senior Ning, I will definitely come visit you after I finish touring here tomorrow."
"Then I'll wait." Ning Xingyi laughed.
…
night
Yu Cang went into Gu Jieshuang's tent.
"Ah?" Gu Jieshuang was stunned, and then her face turned slightly red.
She had taken off her coat and was only wearing a bra, exposing her tight waistline and white arms.
"Wait, boss..." Gu Jieshuang subconsciously covered his chest.
At this time, Yu Cang had already come up and grabbed Gu Jieshuang's arm.
"Boss! This is outside..."
"Hurry, Jie Shuang, tell me your technique of sensing the star level!" Yu Cang's eyes were full of excitement.
"Ah...ah?" Gu Jieshuang's body froze.
She turned her body stiffly, and then she saw that behind Yu Cang, Qi'er was holding a small doll, blinking her big eyes and looking at her obediently.
The eyes of the little doll were empty, as if it was just an ordinary doll, but Gu Jieshuang could clearly see the mockery in them.
Gu Jieshuang took a deep breath.
"Okay, boss, you take a seat first..."
In fact, she was already calling for her aunt frantically in her heart.
"Tsk..." Frost Wings curled her lips, but she seemed to know that nothing would happen in this situation, so she simply released bursts of cold air to help Gu Jieshuang calm her mind.
Finally feeling the familiar cold air, Gu Jieshuang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She walked aside, calmly put on a coat, and then turned around.
"Actually, I came to this realization vaguely," Gu Jieshuang said. "At the time, I was outside the ruins... I couldn't enter the Starry Sky Vision Zone, and I was very anxious. Then, I suddenly remembered the feeling of using the 'Star Rank Contract', and tried to see if I could sense the star ranks of the passage to the other world."
She sat in front of Yu Cang. "Then, a sudden flash of enlightenment seemed to strike my mind. Then, I saw... a lot of stars. They seemed to connect into a tunnel, extending all the way to a star at the end. Although I had never seen that star, I could confirm almost instantly that it was my destiny star."
"You sensed the destiny star directly?" Yu Cang said.
"Yes."
"Then what can you see in the Starry Sky Vision?"
"I can see... lots of stars, as well as the shadow of the world, and the princess's spirit..."
"Can you see Cadence?"
"That's not possible."
A look of thought flashed across Yu Cang's eyes.
It seems that the way Gu Jieshuang entered the Starry Sky Vision was different from the way Yu Cang and the others entered the Starry Sky Vision.
They entered the starry sky field of vision with the help of the sight of their own star, observing everything from the perspective of their star.
And Gu Jieshuang... just because he sensed the channel between the Soul Energy Well and the Life Star, with the help of this channel, Gu Jieshuang sent his vision into the starry sky vision.
Of course there is a gap.
The reason why Yu Cang can see the rhythm of all things in the starry sky vision is because the vision of the destiny star directly hits the origin. Gu Jieshuang's own vision naturally does not have this effect.
Here, Gu Jieshuang could not see any rhythm, nor was there the "single room" state where there was only one life star in the sky. He could only see the sky full of stars and some shadows in the present world.
Of course, Gu Jieshuang can also see the highly solidified rhythms such as identifying beasts and insects, or the Jieying Campus.
This method... had its pros and cons. Not being able to see the rhythm meant Gu Jieshuang could stay in the Starry Sky Vision almost indefinitely without worrying about his brain being overwhelmed by the information flow. But besides that, the Starry Sky Vision's most important function of seeing all the rhythms clearly was gone.
But, in this case.
Yu Cang's eyes lit up.
If Gu Jieshuang can use the Star Rank to reach the Starry Sky Vision, then can others also...
He quickly called the princess out of the card box.
"Does your empire have the technology to allow people to teleport within the Starry Sky Vision?"
"Ah... yes." The princess was suddenly called out, still a little dazed, and looked like she had just been sleeping. "But, that requires a lot of spirit particles... What do you want to do?"
"If I give this kind of teleportation device to everyone in Yan Country, or to the military, wouldn't that mean that no matter where the military is, they can get in touch instantly?"
"Well, that's the theory." The princess glanced at Gu Jieshuang. "In fact, even in the Empire, not many people can enter the Starry Sky Vision. They can be called high-level talents. But Yu Cang, your girlfriend seems to have found another way... From my previous contact, this method of entry should be related to the 'Soul Energy Well' unique to your race. It can be considered a technology unique to your civilization."
"That's great!" Yu Cang clenched his fist.
Means of communication have always been one of the important factors restricting Yan Country's exploration and development.
Apart from anything else, Ye Yan was now wandering around, incredibly far from Blue Star. Every time Yan Nation tried to communicate with him, it would consume a huge amount of resources, and they couldn't even get in touch in real time. If this technology could emerge, just being able to contact Ye Yan at any time would be powerful enough!
As for other uses, they are countless - for example, the fragments of the Netherworld Heaven. The current speculation is that the Desolate Sect may be hidden somewhere deep in the Netherworld Heaven. However, the Netherworld Heaven is now too fragmented, and the passages between each fragment are unpredictable. The way out may disappear as soon as you step in.
As long as there is a slight change in the space channel, the people exploring ahead can be considered unable to come back - because of the space separation, there is actually no good means of communication and positioning.
But if there is this kind of transmission technology within the starry sky vision, this situation will be greatly improved.
Another point is that the Jieying Library envisioned by Ren Zheng also possesses the last technology - in the future, people with teleportation devices can enter the Jieying Library from anywhere in Yan Country, which is extremely convenient.
"Don't be too happy too soon." The princess clearly knew what Yu Cang was thinking. "This technology relies heavily on the flow of spirit particles. With the few spirit particle generators I have now, it's still a long way to go before I can create a stable consciousness teleporter. And even if I could, teleporting within the Starry Sky Vision Field would place very high demands on the teleported person. Those with weak willpower might even die during the process."
"Is that so..." Yu Cang's enthusiasm faded a lot, "Okay... then we'll take it slow."
Sure enough, limitations still exist.
My idea is indeed too beautiful, but I should be more pragmatic.
"Then..." Yu Cang thought for a moment, "Since the Star Rank of Sensing All Things is an advanced skill of Synchro, then in your opinion, what effect can this skill have on Synchro Summoning?"
"In theory," Gu Jieshuang explained, "as long as I can sense the star level and the ownership belongs to me, I can use it as material for star adjustment. For example..."
Gu Jieshuang stretched out her hand, and a soul card shattered in her palm. Then, layers of ice condensed in her palm, forming a long sword with a chilling aura.
"For example, I made this sword using the spell card 'Ice to the Bone'. Now, I can sense its star rank and can use it as a material for Synchro. Even the cold wind summoned by 'Cold Wind Grip' can be used as a material... but I can't do that yet."
"I don't quite understand the rules here, but for now, it seems that this kind of tangible thing will be easier."
"Is that so..." Yu Cang blinked.
Huh? So... I can synchronize with tokens?
——It's you! Xiangjian!
Yu Cang suddenly smiled with relief.
He stroked his chin, and inspiration seemed to come to his mind.
It seems that the frost-breaking deck can really be strengthened in the direction of summoning sword-type derivatives.
With her aunt around, the sword-shaped derivatives can be used as ready-made combat power as long as they are summoned. They can also be flexibly matched according to the battle situation and different swords can be synchronized.
It sounds cool!
Yu Cang's eyes lit up.
Yes, after you go back, you can match a deck for Jie Shuang according to this direction!
"Uh..." Gu Jieshuang waved her hand in front of Yu Cang's face, "Boss? Is there something wrong?"
"It's okay..." Yu Cang looked at Gu Jieshuang, "I just had some inspiration... After we go back, I'll make you a custom deck."
"Huh?" Gu Jieshuang was stunned. Looking at Yu Cang's serious expression, she didn't say anything. She just nodded lightly and responded.
The debt is going to increase again...it doesn't matter at this point...
"Oh right." Yu Cang continued, "How did you...begin to borrow Feng's 'Sword Intent'?"
He also watched these two duels closely, and he already had his own understanding of the so-called "sword intent".
Probably, the card maker's understanding of a certain rhythm has reached such a deep level that he has completely solidified this rhythm under his control, and added a lot of his own will, spirit, perception and other personal qualities to it, mixing it into an extremely special rhythm.
It is equivalent to having an extra soul card that can be used at any time. You can activate it by just finding a carrier.
"It was also through the Star Rank—actually, it was Senior Feng who took care of me." Gu Jieshuang was a little embarrassed. "Senior Feng's sword intent had no defenses against me at all, and he even made many arrangements to facilitate my understanding, so I was able to connect... But my understanding is still too shallow, and the power I can exert is very limited."
"Once you fully understand the sword intent, will you be able to use it?"
"This... No, I'm just a soul card master and I don't have that kind of means." Gu Jieshuang shook his head.
Yu Cang thought about it and roughly figured it out.
This is actually like the difference between Feng and Ye Lai.
Feng possessed similar skills to Ning Xingyi, possessing his own sword intent that he could infuse into other objects. However, Ye Lai was different. Although his understanding of the power of light and darkness was as thorough as Feng's, he was only a dragon and lacked the skills of a scholar.
If Yu Cang could create a high-level soul card with light or dark attributes, Ye Lai could easily unleash the full power of this card, because he understood power perfectly enough to control it. But if there was no soul card, then Ye Lai would not be able to create something out of nothing.
But Feng could—as long as Yu Cang gave Feng a real name, Feng could summon his sword intent to a certain extent. Although he would most likely still be restricted by his body, he could indeed draw on powers other than the Soul Card.
Gu Jieshuang is now like Ye Lai. She has gained some understanding of Ning Xingyi's sword intent from those two moves, so she can make use of the power of the Sword Scar Soul Card.
But even if his comprehension of this sword intent reached Ning Xingyi's level, or even if he later comprehended his own sword intent, he would not be able to reach the level of Ning Xingyi who could inject it into everything at will.
"But don't be discouraged," Yu Cang comforted him. "Feng told me that he's not a scholar either, but he still possesses this kind of power. Jie Shuang, there must be some method that can allow you to reach this level."
"Well, don't worry, boss. I won't worry about it." Gu Jieshuang laughed.
"That's good." Yu Cang nodded.
He made up his mind that when he returned to the ancient capital, he would have a good talk with Feng about this matter - from what he saw today, Feng seemed to be very willing to help Gu Jieshuang.
"But Boss, this state is actually quite good, it has its own advantages!" Gu Jieshuang seemed to have thought of something, and moved closer, saying, "I can sense that Senior Ning Xingyi only has one sword intent. This sword intent condenses all his spirit and will. Although this makes him more powerful, it also limits the senior's ability to comprehend more sword intent.
"But I'm different. As long as I find the sword intent and reach a qualified level of comprehension, I can use it directly, no matter how many kinds I have!"
Yu Cang's expression changed.
That’s true - when you think about it this way, not being a scholar doesn’t seem like a bad thing?
However, this fighting style was a bit too extreme... How should I put it? Judging from Ning Xingyi's reaction, there seemed to be very few people on Blue Star who had comprehended the sword intent, or even he was the only one.
In this case, collecting multiple sword intents... is a bit too difficult!
Feng, the second person who mastered the sword intent, was restricted by his real name and had no way of making soul cards.
Yu Cang was silent for a moment.
Go back and try using the entry recorder yourself.
But it must be said that once this fighting style is formed, its intensity is absolutely terrifying.
Yu Cang could already imagine the scene of Gu Jieshuang standing with a sword in hand, with countless swords and sword intents floating behind him.
"Not bad, Jie Shuang." Yu Cang smiled gently, "You're following very closely... I just closed the gap, and you caught up with me."
"Hehe!" Gu Jieshuang raised her eyebrows, her expression becoming much more arrogant. "Of course! Boss, don't underestimate me. You never know when I'll have you under me again!"
"Alright." Yu Cang stood up. "That's all I want to ask... When we return to the ancient capital, you must not hide anything. You must teach me the technique of sensing the star level."
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
"Then I'll go back first. You should get some rest early."
"Yeah, good night, boss~"
Yu Cang took Qi'er away, and in an instant, the tent seemed to be much emptier.
Gu Jieshuang watched Yu Cang's figure disappear, and then stood there in a daze.
The aunt's strength gradually disappeared from her body, and Gu Jieshuang's face turned visibly red.
"hateful……"
…
After returning to the tent, Yu Cang was stunned.
At this moment, two figures were standing at the door of his tent.
Seeing Yu Cang, Zhong Lin immediately became excited. He walked forward and bowed deeply: "Master Yu Cang! Thank you so much... If it weren't for you, my brother would have been... Zhong Qi! What are you standing there for? Come over here and thank Master Yu Cang!"
"I'm coming." Zhong Qi walked over, his expression much more sincere, "Thank you, classmate Yu Cang..."
"That's enough." Yu Cang was at a loss for words. "Zhong Lin, didn't Zhong Qi tell you? The princess only wanted him to complete the trial. Even without me, there's no need to worry about his safety."
"No, how can that be the same?" Zhong Lin said seriously, "You saved Ah Qi, that's an indisputable fact!"
"Okay then." Yu Cang could only agree, "Just make it clear in advance, thank you and forget it, don't think about repaying anything. We do know each other, so it wouldn't be nice to be too polite."
He felt weird about accepting longan powder from Guluo before, and now he couldn't find a chance to return the favor, so he explained it in advance this time.
"How can this be possible? Then, then..."
"Alright, alright, it's settled." Yu Cang turned to look at Zhong Qi and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, your brother is quite strong. His performance in the ruins was amazing."
“…No way.” Zhong Qi felt a little guilty.
His performance was simply like showing off in front of Cang.
However, looking at Yu Cang's eyes, he took a deep breath and said, "Yu Cang, you want to participate in the college league too, right?"
"Yes."
"Well then... we'll have another good fight then!" Zhong Qi's eyes brightened.
With the Lingzi Flow... as long as he practices well, he may not lose to Yu Cang!
Yu Cang smiled: "Okay, I'll wait."
