Chapter 265: Jungle Crown Prince, Jiang Lou's Obsession
boom!
The thick and square rocks fell from the sky, giving people a great sense of security.
When this soul card is summoned, the current entire tube of soul energy must be used up, and the durability will be increased unlimitedly based on the amount of soul energy invested.
Simply put, the blood is extremely thick.
However, aside from having a lot of health, this card has no other abilities. Therefore, in the past, due to this characteristic, the Palace Test Stone was generally used to test the attack performance of Soul Cards.
And today, this card will reveal more functions!
Yu Cang had created the Palace Examination Stone with Yingcao's ability a long time ago. However, even with Yingcao's ability, this card is a bit useless when put into a Yingcao deck - this card is too bulky and consumes too much soul energy. If it only adds one more layer of Yingcao's ability to the field, it is not worth it and it will hinder the rhythm.
But if it can move...all these shortcomings can be overcome!
Jiang Lou's eyes fixed, and he immediately activated [Sky-reaching]. Vines sprouted from the ground and spread along the Palace Examination Stone. However... there seemed to be too few vines, and there was no way to completely cover the Palace Examination Stone.
"What?" Jiang Lou was stunned. "A single seed can't activate [Heavenly] on the Palace Examination Stone..."
On the side, Yu Cang thought for a moment, and then said:
"Jiang Lou, summon the 'Fluorescent Tree of Undoubtedness' and use its seeds to activate the Palace Examination Stone."
“Oh…I understand!”
Click!
The shadow of the soul card spread out above the earth, and lush ancient trees rose from the ground. As the leaves danced, a bunch of green fluorescence fell.
The Fluorescent Tree of Innocent is a rare card in the Yingcao deck. Although it has no attack power, this soul card can provide the [Yingcao] effect equivalent to three or four Yingcao summoned beasts, and the soul energy consumption is not that high, which is much more practical than the previous Palace Examination Stone.
After summoning this soul card, Jiang Lou scratched his head and turned to look at Yu Cang: "Master, this..."
The problem is, now, he seems unable to get the seeds of the fluorescent tree of innocence.
[Rebirth] The summoned beast can only leave a seed when it dies. It cannot be obtained by canceling the summon.
However, when it becomes the material for a link summon, it can trigger the effect and leave behind seeds.
And death... Now there is a towering stone, a palace examination stone, and a fluorescent tree on the field. The accumulated effect of [Yingcao] is already quite strong. It is difficult to kill the fluorescent tree within the range of this effect.
At least Jiang Lou himself can't do it.
Yu Cang had anticipated this. He handed Jiang Lou another soul card and said, "Use it."
Jiang Lou quickly took it, took a quick glance, and his eyes lit up.
This is another new Yingcao link!
Soul Card Name: Yingcao·Jungle Crown Prince
Category: Summon Card
Number of anchor points: 1
Quality: Connection
Attribute: Wood
Race: Humanoid
ability:
Rare or above Yingcao summoned beast*1
[Yingcao]: When there are other friendly summons with the [Yingcao] ability within a certain range, vitality will slowly recover. The more [Yingcao] summons there are, the faster the recovery speed.
[New King's Naturalization]: When the Jungle Prince is present, Creatures affected by the Yingcao Seed gain [Natural Selection] and abilities based on the seed type. Units connected to the Jungle Prince gain [Guardian]: When the Jungle Prince is attacked, they take half the damage.
[King Seed]: Upon the death of the Jungle Crown Prince, a "King Seed" is left behind. This King Seed cannot be revived, but can absorb unlimited [Glow Grass] abilities. While this King Seed exists, all of the owner's Glow Grass summons gain increased attack power and attack speed.
…
This is another new Yingcao Soul card!
It looks very powerful, and all three abilities are quite practical full-field buffs. The Creator Clan itself has enough "blood volume", and with the ability provided by [Naturalization of the New King], is there really anyone who can kill it?
Here is a reminder that [Natural Selection] can greatly reduce the damage of the same type received by the summoned beast within a short period of time after being attacked!
Once this effect is achieved, it is simply like being immortal.
Restraining his excitement, Jiang Lou immediately raised his hand and activated the Jungle Crown Prince.
"I set a connection anchor point with the Fluorescent Tree of Integrity and summon: Yingcao Jungle Crown Prince!"
Click!
A burst of electronic sound came from the fluorescent tree of innocence, and this ancient tree collapsed inward under the influence of a mysterious force, turning into a torrent of information!
The torrent of information kept spinning, condensing, and shrinking. After a certain limit, a young humanoid summoned beast wearing green armor emerged from the torrent of information. Its right hand was placed on the hilt of the sword at its waist, and its left hand was raised high. The torrent of information condensed on the anchor ring on its left wrist, forming an anchor point.
The anchor ring slowly rotated, and suddenly a bright light appeared above the anchor, which meant that the anchor was now connected.
The object of connection is the towering stone of Yingcao!
After connecting with it, half of the damage suffered by the Jungle Crown Prince will be absorbed by the towering stone, greatly enhancing his ability to survive.
In fact, according to this ability, the most suitable one to be the [Guard] should be the Palace Examination Stone with a huge amount of health, but unfortunately, the Palace Examination Stone is not a connecting summoned beast and cannot be connected to each other, so we have to give up.
The Jungle Prince lowered his arms and opened his eyes. In the wooden eye sockets was a carved eyeball. For some reason, the wood grain on his face always gave people a very noble feeling.
With its appearance, the seeds of the fluorescent tree of innocence have been planted underground.
"What a handsome summoned beast!" Jiang Lou's eyes suddenly lit up.
To be honest, the Jungle Prince’s fashion sense is definitely not low.
It wears a suit of emerald armor with dark gold lace on the edges, which is more like a ceremonial armor than a combat armor. It may not look good in battle, but you have to admit, it is really handsome!
Furthermore, the other soul cards in the Yingcao set, such as the Archer or the Sword and Shield Soldier, are not tall. It is obvious that there is a certain height difference between this race and humans.
However, the Jungle Crown Prince has an excellent figure and extraordinary bearing. Even among humans, he is still a handsome guy.
Who wouldn’t love such a handsome and powerful summoned beast?
Soon, under the influence of multiple [Yingcao], the seeds of the fluorescent tree of innocence were fully charged, and Jiang Lou immediately activated [Cantian]!
Suddenly, thick vines broke out of the ground. Compared with them, the vines left by the Yingcao archer were nothing but thin dogs.
In the blink of an eye, the vines had covered the entire Palace Examination Stone, and then all the vines exerted force together, and huge cracks spread across the surface of the Palace Examination Stone. It seemed to come alive, and the cracked parts turned into limbs and fell to the ground. After a few heavy landing sounds, a burly giant slowly stood up from the ground.
He...
The rock giant stood still, and a sense of oppression came over him. Its body was covered with vines, which were shaking and scattering green spots of light, looking extremely dreamy.
This is exactly the effect of the ability of [Naturalization of the New King].
When the Jungle Crown Prince is present, the creatures activated by the Firefly Seeds will gain certain abilities depending on the type of seeds.
The seeds on the Palace Examination Stone came from the Fluorescent Unconfused Tree, and what it gained naturally was the ability to spread fluorescent grass light balls.
Like the towering stone next to it, the vines on its body come from the seeds of the archer, and the ability it gains is... the vines can emit some small spikes, which do not cause much damage and are purely a bonus.
The towering stone is a little thinner, while the palace examination stone is simply huge.
"Invincible!" Jiang Lou clenched his fist excitedly.
Through the connection of the Soul Energy Well, he could clearly sense the abundant vitality of the Stone Giant of the Palace Examination... With such a summoned beast appearing on the battlefield, who could possibly contend?
The panel is extremely high and it can also recover health. With this guy, he dares to compete with the black and white dragons in the Light and Shadow Dragon deck!
Ahem, apart from Master Yu Cang's Light and Shadow Dragon deck, he knew that he couldn't really beat the master's deck...
"How do you feel?" Yu Cang asked.
"I'm fine!" Jiang Lou's eyes lit up.
"Really?" Yu Cang looked up and said, "If you can't hold on, forget it."
"Master, I still... cough!"
Before Jiang Lou could finish his words, he coughed violently, and the summoned beasts on the field turned into soul card fragments and shattered.
The Towering Stone, the Palace Examination Stone, and the Jungle Crown Prince were present at the same time. Although the mental pressure of the Creation Clan was not high, the seeds in the [Towering] state also required mental pressure.
Jiang Lou is now overwhelmed with mental stress.
In this state, if you just do nothing, you can hold on for a while, but if you try to control the summoned beast to move, you will be immediately attacked.
It is precisely for this reason that the undead warriors who can move independently are so powerful.
After Yu Cang confirmed that Jiang Lou was not seriously injured, he turned his attention back to the data on the computer.
Now it seems that if you want to achieve the maximum field, call out the undead warriors at the same time, and ensure their combat capabilities... you probably have to wait until level five to do it.
Combining Yingcao with the Creator Clan here was also Yu Cang's sudden idea.
After discovering the new characteristics of the Creation Clan, he has been thinking about how to better develop it - there are quite a lot of points that can be developed with this new characteristic.
Just like here—although [Yingcao] isn't a spiritual ability, the Yingcao seed contains all the information about a summoned beast, including its spiritual power. Furthermore, the ability [Cantian] has certain spiritual properties, and once it's transmitted to the Creator Clan through the seed, it can be activated!
You can even kill cow monsters.
There is one more thing - in this case, after the Creator Clan is activated, the [Heavenly Sensing] they obtain is exactly the weakened version of [Yingcao]!
Only about half of it is effective, but it is strong enough.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Jiang Lou's face turned pale and he fell to the ground seriously injured. "Damn it, why did I become weak so quickly? I clearly drank so much wolfberry water..."
“…” Yu Cang was silent for a moment.
You don’t really think that wolfberry can improve stress tolerance... Does wolfberry itself know that it has this function?
On the ground, Jiang Lou took a long time to calm down, and finally he calmed down. He stood up with his eyes shining.
"Master, you're too strong!" Jiang Lou clenched his fists. "I never thought that I would be unable to use the Yingcao suit because I couldn't bear the mental pressure..."
Just take the garbage build of the Yingcao set... a bunch of common-level ones, two or three rare-level ones. Even if there is a Jedi Knight and an Undead Warrior who can take up the main responsibility, they can only survive at level three or four. When everyone reaches level five, they still can't escape the fate of being lost in the crowd.
After all... with just one undead warrior, you can't even fill the mental pressure of a level 5 soul card master, let alone play in a high-end game.
Seeing Yu Cang busying himself with other decks after making the Undead Warrior, Jiang Lou was anxious, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he knew that Yu Cang was really busy.
Now, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The fact that mental stress can be utilized to this extent speaks volumes.
This summoning method called connection is so powerful. It is not only cool, but also perfectly suitable for the Yingcao deck!
Moreover, once these two cards are out, Yu Cang will not have to worry about the subsequent enhancements. He can just go and collect the soul cards of the Creation Clan himself. With his financial resources, what can't he buy from the Creation Clan?
"It's okay." Yu Cang also nodded, obviously very satisfied.
Today, testing the Yingcao set is still one aspect, mainly to see if ordinary people have any problems with the use of the connected soul card... Obviously, the answer is yes.
Speaking of which, link summons are indeed very close to Yingcao - mainly because link summons do not consume any additional soul energy. Summoning link1 is equivalent to a mindless one-for-one exchange, and it can also perfectly trigger the characteristics of Yingcao to leave seeds in place. It is simply too suitable.
"Master, let's continue!" Jiang Lou said with a fearless look on his face, "I can still hold on!"
"No need." Yu Cang shook his head. "I'm very satisfied with the test results. I'll give you three of each of these two soul cards. From then on, you can figure out how to match the cards yourself."
"That's it...Okay, thank you, Master!" Jiang Lou was a little disappointed, but he quickly cheered up. "Then, Master, is there anything else you need me to do? Just leave it to me!"
Speaking of which, it has been a long time since I last came to the laboratory.
On the one hand, it was almost the end of the semester, so it was not easy to skip classes. On the other hand…it was difficult for them to get involved in what Yu Cang was doing.
Not even worthy of being a guinea pig!
"Nothing... actually." Yu Cang paused for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Jiang Lou with an amused smile. "Come to think of it... I haven't asked you why you're so obsessed with the Yingcao Trap. As a child from a wealthy family, you should have had many choices when you were young."
"This..." Jiang Lou was stunned. He didn't know why, but his expression suddenly became strange, as if he was a little ashamed.
But he soon returned to normal, coughed lightly, and said seriously:
"Master... I once made a promise with an old friend - I would become the strongest user of Yingcao and discover new possibilities in Yingcao decks." A trace of desolation flashed in Jiang Lou's eyes. "It's a pity... he's gone now. Otherwise, he would have been even more excited than me to see you, Master."
Upon hearing this, Yu Cang immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.
He sighed, looking somewhat guilty, patted Jiang Lou's shoulder, and said, "My condolences, don't be too sad... Don't worry, I will help you."
"Ah?" Jiang Lou was stunned. "Master... my old friend is not dead... He just joined the army. After all, the army is the best place for the Yingcao suit to be used... It's a pity that my father didn't let me join the army, otherwise I might have followed him."
Yu Cang was suddenly choked.
Then why are you so lonely?
"But!" Jiang Lou immediately smiled. "Master, I heard everything. You have to help me! Don't cheat!"
"...Okay, okay, okay." Yu Cang sighed helplessly.
Looking at Jiang Lou, who was gloating over his success, he suddenly realized something and blinked: "Wait, this old friend you're talking about... is a girl?"
Jiang Lou's body suddenly froze.
"that……"
"Yes or no!"
"Ahem, yes." Jiang Lou touched his nose. "Master! Don't tell anyone else. I'm only telling you this... Well, actually, I was pursuing her but she didn't agree. I got so angry that I said, 'If I can beat you with your deck, you have to marry me.' Unexpectedly, she actually agreed...
"Then, after I started using the Luminous Grass deck, I discovered that this deck is truly fun to play, the cards are adorable, and defeating the enemy brings me an unprecedented sense of accomplishment... So now, I've completely fallen in love with this deck. Maybe this is fate."
Yu Cang: "..."
You are so good, Jiang Lou. After all this time, you are still in love.
Wait, don’t you always brag about being a seasoned love expert?
Well... a veteran in the love field met a woman who ignored his charm, and ended up being captured by her, right?
So cliché.
Yu Cang chuckled.
"Jiang Lou," he said earnestly, "Take my advice. If you want to reach the pinnacle of Soul Card Masters, it's better to stay away from women."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Lou's eyes widened.
Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
You and Sister Shuang are so affectionate with each other all the time, how dare you say that about others?
"But Master, Gu..." Jiang Lou opened his mouth but chose not to say it.
If he said it out loud and it reached Sister Shuang's ears, he would probably suffer the same treatment as Qiu Ding did in the past.
At the beginning, Qiu Ding was given a double duel shield and was repeatedly beaten by Sister Shuang... Now Sister Shuang is level five. If he provokes her again, won’t the duel shield be at least ten times stronger?
I can’t bear it.
"What did you say?"
"It's okay!" Jiang Lou shook his head repeatedly. "That Master... To be honest, Wang Changzhi has been acting really arrogant lately, relying on his new Soul Card. I'm going to teach him a lesson right now!"
"Oh?" Yu Cang became interested.
He also wanted to see what kind of deck Professor Guan had created for Wang Changzhi after so many years of research.
"Okay, call me when you duel. I want to watch."
"No problem!" Jiang Lou agreed, then turned around and disappeared.
…
After Jiang Lou left, Yu Cang sat on the chair and fell into thought.
It now seems that the connection summoning has been almost perfected and can be regarded as a complete achievement. It will no longer be a problem to cope with the summit in a few days.
If Old Man Ren could really make that card according to his ideas, the effect would definitely be better.
However, that card was just a crude prototype in his mind, and he himself didn't know if he could make it, so Yu Cang didn't have high hopes for it.
So next... I finally have time to look at my own deck.
Yu Cang took out his main deck from the card box and placed it on the table.
By the way, after returning to the ancient capital this time, the Soul Energy Equipment Academy sent a new card box.
Different from traditional card boxes, this card box has a special "extra card set" slot.
After Yu Cang announced the synchronization, it affected not only the soul cards, but also the soul energy tools. Now, the Soul Card Master Association has issued corresponding regulations and changed the standard card box format.
From now on, Yu Cang's extra deck will no longer need to be squeezed together with the main deck, which will also improve the retrieval speed.
So...how do I change my deck?
Yu Cang fell into deep thought.
In fact, Yu Cang has never stopped trying to change his main deck.
Basically, whenever he has some free time, he will pick a few entries to try implanting.
There are some gains, such as the chance of more dragon scales dropping, the chance of dragon scales self-destructing, and even... I randomly got a "colorful dragon scale skin". Although this dragon scale skin cannot add any abilities to the dragon scales, it can give them cool light effects, which is very cool.
However, this is not what Yu Cang wants... Dropping more dragon scales is fine, but relying on probability to win the duel really makes Yu Cang feel uneasy.
There are also some ability systems that look bloated just by looking at them.
Its ability to operate can be roughly seen as:
In order to eliminate rats, he sold rat poison for money to buy a bird trap. After catching a bird, he used the bird to exchange for a cat at the pet market. Then he went to the grocery store downstairs to steal some millet to feed the cat, and let the cat catch rats.
There is a kind of abstract beauty.
