Chapter 266 Duel, a mixture of death and life!
KODO University, Arena No. 7
In the audience, Yu Cang, Gu Jieshuang and Lin Yunqing were sitting there, looking into the venue.
Yesterday, after testing the Yingcao connection card, Yu Cang has been studying how to strengthen his deck.
In fact, Link Summoning can also be a very suitable means of reinforcement for your own deck.
But if that happened, Yu Cang would have to focus on modifying his method of obtaining dragon scales. This would be a lot of work and no results would be produced for the time being.
It happened that Wang Changzhi and Jiang Lou scheduled the duel for the next day, so he came to watch the duel to calm down.
Gu Jieshuang was also free, so she came along. As for Lin Yunqing... like Yu Cang, she was also curious about the actual combat of the connection and Wang Changzhi's new fusion card.
"Master!" a voice came from the side.
Yu Cang looked over and saw that it was Qiu Ding, who had also come over.
Yu Cang smiled and was about to say hello when he saw Qiu Ding's expression opposite him suddenly became aggrieved.
"Master... I heard from Lao Jiang that you helped him strengthen the Yingcao deck... Master, when will it be my turn?"
Originally, Wang Changzhi was having a hard time winning, but now looking at the situation... Jiang Lou is about to be far ahead.
You know, among the original "trio", the strongest one was Qiu Ding!
Now that he has been left behind like this, he must be feeling aggrieved.
"I can't help it." Yu Cang shook his head. "What you want is the feeling of a fire bombardment... This kind of deck is not that easy to get."
If you can really keep bombing, then what does anyone else have to do with it?
Didn’t you see that the mechanical race he just created was quickly included in the banned card list by the association?
"Master, Master!" Qiu Ding came over with a grin, sat in the back seat of Yu Cang's car, and patted his shoulders. "Please think of a way... I know you can find one!"
"This way." Yu Cang pointed to his right shoulder.
"Okay!" Qiu Ding immediately changed the direction of knocking.
"Senior is very busy." Lin Yunqing pushed his glasses, "Don't always bother Senior with such trivial matters."
Hearing these emotionless words, Qiu Ding shrank his head, but then he stiffened his neck and was about to say something when Gu Jieshuang on the side spoke unhappily:
"Okay, stop messing around... The duel is about to begin. If there's anything else, we can talk about it later."
"Okay, okay." Qiu Ding immediately backed down.
He dared to talk back to Lin Yunqing occasionally, but Gu Jieshuang... he really didn't dare to provoke her.
After all, this person is really going to take action.
…
On the court.
"Old Wang, Old Wang." Jiang Lou flexed his wrist, a devilish, arrogant smile on his lips. "Ever since you joined Professor Guan, you've been so arrogant for a long time... I'm afraid you've forgotten about your brothers, haven't you?"
"Hmph, don't judge a gentleman by your own meanness." Wang Changzhi sneered, his eyes filled with seven parts disdain, two parts arrogance, and one part arrogance. "Old Jiang, we all work under the master. When I'm out there, shouldn't I think about fighting for the master? I'm not like you, I don't have any pressure."
"That being said, I have to say thank you for your hard work." Jiang Lou's smile gradually faded.
"You're welcome."
"Hmph, arrogant!" Jiang Lou raised his hand, and two soul cards appeared in his palm. "Today I will teach you a lesson!"
"If you can do it, then give it a try!" Wang Changzhi also immediately entered combat mode!
…
In the audience.
Qiu Ding's blood boiled when he saw this.
"Oh, oh, oh!" He clenched his fists, his eyes shining. "This is friendship between men! ... Come on, Jiang Lou! Don't let the master down! Wang Changzhi, you should also give it your all. Don't embarrass yourself!"
After yelling loudly, Qiu Ding moved closer to the front seat and said, "Master, smile! Why don't you smile? Isn't this scene touching?"
Yu Cang: "..."
Lin Yunqing had no expression on his face.
Gu Jieshuang: "Shut up."
…
The silent round begins!
"O great tree that measures the territory, stretch out your branches and leaves, enrich your roots—descend upon my lush land! I summon: the Luminescent Tree of Infinity!"
Bang!
Ancient trees rose from the ground, and the rich energy of Yingcao spread across the field like a storm. Where the light was most concentrated and intense, a dark figure walked out with a knife in hand, his eyes grim.
"Draw your sword at the end of darkness, stepping over countless exhausted lives - my warrior, return from the desperate situation, show your edge for me once again! This time, the glow will never end, and you will be indestructible!"
clang!
The Jedi Knight drew his sword just as he finished speaking, waving away a cloud of fluorescent light.
The momentum is full.
On the other side, Wang Changzhi was not willing to be outdone.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha!" He laughed with a strange tone, "Jiang Lou! I thought you'd made some progress, but in the end, you're still the same... Well, no matter what, I'll let you see the results of my practice over the past few days!"
He touched the card box on his waist and pulled out a soul card.
"Look carefully - this is the power of fusion!" Wang Changzhi threw the soul card in his hand forward, and it turned into a huge soul card phantom imprinted on the air in front of him. It was a fusion of darkness and wood!
"Hope, despair! Life, extinction! Their wails, my hymns! Come to the world—Silent Beetle, Helm Swordsman!"
The fusion of darkness and wood can be summoned using the summoned beasts in the deck as fusion materials. At this moment, a fusion card is played and activated directly. The two soul cards are sent to death cooling, and the fusion vortex blooms on the field!
Suddenly, the sound of some kind of steel creature falling to the ground was heard. After the vortex slowly dissipated, a humanoid summoned beast wearing dark brown armor suddenly appeared!
The armor on this summoned beast looked very heavy, but its shape was a bit strange. It looked like a beetle shell was cut up and reassembled. On its head, a huge helmet covered the entire head, and a beetle horn almost half the length of its body extended out, with a sharp cold light flashing at the end.
In its hand, there was also a giant door-panel sword made of dark brown metal. There was a hole in the hilt of the sword, and it was unknown what it was used for.
Jiang Lou's expression grew a bit more serious. "Is this the newest power you've acquired?"
"Of course!" Wang Changzhi smiled. "And it's not over yet! I activate the Helm Swordsman's ability [Silent Shadow]! I select a summon card on death cooldown and equip it to myself as if it were an equipment card! Naturally, I choose the one that was just fused and sent to death cooldown - the Blackwing Demon Spirit!"
Buzz!
The helmeted swordsman raised the sword in his hand, and suddenly, a soul card flew out of the card box. The overall color of this card was much darker, and it was obviously a soul card that was dying and cooling down.
The soul card flew into the air and shattered into countless pieces. Then it condensed into a dark ball of light and fell directly into the empty hole in the sword guard of the helmeted swordsman's sword!
Bang!
The black light expanded in an instant and turned into a pair of pitch-black wings above the sword!
Moreover, countless evil black mists flowed down from the sword guard like running water, and in the blink of an eye, they had covered the entire sword, making the sword look evil and terrifying.
Seeing this scene, a satisfied smile appeared on Wang Changzhi's face.
"What? This is my new servant. In a level three battlefield, he possesses unrivaled power!"
"Really?" Jiang Lou smiled softly, "Don't be too proud too soon. Your current comments are no different from those of a frog in a well."
"Your strength had better be as strong as your words."
"snort!"
Time passed, and soon, the soul energy of both of them was restored to full.
bite!
The silent round ends!
"I summon: Yingcao Sharpshooter!"
Jiang Lou raised his hand and summoned two Yingcao sharpshooters. Meanwhile, Wang Changzhi was also busy on the other side. His Soul Card flipped open at his side, revealing two giant mantises.
This mantis is also a familiar face - the Zerg Cutter!
This card has additional damage to Wood-type summoned beasts and is very fast, so it can be said to be a natural counter to the Yingcao set.
At the beginning, Jiang Lou bought Yingcao Jedi Knight from Yu Cang's shop in order to find a soul card that could defeat the Zerg Cutter.
Now, this card appears again, but it can only serve as a foil for the Helmeted Swordsman.
"Jiang Lou," Wang Changzhi said confidently. "Don't be so reckless relying on the Jedi Knight that Master gave you... My Helmeted Swordsman is more than enough to hold off the Jedi Knight. At this moment, do you have any Soul Cards that can defend against my Zerg Slicer?"
"Really?" Jiang Lou snorted, a smile playing on his lips. "If that's the case... then let me show you the new power I've gained. I've set up a connection anchor point with two Yingcao Sharpshooters. Look carefully, Wang Changzhi. This is the circuit that connects everything! Connection Summoning, Link 2 - Yingcao Towering Stone!"
Bang! A jagged boulder rose from the ground, and the two sharpshooters instantly transformed into a torrent of information, circling and following it. When the boulder was fully exposed, they crashed into the constantly rotating anchor ring at its waist, transforming into two anchor points.
At the same time, the sharpshooter died, and [Rebirth] and [Endless] were activated at the same time. Two archers and two sword and shield soldiers were summoned, and the seeds were buried in the ground.
Wang Changzhi was stunned. "The Creator Clan? ... No, Master has discovered a new summoning method?"
"Of course." Jiang Lou's expression was quite proud. "This will also be the reason for your defeat!"
Wang Changzhi narrowed his eyes slightly.
There is another way to summon... You are worthy of being a master. However, now is not the time to be amazed.
Although I don't know what the characteristics of this summoning method are, judging from the current situation, it is not difficult.
That huge rock looks difficult to remove, but just don't deal with it. All the creators are like this, very clumsy. It will just leave an extra layer of [Yingcao] on the field, which is acceptable.
Compared to it... the seeds left by Yingcao Sharpshooter and the Fluorescent Tree of Infinity are the units that need to be dealt with the most!
Thinking of this, Wang Changzhi couldn't help but smile.
Although the Fluorescent Tree of Integrity has strong vitality, it cannot last long in front of the Zerg Cutter.
Then, the formula for victory has obviously been written!
"Jiang Lou, do you know where you will lose?" Wang Changzhi crossed his arms and seemed not to be in a hurry to attack.
"Oh?" Jiang Lou put his hands in his pockets, his expression changed when he heard this, and he said with interest, "Tell me about it."
"Of course..." The smile on Wang Changzhi's face grew wider and wider.
suddenly!
whoosh!
Without any warning, the greatsword in the helmeted swordsman's hand suddenly flew out, and the wings transformed from black energy in the air flapped violently. In the blink of an eye, it had silently passed through the battlefield, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at the place where the two sharpshooters dropped the seeds!
The seeds can only be immune to elemental damage to a great extent. The fragile seeds can't withstand a physical blow like this at all!
Having fought against Jiang Lou many times, Wang Changzhi already knew how to fight against the Yingcao deck.
The moment the greatsword flew out, the Helmeted Swordsman rushed out at the same time, his hands like pliers, grabbing the Jedi Knight's sword-gripping hand! Two Zerg Slicers also quietly took off, rushing straight towards the Fluorescent Tree of Forever!
The giant sword can kill the seeds in the blink of an eye, and then fly back to suppress the Jedi Knight without any problem.
Without the tree, there would be no source of Yingcao's power, and the opponent's endurance would be directly cut off. How to fight him?
As for the archers and sword and shield soldiers... it's just a minor blow, they can be dealt with as long as you have a free hand.
"Jiang Lou, although the master's soul card is very powerful, but... it seems that you have let the master's soul card down..." Wang Changzhi has begun to look forward to Jiang Lou's expression later.
However, to his surprise, facing his sudden attack, Jiang Lou seemed to be stupid and did not react at all.
That's not right.
Although it was a sneak attack, Jiang Lou shouldn't be unable to react after such a long time.
A sense of worry flashed through Wang Changzhi's heart.
Phew!
The giant sword shot into the ground, immediately causing bursts of soil to splash. The power of this attack was so strong that it directly lifted up the ground in a small area, but Wang Changzhi's expression suddenly changed.
No, it doesn't feel right.
He didn't feel the sensation of the seeds being crushed!
Crash...
The soil gradually fell back to the ground, and Jiang Lou's smiling face appeared from behind it.
"Old Wang, Old Wang... I didn't expect that your so-called training results were just sneak attacks?" Jiang Lou opened his arms. "It was very effective... But unfortunately, I am no longer afraid of this level of attack!"
When the Towering Stone is present, all damage suffered by the seeds will be transferred to the Towering Stone!
As long as this creature doesn't die, the seeds on the field will never disappear!
"You!" Wang Changzhi swallowed his anger. Although he didn't know what had happened, he still said coldly, "Don't be too happy too soon. Even so, you can't break through my defense now!"
Realizing that the seed could not be broken for the time being, Wang Changzhi immediately changed his strategy, flapped his giant sword and flew back, ready to kill the Jedi quickly.
"Really?" Jiang Lou stretched out his hand, "I activate the spell card: Grass Binding!"
Buzz!
Tender grass leaves grew out from the ground and entangled the two Zerg Cutter in mid-air.
The two little mantises were eating happily, and the fluorescent tree was already shaking as they attacked from both sides.
Being bound at the moment, they could not stop the cutters' attacks. Even though they were trapped in the grass leaves, the two sickles were still swinging. In the blink of an eye, the fluorescent tree of invincibility broke apart from the middle, and a piece of green light shattered in the air, turning into seeds and falling to the ground.
But at this time, another ability of Grass Leaf Binding has taken effect.
Can provide a large amount of [Yingcao] abilities!
In an instant, the two sharpshooter seeds were fully charged, but instead of being resurrected, they turned into towering vines and broke out of the ground!
Click! Click!
The vines spread upwards, and in the blink of an eye, they had covered the surface of the towering stone. Then, the loud noises caused by the rock collapse rang out like firecrackers. Heavy hands and feet cracked out of the rugged boulder, and they took a step forward and stood with their heads held high!
The shadow was cast down, covering the helmeted swordsman and Wang Changzhi, even making him forget his movements for a moment.
"Holy crap... is this still the Yingcao suit?" Wang Changzhi's eyes were filled with shock. "Also, isn't this the Creator Clan? Since when did the Creator Clan join the battle?"
Isn’t this cheating!
The Creator Clan can make very large creatures, there is no problem with that, but once such a large creature can move... Just look at this guy in front of you, you would believe him if you said he was the Epic King!
Click!
The rocks were crushed with a loud bang, and the towering stone raised its palm and slapped the helmeted swordsman on the head. Wang Changzhi hurriedly tried to control himself to dodge, but the Jedi Knight grabbed the helmeted swordsman tightly at this time.
Now, it was the Helmeted Swordsman who was dragged down!
"Damn it!" Wang Changzhi widened his eyes, but although the Helmet Swordsman could suppress the Jedi Knight, the gap was not that obvious, and it really could not be solved in a short time.
At this time!
whoosh!
The giant sword with black wings blooming rolled back and pierced the Jedi Knight's body from behind, and black mist burst out for a moment!
The Helmeted Swordsman took this opportunity to shake off the Jedi Knight and was about to escape when the palm of the Towering Stone slapped him down.
Boom!
A loud bang exploded in the venue, and the helmeted swordsman barely moved away, but it was too late. The palm made of heavy rocks directly pressed half of the helmeted swordsman's body into the ground. Even Yu Cang and others sitting in the audience felt the strong vibration.
When Cantianshi raised his hand again, he could see... under his palm, half of the helmeted swordsman's body was pressed into a thin iron sheet, and the other half became wrinkled under the huge force, like a piece of tatters.
This time, he couldn't die any more.
"Damn it..." Wang Changzhi gritted his teeth.
After calming down, he also thought of the weakness of this towering stone giant.
It's nothing more than speed... This guy is very slow. Not to mention the soul card, even I can avoid its attack by strolling.
After all, this guy is not epic, not that outrageous.
But just now, the blow from the Jedi Knight was truly fatal...
Buzz!
At this time, the two Zerg Cutter had broken free from the grass leaves and flew back to their side.
Wang Changzhi glanced across the field, pondering secretly in his heart.
The Jedi Knight is also dead... At this time, it does not meet the conditions for the appearance of the Undead Warrior, but it will be resurrected from the seed state in a while, which is very troublesome... Now he has not found the reason why the seed is not destroyed, so it is very difficult to deal with.
Fortunately, the opponent's fluorescent tree of eternal youth has also been eliminated, and the remaining ordinary-level Yingcao are weak, so the Zerg Slicer can single-handedly kill them all.
The only difficult thing is this towering stone... This thing is too hard, and just looking at it makes people have no desire to attack... However.
A smile appeared on Wang Changzhi's lips.
"I have to admit, Jiang Lou, you did give me a surprise." Wang Changzhi threw out a soul card, which fell to the ground and turned into a dark demon shadow.
He said calmly, "If my deck had encountered a tough opponent like this before, I would have just looked for an opportunity to attack you directly... But now, Jiang Lou, I will use my absolute strength to crush you!"
"Oh?" Jiang Lou's expression changed. "Judging from your expression, you don't think... this is all my strength, do you?"
"What?"
"See clearly!" Jiang Lou waved his hand, and instantly, a tube of soul energy was consumed completely!
"I summon—Yingcao·Palace Examination Stone!"
boom!
A huge rock fell from the sky and landed next to the towering stone, causing a loud noise.
"Wait, you can't be..." Wang Changzhi's pupils suddenly shrank.
Of course he knows this Palace Examination Stone... Don't tell him that the Palace Examination Stone can also be brought to life like the Towering Stone?
"Of course." Jiang Lou's lips curled up into a smile. "Wang Changzhi, your defeat is already counting down! You think those two cutters killed my Fluorescent Tree of Infinity... who allowed it? Hahahaha, see the countdown to your defeat clearly in despair! When the Fluorescent Tree of Infinity's seeds are fully charged, this duel will end!"
"..." Wang Changzhi was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed too, "Really... How scary. I activate: Fusion of Darkness and Wood! Using the Black Scythe Spirit and Zerg Cutter on the field as fusion materials, I summon—Silent Beetle Helmblade Shadow!"
The fusion vortex spread across the field, and a dark figure slowly walked out of it. It also had a unicorn helmet similar to the Helmeted Swordsman's, but the difference was that it didn't have a giant sword in its hand. Instead, it had two huge legs on its back, with a pair of sickle blades taller than a human extending from the end!
"It's useless, useless, useless!" Jiang Lou waved his hand, "With just this summoned beast, it's impossible to defeat even the Cangtian Stone!"
"Of course it's more than that!" Wang Changzhi's eyes flashed with excitement, as if he had been looking forward to this moment for a long time. "Helmet Blade Shadow can also equip a summoned beast on death cooldown as an equipment card, but right now, this ability is useless.
"Because, even it itself will become a part of my final coming!"
Wang Changzhi brushed across his waist and suddenly pulled out a soul card.
"I activate: A Mixture of Death and Life! This can only be activated by sacrificing a summoned beast on the field. Using one summoned beast on the field and one on cooldown as fusion materials, I perform a Fusion Summon!"
Wang Changzhi's eyes grew increasingly excited. "Also, these two summoned beasts used as fusion materials must also be fusion summons! ...Jiang Lou, to be honest, this is the first time I've used this card in combat since I got it!"
Jiang Lou frowned, and without hesitation, after seeing that he had enough soul energy, he immediately threw out two grass leaf bindings!
Suddenly, the fluorescent seeds of the tree of innocence were immediately charged, [Towering] was activated, and the thriving vines broke out of the ground!
At the same time, Jiang Lou thought about it and immediately canceled the summoning of other summoned beasts.
The mental pressure was a bit high, and in order to ensure combat effectiveness, he had to clear out some unused soul cards.
Suddenly, all the archers, sword and shield soldiers and even the vines around the towering stone gradually withered, but as they withered, the vines on the Palace Examination Stone grew stronger and stronger!
It looked as if this vine had grown by absorbing the vitality of all the summoned beasts.
Click!
The vines took possession of the body, and the huge force cracked the palace examination stone into countless cracks. In the blink of an eye, a towering rock giant stood up!
A huge shadow spread across the earth. Wang Changzhi raised his head, his eyes becoming brighter.
"Jiang Lou, do you think I want to hide away for a while? Do you think I will be like a bug?" Wang Changzhi opened his arms, and a huge fusion vortex opened behind him, with black and white mixed in it, like a portal to the underworld.
"No! I want to fight head-on—compound eyes! Elytra! Legs! Pincers! Carrying the resentment of the dead and the evil thoughts of the living, I will squeeze into this world, squeeze into the howling of all living beings, and bring me—"
Wang Changzhi pressed down with one hand, his eyes bright in the shadow of the rock giant.
"—this horrible victory!"
Hiss!!!
Swish! Swish!
Metal-like limbs stretched out from the fusion vortex, dragging out a huge body with great effort. Then the limbs moved, and the lower abdomen with phosphorus armor swept over Wang Changzhi's head, opening its cold fangs towards the rock giant!
Jiang Lou also laughed.
"It's been a long time since I felt this passionate." He opened his arms. "Head-on fight? Then—as you wish!"
…
auditorium.
Gu Jieshuang frowned.
How do these two people manage to cook and talk so much dirty talk at the same time?
Yu Cang's eyes lit up.
"Using soul cards on cooldown as materials..."
This is the card I wanted to make, but I didn't expect that Professor Guan had already developed it first.
Yes, in the ancient capital now, basically most of the professors have focused their work on fusion. It seems that Wang Changzhi's deck is only supervised by Professor Guan, but in fact there are many people standing behind him.
It's normal to have results.
Well...after it's over, I'll go get this card and study it.
Maybe you can find inspiration for upgrading your deck from here.
As for the outcome of the current battle - there is no suspense.
The fusion monster had extraordinary attack power, but Wang Changzhi could not withstand the mental pressure at all. He could only launch one attack at most, and then the big guy would be eliminated.
This attack should be able to destroy the stone giant of the palace examination, but the subsequent endurance... can't catch up.
In the end, Jiang Lou will definitely win by a protracted war.
