Chapter 267 Reactions from All Parties
Cough cough...
"Silent Beetle, Great Devouring Helmet Demon Shadow! Charge, and bring me the enemy's wail!" Wang Changzhi leaned forward, his lips were pale, but his eyes were very bright.
Jiang Lou was naturally not to be outdone: "The huge stone standing before the royal court! For the sake of the new king's majesty, crush it all the way! Until the road to heaven is smooth!"
boom!
The stone giant of the palace examination advanced unstoppably, and the Great Helmet Devouring Phantom on the opposite side was not much inferior in size. The giant beetle only had to raise its body slightly to be at eye level with the stone statue!
In the blink of an eye, the two behemoths collided with each other, but in the end the advantage fell to the giant beetle.
boom!
The stone giant of the palace examination threw a punch, and the dark brown metal armor on the giant beetle's body was immediately dented. But soon, its fangs rolled over like a bulldozer, plowing a scar on the stone giant's chest that almost split it in half!
Cough cough!
After this attack, the Great Devouring Helmet Demon Shadow continued to move forward, its limbs kept flipping, and abundant black air emerged from its body. The enormous force pushed forward all the way, directly smashing the body of the stone giant of the palace examination into a sky full of stones!
During the period, the stone giant of the palace examination kept punching, each punch hitting the gut. The dull and shocking sound of heavy blows resounded throughout the arena. Although it caused huge damage, it was unable to really get rid of the giant beetle for a while, and could only watch it smash its body.
However, after one strike, the giant beetle also reached its limit—to be precise, it was Wang Changzhi who reached his limit.
In fact, facing this stone giant, there is no need for Wang Changzhi to confront it head-on. As mentioned earlier, even if this summoned beast of the Creation Clan is activated, its movements are too clumsy. Wang Changzhi can completely bypass the stone giant through operation and movement and try to attack Jiang Lou directly.
However, he always felt itchy when he held such a powerful weapon in his hand, and this was a good opportunity, so Wang Changzhi couldn't resist.
The result... is that after one blow, the speed of light becomes invisible.
After all, the Great Devourer Phantom is formed by the fusion of two fused summoned beasts. Based on this fusion condition alone, this summoned beast is definitely not weak, and it is epic at the bottom line.
Wang Changzhi, a mere level three summoned beast, couldn't possibly handle it. He couldn't even think of finesse, relying on a simple, unpretentious charge. He only had the power to strike once, and that was it.
Despite this, the results of the battle were indeed fruitful. The Great Devouring Helmet Demon Shadow defeated the Stone Giant of the Palace Examination almost instantly, and the remaining waves of the attack almost severely damaged the towering stone next to it.
"Hehe...how is it?" The Great Devouring Helmet's demonic shadow transformed into soul card fragments that scattered all over the sky. Amidst this pile of fragments, Wang Changzhi opened his arms with a pale smile on his lips.
"You are a worthy opponent, Wang Changzhi!" Jiang Lou nodded seriously, "But unfortunately... this is a duel! My Yingcao is inexhaustible, and in the end, I won this duel!"
"Hahaha, what? Are you trying to make me surrender? Stop dreaming. Come, fight me to the very end!"
…
auditorium.
Lin Yunqing stood up.
"It seems they'll be fighting for a long time," she said calmly. "I'll be going back now. I have something to do in the lab."
"Eh?" Qiu Ding, staring intently at the field with his eyes aglow, was taken aback. "You're going back now? I have a feeling the upcoming battle will be filled with exciting moments!"
"...No." Lin Yunqing sighed, turned around and left.
Qiu Ding scratched his head, not understanding what was going on. He turned to look at Yu Cang and Gu Jieshuang... but found that Gu Jieshuang's fingers were tightly gripping the seat handles, and it looked like he was trying quite hard. Although Yu Cang didn't react much, his eyes were full of thought, and it was obvious that he was not focused on the duel.
Qiu Ding was very confused.
After pondering for a moment, he could only think that the Master and Sister Shuang were now too powerful, and the duel between Wang Changzhi and Jiang Lou was probably just a child's play in their eyes.
However, there was one person in the audience who could understand this "art".
That's chess!
The girl sat upright next to Yu Cang, her manners very proper, but her eyes looking at the field were also full of light and yearning.
Although not as handsome as Brother Yu Cang...but they are also very awesome!
Qiu Ding and Qi'er watched with great interest, but for Gu Jieshuang it was torture.
Really, if we want to duel, let’s just duel. Can you please stop talking so much nonsense?
If you were really strong, and the things you summoned could be called your lines, it would be fine... But now that you're in this situation, won't it be embarrassing for you to say it to yourselves?
She turned around and wanted to talk to Yu Cang, but seeing that he was in deep thought, as if he had some inspiration, she couldn't bear to disturb him.
well.
Well, she has a hard life.
Yu Cang didn't have so many psychological activities.
He was quite receptive to this kind of lines, but because of his status as a "master", he had to be more cautious in his daily life.
At this moment, he mainly focused his gaze into the Starry Sky Vision to observe the patterns in the field.
The card "Mixture of Death and Life" can fuse a summoned beast on the field with a summoned beast in the graveyard.
The activation condition is to sacrifice a monster on the field... This condition is quite classic. For spell cards, this condition is generally used to reduce soul energy consumption.
After all, the rhythm of fusion is relatively advanced. Although this soul card is of rare quality, the soul energy consumption is not something that a third-level soul card master like Wang Changzhi can afford... However, when this activation condition is placed on this soul card, it seems to have become a positive condition.
This allows Wang Changzhi to directly send a summoned beast on the field into death cooldown and then use it as fusion material.
It sounds a bit redundant, it would be better to fuse them directly on the field, but you have to know that the state of death cooling has practical significance. From the perspective of rhythm, the soul card of death cooling does carry a sense of "death".
Choosing this kind of soul card as a fusion material is equivalent to adding this kind of "death" to the fusion, just like the difference between combining dragon scales and dead dragon scales.
After looking at it for a while, Yu Cang had some ideas, but he still needed to look at the soul card for details.
Thinking of this, he took out his personal terminal and sent a message to Guan Qingrui.
-
Professor Guan, I see there seems to be a new card related to fusion in Wang Changzhi's account... Can I take a look at it for reference?
Before long, the message came back.
-
Of course! -
That's great. I'll borrow the Soul Card in Changzhi's hand for a few days...
-
What are you talking about! I'll have someone send the paper and twenty soul cards over later. This is all I have in my lab right now. Don't worry, if you don't have enough, tell me and I'll make more for you then! -
Ah...you're so polite, Professor Guan.
Yu Cang grinned.
…
After a while, the winner was finally decided.
After that fight, although Wang Changzhi won, a lot of resources of his deck were consumed, and there was only one Fusion of Darkness and Wood left. On the other hand, Jiang Lou had the Towering Stone and the Jedi Seed waiting to be resurrected. It didn't take long for him to accumulate a set of combat power again.
There is no doubt that Jiang Lou won.
But the victory was not easy. Both of them were exhausted and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Qiu Ding quickly grabbed two thermos cups and rushed into the field to deliver supplies to the two.
"Sure, you guys." Qiu Ding put down the thermos and squeezed their shoulders, getting harder and harder. "You're all doing it secretly behind your buddies' backs, right?"
"Hiss, it hurts!" Wang Changzhi grimaced. "Go ask the master to make you a set too."
"Hmph... I'm not just pursuing intensity." Qiu Ding also sat on the ground, "I do persist!"
"Okay, okay, okay..." Jiang Lou turned his head and was about to look at Yu Cang's expression, but found out.
The auditorium was empty.
"Huh, Master, you don't even know how to praise me."
…
Professor Guan was very efficient. As soon as Yu Cang returned to the laboratory, he received the soul card and the thesis.
It can be seen that Professor Guan is not hiding anything at all. The paper is just a rough draft, and it is almost filled with notes sentence by sentence. The "Mixture of Death and Life" he sent even has a few more pages than agreed, and there is still some warmth on them, which seems to have been just produced.
Yu Cang was not vague about this and started reading it as soon as he returned to the laboratory.
This made Gu Jieshuang, who had followed him all the way back, stomp her feet.
What!
I ignored her in the arena, and I ignored her again when I came back... Wow, she's so pitiful...
In fact, Gu Jieshuang is not that kind of clingy person.
It’s because her relationship has been heating up “rapidly” recently, and the ambiguity between her and her boss has become so intense that she can’t control herself for a while.
no.
Gu Jieshuang adjusted her expression.
You can't lose your composure like this...especially in front of Lin Yunqing.
It's a good thing that the boss is busy, I'd better not disturb him... Go practice! Gu Jieshuang, don't be complacent, you must continue to work hard to keep up with the boss!
She silently encouraged herself, turned around and left the laboratory.
Lin Yunqing looked at Gu Jieshuang's hurriedly departing back with some confusion, then shook his head and continued to focus his eyes on the computer in front of him.
…
Miao capital
Miao Yun walked into a room and smiled gently as she looked at Miao Xue drawing soul cards at the table.
"Axue, what are you busy with recently?" Miao Yun said with a smile.
"Huh?" Miao Xue looked up from a scrap of Soul Cards. "What else can I be busy with... I'm just trying to figure out if there's any way to expand my Mustard Seed Flying Gu deck."
After the last major overhaul of the military, Miao Xue was devastated.
I thought I was the brightest star in the military overhaul, but I didn't expect that all the limelight was stolen by a junior.
The most important thing is that I finally found someone I like, but that person has no interest in me at all!
It’s such a blow!
It must be because the gap between my performance and Yu Cang's is too big that this younger brother has no interest in me... Well, people like this usually have some sapiosexuality in them.
So after coming back, Miao Xue was full of energy and wanted to improve her results, at least to prove that she was definitely not much worse than Yu Cang.
In her opinion... Yu Cang must be the same as herself, often not thinking of finding a partner because the people around him are not good enough... If there is really anyone in this world who is worthy of him, it must be herself!
Miao Xue is full of confidence.
But a piece of news that came immediately made her stand there in a daze.
Star level! Synchronicity!
The two plain and simple essays made her deeply feel that the awarding of every Flame Emperor Medal was no joke.
The sentence in the paper, "This article does not need to refer to any literature," made her envious to the point of going crazy.
Only academics would understand how much confidence and high status it takes to be able to write this sentence in a paper and have it published.
It's so crazy... When will she dare to say that again?
While I was envious, I felt even more frustrated.
Does she still have hope of catching up with Yu Cang?
I can’t see it!
Even so, she still turned her grief and anger into motivation and worked hard to research her own deck... She has made some gains in the past few days. Although she can't catch up with that star level... But at least, the rare deck with anti-air attributes is a very powerful enhancement.
Didn’t you see that grandma asked me to lead a student from the Combat Club because of this?
Who can teach students before graduating?
Well...it's that student, he's a little annoying.
"Don't overwork yourself. It's still early for the college league, so there's no rush." Miao Yun said with a smile.
"I know~" Miao Xue straightened her back, and suddenly a pain came into her mind.
"Now that you understand, put all that aside for now." Miao Yun stepped forward and took the writing brush from Miao Xue's hand without explanation. "You can't achieve good results by working in isolation all the time... Well, grandma is going to attend a large-scale summit soon. I thought I might as well take a few students with me to see the world."
Miao Xue wanted to snatch the writing brush back, but failed miserably. She could only pout, "Alright... then take my 'student' away quickly. He's been pestering me all day, it's so annoying."
"Of course, but—" Miao Yun smiled, "You have to go too."
"I'm not going. I'm staying home well, why should I go out? Besides, I haven't heard of any important summits recently. I guess it's something else..."
"The summit will be held at Gloria University~" Miao Yun said with a smile.
"..." Miao Xue swallowed and then coughed lightly, "Grandma! What do you mean? Do you think I have any special feelings for Ancient Capital University?!"
"So are you going or not?"
"If you insist on pulling me, then I can't do anything about it." Miao Xue stood up and began to clean the table as if nothing had happened. "Okay, okay, I'll clean it up. Don't look at me here!"
"Okay, then grandma is leaving."
…
Imperial Capital
A training room
Boom!
Duan Feng was shirtless, revealing his smooth muscle lines.
He stood quietly in the center of the room, surrounded by a row of unknown instruments. Invisible energy waves oscillated back and forth in the air, making Duan Feng's face sweat.
At a certain moment, he finally couldn't hold on any longer, coughed painfully, and knelt on the ground.
The energy waves in the space also dissipated.
"...The equipment at the treatment center is pretty useful." Duan Feng stood up slowly.
Theoretically speaking, before level six, the soul card master's soul energy limit, mental stress limit and other data are very fixed and will not fluctuate. Only after level six, each person will be differentiated due to various encounters.
However, the equipment at the treatment center can actually slightly change these data at level five.
Although the change was minor, even negligible, and had little impact on combat, the process was extremely painful, but as long as it was effective, the difference in the future after level seven or eight would be exponential.
This device was still under testing and shouldn't be passed on to others. However, the Duan family was naturally able to find it for him, but Duan Feng had never used it before.
But since returning from the ancient capital, Duan Feng began to selectively accept some material gifts from his family.
Duan Feng took the towel, wiped his body and walked to the side. A man in a suit was already waiting there.
"Young Master." Duan Wang lowered his eyebrows and said, "In a few days, there will be a summit in the ancient capital, hosted by Yu Cang. The head of the family means that as Yu Cang's 'best friend', you should also be there..."
Duan Feng's movements slowed down a bit.
"Yu Cang..." He was silent for a moment, then said, "No need. I just came back from the ancient capital."
Duan Wang raised his head: "But the patriarch said..."
"Duan Zhang promised to leave me alone for a month."
Duan Wang hesitated to speak.
"Go on, I need to continue training."
"yes……"
After Duan Wang left, Duan Feng exhaled and raised his head slightly.
"...Wait, it's not the time yet."
The next time he returns to the ancient capital, it must be when he is sure to bring Duan Qiu back!
…
Another place
In a manor somewhere, a lady of extraordinary temperament is making tea.
In front of her, a student who looked childish was sitting at the desk, quietly flipping through a paper book.
Suddenly, the lady said, "Wen Yang, how are your studies going?"
"Hmm... there are still a few things I don't understand." Wen Yang raised his eyes quietly and looked back at the book in front of him pretending to be natural.
"Hehehe, little brother, you really can't lie." Madam Yu's eyes became amused. "Why, are you afraid that after you learn it, I'll ask you to kill someone for an experiment... and you won't be able to refuse?"
"No," Wen Yang coughed lightly, "Banned cards are a completely different knowledge system for me, and I need a lot of time to figure it out..."
"Hmph, forget it. I won't tease you anymore." Madam Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip. "In a few days, something interesting will happen... Although it has nothing to do with us, it will add some interesting fun."
"Hmm?" Wen Yang blinked, not understanding what was going on.
"Simply put... in a few days, the minds of most national-level card makers will be distracted, and then some idiots will be unable to sit still and will want to take the opportunity to jump out and show off their stupidity."
"Uh..." Wen Yang scratched his head.
I always feel like this isn't something I should know.
"It doesn't matter if they're happy to do something stupid. It's just right. It can attract some attention to us." Madam Yu looked at Wen Yang, her lips curled up slightly, "The Duan family seems to have some treasures in their warehouse... How about it? Do you want to collect some interest in advance?"
Wen Yang's eyes widened slightly.
He never thought that Madam Yu said so much just for himself... No, he must have done it for the sake of convenience. Don't think that the card banner has good intentions!
Wen Yang took a deep breath.
"I see. I definitely won't miss this."
…
Imperial Capital
"Summit? Yu Cang? The recipient of the Flame Emperor Medal?" Zhuangzong raised his brows. "Nonsense! The Association is condoning Yu Cang! Do they want to see another Zhao Yang born in Yan Country?"
Someone nearby leaned closer and whispered, "I heard Yu Cang wants to share a new resonance method..."
Unexpectedly, Zhuangzong's brow furrowed even more tightly. "Such a significant achievement? Well, good young man... then you should hone your skills even more! Honestly, I don't understand. Zhao Yang, such a promising talent, has already been ruined. Now the association has gone even further, awarding such a young man an award of the Yanhuang Medal... Even if his achievements are sufficient, is his character enough?"
"no……"
"That's ridiculous!" Zhuang Zong stood up. "Just wait and see. At the summit in a few days, I'm going to put a damper on Yu Cang's arrogance. Otherwise, another genius will die young!"
Zhuangzong was talking about Zhao Yang.
It was the genius who created the legendary soul card at the age of fourteen.
