Chapter 269 Dragon Hunter, Chaos Dragon Scale!
"This..." Aqiu was stunned.
In fact, before he opened his mouth, Aqiu could almost guess that Yu Cang would agree.
After all, although he had not met Yu Cang many times, Yu Cang left a very good impression on him. Not only did he see Duan Feng's heart clearly, but he also helped him find the right path.
What's more, synchronization and star level are things that Yu Cang has made known to the public, so he has no reason to hide them.
At most... he would be asked for some conditions. He is alone now, and as long as it does not endanger Duan Feng, he can accept it.
Originally, if he took the initiative to find Yu Cang, he would worry about being ripped off, but now that Yu Cang took the initiative to come to him and expressed his needs, this was naturally a good opportunity for him.
But what Aqiu didn't expect was that Yu Cang's generosity exceeded his imagination...
He was already very satisfied to get the Synchronic and Star Level Aqiu, as for the others, he didn't even dare to think about it.
After all, there is no need to talk about fusion. It can be seen from the duel that day that it is Yu Cang's trump card, and that connection... It must be the new summoning method he mentioned that he discovered in the Divine City.
In his opinion, Yu Cang must study this newly born summoning method himself first to ensure his monopoly position... How could he show it to others casually?
Although Yu Cang's generosity was a good thing, being so generous... made him hesitate.
Could it be that Yu Cang really had some other motive? ... Was it really like what the other researchers said, that he stayed in Xingtian Vision Zone to seek revenge or to check and balance Duan Feng in the future?
He hesitated for a long time and then said, "Um...do I need to pay any price?"
At this time, Aqiu was already prepared for Yu Cang to ask for a huge amount of money, and he was also thinking in his mind how to refuse if he made some inappropriate requests.
Yu Cang nodded: "Of course, I have conditions."
Looking at Yu Cang's expression, Aqiu couldn't help but swallow.
As expected, it’s coming... What will the conditions be? If it will affect Duan Feng, then I have no choice but to... But how can I refuse in a decent way?
After all, I am on Yu Cang's territory. If I make Yu Cang unhappy, I will suffer in the future. I can't call Duan Feng back to take me away.
That would be so embarrassing.
Aqiu kept brainstorming, trying to find a proper way to refuse.
"My condition is this." Yu Cang held up a finger, looked at A Qiu, and said, "You must learn from me a kind of knowledge called 'Spiritual Particles'."
"I'm sorry, I... um?" Ah Qiu was stunned. "What?"
"I say." Yu Cang leaned closer, a smile on his face. "In addition to the three summoning methods, you also need to learn 'Spirit Particles'. I will find a very good teacher for you. With your talent, you should be able to learn it very quickly."
"Ah?" Aqiu was a little at a loss, "This, this...what kind of conditions are these..."
Is it true that the prerequisite for learning knowledge is to learn other knowledge?
"Could it be that that kind of knowledge has some hidden dangers..." Aqiu tested cautiously.
I heard that there is some strange knowledge in the starry sky, and as long as you understand it, you will be infected by something unknown. Could this legend be true?
"No." Yu Cang shook his head. "I've tried it. At least for now, there are no problems. You can rest assured."
"But what kind of conditions are these..."
"Of course not." Yu Cang's smile widened. "From now on, spend all your time studying. Don't even think about having any free time. Before another Duan Feng figures it out, I have to fill your brain with everything. How's that? Terrifying, right?"
"That's really..." Ah Qiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's too scary..."
Yu Cang, why should you reward him?
While feeling relieved, Aqiu's heart was suddenly deeply touched by this practice.
He had never seen such a person since he was a child... Most of the scholars he, Duan Feng, met regarded knowledge as their own private property, or even as a means of making profits.
The knowledge that has been made public has long been studied over and over again by the discoverer and the people behind him. If later generations want to learn, they will find that the road ahead is full of shackles, preventing them from seeing the real path. If they want to get a glimpse of the whole picture, they must choose a force to join.
This...is nothing to blame.
After all, no matter what kind of knowledge it is, there will always be a discoverer, and it will eventually fall into human hands. And people always need to eat.
The prices are clearly marked and reasonable.
Aqiu had already gotten used to these things... and that was why he was so deeply moved when Yu Cang casually said that he would share that knowledge with him.
He knew very well how difficult it was to do this. If the knowledge Yu Cang talked about was just something that could be found everywhere, then it would be understandable.
But look at what they are, fusion, connection, each one is an existence that transcends time. If Yu Cang is determined to explore on his own, then Aqiu can say with certainty that in the next few hundred or thousand years, the ancient capital will be the absolute academic center of Yan State. Even looking at the blue planet, there will not be a university that can compare with the ancient capital university.
Not to mention these, even the step when Yu Cang chose to announce the synchronization and star level shocked him.
Even Principal Ren Zheng, who has devoted half his life to education, probably couldn't do what Yu Cang did... He guessed.
"Why...why did you do this?"
"What do you mean?"
"This knowledge is so precious, why is it taught to others so casually..." Aqiu was puzzled.
"Well," Yu Cang seemed a little surprised that Ah Qiu would ask this, but he immediately smiled, raised his head, and cast his gaze towards the endless starry sky outside the bubble world. "Ah Qiu, do you know that this starry sky is full of dangers? Compared to those dangers, our country... and even our civilization, is far from enough.
"Civilization takes too long to grow, and crises never stop to wait. If civilization is destroyed, no matter how much knowledge I have, if no one reads it, it will lose its meaning."
Ah Qiu looked at Yu Cang and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to ask something, but after hesitating for a long time, he only blurted out: "Is that so..."
"That's it."
"So, you intend to drive the growth of the entire civilization by your own efforts?"
Hearing this, Yu Cang shook his head: "I don't have that kind of power... nor am I that great. Ah Qiu, actually, my thoughts are not that complicated."
"What is it?"
"I'm just confident." Yu Cang smiled gently, "Even if all of us are standing on the same track and the same starting line, I will still be far ahead."
This is the margin of freedom for a cheater!
Aqiu didn't know the source of Yu Cang's confidence. At this moment, he was only shocked by Yu Cang's confidence.
He originally thought that Duan Feng was arrogant enough, but he didn't expect that Yu Cang, who was always easy to talk to, would be so arrogant... The key point was that looking at Yu Cang's flawless rhythmic body, Aqiu couldn't find any point to refute. At this moment, he actually felt that it was natural in his heart.
“…” Aqiu didn’t know what to say anymore.
"What's more," Yu Cang spread his hands. "I spread the rivers, and the rivers will flow back into me. Ah Qiu, what do you think I will lose by doing this? Money? Status? What I can lose is what I haven't obtained yet. And I will gain more knowledge from this, there is no doubt about that."
"...Yu Cang." Aqiu took a deep breath. "Before, when Jieying called you a saint, I thought it was an exaggeration... Now, I think that with your realm, you deserve the title."
"Okay, forget that." Yu Cang waved his hand. "I'll give you the relevant rhythms later. Tell me how you built your deck. I really need this knowledge."
"Okay." Aqiu took a deep breath and sorted out his thoughts. "I will give you all my knowledge... including the Chaos Dragon Egg!"
"Hmm?" Yu Cang was stunned. "This is inappropriate..."
"There's nothing inappropriate about it." Ah Qiu's face was also full of determination. "Yu Cang, in front of you, I just feel ashamed... Besides, if you are really willing to provide me with so much knowledge, and I still can't make a soul card stronger than the Chaos Dragon Egg, then I might as well commit suicide!"
In fact, Aqiu has long disliked the Chaos Dragon Egg.
After all, this was a soul card made for Duan Feng by many card makers hired by the Duan family... and not one made by Aqiu himself!
Duan Feng's deck will be completed by him, this is what we agreed upon!
Seeing Aqiu like this, it was Yu Cang's turn to be at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Huh? So easy to fool?
Although Yu Cang had no intention of lying to him, he was still a little surprised that Aqiu was so easy to fool.
"Okay...don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
…
Yu Cang returned to the laboratory.
He picked up the array writing pen from the side, wrote and drew on a blank soul card for a while, and then he created a chaos dragon egg.
"...It's indeed very exquisite." Yu Cang nodded.
Just now in the Starry Sky Vision, he and Aqiu chatted for a long time.
He already knew the deck that Duan Feng used when he played against him that day.
There are two kinds of useful rhythms here.
One is the harmony of the two attributes of light and darkness by the Chaos Dragon Egg. This rhythm shocked Yu Cang and indeed opened up a new path in front of Yu Cang's eyes. For a moment, Yu Cang had a lot of inspiration in his mind.
The second type is that the sacrifice will still leave behind the rhythm of dragon scales, and this rhythm is really useful.
Unlike Yingcao summoned beasts that drop seeds upon death, Dragonborn drop dragon scales by dying from an attack... This means that dragon scales cannot be dropped through fusion, sacrifice, or even as connection materials.
With this rhythm, this aspect can be compensated.
In this way, it becomes possible to use connections to strengthen the Light and Shadow Dragon deck!
"Before that, let me try this..."
Yu Cang took out a gray-white half-dragon man and quickly drew a lot of rhythmic patterns on it.
First of all, there is the rhythm that can use soul cards on cooldown as sacrifices!
Then, there is the optimized rhythm of the method of obtaining dragon scales... Well, in that case, let's also add the Chaos Dragon Egg's rhythm of harmonizing light and darkness.
The rhythms of the Chaos Dragon Egg are numerous and complex, and certainly cannot be fully integrated into this soul card, so Yu Cang only selected the important part.
Adding a bunch of rhythms that have no logic to each other completely destroyed the structure of this soul card. The card surface became a mess, and the ability introduction was blurred and invisible. This soul card was completely turned into a useless card.
"Then what's next..." Yu Cang rubbed his hands, "Entry implantation!"
Since this is your first attempt, be bolder and choose some better entries.
[Connection] + [Anchor Point] + [Go to Death] + [Order] +... [Higher Evolution]!
[Higher Evolution] is an epic item. Because of the presence of [Connection] and [Anchor], the probability of getting a connected soul card is very high, so even if it is an epic, it can be summoned, so he doesn't care.
Come on, let him see if you will steal the tribute again this time!
A flash of white light——
Success!
Yu Cang quickly looked over with anticipation.
…
Soul Card Name: Dragon Scale Hunter
Category: Summon Card
Number of anchor points: 3
Quality: Connection
Attributes: Light/Dark
Race: Dragon/Humanoid
ability:
[Scale Hunter]: Upon death, leaves behind three Chaos Dragon Scales. While active, gain one Chaos Dragon Scale for each allied unit that dies.
[Dragon Hunt]: When a unit with [Dragonborn] is present and is directly summoned during its death cooldown, its race is changed to Dragon, and [Dragonborn] becomes [Blood Vengeance]: When attacking a target of the same race, its ability is negated and its attack power is doubled.
[Blame on the Return of the Soul]: This ability can be activated by sending a certain number of dragon scales into death cooldown. A unit with [Dragonborn] in death cooldown will be directly summoned, connecting it to the Dragon Hunter.
…
This... is such a powerful soul card!
etc.
Yu Cang suddenly realized something.
In the past two days, those Dragonborn Soul cards he made that only knew how to steal tributes... seemed to be able to be combined into a new series?
In the process of upgrading your own soul cards, did you accidentally create a new Dragonborn deck?
Now, the big brother of the Dragonborn deck has been created by myself, and the system of this deck has been officially perfected by myself.
When the eldest brother is present, the drop rate of dragon scales is greatly accelerated, and the dead dragon scales can directly revive the dead dragonborn who is in cooldown.
The Dragonborn can consume the dragon scales in death cooldown to activate various abilities...a cycle of using dragon scales is thus achieved.
The Light and Shadow Dragon deck only uses dragon scales as a means to replace sacrifices, while this Dragonborn deck uses them as a resource to supplement the scene.
The usage of this pair of dragon scales is completely different... but it seems that they can be used together!
Even the weakness of [Dragonborn] was unexpectedly made up for by himself unintentionally... Although he would still be very vulnerable to the dragon clan when he first appeared, as long as he died and was resurrected again, [Dragonborn] would become [Blood Feud], then the vulnerable one might become the dragon clan!
The more Yu Cang thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. The potential of this Dragonborn deck was obviously more than that, and perhaps there were more possibilities that could be explored.
The Dragon Hunters have an extremely high utilization rate of resources. Not only can a dragon scale be used twice, but a dragonborn can also directly contribute two dragon scales if it dies and lives again. The eldest brother himself will also add a bonus to the acquisition of dragon scales. With such efficiency, he can be regarded as his subordinate.
Sure enough, adding the [Advanced Evolution] entry was the right decision!
Yu Cang breathed a sigh of relief.
Hmm...wait a minute.
What is this Chaos Dragon Scale?
Looks like a new type of dragon scale.
Yu Cang frowned slightly.
Judging from the name, it seems that the rhythm of the Chaos Dragon Egg that can adjust the light and dark attributes is effective on the dragon scales. However, he is already very satisfied with the original combined dragon scales. Even if this Chaos Dragon Scale can integrate light and darkness, in his opinion, it is not as strong as the combined dragon scales instead of fusion.
"...Let's see what the effect is first."
The Chaos Dragon Scale cannot be directly inspected, so Yu Cang can only wait until the opportunity to summon it and then check its abilities.
But before that, Yu Cang still had one more thing to try.
Putting the Dragon Hunter aside first, Yu Cang took out a blank soul card, wrote some rhythmic prototypes on it, and then directly opened the entry library.
He thought of something.
The reason why Duan Feng used Chaos Dragon Eggs as a transit point for resources was because the dragon soul energy consumption in his hands was too high. He forcibly suppressed the quality to rare, and the price was almost unbearable soul energy consumption.
And he... seems to have an ability that can ignore these consumptions.
That is the [Dragon's Will] of the Saint of the Formation!
This ability is very powerful. It allows the Saint of the Breach to directly pull out a summoned beast of the same level from the deck or extra deck after killing an epic summoned beast. The Sword Saint of the Complete Dragon's Eye needs it as a transfer.
But on the other hand, even if the Saint of the Breach does not cause a kill, this ability can be activated, but the quality is limited to rare level and below.
In other words... no matter how high the cost of a Dragon Summoning Beast Soul is, as long as it is rare, it can be summoned directly!
"Then the problem is simple." Yu Cang licked his lips, "Find the limit of a rare Dragon Soul Card..."
The rhythm he had just written on the soul card was the rhythm that Aqiu had just told him was used to suppress the quality of the dragon soul card.
These rhythms have been reviewed by countless card makers behind the Duan family, and can be regarded as the most useful kind of rhythm.
As long as we implant more entries based on this rhythm...
Yu Cang picked out a formula.
[Race: Dragon] + [Behemoth]!
It is relatively simple and pure. Yu Cang just wants to find a monster with a panel that can crush the opponent in the early stage.
However, the implantation failed.
Yu Cang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
That's right... the success rate of this formula is not high. I'm already very lucky to have a Dragon Hunter today, so I won't ask for more.
Let’s do an experiment first... Let’s use Duan Feng’s Pale Scaled Crown Dragon to try out its feasibility first.
Yu Cang put away the soul card and came to the testing site.
After activating the test site's shield, Yu Cang raised his hand: "I summon: the gray-white half-dragon!"
The two soul cards were turned over, and a familiar figure rushed out from them.
These two summoned beasts just consume a tube of soul energy.
Yu Cang quietly waited for the recovery of soul energy.
Until a certain moment, the soul energy is finally restored.
Yu Cang smiled lightly - if it were a real battle, the silent round would just end at this time.
So……
"I summon: The Saint of the Breach!"
Click!
A figure wearing a black robe with dragon patterns slowly walked out. This time, as soon as he appeared, Yu Cang immediately said, "I will set up a connection anchor point with three summoned beasts. Summon: Link 3, Dragon Hunter!"
Buzz!
The three summoned beasts simultaneously transformed into a torrent of information, circling down and crashing into an anchor ring that appeared out of thin air. Then, a lance of exaggerated length passed through it, and the anchor ring was finally fixed on the guard of the lance. The three anchors flashed with a faint blue light.
The one holding the lance was a burly humanoid summoned beast. Estimated to be over two and a half meters tall, it wore only crude, rough cloth armor. Beneath its bulging muscles, patches of dark dragon scales could be seen spreading across its skin, giving it an exceptionally ferocious appearance.
Its hair was dancing wildly on its head, and there were no pupils in its eyes, only the most primitive darkness.
Dragon Hunter!
call……
The hunter slowly leveled the lance in his hand. Judging from the visual, the lance was estimated to be about four meters long and quite heavy.
Click!
The [Falling Scales] of the two half-dragon men were activated, and a total of six dragon scales fell to the ground. At the same time, [Dragon's Will] was also triggered, and a soul card flipped open in mid-air. The huge body of the pale scale-crowned dragon flew out of it and fell heavily to the ground!
Yu Cang's eyes lit up.
It really works!
In this way, once the silent round is over, it is equivalent to having two epic summoned beasts on the field... and there is no negative effect of the Chaos Dragon Egg. The strength is even more exaggerated than Duan Feng's deck!
Of course, the disadvantages are equally obvious.
With the two epics present, his soul energy recovery speed suddenly slowed to the extreme. It took more than twenty seconds to restore a tube of soul energy, which was quite disadvantageous for long-term combat.
If the enemy cannot be killed quickly, the huge difference in soul energy will give the opponent a chance to counterattack.
This could actually be seen during the battle with Duan Feng - Duan Feng's soul energy recovery speed was much slower than his own, which gave him enough time to clear the situation and avoid sudden death.
Even at the last moment, he had to give Duan Feng some time before he could recover enough soul energy.
Obviously, Duan Feng has a companion spirit that can share the mental pressure, so the deck design originally maximized the mental pressure, according to the double portion. Duan Feng was just deliberately not using Aqiu's power at the time, which is why he was so embarrassed.
Yu Cang has no companion soul, so the use of soul cards still requires more consideration.
When his soul energy was finally almost recovered, Yu Cang threw down another gray-white half-dragon, and then used these three summoned beasts as anchors to create the resident.
When a linked summoned beast becomes a linked material, it can be considered just one material, or it can be considered a material with an anchor number.
For example, link3 can be regarded as one material, or all three anchor points can be directly left to the next connected summoned beast, but it cannot be regarded as two - because these three anchor points are a whole and cannot be split.
In this way, he got the Chaos Dragon Scale.
After sending the dragon scale into death cooling, Yu Cang saw the information of the dragon scale:
Soul Card Name: Chaos Dragon Scale
Category: Equipment Card
Quality: None
Attributes: None
ability:
[Chaos]: When used as any form of summoning material, the attribute can be changed to light or dark as needed.
[Fusion]: After use, multiple units on the field, including this card, are sent to death cooldown and summoned into fusion state.
[Death Fusion]: When it is in Death Cooldown, disconnect multiple units including this card in Death Cooldown and summon them into Fusion State.
…
"Fuck!"
Yu Cang's eyes widened.
