Chapter 272 Confirming the relationship, the weakness of the Gu secret room
In the audience
"This..." Miao Xue widened her eyes, her pupils trembling constantly.
What did she see?
Gu Jieshuang... with just one slap, she actually unleashed a legendary attack?
Yes, in her eyes, Gu Jieshuang just slapped her.
After all, due to the failure of synchronization, the real legendary "Frost Sky Slash" was not summoned out. It was just that the dust transformed from the [Shattered Return] around Gu Jieshuang had a chance to use [Slash].
[Kill All]: Each time this Soul Card is activated, the first attack becomes sword energy, and gains extremely high attack bonus and attack range bonus.
Although he had the ability, he had no sword in his hand. In desperation, Gu Jieshuang could only use his hand as a sword to "fan" away Han Tian's attack.
Judging from the visual effects, the scene was indeed a bit exaggerated... A single sword slashed across the entire arena, and everything it passed through became a wall of perpetual frost...
Moreover, I don’t know if it was a bad taste, but although Gu Jieshuang’s sword energy was slashed towards Chang Kong, the attack trajectory extended backwards... Miao Xue was sitting right on the seat at the end of this sword energy.
Just now, when that slap was raised and the surging snow flow rolled back, Miao Xue, who was sitting in the audience, seemed to have witnessed an avalanche with her own eyes. In the face of such terrifying power, the transparent protective shield in front of her could not give her the slightest sense of security. She was about to stand up and run away.
She already has the mustard seed flying Gu in her hand!
Fortunately, she suppressed the impulse.
But... the scene before her made her unable to calm down for a long time.
The originally transparent protective shield in front of him now had a shape... a shape outlined by the ice.
A thin layer of ice crystals covered the inside of the protective shield, with many snowflake-like crystals on it. Under the illumination of the arena lights, it looked very beautiful.
The closer to Changkong, the thicker the ice crystal layer on the protective shield became. In the center, there was an ice mark running through it from top to bottom. Miao Xue's eyes fell on the ice mark, her heart still pounding.
I saw that the protective shield behind the ice mark...had cracks.
The ice marks were naturally the marks left by the slashing blow, and these cracks were obviously caused by that slashing blow.
The ice wall froze the cracked part of the protective shield inside, so Miao Xue couldn't tell for a moment whether the protective shield had successfully blocked the slash or the slash had already broken through the protective shield and simply froze it again.
No matter what, judging from the marks on the protective shield, the level of this slash is definitely legendary!
That Changkong...
Miao Xue swallowed quietly.
It can’t be true, right?
…
aside
Yu Cang, who was sitting one seat away from Miao Xue, silently moved his body further away from her.
scary.
…
In the venue.
At this moment, the scene is covered with ice and snow.
After the snow flowed past, its force lingered for a long time, and it even started to snow lightly in this enclosed space.
Gu Jieshuang let out a light breath and waved his hand to cancel all the soul cards.
Turning around, he found that the red light on the ground had dissipated at some point, and this troublesome field card was also destroyed along with his sword just now.
...No, to be precise, it was before my own sword.
Gu Jieshuang's memory is still quite clear.
The moment the synchronization happened, the field card collapsed on its own.
Now that I think about it... maybe the parasitic ability of the "Gu Secret Room" also has a limit.
Perhaps, at that moment, the Nightmare Eater's energy absorption exceeded its capacity, exploding the Gu chamber. Alternatively, the Legendary Equipment Card's energy was too strong, causing the Gu to suffer a backlash. Or perhaps it was a combination of both.
Although it becomes stronger when facing a stronger opponent, if the enemy's strength exceeds the limit, then this line of defense will become more vulnerable than ever before.
In mid-air, the soul card had gone out, indicating that the opponent's duel shield had been broken and the duel was over. So Gu Jieshuang directly let her aunt enter the ice wall and shattered all the ice layers.
Bang! Snap! Crash...
Ice crystals mixed in with the fine snow, falling to the ground with a crackling sound. On the opposite side, the frozen Chang Kong broke free from the ice and suddenly knelt on the ground, gasping for breath.
Gu Jieshuang finally relaxed when she saw that Chang Kong was not seriously injured.
No matter what, they are here to communicate. If you accidentally hurt them, it would be unacceptable no matter what.
Even with the intensity of the attack just now, if it were to be realized, it might not just be a simple injury...
Fortunately, Gu Jieshuang has an aunt.
Just now, it was because of my aunt's secret control of the force that the attack only broke Chang Kong's duel shield without injuring him. It was also because of my aunt that the outer layer of the shield was frozen the moment it was broken, preventing it from spreading to the outside.
Although the aunt can only exert the power of a rare card now due to Gu Jieshuang's strength, her understanding of power is there after all. This Frost Sky Slash is also derived from her power, so apart from other things, just holding back the power is still very easy.
"You lost." Gu Jieshuang said calmly.
"Ha, ha... what is that?" Chang Kong still looked confused and surprised.
Miao Xue was already so scared while sitting in the audience, and the pressure in his heart could be imagined as he faced this attack head-on.
At that moment, he seemed to see his grandmother waving at him.
The pressure didn't even show on his face before he was frozen in the ice wall, leaving him no time to react.
In the last second, he was sure of victory and full of confidence, but in the next second, he was slapped at the feet of his grandmother. Who could bear such a huge drop?
“…It’s sword intent.”
"You!" Chang Kong glared.
It's this sentence again.
So what exactly is this ghost sword intent?
It actually allows a fifth-level soul card master like you to use legendary power. Does such a thing really exist?
You are not playing the corpse of the ancient demon!
Moreover, for some reason, Gu Jieshuang's extremely calm tone seemed full of sarcasm to him.
Thinking of her constant expression throughout the fight, with only a frown at best, Chang Kong felt aggrieved... Could it be that you never used your full strength from beginning to end? Could it be that the disadvantage you were in just now was just a prank?
Do you have to be so discouraging?
Gu Jieshuang naturally didn't know what Chang Kong was thinking.
Her expressionless face was just a subconscious reaction when facing strangers. She had no intention of targeting anyone. She had won the battle just now in a thrilling way, not as easy as Chang Kong had imagined.
If she hadn't learned the technique of synchronization to a higher level during the training a few days ago, she might have really lost today.
Looking at Chang Kong's expression of disbelief, Gu Jieshuang shook her head and prepared to turn around and leave.
She had only been able to attempt that strike after successfully summoning Frost Sky Slash in the Snowy Mountains. After striking the sword, she seemed to grasp something in her mind. She now only wanted to go back and think it over, and no longer had the heart to waste time chatting with Chang Kong.
"Wait!" Seeing Gu Jieshuang about to leave, Chang Kong quickly climbed up from the melting ice and snow on the ground. "Your name is Gu Jieshuang... To be able to swing that sword, your strength must be outstanding in the Battle Club, right? We will definitely meet again in this college league. Then, we can have another fight!"
Gu Jieshuang stopped.
She turned around with a strange expression on her face.
"Sorry, you may not see me in the college league."
"Ah?" Chang Kong was stunned. "Why?"
"Because... I'm only a sophomore."
For the first time since entering the arena, Gu Jieshuang showed a visible smile, and for a moment it was as if a glacier had melted, but the words she said made Chang Kong feel a chill in his heart.
"Your opponent should be the boss, the one you were originally going to challenge, Yu Cang." Gu Jieshuang's eyes seemed to be filled with pity. "That sword strike just now was the soul card that the boss prepared for me... The boss has a lot of such cards - I wish you good luck."
With a slight smile, Gu Jieshuang turned around and left, leaving Chang Kong alone, standing there in a daze.
Wha…what? ! !
The one who defeated me was actually a sophomore! !?
Yes, no wonder I have never heard of her name. She is not from the same class as me. Even if I collect intelligence, I can’t get any information on her.
But, but.
How is this possible!
He is the acting president of the Miaodu University Combat Club, and is ranked second in combat. He is afraid of no one except the president. In the future, he will be the man who dominates the college league!
How could it be that as soon as I arrived in the ancient capital, I was defeated by... a schoolmate?
If the schoolmate is so strong, how outrageous must the other people in Gudu University be... Could not everyone be at the same level as our president?
Gu Jieshuang's last words left a deep blow in Chang Kong's heart.
Yu Cang has a lot of soul cards like the one just now...?
For a moment, Chang Kong felt that the entire sky had suddenly turned dark, and a strong sense of fear surged in his heart.
When Gu Jieshuang swung his sword, he almost saw his own grandmother. What if Yu Cang took action personally... It turned out that Gu Jieshuang actually saved his life?
My savior...!
Woo woo woo, Gudu University is so scary, he doesn’t want to play anymore, he wants to go home!
…
Gu Jieshuang came to the audience, walked forward, and naturally took Yu Cang's arm.
"Let's go, boss." Gu Jieshuang smiled lightly, "How is it? I didn't embarrass you, did I?"
"Of course not." Yu Cang smiled.
Beside her, Miao Xue's mouth twitched.
Although this sounds normal, it seems more and more wrong to Miao Xue.
Gu Jieshuang did not embarrass Yu Cang, so what she meant was... that idiot Chang Kong embarrassed herself, didn't he?
...Well, Gu Jieshuang doesn't need to tell you that Chang Kong is indeed embarrassing.
Although judging from the last sword strike, it was not his fault, but whether it was the loss of a huge advantage, the crushing defeat at the hands of a schoolmate, or even the few sword strikes during the duel that he failed to react to, it was enough for her to remember for the rest of her life.
Behind Miao Xue, several young people looked at each other.
Some of them are members of the Combat Society, and some are researchers. This time they all followed Miao Zhenguo to the ancient capital to "see the world."
Is this... the "world" that Miao Zhenguo mentioned?
Indeed, it is shocking...
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." Miao Xue stood up and bowed apologetically to Yu Cang. "I'll go back and teach Chang Kong a lesson. Don't worry, he won't bother you again."
"That's not true." Gu Jieshuang kept smiling, "I also benefited a lot from this duel."
"Hehe... Well, see you at the summit in a few days. I wish you all the best, Yu Cang."
After saying this, Miao Xue couldn't stay any longer, so she turned around and left.
Gu Jieshuang and Yu Cang stood there without moving until their figures disappeared from their sight.
Seeing Miao Xue's figure disappear from his sight, Gu Jieshuang breathed a sigh of relief.
It's really difficult for her to maintain such a strong aura in front of strangers.
Fortunately, I didn’t lose face.
Alas, having an excellent boss can sometimes be a hassle.
Thinking of this, Gu Jieshuang moved and was about to pull her hand out of Yu Cang's elbow, but a hand had already reached over.
"That's good." Yu Cang said with a smile, "Don't let go."
"You——" Gu Jieshuang pulled her hand away, but it didn't move. Then her cheeks puffed up, and her small hand quietly hit Yu Cang's waist hard, "Let me go!"
"Hiss..." Yu Cang felt pain, but he still held on tightly and did not let go.
This time, it was much gentler than the sword strike just now in the arena.
His strength was far inferior to Gu Jieshuang's, which meant that as long as he was not swung and thrown out by Gu Jieshuang, she was just throwing a tantrum.
If you really let go at this time, you may be executed later.
"I haven't settled the score with you yet!" Gu Jieshuang glared fiercely, her tone extremely fierce, but she didn't resist any more, instead she hugged Yu Cang's arm even tighter, "You're cheating on me... Tell me! How many women like Miao Xue have you been secretly dating?"
"What are you talking about?" Yu Cang was at a loss for words. "Miao Xue, didn't I tell you that... We haven't been in touch since the major armament overhaul."
"Really?" Gu Jieshuang looked suspicious and moved closer quietly.
"Of course!" Yu Cang assured. "You know, I've been staying in the lab all the time. I don't have time to get to know anyone... Eh?"
Yu Cang wanted to continue speaking, but suddenly he felt a force pressing directly against his side. He had no way to resist and took a few steps back, his back resting against the outside of the arena's protective shield.
At this moment, because the remaining power in the arena has not dissipated yet, the inside of the protective shield is still covered with a layer of ice crystals. From a distance, it looks like blooming ice flowers, shocking people.
Gu Jieshuang pushed Yu Cang and pressed him in front of the protective shield.
"Wait, what are you going to do... um..."
As mentioned before, Yu Cang's strength was not enough in front of Gu Jieshuang. Facing her sudden wall-dong, Yu Cang only had time to say half a sentence before he saw Gu Jieshuang close her eyes, lightly tiptoe, and put her little head in front of him.
For the first time, Yu Cang truly experienced the feeling of "breathing like orchid".
The next second, his mouth was sealed and he couldn't make any sound.
This time, it's not a one-touch split.
After a long time, Gu Jieshuang took a step back, opened her eyes, and looked at Yu Cang with a smile.
Her face was very red, but this time, her eyes were gentle and firm, looking straight at him without a trace of avoidance.
Looking into her eyes, Yu Cang felt his heart beating like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins and couldn't find the reins.
Oh my god... What's wrong with Gu Jieshuang today? She is so aggressive. Let's give her back the shy Gu Jieshuang!
For some unknown reason, Yu Cang blinked and whispered, "So... what is our relationship now?"
"Need I say more?" Gu Jieshuang snorted.
She tapped Yu Cang's chest with her finger: "This is Gu Jieshuang's boyfriend."
Then he pointed at himself with the same finger: "This is Yu Cang's girlfriend - Okay, Gu Jieshuang's boyfriend, do you have any opinions?"
Yu Cang didn't know what to say: "Uh...no."
"That's settled." Gu Jieshuang reached out and took off her hairband. For a moment, her long hair spread out in all directions. She put the hairband on Yu Cang's wrist without saying anything. "Put it on... I know you're very charming. If you meet someone like Miao Xue next time, show this to her. Do you understand?"
Miao Xue's appearance made Gu Jieshuang feel alarmed.
Although the boss's attitude has always been firm and reassuring, her little heart can't stand it if it keeps happening.
A genius like the boss is bound to meet all kinds of women. I am lucky enough to get to know her first and take the initiative, but it seems unreasonable to keep relying on this uncertain relationship.
Forget it, it’s just a matter of time. Gu Jieshuang, be firm!
The boss has fulfilled his promise. The treatment for Gu's hypothermia has been found, and it is only a matter of time before it is successfully cured.
"good--"
"Hmph." Gu Jieshuang was very proud. She turned around and waved, "Okay, Qi'er, stop peeking. We're leaving!"
When she was suddenly called, the girl subconsciously shrank the half of her head that was exposed behind the seat, and then she laughed and ran out.
"Oh, brother and sister, I'm here!"
The girl's face was also red.
The three of them walked out of the arena.
"Come to think of it, I haven't even asked yet." Yu Cang said, "Just now, how did you synchronize your sword strike?"
"Well..." Gu Jieshuang tapped her lips lightly with her finger, a thoughtful look in her eyes. "Actually, I'm confused right now too...but at that moment, I suddenly thought of the feeling of Xue Shan using Frost Sky Slash. Somewhere in my gut, I knew that if I started to synchronize, it would definitely succeed! So, I did."
"But you know, in my opinion, such synchronization is theoretically impossible."
"Really?" Gu Jieshuang tilted her head, "But I did succeed..."
"Jie Shuang." Yu Cang suddenly said, "Do you know... that sword you swung just now, rather than being a successful 'synchronization', it's more like - sword intent."
"Ah?" Gu Jieshuang's eyes widened. "Sword... sword intent?"
In an instant, she suddenly felt as if she had been enlightened.
She knew what that vague feeling she had just grasped was!
This sword carried the feeling of swinging the sword on the snowy mountain, and it felt very similar to the time when Ning Xingyi and Feng fought in the Xingtian Vision Area!
Although they are completely different things, I can feel that there is some kind of subtle connection between them.
They all use their own perceptions to communicate with the rhythm in the dark, using the swordless body as a sword and making it work with ease!
But this made Gu Jieshuang feel deflated again.
Although he knew what he had just realized...but in an instant, the huge gap made him feel despair.
This sword of his was guided by the sword intent·Cold Sky Snow Waterfall and took the shape of Breaking the Seal·Cold Sky. Combining the past insights and the perception of the star level, he was able to release it with the help of the technique of synchronization.
This sword could only be said to have touched the edge of the sword intent, and was a million miles away from the true sword intent. With such a gap, even if he really had some realization, it would be like squirming in the long journey of the sky, and he would not see the opportunity to truly master this power.
It is precisely because I have seen it with my own eyes that I know how insignificant my own "perception" is.
"Why are you discouraged?" Yu Cang seemed to know what Gu Jieshuang was thinking. "Jieshuang, you are still very young. It took Senior Ning a long time to comprehend the sword intent. You can already touch the threshold of the sword intent now, which is beyond most of your contemporaries."
"Okay~Thank you, boss!" Gu Jieshuang patted his face.
"Come to think of it, you're really brave," Yu Cang said with a smile. "To deal with Chang Kong, you actually used such an exaggerated attack... Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
"I have my aunt here." Gu Jieshuang snorted, "Besides, I'm just a little annoyed with Chang Kong... When faced with a strong opponent, I must use a stronger one and not give him the chance to be arrogant!"
"You really are." Yu Cang smiled and shook his head.
"Don't worry, even if I made a mistake, I know what to do." Gu Jieshuang said, "Besides, if I fight Chang Kong again now, I won't have to go through so much trouble. I guarantee that he won't be able to fight back!"
"That's true." Yu Cang nodded.
Judging from the current situation, the shortcomings of this deck that is often empty are too obvious.
Although it becomes stronger when facing a strong opponent, it is also really weak when facing a weak opponent.
There wasn't a single summoned beast on the field. If Gu Jieshuang hadn't been so suspicious at the beginning and had simply picked up the Dust-Sealed Holy Sword and resolved the battle quickly without using any abilities, there wouldn't have been so much trouble.
Gu Jieshuang suffered a loss when she first saw the killer.
It would be easier if Yu Cang came.
Directly summon the Saint of Breach, who is not affected by any ability, and rushes forward to hack the enemy to death.
Or he could pull out the Source Eye Chaos Dragon, a "blank slate" monster with a very high panel, and Chang Kong would have no way to deal with it.
Even... Yu Cang guessed that the three gray-white half-dragons could possibly control the sky alone. After all, these three half-dragons didn't have any abilities that needed to be activated, so those powerful Gu had no chance of being triggered.
Making materials will trigger the Food Nightmare? Then why don't I just not make materials... You can't resist it anyway.
…
"How many times have I told you not to be so arrogant?" Miao Xue was furious. "Chang Kong, it was Grandma's idea to be your teacher, not that I had to play some role-playing game. Since I'm your instructor, you must accept my improvements to your deck. Otherwise, find someone else!"
In front of her, Chang Kong was silent.
He was indeed in the wrong, so he didn't say anything.
Originally, he wanted to pursue Miao Xue first, and then accept the deck transformation as a matter of course... But today's performance left him speechless.
"Let's not talk about anything else." Miao Xue knocked on the table. "The side effects of your Gu secret room are so strong, why do you keep thinking about it?"
"I understand..." Chang Kong gritted his teeth, "Next, I will follow the teacher's arrangements..."
The side effects of the Gu secret room are indeed serious.
The conditions for using this venue are very simple, but the effects are comprehensive. Such a soul card definitely comes at a price.
As long as the Gu Chamber is activated, all the summoned beasts with flesh and blood will be sacrificed immediately... However, only the sacrificed Gu insects can provide power for the Gu Chamber. The other summoned beasts are sacrificed and can only serve as "blood food".
The combat style of the Gu Secret Room is extremely dependent on the opponent, so in reality, the combat effectiveness is very unstable.
However, Chang Kong's deck is filled with poisonous insects. Basically, he has corresponding poisonous insects to deal with different decks, so he will not encounter any situations that are too difficult to solve. It is precisely because he is willing to put a lot of effort into collecting intelligence before the game that he can become the acting president.
But... there are some people who are impossible to defeat even if the intelligence is completely transparent.
For example, Gu Jieshuang... and also, the president of their Combat Club.
Thanks to Xiangnan Muyun and Weihuohunv for the rewards!
