Chapter 283: Shepherd Soul Construction
"That's..." Lü Zihe's eyes widened, his tone rather incredulous. "Why is that Zerg summoned beast completely unaffected by the 'Garden of Trees and Flowers'?"
The scene was so shocking.
The two gargoyles had just appeared, and their [Shock] hadn't been stacked up yet. At this moment, their speed was just like that of an old lady, ridiculously slow.
Not to mention a falling attack, even a normal attack with flapping wings would miss the target.
No, it’s not that the two gargoyles are too slow, but rather that... the speed of that bug is really too fast.
It was almost impossible to describe it. Lu Zihe felt that his naked eyes were completely unable to capture its trajectory... Wait!
Lu Zihe opened his eyes wide.
Could it be... ?
At this moment, Xing Su frowned and said, "Why is this bug so fast... And did you notice that the bug's attack can actually penetrate Lan Jun's shield directly?"
This is simply against common sense!
In a duel between soul card masters, how to bypass the summoned beast in the front and attack the opponent's soul card master is a very important compulsory course. Some soul card masters can still rely on various operations and tactics to ensure the integrity of their duel shields even if they are at a disadvantage, so as to wait for the opportunity to turn the tables.
And this little bug...
With this ability, you don't have to worry about these things at all. Just attack the opponent's summoned beast directly. Looking at the speed of the little bugs, ordinary summoned beasts can't do anything about it. Once entangled, it can be said that your duel shield is already a candle in the wind.
Judging from the speed of scraping, it won’t be long before the shield is broken!
Xing Su's face was solemn.
If this set was placed on other soul cards, it would be nothing, but he clearly saw that this soul card was just transformed from an ordinary little bug. From his perception, the soul energy consumption of that soul card was ordinary, and it was estimated that one tube of soul energy could summon several of them.
And the summoning method called Link Summoning didn't even seem to consume any extra soul energy... Judging from Yu Cang's expression, his mental stress should be very low.
With such consumption and maintenance costs, how could such a powerful soul card be summoned? This is a bit unreasonable, right?
With such soul energy consumption, even with a soul card that specializes in speed, it would be impossible to prevent them from even seeing the trajectory of movement, right?
"...Because it's not that they're too fast." Lu Zihe suddenly said, "That bug... no, those two bugs are using their air attribute to teleport!"
Only then did she see clearly what the two bugs had done.
The two insects must have the ability to summon each other, so they can use this ability to constantly refresh their status in the deep garden of trees and flowers to ensure that the existence time of each summoned beast does not exceed three seconds.
This ability... is truly magnificent.
It doesn't feel like fighting, but more like dancing.
"...Is it teleportation?" Xing Su opened his eyes wide, and a hint of realization flashed in his eyes.
Looking at it this way...it does make sense...how is it reasonable?
How could such a powerful attribute as the Void Attribute appear in a Soul Card below the epic level, and how could it be summoned so easily!
This doesn't seem right no matter how you think about it!
Xing Su wanted to say something but hesitated. After thinking for a long time, he still didn't know what to say.
"...As expected of Yu Cang." Xing Su could only manage to say this.
"Don't just stand there admiring him." Lu Zihe leaned closer and asked with interest, "Xing Su, it's your turn next. Last time, you were level 5 against level 4, but you couldn't beat Yu Cang. So, how do you plan to win this time?"
"...I've made some progress too." Xing Su snorted. "Besides, Lan Jun can't do anything to these two Void-attributed bugs, but I'm different... In the final analysis, as long as I kill them quickly and interrupt their mutual summoning chain, I can solve the problem."
"Really? Then I'll wait and see." Lu Zihe said with a smile.
"Hmph..." Xing Su looked at the bald man so close to him and couldn't help but move his body away.
This Lu Zihe... He is usually carefree and can get along with anyone. No wonder he doesn't have a boyfriend.
For some reason, Xing Su suddenly felt something strange when he was so close to Lu Zihe.
…
On the court
"Damn it." Lan Jun waved his hand and cancelled the maintenance of the Deep Garden of Trees and Flowers.
Before canceling it, [Shock] was activated for the last time, and two scarred gargoyles fell to the ground, but this time, they did not rise again.
As [Shock] takes effect more and more times, the gargoyle's defense is also increasing, and Kong and Xu are becoming less and less able to break through... But this is not important. Being entangled by these two little bugs, the gargoyle has no energy left to attack Yu Cang's body.
At this moment, Lan Jun's duel shield was already covered with cracks and was about to break.
The field card deployed by the ability of "Night-Wandering Great Elf User" will be forced to exit the field after the Great Elf User's death cooldown ends, but now, the Great Elf User's death cooldown has obviously not ended yet, it's just that Lan Jun himself can't hold on anymore.
He realized that if he continued like this, he would definitely die a chronic death. It wouldn't be long before he would be defeated by Kong and Xu's repeated attacks, so he had to cancel.
After the venue card was removed from the stage, the mental pressure returned to normal, and the soul energy began to recover at an accelerated rate. Lan Jun raised his hand and activated a soul card.
"I summon: Midnight Fairy! Activate [Midnight Chant]!"
A classic operation for a night garden tour.
[Midnight Chant] can put everyone indiscriminately to sleep, and it works very well with many soul cards.
But now, Lan Jun's operation is obviously not that simple.
Because as soon as he raised his hand, he summoned two midnight goblins!
The two midnight fairies released the [Midnight Chant] one after the other, and two halos of power swept across the field, with a distance of only a few dozen centimeters between them. Coupled with the extremely fast speed, there was no room for Yu Cang to operate.
Connecting summons also requires a certain amount of time. With these two abilities, even if Yu Cang can use connecting summons to dodge the first one, he cannot dodge the second one.
After all, he is only level five now. No matter how good his operation is, there is always a limit.
So this time, he couldn't dodge it. Two powers passed by, and Kong fell into a deep sleep.
At the same time, the two gargoyles also came to life, and beside the midnight elf who was also in a deep sleep, a dream spirit flew out of each of them, flapping its wings and joining the battlefield.
Seeing this scene, Lan Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, I can still fight..." Lan Jun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then forced himself to cheer up, raised his head, and said to Yu Cang, "Now, your two bugs have lost their fighting power... After all, I still have the upper hand..."
"Really?" Yu Cang smiled softly, "Lan Jun, have you forgotten something?"
"Hmm? What?"
Yu Cang shook his head, waved his hand, and took out two soul cards.
Sword of Judgment!
Swish!
Two long swords made of energy flew out through the air!
Lan Jun's mind moved, and he quickly controlled Meng Ling to dodge, and ordered the gargoyle to attack Yu Cang directly, trying to attack Wei to save Zhao. However, in just a blink of an eye, he found...
This sword of judgment is aimed at him!
broken!
Lan Jun's face turned pale.
He had forgotten that his Duel Shield had run out of durability... In normal games, the Duel Shield was considered the least important resource, and was used to "sell blood" in various rhythm-grabbing stages.
After all, if the situation is suppressing, the duel shield can be broken in a few seconds. It is really unnecessary to steal that little bit of shield durability - if the soul card master spends a lot of soul energy to attack the duel shield instead of clearing the situation, then he can just push it down in one wave.
So at this time, he made a fatal mistake.
Bang!
It was too late for Lan Jun to react. The two swords of judgment fell, and the duel shield, which had already reached its limit, finally couldn't bear the weight and shattered directly.
"The duel is over, and the winner is Yu Cang!" Qin Yueran, the referee, said loudly.
"I lost..." Lan Jun's expression was a little gloomy.
"Alright, hurry down." Qin Yueran said with a smile, "Looking at your performance this time, I'm afraid there are not many people who can beat you."
The suppressing power of those two gargoyles is truly extraordinary. Apart from Yu Cang, it is really difficult to deal with others.
"I know, teacher."
Lan Jun stood up and bowed to Yu Cang from a distance: "Thank you again, Yu Cang."
"You're welcome." Yu Cang responded with a smile.
Watching Lan Jun walk out of the venue, Qin Yueran turned his head and asked, "Do you need to rest for a while?"
"No need, let's go to the next one." Yu Cang directly put Kong and the half-dragon headhunter who was still sleeping into the deck.
"Okay." Qin Yueran nodded.
Indeed, in this battle, Yu Cang didn't even have many soul cards enter death cooldown.
In the next game, Yu Cang will face Xing Su!
…
A familiar figure walked onto the stage.
"Nice to meet you again." Xing Su grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.
"Hello, Xing Su."
"Yu Cang, this time, my deck has been upgraded. It won't be that easy for you to defeat me again!"
"Then I'll wait and see."
bite!
Silent round begins!
"I summon!" Xing Su immediately raised his hand, "The Archlich's burial tomb! The Soul Box!"
Rumble...
The earth trembled, and a huge crack opened up behind him. A tomb made of steel rose from the ground. The triangular entrance of the tomb was filled with cold fog, which made people feel cold.
Buzz...
The soil loosened, and a withered arm stretched out from the tomb entrance, followed by a skeletal body...
Bury the corpse!
Every once in a while, the Ossuary will produce a Corpse, which is the most basic source of soul power for this deck.
Yu Cang raised his hand and summoned a half-dragon headhunter just like the last time!
A bloody aura spread from the shadow of the soul card, and a half-dragon man wearing sloppy cloth armor slowly stepped out with extraordinary momentum.
He had three of this Soul Card! Now, he was trying to see if he could start with this Soul Card.
Theoretically speaking...it should be better than starting with two half-dragons.
In terms of the number of dragon scales, this soul card has fewer, but not too few.
Unlike other half-dragons, Yu Cang adjusted the way this soul card produces dragon scales. Now, when this soul card appears, it is automatically equipped with three chaos dragon scales!
Yes, equip them directly! The dragon scales will float directly behind the Headhunter. These three dragon scales are Chaos Dragon Scales, the kind that can directly activate fusion!
In addition, the headhunter will drop a chaos dragon scale when he dies, which adds up to four dragon scales!
Although it is not as good as the six dragon scales of the two gray-white dragonmen combined, the headhunter can do more and is stronger.
With the Dragon Scale Hunter, Yu Cang no longer worried about the efficiency of obtaining dragon scales, so the intensity of the scene became his issue to consider.
A truly powerful deck must be strong from beginning to end!
Looking at the headhunter that appeared, Xing Su's expression became a little more serious.
I've seen this soul card before, but as soon as it appeared, it was put into a three-second sleep by Lan Jun's Garden of Trees and Flowers, so I didn't have time to see what effect it had.
No matter what, a summoned beast that requires a whole tube of soul energy to summon cannot be a weakling.
While he was thinking, his soul energy had been fully restored.
bite!
The silent round ends!
Xing Su immediately stretched out his hand, and a soul card was turned out.
"I summon: Dead Wizard!"
Buzz!
A ghostly figure shrouded in a robe quietly appeared in the black fog!
But Yu Cang didn't care and raised his hand to launch the Sword of Judgment!
whoosh!
The Sword of Judgment flew out, aiming directly at the Treasure Box of the Dead Souls!
When a Revenant Crate receives fatal damage, it can place a Lich Soul card in its deck on Death Cooldown, thereby making it immune to the attack. Furthermore, it can consume Soul Power to directly summon a Summoned Beast on Death Cooldown.
Therefore, although the Soul Crate is the core of this deck, directly attacking the Crate will put you at a disadvantage.
This resource operation method seems very powerful, but it actually has a fatal weakness.
That is... as long as Yu Cang causes enough fatal damage to the Soul Box multiple times in a short period of time, he can directly empty Xing Su's entire deck!
As long as he completes this process quickly enough and Xing Su does not obtain enough soul power, the battle can end early!
Your entire deck is on death cooldown, and you're still counting on those corpses in the ossuary to turn the tables?
In the first battle with Xing Su, Yu Cang was level four against a level five opponent. He did not have enough soul energy and could not organize a strong enough offensive in the early stage. If he rashly attacked the Soul Box, he would easily fall into Xing Su's trap, thus losing the initiative or even being defeated directly.
Therefore, he chose a safer way, competing with the opponent for resources, and then cutting off the connection with all the big brothers in Xing Su's deck.
But now, with sufficient soul energy, Yu Cang can naturally choose a more radical way of fighting!
Go straight to the treasure box of the dead soul!
brush!
The Sword of Judgment was so fast that it pierced through the treasure box in the blink of an eye!
Click!
This attack triggered the effect of the treasure box, and Xing Su directly chose to send his ace summoned beast "Dragon Bone Hall·Shepherd Soul Lich" into death cooling!
After completing this attack, the Sword of Judgment, a spell card, slowly faded away and was about to disappear into the air.
…
In the audience
Wang Chu shook his head.
"Yu Cang is too impulsive."
"Oh?" Yan He turned around, "What do you mean?"
"Using the Sword of Judgment to attack the Soul Chest is a loss no matter how you look at it."
Sword of Judgment is a spell card. After completing an attack, it will disappear immediately no matter what, and has no ability to continue fighting.
Soul card masters with better operation skills may be able to use the Sword of Judgment to complete more actions in a shorter period of time, but in general, the operation time is very limited.
There's no way, this is a spell card.
The Sword of Judgment consumes a lot of soul energy, about one third of Yu Cang's soul energy. Originally, the damage of the Sword of Judgment on the Soul Box was enough to kill it instantly, but... the Soul Box could die in place of him, so this attack was too wasteful.
Using so much soul energy only consumed one of the opponent's substitutionary deaths. This made no sense at all and would help Xing Su to move faster.
"But I think," Yan He thought for a moment, "Yu Cang shouldn't be such a reckless person..."
"I don't think so either, but this step is right in front of us... The Soul Box and the Sword of Judgment are both Soul Cards I'm familiar with. I've memorized their abilities and effects. What else could go wrong?"
Wang Chu just shook his head.
He is a spell user himself and knows spells very well.
Yu Cang's behavior fully exploited the shortcomings of the spell soul card.
"Is that so..." Yan He said nothing and turned his gaze to the field again.
…
"Yu Cang, are you crazy?" Xing Su frowned. "If you want me to do this, then there's no need! I won't necessarily lose to you this time!"
"Really?" Yu Cang smiled softly, "I'm sorry to have made you think too much, but I respect every duel - I activate the spell card: Judgment Arrow Rain!"
Buzz!
A huge soul card opened diagonally above Yu Cang's head, and countless energy arrows shot out from it!
Xing Su frowned even more tightly.
What is this for?
The Judgment Arrow Rain only has a large range, but the damage is very low. This round of arrow rain can only kill one's own buried corpses at most, and cannot even kill a dead wizard with low defense.
But, cleaning up the buried bones? Wouldn't that increase one's soul power?
Where on earth is Yu Cang... Wait!
Xing Su's eyes suddenly narrowed.
This is……
"I'll use the Sword of Judgment and the Rain of Judgment Arrows to establish a connection anchor!" Yu Cang raised his hand, and an invisible rhythm spread out, stirring the air into ripples like water. "Summon: Dictator Sword!"
Buzz!
The Sword of Judgment that was about to disappear suddenly stopped, and then turned into a torrent of information and rolled back!
At the same time, the rain of arrows in the sky was captured by some force at this moment, stopped in the air, and then gathered in Yu Cangping's hands in front of him along a trajectory like a vortex!
In an instant, the rain of arrows from the sky rolled back, as if thousands of arrows were returning to their origin!
Click!
Dictatorship Arrow Rain is a soul card, so it can only be considered a connection anchor.
In front of Yu Cang, the rain of arrows gathered into a torrent of information, and together with another torrent transformed from the Sword of Judgment, crashed into the anchor ring.
Click! Click!
clang!
Yu Cang held the anchor ring in front of him and pulled it out with a long sword! The unstoppable torrent of information was dispersed with a single slash.
A light that seemed real and illusory flowed on the sword, like a vortex that swallowed everything.
"Dictator's Sword." Yu Cang opened his palm and the sword slowly floated up. "Go."
whoosh!
…
"What?" Wang Chu's eyes widened. "That was the summoning method Yu Cang used to summon those two little bugs just now... How did he do that?"
The entity summoned by the spell card was actually recovered just as it was about to dissipate? ...No, it was sacrificed as a sacrifice!
No matter what it was used for, this method of spell recovery was too challenging for his nerves.
As a spell-based player, he became excited almost immediately.
This summoning method can obviously make up for the shortcomings of the spell flow to a certain extent!
Yu Cang...has he even studied magic?
With this technique, maybe the spell flow can also cooperate with other card decks to talk about "sustainability"!
How could this not excite him!
Wang Chu quickly leaned forward, wanting to see more clearly, but the next scene made him open his eyes wide.
That is...
The sword attacked the Soul Box, but after the attack, it did not dissipate?
Could it be a spell card with a certain number of attacks?
That's not right, it seems that nothing has been consumed in that sword...
Could this actually be an equipment card?
That's even more impossible.
The difference between equipment cards and spell cards is quite big.
The characteristic of the equipment card is that when it is activated, a target must be selected to equip it. Generally speaking, even if it is not written in the equipment card panel, it will bring a certain physical fitness bonus to the wearer.
This is considered passive.
Moreover, most equipment cards need to be held before they can be used.
The Dictator Sword is obviously the most classic spell card. It does not need to be equipped to a target and can move freely in the air according to one's will, exerting various abilities.
But, but...why can your dictatorial sword continue to exist?
The ear spell card has always existed? How could he have such a dream?
Wang Chu opened his eyes wide with an expression of disbelief.
…
“…”
Xing Su remained silent, but with an idea in his mind, he sent the treasure box of the dead souls behind him into the burial tomb.
I'm being attacked too quickly and I can't handle it anymore.
Yu Cang was not joking... A spell card that could launch attacks continuously was a huge threat to his Ghost Box.
Fortunately, he had anticipated this situation!
"Yu Cang, do you think I will allow the flaw of the Dead Soul Box to continue to exist in my deck?" Xing Su smiled confidently.
His deck is essentially designed for continuous combat in the mid-to-late stages, so it will inevitably be weak in the early stages.
In order to cope with the weak early stage, his deck naturally has many measures to use.
"Yu Cang, I also want to thank you." Xing Su took out a soul card, "It is your 'fusion' that allowed me to obtain this soul card!"
Yu Cang: "..."
You have to thank yourself anyway.
Long time no see. Are the people from the Combat Club so polite now?
But, fusion.
Yu Cang's expression became slightly serious.
Professor Guan Qingrui organized a lot of people to study fusion together, and it was normal that Xing Su's instructor was among them.
So, what kind of soul card will you bring...
"I activate the spell card: Death Furnace!" Xing Su's eyes flashed with a sinister green light, "Yu Cang, have you ever been curious about why I still had soul energy after summoning the dead wizard, but stopped moving?
"—My lonely soul buried in purgatory! Scream! Wail! I accept all your hatred for that rotten body!"
Xing Su opened his hands. Behind him, the dead wizard and the buried corpse suddenly turned into a pale green light and rushed into the treasure box of the dead soul. Then, the treasure box of the dead soul shattered... It shattered in the burial tomb!
A blaze of pale green light continuously emerged from the triangular hole of the tomb. For a moment, the light on the field seemed much dimmer in the flames.
"Come, bathe in the hymn of the soul, let steel and scorched earth twist into your bones and flesh, descend, descend into this brand new body! I sacrifice all the living dead, using the Archlich's burial crypt, the Revenant's Treasure Box, and the Soul Shepherd Archlich on cooldown as fusion materials—
"Fusion Summon, Dragon Bone Hall·Lich·Shepherd Soul Construct!"
boom!
Behind him, a half-buried bone tomb rose from the ground. The twisted steel burial mound turned into a hideous head. Green flames burned all the way. Countless steel and scorched earth rose up to form a body. In the chest, the treasure box of the dead soul was buried in it. Green light penetrated the scorched earth and shone out.
"It's really a... big guy." Yu Cang raised his head slightly.
