Chapter 286 Mo Ran, the mask for offering sacrifice to ghosts!
Yan He fell to the ground.
The shoulders of the ancient demon's corpse were very high. If Yan He fell directly down, her shield might suddenly become depleted of health... and Yan He's body control ability was not very good now. Yu Cang was worried that she would get hurt if she fell down.
So, he thoughtfully asked the Jieying·Domain Resident to come forward and bring Yan He to the ground.
Yu Cang looked at Yan He and said softly, "So, do you want to continue?"
Yan He raised her head with great effort, her face flushed red from the mental stress. She waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no... I surrender!"
"The duel is over, the winner is Yu Cang!" Qin Yueran said loudly.
Yu Cang nodded, waved his hand, and canceled the summoning of all soul cards.
When testing the World Shadow Resident before, Yu Cang discovered that if he wanted to directly connect the Soul Card to the Soul Energy Well of another Soul Card Master, it would not be possible to do so directly.
Yu Cang later conducted some tests and finally found a way to connect to the soul energy well.
There are probably two ways to connect to someone else's soul energy well. The first method is the simplest, as long as the other party is willing.
As long as the target you connect to can also connect to the summon and master some corresponding skills, you can easily connect them together. Yu Cang only tried it a few times and he has summed up the corresponding skills.
In the past few days, he has used Jieying to take Gu Jieshuang to experience the feeling of [traveling].
This method obviously cannot be used in a duel. At this time, the second method must be used.
That is to use the absolute difference in mental pressure to force the connection!
This type of connection requires the caster, Yu Cang, to have a much higher level of mental stress than the target in order to achieve it.
Moreover, this part of the mental pressure must be provided by the connection summoned beast.
There are a total of five linked summoned beasts on the scene now. Among them, Dragon Hunter and World Shadow·Dweller can be regarded as epic existences. Dictator Sword is a spell card. The proportion of mental pressure is not high, but it is also rare. Together with the two little bugs, the total mental pressure is already not low.
On the other hand, on the opposite side... Although Yan He maintained a lot of summoned beasts, the field card, the corpse of the ancient demon, took on the mental pressure of all other soul cards, causing Yan He's mental pressure to be constant at about half of the upper limit.
This feature was useful in previous battles, but it is no longer the case when facing link locks.
The difference in mental pressure allowed Yu Cang to easily connect to Yan He's soul energy well using the soul connection card without much effort, thereby forcing a lot of mental pressure into it, and even directly squeezed the corpse of the ancient demon offline.
This fighting skill looks very powerful, but it is actually useless. After all, in a battle, when the fight gets intense, everyone's mental stress is full, and there is basically no difference in mental stress.
If you want to use this technique in a battle of the same level, you can only do what Yu Cang did, summoning a large number of connected summoned beasts in a very short period of time, and connecting them directly before the opponent's mental pressure increases.
But generally speaking, if the opponent is not bad, he will not give Yu Cang this opportunity.
The real use of this technique is to bully weak opponents.
For example, if you are level 6 and fighting against level 5, you can directly pull out an epic link1 at the beginning, use high mental pressure to achieve a single card link lock, fill your head, and leave you no room to resist.
But to be honest... when a level 6 fights a level 5, there are so many ways to use.
This link lock is just one of the methods...at most it looks cooler.
One thing that needs to be explained here is that the sequence has only one anchor point, but it connects the hunters and the residents, which is possible.
Xu was summoned to an anchor connection point of the Hunter-Lin people, but Xu's own anchor point did not choose to connect with the Hunter-Lin people, but was outward to allow the residents to descend.
In fact, the Residents could also be placed at the connection end of the Hunters, but since they were placed in the connection section of the Sequence, there must be a reason for it.
Connections can be connected end to end, but they cannot be connected infinitely.
During the test, Yu Cang discovered that the farther the connection to the summoned beast was, the greater the mental pressure would be.
Compared to the two methods of Hunter → Sequence → Resident, Hunter → Resident, the former will put a higher level of mental pressure on the Resident.
There is a sequence in the middle. At the level of Starry Sky Vision, this soul card is "farther" away from Yu Cang's soul energy well, so it requires some extra mental pressure.
Therefore, if you want to achieve a link lock, you naturally need to keep your mental pressure as high as possible, so a straight line connecting it is naturally the best choice.
That's true, but if you mess up and the link lock fails, you'll be the one who suffers.
It's difficult to achieve and may have negative effects, so this combat skill isn't very practical. Using it on Yan He is considered a case of expertise... You can't blame Yan Hecai either, the effect of the Human Soul Card is just like that, no complaints.
Although this technique has many limitations, it is the first time it has been used. Yu Cang knows it well, but others don't.
In their eyes, Yu Cang first performed a series of fancy operations, causing several summoned beasts to jump back and forth, summoning a large number of guys with "rings"... and then with a glare, Yan He directly cancelled the corpse of the ancient demon by himself!
This scene is so shocking...
In the audience, Lu Zihe blinked his eyes, unable to figure out how this was achieved.
It's really confusing.
"Could it be... charm?" Lu Zihe took a breath.
Yes, seeing that little girl Yan He's face flushed red after she landed on the ground, it is very likely that she has a charm-type ability!
You are so good, Yu Cang. You look like a handsome guy on the surface, but you actually use this ability behind the scenes!
"...What are you thinking?" Wen Renge's mouth twitched slightly. "Looking at Yan He's reaction, it's obvious that he's under too much mental pressure, and he directly squeezed out the venue... But, is there actually such a way of playing that can directly squeeze out mental pressure... It really challenges the imagination."
Yu Cang's fighting style is really unexpected every time.
There are many strategies to counter the Ancient Demon Corpse deck, but this is the first time Wen Renge has encountered one. Instead of rushing or attacking directly, they focus on the epic field that is least likely to be solved...
You know, the essence of this place is handed down from generation to generation...
Although increasing mental stress is a trick, even if it is a trick, you have to be able to use it in a tricky way.
Directly increasing mental stress, this ability is too outrageous.
In their perception, this ability usually appears in banned cards. Even if you encounter it in a normal battle, it will not directly squeeze out any of your cards. At most, it will fill your mental pressure and prevent you from using new soul cards. The soul cards originally summoned are generally not affected.
Just today, I encountered it.
Wen Ren Ge looked at Yu Cang, and the smile on his lips couldn't help but fade slightly.
There may be too much contained in Yu Cang's deck.
Clearing the field, opening links, and being the big brother are all possible in the early, late, and extreme late stages. Now even such an incredible way of winning as increasing mental pressure can be achieved.
...Is this true genius?
All kinds of power can be easily controlled without any hidden dangers.
And I...
Wen Renge looked at the palm of his hand.
The pain brought by the rhythmic contradiction has overflowed from the deck and was forcibly attached to his mind.
On this road to becoming stronger, I have to endure pain every moment.
Wen Ren Ge's eyes moved slightly, and a smile appeared on his face again.
It doesn’t matter. You can’t envy other people’s paths. Just be yourself.
…
After the battle with Yan He ended, Yu Cang took a short break and returned to the field after the death cooldown of the soul cards in the deck was over.
Next, his opponent is Mo Ran, who is ranked fourth in the Fighting Club.
A boy wearing a headscarf walked onto the arena and gave Yu Cang a big smile.
"Hello, Yu Cang."
"Hello." Yu Cang nodded, his expression slightly changed.
Next, it was an unfamiliar battle.
I have never fought with Mo Ran, but since he is ranked fourth, I still have to be cautious.
"Honestly, I really don't want to fight you, Yu Cang." Mo Ran shook his head. "Fighting with a monster like you will only bring down my mood... But there's nothing I can do. Later, remember to be gentle."
Qin Yueran looked around and saw that both of them were ready, so he nodded.
bite!
The soul card above the head made a crisp sound, and the silent round began!
"But, even though I say that." Mo Ran still had a smile on his face, his eyes suddenly became serious. "I won't give up until the outcome is decided! Take this! I activate the ability of 'Demon Mask' [Into the Curse]! I will negate the ability of the Demon Mask and summon it directly to the field!"
Buzz!
A soul card phantom was flipped over in front of Mo Ran. On the card, there was a strange mask with a hideous face. The mask's empty eyes and mouth were emitting faint blue flames, which looked evil and terrifying.
As the soul card phantom was turned over, the flames on the mask visibly went out. When there was no abnormality at all, a "click" was heard, and the ghost sacrifice mask fell directly to the ground.
Yu Cang's expression changed slightly.
This is……
He didn't seem to have seen this deck before, but it looked like it was also a deck related to the undead.
As expected of an ancient capital, there are so many Undead decks.
However, when the Ghost Sacrifice Mask was just opened, he clearly saw that this soul card was an epic. If divided by star level, it would be a full seven levels!
But... this Ghost Sacrifice Mask is just a mask. It's a creature, but it doesn't seem to have any combat abilities at all. After all, it's just a mask. Even if [Spiritual Mastery] is activated, you can't expect a mask to charge into battle...
In the quick glance just now, Yu Cang noticed that the ability of this soul card seemed quite complicated. It should rely on ability to fight, but this [Curse] just invalidated its own ability, which was a bit confusing.
Although it looks shocking that the first tube of soul energy can summon an epic, but it is a bit hard to understand why the summoned one is useless...
These thoughts flashed through his mind, but Yu Cang remained calm and simply drew a soul card from the deck.
No matter how he changes, he just needs to start normally.
"I summon the half-dragon headhunter!"
Buzz!
The soul card was turned over, and the familiar figure of the headhunter rushed out from it!
Soul energy began to slowly recover.
At this time, Mo Ran on the opposite side spoke.
"Yu Cang, your soul card is very powerful, but it can't deal with me." He opened his hands, "Although I can't beat you, if you want to win, you should use all your strength as soon as possible!"
Yu Cang's expression changed slightly: "Really?"
"Speaking of which, I want to thank you."
Yu Cang: "..."
appeared.
Thank him before the fight begins.
Well, let him see which of his achievements will benefit him this time.
"Thanks to the star rank you discovered, my deck has now reached a higher ceiling!" Mo Ran smiled gently. "By the way, you don't know my fighting style yet, right... Then let me introduce it to you!"
At this moment, the soul energy is restored and the silent round ends!
Mo Ran waved his hand and threw out seven soul cards!
"A hundred ghosts that shuttle through fear, descend in this gloomy ritual!" Mo Ran clenched his hand, and the seven soul cards turned into streams of light and fell in front of him. "Reverse the upper summons - [Sacrificial Ghost], descend!"
Click!
The mask for ghost worship that fell to the ground suddenly had many cracks on the surface of the mask. But if you look carefully, you will find that the cracks just divide the mask into seven parts!
BANG!!
The mask shattered, and an inexplicable starlight flickered on each piece, merging with the fallen soul card!
The shadow gradually dissipated, and seven rare summoned beasts appeared in front of Yu Cang.
Yu Cang was stunned.
Is this... a reversal summon?
He had heard of this summoning method before. It was considered a variant of the higher-level summoning.
A Higher Summoning uses multiple Summoned Beasts as sacrifices to summon a Summoned Beast of a higher quality. However, a Reverse Higher Summoning... as the name suggests, the higher quality Summoned Beast is sacrificed instead!
Just like what happened before his eyes, Mo Ran used the epic-level Ghost Sacrifice Mask as a sacrifice and directly summoned seven rare-level lower-level creatures...
No, there are people who really use this summoning method.
Sacrifice the big brother in exchange for the smaller subordinates. This summoning method is usually used when the battle is getting tense and the big brother is about to die to preserve combat power.
Who would play like this at the beginning of a duel?
But that’s all I say.
Yu Cang wiped his hand across the card box and pulled out a soul card.
Although this scene looks funny, starting with seven rares, even if they are small fish, is indeed very oppressive.
Mo Ran was right. It was really difficult for the headhunter to deal with this situation.
After all, headhunting is a single-target attack, and these small fish in front of him are all short in stature. Even if they are infected with [Scale Plague], it doesn't look like they can be squeezed out of anything.
Using the [Dragon Hunting Spear] against them will probably not pay off at all.
But, it doesn't matter.
After thinking about it, Yu Cang still did not choose to use other soul cards. He just raised his hand and summoned the second half-dragon headhunter.
First, see what the other party is capable of.
"Oh? Did you still choose to summon the headhunter?" Mo Ran had an inexplicable expression.
Reversing the upper summoning requires a certain amount of soul energy. Mo Ran held the other mask in his hand and silently waited for the soul energy to be fully restored.
[Enter the Curse] requires a whole tube of soul energy to summon the mask.
"Want to test my abilities?... That's not the right choice. But, it's you after all. Never mind. No matter what, you should have a way to deal with me."
Mo Ran looked at Yu Cang with a serious look.
Yu Cang has not yet realized what the fighting style of his deck is.
Other card decks use epic big brothers as the terminal, but he is different. His main combat power comes from the cooperation between these rare "sacrificial ghosts".
In a way, it's very similar to the joint hunting of half-dragons.
But their abilities are even more bizarre.
Firstly, these sacrificial ghosts...cannot be summoned normally! Even if you have enough soul energy, it won't work!
The only way to reverse the summoning is to use the Ghost Mask as a sacrifice!
Moreover, the sacrificial ghosts summoned in this way cannot be used as any form of sacrifice, which blocks the possibility of using them as materials.
The reason why Mo Ran thanked Yu Cang at the beginning was because the emergence of the Star Rank did bring new possibilities to this deck.
In the past, a reverse upper summon could only summon four sacrificial ghosts at most, and their strength was average.
But now, after he used the star rank as a medium to launch the reverse upper summoning... the number of sacrificial ghosts he could summon turned out to be an astonishing seven!
The same star level as the Oni Mask!
Mo Ran licked his lips, feeling the mask in the cooling state of death in the card box.
The reason these rare-level minions can fight against the big brothers in other decks... is because of the Mask that has been eliminated!
Yu Cang, although you are stronger than me.
But, if you're not careful when facing me for the first time, you'll really lose...
