Chapter 302: The Altar Full of Question Marks
The background of the card of Demon Sword: Cold Silence is the same white as the Synchro, but there are traces of black lines running through it, and soul energy flows through it from time to time, making it look like constantly pulsating blood vessels.
It's not a good soul card at first glance.
To explain it in a more childish way, after this soul card is activated, its powerful force will directly infect other soul cards in the same deck, turning them into tools for providing cold air.
"Wait, wait!" A voice suddenly entered Gu Jieshuang's heart, "Jieshuang, what did you do? What did you summon?"
This is exactly my aunt's voice.
At this moment, she felt that she had no way to get out of the soul card.
The soul card "Ancient Frost Will" is quite special. It needs to be activated before I can move from the deck to other soul cards.
Therefore, after the Demon Sword Han Ji activated [Demon Possession], my aunt was directly trapped in Gu Jieshuang's blood.
She was sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt a familiar but not quite right force erupting from outside. She was worried that Gu Jieshuang might have gone astray in her practice, so she wanted to come out and take a look.
But he met with Waterloo when trying to operate a weapon.
"Ah, auntie, it's okay." Gu Jieshuang quickly explained, "The boss is experimenting with a new soul card for me... We're fine."
"Really?" The aunt's voice was full of suspicion. "Why do I feel like you've gone crazy..."
“Uh…” Gu Jieshuang scratched his head. “It’s true that he’s possessed… But it’s okay. Everything is under the boss’s control.”
"...Okay." The aunt returned to the depths of her blood with doubt.
There seemed to be nothing she could do except go home.
She felt it carefully just now, and it seemed that Gu Jieshuang really had no intention of losing control... Could it be that in this era, even obsession can be controlled artificially?
She didn't understand, but she was shocked.
However, after all, my aunt has lived in modern times for a while... and she has lived with Yu Cang for a while. She has seen a lot of things that have broken her three views, so she has a lot of immunity to them.
Well... since it was Yu Cang who did it, it should be considered normal.
Never mind, go to sleep.
"What's wrong?" Yu Cang was a little confused.
When the aunt did not enter other soul cards, only Gu Jieshuang could hear what she said, so from Yu Cang's perspective, Gu Jieshuang's expression just changed suddenly, which was a bit puzzling.
"It's okay, boss. It's my aunt who's worried about me." Gu Jieshuang said obediently, "I've explained it clearly."
"...That's good." Yu Cang glanced at the data on the computer, thought for a moment, and said, "Jie Shuang, can you sense any other summon types?"
Judging from the magic sword summoned by Gu Jieshuang, what the princess said was basically true, and Yu Cang's guess was not wrong either.
Dark Attunement is a way to seek strength deep within.
Before the star level is reduced to zero, what is summoned are the embodiment of skills, talents, etc.; when it is reduced to zero, what is summoned is the "soul self" that represents the source of one's own soul power.
And when the star level becomes negative, what is summoned out is the malice and desires hidden deep in the heart.
This is the process of digging deep into the soul, starting from the shallowest to the deepest. Skills exist on the outer layer of the soul, while desires are buried deep in the soul. This is very reasonable.
The "Magic Sword·Cold Silence" in front of him represents... Gu Jieshuang's desire to freeze everything.
Yu Cang didn't know why she had such a desire, but judging from Gu Jieshuang's experience, it seemed easy to understand.
He didn't want to ask more questions. After all, judging from Gu Jieshuang's current condition, she had undoubtedly controlled these desires and was not dominated by them.
That's enough.
Gu Jieshuang thought for a moment and said, "It seems possible. I'll try using Breaking the Seal: Star Shift as the synchronization material..."
"...No need." Yu Cang suddenly interrupted Gu Jieshuang, "It seems that this summoning method is still somewhat dangerous. Until I find a safer summoning method, let's do it this way for now."
To engage in more dark attunement means to seek out more evil deep within one's heart.
Obviously, it's very easy to get lost in this process.
Just now, Yu Cang was already extremely worried when he saw Gu Jieshuang summoning the magic sword Han Ji.
Yu Cang was very worried about any accidents that might happen if he made another summon. If it had any impact on Gu Jieshuang's personality, that would be bad.
"Okay." Gu Jieshuang did not insist and agreed obediently.
She waved her hand, and the ice on her right arm shattered instantly. The magic sword Hanji in her hand was directly unsummoned, and the tactile sensation of her right arm gradually became clearer.
Yu Cang walked forward and gently placed his palm on Gu Jieshuang's arm.
"Hiss...it's so cold." Yu Cang quickly took off his coat and put it on Gu Jieshuang. "How is it? Are you warmer?"
Looking at Yu Cang's actions, Gu Jieshuang couldn't help but smile slightly.
Boss, boss, you don’t know that I’m not afraid of the cold at all...
Well... I'd better not remind him.
To prevent him from knowing that I had deliberately tricked him into coming here to give me a coat at Zulong Snow Mountain.
Humph.
"Come to think of it." Gu Jieshuang moved closer to Yu Cang, "This summoning method...are you planning to promote it as well?"
"...I will first reveal the method of synchronizing to the first level." Yu Cang shook his head. "As for the shape of the life star...wait for a while. I still need to perfect it and find a safer technique."
Although all the dark synchronizations have been successful so far without any accidents, this is most likely because the two experimental samples chosen by Yu Cang are both geniuses.
Ordinary people don’t have the talents like Wen Ren Ge and Gu Jie Shuang.
Now it seems that there is no rush to promote the Gray Soul Card.
Without the shape of a life star, ordinary people can only reduce the dark synchronization to the first level at best. This process can now be confirmed to be safe.
Although the safest way is to keep nothing public and study it himself first, but... don't forget that the technique of dark synchronization was calculated by Aqiu, which means that at least for this first step, the threshold is not very high, and it is entirely possible for others to discover dark synchronization.
Instead of letting others research it on their own, he might as well teach them the safe method.
"Yeah." Gu Jieshuang nodded slightly.
The air became quiet for a moment.
Suddenly, she raised her head and said, "By the way, Boss... you should have your own destiny star form, right? Have you ever tried your own dark synchronization?"
Gu Jieshuang looked at Yu Cang with anticipation.
But she knew that Yu Cang's destiny star was most likely the extremely mysterious imperial star that only appeared once in that era.
Since my own Jie Emei is already so powerful, then the boss’s life star shape... must be even more powerful, right?
However, what Gu Jieshuang did not expect was that Yu Cang shook his head.
"...No." Yu Cang said, "Before you came, I had tried countless times, but it didn't work."
The Emperor Star is extremely mysterious, but fortunately the princess has a deep understanding of the Emperor Star and her astrological knowledge related to it is extremely detailed.
After all, the princess came here for the Imperial Star, so it's normal for her to know something about it.
Even so, Yu Cang still couldn't find any sign that could summon the shape of the destiny star.
Maybe... Emperor Xing is really dead.
However, Yu Cang felt that there should still be a possibility of successful summoning.
But compared to others, he still needs an "opportunity".
He was also looking forward to finding out what the shape of his destiny star would be.
"Let's not talk about this for now." Yu Cang looked at Gu Jieshuang, "Is your final exam almost over?"
"Yeah, it's almost done." She nodded repeatedly, "In a few days, all the subjects will be finished."
"Then get ready. After the final exams, we'll go to the Holy City." Yu Cang smiled. "Okay, let's go have a midnight snack now..."
Unexpectedly, Gu Jieshuang's cheeks puffed up and he said angrily:
"Still eating a midnight snack? Don't you see what time it is? Seriously, the boss doesn't care about anything else once he gets to work. It's time to go to bed."
"Ah...?" Yu Cang blinked, feeling a little guilty. "Well... it's not too late..."
"Yes, it's not too late. It's already the next day." Gu Jieshuang pushed Yu Cang out, "Alright, alright... Don't you see Qi'er hiding in the little room and falling asleep? Boss, hurry back. We'll talk about supper tomorrow!"
"good……"
"etc."
When they reached the door, Gu Jieshuang suddenly grabbed Yu Cang, and before he could react, she suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed him.
Gu Jieshuang took a few steps back and coughed lightly.
"Well, well... how can helping the boss with experiments be considered a return gift... Well, it's only for this long, so don't think I'm stingy."
After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.
Behind him, Yu Cang was stunned.
Before he could react, he felt a soft little hand placed on his palm.
Looking down, I saw Qi'er rubbing his eyes, looking sleepy.
"Hoo hoo...Brother, why did I leave?" The girl struggled against sleepiness, "Brother, let's go back to sleep..."
Yu Cang couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, brother will carry you back."
…
the next day
Yu Cang sat bored in the laboratory, playing with a blank soul card and a formation writing pen in his hands.
In a few days, I will set off for the Holy City... I don’t have anything to do right now, so I might as well use the time to open some blind boxes.
Yu Cang pushed his chair to the computer beside him and opened a document.
What is displayed is Wang Chu’s “pure spell” deck.
All kinds of spell cards that barely have a system are crammed in, making it look particularly bloated.
Yu Cang clicked on the introduction of "Devil's Altar". After seeing the introduction of its abilities, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
…
Soul Card Name: Devil's Altar
Category: Venue Card
Quality: Rare
Attribute: Dark
ability:
[Torment of Pain]: The altar will cause damage to the target standing on it and provide soul energy according to the damage.
【Deprivation of Disaster】: The altar will ??? to the target standing on it, and provide ???
【Disaster Dispersion】: The altar will???, and???
【？ ？ ？】：？ ？ ？
…
Yu Cang:?
So many question marks?
The appearance of a question mark in the description of the Soul Card is not a big deal. There are many reasons that can lead to this situation.
Like the death-suppressing dragon skeleton left to Yu Cang by his parents, and like the destiny star and the passage to the other world that had not been unsealed at the beginning.
But like this demon's altar, a soul card with four abilities, three of which have question marks, and the last one is even full of question marks... He has never seen it before.
Generally speaking, the most likely cause of this situation is that the author of this soul card set an overly powerful resonance lock for this card, causing some abilities to be directly unusable.
But... as a member of the Ancient Capital University Combat Club, Wang Chu usually comes into contact with too many high-level soul card masters. Moreover, because he has to participate in the college league, Wang Chu's card deck must also be reviewed.
In this case, if the resonance lock of this soul card could be cracked, it would have been cracked long ago. How could it have been delayed until now?
After thinking about it, Yu Cang directly opened his personal terminal and asked Wang Chu questions.
Not long after, news came back from the other side.
-
Ah, you're talking about this... Actually, many teachers have helped me look at this soul card, but none of them could find any trace of the soul energy lock.
-
As for the Association, they're actually unsure about this Soul Card. The current stance is that it's allowed to compete, but Teacher Qin says it might be banned by the time the league starts.
-
So actually, the soul cards I want to use for the college league do not include this soul card.
Looking at Wang Chu's message, Yu Cang understood.
So that's how it is.
Indeed, Wang Chu's strength is destined to prevent him from participating in one-on-one battles, and he can only participate in team battles.
The use of spells in team battles is very important... Through the preparation of different spells, two or three ultimate spells are finally prepared, which are very powerful and comparable to the corpse of the ancient demon.
As long as his teammates buy time for Wang Chu, he can easily control the outcome of the battle.
In Wang Chu's deck, Wang Chu also saw soul cards prepared for team battles... These soul cards do not require the use of the Demon's Altar.
After thinking for a while, Yu Cang typed:-
Where did you get this soul card?
-
I bought these soul cards from a small stall as junk for a thousand yuan a pack.
-
If it's convenient, could you lend me this soul card to study for a few days?
-
Of course, when? -
Well... let's wait until next year. I'll contact you after I come back from the Holy City.
-
good!
Yu Cang had a hunch that there might be some secrets hidden on this soul card.
[Torture of Pain] is already very powerful, and judging from the name, the next three abilities should be even stronger.
A rare soul card with four abilities of this level...not very common.
Yu Cang didn’t think that he could crack the soul card that so many card makers couldn’t crack, but he still had the entry recorder, didn’t he?
