Chapter 312: Thousands of soldiers offer sacrifices to Ning!
the next day
St. Francis University Arena
"Hurry up, President!"
Zhan Changyu hurried forward, looking back every few steps, looking at the slow-moving Zhong Ning, and every muscle on his face seemed to be urging her to walk faster.
"Hurry up, it's almost time for the appointment and we're going to be late!"
"What's the rush?" Zhong Ning's hair was messy, and it looked like he had just gotten up and had no time to tidy it up.
At this moment, she was yawning and walking slowly along the deserted street, like a retired cadre taking a stroll.
Anyway, there are not many people in the school now, and she probably knows everyone walking on the street, so she doesn't care so much about her image... In fact, even if this didn't happen, she doesn't pay so much attention to her daily clothes, and she mainly likes to be casual.
As for Yu Cang... The first time she met Yu Cang, it was because she wanted to give her grandfather face, so she always dressed quietly and ladylike when meeting strangers. But now, in her eyes, anyone she met once was already considered an acquaintance.
It was this acquaintance who actually dared to ask her out so early in the morning. How abominable.
The duel is over, why not let her go back for winter vacation!
Looking at the hurried Zhan Changyu, Zhong Ning yawned and sighed, "Don't worry, I calculated the time. We will definitely get to the arena on time, not a second late."
"But this is the first time that Yu Cang has taken the initiative to ask us to meet. No matter what, we should arrive earlier, right?" Zhan Changyu was still very anxious.
“…Tsk.” Zhong Ning curled his lips, “Yu Cang…you weren’t this attentive when you were pursuing me.”
Zhan Changyu: "..."
…
Zhong Ning took a step forward. Although Zhan Changyu was very anxious, he saw that Zhong Ning's will was hard to shake, so he could only sigh, stand back beside her, and take a walk with her.
Last night, Yu Cang suddenly sent them a message, saying that he wanted to meet the next day.
That’s nothing, but the meeting time is weirdly eight o’clock in the morning.
For Zhong Ning, or to be more precise, for Zhong Ning who was on vacation, this time was just "midnight", so she was naturally very reluctant.
However, Zhan Changyu had already agreed to it, so she had no choice.
Humph, you want to use this trick to adjust my work and rest schedule?
Useless!
I will get up early only on this day, and on the next day, I will let you see what it means that I will not sleep until the moon does.
However, what exactly did Yu Cang want to do?
Is there anything you need to do yourself?
She has a clear understanding of herself and is also well aware of Cang's influence. If he needs any help, he can just go to his grandfather directly.
He couldn't be here to play with her.
If that was the case, she would rather sleep in bed a little longer.
Thinking of this, Zhong Ning and Zhan Changyu stepped into the arena together. At this time, it was exactly eight o'clock in Yan State time.
Being late was not her habit, but being early was even less so.
Looking up, Yu Cang and Gu Jieshuang were already waiting inside the venue. Before entering, Zhong Ning glanced at the venue usage records and realized that these two people had probably been here since six o'clock.
It’s really... too curly.
Now, Zhong Ning gets a headache whenever he thinks about starting this thing at six o'clock. He can't understand how anyone can persist in doing it.
brush!
A bright sword light flashed across the sky, Gu Jieshuang danced gracefully in the air, bursts of fine snow drifted in the air, reflecting the light, like a dream.
Seeing the person coming, Gu Jieshuang immediately put away his sword, took advantage of the momentum in the air, and landed on the ground with Pofeng·Xingyi.
Gu Jieshuang now has a sword in his hand, and another sword is floating beside him. He has "Hantian" in his hand and "Xingyi" at his side.
This set of aerial combat tactics required precise coordination between her and her aunt, and now, she has become more and more proficient in it.
Zhong Ning was silent for a moment.
“…He’s quite handsome.”
Her Dark Red Sky Demon can also fly, but she thought about it and realized that transforming into a big demon is indeed not as cool and handsome as flying with a sword.
Moreover, it seems that the speed at which this flying sword is formed is much faster than his own.
well.
Thinking of this, Zhong Ning couldn't help but touch his head.
My deck is strong, but its weaknesses are also obvious, and it is not difficult to target them.
Against those Soul Card Masters whose lower-level systems were more vulnerable, she would undoubtedly have a great advantage, but now...
Ever since Yu Cang discovered Synchro and Star Rank, the pace of Soul Card Master duels has been accelerating. Zhong Ning heard that a powerful person had emerged from Youyou University. He could use Synchro to tell stories during the duration of the silent round, and immediately pull out two epics as soon as the silent round ended!
How can we fight this!
The advantages of her advance sacrifice were completely wiped out!
Even if he plunders the sacrifice, he can only start after the silent round ends, but you have completed it directly during the silent round, so how can she play?
Not fun at all!
There is still half a year before the High-Efficiency League, and she dare not imagine what kind of monsters will appear by then.
But she didn't really want to change the deck - she originally chose this deck mainly to go against her family, but after actually using it, she found that this deck was very suitable for her personality and was quite strong, so she fell in love with it.
She has been using it for a long time now, and there is a certain rhythm in the soul energy well. It is not a wise choice to change it rashly.
However, the increasingly insufficient strength made her feel that she was abandoned by the version... That was why she told Zhong Sheng that she didn't want to play anymore and was giving up.
Zhong Ning was a classic example of a Synchro victim. He'd been so heavily invested in his Higher Summons that he couldn't properly utilize Synchro for a while. While Star Rank did improve Higher Summons, the boost wasn't as significant as Synchro's...
Of course, although this matter was caused by Yu Cang, she didn't have any thoughts about Cang in her heart. Instead, she admired him a little. After all, this was a visible progress of the times - it was her bad luck.
Looking at the front, Gu Jieshuang's sword intent synchronization system is very strong. After the silent round ends, he can directly get the epic equipment card, and it is a tenth-level one!
Although Gu Jieshuang is only a sophomore, Zhong Ning is sure that if she is put in this year's college league, few people can beat her!
It's obvious that she put a lot of effort into her deck.
Thinking of this, she turned her head and looked at Zhan Changyu.
Well... after this guy entered the room, his eyes fell directly on Yu Cang, without even glancing at the fairy-like Gu Jieshuang in the sky.
Although it is reassuring, it is also speechless.
"You are here." Yu Cang's voice came from the side.
At this moment, he was holding Qi'er in his hand, and Ye Lai rested on his shoulder. He was dressed casually, but had an inexplicable temperament... Perhaps this kind of person is what the term "a child of destiny" refers to.
Zhong Ning clicked his tongue.
"Long time no see." Zhong Ning yawned again, "What's up, Yu Cang?"
"Of course, there are some experiments today and I would like to ask for your cooperation." Yu Cang said with a smile.
"Experiment?" Zhong Ning scratched his head. "It sounds very troublesome... But Zhan Changyu should like it. Why don't you ask him out... Uh, does it have to be two people? It would be fine if Zhan Changyu was alone. I'll go get some sleep in the audience first."
Now that I'm here, I definitely can't just run away, but it should be okay to go take a nap while they're busy...
She really lacks sleep.
"Yes, Yu Cang, I will definitely cooperate!" Zhan Changyu took out a small notebook without knowing when, "And - during the experiment, if I have any questions, can I ask you?"
"Don't worry, it won't take too long." Yu Cang said, "Besides, it will be good for you too... You can think of it as a gift from me to you, but before the gift is delivered, there are some necessary procedures."
"A gift?" Zhong Ning frowned. "Forget it then... If I accept a gift, I have to give it in return. It's such a hassle."
"There's no need to return this gift, because... this is my compensation to you," Yu Cang said sincerely. "I only found out the day before I came to the Holy City that this spot was originally yours. I heard that the reward for clearing the level in Feng Yuecangjian is a soul card that's most suitable for you, so I thought I'd give you a similar one as an exchange."
"Ah?" Zhong Ning was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
This is... too arrogant.
Fengyue Cangjian is a mythical secret realm. Do you actually think that the soul card you made can compare with Fengyue Cangjian...
Such a thought flashed through his mind, but when Zhong Ning saw Yu Cang's sincere expression, he remained silent for a moment.
Well...if it was Yu Cang, perhaps this arrogance was well-founded.
But she still shook her head: "Forget it, Yu Cang, the school has already given us compensation for the quota, so there is no need for you to bear the responsibility anymore."
"How can they be the same?" Yu Cang said, "The resources the school gave me are compensation, and my soul card is a favor to you. One thing is the same."
Zhong Ning was silent for a moment.
"Okay, I'll cooperate."
The soul cards given by Yu Cang seem to be very good... Just look at Gu Jieshuang's deck and you will know the quality of the soul cards that come out of Yu Cang's hands.
However, after all, the soul cards were made in a hurry, so even Yu Cang should not be that strong. Moreover, his own card deck is relatively obscure, and he may not know much about it.
Thinking of this, Zhong Ning simply said, "Then how should I cooperate?"
"Don't worry, relax." Yu Cang took out a gray soul card. "Fortunately, you haven't been in the Starry Sky Vision for long, otherwise it would be troublesome..."
Zhong Ning was stunned for a moment, and the next second, Yu Cang had already stuffed the gray soul card into her hand.
"This is?"
"As you can see, this is just a soul card." Yu Cang said softly, "Wait a moment, relax your mind, don't think about anything, use your intuition to feel."
"ah?"
Before Zhong Ning could figure out what this meant, nor did he have time to take a good look at the soul card in his hand, he suddenly felt a suction coming from Yu Cang's body.
She naturally knew that Yu Cang was trying to pull her to the Starry Sky Vision.
This process was not compulsory. If she had wanted to refuse, even Yu Cang would not have been able to force her into the Starry Sky Vision Area. However, thinking of what he had just said, Zhong Ning suppressed the doubts in her heart and chose to relax.
Buzz!
Starlight raced before her eyes, and in the blink of an eye, Zhong Ning was already in the starry sky. However, before she could take in the surrounding scenery, Yu Cang in front of her spoke:
"Relax!"
Buzz!
The sound coming out of his mouth had turned into a mysterious rhythmic sound, resonating back and forth under the starry sky!
Yu Cang is a complete rhythmic body, and his every move can stimulate rhythmic sounds. At this moment, under Yu Cang's deliberate activation, the rhythmic sounds stimulated are even more terrifying!
A novice like Zhong Ning, who had to rely on others to enter and exit the Starry Sky Vision Area, was unable to resist this voice at all. His mind was wavering and he felt his vision trembling. The starlight began to blur, and his heart subconsciously became nervous!
What is this for?
What do you mean by relax? How can she relax when you stimulate her like that?
Before she could complain, Yu Cang spoke again.
"Relax! Follow your instincts!"
Buzz!
This sound was like the sound of a huge bell at close range. Zhong Ning felt his heart was shaken to the point of trembling. Even if he wanted to concentrate, he found it difficult to do so.
In a daze, she seemed to see a ray of light...
…
What Yu Cang wanted to give Zhong Ning was naturally the shape of the destiny star.
Zhong Ning and Zhan Changyu are both suitable candidates.
Both of them have the talent of starry sky vision, and their current studies are not too in-depth. They can only enter the field and must rely on the help of others to succeed.
It is time to accept greater stimulation from the starry sky vision.
As for what Yu Cang is doing now, they are just some little tricks he thought of.
The continuous rhythmic sound is used to wash people, so that they can intuitively perceive the name of their own destiny star while their minds are swaying.
According to calculations, there should be no problem. Now is the first test.
Seeing this sight in front of him, Yu Cang's mouth slowly curled up into a smile.
It seems that the effect is significant.
…
Present world.
Being constantly washed by the rhythmic sound was not a pleasant feeling. At this moment, Zhong Ning's brows were tightly furrowed and his expression looked quite painful.
"This..." Zhan Changyu couldn't help but reveal a worried look on his face. "Zhong Ning... is she really okay? How about letting me try first?"
"Don't worry." Gu Jieshuang's expression remained normal, with a faint smile on her lips. "The process is very safe and quick... You don't have to worry."
"Really?" Zhan Changyu took a deep breath. The joints of his fingers holding the pen had turned white from the force.
suddenly.
He saw Yu Cang open his eyes, and the starlight in his eyes quickly dimmed, and in front of him, Zhong Ning also suddenly came to his senses, took a few steps back, and was about to fall to the ground.
Gu Jieshuang stepped forward to support him, but Zhan Changyu had already taken the lead and supported Zhong Ning.
Seeing this, Gu Jieshuang blinked, a hint of curiosity flashed across her eyes, and then she stepped aside with her arms folded.
"How are you?" Zhan Changyu asked quickly.
"It's okay, it's okay, hiss..." Zhong Ning touched his head, "Damn, that's really strong..."
"What?"
"Lucky." Yu Cang exhaled, "I actually succeeded in one try... Zhong Ning, look at the card in your hand."
"ah?"
Zhong Ning was stunned for a moment, and when she lowered her head again, she found that the gray soul card in her hand had automatically appeared with words.
…
Soul Card Name: Life Star, Broken Army, Shape
Quality: None
Attributes: None
ability:
[Life Star Shape]: Available to those whose Life Star is "Po Jun". After activation, summons a summoned beast from instinct.
…
"This..." Zhong Ning's eyes widened, and then, without waiting for Cang to speak, she stood up, raised her hand and threw it, and the soul card shattered instantly.
Crash...
A huge broadsword suddenly appeared in Zhong Ning's hand!
The shape of Zhong Ning’s life star is the same as Gu Jieshuang’s, both are equipment cards!
Seeing this, Yu Cang took out another blank soul card, and the spirit energy surged at his fingertips. In a moment, a new soul card appeared.
…
Soul Card Name: Thousand Troops Sacrifice Ning
Quality: None
Attributes: None
ability:
[Life Transmission]: This soul card does not take up mental pressure. It consumes a full tube of soul energy when summoned and must be controlled by instinct.
[Ji Ning]: When this Soul Card is sacrificed, removes negative status from "Zhong Ning" and explosively improves all of "Zhong Ning"'s stats. The target summoned with this Soul Card as a sacrifice gains [Ji Ning].
…
"This." Yu Cang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
It is also a very powerful soul card!
It seems that Qianjun Ji Ning and Gu Jieshuang's eyebrow-relieving abilities are somewhat similar, but their usage is very different.
This greatsword can only be released from control when used as a sacrifice, but each time it is released from control, it will gain a short-term buff effect, explosively increasing combat effectiveness, and the ability of [Jining] can even be inherited and used repeatedly!
Moreover, this ability to remove negative effects...
Yu Cang raised his head and said to Zhong Ning, "Try using it to summon the Red Sky Demon."
Zhong Ning nodded: "Okay!"
He raised his hand and took out a soul card.
Plunder the majesty of natural disasters!
The soul card shattered, and a scarlet sun formed in the sky and fell into the Thousand Soldiers' Sacrifice.
This soul card is the key to pre-sacrifice and higher summons.
“Drink!”
Zhong Ning raised the broadsword in his hand and shouted loudly. Suddenly, dense cracks appeared on the sword. Then there was a crisp sound of "bang". The broadsword shattered directly, and the Red Sky Demon in it showed up!
Seeing this, Zhong Ning was a little surprised: "It really works?"
Not every equipment card can withstand the energy of the Scourge of the Plundering Sacrifice... The Demon Plunderer is the core equipment of the Plundering Sacrifice deck, so it can withstand it easily, but the Thousand Armies Sacrifice Ning can actually withstand it without any hindrance, which is surprising.
Before Zhong Ning could feel the power of the sword, even stronger surprise appeared in her eyes.
Wait... the upper limit of my soul energy is not zero?
After the advance sacrifice, the soul energy limit will return to zero, but... is it [Ji Ning] that takes effect?
Seeing her reaction, Yu Cang understood.
"It seems that the negative states that [Ji Ning] can clear also include the side effects of the pre-sacrifice." Yu Cang thought for a moment, "Then... can [Ji Ning] be triggered again now?"
Zhong Ning suppressed his shock and felt it for a moment.
"No... This ability has a cooldown. After inheriting the new soul card, the cooldown will not be refreshed... But the time is not long, and it will be available again soon."
Although there was a cooling down, at this moment, Zhong Ning was already hit by a huge surprise.
This card is too strong!
It directly offsets the side effects of the advance sacrifice, which is like a god to her!
Although, before replenishing the sacrifices, she still couldn't make the next advance sacrifice, but at this time her soul energy could be restored normally, which meant... she no longer had to ask others for help, and could use her own soul cards to replenish the sacrifices, and she also had many spell cards to help her fight!
The enemy can no longer restrict her by not summoning epics, and she becomes stronger all of a sudden!
Moreover, when the cooldown of [Ji Ning] ends, her next advance sacrifice will still have no side effects!
In comparison, the huge attribute increase obtained at this moment due to the Thousand Army Ji Ning has become less noticeable.
With this soul card, her battle would become: pre-sacrifice at the start, then replenish the sacrifices during the battle, and then wait until the cooldown of [Ji Ning] is over before directly performing a second sacrifice to enter the next stage...
This significantly improves her combat effectiveness.
"Very good, beyond expectations." Yu Cang recorded some information in the notebook in his hand.
His original idea was to use "Soul Source Self" to help Zhong Ning make up for the shortcomings of the deck.
The side effect of advance sacrifice is that the upper limit is reset to zero, and the soul source self can just store the soul energy that exceeds the upper limit and use it at any time. It can be said to be a perfect fit.
However, this requires Zhong Ning to use two soul cards to perform dark synchronization first, which actually loses a lot of rhythm... Now that he has Qianjun Ji Ning, things are much simpler.
Nothing much to say, let’s start fighting!
