Chapter 363 Ritual Summoning!
Zhao Yang left after the visit.
When he learned that Yu Cang had only read his paper once and had not studied it in depth, he asked him to think about it first.
Zhao Yang knew that because Yu Cang had taken out the insect identification device for him, Rhythmic Body was teleported to a distant star realm. Now he could not use the Starry Sky Vision to the maximum extent, and his card-making ability was weakened to a certain extent.
So Yu Cang was allowed to decide the time to improve the summoning method.
Yu Cang didn’t actually need it, but seeing that Zhao Yang insisted, he just made an appointment for tomorrow.
night.
Wang Zhi I sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the paper on the terminal.
"It's no wonder no one has truly perfected ritual summoning in the past five years... Zhao Yang's paper proposed a prototype, but it went in the wrong direction."
On the side, Gu Jieshuang looked over and said, "Boss, are you sure about tomorrow?"
"Of course there is." Yu Cang smiled. "In fact, the method of improving the ritual summoning is very simple - but for this soul card, it is a legendary card after all, so it is still difficult to modify it."
"What should we do then?"
“I’ll just make another one.”
Looking at the information on the soul card in the terminal, Yu Cang fell into deep thought.
Next to him was the resonance stone sent by Zhao Yang, which he had already looked at.
…
Soul Card Name: Dragon's True Yang Awakening
Category: Spell Card
Quality: Heirloom
Attribute: Fire
ability:
[Burning Sun]: Targets a dragon or a summoned beast with [Dragonborn] or [Astern], causing the summoned beast to transform into the True Sun Awakening form.
[Nirvana]: When the summoned beast in the True Yang awakening form is about to enter the death cooldown, disconnect the soul card in the death cooldown and refresh the summoned beast's status.
…
This soul card doesn't have many effects, but its ability is quite strong.
The paper also includes some relevant combat data. After [Burning Body of the Sun] is activated, the data of the target summoned beast will skyrocket, and it will also gain extremely high fire resistance and a series of unique abilities related to fire.
However, it seems that this soul card is essentially just a spell to strengthen the summoned beast, and it does not seem to be considered a new summoning method - this is normal, after all, it is just a prototype.
In fact, whether this soul card has the potential to become a new summoning method is still controversial. Therefore, there are not many card makers who study this soul card.
However, Zhao Yang is quite confident in the potential of this soul card. He calls this summoning method "Awakening Summoning". In his conception, the characteristic of this summoning method is that a spell card + a summoning card can be used to summon a summoned beast.
This summoned beast has the same mental pressure as the original summoned beast, but can exert stronger combat power, which allows the soul card master to use more energy in other places.
For example, if Yu Cang uses the Dragon's True Yang Awakening on a tenth-level Dark Flame Dragon Emperor corpse, he will get a tenth-level True Yang Dark Flame Dragon Emperor corpse. The mental pressure of both is at the tenth-level level, but the latter is more powerful.
This undoubtedly saves a lot of resources.
Even in Zhao Yang's idea, multiple such spell cards can be used to perform "multiple awakenings". At that time, a sixth-level summoned beast may be able to compete with a twelfth-level monster after multiple awakenings.
The mental pressure of others who maintain the twelfth level has long been full, but the six-level multiple awakenings basically does not take up much pressure. At this time, the soul card master himself can still continue to operate, and the outcome of the battle can be imagined.
Not to mention, in this soul card, the existence of [Nirvana] can also escort the process of multiple awakenings, making it less easily interrupted.
A strong idea, but unfortunately, it went in the wrong direction.
Although Zhao Yang is still very confident, you have to know that there are many powerful card makers in Yan Country. Five years have passed and no one has realized Zhao Yang's idea. Even most people think that it cannot become a new summoning method. This is enough to explain the problem.
When Yu Cang saw this paper, he knew that the soul card made by Zhao Yang did contain a new summoning method, but it was not an awakening summoning, but a ritual!
To be honest, this soul card is really no different in essence from those spells that are now on the board.
A new summoning method, no matter what, must have its own way of operating resources.
And even after the awakening summoning, the original summoned beast was not sent to death cooldown, but changed its form - this means that the original summoned beast itself did not circulate as a resource.
The material enters the death cooldown, which seems to be a restriction, but in fact, in the right system, this is precisely the foreshadowing of resource operation.
Just like Yu Cang's "Death Fusion".
The error in the direction of the awakening summoning was that Zhao Yang should not focus on the summoned beast itself—but on the star level!
However, the Star Rank System was only recently created, and Zhao Yang had just recovered his memory, so it was normal that he didn't expect it.
Yu Cang originally didn't want to interfere with the birth of the ritual summoning, and wanted Zhao Yang to improve it slowly by himself, but now that he has come to him, Yu Cang has no choice but to speed up the process.
Thinking of this, he took out the formation writing pen and blank soul card, thought for a moment, and put down a stroke.
On the side, Gu Jieshuang saw that Yu Cang had entered the state, so she supported her head with her hands, did not disturb him, and just silently looked at Yu Cang with eyes full of smiles.
…
the next day
Yu Cang put his body in the hospital, and then controlled Wang Zhiwo, Gu Jieshuang and Qi'er to go out together.
Now, my body is almost like a vegetable, and it seems that I can only stay in the hospital.
Following the address left by Zhao Yang, Yu Cang quickly arrived at his laboratory - actually Hu Yanzhan's laboratory.
"Here you are, Xiao Cang." Hu Yanzhan said with a smile, "Zhao Yang, that kid, summoned you without even telling me... However, you young people really should communicate more. That kid's awakening summoning has great potential. It's an obsession. If we discuss it more, we can find the right direction as soon as possible."
"Teacher." Zhao Yang's face was expressionless. "I didn't come here to discuss this with Yu Cang."
He looked at Yu Cang with a complicated look in his eyes.
Yu Cang also understood what he meant.
He wanted to see how big the gap was between him and himself.
No matter how much Yu Cang had done before, no matter how much shock he brought to Zhao Yang, it could not completely extinguish the pride of this genius.
After all, his academic career disappeared for five years, and what Yu Cang had shown before, whether it was the mythological rhythm or the forbidden card dragon slaying, were areas that he had no chance to touch.
Although he felt that even with these five years, it was highly unlikely that he would be able to accomplish those things, but what if? It had never happened before, so who knew?
Only this awakening summoning is what he has truly poured his heart and soul into, and it is the area he is good at!
Zhao Yang looked at the confident smile on Yu Cang's lips, and his emotions were complicated.
Five years of wasted time have finally come to an end, but the first person he met after breaking out of the cage seemed like an insurmountable mountain.
Now, he couldn't explain what he was thinking. It seemed that he wanted Yu Cang to be helpless against the awakening summons, but he also wanted to see him defeat him.
In fact, when he encountered the unexpected change five years ago, it had been a year since he made the Dragon's True Yang Awakening.
During this year, no one could make this soul card go further, including himself - this shouldn't have happened.
Looking back now, he already knew that it was his own pride that bound his thoughts five years ago.
Ever since he created his legendary work at the age of fourteen, he has been living under the attention of the association and has won numerous awards. He was so young at the time, so naturally... he became arrogant.
He still had talent, but he couldn't settle down. A year after the concept of Awakening Summoning was born, it still hadn't progressed at all.
Until later, he was obsessed with identifying insects and suddenly fell from the clouds to the bottom of the valley. He became the typical example of "Zhongyong" in everyone's mouth.
But this still did not break his pride. After all, he was still able to restrain the unknown guy in his mind, the existence that countless country guardians were helpless against!
As long as he handles everything, he will still be the genius he once was!
In fact... Zhao Yang vaguely knew that this mentality seemed wrong, but he didn't know how to change it. After all, he did have the capital to be proud.
And now, he realized one thing - perhaps, only when he was truly defeated by the genius in front of him could he shed the last layer of the cage called pride.
But at the same time, he was extremely afraid of this possibility.
Will I... really be defeated without a doubt in the field I am best at?
He only felt his hands and feet trembling uncontrollably and getting cold. He looked at Yu Cang, eager to see him shake his head regretfully, saying that he could not see through the direction of perfection of this awakening call.
However, Yu Cang simply stretched out his hand and took out two soul cards.
He put one of them into his own hand.
Zhao Yang's pupils shrank, he quickly took it and looked into it, but he was suddenly stunned.
This card is... Holy Breath?
He knew that this soul card seemed to be the soul card of Wen Ren Ge from the Ancient Capital Combat Club.
What does it mean that Yu Cang gave him this soul card... Could it be that he is also powerless against the awakening summon?
Zhao Yang's heart suddenly calmed down, but at the same time he also felt a little lost.
At this time, Yu Cang said: "You should have seen this soul card."
“…Yes, I have.”
"What do you think is the difference between it and your 'Dragon's True Yang Awakening'?"
"Difference? There are too many differences. They are not even the same type of soul cards!" Zhao Yang's tone was quite firm.
"Really?" Yu Cang smiled softly. "Holy Fierce Breath can increase the target summoned beast's panel stats and grant it the ability to manipulate Fierce Breath. Don't you think the effects are very similar?"
"But my soul card permanently changes my state, and it doesn't change my mental stress. There's also the possibility of a second awakening!"
"But the Holy Breath's effect on mental stress is also minimal."
Zhao Yang frowned. "Yu Cang, what do you mean... Are you like those people, thinking that my Soul Card is just a simple buff spell, rather than a prototype of a summoning method... If that's the case, then I misjudged you."
I don't know why, but when Zhao Yang said this, a deep disappointment surged in his heart.
Could it be that even a genius like Yu Cang couldn't understand himself...
If that's the case...after today, my pride might become even stronger.
Zhao Yang suddenly felt a little bored. He was about to turn around and leave, but he saw Yu Cang showing another soul card in his hand.
"Of course not." Yu Cang handed the Soul Card to Zhao Yang. "Take another look at this Soul Card and tell me what the difference is between it and the Holy Fierce Breath."
Zhao Yang was stunned and took it subconsciously. He just glanced at it and his gaze froze quietly.
His expression immediately became serious, and he carefully read the words on the soul card from the beginning.
…
Soul Card Name: Sacred Ascension Ceremony
Category: Spell Card
Quality: Rare
Attribute: Light
ability:
[Holy Ascension]: Send summoned beasts with a total star level of at least eight from the field and deck to death cooldown, and summon "Critical Fierce Angel" from the deck.
[Bestowed Breath]: The summoned beast that descends through this Soul Card gains [Fierce Breath]. If the target already has [Fierce Breath], it is strengthened.
…
Yu Cang: "Can you tell the difference between these two soul cards?"
Zhao Yang fell silent.
Of course he could see it.
If this soul card had not appeared, then he could confidently say that "Divine Fierce Breath" and his own "Dragon's True Yang Awakening" were two completely different soul cards.
But now... haha, the soul card I made has truly become an ordinary buff spell.
He originally thought that even if Yu Cang could see the direction for improvement in his summoning method, he would at most offer some suggestions. However, he didn't expect... Yu Cang would directly come up with a complete version!
Zhao Yang said with some difficulty: "Is there another one..."
"That's right." Yu Cang nodded and took out the third soul card.
…
Soul Card Name: Critical Fierce Angel
Category: Summon Card
Quality: Ritual
Attribute: Light
Race: Humanoid
Star level: Level 8
ability:
[Fierce Breath]: You can control the Fierce Breath to fight. Every time you use the Fierce Breath, you will suffer the same amount of Fierce Breath attack.
[Chanyeol]: Each time attacked by Fierce Breath, its Strength and Speed are temporarily increased. If this summoned beast gains [Fierce Breath], add the following to [Fierce Breath]: When attacked by Fierce Breath, remove one negative effect from it.
[Sublime]: When attacking a target with a higher star rank than your own, [Fierce Breath]'s damage is multiplied by 1.5. If this summoned beast gains [Fierce Breath] a second time, [Fierce Breath] adds: When a spell card of a lower quality than Epic is activated, it consumes Fierce Breath to activate, negating it.
…
When Zhao Yang saw this soul card, a look of understanding appeared in his eyes, and then... he seemed to be relieved all of a sudden, and the uneasiness and complexity in his heart dissipated, and he smiled at himself.
"I see... I was so wrong, hahahaha... It was born in my hands, but I didn't fulfill my responsibility to perfect it. Yu Cang, thank you... You've created a new way of summoning."
Yu Cang shook his head: "You just got the direction wrong. It's still you who created this summoning method."
"Don't comfort me. After seeing this card, I already know how far I am from truly perfecting it." Zhao Yang's face darkened. "This summoning method shouldn't be called awakening... Just like you said, it should be called... a ritual."
The gap is really big.
The clues can be seen from the power of the sacred ascension ceremony.
Send a certain amount of "material" to death cooldown and summon a soul card. Perfect and standardized.
In comparison, his Dragon's True Yang Awakening does not require any "materials" and does not have a physical soul card as a "terminal". In the final analysis, it is just a strengthened soul card.
It was precisely because of this irregularity that he mistakenly believed that the direction of improvement for this summoning method was "awakening," allowing the summoned beasts on the field to gain even greater power while maintaining the same mental pressure... He went further and further on the path of "strengthening", but ignored the real changes that needed to be made to the new summoning method -
That is to change the way the materials are used and the operating logic!
With this Soul Card, Yu Cang could use the same eighth-order mental pressure to gain even greater combat power. Moreover, he could do even more!
"Then..." Zhao Yang's eyes showed expectation, "Can he achieve multiple awakenings... I mean, multiple rituals?"
"Okay." Yu Cang took out the fourth soul card.
…
Soul Card Name: Supreme Ascension
Category: Spell Card
Quality: Rare
Attribute: Light
ability:
[Supreme]: Send Ritual Summoned Beasts with a total star level of at least eight from the field to death cooldown, and summon "Supreme Fierce Angel" from the deck.
[Bestowed Breath]: The summoned beast that descends through this Soul Card gains [Fierce Breath]. If the target already has [Fierce Breath], it is strengthened.
[Holy]: Disconnect the Soul Card in Death Cooldown and activate it, allowing a Ritual Summoned Beast to gain [Fierce Breath] and refresh its status.
…
Double ceremony!
This is the summoning method that Zhao Yang has been trying to reach, but he doesn't know the direction.
The materials needed for the Holy Ascension Ritual are ordinary summoned beasts, while the Supreme Ascension Ritual requires ritual summoned beasts that have already been summoned on the field.
In this system, it naturally refers to the critical Fiery Angel.
After two rituals, the Supreme Fierce Angel can now achieve the combat power of the eleventh level under the mental pressure of the eighth level!
"So...that's how it is." Zhao Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly.
The key point is actually above the star level.
This is a newly born system, so it seems understandable that he didn't know about it five years ago.
But this is not an excuse. After all, he knows clearly that this system was also perfected by Yu Cang!
Suddenly, Zhao Yang's eyes moved slightly and he thought of something.
The "synchronization" created by Yu Cang... seems to also rely on star rank, right?
Therefore, when Yu Cang created Synchro Summoning, he must have encountered the same dilemma as himself. He had the prototype of the summoning method, but he could never find the direction.
But... the difference between them is that in order to perfect the synchronization, Yu Cang directly created the star-level system from scratch, while he... indulged in pride and arrogance, and did not gain anything.
At this moment, Zhao Yang knew that he had completely lost.
"...Thank you, Yu Cang."
"I got it by chance too." Yu Cang's expression remained unchanged.
In fact, although he had an idea, it was still difficult to carry out the ceremony completely in just one day.
Fortunately, he had a recorder.
He still remembered that when he was at Zulong Snow Mountain, he had extracted a term called [ritual].
Thanks to Weihuohu nv for the reward!
