Chapter 366 Luxurious lineup, nine guardians of the country!
"Pendulum? What is a pendulum?" Wen Ren Ge was a little confused.
"...It's okay." Yu Cang shook his head.
Seeing Yu Cang's strange expression, Wen Renge's heart moved, as if he realized something: "Wait... this pendulum you mentioned, is it not another new way of summoning?"
Yu Cang: "..."
"It seems so." Wen Renge sighed. "So... I accidentally came up with a summoning method that you're still thinking about?"
Yu Cangxu looked at him and asked, "Who told you that?"
Wen Renge pointed to his head: "Intuition."
Yu Cang was silent: "...You reconciled with your intuition quite quickly."
"Don't worry about that." Wen Renge said, "Just tell me if it's true or not."
"No...but almost."
The "Soul Card Village" summoned by Wen Renge doesn't seem to be anything special at the moment, but Yu Cang has already seen the shadow of the pendulum in it.
"It's actually true?" Wen Renge had a strange expression. "This intuition is quite useful... But Yu Cang, don't be sad. I summoned this... 'Pendulum' under your guidance, so it's essentially your work!"
In his opinion, Yu Cang had even put a lot of effort into this summoning method, as he had even chosen a name for it.
"I'm not sad."
"But my intuition tells me..."
"Okay, okay, okay." Yu Cang stopped him quickly.
He found that Wen Ren Ge now had difficulty distinguishing between "intuition" and "metaphysics".
People really shouldn't cut off their intuition, but they also can't just believe everything their intuition says!
He only knew about the pendulum summoning thing, but he hadn't actually started researching it yet. So if someone else got there first, he wouldn't be sad.
But it seemed that Wen Ren Ge's expression was quite firm, and it was obvious that he had already decided on the answer in his heart.
"Okay, let's put your intuition aside for now," Yu Cang said. "First, tell me how you summoned this 'Li'?"
Wen Renge also nodded, and after thinking carefully for a moment, he said:
"Maybe it's because I've been splitting myself apart since I was a child. Compared to others, my perception of the 'outside' and the 'inside' is more obvious. Especially just now, under the influence of your fusion will, this perception has reached its peak, so I can see the 'inside' hidden under the soul card."
"Is that so?" Yu Cang fell into thought.
"But..." Wen Renge frowned. "From my perspective, the Seraphim in this state isn't very powerful at all. It's far inferior to simply summoning its true form. Can this really be considered a new summoning method?"
I used this new summoning method, but it actually made me weaker. Is there any point in using it?
"Of course, the pendulum isn't that simple. This is just the first step." Yu Cang thought for a moment, "So, now, what abilities does this Soul Card have?"
Wen Renge cast his gaze towards the Fierce Angel that was quietly floating beside him: "As for the ability... when it's next to me, choose a target on the field that doesn't have [Fierce Breath], and grant it [Fierce Breath]."
As long as Seraphim is by your side, this [Fierce Breath] will always be there. It seems good, but in the Seraphim main deck, [Fierce Breath] often needs to be stacked two or three times to have a stronger effect, and Seraphim's ability can only be used on targets without [Fierce Breath].
As long as the target's [Fierce Breath] level exceeds one, the [Fierce Breath] given by the Fierce Angel will disappear instantly.
In his main deck, this soul card can only be used for transition in the early stage. It is a Holy Breath with no duration limit, which can be used... but it is useless in the later stage.
"But..." Wen Renge rubbed his chin, "Come to think of it, I don't even need to expend any mental stress to maintain his existence. Instead, the upper limit of my soul energy well has been lowered a bit... Wait, isn't this... the permanent spell card you gave Wang Chu?"
Wen Renge opened his eyes wide.
It turns out that the inner side of the Soul Card is something similar to a Continuous Spell Card?
"I see." Wen Renge suddenly realized, "So when you created the continuous spell card, you were actually paving the way for this pendulum, right?"
It’s right, everything is right!
Yu Cang didn't respond and let him imagine it.
"Perceive it again. Can you find any other abilities?"
The most important thing about a pendulum is the pendulum scale. Only with this can you truly begin pendulum summoning.
Wen Renge felt it carefully, but still shook his head: "No... I can only sense this much."
"Okay then... Let's try again and see if the other soul cards can summon the inner side."
"good!"
In the following time, Wen Ren Ge kept trying with other soul cards... but it didn't go well.
The inner face of the Fierce Angel was what Wen Renge had summoned just now when he was stimulated by his own imperial heart and had a burst of inspiration.
Now that he has exited that state, it is a bit difficult to summon again.
But Yu Cang was not in a hurry. Since he had found a clue, all that was left was to peel off the cocoon and draw out the silk.
Soon, half the afternoon had passed, but Wen Ren Ge still failed to summon the second inner face.
Fortunately, Wen Ren Ge's personality is relatively easygoing. Although he failed many times, he did not get discouraged and continued to cooperate over and over again.
"...Forget it, let's stop here for today." Yu Cang frowned.
When I came to my senses, it was already late.
He was fine, but when he turned around, he found that Jie Shuang and Qi'er had been waiting for him in the audience.
In short, the pendulum has begun to take shape, so there is no need to rush, let’s eat first.
"President Wenren." Yu Cang smiled. "For the next few days, I'll probably have to ask you to maintain this soul card."
Now, this Fierce Angel is the only one that has been successfully summoned. It is very worthwhile to study it. It is better not to cancel the summoning until it is fully understood.
Anyway, as a permanent spell card, it does not take up any mental stress and there is no risk of sudden death.
"Ah?" Wen Renge opened his eyes wide, "I want to keep him with me forever? But..."
It can be said that the appearance of the Fierce Angel is quite impressive, with skin as white as holy light. When she turns into a sculpture and floats beside him, she has an indescribable beauty.
If she were alive, there would be nothing wrong in taking her out, but in her current state... if someone saw her at night, they would definitely think there was a ghost following him.
"It's okay. I'll help you apply to the association. The association won't arrest you." Yu Cang patted Wen Renge's shoulder and said earnestly, "President, for the advancement of the entire card maker industry, I'm sorry to bother you for the next two days!"
Wen Renge: "...OK."
…
Everyone then left the arena.
Gu Jieshuang was pushing the wheelchair, and Yu Cang's real body was sitting on it, as if he was asleep.
Just now, he only activated [Personal Expedition] for a while when he used the Emperor's Heart, so he didn't need to sleep for too long.
Wen Ren Ge was the one trying it out in the afternoon, and he didn't need to use his soul energy.
"Boss, are you going to create a new way of summoning?" Gu Jieshuang finally found the opportunity to ask.
"Well, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be."
The voice came from the side, but no one was seen.
Wang Zhiwo followed invisibly beside him, and only came back to his senses when he heard Gu Jieshuang's question.
"Amazing!" Gu Jieshuang couldn't help but praise, "Boss, how many summoning methods do you have in mind?"
From the beginning, the shock of the emergence of fusion and synchronization, to now... Gu Jieshuang seems to no longer be surprised about Yu Cang creating the summoning method.
What? A new summoning method?
Isn’t that something the boss can come up with on the spur of the moment?
Of course, this is a joke. To the outside world, the birth of each new summoning method is a carnival for the card maker world.
"That's all." Yu Cang shook his head. "This should be the last one... With the release of the Pendulum, all the foundations of the Soul Card system have been laid. The rest... is development."
Fusion, attunement, connection, excess, ritual, pendulum.
With all six summoning methods complete, the development of soul cards can finally begin to truly accelerate.
I hope I can push the soul card to its peak state before I really face Huang.
"Is that so?" Gu Jieshuang raised his head and looked into the distance.
It was evening, and the setting sun swept across the vast sky of Mudu, dyeing the whole world a warm red.
From last year to now...the boss has done a lot of things.
He is obviously just a person of the same age as him, but he has been trying little by little to find a way out for the entire blue planet in the impending doomsday.
"boss……"
"Um?"
"Will you get tired?"
"Why are you tired?"
Wang Zhiwo did not look up at the sunset like Gu Jieshuang did. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at Qi'er who was circling around him with a smile.
Gu Jieshuang opened her mouth, but didn't know how to start.
The air then became quiet.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
Buzz, buzz——
Yu Cang's personal terminal suddenly rang. Wang Zhiwo picked it up and saw that it was a message from Ren Zheng.
-
Xiao Cang, everything is ready.
Yu Cang smiled lightly.
-
Okay, I'll go back the day after tomorrow.
…
In Hu Yanzhan's laboratory
Cheng Mingye looked at Zhao Yang in front of him and couldn't help but smile.
"You're the one...wanting to join the Institution?"
Zhao Yang nodded seriously: "It's me... I have made up my mind."
"Hmm...Okay. I'm sure your teacher has already told you about the rules of the Reception Bureau." Cheng Mingye took out his personal terminal and glanced over it. "Since you took the initiative to ask, it saves me from having to come to you again."
As these light words fell, Zhao Yang's eyes suddenly narrowed.
"So..." His tone was a little bitter, "As expected, after I return to normal, I will be taken away by the Institution, right?"
"So smart." Cheng Mingye turned his gaze to Zhao Yang, a faint smile on his lips, "It seems that you have realized what you created back then... Then there is no need for me to say more, just follow me."
This time he came with two tasks.
He came mainly to see Yu Cang, and as for picking up Zhao Yang... he got the task from the treatment bureau after he met Yu Cang.
Mainly because he was closer.
Yu Cang helped Zhao Yang recover to normal. The process was very fast and there was no preparation, which resulted in the reception center receiving the news a few days late.
At this moment, a steady voice came from the side.
"Comrade." Hu Yanzhan sat on a chair, holding his teacup in his hand, and said in a serious tone, "I will leave Xiaoyang to you...but he is still my student."
"Don't worry, your disciple's brain is quite valuable, no one will bully him." Cheng Mingye smiled, looking quite reliable. "A talent like him deserves to shine in the treatment bureau."
Hu Yanzhan: "...Then I'll leave it to you."
So weird.
This is obviously a normal process of "changing majors", how come... Although Hu Yanzhan knew that it was not right to think so, under Cheng Mingye's strange tone.
Why did he have the illusion that Zhao Yang was going to be sent to the palace for castration?
Weird, so weird.
Cheng Mingye: "Okay, follow me."
Zhao Yang: “…”
…
After leaving the laboratory, Zhao Yang followed Cheng Mingye into a car.
In the car, seeing that there was no one around, Zhao Yang couldn't help but ask, "Um...where will I be taken to?"
"I'm from Yujiang."
"It's so far... so are we going to Yujiang now?"
"Of course not—before that, let's go find your senior brother first."
"Ah?" Zhao Yang was stunned. "I have a senior brother? Wait, you mean, you are my teacher?"
"uh-huh."
"That... is fine." Zhao Yang could only agree, "Then my senior brother... he should have been in the treatment center for a long time, right?"
"Not long. He hasn't reported in yet."
"Ah?" Zhao Yang's eyes widened. "Not yet... Wait! If that's the case, shouldn't the senior brother be me?"
"I don't want it." Cheng Mingye turned around and smiled gently, "I want him to be your senior brother. Do you have any objection?"
Zhao Yang: "...Okay."
…
Soon, the exchange activities in Mudu came to an end.
Until everyone arrived at Mudu Airport, Wen Ren Ge still had not summoned the second inner face.
In this regard, Wen Ren Ge’s comment was - it’s a good thing that he didn’t summon a second one!
Waiting Room
Wen Ren Ge sat on the chair, and Lie Tianshi sat sideways beside him, with his face lowered and eyes closed, motionless like a porcelain doll.
The appearance of the Fiery Angel was already exquisite, and with the pair of folded wings behind her...she immediately became the focus of the entire audience.
Wen Ren Ge felt really uncomfortable sitting here.
Normally it was fine, but now he had just accepted his instincts and was still adjusting. This was the time when his instincts were the strongest. He could clearly sense every glance directed at him, and he felt like he was being stabbed in the back.
Yes, he had reported it to the association. With Yu Cang's support and the fact that it was likely related to a new summoning method, the association's approval was incredibly fast.
Wen Ren Ge never imagined that one day he would be able to board a plane with an activated soul card.
However, the application was approved, and others don’t know why it was approved!
The looks from ordinary passengers were fine...even the people from the airline were looking at him sideways, secretly discussing where this young man came from, and even the higher-ups had to make concessions.
You should know that airplane security is very strict. Not to mention activated soul cards, even card decks have to be checked in.
This is the bottom line, there is no possibility of compromise... Seeing this scene today was of course quite novel.
Wen Ren Ge looked at the others stiffly, but found that they were all staying far away from him, as if they were just passers-by.
Yu Cang did respond a little, but he just shrugged, indicating that he was unable to help.
Sighing, Wen Ren Ge understood that he would have to bear the consequences alone.
The other side
Yu Cang smiled lightly and looked away.
I can finally go back.
In fact, he also has this authority...but his royal self is much more low-key. He can just hide when not in use and is not that conspicuous at all.
This situation has lasted for a day. It will probably be over when we return to the ancient capital.
In the past two days, after communicating with Wen Ren Ge, he has gained a certain understanding of the inner side of the soul card.
However, in the current situation, even if [Personal Expedition] is activated, it is a bit difficult to operate, so if you want to do it yourself, you still have to wait until the [Personal Expedition] is over.
According to the current data, Pendulum Summoning should also be able to bring you some surprises just like the ritual.
However, all this will have to wait until my consciousness returns from the astral realm.
Speaking of this.
Yu Cang rubbed his fingers, and his heart couldn't help but become a little excited.
Two days ago, Ren Zheng sent him a message saying that everything was ready, and he was referring to none other than his plan to cut down trees to save La.
You know, the world where La is is very valuable. Although you can't go there now due to your lack of ability, you can still get some benefits.
However, the giant sun tree is extremely terrifying after all, and it needs some hard power support. This support naturally needs to be provided by Ren Zheng.
Yu Cang's rare request for Ren Zheng's help naturally immediately earned his high attention.
…
Ancient Capital Card Creators Association
"Long Day" experimental site.
It can be said that the Changri Experimental Field is already the highest-specification experimental field within the ancient capital. The soul cards that are researched here are somewhat worthless even if they are passed down from generation to generation at a high level.
The defensive totems here can protect against attacks from super-level legends, something even myths can't instantly destroy. Controlling all of this is the "will" of Emperor Chang'an's mythical soul card.
It is almost impossible for safety accidents to occur in the experiments conducted here.
At this moment, in the center of the huge testing ground, the several beings standing here are all terrifyingly powerful.
The person standing in the middle is naturally Ren Zheng, the president of Ancient Capital University and the holder of the mythical soul card "Candle".
Next to him... was Ye Chengming, dressed in military uniform, the owner of the "Alien Creation Dragon"!
Then... Ning Xingyi, from the Divine Capital, the most powerful Soul Card Master under myth! The wielder of the "Martial Emperor Sword"!
Afterwards, an old man in ancient robes stood up with a scroll in his hand, a gentle smile on his face. It was Zhong Sheng, the holder of the "Zhu Zi Tian Jue"!
Next to him was a slender middle-aged man who was resting with his eyes closed. He was none other than Ling'e from the imperial capital, the owner of "Tianmen"!
There was another person behind him, a woman with well-maintained skin. There were no wrinkles on her face, and her brows were filled with nobility and grace.
She also has a great background... Lingdu, Sheng Wenrong, descendant of Emperor Sheng, holder of the mythical soul card "Four Seas Dragon Ruins"!
In one venue, there were actually six holders of mythical soul cards gathered... Although the soul cards they held were all in a hidden state, even so, the air around them seemed to solidify. Ordinary people would probably feel difficulty breathing and faint in a short while just by being in it.
Behind these six guardians of the country, there are three soul card masters. Judging from their aura, there is no doubt that they are all real guardians of the country, but they do not hold myths in their hands.
In just one laboratory, nine guardians of the nation were gathered... and they were all powerful beings who were skilled in both card making and combat!
Standing in front of them, I, the king of Yu Cang, felt guilty.
Wow...isn't this scene a bit too exaggerated!
In this room now, ordinary national guardians are no longer uncommon. If someone doesn’t have a mythical soul card, he would be embarrassed to even speak loudly!
Old Man Ren, Old Man Ren, I did ask you to prepare, but you brought so many people here... What if I make a mistake and fail to chop down the giant sun tree, and then nothing happens? Wouldn't that be embarrassing!
Besides, according to the rules, you in Shenhua Zhenguo are not allowed to leave your city. How come so many of you have gathered here today!
"Yu Cang, don't be nervous."
Ye Chengming tried hard to make his expression look a little more relaxed, but as he had been fighting with all kinds of wild beasts for many years, murderous intent had long penetrated his brow. At this moment, when he spoke so calmly, it still made people subconsciously raise their hair, as if they had encountered a natural enemy at the top of the food chain.
"We are here today to ensure that everything goes well. You just need to do your own thing." Ye Chengming promised.
After Ren Zheng submitted his application, Ye Chengming took it very seriously.
Judging from the information, Yu Cang is planning to rescue a being who may have reached a level above mythology!
Saving such an existence is worth it no matter what the cost!
And a place that could trap such a being... one could imagine that it must be fraught with danger. Ye Chengming had read the information about a giant sun tree completely infected by the wilderness... He thought for a long time, but still had no idea how to rescue it.
Yu Cang said he had a way. Although Ye Chengming had some doubts in his heart, he did not stop him. He just tried his best to transfer all the national guards he could to this place.
Even if Yu Cang misjudged the situation due to his youthful arrogance, at least his safety must be guaranteed.
Normally, the Mythical State could not leave its city, but now was a special case, and the tasks related to Yu Cang were already at the highest level.
"Yes, Xiao Cang." Zhong Sheng tutted his words, "I never thought that a few of us old bones would be able to get together one day. This is all thanks to Xiao Cang."
Ning Xingyi didn't say anything. He didn't like to communicate, so at this moment he just looked at Yu Cang with encouragement.
On the side, Sheng Wenrong looked at Yu Cang with curiosity in her eyes, but she was not familiar with Yu Cang after all, so she did not speak.
"Alright, Xiao Cang." Ren Zheng said at this time, "Just do it boldly. Today, there is absolutely no chance that any accident will bypass us and fall on you!"
