Chapter 378 Can I receive a duel invitation here?
Seeing Ran Zhi return to Chaos, Yu Cang turned his chair and returned to the table.
"The master of this body." Ye Lai said, "Ran Zhi is still not trustworthy."
"I know, but there's no other way now."
Just now, he took the time to ask about the information about the secret techniques of the Imaginary Palace, but judging from Ran Zhi's performance... he probably didn't know much.
He had no way of estimating how much control and suppression power the legendary "king" had over the secret techniques.
Even the princess, his descendant, knew very little about this secret method.
If we think about it pessimistically, it is possible that they have already been watched by the king through secret methods.
When Ran Zhi left, Yu Cang threw an entry extraction on him, and the result was a one-day countdown, which meant that a legendary entry would be produced.
Although the legendary level must be quite high, it obviously has little to do with the secret technique... It is unlikely to extract any entries related to the secret technique itself from Ran Zhi.
So for Yu Cang now, no matter how much he guards against Ran Zhi... it actually doesn't make much sense. It's better to trust Ran Zhi and take this time to study Chaoliang carefully.
Yu Cang thought for a moment and said, "During this period of time, I'd like to trouble you and Feng to keep an eye on him and prevent him from doing anything strange."
"I understand." Ye Lai nodded.
Then, as if he had sensed something, he said, "Master of this body, I will return to Primal Chaos first."
"Well, go ahead."
Ye Lai turned around and plunged into the soul card that suddenly appeared, while Yu Cang's attention returned to the knowledge representing the banned cards.
Only after actually coming into contact with the banned cards can one understand the harmfulness of this system.
The hazards during the production process and the dangers during use are only one aspect. On the other hand... the cost of producing banned cards is too low.
Just like now, Yu Cang has only learned some basic knowledge about banned cards, but he is already confident that as long as the conditions are met, he can make an ordinary legendary-level banned card.
And this production process requires almost no strength from Yu Cang himself. In other words, even if Yu Cang is only a first or second level soul card master now, he can still make it.
The answer to all this lies in this "condition being met".
To create a Heirloom Soul card, rhythm, materials, understanding, and timing are all essential. However, for a banned card, any of these four items that are missing can be mindlessly filled with "life".
Therefore, as long as you know these basic principles on the table and have one or two million lives on hand, you can make a banned card. And if you don’t worry about the risk of losing control, you can use it immediately after making it.
Is this difficult? This is too easy. Anyway, I don't have to bear the cost myself, so I just rush in and it's done.
Once such a convenient and quick power conversion formula is made public, it will undoubtedly cause huge social unrest.
Although everyone will awaken the Soul Energy Well at some point, not everyone has the talent to cultivate it. Most ordinary people's upper limit is around level three. Originally, it wouldn't be a big deal, as they wouldn't cultivate it. But once the choice of a banned card is presented...
So, how many people will choose to take the risk? No matter what society, there will always be crazy people.
Regardless of whether the person who chooses to ban the card succeeds in the end, the damage caused is irreversible.
This is just the harm caused by basic card ban knowledge.
As the knowledge of card banners becomes more and more complete, they no longer need to have such a large team to produce banned cards, with millions of people at a time.
Although the harm caused by this is theoretically smaller, it is precisely because of this that the actions of card banners will become more covert and difficult to prevent... For the entire society, the harm caused will only be greater.
After all, no matter what, the production cost of banned cards is much lower than that of normal cards, so as long as they exist, there will definitely be people trying to make them.
After production is completed, the use of banned cards is very different from that of ordinary soul cards.
Among ordinary soul cards, powerful soul cards often require a certain summoning process, but banned cards... may not require it. You can even skip many levels and directly use higher-quality banned cards. The price - naturally - is the risk of backlash.
Almost all card banners eventually die in the backlash of the banned cards. There are many banned cards in the treatment bureau, all of which are caused by banned cards getting out of control accidents.
This is inevitable. After all, if you're using banned cards, you're definitely going for strength, so the cards you're using are definitely cards that are far stronger than your own.
Banned cards usually have their own consciousness. When they are just born, they may still be in awe of the so-called master, but after fighting together for a long time, they will understand what kind of person you are. According to the crazy personalities of banned cards, the probability of not retaliating is almost zero.
Even in the collection bureau that has tried its best to standardize the card banning, it is impossible to completely eliminate these harmful effects, so there is nothing to say. In the territory of Yan Country, any card banner caught will be killed.
Yu Cang moved closer and looked at the notes on the table in the light.
These notes were all given by Cheng Mingye - there was naturally no textbook about banned cards. Even in the detention center, everything was taught by word of mouth and by example between master and apprentice.
He is now inside the soul card space of the treatment center.
Cheng Mingye did not take Yu Cang to learn the banned cards immediately. Instead, he gave some of his previous notes to Yu Cang and asked him to take a look at them first and learn the basics well.
In his words, there's nothing much to explain about these basics. They might be difficult for others to learn, but for you, a week is more than enough time to thoroughly grasp them. Once you've learned them, you can go straight to the lab.
So Yu Cang took these things back and chewed them himself.
Buzz...
The card box on his waist suddenly vibrated. Yu Cang raised his head and a soul card flew out of the card box, flew to the side, and landed on the ground, forming a human figure.
It’s Feng.
Now, it is very simple for Feng to come to the real world - he just needs to stack it on the King's Self and can "transform" at any time.
"...Summoner." Feng was silent.
Yu Cang looked at Feng in front of him for a while, then sighed helplessly.
"What happened this time?"
"It's my fault," Feng said. "I believe that letting Ran Zhi live would very likely expose you to the Narrative Palace. In this case, killing him is the best solution."
"I heard from Ye that... you used all your strength for this, even the deepest and most forgotten memories were brought out."
"……yes."
Yu Cang looked at Feng for a long time before he said, "Do you think I should be very touched?"
"unnecessary."
"Of course, because I don't need to be moved, and I don't need you to do this." Yu Cang stood up and looked directly at Feng, "Feng, I just want to ask one thing now - why do you think that the matter of Ran Zhi is so big that you need to bear all the crises alone?"
maple:"……"
"I've said from the beginning that we are comrades-in-arms, and comrades-in-arms should face these difficulties together, unless you don't agree with this relationship." Yu Cang stared into Feng's eyes, "Do you think I would sacrifice you like throwing away a chess piece?"
"No." Feng lowered his head and looked away, "I trust you, so I shouldn't let you know."
Sacrifice is too heavy a burden for the young Yu Cang now. I think he is unable to make such a decision, so perhaps leaving without saying goodbye is a better choice for him.
"Have you ever thought about the consequences?"
“…”
"The consequence is that once I know about this and that you're being hunted by the Imaginary Palace, I'll immediately do everything I can to replenish my excess, then delve into the Chaos Primordial Realm and wage war against the entire Imaginary Palace." Yu Cang said, "Since you consider us comrades, you should know that your departure won't sever our relationship. It will only put me in even greater danger."
Feng took a deep breath, "Sorry."
"Since you trust me, you should know," Yu Cang said, "Even the Imaginary Palace is not an insurmountable behemoth for me. We can surpass it together and even use it for our own benefit."
Feng raised his head and said seriously, "I'm sorry, Summoner. It won't happen again."
"Yeah." Yu Cang nodded.
Then, he suddenly said: "Feng, your hometown is a very beautiful place."
“…”
…
Treatment Bureau
Somewhere in a separated space
Zhao Yang was sitting at the table, studying hard over a pile of photocopied notes.
He was in a rather miserable situation. As a genius, he would undoubtedly have the best resources wherever he went, but when he came to the treatment center with Yu Cang... he even had to read photocopied notes.
However, he didn't say anything - it was his bad luck to have met Yu Cang.
He originally thought that since Yu Cang was able to directly make the Super-Rank Legend into a banned card, he must have a certain foundation for banning cards.
However, when he first arrived at the Intake Bureau, Yu Cang seemed to know nothing about the basics of banned cards - when asked how he achieved the feat in Mudu, he simply said that it was a sudden burst of inspiration, and that Qi'er was originally a half-finished banned card, so all these factors combined to make it possible.
Haha, you’re kidding.
However, looking at Yu Cang's expression, it doesn't seem like he's faking it...
No matter what, it was true that Yu Cang had a weak foundation. So, after arriving at the treatment center, he didn't want to lose his first fight with Yu Cang!
Cheng Mingye stipulated that the time limit for learning the basics was seven days. He looked at the notes. Although the knowledge of banned cards was simpler than that of normal card making, it was impossible for ordinary people to learn all the "basics" in seven days.
But for people like him and Yu Cang, that is definitely a piece of cake!
And this first competition is naturally to see who will finish learning first between him and Yu Cang!
Come on, learn! He is the best at learning!
Let us put aside everything, all inspiration, imagination, creativity, understanding, etc., and just engage in a hearty speed contest in the purest original learning!
He will never lose!
There were already bloodshot eyes in Zhao Yang's eyes. He quickly browsed through the notes, and his refreshed brain mobilized all his memories at this moment!
"Speaking of which, this is quite strange." Zhao Yang frowned. "Forbidden cards can use life as the raw material for making cards... but why can't wild beasts be used?"
It seems that all the cases in this notebook use humans as raw materials, while the others, whether wild beasts or spiritual beasts, are much worse than using humans.
Why do humans have such high utility that even an ordinary person can be part of an epic or even heirloom soul card?
What is it in the human body that wild beasts don’t have... It’s obvious that no matter what data you look at, humans are completely inferior to wild beasts!
Except...the soul energy well.
Zhao Yang thought silently.
Could it be the soul energy well?
…
"Soul Energy Well." Yu Cang leaned back in his chair.
He had almost finished learning all these notes - and only one day had passed since Cheng Mingye handed the notes to him.
With the help of the entries, learning is so easy... This time is not the limit of Yu Cang's learning, but the limit of his reading speed.
For this level of knowledge, a quick glance is enough. Not only can you fully learn it, but you can even apply it to other situations.
So, although these notes seem numerous, they are actually just a bunch of paper tigers.
Naturally, Yu Cang also had questions about the human body.
He turned his gaze to the side and saw Qi'er sleeping.
Qi'er, there is no soul energy well, this is an established fact.
Ordinary people will awaken their soul energy wells at the age of seventeen. Before the age of seventeen, the soul energy wells will only be hidden, not disappear. At this time, if some unexpected events occur, the soul energy wells will also awaken early - Zhao Yang is an example.
And Qi'er... there was no trace of the Soul Energy Well in his mind, not even the one that was hidden.
Without the restriction of the soul energy well, Qi'er can almost unlimitedly grab spiritual power and convert it into soul energy. This is indeed very powerful, but if you are not careful, you may turn yourself into dementia.
If a large amount of mental stress is lost in a short period of time, it can really kill people - the conversion rate of the soul energy well is actually very close to the safety limit that the human body can withstand. If it is faster, it will become very dangerous.
Let’s not talk about this for now. What Yu Cang is thinking about now is... What is the relationship between the Soul Energy Well and the banned cards?
If we look at Qi'er's example, in order to make a banned card, it is necessary to remove the soul energy well. Doesn't that mean that the soul energy well is actually an obstacle for the human body to become a banned card?
But if it weren't for the Soul Energy Well, humans would have no advantage over other races.
"There are still too few examples." Yu Cang clicked his tongue.
There were only so many examples in the notes, and it was difficult for him to see anything from these data.
"Forget it, let's ignore it for now." Yu Cang stretched lazily. "There are still six days left before the deadline given by Cheng Mingye. It's a good time to study the ritual and the pendulum."
Having learned the basics of banned cards, he already had a clear understanding of the status of rituals in the banned card system.
Rituals are perfect for standardizing a card ban system! You could even create a card ban textbook based on rituals!
With the ritual, card banners will have a more accurate judgment of the number of lives sacrificed during the production process, and no longer have to worry about unnecessary waste!
All I can say is that even if she wasn't there, Zhao Yang would have to go in sooner or later.
Yu Cang was just about to see if he was busy with something else when suddenly, his personal terminal vibrated.
Cheng Mingye sent a message.
When he opened it, Yu Cang frowned slightly.
-
Nephew, there is something fun you want to see?
-
……explain-
There's an "exchange student" from another detention center who, upon hearing that you're here, insists on having a duel with you.
-
And me? Why.
-
He said that he used to be the president of the Battle Club at Nodo University, but because he felt it was too boring, he joined the Admissions Bureau. It was a pity that he never got to compete with other universities, so when he heard about you, he immediately got excited!
-
……boring
