Chapter 720 Pendulum Synchro Summoning
Hearing Yu Cang's call, Gu Jieshuang hurriedly got up.
That’s great... It turns out that the boss understands her and found a reason to rescue her.
She was in a hurry on the road and didn't prepare many topics. If she waited any longer, they would run out!
So, regardless of Mu Xuezhi's repeated attempts to keep her, she rushed into the kitchen and then breathed a sigh of relief.
After closing the door, she came to Yu Cang's side: "Boss... Thank you~"
"I'm not saving you." Yu Cang placed the processed ingredients on the chopping board. "You're good with a knife, so you can do the chopping."
Gu Jieshuang rolled up his sleeves and said enthusiastically, "Okay."
She would do anything as long as it didn't embarrass her.
Yu Cang smiled lightly.
In fact, it was because he eavesdropped secretly in the kitchen and found that his mother's desire for gossip had increased... Looking at Gu Jie Shuang's appearance, she would probably tell all their past stories just to find a topic.
By then, he will be the one who feels embarrassed in the kitchen.
Although... it's only a matter of time before those stories are exposed, but at least, he shouldn't be at the scene when it happens.
Calling Gu Jieshuang into the kitchen was just for self-protection.
On the side, Gu Jieshuang picked up a kitchen knife and started showing off his skills.
As a melee soul card master, and one who has already grasped the rudiments of true sword intent, her knife skills are naturally beyond words!
As the kitchen knife flew, light shuttled back and forth among the potatoes, and pieces of potato, even transparent pieces, flew out.
"Wait..." Yu Cang touched his chin, "It doesn't need to be so thin..."
Although it’s okay if it’s a little thin, the precision of Gu Jieshuang’s knife skills is really exaggerated - it even exceeds the limitations of an ordinary kitchen knife.
The thickness of the slices is probably measured in cells. If you put it in the pot, it will probably turn into mashed potatoes after just a few turns.
"Yeah? Isn't thinner the better?" Gu Jieshuang was confused.
“Moderate is best – ever heard of thin thick slices?”
"Forehead……"
"Just cut that kind."
"That sounds amazing..."
Seeing that Gu Jieshuang looked like her brain was overloaded, Yu Cang smiled, came behind her, and held Gu Jieshuang's knife-holding hand from behind.
"Like this—"
Brush, brush...
Yu Cang's knife skills are naturally not as good as Gu Jieshuang's, but the cooking skills he has practiced since childhood have made his knife-holding hand incredibly steady, and every cut is just right.
Feeling the body warmth wrapping around her from behind, Gu Jieshuang's face turned slightly red.
Why are you suddenly so close...
Although I'm used to physical contact with the boss, there are people outside the kitchen now, and they're all the boss's relatives.
The kitchen door is frosted and can't completely block out light and shadow. What if someone outside sees it...
For a moment, Gu Jieshuang's thoughts were quite confused. The strange shyness and expectation made her imagine too much and she could hardly think.
Fortunately, Yu Cang only demonstrated a few moves and then left behind her.
"What's wrong?"
"Ah... nothing."
Gu Jieshuang came back to her senses and shook her head repeatedly, but now even her ears were red.
"Do you know how to cut it?"
"Hmm...I see!"
Although her brain was completely out of service just now, Gu Jieshuang still had the embryonic form of sword intent. Not to mention her brain being blank, even if her senses were completely lost, her body would firmly remember every detail of swinging the sword just now and could reproduce it at any time.
What's more, the thin and thick slices cut by the boss are still on the side, which can be used as a reference at any time.
Yu Cang smiled and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."
Gu Jieshuang nodded, then took a deep breath, quickly recovered, and started cutting vegetables.
He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "Boss, your cooking skills are amazing... How did you practice that?"
At this time, Yu Cang had already started processing other ingredients.
Hearing this, he was silent for a moment before saying:
"Ever since I could touch the chopping board, I have been cooking for our family."
Gu Jieshuang: “…”
Yu Cang tutted his words. "My parents are very busy, so in order to avoid eating takeout every meal, they have no choice but to do this... Over time, I have become the one who takes care of the family's meals. This is also good, after all -"
Yu Cang paused, then moved closer to Gu Jieshuang and whispered in her ear, "After all, the food my parents cook tastes pretty much the same as Old Man Ren's."
…
"Xiao Cang!"
An ominous sound came from outside the kitchen.
…
"Ahem, I'm cooking." Yu Cang coughed lightly.
At the same time, I couldn't help but sigh.
The hearing of a high-level soul card master is really outrageous... He was obviously speaking so quietly.
Seeing this, Gu Jieshuang couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
I've never seen the boss like this before.
"Oh right..." Yu Cang changed the subject. "I heard from Emperor Shenhua that when you were in the Desolate Heaven Realm, you comprehended the true prototype of sword intent and integrated it into the meaning of the Fate Star?"
"Yeah, yes!" Gu Jieshuang nodded.
She put down the kitchen knife, wiped her hands, and then with a slight movement of her fingers, a soul card flew out of the card box and came in front of Yu Cang.
"Here, this is it... Boss, take a look!"
Yu Cang set his eyes on it, and his expression couldn't help but change slightly.
…
Soul Card Name: Seeing Cangshan and Solving
Quality: None
Attributes: None
ability:
[Life Transmission]: This Soul Card consumes a full tube of Soul Energy when activated. Maintaining this Soul Card does not require lowering the Soul Energy Well limit.
[See the Boundless]: After activation, clear the death cooldown of all soul cards and reconnect all disconnected soul cards.
[Asking the Heavens with a Sword]: When activating [Seeing the Boundless], if the Soul Card is at both ends of the Pendulum Bridge, the Star Rank and Inner Star Rank of the Soul Cards at both ends of the Pendulum Bridge can be compressed as much as possible. Afterwards, the Soul Cards at both ends of the Pendulum Bridge can be used as materials to accelerate the Pendulum Synchro Summon. At this time, both are considered adjustments.
[Sword of Heaven's Heart]: While active, "Gu Jieshuang" cannot be sealed or controlled. This Soul Card grants a significant damage bonus against seals and control abilities. This ability is inherited when Synchro Summoned.
…
This soul card has two more abilities, which should be the embodiment of Gu Jieshuang's sword intent.
Indeed, very strong.
However, the most obvious change to this soul card is the change in its type.
Although the type of soul card was not displayed because it was a gray soul card, Yu Cang could sense that this soul card had become a permanent spell card!
"What's the current cooldown for [Seeing the Boundless]?"
Continuous spell cards will always be on the field and will not enter death cooldown after the effect is activated. Therefore, as long as the activation conditions are met, the abilities in them can be used at any time.
Many Yongxi spell cards introduce a resource accumulation mechanism to limit the use of abilities, but this soul card does not have a similar mechanism according to the description. That is to say, the activation of abilities is only related to cooling.
Gu Jieshuang: "Um... the cooldown of this ability is actually the same as the death cooldown of the previous soul card..."
Yu Cang: "..."
That doesn't change.
I originally thought that after becoming a permanent spell card, [Seeing the Boundless] could be used repeatedly at a higher frequency... but now it seems that it still doesn't work.
As it is now, I can only say that there are both good and bad sides.
The advantage is that "Seeing the Cangshan Mountains and Solving the Problem" only needs to be activated once and it will last forever. That is to say, when you use "Seeing the Infinity" again, you don't need to pay soul energy and can use it directly. It is actually more flexible.
But the downside is... the permanent spell card needs to be on the field all the time, but it is not invincible. If the enemy finds an opportunity to destroy this soul card with an attack, it will fall into a longer cooldown than before.
However, this card can usually only be used once in battle, so if you think about it this way... there is no difference.
Originally, there was no need to increase mental pressure to maintain a perpetual spell card, and this soul card did not even require the soul energy limit to be occupied. It could be said to be extremely cost-effective, and it could be activated all the time, activating [Seeing the Boundless] at any time.
Then, Yu Cang turned his gaze to the remaining two abilities.
He thought for a moment.
"Jieshuang, I heard from Emperor Shenhua that when you were in the Desolate Heaven Realm, a sac beast used its power to lock the future of the world. You used your sword will to break its power?"
"It's not that exaggerated. At most, I just tore a gap in its ability. The one who truly broke its ability was the myth of Emperor Chang'an."
"That's incredible." Yu Cang's gaze remained fixed on the Soul Card in front of him. "It shouldn't be possible to do this with just this Soul Card, right?"
It’s not that Yu Cangxiao is looking after Jie Shuang, but the use of soul cards has its own rules.
Although the combination of [Asking the Sky with a Sword] and [Sword to Unlock the Heart of Heaven] is very powerful, and can indeed restrain the Mythical Capsular Beast's Heavenly Demon Wheel, the restraint requires the same quality to be meaningful.
Even if Gu Jieshuang used this Jian Cangshan Erjie skill with his level 7 strength, it would only be at the 14th level, while the myth starts at the 21st level. No matter what, the two could not form a restraining relationship.
Therefore, Yu Cang was very curious.
"Well..." Gu Jieshuang pondered for a moment, then said, "Actually, it has something to do with the nature of the sac beast's ability... The sac beast simply used its power to lock the future of the world, but my accelerated synchronization can transcend the future! If the sac beast used other means to restrict it, then perhaps I wouldn't be able to accelerate synchronization."
After hearing this explanation, Yu Cang was stunned, and then seemed to understand.
Simply put, this has nothing to do with the strength of ability, but rather with the laws of nature.
For example, if a wild beast created a piece of pure ice of mythical quality, no one below the mythical level would be able to break or pass through the ice, and there would be no problem with that.
However, if it is a beam of light, then no matter what quality it is, it can pass through the ice, but the energy it carries may be absorbed completely.
Because it is a natural law that light passes through ice, and it has nothing to do with the magnitude of energy. As long as your ice is transparent, light can pass through it freely.
The same goes for accelerated synchronization.
The Inner Universe Demon Wheel locks the original future, while the "natural law" of accelerated synchronization is to transcend and summon a future that does not exist, so it can be used in the Demon Wheel!
If the capsule beast did not use the Heavenly Demon Wheel, but used other more "primitive" means, such as directly locking Gu Jieshuang's soul energy well, or simply and roughly physically locking Gu Jieshuang, then there would be no way to accelerate synchronization.
This time, the Demonic Wheel suffered a loss due to its advanced mechanism.
"That's not right." Yu Cang discovered another loophole. "This only means that you can complete the accelerated synchronization and successfully summon the sword of the future to the Netherworld Heaven. But after the summoning is completed, the sword is still locked, and there is still no way to restrain or even break the Heavenly Demon Wheel..."
Gu Jieshuang nodded: "That's right, so this step will rely on my newly learned 'Pendulum Synchronization' to complete it!"
Yu Cang was very interested: "Tell me about it."
"As the name suggests, this is a summoning method that combines Pendulum Summoning and Synchro Summoning. In this summoning method, both the Outer Star Rank and the Inner Star Rank will be added to the Synchro Summoning!
"At that time, I used [Asking the Heavens with the Sword] to suppress the outer star level of the soul cards on both ends of the Pendulum Bridge to level eight, so the sword I finally summoned was level sixteen. The inner star level was suppressed to level eleven, so... the final sword will also have a 'future' of level twenty-two!"
Yu Cang raised his brows slightly: "Twenty-second level... This should be the inner star level, but you shouldn't be able to use the twenty-second level inner star level to perform a pendulum summon, so what's the use of it?"
"No, no, Boss, twenty-two isn't the inner star rank, it's the 'future'! In the Accelerated Pendulum Synchro Summoning, the sum of the outer star ranks is the actual quality, while the sum of the inner star ranks is the height of the future I summon!
"So, although the sword I summoned is only level sixteen, a high-level heirloom, and its destructive power cannot truly harm a myth, its ability can produce a level twenty-two impact, enough to unleash the power of [Sword to Unlock the Heart of Heaven] and tear a small hole in the Heavenly Demon Wheel."
After hearing these words, Yu Cang couldn't help but be stunned.
"Is this still possible?"
This time, he really didn't expect it.
The combination of the two summoning methods has been seen before, just like the ritual fusion summoning used by Duan Feng in the league.
And this pendulum synchronization... he really didn't expect it.
Compared with Gu Jieshuang's previous accelerated synchronization, the advantages of this summoning method are obvious.
Before, the power that Gu Jieshuang used to surpass her limits and summon the future could only exist for a moment and could only support her to swing a sword.
There was no need to worry about the pendulum synchronization. After all, the sword was only at level sixteen at normal times, but its ability priority was at level twenty-two - which was already quite terrifying.
This means that the abilities of rule-based soul cards of the same level can hardly have any effect on her, but she can exert absolute restraint and continue fighting with it.
"But it's not that easy." Gu Jieshuang chuckled. "To summon such a future, I must truly be qualified to reach such a limit... It is precisely because I have comprehended the rudiments of true sword intent that such a 'ceiling' is possible."
Speaking of this, Gu Jieshuang's tone was quite complacent.
After the death of the True Dragon, some of the pressure that had been bothering her also dissipated a lot - the upper limit of her sword intent was at least level 22, so as long as she worked hard and brought out her potential, she should be able to become a legend.
A myth... Even the boss must need it!
Finally, finally, I won’t be left behind.
