Chapter 90 Duel! Urban Tales!
After handing the detailed drawing method of the Undead Warrior and the resonance stone to Yang Heli, Yu Cang leaned back in his chair and rubbed his brows.
Yang Heli had a military background, so handing the Undead Warrior over to him was like handing it over to the military. Yu Cang had always respected these soldiers who protected the Yan Kingdom, and it would be nice to be able to do something for them.
After finally determining the general framework of Synchro Summoning, Yu Cang has been repeating various experiments, hoping to perfect this summoning method.
He didn't intend to hide this method of summoning. Once it was completed, he would directly organize it into a paper and send it out.
Although this might cause a lot of trouble for me in the National College League in half a year, and would be equivalent to strengthening my opponent in disguise, but... it doesn't matter.
Ever since he learned from Ye Lai that Huang might destroy the world, he has been feeling very uneasy.
Although rationally thinking that there has been no progress in this wasteland for three thousand years and there should be no rush in the short term, he also has a premonition... time may not be running out.
Therefore, he is willing to do anything that can improve the overall combat effectiveness of the soul card master, and the synchronization system is undoubtedly the most suitable thing.
Anyway, he has an entry recorder, so even if everyone uses the same summoning system, no one can beat him. Yu Cang is confident of this.
As for fusion... Judging from Lin Yunqing's progress, ordinary soul card masters probably won't be able to make it. If Yu Cang relies on himself to create the fusion, even if he works himself to death, he won't be able to equip many soul card masters.
There is a new resonance in this, waiting for Yu Cang to decipher and promote.
However, since he had to directly create a new attribute, Yu Cang's workload this time was much greater than that of fusion. He had to do more and more detailed experiments to ensure that the rules he finally summarized were correct.
Fortunately, this time, he had the workaholic Lin Yunqing as his assistant, which saved him a lot of energy.
In this matter, Lin Yunqing's enthusiasm seemed even more exaggerated than his own. Now she has settled down in the laboratory and will throw herself into experiments whenever she has free time.
This directly led to...Gu Jieshuang could no longer handle it alone.
How could a normal soul card master possibly withstand this kind of torture around the clock!
What's more, Gu Jieshuang also had to go to the Combat Club to preside over daily training and help Yu Cang run the store, and she couldn't cope with it at all.
So, Jiang Lou and Wang Changzhi were drafted into the army by Yu Cang.
Although they were only at level three, and could only stand there shaking after synchronizing the Ice Heart Sword, fortunately, they did not need to do anything else but just provide data.
If the two of them take turns, the efficiency is not bad.
"Haha, look at you." Wang Changzhi's face turned pale. He stood aside with his arms folded, and sneered at Jiang Lou.
Jiang Lou could only cast a dangerous look but could do nothing.
After all, the Ice Heart Sword in his hand had now occupied his entire mind, preventing him from uttering a single word.
Beside him, Lin Yunqing looked at the data on the computer that suddenly fluctuated, frowned, and said:
"Focus on it, don't get distracted."
Jiang Lou immediately stood at attention, not daring to breathe.
Wang Changzhi sneered and was about to say something when he saw Lin Yunqing's terrifying gaze sweeping over him.
At that moment, he could only cough dryly and did not make any other sound.
When Lin Yunqing is working seriously, her aura is really strong.
Soon, Jiang Lou's data was recorded. Lin Yunqing tapped Wang Changzhi with the pen cap and said, "It's your turn. Continue."
Wang Changzhi's face fell, but he didn't dare to resist. He could only walk to the center of the venue and take out the Frost White Sword.
Jiang Lou, who was finally liberated, immediately cancelled the summons of the Bingxin Sword, walked to the side tremblingly, picked up the thermos cup, and took a sip of hot water.
He finally understood Teacher Qin Yueran's hobby!
Goji berries really give people strength!
After a few sips of hot water, Jiang Lou immediately felt better. He turned around and looked at Wang Changzhi, who was already slumped on the ground, and smiled contemptuously: "Little dog, you can't do it anymore? Your father has made it through three rounds!"
The corner of Wang Changzhi's mouth twitched: "Dear boy, stop yelling."
Lin Yunqing didn't take his eyes off the computer: "If you say another word of nonsense, I'll throw you out."
Hearing this, the two of them snorted in their hearts and looked away at the same time.
Although this experiment was very difficult, neither of them had any intention of giving up.
After all, it was Master Yu Cang who came to them personally, so how could they refuse?
But having said that, they actually didn't think that this would be a new way of summoning... Do you think the summoning method is cabbage? You can buy a bunch of it by just going out for a walk.
It was already amazing that Master Yu Cang could invent fusion at such a young age. As for this... although the soul energy consumption was much less, in their minds, this should be a higher-level summoning similar to the undead warrior.
After all, judging from the summoning effect of the Ice Heart Sword alone, there is actually nothing special about it. It is no different from the higher-level summoning and both require sacrifices.
However, although they felt that this research might not produce any results, the two were still very willing to work for Yu Cang.
Apart from anything else, they all heard later that Yu Cang directly thanked both of their names at the end of the defense meeting that day!
That was in front of almost all the senior leaders of the school!
In fact, they didn’t know much about the school’s leadership structure, but they heard that many bigwigs were present at the time. To round it off, they had made a big show of themselves in front of the whole school!
Moreover, Master Yu Cang even played the passionate battle video between the two of them in front of them - ah, the teachers must have been envious of our youth and passion at that time, hahahaha...
Being known by all the school leaders will be a great material to show off to classmates in the future.
Moreover, less than a day after the defense, an old professor who had retired from the Combat Academy came to them and asked to give them special training.
Although the days after that suddenly became very hard, the two felt more fulfilled than ever before.
So when Yu Cang asked them to do an experiment, they agreed without saying a word!
This also resulted in not a single drop of the two's soul energy being wasted in the past few days, and all of it was used up thoroughly.
But they use it with pleasure!
Even a second-generation like Jiang Lou felt very accomplished - after all, these were all earned by himself, without relying on his family!
Besides, they are all counting on Master Yu Cang to upgrade their decks, so they will definitely not refuse.
"...Okay, let's end the experiment here. You can take a break first." Lin Yunqing stroked his glasses.
She actually didn't want to stop.
But there was no way. The expressions of the two people made her feel that if they continued, someone might die.
Alas, if only Gu Jieshuang were here.
She still likes this kind of endurance and good physical strength.
Thinking of this, she took the notebook and walked out of the testing site.
Seeing that she finally left, the two of them felt as if they had been pardoned. Jiang Lou, regardless of his image, sat down on the ground, while Wang Changzhi also staggered to the side.
"Hurry, Jiang Lou, give me some water..."
Jiang Lou used up his last bit of strength to hide the cup behind him: "Call me daddy."
"...Be good, stop making trouble."
"Then don't drink."
“…b——a——”
"Hey, my big one."
Wang Changzhi took the thermos cup with gritted teeth.
What a mistake. He must bring his own water cup tomorrow!
After taking a big gulp of wolfberry water, he felt a warm current seeping deep into his body. For a moment, he felt much more comfortable.
"Hiss... I didn't expect that these wolfberries would actually be useful..."
"Yes, I'm beginning to understand Teacher Qin."
"Speaking of which, Old Jiang." Wang Changzhi glanced at the door. Seeing that there was no one there, he leaned close to Jiang Lou's ear and whispered, "Why do I feel that Lin Yunqing is even more terrifying than Sister Shuang..."
"...I don't think so." Jiang Lou perked up a bit and analyzed seriously, "Sister Qing was just a little too serious. Sister Shuang was...really murderous!"
"Hiss, you make sense." Wang Changzhi nodded.
In fact, they didn’t have much contact with Gu Jieshuang, and only met her occasionally when doing experiments.
So, it's just a guess based on impression.
"But if you ask me, Master Yu Cang is the truly awesome one." Jiang Lou chuckled. "No matter how powerful Sister Qing and Sister Shuang are, aren't they completely subdued by Master?"
"That makes sense... By the way, where is the Master? If he were still here, we brothers wouldn't be so badly ordered around by Sister Qing."
"Master..." Jiang Lou scratched his head, "It seems like... he went to a duel? He should be back soon."
…
Arena 8
Yu Cang and Nong Wei Ran stood on both sides.
"I've finally waited for this day, Yu Cang." Nong Weiran closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Card Makers level up very slowly. I used to think I'd never be able to duel with you at the same level... This might be my only chance to defeat you fairly, and I cherish it very much. So... have you come to your senses, Yu Cang?"
It's not that she is arrogant. Her meditation speed is undoubtedly the best even in the Battle Academy. Yu Cang is a card maker, and the gap between him and her soul card maker level will only get bigger and bigger in the future. It is very likely that Yu Cang will never catch up with her.
"Um...indeed." Yu Cang nodded.
However... the gap between the two sides may be a little different from what Nong Weiran imagined.
He later tried practicing a few times while equipping the [Meditation] item, and the effect... was very significant.
Yu Cang's meditation speed was not slow to begin with, and it became even more outrageous after adding the blessing item. When meditating, he could almost feel that his soul energy well was visibly expanding with every breath. If he continued like this, perhaps a few months would be enough for him to break through to level five.
Moreover, the blessing of this entry is actually effective during resonance, directly raising the cultivation effect brought by resonance to the level of normal cultivation before. This is not an exaggeration.
In this case, unless someone is gifted, no one can cultivate faster than Yu Cang.
"Alright, enough small talk, let's start the duel." Nong Weiran's expression returned to calm. "No need for silent rounds, okay?"
"Can."
"Then let's get started!" Nong Weiran's eyes flashed, and when he raised his hand, a soul card appeared between his two fingers.
Bang!
With a wave of her hand, she slapped the Soul Card diagonally into the air in front of her. "I Summon: Kwaidan Puppet! Activate its effect. When Kwaidan Puppet is summoned, summon three 'Urban Tales'!"
Bang!
The soul card shattered, and a gray-white teddy bear doll jumped out of it and into Nong Weiran's arms. Then, three balls of cold dark blue mist condensed around her out of thin air, and a pair of eyes emitting a dim light peeked out from them and fell on Yu Cang.
interest!
For a moment, Yu Cang's thinking slowed down a little, and his movements slowed down a lot.
Yu Cang's expression did not change. Nong Weiran's start was not beyond his expectations.
Her deck is called "Kwaidan", and the core soul card is the "Kwaidan Puppet".
The panels of the Kaidan puppets are not very high, and they can even be said to break at the slightest touch, but the effect is very strong.
When it is present, each additional "Urban Tales" on the field can greatly reduce the movement speed of all beings except the Tales, and it will also accumulate a layer of "fear" for all beings at regular intervals. Fear will affect the Soul Card Master's control of the summoned beasts, and when it accumulates to a certain number of layers, it will even directly drive the summoned beasts crazy and attack indiscriminately all around!
The Kwaidan Puppet has the effect of "as long as it does not attack, it cannot be the target of long-range attacks", which makes it very difficult to deal with. As more and more "urban ghost stories" appear on the field, the layers of fear accumulate faster and faster, and the opponent will only become more and more desperate.
Of course, it also has weaknesses. The death cooldown of the Kaidan Puppet is very long. Basically, once it is dealt with, it will be difficult for it to appear a second time in the same battle.
Yu Cang's expression remained unchanged. His palm swept across the card box on his waist, and the shadows of the two soul cards shattered beside him.
"Summon two 'Gray Dragonborn' and attack immediately!"
The best way to deal with the Kaidan deck is to use a quick attack!
After all, the ghost puppets are fragile. If they are approached by summoned beasts, they will die immediately if they are touched.
Nong Weiran was not in a hurry. With a thought, two groups of urban ghosts in the air floated to the ground and stopped the gray-white dragon.
The urban legend was just smoke, and there was no way to stop the gray-white dragonborn, so Nong Weiran slapped the card box:
"Activate the Urban Tales effect. When it is attacked, it disappears and immediately selects two Tales Summoned Beasts from the deck!"
Bang!
The smoke suddenly dispersed, and two creepy figures walked out from it.
One of them was a figure dressed in white with waist-length hair, resembling a thin woman. The other was tall but equally thin, with a strange mask on his face and a long net in his bony hands.
"I choose - Kwaidan: White Clothes and Kwaidan: Dream Catcher!"
Buzz...
As the figure appeared, Yu Cang immediately felt that his control over the gray-white dragon had become much more difficult. To describe it, it was probably equivalent to a 0.5-second delay in control.
It’s the effect of white clothes!
When Bai Yi does not attack and is not attacked, the fear level of all summoned beasts in the field will increase by one. After Bai Yi starts attacking, the damage to summoned beasts with fear levels will be greatly increased!
Card decks in the Kaidan series generally have two similar states, one effect during battle and another effect when you are just watching the show.
Generally speaking, when a Kwaidan summoned beast is just watching the show, the effect is stronger than when it directly participates in the battle... This may be due to the fact that Kwaidan becomes boring once the secret is revealed.
“Huh!!”
The Dreamcatcher let out a hoarse cry from beneath his mask, and started fighting with the two gray-white dragonborns, waving his fishing rod.
The gray-white dragonborn would increase his damage when attacking any race that was not a dragon. Logically, the battle should have ended quickly, but the dream catcher swung the net pole and fought two enemies at once.
That’s exactly the effect of a dreamcatcher.
When the Dream Catcher does not attack and is not attacked, it cannot be selected as a target and is considered two urban legends. When the Dream Catcher attacks, if the target is fearful, the target's fear level will increase by one and it will not be able to voluntarily leave the battle.
The abilities of White and the Dream Catcher combined, and the fear in the two gray-white dragonborn instantly reached the second level. The control delay was a full second, and they transformed into high-frequency warriors, so they could be easily controlled by the Dream Catcher.
Moreover, it is impossible to attack the Kaidan Puppet by jumping over the Dreamcatcher.
Seeing that the battle was becoming tense, Yu Cang was not in a hurry. Even if the gray dragon had a high delay now, he could not be killed by the dream catcher alone. It was a good opportunity to recover his soul energy now.
There are four summoned beasts on the opponent's field. Although the mental pressure of Urban Ghost Story is almost negligible, the total mental pressure still exceeds that of Yu Cang.
When mental stress is high, the speed of soul energy recovery will decrease accordingly. Now is a good time for Yu Cang to establish his soul energy advantage!
Nong Weiran obviously also realized Yu Cang's intention, so he immediately changed his tactics.
The man in white, who had been floating in the air since he was summoned and scanning the entire scene with a cold gaze, suddenly appeared behind a gray-white dragon. A pair of sharp claws stretched out from his sleeves and turned into a cold light to attack the gray-white dragon!
One of the advanced techniques of the Kwaidan deck - raising your hand to attack.
As long as the pre-attack animation is hidden well enough, the two effects of the soul card can take effect at the same time at the moment of attack!
This is also a strange story: the hidden effect of the white clothes - the first sword will explode!
But Yu Cang's reaction was very quick. Before the figure in white disappeared, a soul card was played:
Sword of Judgment!
"Choose the attack method: Physical."
clang!
A pitch-black iron sword rushed out from the broken soul card shadow, and in the blink of an eye, it pierced through the body of the gray-white dragonborn.
With a slight bang, the gray-white dragonborn turned into soul card fragments and dissipated into the air. The target disappeared, and the attack of the man in white naturally fell into vain.
A black dragon scale fell to the ground, and the next second, the effect of the Sword of Judgment [Suicide] was activated, and an identical iron sword appeared in front of the dream catcher, piercing through his chest!
Swish!
The chain reaction occurred in an instant.
The man in white launched an attack, but his ability failed. The layers of fear on the gray dragonborn disappeared immediately, and the dream catcher's ability also failed. In addition, this sword had already seriously injured him, so he no longer had the ability to stop the gray dragonborn.
The gray-white dragonborn instantly passed the dream catcher and rushed straight towards Nong Weiran!
Yu Cang chuckled.
With this sword, he could actually choose to attack Bai Yi. The attack power of the Sword of Judgment was enough to kill Bai Yi instantly, but it could only severely injure the Dream Catcher.
But in this place, he chose to be a little greedy.
While that would effectively clear the field, it wouldn't expand the battle. Furthermore, the Dreamcatcher was too powerful in its full state. As long as it didn't attack, it would be like having two urban legends permanently stationed on the field. No one could handle it, and could only watch as the fear piled up layer by layer.
And now, after taking the initiative to attack, Bai Yi cannot return to the state of withdrawal from combat in a short period of time. The aura of fear has been destroyed, and his original strength is not enough to stand.
The Dreamcatcher was severely damaged. If he wanted to escape from the battle, he would have no front row. If he continued to fight, he would die at any time without the fear layer. It was equivalent to both cards being completely useless in a short period of time, but he had to provide mental pressure on the field to slow down Nong Weiran's soul energy recovery speed!
Before Bai Yi leaves the battle again, Yu Cang is in his strong period, and his chances of winning will continue to expand!
Although it would be very dangerous if we don’t clear the field, and there is a possibility of being counterattacked, but... I don’t dare to do it, what’s the point of playing soul cards!
You have to be greedy enough to gain an advantage!
Not to mention, now that the gray-white dragonborn is directly attacking, Nong Weiran must clear the field, which consumes soul energy and thus weakens the ability to counterattack!
Sure enough, Nong Weiran on the opposite side was biting his lips lightly, and he already felt something was wrong.
"This guy is still so decisive..."
In fact, after raising his hands to block the attack, there was almost no sign of the attack from the man in white. A normal person would not be able to react at all if he relied solely on his reaction!
Yu Cang's sword was a prediction!
If the Sword of Judgment was used too early, Bai Yi would not be pulled into combat. If it was used too late, the gray-white dragonborn would be killed directly.
And this sword, just...
How could a student have such a strong fighting instinct?
Nong Weiran certainly knew the tactical core of the Light and Shadow Dragon Set, so she chose to let the white-clothed creature, whose attack method was energy attack, kill the gray-white dragonborn, so that the dragon scales it dropped would be white dragon scales.
For the Kaidan deck, the threat of the Dark Dragon is higher than that of the Light Dragon!
But Yu Cang's prediction directly disrupted her plan.
Now, looking at the gray dragonborn rushing towards her, she had to react.
But... it's an opportunity. If Yu Cang didn't choose to clear the field, then her counterattack ability will be very strong, as long as... she can survive this wave!
"Not enough soul energy... Damn it."
Nong Weiran gritted his teeth, hugged the ghost doll in his arms, turned around, and used the duel shield on his back to take the attack from the gray-white dragonborn!
She is also greedy!
So I didn't choose to use the Urban Tales in the sky to clear the field, but instead sold blood to gain rhythm and wait for an opportunity to counterattack!
"Soul energy..." Just as the gray-white dragonborn was about to continue attacking, a crucial bit of soul energy finally recovered. Nong Weiran slapped out a soul card: "I activate the spell card: Dark Night Scream! Within ten seconds, all summoned beasts' fear level will increase by one. If a summoned beast is killed while in fear, an urban legend will be summoned!"
Hahahahaha!!!
The shadow of the soul card shattered, and a creepy shrill laugh spread out from it. Yu Cang felt his head sink, and the connection between him and the gray-white dragonborn fell into darkness again.
Nong Weiran rolled over and escaped from the claws of the gray-white dragon. Looking behind him, he saw the dream catcher and the man in white rushing towards him!
The situation reversed instantly!
