Chapter 362: Two Geniuses Ask for Advice
On the surface, Yin Yang used this banner to define the matter and prevent Yu Cang from being affected.
In fact, the real purpose was to give Yu Cang a condition that made it impossible for him to refuse the banner.
The banner says "Young Hero of Mudu". As long as you accept it and hang it at home, no matter what, when you see these words, you will definitely feel more psychologically identified with Mudu.
In the future, no matter what cooperation Mu has to discuss with Yu Cang, he will definitely get more emotional approval from Yu Cang.
Yin Yang is looking at Cang's future.
After carefully examining the banner, Wang Zhiwo stood up and put it away.
No matter what, I feel a little guilty for destroying someone else's secret realm. I'll take care of it when I have the chance in the future.
"Um... Boss." Gu Jieshuang said weakly, "Did I hear something I shouldn't have heard..."
It seemed that no matter what Cheng Mingye, Yin Yang, or Yu Cang said, it was not something that an "outsider" like her could listen to...
But these two people didn't give her a chance to avoid it!
Yin Yang said such important things in a casual manner, and Cheng Mingye locked the space as soon as he entered the door, not giving her any chance to escape!
"Of course it's okay." Yu Cang shook his head, "You are one of us."
"Ah...hehe, okay." Gu Jieshuang stuck out her tongue.
"I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly... I thought I'd have some time to think it over."
Wang Zhiwo opened the fruit basket on the table, took out two apples, and threw them to Gu Jieshuang and Qier.
"This fruit should be quite sweet, but unfortunately, I, Wang Zhi, don't have the ability to eat." Yu Cang sighed. "By the way, Qi'er, now that the mirage dragon has merged with you, do you feel that you have gained any additional abilities now?"
"ability?"
The girl held the red fruit in both hands. Upon hearing this, she frowned and looked at it carefully for a moment.
"Hmm... Qi'er doesn't know."
"Then don't think about it for now." Wang Zhi patted the girl's head, "We can discuss these issues after we go to the treatment center."
When the girl heard the word "treatment center", she pouted obviously. It was obvious that she didn't have a good impression of this place.
But he didn't say anything, just nodded and agreed.
She knew that this was something she had to do, otherwise it would be bad for everyone.
Seeing Qi'er agree, Yu Cang didn't think much about it.
The girl's new ability must be related to illusion. For him, it is just icing on the cake. At least for now, it has no significant effect.
Illusions are very complex. The strong ones can be very powerful, but the weak ones will have no sense of existence at all.
If Qi'er's new abilities are to be used in battle, they will definitely take a long time to grow.

Chao Ci suddenly said, "Yu Cang."
"What's wrong?"
"Why did you ask me to tell them that I killed the Mirage Dragon?" Chao Ci stared at Yu Cang.
"Uh..." Yu Cang looked away, "That..."
His original intention was naturally to cover up his card-banning method, but now thinking about it in his mind... it seems to be of no use.
Let’s not talk about Cheng Mingye, let’s just talk about Yin Yang and Hu Yanzhan. Even if they don’t know about the banned cards, they can still find clues as long as they investigate more on the scene.
Chao Ci's statement is actually totally untenable.
But when the mirage Mu Yuan was just broken, he was about to faint, so how could he have time to think so much? He just noticed that there was a hidden danger here, so he told Chao Ci directly.
Now, I don’t know how to explain it.
"So, you made me tell a lie that was destined to be exposed?" Chao Ci's eyes had become dangerous.
She is the Creator!
When she first heard Yu Cang's request, she felt it was unreliable, but Yu Cang fainted after he said it, and she didn't have time to ask why.
Considering that Yu Cang might have some deeper considerations, Chao Ci finally decided - forget it, just listen to him.
Therefore, facing the questioning from Hu Yanzhan and Yin Yang last night, even though she was very disdainful of lying in her heart, she still obediently remained stubborn.
As it turned out, Yu Cang hadn't thought that much at all!
hateful!
She was actually asked to do such lies as the Creator!
That’s too much!
Yu Cang looked away guiltily, and Gu Jieshuang scratched his head, not knowing how to persuade him.
Qi'er stared with his eyes wide open, silently chewing an apple beside him.
Just when Chao Ci was getting more and more angry.
Suddenly, Ye Lai's voice with a smile came from the side.
"My dear Lord, Chao Ci is actually just angry that you didn't give her the apple just now."
"Nonsense!" Chao Ci was furious.
"Blame me!" Yu Cang suddenly realized.
He remembered that when he was in Mirage Muyuan, he promised to make noodles for Chao Ci.
Now that I’ve forgotten, I’ll be angry!
Oh, this is easy.
It happened to be a few days during the winter vacation, and he had made a considerable breakthrough in his spiritual technology, reaching the pinnacle in food simulation. Now, there were quite a lot of foods with perfect taste proportions!
Moreover, Lingzi is still quite abundant now. Although it is far from the point of squandering it at will, it is still okay to eat something occasionally!
Immediately, he took out a soul card and called Gu Jieshuang to help activate it. With a slight "bang" sound, a bowl of steaming braised beef noodles was placed in front of Chao Ci.
Chao Ci's nose twitched slightly, but the expression on his face became even more annoyed: "How could I be angry for such a ridiculous reason! Yu Cang, don't listen to Ye Lai's nonsense!"
"Don't worry, there's more!"
Yu Cang took out several soul cards and asked Gu Jieshuang to activate them one by one. Suddenly, a row of fruits appeared on the windowsill, including plump and bright red apples and cherries, juicy pineapples and papayas... The rich fruity aroma spread immediately, and Qi'er, who was chewing a real apple next to him, couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
This, this...it seems that the Cyber Apple looks more delicious!
The corner of Chao Ci's mouth twitched, and he gasped: "Yu Cang, I've already said it, it's impossible for me to..."
"There's more and more!" Yu Cang continued to take things out of his arms.
"Stop!" Chao Ci hurriedly called out, "Stop taking it out...that's enough."
Yu Cang blinked: "What do you mean by enough?"
"...I've eaten enough! Alright!" Chao Ci turned around and glared at Ye Lai fiercely, "Hmph... Yu Cang, I'll get angry with you after I finish eating."
Yu Cang couldn't help but laugh: "Okay~ You eat first."
Behind them, Ye Lai just looked at the few people with a smile in his eyes.
"Come to think of it..." Chao Ci lowered his head and said casually, "In the previous battle, I could already see the shadow of the Emperor Star."
The smile on Yu Cang's face faded slightly: "You mean..."
"You should know."
Yu Cang was silent for a moment.
It seems so.
He used the summoned beasts that the emperor had plundered all over the field to summon Chao Ci, and after Chao Ci finished his attack, he decisively sacrificed him and took out the Ghost Dragon. Even when using [Pull's Punishment], he just took out what he could use. During the battle, he was like an emperor.
Whether it is an enemy or a teammate, they must become my fighting tools and my strength!
This is how the Emperor Star fights!
Yu Cang: "...You don't like this, do you?"
"Not really." Chao Ci didn't look up. "I can see that your hearts are different—at least not yet."
"I understand." Yu Cang took a deep breath.
Ever since he learned about the existence of the Emperor Star, he feels nervous whenever he uses these powers, fearing that he will be affected by them.
At this time, there was another knock on the door.
Yu Cang was stunned. Is there anyone else?
He turned his head and saw that Chao Ci had raised his head the moment the knock on the door sounded, and looked out the window, as if he was not familiar with the food in front of him at all.
Yu Cang smiled and shook his head.
"It should be Teacher Qin and the others... It's just right, I'm going out for a walk, it's so stuffy in the house."
Immediately, Wang Zhiwo stood up and walked out of the house.
"Boss, I'm going too!" Gu Jieshuang threw away the fruit core in his hand and followed behind.
…
Yu Cang closed the door.
"...Hmph." Chao Ci snorted lightly.
…
Outside the door, almost all the people from the two combat societies were here.
"Yu Cang? You recovered so quickly?" Meng Ran widened his eyes.
"No, I'm still lying in the room." Wang Zhiwo said something extraordinary casually.
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the CPUs of several people present suddenly short-circuited. They looked at Yu Cang, then looked at the closed door behind them, and their brains went into a daze.
"...This is the King's self, right?" Qin Yueran said at this time, "It seems more convenient than I imagined."
"Wait, Teacher, are you saying that this Yu Cang in front of us is a summoned beast?"
"Yes." Wang Zhiwo nodded, "I'm fine, but are you guys injured?"
"We are all safe." Lu Zihe grinned. "Yu Cang, I heard everything about this incident. It was you who saved us... Now I owe you a big debt. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me!"
Yu Cang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Look at this.
Everyone was involved and witnessed everything that happened in the Mirage Realm Muyuan with their own eyes. The only thing others might not have seen was the final step where Yu Cang killed the Mirage Dragon.
As for Lü Zihe, as one of the parties involved, he had to rely on "hearsay" to know what happened in the Mirage Realm.
This is a bit of good luck.
"There's no need to say these words." Yu Cang waved his hand, interrupting everyone who was still trying to express their gratitude. "By the way, where's President Wenren? Why don't I see him?"
"President Wenren is quite exhausted," Wang Chu said. "He's having trouble getting out of bed right now... but he said he'll definitely come see you in person later!"
"Well... then I'll go find him." Yu Cang smiled. "That's perfect. I have something to talk to him about."
…
Knowing that Yu Cang was fine, everyone dispersed.
It was almost noon, and everyone didn't have much time to stay in Mudu this time, so they all dispersed and did what they wanted.
They all came here with their own "families", so they couldn't just leave their friends aside.
Yu Cang knocked on the door of Wen Renge's room.
"Come in."
The door opened, and Wen Renge saw that the person coming was Yu Cang, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"You...oh, it's the King I, right?"
Just after the winter vacation, Wen Renge was hit hard by Wang Zhiwo during the duel with Yu Cang, so I knew of its existence.
"Yeah." Yu Cang nodded, then sat on the chair next to Wen Renge's bed. "How are your injuries? I came to see you."
“…”
Wen Ren Ge opened his mouth, but suddenly stopped.
After a while, he seemed to sigh and put on his signature smile: "Yu Cang... I can't catch up with you at all."
"What's wrong?"
"Look, you don't even deny it!"
"Haha..." Yu Cang laughed dryly twice.
On the side, Gu Jieshuang leaned against the window and couldn't help but smile when she heard this.
Wen Renge shook his head and rubbed his head with a slight headache: "My instinct tells me that my chances of winning against you are almost zero... This time, my instinct is indeed correct."
"President Wenren, why are you still resisting trusting your intuition?"
"How should I put it... there's a very stupid story."
"you say."
"To put it simply... when I was a child, I encountered danger with a very important person. He saved me, but I... because of my physical and instinctive fear, I chose to flee without looking back. In fact, if I had turned back and helped him..."
Wen Renge's eyes dimmed a lot, and seeing this, Yu Cang's smile couldn't help but fade.
He was silent for a while, then reached out and gently patted Wen Renge's shoulder: "Alas...my condolences."
"Hmm?" Wen Renge raised his head, his eyes strange, "What's the condolence?"
"Um... didn't you mean..."
"You think too much, he's not dead."
Yu Cang: "..."
"But because of this incident, I lost an arm... So, it wasn't really a danger at all. If I had turned back, perhaps the outcome would have been different." Wen Renge sighed, "After that... I became particularly disgusted with this instinct that was beyond my control."
"So that's how it is." Yu Cang nodded, "But have you ever thought about this?"
"What?"
"Instinct is not your opposite." Yu Cang looked into Wen Renge's eyes. "It's just another manifestation of your 'talent'. Every bit of talent you hone to perfection will make your instinct more precise and more powerful."
Wen Renge: "..."
"When you were little, your instincts were indeed filled with too many unknowns and uncertainties, but now, you are no longer the same person you used to be. Think about it, when you faced those Liu Yu Huan Zhi yesterday, you were in a state of unity.
"President Wenren, a flawed self will never be able to reach true strength. Only by accepting every side of yourself can you reach the pinnacle of power."
Wen Ren Ge took a deep breath.
He looked at Yu Cang: "Are you like this too?"
"What's the meaning?"
"From all the battles I've seen you fight, I've only noticed your talents... What's your instinct? Are you also strong because of him?"
"……I have no idea."
"have no idea?"
"Because I have never divided myself." Yu Cang smiled, "I am strong because of myself."
"...Okay." Wen Renge sighed and suddenly said, "Yu Cang, how about teaching me how to fight?"
"Hmm? I'll teach you?" Yu Cang looked strange.
"Well, just teach me something," he said. "I think I understand."
Yu Cang was a little confused and didn't know what Wen Ren Ge understood.
But he nodded: "I will help you."
"Thank you." Wen Renge smiled, "And thank you for saving me."
…
There are quite a lot of fighting skills in Wenren Singer, and things like joint seal summoning and self-suppression breakthrough are things that Yu Cang does not know.
Perhaps all Yu Cang could teach him was the techniques of fusion and synchronization.
There is nothing to hide about these skills, he can teach them, but whether he can learn them or not depends on himself.
Returned to his room.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Chao Ci had finished eating all the spiritual food and was taking a nap on my chest.
With a slight smile, Yu Cang did not disturb him and sat back in his chair.
When his original body was unconscious, he needed to rely on IV drips to replenish his energy. So now, Gu Jieshuang has gone to eat by herself.
Qi'er lay down on the other bed. While waiting for Gu Jieshuang to come back with food, he was already drowsy and the room had become quiet.
"Stardust, are you there?"
Crash...
A soul card flew out, and the spirit particles in it spread out, forming the appearance of the princess.
"You finally found me." Xingchen said.
"Um...I want to ask some questions."
"That's the demon, right?" Stardust landed in front of Wang Zhiwo. "I was just about to tell you—that demon is actually the stowaway I mentioned to you earlier in the ruins of the Divine Capital."
Yu Cang nodded.
He remembered it very clearly... After all, it was he who was mistaken for a stowaway that led to the subsequent series of events.
"Remember what I told you? The Empire has prepared a ritual that will ensure that when the Emperor Star appears, it will choose you as the 'Chosen One'."
"Of course I remember." Yu Cang said, "But you said that was just a safety net. In fact, even if the ceremony was not carried out, your brother would have a high probability of being chosen by the Emperor Star."
"That's right, but the people don't think so. The empire's territory is too vast, and it nominally governs all civilizations in the star realm. Obviously, with such a vast territory, it's impossible for everyone to recognize my brother."
Yu Cang's eyes narrowed slightly: "Indeed. After all, in the war against Huang, becoming the Chosen One of the Emperor Star may be the only safe path."
Just think about it, the wilderness has infected the star realm, and anyone who touches it will die. Any protective measures are almost ineffective. Only the Emperor Star can guarantee safety... Originally, when the Emperor Star was born, a candidate would be randomly chosen from the entire star realm, but your empire plans to use a ceremony to directly control the Emperor Star in the hands of the royal family. Who would be happy with this?
This is the only thing that can guarantee safety!
Moreover, after becoming the chosen one, you can retire and find a place to live your own life, or you can save the world from doomsday and fight off the oncoming wasteland.
What does this mean? If you can finally defeat the famine, you can even build an empire yourself!
It can not only ensure your own safety, but also bring you fame and fortune, and give you powerful strength. Anyone who comes will be tempted.
Stardust: "That's right. So during that time, even the Empire couldn't suppress the widespread rebellion. Fortunately, the Empire had long ruled the starry sky and had always been wise, so most people were willing to trust the Empire. Few would gamble that if the Emperor Star's choice was an outsider, he would be a cruel and merciless individual.
"But when the Empire received word of the Emperor Star's fall, the entire starry sky... was thrown into chaos. Many believed that fate had forsaken the Empire, so they simply ignored the Empire's ban and searched everywhere for the Emperor Star's 'corpse,' attempting to seize its power."
Yu Cang understood: "So that demon is one of them?"
"Yes. He's from the Bartonora Demon Clan. After the fall of the Imperial Star, this race rebelled and ventured deep into the starry sky, searching for traces of the Imperial Star. By then, the Empire was already overwhelmed by the gradually spreading wilderness, and was powerless to deal with the rebellion, so they could only let it go."
"But..." Yu Cang pondered for a moment, "I heard from Chao Ci that in the starry sky, anyone who actively searches for it will never find the Blue Star. So how did the demon find it?"
"Who knows?" Xingchen shook his head. "Chao Ci is protected by the laws, but over countless years, any secret technique could have emerged. The Empire was able to use astrology to find Emperor Xing's corpse, so it's hard to say whether others will obtain similar secret techniques."
“…That’s right.”
After all, no one knows that the Emperor Star fell on Blue Star, and it cannot be found on Blue Star. So why don’t I just look for the Emperor Star instead of Blue Star?
"But Yu Cang, you don't have to worry." Xingchen said, "Based on my observations over time, not many people have found Blue Star. Otherwise, Blue Star civilization would definitely not be like this now."
"Hmm..." Yu Cang scratched his head. "Then, what should we do with this demon? According to what you said, such stowaways will dilute the power of the Emperor Star?"
"Yes—but it's not so bad. Now it seems that a large part of the reason you were able to resist Huang was because of the soul energy well, but the moment the demon came in, it shattered the carrier's soul energy well... At least he himself can't pose any danger."
"you mean……"
"What we need to guard against is the Bartonora demon clan behind him. That demon's entry into Blue Star is only the first step. If they truly want to seize Blue Star's fortune, they must ensure that the newborns of their clan are raised directly on Blue Star."
Yu Cang frowned: "What should I do?"
"The demon's presence here is like leaving a coordinate. It's probably too late to wipe it out now... However, the Bartonora demons aren't very close to Blue Star. Even if they're a race that's very skilled at space travel, it would still take at least a year to get here.
"Although the Bartonora Demon Clan has never surpassed mythology, they possess many myths, definitely more than Blue Star. Their large-scale invasion will make it difficult for Blue Star to resist... Therefore, Yu Cang, within a year, the Star Armory must be activated. Only war celestial bodies can resist their invasion!"
Yu Cang rubbed his fingers for a while before nodding seriously.
"I see—I'll keep this in mind."
He has been studying the Spirit Flow for some time, but since he was starting from scratch, his progress was not as fast as he had imagined.
According to the princess's description, a large number of spirit particles are needed to open the Star Armory... We must speed up.
The appearance of the devil made Yu Cang feel even more threatened.
The princess said that at least in a year, the demons of Bartonora will invade, but who knows how many coordinates like demons there are on this planet?
What if some civilization discovered the Blue Planet a long time ago and is about to arrive?
Yu Cang fell silent.
Suddenly, there was another knock on the door.
He was stunned. Who else would come to see him?
"Come in."
The door opened and Zhao Yang's figure was standing outside.
"Yu Cang, I'm here to see you." Zhao Yang said.
"I'm fine. I'm fine."
"I heard from the teacher that you dealt with that super-level legendary mirage dragon?"
"It's just good luck."
"Yu Cang, I went to the scene." Zhao Yang's eyes were very strange. "Although the wound on the mirage dragon's body was exaggerated and had your aura, it was not fatal... Did you kill the dragon using the card maker's method?"
"I guess so."
"..." Zhao Yang couldn't help but clench his hands in his pockets.
This answer was too much for him to believe.
To be honest, he would rather believe that Yu Cang really made some bug-level soul card in the past, and took it out and chopped the mirage dragon with a knife. That way he would feel more comfortable with it.
But now, through the means of a card maker, the consciousness of a super-level legendary desolate beast that clearly had the will to struggle was crushed... Yes, this was indeed knowledge about card banning, something he had never understood before, but card banning also had to adhere to basic laws! It was impossible to make a weak being strong out of thin air!
Yu Cang had done something so shocking that the excuse of "I've never learned the banned cards" could no longer comfort Zhao Yang.
In an instant, Zhao Yang stood in front of Yu Cang again. Looking at his harmless smile, he felt that an endless shadow had completely enveloped him... Yu Cang seemed to have turned into a mountain. He racked his brains but could not think of any possibility of him being able to cross the mountain.
That kind of thing is impossible no matter how hard you think about it.
He could accept that Yu Cang had created high-level and super-level legends at this age, and even touched the threshold of myth, because he himself had created legends when he was younger. If he had not wasted these five years, and if he had been given some adventures, he could still stand at Yu Cang's height!
He is confident in his talent!
However, killing a mad super-level legend directly in the card-making process was completely beyond his imagination.
You know, Yu Cang himself is only a fifth-level soul card master!
It is precisely because Zhao Yang is also a genius that he can feel the huge gap between them.
In just a few days, he had been shocked by Yu Cang twice. It could be said that he had never in his entire life felt this way about a person of the same age... a feeling of distance and even fear?
"Yu Cang." Zhao Yang's lips turned pale. "Can I ask you for a favor?"
"you say."
"Come to my lab later." Zhao Yang took a deep breath. "I once created a prototype of a summoning method... You should know this."
"Yeah, it's wonderful."
"My research has been stagnant for five years, and during that time no one has been able to add even a little to my achievements... Come on, try."
Zhao Yang looked at Yu Cang.
In fact, he himself couldn't do it. At least he hadn't thought about it yet.
But, this was his former pride - the only pride he had left in front of Yu Cang.
He admitted that Yu Cang seemed like an unreachable mountain, but he would not admit defeat until Yu Cang truly defeated him in the field he was good at.
Come, give it a try... and perfect my work!
