Chapter 450: The Road to Godhood
[This Body is Like a Demon] allows the Dragon Hunter General to change his attack method to sword energy when holding a weapon, and the attack distance will be extended every time a dragon scale is disconnected!
With one move of [This Hate Is Burning], five dragon scales were broken. The general's sword energy was already extremely powerful. With a casual swing of the sword, he could stir up a storm and violently crush everything in front of him!
The general's sword energy is not as refined as that of other swordsmen. Once it is activated, it will cause a crushing frenzy that spreads across an area, and its main purpose is to cause extreme destruction.
At this moment, the natural spirit in Wen Ren Ge's Swallowing Void Mark had lost its ability and was unable to deal with the violent power for him. Although he stood there in a daze, fortunately his intuition of crisis allowed him to react. He took several steps back and narrowly avoided the sword.
When Wen Ren Ge raised his head again, his face had turned very ugly.
On the opposite side... the Dragon Hunting General had the aura of a ghost or god. Behind him, five dragon hunting spears were quietly suspended, flashing with a chilling cold light.
Wen Renge had seen the Dragon Hunting Spear before. He knew that this weapon had a penetrating ability that was not in line with its quality, and it could also inflict Scale Plague, making it quite difficult to deal with.
"This Dragon Hunting Spear...when was it made?" Wen Ren Ge looked solemn.
This is naturally provided by [Holding the Sword for the King] when the Dragon King's Sword Servant is still in the inner state.
Whenever a Chaos Dragon Scale enters death cooldown, a disposable Dragon Hunting Spear will be summoned and controlled by Yu Cang.
Likewise, it can also be used by the Dragon Hunter General.
On the side, a white dragon slowly flew down from the sky, its dragon eyes staring at Wen Ren Ge.
"How is it?" Yu Cang asked, "Do you have any other tricks?"
Wen Renge: "...Of course."
He took a deep breath.
The nature spirits can’t process the energy for him anymore…it doesn’t matter, he can do it himself!
Soul cards can only utilize soul energy, so the contradictory energies generated by self-suppression cannot be used directly to activate soul cards.
However, the rules are not set in stone!
There's also a Soul Card that can harness this energy!
Wen Ren Ge reached out to the card box at his waist and pulled out a soul card.
No...that's not a complete soul card.
Blank soul card!
"What I'm going to summon next is—" Wen Renge showed this blank soul card to Yu Cang. On the soul card, in the blank space, something seemed to tremble suddenly, "—My true self!"
The true self is the "I" that represents the pendulum.
Directly summon the inner side of the blank soul card and you can get the true self, who represents the purest instinct of the soul card master!
After Yu Cang created the true self, he told Wen Renge how to summon it. Wen Renge was very interested in pendulum summoning, so Yu Cang would not hide it from him.
The true self only has certain abilities when it is the inner side, but looking at Wen Renge's appearance... it is obvious that this is not how he uses the true self.
"Yu Cang, the directly summoned True Self has no combat power, except in one case!" Wen Renge's eyes gradually became bloodshot, and his tone became frantic. "That is - Pendulum Summoning! Or, in other words, Pendulum Summoning using the 'Broken Bridge'!"
Buzz!
Behind Wen Ren Ge, the light of the Pendulum Bridge bloomed, but now, both the Pendulum Bridge itself and the bronze pendulum on it were covered with cracks!
"The energy in my mind will flow through this crack and be completely infused into my true self... He will become more powerful than you can imagine!"
Bang!
The blank soul card in Wenren Ge's heart shattered, and then, from the crack of the pendulum bridge behind Wenren Ge, a hand that was also covered with cracks stretched out!
The bronze pendulum couldn't swing on the broken pendulum bridge. What Wen Renge was performing was not a normal pendulum summoning at all. It looked more like his true self was being manipulated by him and forcibly squeezed out from the crack!
"Ah!"
Wen Ren Ge coughed up a mouthful of blood. He suffered unprecedented pain. He couldn't help but stagger and knelt on one knee on the ground.
Veins bulged on his forehead and bloodshot in his eyes, but he still used his willpower to forcibly control his instincts, trying to make his true self break through the cracks in the pendulum bridge and be born directly from it with all the energy!
But... Wen Ren Ge didn't seem to succeed.
It can be seen that he has used great strength, but I, Shinji, have only stretched out one hand. That hand kept struggling, as if trying to use it to widen the crack on the pendulum bridge, but... it was useless.
Seeing this, Yu Cang raised his brows slightly.
Wen Renge's actions surprised him greatly.
After a moment of silence.
"Perhaps you are on the right track."
"Hmm?" Wen Renge raised his head tremblingly, "What did you say?"
The pain took over his mind and he could hardly hear what Yu Cang said.
Yu Cang didn't mean to explain. He just shook his head and said, "Nothing... But, this move is too early for you now, so I won't give you the chance to show it."
After saying that, the Dragon Hunting General rushed out, his long sword stirred up a storm with the Dragon Hunting Spear mixed in it, and he slashed down with a powerful blow in front of him. Wen Ren Ge hurriedly dodged, but this time, the general's attack was like a storm, one wave after another, leaving Wen Ren Ge no room to dodge.
In addition, Wen Ren Ge was in a very bad condition now, so after just a few attacks, he had to interrupt the "Pendulum Summoning" process, and then his shield was broken by a sword and he was sent out of the arena.
Yu Cang watched Wen Renge's figure disappear from the field, his eyes filled with thought.
The path Wen Ren Ge is taking is becoming more and more dangerous.
However, it may not be the right way.
As for why Yu Cang came to this conclusion... it was because in his speculation, the "I" summoned in various ways very likely contained the secret to ascend to a higher realm.
Maybe you can even break through the myth with the help of a certain "I"!
Yu Cang's conclusion did not come out of thin air.
His own vision is not enough to predict the path after the myth, but by his side, there is a strongest scholar who has surpassed the myth, lah!
In particular, La has recently begun to delve into the Blue Star's soul card system... With Jieying helping him process information, La's learning speed is terrifying. For him, reading = memory = understanding, and the higher-level and more objective scholar's perspective has also given La many new understandings.
La's evaluation of the "I" created by Yu Cang and represented by these various summoning methods is that it has the potential to directly reach mythology!
Ever since humans appeared on the Blue Planet, many mythical powerhouses have appeared, but there is no clear "promotion method" that can guarantee that soul card masters will be promoted to myths 100%.
Every legend and promotion has some unique aspects that are not replicable.
This is also the reason why human civilization on Blue Star has not been around for long. Like spiritual beasts, there is a very complete promotion system. As long as there is enough talent, effort and resources, there is a clear path to promotion to myth.
The difference between the two is that there is a probability of failure in the promotion of spiritual beasts, while there is a probability of success in the promotion of humans.
Outside of Blue Star, many world systems have clear paths to becoming a god. For example, in the mage system of Roland Sky Realm, the methods of becoming a god have long been summarized and categorized, and various paths have been verified countless times.
The Soul Card Master system on Blue Star does not yet have such a stable path... This is also a reflection of the system's immaturity.
However, La asserted that the stable path to becoming a god is likely hidden among those "I"s!
The six kinds of "I" represent six ways to become a legend!
Of course, La has only been studying this for a short time, so he cannot be 100% sure. Yu Cang cannot see the way forward either because his vision is still limited, but he has a hunch that this should be feasible.
If the path to becoming a god can be determined... then there is no doubt that the number of myths on Blue Star will experience a surge.
I don’t know how many powerful guardians of a nation are stuck in bottlenecks and unable to become gods.
This is also why Yu Cang was so confident about breaking the myth when facing Di Chang'an - he had indeed seen the way, although the end was still vague.
Ren Zheng also knew about this, but the old man was also confused about it. The six types were still too abstract. Even if he was a person standing at the top of the country, he could not make any definite breakthroughs based on such a vague guess.
Therefore, Yu Cang felt a little surprised when he saw Wen Ren Ge trying to summon his true self in this "cult" way.
Although Wen Renge's summoning was almost impossible to succeed, setting his sights on the true self and starting to think about how to change the state of the true self was already the first step towards a breakthrough.
Even Yu Cang himself can only wait to be taken away for research.
However, no matter what, although Wen Ren Ge may be on the right path, he is still too weak at the moment, and he himself may not be aware of the possibilities hidden in his true self, so... I should find him and explain it clearly later.
If you casually research powers that are too advanced, you will really die.
Thinking of this, Yu Cang turned around and left the arena.
…
In the void
Wen Ren Ge appeared here, staring at the darkness in front of him, lost in thought.
Just like that... lost?
Oh.
He gave a wry smile.
The gap between me and Yu Cang is really getting bigger and bigger.
At the beginning, he could still fight with Yu Cang for a few moves, but now, he really couldn't see the possibility of winning.
No...perhaps from the very beginning, this possibility did not exist.
He sighed, raised his hand and rubbed his head.
If I summon my true self in the end...will I win?
not necessarily.
He had only thought of that summoning method in theory, but it had never worked once. He just intuitively felt that it should be very powerful.
But in front of Yu Cang, nothing can be called strong.
He felt a little helpless.
I thought Yu Cang set up two inner sides at the beginning to hide the true use of the Pendulum Summoning from him.
As a result, you never used the Pendulum from beginning to end!
So it was a demonstration of "ritual summoning".
Well, you have many summoning methods, you are awesome, we can’t compare with you.
Shaking his head, Wen Renge left this strange space.
…
Backstage
A staff member looked at Shen Pan, his brows slightly raised: "Are you saying that there is something wrong with that Wu Chen?"
"That's right, please believe me!" Pan Shen said seriously, "The next match is Wu Chen's. I suggest suspending the match and resuming it after a thorough investigation!"
"...There's no precedent for this in the national league." The staff member frowned slightly. "Also, classmate, you might not know that there are ten national guardians on the scene alone. This is a national broadcast, and we can't let any accidents happen here. So even if Wu Chen wants to do something, it won't be a problem."
“…”
"Well, if the college league is suspended for even one minute, the money lost will be astronomical. Neither you nor I can afford it."
"I can afford it." Shen Pan said solemnly, "The Shen family of Magic City will be responsible for any suspension and any financial losses."
Hearing this, the staff couldn't help but stand in awe.
I am Chao, a rich man!
This nationwide live broadcast will result in losses of hundreds of millions if it stops for a few seconds.
You are just like this... the Shen family in the Magic City, then it’s okay.
The Magic City was originally one of the commercial centers of Yan Country. As the most prominent family in the Magic City, the Shen family could not be poor.
Shen Pan looked serious.
The more he thought about it, the more something seemed wrong.
It would be fine if there were only those strange spirits, but he also knew that the security of the college league was extremely strict and the probability of something happening here was almost zero.
With so many guardians of the country, how could Wu Chen, a level five warrior, still cause trouble?
What's more, the sponsors of the college league are almost all from the imperial capital families. His Shen family has been eyeing this piece of fat meat for a long time, but for some things, money alone is useless.
If something really happened, maybe his Shen family could take this opportunity to intervene in the chaos - although Shen Pan was young, as the young master of the Shen family, he still had to make the necessary considerations.
So he was not worried that the association would not be able to react, he just reminded Duan Feng as a friend.
But after returning, Wu Chen's last words made him very uneasy.
What does "you can tell others" mean? Why does Wu Chen first need to confirm whether he can see the spirit before he starts to explode?
Could it be that Wu Chen was being manipulated by some entity at the time and couldn't say it openly, so he hinted in this way?
Plus, he remembered... when Wu Chen first met Yu Cang, he was obviously very respectful, but he was very rude to ask Yu Cang to "withdraw from the competition". This was very contradictory!
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Wu Chen's behavior over the past few days seemed more and more strange to him.
Something is wrong, very wrong!
Wu Chen must also be aware of the security level of the college league. He knew this but still went to great lengths to make these hints. The crisis behind this might be really not simple!
When Yu Cang and Wen Renge were fighting, Shen Pan had been weighing the pros and cons, and finally, he made a decision.
That's why I came here.
"Then why are you looking for me?" The staff member spread his hands. "Although I am the director of the college league, I can't make this decision... You have to speak to my superiors."
"who?"
"Ye Chengming."
“…”
…
auditorium
"Myth." Ye Chengming put down the terminal and whispered to Di Changan, "A descendant of the Shen family seems to have discovered something."
"I heard that." Di Chang'an propped up his chin with one hand, a smile in his eyes, "There are quite a few good talents among these young people."
"That……"
"Don't worry, I'm watching."
"...Okay." Ye Chengming nodded.
"Chengming, why don't you ask me what I discovered?"
Ye Chengming's expression remained unchanged: "I should know what I should know without asking."
"Tsk, kid, you're always like this." Di Chang'an smiled and shook his head, explaining, "It's some idiots who have lived too long... who want to contaminate me through my blood."
"Hmm?" Ye Chengming's expression changed after he said this. "Is it directed at you? ... Then I'll suspend the game..."
Emperor Chang'an is too important, no mistakes can be made!
However, Di Changan still waved his hand: "Don't worry about it - if I'm still asleep, they might indeed be able to figure it out without knowing it, but now that I'm awake, those old guys are just clowns."
Ye Chengming: “…”
