Elemental Card King.

Chapter 205 Contract Nine Cards, Dressage

A dazzling array of ice-based weapons floated in the air above the arena.

next moment.

As if by magic, an ice sword slowly curved, its tip and blade seemingly drawn by an invisible force, gradually expanding into a smooth arc.

The ice crystal structure reorganized in the air, the originally sharp edges became smooth, and finally, the ice sword completely transformed into a sturdy shield.

In a moment.

hum!
The physical shield transformed into an ice-blue elemental shield that filled Su Chen's entire body.

"good."

Su Chen sighed inwardly.

"It seems that all contract card effects can be transformed by elemental transformations," Teacher He Yun exclaimed from the sidelines.

"Not necessarily," Su Chen replied.

For now.

Weapon card.

Spell cards.

It can indeed be kneaded and deformed at will.

In principle.
Xiao Ling can also undergo certain transformations, but Su Chen thought that there was no need to tamper with Xiao Ling's true spirit body. When the little guy switches to elemental form, it is itself a formless chaotic state.

In addition, effect cards aren't very effective either.

However, the elemental creatures summoned from the Elemental Summoning Card can be kneaded and squeezed at will.

However, it cannot provide the same enhancement effect as element fusion.

It is not meaningful.

Regardless, the elemental transformation effect did indeed cause Su Chen's fighting style to explode, becoming dazzling, ever-changing, and infinitely transforming, leaving no room for others to guess his next move.

"What am I supposed to do with this?"

At this moment, Cao Zheng completely gave up. He held onto the two Dragon Leap Secret Techniques, but dared not use them.

Moving forward is not an option, nor is retreating.

He shook his head and said, "Please find someone else. I'd better just wash up and go to sleep. I can't fight at all, I can only be easily defeated by Captain Su."

Everyone present is well aware of this.

The mind is the master of the body.

As the old proverb says, the mind reflects the true self, and the spirit infuses the body.

The most obvious sign of a significant leap in one's spiritual level and will is a complete transformation in one's understanding of the world.

The most obvious manifestation is that newly promoted advanced card masters will have more remarkable spiritual perception, and will be more able to capture subtle energy fluctuations. Whether it is a rustling of grass in the distance or a hidden clue nearby, it will be difficult to escape their perception.

Furthermore, an individual's neural responses, dynamic vision, and even physical vitality and stamina are all comprehensively enhanced.

If it were a Western cowboy duel, with both sides facing each other and activating their cards at the same time, usually, the intermediate card player would be killed by the opponent's high-cost card player before they even had a chance to use their cards.

"A higher level of understanding doesn't necessarily crush a person."

Yao Yi sighed, "And Su Chen is truly the number one intermediate card master in Xuanhuang Kingdom. After his promotion, he is indeed not to be underestimated."

This is considered an official endorsement.

While everyone was deep in thought, Yao Yi continued, "It's not good for everyone to go outside and crowd around to watch."

After the leader spoke, the teachers who had come to join in the fun could no longer linger after witnessing the effects of element deformation.

quickly
With Cao Zheng and Qi Jinglong gone, only Su Chen and Xiao Ling, the main pets, remained in the training room.

The test subject was suddenly changed to a training robot.

"Constantly five-star purple energy."

"Difficulty level is set to Hard mode."

As soon as the command was given, the deep blue, water-powered robotic puppet's eyes immediately glowed red.

This test lasted for half an hour.

After the event, He Yun, who had heard the news from the sidelines, immediately rushed over and said with a smile, "You're not worried about your Contract Nine Card, but we are!"

The Advanced Card Master still has four contract slots.

After being promoted, card masters can bind their ninth contract card in their lifetime.

Su Chen had some general goals and objectives for his future deck planning.

of course.

Even those without a career plan can find ready-made monster decks, elemental decks, and more by logging into the Card Time website.

Alternatively, you can use strategy websites to input your personal talents and current contract cards with one click, and the AI ​​model will generate subsequent cards for you.

To Su Chen's surprise, his next nine-card contract plan might deviate from the original plan.

Because he already knew that the Xuanhuang Kingdom General Association was going to increase its support for him, he would face another choice regarding a secret card.

"This can be considered as demonstrating the value of united front work," said Professor Wu Zhongming with a smile after arriving.

In his view, if Su Chen hadn't performed brilliantly in the first round of the qualifiers, he certainly wouldn't have received such exaggerated attention.

The "group of death" actually helped us a lot.

A short while later, after confirming with the rear, they turned into a conference room hall filled with Baroque style.

"coming."

Senior researcher Duan Lianqing immediately stood up, a smile appearing on her intellectual and gentle face.

Opposite him, two logistics staff members from the General Association who had rushed over overnight also stood up, their eyes filled with curiosity as they looked at the boy who was receiving special attention from the association.

"My name is Lin Chen, and I am an administrator in the Resource and Logistics Department of the General Association."

"Dong Song is also an administrator in the Resource and Logistics Department."

"Chairman Yao and Deputy Group Leader Lin care about you very much, so they specially ordered the two of us to come to the water city of Florence overnight from Beijing."

This point needs to be fully explained: although the leader did not want to personally take charge, the credit was still awarded.

In this regard.

Su Chen knew what was going on.

After a brief self-introduction, the two middle-aged men, who hadn't slept all night, glanced at each other and, without much small talk, got straight to the point.

"You can choose a secret card now."

The manager, surnamed Lin, dressed in a suit and tie, had already unlocked the sealed briefcases on the table one by one.

Duan Lianqing asked curiously, "By the way, you should have brought a five-star secret card this time, right?"

"Yes, the president emphasized it, but I only brought one," said the administrator surnamed Lin.

Generally speaking, advanced card players still use four-star cards in the early and mid-game.

However, considering that Su Chen had received the inheritance of the Divine Dragon and that his soul's capacity limit was extraordinary, Vice President Yao Yi suggested that he could directly challenge and try to bind a five-star card in advance.

"By the way, we only brought three Secret Cards this time." Another administrator surnamed Dong explained in advance, "By the way, the world situation has changed drastically. Under the wartime system, everyone is eyeing the Secret Cards in the General Association's warehouse, but the annual production is limited, with many only producing two per year. So the ones we brought this time are quite rare."

This prior "layering of armor" is also necessary.

This isn't a lack of attention; it's simply that there are far more monks than porridge.

"I understand." Su Chen was fully aware of the situation and didn't harbor any resentment.

Teacher He Yun, who was standing to the side, was shocked after hearing this. There were still quite a few elemental secret cards to choose from in the national competition, but she did not expect that the options would be narrowed down so much after two months.

It seems that those above are truly displaying their unique abilities, like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea.

"Thanks for understanding."

After confirming that the other party's expression was normal, the two logistics administrators entered their respective password segments before they were able to fully unlock the heavily guarded briefcase.

There are three in total.

Four-star summon card 'Heavenly Fox'.

Four-star equipment card 'Spellbook'.

And
Five-star summon card 'Ice Phoenix'.

"Ah, all the famous Five Sacred Beasts of the East cards are sold out."

Teacher Wu Zhongming said with a hint of regret that after learning about Su Chen's awakened elemental deformation properties, he had been hoping that Su Chen could try it out.

It's worth mentioning that Qi Jinglong, the Fantasy Fusionist, currently possesses both 'Black Tortoise' and 'Azure Dragon' from the Five Sacred Beasts of the East deck.

Regarding one's own first-sequence talent, the opponent's future deck will definitely contain three other cards from the same series of Five Sacred Beasts Secret Cards.

This is the confidence that comes with being a direct descendant of the Tianfu Qi family.

but
Teacher Wu did not participate in the national competition, so naturally he was unaware that Su Chen had previously rejected the Five Sacred Beasts Card.

"The Slime King and the Magic Fairy are both gone." Duan Lianqing pondered for a moment, guessing that the card had been picked by someone else some time ago.

It's a pity.

The former is a variant skin version, which comes with two arcane effects. In addition to gene cloning, it also has learned rare skills such as advanced mimicry, flesh and blood absorption, and attribute theft.

A small structure is completely included.

Considering its multi-elemental attributes and the enhancements brought by elemental transformation, this versatile slime can definitely serve as a backup second core summon.

And magic fairies are not bad either.

If we say that the elemental demon race is a life form that was born unexpectedly from the elements of heaven and earth.

Magic fairies, on the other hand, are a race of monsters with an extremely high affinity for elements.

The two have a certain synergistic effect.

"It's a pity, they're all gone." Duan Lianqing said with some regret.

After all, the Xuanhuang Kingdom Card Masters Association is not only responsible for the national middle school practical competition, but also undertakes many talent selection matters in addition to assisting in organizing the national college student exchange competition.

With a large temple and many bodhisattvas, she was well aware that the association had a very complex web of relationships both inside and outside.

In particular, the demon realm will inevitably face a major clash. To put it mildly, if we consider it as ten years from now, it will be the golden age for this generation of young people. Naturally, some powerful families will start thinking about how to secure resources for their descendants.

Having an extra secret card means having an extra layer of survival security.

In this regard.

In order to successfully complete the task assigned by the top leader, the two logistics administrators took it upon themselves to bring some extra cards.

"There are also six limited cards, most of them are four-star, just for your reference."

Dong Song patted his waist and pulled out a brand new cardholder from his waist pouch.

“Generally speaking, our association’s logistics department will focus on acquiring some of the limited-edition cards issued by companies, not only for research purposes but also to enrich our own inventory,” he explained.

Teacher Wu Zhongming smiled inwardly, thinking to himself that it might be the Card Research and Development Department trying to reverse engineer other people's cards.

Compared to secret cards, the security of these limited-edition cards is naturally simpler.

The card surface is only covered by a single layer of plastic film, so it is still easy for everyone to handle.

"There's this [Dressage] piece."

After taking it over, Duan Lianqing sighed slightly. This was a support card for the Demon Spirit Master deck.

"This card is almost out of print now because one of its raw materials is related to the Spirit Rhyme Dimension. Its market value is skyrocketing, and it's basically the kind of card that's available but not sold," Dong Song emphasized.

Upon hearing this, Teacher He Yun was surprised to find that the card was related to the Lingyun Plane.

Hear the words.

Su Chen suddenly became curious. If his memory served him right, this was a card that would grant all magical units a 200% increase in movement speed and attack speed for seven seconds, during which time the cooldown of all skills would be reset to zero indefinitely.

In other words, within seven seconds, if Xiaoling has this card, she can even continuously cast the magic seal technique for a short period of time.

"May I take a look?" Su Chen was somewhat tempted.

Upon seeing this, Duan Lianqing also handed over the card.

When Su Chen reached out and took it, he intentionally used the copying skill of the colorless divine card to see if he could copy the spell card into his hand through a layer of plastic seal.

That's not entirely certain.

After all, the seemingly thin plastic seal does more than just protect against dust; it also has an excellent ability to isolate external elements from interference.

It provides a certain magical sealing effect.

Generally speaking, everyone removes the plastic wrapping when the contract is signed; otherwise, the difficulty of imprinting the soul mark would increase dramatically.

For the first ten seconds or so, the colorless divine card did not respond.

Huh.
Just when Su Chen was about to give up, the divine card finally took effect.

"It is estimated that the copying process will take 52 hours and 19 minutes to complete."

A message from the unseen world made him realize that he had gotten a limited card for free. If possible, he wanted to try to directly add the [Dressage] skill to Xiaoling's skill bar.

At least the earliest Elemental Guardian cards could be used in this way, but whether he could perfectly get this skill for free, Su Chen could only say that based on experience he was somewhat confident, but not certain.

As for copying secret cards, forget about it.

Once he gets his hands on a secret card, he can't sell it. Each card has a number, a so-called 'factory serial number,' and including limited edition cards, he can only use them himself.

The three secret cards sealed in the briefcase in front of them were each wrapped in a layer of solid crystal like amber, so that they could not even be touched.

It's like admiring a masterpiece in an art museum; you can only look at it and decide whether to choose it based on that.

He had a certain degree of affection for Tianhu.

With its adorable appearance and formidable strength, it won't be disliked even though it shares the same unique mental attribute as Xiao Ling.

but
The problem is, there's an even better-looking and stronger five-star summon card.

"Ice Phoenix".

The first secret card features an ice phoenix poised for flight, its elegant posture, wings half-open, and long, ornate tail feathers resembling a skirt woven from icicles. The entire card design is both dreamlike and solemn.

He must try to contract this five-star card with mythical attributes.
