Card Master: My Special Feature - Choose One of Three

Without Bai Miao's prompting, Fen Yuan wrapped her arms and legs around Bai Miao's waist.

Spiritual Technique Three - Strength to Uproot Mountains, enhances strength; Spiritual Technique Five - Body Like a Swallow, improves agility.

Bai Miao forcefully pulled open the car door and nimbly slipped out of the vehicle during the brief moment when the armored vehicle was rolling.

Yan Li reacted quickly, activating [Leopard Transformation], transforming into a leopard-man, and leaping out of the carriage.

Shi Shanjun wrapped one arm around Pan Lingzhen, protecting her in his arms.

He activated his third spiritual technique, "Force to Uproot Mountains," smashed the car window with a punch, and escaped with Pan Lingzhen.

"What... what kind of monster is this!" Yan Li exclaimed in surprise.

Pinky spontaneously climbed onto Bai Miao's head, where it also saw the culprit that overturned the armored vehicle.

The snake's body, as thick as a bucket, is covered with hard, obsidian-like scales.

The serpentine beast, over ten meters long, coiled around the armored vehicle, inch by inch crushing it into scrap metal.

On the snake's body, countless tangled blood vessels were exposed, clearly connected to a human head, with long, greasy hair tied up in a clump at the back of the head.

The head turned around, and beneath the bloodstains, a beautiful face was still faintly visible, with upturned eyes and smiling lips.

Yan Li and Bai Miao were simply shocked by this inhuman monster, while Pan Lingzhen was struck dumb and abruptly turned her head towards Shishan Army.

She knew the owner of this head.

Five years ago, when she went to the Special Service Bureau for entry assessment, she met Shi Shanjun, Wei Liang and two other girls and went on a mission together.

The girl with a full figure like a ripe fruit was named Liu Yayun. Every move she made exuded a charm that she, as a girl with glasses, could never even dream of.

Another girl, with upturned eyes and a smile on her lips, was charming and bright, chasing after Shi Shanjun and playing around with him non-stop.

Back then, the relationship between Wei Liang and the Shishan Army was not as hostile as it is now.

Wei Liang watched with a smile as the girl chased after Shi Shanjun, laughing and joking.

Pan Lingzhen remembered that the girl's name was Wei Yun, and she was Wei Liang's younger sister.

Pan Lingzhen didn't know what happened during that mission; she only knew that she failed the assessment.

Two years later, she finally passed the assessment and was assigned to the sixth team.

By this time, Shi Shanjun was already a squad leader, and the smile he once had was no longer on his face.

His appearance was also completely different from before. The arduous training day after day and the excessive intake of psionic supplements had made him as burly as a bear.

The other team members were tight-lipped about what happened at the time, but Aunt Rong mentioned it to her briefly.

It is said that Liu Yayun was injured during that mission and was sent back to the bureau's medical department.

A doctor named Wen Fengchang from the medical department defected from the Secret Service and disappeared along with two wounded soldiers he was treating at the time, Liu Yayun and Wei Yun.

Shi Shanjun's face was tense, and his eyes were bloodshot.

[Molten Cannon], activate.

The black muzzle glowed with intense heat, and the stench of blood in the air gradually transformed into the smell of rust in the heatwave.

"Shishanjun! You're a madman!"

Wei Liang, who arrived later, abandoned his squad members and rushed to Shi Shanjun's side, punching Shi Shanjun's head and knocking it off.

Dark red blood rolled down Shi Shanjun's forehead, and the flames from the muzzle of the molten cannon were also scattered by this punch.

"Can't you see her?! That's A-Yun! My sister A-Yun! The A-Yun who's always around you!"

Wei Liang roared hysterically, veins bulging on his neck, tears welling in his eyes.

"If we restrain her and bring her back to the Secret Service, we'll definitely find a way to turn her back."

Two burly men, each over two meters tall, were wrestling together, completely disregarding the fact that they were in the Spirit Realm and that there was a monster in front of them whose strength was comparable to a second-tier card master.

Wei Liang's repeated calls of "A-Yun" failed to awaken the snake monster's human consciousness; instead, they aroused its ferocity.

With its tail swaying and body twisting, the monster with a human head and snake body lunged at Wei Liang and Shi Shanjun.

Ding Yi brushed past Bai Miao, who grabbed his arm.

"What are you doing! Can't you see the basilisk is about to attack the captain and the others? I need to get over there to help!"

"Don't go over there. That basilisk is at the second level of strength. We can't fight it. Don't get in the way."

Bai Miao stopped Ding Yi.

He murmured to himself, "Moreover, that snake monster seems to be an important person to Shishan Army and Wei Liang."

Yan Li also wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Pan Lingzhen.

The serpent monster coiled around Shi Shanjun and Wei Liang, who were wrestling together, and tightened its body inch by inch.

The head that belonged to Wei Yun had only a mad, bestial look in its eyes.

"She's not Wei Yun anymore! Don't you understand that yet?"

Shi Shanjun punched Wei Liang in the head, broke free from Wei Liang's restraints, grabbed Wei Liang by the collar behind his back, and lifted him to break free from the snake's tail.

Pointing at the serpent monster that was whipping towards them with its tail, Shi Shanjun asked Wei Liang with red eyes:

"Let's put aside whether this monster is Wei Yun or not, even if she is Wei Yun..."

Are you just going to let her suffer like this, neither human nor ghost?

You are the person who knows Wei Yun best. Would she want to live like this?

Driven by bestial instincts, forgetting loved ones and friends, slaughtering fellow human beings, and living solely on desire?

"Let her go, Wei Liang."

The Stone Mountain Army reactivated the [Molten Cannon], and flames once again gathered at the dark muzzle.

This time, Wei Liang did not stop him.

He gazed greedily at the head that looked exactly like Wei Yun's, tracing Wei Yun's features with his eyes.

Wei Liang knew that Shi Shanjun was right; that monster was no longer Wei Yun.

Ultimately, it's hard to say whether the brain inside that head is Wei Yun's.

No one, except Wen Fengchang, could find out exactly how many modifications this serpent monster had undergone.

But this doesn't stop him from hating Shishan Army, hating his clarity and decisiveness, and hating his correctness.

The crimson cannons bombarded the snake's body, turning it into a sea of ​​lava and fire, in which the basilisk struggled.

Wei Liang clenched and unclenched his fists, finally watching helplessly as the basilisk was burned to ashes.

Men don't easily shed tears, but after this exchange, both of them had tears in their eyes.

The towering flames created a heat wave, and Bai Miao's clothes were whipped behind her by the hot wind.

At that moment, he suddenly understood the meaning behind Bai Guodong's words.

"Even in the powerful Divine Continent Alliance, there are still organizations like the Lionheart Society."

"If we don't have enough power at our disposal, today's Shishan Army and Wei Liang will be tomorrow's us."

The choice is to use power to protect those you cherish, or to helplessly watch them suffer calamities.

Bai Miao chose the former.

Sensing Bai Miao's desire to become stronger, Fen Yuan quietly clenched her cat paws.

Bai Miao will definitely become stronger, strong enough to protect the people he wants to protect.

It couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, thinking, "I need to become stronger to help Bai Miao even more."

Noticing Fen Yuan's mood, Bai Miao picked Fen Yuan up from above his head and stroked its head to comfort it, saying, "Good Fen Yuan, you've done enough, more than enough."

Pink Ball's voice was muffled as it said, "Bai Miao, you must work hard to cultivate your spiritual energy and quickly reach level 20 to summon new cards."

Apart from Bai Miao and Fen Yuan, everyone else faced the towering flames. Those who knew the inside story couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for their kind.

As the flames died down, Shi Shanjun and Wei Liang stood side by side.

Their expressions were different, but their eyes were equally determined.

"Let's go, let's tear that bastard Wen Fengchang to pieces!"
