Card Kingdom: This kid's codex is full of gold

The First Blade, Zhao Lingyun.

The leader of the Seven Blades has already stepped into the threshold of becoming a Silver Summoner.

He has a cold and stern face and rarely smiles. He is good at overall planning. Although he is missing his left arm, he is the strongest blade among the Seven Blades.

At the same time, he is also the only one among the Seven Blades who possesses a gold card.

The second blade, Zhao Lingfeng.

A second-tier, fifth-level bronze summoner, tall and slender with a refined demeanor. His strongest summon is a mutated Naga, and he excels at reconnaissance and ranged attacks.

The third blade, Zhao Ling Shuang.

A second-tier, fifth-stage bronze summoner, and the only female among the Seven Blades.

She has a cold and aloof appearance and is taciturn, but her fighting style is extremely ruthless. Her strongest beast is a mutated frost wolf, and she is good at surprise attacks and assassinations.

The fourth blade, Zhao Linglei.

Second-tier, fifth-level Bronze Summoner.

He is physically imposing and has a fiery temper. He excels at direct attacks and his strongest beast is a mutated rock rhinoceros, which is tough and thick-skinned, making it the shield of the Seven Blades.

The Fifth Blade, Zhao Linghuo.

A second-tier, fifth-level bronze summoner, with an outgoing personality and a thirst for battle, he is the one among the seven whose personality is closest to Zhao Long's.

His strongest card beast is the mutated Flame Wolf, which excels at high-speed guerrilla warfare and fire bursts.

The Sixth Blade, Zhao Lingshan.

A second-tier, fifth-stage bronze summoner, taciturn and the healer among the Seven Blades.

His strongest card beast is a mutated slug with extremely powerful healing abilities, responsible for sustaining the Seven Blades.

The Seventh Blade, Zhao Lingying.

He was lean and wiry, with a perpetually nonchalant smile on his lips.

His rank is only second-tier, fourth stage, making him the weakest among the Seven Blades.

However, his talent does not lie in combat.

His summoned beast is a second-tier silver shadow ghost. Combined with his own lightness technique, he moves like the wind and appears and disappears unpredictably. He is recognized as a scout and pathfinding expert among the Seven Blades.

When Zhao Long saw that Zhao Lingyun, the First Blade, was asking him, he didn't hide anything and told her about his crush on Dugu Ying.

To Zhao Long, the Seven Blades were closer than his own brothers.

His brothers and sisters would fight him openly and secretly for power within the family, but the Seven Blades would not. The Seven Blades would only prioritize his interests, even at the cost of their lives.

Zhao Lingyun's left arm, the first blade, was lost while protecting Zhao Long.

Therefore, Zhao Long had absolute trust in the Seven Blades.

After listening to Zhao Long's words, Zhao Lingyun pondered for a moment and then asked:

"Young Master, what are your plans for dealing with that brat?"

"Porcelain doesn't compare itself to clay pottery!"

Zhao Long pursed his lips, lowered his gaze, and continued, "I, Zhao Long, am a direct descendant of the prestigious Zhao clan. I disdain to compete with that commoner boy for her affections. However, Dugu Ying is the woman I love, and I will not allow any man to have contact with her!"

"Understood."

Zhao Lingyun turned to look at the Seventh Blade, Zhao Lingying, and instructed, "Seventh Brother, go and talk to that kid named Zhang Yun."

"Warn him, don't be a toad trying to eat swan meat. The Dugu family's young lady is not someone he has the right to covet."

Zhao Lingying popped a peanut into her mouth, chewed it, and chuckled, "Hehe, what if that kid doesn't listen?"

Zhao Lingyun said slowly, "No one can resist the advice of fists."

"Hehe, got it, Brother Yun, I'm off!"

Zhao Lingying's lean body leaped like a nimble monkey, covering a hundred meters in the blink of an eye, rushing towards the teaching building where the first-year students were located...

...

...

At this moment, Zhang Yun was unaware that he was being targeted.

He was sitting cross-legged in the holographic training room of the library.

On the projection screen in front of them, a virtual female teacher was repeatedly demonstrating the basic operating route of the Soul Technique.

Beside me, Teacher Zhou Na was incessantly admonishing, "Zhang Yun, you need to pay close attention to the explanations on the screen."

"The AI ​​explanation on the screen is of limited quality, less than one-fifth of a teacher's, but it still explains the basic details very well."

"First, memorize the basic definition of Soul Techniques and their operating route, then try circulating them yourself."

"It's okay if it doesn't work. The teacher will explain it to you in detail in a moment, and I guarantee you'll learn it."

"Yes, teacher!"

Zhang Yun nodded solemnly, his eyes fixed on the AI ​​teaching explanation on the screen.

The so-called Soul Technique has two main functions.

First, it purifies the soul power within the summoner's body, improving the quality of the soul power and strengthening the physique.

Second, resonate with the codex, stimulate its potential, and enable it to advance to a higher level. At the same time, the codex can be used as a magical artifact to defend against attacks or counterattacks.

The proficiency level of the Soul Technique is divided into six levels, from low to high: Beginner, Proficient, Expert, Master, Grandmaster, and Supreme.

Only when the Soul Technique reaches the beginner level can the Summoner activate the Codex with the Advancement Stone, upgrading the Iron Codex to the Bronze Codex.

To upgrade the Bronze Codex to Silver level, the Soul Technique must be upgraded to Mastery.

The subsequent levels follow the same pattern.

The Soul Technique is fair to everyone.

Regardless of wealth, status, height, weight, or appearance, the soul techniques learned are the same.

As for how high one can cultivate, it depends entirely on one's talent and comprehension.

Those lacking talent will never reach the initial stage of mastery in their lifetime, and their magical scriptures will never be able to be upgraded to the Bronze rank.

Some people can cross the threshold of entry and reach the proficiency level, but most cannot advance to the silver level because they cannot cultivate to the point of perfect proficiency.

The vast majority of summoners will be stuck at the beginner or master level for their entire lives, unable to make any further progress.

The more profound one's cultivation of the Soul Technique, the purer the Summoner's Soul Power, the stronger their physique, and the closer their bond with the Codex.

Legend has it that after cultivating the Soul Technique to the Grandmaster level, the Summoner can even achieve a "super resonance" with the Codex, granting the Codex many incredible divine powers.

For example, a fire-based codex could be used as a nuclear bomb...

For example, a code of laws governing water systems can trigger tsunamis...

For example, the wind-based codex can trigger hurricanes and thunderstorms...

Furthermore, the Codex in its "Super Resonance" state can also benefit the Summoner, allowing them to comprehend various extraordinary skills and talents.

For example, moving mountains and filling seas, summoning elemental legions, or traveling through the universe...

For example, Golden Body Technique, Demon God's Overlord Body, etc...

Of course, this is all content circulating online, and its authenticity is unknown...

After all, in such a vast Dragon Kingdom, no summoner openly possesses the ability to achieve "super resonance" with the Codex...

But one thing is certain: the higher your proficiency in Soul Techniques, the more powerful and explosive they become!

At this moment, Zhang Yun was still a little nervous.

His comprehension of the Soul Technique is directly related to the level of his future achievements.

Even if he possesses numerous super god-level cards, if his own comprehension is poor and he cannot improve the level of the codex, then he can only become an ordinary person.

After watching the AI ​​video for a while, he had basically memorized the path of the Soul Technique.

The rest is all about hands-on practice.

Zhang Yun looked at Teacher Zhou Na beside him and said, "Teacher, I've almost memorized the trajectory of the Soul Technique, and I'd like to try circulating it."

"Then give it a try. It's okay if it doesn't work; the teacher will help you fix the details."

"good!"

Zhang Yun sat up straight, adopted the posture of facing upwards, and slowly closed his eyes.

He began to guide his soul power, following the route demonstrated in the video, and started circulating the soul technique...

Zhang Yun's life level has reached the gold level, his basic combat power is as high as 550 points, and the soul power flowing in his meridians is much more abundant than that of ordinary cast iron summoners.

Therefore, he can freely mobilize the soul power within his body and operate it according to the path of the soul technique.

Om-!

Zhang Yun's body trembled violently, and the first wisp of soul power successfully passed through the Tanzhong acupoint and entered the sea of ​​consciousness between his eyebrows.

In an instant, a faint white flame ignited on his body.

The layer of light was very light and thin, like a veil of moonlight covering his shoulders, flickering slightly in the dim classroom.

The cast iron codex floating beside him emitted a very soft and low hum—"Eeeeeeeeeee!"

The ancient inscriptions on the cover seemed to have been activated by something, and began to slowly wander along the edge of the code.

Soul power blazes, and the magic code resonates – these are the signs of entering the realm of Soul Techniques!

Zhou Na was looking down at her Baidu Baike account, browsing through tutorial videos by famous experts, preparing to show off her skills to Zhang Yunlu and impress him with her polished demeanor.

Good heavens... When she caught a glimpse of the white flames surrounding Zhang Yun out of the corner of her eye, her jaw nearly dropped to the floor in shock.

Unable to contain her horror, she let out a scream as loud as a pig being slaughtered:

"Waaaaah—!"
