Magic Card Era: My Deck is Depressing

Su Bai never intended to do anything good; he just wanted to get more depressing energy.

Good deeds are done on a whim, so there's really no need for thanks.

"You should go home soon, it's getting late."

Su Bai glanced at the time; it was already evening, and it seemed he should go back to school to get used to things.

Su Bai doesn't live on campus, so he's not worried about this issue.

Chen Lu nodded and then left.

Once Su Bai saw that the person had left, he felt relieved and prepared to go home, where someone was waiting for him.

However, Su Bai discovered a problem as soon as he left the Magic Card Master Association.

Another person destined to meet has arrived.

"Su Bai, I challenge you to a duel. The loser must leave Li Qingye!"

Although Su Bai didn't know what had happened, it probably wasn't anything good.

He was quite eager to test his magic cards in a duel.

But there's no benefit to winning, so it's not worth it.

"I know she's testing me, and you're destined to be my stepping stone!"

Chen Hai's face was gloomy, and all his emotions were written on his face.

Hearing such cringeworthy words, Su Bai still felt a bit cold.

What happened to this person?

Did you get dumped?

Poor child!

"If that's all it is, then you win!"

"I don't like her at all, I avoid her like the plague. Who's like you, always trying to get close to her?"

Upon hearing Su Bai's words, Chen Hai's face turned ashen.

After what happened today, in order to avoid Li Qingye misunderstanding, he went directly to find Li Qingye after leaving Su Bai.

The misunderstanding needed to be explained, after all, Li Qingye still held a significant place in his heart.

Li Qingye had just returned from the beach, and she looked disappointed.

The feeling that Su Bai's illusion gave her was lost when she went to the real sea.

Her eyes were filled with endless disappointment; she hated herself for never being able to step into the realm of talent.

At this moment, Chen Hai, carrying three major illusions about life, came looking for him.

He wanted to explain what had happened today to Li Qingye, hoping she wouldn't misunderstand.

Li Qingye simply gave a cold laugh.

"Su Bai is better than you, what right do you have to interfere in my affairs?"

This sentence completely enraged Chen Hai. Was he not even as good as someone he had just met?

Su Bai understood what Chen Hai meant.

Su Bai knew this kind of person all too well; he was just an ordinary guy.

Ordinary yet confident people tend to live very happy lives.

Congratulations!

"You are the victor!"

Hearing Su Bai's congratulations, he even seemed to admit defeat.

He couldn't be happy at all; he needed to prove himself.

How could they let Su Bai off so easily?

As a man, he didn't want to win so easily, because it left him with no sense of accomplishment.

"No! I must duel you!"

"Whatever you want, where to go?"

Since someone wants to be carried away, Su Bai doesn't mind giving him a ride.

The two returned to the academy, which was bustling with activity that night.

However, none of this concerned them, and the two of them returned to the place where they had fought that morning.

Without any hesitation, Chen Hai immediately started the arena.

In an instant, the dueling arena reopened.

We still chose practical application; there was no other option.

"Kid, let me show you what I'm capable of. I'm going to kill you with one strike!"

As a sophomore, he had learned a lot and knew more about magic cards than Su Bai.

But if Su Bai can fight Li Qingye, he can give it a try too.

"Wait, how about we bet on something?"

Su Bai didn't want to fight for nothing; he had to win something.

"Go ahead and say it!"

Chen Hai didn't care; he was sure he would win, and he wasn't afraid to gamble on anything.

Su Bai smiled mysteriously.

"Hehe, you beat me, so I'll stay far away from Li Qingye. I'll avoid her whenever she comes near."

"Okay, I have no other requirements!" Chen Hai was quite satisfied with the bet.

At least it can prevent anything from happening between the two of them.

"If you lose..."

"Then go and copy the book on advanced magic card instruction ten times!"

Chen Hai: ? ? ? ?

Ten times? Is that a punishment that a human being could even conceive of?

That thing is thicker than a dictionary; it's a struggle to copy it even once.

After some haggling, the price was finally reduced to one level.

Anyway, it's just for harvesting depressive energy. Winning or losing isn't important. What's important is how to break Chen Hai's defenses.

After entering the battle space, Su Bai discovered a problem.

This guy is even using undead-themed magic cards.

Upon entering the arena, he summoned a zombie warrior with a large iron barrel on its head and sticky liquid dripping from its mouth.

This thing looks like something out of a zombie movie; Su Bai really thinks it's similar to Plants vs. Zombies.

Let's begin!

Seeing that Su Bai did not summon, Chen Hai reminded him.

He was eager to defeat Su Bai.

"Go away!"

Su Bai used a magic card.

"Beep, beep beep, beep, beep beep beep beep..."

Their entrance is accompanied by their own background music, the sound of an Astronomia playing a suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument).

The catchy melody can grab your attention instantly.

However, the sound of the suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument) is only used for happy occasions or funerals.

Upon hearing this voice, Chen Hai immediately sensed an ominous aura.

I don't know what this is, but the music is a bit eerie.

As the music played, a cloud of black mist rose into the air.

A skeleton navigator dressed in a suit and wearing a magician's hat appeared in the black mist.

He held a round crystal staff with a dark green wooden staff, which he continuously swayed to the rhythm of the music.

The skull navigator's head was filled with a green halo, like a green flame.

The four coffin bearers behind them were actually humanoid evil undead with raven heads, constantly exhaling eerie blue breath.

The body, carrying the coffin, swayed to the music, striking various poses.

The coffin was dark red, with various talismans pasted on it, as if sealing something terrifying inside.

The zombie warriors, who were originally full of fighting spirit, seemed to have seen something terrible after seeing the skeleton navigator summoned by Su Bai.

They actually hid in a corner, trembling, as if they were afraid of something.

Seeing this happen to his magic card, Chen Hai refused to believe it.

So he released all the remaining magic cards. All five magic card creatures were of the undead type, and they all hid to the side, not daring to look directly at the coffin.

Just as Su Bai was about to persuade Chen Hai to surrender, a dark red light emanated from the coffin.

They headed directly towards the several undead in the distance, moving very slowly.

Soon, the red light dispersed and attacked the five creatures.

"A land of evil!"

"Your emperor has returned!"

"Your Majesty!"

A somewhat hollow yet majestic voice emanated from the coffin.
