My Card Beast Taming Game

But he soon discovered that the school charged by credit, and even the cheapest meals cost a little.

However, a single dose of rare and precious herbs suitable for novice card masters in the credit shop also costs a certain number of credits, which is quite expensive in comparison.

The Chow Chow with a unicorn horn advised, "You can only eat one serving at most now. Ordering more would be a waste. Just choose what you want to eat the most."

Zhou Chen felt a little embarrassed, and suddenly realized that the other person was taking the opportunity to apologize for what had just happened: "Then... I'll order a bowl of eight-treasure porridge."

"Okay, I've placed the order."

The Chow Chow with one horn clicked "confirm" on its phone.

Soon, two gleaming golden strongmen brought them breakfast.

The unicorn Chow Chow is a giant, fragrant egg. When you crack it open, golden egg liquid flows out, and the aroma is mouthwatering.

Zhou Chen looked at his eight-treasure porridge. The original eight-treasure porridge was a mixture of many kinds of beans, rice and nuts, and the bowl in front of him also had various ingredients, making it colorful at first glance.

He tried taking a small bite, and unexpectedly, that one bite caused his mental energy, which had been dormant due to the fierce battle the previous night, to start to boil again.

"If you eat this bowl today, you can eat less of the other rare and precious herbs. Eating too much will be a waste because you can't absorb it all."

"The one-horned Chow Chow explained."

Zhou Chen nodded and ate one bite after another.

This bowl of eight-treasure porridge was simply delicious, better than many other things he had ever eaten before.

The unicorn chow chow said, "This is the special canteen for disciples of the Myriad Laws Sect. You can come here to eat often in the future. You can also order takeout, but the takeout fee is a bit expensive, one credit regardless of the distance."

"That's too expensive."

Zhou Chen complained.

That's equivalent to over ten thousand!

The Chow Chow chuckled and said, "You can also ask someone to buy it for you, like your spirit beast."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strongman brought over a packaged meal. The one-horned Chow Chow sighed helplessly, "I was clearly a spirit beast, but now I've become a tool beast."

This was clearly bought for Fatian.

Zhou Chen had wanted to say this for a long time: his senior sister seemed quite lazy. He had been chatting with her for so long yesterday, and she hadn't gotten off her chair once.

When they left, they flew directly to the celestial carriage outside.

Zhou Chen accompanied the unicorn chow chow to deliver breakfast to Fatian, who was in the Xiezhi Hall, which he had visited before, kneeling on a futon in meditation, his eyelids never lifting the entire time.

This made him hesitant to greet anyone, fearing he might disturb Fatian.

The one-horned Chow Chow, however, didn't seem to care much. "I've left my things here! Remember to pack them up yourself. I'm leaving with Zhou Chen."

"……Um."

The Dharma King responded as if in a dream.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen quickly greeted him, but the response he received was still weak and listless.

Led by the unicorn lion, he arrived at another place that was very similar to the Xie Zhi Temple, except that the statue inside the temple had changed from Xie Zhi to Bai Ze, which looked four or five parts similar to Duo Mu Bai Gao.

Bai Ze, an auspicious beast.

It is the head of the dragon and tiger, with white hair and horns, and its four legs are in a flying posture.

Below the statue, an old man with white hair and a youthful face sat cross-legged, while Bai Gao with many eyes stood quietly beside him.

Good morning.

Old Bai seemed to sense Zhou Chen's arrival, opened his eyes, and spoke in a gentle and kind tone.

This was Zhou Chen's first real meeting with Elder Bai, and he dared not be careless, bowing his head respectfully and saying, "Good morning, Master."

"Don't be too reserved, I don't have many rules here."

Old Bai stood up, and his gaze was now level with Old Bai's.

This person is a centenarian.

Zhou Chen watched as Elder Bai placed his hand on his chest, as if sensing something, and quickly realized what was happening.

Sure enough, Elder Bai exclaimed in surprise, "Spiritual energy reaching the shoulders?"

"what?"

The one-horned Chow Chow's eyes widened. "Over the shoulder?"

Chapter 155: The History of the Array Domain

Zhou Chen publicly stated that he was a junior card master with less than four months of experience.

Spiritual power that can reach over the shoulder...

"When exactly did you advance to the junior level?"

The unicorn chow chow voiced the same question as Old Man Bai.

They all thought Zhou Chen had only recently advanced to the initial stage, but now his spiritual energy has already reached his shoulders, which clearly means he has been advanced for a long time!

Zhou Chen said slowly, "I became a junior card master in mid-July, less than three months later."

"I go……"

The one-horned Chow Chow was speechless for a moment.

When a young person is outstanding to a certain degree, even high-level card masters will feel envious.

Old Bai laughed heartily and said, "A genius beyond compare! A genius beyond compare!"

He then sighed, "I only hope that if I let you learn array domains, your talent won't be wasted."

Two and a half months and four months may seem like only a month and a half difference, but Elder Bai and his colleagues know very well how big the difference is.

What's more, only a month and a half has passed, and Zhou Chen's spiritual energy has already reached above his shoulders!

What does it mean?

This indicates that his mental strength is growing at the same rate as always, without any signs of blockage.

It's important to know that mental strength is a very peculiar thing; the rate of growth can vary at each stage.

Zhou Chen not only made rapid progress during his apprenticeship, but also experienced a short-term surge in skill level after reaching the beginner level. Even Bai Lao, a knowledgeable and experienced master card master, was somewhat worried that his talent might be overlooked.

"Master, you flatter me. Learning about array formations has always been my wish, and it is my good fortune to have the opportunity to learn from you."

Zhou Chen hurriedly explained.

Old Bai smiled broadly and said, "Luck, huh? Very well, it's good that you're interested in the Formation Domain. How much do you know about the Formation Domain?"

"Uh, perfect score in basic array domain skills?"

He answered tentatively.

The Chow Chow with a single horn complained: "It's like having nine out of ten orifices open, but not the other one."

Stop talking!

Zhou Chen glanced at it secretly.

Old Bai chuckled and said, "A solid foundation is very important. A strong foundation will ensure you have a smooth journey ahead."

He beckoned to Duomu Baigao, who took out a small bag from under the Bai Ze statue and handed it to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen took it with both hands and immediately recognized it as a spatial package.

Elder Bai said gently, "This is a textbook on array domain studies that I wrote. Try taking a look at it first. If you don't understand anything, feel free to ask me or Duomu Baigao."

"Yes."

Zhou Chen nodded.

Elder Bai continued, "Once you've studied these books thoroughly, we'll begin formal instruction. Of course, it's fine if you want to take classes with other teachers at the academy. Many teachers have different understandings of the Dao of Formations. If you can learn from the strengths of many, that would be ideal."

After saying that, he slowly sat back down in front of the Bai Ze statue and entered a meditative state. "Just watch from here. The incense from the Bai Ze Palace will help you concentrate. Young people's time is precious, don't waste it."

Is it an incense to wake you up?

Zhou Chen smelled the sandalwood scent in the air. He had long noticed that both the Bai Ze Hall and the Xie Zhi Hall were filled with smoke, and he had previously thought that they were used for sacrificial offerings of rare and precious materials.

In retrospect, this is still considered an auxiliary material to aid in cultivation.

He looked around and found a small table and a chair on the side of the Bai Ze statue.

It should be able to be sat on, right?

Zhou Chen subconsciously looked at Elder Bai, but the one who responded was the multi-eyed Bai Gao, "Apart from the Bai Ze statue, you can sit or lie down anywhere in the Bai Ze Hall, as long as you feel comfortable. Don't worry about disturbing your master, and don't deliberately lower your voice."

Its sound is somewhat neutral, like clear, flowing spring water.

"Ok."

Zhou Chen quickly walked to the side seat, then eagerly opened the space bag, and then fell silent.

Inside...

Are there hundreds of books?

No wonder they use a storage bag to hold it!

Zhou Chen didn't know which book to start with, so he took them out one by one and checked the names on the covers.

Fortunately, he soon discovered that these books were numbered, like Bai Lao's notes, which were marked with first, second, and third grade.

Most of the books are also well preserved, and the paper has a leather-like feel to it.

He quickly found the first book, and upon opening it, he discovered that its contents were less like a textbook and more like a mixture of notes and a diary.

The first line describes the origin of the array.

More than four hundred years ago, monsters from the secret realm ravaged the land through space-time rifts. At that time, humans had just mastered the power of the Spirit Cards and were no match for the massive number of monsters. Their living space was gradually compressed, and their population plummeted.

At this very moment, a genius developed a domain disk that could insert multiple spirit cards, based on the card summoning device.

The original intention was to achieve multi-frequency battles by summoning multiple spirit cards at once, but unexpectedly, the multiple spirit cards caused an unexpected change.

For example, inserting three identical spirit cards into the array disk creates a light wave that can amplify the power of spirit cards of the same attribute.

For example, when a spirit card containing a shield skill is inserted into the array disk, it can release an even more powerful shield.

This increase achieved an outstanding effect of 1+1>2. Although it led to the destruction of the spirit cards afterward, it became the key to humanity's counterattack.

Cooperation is the foundation of human civilization. By pooling their wisdom and efforts, they put every Spirit Card to good use, successfully defeating one monster after another. They also created stronger Spirit Cards based on the corresponding monsters, ultimately driving all the monsters back to the secret realm and rebuilding human homes.

This process lasted for nearly 150 years.

It took nearly three hundred years for human civilization, which had been disrupted, to recover and develop its technology to its current level.

The array also shone brightly, becoming a treasure at the core of humanity.

However, the threshold for mastering the array domain is quite high.

Firstly, it requires the practitioner to have a pure heart, free from the many distracting thoughts that come with meditation.

Secondly, the mental energy received when the array is triggered must be stable enough, as precise as a machine.

Thirdly, the card master must have a high level of mental energy reserves.

Fourth, the array engineer must ensure that he is not "disliked" by the vast majority of spirit cards.

What is "disdain"?

During the exploration of the array, many people discovered that some card masters could not obtain a group response from the spirit cards within the array disk. Even if they poured in a lot of spiritual power, the spirit cards remained like a stagnant pool.

It works when summoned individually, but when triggered in groups, the spirit cards collectively go on strike and refuse to respond.

This situation is referred to as being "disliked" by the spirit card.

Some people initially speculated that it might be because too many similar spirit cards were killed, but this speculation was quickly overturned after practical experience.

So far, no one has figured out the real reason.

Everyone can only assume that there is a compatibility issue between the spirit card and the card master; mastering a single card is fine, but having multiple cards will cause problems.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chen realized that he hadn't yet tested the compatibility of the spirit cards.

I shouldn't be rejected, right?

He felt that since he held the game panel in his hand, there was no reason for the spirit cards to hate him; in fact, they should love him deeply.
