My Card Beast Taming Game

Unfortunately, everyone seems to value global-level events like the Youth Championships more.

Including the General Association of Zhuxia Card Masters.

Led by the Chow Chow, the group inevitably started chatting enthusiastically, while Lu Qingning calmly prepared to leave.

Outside the arena, the number of spectators had decreased due to the departure of the student council, but many students still remained.

Most of them were observing Lu Qingning. Some were amazed by her beauty, while others were shocked that a first-year student had actually defeated the school team's regular player.

"I had a premonition, but I didn't expect the 'fierce god' to make his move so quickly!"

"What 'fierce god'?"

"It's Lu Qingning! You wouldn't know if you weren't in summer camp, but she's incredibly cruel! We all thought she'd be more restrained after joining the Divine Capital Academy, but she's still the same as ever!"

"I'm so envious..."

The crowd was bustling.

Lu Qingning overheard many conversations about her, but she ignored them all.

She casually said to Zhou Chen, "Since you've decided to team up with Su Xuanzhen, it would be best if you could do what I did and take some time to spar with members of the school team, whether they're starters or substitutes. This will help build your team."

"Um……"

Zhou Chen didn't have the habit of actively seeking out challenges, but he couldn't bring himself to openly provoke the regulars like Lu Qingning. "Alright, I'll give it a try."

Han Baobao laughed and said, "You can definitely do it. It's very simple. Just go up to the school team and issue a challenge."

The Chow Chow agreed, "Indeed, I'll keep an eye out for you; we're bound to run into a few."

It turns out.

It's completely wrong.

There were no team members around the teaching building at all; everyone was focused on the substitute selection, which took place far from the teaching building.

Zhou Chen attended classes steadily for two days, gaining one name after another through self-discipline and the school forum.

"Tomorrow's the weekend, let's take the opportunity to go check it out."

The Chow Chow suggested, "Give yourself a break. I see you acting like a walking corpse every morning when you wake up."

Shen Du Yuan will undoubtedly arrange weekends for its students.

On the one hand, novice cardholders must have ample rest time to release stress, such as by meditating in a quiet room.

Zhou Chen has been at Shen Du Yuan for over a week, but he hasn't tried this thing even once.

On the contrary, Lu Qingning and Su Xuanzhen went there often, sometimes even spending the night in the quiet room, since the school gave them plenty of time.

He didn't go because both the Unicorn Lion and Fatian told him he didn't need to, as the environments of the Bai Ze Palace and the Xie Zhi Palace were better than the Jing Shi.

On the other hand, students can also do some of their own things.

For example, you could go to a secret realm to earn some pocket money.

The Shintoin Academy buys back monster materials and spirit cards obtained by its students at the highest market price, and it's even "tax-free".

Ordinary card masters like Mei Xian earn credits by attending classes during the week and earn money to buy spiritual materials on weekends, leading a very fulfilling life.

Of course, she doesn't need to.

Zhou Chen had previously helped her earn tens of millions in the Hungry Wolf Secret Realm. Although she spent some of it on buying spirit cards, she still had savings.

If she uses it sparingly, it can last a long time.

At least I should be able to get through the adjustment period at Shintoin smoothly.

Incidentally, thanks to his 70% talent for card making, Zhou Chen received invitations from many people, including those in his own grade and those in higher grades.

The price of spirit cards far exceeds that of materials. Nobody is stupid; everyone knows what 70% card-making talent means.

Anyone who teams up with Zhou Chen can become a millionaire in a short period of time!

Unfortunately, Zhou Chen rejected them all.

How could he possibly accept an invitation from a complete stranger?

If Xing Keji and his group invited me, I wouldn't mind accepting it, but Xing Keji and his family are well-off and don't lack money, they lack academic credits.

then.

On the weekend.

Duo Mu Bai Gao smiled as he saw Zhou Chen off, who had come to ask for leave.

"Go ahead, you can learn array domains slowly, but youth only comes once."

Encouraged by Mr. Bai, he and the Chow Chow arrived at the school team selection site—the arena area filled with explosions and roars.

Chapter 173: Personal Information (33/118)

The Shintoin Arena is divided into two sections—

Open-air area and indoor area.

The former has the largest total area and is open to all students, even card masters who are not students of Shendu Academy; the latter can only be used freely by graduate students and school teams, and ordinary students have to apply in advance if they want to use it.

In most cases, it will pass.

After all, Shen Du Academy has built a lot of semi-open-air venues in the form of gymnasiums, which the team members will likely not be able to use up, but opening them all up would leave the team members with nowhere to use them.

Zhou Chen could only say, "Make a little more!"

Shen Du Yuan isn't short of money or land; they could just build a hundred or two more.

There are probably some restrictions.

He walked with the Chow Chow in the open-air area and was struck by how crowded it was. Almost every visible "pit" had card players practicing, and the number clearly exceeded three hundred.

Zhou Chen realized that not everyone fighting here was participating in the selection process.

Sure enough, the Chow Chow smiled and said, "At times like this, the arena area is always packed with people."

"How to say?"

Zhou Chen knew there was another half-sentence to it.

The Chow Chow replied, "What else can I say? I feel like I'm being dragged down by my grades, but I'm actually very strong in combat. Many people are dissatisfied with the rule that only those in the top 100 of the compulsory courses can participate, but little do they know that it's these idiots who can't even get into the top 100 who are being eliminated."

In its view, given the memory and focus of a junior card master, failing to get into the top 100 only proves that they haven't studied hard enough.

The Divine Capital Academy has always selected the best of the best; otherwise, how could it cultivate geniuses who can rival the top families?

Although the sects are currently more powerful and the aristocratic families are weaker, as the saying goes, fortunes change. The aristocratic families were arrogant for so many years, but they were still countered by the sects.

The three major academies and even the card master academies of the entire Zhuxia were watching the aristocratic families decline, yet they remained vigilant at all times.

Therefore, students who cannot keep up are destined to be "eliminated".

Of course, this doesn't mean that the Divine Capital Academy completely ignores them. They will still receive the necessary support and platforms. It's just that they are talents that will be sent to associations throughout the various regions of China in the future.

If these people continue like this, they are guaranteed to become intermediate card masters, and it's not uncommon for them to become advanced ones if they're lucky.

"You don't need to worry too much about your genius being buried. What do you think those spirit beasts you often see are doing wandering around? Are they just out for a stroll?"

The Chow Chow retorted, "Truly talented people will be seen, and you're the one I caught."

Various spirit beasts, large and small, often roam around in different parts of Shen Du Academy, such as the teaching buildings.

On his first day at Shen Du Academy, Zhou Chen spotted a giant wolf with a shoulder height of over ten meters near a building. Before he could react, a fat, one-horned dog automatically appeared at the foot of the platform.

This led to a tragic love affair.

"Let's go, the school team is all in the arena."

The one-horned Chow Chow took the lead and headed towards the nearest arena.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Su Xuanzhen at the entrance of the arena. He was holding a tablet and looking down, deep in thought.

"Old Su."

Zhou Chen greeted him.

Su Xuanzhen looked up, surprised, and asked, "Why are you here?"

In his memory, Zhou Chen never cared much about the school team. He was either in class or disappeared as if he had vanished into thin air.

Of course, everyone knows he went to learn about array formations.

Many freshmen at the Array Domain Academy were envious.

Although the teachers who taught them were also very professional, one-on-one instruction was still different, especially since the other party was the vice dean of Shen Du Academy!

He is two levels higher than the vice dean of the Array Domain Academy.

Seeing that Zhou Chen remained silent, Su Xuanzhen suddenly realized something. "Are you really planning to challenge the school team as Lu Qingning suggested?"

He was present at the time and naturally didn't miss that suggestion.

However, Su Xuanzhen personally does not believe that playing both the regular and substitute players on the school team will help build the team.

He understood that Lu Qingning meant to show off her skills. But not everyone who is defeated has the composure to immediately forget about victory or defeat.

Competitive battles may not resolve conflicts; sometimes they may even exacerbate them.

The one-horned Chow Chow replied, "Young man, don't overthink it. Why does the school encourage competitive matches? It's so that you can keep clashing and let your talents shine. Do you think he'll stop competing with you just because you're playing house with him amicably?"

"……Yes."

Su Xuanzhen was speechless.

Shen Du Academy has all sorts of people, but there aren't many like Lu Qingning who, upon arrival, immediately declare war on the student council.

Now Zhou Chen is going to imitate her and declare war on the school team again.

For a moment, Su Xuanzhen even began to doubt whether teaming up with the other party was a good thing or a bad thing.

However, the die is cast, and the two must share the same fate on the same pirate ship.

It would be extremely inappropriate to back down now.

He sighed, "Do you need me to pick an opponent for you?"

"Oh? You're on the right track!"

The Chow Chow beamed, "In that case, this valuable position of guide is yours!"

Su Xuanzhen said helplessly, "Can we use a different term? 'Traitor' sounds too harsh. I'm just indirectly looking for teammates."

He gave himself an excuse and showed off the tablet in his arms, "I've recorded a lot of people these past two days, you can start by choosing from them."

"Are they all from the school team?"

Zhou Chen leaned forward to take a look.

Su Xuanzhen shook his head, "No, but they are all people I think have a very high probability of joining the school team. This one is good, and would be a good first opponent for you."

The tablet screen displays a half-body portrait of a young man, and scrolling down reveals a wealth of information about him.

Fang Xu, a third-year student at the Sports Academy, specializes in spirit cards...

"You opened the box?"

Zhou Chen looked at Su Xuanzhen in disbelief. The information inside was so detailed that it recorded Fang Xu's past, all his exam scores, the spirit cards he had used, his combat habits, his interpersonal relationships at school, and the estimated number of credits he had.

I was practically ready to check how much money was left in his bank account.

Su Xuanzhen shrugged. "I bought it. In this information age, everything that ordinary card masters do is recorded. Many people make a living by selling information, hoping to get rich from it."

Zhou Chen: "Aren't you afraid of retaliation? Doesn't the school care?"

“You have to be able to find him first and outmaneuver his backers.” Su Xuanzhen chuckled. “There are some kinds of money that have a threshold to earn. As for schools, we don’t care if they’re harmless; we’ll buy information on members from other schools as well.”

"..."

Zhou Chen felt a chill run down his spine.

He is now very glad that he didn't take too many chances and sell a large number of the spirit cards he had on hand.

The unicorn crow seemed to sense something and said, "Don't worry, your information is protected by the Myriad Laws Sect. Even if something is discovered, it doesn't matter. No one will dare to cause you trouble."

really?

Let's hope so.
