My Card Beast Taming Game

Zhou Chen dared not trust anyone deeply. Last time he trusted Lawyer Cui, and what happened?

What's the point of apologizing over the phone afterward? If you don't have the skills, don't take on the job!

Although he knew that strictly speaking, Cui Lu couldn't be blamed for the Pan family's affairs, he couldn't help but feel unhappy. And what was there to say when he was unhappy?

If a card player wants to improve, they can't let themselves be unhappy all the time; they have to enjoy it.

The happy ones should back down?

Those who enjoy themselves, let's have some fun!

Chapter 174: The Star-Seeking Parrot (34/118)

Inside the arena.

Zhou Chen noticed many students talking in hushed tones, and from deeper inside, he could faintly hear the roars of beasts and the sounds of violent collisions.

Su Xuanzhen said softly, "There are only eight exam rooms on Saturday, and this is one of them."

Why are there fewer exam venues on weekends?

He subconsciously thought that with so much free time on weekends, there should be more exam venues.

The Chow Chow chuckled and said, "Students are on holiday, but don't teachers need holiday too? Do you think teachers are oxen?"

"What cow? Where's the cow?"

A strange cry came from inside, and a large, brightly colored parrot flew out and landed on Zhou Chen's shoulder without any hesitation.

The large parrot nibbled at his ear. "Good morning, little guy!"

"Good morning, why are you biting my ear...?"

Zhou Chen clutched his hand in pain.

The parrot's voice was different from before, clearly indicating that the person speaking to him now was the spirit beast itself, not the school team teacher who had been negotiating.

Upon seeing it, Su Xuanzhen greeted it with great respect: "Teacher Wenxing."

"Su Xuanzhen? Didn't you just leave?"

The parrot tilted its head, its eyes full of curiosity.

The Chow Chow with one horn spoke first: "Come and find us an opponent. Is Fang Xu inside?"

The parrot asked, "What do you mean? You want to fight Fang Xu?"

Zhou Chen took the initiative and said, "I'd like to challenge this senior, but I don't know if I have the chance..."

"Of course there is! Leave it to me! Just you wait!"

The parrot flapped its wings and flew into the depths of the arena. About half a minute later, it flapped its wings again and came out, followed by a young man. "Run! Hurry! Don't let anyone look down on our academy!"

It was Fang Xu on Su Xuanzhen's tablet.

He seemed confused, having been inexplicably called out, "Teacher Xing, may I ask what's the matter..."

"This junior wants to fight you, are you going to accept?"

The parrot landed on Zhou Chen's shoulder and pecked at his ear. "Yes, that's him."

Fang Xu was stunned for a moment, his gaze shifting from Zhou Chen to Su Xuanzhen, and then down to the harmless-looking one-horned Chow Chow.

"Ok."

He agreed without much hesitation.

With the two main spirit beasts here, he had no choice but to agree.

Zhou Chen was also pleased that things had gone smoothly. The three of them, along with the dog and the bird, turned and left the arena, looking for an empty spot nearby.

Fang Xu seemed to finally remember who Zhou Chen was, and asked strangely, "Junior, you're already a substitute on the school team, right? Why are you here to play against me?"

"We discussed it and think you have a high chance of making the school team. So we wanted to come and learn from you and see our true strength."

Su Xuanzhen interrupted first.

He was afraid that Zhou Chen was too honest.

Upon hearing this, Fang Xu laughed and said, "It's not that certain. It depends on whether the teachers agree or not."

As he said this, he glanced at the parrot, seemingly unintentionally.

The parrot pretended not to see anything and continued talking to Zhou Chen, "Want me to calculate your odds?"

"Need not."

Zhou Chen resolutely refused.

The parrot's full name is the Star-Asking Parrot, a platinum-tier sky-attribute spirit beast. It has a magical ability called astrology, which allows it to ask the stars for answers to certain questions.

However, its accuracy rate is really low, to the point that it's like a fortune teller under a bridge, a complete fraud.

Before long, the group found a quiet, deserted spot.

Fang Xu stepped in first, then turned around with a smile and asked, "Junior, how are you planning to fight?"

"Let's settle this in one game, senior."

Zhou Chen tried to learn from Lu Qingning.

Fang Xu was surprised and said, "Are you not leaving yourself any room for maneuver at all? Junior, in a serious competition, you have two lives, and you only get one chance."

The rules of the Qingjin Tournament are largely similar to those of the Yuzhong Cup, with two lives being exchanged at once.

Zhou Chen nodded: "Let's stop here. I don't want to waste too much time."

"Hahaha! Don't worry! I have plenty of free time!" Fang Xu laughed heartily, thinking that Zhou Chen was saying he was wasting his time.

Only the one-horned Chow Chow and Su Xuanzhen knew what he meant.

"I'll be the referee!"

Without hesitation, the parrot flew to the top of the iron fence. "One-on-one, one game to decide the winner! Both card masters, prepare!"

Zhou Chen revealed the card-calling device he had prepared for a long time, and Fang Xu also pressed his own card onto the back of his hand.

"Three, two, one! Summon the cards!"

The parrot was calling very fast.

But the reactions on both sides were quick.

Black wind swirled around Zhou Chen, and enormous wings obscured the lightning-streaked wind and thunder blades. Then, the White Ape appeared.

"grumble!"

It straightened its body and looked at its opponent.

Fang Xu's spirit card is called Headless War Soul, which is a headless giant that is even taller than the Black Feather White Ape, about three meters tall.

It wielded a blood-stained steel blade, wider and larger than the Wind and Thunder Blade, with countless decaying rings embedded in its back.

Ding ding ding~

These rings made a crisp sound as the headless war spirit moved, inexplicably making people feel irritated.

According to the information provided by Su Xuanzhen, this is a mutated card with a dark attribute, originating from the Lost Souls Secret Realm of the Divine Capital Academy, and is extremely offensive.

Fang Xu didn't rush to attack, but instead said, "Junior Brother Zhou Chen, I heard that you single-handedly defeated a heavily injured Gold-rank monster?"

"Ah."

Zhou Chen observed the headless battle spirit's movements, recalling Fang Xu's fighting style in his mind.

Although he only glanced at it a few times, he basically memorized the contents of the tablet. The next step was to put it into practice.

To verify the accuracy of the intelligence.

Fang Xu had no idea what Zhou Chen was thinking and said with a smile, "You're really amazing! When I was in first grade, I couldn't do what you did."

Couldn't do it in first grade, but can now?

Su Xuanzhen understood his unspoken message and frowned inwardly.

"Fang Xu! Stop talking nonsense!"

The referee, a star-shaped parrot, impatiently retorted, "Who taught you that! Talking during a battle!"

Fang Xu quickly apologized to him, and in the instant his gaze shifted, the Black-feathered White Ape suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Although the headless battle spirit had no eyes, it still sensed the other party's abnormality and hurriedly alerted its card master through the collision of the rings.

Unfortunately, Fang Xu, whose attention was turned back to the arena, was equally bewildered.

Where are the cards on the other side?

He was, after all, a seasoned fighter, and the next second he realized something was wrong. His eyes scanned all around him, and his ears perked up—

Call ~

Fang Xu's body stiffened abruptly, and sweat quickly broke out on his back. He realized where his opponent was.

The moment he turned his head to investigate, the Black-feathered White Ape, positioned diagonally above and behind him, suddenly thrust out the Wind and Thunder Blade.

"twitter!"

The Wind and Thunder Blade, carrying lightning, flew towards the headless war spirit at an even faster speed.

The headless battle spirit quickly turned around at Fang Xu's command, held its sword horizontally in front of its chest, and used brute force to knock away the wind and thunder blades that were flying towards it.

when!

The wind and thunder blades soared high into the air, swirling in mid-air.

Neither Fang Xu nor the creature expected that the Black-feathered White Ape would charge towards the headless battle spirit the instant it threw its knife.

[Shadowless Instant Strike]!

It reached out and grabbed the wind and thunder blade that had been flung away, and taking advantage of the moment when Infinite Strike triggered a full explosion, it used the blade to slash across the headless war spirit's body.

The entire movement was so smooth it felt like striking empty air.

The first strike builds up a passive advantage, the second strike unleashes the real power!

Fang Xu, whose mental link had been forcibly severed, knew that the headless battle spirit had perished.

"..."

His eyes widened as he watched the headless war spirit's upper and lower body separate.

Chapter 175: Not a Spiritual Artifact

"Fang Xu! What are you doing! Fang Xu! You've completely disgraced the Sports Academy! Are you an idiot?"

The parrot flew into a rage, spewing a torrent of abuse at Fang Xu, "You're still careless in a one-game match! What are you so arrogant about! If you don't want to play, just kill your spirit and go to work! Don't bother joining the school team! What kind of card master are you!"

Fang Xu was humiliated and dared not utter a single word of rebuttal.

After learning that he had a high chance of making the school team, he became a little arrogant and carried away by being called "senior" a couple of times.

That's how it happened; he was instantly killed by a combo, with no chance to fight back.

That's utterly shameful.

He could still get away with it if it were a private battle, but now that the Star-Questioning Parrot was watching, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

After all, the star-chasing parrot represents the school team's leadership.

"Get out! Get back to running! No rest until you've run 100 kilometers! I don't want to see you again this week!"

"Yes!"

Fang Xu felt as if he had been granted a pardon.

The fact that he was punished shows that he was not abandoned, so what does a mere hundred kilometers matter?

On Zhou Chen's side, Su Xuanzhen, who was watching from the sidelines, had a slight gleam in his eyes. "High damage! Quick! Excellent!"

He only knew that Zhou Chen could fight a heavily injured Gold-ranked opponent, but he had never seen the latter fight. He never expected that the Black-feathered White Ape King's abilities were even more outstanding than he had anticipated.

Moreover, he could tell that Zhou Chen had made full use of the intelligence he had obtained.

The headless warrior spirit attacks swiftly, its swordsmanship is wide and sweeping, and it will withstand powerful attacks and try to reflect them back.
