My Card Beast Taming Game

However, if the reflection fails, it will expose its own vulnerability.

Zhou Chen grasped this element, which is why he launched a throwing attack on the headless war spirit, forcing it to defend itself and then expose its weakness.

Fang Xu was completely unfamiliar with the Black-feathered White Ape and did not know that it had two dash skills, so he did not follow up with the subsequent combos.

Therefore, they suffered a great misfortune.

Although the battle just now was brief, it reminded Su Xuanzhen of the battle between Wenren Shiyue and Lu Qingning—using the restriction of the enemy's movements to unleash a fierce attack, and then launching a fatal blow with a swift counterattack.

Unfortunately, Wenren Shiyue's Thunderous Dragon failed to defeat Lu Qingning's Netherflame Lion, but Zhou Chen's Black-feathered White Ape successfully annihilated the Headless War Soul.

This reveals two things—

Lu Qingning's Netherflame Lion has excellent defense and vitality, while Zhou Chen's Black Feather White Ape has the ability to deliver a decisive blow!

This is crucial!

Su Xuanzhen couldn't help but ask, "That last strike, was it a critical hit?"

"...You figured it out?"

Zhou Chen didn't expect that the Black-feathered White Ape's skill set could be kept secret forever. Each of its skills actually had an outward manifestation, which could be seen if you looked closely.

He was even prepared to expose the fact that the Black-feathered White Ape possessed a magical artifact.

but.

"Did you summon that sword?"

The one-horned cypress stared at the knife in the black-feathered white ape's hand and couldn't help but say, "I always thought it was a magical weapon!"

Zhou Chen turned to look at it, "What does that mean?"

"What do you mean? A spirit artifact is not a spirit card. The spirit artifact will automatically transfer to the spirit card only after the card master summons it."

The unicorn chowcchus took small, quick steps forward, carefully examining the Wind and Thunder Blade in the hand of the Black-feathered White Ape, and remarked, "It's too similar."

The parrot that had just finished scolding Fang Xu flew over and looked him over as well. "Indeed, I've discussed it with Lao Niu. We think that since it's a spirit card that can be held as a handheld object, it must have a matching spirit weapon. We're helping to find one everywhere."

Lao Niu refers to the black ox of Shang Zun, the vice dean of the Secret Realm Academy.

The spirit beasts had a good relationship in private.

Seeing how much attention these two were paying to his precious pets, the White Ape King inexplicably became a little wary, took two steps back, and put the knife into his robes.

"Who wants yours! I can't use it!"

A rant about the Chow Chow.

The parrot flapped its wings and flew to Zhou Chen's shoulder. "Although that idiot was careless, you played well. With more practice, you'll definitely make the starting lineup."

When Zhou Chen and Su Xuanzhen heard this, they realized that Fang Xu had run away without saying goodbye at some point.

The parrot said, "I punished him by making him run. The sports academy can lose, but it can't lose in such a low-level way, especially since he's someone who's participating in the school team selection."

To be honest, Zhou Chen didn't expect Fang Xu to not attack after the fight started, but to chat with him for a bit first. He originally thought it was some kind of tactic.

As a result, the headless war spirit did not move at all, clearly indicating that it did not give any orders.

Since he's been given the chance, what else can he say?

Take it!

The Chow Chow sneered, "See? Even someone who's about to join the school team will still make silly mistakes."

"What? You look down on our sports academy?" the parrot glared at it.

The Chow Chow said innocently, "I didn't say that, you said it yourself. I was just trying to boost Zhou Chen's confidence."

"Humph!"

The parrot raised its head. "That would be best!"

Su Xuanzhen silently took out his tablet. "Next up is Huang Zelin. His usual spirit cards are for damage dealers and support roles. Shall we continue?"

Zhou Chen nodded.

The match against Fang Xu was too short; it would be best to have more matches today.

"What do you think of Fang Xu?" he asked in return.

Su Xuanzhen remained silent, but quietly crossed out Fang Xu's information, which made the parrot glare at him. "What are you doing, little guy?"

"We are looking for teammates..."

He gave a brief explanation.

The parrot turned its head and gently nibbled Zhou Chen's earlobe. "You guys are even more domineering than us! You give up after losing once?"

"Strive for perfection".

Zhou Chen couldn't hold back any longer and reached out to grab the parrot's beak, complaining, "Can you please not bite my ears?"

"I'm used to it, sorry."

The parrot remained calm, letting its beak be grabbed. "Spirit beasts are still beasts, and they inevitably have some special little habits. You have to understand... Waaah, don't pull it, it's a little itchy."

Zhou Chen released his grip.

He felt that the bird was a bit abnormal.

The one-horned Chow Chow chuckled and said, "You're not a great beauty, you're just a colorful female parrot, of course people have opinions."

"Hey!"

Zhou Chen glared at the fat dog, "Don't slander my innocence!"

The one-horned Chow Chow pretended to be stupid again, "Hehehe..."

Su Xuanzhen observed their interaction and inexplicably felt that Zhou Chen seemed to prefer associating with these spirit beasts rather than humans.

Why would Su Xuanzhen think that way?

Because he discovered that since the start of the semester, Zhou Chen had not spoken to any unfamiliar classmates, but had only communicated with the group of people he already knew.

Meanwhile, Xing Keji next door has made at least twenty or thirty new friends, and is currently becoming a more popular figure among the first-year students due to his extensive ability to make friends.

As for Su Xuanzhen himself, he was far inferior to Xing Keji, but not to the extent that he was like Zhou Chen.

After all, coming from a prominent family, he had been involved in various social activities since childhood, and the ability to make friends was the least noticeable skill among them.

"So he really is from a commoner background."

Su Xuanzhen nodded secretly.

He will investigate the members of the school team, and naturally he will also investigate Zhou Chen. Of course, due to the influence of Shen Du Academy, some information may be distorted, but you can still see a lot of things in general.

Chapter 176: Competition? Race!

Huang Zelin is in another arena.

He seemed a little confused when the stork called out the name.

"Me?"

"Yes, it's you, Huang Zelin, a third-year student. Your junior is challenging you to a duel." The Star-Questioning Parrot was very enthusiastic.

Like Fang Xu, Huang Zelin had no room to refuse.

However, compared to Fang Xu, who was somewhat carried away with his success, his mindset was quite stable.

"How does the junior want to play?"

"One-on-one, one game to decide the winner." Zhou Chen's answer was as always.

"can."

He took his position, and the parrot, as usual, pretended to be the referee, but before the match started, it couldn't help but say, "Huang Zelin! Play well! Fang Xu has already lost and gone to do his morning exercises! Don't blame me for not reminding you!"

Huang Zelin was slightly taken aback. "Fang Xu lost?"

"Hey! That's going too far!"

The Chow Chow yelled, "What's the difference between this and leaking exam questions beforehand? Can't the competitive academy afford to lose?"

"What did you say—I'll settle the score with you after the match!"

The angry parrot immediately ruffled its feathers, but considering that Zhou Chen and Huang Zelin were going to fight, it could only say, "Get into position!"

"Three, two, one, summon the card!"

Both sides acted simultaneously.

Zhou Chen's choice goes without saying, and the Black-feathered White Ape appeared as usual.

Huang Zelin's damage-dealing spirit card is a pale white giant python with wings and a single horn, named Cloud Wing Viper, an extremely rare card with sky and water attributes.

This card is very similar to the Lightning Sparrow that Zhou Chen once encountered. It is known for its speed, which is so fast that even the card master himself has difficulty reacting. When fighting against this type of spirit card, prediction is extremely important.

If your prediction is wrong, you're likely to get beaten up.

"go."

Huang Zelin didn't say much, but pointed at the white ape opposite him as if he were manipulating a flying sword.

The voice just fell.

Whoosh!

The air rustled softly as the Cloud Winged Viper vanished from its spot in an instant, appearing before the Black-feathered White Ape in the blink of an eye.

【Cloud Wing Flash】!

Clang!

The blade of the Wind and Thunder Blade collided with the unicorn horn of the Cloud Winged Viper, emitting bright sparks and a crisp explosion.

Su Xuanzhen, who was watching from the sidelines, twitched his eyelids slightly.

Although this move was straightforward and recorded in the intelligence, he had to admit that if he were in that situation, even with prior preparation, he wouldn't have been able to react in time, let alone handle it like Zhou Chen did.

...At least, it absolutely won't work if you don't get mentally charged.

Huang Zelin nodded secretly. He had been challenged by many younger students, some of whom thought he was not worthy of being on the school team and would provoke him.

He often uses this greeting as a surprise attack on his opponents, making them realize the gap between them.

Zhou Chen's block was so precise, no wonder he was able to defeat Fang Xu.

Inside the venue.

"twitter!"

After blocking the sudden attack, the White Ape quickly swung its blade around its wrist to slash, while the Cloud Winged Viper rapidly flapped its translucent wings and retreated.

hum!

Its retreat was as swift as its advance.

However, due to its extreme speed, its trajectory is rather straightforward, resembling a milky white line.

Zhou Chen knew this well, so the white ape's downward slash was a feint.

[Shadowless Instant Strike]!

The black-feathered white ape suddenly revealed its wings and burst forward at incredible speed, its wind and thunder blades swirling wildly towards the location of the cloud-winged viper.

Swish swish!

The blade energy resembled a dense net, enveloping the opponent.

Huang Zelin's eyes flickered slightly, and the slender body of the Cloud Winged Viper suddenly coiled into a ball, spinning rapidly as its wings vibrated.

A gust of wind clashed head-on with the net of blade energy, shattering most of it upon impact.

Even though it was just a few remaining blade energies, when they passed by the Cloud Winged Viper, they still caused several clear lines of blood to appear on its body.

Huang Zelin exclaimed solemnly, "Such high damage!"

The damage output of a Spirit Card skill is most directly reflected in the outcome of a direct confrontation.

The Cloudwing Viper's strength lies in its high damage and high speed; its attacks are even comparable to those of spirit cards that possess spirit objects, yet it has failed in its current confrontation.

What exactly is this card...?

Huang Zelin pondered in secret, but the Cloud Winged Viper did not stop its actions and once again took the initiative to rush towards the Black Feathered White Ape.
