My Card Beast Taming Game

Zhou Chen: "..."

Why do all the new spirit cards that have arrived lately seem a bit off?

He said to the spirit of the deep sea, who was mopping the floor, "Stop rolling! The floor is clean enough! Come back!"

"Boom~"

The spirit of the deep sea obediently took flight.

After Captain Changming dried the cloth strips, Zhou Chen released the Black Tiger Demon from its summons, and the Evil Tiger Talisman reappeared in the box.

He put on gloves and began to wrap the outer layer of the evil tiger tally.

He was actually very curious as to why Chongxuan didn't just wrap it up for him and then give it to him, but instead made him wrap it up himself.

He probably thought he could fix it himself if the cloth strip got torn someday.

Zhou Chen silently coiled around it. At first, when there was a chance that the black mist would drift into his nose, he would tilt his head back to avoid it. But when he realized that he didn't feel anything after inhaling it, he simply stopped caring.

"Can this thing really corrupt me?"

He was very skeptical.

However, Zhou Chen felt there was no need to do something so reckless that he was bound to fail.

After wrapping it up tightly, he took off his gloves and picked up the Tiger Talisman. "Not bad, no gaps!"

The game panel stopped popping up to remind everyone of its presence.

I've officially acquired my first real-world artifact!

Although there were quite a few spiritual items in the game panel, this was the first real spiritual artifact he had ever encountered, apart from the broken Wind and Thunder Blade.

Significance.

It's a pity it was a murder weapon...

The description seems to suggest that this thing killed a great many living beings.

How many can be killed?

How many cards did the card masters kill?

Card players worldwide kill hundreds of millions of monsters every day, unless monsters are not considered living beings.

Night fell quickly, and Zhou Chen led the black tiger demon into its old home.

With the combined power of the three golden cards—Spirit of the Sea, Long-sounding Captain, and Cloud Witch—he no longer needs to worry about being chased by a lone monster.

Just stand a little further away to watch the show.

"Does this look familiar? It's your hometown."

Zhou Chen pointed to the grove of trees.

The black tiger demon scratched its head and roared in a low voice, "Awooo..."

It has no relevant memories. The spirit card is a blank sheet of paper from the very beginning. What colors are on it depends entirely on what the card master paints.

This left Zhou Chen with a sense of regret.

He had previously found a broken Wind and Thunder Blade in the Monkey Realm, and there will probably be an Evil Tiger Talisman in the Tiger King instance as well.

He doesn't mind duplicate magical artifacts; he can use them as storage containers.

It's such a waste to leave it in the dungeon!

"I hope I'll have that luck," he muttered.

After leaving the dungeon, Zhou Chen opened the monthly sign-in to claim diamonds. The sign-in had been refreshed a few days ago, but unfortunately, it still didn't give him anything good, only diamonds and various materials.

Once you get past the beginner phase, start being frugal!

As expected of you!

Fortunately, we had enough diamonds.

Zhou Chen was quite satisfied with his stockpile of over 4,500 diamonds. "Let's save them up and do something big when the time is almost here!"

The gacha pool is only available for three months, and only one month has passed so far. There are still two months left to save up diamonds.

Damn it, he's going to empty this pool!

The next day.

Zhou Chen showed his teammates the Evil Tiger Talisman, and Su Xuanzhen also revealed the magical artifact he had obtained from the school team.

【Frog-patterned cymbal】.

This is an ancient musical instrument that resembles a large bell. Once the Soul-Soothing Frog possesses it, the range of its buff will increase significantly.

The special effect is that it changes the skill from one of attack or defense buffs to one where both buffs can be triggered simultaneously, and the increase in buff magnitude also increases.

The additional passive skill is [Soothing Sound Wave]. As long as it keeps chirping, teammates will receive a small amount of health restoration every time they use a skill.

Absolutely perfect!

"We're invincible now!"

Su Xuanzhen said excitedly, "You can use your Black Tiger Demon as a damage dealer! You can even utilize your teammates!"

Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was talking about.

Lin Meng was puzzled, "Using teammates..."

Su Xuanzhen explained to her, "I was thinking about this yesterday. Instead of giving our lives to our opponents, we should wait until we're low on health and then give our lives to the Black Tiger Demon to trigger the Tiger's Lackey. That way, we won't lose any of our comrades! If the Black Tiger Demon eats us later, it'll be like it has eighteen lives to eat!"

"what!"

Lin Meng suddenly realized, "That's right! This card will be very powerful in team battles!"

The Chow Chow clicked its tongue and said, "This is a ferocious beast. It not only eats its opponents, but also its teammates."

But no one had any objections.

Since we're going to die anyway, we might as well do something for our teammates.

Zhou Chen thought that if all eighteen lives were consumed, the Black Tiger Demon's stats would probably increase to an absurd level.

And as training began, everyone actually did just that.

Especially Lin Meng, whose death was meaningless before, has now become the team's food supply for victory!

The teaching assistants also felt something was off, "This card is strange."

Was it that strong yesterday?

"How come Hengzhen always manages to produce such strange cards!"

They soon suffered their first defeat.

The reason is simple: the more they fight, the more numerous and stronger their opponents become!

With the help of his teammates, the Black Tiger Demon did not get as many as eighteen lives, but he still managed to get thirteen or fourteen lives.

Originally less than three meters tall, it grew to nearly six meters, almost doubling in size!

Not to mention the numerical aspects.

"We can't hold on! We simply can't hold on!"

Even the last survivor, the wounded one, was no match for the Black Tiger Demon. Its massive claws slammed down, embedding it directly into the ground.

During the post-match debriefing, the assistant coaches advised, "Don't use this card in the Autumn Season. Save it for the semifinals of the Zhuxia General Tournament or another time!"

"Ah."

Zhou Chen nodded.

It's perfect for scheming against people.

Having tasted the benefits of suppressing multiple spiritual artifacts, Su Xuanzhen looked forward to tomorrow's training camp even more.

The training camp is a test of his strength by the family. If he performs well enough, the Su family will provide him with spiritual artifact support.

In both the individual and team competitions, new students from the school team also applied for and received magical artifacts.

Lu Qingning is not included in this list.

"The head instructor said my top priority is to make good use of the Netherflame Lion's magical artifact; I can't bite off more than I can chew." There was a hint of complaint in her tone.

The importance of dual spirit weapons in individual competitions far exceeds that in team competitions; sometimes, a single spirit weapon can be the key to determining the outcome of a match.

There are only five spots available in both the individual and team individual competitions, two of which have already been secured by Jin Siye and Li Feijin.

Lu Qingning was confident, but she also wanted to be more cautious.

Zhou Chen pondered, "How about..."

"Don't."

Lu Qingning resolutely refused, and then said, "I know that what the head instructor said is actually true. The effects of Netherfire and Water Fiend are similar, but my win rate is low when sparring with Xuanshan, so there must be something wrong with me."

She paused for a moment, then said, "Once I can beat him 100%, I believe all the difficulties will be resolved."

Chapter 203: Training Camp Departure (45/228)

The second week of October.

The planned training camp has arrived.

After a week apart, over a hundred members of the school team gathered at a pier, preparing to head to the Tianhe Arena on Tianhe Island in the capital.

Why not hold it on Shintoin Island?

Firstly, Chongxuan hoped to cultivate the team members' ability to fight outside the school in advance, so as to avoid a decline in combat effectiveness due to unfamiliarity with the environment when fighting away from home.

There are precedents for this.

Secondly, while aristocratic families and sects cooperate with each other, they are also wary of one another. To maintain the purity of the school and avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, finding a third-party venue is the most suitable option.

The Tianhe Arena is a newly built arena in recent years, with quite complete facilities. Tianhe Island is located southwest of Shendu Academy. Originally, it was just an ordinary island in the sea near Shendu, but it became prosperous due to the appearance of a medium-sized secret realm, and even the island's name was changed.

The Tianhe Cross-Sea Bridge, which was completed five years ago, is known as one of the Hundred Great Bridges of China, and there are plans to reclaim land from the sea.

Whether the plan will be approved is another matter.

"I haven't been back to a mainland city for a month, and I'm inexplicably starting to miss it..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Are the Divine Capital Academy and the Lesser Divine Capital Academy really that small? How could they make you feel like you're far from the mainland? Besides, we're not even going to the Divine Capital mainland this time."

"Just saying."

"There should be free time during this outing, right?"

"What, what do you want?"

"What do you think I want to do? Hehehe~"

"Hehehe~"

The surrounding students on the school team were laughing and joking, full of anticipation for the upcoming training camp.

After gradually getting used to the training rhythm of the school team, a sense of boredom set in, and everyone longed for something new.

Especially the four teams in the group competition, who had been "tortured" by the assistant coaches for nearly a week, were eager to regain their confidence from the club members.

Although the invited teams were mainly the top clubs in Shen Du Yuan, they remained confident.

After all, if the clubs could rival the Card Master Academy, then the holy land that countless young card masters would yearn for should be the three major clubs, not the three major academies.

Standing in the crowd, Zhou Chen looked around and noticed that not only had the school team grown, but among these strangers were also a few familiar faces: "Old Xing?"

"Old Zhou!"

Xing Keji chuckled and approached, "Long time no see!"

The two had indeed not seen each other for some time, and Zhou Chen hadn't expected to run into him here. "How come you..."

"I'm in logistics."

Xing Keji blinked. "I've joined the student council, the administration department."

The participants in this training camp included not only the students and coaches of the school team, but also the entire school team's logistics team.

All in all, there are probably more than two hundred people.
