My Card Beast Taming Game

This also makes it easier for him to control the white ape and make it perform sufficiently coherent attack techniques.

Moreover, it is said that when the actions of the card master and the spirit card are synchronized, a mysterious and special bonus will be provided.

Zhou Chen saved a few videos that he considered valuable, and then fell into a deep sleep.

I slept until the middle of the night.

He was inexplicably awakened by the sound of a car starting up. He went up to the second floor and looked out, and sure enough, it was Lu Qingning's house.

On the not-so-wide road, a luxury car slowly drove away, with Grandpa and Grandma Lu reluctantly saying goodbye at the door.

The phone screen lit up; it was a message from Lu Qingning:

"I've gone to summer camp. I left some things for you at the club; go pick them up when you have time. Remember to contact me if you encounter any problems."

Zhou Chen: "..."

He took a deep breath and typed: "Okay, thank you, Sister Lu."

Lu Qingning replied to the message quickly.

"It's alright."

After the initial excitement of unlocking the exclusive weapon and leveling up cooled slightly, Zhou Chen stared at Lu Qingning's house, the scenes from the past few days flashing through his mind. He realized that he was about to return to his former life.

"Forget it, I don't want to."

Zhou Chen decided to find something to do to distract herself.

For example, running a dungeon.

"Chicken—Brother—"

"Cuckoo!"

Captain Changming flapped his wings and entered the room.

When he woke up again, the sky outside the window was clear and blue, and a wave of heat hit him as he opened the door.

summer.

A hot summer.

Zhou Chen squatted in the yard to brush his teeth, while Captain Changming paced back and forth beside him, looking very smug.

After a quick wash, he greeted the elderly couple from the Lu family next door.

"morning!"

"Good morning, Xiaochen! Ningning's off to school!"

"Yes, I know, she told me."

Zhou Chen nodded and left the village, taking a car to the club to retrieve the things Lu Qingning had left for him.

They arrived at the club smoothly in no time. The hostess at the door was already familiar with Zhou Chen's face, and with Lu Qingning having given prior notice, they quickly received a briefcase.

In the private lounge, he opened his suitcase.

The items that came into view were two palm-sized bottles, a black club membership card, and a letter.

Zhou Chen opened the bottle, smelled it, and sighed, "Sister Lu..."

Even though he was not particularly knowledgeable, he knew that it contained a spiritual energy supplement that was even more advanced than the Spirit-Replenishing Elixir: the [Spirit-Gathering Pill], a rare item that was difficult to find on the market.

One of these is enough for a trainee card master to eat for a month, and the amount Lu Qingning gave him is enough for him to eat for two years.

Of course, this is assuming he hasn't been promoted to junior level.

There was no need to look at the club membership card much; Zhou Chen finally opened the letter.

The letter was handwritten and contained very little information. It first mentioned the Spirit Gathering Pill, and Lu Qingning said it was a loan to him, which he could repay at the Divine Capital Academy when he had the money.

Secondly, there's the issue of the membership card. He's already registered under the name of this "Five Nations" club, making him a special member here.

From then on, his personal information was protected by the Five Nations Association. He did not have to report to the association every month, could enjoy many preferential treatments, and did not have to pay membership fees.

The deadline is the same: the day he goes to the Divine Capital Academy and returns the membership card.

In addition, the letter said that if he couldn't go to the secret realm to train and earn money, he could consider participating in the Spirit Card Competition. There are small competitions like that in Maple City and the surrounding cities, and the prizes are quite generous.

For example, Han Baobao's family holds events from time to time; you can check them out.

last of the last.

Lu Qingning left behind four words—

"Keep it up, Xiao Chen!"

As Zhou Chen read the letter, a warm feeling suddenly welled up in his heart, reminding him of things from his childhood.

The elementary school Chinese teacher assigned homework, asking students to write a letter to their best friend. Lu Qingning wrote to him, and in the end, she left behind these four words.

Lu Qingning actually remembered this.

A warm current flowed up his heart, warming his face, nose, and eyes, turning into a sour feeling.

But Zhou Chen was surprisingly calm at this moment. The ups and downs of his emotions made him feel a mix of feelings. If his mental strength hadn't increased significantly a few days ago, it would probably have increased again now.

He quietly put everything back properly and was about to open the door to leave when he saw a beautiful woman with a captivating figure standing quietly in the corridor.

She smiled and said, "Young Master Zhou—"

Zhou Chen interrupted her, "Just call me Zhou Chen."

"Then I'll call you Zhou Chen."

The woman's smile was very friendly. "You are now a special member of our club. I am the staff member responsible for receiving you. My name is Ding Yinan. You can tell me about any problems you encounter in the club."

Zhou Chen nodded, then suddenly asked, "Does the club have any instructors who teach card masters fighting techniques and how to use certain weapons?"

"You mean a physical training coach?"

Ding Yinan smiled and said, "Of course, I can arrange it for you right away if you need it."

Zhou Chen naturally wanted to hurry, "Please."

Chapter 45: Physical Training Coach (Please continue reading!!!)

Ding Yinan acted very quickly.

Once she learned that Zhou Chen needed a cold weapon instructor, she found one in just half an hour.

"Physical training coaching is a popular profession among ordinary people, and even many card players do this job."

Ding Yinan said softly, "The person who is about to arrive is Master Zhao Shiping, a famous martial arts coach in Fengcheng. His swordsmanship also meets your requirements, and is called 'Hidden Edge of the Great Sword'."

Hiding the blade?

Zhou Chen couldn't help but start to imagine the corresponding sword moves.

At this moment, the two were in a semi-enclosed training field, with soft mats laid under their feet and around them.

The Five Kingdoms Club has many similar training grounds where you can summon spirit cards but are prohibited from using skills. Perhaps due to this rule, Lu Qingning has never brought him here.

After all, Sister Lu has a strong destructive urge. Every time she trains, she can't help but make the Netherflame Lion spit a fireball, just like canceling the aftercast animation of a normal attack.

During a casual chat with Ding Yinan... or rather, through her unilateral attempts to find topics to talk about, Zhou Chen learned that she was not only the manager of this club's branch, but also a junior cardholder.

Did a junior card specialist come all the way here to serve him? Sister Lu's card is indeed very powerful.

Moreover, this way, I won't have to report to the association every month, saving me a hassle.

"Sorry I'm late!"

A robust middle-aged man hurriedly arrived and bowed to the two men in apology.

This man was undoubtedly Zhao Shiping, the martial arts instructor. Ding Yinan smiled and said to him, "Master Zhao, this is your student Zhou Chen. I entrust him with your careful instruction from now on."

"I'm flattered, Manager Ding. Please give Zhou and Zhou Chen your guidance."

Zhao Shiping was very amiable, and indeed he couldn't be tough in front of the card master.

Martial arts training, if not combined with spirit cards, is merely a means of making a living; the ordinary human body is utterly insignificant in the face of spirit cards.

Ding Yinan didn't say much, smiled and left the training ground, leaving the two of them alone.

Zhao Shiping stated directly, "From what Manager Ding is saying, you want to learn knife skills?"

Zhou Chen nodded. "Yes, I have a spirit card with a knife... Would you mind if I summon it?"

"please."

Zhao Shiping's muscles tensed slightly.

The strength of Bronze-tier spirit cards varies greatly, with the lower limit being able to easily defeat ordinary people, while the upper limit being able to eat fighting masters like candy.

A member who can be entertained by Ding Yinan must be a good one.

As he pondered, the White Ape entered the arena.

Zhao Shiping was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "You've really come to the right person. Not many people know how to use this kind of broadsword, and my concealed-edge broadsword is just right!"

Ado.

He found a wooden knife at the edge of the training field and began practicing with Zhou Chen.

The so-called "Hidden Edge of the Great Sword" is based on defensive and connecting movements such as blocking, intercepting, and wrapping around the head, so that when the opponent reveals a weakness, it will strike fiercely and deliver a fatal blow.

This is undoubtedly the most effortless and most suitable way to use a large sword that is not commensurate with one's body size.

After quickly going through it once, Zhao Shiping said, "Next, I will slow down the pace. You can practice with me, or have Lingka practice with me."

After a moment's thought, Zhou Chen decided to practice on his own first, and then extend the practice to the White Ape, which would help him deepen his understanding.

Some card players will have their spirit cards practice directly for convenience, but this is basically no different from directly watching online videos. It's better not to hire a physical training coach and save money.

Zhou Chen naturally didn't pay. Ding Yinan said it was a member benefit, but as for the specific benefits, he could only say there was too much content for him to read all at once.

"Please give me more advice."

Zhou Chen took a wooden knife.

Zhao Shiping secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As an ordinary person who frequents various card player clubs, Zhao Shiping occasionally encounters unreasonable demands.

For example, he might be required to engage in actual combat with Lingka, such as a real fight with swords and spears.

Similar situations are common not only in him but throughout the entire martial arts world. Some people can refuse, while others simply cannot.

As a result, various bloody incidents occurred one after another, and what was even more frustrating was that they had to be downplayed and ignored afterward.

But given how dangerous it is, why do so many people try to join this line of work?

Naturally, it's because the compensation is exceptionally generous!

Ordinary people may awaken their spiritual power even in their fifties or sixties. Most people are unwilling to give up their dream of becoming a card master and frantically make money so that they can use it after becoming a card master in the future.

Some impatient ones even bought cards early on to prepare.

Zhao Shiping is in his early forties. He firmly believes that after becoming a card master, he will be stronger than most people!

Each class lasts forty minutes, with two classes a day and a ten-minute break in between.

Through Zhao Shiping's initiative, Zhou Chen learned about the popularity of physical training coaches.

In the land of Zhuxia, various demons and monsters naturally possess weapons within the secret realm, such as the swamp frog demons of the Water Marsh Secret Realm. Therefore, more than half of the novice card masters will choose humanoid spirit cards.

Those who were armed were countless.

To unleash the full potential of these humanoid spirit cards, one must naturally learn how to use the corresponding weapons, thus giving rise to the martial arts coaching industry.

Zhou Chen had looked into it before, but because he was short of money and couldn't afford a coach, he could only practice by watching online videos.

After another lesson, he gained a basic understanding of how to make the White Ape King wield the Wind and Thunder Blade.

"Shall we add each other as friends and schedule the next class?" Zhao Shiping asked tentatively.

Zhou Chen nodded. "Mm."

The other party is very professional in teaching people and provides a lot of emotional value. Since it's free, I might as well learn more and learn more deeply.

He's not so arrogant as to think that two lessons are enough.

Since Zhao Shiping happened to be free recently, Zhou Chen simply booked the whole week, since he didn't have anything to do at the moment.
