My Card Beast Taming Game

Page 37

Using the silk threads of the Fiery Spider continuously took a heavy toll on her, not to mention that she had to concentrate her mental energy to the extreme in order to block the White Ape's evasion path.

It's important to know that there's a significant difference between a novice card master and a trainee card master.

Ding Yinan added, "If you'd like to practice your reaction coordination, you can go to the club's specialized training room."

"Such a place exists?"

Zhou Chen became interested.

Ding Yinan nodded, "Yes, I'll take you there after the sparring session."

The next activity was offensive skills practice.

"Attack at will."

She gestured for Zhou Chen to continue attacking the Fiery Spider.

Zhou Chen naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony with her. Sensing that the White Ape's Wind and Thunder Escape skill was ready, he immediately ordered it to charge forward!

In an instant, a white shadow flashed!

Ding Yinan felt a blur before her eyes and then the white ape disappeared again.

She remained calm and quickly guided the molten silk spider into the jagged rocks beside her. Its eight legs moved nimbly on the rock peaks, propelling its massive body.

But when the White Ape reappeared, it was high in the sky, right above the Fire Spider's head.

It whirled and swung its long sword, suddenly striking the long leg of the molten silk fire spider, leaving a white mark.

Clang!

The cracking sound was deafening, as if it had struck steel.

But as the longsword collided with the spider's leg, a wisp of electricity surged into the molten silk fire spider's body, leaving subtle lightning marks on the blade.

Infinitely hit one layer!

As Ding Yinan watched the white ape continue chasing the molten silk fire spider, she suddenly realized why the other party always appeared in mid-air.

So Zhou Chen can't see it either?

Once a trainee card master can no longer see a spirit card, it's as if the link has been lost, and the spirit card itself will cease to function.

To avoid crashing and being knocked away by the moving Fiber Spider, Zhou Chen chose to jump into the air at the right moment and continue transmitting commands after it reappeared.

Pity.

Ding Yinan looked regretful. If Zhou Chen could sense the spirit card, this skill would be even more useful...

Huh?

Abnormal state?

A sense of difficulty suddenly arose in Ding Yinan's heart, and he found that the speed of his Molten Wire Fire Spider had dropped significantly.

At the same time, the white ape began frantically chopping at the strange rocks standing nearby.

Its blade suddenly became so sharp that it could cut through iron like mud, easily slicing any stone in its path in two.

Is it some kind of skill?

Bronze cards have at most two skills, one active and one passive, making it difficult for Ding Yinan to determine their effectiveness.

She made the Fire Fiber Spiders spit out their webs, using the fire webs to create a highly elastic trampoline, allowing the Fire Fiber Spiders to jump to extremely high places.

Just as Ding Yinan was looking for a place to stay far away from the White Ape, she discovered that the White Ape had disappeared for the third time.

Did you jump?

Spider silk!

She manipulated the molten silk spider to spray molten silk, propelling her body away into the distance.

This area, which is fifty meters long and thirty meters wide, is quite spacious, offering plenty of places to hide.

Just keep a little distance—

Ding Yinan's pupils suddenly dilated; she realized that the White Ape was not in mid-air!

Chapter 49: Fighting Monsters Above Their Level (Please Read On!!)

Ding Yinan looked up, spurred by habitual thinking.

By the time she realized there was no White Ape in the air and started searching among the rocks, Zhou Chen had already spotted the landing point of the Molten Thread Fire Spider.

A charged attack—

Hundred-Explosion Kill!

The White Ape King hurled the Wind and Thunder Blade like a javelin, its lightning-fast strike piercing the face of the Molten Wire Fire Spider and embedding itself deep within.

A critical hit equivalent to 200% of the base damage allows White Ape to easily break through the defense of a Silver-tier Spirit Card.

The Fiery Silk Spider froze for a moment, then turned into dust from head to toe and vanished.

This symbolizes the card creatures completely losing their vitality.

Zhou Chen was slightly taken aback: "...Ah, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, it's common for sparring partners."

While Ding Yinan felt somewhat sorry for her spirit card, she was more shocked by the White Ape's high attack power.

Keep in mind that its first strike couldn't even penetrate the outer shell, but the last one pierced right through.

This spirit card is incredible!

Although the Fiery Spider isn't exactly a Silver card with outstanding defense, it's still a Silver card!

"Would you like to continue with the practical application phase?"

Ding Yinan summoned the Molten Fiery Spider again and asked with a smile.

Zhou Chen would not refuse.

Or perhaps the reason for seeking out a novice card master for sparring is simply to try out real combat; the dodging and attacking practice just now was nothing more than a trial run.

Since the White Ape King has the ability to blast the Fiery Silk Spider, then—

Three minutes later.

Zhou Chen silently watched the white ape that had almost turned into roast meat, then looked at the molten silk fire spider that had only lost two legs, and said to Ding Yinan, "I admire you, I lose."

He believed that his opponent hadn't held back during practice, putting in a lot of effort in both attacking and dodging.

But why did they become so much stronger when combined?

It's not even at the level of 1+1=2 anymore!

Just as the internet says—the lower limit depends on the Spirit Card, and the upper limit depends on the Card Master.

Ding Yinan smiled and said, "You still need to cultivate more practical experience. Sometimes, spirit card battles are not just a simple back-and-forth game. But with your talent, I believe you will grow quickly!"

Zhou Chen had heard this said by many people; it all conveyed the same meaning—

You're not strong enough!

What can he do?

practice!

"Do you think I have a chance of winning if it's a Silver-tier monster?"

Zhou Chen asked another question.

Ding Yinan said, "That depends on what kind of monster the opponent is. As you know, Silver-rank monsters are all different, and they are generally more durable than Spirit Cards..."

She then changed the subject, saying, "You can give it a try. I think your spirit card attack can threaten a Silver-ranked player."

Zhou Chen understood.

This is something that seems possible, but I'm not sure I can guarantee it.

After all, it's too shocking for a Bronze-ranked player to challenge a Silver-ranked player.

Afterwards, Ding Yinan took him to the training room for practicing reaction speed. It was a nearly enclosed room with cylindrical firing ports on all sides.

She explained, "The launcher will fire bouncy balls according to the usage level. You can dodge them or try to retaliate. The room's defense level is very high, easily withstanding attacks from bronze-level spirit cards."

The appearance of monsters made the materials in this world much better than in the previous world, which had an impact on all aspects of life. However, since card masters dominated society, technological development was mainly focused on enjoyment.

Higher-strength materials serve only the needs of card makers, rather than benefiting all of humanity.

Ding Yinan demonstrated it once.

Zhou Chen noticed that it was somewhat similar to the game the male protagonist played at the beginning of "Accel World," and it was indeed able to improve reaction time and speed.

Then, she introduced Zhou Chen to the room next door used to test the power of spirit card attacks. After the high-intensity dummies were hit, the scores would be displayed on a large screen not far away.

Quantitative data helps card traders observe whether their capabilities have improved.

Incidentally, it can also be used to test the quality of spirit cards, as many spirit cards have different basic stats and even different skill damage.

After learning about the two devices, Zhou Chen thanked Ding Yinan with satisfaction, and then enthusiastically began using the reaction room.

Ding Yinan stroked her cracked card, marveling at the boundless energy of children.

Despite her youthful appearance, she is actually close to forty years old. She maintains her youthful appearance thanks to the reshaping of her body by her mental power.

However, Zhou Chen clearly possesses a rare spirit card and is treated as a VIP by the club.

But why does he act like a novice in every aspect?

Doesn't he learn this at home?

Ding Yinan didn't think about it for too long, and dared not delve into the reasons behind it; some gossip in the world of card masters wasn't so sweet.

If you're going to eat gossip, you can only eat gossip from people of the same social standing.

Zhou Chen practiced until 4 p.m. before taking a shower and getting on the bus home.

After arriving home, he logged onto the competition registration website and found that the increase in the number of participants was not as much as he had imagined; so far, there were only 15,000 participants.

Tens of thousands of people are vying for it.

He felt a strange sense of anticipation and turned to look at the white ape sitting in the rocking chair as if taking a nap. "We're about to try the advanced dungeon. Are you confident?"

"Cuckoo!"

Captain Changming strode confidently forward.

The White Ape, who is currently only at the Bronze rank, is destined to be unable to respond to him, so Chicken Brother has taken his place.

evening.

Zhou Chen returned to the woods far from the village, and just to be on the safe side, he decided to have the bronze statue accompany him once more.

Boom!

The tall and imposing bronze statue landed, its exaggerated weight causing its feet to bury themselves deep in the pile of dead leaves and weeds.

"Buzzing—"

The echo was deep and resonant, as if the interior were hollow.

Zhou Chen gently patted its sturdy, antique bronze armor and said softly, "I'll have to rely on you to protect me today!"

"Buzz!"

The Colossus of Red Bronze responded swiftly.
