My Card Beast Taming Game

The pressure caused the player in position six to be highly tense. He didn't know what the two had discussed, but he was constantly on edge.

However, with the significant depletion of mental energy, the thread suddenly snapped.

He failed to control the rolling speed of the four-armed boulder perfectly, causing it to roll faster and faster. Eventually, due to its own mass, the high-speed rolling boulder became uncontrollable. Like a truck braking at high speed, it ran over the dent previously made by the coral man-eating shark and flew out of the arena in an arc.

Boom!

It crashed headfirst into the wire mesh at the edge of the area.

The giant tiger and Qinglin Tong launched a swift attack. Qinglin Tong first used ultra-low temperature flames to roast it until it was charred and crispy, and then the giant tiger slapped it down with its palm.

The four-armed rolling stone immediately collapsed and turned into rubble all over the ground.

He slumped down in the sixth seat, panting heavily.

There were only two players left on the field.

Zhou Chen and the number seven looked at each other. They had also expended a lot of mental energy, but they could definitely continue fighting if they wanted to.

Which college are you from?

"I haven't taken the entrance exam for any college yet."

"No?"

The boy in position seven paused, then sighed and said, "Oh, I see..."

He sighed, "I know my Blood-Striped Tiger is probably no match for you. Let me exchange one of your other spirit cards. If I lose, I'll admit defeat."

"Row."

Zhou Chen agreed.

Giant Tiger was recalled by the boy in position seven. He replaced it with a ferocious beast that looked like a gargoyle, clearly intending to engage Zhou Chen in aerial combat.

But he didn't expect that Zhou Chen would also switch.

"you--"

"I trust it more."

Zhou Chen smiled and exchanged a glance with the reappearing White Ape. He knew that this spirit card, named Rockwing Beast, had no ranged attack capabilities.

Since there is none, then close combat is inevitable.

There's no reason for the White Ape to lose in close combat!

"bring it on!"

"Gah!"

The Rockwing Beast let out a terrifying, intimidating roar, and like a vampire descending from the sky, it spread its enormous black wings and pounced on the White Ape.

The White Ape King's only response was a single slash.

Clang!

The gleaming blades illuminated the sky!

Chapter 71: Can Reconciliation Be Reached?

On his way home after a resounding victory, Zhou Chen learned of news from Shi Xiaodong's side—

He lost.

The chaotic battle required card masters to control their spirit cards, to have good spirit card skills, and even to have good luck. As the relatively weaker party, Shi Xiaodong was targeted by the main force from the start.

It's a pity that we were just one step away from the top 64.

Previously, Zhou Chen only thought the rewards for the top-ranked contestants were quite generous, but now that he has a deeper understanding of the value of the Yuzhong Cup, he can't help but think that the organizers are ridiculously stingy.

If you don't make it into the top 64, the only prizes are discount coupons of varying amounts.

He sent a message to comfort Shi Xiaodong, who said he was prepared to give up becoming a competitive card player and instead go to the secret realm to make money like before.

Being a competitive card player is really tough!

Especially for young card masters like him who are "over-aged," they are not too old to be considered old, but no card master academy would want them if they were too young.

Returning to the secret realm is the best choice.

Buzz!

My phone vibrated.

It was a message from position seven.

When the competition ended, the other person took the initiative to add him as a friend, introducing himself as a first-year student at Yuzhou College, and saying that if Zhou Chen was interested in enrolling at Yuzhou College, he could contact him later.

Unfortunately, I am destined to go to the Divine Capital Academy.

"Top 64!"

Zhou Chen stretched, hoping the upcoming matches would be easier; multi-player melees were indeed quite exhausting.

correct!

He quickly relayed the good news to Lu Qingning, even though she was still active in the secret realm and her last reply was three days ago.

It's a pity there's no one to share this joy with.

Zhou Chen yawned and hugged Captain Changming, who had just entered the room and flapped his wings to fly over.

"Brother Chicken~"

"Cuckoo~"

As his mental strength continued to improve, Captain Changming's self-awareness became clearer and clearer, and at this point he was no less powerful than Lu Qingning's lion.

It is believed that once Zhou Chen advances to the level of a junior card master, Captain Changming's intelligence will grow to a level comparable to that of a human child.

afternoon.

After taking a short nap, Zhou Chen went to the club as usual.

Today's chaotic battle exposed many shortcomings in his combat skills. To ensure he doesn't falter in the upcoming matches, he must further improve his melee weapon handling techniques.

As soon as he entered the club lobby, a graceful lady led Lu Lang toward him.

Zhou Chen's expression changed slightly.

Is this a case of calling for an adult when you can't win a fight?

You really can't accept defeat!

His gaze quickly shifted elsewhere, searching for Ding Yinan's figure, hoping she could help him out of the predicament like last time.

Unfortunately, Ding Yinan is not here.

Just as Zhou Chen was feeling awkward, the woman who approached him gave him an apologetic look. "Zhou Chen, I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm Lu Lang's mother. I think there might be some misunderstanding between you and Lang Lang."

Lang Lang?

Zhou Chen subconsciously looked at Lu Lang behind the woman and found that he had turned his head away with a frustrated expression, just like a child being called to the head of the household.

"Auntie, what's wrong...?"

"I heard Langlang talk about what happened last time. He was deceived by that girl..." the woman said softly.

Zhou Chen got the gist of it and understood that the other party had come to seek reconciliation.

Good thing!

Although Lu Lang is a complete idiot, he can't just kill him like a monster. The best thing would be to resolve this inexplicable conflict and become strangers from then on.

Get out of my life right now!

Zhou Chen shouted inwardly, but responded politely on the surface.

In the end, Lu Lang was forced to apologize by the woman, who then gave him a bag as a token of her appreciation before leaving.

"..."

Zhou Chen took a picture of the bag with his phone and sent it to Lu Qingning: "That idiot's mother came to apologize and even forced something on me."

I need to use Lu Qingning's influence to make things clear with her, so as to avoid any misunderstandings in the future.

Ignoring these minor incidents, Zhou Chen focused all his attention on practicing with Zhao Shiping, and his proficiency increased day by day.

That evening, the first day of the multi-player elimination tournament concluded, with a total of 32 players emerging and their names published on the Yuzhong Cup official website and various video websites.

Zhou Chen's outstanding performance and his lack of membership in any card academy made him a target of public criticism.

Many card game academies in Yuzhong called him that very night, inviting him to enroll.

Zhou Chen politely declined each offer, clearly stating his desire to apply to Shendu Academy. However, only a small number of the admissions offices gave up, while most of the others told him to think it over carefully and not to rush into rejection.

Getting into one of the top three institutes is not an easy task for a trainee card maker.

Zhou Chen knew perfectly well what was going on.

"We're trying! We're trying!"

Full of fighting spirit, he only watched the replays and clips of the matches for the next three days, and did not go to the venue to watch them live as he had done before. He also declined Gao Liang's invitation.

On the second night of the grand finals, the multi-player elimination rounds in the Bronze and Silver divisions came to an end, and all 64 finalists were determined.

—Mei Xian has advanced.

This young girl, who also hadn't applied to any universities, immediately attracted more attention.

After all, she was in the Silver tier, where the competition was far more intense than that of the Bronze tier.

Even if the main players from the various school teams in Yuzhong do not participate in this kind of competition, it is enough to prove Mei Xian's high level of talent, making her an instant hot commodity.

Zhou Chen became less noticeable, which was exactly what he wanted.

He didn't want to receive too much extra attention, even for the predetermined outcome of participating in such a competition and advancing to the next round.

Fortunately, Lu Qingning finally emerged from the secret realm and responded to each of the numerous messages she had received.

She rarely praised Zhou Chen's achievements and hoped that he could continue to work hard.

Regarding Lu Lang's mother's gift, Lu Qingning said that if there's a free benefit, why not take it?

"He's been disgusting you for so long, isn't this some kind of emotional compensation?"

At the same time, she didn't ignore Mei Xian's part. Although she only replied with the three words "It's fine", it was clear that she had calmed down.

I wonder what Mei Xian thinks of Lu Qingning.

Zhou Chen looked through the gifts Lu Lang's mother had given him and found two large boxes of rather expensive spiritual supplements and a bearer check for two million.

The contents of those two boxes of supplements were sold by the gram, with a total value of around five million.

It's a pity he can't use it; it's too nourishing.

The returns are very low for trainee card masters; it's better to wait until you're promoted to junior card master before taking it.

Day 3 of the finals.

Zhou Chen returned from Jincheng next door after finishing another round of competition.

The opponents weren't very strong, which confirmed his initial thought after watching other multiplayer knockout matches.

Everyone's strength seems to be about the same!

Anyway, after watching the entire recording, he didn't find anyone who single-handedly defeated the remaining seven.

The overall competition process was basically similar to his match, with participants spontaneously surrounding one person, then gradually eliminating others, and finally facing off in twos and threes.

There are very few adversaries to be wary of.

Chapter 72: Miniature Breath of Earth

However, Mei Xian was unable to continue shining brightly.

Compared to Zhou Chen, who advanced smoothly, she, who luckily qualified, ultimately suffered a crushing defeat on her way to the top 32.

This left Zhou Chen, who was secretly watching the other party, feeling quite regretful.

"The novice card master is still a bit too arrogant."

He flipped through the matches in the Silver Division, wondering how far he could have lasted if he were in that position.
