Card Creator: My Cards Unlimited Chain.

Chapter 854 Transformation!

Bang!
The moment the pressure lock collapsed, the expressions of the three people outside the glass wall tensed instantly.

"Wen Yang!"

Cheng Mingye shouted, but before he could speak, Wen Yang had already placed his hand on the totem array on the control panel. Several emergency totems were instantly activated, ready to teleport Yu Cang out of the room at any time.

And... to control or kill Li Anjiu!
Li Anjiu is a valuable research subject, but its value is incomparable to that of Yu Cang.

Now that they possess all of Madam Yu's evil knowledge, given enough time, they can completely replicate the case of Li Anjiu.

If Yu Cang were to personally lead the experiment, he might even be able to produce a more perfect sample than Li Anjiu.

Therefore, when a crisis comes, their decision will be no surprise—kill Li Anjiu and protect Yu Cang!
Li Anjiu, transformed into a barbaric being... his destructive power is truly terrifying.

Its panel data and straightforward capabilities allow it to easily crush legendary opponents.

If one is not careful, the crimson storm can slice a Soul Card Master into a bloody mist.

Therefore, when they saw the Lock of Absolute Pressure explode, the hearts of the three of them were in their throats.

But... the unexpected event they had anticipated did not occur.

A crimson, misty light continuously surged from Li Anjiu's body, converging towards the soul card at Yu Cang's fingertip. Before long, all the light had been absorbed into that soul card, and then—

Bang!
Li Anjiu seemed to suddenly collapse from exhaustion, and fell heavily to the ground.

At that moment, he felt as if he had just gone through a life-or-death ordeal. Cold sweat instantly soaked through his clothes. He lay on the ground, hunched over, panting heavily.

Clearly, he's in a very bad state right now, but...

No desolation!
Wen Yang narrowed his eyes slightly.

He knew all too well that the Absolute Pressure Lock on Li Anjiu's wrist was the key to curbing the desolate people's transformation.

Once Li Anjiu's mental stress returns to normal, a breakdown is inevitable.

but now……

Zhao Yang remained silent to the side.

Although the situation is still unclear, based on his understanding of Cang...

It should be a success.

That's really... as devastating as ever.

Judging from Yu Cang's appearance, it was completely effortless... He had only been in the house for a few tens of minutes, and he had solved a problem that had been bothering them for a long time in a very casual manner?

Sure enough, the gap hasn't narrowed at all.

Zhao Yang sighed.

I thought he had grown up fast enough during this time... tsk.

Forget it, he's Yu Cang after all, I can't compare.

……

In the room
"Ha ha!"

Li Anjiu was panting heavily on the ground for a long time before he gradually calmed down.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

He coughed a few times and struggled to his feet, supporting himself on the ground.

Now, all he could see was a blurry vision, his eyes filled with stress-induced tears, so much so that even with frantic blinking, he could only see a blurry patch of light.

Just like his eyes, his nose was running with snot, his mouth was full of saliva, and he was drenched in sweat—after responding to Yu Cang's call, an extremely twisted power suddenly surged through his body.

Li Anjiu couldn't describe the feeling of that power erupting in his body. He only knew that in the blink of an eye, all his senses were stimulated to the extreme, and when he came to his senses, he was already in this state of tears and snot streaming down his face.

"Officer Li, how are you doing now?"

A gentle voice came from ahead.

Li Anjiu barely managed to lift his head, and the clusters of light in his eyes gradually faded away...

……

Yu Cang looked at Li Anjiu, hesitated for a moment, but still did not reach out to help him.

"I...I'm alright." Li Anjiu struggled to get up from the ground, shaking his head. "I just...um?"

Li Anjiu seemed to realize something and quickly looked down at his wrist. Sure enough, the Absolute Pressure Lock that should have been in that position had disappeared!
And myself...

He stretched out his hand and looked at his palm—although it was covered in sweat and his sleeves were soaking wet and stuck to his skin, there were no scabs, and he hadn't turned into a centaur. He was a living, breathing human being!

Wait, that's not all!
Li Anjiu's eyes narrowed suddenly. At this moment, he ignored Yu Cang, who was waiting for his answer, and immediately sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and entered a meditative state.

……

Soul Energy Well!
His shattered and vanished Soul Energy Well has now appeared above his mental sea!
No, that shouldn't be his previous Soul Energy Well. He could sense an unfamiliar aura from it... But, it was definitely a Soul Energy Well!

It is a Soul Energy Well that can use card boxes and connect Soul Cards!
The spiritual power within the spiritual sea is continuously converging towards the Soul Energy Well, where it is transformed into soul energy.

Looking at everything before him through meditation and introspection, Li Anjiu was stunned for a moment.

For a moment, he felt an urge to cry.

The presence of a Soul Energy Well means he is a human, not some kind of monster...

Honestly, he had long been prepared to spend the rest of his life as a monster.

Although Yu Cang promised to personally help him get rid of his status as a barbarian after returning from the Longevity Tent, he did not have much expectation for it.

Firstly, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that Yu Cang's current status is quite clear. With his talent and ability, the burdens that Yan Kingdom will place on his shoulders will only get heavier and heavier in the future. Frankly speaking, it's not worth wasting Yu Cang's time on a mere security guard.

It wasn't that he was belittling himself; he genuinely felt it wasn't worth it.

He had personally witnessed what Yu Cang did in the Longevity Tent—he almost single-handedly carried the entire operation, resolving all crises, and even established an Emperor Khan controlled by the Yan Kingdom, and received the title of Khan Cang.

He really didn't think there was anything worth wasting his time on for someone who could take over an entire country in just a few days, since they weren't even that familiar with each other.

Secondly, he realized that he was probably beyond saving.

Although the Treatment Bureau is low-key and unassuming, it is a force to be reckoned with in Yan Country.

I wonder how many parents have threatened their children, saying that if they don't behave, they'll be sent to the intensive care unit.

If even such an authoritative place can't cure his illness—then Yu Cang is probably in serious trouble.

He knew perfectly well the way those researchers looked at him over the past two months; it was definitely not the way they looked at a living person.

Furthermore, his soul energy well is gone and shattered. How can it be healed?
It's like saying you can give someone whose brain has exploded another head – that's utter nonsense.

So he came to terms with it and decided to just focus on being a sample in the experiment and make some more contributions in the remaining time.

Eat and drink as you please, live well, and try not to make Yu Cang feel guilty, so as not to affect the genius's state of mind.

Even so, the emptiness in one's mind during the quiet of the night cannot be ignored.

And now, he—has regained the Soul Energy Well?
Is it possible to regain something like this?!

He stood there in a daze for a long time in front of the Soul Energy Well before he came to his senses and quickly left, returning his consciousness to the real world.

"Yu Cang, this..."

Li Anjiu stood up and looked at the young man in front of him, who was even younger than himself. For a moment, he felt an overwhelming urge to cry.

No, no! I've already shed enough tears, I need to hold them back!

Li Anjiu took a deep breath, using great willpower to suppress the urge to cry, and then opened his arms, wanting to give Yu Cang a hug.

"Stop! Hold on!" Yu Cang took several steps back. "Go take a bath first!" Li Anjiu: "...Uh."

……

After a quick check and recording of basic information, Li Anjiu was taken by Wen Yang to take a bath.

Cheng Mingye and Zhao Yang, along with Yu Cang, went to another room.

Next, we'll test the stability of Li Anjiu's current state in this room.

"Nephew, I don't understand."

Cheng Mingye stared at the data in his hand, completely baffled.

"Previously, Li Anjiu's soul energy well was clearly shattered—how did you restore it?"

“This—” Yu Cang said casually, “I couldn’t restore it, and I can’t do that kind of thing. I just made him a new one.”

Click.

Cheng Mingye pinched a crack in the template with the data in his hand.

He took a deep breath and then threw away the documents in his hand.

"You speak so casually, nephew." He squinted. "Don't you think that's completely unconvincing?"

Honestly, while restoring the Soul Energy Well seems absurd, upon closer examination, it is theoretically achievable.

But what the heck is this "hand-rubbed soul energy well"?

This is at the point where even racking one's brains, one can't come up with the slightest possibility of its feasibility.

If Soul Energy Wells could be crafted by hand, why would a Forbidden Card Master risk so much to search for materials everywhere?

The reason why the production of forbidden cards is so cruel and bloody is because "Soul Energy Wells" are an essential material for forbidden cards.

If you could create them by hand, wouldn't all the card masters throughout history be clowns?
"Uh." Yu Cang seemed unsure how to explain. "Anyway, this is something only I can do."

In fact, the principle is very simple.

The Soul Energy Well is part of the human race that is related to the residual power of the Imperial Star; it is the thing that separated humans from the spirit beasts.

Ultimately, isn't this just the power of the Imperial Star?

Right now, Yu Cang's control over the Emperor's Heart is actually terrifying.

Because of certain special characteristics, Yu Cang is the most favored candidate of the Emperor Star, and the power of the Emperor Star that he controls points directly to the essence.

Furthermore... the body of the Emperor Star in this era is buried deep within his own imperial heart.

Furthermore, there's no need to elaborate on the identity of the original young master.

Even if you let the Emperor Star himself fight Yu Cang for ownership of the Emperor Star's power, Yu Cang could still use that identity to play the game for two or three rounds.

Although it may never be able to surpass the Imperial Star in the end, this is already impressive enough.

Then, there is one more thing—the Emperor's Spirit Child.

Yu Cang had already speculated that the spirit particles could be considered equivalent to fragments of primordial memory, while the Emperor's spirit particles were different from the Emperor's heart, as they came directly from primordial power.

So Yu Cang tried using the Emperor's Spiritual Essence to create a Soul Energy Well for Li Anjiu—and succeeded.

Not only can it fully utilize the functions of a soul energy well, but in essence... it may be a level higher than all the soul energy wells currently on Earth...

Although the Emperor Star was powerful, in the face of the Primordial One, he was nothing more than a usurper.

See, it's that simple.

It doesn't really have much value. For Yu Cang, this step was the simplest one in the process of helping Li Anjiu become human again.

“…Okay.” Cheng Mingye rubbed his temples.

You've already done it, and you still can't explain it clearly?
Okay, okay, it seems there's something I don't have the authority to know.

Fine, what else could he do but swallow his anger?

"Let's leave that aside—that Soul Card is a bit too illogical," Cheng Mingye said. "Look at that [Reverse Realm], doesn't it mean that this Soul Card can only play its true role when it's not in Li Anjiu's deck?"

Having worked at the Rehabilitation Bureau for so many years, he has seen quite a few strange and unusual Soul Cards.

Soul cards have all sorts of abilities, some only effective during death cooldown, others can be activated when disconnected, and still others can provide a permanent effect within the deck.

But he's never seen anything like it where you can only be effective outside of a deck.

You're not even in the deck anymore, you're not connected, so tell me how your effect works!

"This... is quite easy to understand." Yu Cang pondered for a moment. "You can think of this card as Li Anjiu's Desolate Human state, so taking out the deck breaks the connection, right?"

Cheng Mingye: "..."

This statement seems reasonable, but it actually shows a complete lack of understanding in the card manufacturing industry.

It's like someone claiming that he has a soul card that doesn't use soul energy, but instead burns kerosene.

But the person who said that was Yu Cang... Okay, okay.

Cheng Mingye rubbed his temples, unsure of what to say for a moment.

Beside him, Zhao Yang stared with dead fish eyes, his face full of a relieved smile.

……

Not long after, Wen Yang brought Li Anjiu, who had just taken a thorough bath, into the room.

It was clear that Li Anjiu was in a very good mood; his steps were even a little unsteady.

"Yu Cang!" Li Anjiu stood before Yu Cang, beaming with pride. "Just tell me what you need me to do!"

Yu Cang nodded: "Hmm—now, I need you to transform back into your Blood Pegasus form so I can record some data."

"Huh?" Li Anjiu was taken aback.

Turn back? But his Soul Energy Well has returned... Wait, could it be...?

Li Anjiu's eyes widened.

Not only was he cured, but he can also transform at any time?

Wow, is this for real?!

While he was still in shock, Yu Cang had already stuffed the "Blood Pegasus" into Li Anjiu's hand.

"Simply put this card into the card box to return to the Blood Pegasus state."

"Just put it in the card holder?"

"of course."

"Holy crap, this isn't—" Li Anjiu's eyes widened to their limit.

Isn't this a transformation belt?

Upon realizing this, Li Anjiu could no longer contain himself. He quickly ran to the center of the laboratory, his expression immediately becoming serious.

He snatched his card case, placed it in front of his waist, and then, with a resolute expression, pushed the scarlet soul card into it—

boom!
In an instant, Li Anjiu's vision was filled with blood!
At that moment, he clearly sensed—

His own soul energy well was crushed again as this soul card was pushed in!
"Roar!"

A beast-like roar erupted across the arena, and blood scabs quickly covered Li Anjiu's entire body. In no time, a blood-red centaur appeared in the center of the arena.
