Elemental Card King.

Chapter 105 The Great and Small Legacy, A Gift of Fate
In a sense, Su Chen, who won the provincial championship, also gained some fame for a while.

Everyone in the neighborhood knows that there is a very promising child in Xianye Community.

The school newspaper for No. 1 Middle School has been arranged.

Local official media also conducted a comprehensive interview with the Donghua training team.

But it was only a brief period of noise, causing a slight disruption to his normal life, before Su Chen quickly returned to his stable routine of going back to work and home.

Saturday.

The weather is calm and sunny.

This is a rare day off during the week when there is no need for intensive training.

"It's really hard to get an appointment with someone as busy as you," He Hongyu said with a smile.

The speaker had meticulously styled short, jet-black hair, and his well-fitting sportswear accentuated his tall and slender figure.

This person was Su Chen's childhood friend, with whom he had a friendship of over ten years.

It can be said that the friendship between the two generations of elders is being continued in their generation.

"Don't decline the family dinner tonight. My parents and younger sister haven't seen you in a while," He Hongyu said.

"it is good."

Su Chen didn't intend to refuse, after all, he really didn't have much free time after this week.

Right now, the two have met again at the No. 1 Card Master Training Hall.

Last time, the other party helped Su Chen practice moves and spar.

This time, the two extremes have reversed.

According to He Hongyu's modest statement, thanks to the fact that the Donghua training team had taken away many top students, he was able to take the top spot in the city.

However, he did not get a perfect score in the physical fitness test, and there is still at least 15 points to improve.

If this aspect is improved, He Hongyu will indeed have a high probability of securing a top-three finish in the first provincial unified examination.

“It shouldn’t be difficult for you,” Su Chen said truthfully.

The reason why Yucai Private High School hopes that He Hongyu can become the top scorer in the provincial college entrance examination is that the physical fitness test is much easier than any of the five subjects in the liberal arts.

All I can say is that the card battle and physical fitness test standards have been significantly reduced.

Not only have the scores shrunk compared to the past, aligning with other subjects, but the difficulty level has also been significantly reduced.

"Come on, let's see your current skills," Su Chen said.

soon.

In the vast open outdoor space, a loud and rousing cry suddenly rang out, and one after another, lifelike firebirds proudly flapped their wings and soared into the sky, their burning tail feathers drawing fiery and dazzling red parabolic trajectories in the air.

Among them, the giant black bird at the head of the group had a wingspan of about six meters, standing tall and imposing like a navigator.

He Hongyu didn't hold back at all and launched his strongest attack right from the start.

Spell Card [Dance of the Firebird] + Weapon Card [Mystic Bird Mask] + Effect Card [Flame Resonance].

However, the demon envoys on the field remained incredibly calm and composed as the swarm of fire crows plummeted down like a sea of ​​meteors.

At this moment, Xiao Ling, who was a blend of wind and thunder, was wearing a flowing light gauze dress. The hem of the dress rolled like waves, with wind swirling around and fine arcs of lightning leaping about.

A bluish-purple glow, formed by the convergence of wind and thunder, enveloped the 'Dancing Demoness'.

"Come on, you might not be able to hit it even once."

Following Su Chen's instructions, Xiao Ling began to dodge.

Both Wind Whisperers and Lightning Whisperers are extremely skilled at bursting speed, dodging and evading, and even pursuing targets over extremely long distances.

Faced with the massive onslaught of flames, this 'Dancing Demoness' made a series of dazzling and rapid evasive maneuvers in the blink of an eye.

Its figure is as elusive as a phantom, always accompanied by flashes of lightning and swirling wind. Even under the bombardment of fire crows that lasts for more than ten seconds, it can skillfully avoid every attack, so that the flames cannot touch its body at all.

"Now I understand what nightmares your previous opponents went through."

In the end, even this usually refined young nobleman couldn't help but collapse to the ground, panting and resting.

There was no live broadcast or recording of the entire provincial competition.

Now, having glimpsed a part of the whole picture, he understood how much Yu Wenyao and his group revered their childhood friend.

"Alright, let's continue the test," Su Chen said with a smile.

Half an hour later.

He said, "In terms of meditation enhancement, we should focus on strengthening the Flame Burst effect. For the four cards, I suggest selecting one effect card, [Probability Hit]. The opponent definitely won't be able to dodge this wave of attacks."

Fire damage is very high; once multiple rounds of fire attacks hit, it's enough to wipe out the opponent in one go.

In particular, the limited boundaries of the battle in the college entrance examination arena greatly benefit the area-of-effect output of spells.

Based on his impressions of that group of students from the private Yucai High School, Su Chen gave some targeted deck-building suggestions, as well as some of their corresponding weaknesses.

“As long as you don’t run into Xia He, you might be able to confuse those people in one fell swoop,” Su Chen said, knowing full well that He Hongyu was quite capable.

His deck-building plan also ensured that the Fire Mage's burst power was strong enough to cover the entire college entrance examination period.

"At that time, the performance score in the arena alone will be enough, and the college entrance examination practical test score will be absolutely guaranteed," Su Chen said.

Upon hearing this, He Hongyu smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words."

night.

Su Chen was invited to He Hongyu's home for dinner.

"Back then, your dad was a big name on campus. During his university years, he challenged more than ten martial arts schools in one go just to prepare for his graduation exams."

After dinner, Uncle He had a few drinks and started talking.

Looking at the young face opposite him that bore a vague resemblance, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "But your father is used to valuing freedom, so after graduation he chose to become a dimensional explorer, while I ultimately couldn't escape the shackles of reality's gravity and spent most of my life in Donghua."

That brings us to this.

Uncle He also said a few more words.

"You don't need to worry. I know your parents' abilities very well. They must still be living a new life in the Nine Netherworld."

"I will continue to consult the Dimensional Observation Bureau, and once the return cycle of the Nine Netherworld is clearly discovered, I will definitely inform them immediately."

In this regard.

Su Chen could only nod.

"Brother Chen, can I take a picture with you? My girlfriends don't believe I know you." The 13-year-old He Xiaoyu tugged at Su Chen's clothes with a very cheerful voice.

After not seeing each other for some time, there was not much awkwardness or distance between us.

However, once the little girl entered puberty, she naturally stopped clinging to him like a little shadow as she did when she was younger.

"Okay." Su Chen had watched her grow up, so naturally he wouldn't refuse her small request.

Soon.

Uncle He also invited Su Chen to see his new exhibits. After walking out of the luxurious two-story hall and through a long corridor to the basement, there was a collection room behind the classical and elegant bronze door.

The key to unlocking the door is no less powerful than that for sealing an armory. Compared to Mr. Wu Zhongming, who likes to collect cards, Uncle He is undoubtedly more extravagant and sophisticated. He is passionate about exploring the depths of history and is obsessed with collecting antiques and artifacts from the primitive era.

The He family of Donghua is a well-known and prestigious local family.

Uncle He himself is a very famous collector of cultural relics in Qingyun Province.

"correct."

"You've been to the Emerald Realm, right? That territory is only a small part of the Spirit Realm. In fact, according to current historical records, the entire Spirit Realm during the primitive era encompassed most of Qingyun Province."

"However, due to the strong rise and resistance of the local humans, the Spirit Demon God was forced to fail in his ascension and ultimately perished on the spot."

As Uncle He recounted his story, Su Chen listened with great interest.

In fact, the Jade Secret Realm, which has been transformed for hundreds of years, no longer has any trace of civilization left.

That place cannot be considered the essence of the Spirit Clan.

The Qingyun Province Card Master Association still possesses the secret treasure inherited by the Spirit Clan. Each year, the Inheritance Tower is only opened to the public once, and only to a very small number of outstanding and promising card masters in the province.

This can be divided into major inheritance and minor inheritance.

The Great Legacy enhances your personal card master talent and has a certain probability of unlocking an additional new talent trait.

The Lesser Inheritance strengthens mental control and unlocks a secret soul technique.

The reason Su Chen understands this so clearly is because all the provincial teams in previous years have perfectly met the selection criteria for the Little Heritage program.

As for the Grand Heritage program, it is open to outstanding young people in the province, and they must be at least 20 years old.

He is clearly not among them.

After visiting the antique exhibition, Su Chen stayed until after 9 p.m. before saying goodbye and going home with the other party's driver.

three days later.

Inside the bedroom, Su Chen sat upright on his personal cultivation throne and began to cultivate in peace.

hum!
A faint, holy white glow emanated from within the body.

As cultivation progressed deeper, the majestic and glorious golden-red wheel above his sea of ​​consciousness continuously cast its inner divine light, nourishing his body.

At this moment, he wore the Holy Heart around his neck and held a Spirit Source Crystal the size of an egg in his hand.

With the dual assistance of these C-grade cultivation resources, the former accelerates the time efficiency of mentally imitating the three diagrams of the Sun, while the latter further refines one's divine sense and strengthens one's mental control.

After completing another round of Sun Observation Technique practice, Su Chen quickly felt a spiritual gift.

"I guess I've used up all the last of the material cards I got."

It's worth mentioning that he invested all the spiritual material cards he acquired into the new skill 'True Spirit Liberation', instead of continuing to invest them into 'Elemental Body'.

'True Spirit Unleashed: Elemental power erupts completely within the True Spirit's body. In this state, the user gains a 200% damage increase and a 60% movement speed bonus.'

The new mechanism was successfully unlocked.

Or movement speed.

The damage increase has also been increased from 150% to 200%.

As for the space material cards, they could only be used for the space skill 'Etherealization'.

'Etherealization: When used, the user's state is detached from reality for up to 50 seconds. During this time, the user is immune to all external damage and gains a 100% movement speed bonus.'

No new mechanics were introduced, but the numerical values ​​were significantly improved.

"Using these two skills together, whether it's for burst damage or escaping, it's top-notch," Su Chen sighed inwardly.

The good news is that once the Elemental Beast Spirit Card is upgraded to the three-star purple card standard, according to the enhancement formula given by Universal Card Company, it will definitely be able to synthesize another new space skill.

That's 'teleportation'!
Once we get our hands on it, it will definitely boost Xiaoling's combat power and mobility significantly.

Also.

There is another matter that Su Chen should pay attention to.

That is, his monthly allowance of 30 to the relief foundation was directly increased to 600 per month shortly after the provincial competition ended.

It increased 20 times on the spot!
Is this the value of a provincial champion? He sighed inwardly.

With this amount of money, he could even exchange for quite a few good things. He could exchange for a Spirit Crystal at once, and still have a small amount left to exchange for some miscellaneous material cards.

This credit limit is really hot to handle. If Aunt Jing hadn't told him to try his best to use it, Su Chen would have been filled with suspicion by now.

For some reason, he recalled the reply from the foundation that day: he was not special, just one of thousands of families receiving assistance.

It was because of this sentence that Su Chen inexplicably wanted to look up information about other victims and those he was trying to help.

Unfortunately, we can only find information about ordinary people, or even ordinary card players, from the official website and some media reports.

None of the participants met the criteria for talent support.

The exact individuals and talents funded by these newly established relief foundations in recent years, both globally and in various extraterrestrial dimensions, seem to have been deliberately concealed.

Su Chen activated his personal computer and entered two related keywords into the search engine.

'Families Support and Relief Foundation for Dimensional Victims', 'Su Chen'.

The search returned no useful information.

"Isn't this something worth showing off?" Su Chen looked at the computer screen in front of him, his expression becoming inexplicably serious.

How could a non-governmental organization truly not seek any reward?

He understood the principle that every gift from fate comes with a hidden price.

Furthermore, if this foundation truly seeks a return in the future, isn't he afraid that all the money he's poured out will end up being wasted on a bunch of ungrateful wretches?
"I should strive to become stronger."

No matter what the future holds, only ever-growing strength can be Su Chen's foundation.

Before falling asleep, Su Chen continued his practice of the Sun Observation Technique for another round.

The next morning.

As the sun rises,

Su Chen had already arrived at Donghua International Airport. With his first-class ticket, he could directly enjoy the most prestigious service in the VIP lounge of the terminal.

Xia He and Fan Xin were traveling with her.

As three members of Donghua who were on the provincial team's call-up list, the provincial association bought them round-trip tickets for the same time. Fan Xin had just added Su Chen and Xia He to a small team group chat.

"It will make it easier for us to keep in touch. We'll need to take good care of each other for a while from now on," Fan Xin said with a smile.

She added, "Of course, you two are incredibly stable, while I'm the one who needs to try my best not to be eliminated."

Xia He had a rather aloof personality. She leaned back on the sofa, looking serene and composed, engrossed in her book, lost in her own world.
To avoid a complete awkward silence, only Su Chen offered half-hearted responses.

After boarding the plane, even he became completely silent.

Su Chen made use of the flight time to cultivate diligently in the quiet and peaceful first-class cabin.

Even Xia He started cultivating as soon as she boarded the plane. Fan Xin finally felt the oppressive power of the Rolling King. There were two of them at once, so every second counted.

After taking a deep breath, she also entered a meditative state.
