Elemental Card King.

Chapter 109 Unstoppable Force! The Strongest Elemental Talent Sequence!

After experiencing disappointment and a huge blow last year, Li Yixian developed some inexplicable pessimistic tendencies.

He couldn't help but think that perhaps the gym owner himself had never thought highly of him from the very beginning, which was why he so readily agreed to the other party's challenge, all in an effort to avert this unwarranted disaster.

As for him, he was nothing more than a whetstone and a stepping stone.

This extremely negative and dejected feeling persisted until Director Zhang called for him to admit defeat.

"You won, you succeeded in challenging the champion, and you deserve it."

At Director Zhang's signal, his staff handed over a gold dish containing two material cards.

These are two four-star material cards.

When combined, the total market price does indeed exceed 600 million.

Teacher He Yun reached out and took it, and after confirming that it was correct, she handed it over to Su Chen.

Theoretically, the challenge post already clearly stated a wager of 300 million, which is impossible to change afterward.

However, since this person intended to ward off misfortune by spending money, he readily gave double the amount.

"Let's just say goodbye."

After personally seeing the other party off, Director Zhang also gave a very traditional and old-fashioned cupped-hand salute.

Although the world is prosperous, harmonious, and peaceful, there are many restrictions on card players, so they don't have to worry about enemies assassinating or retaliating.

No one wants to offend someone for no reason, especially not in such a way as to suffer an unexpected disaster.

"The first match is done."

Su Chen and his group got into the car.

With a driver assigned by the provincial association, the maglev bus headed towards its next destination: the Illusion Element Magic Museum.

As the name suggests, this involves illusion magic.

Those who studied under him basically locked onto the same illusion/mirror/clone deck.

As soon as they arrived, before they could even introduce themselves, a staff member who had been waiting for them invited them to the rear of the battlefield.

"The curator isn't here. He specifically instructed us that the wrongdoer should be held accountable and that they should act according to industry rules," the venue manager said with a forced smile.

To be honest, they just felt like they were being caught in the middle.

The curator himself was even an apprentice at the Endless Elemental Magic Hall when he was young.

Now that the new generation leader, Shao Yubo, is the rule-maker in the industry, there's no need to ask them what they want to do.

Furthermore, as business owners, they try their best not to offend anyone, especially a promising young man.

"Let's find someone decent, like him."

Wang Liyang glanced at the young man waiting on the field and immediately saw through him as nothing more than a pretty face, someone who was there to be sacrificed.

Dissatisfied, he glanced at a man in a jacket who was watching the game from the side.

"what"

The 30-year-old man who was named was a little confused, and he looked directly at the venue manager for help.

In this regard.

The manager finally nodded.

"Then it's you. Do your best."

He didn't dare to make any subtle moves to signal the other party to go easy on him, since they were clearly dissatisfied with the previous arrangements. Now he could only pray that the other party would understand.

"No problem." The burly man gave an OK sign.

Damn it, does he even understand? Did he get the sarcasm he just said? The venue manager was completely bewildered.

Teacher He Yun was also deep in thought. Compared to her, who was only thinking about finding an opportunity to vent her anger, Wang Liyang was more concerned about the intensity of the battle.

She could only deduce that the jacket-wearing man who was chosen had probably signed seven contract cards.

To be fair, this guy isn't doing very well. At his age, he's still only at the intermediate card master level, so his talent and aptitude are really quite average.

"We'll stick to the elemental mage approach." However, Wang Liyang clearly also placed some restrictions on Su Chen.

As the two players entered the field, the referee on the sidelines began to signal the countdown.

Just at the beginning.

Under the slightly alarmed gaze of the venue manager, the man in the jacket released several key contract cards without reservation.

Slender Man + Illusion Fission!
A dense dark element flowed down like ink, transforming into a long, narrow, ghostly creature. Its entire body was filled with a sinister aura, as if it were a fierce ghost lurking in the deep mountains and forests, enough to terrify anyone.

With a violent twisting motion, the entire ghostly figure split into two, then four, and finally eight.

As the [Illusionary Clone Technique] and [Mirror Master] were quietly activated, the existing terrifying ghostly figures underwent another drastic change, constantly replicating and spreading, turning the entire left side of the arena into a dazzling tide of ghostly figures.

In an instant, the man in the jacket completed his elaborate setup.

“Very handsome, isn’t it?”

He himself was of average talent and had never fought against a genius of his age since childhood. Unexpectedly, when he was in his early thirties, he finally had the opportunity to fight against a top prodigy.

Even though his opponent was almost a generation younger than him, he still cherished this battle immensely.

Next, he will do his best to realize his dream!
"Don't use it all!"

At this moment, when Wang Liyang saw Su Chen cut out a field card with the light attribute, he immediately and strictly forbade it.

"This guy's at it again, isn't he?" Teacher He Yun, standing to the side, seemed somewhat speechless.

Like a boxing champion suddenly having his limbs bound with restraints, Su Chen undoubtedly became restricted and constrained under these heavy restrictions.

As Su Chen had hoped, without the slightest hesitation or slowness, he flung out a light-attribute field card, his eyes already reflecting a green light.

next moment.

A strong sense of life pervaded the area.

Wow!
In an instant, a lush primeval forest emerged from this battlefield. Under the control of a powerful force, the verdant trees suddenly rose from the ground and transformed into small tree-man units.

This is the effect of the "Green Forest" terrain. It's like bamboo shoots sprouting up wildly after a rain, with nearly a hundred small tree-man units appearing in the blink of an eye.

Furthermore, the treant units that can be commanded also possess the effect of root entanglement.

These anthropomorphic little tree people have a tree-like body, and their limbs are retractable root structures.

"Destroy them!"

In an instant, under Su Chen's rapid deployment, the dense and vast number of small tree people launched a continuous and persistent attack on the ghostly figure not far in front of them.

Moreover, it didn't even allow the slender ghosts to activate their evasion abilities such as Shadow Shuttle or Concealment.

Su Chen's left eye shimmered with a yellowish-brown light, while his right eye flickered with a green glow. The Elemental Harmony ability was activated, and the Contract Field Card, which shimmered with starlight, became half yellow and half green.

The entire site was suddenly hit by another surge of earth element fluctuations.

Relying on the gravity effect of the [Stone Realm], and under Su Chen's meticulous mental manipulation, his extended mental tendrils seemed to split into hundreds of strands, allowing him to apply this gravity fluctuation evenly to each ghostly figure.

In an instant, the pressure, like that of a heavy mountain, made it impossible for them to break free, and the mostly immobile, thin ghostly figures were met with the frenzied and merciless entanglement of roots.

"Not bad, your mental control is already at a proficient level." Teacher He Yun said with some disbelief. Compared to Su Chen's previous mental micro-management of the sharp golden light, the current effect of applying gravity evenly is undoubtedly more exquisite.

Mental control, like meditation techniques, has the same level of proficiency.

Beginner, proficient, master, perfect, and transcendent.

There's not much to say about the beginner level. It involves projecting mental energy outward in a straight line, continuously extending it to enhance mental perception around the body; and even using projected mental energy to form telekinesis, accelerating the mind, enveloping oneself to float, and short-distance flight, all of which fall into this category.

As for the signature operation of the proficient level, it undoubtedly involves the externalization of mental energy into hundreds or thousands of strands. If supplemented with meticulous and exquisite operation, it can form a spectacular wave of mental control.

The Proficiency level of the Peugeot belongs to 'manifestation of thoughts'. This is not the manifestation of fantasies at will. To be precise, it means that one can only project the extraordinary energy presented in one's own spiritual consciousness into reality.

For example, when an elemental master reaches this stage, he can materialize the power of the ten elements and create an elemental realm out of thin air in a region.

As for perfect proficiency, its hallmark is the creation of one's own mental domain.

Generally speaking, there is no strict distinction regarding the level of mental control that a card player should possess at each stage.

Many master-level card players, without honing their divine will, do not even possess the proficiency level of mental control.

Even legendary card players today, such as Dr. Yan, who holds a doctorate, could not possibly possess perfect mental control.

Before the rise of the no-card-play meta, most elite card players in the past did not possess mastery-level effects without exploring their own potential. Differentiating mental power was not something that could be mastered without a teacher.

Regardless, Su Chen's performance has far exceeded what his peers should be capable of.

"He enhanced his mental control by manipulating the spirit body," Wang Liyang commented.

It's already unbelievable that an intermediate card master could possess the proficient level effect; it's almost a fantastical feat.

This is a powerful weapon. The meticulously differentiated mental energy combined with the elemental mage's attack creates a destructive force that is far more than simply the sum of its parts.

"but."

"He is indeed the strongest mind controller I have ever seen among the younger generation."

Without blindly praising it, Wang Liyang still gave it a high evaluation.

Teacher He Yun, who was standing to the side, raised an eyebrow. It was really not easy to get a few words of praise from the other party.

"Once he obtains the minor inheritance of the Spirit Clan's secret treasure, he will definitely be able to maintain the proficient level effect even without controlling a spirit body," Teacher He Yun said.

"That's the key point. Sooner or later, the other party will take over the major and minor inheritances. Just this point alone is enough for him to unlock the mastery level effect and master the body elementalization effect in the future."

Wang Liyang's resolute face remained expressionless as he continued calmly, "Therefore, he has no need to comprehend the elemental diagram at all."

"Alright, then choose one from the Azure Lotus Diagram or the Star River Diagram." To prevent the other party from continuing to insist on the smelting diagram, Teacher He Yun gave him a strong supplement.

now.

Su Chen, who was on the field, finally experienced firsthand what it meant to clear the field in an instant.

Hundreds of thin, ghostly figures cracked and exploded continuously under his gravitational pressure and root binding.

Ten seconds ago, the opponent quickly flooded the field, creating a wave of mirrored, overlapping ghostly shadows. Ten seconds later, the little helpers, resembling the tree-like Groot, whimpered and joined forces to unleash a devastating gravity-based attack, clearing the field.

The man in the jacket opposite him panicked completely and had no choice but to pull out a three-star effect card, [Illusion Fusion].

The slender, ghostly figures that were barely alive in the field began to frantically break free from the roots that bound them. In a vortex-like fusion wave, the fragmented and mirrored figures finally merged into a ghostly giant more than five meters tall.

"Stop struggling," the stadium manager said helplessly from the sidelines.

However, this action by the other party is tantamount to courting death.

This allows Su Chen to control the ghostly giant without having to divide his mental energy too much. He only needs to concentrate on gathering a massive gravity suppression wave.

Not to mention, due to the excessive loss of power from the previous division, the strength of this fused summon beast is not stable at the four-star stage. With the added challenge of facing hundreds of small treants, the shadow power within its body has plummeted due to the absorption by its roots.

Another ten seconds or so passed.

The 30-year-old man, drenched in sweat, finally conceded defeat somewhat reluctantly, his mouth twitching.

to be frank.

His aptitude is indeed average; his card master talent is not only not in the top 500 list, but is also considered poor.

I have worked hard to get to where I am today by the age of 30.

"Give."

Relieved, the venue manager readily called over an employee who handed over a gold platter with the betting stakes.

It's still two four-star material cards.

The other party clearly agreed to the betting request without hesitation, clearly intending to pay to avoid trouble.

"Welcome to visit and offer guidance next time." As the venue manager politely saw them off, he added a pointed remark: "Come to offer guidance, but don't come to cause trouble again."

In less than half an hour, Su Chen's speed in accumulating funds was remarkable, having gathered at least 1200 million Alliance Coins.

However, not all magic halls are so easily described.

At the third place, Su Chen successfully arrived, but the manager refused to add any last-minute bets. Despite the manager's sour face, Su Chen took the 300 million yuan transfer check.

The fourth one is exactly the same as the one above.

The fifth company simply refused to challenge the established players, clearly stating that they were keeping up with the times and had reformed their business practices to address this outdated and harmful practice.

The sixth person was easy to talk to, a perfect example of a businessman. In addition to agreeing to the bet, they even wanted to pay for a photo together.

The seventh place is closed for rest.

"Come directly to the 'Endless Elements' Magic Hall."

At 4:30 p.m., Wang Liyang, sitting in the car, spoke directly.

He himself was probably feeling inexplicably bored. No matter how strict the other party's demands were, Su Chen could easily handle them, mainly because the intensity of his opponents was simply not up to par.

Furthermore, even if most venues boast loudly and exaggerate their history, their traditional bad habits alone may not be enough to attract true elites.

Of these, perhaps only the Endless Elements Pavilion has any appeal.

five minutes later.

The maglev train has arrived at its destination.

As soon as you get off the bus, you are greeted by a magnificent stadium with a dazzling array of light and shadow effects on its surface, as if it has gathered the power of various elements in the world, making it very eye-catching and amazing.

At the entrance of the venue, various solemn and mysterious stone tablets stand in the hall, their surfaces engraved with various elemental runes.

In addition to the usual elements, there are also abstract symbolic runes such as musical notes, poison, blood, and time, space, and chaos.

As you get closer, the winding, twisting rune lines seem to leap out, revealing the elemental fluctuations within.

"Endless elements, encompassing everything, revealing the infinite mysteries of the world. Welcome to the Endless Elements Magic Hall."

The venue manager, who had been waiting for a while, came forward with a big smile on his face. He seemed to always have a smiling face and a friendly demeanor.

"The sect leader is already waiting inside. Please move forward, esteemed guest." Led by him, they crossed a large hall and a long corridor before finally arriving at the VIP arena inside the venue.

at this time.

Zhan Longxi, the third in the younger generation of the "Long" generation, has gone from being eager to try to being extremely cautious.

After all, Li Yixian was his friend, and he learned about the other party's challenge report from him.

I don't know if it was because of the other person's negative emotions, but I felt a little uneasy and my mindset was a bit unbalanced, so I wasn't as confident.

The second senior brother ultimately couldn't come, and logically and emotionally, he shouldn't have been able to fight. He completely violated the principle of equality, and this arena battle was basically fought by him personally.

"It's true that a hero comes from a boy."

At this moment, Shao Yubo saw the figures entering and immediately laughed.

This short, stout man in his forties, with a ruddy complexion and an air of nobility, is none other than the current owner of the Endless Elemental Magic Hall.

Of course, unlike the owners of ordinary clubs, those with a certain influence and authority are usually called the "master".

"What is the meaning behind the sect leader's arrogant and obsequious behavior?" Teacher He Yun said sarcastically. Fortunately, Wang Liyang was by her side; otherwise, she would not have dared to speak to Shao Yubo in such a way.

Shao Yubo paused for a moment, not annoyed, and smiled, "Rules are rules. He Yun has clearly conveyed the cooperation agreement that you refuse to become an apprentice, so why are you asking about the elemental diagram?"

"However, considering that you are unaware of our magic hall's rules, some misunderstandings do exist."

As a master-level card master, Shao Yubo also inherited such a huge family business and power from his ancestors. Even if he made some mistakes, lost his temper, or had mood swings, others could only tolerate it.

What need is there to explain to you given your status?

If it weren't for Su Chen's presence, he really wouldn't have bothered to say anything more to He Yun.

"Since Su Chen is here too, let's get straight to the point. All those old traditions and customs that you young people don't like can be discarded. There's no need for you young people to kneel down and serve tea, nor is there any need for you to accompany us on outings to promote them."

"All you need to do is put your apprentice's name under my name and give me some portrait rights for promotional images."

"These are the conditions I'm giving you. After that, you can study the elemental diagrams at any time."

Shao Yubo laid out the conditions directly.

This spacious and enclosed VIP battlefield had no outsiders.

However, Zhan Longxi, who was standing next to him, didn't feel good about it. He had gone through a lot of trouble to become an apprentice, and his family had given him a lot of money for serving tea when he was a child.

These conditions are far too lenient.

only.
"I refuse. I don't need elemental diagrams anyway. Let's just start the battle." Su Chen didn't think twice and politely declined.

He didn't care much about the elemental diagrams. Firstly, they were things of his private domain, and secondly, he was well aware that the talent traits unlocked by the elemental master would definitely cover the mental combat skills of elemental magic.

Even regarding the elemental transformation of the body, which he values ​​highly, Su Chen is confident that he will be able to unlock and master it; it's just a matter of time.

“As the most outstanding elemental talent sequence, without exception, Su Chen really doesn’t need your elemental diagram obtained from the incomplete Primordial Elemental Law,” Wang Liyang suddenly said from the side.

The words are not surprising and die endlessly.

This guy was as infuriating as ever. While He Yun secretly cheered, she was also worried for him.

Dude, we're here to challenge you, not to cause trouble, humiliate you, or give you a hard time.

"you"

Shao Yubo was indeed angry immediately. He glared at the burly, resolute figure not far away. His words were no longer a denial of him, but rather a great disrespect to his ancestors and advisor.

"Who are you?" At this moment, amidst his inner rage, he finally took a serious look at the powerful figure who had accompanied him.

"Wang Liyang," the other party replied truthfully.

Who the hell is Wang Liyang? Shao Yubo was absolutely furious.

He knew some of the important figures in the provincial card dealers association.

But Shao Yubo had never seen this burly man with his iron-blooded and ruthless demeanor before.

If it weren't for his fear of the other party's background and strength, Shao Yubo would have definitely lost his temper on the spot.

"Besides the elemental diagrams, our Endless Elemental Magic Hall also has many secret techniques passed down through generations." After forcing himself to hold back, Shao Yubo still turned his gaze to Su Chen.

“We have quite a few of those things too.” Wang Liyang had no intention of letting the other party go, and his cold eyes made the other party very uncomfortable.

For a moment, Shao Yubo's breathing became heavier.

The atmosphere around them seemed inexplicably heavy.

Teacher He Yun watched with a tense heart. While she felt relieved, she was also worried that this tough and hardline approach would lead the other side to take drastic action.

However, she underestimated how flexible and accommodating a businessman who talked about cooperation agreements could be.

After a long pause, the sect leader finally said, holding his breath, "Manager Zhang, after you've presented the betting stakes, please see our distinguished guest out immediately."

The competition hasn't even started yet.
Zhan Longxi's expression turned anxious, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Sect Leader, I haven't participated yet."

Before he could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted.

"You piece of trash, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? Do you even have the ability?" Shao Yubo, the sect leader, finally found a scapegoat and vented all his pent-up anger on the other party.

Zhan Longxi was so embarrassed by the insults that his face turned red. Being humiliated in front of so many people felt like his heart was being stabbed with a sharp knife.

The next moment, he lowered his head, seemingly trying to hold back his tears.

After putting away the two four-star material cards, Teacher He Yun led them away without saying a word.

Wang Liyang was indeed infuriating. She was speechless and even felt sorry for the young man.

"This sect leader has such a bad temper, it's really impossible to work with him." Back in the car, Teacher He Yun smiled broadly. This challenge trip had come to a successful end, and she felt relieved.

At this moment, Su Chen, after getting into the car, gave Wang Liyang a meaningful look.

The other party naturally noticed this and said, "After this challenge, your mental control has exceeded my expectations. Combined with your elemental mastery talent, that incomplete Primordial Elemental Technique is indeed not very useful to you."

Su Chen neither confirmed nor denied this.

That wasn't what he cared about; the other person's previous remarks had made him a little suspicious.

'We have quite a lot of that stuff too.' This 'we' probably doesn't refer to the provincial association. In the other person's context, it seems that he himself has already been included in the category of 'one of us.'
