Elemental Card King.

Chapter 111 Contract Six Cards, New Dual-Form Card Weapon
"A secret crafting formula will cost you one Enlightenment Stone."

On the way back, Teacher He Yun laughed and said that she could only sigh that this unconventional knowledge was a great fortune.

As long as no one successfully cracks the synthesis formula, it can continue to be sold for money.

However, she did not complain.

In fact, this business deal really made Su Chen a fortune.

After all, generally speaking, when selling secret formulas to outsiders, they provide pre-mixed materials, allowing you to complete your meditation enhancement on the spot.

Now, according to He Yun's own guess, the exact amount of ingredients needed for the specific recipe, how to evenly mix these ingredients, and even the precautions for the blending process have all been provided in detail.

In other words, if Su Chen needs money in the future, he can resell it.

"This is Old Master Geng's way of finding the last successor for the secret technique 'Magic Seal.' You, the Elemental Master, are worthy of it. Of course, you can also leave a legacy for your family."

Vice President Li, who was standing to the side, also had to speak up for his former leader.

Faced with birth, aging, sickness, and death, he felt a mix of emotions.

At the same time, he also witnessed the end of an elemental family that had been passed down for more than four hundred years, facing a situation of existing in name only.

But from another perspective, isn't this a good thing? At least the descendants of the Yun Du Geng family are living the lives they want.

After bidding farewell to their past glories and no longer adhering to the traditional path of their ancestors, they make movies and engage in art. In two or three more generations, they will probably become an artistic family.

"A wise man once said that the true meaning of a prosperous and flourishing era is that every young person can pursue the life they want." Vice President Li couldn't help but sigh as he felt a pang of sadness.

The young people of this revival era have no choice; they bear the heavy responsibility of the rise of human civilization. Like a torch being passed down from generation to generation, each generation of young people moves forward fearlessly, rushing to the front lines to resist foreign invasion with unwavering determination.

In this glorious era, young people should pursue their dreams instead of fighting and killing each other.

Of course, Su Chen was an exception. Vice President Li smiled.

This kid is so talented; he's truly one of the most outstanding provincial champions in recent years. He should go even further on the path of a battle card master.

"Su Chen, you should be able to contract six cards before the Spirit Inheritance begins, right?" Vice President Li asked curiously. More contract cards mean more security, not to mention that with 90 material cards already invested, progress should be rapid.

“No problem,” Su Chen said.

According to the latest operation manual published by the Card Master Association, one can attempt to contract the sixth card once their mental strength reaches 390.6.

He is not far from this goal.

Two weeks will be more than enough to complete the six-card contract.

After returning to the provincial association center, Su Chen also began to search for relevant synthetic materials.

The synthesis formula for this 'Magic Seal' secret technique is: [Void Stardust] + [Void Crystal Core] + [Wisdom Rune] + [Soul Crystal] + [Spiritual Medium] = [Magic Seal] (Secret Technique).

ten minutes later.

Su Chen checked the card time and found that two of the materials belonged to the public domain and should be redeemable at the provincial association.

Through the relief foundation's internal exchange channels, two other rare resources can also be obtained, requiring only a total quota of 380 to exchange.

"Now we only need the last piece of space-type material, the 'Void Crystal Core'."

After Su Chen opened the Global Trading Center app on his phone to check, he was able to find the latest market price immediately.

2855 million Alliance Coins!
Space-related materials are generally much more expensive than other elemental materials of the same star level, at least five or six times more expensive.

Su Chen was already mentally prepared for the exorbitant price.

"That's it."

He felt relieved, but feared that some rare material might have been discovered.

Currently, all five materials are in hand. The remaining issues are the proportions, the weight, and the order of the fusion steps during meditation.

For example, the material for 'wisdom talisman' also needs to be mixed with a certain proportion of medium powder.

Su Chen is not proficient in potion-making at all, but he can entrust the task to a potion expert for help in preparing the potions.

He wasn't worried that others could successfully reverse-engineer the formula.

Knowing only one part of the process, it would be a massive undertaking to work backward to the final result.

According to relevant suggestions, one could even spend an extra sum of money to have the other party prepare multiple sets of materials in different proportions.

Regardless, Su Chen can now begin preparing the materials.

Because only a person's mental strength of 420 is enough for a demon spirit to possess this secret technique.

According to his optimistic vision, the secret technique 'Magic Seal' might be enhanced in the mid-to-late game to achieve a concept-level lock-on effect with a 100% hit rate.

Even if the enemy has a phantomization skill, they cannot avoid it.

At the same time, the Demon Summoner can also instantly teleport to the marked location of this elemental magic seal. When the two are combined, it leaves the enemy with nowhere to hide.

Two weeks later.

For many members of the provincial team, they faced a brutal elimination test.

Seven people will be eliminated this week.

At this time.

Su Chen began to contract with six cards.

After fully considering the personal guidance and closely combining it with his own actual situation, he did need to improve his elemental mage's panel abilities.

After all, he is the elemental ruler.

He should not only play the role of an elemental summoner well, but also master the core abilities of an elemental mage.

Simply relying on elemental field cards is not enough to be considered a true mage.

"That kid Li Xiu will probably jump for joy when he finds out. I'll give him a call later," said Teacher He Yun, who was accompanying them, with a smile.

That's right.

Su Chen's choice of six cards was precisely the spell cards, the Elemental Bombardment series cards.

After Xiao Ling completes the construction of the relevant trinity, he will naturally need to strengthen his own spell output.

"You are here."

The provincial association's research specialists were waiting here. Compared to Li Xiu's first-level researcher status, Duan Lianqing in front of them was a special-level researcher, and she also appeared to be younger.

The woman's neat short hair, paired with a khaki trench coat, made her look very dashing. She wore a pair of exquisite red-rimmed glasses, exuding an intellectual and elegant scholarly air.

Judging from appearance alone, this woman looks no different from Duan Yingxue in the team, and they even wear the same style of glasses.

And the two are indeed biological sisters.

Su Chen's very thick guide was also mostly written by the other party.

"Nice to meet you."

After shaking hands briefly with Su Chen, Duan Lianqing bent down and picked up a box that looked like a guitar case.

The place they arranged to meet was not an office, but a fire test site filled with cold white tones.

"Come"

"These are the spell cards and corresponding offensive cards you requested."

After Duan Lianqing personally opened the clasp of the sealed box, a scepter-shaped weapon was revealed inside.

Staff!

Its staff is about 1.6 meters long, and the patterns on the staff are as light and graceful as surging clouds and seas. Upon closer inspection, they also resemble intricate and exquisite magical runes engraved on it.

At the top of the staff, a perfectly formed prismatic magic crystal is inlaid, containing faint starlight, as if the Milky Way is condensed into a small space.

The magic crystal was surrounded by a ring of overlapping cloud patterns, resembling swirling smoke, both real and illusory. "This is the Nebula Scepter. If you don't look closely, it's hard to notice the groove at the bottom of the scepter head." At Duan Lianqing's prompting, Su Chen quickly took the scepter and examined it repeatedly.

He immediately measured and felt its weight, occasionally waving it around in small motions.

“Based on your past performance, especially the final match, and to meet your occasional close-quarters combat needs, this scepter-shaped weapon can also be switched to a spear form. The switching port is at the end of the scepter,” Duan Lianqing said.

Unlike Li Xiu, who picked out a high-energy elemental gun for Su Chen.

Duan Lianqing then chose a dual-form weapon for Su Chen, combining a scepter and a spear.

There are quite a few of these types of cards.

In today's high-tech world, weapons that integrate guns and swords, or guns and cannons, are commonplace, offering both long-range and close-range firepower with great comfort and ease.

After all, what era are we living in? Why are we still using traditional cold and hot weapons?

Some of the more complex weapons even have multiple weapon transformation modes, making them quite flashy.

Click.

When Su Chen's right hand touched the end of the cane, a knob that was barely visible to the naked eye began to be turned gently. To prevent accidental activation, there was a slight damping sensation when it was turned.

In an instant, as it spun, the prismatic magic crystal on the staff began to transform, its edges becoming increasingly sharp, like the resolute blade of cooled lava, swiftly completing its magnificent transformation from a dazzling prismatic crystal to a deadly spearhead.

As for the cloud-patterned decorations that circled around it, they also danced, like willow catkins fluttering in the sunlight. As they swayed, they transformed into a spear tassel that flew in the wind, hanging below the spearhead, adding a touch of majesty and agility.

The moment it took shape, Su Chen's eyes lit up, and he immediately gripped the air tightly and launched a thrusting attack.

Swish!
A series of sharp, piercing sounds suddenly rang out.

In less than a second, the three thrusting spear shadows overlapped in one place, and the spear tips all landed at the same point, as if the air had been pierced with a black dot.

Of course, this is not the power to truly pierce through space.

Before a breath had passed, as the gunshot faded, the sharp puncture mark left by the point of impact also disappeared.

"Such skillful spear fighting techniques!" Duan Lianqing exclaimed in surprise.

Poking at the air is much harder than poking at a physical target.

Because the air cannot provide any tangible tactile feedback, the fact that the opponent could unleash such overlapping and continuous attack trajectories in an instant truly reveals an indescribable level of terrifying skill.

Is this guy really an elemental master?

Duan Lianqing sighed inwardly, and also thought that this young man seemed to have followed the path of martial arts before his awakening, which explained why he had such a well-proportioned and sturdy tall figure.

"You're even more of a weapon master than that guy Feng Xingqin."

Teacher He Yun was also momentarily stunned. Although she already knew that the other party possessed various combat skills, such exquisite spearmanship was somewhat beyond her imagination.

Feng Xingqin has top-tier talent, but I don't know what's wrong with this guy. He doesn't seem that old, but he handles weapons as if he has divine assistance.

At this moment, Su Chen did not use his spear techniques much. He simply felt the weight of the Nebula Spear for a while before turning the knob on the end of the staff once more.

The spearhead, which had been sharp and aggressive, gradually lost its fierce momentum and began to shrink back, transforming back into the original prismatic magic crystal. The tassels surrounding it also flowed and changed, transforming once again into cloud patterns that protected the magic crystal.

"This card is pretty good. Let's form a contract with six cards first," Su Chen said. The next step is to train by inserting the cards.

Duan Lianqing, who was in front of him, also handed over a laminated card.

The spell card [Holy Light Impact] is a three-star purple card.

“This is the best specification we could find,” Duan Lianqing said. According to the characteristics of the Elemental Dominator, once the contract is made, other cards with switchable attributes will also be fixed to the same quality.

After taking over, Su Chen immediately removed the plastic wrapping from the card.

Generally speaking, this plastic seal is also a form of anti-counterfeiting packaging.

Without this outer membrane, even a secondhand one would have to be discounted.

soon.

Su Chen closed his eyes and silently activated the contract method of the Unity Meditation Technique. With practiced ease, in less than ten seconds, a soul imprint appeared on the surface of the new card.

Generally speaking, as long as the needs are met, contracts and unbinding are very easy, which is why the entire trading card market is so hot.

However, unbinding will reduce one's mental strength, and ten days or half a month of meditation practice may be wasted.

For those in real-world competitions where every second counts, this is hard to accept, unless they spend a lot of money like Feng Xingqin to buy specific resources to unbind themselves without any loss.

"It went very smoothly," said Ms. He Yun.

At that moment, the brand-new card that Su Chen was holding tightly in his hand had disappeared.

Swish!
The sixth contract card then floated in his mental consciousness space.

[Name]: Holy Light Impact
[Quality]: Purple

[Level]: ★★★

[Attribute]: light

[Category]: Spell Cards - Elemental Bombardment Series

【Effect】:
Holy Light Baptism (Active): Gathers holy power and launches a fierce holy light shock on the enemy, dealing high holy damage to the target. If it hits a target with negative status such as curse or disease, it will be instantly removed and converted into additional damage.

Echo of Faith (Passive): Whenever "Holy Light Baptism" is cast, the user will receive a response from the Holy Light, restoring a certain percentage of their health. Excess health will be automatically converted into a Light attribute shield.

[Introduction]: Have faith in the Holy Light! The protection of the Holy Light will not let you down!
"good."

Su Chen sighed inwardly, "As expected of a light-attribute elemental bombardment card, it also possesses both offensive and defensive capabilities."

Moreover, it is extremely effective against opponents in a negative state.

Su Hongsheng, that crazy blood-selling kid, will probably wear a mask of pain after finding out.

soon.

Su Chen began switching attributes one by one to check the specific effects of the other elemental bombardment cards.

Besides [Holy Light Impact], the other cards are [Metallic Magnetism], [Life Bloom], [Azure Rage], [Exploding Flame], [Earth Shatter], [Howling Wind], [Frost Nova], [Thunder Fury], and [Shadow Assault].

five minutes later.

After gaining a preliminary understanding, Su Chen ended his mental introspection.

The two people who were patiently waiting nearby also turned their gazes over.

"Has the authorization agreement for changing the card been processed yet?" Su Chen asked.

obviously.

He has decided to replace the card, as its defensive capabilities are indeed excessively high.

Su Chen also decided to use offensive cards in the upcoming national competition.

He was quite satisfied with the weapon that combined scepter and spear in front of him after a short period of use.

I decided this was it!

"The authorization has been granted, but there's no rush to take back your little floating machine. You can keep it until the national competition," Duan Lianqing said. This was undoubtedly a preferential treatment for the team's number one player, so that they wouldn't have to switch back later if they found it uncomfortable to use.

"Then you can keep it for now, but you can't have two cards in a single arena battle," said Teacher He Yun. Theoretically, the small floating machine is registered with the Donghua City Association, and it needs to go through her procedures when it's returned.

Well.

Su Chen didn't insist.

"Now, let's test how powerful the card is," Su Chen thought to himself, eager to experience the combat performance of his newfound strength.

The inter-team battles within the provincial teams have been going on for quite some time now.
