Elemental Card King.

Chapter 114 The Secret Technique Completed! On the Day of Inheritance, the Soul Secret Technique!

New year, new atmosphere.

January 1st, 520th year of the Glorious Era.

Major retailers launched a flurry of promotional activities during the holidays.

Nowadays.

Su Chen also started buying things.

Through the official Card Time material store, he directly placed an order for [Soul Crystal] and [Spiritual Medium].

the other side.

The relief foundation issued another 600 quota that month, of which Su Chen spent 380 quota to exchange for [Void Stardust] and [Wisdom Seal], and exchanged the remaining quota for some scattered material cards.

At last.

He also purchased a "Void Crystal Core" on the Global Trading Center app.

Of course, since minors cannot open an account, the only option is to transfer 2850 million to Teacher He Yun so that she can place the order on their behalf.

On the same day, some of the orders arrived.

The provincial association's official potion expert was commissioned by Su Chen and successfully prepared a set of materials.

On January 3rd, the last order sent from an extradimensional plane successfully arrived in Donghua City and was signed for.

everything's ready.

All the materials for crafting the secret technique 'Magic Seal' have been prepared.

Even his own mental strength, influenced by the gift of the contract, has recently reached 420.

Su Chen didn't plan to strengthen his skills again when he returned to the provincial association center. After returning home from school, he sat upright on the single sofa in his room, where the cat-web-shaped cushion was very soft and comfortable.

Before entering the meditation enhancement, Su Chen held the Spirit Source Crystal in both hands, not worried that his mental energy would be depleted.

Before long, all was quiet. He quickly dismissed all distracting thoughts, and his consciousness began to soar rapidly into a spiritual space that transcended the material realm.

After the strengthening method of the Oneness Meditation is activated.

hum!
The summoning card of the demon spirit suspended high among the ten-colored clouds trembled, and a vortex-like wave rippled out from the card face, opening the fusion channel.

According to the requirements of the secret synthesis method, the order in which the materials are added must be correct.

Su Chen kept this in mind and began to invest in the tasks one by one.

Wow!
The surging energy within grew stronger, engulfing everything around it; even the ever-flowing clouds and elemental light could not escape the pull of this power.

Beneath this strange phenomenon, Su Chen's mental strength was plummeting rapidly.

This was significantly more intense than any previous meditation intensification.

I don't know how much time passed after that.

The raging vortex energy finally reached its peak, and then suddenly contracted in an instant, quietly closing the fusion channel.

Everything returned to calm.

"It's done." Su Chen couldn't suppress his joy.

After he examined the cards, a brand new skill information appeared.

'Spell Mark: Creates an elemental mark at a coordinate or target. The summoned creature can teleport to the marked location within 5 seconds, and its attacks will automatically track the mark to a certain extent.'

This is a very good skill for both chasing and retreating.

Once an enemy is marked, it's essentially a headshot lock.

"Let's try it."

After finishing his meditation, Su Chen immediately summoned Xiao Ling.

"Xiao Ling, experience the new skill."

At its owner's command, the exquisitely crafted little doll closed its eyes and quietly pondered its newly acquired abilities.

hum!
Suddenly, a complex and mysterious magic rune appeared high up in the bedroom.

As the Lightning Spirit raised its right hand, the wisps of electricity emanating from its hand seemed to be drawn towards the marked magic rune in the air.

next moment.

Swish!
A flash of light and shadow, and Xiao Ling's petite figure, over a meter tall, appeared directly at the location marked by the magic seal.

Before its body could fall, it hovered in the air, floating lightly with the help of its own mental power.

In a sense, this effect is a point-to-point spatial coordinate teleportation, and any obstacles encountered during the process will not affect the casting of this secret technique.

At Su Chen's suggestion, Xiao Ling wove this magic mark onto the Thunder Blade in her hand. Once the mark was formed, it was very stable, and it seemed that she could indeed use it to perform some tricks.

This was not a training ground after all, and after a brief attempt, Xiaoling stopped there.

"As expected of a secret technique."

When the Lightning Spirit Master grows to the ultimate stage, 'Thunderous Lady', she even possesses the ability to execute and ambush across 100,000 miles.

Su Chen knew this so clearly because he had researched the great achievements of the creator of this secret technique.

The female ruler of the Thunder Goddess left a magic seal coordinate at a safe location on the spot. After launching a surprise attack into the enemy's lair and causing a great commotion, she instantly teleported back to her original location before the enemy could surround and annihilate her.

This method of perfectly disengaging from the battlefield is always effective, not to mention that targets marked with its magic seal at a distance can be instantly closed in and perfectly killed even if they have run tens of thousands of miles away.

"If possible in the future, it would be perfect if we could crack the interdimensional teleportation mechanism."

At that time, the enemies marked by Xiaoling will truly have nowhere to go.

To celebrate the arrival of this secret technique, Su Chen also prepared some material cards.

Generally speaking, the outcome of breaking the colorless divine card is not predetermined, but after using it for so long, Su Chen has a general understanding of how to control the specific direction of enhancement.

In any case, putting spatial materials into the 'magic seal' is always a good idea; it will definitely extend the magic seal's duration and teleportation distance.

Four days later.

Early in the morning.

At Donghua International Airport, in the VIP lounge of Terminal 2, Su Chen and Xia He sat side by side on a luxurious chair.

Unfortunately, Fan Xin was eliminated last week.

She was one of the seven eliminated contestants.

This girl, who rose to the top 16 in the provincial competition thanks to a lucky draw, ultimately failed to outcompete others in the fiercely competitive arena.

Fan Xin herself was stronger than expected. When she left, she was grateful that she had spent two months in the provincial team training camp and that her strength had improved a lot.

From then on, only the two of them remained on this round trip.

The same thing happened in the small team's group chat.

"let's go."

Xia He closed the book in her hands.

At this moment, boarding announcements were already playing in the VIP lounge, allowing first-class passengers to skip the queue and board directly with priority.

Su Chen noticed that the girl beside him had changed her book again; it was Yan Zhiluo's historical work, "The Decline of Divine Authority: The Rise and Fall of the Spirit Realm and the Great Migration of the Spirit Race."

This book is quite timely.

Because he and Xia He will both receive the spiritual inheritance in the afternoon.

Simultaneously.

Su Chen also noticed that the other person wasn't wearing headphones. "If you're going to some distant outer dimension in the future, be careful of the Mind Race; they don't like humans," Xia He reminded him as they boarded the cabin, clearly remembering Su Chen's future aspirations.

"I understand. Let's work hard together this afternoon," Su Chen said.

Two hours later.

After the plane landed at Yundu International Airport, they were picked up by a private car but did not go directly to the Provincial Association Center. Instead, they headed towards the East District.

This day is a day of inheritance.

In addition to the seven elimination spots being confirmed, the list of three provincial team members who will receive the Spiritual Inheritance has also been released.

Besides Su Chen and Xia He, the third person is Duan Yingxue.

To secure the third spot, a group of former title contenders fought tooth and nail.

Feng Xingqin fought this female Dharma King of the Turbulent Current three times, losing twice and winning once.

His record against both the Transcendent Gao Mingxuan and the Spirit Ruler Luan Dehai was mixed, with neither side able to achieve a perfect record.

A frightening fact is that despite having a lead of six contract cards, Feng Xingqin's strength increase appears somewhat weak.

After a reshuffling of power.

Besides everyone being promoted to intermediate card master, there have been many changes for everyone.

Some players either contract the latest limited-edition cards, showcase rare family secret cards, or enhance their summoned beasts with arcane skills.

For example, Zhu Wan'er even enhanced her talent with the effect of mutated ice.

However, Duan Yingxue still had the last laugh.

Her Riptide talent has become even stronger, and she has also unlocked a double spell damage boost.

The female mage, who already possessed the ability to cast spells quickly and multi-cast, was practically lawless.

Team members who play Necromancer Skeleton or Slime Proliferation builds are terrified when facing her. No matter how fast they flood the board, it's useless; she wipes out a large area in an instant, like playing a match-3 game.

Considering her numerous cross-disciplinary achievements, Duan Yingxue stood out from the crowd.

"She has a wonderful older sister," many people said enviously.

Many members of the provincial team have relevant backgrounds and family wealth, or at the very least, huge fortunes. But Duan Yingxue has all of these, plus a top student older sister who meticulously plans her life.

at the moment.

The girl with red-rimmed glasses, dressed in a magic cloak, waited gracefully in front of the Tower of Inheritance.

Su Chen and Xia He also arrived shortly afterward.

Dongcheng Area.

Lingzu Cultural Relics and Sites Park.

At its center stands a solemn and majestic heritage tower, its height reaching straight into the clouds, as if reaching the heavens, and its surface exudes an ancient charm that has been accumulated over the years.

The palace complexes in the surrounding ruins are also different from human cultural architecture, with white and transparent as the main colors. However, with the passage of time, the surfaces of these buildings, which should have been like white ice crystals, are filled with a mottled and dim appearance.

"The Spirit Race reveres purity, spirituality, and the beauty of nature." Su Chen gained a deeper understanding of this.

The Spirit Realm map of the Wilderness Era not only encompassed the entire territory of the ancient Qingyun Province, but also involved areas of many neighboring provinces.

The Eldar are not native to Earth.

The arrival of this extraterrestrial race was due to the massive celestial collision triggered by the Ghost Realm.

This catastrophic event not only brought wandering ghostly creatures to Earth, but also an extraterrestrial civilization, the Spirit Race.

Historical records indicate that they designated three areas around the world as spiritual realms.

These pure white humanoid races do not possess a pure and holy heart. Within the Spirit Realm, humans are divided into four classes, while the third class consists of various common demons.

The insult is clear: humans are worse than wild beasts.

Regardless, in the end, the human race had the last laugh.

The Eldar have become a plane-nomadic people, riding on ghostly creatures like wandering spirits, drifting and wandering among countless planes.

"Everyone is here, and we can prepare to open the Inheritance Tower."

Upon seeing the arrival of the trio receiving the junior inheritance, Vice President Li of the Provincial Association immediately signaled to the staff to begin the next steps.

"Su Chen, you'll be the first to go, and if any of you fails the challenge, the spot will immediately be passed on to the next person in line," he emphasized.

In order to ensure a timely handover, the two substitutes, Feng Xingqin and Luan Dehai, who were ranked fourth and fifth respectively, were also called in.

It's easy to imagine that the two brothers weren't in a very good mood.

In particular, the chance of failure for a minor inheritance is not high. Considering the strength of these three individuals, the chance of failure is really small.

In fact, Vice President Li was just giving a routine notification and didn't really think the three of them would fail.

He said with a smile, "So the three of you should know which mental technique you should choose, right? You only have a 30-second decision-making period. Once that time is up, it will be randomly assigned."

The final reward of the Lesser Legacy is that it enhances the player's mental control and unlocks a soul technique.

Soul techniques can also be seen as an advanced version of mental combat techniques.

This is similar to the meaning of secret techniques: they are passed down privately and are not widely available, but they usually have unimaginable and extraordinary effects.

Within the smaller lineage, six different spiritual techniques can be chosen.

Mental shock, as the name suggests, releases a more powerful mental shockwave.

Consciousness projection can create a spiritual projection to assist in attacks and long-range reconnaissance.

Spiritual purification can dispel evil thoughts, curses, or repair damaged spirits and the mind's consciousness.

Spiritual possession involves infusing one's own spiritual power into a weapon or item, endowing it with powerful spirituality and transforming it into a spiritual weapon to a certain extent.

Soul Contract: Establishing a soul-binding relationship with another person or monster.

Soul resonance allows one to establish a certain spiritual exchange and connection with plants, animals, and even intangible natural elements, thereby gaining more information.

These range from easy to difficult.

Each option has certain requirements.

It cannot be unlocked without meeting certain time limits for completing the game.

The grand prize, undoubtedly, is 'Soul Resonance'.

This ability is no less than an enhanced version of elemental resonance, allowing one to establish a deeper affinity with external elemental energies, and also to act as a forest whisperer, listening to the whispers of the forest, and as a beast whisperer, listening to the thoughts of monsters and communicating with them.

Let alone an elemental mage, any card player involved in dimensional exploration dreams of obtaining this secret technique.

“I can barely reach it, so I have to make do with the ‘soul contract’.” Duan Yingxue smiled calmly, her pupils appearing exceptionally bright under her glasses.

She, as the Dharma King of the Turbulent Currents, should have cleared the pass faster than Xia He.

However, it's highly likely that they won't be able to catch up with that elemental ruler.

According to her sister's prediction, she has virtually no chance of winning the grand prize, so having another summon is a good option.

However, the cultivation method is completely different from the traditional summon card enhancement.

Moreover, limited by the strength of his own soul, he can only contract a two-star monster at this stage, which inevitably means that it can only serve as an auxiliary summon.

"What would you choose?" Xia He looked at Su Chen.

“I’ve also considered ‘Soul Contract,’ but this secret technique of the Spirit Race is not applicable to the human race’s card master system, and the elemental switching effect cannot be used at all. So I can only seek ‘Soul Resonance’,” Su Chen said.

The two substitutes standing nearby seemed rather displeased by Versailles' remarks.
