Elemental Card King.

Chapter 127 Seeded Player, Su Chen Can Still Deliver Surprises

The next day.

The Qingyun Provincial Team registered early in the morning, mainly to enter information on their personal driving weapons (armor) and card weapons (weapons).

Once entered, it cannot be changed.

This national competition still only allows the use of E-class drive weapons, with three corresponding cards, while the card weapons are limited to four stars.

Undoubtedly, the Alliance Parliament's control over the former is far more stringent than that over the latter.

The saying "One armored soldier is worth three cannons, and three armored soldiers will go to the Yellow Springs" is not an exaggeration.

In addition to its outer defensive capabilities, the driving weapon also possesses various extraordinary amplification effects, enough to completely transform a card player's strength.

This is something that early card game developers could not have imagined or even come close to.

“Drive Armor - Spirit Armor, a Spirit Warrior.”

The staff member of the association looked up at Su Chen's figure and said, "The three cards are Giant Spirit Card, Illusion Spirit Card and Shadow Spirit Card; the weapon is the four-star Nebula Scepter."

soon.

The entire Qingyun Provincial Team completed the registration of all information.

Since their office was located inside the hotel, they didn't need to go far.

"If I don't make it into the national training team, I'll lose my transformation device." Luan Dehai touched the drive motor in his hand with a sense of loss.

After the national competition, all players who ultimately failed to make it into the national team will surrender their driving weapons.

After all, they only have temporary usage rights during the competition period, not ownership rights.

"Unlike you, you're getting all anxious. The champion's reward is a set of custom-made drive equipment," Gao Mingxuan said with a smile.

"You are so arrogant and ignorant."

Luan Dehai was too lazy to say anything more to the other party. No matter how arrogant he was in the past, he still felt immense pressure after leaving Qingyun Province. Could this hot-blooded idiot understand?

It's obvious he has no chance of getting into the top three in the national competition; even if the first-place winner gets a complete set of fully owned drive-type weapons, it's still out of his reach.

At worst, if he fails to win first prize in the national competition and thus misses out on a guaranteed admission to a prestigious university, then what's the point of all his efforts over the past six months?

"We'll meet force with force and water with earth. No matter what the opponent looks like, we'll deal with them." Gao Mingxuan said confidently.

"You should beat Su Chen first," Luan Dehai said dismissively.

have to say.

After going on a long trip, the provincial team members, who had been focusing on their training, generally experienced a certain psychological letdown.

this morning.

They had already heard about the first talent sequence holders.

Three players emerged from the Jiangnan provincial team.

Not only them, but even the provincial team from Da Zhou who had registered and lined up earlier were discussing it enthusiastically, their words revealing their surprise.

What comes out on paper is ultimately shallow.

Even minors, through constant exposure, come to understand to some extent how prosperous Jiangnan Province is.

Jiangnan Province not only boasts the largest economy in the country, but its educational resources are also among the best. The combination of these two factors is like a continuous flow of fresh water, ensuring that a new batch of provincial team members with outstanding overall strength can be produced every year.

Even so, the sudden emergence of three individuals with the highest talent sequence is still somewhat exaggerated.

As for the strength of the Beiluo provincial team, it was entirely within many people's expectations.

No matter what, they were still members of a martial and valiant legion.

To put it dramatically, if they fail to make the national team for a year, the government should be the ones most worried. If the quality and skills of the frontline players are lacking, that's not a good sign.

"We'll aim for at least one spot, and strive for two, or even three, national team selections!"

This year, the Beiluo Provincial Team is still full of vigor and has generously and boldly released its slogans to the outside world.

"Besides these two strong teams, there's another team worth paying attention to, the Capital Team," someone sighed to themselves.

As the capital of the country, Beijing holds a unique political status, enjoying the same treatment as provincial-level administrative units.

Besides these, there are some other strong provincial teams worth paying attention to.

“The overall strength of Daxia Province, Tianfu Province, and Xuanwu Province is very stable. Instead of focusing on these trivial matters, we should focus on ourselves,” Duan Yingxue said rationally.

To forge iron, one must be strong oneself; that is the fundamental truth.

"Su Chen!"

At that moment, a cheer came from not far away.

In the elegantly decorated corridor, a young woman in a dress waved, and beside her, a handsome young man who looked similar to her also waved.

"Long time no see." Su Chen immediately stepped forward to greet him.

The two people in front of me are Hong Yan and Hong Qi. It has been more than a month since we last met.

"Let's cheer each other on in the national competition! You'd better dominate the competition!" Hong Yan wasn't too reserved with her savior, while Hong Qi was a little shy.

"Okay, good luck." Su Chen's expression was calm. He didn't put himself on a pedestal. To be honest, he was still grateful to the other party's father.

The legendary card player's act of repaying his father's kindness did indeed resolve a major issue that had been weighing on his mind; that weighty truth was still very important to him.

Not to mention that he also successfully deciphered the new elemental diagram.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the Daxia provincial team had to rush off to register their information.

"Looks like you're quite popular." At this moment, Xia He's gentle voice drifted over, like a breeze brushing past one's ear.

Su Chen turned his head and his gaze fell on her cool and beautiful face. Without thinking much, he couldn't help but explain to her.

After listening, Xia He nodded slightly and said, "Let's practice together after dinner."

the other side.

Mo Chenyi from the Great Xia Provincial Team glanced curiously at the departing figure and casually asked, "That guy must be pretty strong, right?"

A hint of reminiscence appeared on Hong Qi's face: "Indeed very strong."

This statement carries little weight and reveals no information about related talents or decks.

"Is he also a first-tier talent sequence user?" Mo Chenyi asked curiously.

“No.” Hong Qi shook his head.

"Oh."

Mo Chenyi immediately appeared nonchalant.

"My dad said he's exceptionally strong."

However, when Hong Qi uttered his next sentence, the team's top leader immediately raised his eyebrows, his face revealing an intense interest.

interesting!
After all, for a legendary card player to give such a high evaluation, his strength must indeed be not to be underestimated.

"The first stage of the national competition starts early on the 10th. In this points-based competition, you will have at least ten matches. You should have understood the rules last night, right?" Teacher He Yun said.

After registering their information, the group returned to their private room to have breakfast.

Simultaneously.

A routine meeting was also held.

"The tournament format is too long, I didn't watch it. Anyway, I'll just play one match at a time and it'll be over." Gao Mingxuan said, his mouth full of water as he ate a dumpling.

Compared to the competition rewards, the overly detailed competition rules have indeed been overlooked by some individuals.

Teacher He Yun simply picked out the key points and gave a brief summary.

In the first stage of the points-based competition, each person plays at least ten rounds. The preliminary round alone perfectly illustrates what high-intensity and high-stakes competition means.

Even intermittent rest periods are not provided, which is also a stress test and an overload test of fighting willpower.

In this game, the winner gets 3 points, the draw gets 1 point each, and the loser gets 0 points.

Also.

There are two principles in the draw for this preliminary round.

First, the principle of avoiding conflicts of interest within the same provincial team.

Second, the principle of avoiding seeded players.

"This means you won't draw your own people in the draw, which is also to prevent your team from throwing the game."

"in addition."

"To prevent unlucky players from consistently drawing the first or second seed from each provincial team, resulting in disastrous performances, a second avoidance principle has been established." "That is, each provincial team will produce two seeded players, and they will not draw each other in the lottery."

"Our team of instructors has currently identified Su Chen and Xia He as our two top picks. Do you have any other thoughts or opinions?"

Teacher He Yun recounted everything in one breath.

Since then.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent.

The atmosphere also seemed a bit somber.

"So, can we compete?" Luan Dehai broke the silence.

"Ah! If the seeded players could be decided through ring battles, I'd like to sign up too!" Gao Mingxuan's little brain worked for a moment before he realized what he was doing, and he immediately raised his hand to vote.

"I also need to sign up for the competition."

Feng Xingqin, who usually keeps a low profile, also raised his hand to indicate his participation.

Resources must be fought for.

Seed spots are even more competitive.

On the path of a combat card master, you can't succeed without any competitiveness; you can't get anywhere like a tamed sheep.

The instructors of the Qingyun Provincial Team could not refuse these requests, otherwise it would ruin the morale of the entire team. However, to their surprise, Duan Yingxue, the nominal third member of the team, chose to remain silent.

This intelligent and intellectual young woman clearly gave up.

Zhu Wan'er glanced at the other person, then at Su Chen and Xia He, and finally sighed.

“This isn’t a one-man show. Since there are objections, let’s try to challenge them,” Vice President Li said, clapping his hands in approval.

Aside from Gao Mingxuan, that idiot, challenging Su Chen, the team's top player, everyone else was very utilitarian, aiming their shots at Xia He.

"Looks like our post-dinner challenge will have to be postponed," Su Chen said.

Perhaps her interest had been dampened, Xia He's expression turned cold: "I'll resolve this as soon as possible."

20 minutes after the meal.

They headed to the training grounds provided by the hotel. Interestingly, there was another provincial team in quarantine who needed to have a match and discuss things.

just.

Everything ended too quickly.

The aloof young woman, clad in icy armor, held a long sword that gleamed with cold light. With a flick of her wrist, she deflected one dark light bullet after another with pinpoint accuracy, accompanied by the resounding clang of the sword.

It's hard to say whether Xia He was influenced by Su Chen, which is why she chose such a four-star longsword-type weapon with a parrying effect.

But I must say, it's a perfect match with the other person's personality.

'Moon Shadow Leap'!
The returning dark light bullets cast shadows on the ground.

After a series of rapid leaps, Xia He traversed most of the arena in just two seconds, closing in on her opponent.

after that.

ended.

The terrifying, sea-like tearing and slicing waves instantly engulfed Feng Xingqin's figure.

Swish!
The boundless blood, like water from a showerhead, splashed freely from the other's body.

puff!
As the figure crashed to the ground, the armor it wore shattered into pieces, and multiple parts of its torso suffered tearing fractures.

Instant kill!

Sold instantly.

In pursuit of a decisive victory, Xia He used a combination of [Split Slash], [Critical Strike], [Sword Resonance], and the five-card [Sword Master] contract in one go.

In addition to unleashing all four cards, the individual's two innate traits and the soul technique 'Spiritual Power Attachment' are also activated, which can be said to instantly maximize short-term burst damage to a terrifyingly high level.

"This"

The entire audience was shocked by this scene. Even if Feng Xingqin's strength was not up to par, he shouldn't have been instantly killed.

He's at least a top-five player on the team!
"I give up." Luan Dehai gave a bitter smile on the spot, his face almost wearing a mask of pain.

A dozen seconds later, seeing the fallen figure regain a sliver of consciousness after receiving frantic treatment, he couldn't help but say, half-mockingly, "Thanks, brother, for stepping on this landmine for me."

"Do you guys play this wildly in private too?" Gao Mingxuan was also surprised. The top two in the team had been practicing together all the time. If their training quality was this terrifying, it seemed that he had no chance of winning at all.

"So you're having second thoughts?" Su Chen said.

"Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war; there is no reason to retreat."

After a brief period of discouragement, Gao Mingxuan eventually regained his high spirits.

Once they reached the ring, their excitement and exhilaration surged even higher.

His eyes seemed to burn with fire as he pleaded, "Please don't hold back. I want to witness your full strength."

"Okay." Su Chen pondered for a moment, then nodded. Xia He had been so quick and efficient, he couldn't keep her waiting any longer.

"He's as easy to talk to as ever," Gao Mingxuan sighed inwardly, his thoughts drifting back to their first duel in the ring.

"This guy is really something, what's so great about fighting him?"

On the edge of the arena, most people were speechless. This battle was completely predictable. No matter how much trouble that little black dragon caused, it was destined to be countered by the elements. Why bother going up there and suffering?

"What an idiot." Luan Dehai clenched his fists, his tone tinged with a strange bitterness.

After witnessing the terrifying power of Xia He's judgment, he backed down.

Unexpectedly, this idiot with delusions of grandeur still refused to give up challenging the number one player in the team.

damn it.

Why is he so stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat?!

Just as everyone expected.

There was absolutely no suspense or possibility of a reversal in this match.

"Fuck!!!"

What's even more alarming and exhilarating is that Su Chen actually revealed a portion of his true strength, just as the other party had hoped.

hum! !

The dazzling light completely illuminated the entire venue, filling every corner and enveloping everyone in its glow.

The entire arena, no, the entire spacious arena, was dominated and controlled by a single will.

“Something’s wrong”

The supervising teachers were all stunned.

Duan Lianqing, the senior researcher accompanying the team, was also stunned.

Wang Liyang, who was usually serious, revealed a satisfied smile.

Feng Xingqin, who had just gotten up from the ground, stared wide-eyed, his face blank with disbelief.

The increasingly glaring light forced them to look away or close their eyes.

Su Chen, who was in the audience, couldn't help but smile.

This combination works even better than I expected.

The almost miraculous action before his eyes was triggered by his mastery of the Sun Observation Technique, his entry-level Elemental Technique (with elemental control characteristics), his soul technique 'Soul Echo' (enhanced resonance), his spell card [Holy Light Impact], and his proficient mental control.

Under the combined effects of the fivefold action, the light element particles he could instantly summon seemed to be endless, like a surging tide.

The dark-attribute abyssal dragon in front of us has truly had a terrible time.

at this time.

After a brief hesitation, Vice President Li burst into laughter.

He immediately realized that there were too many extraordinary displays of strength below.

Surprise!

I never expected Su Chen could still deliver such a surprise.

When the giant dragon crashed to the ground in the arena, he cheered, "Old Yu, your first-ranked fighter should wash his neck and get ready!"
