Elemental Card King.

Chapter 156 The Final Day, Su Chen Surprises Again

3 month 20 number.

Today is the final day of the national competition.

Early in the morning, Su Chen received some text messages on this crucial day.

"Keep going, we're waiting for you to come home," Auntie said, sending her best wishes.

At this point, Su Chen remembered that the other person should have gotten up and gone to the cat cafe to feed the cats.

"Keep things as usual, no problem." The homeroom teacher, Yu Dong, sent a text message shortly after.

See this.

Su Chen's thoughts drifted back to an afternoon last summer vacation, when his senior year homeroom teacher, whom he was meeting for the first time, handed him a registration form in a bright and spacious school office.

At that moment, the gears of fate began to turn.

After returning home, he completed the registration form for the National Middle School Card Game Competition.

That happened last August.

More than half a year has passed.

Everything seemed like a dream, so unbelievable.

He has now reached the final stage of the national competition.

The inner field of the No. 1 venue.

The vast venue has only one extra-large ring, and the boundary areas are much larger than those of previous events.

However, there were fewer onlookers.

Strictly speaking, considering the return journey of teams from other provinces, the organizers allowed all eliminated players to stay with their teams to watch the competition, treating everyone equally.

Enjoy generous benefits and allowances, experience the ultimate luxury hotel experience, a wide variety of gourmet dishes, and a comfortable and tranquil meditation room.

With this combination, most of the eliminated contestants remained.

In the Qingyun Provincial Team, Feng Xingqin took leave and left the team.

“That guy has a narrow mind and lacks magnanimity,” Luan Dehai laughed.

Both brothers, who had a long-standing feud, failed to win the third prize in the national competition. However, he had no entanglement with Su Chen. On the contrary, Feng Xingqin was unable to let go of the grudges in his heart due to some past events.

Especially after Su Chen, the Great Demon King, displayed a dominant performance, it seemed to many that it was only a matter of time before he won the championship.

Even if being a hot favorite is a sure thing, their national team spot is already set in stone.

"I'll hit Su Chen? Really?"

Fan Yu gave a wry smile, and her eyes, which had been quite blurry behind her thick glasses, suddenly became clear.

This little scatterbrain just realized that he, ranked 32nd, was going to compete against the 1st place, and in the very first match.

"Why did the teacher only just say that?" she said bitterly.

"No, sister, it's written in the competition rules," the instructor from Jiangbei Province joked, clearly indicating a good relationship.

This tournament schedule was designed to avoid the interference of chance and ensure that top-ranked players do not meet directly in the first round of elimination.

soon.

The stadium welcomed its first opening match.

Su Chen and Fan Yu were teleported to the central arena by a ripple in space.

"Cheers! Applause!"

Gao Mingxuan led the cheering, but the venue was too large and closed to the public, so the applause from the surrounding area was rather sparse.

"This match is completely one-sided."

"Indeed, it was a complete stomp, there was absolutely nothing interesting about it."

No matter how much you hope someone will fail, you can't entrust your hopes to such an unknown nobody.

"Hurry up, next game." Someone ruthlessly complained.

In this regard.

With a world-weary expression, Fan Yu muttered to himself, "Life is so boring."

Her gloomy temperament resembles that of a troubled female student who crawls in a dark and twisted manner, and her contract card deck construction is related to the insect type.

As the referee gestured, his aura grew increasingly somber and sinister.

"Come on." The problem student who loved playing with insects challenged her opponent in the distance. The sinister aura emanating from her body immediately materialized, like spreading dark vines, forming a strange and terrifying sense of distortion.

"start!"

When the countdown ended and the match began.

'Mushishi' Fan Yu has made his move.

hum!
The field effect card instantly covered the surrounding area.

Secret Card: [Mother Nest Rift]!
Countless tiny cracks spread out like blood vessels, intertwining to form a honeycomb grid. A dark green fluorescence emanated from the cracks, quickly filling the entire surrounding area.

The gaps in the mesh began to emit a slight buzzing sound, and under the effect of the wormhole connection and the proliferation of the swarm, tiny, flapping-winged larvae suddenly burst out from them.

"Good heavens, has this been a complete upgrade from slingshot to cannon?"

This scene immediately sparked the interest of many people.

At least in everyone's perception, such a nobody has never been noticed or cared about.

hum!
The surging energy from the cards continuously erupted.

[Swarm Resonance] and [Swarm Link] have taken effect.

The former effect is that whenever a new insect creature appears on the battlefield, the attack power and health of all friendly insect units will be increased, and this effect can be stacked.

The latter establishes a life link between the Bug Master and all insect units, allowing the Bug Master to share a portion of the damage it takes, transferring it to all insect units.

next moment.

The fissures that originally permeated the surrounding area were given life, not only expanding on the earth but also extending into three dimensions, digging downwards and climbing upwards, creating small incubation chambers.

This is a [Nest Expansion]!
With the release of this accompanying effect card, the insect hive area suddenly expanded rapidly beyond its original size, and the efficiency of larvae breeding increased significantly.

"The first move is over."

After the female insect master activated another effect card, [Evolution Chain], a powerful life wave surged in the air, instantly activating the dormant potential within the surrounding insects.

In the future, some insects will have the chance to evolve and unlock the next form.

"This manual construction is quite interesting."

Qi Hanhai, the off-stage eulogist, involuntarily sat up straight, his expression filled with curiosity and a hint of solemnity.

It must be said that their construction ideas are somewhat similar.

One entity is frantically spawning skeletons through the cemetery of the dead.

A swarm of insects is being generated wildly from a crack in the insect nest.

Both are war machines, constantly massing troops.

Other contract cards all follow the same principle: ensuring one's own safety, sharing damage, and enabling units to evolve and increase in strength.

But the biggest difference is also obvious.

"Her field card is mixed with spatial elements, making it very difficult to destroy."

Pei Xingcang also sighed, saying that to be honest, he was a little afraid to face this woman.

"Yes."

Qi Hanhai pondered seriously: "When I faced Su Chen before, he used his superb mental control to divide his divine sense into hundreds of parts and skillfully manipulate the elemental bombardment to destroy my grave."

But now, the fissures and honeycomb that extend and permeate the space are not so easily destroyed.

Now it’s interesting.

"Come on, there's probably going to be a new surprise," the King of the Dead said confidently.

He didn't think the female insect master could trip up Su Chen, a giant, but this chain construction should be enough to keep him busy for a while.

“Indeed, it won’t be an easy fight,” Pei Xingcang concluded.

This common consensus exists in the minds of every player. What was expected to be a boring, one-sided match turned out to be surprisingly pleasant.

"Could it be that?"

A few individuals had bold ideas.

however.

There is no more.

Compared to the overwhelming force of the female insect master's field attack on the other side, Su Chen's side seemed calm and peaceful.

No one witnessed the perfect fusion of the two attributes of the elemental harmony, nor did they see the adorable spirit servant offer up the secret technique of the Five Elements Evolution.

On the contrary, the other party personally controlled the beast spirit body, a spiritual energy fluctuation swirling around him, and a mysterious and majestic spiritual energy armor gradually took shape outside his body.

"This"

Everyone was puzzled. According to Su Chen's previous routine, he would only actively control his spirit body when he encountered a troublesome assassin who suddenly appeared.

Ideally, when facing a board-flooding summoning deck, you should maximize the burst damage of that monster.

Ok?
The female insect master subconsciously felt that her opponent had seen through her trump card.

But she was overthinking it.

hum!
After Su Chen fused with the beast spirit to strengthen his own soul, his eyes gradually transformed into a pair of dragon pupils, and the surging spiritual power emanating from his spiritual armor seemed to solidify and cover a layer of dragon scales.

The brand-new second soul technique, 'Dragon's Blessing', is now activated!
Wow!
next moment.

An unprecedentedly powerful aura suddenly erupted from the sea of ​​consciousness.

Like an ancient dragon awakening, this terrifying pressure swept across the front, filled with a vast majesty and boundless killing intent.

Dragon's Might, here it comes!
With a sweeping pressure, dust and gravel were instantly stirred up like the floor being lifted, and the murderous intent surged and engulfed the swarm of insects rushing towards them.

Everything happened as easily as autumn leaves being swept away. The moment they made contact, under this irresistible force, the swarm of insects was as fragile as paper. Even with their astonishing numbers, they were completely unable to withstand the tremor and cleansing that came from the depths of their souls.

At the same moment, countless insects lost their life force and fell from the sky, instantly creating a vast carpet of death on the ground.

hum!
When Su Chen's figure teleported to the center of the arena, the dragon's might he released completely permeated and covered the entire Mother Nest Rift arena, and every insect hiding in the dark corners felt an unprecedented despair.

Swish!
The dragon's might transformed into a tangible storm, and almost instantly, the terrifying power that made their souls tremble completely destroyed their life force.

In this silent massacre, the rift in the nest gradually became deathly still.

The clamor of flapping wings and chirping insects was replaced by an endless silence, and the few remaining faint buzzing sounds were quickly swallowed up by the aftershocks of the dragon's might.

Everything is over.

Simple and easy.

“Racial oppression, my friend,” Su Chen declared in his final judgment.

In this world, the dragon race has an overwhelming advantage over the insectoid race, with an insurmountable chasm between them.

There are stories of insects transforming into dragons and transcending racial boundaries, but before they can defy fate, humble and weak insects are powerless against the might of dragons.

"I"

Fan Yu was stunned.

"you"

She looked at the tall and aloof figure of her opponent, and perhaps under the oppressive aura of his divine dragon protection, she still couldn't utter a word for a long time.

finally.

The weak and pitiful Mushishi girl looked directly at the referee on the sidelines and said, "I don't want to play anymore."

This is ridiculous!

Her cute little bugs hadn't even undergone their evolution and transformation yet, and their expansion had only just begun when they were wiped out by a single wave of dragon might. What was the point of playing anymore?

Even though she still had cards to play, she had no desire to continue putting up a last-ditch effort.

The referee hesitated for a moment, but seeing that the Mushishi girl was not joking, he quickly announced the result.

"The winner of the first match is Su Chen."

"At the same time, he will successfully advance to the round of 16."

The battle ended there.

Less than ten seconds had passed since the referee announced the start of the match.

now.

Even Gao Mingxuan, who had been shouting loudly, hesitated for a moment before finally sighing, "Brother Chen is too fierce!"

This time, the surprise was truly overwhelming.

The effect of Su Chen's newly acquired soul technique, or more accurately, the effect of the actively unleashed dragon's might, can be considered as a way of showing it off to everyone.

Because this power is inherited from the blessing of the Twilight Dragon God, and is further enhanced by the fusion of spirits and the wearing of spirit armor, the dragon's might erupts with extraordinary ferocity. With the added characteristic of mind-burning vaporization, it can basically annihilate a bunch of small insects instantly.

"I feel so awful!!"

Mo Chenyi, Gao Jun, and the Bei Luo trio, who were watching from the sidelines, all looked pained and frustrated by what had just happened.

In the final chaotic battle for the inheritance, they missed out on this Dragon Blessing secret technique, inadvertently aiding the enemy and enabling their astonishing feat.

"That should have been mine." Judge Gao Jun was furious.

Ge Hao gritted his teeth, still prepared in his heart. He was determined to defeat his opponent in this round, and in the next round, he would inevitably face Su Chen.

"I've prepared myself for the final outcome."

"Su Chen!"

"You must fall in the next round."

The top 32 finalists were divided into 8 groups.

Each group consists of four people, and they compete in a serpentine ranking system, where high-ranking players are paired up with low-ranking players alternately.

In Group A, the 1st and 32nd place, and the 9th and 24th place contestants were assigned to each other.

Ge Hao, who finished 9th, will face Xiao Xiao, the top player from the Yaoguang Provincial Team, in the next match.

The result surprised many people.

This third member of the Beiluo Provincial Team completely overwhelmed his opponent with an armored assault stance. Under the full-power carpet bombing, the poor Xiao Xiao was powerless to fight back.

He had previously suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the clone Cao Zheng, but now he couldn't even qualify to face Ge Hao.

"No wonder these young players from the military dared to say they wanted to win two spots on the national team; they really have some connections." This whole thing left many people speechless.

just
not enough.

"With this much capital, he's not enough to fight against Su Chen, unless he can come up with something more ruthless."

"certainly."

"It doesn't matter if he loses, after all, the next quarter-final match is a preview of the championship."

It is worth mentioning that among the eight groups, ACEG is divided into one half of the bracket.

Group C is led by the replicator Cao Zheng.

Will he lose?

Do not!
He's definitely going to beat the opponents in Group C.

As a result, a quarterfinal match that some people see as a preview of the championship is about to take place.

"Like, very similar."

These two players have very similar roles and their playing styles are almost identical.

He has mastered all three major styles, being proficient in martial arts, magic, and summoning, making him a true all-rounder.

Interestingly, both of them are at the same stage of mastery in terms of mental control, and both have exquisite and meticulous skills.

What's even more remarkable is that both of these young people possess exceptional combat intuition, making them natural-born combat artists.

Ironically, after the Secret Realm Resource Competition, the odds of victory for the two have somewhat reversed, with Su Chen, who has acquired three inheritances, being highly favored.

If you were to ask who the entire Beiluo Provincial Team hates the most, it would undoubtedly be the assassin Ning Yuanzheng. In their eyes, it was this kid who helped the opponent secure first place in the ranking competition, allowing this elemental master to feast to his heart's content in the Ancient Dragon Nest Secret Realm.

Both Shengyu and He Shengliang.

No matter how.

Cao Zheng, the copyist, was indeed not as well-regarded as he was at the beginning.

But it's hard to say.

After all, the opponent had never shown his full strength before, and he had also consumed two great dragon and phoenix inheritances, and had exchanged resources to replenish his immediate combat power. It's hard to say where the replicator's strength ceiling is.

At least this annoying brat always has a carefree and irresponsible attitude, as if he's not interested in any of his enemies.

"So far, no player has been able to get that brat A-Zheng to take the match seriously. It's all too early to say," the coach of the Beiluo provincial team said calmly, arms crossed.

Moreover.

After learning of Ge Hao's change of heart, the instructor felt a pang of regret, but also looked forward to his match against Su Chen.

However, this expectation is undoubtedly mixed with a lot of complex feelings.

"Ah Hao, you have sacrificed too much for this team. You are worthy of being a soldier of the frontier of Beiluo Province."

Even the toughest men have tender hearts.

At this moment, the instructors were all looking at Cao Zheng and Tang Nianwei with some anger. They couldn't bear to watch them fail to meet in the finals.
