Elemental Card King.

Chapter 164 Cross-Shaped Radiance Card Back, Elemental Artifact
"The champion of this year's National Middle School Card Game Competition has been officially determined. He is Su Chen from the Qingyun Provincial Team!"

As soon as the referee's voice officially fell, a dazzling display of fireworks erupted in the sky above the entire No. 1 Stadium.

The celebratory fireworks complemented the scene perfectly, with ten different elements of light constantly intertwining and shimmering in the sky.

now.

The large screen in the air was still playing the scene of the battle. The accelerated world, which was difficult to observe with the naked eye, was presented in super slow speed, revealing the thrilling scene in detail.

Amidst the raging swordplay unleashed by Xia He, the illusory figure of the ice fox moved with ease, its spear flashing like a dragon, its power capable of breaking through a thousand pounds.

Perhaps because Xia He was too worried about that thrusting spear, she never expected that her sword domain would be mercilessly destroyed by a sweeping spear attack with a different move.

Similarly, the opponent may have been too cautious about that Holy Shield, preventing them from launching a more aggressive offensive.

This concern is undoubtedly valid.

The final collapse was indeed triggered by Divine Shield reflection.

"No matter how strict the guard is, he will always find a fleeting opportunity."

"This guy shouldn't be an elemental ruler."

"No"

"His talent is perfectly suited to his own abilities. He has mastered the art of melee mage, and his ever-changing kaleidoscope of moves is enough to torment his opponents."

After watching the highlights on screen, many people expressed their amazement.

Even the replicator Cao Zheng's expression was somewhat complicated.

No matter how.

As celebratory fireworks lit up the sky above the stadium, the spectators, still savoring the moment, spontaneously stood up and offered applause and cheers.

This is the most basic etiquette for watching a game.

Most of them are the first in every city in the country, or at the very least, the second.

Geniuses and outstanding talents are as numerous as carp crossing a river.

A small group of people have distinguished backgrounds and social standing.

Some are the children of members of parliament.

Some are descendants of legendary figures.

Some of the top talents are even from prestigious families.

But finally.

The one who reached the final stage and won against everyone was Su Chen.

"Dad's assessment was correct after all," Hong Qi said, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

Hong Yan rolled her eyes at the other person and complained, "Now that's when it has any value. Why won't you admit that Dad said you're hopeless?"

Hong Qi shrugged, speechless for a moment.

Compared to Hong Yan, who ultimately won first prize in the national competition, his twin brother, who was born a second later, only won second prize.

"So handsome!"

"Brother Chen is awesome!"

"See that! Our Qingyun Province has finally produced another champion."

At this moment, amidst cheers, the most sincere and unrestrained emotions naturally belonged to the stands where the Qingyun Provincial Team was located. Apart from Gao Mingxuan and others who were shouting at the top of their lungs, many of the instructors were also deeply moved.

"After 55 years, Qingyun Province has finally produced a national champion again, and this year they even took both the first and second place."

This glorious, traceable example is somewhat distant from their generation; over the years, they have been just catching up.

Some people even lamented that as Qingyun Province begins to lose its population advantage, can it still hope for the next rising star?

at the moment.

finally come.

Even Vice President Li, a high-ranking leader, was embracing a group of students at this moment.

at this time.

The newly crowned national champion waved to his surroundings in thanks, and waved a few more times when he looked toward the area where his provincial team was located.

A tall, graceful girl standing to the side couldn't help but smile as she looked at the spirited young man before her.

Her injuries had already been completely healed by the other party in the first instance.

Xia He's left hand was still holding Xiao Ling's little hand, and the little cutie was jumping and bouncing along with the cheers.

"Great, let's all celebrate!"

Not content with the excitement, Xiao Ling summoned all five elemental clones at once.

The fiery and aggressive Yanlang girl instinctively wanted to start a fight, but after being reprimanded, she calmed down.

While Xiaoling couldn't help but circle around her master a few times, and then couldn't resist running around the field to celebrate, her group of sisters could only chase after their master all the way.

Su Chen glanced at them with great joy.
Next up was the awards ceremony.

"Congratulations, young man, you truly deserve it. Congratulations to my Xuanhuang Kingdom for having another rising star."

The person who stepped forward to offer congratulations was an elderly gentleman in fine clothes, exuding an elegance and demeanor refined by time. This was Yao Yi, the vice president of the China Card Masters Association, who immediately expressed his appreciation for Su Chen.

Lin, the deputy leader of the Youth Card Advanced Education Group, also bluntly stated, "This year's rewards can be considered the highest since the glorious expedition period, and Su Chen, your performance is worthy of this generous reward."

Because the entire conversation was conducted live and broadcast, these words reached everyone's ears.

Ah this
The lively atmosphere around them suddenly quieted down a bit.

"real or fake?"

Many people were stunned. In other words, it meant that Su Chen's own strength was almost at the highest level in history.

If this isn't flattery or exaggeration, then this evaluation is a bit too high.

"Vice President, is Su Chen's strength really that exaggerated?" Pei Xingcang asked curiously.

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Vice President Yu said indifferently.

Looking at the other person's serious face, Pei Xingcang's heart skipped a beat, and he sighed: "Let's just forget it, so as not to be discouraged."

Even the instructors who had guided at least ten competitions couldn't help but make a comparison.

"To be fair, apart from Jiang Ran from three years ago, the other champions were indeed a bit lacking in terms of performance."

He didn't voice this thought to anyone.

Because Jiang Ran, who is still shining brightly, has been recognized as a once-in-a-century prodigy.

If word gets out, it will be a devastating blow to people.

In particular, all three of their team's star players suffered at Su Chen's hands, making it a true three-in-one victory.

"This reward is really generous," Qi Hanhai exclaimed.

Of course, compared to those empty titles, the rewards are what truly matter.

"It's time to choose the S-rank card back."

The large screen in the air also simultaneously displays the currently available S-class card back options.

Ten types of S-grade custom card backs currently in stock, including the 'Black Glitter Card Back', 'Radiant Glitter Card Back', 'Galaxy Card Back', 'Cross Star Card Back', 'Star Card Back', and 'Dark Moon Card Back', appear on the screen. Each card back is a treasure coveted by many.

"This is the greatest honor!" Qi Hanhai, the Pei brothers, and even other scions of prestigious families were all captivated and envious at this moment.

For those of them who grew up with a silver spoon in their mouths, if there's anything they can't buy, or even if they could buy it, but it's an exorbitantly priced item, it's a custom card back.

In today's card culture, custom card backs are closely tied to honors and medals, a theme established since the Great Glory era.

In other words, card backs without any prestige and of dubious origin will only cause huge controversy and ridicule, something that prestigious families are even more wary of.

"Flash cards are so classic, I would choose this series."

The effect of the foil card is directly linked to the damage bonus, and the card back is very shiny and beautiful, so it's no wonder that it has always been popular.

A regular shimmering card is equivalent to a near-S-tier card (S-), providing an unconditional 50% damage boost.

The Black Flash Card is one level higher in quality (S), providing a 66% damage increase and penetration effect.

The Light Flash card grants a 66% damage increase and a blinding effect.

"Cross-shaped star pattern".

At this moment, Su Chen already had an answer in his heart.

He didn't have as much of a passion for collectible cards as others.

and.

From a numerical perspective, if there are too many and too varied methods to amplify damage, it will inevitably lead to some dilution. Not to mention, he can switch to those two S-grade flash cards, one for penetration and the other for blindness, to achieve his goal.

It is somewhat repetitive and quite cumbersome.

of course.

Before making his final decision, Su Chen discussed it with Xiao Ling.

His original intention remains unchanged: he hopes to give Xiaoling the best choice. The current options are not good enough and do not meet his ideal answer.

"Xiaoling is fine with anything." The little cutie patted its chest and blinked at its owner. To it, all of its owner's preferences and decisions were the best.

Su Chen smiled and rubbed its little head.

"My choice is the Cross Star Card Back." Su Chen gave a clear answer. This custom card back has a very special effect, directly giving the card's spatial characteristics a 60% effect bonus.

Single-target special attack, specifically enhances spatial effects.

He also cut out the contract card that he needed to enchant into his hand, which was naturally the Elemental Beast Spirit Card.

In the final stage of the Intermediate Card Master level, the three-star Beast Spirit card can be officially enhanced, and it will usher in the next evolution stage - Multi-Beast Spirit.

At that time, 'phasing out', 'teleportation', and the soon-to-be-born 'spatial perception' and 'spatial blade' will all be enhanced by 60%.

Both Xiao Ling and he himself, who personally control the spirit body, can benefit immensely from obtaining this card.

“Good choice.”

Vice President Yao Yi solemnly accepted the Beast Spirit Card. Without making any move, the air inexplicably rippled violently, and a ball-shaped enchanted light sphere rushed in, its interior constantly flashing with cross-shaped light.

This tiny enchanted orb carries a profound weight of glory.

Yao Yi personally cast a spell, infusing the Beast Spirit Card into an enchanted sphere.

Seeing this scene, Su Chen was filled with emotion.

In fact, this Beast Spirit Card is even his only limited card.

This is still a very difficult situation.

Because the Water Serpent Spirit Card officially entered the public domain after last year's Card Copyright Day, he was able to play with the true limited card by using the talent of switching attributes.

Soon.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the luster of the enchanted orb was completely exhausted, and finally, it burst completely like a bubble that could be easily popped, and the three-star Beast Spirit Card floated out from it.

"Oh my god, my dream love card!"

"This is so pretty."

Amidst the gasps of astonishment, the purple back of the Beast Spirit Card began to shimmer with cross-shaped rays of light, like the most dazzling starlight in the sky, radiating an irresistible allure.

When it is upgraded to red quality in the future, the cross-shaped glow will even emit a red light.

"Damn it, after this Cross of Radiance enchantment, it will be even harder to deal with his spatial skills."

While some players were envious, they also realized that Su Chen had become stronger again, not long after the competition ended.

"Have some decency, this guy really doesn't give us any chance at all," Qi Hanhai couldn't help but complain.

And at this time.

A staff member was on the side responsible for registering and storing the items.

'Owner of the Radiant Cross Card Back: Su Chen (First Place Winner of the Xuanhuang Kingdom Practical Competition)'

He then stepped forward and had Su Chen sign his name.

Yao Yi explained: "Because excessive mining to create enchanted orbs will consume the overall lifespan of the plane itself, the Alliance has corresponding card back records, especially those involving A+ grade card backs, which require more attention."

"I see," Su Chen thought to himself.

At the same time, he felt a little strange, because there was no special photo opportunity on the back of the card he received.

At the time, Vice President Li specifically asked me to hold up the card to show it off and take a photo with him. He even assured me to keep the photo safe and show it to anyone who questioned it.

To achieve this, the guy even stood up straight and tucked in his stomach, making sure he was in the best possible position.

"This vice president is really good at fooling people." Su Chen shook his head and chuckled.

"Here, the medal."

At the prompting, Su Chen bent down slightly and hung a gold medal around his neck.

soon.

A staff member handed him a display board with 100 million Alliance Coins, while one of the champion's rewards, a B-grade cultivation resource, was identified by Su Chen as an elemental divine artifact to assist him in cultivating elemental magic.

Due to time constraints, the champion's prize of 'one secret card' and 'a custom card-powered weapon' will be discussed immediately after the tournament.

"Here come the runner-up and third place."

The organizers quickly moved the process forward to second and third place.

Xia He, as the runner-up, will receive an S-level custom card back. She directly chose the foil card, giving the damage boost to her Peerless Combo card.

In addition, she also received a secret technique inheritance, a custom-made weapon, and a 5000 million bonus.

As the third-place winner, Tang Nianwei also received an A+ grade custom card back. She chose a matrix-style card back and enchanted it with a Core Module card.

"All the first, second and third prize winners of the national competition, please come up to the stage. We will present them with their awards in turn."

At the host's announcement, cheers erupted from the audience.

During this process, the organizers also began to interview and inquire about the confirmed national team roster candidates, since this involves personal wishes, and whether or not to join the team depends entirely on personal aspirations.

However, this was just a routine question, and theoretically, no one would refuse such an offer unless there was a special death in the family.

"Su Chen, it's time for you to take the lead in the national team." Vice President Yao Yi patted the young man on the shoulder, his eyes full of expectation.
