Elemental Card King.

Chapter 19 Credits and Resource Cards
After class.

Su Chen walked out of the training venue and returned to the classroom alone.

As soon as they arrived at their window seats in the back row, Huang Haoliang and Du Hanping started arguing endlessly about the quality of the practical training course.

"The quality of the practical training is just too poor. What gentleman's agreement? Isn't that just fooling people?" Du Hanping said.

The so-called gentleman's agreement is that in a battle between two summoner classes, the summoned beasts cannot attack their masters.

In martial arts combat, one must not only avoid attacking vital points but also restrain one's strength, and can only wield an unsharpened weapon.

To put it bluntly, it's enough to just touch on the point.

"That's enough. What does being brave and warlike have to do with this glorious era? In this peaceful and prosperous age, are you going to use your martial prowess to kill enemies or to break through dimensional rifts?" Huang Haoliang complained.

In the preceding Age of Rise, humanity, having mastered the power of cards, began to raise the banner of rebellion, overcoming all obstacles and expanding its territory through conquest and expansion, conquering various planes and establishing an unparalleled empire.

University students are the largest source of manpower, always ready to fight against all races in different planes.

Back then, practical training courses were anything but perfunctory.

Back then, there were no students who would ask the school doctor for every little cut on their finger, nor would there be school doctors who looked anxious and worried about losing their jobs.

But now.

In this glorious and prosperous era, alliance flags flew across all planes, and countless monsters became the source material for card players.

Human ancestors, who were oppressed their entire lives, probably never imagined that one day they would be raising ferocious monsters in a protective manner.

"You need to make good use of your knowledge from political history class. Let me put it this way: the main contradiction has now shifted from external to internal factors. The Blue Star Alliance no longer needs too many card masters like you who are always shouting for war."

Huang Haoliang explained it to him in detail.

Du Hanping retorted, "I think 'happy education' just fools the general public. Those elite private schools and aristocratic schools don't have gentleman's agreements. They don't play games at all in real combat. They spend their weekends learning to fight and kill in various martial arts gyms and dojos."

"Humph."

"I think it's simply that some people weld the doors shut after they get on the bus, preventing us from having the opportunity to work hard and improve ourselves."

Ah this.

Su Chen, who had just sat down and opened a book, did not expect that they would have such a long conversation.

"Stop complaining. To put it bluntly, you're stuck in a limbo right now."

Huang Haoliang sighed and said, "On the one hand, we public school students feel that we are not worthy of playing with you, and we have no enthusiasm at all. But it is absolutely impossible for us to get a spot in the card battle competition like Brother Chen."

"You."

"They're stuck in the middle, neither here nor there, which is why they feel so resentful and unfair."

This is the next paragraph.

Du Hanping fell silent, the burly man's face faintly flushed.

He glanced at Su Chen beside him, and finally collapsed into the chair, utterly defeated.

Every year, there are national high school card-playing competitions and math and science competitions.

The First Middle School has a limited number of places, with only three people allowed per competition event.

Given Su Chen's own strength, securing a spot in the practical competition is practically a certainty.

As for those who can only exchange one blow with the opponent's summoned beasts, even if Du Hanping manages to secure a spot, he won't go very far.

Comparing people to each other is really infuriating.

"I forgot to tell you, I also got a spot in the math and physics competition," Huang added, delivering the final, fatal blow.

For a moment, Du Hanping was indeed completely overwhelmed and couldn't regain his composure for a long time.

After the morning classes ended, the bickering and arguing between the two that had lasted for half a day finally came to a complete victory for Huang Haoliang.

The First Middle School does not provide accommodation and does not have any evening self-study sessions.

Everyone here is a day student.

The cafeteria provides meals at noon, and students can choose to rest during the break after lunch. There are only two classes in the afternoon: Politics and History and Dimensional Studies.

Before four o'clock, the first day of classes had officially ended.

Students can choose whether to go home or participate in club activities.

This is what happy education is all about.

"I'm going to join the card game practice club." Du Hanping picked up his backpack.

"Since I can't change the big picture, I'll do my best to change the small picture." He looked like a hero embarking on a journey.

Du Hanping, who had been silent all afternoon after his defenses were broken, did not ask his deskmate Su Chen if he would participate, because before this, he himself had clearly looked down on such small-scale club activities.

Just then, class monitor Xiao Tingting reminded everyone: "The first round of material cards for the new semester has begun. You can apply now through the school's intranet."

"Great!"

Everyone has been waiting for this moment for quite some time.

Amidst the jubilation, not many people left the classroom immediately after school.

Su Chen took out his phone, logged into the school's intranet, and saw his personal academic credits on the student authentication information page.

"25 credits."

This is not the case for every senior high school student.

The elite classes are naturally a cut above the honors classes and regular classes.

According to the homeroom teacher, there are also distinctions within the elite class, and Su Chen himself is most likely in the highest tier.

"You have 20 credits, which is one credit higher than mine."

Inside the lively classroom, many students began comparing their sizes.

"I have 23 credits. Is there anyone with more than me?"

A loud and confident voice rang out at this moment. Xu Zigui, sitting in the middle seat of the classroom, kept looking around, clearly quite pleased with himself.

After spending a day together, everyone had gotten used to this conspicuous person with extremely low emotional intelligence. Fortunately, apart from being carefree, he wasn't a bad person.

With his mind focused, Su Chen had already started searching in the 'Material Card Application' section.

The practical training session in the morning was not without its benefits.

The opponent's summoned creature, the Algae Ghost, possessed both water and spirit attributes, which allowed him to identify a feasible and reliable plan from among a myriad of options.

"Xiao Ling can also awaken her spiritual attributes."

"Mental techniques, like elemental forms, are definitely a common ability that can be controlled and used by small spirits in various elemental forms."

"in addition."

"Could the effect card 'Elemental Amplification' used by the last opponent in conjunction with Thunder Rabbit be used as a strategy to directly enhance Little Spirit's talent 'Elemental Body' and even its attack moves?"

Su Chen sighed inwardly.

After outlining the specific steps, he began the search operation.

Elemental spirits are highly malleable elemental life forms, and their enhancement methods and formulas are far more numerous than those of most summoned beasts.

The way his spiritual attributes were strengthened had already been recorded by Su Chen in his memo.

"There is."

"The school's resource library is pretty good."

After selecting the three tags 'Summoning Card Materials', 'Elemental Monsters', and 'Spirit Attribute', a large list of material cards appeared.

Su Chen immediately saw the [Spiritual Hourglass], [Psychic Gem], and [Immaculate Spiritual Aperture] that he needed.

"5 credits, 5 credits, 7 credits, a total of 17."

Su Chen submitted the application without hesitation.

The school did not outsource its courier service; instead, they had to pick up the materials themselves from the school's material management warehouse. Since the school still had some stock available and there was no need for transportation, Su Chen walked out of the classroom on the spot.

Along the way, he also found a material card that could enhance elemental power.

8 credits.

【Elemental Crystal Sand: Tiny crystals containing elemental energy, produced in underground mineral veins within elemental regions】.

"Just right."

After calculating, Su Chen's newly acquired 25 credits were completely gone, spent without a trace.

This is my first time asking for recommendation votes. I sincerely request recommendation votes every day thereafter. Thank you everyone.
