Elemental Card King.

Chapter 218 Breakthrough in Elemental Magic, Eye of Magic Breaker, Advancement to the Elimination Rounds (2-in-1)

end of June.

The Xuanhuang team packed their bags and set off for their next destination.

Because the Moon Federation has its defense mechanisms open around the clock, this journey to Mercury can only be undertaken by a spaceship.

"It's even more enjoyable!" Cao Zheng exclaimed excitedly.

At least the legion members from his side had never actually visited any extraterrestrial star systems in the main plane.

Inside Jiangdu International Airport.

The group then began shopping at the airport duty-free shop. Su Chen bought two bottles of local specialty whisky, which were expensive and exquisitely packaged, making it seem almost too precious to open and drink.

My aunt mentioned in a private chat that the bottles of wine he had previously purchased were stored in the basement wine cellar, and he seemed very reluctant to part with them, or perhaps he was waiting for a good day to drink them.

Perhaps it will be the day Su Chen wins the championship.

Perhaps it was the day the Lingyun dimension was rescued in October.

As a cutting-edge R&D center for card equipment, Jiangdu is also experiencing rapid development in related civilian fields.

At the duty-free shop of Universal Card, Su Chen personally selected a health treatment device powered by the civilian card "Healing Therapy," which can solve common external injuries, sudden death, and other unexpected problems with one click.

Especially considering that my uncle often works overtime, preventing sudden cardiac death sounds very reliable.

"Shipping by mail".

When Su Chen paid the bill, he wrote down the address of Donghua City, which marked the end of his duty-free shop trip.

Soon.

The group reunited, chatting and laughing.

On the same interplanetary flight.

In addition to some tourists, several national teams also set off together.

They mostly spotted each other when boarding the plane.

The Indian team was very conspicuous.

The man wore a headscarf and a long robe, while the woman wore an exotic long dress that revealed a section of one shoulder, making her look quite charming.

"If I remember correctly, their captain was playing the Asura deck," Tang Nianwei said.

Asuras are easily angered and belligerent, and are also religious guardian deities.

This deck is positioned as a berserk, combat-oriented deck. With a certain degree of Mythic intimidation and pressure, its strength is extremely explosive and beyond the control of ordinary players.

Tianzhu is reportedly led by two key players.

The other charming lady possesses the same fantasy fusion talent as Qi Jinglong. She also plays with localized sacred beasts, including Garuda, White Elephant, and Divine Ox Cards.

One of the Divine Ox cards in his possession is a true mythical summon beast.

"According to the intelligence, they are rated at most as a top-eight team, and don't seem to have much potential to win the championship," Qi Hanhai said.

India's national team ultimately falls short compared to the foundation laid by a superpower.

No matter how you look at it, the two core players leading this team couldn't withstand the offensive of the Orcish army from the Divine Eagle Kingdom.

"You really think highly of us. If it weren't for luck, according to our intelligence, you probably wouldn't have made it past the third round of the qualifiers."

The captain of the Indian team, who was not far away, said disdainfully with a fierce look on his face.

Through the automatic translation and transcription function of its miniature earpiece, the original meaning of these words was conveyed to Qi Hanhai completely and accurately.

The necromancer was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting anyone to be wearing a translator. However, upon reflection, he realized he hadn't said anything offensive, so why was the other person being so aggressive?

They really think they're some kind of Asura?

"I laughed. I can easily crush you guys."

Cao Zheng, being a reckless and unruly person, immediately stepped forward and took over the conversation.

The flight attendant seemed to realize there was a dispute and immediately stepped forward.

As the Xuanhuang team's coaching staff boarded the plane one after another, Galawa gave Cao Zheng a meaningful look before turning around and sitting down.

Su Chen, who had just boarded the plane, was still talking with Xia He when he noticed some tension creeping into the air.

soon.

Behind them.

In addition to tourists from all over the world, national team members from the Kingdom of Glory also appeared on this interstellar flight.

As the defending champion, their strength should not be underestimated.

This year's Trident, in particular, is determined to continue defending its glory.

They glanced at the other teams around them. One of the team members was also taken aback when he spotted the Xuanhuang team. He muttered "lucky break" and didn't say anything more before sitting down in the lower left corner.

soon.

After a team dressed in civilian clothes had boarded the spaceship, the entire interstellar spaceship took off.

A few hours later.

The spaceship arrived at its destination, arriving directly at an interstellar spaceport on Mercury.

"what!"

"I have no problem breathing, and I don't feel any effect from changes in gravity."

Upon landing, many people immediately noticed that the surrounding environment had been modified to be extremely suitable for the human body.

"Oh no, if we have to fight in a zero-gravity environment next, it will be very difficult to adapt."

This is bad news, but it also gives extraterrestrials a significant home-field advantage.

The good news is that their opponents were too weak.

Perhaps realizing this, the other teams that disembarked at the same time also glanced at the Xuanhuang team.

The Indian team, in particular, is in a very dangerous situation as they are in the "group of death".

Everyone is in a life-or-death battle.

You guys are doing well, coming here as tourists.

At the port's covered walkway.

The organizers of this event also thoughtfully arranged reception tasks, with each team in a separate vehicle, to minimize any potential conflicts or misunderstandings.

Their accommodation for the next two weeks will be at the North Star Hotel.

The central courtyard is topped with a huge transparent dome, from which the dazzling starry sky can be clearly seen.

"Shui Lan Ting, the entire courtyard has been contracted to our team."

Following the signs, they arrived at a large courtyard, which even featured artificial waterfalls and river landscapes, demonstrating its luxuriousness.

It contains a gravity-controlled training area where the gravity coefficient can be adjusted to train and exercise the body.

There is also a virtual reality area, which allows people to train in any virtual environment in a more immersive way.

of course.

Many people rushed to the stargazing platform as soon as possible, because without the barrier of the atmosphere and air pollution, it is an excellent place to observe the outer starry sky.

"Alright, each of your rooms has a personal meditation room. After resting, it's time to get ready," the teacher reminded them.
For these young people, the only time they can relax during the intense training camp is when they are moving between training sessions.

They didn't even bother to explore the culture and customs of other countries.

Tang Nianwei had been talking about Dr. Morris's personal museum, and she hadn't even had a chance to see the first prototype of the Kavu machine before the group set off to visit another place.

just now.

They were undoubtedly training and fighting in a different location.

"After winning the championship, I vowed to stop training for ten days and have as much fun as I wanted." Cao Zheng could hardly contain himself and felt like he was on the verge of breaking down.

"Alright, stop making empty promises. Now go and meditate and cultivate obediently," Qi Hanhai said speechlessly.

The two have never gotten along and often bicker.

Not to mention that the replicator has been eyeing his preferred position all along.

However, perhaps because of the Indian captain who had previously spoken out against him, Qi Hanhai's tone softened.

soon.

The entire Water Garden became peaceful, and the contestants returned to their individual meditation rooms to cultivate.

Room 001.

Su Chen, who was sitting cross-legged here, was still wearing that small and exquisite elemental spirit mirror, holding a round and pearl-like spirit source crystal in his hand, and was cultivating elemental magic as always.

However, judging from its color, the spiritual light contained within this radiant crystal has been almost completely exhausted.

Before parting ways with Aunt Jing, in addition to giving her a Heavenly Guardian Token depicting a six-winged angel of light, she also gave her a C-grade cultivation resource, the Spirit Source Crystal, which could be said to meet her cultivation needs for the rest of the time.

hum!
As the cultivation progressed, the alternation of the ten-colored elemental luster became increasingly turbulent and intense.

next moment.

Ten-colored elemental fluctuations swirled and shone on Su Chen at a dazzling speed, their brilliant light intertwining to form a magnificent and eye-catching elemental painting.

The heat of fire, the flow of water, the lightness of wind, and the stability of earth—the emerging elemental fluctuations weave together to create a complex yet harmonious surging wave.

The leaping and dancing elemental forces seemed to be the natural laws themselves performing a silent symphony.

As the elemental fluctuations intensified, an energy fluctuation that was about to reach its peak permeated the air.

This power pierced through the tightly sealed meditation room completely.

In the outer courtyard, the artificial waterfall landscape suddenly seemed to lose all restraint, as if it had been filled with a mighty river. The entire pond suddenly swelled and instantly overflowed the surrounding steps.

The air became visibly humid, and a light rain suddenly fell.

This is only the water element.

The plants in the courtyard swayed gracefully, the wind blowing through the hall became wilder, the surrounding lights began to flicker and shimmer abnormally, and the shadows of everything were distorted, as if being pulled by an invisible hand, becoming sometimes long and sometimes short.

All sorts of bizarre sights came in a torrent and receded violently.

"this!!"

The arriving teacher was just beginning to notice the change when the elemental anomaly vanished without a trace.

"It's nothing, just a normal breakthrough."

As teachers in the advanced education group, they quickly realized that Su Chen had achieved a breakthrough in elemental magic.

"The Primordial Elements Law itself does not belong to the public domain."

"I heard that Su Chen is cultivating the new version of elemental magic, and judging from its strength, it should be much stronger than the old version."

During the teachers' conversation.

Teacher He Yun, who rushed over after inquiring, was also overjoyed.

Breakthrough!
As the surging, rampaging elemental fluctuations quickly subsided and converged within his body, Su Chen realized that his Primordial Elemental Technique had smoothly entered the mastery stage.

Everything went as expected.

He can achieve a breakthrough in a short period of time.

The elemental fluctuations that just overflowed from the body are undoubtedly strong evidence of breaking through the bottleneck.

A series of insights also began to emerge in individual consciousness.

'Elemental Demon Eye'!
It can also be called the Eye of Law Breaker.

This is a pupil technique that utilizes the chaotic and profound power of the ten elements to disintegrate all incoming magical attacks.

Amidst his fluctuating thoughts, Su Chen, on a whim, immediately activated the effect of this pupil technique.

hum!
A faint light shone in his eyes, and a ten-colored, intertwined ring appeared within his pupils.

"I see."

Su Chen personally experienced it and immediately sensed the operating principle within this Eye of Law Breaking.

The pupil technique automatically identifies and analyzes the composition of spells, and then releases the corresponding elemental power from the pupil to neutralize or disintegrate these spell attacks.

When an incoming spell lacks elemental counters, it will directly combine the ten elements into one place, using its immense power to disintegrate like a flying brick.

This is somewhat similar to Xia He's newly awakened Great Collapse characteristic, but this Magic-Breaking Eye is clearly a special attack against magic-based attacks.

"Try the effect."

In an instant.

Under Su Chen's gaze, the elemental fluctuations remaining in the meditation room within his field of vision were rapidly and frantically erased.

It's like an invisible eraser suddenly appeared out of nowhere, rapidly wiping away strands of different elemental fluctuations.

"Very efficient."

According to his estimation, a four-star spell attack should be more than enough to disintegrate it.

Then there's another new mental combat skill that's been unlocked.

That's 'Elemental Imprisonment'!
As the name suggests, it is a control skill that can form a chain of restraint with the interwoven power of ten elements, completely enveloping and binding the target.

Keng!
The sound of chains being dragged inexplicably broke out in my ears.

Like chains woven from luxurious silk, they seem to extend from the void, their surface shimmering with a soft luster, yet possessing a toughness no less than that of steel.

Its chains are engraved with intricate and complex runes, which are quite dazzling when they shimmer in the light.

"He's bound to thin air." Since there's no target or any reference point, Su Chen has no idea how strong the binding is.

However, what is certain is that as the Lord of Elements, he is an Elemental Master who can unlock the full-body elemental transformation effect in the proficiency stage. It can be said that this series of elemental mental combat skills will unleash an extremely exaggerated intensity on him.

The Primordial Elemental Law was practically tailor-made for it.

"It possesses the Eye of Magic Breaker, capable of neutralizing and suppressing spell-based attacks."

"Another elemental imprisonment has been added, supplementing our strong control abilities."

Overall, it's very good.

Also.

His previously unlocked mental combat skills have also been greatly enhanced.

First is 'Element Absorption', a passive characteristic that is meant to convert external elemental energy into one's own spiritual power.

Now, it can be described as elemental devouring, greedily absorbing external fluctuations almost like plunder.

The passive characteristic 'Elemental Energy Storage' that can be used in conjunction with it allows the reservoir in one's mental sea to be built larger and larger, so that it can continuously convert mental energy even in an elementless environment.

At the same time, one can also condense elemental pills, allowing oneself to replenish a large amount of spiritual energy at any time in case of emergency.

"besides."

"Now a single Palm Grenade has at least the strength of a four-star purple weapon."

A bolt of lightning erupted from Su Chen's palm, its violent and dazzling purple light causing a strong burning smell to fill the surrounding air.

'Elemental Control' also makes the elemental energy that one controls and releases increasingly powerful.

This is just the normal state; when combined with the effect of controlling a spirit body, this power will increase even more terrifyingly.

As for elemental affinity and elemental resistance, which he thought were hard to increase further, they seemed to have broken through a certain diminishing marginal effect, making Su Chen suddenly realize that he had undergone a significant transformation.

"Everything is moving in a better direction."

Su Chen smiled calmly, and the Spirit Source Crystal in his hand had completely consumed the last trace of spiritual light during the previous round of elemental magic cultivation.

Now comes the problem.

After reaching the mastery level in the new version of the Primordial Elemental Technique, what should one do next?

Meditation practice?

With the nine cards in the contract chosen as a five-star mythical elemental phoenix, Su Chen unexpectedly discovered during his personal mental strength test the day before yesterday that the mental gift brought by this one secret card alone amounted to a full 127 energy.

Thanks to the enhancements and gifts of this time, especially Xiao Ling's True Spirit Magic and Martial Arts characteristics, Su Chen's mental power even broke through to 903 in one go.

This efficiency is astounding.

Although the progress bar for later cultivation has been lengthened considerably, the rewards from contracts and enhancements have also increased significantly.

of course.

Ordinary card players will not receive corresponding buffs if they choose mediocre cards in their contract choices.

"However, no matter how much I cultivate, I may not be able to meet the requirements of the next contract card," Su Chen sighed inwardly.

The standard for a ten-card contract is 1300 energy.

Some of these are indefinitely postponed, making it impossible to meet all the requirements before the finals.

Not to mention that once they entered the underground holy city for seven days of training, there was no time to cultivate during that period.

"Let's pick up the Sunrise Method first."

He pondered for a moment, then reaffirmed his answer.

Having witnessed the strength of a half-orc who cultivated through dual systems, Su Chen also wanted to pick up the Sun Observation Technique again after a four-month hiatus, in order to further enhance his physical strength and warp efficiency.

As for comprehending the third meditation diagram, he is not considering it for the time being.

Too much to chew.

The mental combat skills he had just mastered were not very effective, and besides, he hadn't considered the choice of the third meditation diagram.

"Let's do this for now."

Su Chen was very satisfied and stretched lazily as he stood up.

I always feel great after achieving something.

At this moment, he could also sense the joy on the faces of the instructors in the courtyard, who were clearly delighted by the elemental disturbance that had just occurred.

"It's safe, this wave is really secure."

Faintly, cheers from Mr. Wu Zhongming could be heard outside.

6 month 2 number.

The opening match of the third round of qualifiers has officially begun.

All the players from the Xuanhuang team were also present, and they did not ignore the factors of the venue environment just because their opponents were so weak.

At the very least, we should familiarize ourselves with the characteristics of this weightless space field.

The opening match is between the host team, Watermoon Federation, and the Titans.

Ironically, Titan was once part of the Watermoon Empire, but due to the Watermoon Rebellion 120 years ago, much of its territory was dismantled by the Alliance.

"This is a case of the father beating the son." Many viewers smiled knowingly.

Among these.

The number one player in Shuiyue, the 'Dragon Rider,' is also the most watched person.

but.

This match was clearly not intense enough.

The Dragon Rider merely summoned an Ultimate Destruction Dragon, much like the Star of Destruction Magician. This giant dragon wantonly destroyed and ruined the effects of multiple field cards.

The dragon's terrifying destructive power far surpasses any other dragon, and its explosive effect is visually unmatched by any magician.

"So far, we haven't been able to force out his Dragon Warrior side."

In the host's box, Fred Riley, a distinguished teacher from Moon Lake University, clapped his hands in praise.

"Who would have thought that since he went to Tianwu University to obtain the War God's inheritance, no one has been able to force him to use his Dragon Warrior form."

Think of this.

Suddenly, Mr. Philid remembered something important. He stood up and peered out of the box window, trying to spot the familiar boy in the circular seating area.

Two months ago, as a representative of the Academic Affairs Office, he actively and personally coordinated an important resource exchange with Tianwu University.

The number one expert of Xuanhuang that day came to visit and successfully unlocked a special spiritual attribute for the adorable demon spirit doll.

then
At his own insane suggestion, a friendly match was arranged. That match not only broke the mentality of Ji Linbin, the team's second-best player, but also took him some time to recover.

Even Philid himself turned red on the spot, exclaiming that a monster had been hatched from the treason.

"Looking back, I was too impulsive. Su Chen had just undergone a major upgrade and unlocked two fusion forms. I must have been out of my mind to send the team members to practice with him."

After several sleepless nights, once he reviewed the situation, Fred realized that he had done a series of stupid things.

We should at least wait until Ji Linbin completes the reinforcements before we can face him.

This is clearly unfair.

However, we underestimated our opponent earlier.

The director of the academic affairs office also scolded himself quite a bit.

at the moment.

He finally saw the figure of the boy he had been thinking about for many days from the box at a 77° angle to the west.

After sensing a gaze upon him, the spirited young man quickly turned his gaze over as well.

Upon recognizing him as an "old acquaintance," the other person nodded with interest, as if to say hello.

"This guy," Philid nodded in response, but he was also secretly surprised. In such a noisy and chaotic environment, and at such a great distance, Su Chen was still able to respond so quickly.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in his previously well-adjusted mindset.

混蛋
There's something wrong with this kid!

While everyone around him applauded and cheered for the victory, Fred clapped his hands somewhat mechanically.

the other side.

Inside the VIP box where the Xuanhuang team was located.

Teacher He Yun noticed that Su Chen seemed to be greeting someone in a distant private room a moment ago, and she asked curiously, "Were you greeting someone?"

"Ah."

Su Chen nodded: "A nice person I don't know very well."

"That's great, there are still many good people in this world." He Yun smiled.

When the time came to 9:30, the first match of Group B began, with the Xuanhuang team personally facing off against the Solis National Team.

The opponent comes from a small country on the continent of Saint Asia.

There's nothing interesting about it.

Since the opening match, most of the few remaining spectators have gone home to train diligently.

"Oh, you're here too."

The Watermoon team had a dedicated intelligence-gathering instructor, but he didn't expect that this Watermoon University's Philid would come to watch such an insignificant game.

"It's nothing, I'm just killing time anyway," Fred replied with a forced smile.

When he saw Su Chen summon a mythical elemental phoenix, he sighed almost imperceptibly. He hadn't expected that after two months apart, this guy had not only reached the advanced card master stage but had also contracted such a domineering mythical summon beast.

This scene alone made him realize that Ji Linbin was no match for him at all.

broken! !
Indeed, it was impossible to discern Su Chen's strength in this match. The demonic puppet was clearly holding back, as if it was letting the little phoenix get used to real combat.

Even so, this little phoenix, which had clearly only recently been contracted, already displayed terrifying offensive capabilities, frequently striking first.

Mr. Philid's heart skipped a beat. After the competition ended, he immediately picked up his phone to check the schedule.

Um.
I'm not watching my own Shuiyue team.

Instead, they specifically searched for the Xuanhuang team's schedule and the individual match schedule of that number one player.

"Is this really necessary?" A colleague noticed the other man's subtle actions, completely surprised that he would care so much about the Xuanhuang team.

Let's set aside whether the Xuanhuang team deserves such effort.

The situation in Group B is practically a guaranteed win for the Xuanhuang team; they could probably beat them with their eyes closed. With such a situation, why bother going out of your way to watch?

It would be far better to care about that Martian goddess!
In the days that followed, Su Chen never expected that there would be a figure like a resentful woman, anxious and insecure, watching his matches from the VIP seats.

But there really wasn't anything worth looking at.

They're not on the same level at all.

Su Chen seemed to be handling everything with ease and confidence.

He wouldn't reveal his Primordial Elemental Technique unless the opponent was strong enough. As for Xiao Yao, she needed to gain combat experience by showing up.

By June 9th, the Xuanhuang team had officially advanced to the knockout stage with a perfect record.

A very interesting statistic shows that the battle at the foot of the mountain in their group was fought for a full 30 minutes by feeding each other, and it also garnered the most viewers who watched the live replay.

"The weak teams are all gone," Qi Hanhai sighed.

Group B consisted of them and the Sky Dome Alliance, who made it into the knockout stage.

Since then.

Apart from the Divine Eagle Kingdom, no other country participated in the Saint-Syria continent of Blue Star, and apart from the Divine Capital team, all the other small countries on the Gondwana continent were also eliminated.

"Do you even understand the value of this monster room called the Pangu Supercontinent?"

Cao Zheng looked up with his head held high, appearing quite proud.

Sixteen teams broke through the encirclement in the entire Tianyu Main Plane, and they were basically all taken over by the Pangu Continent and the extraterrestrial star system.

"I acknowledge the value of Captain Su's positive milk." Pei Xingwei was also very happy. After learning that Su Chen had two big gifts in one sip of milk, he was slightly stunned.

but.

Perhaps because they had stirred up a lot of hatred from outsiders, the Xuanhuang team was labeled as incredibly lucky after personally unpacking the two big gift packages.

Their performance in the second and third rounds of the qualifiers significantly reduced the team's visibility.

In particular, the Xuanhuang team's overall lineup is biased towards a single type of melee team, and there are no players who play a support role.

The team's lineup is inherently flawed and has weaknesses. However, due to the slightly outstanding Su Chen, the team tends to rely on a single core player, making everything extremely dependent on that elemental master.

In a horizontal comparison, at least in the team competition, this Xuanhuang team is somewhat lacking in the qualities of a champion.

I've fallen behind.

"Florence was also eliminated in the first round, which lowered our reputation even further," Qi Hanhai said.

Having left the water conservancy environment and fallen into the "group of death," after suffering crushing defeats to the Indian team and the Martian national team, they have essentially bid farewell to the World Championship.

"Alright."

"Let's bide our time and then crush them."
