Elemental Card King.

Chapter 5 Evolutionary Path
'Card Time' is an official application jointly produced by Blue Star Alliance and the World Card Masters Association.

Committed to providing a fair, transparent, and convenient official platform for card players worldwide.

Su Chen glanced at the number of online users in the upper left corner.

More than 3500 million people were online at the same time.

"A lot of people."

When Su Chen first came into contact with the Card Master's intranet, he felt as if it were a completely new experience, opening up a whole new world for him.

The main body of the program is divided into six sections:
[Card Pool]

Existing deck

[List of Synthesis Formulas]

[Database]

[Simulator]

[Materials Store]

This includes 2180 million cards in the card library alone.

There are currently 96 mature card decks.

As for the list of synthesis formulas, there are more than 6 million entries.

This involves enhancement formulas for individual skills and talents, as well as overall evolution and synthesis formulas.

"These are all free public domain resources."

"Free inquiry".

"I heard that even the twelve-star God Cards have been made public."

This rumor has spread widely.

But it is indeed true.

According to statistics, the vast majority of novice card players, when logging into Card Time, immediately search for card information that leads to the final twelve-star colored super god card.

That is the pinnacle that every card player dreams of.

And this summit is indeed tangible and inspiring.

After Su Chen made his precise selection, two columns of search results appeared.

There are 7 in total.

They are all twelve-star colored super god cards.

Click on [Lord of Eternal Radiance].

A series of related material fusion formulas are continuously presented.

It details exactly what kind of material cards are needed and what kind of promotion ceremony is required later.

No wonder some people say that since humans began to fight with cards, no era has ever been as brilliant and prosperous as the present glorious era.

The Blue Star Alliance is united in spirit and humanity is already close to surpassing all other planes. Living in such a vibrant and prosperous era of card games, young people, what reason do you have not to be confident?

"I've got the material for my dream tonight."

Su Chen sighed inwardly.

After a quick glance.

He then closed the God Card page.

That's just too unrealistic.

"Let's take a look at Xiaoling's future training plan."

He then looked up detailed information about elemental spirits and learned that there are three main evolution paths: Soul Control, Weapon Mastery, and Multi-Elemental.

Firstly: the path of soul control.

This evolution path is to unleash one's own spirituality and, more importantly, to complement Beast Spirit Cards and Spirit Body Cards in deck building.

Taking fire-type monsters as an example:
The main evolution path is: [Blazing Demon Spirit] — [Blazing Spirit Envoy] — [Spirit Flame Child] — [Spirit Flame Prince] — [Nether Flame Emperor]

The specific evolutionary synthesis formula for the next stage of advancement is as follows.
[Blazing Demon Spirit] + [Lava Magic Core] + [Spiritual Medium] + [Spirit Butterfly Heart] = [Blazing Spirit Envoy]

Secondly: the means of commanding troops.

This evolution path is designed to be compatible with weapon cards.

Take lightning-type monsters as an example:
[Thunder Illusion] — [Lightning Spirit Master] — [Flash Blade Princess] — [Thunder Empress] — [Thunderous Lady]

The specific evolutionary synthesis formula for the next stage of advancement is as follows.
[Thunder Illusion] + [Thunderstone] + [Demon-Subduing Thunder Soul] = [Lightning Spirit Master]

Thirdly: multi-element approach.

As the name suggests, these are elemental spirits that awaken the ability to manipulate single, dual, or triple elements during their evolution, such as the 'Dancing Demoness' with interwoven wind and thunder, the 'Flame Ice Holy Spirit' with fused ice and fire, and the 'Exploding Witch' with entangled fire and thunder.

Because the malleability of multi-element evolutionary pathways is ever-changing, there is no single, clearly effective standard; even a single formula can have several branches and threads.

The perfect execution of a core summon card requires effective synergy with other cards.

The three evolutionary paths naturally imply different card decks.

If he had to choose, Su Chen's answer would naturally be to have them all!
After the general direction was given, Su Chen had a clear idea of ​​what was going on.

It can be said.

Each stage of advancement for an elemental spirit is a process of spiritual sublimation.

It begins with the unexpected awakening of self-awareness in a pure element, and continues with the pursuit of the meaning of one's own existence.

During this process, it will condense from the amorphous elemental chaos into a solid and unique physical form.

As for why there are such different gender appearances as 'Lingyanzi' and 'Shandaoji', it is because each elemental spirit has a different self-awareness and personalized expression when shaping its form.

The details also mention that this is closely related to the owner's aesthetic sense. After all, elemental spirits will likely evolve in accordance with their owner's preferences.

"To advance to the next stage of a Spirit Master, simply collecting all the material cards is not enough."

"At the very least, I can't hold the team back; my mental strength must be at least 200."

Also.

As long as Xiao Ling advances to the level of a Demon Spirit Master in any of her elemental forms, Su Chen, with his talent for transforming card attributes, can instantly possess many different elemental attribute-level Spirit Master forms.

If you continue in this manner, when you advance to the next stage, Apostle level, you can also focus on farming single-element forms.

This is undoubtedly a quick and easy way for the poor to succeed.

But this has a big problem.

First of all, the development process is inherently lengthy. If you only use material cards to develop a single element, the combat power of other elemental forms will inevitably be greatly reduced.

Moreover.

According to the research paper sent by Yu Dong, the head teacher, the core summoning card must be fully developed in all elements to ensure its combat power. Moreover, each enhancement will provide a boost to one's mental strength.

This is of great benefit to the card master's own training and advancement.

While comparing the content on the screen, Su Chen also flipped through the research report about his own talent.

The paper's first author, Dr. Yan Zhiluo, is also a recipient of this talent.

As a master-level card player, she had already unlocked the twelve elements at that time.

There are twelve elemental attributes: light, darkness, metal, wood, earth, water, fire, ice, thunder, wind, space, and time.

It also unlocks Elemental Synchronization, allowing up to three elements to work together in harmony and create extraordinary combo moves.

What Su Chen envied even more was that this Dr. Yan also possessed the power of elemental interference.

She can forcibly inject any elemental attribute into a summoned beast, turning it into a Fantasy Elemental Fusion Beast, or she can infuse it into a weapon card to form a brand new fusion attribute weapon.

"The power of a grandmaster is terrifying."

Su Chen's eyes were full of anticipation.

This paper also includes the ranking of this talent in the top 500 talent lists in the past dozens of issues.

The highest ranking reached was 7th.

The lowest number is 29.

Overall, they have never fallen out of the top 30.

The overall advantages are clearly summarized. In battle, the unpredictable switching of various elemental attributes provides a stable and effective elemental suppression effect.

Through personal cultivation, the rewards generated by simultaneously strengthening multiple attribute cards will cause the card master's mental power to increase rapidly.

As for the disadvantages, the paper also makes them quite clear.

As the opponent's deck develops, the elemental advantage will gradually disappear in the mid-to-late game.

In addition, it is difficult to gain an effective advantage in the early stages against some decks.

Finally, the training difficulty is extremely high, and the consumption of material cards required is beyond imagination, and it can show a certain exponential growth trend as you go further.

In the mid-to-late game, it is extremely difficult to raise the level of the entire deck to its maximum value, even with only half of the cards.

"What a money-devouring beast!"

Su Chen sighed inwardly.

"By the way, how is Dr. Yan doing these days?"

He was curious.

In some ways, Dr. Yan can be considered a beacon for his future life.

After all, the only known surviving and publicly disclosed card player with the same talent on the entire internet is this female doctor.

He searched for news about her in his browser.

Dr. Yan Zhiluo holds dual doctorates in dimensional ecology and archaeological mythology. There is a wealth of information about her course materials and news about her lectures at various universities online.

One of the most talked-about news stories was that the other party successfully became a legendary card master in 513 AD.

In the years that followed, there were many news reports about searching for ancient sites and exploring historical relics. Discussions on how to specifically date the primitive era were the main news during those years.

"Hmm, it just broke like that?"

After that, Su Chen suddenly discovered that the other party had no further activities after 515 years.

All that's left are outdated, old news stories.

This is very unusual.

He was unfortunately killed in action?
However, there was no related obituary.

The other person's life came to a standstill after the age of 36, and they completely disappeared from the internet.

This is quite unusual for academics who have always been giving speeches.

Has he disappeared from the public eye?

Driven by curiosity, Su Chen continued his in-depth search, but still found nothing.

After pondering for a while, he stopped thinking about it.

After being busy for so long, it was already past midnight.

"Get off the plane."

Su Chen also has his own daily routine of meditation before bed.
