Elemental Card King.

Chapter 89 The Night Spirit Envoy, A Person's Name, A Tree's Shadow
Everything happened too fast.

The bone-winged bats never expected to be instantly killed after entering this airspace.

The quiet of the night was like a terrifying, invisible trap, waiting for the bewildered and ignorant outsiders to stumble in and perish.

at this time.

A graceful and slender figure emerged from the darkness, her deep, purplish-black eyes exuding an inexplicable sense of mystery.

She wore a well-tailored dark night dress, with long, jet-black hair cascading down to her waist, and was surrounded by a faint, shimmering shadow.

As she moved, the shadowy ribbons trailing behind her robes seemed to drag the night sky.

This is Xiaoling.

[Bond]: Not yet activated.

[Introduction]: The Spirit Envoy, formed by the intertwining of countless dark energies and spiritual light, is a unique life form that is absolutely a miracle in the elemental world.

The Dark-attribute Spirit has a wide variety of skills, making it one of the best among all attribute forms, directly on par with the Light-attribute Holy Radiance Spirit.

Clearly, Su Chen has mastered the ability to switch between light and dark attribute forms.

Light and darkness are one, coexisting and interdependent, and both will inevitably awaken simultaneously.

After successfully breaking through to the proficient stage of the Sun Refinement Technique, Su Chen successfully awakened the Light Attribute Switching ability, and also awakened the dual Dark Attribute of the same body.

At that time, the homeroom teacher, Yu Dong, was somewhat aware of this.

All his efforts were not in vain; the Sun Viewing Diagram did indeed help Su Chen induce the awakening of his light and dark attributes ahead of schedule.

Also.

Importantly, this means that Su Chen will definitely unlock other elemental ability effects when he advances to the intermediate card master level.

"There really are four-star monsters."

Just then, Su Chen, who was inside the tree hollow, took out his sleeping bag from his travel bag. His hand paused slightly, clearly sensing a dangerous, threatening killing intent approaching.

His undisguised killing intent was even directed at the card player himself.

hum!
Just then, it seemed as if one after another mysterious and beautiful black datura flower suddenly bloomed in the night.

'Death and Decay'!
Xiao Ling made her move.

【Death's Decay: Unleashes a dark-attribute withering flower that deals extremely high damage to an area. Upon successfully dealing damage, it inflicts the Chaos Curse effect and automatically drains a certain percentage of elemental energy and life force.】

"Uh!"

A painful cry followed, and a bloodthirsty leopard instantly went berserk, immediately charging straight at the card master without hesitation.

As it sped along, a blood-red shadow emerged from the jungle, like a crimson cannonball piercing the air. Its immense momentum even startled the owls roosting in the distance, who felt uneasy and took flight.

But the Night Spirit Envoy's efficiency was even more unbelievable.

Without a sound or even a hint.

After a 'dark flash', its mysterious figure, now freed from its true spirit, appeared in mid-air, blocking the path of the Bloodthirsty Leopard.

The dark blade in his hand pierced through the waist of the bloodthirsty demon leopard.

"Ow"

Another bloodthirsty scream rang out as the intercepted bloodthirsty leopard stared with its bloodshot vertical pupils.

Its forepaws unleashed the Blood Claw skill with frenzied force, the sharp and terrifying slashing waves leaving deep bloodstains directly in the real world.

However, the relentless and ruthless continuous slashes all landed on the afterimages.

The elusive and ghostly Night Spirit had already appeared behind the Bloodthirsty Leopard in an instant.

Pfft!

Another spray of blood erupted as a dark blade, highly concentrated with dark attributes, pierced through the opponent's spine.

The intense pain spurred the bloodthirsty leopard to keep attacking, but its agile and powerful body was mercilessly toyed with.

The teleportation of 'Dark Blink', the disappearance of 'Hidden', and the elusiveness of 'Dark Absorption' plunged the Demon Leopard into unprecedented chaos and fear.

Once the berserk effect wore off, the Bloodthirsty Panther, regaining a sliver of its senses, instinctively panicked and charged outwards, attempting to escape the Night Hunter it could not contend with.

But it's all over.

'Dark Binding'!
[Dark Binding: Imprisons targets in an area with dark attributes. While restricted, continuously reduces their attack and defense, inflicts a confusion curse effect, and drains their elemental energy and life force.]

Wow!
Dozens of intertwined, twisted dark tentacles suddenly sprouted from the shadow of the Bloodthirsty Leopard, forcibly pulling it to its spot.

The surrounding darkness was suddenly awakened, the air became thick and solidified, and no matter how the bloodthirsty leopard struggled, it was firmly locked in the cage woven from the darkness.

next moment.

'Death and Decay' was activated again, and black mandrake flowers, symbolizing night and death, bloomed continuously, finally stopping the bloodthirsty leopard's frantic, dying struggle.

In order to save his opponent's life, the Night Spirit Envoy held back and did not unleash his full killing move.

"Well done, Xiaoling."

Su Chen walked over from a short distance away and praised Xiao Ling's perfect performance.

It should be noted that this was only a battle fought entirely by dark-attribute demon spirits. During this time, Su Chen did not use weapon cards, beast spirit cards, or drive weapons.

The three-star purple card Night Spirit Master single-handedly defeated the four-star Bloodthirsty Leopard, and the opponent was completely powerless to fight back.

It has to be said, the Dark-attribute Little Spirit is too powerful.

Like a phantom, the Night Spirit has an endless array of movement, evasion, and dash abilities. Not to mention, it also has highly efficient crowd control abilities and extremely high burst damage from dark-attribute decay.

That's not all. Dark attribute damage comes with a confusion curse effect, which means confusing the enemy's consciousness, blurring their vision, and causing them to lose precise control of their actions.

Finally, many skills also come with the effect of absorbing elemental energy and blood energy.

This is incredibly comprehensive.

Swish!
With a flick of Su Chen's wrist, a blank sealing card successfully sealed the completely unconscious Bloodthirsty Leopard inside.

"The 13th one."

This is already his 13th four-star card.

Earlier, Su Chen had released all the three-star monsters he had initially sealed, leaving them directly to those destined to be with him.

"No matter how you look at it, all 30 packaged cards should meet the four-star standard."

After all, there are more large resource points in the core inner circle.

"Let's get up at 5:30 and head out immediately."

Su Chen wouldn't let his guard down for even a moment in order to maintain his first-mover advantage. To be honest, his current findings were enough to secure him a place in the top 32.

The reason he works so hard is to gain even greater profits for himself.

Aunt Jing has already taken great care of him, and Su Chen cannot rely on her for everything. He needs to do his best to obtain some cultivation resources himself.

"The outer perimeter should be sufficient."

Su Chen made some simple arrangements.

No need for the excrement of four-star monsters.

The aura of the Bloodthirsty Leopard alone, along with the blood splattered on the ground, possessed the ability to drive away the weak.

"If a three-star monster doesn't dare to come, then we can just wait for a four-star monster to come."

Su Chen took out some mosquito repellent powder from his travel bag and sprinkled it evenly around the tree hole to ensure that there would be no small mosquitoes to bother him.

To be absolutely certain, he also activated the small floating unit and switched it to energy-saving standby mode, which would allow him to continue monitoring operations late at night without consuming too much energy reserves.

One two-star energy card is more than enough for two nights.

Once everything was arranged, Su Chen finally felt at ease and snuggled into his warm sleeping bag.

One night later.

Sixty-seven contestants were eliminated on the spot during the late-night attack.

The organizers are closely monitoring the entire Emerald Realm; the land, forests, and starry sky seem to have become their eyes and ears.

If any person suffers a fatal injury, they will be forcibly teleported away and considered eliminated on the spot.

The methods used are unknown and change every year.

A few years ago, the eight-star effect card [Eye of Truth], which provided 24/7 monitoring, made it incredibly easy to see inside and out of an emerald realm.

In recent years, it seems that the method has changed, with the seven-star summon card [Spirit of Mountains and Seas] being directly attached to the entire Emerald Realm.

All things possess a spirit; a wisp of elemental fluctuation can create a miracle of life, and a tree, a flower, or even a mountain and a sea can give birth to a spirit.

This magnificent spirit of mountains and seas thus attached itself to and parasitized the environment of the Emerald Secret Realm. Every tentacle of its consciousness seemed to merge into the flowers, trees, mountains, rivers, and lakes within.

This is why no one dares to harm their fellow countrymen in the secret realm.

Murder for treasure is not a real concept.

A student who dares to display such extreme and deplorable character is no longer a matter of private conversations and education; he is very likely to be expelled from school and sent to a juvenile detention center.

of course
If you agree to a challenge beforehand, then that's a different set of rules.

There was no gentleman's agreement between the two sides, and everyone will strictly abide by the rules of the ring.

The loser may not only risk losing their card, but may also be ruthlessly eliminated due to severe injuries.

"Perhaps we can directly ask Su Chen for help, which would save us a lot of time and effort in gathering information."

After getting up, Feng Xingqin, who had started his journey early in the morning, suddenly had a whimsical idea.

At the current pace, he might not even catch a glimpse of the other party.

"Hurry up and fly ahead of him."

Having only slept for three hours, Feng Xingqin planned a straight route. He decided not to waste time searching for resources at the many large resource points along the way. Yesterday's experience had taught him that the four-star resources there would be looted in advance.

Since that's the case, he simply gave up the corresponding search time and focused all his efforts on getting there.

In the central area of ​​the core inner circle, there are even more concentrated four-star resources.

Interestingly, many others share this view, and Luan Dehai himself has chosen to accelerate his pace, directly intersecting with the process.

Before nightfall on the second day.

Almost all members of the first tier have entered the core inner circle.

of course.

During the day, someone inexplicably made a fortune.

Inside a cave, a group of three-star monsters lay dying, all incapacitated.

Looking at the green snake, vine monster, tree spirit, and thorn flower fairy inside, Fan Xin was a little confused. After looking around to make sure it wasn't a trap, she could only seal them all away with a faint smile.

"Luck is still on my side."

With so many people moving from the outer circle to the inner circle, the chances of them bumping into each other naturally increase.

As night fell, Fan Xin unexpectedly bumped into three people having dinner together by a lake. There were two men and one woman, one of whom was even her team member from Donghua City—Pang Haoqian.

From them, Fan Xin also learned an astonishing piece of news: Su Chen had a phenomenal start and was guaranteed first place.

Who spread the word?

She was somewhat puzzled; without any evidence, could this be seen as a form of flattery intended to harm someone?

After all, Su Chen, who ranked first in the preliminaries, has generated a lot of buzz, and his performance in the semi-finals of Emerald Secret Realm has become a point of interest for many.

“Duan Yingxue said it,” Pang Haoqian said.

This name is not unfamiliar to most players, as this woman is also one of the candidates for the championship, and many training teams have taken note of this "Raging Torrent King" in their intelligence work.

Fan Xin learned that Su Chen had searched most of the major resource points in the Southern Region by himself. Duan Yingxue herself, after securing a place in the top 32, was too lazy to go any further. She found a safe spot to catch up on her beauty sleep and planned to start her business the next day.

"Many of her team members and admirers are stationed on the mountainside ahead," Pang Haoqian said with a laugh.

Hear the words.

A strange feeling welled up in Fan Xin's heart. Could it be that the bunch of three-star monsters she picked up halfway were thrown out by Su Chen?

Also good
Fertilizer does not flow into outsiders' fields.

I still managed to snag this bargain.

"So so many people have given up?" Fan Xin noticed that there were several wisps of smoke rising from the opposite lakeside riverbank, and the crowds gathered there seemed to be even larger than those on this side.

"Yes, besides Brother Chen, we were also unexpectedly assigned Feng Xingqin and Luan Dehai to the southern region. Both of them initially took the A1 route in the strategy guide, but they were not very lucky."

After Pang Haoqian explained it this way, Fan Xin finally understood why so many people in the top tier had also started doing it.

It turns out everyone was assigned to the 'death route'.

"Fine, I'll set it up anyway."

Fan Xin completely lost her motivation, since being in the top 250 was a sure thing.

Venturing into the central area of ​​the inner circle is also risky, with the danger level increasing dramatically and the chances of a rollover being quite high.

Especially once you realize that all the rare and precious materials inside could be looted, it really makes you lose all motivation to take the risk.

“That’s right. Let’s not waste our energy tomorrow. Let’s conserve our strength and prepare for the second stage of the semi-finals, competing with others for the other 32 tickets,” Pang Haoqian agreed.

Currently, Su Chen has secured first place in the semi-finals.

With his phenomenal and unstoppable performance, is the championship already his for the taking?

"I feel like I can open the champagne for Brother Chen now." The two crushing defeats on the stage had already made Pang Haoqian completely convinced of Su Chen's superiority.

I'm asking for monthly votes at the end of the month! I'm asking for daily recommendation votes.
