Elemental Card King.

Chapter 94 Unstable Fission, Shared Damage
Congratulations, Brother Chen!

"Well done."

"Brother Chen's performance just now was absolutely perfect."

"."

When Su Chen returned to his seat in the spectator stands, the members of the Donghua City training team frequently came forward to personally congratulate him.

"The championship is definitely yours, so you'd better treat us to a good meal then," Xu Zigui suggested directly.

"I wouldn't dare to pre-select the champion, but even if I just win first prize, I'll treat everyone to dinner," Su Chen said.

The provincial competition's grand prize can be worth 2000 million RMB in cash, while the first prize is worth 500 million RMB.

Even if he treated the entire training team to a lavish meal costing 2 yuan per person, it wouldn't cost more than a million yuan, not to mention that he had already received a sum of tens of millions of yuan in cash.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Coach Wu Zhongming was the first to shout that the championship was in hand, but he couldn't help feeling guilty when he saw outsiders celebrating with champagne in advance.

"Congratulations," Xia He said.

After Su Chen took his seat, the elegant and beautiful woman sitting next to him spoke.

A faint smile appeared on the other person's pure and aloof face, as clear as the first snow of winter, and the curve of their lips softened the coldness considerably.

"Thanks."

Su Chen accepted the mental supplement liquid offered by the other party.

"You should also do your best, and hopefully we can meet in the finals together," Su Chen said. Come to think of it, he had never had a match with Xia He before.

In fact, very few people in the entire training team had ever fought against her.

This is because the opponent's Judgment talent adds terrifying tearing and shattering effects to card damage.

The Taiyin Refining Form Method further endowed Xia He with unparalleled and exquisite body techniques.

This elegant young woman, as pure and radiant as the moon, is definitely not as easy to deal with as one might imagine.

“Okay, no problem, then see you in the final.” Xia He agreed.

The two players are in Group A and Group G, respectively, and belong to two different halves of the bracket.

The last two players to emerge from the upper and lower brackets will face off in the final showdown.

Su Chen's overwhelming advantage also brought invisible pressure to the contestants in the four groups in the upper half of the bracket. At least some of the favorites who were determined to win the championship were disheartened.

Perhaps because they were still savoring the so-called peak showdown, the third match was met with a very lukewarm response. The applause was mostly sparse, and the audience's attention was not on the field, but rather occasionally turned to Su Chen in the spectator seats.

It wasn't until the fourth game, when number 7 Feng Xingqin took to the court, that things really started to get interesting.

The fighting was just too boring.

The game was a complete stomp, with absolutely nothing to watch.

"This councilor's son still possesses Contract Cards 4 and 5, and his talent effects haven't been activated yet. The meditation diagram he's studying is said to be the Azure Lotus Diagram. Everything about him exudes mystery." As Su Chen's mortal enemy, the members of the Donghua City training team are all keeping a close eye on him.

However, without any attempt to conceal his true intentions, Feng Xingqin simply used the Dark Magic Cannon formed by the Dark Beast to recklessly bombard his opponent from an extremely long range and take him down.

In less than a minute, the boring game of easily defeating newbies came to an end.

"Damn, this martial arts style is losing so frustratingly. They can't even get close before they fall on their way to the front."

What's frightening is that, according to reliable intelligence, the six weapon forms that this dark beast switches between include many melee combat styles, and Feng Xingqin is also a melee combat genius, proficient in all eighteen martial arts.

As the owner of the top-tier talent sequence 'Weapon King', he is proficient in all kinds of weapons and can be described as a born weapon master.

And such dominant matches are not uncommon.

All four matches in Group B and all four matches in Group C were resounding victories by teams from the top tier.

Xiao Tingting and Pang Haoqian were both eliminated in the first round.

The situation only changed in the first match of Group D.

Zhu Wan'er, who plays the Ice Mage deck, has made her appearance. Interestingly, her opponent is a top-tier player who plays the Slime deck.

"Take a look and learn from him," Xu Zigui teased Xiang Xing, who was standing to the side.

After all, compared to Xiang Xing, who failed to reach the finals, the player who also plays the slime deck has made it into the top tier.

"What's the big deal? Lots of people play this deck, and everyone has a different understanding of it," Xiang Xing said, his face flushed and somewhat sullen.

As he said, the player on the field really played differently, and didn't follow the integration approach at all.

In an instant
The three effect cards, [Slime Split], [Asexual Reproduction], and [Unstable Fission], are activated one after the other.

The slimes on the field rapidly and frantically split and reproduced. They split into two, then into four, just like cells dividing, and in an instant, their numbers increased exponentially.

In less than ten seconds, slimes sprang up like mushrooms after rain, densely filling the left half of the area.

"The speed at which they've expanded is incredible," Xiang Xing exclaimed, dumbfounded and feeling inferior.

Rumor has it that the Torrent Dharma King Duan Yingxue also possesses a terrifyingly powerful spell machine gun effect, capable of multiple castings and casting without cooldown, which is truly astonishing.

But the player in front of me is also incredibly fast at setting up the board, giving the impression that he is just as good.

Thanks to the effect of the Unstable Fission Card, these little slimes exhibited different elemental appearances upon splitting and being born.

In addition to the usual elemental slimes such as fire slime, water slime, and lightning slime, there are even some dark slimes and extremely rare heterochromatic slimes.

It's like opening a blind box – colorful, varied, and full of strange and wonderful things.

Meanwhile, Zhu Wan'er on the opposite side had already played an ice and snow-related field effect card. When hordes of slimes of various colors rushed into the icy and snowy land, some of them were inexplicably frozen in place.

However, some individuals inexplicably underwent elemental changes, transforming into ice slimes after being exposed to the icy and snowy environment.

"pretty."

"This card is pretty well enhanced."

"The speed at which this split-push strategy can flood the board is truly astonishing. It feels like Zhu Wan'er's dark horse journey should come to an end."

Many students believed that the victory was already secured. Once the tidal wave of slimes successfully got close, the self-destruction effect of the sticky bombs alone would be enough to give the opponent a hard time.

However, Zhu Wan'er made her move.

A [Frost and Snow Resonance] spell was activated, completely awakening a terrifying chill. The icy and snowy scene was cooled even further, and the environment became even more frigid and biting.

At this moment, all slimes of various colors that were not of the ice attribute were instantly frozen into ice sculptures without any resistance in this sudden extreme cold field.

"burst!"

Under Zhu Wan'er's icy command, the continuous freezing damage caused several frozen slimes to explode completely.

Due to the properties of the Resonance Card, the frozen slimes in this area have formed an invisible link with each other, sharing every painful impact.

For an instant.

Like a string of firecrackers being set off, accompanied by a dense barrage of explosions, the poor little slime attracted a series of ice explosions. This self-destructive wave even affected the ice slimes, with the corrosive slime and explosive shockwaves splashing everywhere, directly dragging the unfrozen ice slimes in the area into the water as well.

"It's over!"

The other side was so frightened that they panicked.

His elaborate, almost magical display of power came at a price; at the very least, his mental energy was now almost depleted.

"I lost"

Seconds later, seeing his carefully prepared strategy ruthlessly broken by his opponent, he completely lost his will to fight and immediately announced his defeat.

“Wonderful!”

After the referee announced the result of the match, the audience erupted in cheers and applause.

"The Frost Resonance card is an excellent choice. It can amplify the damage of ice and snow elements and also create an invisible link with frozen creatures, allowing them to continuously share the damage they suffer," one instructor cheered.

Generally speaking, the damage from freezing, which has elements of control and slowing, is far from enough to kill enemies. However, once a large number of frozen objects start sharing damage, it becomes truly terrifying.

The faster the opponent spreads their board, the faster they clear it.

"If there are cards that can share damage, then there are also cards that can share damage. Ah Xing, you'd better pay attention," Xu Zigui said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter, I'll continue down the path of fusion." Xiang Xing said with some disdain.

However, Zhu Wan'er had no chance of winning against this top-tier opponent. She also had an open secret: the Icebound Card, which was enough to efficiently freeze and control a single target.

Xu Zigui, who had suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the other party, had not moved an inch.

"This woman is just asking for trouble. Don't worry, she definitely won't get past Brother Chen."

After a morning had passed.

The first round of matches has come to an end.

The results achieved by Donghua City are passable.

Of the five players in the second tier, only Fan Xin managed a hard-fought victory; the other four were all eliminated.

The four members of the first tier, Su Chen, Xia He, and the other two finalists, all advanced to the next round.

However, the initial luck with the draw was not good.

Fan Xin and Xia He will both face off against two other players from Donghua City in an internal battle.

After lunch.

Half past one in the afternoon.

The first match of the round of 32 will soon take place, with Pei Jiaqing facing off against Su Chen.

Pei Jiaqing, who was already somewhat nervous and uneasy in the previous match, became even more anxious and fearful after stepping onto the ring.

"Are you kidding me? Fighting this monster?"

What's even more outrageous is that almost all the cheers from the audience were for his opponent. After Su Chen won the showdown in such a crushing manner, he undoubtedly gained a lot of prestige.

Pei Jiaqing gave a wry smile, feeling as if he were going to be at odds with the world.

Even those individual viewers who enjoy seeking amusement and stirring up trouble don't expect this socially awkward person to step in and punish him.

This was a match that no one, including their own teammates, had high hopes for.

"Come on, let's see the difference."

At the start of the match, Pei Jiaqing was not surprised to see the opposing team summon an earth-attribute spirit beast on the spot.

This Thunder Mage card master, having nothing to lose, immediately activated all four contract cards one by one without saying a word.

Spell Card [Lightning Storm], Spell Card [Thunder], Field Effect Card [Thunder Domain], Normal Effect Card [Thunder Amplification].

For a while.

Dark clouds filled the airspace ahead, lightning flashed and roared, and deafening thunder rumbled as dozens of thick, python-like bolts of lightning seemed poised to crash down from the sky.

not only that.

Beep!
'Read successful: Thunderous Power.'

After the card slot for the weapon was inserted, Pei Jiaqing's robes shone with a lightning-like luster, and he gained the ability to control lightning.

But after doing all that, he was completely discouraged.

The massive thunderous aura created by the previous setup was completely rendered useless. The original thunderous area was now filled with flying sand. The vast earth-attribute fluctuations instantly diverted countless charges, and the flickering and intertwined arcs of lightning gradually disappeared.

Even more outrageous is that those bolts of lightning that struck down couldn't tear through the 'Earth Dust Storm' earth-attribute defensive force field at all.

Even when the electric current that caused the jump landed on the brownish-yellow earth spirit, it was to no avail.

"It's too hard; there's no way to break through its defenses."

Pei Jiaqing was well aware that the Earth Bear Spirit was controlled by the Demon Spirit Envoy, and its 'Earth Guardian' skill, when activated, provided a significant reduction in damage.

Seeing the earth spirit envoy, shrouded in dust, leisurely pass through the minefield, Pei Jiaqing, his composure broken, announced his defeat without hesitation.

"This person has even less backbone than me."

When Fan Xin saw this scene off the field, it triggered some post-traumatic stress disorder, as her triple-amplified artillery attack was unable to break through the defense.

Seeing the dejected and listless card player on the sidelines, she couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic, despite her initial disapproval.

"That's right. Lightning-attribute characters are at a huge disadvantage. This earth-attribute demon is definitely Brother Chen's defensive trump card. He was just unlucky to run into a steel plate."

This scene also left the entire audience feeling somewhat suffocated.

"This thorough elemental control leaves no room for maneuver."

Su Chen's performance in the two matches has left many people feeling ashamed and speechless. No matter what cards they play, it seems they are destined to be restrained.

Normal summons with ordinary attributes seem to be no match for that Holy Radiance Spirit Envoy.

This elemental master who controls the ten elements is simply too powerful.

"There's nothing we can do. This is his peak period, and our current card deck is too weak, making us very vulnerable to being countered."

The person who said this can hardly be considered to be comforting themselves.

Based on the information currently available, the Elemental Domination talent sequence will exhibit a terrifying and overwhelming advantage in the early to mid-game.

"We'll see how far he can go."

"At the very least, Su Chen must get past Feng Xingqin. He desperately needs that custom card back and the resource rewards. Right now, one card requires ten times the resources, and the future costs will be astronomical."
