Elemental Card King.

Chapter 98 Contract Five Cards! Ten Elemental Field Effect Cards!

The reason Su Chen didn't immediately contract five cards after advancing to intermediate card master was because his mental strength wasn't quite up to the contracting standard for the new cards.

now.

After repeatedly unlocking the spiritual gifts granted by the enhancement, Su Chen could try to contract the new card he desired.

When he arrived at a VIP lounge in the hotel, researcher Li Xiu, teacher He Yun, and teacher Wu Zhongming were all waiting inside.

"We haven't had to wait long, so let's get started."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Mr. Wu Zhongming seemed rather impatient.

At this moment, Li Xiu also opened the card box in an orderly manner.

"As per your needs, this is a brand new card that just arrived."

He took out a single card that was completely sealed in plastic.

Su Chen glanced at it; the back and outline of the card were both bathed in a purple glow.

Samsung Purple Card.

Venue effect card.

One of the ten elemental scene card series, 【Sanctuary of Light】!
Effect cards, one of the four major card types, can be further subdivided into field cards, domain cards, status cards, and special effect cards.

These types of cards are usually associated with special functions or auxiliary benefits.

Effect cards encompass various effects, including granting a buff to the entire party, inflicting negative effects on opponents, and even altering the environment, distorting or transforming the rules of reality.

"We only managed to get this one rare three-star purple card; it will be difficult to coordinate other series of cards in a short period of time."

"but."

"Anyway, one card is enough for you."

Li Xiu smiled.

That is indeed true.

For Su Chen, there was no need to choose; he could switch attributes on his own.

"Now we can try the contract."

Su Chen didn't linger and immediately removed the plastic wrapping after receiving the new card.

This was his fifth contract, so he was quite familiar with the process and didn't feel too nervous. After getting started, he directly used the contract method of the Unity Meditation Technique.

The surroundings immediately fell silent; even the sound of breathing was barely audible. It seemed as if the people around him were afraid of disturbing his contract process.

Just a moment.

A smile had already appeared on the faces of the supervising teachers.

They have already detected a soul imprint placed within the new card.

The contract went smoothly.

next second.

The field effect card that Su Chen was holding tightly disappeared into thin air and reappeared in his mental sea.

Under internal vision, the new card information is perfectly displayed.

[Name]: Sanctuary of Light
[Quality]: Purple

[Level]: ★★★

[Attribute]: light

[Category]: Effect Cards - Elemental Field Series

【Effect】:
Field (Passive): When the field is deployed, all friendly units gain a 30% damage increase and a 25% reduction in damage from all external sources.

Holy Light (Passive): Wherever Holy Light shines, all allied units will receive a continuous healing and purification buff, and will severely suppress all creatures with dark attributes and negative magic.

[Description]: The Holy Light will protect his warriors, but it will not forgive your sins.

"Not bad," Su Chen sighed inwardly.

This is a decent support/buff card.

Once the field is deployed, it benefits both the user and their summoned beasts, while also posing a strong environmental threat to target units that are elementally weak.

Not to mention, a huge, hidden benefit is that the Demon Slayer can harness external elements for their own use.

Even if it has already cracked and strengthened the ability to convert any form of external energy into the elements it needs, being in a matching elemental environment is still enough to greatly increase the strength of the demon spirit.

At least in terms of combat endurance, it is undoubtedly maxed out.

soon.

Su Chen started switching attributes to check the approximate card effects.

【Thunder Domain】: Lightning will continuously strike within the scene, dealing damage to the selected target while also causing paralysis and stun effects.

【Green Forest】: Provides a healing effect to friendly units. The forest trees generated in the scene can be transformed into small tree-man units that can be driven. The small tree-men have a certain entanglement skill.

【Wind Field】: The attack speed and movement speed of our units are greatly increased, and the invisible wind walls generated in the scene can effectively hinder enemy attacks.

【Infernal Purgatory】: The scene will be constantly bombarded with falling fire, which will cause large-scale splash and explosion effects when it hits.

【Netherworld】: Enemy targets within it will be continuously affected by the fear effect, while friendly units will gain the abilities of stealth and Dark Shuttle.

[Rock Boundary]: Can exert a certain gravitational influence on any unit within it.

【Tidal Water Boundary】: Water bubble cages will be generated within the scene, which can be used to imprison and control the selected target.

[Golden Realm]: The attack and defense of our units will be greatly enhanced, and sharp golden light will be continuously generated in the scene.

【Ice and Snow Land】: Inflicts a slowing and freezing effect on enemy targets on the field.

The above are just general results.

It's worth mentioning that all ten elemental scene cards share a common passive effect: 'Field'.

This means that Su Chen will save a lot of effort when he strengthens himself in the future.

By simply enhancing one common effect, an entire series of cards can be boosted.

"No problem, the effect is excellent."

After finishing his mental introspection, Su Chen gave an answer to those around him who had been waiting for his reply.

"That's good."

Only then did Mr. Wu Zhongming, who had been looking very nervous, feel relieved.

If he could detect even the slightest hint of dissatisfaction in Su Chen's expression, he would probably be furious.

Everyone was already used to his doting attitude towards Su Chen, treating him like his own parents.

Researcher Li Xiu said, "What about the six cards for the contract later? We should consider spell attack cards."

He seemed to hold a grudge about it.

After all, in the plan provided by Li Xiu, the Elemental Bombardment series cards were supposed to be Su Chen's three contract cards.

It's almost time for the sixth contract card, and it still hasn't been finalized.

What a mess! Is he really that unprofessional?
"The mental control of an intermediate card master is much stronger than that of a beginner, especially when it comes to spell cards, which require personal mental control and micro-management. It's really much stronger there," Li Xiu said earnestly.

His tone and demeanor were exactly like those of a frantic Amway salesman.

In response, Su Chen said, "The choice of the six cards for the contract has not yet been determined, but it should indeed be spell cards, since it will take some time before they meet the contract standards."

This wasn't him trying to comfort the other person.

A dignified elemental master is supposed to play elemental summoning and elemental magic builds. Even if he adds an elemental warrior elemental build to become a well-rounded card player, it's still unacceptable that he doesn't have a spell attack build in the early game.

Even if there were a better option, it would be a contract of six cards, or at least seven cards.

at this time.

Teacher He Yun had already pressed her right hand on Li Xiu's forehead. She said, "What do you care what kind of card Su Chen contracts with in the future? You won't see him again anyway."

Tomorrow is the last day of the provincial competition. After the awards ceremony, the city training team, which will return to Donghua City, will also be disbanded.

In other words, Li Xiu's publicly funded trip has come to an end.

"Indeed."

This was just a reminder, and researcher Li Xiu could only smile wryly. He didn't know when he would see Su Chen again.

"Let Su Chen go back and rest first. He needs to prepare well for tomorrow's match," said Teacher He Yun.

After she said that, the others felt it was inappropriate to continue the discussion.

"By the way, if you want to test the new card, don't go to the training area attached to the hotel. It's crowded and noisy. You can use a headset to train in the virtual space after you get back to your room," Teacher He Yun added at the end.

Not long after saying goodbye, Su Chen went straight back to his hotel room.

This luxurious single room is equipped with a card-operated head-up display that provides a fully immersive mode and multiple training cards for different scenarios.

Once plugged in, users can immerse themselves in a virtual reality environment and complete various training operations.

hum!
'Load successful: Elemental Lands.'

After inserting the card, Su Chen, who was sitting upright on the sofa, found a comfortable reclining angle and then put on the head-mounted display device to enter the Elemental Land scene.

Inside, he can freely adjust to various elemental scene modes, and can also select the specific threat level of the scene.

beep!

'You have chosen the Verdant Forest.'

'Your scene threat level has been determined to be level 5.'

'Your pain perception is 100% (cannot be changed at this difficulty level).'

'Note: This difficulty mode features massively spreading roots and vines. In addition to being entangled in thorns, you will also face a terrible life curse and a fog-shrouded predicament. Trainees, please be extra careful.'

'When your vital signs and various health indicators are detected to be below 20%, you will be forcibly exited from training mode.'

After the prompt message.

next moment.

Su Chen's figure had already stepped into a lush primeval forest.

As training began, with a bang, a host of rapidly growing roots and vines suddenly burst forth from the thick grass.

They resembled countless terrifying tentacles intertwined in one place, carrying billowing mud and dust, sweeping in like one earth dragon after another.

"bring it on."

A brand new card appeared out of thin air in Su Chen's hand.

When he switched to the fire attribute, the fire scene card [Inferno of Flames] was flung out, transforming into a blazing red light, and the enormous energy it unleashed instantly merged into the surrounding world.

boom!
Suddenly, the ground cracked open, and raging flames erupted from the depths of the earth like a volcanic eruption.

The scorching lava surged and flowed, forming a sea of ​​fire that ignited the wildly growing roots and vines around it, turning it into a fiery inferno.

Accompanying it.

One after another, streaks of fire from the sky plummeted down, like meteors and fireballs streaking across the heavens, crashing to the earth with terrifying explosive destructive power.

This environment, defined as the Verdant Forest, is no joke; the life curse effect within it causes the surrounding scorched and distorted forest landscape to continue to recover and grow rapidly.

Ancient trees rose from the ground, transforming into tree warriors who continuously swirled up rolling soil to extinguish the flames.

At that moment, a golden radiance and a red flame flashed in Su Chen's eyes, their interplay silently revealing the effect of elemental harmony.

The elements of metal and fire have joined forces for a grand chorus.

Swish!
next second.

The entire venue underwent another dramatic change.

The surrounding area was inexplicably bathed in a golden light, a vast radiance of dawn that even the surrounding black ash and smoke could not conceal.

The group of tree warriors felt that the air around them was filled with a sharp edge, and that countless cuts and cracks had appeared on every leaf and branch of their bodies.

Some monsters hidden in the forest landscape felt inexplicable pain in their trachea and lungs when they breathed.

soon.

As the golden light spilled out, the indestructible, sharp golden rays began to relentlessly blast through the forest landscape.

Both metal and fire restrain the wood element.

Also.

When gold and fire fused together, an extremely hot and terrifying dissolving liquid was generated.

The molten metal began to gradually engulf the verdant forest scene.

"In theory, with each stage advancement of a card master, the unlocking of new talent traits will also enhance and transform the existing talent traits," Su Chen sighed inwardly.

At least after being promoted to Senior Card Master, the Elemental Synergy feature will see the interweaving and convergence of three elements.

After all, when you are promoted to an elite card master, you might even be able to achieve a true and perfect fusion between the two elements, creating a brand new special elemental attribute.

As for Su Chen's most basic element switching ability, it will naturally be improved as well.

It's not obvious now.

However, it turned out to be quite strange, gorgeous, and flashy later on.

Legendary card master Dr. Yan can accumulate a buff layer for every additional card he cuts within a second.

In this way, one can imagine how colorful and dazzling the special effects of the card would be, like a rainbow, to maximize its power.

Congratulations on successfully completing the Green Forest level.

Three minutes later, the training test was completed perfectly.

To avoid being accidentally injured by the splash effect of the scene card he activated, Su Chen's figure had already moved far away and was suspended in the air.

This was not a flight effect granted by the Wind Eagle Spirit, but rather he achieved the levitation effect by enveloping his entire body with telekinesis.

"Accelerating flight is very mentally taxing, but hovering like this is quite easy."

Of course, just like spell cards, field effect cards can be manipulated and changed by the user.

At least Su Chen could control the falling meteors and the sharp golden rays that swept across the heavens and earth with his mind, though it was a bit more complicated than using spell cards.

It can be said.

In the early days, card players who created field effect cards were either top geniuses or reckless fools.

The former has honed their spiritual power to a high level, enabling them to perfectly control their mental state.

The latter is generally irrelevant to automatic hosting.

After finishing the first training session, Su Chen continued to train and test, and the training card for the Elemental Land was quickly adjusted to 'Blazing Volcano', 'Azure Sea', 'Dark Land', etc.

In each test, he did not simply activate the field card, but instead constantly utilized the element synergy feature to carefully experience the scene changes caused by the interweaving of two elements.

Xiao Ling also participated in this.

It wasn't until 10 p.m. that Su Chen finished the series of varied training tests.
