As soon as the Human Emperor Banner came out, I became the Lord of the Old Ones

Chapter 58 Rakshasa Disciple
The audience pushed and shoved each other to make room.

The opponent, who had already lost consciousness, fell to the ground like a broken sack, with broken bones and tendons, blood splattered everywhere, and his life or death was unknown.

In a formal arena in the safe zone, this is absolutely a serious violation.

In the lawless planning area, it won rounds of applause.

Those winners who had just made the right bet in the gambling fight did not even bother to wipe the blood that splashed on their faces. They cheered and waved their arms towards the "Rakshasa Disciple".

The loser cursed and was indignant.

He was even eager to try it out and wanted to go on stage himself to experience the power of the ultimate martial artist.

The atmosphere of "Shadow of the Rose" instantly reached its peak.

"Master Yan?"

Xu Yan was suddenly grabbed from behind.

A guy with a dagger tattoo under his eye called out to him with a look of joy on his face, "You're finally here!"

Zhou Jianqing, a five-star bronze combat spirit master, is a frequent visitor to "Shadow of the Rose".

He claims to have had a period of glory in the professional arena.

Now that I’m old, I can’t play professional games.

But in the "Shadow of the Rose" bar, it is more than enough to make a little money by gambling.

"Master Yan, you are so amazing!"

Zhou Jianqing's disguise is obviously even more complicated than Xu Yan's.

The flattering smile made him look like Xu Yan's junior.

"Old Zhou, I've been at the Rolling Stone Club and the 'Shadow of the Rose' for seven or eight years now. I've met at least eighty card makers, if not a hundred. The ones who can modify a bronze battle card to your level can be counted on one hand!"

Zhou Jianqing enthusiastically grabbed Xu Yan's wrist and didn't allow him to refuse, and stuffed two heavy chips into his hand.

"After you left last night, I used the Shadow Wolf you modified to kill three brazen guys and made a killing. Haha, I should have treated you to a drink last night, but sadly, you were gone. It's all Old Zhou's fault. I apologize!"

"No, I don't drink."

Xu Yan weighed the two crystal clear chips, his Adam's apple rolling slightly, and he looked both vigilant and greedy.

Zhou Jianqing remained calm and took in all the emotions he deliberately revealed.

"Master Yan, you're probably also upset with this kid on the ring. Damn, this martial arts madman just popped up out of nowhere, relying on the power of his 'Rakshasa Disciple' to actually run wild in Rolling Stone Castle!"

Zhou Jianqing rolled his eyes and said with a grin, "This guy's odds are very high right now. How about it, Master Yan, are you interested in working together again to kill this guy and make a killing?"

Xu Yan turned his head and checked the odds above the ring.

After pondering for a long time, he shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Your 'Shadow Wolf' is no match for the 'Rakshasa Disciple'."

"That's why I have to ask Master Yan for help!"

Zhou Jianqing pulled Xu Yan aside and said eagerly, "I've watched this guy play three games and found that he's not without weaknesses. As long as Master Yan helps me strengthen the card and unleash 40% of the power of Shadow Wolf, and enter the fourth stage, there's a chance to kill him."

"Are you crazy?"

Xu Yan sneered, "Your life index is less than 16, at best it has reached the level of 'five-star bronze'. It is very dangerous to drive a six-star bronze war spirit.

"Yesterday, you begged me so much that I reluctantly helped you change your card.

"Today you're pushing your luck further. You can't even perfectly control the third stage of Shadow Wolf, and you're already thinking of launching the fourth stage?

"This is impossible!
"Even if it is technically possible, I can't do this. The risk is too great and it will backfire. At the very least, your spirit card will be scrapped, and at the worst, you will become mentally ill and even kill me!" Xu Yan flatly refused and pretended to walk out.

But the other party held his hand tightly.

He also stuffed a heavy package into his pocket.

It's a bargaining chip.

Chips worth at least tens of thousands of dollars.

Xu Yan stopped.

"It's not that serious, Master Yan. I, Old Zhou, also once contracted a seven-star bronze war spirit. I was injured in a professional match, and my health index has temporarily dropped. I know how to control the 'Shadow Wolf'."

Zhou Jianqing said indifferently, "As for implicating you, that's out of the question. I just changed the card style a little radically. Can the Spirit Card Association really come to the planning area and revoke your card maker license?
"Ha, I guess your license has been revoked a long time ago, right? Otherwise, with your skills, why would you hide in Rolling Stone Castle instead of showing off your skills in Dawn City?"

Xu Yan narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I have no ill intentions. On the contrary, I can bring you a lot of business and ensure that you have a comfortable and wonderful time during your stay at Rolling Stone Castle."

Zhou Jianqing raised his hands. "To be frank, if modifying and possessing banned cards are crimes, the Spirit Card Association should just arrest half of the Spirit Masters in Rolling Stone Castle. Do they have the ability to do that?"

"You can't defeat the 'Rakshasa Disciple'."

Xu Yan slowly shook his head. "Even if I activate 40% of Shadow Wolf's power, you're still no match for it."

"So, what should we do?"

Zhou Jianqing took out an anonymous large-denomination chip card.

In "Shadow of the Rose", the value of this chip card starts at 50,000 and there is no upper limit.

He held the chip card between his thumb and index finger and looked at Xu Yan sincerely.

Even though Xu Yan's face was covered with a rubber mask.

The twitching of the corner of his eye still leaked out just right.

“This is just the beginning of something truly wonderful.”

Zhou Jianqing struck while the iron was hot. "I promise, if you can help me defeat this lunatic, your name will spread throughout Rose Shadow. Tonight alone, I can help you attract at least three new clients, all of whom will be generous, reliable, and high-quality."

Xu Yan's eyes and mental defenses seemed to begin to waver.

Zhou Jianqing keenly sensed his greed and affectionately put his arm around his shoulders, smiling even brighter than before. "So, have you figured out a technical solution?"

"listen--"

Xu Yan took a deep breath, as if finally making up his mind after the other party's combined soft and hard tactics, "Even if I help you modify the seal card to 40% of its potential, it will still not be a match for 'Rakshasa Disciple'. Moreover, this modification is too difficult, I'm not completely confident."

"so what?"

Zhou Jianqing's eyes flickered. "Do you have any other plans?"

"speed."

Xu Yan pondered, "I don't know if you've noticed, just like you can't perfectly control 'Shadow Wolf', this evil spirit master obviously can't control 'Rakshasa Disciple' either. No, he's even worse than you. He's simply become a puppet of the guardian spirit, being completely dragged around by 'Rakshasa Disciple'.

"We all know that these evil spirits from the end of the Second Era are extremely emotional, have strong personalities, and are extremely unstable.

"And I highly suspect that the opponent's seal card has also undergone a very radical modification. God knows what kind of seal array he used to barely restrain the 'Rakshasa Disciple'.

"I think if someone could use their speed advantage in the ring to fight him to the end, there's a high chance he'd go crazy, his evil spirit would backfire, and he'd end up destroying himself!"
