Card Making: My Card Game Starts with the White Dragon

Principal Zhu has a card called "Longevity Tortoise," but this card isn't particularly powerful.

But it also gave Principal Zhu a passive skill that many people envied:

"【Turtle Breathing】: Significantly slows down your heart rate and allows you to hold your breath for an extended period of time."

This skill granted Principal Zhu a long life. Even at over a hundred years old, Principal Zhu remains remarkably energetic.

My ability to work as a teacher at the Shanhaishi Card Making High School is largely thanks to this skill.

In addition to his longevity, Principal Zhu's ability to hold his breath also made him a formidable force in underwater combat.

Despite the students' objections, Principal Zhu personally led the team to carry out Zhou Hao's underwater rescue mission.

After distributing three [Turtle Breath] skill cards and three [Mental Energy Replenishment Potions] to everyone, he said:

"Everyone here is a seasoned veteran, so I, a teacher, don't need to give them too much advice."

But one thing: no one can make a move until I say I'm starting a rescue operation.

As he spoke, Principal Zhu glared fiercely at Old Yu beside him: "Especially you."

Just as the group stepped out of the submarine, they suddenly saw a huge waterspout rising in front of them.

It stirred up the surrounding seabed, making it difficult for even the weaker Jinghai naval personnel to maintain their balance.

Principal Zhu and his group quickened their pace, and by the time they reached Zhou Hao's vicinity, the waterspout had completely dissipated.

The Jade Dragon of the Western Sea, which had never appeared in this world before, floated vividly above everyone.

They revel in the fear and dread of sea monsters, and in the admiration and awe of humankind.

Zhou Hao naturally noticed Principal Zhu and the others behind him, but Principal Zhu tacitly did not step forward, but instead acted as a backup and protector.

Old Yu scratched his bald head and looked at the giant object in the air in surprise, saying, "Teacher, wasn't Zhou Hao's first card a human?"

What is this sea monster? And this card even has two forms?

Principal Zhu looked at the giant beast in the sky, which was as long as a snake yet extremely majestic, and said, "After living for more than a hundred years, I have been fooled."

That day, I saw that his card was exactly the same as the sword cultivator cards in Tianjian City in appearance, temperament, and methods.

Unexpectedly, it possesses both the forms of a sea monster and a swordsman, and this sea monster's potential and story seem quite remarkable.

"To say that such talent is found only once in a century would be an understatement..."

As he spoke, he glared fiercely at Lao Yu, and the commander of the Jinghai Navy instantly snapped to attention:

"Teacher, I also have dual-form cards. I was the first one made by our Jinghai Navy..."

"He's over forty years old, already a Master, and only just created a dual-form card. How dare he bring that up here?"

When I was teaching you, I thought you were a bright kid, but now I see...

Only Guo Chen is somewhat decent; you've all become useless good-for-nothings.

The army commander surnamed Yu didn't argue back, but instead changed the subject: "Old Guo's statement that Zhou Hao was born with knowledge isn't without merit."

Even I would have a hard time creating something like this. Such a person is indeed favored by Master Ye. Teacher, Zhou Hao absolutely cannot be allowed to make a mistake.”

Principal Zhu did not answer, but only stared at the few faint red dots above the jade dragon.

……

Meanwhile, inside the monitoring room.

"President Guo, the surveillance eye in the Shrimp Monster Stone Forest is set up."

Upon hearing this, Guo Chen, with his copper pipe in his mouth, slowly walked to the screen displaying Zhou Hao's image.

When he saw the majestic, winding behemoth in the sea, he was instantly invigorated and quickly stepped forward to observe it.

"President Guo, what's wrong?"

The secretary behind him had been with Guo Chen for many years and had never seen him so out of control, so she couldn't help but ask him with concern.

"fine."

Chairman Guo quickly regained his calm and collected demeanor, but in his heart, a raging storm was brewing.

"That's right, just like my [River God], it belongs to that system of mythical cards."

Guo Chen is widely recognized as the strongest person in Shanhai City. He once fought three ancient demigods without being defeated.

They protected Shanhai City for ten days amidst towering waves, finally securing rescue efforts.

What enabled him to withstand three equally powerful old-world warriors at the level of "Card King" was the card called "River God".

It was a chance encounter that Guo Chen stumbled upon during an exploration of a secret realm; he found a broken ancient stele.

It was thanks to that broken ancient stele that he was able to create the [River God] card, which far surpassed other cards of the same quality.

It was precisely with this card that Guo Chen rose from a fringe kid to become the number one player in Shanhai City.

Furthermore, even now, he feels that he still hasn't fully unlocked the potential of this card.

Even so, Guo Chen is already one of the best among the presidents of the card dealer associations in various cities.

The stone tablet that changed their fate contained a few words describing the colossal object in the image:

"The Aquatic Tribe..."

Guo Chen recalled once again the abstract stone carving and the description of the three characters below it.

That ancient feeling welled up in his heart again, as if he were still that bald-headed boy who had just entered the secret realm.

When I came to my senses, I was already over fifty.

Guo Chen tapped the ash off his cigarette on the sole of his shoe, the deep wrinkles of his shoes unusually smoothing out:

"What a blessing for the mountains and seas!"

……

On the other hand, Zhou Hao watched as Ao Lie merely made his entrance.

He had already rendered most of the sea monsters below the "boss level" incapable of fighting, and he knew he had made the right bet.

However, we still cannot let our guard down. Although the Diamond [Boxing Shrimp Monster], the Super Crab, and these [Boss-level] sea monsters have been significantly affected, and Ao Lie deals double damage when attacking them.

However, they are quite strong and have a numerical advantage, so a prolonged battle would definitely be disadvantageous for Ao Lie.

Ao Lie seemed to understand this principle well, and before Zhou Hao could give the order, Ao Lie had already moved.

It meandered through the sea, emitting a deafening dragon's roar, its jade scales radiating a precious light that even illuminated the deep blue seabed.

In an instant, the fish stopped swimming, the seaweed stopped swaying, and the surrounding seawater became extremely heavy.

"Teacher, is this Zhou Hao's supernatural power? It seems to be a skill that manipulates gravity?"

Principal Zhu's expression was serious, but he was inwardly deeply shocked. He was a master card maker, primarily specializing in naval battle cards.

He even trained Guo Chen, the number one card maker in Shanhai City and the strongest naval battle card maker below the title level.

When it comes to his familiarity with water, few in the entire Shanhai City can match him.

Principal Zhu took a deep breath: "This isn't manipulating gravity, this is controlling water! This ability to control seawater is simply unbelievable."

Under the control of this sea monster, the originally disordered and loose seawater even had a solidified feel.

This is why we in this sea area felt that the seawater had become heavier.

Having lived for over a hundred years, all sorts of strange things happen to him; even Guo Chen's [River God] blue card back then couldn't have been more extraordinary.

Upon hearing this, Lao Yu no longer had the idea of ​​forcing growth by using those skill cards.

Meanwhile, the diamond [Boxing Shrimp Monster] and the super crab at the bottom of the cliff also noticed the anomaly, and naturally they were unwilling to sit idly by and wait for their doom.

"boom!!"

Diamond [Boxing Shrimp Monster] leads a large group of [Boss-level] shrimp monsters, resembling fish.

It stubbornly shot upwards against the strong resistance towards the Jade Dragon Ao Lie.
