Card Making: My Card Game Starts with the White Dragon

On the city wall, Zhou Hao remained calm as he quietly watched Xiao Huohuo fighting with fish not far below.

He was on high alert, ready to see what kind of cards this prodigy, suspected to be the reincarnation of the [Emperor Yan], would use.

But he saw that after Xiao Huohuo performed a series of complicated actions, the card he had just summoned suddenly flickered and then disappeared.

Then came the "piranha monster" and the "water ghost" combo, leaving this prodigy in a rather disheveled state.

Zhou Hao did not take advantage of the situation, after all, he wanted to test himself and needed a strong opponent. Winning by sneak attack was not what he wanted.

He stood atop the towering city wall, summoning Ao Lie, the Shrimp Soldiers, and the Crab Generals, watching Xiao Huohuo "enjoy" himself not far from the city gate.

As the "head steward" of the West Sea Dragon Palace, Princess Xin Hai of the Mirage Dragon thoughtfully moved the throne in the Dragon Palace to the city wall, so that her master could recover some spiritual power at any time.

Thus, under the watchful eyes of everyone present, Zhou Hao sat high on the throne, watching the new second-in-command below the city, who had awakened the [Sea Heart Flame], a strange fire similar to that of the [Emperor Yan], being entangled by a group of cannon fodder to the point of almost breaking his defenses.

However, the focus of attention outside the arena was not entirely on Zhou Hao's arrogant appearance; more people noticed the five cards.

"Why do the cards summoned by Haoshen have that faint glow? They look so powerful."

"That should be a deck. I once saw one of my dad's comrades who had cards like that. He was also the champion of their team for three consecutive years."

"I've heard of it too, but it's said that this thing is extremely difficult to make. It requires a bond between the Legion, Summon, and Field cards that is recognized by the card-making rules. Very few card makers can make it."

"Many card makers might not be able to assemble a single deck in their entire lives, and this is just the starting point for Haoshen?"

"Furthermore, putting aside the deck, the sheer number of cards Hao Shen has is outrageous enough, isn't it? I'm still clueless about my third card, and Hao Shen has already pulled out five? Is Hao Shen even from the same world as us?"

"Not just five cards, Hao Shen also has that terrifyingly tough Calabash Brother card, so Hao Shen currently has at least six cards in his hand."

"Let me tell you another scary story. It's only been a month since Hao Shen became a junior card maker."

"Good, good, good, a reborn card maker, speedrunning the title-level challenge, huh? Hao Shen's life is my dream!"

Of course, most of the ordinary students were amazed by Zhou Hao's strength, but those like Ma Ling'er, who were unwilling to admit defeat and wanted to challenge him, were a little upset.

"A deck consisting of only five cards? Doesn't the difficulty of weaving stories and building bonds even exist for him?"

She knew, of course, that the more cards a deck had, the more difficult it would be to create.

Before she met Zhou Hao, she absolutely could not believe that an ordinary person who had only been making cards for a month or two could create a deck containing five cards.

Of course, it wasn't just the students who were surprised; even the people in the specially invited audience seats found it hard to remain calm.

"President Guo, you've been hiding such a powerful trump card all along? You've built such a strong deck at this stage? Even among the top seeds from various cities, it's not weak, is it?"

"The atmosphere surrounding this domain card is truly remarkable. Sigh, when will our Fengdu City's [Ghost No. 1 Middle School] produce a figure like this?"

"President Guo, Tianjian University is willing to admit Zhou Hao now, and even guarantee him a place as the dean's last disciple. I wonder..."

"Li Tiankui, you've even recruited students for your city's universities? Chairman Guo, I, Wu Er, can give this child a special admission qualification to Peking University right now."

Li Tiankui sneered, "Heh, do you, Wu Er, have the authority to make decisions about special admissions to Beijing University?"

Wu Er seemed to have been touched on a sore spot, and his expression became somewhat unnatural as he said, "With such talent, it's natural that the application could be approved."

"Then why don't you go and apply first..."

"you!!"

Seeing the two men on the verge of exchanging blows, Chairman Guo remained calm and continued smoking his pipe, showing no intention of intervening, clearly unfazed by the situation.

Ma Huateng, who was beside him, did not get involved. He just glanced at Yinlang, who was staring at the screen next to him, and was quite surprised.

"You've given up gaming? I've seen plenty of geniuses before, but I've never seen you this interested."

Silver Wolf, however, stared intently at the screen with bright eyes, his gaze fixed on [Mirage Dragon Heart Sea Princess], and said excitedly:

"It's different, it's completely different..."

Not only in the arena, but this showdown is also spreading rapidly through the internet, media, and live streaming.

"[Emperor Yan] is suspected to have fallen, [Sea Heart Flame] has reappeared in the world, the orphan of a martyr overpowers an unparalleled genius, and the deck was completed in one month from the first card."

These news stories are all explosive and eye-catching enough that not only Shanhai City, but even Shangjing City has received the news.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Xiao Huohuo finally dealt with these annoying [piranha monsters].

When he looked up, he saw Zhou Hao sitting high on the city wall, looking down at him.

He sat upon a majestic and magnificent crystal throne, shrouded in a faint blue mist.

The throne is as dazzling as a diamond, and although its surface is inlaid with gold and jade, it is noble but not vulgar.

Combined with the backdrop of the dilapidated ancient city behind him and the massive sea monster legion below, it truly resembled a king looking down upon all living beings.

This aura was so powerful that even a genius like Xiao Huohuo felt a strong sense of pressure.

Of course, there was more envy than anything else, a genuine envy from the bottom of my heart.

"Sitting alone on the throne, he quietly watched his opponent struggle in disarray."

Even when I failed to summon cards, he didn't take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, displaying his domineering kingly aura.

Damn it, compared to others, I'm practically a clown!

Despite feeling envious and ashamed, Xiao Huohuo still said to Zhou Hao, "Thank you."

Zhou Hao didn't mind and casually replied, "You're welcome. You must have made a deck too, right?"

Xiao Huohuo nodded, and Zhou Hao said, "I just wanted to test the strength of the deck. Since we've both made the deck, why don't we summon it and have a showdown?"

Xiao Huohuo's lips curled up, and her eyes lit up as she looked at Zhou Hao: "That's exactly what I was thinking!!"

As he spoke, Xiao Huohuo also produced four cards in his hand, two blue and two purple.

The four cards were also connected by a faint glow, flickering like breathing, and the two decks were exactly the same in terms of both the number and quality of cards.

Then, Xiao Huohuo once again demonstrated his Thunder Naming System.

"[The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Endless Fire Domain Netherworld Prison Suppressing Armor of Ten Thousand Flames]!! Appears!!"

"[The Endless Fiery Domain of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths: Soul-Severing and Life-Destroying Lotus]!! Appears!!"

"[The Endless Fiery Domain of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Overlord of the Seas, the Devouring God-Slaying Serpent]!! Appears!!"

However, when he summoned the field card, his tone suddenly changed, and his name was only four characters long.

"[Endless Fire Domain]!! Appears!!"
