Card Making: My Card Game Starts with the White Dragon

"Yes, that's the feeling, but it's clearer now."

Zhou Hao carefully sensed the flow of spiritual energy within his body; it was as if he had entered bullet time.

He boldly began to guide these spiritual forces, attempting to concentrate them and direct them towards his own hand.

Zhou Hao already had this awareness, but at that time his awareness was too weak and his mental strength was not strong enough.

Now, as he advances to the intermediate card maker level, his consciousness is also improving along with his mental strength.

But this was still a bit beyond his capabilities. At this moment, Zhou Hao's consciousness was like a thin rein, struggling to restrain the wild horse of his spiritual power.

"It was still very difficult, but I barely succeeded this time!!"

Zhou Hao felt the spiritual energy change its flow and surge into his raised hand, which became increasingly golden.

In contrast, as the hand grew brighter, the rest of Zhou Hao's body quickly dimmed.

……

On the battlefield, Guo Chen was ready to rescue Zhou Hao.

As a master-level card maker, his eyesight was naturally extraordinary. With just one glance, Guo Chen had already basically seen through the true nature of Xiao Huohuo's skill.

"He can teleport wherever there is fire? This is no longer a simple fire-type card skill, is it? This kid from the Xiao family has terrifying talent."

With such terrifying skills, combined with the field card [Endless Fire Domain] and Xiao Huo Huo's own extremely high combat power.

Once on the battlefield, many enemies might be wiped out with a single blow before they even see Xiao Huohuo.

Without specific cards or skills, it's impossible to defend against this tactic.

Although Zhou Hao's body had withstood Tiger Vanguard's "Sick Tiger Knocks on Three Gates" before, that was, after all, a direct and open battle.

Zhou Hao is clearly under attack now. If this foot-sized blow were to land and cause serious injury, Guo Chen would not be able to accept it.

However, just as he was about to make his move, he suddenly witnessed an outrageous scene.

On the city wall below, Zhou Hao, who sat high on his throne, began to radiate dazzling golden light.

Not only that, Zhou Hao even raised his hand when he had no view behind him, making sure the path was just right to block the heavy ruler that was about to fall on his head.

However, because Xiao Huohuo's attack came too suddenly, Zhou Hao didn't even have time to put his raised hand into a proper blocking stance.

It looks more like a shape with two fingers held up.

Xiao Huohuo's eyelids twitched as he watched, and his noodles twitched slightly.

"He thinks he can catch me with just two fingers? Damn, he's such a show-off!!"

Xiao Huohuo was somewhat angry, but also somewhat longing.

He aspires to do this because he thinks it's incredibly cool and stylish to catch an enemy attack with just two fingers, relying solely on reaction time, without any visual contact.

The anger stemmed from the fact that Zhou Hao had used such a cool move first.

Compared to Zhou Hao, who sat firmly on the throne and exuded an air of superiority, Xiao Huohuo felt like a villain who was jumping around, dark and despicable.

"We'll see if you can really withstand this attack!!"

Xiao Huohuo gritted his teeth so hard they almost broke, and he tightened his grip even more.

He had also seen the legendary video of Zhou Hao using his bare body to withstand the [Tiger Vanguard] skill, and knew that Zhou Hao's body had extremely high resistance to physical attacks.

However, the [Myriad Flames Profound Heavy Ruler] is not a simple physical attack; the strange fire is the real killing move.

Xiao Huohuo had even begun to fantasize: "In a moment, when he can't withstand it anymore, I'll turn around and wave my hand to retract the strange fire on his body, and then he can only fall off the throne and watch my back..."

"clang!!"

Just then, a crisp metallic clang shattered Xiao Huohuo's illusion.

The scene he imagined—Zhou Hao suffering terribly from the burns of the strange fire, struggling to stay afloat, and falling from the throne—did not happen.

Zhou Hao sat firmly on the throne without turning his head, yet he seemed to be fully aware of the movements of the heavy ruler behind him.

He simply extended two golden fingers and firmly blocked Xiao Huohuo's determined attack.

Not only that, the golden light that Zhou Hao was originally radiating also rushed towards those two fingers like a stream of water, making the golden light on their surface even more dazzling, to the point that the shape of the fingers could hardly be seen.

Zhou Hao carefully felt the key points of releasing a partial [Divine Power - Indestructible Vajra], and also tried to feel the difference between it and the complete [Divine Power - Indestructible Vajra] through Xiao Huohuo's attack.

His two fingers discovered the moment they touched the [Myriad Flames Profound Ruler] that the passively triggered full-form [Divine Power - Indestructible Vajra] could not withstand the fusion of the [Sea Heart Flame] and [Bone Spirit Cold Fire].

Because in the instant of contact, Zhou Hao felt his fingers instantly enveloped by an extremely cold aura, and even the golden light on his two fingers showed signs of peeling off.

Zhou Hao was not surprised by this, because although the [Divine Power - Indestructible Vajra] had extremely strong physical defense, it was much less resistant to "elemental attacks" like strange fire.

However, [Divine Power - Indestructible Vajra] is a divine power-level defensive skill after all. This body of flesh with its metallic texture can withstand even the fusion of two different flames to some extent.

Moreover, as Zhou Hao channeled more and more spiritual energy into his fingers, he actually felt the chilling sensation brought by the strange fire weaken, and even the golden light that was faintly cracking was quickly repaired.

"Interesting. It seems that one can also infuse spiritual energy into a certain part of the body to enhance the strength of [Divine Power: Indestructible Vajra]. The stronger the spiritual energy infused, the higher the defensive power of [Divine Power: Indestructible Vajra]? Is this considered an advanced use of [Divine Power: Indestructible Vajra]?"

Zhou Hao held the [Myriad Flames Profound Heavy Ruler] firmly between two fingers while pondering it.

But this scene completely broke Xiao Huohuo's defenses, who had just been immersed in his fantasy.

He naturally noticed the change in Zhou Hao's fingertips just now, but he still couldn't believe it:

"How can someone have such an abnormal body? This is the flame generated by the fusion of two different flames. Even ordinary boss-level monsters would be severely injured if they got caught in it, yet he's completely unharmed?"

But after a moment's thought, Xiao Huohuo immediately realized: "No, it's not that nothing happened. The golden light on his finger cracked the instant he touched my strange fire."

However, as golden light surged from his entire body to his fingers, the defense of the struck area seemed to be strengthened, indicating that it wasn't impossible to break through his defenses...

Having figured out the problem, Xiao Huohuo prepared to try again. He turned around and prepared to pull away the [Myriad Flames Profound Heavy Ruler] that Zhou Hao was holding between his two fingers, waiting for an opportunity to launch another surprise attack.

However, Xiao Huohuo felt as if his weapon was fixed in place. He pulled hard, but the [Myriad Flames Profound Heavy Ruler] did not budge.

Zhou Hao slowly turned around, looked at the shocked Xiao Huohuo, and asked with a smile, "That was a good move. Anything else?"

Xiao Huohuo's mouth gaped open, and he asked with an expression as if he had seen a ghost, "This strength, are you even human?"

"Clang...click!!"

Before he could finish speaking, the [Myriad Flames Profound Heavy Ruler] shattered instantly, exploding into a pile of metal fragments burning with a ghastly white flame.
