My Card Beast Taming Game

The next second, the Frostback Weasel in mid-air suddenly separated from its head and body, losing all life before it could even scream, its pale blue blood splattering all over the ground.

"..."

The young man was dumbfounded.

The audience felt the same way; it seemed that the two sides, which had been evenly matched just moments before, had suddenly lost in the blink of an eye!

How did we suddenly lose?

Something is wrong!

Something's not right!

The young man involved was equally baffled; he felt he had made a perfectly valid attack…

Perhaps it's because the Frostback Weasel is off the ground!

He took a minute to reflect briefly before summoning the Frostspine Weasel back into the fray.

Who would have thought that he would be defeated even faster this time?

Because Zhou Chen had completely figured out the Frostspine Weasel's attack patterns, he still responded with a downward slash when the little white creature charged at him.

The opponent indeed fell for the trap, accelerating a second time just like before, and launching a flanking attack on the White Ape's lower body.

It seems to have path dependence.

Little did they know that the White Ape's downward slash was a feint, and his upward slash was the real move, which sent the Frostback Weasel flying.

Then--

Step forward! Charge up for a diagonal slash!

After a flash of silver light, the Frostback Weasel was cleaved in two at an angle, its blood spilling onto the ground once more.

The young man was stunned, "This..."

The audience was abuzz with discussion.

"What a quick knife!"

"He won the second game so quickly, was he just messing around in the previous one?"

"Duh! That's called using stillness to control movement and launching a sudden counterattack! They're adjusting to the rhythm; didn't you see how brilliant their defense was in the last game? What a great tactic!"

"No problem! Back in my day—"

"Alright, alright, nobody wants to hear your glorious deeds."

"I don't like this style of play. Spirit Card Arena should be all about punches and kicks to be exciting."

As they said, Zhou Chen is adapting to his opponent's rhythm.

Having trained in high-level dungeons for so long, he was eager to test his skills in actual combat. Therefore, instead of launching a fierce attack at the beginning, he gave his opponent the opportunity to deal damage.

As expected, under its opponent's control, the Frostridge Weasel maximized both its agility and explosive power.

Unfortunately, it's still far inferior to Silver-tier monsters.

Having adapted to the rhythm, Zhou Chen stopped holding back and took the Frostback Weasel's life without hesitation.

The movements were so smooth it was as if the other person had deliberately bumped into them.

"Beep—"

The referee blew his whistle and declared Zhou Chen the winner.

He nodded to the young man not far away, then retrieved the White Ape and left.

Off the field, Gao Liang and Shi Xiaodong smiled and gave him a high-five.

"Well done, Chen!"

"Brother Chen is sharp!"

Zhou Chen felt a little embarrassed by the praise, but then turned to Lu Qingning to show off her achievements.

Lu Qingning sent him a meme of a puppy giving a death stare.

Don't bother me until I win the championship trophy!

"Isn't this all alone, with no one to share my joy with...?" Zhou Chen posted a sad panda emoji.

Half a minute later, Lu Qingning sent a voice message that lasted five seconds.

She said inside, "Zhou Chen, are you looking for a beating? Just a few days ago you were telling me about Gao Liang and Shi Xiaodong, saying they watched the games and ate barbecue with you every day, and now you're saying there's no one to share your joy? Huh?"

Han Baobao's laughter could be heard in the background.

Zhou Chen: "..."

Oh dear! What a blunder!

He quickly sent a pleading emoji, then added, "I mainly wanted to share my joy with you as soon as possible."

"roll."

Okay.

Zhou Chen didn't dare to harass him any further.

Compared to real-life communication, communicating online made him less reserved, and thus he became more unrestrained.

At the same time, due to his outstanding performance, more and more people began to investigate him.

However, when they discovered that their personal files had been marked with the logo of the Five Nations, they were immediately alarmed and reported it to their superiors.

This child belongs to the Five Nations!

This matter quickly spread to a small circle, and even the Five Nations knew about it. The person in charge of managing the card masters in the council was initially puzzled, wondering when they had acquired such a person.

It was only after investigation that it was discovered that Zhou Chen was not a card master employee of the association, but a special member established by the headquarters, nominally affiliated with the Five Associations.

Special Member!

The person in charge was shocked by Zhou Chen's identity and also felt strange. When did the Fengcheng branch have an extra member? How come he didn't know?

The person in charge went to ask other departments for information and learned that this special member was arranged by Ms. Lu.

How many Miss Lus are there in the Five Kingdoms?

The person in charge dared not investigate further and simply pretended that nothing had happened.

The next day, the second round of the Silver Division began, and Zhou Chen arrived at the venue again around 10 o'clock.

He recently discovered that watching games live helps calm his turbulent emotions, so he comes to watch the games before practicing in the afternoon, regardless of whether there is a match or not.

As he traveled between different venues in search of interesting matches, a card creature in Hall 7 caught Zhou Chen's attention.

"Mist Shadow Owl?"

He gazed at the large owl below, its feathers a gradient of misty gray and jet black, and saw it suddenly flap its wings to create a clone as it fought fiercely with its enemy, thus confirming the name of this spirit card.

My gaze then locked onto its card player.

Zhou Chen hesitated for a moment, then took a picture of it and sent it to Lu Qingning.

Two minutes later, the reply arrived.

Don't show me this! We've broken up!

"..."

Zhou Chen's lips twitched.

Lu Qingning used to have two teammates who were inseparable from her: one was Han Baobao, the rich girl from Lingka Mall, and the other was Mei Xian, who came from a relatively ordinary family but worked very hard.

Mei Xian was not a student at No. 1 Middle School, but a distant niece of the school's dean of studies.

When the head of the teaching department heard that Lu Qingning was recruiting teammates, he recommended Mei Xian, who had an honest personality.

The three girls unexpectedly hit it off, and the team they formed went on to train in many secret realms, eventually all of them successfully advancing to the level of junior card masters.

Although Mei Xian is a year older than Han Baobao, her personality prevents her from acting like an elder, so the two affectionately call her Xiao Mei.

The three had agreed to apply to the same Card Master Academy, but a recent dispute caused them to fall apart. Lu Qingning and Han Baobao went to summer camp, while Mei Xian stayed in Fengcheng.

This was the first time Zhou Chen had met Mei Xian, and his understanding of her was limited to this photo, "Mist Shadow Night Owl".

It is said that Mei Xian took out a loan to buy it from Han Baobao's shopping mall after she was promoted to junior card specialist.

To repay the debt, Lu Qingning and Han Baobao accompanied Mei Xian through the secret realm for a long time.

The reason he knew was mainly because Han Baobao wanted to tell him just how outrageous his luck was.

How could a normal card master team earn several million in three days by hunting a mixed group of silver and bronze monsters?

The average person's card-making success rate is only 20% to 30%, and that's without removing the monster materials. Anyone who can achieve 50% success is a famous lucky charm.

Zhou Chen's score is close to 70%, which is so high that no one would believe it if you told them, which is why Hua Ning doesn't dare to praise him too much.

Chapter 58: Pulling Back the Tiger's Skin Again

Zhou Chen did not reply to the message.

He simply took pictures of Mei Xian's match silently and then sent them to her.

Given that Lu Qingning is so sentimental that she's even willing to lend a helping hand to herself, the probability of her truly severing all ties with Mei Xian before things completely fall apart is actually quite low.

Both sides were simply angry...

Well, he didn't know Lu Qingning very well, so as soon as she mentioned not to post it again, he immediately retracted everything and apologized on his knees.

However, no.

He rested his chin on his hand and gazed into the distance. After a long while, he sighed and said, "Indeed, their strength is inherited from one generation to the next."

The Night Owl is a flexible card creature with many unexpected moves. Its two active skills are similar to creating a shadow clone and releasing gray mist to cover its movements.

It is well-suited for guerrilla warfare and harassment.

Mei Xian's fighting style perfectly complemented this spirit card, defeating her opponent with surprise and deception. She defeated her opponent with virtually no effort and advanced to the next round.

Hey.

My phone is vibrating.

He opened it and saw that it was a reply from Lu Qingning.

What's her number?

Number 187.

"Thanks."

Lu Qingning didn't reply after that, and Zhou Chen focused on watching the game.

afternoon.

Zhou Chen arrived at the club for practice as usual.

Ding Yinan repeatedly praised, "Your progress is nothing short of miraculous!"

The fighting power displayed by the White Ape King is indeed increasing at a visible rate.

It has only been a few days since they were unilaterally beaten up, and now they are able to put up some resistance.

Ding Yinan couldn't help but lament that if she had had that kind of talent back then, she would have been more than a substitute, let alone made it onto the school team.

If this boy's mental strength can grow at a rate comparable to his card manipulation speed, his future will be immeasurable.

"Thank you."

Zhou Chen thanked him softly, then released the summoning card and went to the rest room to take a shower.

Today's practice session lasted a bit too long, so he needs to hurry home to grind dungeons. He must do three sessions a day, barring any special circumstances.

Ding Yinan smiled and escorted him back to the lobby, and thoughtfully called a car for him. But then an acquaintance walked towards them from outside.

Zhou Chen's brows furrowed imperceptibly.

It's Wang Xinyao, the girl I had a grudge against at the alumni reunion.

The other person also saw him, but immediately lowered their head like a quail.
