My Card Beast Taming Game

This also caught the attention of the boy next to her, but this person was not the same one from her previous school.

The boy blocked his path without hesitation. "Stop! Did you bully Yaoyao?"

Wang Xinyao looked up in surprise, raised her hand and called out, "Wait—"

Ding Yinan, who was accompanying them, reacted even faster, quickly shielding Zhou Chen behind her and saying with a forced smile, "Young Master Lu! What are you doing? Let's talk this out."

"Manager Ding?"

Lu Lang seemed to only then notice Ding Yinan, and snorted, "It's none of your business! I'm asking you about the one behind you! You dare to do it but not admit it, huh?"

Zhou Chen didn't say anything, but felt that this person's excited appearance resembled a teddy bear.

Ding Yinan was very troubled, "Young Master Lu..."

Unruly teenage card players are a major social problem in China. These strange individuals exist in every social circle, the only difference being the number of them.

The man in front of us, Lu Lang, is one of the club's recognized problem children.

However, Ding Yinan remembered that he seemed to have kept a low profile for the past six months. Why did he suddenly start causing trouble again?

She glanced at Zhou Chen and quickly realized the answer—

The other two particularly difficult ones have disappeared; when the tiger is away, the monkey becomes king.

Ding Yinan suddenly had a solution and whispered something in Lu Lang's ear.

The man's agitated expression faltered slightly. He glanced at her, who was nodding wildly, then at Zhou Chen, who remained expressionless. "You're not lying to me?"

"Young Master Lu, what happened?" Lu Lang's representative rushed over; it was none other than Wang Xinyao's third uncle, Wang Zhiyuan.

Lu Lang instinctively reached out to point at Zhou Chen, but then stopped mid-air. "He's Lu Qingning's cousin? Really?"

Wang Zhiyuan nodded and said, "That's indeed the case..."

Lu Lang fell silent.

Wang Xinyao stared at Zhou Chen, Lu Qingning's cousin, in utter shock!

In the Five Families Club in Fengcheng, there is no one who doesn't know Lu Qingning.

First, family background; second, behavior style.

Because of her extremely arrogant personality, she was harassed by some arrogant and domineering individuals when she first arrived at the club.

In response, Lu Qingning decisively chose to resort to force.

In the end, she was not punished at all, but those people never appeared again, and the Maple City Card Master Circle completely lost track of them.

Lu Lang almost became one of them, but luckily he went to play somewhere else during that time.

But when he got home, he received a warning from his father, who told him not to go to the club for a while, or he would break his legs.

Lu Lang knew his father was serious.

After all, he was just one of his father's twenty-odd children who was lucky enough to become a card master.

Therefore, Lu Lang has potential PTSD regarding this name, and only recently, after learning that the other party went to a summer camp, did he dare to resurface.

Who knew that Lu Qingning's cousin would show up!

Lu Lang was momentarily at a loss for words. He instinctively wanted to back down, but then a surge of anger suddenly arose within him.

At this moment, Ding Yinan spoke up, turning to Zhou Chen, who was already intending to leave, and said, "Your car is almost here!"

"Ah."

Zhou Chen nodded and walked around.

Lu Lang watched his retreating figure, his anger still burning, but he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Once the other person was completely out of sight, Lu Lang snorted, "Good thing this guy ran fast! Yao Yao, are you alright?"

"..."

Wang Xinyao's face was filled with despair.

What could possibly happen to her? What does it have to do with her?

Unfortunately, Lu Lang was someone he couldn't afford to offend, as the other party's father was an intermediate-level card master, and the difference between an intermediate-level card master and a beginner-level card master was on a completely different level.

She forced a smile and said, "No, it's nothing."

Wang Zhiyuan glanced at her, said nothing more, apologized to Lu Lang, and then took her away.

Lu Lang then took out his phone and inquired about Zhou Chen's situation.

When he learned that Lu Qingning had been bringing Zhou Chen over to practice manipulating spirit cards almost every day for the past two weeks, he was filled with mixed emotions of regret and resentment.

He regretted getting into trouble and was resentful that he was afraid of even Lu Qingning's cousin.

He then heard that Zhou Chen had participated in the Yu Zhong Cup, which instantly boosted his confidence.

"A mere newbie dares to participate in the Yuzhong Cup? He'd better not run into me!"

Lu Lang is currently still a trainee card master, but he believes he is not far from becoming a junior card master, so he wants to participate in the Yu Zhong Cup one last time before being promoted and get a good ranking.

This greatly helped him enroll in Yuzhou College two months later.

Defeating her cousin fair and square in the competition, Lu Qingning should have nothing to say, right?

Although Zhou Chen never said a word to Lu Lang from beginning to end, Lu Lang still regarded him as an adversary, after all, he was in a very bad mood.

I believe that once he defeats him, his path to becoming a junior card master will be much smoother!

The mental strength enhancement techniques that Lu Qingning looked down upon were actually secrets commonly used by many low-level card masters.

The second round of the two competition zones concluded the following day, and the third round of the preliminary rounds was about to begin.

Zhou Chen will also face a truly formidable opponent.

According to what he had found out, more than 45% of the more than 500 people were middle and lower grade students of Fengcheng Academy; 15% were students from other card master academies in Yuzhong area; 30% came from various clubs; and the last 10% were "freelance cultivators" like him and Shi Xiaodong.

Maple City Academy, as the name suggests, is a card master academy in Maple City.

If we compare Shen Du Academy to the top 3, and Yu Zhou Academy to a double first-class university, then Feng Cheng Academy is... a junior college.

That's right, Fengcheng College can only be considered a junior college. Its past performance was so poor that it didn't even match that of a regular undergraduate college.

So much so that when Zhou Chen first wanted to expand his network, he didn't even consider applying to Fengcheng Academy, but instead set his sights on the distant Yuzhou Academy, and didn't even frequent Fengcheng Academy's forum.

Chapter 59: Ghost Card

The third round on the same day.

Zhou Chen was both lucky and unlucky; the match was scheduled for midnight.

As he prepared to compete, Shi Xiaodong offered his blessings as usual. His competition time was 2:20 PM.

I wish us all the best in advancing!

"Ok!"

Zhou Chen nodded slightly.

His opponent this time was a girl who didn't look much older than him.

As the two walked out of the players' tunnel, a unified chant of her name could be heard from above.

"Go, senior!"

"You have to win, senior!"

Upon hearing this, the girl smiled, turned around, and waved towards the audience.

Senior?

Fengcheng College or other institutions...

Zhou Chen didn't think too much about it and focused his attention back on the upcoming battle. Since she was a senior, her strength must be extraordinary.

Of course, the skill level of a card player at the same stage is not linearly related to the amount of time spent practicing. It is not that someone who practices for a longer time is necessarily better.

There are many other things to consider, such as reaction speed, fighting style, and even the extent of mental growth. It's not something that can be achieved simply by investing time.

He took a deep breath.

The referee quickly read out the rules of the competition and indicated that the two players should choose the spirit card.

"twitter."

The White Ape entered the arena, lazily gazing at his opponent, who was dozens of meters away, with a long sword slung over his shoulder.

It was a giant crow whose entire body seemed to be made of tattered bluish-black cloth, with a gloomy gray aura. Only its head and two claws under its belly were still relatively clear. It hovered in the air, occasionally letting out a piercing cry that made people feel irritable.

Zhou Chen was stunned. A card he had never seen before?

Shi Xiaodong, watching from the sidelines, also found this card creature completely unfamiliar. After researching it for a long time, he learned its name—

【The Blue Crow Demon】.

It is not actually a crow but a ghost, which is why it looks so strange.

It belongs to the category of extremely rare spirit cards that are not available for purchase on the market and for which there is very little information available.

"on!"

The girl shouted, and the Blue Crow Demon "flared its wings" and attacked.

"Caw! Caw! Caw!"

The piercing screams were clearly audible even in the noisy venue.

This guy's speed is definitely not fast, but Zhou Chen did not rashly let the white ape go up to test it. His intuition told him that this kind of completely unfamiliar spirit card might have some strange skills.

To be on the safe side, let's keep the blade hidden for now.

He shifted his steps slightly to the side, while White Ape silently raised his sword and held it in front of him, waiting for the Blue Crow Demon to rush in with his opponent.

A few seconds later, the two sides were extremely close.

"Suffer to death!"

"Gah!"

The girl let out a sharp cry that was in sync with the Blue Crow Demon, who swooped down like a hunting eagle and suddenly extended its dark claws from under its belly.

The speed has increased!

Another card creature that can accelerate twice?

Zhou Chen manipulated the white ape to retreat swiftly, touching the ground with its toes, and raised his knife to block its claws.

Suddenly.

He noticed that the Blue Raven suddenly flapped its wings forward, and its two claws under its belly mysteriously disappeared, suddenly reappearing at the tips of its wings.

Sharp claws pierced the white ape's temple like two ghosts banging on a door!

WTF! ?

Zhou Chen's pupils trembled violently, unaware that this was the most distinctive characteristic of the Green Crow Demon—

The body has no fixed form!

Only its head and claws are physical entities; its body parts are entirely composed of spirit. Therefore, it can easily move its head to its rear end and its claws to its wings if it so desires.

Ding ding!

Two crisp sounds.

Suddenly, the White Ape King used a change of tactics, wrapping his head around the enemy's head, to block the attacks from both sides. Then, with a powerful gust of wind, he swung his long sword straight at the Green Crow Ghost hanging in mid-air.

"Gah!"

The mist around the Green Crow Demon suddenly contracted, and its figure moved as fast as lightning. With the passive acceleration, it slid away diagonally, only letting the blade brush past a wisp of dissipating black mist.

What a quick reaction!

Zhou Chen didn't expect his opponent to be able to dodge it. The people from the Card Master Academy are indeed extraordinary; their mental strength is very strong!

"twitter!"

With a soft shout, Bai Yuangong took advantage of the momentum of the blade before it had fully slumped, stepped forward, spun around, and slashed horizontally, the crackling blade sweeping towards the head of the Green Crow Demon.

However, the Blue Raven Demon moved its head elsewhere first.
