In a flash, the distance between the two card creatures closed rapidly.

Han Fei hurriedly increased the height of the Golden-Patterned Warrior, her intuition telling her that it was best not to engage in close combat with the White Ape.

As it turned out, her idea was correct. When the white ape was five meters away, it leaped up and turned around with lightning speed, unleashing a heavy and powerful slash!

The sunlight reflected off the blade, so bright it was blinding. A sense of unease spurred Han Fei to grab the Golden-Patterned Warrior's card, intending to retrieve it.

Unfortunately, Zhou Chen and the White Ape didn't give her a chance this time.

"Well!"

Han Fei let out a muffled groan, her hand trembling slightly as she pulled out the card.

The sharp pain in her head told her it was too late. Looking up at the sky, she saw that the golden-patterned warrior had been cut in two and turned into ashes.

Sold out in seconds!

beep—

The referee blows the whistle.

The audience erupted in commotion. The match was too short, and Han Fei's juniors didn't even have time to cheer her on.

Zhou Chen breathed a huge sigh of relief. Luckily, it was a spirit card he recognized. If it were another spirit card like the Azure Crow Demon, he would have a real headache.

Once Han Fei recovers and summons the Azure Crow again, the outcome of the match is no longer in doubt.

The White Ape King's broadsword, with its hidden edge, allowed him to flawlessly parry the Blue Crow Demon's attacks and often find opportunities to strike it twice.

Despite still being injured, Han Fei just couldn't break through.

Unable to maintain her composure any longer, she lost her composure and Zhou Chen seized the opportunity, allowing the White Ape to slash the Green Crow Demon's bird head in one blow.

We won the third round!

"call……"

Zhou Chen relaxed completely.

The high-intensity combat in advanced dungeons honed his resilience, allowing him to maintain crucial mental stability even when facing high-speed attacks from opponents and when White Ape was injured.

On the other side, Han Fei carefully observed the White Ape King, thinking to herself that this card was ridiculously strong.

She realized that if it weren't for the special nature of the Blue Crow Demon, she would probably have been killed with a single blow long ago.

"you……"

Han Fei was about to continue chatting with Zhou Chen when she discovered that he had already taken back his spirit card and left, acting as if he was rushing to another event.

Where did this person come from?

Just woke up this year?

Feeling unfamiliar with Zhou Chen, she decided to inquire about him.

Chapter 61: Internal Strife

Outside the stadium.

Shi Xiaodong and Gao Liang were conveying information about Han Fei to Zhou Chen.

"Awesome, Brother Chen! You beat the top eight from the year before last! That beauty is a third-year student at Fengcheng Academy! I heard she's on the school team!"

"I think she wanted to talk to you. Didn't you add her as a friend, Ah Chen?"

"Um...no."

Zhou Chen smiled, inwardly equally surprised.

Is this person on the school team?

She's probably not a formal member of the school team, after all, even the junior card master Shen Jiayi is just a substitute.

Is the entry threshold for Fengcheng College's school team really that low? Even trainee card masters can get in. No wonder it has fallen to the junior college level...

Zhou Chen took out his phone to look up information about the Green Crow Ghost and quickly found some of its publicly available information.

"An extremely rare spirit card!"

No wonder I didn't recognize him!

After this experience, he decided to learn about all the spirit cards used by previous high-ranking players so that he wouldn't be at a loss if he encountered a similar situation again.

The competition ended quickly that day, and when he returned home, he shared his thoughts with Lu Qingning.

"Do it if you think it's necessary!"

Lu Qingning's answer was quite straightforward, adding, "Go ask Hanbao for help; I don't know much about Bronze-tier spirit cards yet."

Since becoming a junior card master, she hasn't looked into bronze cards anymore and isn't very familiar with the currently popular spirit cards.

After Han Baobao learned that he wanted to buy a card, she recommended someone to him.

"This is my sales manager. Send him your requirements, and he'll give you the relevant card library. You just need to pick one."

"Okay!"

Zhou Chen excitedly added the sales manager as a friend.

Soon, the other party sent him a mini-program according to his request. After opening it, a dazzling array of spirit cards came into view.

He initially favored the Golden-Patterned Warrior he had met during the day, but after careful consideration and reviewing many spirit cards, he changed his mind.

White Ape is undoubtedly still the core, and this new spirit card should ideally be something that can support it.

In other words, either its death will bring a buff to the White Ape King, or it will inflict a debuff on the opponent.

With a clear goal in mind, the range of spirit cards available for selection was indeed greatly reduced.

After learning of his needs, the sales manager messaged him again five minutes later: "Are you interested in mutated spirit cards?"

"have."

Zhou Chen did not hesitate.

He knew what a mutated spirit card was. Like ultra-rare spirit cards, it was something that could break through the price ceiling of the bronze tier and rival the price of a silver card.

More importantly, there are few channels to purchase these items, and many stores don't stock them because they can't generate stable profits.

The sales manager quickly selected the target spirit card for him in the mini-program.

As the premier card shop in Maple City, it has nothing else to offer but a ton of cards.

Despite the extreme rarity of mutation cards, Zhou Chen still saw a large number of them.

There are quite a few spirit cards that meet his needs.

Unfortunately, the overall values ​​are generally low.

After much trouble, Zhou Chen found a card that was satisfactory in all aspects, which was...

He looks rather eerie.

Name: Blue Pyromaniac

Race: Ghost

[Rank: Bronze]

[Attribute: Darkness + Fire]

[Rank: One Star]

Passive Skill - [Curse of Ember]

"Upon death, the user releases phosphorescent resentment from their body, reducing the movement and attack speed of units that touch it and inflicting a low-temperature burn effect."

A standard ghost-type spirit card.

The inventory in the mall is extremely limited, making it seem difficult to manufacture.

The downside of this thing is that its appearance is truly terrifying. It's a naked child with a bluish-gray body and burning hair, the kind that would fit right into a ghost movie.

After a moment's thought, Zhou Chen added it to the shortlist.

After selecting a few more spirit cards, he told the sales manager that he wanted to see the actual items, and the manager said that was possible.

Half an hour later, staff from Lingka Mall delivered the goods to my door.

Zhou Chen picked up the Azure Powder Child first and used the detection function to see its active skill—

【Blue Rinnegan (Unlocked)】

Launches a wide-area attack covered in flames, dealing powerful damage with both dark and fire attributes, and inflicting a slight burning effect upon hit.

Hmm? Not bad!

Zhou Chen then looked at the other spirit cards and felt that if Qing Lin Tong's appearance wasn't so bad, it would actually meet his requirements perfectly.

or……

give it a try?

Many spirit cards change their appearance when they are upgraded. When White Ape was one star, he was much more unkempt than he is now, with sparse hair and looking like he would fall over with a gust of wind.

The appearance becomes acceptable at the two-star level.

Zhou Chen glanced at the price; it was priced at 200,000 yuan per card, almost equivalent to a decent silver card.

"That's it!"

Without much hesitation, he decisively chose Qinglintong.

Since we're choosing this for the White Ape anyway, why worry too much about its appearance? Functionality is what matters!

After paying by card, the mall staff left with the remaining cards.

After the surroundings quieted down, Zhou Chen stood in his own courtyard and, under the curious gaze of Captain Changming, upgraded Qinglin Tong's star rating through the game panel.

As long as it's a card he holds, regardless of whether it has appeared in the game, he can use functions such as star-up, advancement, and team formation through the game panel.

He quickly fed Qinglintong enough "dog food" (a term for leveling up characters) to upgrade him to two stars and unlock his active skill. During this process, the card art changed—

The appearance of the Blue Phoenix Child changes from that of a four or five-year-old to that of a seven or eight-year-old child. His body seems to be filled with smoke and flames, and his facial features become somewhat blurred.

"Huh?"

Commandant Changming came over to take a look.

Zhou Chen casually said, "Don't attack it later, okay? It's a teammate."

"Huh?"

"You'll know when you get out."

He used the summoning device to summon Qinglintong.

Compared to the simple white ape, this character's entrance "animation" is slightly cooler. Several balls of indigo ghost fire first appear, then move around and collide with each other, gradually outlining the shape of a child.

In the blink of an eye, a sinister indigo-colored fire sprite appeared in front of Zhou Chen.

The rooster looked at it, its gaze suddenly shifting from calm to sharp. "Cluck!"

According to the information about the Changming Captain, this is a spirit beast that regards all evil spirits in the world as its enemies.

What are evil spirits?

It's roughly like the abnormal existence of Qinglintong.

Zhou Chen restrained the somewhat excited Captain Changming, "Brother Chicken, calm down! This is a teammate! A teammate!"

"Ah-"

Captain Changming flapped his wings twice, and seeing that he couldn't activate the team bullying mode, he had no choice but to fly up to the second floor in a huff.

Zhou Chen breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Qing Lintong again, carefully observed its appearance, and even reached out to touch it.

I didn't feel anything.

Is it because spirit cards don't harm card masters?

Compared to his creepy appearance at one star, Qinglin Tong's appearance is indeed much more pleasing to the eye after unlocking his active skill at two stars.

The little ghosts from those horror movies have transformed into anime-like elemental creatures.

The main reason is that the facial features are blurred and the skin is transparent.
