My Card Beast Taming Game

Something's not right!

The opponent frowned. "How did you react so quickly?"

He could understand the high damage and high burst of the White Ape, but the reaction speed of low-level spirit cards was basically linked to the card master himself.

Zhou Chen's reaction was a bit too fast.

He twice tried to have his Shadow Python entangle the White Ape's body to limit its power, but both times it dodged his attack.

This shouldn't be the case normally.

"..."

Zhou Chen did not reply.

He couldn't very well tell the other person that he had just barely made it to the junior level yesterday, could he?

In cultivation terms, he is currently at the half-step Silver level, just one step away from the true beginner level.

Having failed to engulf the opponent twice, the Shadow Python's movements became noticeably slower.

it's time!

With a slight thought, the White Ape King drew his sword and retreated, quickly creating three or four body lengths as if he were no match for the Shadow Python.

Upon seeing this, the opponent's eyes lit up, sensing that an opportunity was at hand.

"hiss!"

The Shadow Python raised its upper body, and its deep purple venom poured down on the White Ape like a waterfall, the pungent and foul odor seemingly capable of corroding even the air!

However, this was exactly the move Zhou Chen was waiting for. The moment the white ape opened its stance, it suddenly lunged forward from the side, its blade swirling around it like a bright crescent moon.

A charged attack—

Turning Slash!

In the blink of an eye, the White Ape had arrived behind the Shadow Python, bypassing the main area affected by the venom spray. Only a few drops of venom hit its forearm and right calf, causing wisps of blue smoke to rise.

The Shadow Python stiffened slightly, and after a brief breath, its head and torso, about three inches long, smoothly separated from the latter half of its body.

"hiss!"

The Shadow Python, now split in two, struggled frantically, its hard and massive body kicking up clouds of dust.

Having succeeded, the White Ape King had already retreated, quietly waiting with Zhou Chen for the Shadow Python to die, showing no intention of finishing it off.

After a few breaths, the Shadow Python turned into wisps of green smoke and dissipated.

"Depend on!"

The opponent cursed.

He then looked at the white ape who had raised his sword to block his body. If he wasn't mistaken, a few drops of venom should have hit him.

—If it hits, the card creature has a chance to be poisoned!

This small hope remained unfulfilled, and the White Ape remained perfectly normal.

Bad luck!

The opponent cursed under his breath again.

He quickly pulled back to create distance and summoned the spirit card again.

The white ape moved at will, and the longsword engraved with electric patterns gleamed slightly. It shot out like a streak of light, heading straight for the face of the Shadow Python in the blink of an eye.

The opponent was shocked, but did not allow the Shadow Python to dodge. The battle was about ambushes and counter-ambushes, and the enemy's attack was also part of the opportunity!

"Sha!!"

As the Shadow Python arched its back, a torrent of venom sprayed down on the White Ape.

This time, however, the White Ape did not dodge.

bass!

A flash of light!

The mud-like grayish-white venom instantly split in two, along with the Shadow Python's body, which was also severed vertically.

The opponent's face was extremely ugly, and he placed his hand on the card call device, unsure whether to cancel the exchange.

In reality, it's meaningless.

Zhou Chen's team was far superior to him in both spiritual cards and reaction speed, with a win rate of less than 10%, or even 10% being a bit too high.

"Yes, yes, I gave it to you!"

He cursed under his breath and stopped struggling in vain.

He found it shameful.

beep—

The whistle blew, and Zhou Chen's semi-final match came to a successful end.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief and looked towards the exit of the passage, where Chu Guangzong and another semi-finalist were waiting to enter the competition.

They were just one step away from winning.

Let's finish this quickly!

Zhou Chen couldn't wait to celebrate his victory, his first win in the Card Master Competition Open Tournament.

Although there were quite a few troubles along the way, it was still very interesting overall.

Especially in terms of broadening one's horizons.

Furthermore, the monotonous grind of dungeons occasionally needs a little something to break the monotony.

Chapter 78: The Trump Card Revealed

The match between Chu Guangzong and his other opponent was also a foregone conclusion.

His strength is also groundbreaking; his spiritual cards and reactions far surpass those of other card masters of the same level, and his control techniques are extraordinary.

"Also at level nineteen?"

Zhou Chen wasn't sure if his current performance represented his opponent's limit.

The spirit card used by Chu Guangzong is called [Wind Soul Vortex], which is an elemental creature rarely seen in the various Xia regions, and is naturally a mutated card.

According to intelligence data and Zhou Chen's observations, it not only possesses the physical damage reduction characteristics of a ghost, but is also a ranged attack flying type, similar to Qinglin Tong but with a much faster movement speed and the ability to fly at high altitudes.

With high attack, high speed, damage reduction, and ranged attacks, Chu Guangzong has maximized the advantages that Bronze-rank players can have. No wonder he has won the Yu Zhong Cup championship time and time again. Even the only time he lost was because he directly forfeited the match.

Zhou Chen blinked. "Invincible at the Bronze Rank?"

He's been running high-level dungeons for almost a month, longer than he's spent running beginner and intermediate dungeons combined. White Ape has also progressed from initially only being able to fight silver-tier monsters to now being able to duel with full-strength silver-tier monsters, and even occasionally defeating them.

It's time to test its quality!

Time quickly came to the afternoon's final match.

To ensure he remained undisturbed by external factors, he even skipped lunch and spent the entire preparation room meditating and waiting.

at last.

"Zhou Chen! Time's almost up!"

The call from outside the door made Zhou Chen open his eyes. The mental energy boiling from meditation made his eyes exceptionally bright, which startled the staff member who pushed the door open and entered.

it's time!

He strode forward and soon arrived at the sunlit arena via the players' tunnel.

The afternoon temperature was extremely high, but it couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of the audience.

"come on! Come on!"

"Go Zhou Chen! Win the championship! I bet on you to win!"

"Senior Chu is invincible!!"

The shouts were like waves. Chu Guangzong, as a champion for many consecutive years, even had a special support group, who were dressed in uniform.

Are they from Yuzhou Academy?

Zhou Chen squinted, his gaze sweeping over the other seats in the audience.

As the final of the Yuzhong Cup Bronze Division, it attracted a great deal of attention, with representatives from various universities, high-ranking officials from local associations, and members of prominent families all in attendance.

Some people online say that the Yuzhong Cup is one of the ways the Yuzhou Association checks out new talents every year, because nearly 90% of the trainee card masters who can advance from the city qualifiers can become junior card masters before the age of 25.

Some people were even promoted after participating, while others participated in five consecutive sessions and remained in the trainee position.

For example, Emperor Guangzong of Chu.

Zhou Chen turned his gaze to the opposite side, where his opponent in the final had been waiting for a long time.

The two met eyes, both expressionless.

The referee, standing in the middle, raised his flag and shouted, "On your marks—get set—"

"start!"

The flag was lowered.

The two summoned their spirit cards immediately.

Under the watchful eyes of thousands of spectators, a slender, snow-white broadsword suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Chen. Immediately afterward, a withered hand suddenly grasped it from the void, and the figure of the White Ape King gradually appeared from his arm.

It gripped the massive sword, which was as long as its body, with both hands, and twirled the blade with ease.

In contrast, there was a twisted humanoid shape formed by the convergence and entanglement of countless milky white streams, which was more than two meters tall.

"Wind Soul Vortex..."

Zhou Chen took a deep breath. If this guy wasn't hiding his trump card, he would probably also find him difficult to beat.

Summon them and war begins.

The white ape charged forward, but instead of flying directly into the sky, the Wind Soul Vortex raised its arms in the form of a tornado.

call!

A gale, barely visible to the naked eye, howled in!

Compared to the wind blades of the Wind-Patterned Crane during the multi-player elimination round, the wind blades of the Wind Soul Vortex are not only more numerous and faster, but their shape is also closer to thin lines, forming an impenetrable net.

Without a doubt, this is the active skill of Wind Soul Vortex—

【Wind Network】.

Why is he so straightforward in his approach?

Zhou Chen raised an eyebrow, and the White Ape King swiftly raised his sword to block, his charged attack colliding with the wind net that had traversed more than ten meters in the blink of an eye.

Dangdang!

The crisp sounds of impact rang out one after another, mixed with the constant bursts of sparks, like a magnificent but short-lived performance.

In the blink of an eye, the enormous wind net composed of countless fine wind blades was perfectly blocked by the White Ape's skillful swordsmanship. His swordsmanship, honed through continuous practice and combat, was displayed to its fullest extent at this moment.

A collective gasp rippled through the audience.

"So fast!"

"His technique was good too; he caught them all."

In just one encounter, the White Ape King conquered many people with his concealed blade.

Chu Guangzong nodded slightly, "Not bad."

The purpose of the Wind Net is to find out if Zhou Chen is qualified to fight him. If even Bai Yuangong can't withstand the Wind Net, then there's no need to take it too seriously.

The result was quite satisfactory; no wonder he was able to overcome all obstacles and reach him.

Since that's the case, let's be a little more serious.

Chu Guangzong stepped back slightly, gaining a wider field of vision, while the Wind Soul Vortex shot into the sky like an arrow.

The effective range of the wind blade is close to ten meters. Given that the White Ape has no ability to fly and cannot jump ten meters high, this short distance of ten meters is almost as far as the abyss.

Chu Guangzong's arrogance was not without reason.
