My Card Beast Taming Game

But how could he have imagined that Zhou Chen, who had fought his way through the city qualifiers, had managed to hide one skill until the very end?

"If it remains silent, it will be for nothing; but when it does, it will be a sensation."

Zhou Chen stared at the vortex of wind spirits in mid-air, while the white ape below, though not in his sight, still moved on its own.

This immediately attracted the attention of the audience.

"Mental synchronization!?"

"Has this kid already touched the edge of the beginner level?"

"Not necessarily! Some exceptionally gifted individuals exhibit occasional instances of mental synchronization during their apprenticeship!"

The crowd was noisy, but the talking soon stopped abruptly.

It was only because the White Ape King had disappeared.

It was as if Zhou Chen had released it from his summons; it vanished like a gentle breeze, leaving no trace in the air.

The audience fell silent for a moment, then erupted into a deafening roar.

Chu Guangzong, who had remained calm from the start, was also stunned. He subconsciously thought that Zhou Chen had taken back the White Ape, but when he saw that the other party was staring at the Wind Soul Vortex in mid-air from beginning to end, an ominous premonition surged into his heart.

"not good--"

His mind stirred slightly, and the vortex of wind souls moved along with it.

But even faster than those two was the White Ape, who suddenly appeared at a higher position, turned around, and wielded a lightning-fast blade.

Crack!

A thunderclap out of nowhere!

The blinding flashes forced many spectators to raise their hands to shield their eyes, while many more card players stared at the situation inside the arena with unreadable eyes.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the vortex of wind spirits in mid-air was split in two from top to bottom, and exploded with a bang the moment the white ape landed lightly, completely dissipating into the air.

Beep!

The referee habitually blows the whistle.

Chapter 79: Thunder Blade Wins the Championship

Wow!

The audience suddenly erupted in noise.

Less than three minutes into the game, Chu Guangzong lost a life without even a chance to make a trade.

What just happened?

"Skills? Flight? Teleportation? Invisibility?"

"It's definitely a skill, no doubt about it. It takes real patience to hold back until now."

"Chu Guangzong is going to be in trouble. Originally, the White Ape only had physical attacks, but now it has lightning attributes and can get close to it."

The audience was bustling with activity; some were utterly shocked, some were gloating, and others were discussing the White Ape's specific skill set with those around them.

Bronze-tier spirit cards have a total of two skills, one active and one passive.

Which one is this displacement capability?

No one knows.

Before obtaining the White Ape card, everyone could only speculate or hope that Zhou Chen would voluntarily disclose its information.

Chu Guangzong fell silent. Zhou Chen's move had indeed caught him off guard. The key was that in such a short time, he had no way of judging the opponent's skill form.

Based on the time when the White Ape disappeared, it is highly likely that he became invisible, but it is uncertain whether it was through physical displacement or special displacement.

What is physical displacement?

As the name suggests, displacement is achieved by the movement of the body itself.

Special displacements include teleportation, elemental transfer, spatial teleportation, and so on.

He had to figure out what was going on with White Ape's displacement, otherwise, relying solely on the defensive capabilities of Wind Soul Vortex, it would be difficult to deal with this high-damage, high-agility, dash assassin-type spirit card.

"You're really something."

Chu Guangzong had to admit that he had underestimated Zhou Chen.

He quickly created distance between them and inserted a bronze card, different from the Wind Soul Vortex, into the card summoning device. "Try this one instead!"

Click!

A bright blue ice crystal condensed behind him, quickly forming a sharply defined, icy blue humanoid figure.

The moment the new card appeared, the noise in the stands suddenly subsided, and everyone began to watch the match intently.

A name flashed through Zhou Chen's mind—

【Ice Crystal Monster】.

It belongs to the same elemental creatures as the Wind Soul Vortex and is classified as an ultra-rare card.

Although its attack and speed are far inferior to Wind Soul Vortex, its active skill creates a large area of ​​ice crystals around itself, which slows down and gradually freezes anything that enters the area.

It is not very friendly to melee-type spirit cards.

Additionally, once the Ice Crystal Monster has a broken or detached part, its passive skill will turn the detached part into a clone, which can inherit about 50% of the original's strength.

"hiss--"

He took a deep breath.

Breaking the Ice Crystal Monster's passive ability is simple: pure elemental creatures often have a core inside their bodies. Once the core is destroyed, it will not be able to trigger its passive ability.

The core position is...

Zhou Chen's gaze swept over the ice crystal monster, finally settling on its neck.

His previous encounter with the Green Crow Demon had taught him a lesson about the lack of information, so he had thoroughly researched every single spirit card that Chu Guangzong had used.

If he couldn't find it online or it wasn't mentioned in group sharing materials, he would ask in various large groups.

If he couldn't get the answer from them, he asked Ding Yinan, Mei Xian, Xing Keji, and the general manager of the card mall who had previously added him as a friend. Zhou Chen asked them all.

Therefore, as long as Chu Guangzong doesn't change his card, he will still have the advantage in terms of information gap!

Fortunately, the other party did not change the card.

Wind Soul Vortex and Ice Crystal Monster are both old cards of Chu Guangzong, and he has won the Yu Zhong Cup time and time again with them.

Having confirmed the location of the core, Zhou Chen no longer hesitated.

Considering that the opponent also has active skills that slow down and freeze, it would be a waste to fight a prolonged battle with it.

Since that's the case—

One strike decides the outcome!

A divine light shone in his eyes, and Chu Guangzong, who was aware of it, was taken aback.

"Excited?"

next moment.

The white ape that had charged forward disappeared from the spot.

Without hesitation, Chu Guangzong activated [Ice Field]. In an instant, a faint blue light emanated from the surface of the ice crystal monster, forming countless finger-sized ice crystals in the air, swirling around like snowflakes.

The area was roughly five meters in size, centered on the ice crystal monster, and his eyes shone with a divine light that indicated a surge of spiritual energy.

Although he has never been able to condense his spirit into qi over the years, he has managed to master some weakened versions of the basic card master techniques.

The most direct effect of [Spiritual Boiling] is to greatly enhance the connection between the card master and the spirit card in the short term, thereby increasing its attack power, reaction speed and hit rate, which is equivalent to the card master giving the spirit card a small burst buff.

Chu Guangzong was reluctant to waste his time on the Ice Crystal Monster, but Zhou Chen had already used it, and if he didn't use it, he might not even have a chance to exchange for the Wind Soul Vortex.

He silently calculated the time in his mind.

two seconds.

three seconds.

……

Five seconds.

When the count reached the fifth second, the White Ape appeared.

To the surprise of Chu Guangzong and many spectators, the location was once again in mid-air.

It held its long sword, crackling with lightning, high, aiming directly at the head of the ice crystal monster. The ice crystals applied to its body did nothing to affect its descent.

"They rely on gravity to prevent the speed from decreasing!"

Chu Guangzong grinned, and at the same time, the Ice Crystal Monster raised its arms to block above its head, and countless finger-sized ice spikes shot towards the falling White Ape!

Puff puff--

The flying ice spikes instantly pierced the white ape's body, causing blood to splatter and turn the area crimson, but they did not cause it a fatal wound.

Chu Guangzong keenly noticed that his opponent had deliberately avoided the ice spikes aimed at his vital points.

hide!!!

His heart screamed, and the long sword, crackling with electricity, struck down like lightning, a blinding flash erupting across the field.

After a brief breath, the light dimmed, revealing the white ape covered in blood and with its feet frozen by ice crystals, while the ice crystal monster stood motionless in the opposite direction.

A strong sense of panic prompted Chu Guangzong to try pulling out the card.

"No! It's not over yet!"

The words fell.

Fine lines, steady and discernible, appeared on the solid ice surface that was strong enough to withstand the impact of the Great Luck. Then, the upper body of the Ice Crystal Monster—from half of its head to its waist—separated very smoothly from its lower body.

Inside, a striking ice-blue sphere stands out.

The card successfully exited the card-calling device, but those with sharp eyes could see the cracks on its surface.

The thrill of forcibly removing a card when a creature breaks surged into Chu Guangzong's mind, mixed with his resentment at missing the championship.

He can concede this championship, but he cannot allow it to be unilaterally crushed and taken away.

After all, for Chu Guangzong, who had been unable to advance to the level of a junior card master for a long time, this honor was the only one he could boast about.

Only winning the Yuzhong Cup could allow him to ignore the ridicule and mockery around him, providing him with a refuge for self-comfort. But now, Zhou Chen has taken it away so easily.

The negative emotions accumulated through days and nights of meditation, coupled with the pressure of his inability to advance, erupted completely at this moment. Chu Guangzong's skin flushed red, the redness spreading to his eyes, and he roared furiously, "I—"

"Dude! You're furious!"

Before he could finish shouting, Zhou Chen pointed to the top of his head and loudly reminded him, "Sit down and meditate! Don't let it dissipate!"

Chu Guangzong's flushed face turned white at a visible speed, and he froze on the spot. Then he quickly looked up and saw a wisp of light gray smoke drifting from above.

This is a sign that spiritual power has transformed from nothingness into qi.

He was stunned, and the entire audience was moved.
