My Card Beast Taming Game

next moment.

*Whoosh!*

With its enormous black wings spread, the white ape charged forward, its speed so great that it transformed into a black line that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

[Shadowless Instant Strike]!

Lu Qingning's eyes widened slightly. Her superb dynamic vision and combat intuition prompted her to urge the Crimson Gold White Tiger to leap back and raise its claws.

Immediately, the shimmering wind and thunder blades appeared alongside the White Ape, slashing smoothly across the spot where the Crimson Gold White Tiger had been standing. "Whoosh!"

Seeing his sword strike miss its mark, the White Ape remained completely calm. He skillfully swung his sword, making swift and powerful consecutive swings, instantly creating several semi-transparent sword gusts that collided with the Crimson Gold White Tiger's fierce claw wind.

Clang clang!

Numerous Marses appeared in mid-air.

The brief exchange left a single word in the minds of both Zhou Chen and Lu Qingning—

"So fast!"

Lu Qingning's speed refers to the White Ape's moves.

As its name suggests, Shadowless Strike is incredibly fast when activated, delivering a powerful attack in an instant and possessing long-range capabilities.

A novice card player would likely be killed on their first encounter with this move.

fast.

In most cases, it can determine the outcome of a match.

Zhou Chen's speed refers to Lu Qingning's reaction speed.

While the attack path of this move is straightforward, so far none of the monkeys he has encountered in the secret realm have been able to block or dodge it.

As a result, Lu Qingning not only dodged the attack, but also anticipated the White Ape's next move and countered with the Tear-Through Claw.

Therefore, as they looked at each other, a similar thought flashed through their minds again.

That's pretty good!

Zhou Chen: "Sister Lu, your reaction is a bit quick."

Keep in mind that he's already at Lv.21+78%, with his spiritual energy extending to his collarbone. Lu Qingning's reaction...

It should be at least Lv.22 or higher, right?

When did she become a junior card master?

Zhou Chen suddenly realized that he had never asked Lu Qingning exactly how many months it took her to become a junior card master.

Lu Qingning waved, "Continue, you can't tell someone's strength just by looking at their moves."

She still spoke with an air of ease, but her body involuntarily tensed up, and her eyes became completely focused.

Zhou Chen remained silent, only silently unleashing the Wind and Thunder Escape technique.

"twitter!"

The white ape with flapping wings suddenly vanished without a trace. Lu Qingning looked around and said, "Is this the move you used to defeat Chu Guangzong?"

She suddenly turned and retreated, and the crimson-gold tiger roared deafeningly in the direction she was looking.

"Roar--!!"

The gale, carrying waves of air, rolled forward, outlining a blurred figure raising a long sword in the air.

Lu Qingning had actually discovered the invisible White Ape in advance.

But before she could say anything more, the white ape suddenly plunged his knife into the ground.

boom!!

Thunder roared, tearing through the air and spreading outwards in a hemispherical shape, forcefully expanding the sonic waves of the Tiger Roaring Through the Mountains and Forests, and erupting with a deafening explosion.

The scenario that Lu Qingning had imagined to cancel out did not occur. The lightning tore through the sound waves with a violent force and suddenly struck the Crimson Gold White Tiger.

"Roar……"

The crimson-gold white tiger let out a muffled roar of pain.

Lu Qingning was surprised: "Its power is that high?"

Zhou Chen remained silent and continued to urge the white ape to flap its wings and close the distance with the crimson-gold tiger. The tiger's might was more effective than he had imagined; he had originally thought he could at least cripple it.

After all, the stats of the Black-feathered White Ape King are top-tier even among silver cards. With the added stat boost from its exclusive weapon and the second strike of its passive skill, Infinite Strike, which deals 100% critical damage, its power is no less than a single strike from a Gold-tier Sword Ape General.

Unfortunately, Tiger's Might reduced its attack and attack speed.

This kind of sudden debuff is troublesome. Characters like White Ape, whose four skills are all aimed at movement and attack, cannot be immune to it.

The importance of support roles is evident!

"Roar!"

Seeing its opponent approach, the red-gold tiger, its fur charred in many places, roared and swung its claws. The claws struck the blade, producing a crisp metallic clang.

"twitter!"

The white ape swung its sword continuously, using the power of its wings to launch attacks from different directions—front, back, left, and right—its attacks were so fast and relentless.

Although he didn't hire a physical training coach, Zhou Chen practiced swordsmanship a lot in private. As a result, the White Ape King can now wield the sword with his feet, and with the help of his wings, he can fly up and down with agility. Every strike is powerful and heavy, causing the Crimson Gold White Tiger to retreat step by step.

The reason it was able to continue holding on was entirely due to Lu Qingning's combat awareness and reflexes, which allowed it to dodge many of the attacks.

"Not handing in skills?"

Lu Qingning had originally planned to retaliate when the white ape unleashed its skill, but she found that Zhou Chen was even more capable of holding back than she had imagined.

A test of endurance?

Before the war, Lu Qingning was definitely not afraid.

It's hard for her to say now.

The Crimson Gold White Tiger is already among the top-tier mutated cards in the Silver tier; otherwise, it wouldn't have been chosen by her.

But Zhou Chen's white ape seems to be even better than it...

It's clearly a silver card that was upgraded from a bronze card!

No wonder Lu Qingning was so surprised. If the Black Feather White Ape hadn't defied fate with the miniature Breath Soil, even with his exclusive weapon, he would only have reached the relatively good level of Silver rank.

Her disdain for the silver cards, which evolved from bronze cards, was not wrong.

Unfortunately, Lu Qingning was unaware of this.

Therefore, having had her common sense challenged, she is now slightly questioning the meaning of life.

However, she wouldn't give up so easily, at least not to Zhou Chen, a junior card master who had only recently been promoted.

"If you won't come, I will!"

Lu Qingning's eyes gleamed with a divine light, revealing a sign of heightened spiritual energy.

How could Zhou Chen back down?

He activated his spiritual boiling, which doubled the speed at which the White Ape swung his sword. When he saw the Crimson Gold White Tiger leap backward and inhale, his eyes flickered slightly.

Wind and Thunder Escape!

The black-feathered white ape flapped its wings and disappeared, but unexpectedly, the red-gold white tiger did not use its roar to roar through the mountains. Instead, its inhalation motion turned into waving its claws at the ground.

The claw-like wind tore through the earth, stirring up large clouds of dust, revealing the white ape's figure in its entirety.

"Gotcha again!"

Along with Lu Qingning's shout, the Crimson Gold White Tiger pounced forward, unleashing a terrifying sonic roar at close range!

It has to be said that Lu Qingning's quick reaction and change of tactics were truly remarkable.

But Zhou Chen's daily and nightly practice was not in vain.

When the Crimson Gold White Tiger approached first and unleashed its skill at an even faster speed, he instantly realized that the distance between them was too close, and a more effective attack than slamming the ground was—

[Shadowless Strike - Straight Thrust!]

The blade, a blend of sky and lightning attributes, tore through the air with a whistling sound, heading straight for the crimson-gold tiger's head!

That's right!

Accustomed to overwhelming opponents with sheer numbers, Zhou Chen showed no sign of backing down, even when faced with a Spirit Card far superior to the monkeys in the dungeon.

I'll avoid your sharp edge!

Chapter 114: The Loser Sister Lu (10/102)

"Is that enough?"

"enough."

Zhou Chen sat on the sofa, enjoying Qingmei's shoulder massage.

Lu Qingning secretly curled her lip in disdain, thinking to herself, "They gave me such a big chance, and this is all they got? What a coward!"

Little did Zhou Chen know that he was also secretly thinking that he wanted to make an even bigger wish, but he was afraid that the other party would not accept it.

The two had different intentions, but on the surface, their relationship seemed perfect.

no doubt.

The battle between the Black-feathered White Ape and the Crimson-Gold White Tiger ended with the former winning a complete victory.

Lu Qingning was surprised, but she didn't cheat because she couldn't accept defeat. She was just surprised by the strength of the Black-feathered White Ape.

"I've really broadened my horizons twice today."

Whether it was the initial 100-day training or the excessively intense Black-feathered White Ape, both of these experiences made her look at Zhou Chen with new respect.

With that thought in mind, Lu Qingning gently massaged his shoulders, and casually asked, "Is your relationship with your aunt still so strained?"

"……what?"

Zhou Chen opened his eyes alertly.

Lu Qingning lightly punched him in annoyance, "Can't I ask? My mom and your mom were college classmates and roommates, and best friends for many years!"

"It's not a matter of whether we're on the same page or not; it's that my life no longer needs her involvement." He waved his hand calmly.

Lu Qingning sighed at his indifferent attitude.

She knew neither much nor little about Zhou Chen's parents.

She only knew from her mother that Zhou Chen's mother came from a long-established family of card masters. Because she could not become a card master for a long time, she completely lost her mind and chose to leave the family and marry Zhou Chen's father.

Later, due to differences in ideology with Zhou Chen's father, they divorced. He returned to the family as an ordinary person, taking charge of managing the family's various enterprises and participating in administrative work.

Lu Qingning had initially thought that Zhou Chen's changes were more or less related to his mother, but now it seemed that was not the case.

But it's better not to get involved.

Lu Qingning had returned to the Shen family once. At that time, she still had expectations for her father's family. However, after truly witnessing the ugly faces of those people, she never wanted to be near the Shen family again.

To stay away from the Shen family, she deliberately chose Shendu Academy instead of Modu Academy.

This incident also angered the Shen family, but unfortunately, as long as her father didn't express his opinion, no matter how angry the people below were, it was useless.

Zhou Chen's mother doesn't have the same unshakeable position as her father; Zhou Chen would only suffer if she went there.

Lu Qingning was pondering, about to say something more, when she heard this sentence:

"Stop talking about me, what about you? Have you made up with Mei Xian yet?"

"more or less."

She responded casually.

Zhou Chen was puzzled. "If you make up, you make up; if you don't, you don't. What does 'more or less' mean?"

"...You know what? If it weren't for that sentence, I would have thought you'd been possessed today." Lu Qingning's grip suddenly tightened.

Zhou Chen often says things that are tactless and hurtful without warning, but she hadn't heard a thing all day, which was a bit strange.

In short, Lu Qingning and Mei Xian's relationship should have been completely repaired.

However, neither side sincerely apologized to the other, and both sides were prepared to treat the past conflicts as if nothing had happened, hence the "more or less" response.
