Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Companion Card
A bronze nine-star card fell into Luo Sheng's palm.
Clearly, it was a damaged card.
[ [War Shadow - Hecarim [Servant]]
Level: Bronze Nine Stars
Type: Undead Ghost
Skills: Path of Conquest: Hecarim gains an attack power bonus of 12%-24% based on his additional movement speed.
Rampage: Hecarim sweeps his long blade around, dealing armor-piercing damage to nearby enemies.
Spirit of Fear: Deals magic damage to all nearby enemies for 4 seconds, with 30% of the damage converted into Hecarim's health.
Devastation Charge: Hecarim transforms into a ghostly form, gaining 25% movement speed and increased physical damage.
Shadow Impact: Summons ghostly cavalry to charge forward, dealing massive damage to enemies, causing them to flee in fear.
Wild Charge: As a ghostly centaur, Hecarim is almost tireless, traveling at 160 km/h, and with
Devastation Charge, he can reach 200 km/h for 5 hours.
Overview: The arrogant and evil fallen knight, ultimately submitted to Bai Moxue, becoming a soulless killing machine. Death is his eternal fate.]
"Hmm???"
Luo Sheng stared at the card in surprise.
Then, he took out [Bai Moxue]. He noticed that below her skill list, a tenth skill had also appeared.
As shown:
War Shadow Summon: Summons the centaur fallen knight Hecarim to fight (Prerequisite: the card must be in the hands of a card master).
This card wasn't one of the League's so-called Odd Change Cards.
An Odd Change Card refers to one card being enhanced or shattered, causing a related card to also change. These cards are connected in some way.
But the card Luo Sheng held now seemed more like a Companion Card.
A card that only his card girl, Bai Moxue, could use, and this was not something recorded in textbooks.
"To be exact, this is the first new type of card I've created, one worthy of being recorded in history," Luo Sheng exclaimed with delight.
However, this card transformation didn't yield mysterious energy, perhaps due to the card's damaged quality.
Nevertheless, having a bronze nine-star card was already quite good, especially since it had originally been an exceptional-grade card.
"I wonder if having Bai Moxue summon it will consume a lot of mental energy?" Luo Sheng mused thoughtfully.
He was also hoping for more layers of synergy.
Using the least mental energy to activate the most cards would increase his chances of winning battles.
"Forget it, I'll focus on training my main battle cards," Luo Sheng decided.
The best investment was in the main battle cards, as well as himself.
His experience in the battle with Xia Xingri left a deep impression on him.
No matter how many cards one had, if the opponent had a trump card, they could still be crushed with no chance of retaliation.
Many card masters in the League liked to nurture one or two powerful hidden cards to crush their opponents.
Just then, a message popped up on his phone.
[Dear Luo Sheng, due to an emergency situation involving an interdimensional invasion, the academy has issued a call to arms. Please make sure to sign in at the designated location within 72 hours and await further instructions.
Defending Ping City is the duty of every card master. No one may leave without permission. Completing the task will reward you with a card drawing opportunity from the academy…]
It was a message from the academy.
"The academy's actions are slow; something happened last night, but they're only notifying us today."
Luo Sheng looked at the message, which had been sent an hour ago.
Because he had been in the card world, he lost track of time. The outside world had already brightened up, and it was now 9 AM.
The forum was still buzzing with activity.
[Maosangma: "Holy shit, I heard the ghost domain has become abnormally active. It's dangerous in there now. Dozens of card masters have died."
Guilai1: "Wasn't the city lord in charge of suppressing the interdimensional invasions?"
Lazyman幻想: "I heard there's an evil card master organization at work, reactivating the ghost domain. Their goal is to destroy Ping City."
NotVYourNotV: "Damn, is it still safe for us?"
Qingqing: "Latest news: Another new invading dimension has appeared near the ghost domain. Code name: Demon Realm."
Yin Xiu: "It's the end of the world!"]
The forum was full of pessimism.
After all, the card league had grown stronger over time, suppressing various interdimensional invasions, which had restored peace to the world.
But now, there was a sudden surge of invasions, and everyone felt uncertain about their own safety.
However, to Luo Sheng, this crisis equaled an opportunity. With two interdimensional invasions happening simultaneously, it meant there were many cards waiting for him to acquire.
Luo Sheng glanced at the rankings of card masters today.
1. Qin Jianjia, Bronze Nine Stars, 88%
2. Wang Ke'ai, Bronze Seven Stars, 67%
3. Xu Yourong, Bronze Seven Stars, 67%
4. Li Shiyu, Bronze Seven Stars, 63%
Luo Sheng noticed that even though his rank was rising quickly, he was still neck and neck with them.
"Forget it, I'll go grab some cards from the interdimensional realms first."
Luo Sheng had a hunch that he would meet Card Master Paulo again in the near future. When that time came, he would need to defeat him with his own strength to settle things and avoid danger.
Therefore, he needed more cards, to fuse, enhance, and create a powerful card system.
He dialed the phone and contacted the security guard from yesterday.
The guard answered quickly. "Mr. Luo? I'm so glad you're still alive. After last night, I was really worried something happened to you."
He spoke warmly.
Of course, they were probably worried their cards had been lost.
Luo Sheng informed him that the cards had been repaired.
"Thank you so much for fixing our cards overnight. But your health is more important. The cards can wait. We'll be waiting for you at the original banquet hall," the guard said.
Luo Sheng hung up the phone and left the room.
He found the apartment eerily quiet. No one was around.
Qin Jianjia should have already left. For a self-reliant genius like her, any crisis was also an opportunity.
Luo Sheng quickly drove his motorcycle to the banquet hall.
When he arrived, the banquet hall had returned to its pre-incident state, intact and undamaged.
Clearly, someone had used a card to repair it.
In the world of card masters, there were many functional cards, such as construction cards that could complete palace buildings within a day as long as the necessary materials were provided.
After a moment, the security guard came out to greet Luo Sheng.
However, his face didn't look too good, covered in scars and bandages smelling of disinfectant.
Luo Sheng gave him a quick glance. "Are you okay, security guard?"
The guard smiled faintly, speaking in a calm tone.
"Ha, my life's tough, but last night's events were so unexpected. Those creatures specifically targeted high-value goals, and us small-time guards were ignored. Otherwise, you wouldn't be seeing me today."
"Targeted high-value goals?"
Luo Sheng pondered.
He seemed to have noticed something strange. These interdimensional invaders weren't behaving like ordinary predatory creatures.
Usually, these invaders would attack humans on sight or destroy cards aimlessly, with no clear objective other than simple destruction.
Seeing Luo Sheng's confusion, the guard then revealed a shocking secret: "Because the creatures in the ghost domain have gained consciousness!"
