Chapter 107: 107 Guiqing’s card is very similar to the world of Zero Egg_1
With the five Card Spirits of the Guiqing Association cleanly eliminated, the training ground fell deathly silent.
The members of the Guiqing Association looked around in a daze, hardly understanding what kind of match they had just played.
Chen Yunbai’s Card Spirit was the last to perish; he almost had enough mental energy left to think.
After all, assassin-type Card Spirits were not easy to catch, so it was quite normal for his to be the last one remaining.
They had not only experienced the defensive power of Changer in her unascended state but had also faced the four states of Mo Liqing.
The members of the Mount Flower Association were ecstatic. Many matches in the arena usually dragged on for a long time, and today’s had ended relatively quickly.
It was a victory achieved by completely wiping out the opponent’s Card Spirits.
The greatest credit undoubtedly went to Wen Jiang’s Changer, which avoided fatal damage three times. Such control was almost impossible for anyone else to achieve.
Next was Mo Liqing, with its four unpredictable states and its overwhelmingly buggy wave ability.
Once the giant wave crashed over, if a Card Spirit couldn’t fly, it was doomed to be controlled and eventually have its life force drained by the red cotton.
Tang Qian walked over with a smile and extended her hand to the ashen-faced Coach Guiqing. "Coach Wei, it’s just a training match. Thank you for going easy on us."
At Tang Qian’s words, Coach Guiqing snapped back to reality, but before he could finish, Chen Yunbai interjected, clearly dissatisfied, "We just randomly played some cards, and you all directly used your trump card? That Mo Liqing, it must be the best A-Rank Card your association has, right?"
Its four states are even more terrifying than Changer and Hou Yi.
What he said was actually true. Their overconfidence in Hou Yi’s abilities had indeed led to their downfall.
Otherwise, a normal team wouldn’t use two Card Spirits to protect Hou Yi.
Their only Control Card was completely suppressed by Mo Liqing. Once the wave was unleashed, its control effects were completely nullified, essentially rendering a Spirit Card Master useless. With Mo Liqing around, that Control Card would likely never see play again.
What’s more, they had no idea that the Card Maker of the Hou Yi Card was right there. She knew Hou Yi far too well. The state after Changer’s ascension was heaven-defying, but many overlooked the defense of its pre-ascension state. In reality, this defensive capability was on par with powerhouses like Mo Liqing and Hou Yi. How could it possibly be weak? Even if it couldn’t completely block Hou Yi’s single-target output, it could still block, on average, half the damage, preventing a situation where Changer couldn’t stop one of Hou Yi’s arrows.
If Changer couldn’t block it, that meant the Spirit Card Master wasn’t skilled enough—there was no other explanation.
It’s just that during their card experiments, they had probably always grouped Hou Yi and Changer together, and few had considered using Changer to absorb Hou Yi’s damage. Obviously, the Guiqing Association hadn’t thought of this.
Tang Qian just smiled and said nothing.
Coach Guiqing, however, noticed similar traits in the cards’ abilities and darkly suggested, "This Mo Liqing of yours, couldn’t have been made by the Card Maker of Jade Rabbit Pestle Medicine, could it?"
Such a multi-state ability is too familiar. Currently, aside from that Card Maker, no one else has made anything similar.
Tang Qian naturally wouldn’t reveal such secrets and simply replied with a smile, "I look forward to the next training match."
Coach Guiqing’s face turned green.
Looking forward to hell.
At the same time, he subtly glanced at Wen Jiang.
After one match, anyone with a bit of judgment could tell that there was something very odd about Wen Jiang.
Using the Changer Card to absorb damage from Hou Yi – always timing it perfectly to maximize defense – was absurd because Changer was a group defense Card Spirit. For her to absorb so much damage from Hou Yi was outrageous.
With such control and spiritual power, this Wen Jiang is definitely not your average newbie.
Coach Guiqing knew better than anyone that while the strength of Card Spirits is one thing, encountering a formidable Spirit Card Master is the real nightmare on the field.
He glanced at Wen Jiang subtly. Wen Jiang seemed to sense his scrutiny and hooked the corner of her lips into a smile, seemingly indifferent to Coach Guiqing’s evaluative gaze.
The moment their eyes met, Coach Guiqing quickly averted his.
After all, this loss was too embarrassing. They had to review the battle when they got back, and seeing his team’s dejected faces, Coach Guiqing couldn’t help but say brusquely, "Let’s go."
They had lost, and they had lost badly. There were mistakes in their card evaluation, but it also involved arrogance from both himself and his players.
With so many reasons piling up, Coach Guiqing naturally wasn’t in a good mood.
As they walked past the Mount Flower Association members, Chen Runyu offered a rare smile. "Cousin, it’s clear you’ve been training hard lately. You’re quite strong."
This sarcastic remark instantly infuriated Chen Yunbai.
He turned to face Chen Runyu and said fiercely, "Is that all the skill you have? New cards and strong teammates—do you think any of this is thanks to you?"
In truth, he was talking nonsense. No matter what, the first time he had tried to cut down the Dandelion, it was Chen Runyu who had timely maneuvered Mo Liqing to block his attack.
Chen Runyu wasn’t angered. He knew Chen Yunbai must be furious about the loss, especially since it was to him, someone Chen Yunbai had always looked down upon.
With a smile, Chen Runyu said something even more provocative, "That’s right, Cousin. And I have myself to thank for finding such good teammates."
Chen Yunbai: "..."
In other words, isn’t he just saying my teammates are trash?
Whether Chen Yunbai interpreted it maliciously or not, Chen Runyu’s attempt to sow discord hadn’t quite hit the mark; instead, it had thoroughly stoked the Guiqing members’ animosity towards him.
But animosity was just animosity; losing the training match was a fact.
Once the Guiqing members left, the Mount Flower Association also boarded their vehicle. Tang Qian said immediately, "Guiqing won’t reveal the new card’s details to outsiders, but internally, they will definitely analyze the Mo Liqing card thoroughly."
Having displayed all four states during the match, a simple analysis could reveal a lot.
However, no one was in a rush. After returning, they would probably review the match to see if there were any careless mistakes.
Ever since boarding the vehicle, Wen Jiang had been quiet, mostly because Zero Egg had diverted her attention.
It was because Zero Egg had said something after the match ended.
"The style of the Guiqing Card Group seems very familiar."
Ordinary cards wouldn’t make Zero Egg feel a sense of familiarity. If it did, the card surely had something to do with its own world.
Wen Jiang was instantly curious. "Could it be from your world?"
After all, with the Heaven’s Mandate System having come to this world, Wen Jiang wouldn’t be surprised to encounter a card potentially from another universe anywhere.
Zero Egg replied, "I’m not sure. I’m only familiar with the style of that card. After I was created, I immediately set off on my mission, so I didn’t have time to familiarize myself well with my own world. As for the Card Group I came with, if you don’t draw from it, I wouldn’t even know what cards are inside."
But Zero Egg was a System, after all. It added, "It feels very similar. Both that Control Card and that Assassin Card give me a rather—sinister feeling."
Wen Jiang was the type to ask questions when she had them. She had Zero Egg search for old information about Guiqing while she approached Tang Qian, who was still contemplating their recent battle, and asked out of the blue, "Coach, in the past, did Guiqing become famous for their cards or for their players?"
