"You still got that 'He Guang Tong Chen' defense on your body hor… then I tap five Cultivation Cards horizontally, use 'Electric Crossbow Magnetic String'."
Wang Qi thought very hard, then he attack Su Junyu.
He Guang Tong Chen, is one of the magic from Heaven Song Walk derivative spell. It use the mysterious electromagnetic field to interfere with enemy's spell. So like, if got spell come near, it will become just mana blob, so can use to defense lah. In Wuding Cards, rarity is five.
Electric Crossbow Magnetic String, is a spell from Benlei Pavilion. It use electricity as crossbow, magnetic field as string, and then shoot out metal thing—on Earth people call it railgun. This spell card rarity is three only, but it do "mechanical damage", so can ignore He Guang Tong Chen de effect.
Su Junyu smile: "As I expected! I wait for this long time already. Use Vector Control!"
The Vector Control is very old spell's descendant, originally some martial art for dodging arrows la. But those crazy researcher from Wanfa Sect keep study until it become something like… almost Dao liao. This "arrow" not mean real arrow or even all thrown weapon, it mean "vector" leh! You dare believe?
Card rarity is eight, but actual value between seven to nine, depend on player's math and imagination skill.
Su Junyu activate the first effect of Vector Control: reflect mechanical damage. Wang Qi watch as five life flames in front of him go pfft one by one, then his mouth twitch.
Really lor… Railgun still cannot win against Vector Change meh?
"I say… you use an eight-level card to counter my three-level card… like this won't waste meh?"
Su Junyu laugh until face bright like sunshine: "Rich, so what? Can be reckless!"
Wang Qi look at Su Junyu's spell area. Except for the long-term spell He Guang Tong Chen, there is also one special Cultivation Card called Universal Calculus. This one rarity seven, but actually no effect. It just the requirement for activating many Wanfa Sect's weird spells. Su Junyu already used it for his level seven Spacetime Swim, level eight Vector Control, and even level nine Light Fix the Universe...
Wang Qi's forehead got blue vein pop up. He slam all his hand cards on the table: "Don't want play already! Your deck full of rare cards, totally no balance one!"
Su Junyu look down at him: "You talk like if we switch deck you can win leh."
"…Although I really dunwan admit…"
Actually, Su Junyu's cultivation method White Marsh Calculus is like tailor-made for playing card game. Ahem, at least Wang Qi never see this guy use that power—which has effective weight value seven—for anything except card game. Under that method's buff, Su Junyu can use basic pack to bully rare card.
Because Lecturer Xiong go outside to undergo tribulation, this morning last class switch from Basic Flying Sword Theory to Intro to Yuanli—basically, is just Physics lor. From high school to Year One college level. For Wang Qi, this class is same as Sleep Spell.
Finally until lunchtime, Wang Qi quickly rush to canteen, finish his meal, then go Xian Academy's storage hall, find Su Junyu play a few rounds of cards. Also can listen him bluff and gossip, learn about some small news in cultivation world.
And also, Wang Qi not really go there to get abused. He now already start learning Yao Deterministic Scripture, and managed to make some Yin-Yang Nodes in his meridians, so calculation power big upgrade liao. Doing a lot of calculation, also is one kind of practice for that scripture.
Technically, playing chess or Go is better for training that scripture. But Wang Qi find no one play with him. That's why his friendship with Su Junyu become deeper lor.
"Oh ya Su bro, I heard nowadays modern cultivator do tribulation very easy is it?" Wang Qi remember this morning incident, ask him.
Su Junyu packing his cards, reply casually: "It depend what kind of tribulation la. You old style one how you pass tribulation?"
"Breakthrough to Golden Core have one lightning tribulation, then to Nascent Soul got another one, then again at Spirit Split and then Fusion Stage."
"Modern cultivation not like that already. Modern path, when break golden core to form Yuan Shen got one tribulation, then when Yuan Shen complete and enter Real-Virtual Transformation got one more. This two you just use Lightning Prison Spell can pass. But, Nirvana Stage is different. Nirvana Tribulation got different number, type, and strength. Everyone not same one. Inside that tribulation, nobody can help you."
Wang Qi curious: "Why leh?"
Su Junyu put cards into his deckbox: "You know the principle of lightning tribulation or not?"
Wang Qi shake his head.
"One cultivator is like one mana field. 'Field' concept I no need explain liao hor? The idea is, strong mana field will interfere the natural flow of spirit energy. This system always try balance itself. When balance break, system will auto adjust to new balance. Nirvana Tribulation is more complicated, need high-level knowledge to understand. I don't want explain."
You is don't know yourself lah. Wang Qi complain silently.
After he done keeping his deck, Su Junyu look at Wang Qi: "Eh, you know who tribulation today?"
"Xiong Mo."
Su Junyu shocked: "Xiong Mo? The Bear Uncle from Spirit Beast Peak?"
"Yah, a beast master from Spirit Beast Peak come teach Liuyun Sect theory class, weird or not? Eh, Su bro, your face look weird leh."
"Hahahaha, Uncle Bear very all-round one, actually he also know about Yang God Pavilion and Burning Gold Valley power de hahahaha…"
Got problem here. Wang Qi more sure about his guess now: "Don't tell me that creepy uncle like young boys one?"
Su Junyu: "Where you get that idea from?"
"From your weird face expression lor." Wang Qi pat his shoulder. "If he got such… ehem ehem, 'unspoken rule', not your fault lah."
Su Junyu nearly spit: "Tsk! I just worry my mental health value only ok?"
Mental health value, just like that Lu Renjia Weighted Formula, is created by Bai Ze Divine Lord. It's to measure mental state. But because human mind too complicated liao, unlike Weighted Formula, this value never become everyday tool. Most people just use it as a joke.
Wang Qi stroke his chin: "Then since he not that kind of pervert, why you react so strongly?"
Su Junyu shake his head: "Disgusting la… you want know, go check yourself, use WanxianNet. But I warn you ah—blindness alert!"
So serious meh?
With curiosity about this newly promoted Refined Void Stage beast master, Wang Qi leave the storehouse.
Xian Academy got around 1,000 students in each batch. The previous batch won't go to their sects until June, so the afternoon practical lesson is 2,000 people together. These 2,000 split into 24 groups, each group got 3 Foundation Establishment cultivators as guide.
Wang Qi's group is elite group from this batch. Other than him, there are nine others already in Qi Refining Stage. Six of them break through using modern method, three found ancient inheritance.
Right now, this group of eighty-ninety people is practicing Basic Sword Technique Three, under one blue-robed Foundation Cultivator's watch.
Talk about these sword and fist techniques learned these days, Wang Qi feel like… really no mood complain anymore. Basic Sword Technique One, Basic Sword Technique Two, Basic Sword Technique Three, Basic Sword Technique Four… Even fist also Basic Fist One, Basic Fist Two… like the guy naming these really lazy to think right?
But Zhenchanzi saw these sword moves and keep praising: "You don't know one, the name sound simple but these techniques include all possible sword actions. Every move also train your muscles, bones, meridians together. Fist too. This is big foundation for learning advanced sword skill later!"
Zhenchanzi's own cultivation experience cannot use anymore, but his judgement still reliable… probably. So Wang Qi also work hard on these super boring-named techniques.
But when he practice sword, got one big problem. His internal cultivation methods still conflict. So when sword moves stir up mana, it's like trigger inner chaos. Like always one step away from going inner fire demon mode. So he always need split his focus to control inside chaos.
This kind of problem, of course cannot hide from those Foundation Establishment instructors. That blue-robed instructor suddenly call his name: "Wang Qi, come out."
