Card Master Guide

"Daifuku, use the blow on the belly of the leopard."

Beside the swimming pool on the top floor of the villa, Lin Xiao instructed Dafu to use the profound meaning he had just learned.

"Ow!"

The chubby little white seal stared intently, lying on its back with its belly turned upside down, its two flippers slapping its abdomen.

The fat in the abdomen trembled, arousing the shock of the air flow, which made the water surface of the entire swimming pool start to surge.

The water in the swimming pool set off a huge wave, and the wave flew several meters, and fell back into the swimming pool with a loud bang, splashing water all over the sky.

Crash!

The water splashed on Lin Xiao's face, soaking his black hair.

He wiped his face, gave a thumbs up to Dafu who was looking eagerly, and said calmly:

"Yes, the effect is remarkable."

"Oh! (*σ`)σ" Daifuku happily patted his belly.

As I said before, Daifuku's skill painting style is completely different from Meteor Sword.

But this is the characteristic of Daifuku.

After the upgrade of Daifuku and other ranks, the European-style buff provided is more significant, which indirectly improves the overall combat power.

Lin Xiao pondered.

I don't know which monster has such good luck.

I am honored to be the treasure of Emperor Wa, the first distinguished guest in the "Shanhe Sheji Map".

*

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Xiao received a message from Chu Yun, stating that the investigation had the latest progress.

He hurried to the investigation team in Shanghai, and greeted Chu Yun who was sitting at the desk.

Chu Yun nodded, and reported the recent suspicious movements, saying:

"Recently, there have been several cases of fallen card masters in the audition area of ​​Central Continent."

"Fallen Card Master got involved in the World Series?" Lin Xiao asked.

"No... To be precise, it's some of the losers who suddenly went mad like they lost their minds. The specific performance is that their eyes are red and their strength doubles, as if they were taken advantage of by evil spirits."

Chu Yun handed over the tablet and said in a low voice, "You'll know it after watching the video."

Lin Xiao bowed his head and pressed the 'play' button on the screen, the group arena on the screen had come to an end.

When the winner celebrates.

The loser bowed his head and clenched his fists, silently walked towards the player's aisle, and suddenly fell headlong.

The cheers in the auditorium stopped suddenly, and the medical staff hurried forward, but they were pushed away by the loser's big hand.

The loser stood up staggeringly, covered in flames, unreservedly pouring out source power, his eyes were red, and he hunched over and let out a low growl.

The audience has not yet reacted. The loser quickly turned around and pounced on the winner, his arm pierced the bloody hole in the unsuspecting winner, splashing blood all over the sky.

An unbelievable expression appeared on the winner's face, screams came from the auditorium, and the security personnel rushed out to besiege the out-of-control card master.

This card master had already been defeated before, but at this moment, he erupted with abnormal combat power, as if he was burning his own life. From the ferocious expression on his face, one can see the pleasure brought by killing, blood, and madness.

Lin Xiao frowned slightly... that expression was ugly, it no longer resembled a human being, but like a beast caught in the desire to kill.

Chu Yun pressed the pause button, suppressing the noise in the video, and said seriously:

"There have been more than three similar cases. The fallen card masters who fell into madness all died without exception after undergoing brutal battles."

"What do these fallen card masters have in common?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Their personalities belong to the same type: aggressive, aggressive, and hot-tempered. And the crimes took place in the Zhuolu area, which is the legendary place where Chiyou was defeated," Chu Yun said.

"You mean... to suspect that Chi You is driving these people crazy?"

"There must be a shadow of an evil god among them." Chu Yun frowned and said, "But after all, it is the famous God of War Chi You, I don't think he will directly come forward to lure human beings."

Lin Xiao nodded, and speculated: "There is a high probability that it is Chi You's breath. Hearing the call of the losers, he gave them the power they crave."

And the price of power...Lin Xiao thought to himself...is blood and death.

"I think Chi You in Central Continent hasn't fully awakened yet. It's just that there are signs of his being active, which led to the birth of 'Chi You disciples'."

Chu Yun said: "Otherwise, with his strength, the whole Central Continent would be able to feel the vibration when he wakes up... just like when you broke through the sanctuary."

Lin Xiao nodded.

The recovery of the great red dragon Satan is most likely triggered by the battle between Behemoth and Leviathan.

Because the battle between the giant beast and the sea monster is exactly like [the end of the world], the condition for Satan to wake up has been fulfilled.

And once Chi You wakes up, he must be a top eighth-level or even ninth-level creature, and the recovery conditions must be harsh.

"What are the conditions for Chi You's resurrection..."

Lin Xiao pondered for a while, rubbed his chin, and asked, "Brother Chu Yun, what do you think?"

Chu Yun glanced at Lin Xiao, and said truthfully: "I don't know. But there are reasons to suspect that it is related to concepts such as war and killing. After all, Chi You's most famous title is the God of War in Central Continent and the ancestor of a hundred soldiers."

Lin Xiao nodded, lost in thought.

If Chi You in full form wakes up, there is no possibility of him defeating him.

But if he can interfere with His resurrection ceremony, there may be a chance...

The resurrection ceremony of Chi You, the God of War, might not be handed over to the human fallen card master to complete.

Jiang Shang is the unparalleled scholar of Central Continent, and he has a deeper understanding of Central Continent than I do. According to him, the four murderers are Chi You's dependents.

According to the action trajectories of the four murderers, it may be possible to find Chi You behind him along the way.

It's just... where are the four evils hiding? Could it be related to the "secret realm" mentioned by the little secretary?

It is still too limited to rely on the resources of the Shanghai Metropolitan Investigation Team alone.

Lin Xiao decided to visit Jiang Shang again in the near future.

[Central Continent Alliance Association] The "Seven Stars Conference" is composed of seven schools including the "Wu Qu Star" Taoist Jiang Shang, and the "Greed Wolf Star" Legalist Han Li.

With the recent activity of Chi You's disciples, the Central Continent Alliance will definitely make some progress in "hunting down the four murderers".

...

Imperial Capital, Central Continent Alliance Association.

The thin Taoist priest walked in the bright and clean hall, attracting the surprised eyes of the staff.

"What?" Jiang Shang laughed and said, "It's strange to see me?"

There was a cold reprimand from behind him: "It's because you have self-knowledge."

The visitor was wearing a black gold-rimmed robe, a Pisces jade pendant on his waist, and thin-rimmed glasses. He was young and majestic.

Legalists, Han Li.

In the meeting room, Jiang Shang asked:

"What about the other five?"

"Zhang Jingzhen is traveling around to see a doctor, Mo Yao is working on tricks in his hometown, Lu Lingqiu of the military family leads a group of card masters to crusade against "Chang'an Secret Realm"..."

Han Li pushed the mirror frame and reported the movements of Qixing one by one, and said helplessly:

"I am the only one who can stay in the association."

The Taoist put his hands together and smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Han."

Han Li squinted and said, "You have the nerve to speak."

Since Jiang Shang is a hands-off shopkeeper, most of the affairs of the Central Continent Alliance are handled by Legalist Han Li.

Therefore, Han Li is the card master who works the most overtime in the association.

"Let's get down to business."

Han Li cleared his throat, looked at the smiling Taoist priest, and asked seriously:

"You made a special trip back to the association, what's the matter?"

Unless there are special circumstances, there is no trace of Jiang Shang at all.

Jiang Shang returned to the association for the first time today, which is enough to see the urgency of the situation.

"A few days ago..." Jiang Shang restrained his smile and said, "I met with the first human sanctuary."

Han Li's heart trembled slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Who is that person in the sanctuary you mentioned?"

So far, only one person has set foot on the threshold of the sanctuary.

It was also that person who broke the shackles of the law, allowing more humans to be promoted to the sanctuary.

Han Li had guessed who the card master was... but it was just a guess.

In the final analysis, even the Seven Stars of Central Continent did not receive any specific information about the sanctuary.

Jiang Shang bluntly said that he met the "first sanctuary of mankind", which really shocked Han Li.

The thin Taoist said with a smile, "You can guess."

"Anyway, it can't be you." Han Li said indifferently: "You stay in your hometown fishing all day, and you don't have time to go to the Federation."

Han Li and Jiang Shang have known each other since childhood. One studied under a famous master, and the other became a Taoist monk halfway through. As a result, they grew up and worked together again.

To be precise, Han Li was a little disappointed with this friend.

After all, Jiang Shang has an amazing talent and is the strongest in Central Continent. But holding the Taoist concept of "avoiding the world", he lacks interest in becoming stronger.

Otherwise, with Zhongzhou's resources and Jiang Shang's talent, the first person to set foot in the Sanctuary must be Jiang Shang.

Jiang Shang was not annoyed, and said calmly:

"The strong man in the sanctuary is Lin Xiao."

Han Li was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized that his eyes under the lens were shimmering.

The epee man... no, it should be said that the first person to set foot in the sanctuary was really him!

That card master is even younger than Jiang Shang, so far, he still has unlimited potential.

"It is said that when he was at the seventh level, he single-handedly eliminated the demon god..."

Han Li took off his glasses, rubbed the center of his brows, and said, "I've paid attention to him. But I didn't expect him to reach this level."

"Don't worry." Jiang Shang said, "Neither I nor Banjiao Qingniu's 'Looking Qi Technique' detected any evil thoughts from him."

Han Li sneered: "Maybe it's because this Sanctuary hides so deeply that even you haven't found it?"

After finishing speaking, Han Li sighed deeply: "The national warrior of the Federation is unparalleled, Roman Ulysses has disappeared inexplicably, and the epee man is very suspicious."

"A gentleman doesn't care about his deeds." Jiang Shang said seriously: "He promised to eradicate the four evils. If he can really do it, it will be a blessing to the people of Central Continent."

Han Li frowned: "But... I'm worried that he has other plans."

"I know your concerns." Jiang Shang said slowly: "If you want to negotiate with the strong, you must first have the corresponding bargaining chips."

"In the near future, I will put aside my hobbies first." The Taoist put his hands together and smiled, "Until I step into the sanctuary."

Han Li's eyes flickered, and there was a hint of disbelief in his eyes: "I... heard it right?"

"Poverty never tells a lie."

"This is really..."

Han Li was at a loss for words for a while, put on his glasses, and smiled: "It's a blessing that the epee man is willing to come to Central Continent!"

Only the unreachable sanctuary can inspire Jiang Shang who has no fighting spirit.

And Han Li is also full of expectations for the epee.

I look forward to him being able to assist the Central Continent Alliance, together with Jiang Shang, to fight against the four evil spirits and save ordinary people in troubled times.

"anyway."

Jiang Shang asked: "What new progress has been made in the investigation of the four murderers?"

With a serious face, Han Li said slowly:

"Recently there have been many cases of fallen card masters, and most of the perpetrators are 'Chi You believers'. But it was just Chi You's aura, which aroused the killing desire in the card master's heart, and then induced the card master to fall. It was neither Chi You's original intention nor the four evil spirits. real trends."

"The real purpose of the four murderers lies in..."

"It's in the 'secret realm'! "

A clear voice interrupted Han Li's words, and a slender figure pushed the door open and entered.

The handsome young man ignored Han Li, bowed his hands to Jiang Shang, and said with a smile:

"I have seen Master Jiang Shang."

Jiang Shang cupped his hands in return, smiled and said, "Mr. Zhuge, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Han Li had a slight headache.

The person who came was the descendant of Marquis Wu, Zhuge Qian.

Astrology, deduction, and formation skills come from family education, and he is full of arrogance and lack of etiquette.

As a descendant of Marquis Wu, although he is not one of the seven stars, his status in the [Central Continent Alliance] is no less than that of the seven stars, and he often appears as a 'consultant'.

And because of the ignorance of literati, he and Han Li were extremely at odds, and often pointed fingers at Han Li's decrees.

"You came in without knocking."

Han Li glanced at Zhuge Qian coldly.

Zhuge Qian said plainly: "I heard you two discussing the four evils. The matter is very important, and I have no time to pay attention to the details."

"It doesn't matter." Jiang Shang said: "What do you mean by the "secret realm" you mentioned just now? "

Zhuge Qian arched his hands and said:

"The "Secret Realm" is something unique to Central Continent, a place where the spiritual and material worlds intersect. In the secret realm, counterintuitive things can also happen, for example, summoning things that have already happened from the long river of history. "

Han Li frowned slightly, and Jiang Shang fell into deep thought.

"According to Lu Lingqiu's report, there are many armored soldiers in the "Chang'an Secret Realm", who have assembled into an army and ravaged one side. "Zhuge Qian said: "I think, that is not a human being with flesh and blood, but a projection summoned by the soldier lord Chi You. "

"You mean... Lu Lingqiu is not fighting monsters in the secret realm at present, but is fighting with troops that existed in history?" Han Li asked with a frown.

Zhuge Qian gave Han Li a look of "you are not stupid", nodded and said:

"exactly."

Jiang Shang was silent for a while, and said, "Where does this inference come from?"

"First, I analyzed all the videos that record the secret realm. The soldiers' communication is not meaningless, but an ancient language. Second, there are many secret techniques of spirit descending recorded in the Central Continent spells, and there are also some in the inheritance of Marquis Wu. The secret of helping soldiers."

Zhuge Qian said: "With Chi You's ability, it's not difficult to summon an entire army in the secret realm."

"But why did he do this?" Han Li asked aloud.

"Because Chi You hasn't been resurrected yet... and the killing spirit on the battlefield can make him wake up..."

Jiang Shang looked at Zhuge Qian with deep eyes, and said, "This is your guess, right?"

Zhuge Qian smiled: "Exactly."

"To sum up, the condition for resurrecting the soldier lord Chi You is [Slaying Qi]. Therefore, he will continue to gather troops in the secret realm, and the four murderers will also be active to collect [Slaughtering Qi]."

Zhuge Qian frowned and said, "And what I'm worried about is... If the secret realm is broken and the army inside breaks into reality, I'm afraid Chi You will wake up one step earlier."

Han Li looked at Jiang Shang, and saw a trace of worry in the eyes of the thin Taoist priest.

"If Zhuge Qian's deduction is true..."

Jiang Shang fell into deep thought, thinking:

"It's not just monsters that have to be faced in the secret realm. There are also people who are good at killing in the long history."
