Card Master Guide

Night fell.

The amphitheater was like a huge bird's nest, from which beams of white searchlight shot out.

The square was crowded with people, and the guardrails of the entrance passage circled round and round. The crowd suddenly commotioned, and a giant airship was passing overhead.

The searchlight beam illuminates the airship, and an LED screen hangs on the side of the airship, and the promotional MV for tonight's game is playing on the screen.

Pyramids stand on the desert, the spires are facing the bright sun, Anubis in the murals is holding a scepter, and the eyes on the head of the jackal are shining brightly.

When the camera turned, the moonlight was bright, and Buster, who had a cat-headed body, folded his arms on his chest.

The camera zoomed out, and in front of Buster stood a heroic girl in a red dress, with one hand on her hip, and a tall pony tail swaying in the wind.

The red side, Jolena Jones, represented the kingdom of Sharo.

The MV picture freezes for a moment, plunged into darkness, a sword is pulled out from the scabbard, and the light of the sword, which is as bright as frost and snow, illuminates the colorful and falling cherry blossoms. The cherry blossoms floated onto a glass of sake, with ripples on the surface of the wine, lifted by a slender hand, and handed to the captivating red lips.

The woman is wearing the traditional costume of Fukizakura, her chest is undulating, her black hair is coiled behind her head, and a golden hairpin is inserted, and the formidable Kusanagi sword is placed on her knee.

The blue side and Orange Qianguang represent the Floating Sakura Kingdom.

Although she acted gentle and pleasant, the cold light in Ju Qianguang's eyes made people shudder even through the screen.

She once used thunderous means to kill the daimyo who intended to rebel, and she was able to secure the throne of Ukizakura as a woman, which shows her skills.

In the eyes of the world, Qiao Linna on the red side is like a dark horse that suddenly appeared, and its origin is not clear.

Therefore, the support rate of the two sides before the game reached 30-70, and Ju Qianguang took the lead with a huge advantage.

There were more and more spectators in the open-air arena, and the seats gradually filled up. Sigrid walked down the stairs holding two large buckets of popcorn.

"Hurry up, Raven, Lin has prepared the front position for us!"

Chu Yun put one hand in his pocket, restrained the desire to take out the cigarette case, followed behind, and said:

"Have you finished eating?"

Sigrid was like a vigilant hamster: "These two buckets are mine, if you want to eat, go buy it yourself."

"I didn't intend to rob you." Chu Yun said, "I just don't want to keep my mouth idle."

"Hmm...Okay, but eat less, because popcorn is not nutritious." The little secretary was full of confidence.

You are not qualified to say this...Chu Yun restrained the desire to complain, found a seat in the front row and sat down, with a clear view of the green field.

When the field card is unfolded, the green field will change into another scene, and protective shields will be raised around the stands to prevent the audience from being accidentally injured by the aftermath of the match.

The atmosphere in the arena was noisy and lively. Chu Yun was not used to this kind of occasion, but he also watched several games related to Lin Xiao like this.

Moreover, the popularity of the epee is much higher than that of both sides in this match.

"Speaking of which, Jolena actually represented Sharo in the World Championship, that's amazing!" Sigrid said with a bucket of popcorn on her knees.

Chu Yun adjusted his sitting posture and crossed his arms.

"She must have gone through a cruel adventure in Shaluo, after all..." Chu Yun said in a deep voice, "The eyes of the gods will only be cast on the fighters who break through the siege."

In the luxury box, fruit snacks are placed on the coffee table in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Jiang Shang, as the host, is chatting with Ms. Fut, the representative of the Shaluo Alliance.

"Shaluo's representative contestant this year surprised everyone." Jiang Shang looked out the window at the venue.

"Honestly speaking, this is the choice of the Sharo gods." Fut said calmly, "When the girl first appeared, there was the cat god Buster walking with her, which really surprised everyone."

"I remember that Buster has a high status in Shaluo, isn't that wrong?" Jiang Shang asked curiously.

"Yes." Ford said, "Although he is not one of the Nine Pillars Gods, Buster has a very high reputation in the hearts of Shaluo people. He is the patron saint of the family and has the ability to distinguish between good and evil."

"He chose this girl, and Jolena did kill the leader of the Fallen Card Masters organization." Fut held up the black tea, and the law lines on the corners of his mouth raised when he smiled: "She does have the qualifications to become Sharo's new banner .”

"The Shaluo Alliance has also provided her with a lot of help, right?" Jiang Shang said.

Ford was noncommittal: "To be precise, Sharo believes in Buster and is willing to follow God's will."

Jiang Shang nodded slightly.

See it with his eyes.

"Amaterasu" Tachibana Qianguang, although he does not have a complete deck system like Qiaolinna, but the blood of the true god flows in his body.

If it wasn't for that monster Lin Xiao, he would be far ahead of the crowd and be the first to spy on the ninth-order law.

Ju Qianguang, who flows the blood of a god, probably has an advantage over any card master in other countries on the road to becoming a god.

"The envoy of La, the confrontation with Amaterasu's bloodline..." Jiang Shang's eyes flickered.

Jiang Shang didn't dare to jump to conclusions about the outcome, but he still hoped that representative Shaluo would win, after all, Qiao Linna was also considered half of his own family.

Players lounge.

"Don't be nervous." Lin Xiao stood and handed over a bottle of mineral water, "Come, drink some water."

Jolena sat on the bench under the locker, reached out to take the mineral water, and said, "Are you the coach?"

"If you need it, I can be it too." Lin Xiao smiled.

"Hmph...you have more important uses." Qiao Linna unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to Lin Xiao, "Here, I won't drink it."

"What's the purpose." Lin Xiao took the mineral water, "Avenge you after you lose?"

"I said, can't you expect me to win?" Qiao Linna laughed angrily.

"Emotionally, I hope you win, but from an analysis point of view, Ju Qianguang has a better chance of winning, so if you can't win, you will abstain..."

Lin Xiao paused and said, "I mainly don't want you to get hurt."

"You know, fighting always hurts, so this sentence is meaningless."

Qiao Linna stood up, looked at Lin Xiao almost face to face, raised her gaze, and said, "But I will remember your words... remember that someone is waiting for me."

Lin Xiao also knew that it was impossible to persuade her to abstain, so she smiled helplessly: "Come on."

"Tch, you have no confidence in me." Jolena said, "Give me your hand."

Lin Xiao stretched out his left hand.

"Right hand," Jolena said.

The tinder in the palm of Lin Xiao's right hand was like a cluster of pitch-black flames, shining with luster.

Another small hand quietly covered it, and the golden tinder and the pitch-black flame overlapped together, as if the dialogue and fusion of the two concepts.

The fingers of their right hands are intertwined.

Jolena pretended to be calm and said, "Can you see my rank clearly?"

"Peak of the seventh step." Lin Xiao said.

"What about now?" Qiao Linna mobilized the Tarot card "Power" in the fire.

Her hands are soft and powerful, and a new source of power is brewing in the tinder, temporarily raising her level to eighth.

The corner of Lin Xiao's mouth raised slightly: "It's still far from me, but... it's enough to use the domain."

"How much confidence do you have in me?" Qiao Linna asked sideways.

"I'm very satisfied with the coach." Lin Xiao still held her hand and said solemnly: "Come on, come back with a beautiful victory."

Jolena smiled lightly: "Of course, Mon amour. (My love)"

"What?"

"The meaning of the coach."

Jolena let go of her hand calmly and walked towards the exit of the lounge.

The cheers in the arena gradually became real. The girl with a high ponytail stood in the shadow of the contestant passage, and a step forward was a bright light.

She turned her head and looked back, and saw the black-haired young man standing in the shadows, with folded arms, nodding encouragingly.

A bright smile rose from the corner of Jolena's mouth, she quickly put away the smile, a sharp edge flashed in her red pupils, and walked towards the stadium.

The enthusiastic cheers of the fans and the discussion of the audience resounded.

"Qiaolinna!!" "Sara's contestant is actually quite beautiful." "Can he win? Opposite is Fuzakura's Guanghuang."

The girl in red stood still on one side of the field, with a thin sword hanging from her waist, and the spotlight illuminated her neat high ponytail and delicate and tall side face.

The noise in her ears gradually disappeared, and Qiao Linna's eyes were extremely focused, staring at the figure coming out of the opposite passage.

It was a graceful and luxurious empress, with waterfall-like black hair braided into a bun, and light red makeup on the corners of her eyes. Although beautiful and seductive, it gives people a strong sense of crisis, like a gorgeous Bana flower.

When Tachibana Qianguang appeared on the stage, the audience burst into enthusiastic cheers. The Empress Floating Sakura is extremely popular and has captured many fans with her looks.

Stepping on Ukizakura's clogs, Tachibana Qianguang stood on the other side of the field, looked at Qiao Linna, and nodded gracefully.

"The players on both sides are already in place!" The commentator's voice echoed passionately, "The venue for this matchup is "Mount Olympus"!"

The majestic holy mountain rose from the ground in the center of the site, the morning glow shone on the steep stone walls, and the cries of eagles sounded amidst the sea of ​​clouds.

"I've encountered this field card before." In the auditorium, Lin Xiao took a seat beside Chu Yun, and reached out to grab a handful from the popcorn bucket of the little secretary.

Sigrid looked at Lin Xiao angrily.

"What do you think the odds are?" Chu Yun folded his arms and said.

"That is the blood of the true god after all. Rationally, I feel that Qiao Linna will lose, but I believe in her emotionally." Lin Xiao said: "Because card masters are the type of people who believe in miracles."

"Do you believe in miracles..." Chu Yun smiled rarely, nodded and said, "That's why I will always walk with you."

When normal people heard that they were going to fight Satan, Chi You, etc., they would have already run away.

It was precisely because he believed in Lin Xiao that Chu Yun chose to travel with this epee man.

Lin Xiao smiled slightly, and said, "It depends on this game, whether a miracle will happen."

on the field.

The top of Mount Olympus.

There were two figures standing among the clouds and mist.

Ju Qianguang said, "Your heart is restless."

"I hate mysterious words." Jolena frowned.

Ju Qianguang smiled, her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts: "You are afraid of failure, but also long for approval, so you want to use this victory to prove yourself."

"Aren't you afraid of failure?" Jolena asked back.

"Some people are born noble." Ju Qianguang's eyes flickered, like a self-pitying actor: "Their failure, in the eyes of ordinary people, also means success."

"Stupid words. No one is born noble." Qiao Linna said coldly: "A beggar can also become an emperor, and a human being can also be equal to a god."

"I've heard many of these statements. Without exception, they all have their heads smashed in the face of reality."

Ju Qianguang flicked his sleeves, Su was already holding a beautifully carved scabbard in his hand, his eyes were completely cold:

"I will teach you what is the majesty of God Amaterasu."

The murderous air came oncoming, Qiao Linna's eyes shrank slightly, and there seemed to be a huge statue of a god behind Ju Qianguang.

It was a radiant golden statue, radiating the sky and the earth, and the whole body radiated golden fire.

The main god of floating cherry blossoms, the Great God of Amaterasu.

Although the authority is somewhat inferior, the status of Amaterasu is equivalent to Zeus among the gods of Chaos and Odin among the gods of Nidhogg.

The blood of the true god flows in Ju Qianguang's body, and it is ten times easier than others to step into the sanctuary that symbolizes the "half-god hero".

This is what Ju Qianguang called "born noble".

It is possible to borrow the authority of Amaterasu to cast down the majesty of the sun.

Powerful, dazzling, can't look directly at!

Not only did Jolena see it, but the audience also exclaimed.

The statue of Amaterasu God was almost real, and it brought a strong shock to the audience!

"What do you mean, this is to fight against Amaterasu?"

"How can you win!"

"Fu Ying's royal family can directly use the power of the blood of the gods, it is so unreasonable!"

Facing Ju Qianguang, Qiao Linna seemed to be facing a divine kingdom. Tens of thousands of rays of light pressed on her slender shoulders with unparalleled deterrence.

The heat wave came head-on, Qiao Linna wiped a drop of sweat from her chin, and the corner of her mouth raised: "Tch... I thought, how terrible the coercion of Amaterasu can be."

Ju Qianguang frowned displeasedly, his eyes were cold, and his thoughts were like lightning.

After facing the authority of Amaterasu, she can still speak?

The coercion is like a mountain, and the suppression of the blood makes it difficult to give birth to a heart of resistance.

Qiao Linna straightened her back slowly, without even using the authority of the god Sharo. The ruby ​​eyes flashed provocatively, and she raised her chin:

"Do you know, I have seen more than one god who is more powerful than Amaterasu."

"Morning star, storm, war." Jolena's red pupils were awe-inspiring: "In the end, they were all wiped out."

In the viewing area, Jiang Shang was a little surprised that Qiao Linna was able to get rid of the pressure of God Amaterasu.

After all, Qiao Linna's hard power is only at the peak of the seventh level, and she has not reached the eighth level. Facing the coercion of the true god, it is really difficult.

In the end, not only was she safe and sound, but she was even able to provoke Ju Qianguang in turn?

Ju Qianguang's eyes became colder and colder, five fingers put on the hilt at the end of the scabbard one by one, the condensed momentum was like black clouds gathering over Mount Olympus.

"You have no idea what God means."

Ju Qianguang said coldly: "Thinking that defeating their projections is equivalent to defeating the real body of God, like a complacent ant, pitiful and ridiculous!"

The floating cherry people have a fanaticism that is almost obsessed with the gods and the blood of the gods. In the eyes of Ju Qianguang, the fallen Chi You is just a clone.

And the real body of the gods refers to the group of real gods who overturned the world in the Middle Ages.

"Tell me—" Qiao Linna's high ponytail fluttered in the strong wind, her eyes looked like a proud lion, and she asked, "Amaterasu, will you bleed too?"

Ju Qianguang paused, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword froze for a moment.

There was no need for Qiao Linna to draw it herself, the three tarot cards flew out of the deck automatically, surrounding Qiao Linna.

Form the "Holy Triangle" card array in the Tarot.

Symbolizes the past, present, and future.

In the past, she was a homeless girl abandoned in a slum, a reversed "Hanged Man" who could not see the light of day.

Now, he is an adventurer who bonds with friends and lovers, and is the "Wheel of Fortune" where fate changes.

In the future, it will be an invincible female swordsman who has stepped into the sanctuary, an upright "power" with both inner softness and lion-like bravery!

Tachibana Qianguang's actions were influenced by "The Hanged Man", and because of the hints between Qiao Linna's actions and words, the action of drawing the knife hesitated for a moment.

The "Wheel of Fortune" turned quietly, and the invisible blessing enveloped Jolina, allowing her to hit the vitals more accurately.

And "Power" allowed Jolena's source power to briefly break through the eighth level and step into the sanctuary!

"Contestant Qiaolinna drew out her sharp blade and launched a surprise attack!" The commentator shouted loudly, "Contestant Ju Qianguang's sword drawing technique is also brewing—this is an irresistible slash!!"

Tachibana Qianguang's finishing move is called "Amazono Cloud", which is another name for Kusanagi Sword.

Tian Congyun is a sword-drawing technique, as fast as a shooting star and as swift as a thunder shadow.

Even Jiang Shang didn't have the confidence to avoid the 'Drawing the Sword Art Tian Congyun'.

He withdrew his hand from the sleeve of his Taoist robe, his eyes were tense, and he stared at the two people on the top of the mountain who were getting closer.

Qiao Linna is like a pounced lion, while Ju Qianguang is like a cheetah ready to go.

One side relies on the blessing of the Tarot array, and the other side is nourished by the blood of God.

They are all eighth order.

There is no time, and there is no room for slowly expanding the domain and crashing.

I will use the next move, the finishing move that is close at hand, to decide the winner!

Is it pre-emptive, or last-serving?

Time suddenly stopped at this moment.

Jiang Shang seemed to be able to hear the sound of himself swallowing saliva, nervousness and anticipation enveloped the entire venue.

In the auditorium, Lin Xiao's eyes flickered, and an incomparably beautiful knife light flashed in front of his eyes.

"Time magic..." Lin Xiao murmured.

The most powerful card in the Tarot system, which is the complete form of the Fool, number 01: Magician.

Zheng.

It's like Susano, cutting off the body of Yamata no Orochi in the middle, that beautiful sword slash.

The sky was divided into two halves, and two clumps of clouds and mist swung open, and there seemed to be blood mist splashing into the sky, just like a cherry blowing snow floating from the ground.

The Kusanagi sword was unsheathed.

Blood splashed on Tachibana Qianguang's face, her eyes were icy cold, and she was holding a Kusanagi sword that was as bright as frost and snow.

In front of her, Qiao Linna's chest and abdomen were slashed with a thick bloodstain, her eyes were like flickering candles, and she said:

"As expected of the Amazon Cloud Sword..."

"You." Ju Qianguang raised her head, recovering from the momentary confusion, a burst of icy cold came from the back of her neck, and blood dyed her black hair red from behind.

"Even if I pause the time, I can still hit me one step ahead of time." Qiao Linna said, "But..."

Ju Qianguang fell down with a 'boom', and the statue behind her was dripping with golden blood, and the light around her was dim, gradually dissipating into light particles.

Jolena held the Tarot cards in her blood-stained hands, took the "magician" back to the fire, and said:

"It seems that God Amaterasu also bleeds."

The venue was silent for a long time, and the audience hadn't recovered from the millisecond fighting.

"It's over... the beautiful finisher competition, contestant Qiaolinna, won the final victory!"

It wasn't until the narrator's excited voice sounded that the audience woke up like a dream.

"It's unbelievable, facing Tachibana Qianguang's best sword-drawing technique, the winner was decided in one round!" The commentator was still talking about it.

Applause broke out like thunder, and cheers and vibrations swept the entire venue.

A new top four player was born.

The blood-stained girl stood on the field, her tall horse trailing in the wind, her eyes seemed to be looking for something, and finally fixed on a corner of the auditorium.

Like melting ice and snow, a smile gradually appeared on the girl's face.

The hearts of the audience jumped, nearly tens of thousands of people were hit by this smile at this moment, and the barrage area exploded instantly.

"I will protect this smile!"

"She smiled at me, she has me in her heart!"

"Woooo Miss Jones has a sweetheart at first sight."

The director followed Jolena's gaze, and the camera searched the auditorium sensiblely.

The camera quickly froze on the area where Sigrid and the others were. The little secretary looked up at the camera and quietly gestured to the long young man next to him.

Lin Xiao looked up, saw the camera was looking at him, and smiled peacefully.

Not only the barrage area, but also the scene was in an uproar.

"I'll go, the epee man is her boyfriend?"

"I have a lemon!"

"Damn it, I'm against this marriage!"

"Brothers put the public screen on good match."

In the luxurious box, Jiang Shang said with emotion:

"I didn't expect that Qiao Linna could really defeat Ju Qianguang."

Fu Te said with some pity: "However, she suffered such a serious injury, the next game..."

"Where there is gain, there must be loss, and Ju Qianguang is not an opponent that can be defeated without injury." Jiang Shang said, "I care about another thing."

"What?"

"Zhongzhou and Shaluo Alliance, I'm afraid we have to prepare gifts for these two people." Jiang Shang said with a smile.

Federal, in the luxurious manor, Mr. Jones stood in front of the live screen and secretly wiped the corner of his eyes.

"She and Lin Xiao will go back to the Federation in the next two days..."

Mr. Jones is actually very satisfied with this son-in-law, but he still owes his daughter more in his heart. He wanted to fulfill his responsibilities as a father, and sighed:

"This may be the last round of investigation."
