Card Master Guide

The moon was hidden in the dark clouds, the stars dimmed, and the lake water slapped the small island, making a soft "唦唦" sound.

Under the willow tree on the island in the middle of the lake, Lin Xiao lay on Qiao Linna's lap, slowly opened his eyes, dazed for a moment, and asked:

"How long have I been asleep?"

"One hour." She pursed her lips and said, "It seems that you are really tired."

"It's so relaxing to be by your side."

Lin Xiao raised his upper body and said, "Didn't your father notice that we left?"

"The servants came to look for them just now, and I asked them to go back." Qiao Linna said lightly, "I want you to rest for a while longer."

"Enough rest, let's go back." Lin Xiao said with a smile: "Next time I will let you out, you can rest by me."

The corner of Jolena's mouth lightly raised: "Humph... I will remember."

Lin Xiao stood up and stretched out his hand to grab her.

Jolena stood up with a pair of high heels, looked at her sweetheart, recalled the scene an hour ago, her cheeks were slightly hot.

She faintly felt that there was a closer connection between them.

The night was dark, and the wind was blowing on the lake. The two returned to the manor along the way they came, opened the gate and walked up the stairs, and stood in front of Jolena's boudoir.

"What happened today..." Jolena blushed.

"I can do it again when I have time, I think." Lin Xiao said.

Jolina stared angrily and closed the door.

Immediately, he opened another crack in the door and said softly, "Good night."

"Good night." Lin Xiao said softly.

Back in the guest room, Lin Xiao lay on the soft mattress, looking at the dark ceiling, unable to sleep.

A full-day trip is undeniably rewarding.

A closer relationship with Jolena and the blessing of the prospective father-in-law.

According to Lin Xiao's logic, the next step is to get engaged.

But he was starting to worry.

Worried about the stolen remains of Chiyou, the missing "God of the Desert" Seth and the "Big Red Dragon" Satan.

Worried about the coming end of the world that Lucifer said.

Doomsday, the ultimate proposition that cannot be escaped in any mythology.

There are many kinds of its "ontology", such as the Great Flood in the Bible, many monsters such as Nidhogg and Fenrir the wolf in Norse mythology, Apophis, the giant snake that swallowed the world in Egyptian mythology, and so on.

These all symbolize the end.

The problem right now is that although I know there is a doom that I cannot escape, I don't know what the doom is.

"Gather the scattered bones first, find a chance to break through the ninth level, and then investigate together with Zhongzhou."

Lin Xiao's eyes flickered slightly.

"We must know what the "body" of the end of the world is! "

Sleepiness gradually hit.

The next morning, Lin Xiao woke up and took a shower.

Walking into the dining room, I found that Jolena had already been dressed and was drinking hot coffee at a dining table covered by a vase.

"Good morning." Jolena raised her red eyes, "Would you like something to drink?"

"Just be the same as you." Lin Xiao yawned and sat down.

"No problem, I just learned how to use the coffee machine!" Jolena got up and left the restaurant and walked to another kitchen, as if she wanted to do it herself before the maid.

Lin Xiao glanced at the sumptuous breakfast on the table, and then at Mr. Jones who had been glancing this way.

"Speak up if you have something to say." Lin Xiao said.

"In my life, I have never tasted the coffee made by my daughter." Mr. Jones said regretfully.

"It's all made with a coffee machine anyway, so it's the same?" Lin Xiao complained.

"Oh...don't mind it, please." Mr. Jones returned to his newspaper.

After a while, Jolena came back with a cup of hot black coffee and whispered:

"Sorry, forgot to ask if you want sugar or milk..."

It was indeed difficult for Miss Jones to serve others.

Lin Xiao smiled dumbly, took the coffee, and said, "This is just right, thank you."

Qiao Linna showed a sweet smile, and suddenly the old father coughed, so she cast her gaze over there.

Mr. Jones felt a little helpless when he was stared at like this. But he also knows his daughter's temper, and she will not be really indifferent to her family.

"How about staying at home for a few more days, Lin Xiao?" Mr. Jones asked for advice.

"No, tomorrow is the next round of the World Championship." Lin Xiao declined politely, "Besides, there are still many things to deal with."

"That's it, okay...Then I give you this card, it's a little bit of my kindness."

Mr. Jones handed over a card, which looked like a 'vehicle card' model, and the price was definitely not cheap.

Lin Xiao hesitated and glanced at Qiao Linna, but she didn't care and didn't express her opinion.

"Accept it." Mr. Jones smiled kindly, "Just because of our promise to each other last night?"

Lin Xiao nodded and said, "I understand."

In fact, I am not short of money and a vehicle card, but my father-in-law has said so, so I naturally have to accept it, for the promise of "promising to take care of his daughter for him".

"What promise?" Jolena asked.

Lin Xiao didn't answer, and nodded with Mr. Jones.

The vehicle card is a limited-grade sports car painted in silver, the same level as his own "Queen Band" motorcycle.

The manufacturer is the glorious and well-known old car company "Aston Martin", and the model is "Silver Ghost", which is the car of the protagonist in the "007" movie.

Although I usually ride motorcycles, this "Silver Ghost" sports car has little room to play, but it is good to keep it as a collection.

After accepting the farewell gift, Lin Xiao and Qiao Linna said goodbye to Mr. Jones, and returned to Central Continent on the same day's flight to prepare for the next round of the World Championship.

The top four players of the World Championship have been released, namely: Lin Xiao, Qiao Linna, Jiang Shang, and Augustus.

According to the pre-determined grouping results, Lin Xiao will play against Qiao Linna in the semi-finals, and Jiang Shang will compete with Augustus for the final spot.

Qiao Linna is not very interested in advancing to the finals, not to mention, after this trip to the Federation, she has absolutely no reason to fight Lin Xiao to the death.

She told Lin Xiao that she planned to admit defeat after a cutscene, so that Lin Xiao could concentrate on preparing for the final.

Imperial Capital, inside the player hotel.

"You fought against Ju Qianguang, and the injuries left on your body did not heal." Lin Xiao said, "Everyone and I will understand."

"That's not the point, the point is..." Qiao Linna sighed softly: "It's not because no matter how hard you try, you can't catch up with this monster."

"You have achieved your ideal, Qiao Linna." Lin Xiao smiled slightly, and said, "So, from now on, just leave it to me."

Jolena's eyes flickered and she nodded slightly.

He has a concept that is difficult for ordinary people, or in other words, saving the world is his real mission.

With such idealistic people, it seems that I will also burn up.

Qiao Linna shook her head helplessly, with a smile on her lips, looked at Lin Xiao, and said, "Come on for the final."

"Don't worry, I still have a bit of confidence." Lin Xiao said, "No matter who we fight in the final, he will definitely be defeated!"

...

Saturday, October 29.

In the semi-final between Lin Xiao and Qiao Linna, Qiao Linna took the initiative to admit defeat.

This game did not cause much disturbance.

After all, Qiao Linna's injury and defeat of "Amaterasu" Floating Sakura has exceeded most people's expectations.

What's more, these two people are boyfriend and girlfriend, and I'm afraid the result of the discussion has already been reached.

Most of the discussion posts on the forum have nothing to do with the competition.

"Damn it, I was given another mouthful of dog food!"

"Although I lost the game, but won the epee, it is equal to winning twice!"

"Woo Jolena my Jolena..."

At the same time, the last semi-final of the World Series officially started.

The two sides in the duel are Jiang Shang from Central Continent and Augustus from the Northland.

At present, Central Continent and the Northland have reached a cooperative relationship, aiming to find another immortal skeleton located in the Northland.

The two sides in the duel are not a life-and-death relationship, but in order to show force, it is still necessary to try our best to win.

On the day of the competition, the open-air arena was full of voices, and the stadium, which could accommodate 100,000 people, was full of seats.

The Seven Stars of Central Continent and the governors of the Northland all appeared in the arena, causing quite a stir among the audience.

With the debut of the narrator, the terrain of the field was announced. The field card is the standard Roman Colosseum, and neither side can take advantage of it.

The match officially started. At first, Jiang Shang had the advantage of commanding the air with the technique of controlling the wind, but he was soon confronted by Augustus' combat technique 'Blizzard and Ice Burial', and he became a little embarrassed.

However, he summoned his spirit card 'Banjiao Qingniu', presenting a situation where more fights less, faintly suppressing Augustus.

Augustus's eyes were stern, he clenched the 'Kungunir' spear in his hand, and poured the majestic ice-blue source power into it. Suddenly, the situation changed suddenly, ice crystals fell from the sky, and the ice covered the entire Colosseum.

The four hooves of the Banjiao Qingniu were directly frozen, and Augustus took advantage of the situation and swung his spear to break it. Jiang Shang waved the sleeves of his Taoist robe and then withdrew, but he was not affected in any way.

"Liberation General Winter!" Augustus' eyes were piercing.

On the condensed ice, several ice sculptures rose from the ground, and the ice cavalry charged Jiang Shang with iron hooves.

Jiang Shang swung the magic whip, smashing the ice cavalry continuously.

But Kungunil in the hands of Augustus locked onto Jiang Shang firmly as if he had seen through his fate, and flew across the sky like a shooting star!

The audience let out an exclamation in unison.

That is the spear of Odin, the spear of destiny that will surely hit the enemy!

Puff!

Jiang Shang's shoulder was pierced through the bleeding hole by the spear, and blood was splashed everywhere, but this move could not make Jiang Shang lose his ability to resist.

Augustus raised his hand and retracted the spear, his pupils suddenly shrank, reflecting the golden whip in the sky.

Hit the magic whip, which is very effective against enemies with divine nature.

Although Augustus is a human being, when she throws Kungunir, she will more or less be tainted with a trace of divinity inherited from the great god Odin.

At this moment, it was the time for Jiang Shangji to beat the magic whip!

The magic whip hung high in the sky, wrapped in golden light and smashed down on the head.

Augustus' eyes were cold, and he stepped on the solid ice rising under his feet.

Amidst the rumbling sound, a throne made of solid ice rose from the ground, resisting the falling whip!

Augustus' "Finishing Skill: Ice Throne" appeared again, and the audience gasped in surprise, shocked by the powerful aura of the Queen of the Northland.

But for her, defense alone is far from being able to defeat Jiang Shang.

We must find a key opportunity - for example, release the domain!

Finding the gap where Jiang Shang condensed spell cards, Augustus shouted:

"Frozen World!"

Bitter cold air rose into the sky, and the entire Colosseum turned into ice sculptures, as if even time was slowed down by the chill.

In this icy world, Emperor Augustus is the only ruler!

The scene fell into an uproar, and the audience in Beidi showed excitement and shouted loudly.

In the spectator seats, the seventh-rank card master "Broken Army Star" Lu Lingqiu looked solemnly: "The field is so tricky..."

Fields also have strengths and weaknesses.

Like Augustus, who has completely mastered the 'ice' element and turned it into a domain, is undoubtedly one of the top domains in the world.

"It's fine."

Han Li pushed up his glasses, and Jiang Shang, who was calm and breezy, was reflected in his eyes.

"Although he usually looks like a salted fish... But he is strong in that he can make others like him!"

In the midst of the ice and snow, Jiang Shang shivered with the sleeves of his Taoist robe, eroded by the biting cold.

Holding a spear, Augustus stood on the towering Ice Throne, and said coldly, "Where is your domain?"

"I don't have a domain." Jiang Shang said frankly.

"Don't lie to me." Augustus said coldly, "You, too, are the sanctuary of this world!"

The frozen world suddenly seemed to come alive. The blizzard and ice cones were like ruthless beasts, raging and roaring towards Jiang Shang.

Jiang Shang's eyes flickered: "Although I have no domain...but I can make you do the same."

Domain·Sage Nameless.

Invisible ripples spread from Jiang Shang's body, carrying the breath of spring breeze, turning all the ice cubes touched into powder.

Augustus was a little surprised that his indestructible ice field collapsed automatically!

"My domain is to make the domains of both parties invalid. You can't use the domain of a saint, you can only compete with the realm of a mortal... It's a strange domain, right?"

Jiang Shang said with a wry smile: "After all, it can only be used once, and you will know next time."

Augustus was slightly lost in thought, his eyes serious.

The domain is the embodiment of the card master's own spirit, so everyone's domain after stepping into the eighth level is different.

Jiang Shang's domain seems strange, but it also fits his own concept of card master...similar to the 'Tao' pursued by Central Continent card master.

"Although I hate fighting, but..."

A rare sharpness flashed across Jiang Shang's eyes, like a roc riding the wind, holding a golden whip in his hand, he said:

"This time, I want to win!"

The corners of Augustus' mouth curled up, holding the Eternal Spear in his hand, showing a majestic aura, attacking like a thunderbolt.

Since the expansion of the field consumed a lot of source power, but did not achieve any substantial effect, the Kungunir in Augustus's hand was overwhelmed after withstood the continuous blows from the whip, and cracks appeared on the gun.

Click!

Kungunir completely turned into light particles and dissipated, and Augustus also lost the last source of power to condense the cards.

"I lost." Augustus sighed softly.

The scene was silent for a moment, and suddenly burst into warm cheers.

"The winner has been born!!" The commentator said passionately: "Let us congratulate Jiang Shang, who has advanced to the final!!"

In the cheering venue, Jiang Shang smiled and greeted the audience in a friendly manner.

When his eyes fell on Lin Xiao who was watching the competition, Jiang Shang's eyes flickered and he nodded with a smile.

Lin Xiao saw a rare fighting spirit in his eyes.

"Will you face Jiang Shang in the final?"

Lin Xiao rubbed his chin, feeling a little weird.

"He doesn't want to lose to me early so that he can retire..."
