Chapter Twenty-Three: Heresy
tep is to head east as instructed. That's where the interface between the first and second layers is." Lu Cheng nodded and called for [Rujue] again.The girl was as radiant as ever, and nothing out of...Lu Cheng's favorite class everyday is Linguistics. Writing this, I hope readers remember our domain name.
The illusory plane overlaps highly with our real plane, and when a part of the illusory plane materializes, it becomes known as a secret realm. A Cardmaster can enter a secret realm at this time. The creatures within a secret realm are bizarre and varied, so Cardmasters should communicate with them effectively using their language.
Introverts don't exist, communication is a weakness. Address your shortcomings.
But Lu Cheng felt that he couldn't learn it.
Before, if things didn't go well, I would just fight. Unless I couldn't win.
For example, a sister-in-law getting married, that's just something we can't do anything about.
A white 3-star card master facing an epic-level eerie, hands can't even hold, that can only communicate.
As soon as I think about communication...
After school, I still have to train alone with my senior. Social anxiety strikes instantly.
Tang Wuyao agreed, and Lu Cheng had no reason to refuse. As teammates, it's perfectly normal to train together.
I can only practice with my sister for now.
"Hey roommate, I have a question for you. What color do you like"
"Hmm Black Blue"
What do you like to eat
"I wonder, besides sour... "
Then, what do you like...
"Wait!" Tang Wenyao interrupted Lu Cheng: "You wouldn't be giving me a gift, would you That...actually...well, no need to spend money..."
"No, no, no, you misunderstood. Didn't you say that you and your sister liked the same things since you were little I was just asking, and then later..."
"Die! I don't know!!!"
Mr. Li (with a stern face): "Tang Wenyao, your voice is quite loud. Come up here and imitate the sound of a duck dragon for everyone."
"Oh...."
Seeing the girl stride onto the podium with an indignant expression, Lu Cheng curled his lip in disdain.
Looks like another friendly exchange has been completed, social 1.
.......
The old place, the playground after school.
"Lu Chen, good evening," Tang Wuyao greeted.
"Well, okay, hello, senior sister."
Lu Cheng quickly glanced to the side.
I spent half a day preparing the speech, for nothing.
Tang Wuyao didn't notice the awkwardness of an introvert, she went straight to the point.
"Lu Cheng, junior brother, we are output and support. The two of us need to cooperate well, right"
"Well, logically speaking... uh, it's like this!" Lu Cheng nodded.
He has never played team matches before, so teamwork is a completely new concept for him.
Even during a 3v1 situation, he was more focused on how he could win individually rather than how to work with his teammates to secure a victory.
"When we're competing, Xiao Yao Nü should be helping the front line, right Then it's just you and me in the back" Tang Wuyue asked.
Lu Cheng glanced at his senior sister.
How can I tactfully tell her that the back row is going to be a [hotpot] of things
Lu Chengzhen just thought so!
Otherwise, why not give the 【hot pot】 to your senior sister and let her practice with it Get to know each other better
Couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Oh yeah, yeah, yeah!"
"Well, we both have to work hard. The qualifying round is coming up soon, and then we can go to Wangbing Island."
and so on.
Suddenly, Lu Cheng's face changed from awkward to something else.
"King Island"
“Yeah, finally decided. The venue for the Academy Cup is Wangbing Island!”
Lu Cheng's thoughts suddenly returned to that island, that terrifying "island" with jagged glaciers.
A dead ice dragon became the heart of an island, with the famous King Ice Arena located on it.
I once participated in a high-level large-scale escape game here.
This is not important, what matters most is that Wang Bing Island is located at the junction of Tiansheng and Dongshi in the west. Both parties have an agreement that Wang Bing Island will be jointly garrisoned by both sides.
Wang Bing's fighting arena is also a rare neutral fighting arena.
What's going on with the Winter Lion Empire Academy Cup this time
Lu Cheng felt a tinge of unease, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.
"Lu Cheng, are you alright" Tang Wuyao looked at Lu Cheng's dazed expression and asked with concern.
"Oh, it's nothing." Lu Cheng came back to his senses and took a deep breath.
"Great, let's begin!"
What neither of them noticed was that Liu Jun, at the other end of the playground, gave them a cold glance, then turned and left.
........
After returning home, Lu Cheng swallowed a piece of fish and sat on the bed in his cheap room, his expression grave.
The energy of the Black Card is 99.9%.
It's just one step away from success.
To be honest, Lu Cheng didn't think he was sure to make it out alive.
Is this an unordered secret realm, or the infamous haunted capital
This is the literal meaning of crossing the gate of ghosts.
He might be more than capable for the preliminary rounds. He previously planned to enter after finishing, but what's going on with Wang Bingdao...
How do you feel a little uneasy.
Holding the black card in his hand, Lu Cheng fell into deep thought.
.......
The Ice King's Court lies submerged in the Snow Abyss, where snow never melts. Crystals adorn every corner, glaciers stand tall, making it a spectacle of wonders within the Empire of Winter Lions.
In fact, the Winterfell people didn't want to build the palace below the horizon.
During the First War, the Tian Sheng Empire borrowed passage through the Polar Bear tribe and marched its forces directly toward the Winter Lion Imperial City. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers engaged in a prolonged and brutal battle there.
The final Ice Crystal King's court mages launched a surprise attack on the Imperial army's key battlefield, and after the duel zone [Goddess of Harvest's Granary] collapsed, the empire's supply chain was disrupted, forcing them to retreat. As the massive army receded like a wave, the terrain became what it is now.
Here is the site of the founding war of the Winter Lion, a place of great historical significance. Throughout the ages, every imperial capital has been built here. However, after numerous generations of modernization renovations, it's almost impossible to see any traces of the war from back then.
In the Ice Crystal Council Hall, an elder was solemnly staring at a portrait.
A man wearing a helmet stood behind them like an iron tower.
"What's this..."
"The future..."
"Really"
"Who knows" the man with the mask said slowly. "Humans can dominate cards, and similarly, cards can influence humans. The virtual world and our reality overlap. Which of the virtual gods can we truly fathom"
"Which angel card did they give you"
"Each one."
The old man suddenly turned his head, his expression shocked.
The middle-aged man sighed. He understood, the old man in front of him had lived for so many years, this expression didn't appear more than three times in total.
Do prophecies exist
The devil is back.
"Haven't devils always existed Coming from Hell, from the Chaos Realm..." The elder said in a strange manner.
"No, this time it's really...."
"Oh"
"Within the void, the East has always been emptiness, but.......it seems that in recent displays of the future, a mysterious country has appeared out of thin air!"
The old man's pupils contracted, as if he were about to hear something terrible.
"Kingdom"
"Unprecedented in my lifetime, that wall was mottled and ancient, spanning the void for countless miles without end!"
"Interesting, go on."
“Want to hear the whole prophecy”
"Go ahead."
Angels issued warnings, Fenrir began to roar, the threads of fate spun by the Goddess of Destiny were severed, Heimdall blew his horn as well. In the not-so-distant future, Olympus will fall, and Yggdrasil will burn.... They are back.
「........」
"Your Majesty, the times are changing. A new era is upon us, and even the mighty lion of the snowfields cannot escape its influence!"
"A demon Perhaps not....... A lion wouldn't be foolish enough to shed its blood for a mere god card." The old man turned, scrutinizing the scroll carefully.
And the man behind him didn't react, watching the old man's back. But if anyone could see through his mask, they would find a glimmer... of malice!
.......create a small world.Lu Cheng felt it wasn't fast enough!Day after day, watching the battlefield, he felt increasing pressure, as if he couldn't breathe.The Qin Emperor's Dao requires him to take back...
