Flame Palace.
In the depths of the grand hall, the forbidden land of flames.
At this time, a middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back, he had a head of fiery red hair, as if his whole body was burning with flames.
This man was none other than the Lord of the Flame Palace, Qing Yan.
At this moment, Jiang Linger, wearing a tight leather armor, leaned lazily back in her chair, her two slender legs entwined together.
Qing Yan's eyelids twitched as he looked at his daughter, truly born charming and captivating.
After a brief silence, Qing Yan looked at Jiang Linger and said slowly, "Linger, is it that you're not enough..."
"Are you trying to say I'm not seductive enough?" Jiang Linger squirmed, then lay back on the chair, her voice endlessly charming, "Do you want me to be seductive for you?"
"Alright." Qing Yan's scalp went numb.
Jiang Linger's face turned cold, and said angrily, "You don't know, that guy is so rigid, he's simply an ultimate, invincible, super titanium-magnesium-aluminum straight guy. I've practically served it to him on a platter, but he just won't take it!"
"No reaction at all!"
"I'm so angry! All straight guys should die!"
Qing Yan looked at his daughter's stunningly domineering figure, his eyes flickering.
Just at that moment, as if on cue, both of them thought of something, their eyes met, and from each other's eyes, they could see a hint of inexplicable meaning.
As they gazed at each other, a strange look appeared on each other's faces.
A brief silence followed, and Jiang Linger's red lips curved slightly as she said, "Dad, how about you give it a try?"
Qing Yan's eyelids twitched, feeling his scalp go numb, and said, "Forget it, as long as you keep him out of the top four, then everything will be fine."
Jiang Ling'er's beautiful eyes drooped slightly as she gazed at her majestic mountains and rivers, coldly snorting, "That guy doesn't play by the rules. If he also summons that ghostly thing in the top four, won't he just smack me into an airport with one slap?"
"Don't worry about that." Qing Yan's eyes revealed a hint of disdain, saying, "The last battle gave me some inspiration."
"Hmm?" Jiang Ling'er was slightly surprised.
Qing Yan smiled but remained silent, looking ahead.
Following its gaze, Jiang Ling'er saw a fiery pool.
In the midst of the pool, blue flames were burning fiercely, brewing a terrifying power, causing ripples and fluctuations, which made people palpitate.
The gaze of the two people was fixed on the fiery blaze, as if there was a colossal beast slumbering for thousands of years, about to awaken.
Boom!
The next moment, a brilliant sun soared from the fiery pool, illuminating all directions, dazzling and magnificent.
Blurrily, within the sun, a blood-red phoenix could faintly be seen, being reborn from the flames...
...
Xinghai Manor.
Xiao Xuan looked at the message sent by Feng Yebei, unable to calm his heart for a long time.
He was just a four-star card master, and the battles were already so fierce. He truly dared not imagine the battle between the nine stars.
In such a level of battle, it was likely that the mountains and seas would be incinerated in the blink of an eye, and a slight mistake would result in severe injuries, right?
His master always stood before him with a chilly demeanor, but secretly made silent efforts for him, silently challenging the nine star beasts...
Deep affection flowed quietly.
"I owe my master more and more, huh?"
"No choice." Xiao Xuan sighed softly, murmuring, "It seems I can only repay it gradually throughout my life."
He secretly made up his mind.
"I cannot lose in the top four."
The last star card was originally intended to make a Poke Ball, but Xiao Xuan thought for a moment and decided to create a character from the Pokemon series, Ash Ketchum.
He is a vibrant and courageous young man.
However, the regret is that this protagonist did not win the championship in the grand competition.
In terms of skills:
First is the Poke Ball.
There are many types of Poke Balls, each having different functions, and the Master Ball has the effect of capturing without fail.
Therefore, Xiao Xuan planned to set the first skill as "Master Ball": Ash Ketchum throws the Master Ball, capturing the opponent's star card without fail, turning the enemy into an ally for his own use.
Of course, the system will definitely make modifications, as the direct effect would be too overpowered.
The modified direction, he thought, should be the capture rate or the control of the opponent's star card.
The second skill is Healing Ball.
Originally, the Healing Ball was set to restore a captured Pokemon's HP and dispel negative status conditions. But Xiao Xuan plans to make a change.
Ash Ketchum can force any star card into the Healing Ball at a critical moment, granting temporary immunity to all damage, while restoring energy and HP.
The third is Mega Evolution.
Ash Ketchum can allow a designated star card to undergo Mega Evolution, enhancing all attributes and upgrading skills.
In addition, Ash Ketchum is a Pokemon trainer, and he and his Pokemon are in sync. Letting him take command in this battle would naturally be better than doing it himself.
Similarly, the enemy usually attacks the Pokemon first, rarely targeting the trainer, so he must give him a 50% damage reduction.
He has no attack power himself, so if he can't hold the line, it's over.
The last skill, Xiao Xuan plans to set it as a posthumous skill, a skill that only triggers after Ash Ketchum's death.
The idea for this skill came from the 2017 Pokemon movie, where after Ash Ketchum's death, Pikachu turns despair into Thunderous Rage and unleashes a devastating blow that destroys the heavens and the earth.
The sight of it makes you cry each time.
You destroyed the only world for me, so I'll destroy your only world.
Therefore, the final skill can be set as "You Are My Only One": After Ash Ketchum dies, Pikachu turns despair into Thunderous Rage, strengthening the ultimate skill - "Million Volt."
Star card generation.
Ash Ketchum
Realm: Four Stars
Quality: Gold
Skills:
"Trainer": As a trainer, Ash Ketchum is in sync with Pokemon, able to command star card battles, and comes with a 45% reduction in damage.
【Master Ball】: Ash throws a master ball, and it will definitely capture the opponent's star card and control the target to battle for three minutes. (If it is a high-level star card, the capture probability and control duration decrease in turn.)
【Mega Evolution】: Limited skill, Ash can specify a star card for mega evolution, skill upgrade, enhancement of all attributes, and awakening of new skills.
【Eternal Companion】: After Ash dies, he leaves a hat behind. The hat can specify a star card for mega evolution, skill upgrade, enhancement of all attributes, and awakening of new skills.
【You Are My Only One】: After Ash dies, Pikachu transforms despair into rage, enhancing the ultimate skill - "Thunderbolt."
If it's not specified as a limited skill, such as the Master Ball, it can be reused, but with cooldown.
Although the system is lazy to specify the exact cooldown, it does exist, related to the strength of the skill.
Skills like the Master Ball undoubtedly have a very long duration. Many skills, even with cooldown, can only be used once in a battle.
Mega Evolution is a limited skill. While Ash is alive, he can only choose once.
Another time is after Ash dies.
Pikachu's "Thunderbolt" is already a limited skill, an invincible explosive attack. Strengthened again after sacrificing Ash, just thinking about it, shows how terrifying it is.
This lineup is full of endless possibilities, with hope for constantly turning the tables.
Even if Ash kneels, there is still Pikachu, and even if they both kneel, there is still Gyarados...
Next, it's time to train seriously and wait for the top four.
No, I should make some delicious food to help my master's recovery.
Three meals a day, make sure she eats enough~
...
Time flies.
The days of not being able to show off pass by quickly.
In a blink of an eye, it's almost time for the top four.
Bright Moon Tower.
As the top four match approaches, Su Ming and the star card masters under Lord Gong Wu have booked a room to encourage Xiao Xuan.
Inside the private room, there is a lively exchange of cups and goblets.
Qin Wanyan smiled faintly, with a hint of drunkenness on her charming face, holding a wine glass and said, "I have wanted to thank you for a long time. If it wasn't for you, our two sects would have to live under the cold eyes of others."
Zhou Ze smiled and said, "I said I wouldn't misjudge people. Even if I do, can't the lord also misjudge?"
Huanyu fell silent for a moment, gently caressing the wine glass, and said, "The one who should be thanking you the most is me. Let me take a penalty drink."
With that, Huanyu suddenly stood up and finished the drink in one go.
Xiao Xuan smiled and said, "We are all brothers from the same sect, so we should share hardships together. In the military, comrades share life and death, which is based on mutual trust."
Qin Wanyu propped her chin with her delicate hand and boldly said, "Now, many girls are asking me about your news, and some even ask me, as a senior sister, if I have tried to steal a kiss."
"Haha, even if I want to steal a kiss, it's not something I can decide on my own, right?"
Suddenly, there was laughter.
This scene made Xiao Xuan feel warm. When you want to drink, it's great to have people willing to drink with you.
At this moment, Xiao Xuan suddenly stood up, holding the wine glass, looking at everyone, and said, "Everyone, although our Tianyuan Hall is the last of the Seven Halls, as long as we work together and face difficulties, there will always be a day of regaining glory for the Tianyuan Hall."
"Come, for the future of the Tianyuan Hall, cheers!"
With the words, he toasted first and drank it all in one go.
"Cheers!"
The others also stood up and drank the wine in their glasses.
The sunlight shone through the window onto Xiao Xuan. His handsome face was filled with a calm smile.
"My intuition tells me that you will definitely win in the top four tomorrow. Not to mention the top four, you have a good chance of winning the championship!"
"Chief Xiao, don't forget about us when you become rich and noble!"
"Haha, don't forget about us when you become rich and noble!"
"Haha, let's compare and see who will be the most successful in two years!"
The excited voices were even accompanied by the source energy. Even on other floors, the commotion could be heard.
Nothing is more arrogant than the youth.
In the private room on the top floor, Qin Sheng and Jiang Linger heard the noise downstairs and smiled at each other.
Qin Sheng was calm, gently tapping the wine glass, teasing, "Win the championship? Regain the glory of the Tianyuan Hall? Rich and noble?"
A mocking smile crept onto his lips as he said, "They are really young."
Jiang Linger sneered, "Hmph, in the top four tomorrow, I will make them understand how ridiculous their so-called intuition is!"
She reached out and gently embraced Qin Sheng's arm, whispering in his ear, "Leader Qin, rest assured, he won't pass my test."
"By tomorrow, I will trample his pitiful self-confidence into pieces..."
Qin Sheng nodded slightly and said with a smile, "I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. I can hardly wait."
"That, shall we begin?"
"Hmm?"
...
