Chapter 17: Who to Favor Tonight?
Returning ho.
Luo Sheng didn’t see Qin Jianjia, guessing she was hiding in her room ditating and roaming the dream realm, allowing her spiritual jade to resonate with the new card.
This was the only way for Card Masters to communicate with cards and improve their compatibility.
Especially since the original 【Frost Flying Dragon】 was a 10-star bronze card, three star levels higher than Qin Jianjia, the initial compatibility would be much lower than other ordinary cards.
Therefore, if she wanted to use this card, she would need to put in a lot of effort to communicate with it, constantly improving compatibility. Of course, the feedback received would be very rewarding.
After resonating with a higher-level card, it could refine a Card Master’s spiritual power. In fact, after advancing from a Card Apprentice to a Card Master, there were two ways to increase one’s level:
① Continuously refine the spiritual jade through ditation.
② Communicate with higher-level cards to gain feedback and increase level.
These two thods each had their advantages and disadvantages.
The forr was slower in level increase, and the less talent one had, the easier it was to encounter bottlenecks, unless one could find high-level ditation thods, but the cost was relatively low.
The latter could easily and quickly increase one’s level, with the only drawback being the extrely high cost, which only financial groups and consortiums could afford.
However, Luo Sheng didn’t need these two thods. He only needed to enhance cards to improve his Card Master level through mysterious energy.
“Who should I favor tonight?”
Luo Sheng drew out 【Fire Maiden – Acoley】 and 【Battle Maiden – Alice】.
Then he put Alice down, planning to find suitable material cards to enhance the cha as well.
As for Acoley, there were already available material cards for enhancent, and moreover, she was the first battle card to follow him.
The spiritual jade communicated with the card, and the scene of the card world appeared in Luo Sheng’s ntal space.
Crossing the void, Luo Sheng disappeared from the room, and in a flash of light, he was already in the magic world.
The 【Fire Maiden – Acoley】 in his hand had indeed disappeared, rging with this world. Only when he left the world would the card return to his hand.
It was now night, with a crescent moon hanging high.
Luo Sheng put on his cha and summoned Bai Moxue to hide in the darkness.
He used his spiritual power to sense Acoley’s location, then chased after her.
……
Deep in the forest.
Blood stained many tree branches, and Acoley, hiding under a tree hollow, wiped away the blood.
Her JK black stockings left many wounds on her long legs, the tight stockings torn open exposing large areas of jade-like skin. Not just her thighs, but her entire body was covered in wounds, bleeding incessantly.
After all, being chased by magic beasts for 5 days and fighting for 5 days, her body was already running at full capacity, and her magic power was exhausted.
Acoley fantasized about whether that boy would appear again, but of course, it was just a fantasy. Moreover, even if he appeared, he would only end up in the sa desperate situation as her.
“So tired…”
Acoley finally succumbed to physical fatigue and weakness, powerlessly closing her eyes and falling into a deep sleep.
Feeling the cold of the night, her curled-up body shivered constantly, as if returning to that snowy night when she was selling matches.
In the darkness, magic beasts slled the scent of blood and kept approaching her.
At this mont, she was completely unaware, and even if she knew, she would be powerless to change her fate. She just wanted to have a good sleep.
3 Wind Demon Giant Wolves appeared in front of the tree hollow. They had already slled Acoley’s scent, and in the darkness, their glowing fierce eyes kept approaching the tree hollow.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed.
One Wind Demon Giant Wolf’s head was separated from its body, and the remaining 2, seeing this situation, imdiately retreated.
Unfortunately, they didn’t notice a scythe-wielding death god waiting for them in the shadows.
A flash of silver light, and another Wind Demon Giant Wolf was cut in half, dying elegantly without any blood flowing out.
“Awooo~!”
Only one giant wolf remained, letting out a huge howl, seemingly telling its companions that there was an enemy here.
It had barely howled for two seconds when suddenly, a tal fist heavily smashed into its forehead, instantly splattering its brains and killing it with one blow.
In just one breath, 3 Wind Demon Giant Wolves were dead, leaving only corpses.
“3 Wind Demon Giant Wolves couldn’t have driven her into such a desperate situation, right?” Luo Sheng walked out from the darkness, the iron fist just now being his handiwork.
This cha suit not only had high defense but also decent physical damage.
No sooner had Luo Sheng finished speaking than intense battle sounds ca from not far away.
When he rushed over, Alice was already engaged in a fierce battle with other Wind Demon Giant Wolves, with sparks flying in an instant.
The giant wolves constantly tried to tear apart their prey with sharp claws and fangs.
Alice was no pushover either, using her jujitsu to nimbly avoid fatal attacks and counter-attack with her folding knife. However, there wasn’t much difference in strength between the two sides, at most fighting to a draw.
After Luo Sheng joined the battle, the balance of victory tilted to one side.
In the ti it takes to drink a cup of tea, 6 Wind Demon Giant Wolves lost their lives.
Luo Sheng returned to the tree hollow and found Acoley.
She was in tattered clothes, barely conscious, her black stockings now a battle-damaged version, with wounds so deep the bone was visible, and her blackened eyes showed she hadn’t slept peacefully for several nights.
If she hadn’t been rescued, she wouldn’t have survived the night.
“Damn, these nobles want to kill her!” Luo Sheng was furious seeing her weakened state.
He could sense that if Acoley died, the 【Fire Maiden】 card would shatter.
Thinking of her classmates who, for the sake of so-called fa, wanted to cause her death.
“She has a fever…”
Luo Sheng gently touched her forehead, his brows slightly furrowed, and casually activated the 【Holy Light Technique】 card he obtained today to heal her body.
Unfortunately, the level of the Holy Light Technique wasn’t high, only able to treat fatal wounds and forcibly sustain life. As for scars and the like, he had to hope Acoley would recover on her own.
However, Luo Sheng had brought a travel backpack, which didn’t lack dicine. He gave her a few fever-reducing pills with hot glucose water.
Shortly after, the girl began to sweat slightly, her body temperature tended towards normal, and her breathing was no longer chaotic.
Luo Sheng took out a blanket to cover her, then started writing a letter in the dark, afterwards placing the Evergreen Vine Wand beside her, and began to ditate.
It wasn’t until the sky began to lighten that Luo Sheng left, full of energy.
……
On a bright morning.
Acoley opened her hazy eyes, looking at the dazzling morning light.
She seed to have not slept so comfortably for several days, feeling much more energetic, and her body was also warm, no longer bone-chillingly cold.
Soon she noticed sothing was amiss.
Her body was covered with a thick blanket, and she jumped up instantly, like a startled rabbit, her face alert.
But she found no one nearby, only freshly cooked food, a letter, and a wand imbued with magical power.
“Did he save ?”
Acoley’s face showed confusion, while also recalling what happened last night. During her unconsciousness, she could feel soone taking ticulous care of her.
She beca more certain it was that cute-looking boy who bought all her matches that night, secretly gave her gold coins, and now this.
Especially this letter, still written in that childish handwriting.
However, the opening made her cry. The first sentence read: “You’re too weak!”
Acoley was on the verge of tears but continued reading. Apart from briefly describing how the magic beasts from last night were cleared, it also ntioned gifting her a wand, hoping she would beco stronger and no longer be a girl curled up in a corner.
“Who are you really…”
The bottom of the letter gave only one answer: Traveler.
“Traveler? Well, perhaps we’ll et again soday.” Acoley muttered, no longer dwelling on Luo Sheng’s identity, but carefully picking up the wand, treasuring it greatly.
Tears couldn’t help but flow down her cheeks.
Perhaps it was the joy of escaping from a desperate situation!
……
anwhile, Luo Sheng hadn’t left the card world, but headed towards Acoley’s academy.
He was now fuming.
His card maiden had been bullied, and as her Card Master, he naturally felt angry.
