Chapter 1: Global Demon Cards, Awakening the Life-Bound Demon Card!

"Students, the time has come for you to awaken your first life-bound Demon Card and officially become Demon Card Masters!"

Life-bound Demon Card? What is that?

Su Chen only felt dizzy, having no idea what was happening.

Teacher Liang on the podium continued, "For your first life-bound card, it is best to choose from the mainstream schools that countless predecessors have practiced and proven over the past thousand years."

"For example, the Card-Summoning Battle Pet school, the elemental sprite routes of various attributes which have the highest number of awakened users, or low-tier fierce beasts like the Armored Dragon or Wind-Shadow Leopard."

"Or the less populated Life-Bound Treasure school, where you nurture one or several pieces of equipment to directly amplify your own cultivation."

"While these schools may not have outstanding combat power at the same tier, if you follow the Demon Card manuals circulating in the market step-by-step, you still have a chance to enter the ranks of high-tier Demon Card Masters."

Looking at the familiar yet strange classroom, Su Chen felt a sense of disbelief.

He was still Su Chen, but no longer the unremarkable top student Su Chen he once was.

He accepted the memories in his mind.

As it turned out, he was no longer in his original world.

In this world, source energy had revived, fierce beasts ran rampant, and the strong among Demon Card Masters carved out regions to build cities and defend against the beasts!

And Demon Cards were a power that could only be used by humans!

In this world, Demon Cards had become tightly integrated with human civilization.

From the start of school, institutions began teaching a series of knowledge including Demon Card creation, awakening, advancement, and source energy arrays.

And Su Chen was an ordinary student in the graduating class of the Third High School of Yanhuo City.

Humans who reached the age could head to the Awakening Grounds to awaken their life-bound Demon Card.

While awakening the life-bound Demon Card, one had to input as much detailed information as possible, or rather, the settings and background world.

The more detailed the information and content, the easier it was to succeed.

And the resulting life-bound Demon Card would be more vivid.

After organizing the knowledge about life-bound cards and Demon Card Masters in his memory, Su Chen's heart was filled with irrepressible ecstasy!

Because his mind was filled with a massive amount of information on fantasy world works obtained from another world!

So, could he use these fictional works to awaken the various fantasy characters from his past life?

While Su Chen was distracted, the teacher on the podium continued to speak:

"Original life-bound Demon Cards have an extremely high failure rate with every advancement."

"All mature Demon Card schools now have only gradually matured after the exploration of several generations!"

"Outside the walls, fierce beasts are eyeing us covetously, their desire to destroy our human race never dies. We have no time to waste several generations researching new routes; we can only pour all our strength into the development of the new generation!"

"Even if your family background is poor, you must choose those mature mainstream schools. Never gamble on original Demon Cards just to save money, do you understand?"

"Understood!" the students replied in unison.

Receiving the loud response from the students, Teacher Liang was very satisfied and continued, "Once you awaken your life-bound Demon Card, you will all officially become Bronze One-Star Demon Card Masters."

"In the future, you will all become the fresh blood for humanity to fight against the fierce beasts!"

"Therefore, Teacher Liang hopes that when you make your choices, you will be cautious, cautious, and even more cautious!"

Teacher Liang took a sip of water, his tone becoming gentler.

"Mainstream life-bound Demon Cards, although their potential is on the lower side, have been deduced and calculated by countless generations of human experts, so these life-bound Demon Cards can all advance steadily."

"As for original Demon Cards, because the advancement routes are unknown, the difficulty of advancement is extremely high. Even if you create a powerful original Demon Card, it is very likely you will be stuck at a low tier for life, unable to advance."

Listening to Teacher Liang's earnest advice, Su Chen had other thoughts in his mind.

If people dared to create original Demon Cards in this world without them being perfected, wasn't failure inevitable?

But he was different; he had the backing of fantasy settings from the films and television of another world. It would be a pity not to use such resources!

However, he was about to undergo his life-bound card awakening, so he did indeed need to plan carefully.

"The first life-bound Demon Card determines the potential and development for a long time to come, so what should I choose?" Su Chen rested his chin on his hand, feeling troubled.

Because the power that the first Bronze-tier life-bound Demon Card could carry was limited, he had to choose a character who wasn't too strong in the early stages but had great potential.

"It's best to choose a character who can grow stronger in stages!"

"Growing stronger in stages, growing stronger in stages..."

Su Chen pondered, and people or objects from countless works flashed through his mind.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"That's it, Digimon!"

The Digimon in the Digimon world all had several growth stages, and the difference in strength between these stages could be extremely vast!

Su Chen thought of Gatomon from Digimon.

As a Champion-level Digimon, Gatomon possessed combat power exceeding other Champion-level Digimon, and also had evolution forms—Angewomon and Ophanimon.

Both its combat power and appearance were top-tier; it was absolutely the best choice for his first life-bound Demon Card!

"Decided, my first life-bound Demon Card will be Gatomon!"

Don't let Gatomon's cute appearance in the original work fool you; it looked harmless to humans and animals.

When it came to its true combat power, it could beat a whole crowd of Champion-level Digimon!

Its potential was immeasurable!

On the podium, the teacher was still explaining all the precautions regarding awakening card masters.

"We have discussed before that the quality of Demon Cards is divided into White Common, Green Excellent, Blue Rare, Purple Epic, and Orange Legendary."

"Actually, above Orange Legendary, it is said there are even higher Demon Card qualities, but those are still too far away for you."

Although Su Chen had already made his decision, he was still listening carefully.

Teacher Liang spoke earnestly:

"Students, you are currently in the Bronze stage, so naturally, you can only awaken Bronze-stage life-bound cards."

"Most people in our class should be using mainstream Demon Card manuals, so the life-bound Demon Cards you awaken will mostly be of White Common quality."

"Although the starting point of such Demon Cards is low, the advantage is that they can advance steadily."

"The teacher hopes that you will all successfully awaken your life-bound Demon Cards and become Demon Card Masters!"

Teacher Liang paused, his tone suddenly taking on a hint of tragedy:

"Two hundred years ago, a beast tide erupted, causing devastating casualties to the human race, which faced the threat of extinction at every moment."

"Predecessors explored the path of the Demon Card Master, allowing humanity to have the power to resist fierce beasts, stabilizing the situation and giving the human race hope for survival!"

"Unfortunately, the good times lasted less than a hundred years. The fierce beasts' desire to destroy our human race never died; they launched a massive offensive again, starting a war of aggression and destruction against humanity! More than half of the human race became food for the fierce beasts!"

"Fortunately, human experts stepped up in the face of danger, building cities to resist the enemy, and once again preserved the seeds of hope for the human race!"

"Over these two hundred years, humanity has faced the threat of annihilation many times!"

"Now, there are still countless human Demon Card Masters shedding their blood on the front lines!"

"Students, you must always remember that the comfortable life you have now was bought with the lives of countless Demon Card Masters!"

All the students fell silent, and even Su Chen's expression turned solemn.

These human predecessors gave everything for the survival of the human race; they were respectable and could not be desecrated in the slightest.

"I have already stated all the key points. I sincerely hope that every student can awaken a life-bound card that suits them!"

Teacher Liang lowered his head to check his watch.

"Now, it is time to awaken your first life-bound card and officially advance to become Bronze-tier Card Masters!"

"Let's go!" ===== CHAPTER 3 =====
