Chapter 23

Like oil meeting fire, the Hunting Man-Eating Flower ignited by the dragon flames instantly burst into terrifying, blazing infernos, resembling a torch.

No matter how the Hunting Man-Eating Flower struggled, it was firmly restrained beneath the dragon claws of the Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon, its life force burned away while still alive.

Boom!

The corpse, stripped of all life force, was tossed onto the ground at will by the Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon. For this ferocious beast, which could easily become an overlord in the Home of Spirit Beasts, the Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon did not even spare it a glance.

"As expected of a dragon-type, this domineering aura is far beyond what ordinary Magic Card spirits can compare to." Inside the City Lord's Mansion, seeing the Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon resolve the Hunting Man-Eating Flower in just a few seconds, Gu Fa laughed with immense joy.

"Damn it, even if you're excited, this dragon-type Magic Card spirit isn't yours," Zhao Chengyuan and Da Baiman said unhappily.

"It's indeed not mine, but who told you Lu Li is a student of our Third High?" Gu Fa naturally didn't fear the two, retorting directly with a single sentence.

So infuriating! This Gu Fa is really getting more and more arrogant! I really want to use a Magic Card to blast this guy away.

Retorted by Gu Fa, the expressions of Zhao Chengyuan and Da Baiman became even more unpleasant! Especially since the more outstanding Lu Li's performance was, the more it proved just how blind the admissions teachers were back then.

No, after going back, I must fiercely lash out at the admissions teacher from back then!

"Alright, alright, no matter what, Lu Li is a Magic Card Master of our Cangling City. The stronger his strength, the better it is for us," seeing this, Cang Cang Cang Fenghua quickly spoke up.

Anyway, whether Lu Li is a student of the Third High, or a student of the First or Second High, they all come from Cangling City; he, Cang Cang Cang Fenghua, will never lose out.

"That's right," Yu Yu Haojia also comforted, "The higher Lu Li's talent and potential, the more it shows that our development over these years hasn't taken the wrong path."

Yu Yu Haojia once again felt that his decision to make an exception and recruit Lu Li into the Magic Card Association was extremely wise. Look, how good his eye for talent is!

What the hell! Is that how you people talk? Do you call this comforting?

Zhao Chengyuan and Da Baiman were so angry in their hearts; if it weren't for the fact that they couldn't beat them, the two would definitely flip the table.

"Alright! The Finish Finish Time for the Home of Spirit Beasts to be open this Finish Finish Time is also coming to an end, and we should go and pick up these little guys." Ignoring the resentful gazes of Zhao Chengyuan and Da Baiman, Cang Cang Cang Fenghua stood up, but the next second, he froze there, staring fixedly at the screen in front of him.

"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Gu Fa and the others were puzzled.

Da Baiman, whose mind was the sharpest, looked at the screen again and couldn't help but gasp: "Black Gate! How is that possible!"

42. It's All About the Heartbeat!

Black Gate!

Once these two words were uttered, Yu Yu Haojia and the others couldn't care about anything else; they turned to the screen simultaneously, their eyes shrinking fiercely.

On the screen, a large number of black particles were continuously overflowing and spreading from the corpse of the Hunting Man-Eating Flower, gradually forming a crack.

A few seconds later, the continuously expanding space-Finish Finish Time crack finally evolved into a deep black gate connecting to an interdimensional space.

"It really is a Black Gate, but why would a Black Gate appear in the Home of Spirit Beasts at this Finish Finish Time?" Yu Yu Haojia's expression was solemn. For any dimensional plane, the appearance of a Black Gate meant a sharp increase in danger.

Not to mention that inside the Home of Spirit Beasts right now, there were still young-generation Magic Card Masters of Cangling City like Lu Li, Bei Bei Hanyun, and Wang Ping.

If something happened to these few, then the young generation of Cangling City would face a generational gap. This statement was not an exaggeration at all, and it was something they could hardly bear!

The timing of this Black Gate's appearance was truly too sensitive.

"The appearance of the Black Gate might be related to Lu Li," Cang Cang Cang Fenghua took a deep breath, "Or rather, it's related to the battle between the Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon and the Hunting Man-Eating Flower."

The crowd was stunned, but they reacted in the next second.

The rules of dimensional planes are not complete, which leads to the space of dimensional planes being relatively more fragile compared to the main plane of the Magic Card civilization.

Why is it that in the Home of Spirit Beasts, the highest level of ferocious beasts is only six-star? It is because the spatial strength here can only withstand the power of a six-star level at most. Once power exceeding this level appears, it may cause spatial instability, thereby leading to the appearance of space-Finish Finish Time cracks and the generation of Black Gates.

Although the battle between the Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon and the Hunting Man-Eating Flower was short, its intensity had reached the critical point that the Home of Spirit Beasts could withstand, eventually triggering this spatial fluctuation and leading to the appearance of the space-Finish Finish Time crack and the Black Gate.

Damn! This kid Lu Li is playing a roller coaster with them!

"Let's go, we'll enter the Home of Spirit Beasts now." Without further delay, Cang Cang Cang Fenghua opened the portal to enter the Home of Spirit Beasts, and everyone entered one after another.

When the Black Gate appears, the space of the dimensional plane will also become weak. During this period, even if Cang Cang Cang Fenghua and the others forcibly enter, it will not cause a worse impact.

"Chengyuan, Baiman, you two go and pick up your students first," upon entering the Home of Spirit Beasts, Cang Cang Cang Fenghua immediately arranged, "Although currently only the location where Lu Li is has a Black Gate, it's not certain whether other places will also be affected because of the battle just now."

"Just in case, you should pick up the others first."

"Understood, City Lord." Looking at each other, Zhao Chengyuan and Da Baiman nodded. No one would have thought that this trip to the Home of Spirit Beasts would actually have such a special turn of events as a Black Gate.

But they didn't say anything more, flying in a hurry towards the direction where Bei Bei Hanyun and Wang Ping were. Although they couldn't compare to Lu Li, they were still the hope of their First and Second High this year.

After a Magic Card Master's strength reaches the Monarch Realm, they can fly through the air; for the two at the Emperor Realm, it was naturally a piece of cake.

"Let's go too." While Zhao Chengyuan and Da Baiman set off, Cang Cang Cang Fenghua and the others also flew towards Lu Li's location. Lu Li's importance was even above the other four.

[Black Gate]

Introduction: A special product evolved from a space-Finish Finish Time crack caused by the breaking of spatial strength, connecting to an unknown interdimensional space, and also a place where extraterritorial ferocious beasts live and appear.

"Is this a Black Gate?" Even Cang Cang Cang Fenghua and the others discovered the abnormality of the Black Gate. Lu Li, who was at the center of the abnormality, naturally couldn't fail to notice the changes in his surroundings. Under the system's prompt, Lu Li soon understood that this abnormal Fallen Fallen Mode Fallen Mode Change originated from the Black Gate that Cang Cang Cang Fenghua had mentioned before: "Should I consider myself lucky or unlucky?"

The corpse of the Hunting Man-Eating Flower that fell under the dragon flames had already disappeared, leaving only an ominous Black Gate emitting an aura.

A few seconds later, a limb stretched out from the Black Gate, followed by an extraterritorial ferocious beast with an appearance like an insect, which entered the Home of Spirit Beasts through the Black Gate.

[Abyssal Hunter]

Race: Extraterritorial Ferocious Beast

Quality: Rare

Level: Seven-star

Skills: Predation, Absorption, Dimensional Travel, Bone-Eating Insect Swarm

[Description: The Abyssal Hunter has an extremely strong perception of Black Gates. Whenever a new Black Gate is born, the Abyssal Hunter will immediately break into the dimensional plane through Dimensional Travel and continuously collect treasures within the dimensional plane.]

The appearance of the Abyssal Hunter was like a super-giant mutated beetle. As soon as it entered the Home of Spirit Beasts, the rows of compound eyes on this extraterritorial ferocious beast locked onto the Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon and Lu Li. Dragon-types are indeed very strong, but the Abyssal Hunter, which has been traveling outside dimensional spaces for years, was clearly not afraid of the Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon.

The carapace on its back, emitting a ghostly light, unfolded, and a swarm of bone-eating insects the size of fists flew out from it, attacking the Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon and Lu Li. From a distance, it looked like a black curtain, but up close, one could see the dense swarm of insects, which made one's scalp tingle; it could be called a paradise for those with trypophobia.

"Seven-star Rare, Abyssal Hunter!" Taking a deep breath, Lu Li's eyes swept over the information of this extraterritorial ferocious beast, and a trace of caution flashed across his face. The Abyssal Hunter in front of him had already reached the seven-star level, its level even surpassing the Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon: "Attack!"

At the same Finish Finish Time, the Dark Magician Girl also appeared under Lu Li's summoning. Without needing Lu Li's explanation, she already understood the current situation.

Waving the magic staff in her hand, the Magic Spellbook appeared, and the Dark Magic Inheritance was activated. Her momentum soared to the peak, and a blast of Dark Magic, under the control of the Dark Magician Girl, blasted away the bone-eating insect swarm attacking Lu Li.

Turning her staff, she pointed it directly at the Abyssal Hunter, and an even more violent Dark Magic Burst attack blasted towards this extraterritorial ferocious beast.

High in the sky, the Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon also launched an attack simultaneously. Scorching flames condensed in its mouth, turning into Star Flame Bullets to annihilate the bone-eating insect swarm, and with intense residual power, it blasted onto the Abyssal Hunter, kicking up bursts of dust.

The speed at which the magic power in his body was dropping suddenly accelerated, but Lu Li's face remained calm; now was not the Finish Finish Time to be stingy with magic power.

In the distance, sensing the fluctuations of the battle, Cang Cang Cang Fenghua and the others accelerated again.

"Hiss!"

The dust dissipated. The Abyssal Hunter, hit by the Star Flame Bullets, only had sporadic flames remaining on its body; other than that, there were no further injuries.

This was still because the dragon flames were powerful. If it were replaced by ordinary flames, it would not be enough to leave injuries on the Abyssal Hunter. After all, there was a whole major level difference between the Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon and the Abyssal Hunter.

"Roar!" Seeing this, the Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon launched an attack on the Abyssal Hunter again, and the Dark Magician Girl also joined the battle holding her staff.

For a Finish Finish Time, bursts of terrifying pressure came from the depths of the Home of Spirit Beasts, and countless ferocious beasts fled from the depths of the Home of Spirit Beasts one after another; there, they had natural enemies they feared.

"Holy crap, did this Home of Spirit Beasts take medicine today?" Seeing countless ferocious beasts emerging, Bei Bei Hanyun, Wang Ping, and the others who were still in the Home of Spirit Beasts turned pale, and they hurriedly found a place to hide.

43. I'll Tear Your Crow's Mouth Sooner or Later

"Abyssal Hunter?" Seeing the two sides fighting from afar, Cang Cang Cang Fenghua and the others couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief after seeing the extraterritorial ferocious beast that broke into the Home of Spirit Beasts through the Black Gate.

Extraterritorial ferocious beasts are also divided into levels of strength. The Abyssal Hunter is considered a relatively easy one to deal with among the group of extraterritorial ferocious beasts.

Of course, this is also because the level of this dimensional plane, the Home of Spirit Beasts, is not too high; otherwise, it might not necessarily be the lowest-level Abyssal Hunter that appeared.

"Being able to use two six-star Magic Cards to maneuver with a seven-star Abyssal Hunter further proves that Lu Li's Magic Card spirit is not simple." Yu Yu Haojia couldn't help but sigh.

But just as he finished speaking, Yu Yu Haojia was stunned to see the Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon being taken out by a sneak attack of predation from the Abyssal Hunter.

In an instant, Yu Yu Haojia only felt his face burning. He had just finished praising Lu Li's Magic Card spirit for not being simple, and the other party was taken out by the Abyssal Hunter in the blink of an eye.

No, can you act like that? You are at least a dragon-type, even if you are sneak-attacked, you shouldn't be killed in one hit!

"Damn! Old man Yu, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute." Also seeing this scene, Gu Fa glared at Yu Yu Haojia. This crow's mouth, sooner or later, he would sew it shut.

Cang Cang Cang Fenghua was also speechless. Although they had already seen the battlefield, it would take another few seconds before they could arrive.

In those few seconds, heaven knows what changes would happen on the battlefield. Now they could only hope that the remaining Dark Magician Girl on the field could rely on her versatile means to hold on until they entered the scene.

Compared to the Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon, Cang Cang Cang Fenghua had more knowledge of the Dark Magician Girl's abilities, and still felt that she could do it.

"No!" Cang Cang Cang Fenghua, who was constantly paying attention to the changes on the battlefield, said suddenly: "Lu Li's Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon hasn't turned back into a Magic Card!"

Not turning back into a Magic Card meant that the Magic Card spirit was still alive! Hearing Cang Cang Cang Fenghua's low cry, Gu Fa and Yu Yu Haojia hurriedly looked at the battlefield, and the eyes of the three shrank fiercely again!

"It's Finish Finish Time to end this battle." Looking at the Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon "resolved" by the Abyssal Hunter, Lu Li's expression was calm.

The strength gap between seven-star and six-star is obvious. Even if the Dark Magician Girl has the blessing of equipment cards and joins forces with the Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon, she can only resist the Abyssal Hunter's attacks.

After all, they are not true seven-star Magic Card spirits, and the Abyssal Hunter is not an ordinary seven-star ferocious beast.

Besides that, even if the two joined forces to maneuver with the Abyssal Hunter, Lu Li still had to consider the problem of magic power consumption; this was his current shortcoming.
