Chapter 25
This also made them understand once again that none of Lu Li's Magic Card spirits are related to the word "ordinary".
"Lu Li wouldn't be thinking of demolishing the Home of Spirit Beasts for me, would he?" Cang Cang Cang Fenghua said with a pained expression.
The maximum upper limit that the Home of Spirit Beasts can withstand is six-star, and both the seven-star Red-Eyes Black Dragon and the Abyssal Hunter have far exceeded the upper limit of this dimensional plane.
If the two were allowed to fight with their hands untied, it would cause irreparable damage and impact on the Home of Spirit Beasts.
Shaking his head, Cang Cang Cang Fenghua waved his hand towards the battlefield, and the space, which seemed like glass and could shatter at any Finish Finish Time, gradually stabilized.
Unlike facing the Star Flame Bullet, where only dragon flames flowed on the surface, under the burning of the Black Flame Bullet, the Abyssal Hunter let out a shrill scream, rolling on the ground and struggling everywhere.
On the Abyssal Hunter's body, bone-eating insect swarms that were on fire kept falling off. These falling bone-eating insect swarms didn't even have a chance to make a sound; from the moment they were affected by the dragon flames, they had already been burned to nothing, leaving only patches of charred ash, highlighting the strength and dominance of the dragon flames.
The places where the Abyssal Hunter rolled were all ignited by the dragon flames, forming a sea of fire and a desperate situation. Even the Black Gate was also stained with dragon flames.
However, with the intervention of Cang Cang Cang Fenghua's power, the scale of the sea of fire was always suppressed within a certain range and could not spread outward.
But even so, through the indirect contact with the dragon flames, Cang Cang Cang Fenghua couldn't help but look sideways again. The destructive power of this black flame was enough to approach an eight-star Magic Card spirit; even if an eight-star existence encountered it, they would be injured if they were not careful.
Finish Finish Time passed, and after more than ten seconds, the Abyssal Hunter stopped struggling. Its originally huge insect body shrank violently under the burning of the Black Flame Bullet, leaving only a quarter of a charred corpse.
Seeing this, Lu Li raised his hand and cast a Stripping Technique on the charred corpse of the Abyssal Hunter. After all, it was the first seven-star ferocious beast he had killed, and it was an extraterritorial ferocious beast, so it still had some commemorative significance.
Besides that, Lu Li was very concerned about the introduction of the Abyssal Hunter. These Abyssal Hunters would continuously collect treasures in the dimensional plane every Finish Finish Time they entered a new dimensional plane through a Black Gate. He just didn't know if the Stripping Technique could strip these treasures out.
[Stripping successful, obtained Insect Heart!]
[Stripping successful, obtained Doll Key!]
[Stripping successful, obtained Night Veil!]
[Insect Heart: Extremely rare, a special material that can only be born after long-term gestation in insect-type ferocious beasts, containing power that allows insect-type creatures to go further.]
[Doll Key: In the long river of Finish Finish Time, there once existed a doll world, in which there was a key that could control all dolls. The holder can release the true power of all dolls.]
[Night Veil: A veil once worn by the mysterious Night Queen to cover her peerless face. The veil contains strong dark power, and once released, it is enough to subvert the cognition of all things.]
In addition to the Insect Heart, Doll Key, and Night Veil, the Abyssal Hunter also dropped quite a few materials, but the most precious were naturally these three special materials.
"Three special materials? It can be considered a bumper harvest." Looking at the prism-shaped Insect Heart in his hand emitting a strange luster; the Doll Key, which was not much different from an ordinary key but emitted golden light; and the Night Veil, which emitted a ghostly light and mystery, a trace of satisfaction flashed across Lu Li's face: "As expected of a hunter that often collects treasures from dimensional planes!"
After pondering for a moment, Lu Li put all the materials into the Magic Card Editor. When he saw these special materials, a vague idea flashed through his mind, but unfortunately, the current environment was not suitable for further investigation.
The Black Gate not far away, after the death of the Abyssal Hunter, only remained half a person's height. The dragon flames originally attached to it were still burning continuously. Under the destruction of the dragon flames, the Black Gate was shrinking continuously at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Looking at the situation, it might not take long for the Black Gate to dissipate completely.
"By the way, can this thing be collected as a material?" Lu Li set his sights on the Black Gate. After all, this could be considered a special prop for summoning a BOSS, and there might be unexpected gains.
While thinking, Lu Li subconsciously threw a Stripping Technique at the Black Gate. Whether it worked or not, trying it out wouldn't hurt.
[Stripping successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining Black Core Fragment *1!]
[Black Core Fragment: A special energy item filled with interdimensional energy that maintains the existence of the Black Gate. Collecting seven Black Core Fragments can synthesize one Black Core. It is rumored that after collecting seven Black Cores, the true function of the Black Core will be revealed.]
"Damn! Are you playing a raising game here! And it's the Dragon Ball version!" Seeing the introduction of the Black Core Fragment, Lu Li couldn't help but complain.
Collecting seven Black Core Fragments can combine into one Black Core; then you have to collect seven Black Cores again before the true function is displayed. Damn, this round, at the very least, you have to resolve nearly fifty Black Gates.
46. Nothing But Satisfaction
Lu Li was truly speechless about the introduction of the Black Core Fragment.
He even felt that if he wanted to obtain a complete Black Core, he would probably have to run to an interdimensional space outside the Magic Card civilization to have a chance to complete such a high-difficulty collection task in a short Finish Finish Time.
But clearly, running to an interdimensional space with his current strength was not much different from seeking death. The Abyssal Hunter that was just killed by the Red-Eyes Black Dragon was the lowest-level scum if placed in an interdimensional space.
In the interdimensional space, ten-star ferocious beasts walk everywhere, eight-star and nine-star are worse than dogs, and seven-star level is really at the bottom of the biological chain if placed in the interdimensional space. Even some long-established Magic Card Masters have to make full preparations before daring to go to the interdimensional space.
If you don't check the almanac when you go out and your luck is not good enough, you might be taken out by a passing top-tier extraterritorial ferocious beast as soon as you enter the interdimensional space.
Of course, besides going to the interdimensional space, Lu Li could actually obtain a sufficient number of Black Core Fragments within the Magic Card civilization.
First, as long as he can continuously encounter the remaining forty-eight Black Gates and can successfully resolve them all, he can complete this collection task.
But this luck, even if the Son of Destiny came, he would have to kneel.
As for the second point, it is naturally to obtain Black Gate fragments through trading. The Magic Card civilization has existed for such a long Finish Finish Time, and Lu Li doesn't believe that he is the only one who will have the idea just now.
It's possible that someone within the Magic Card civilization already knows the true function of the Black Core, and it might even be an official organization.
After all, judging from Cang Cang Cang Fenghua's previous performance, they still attach great importance to the Black Gate, and the Black Core comes from the Black Gate, so it is definitely a major research object.
However, obtaining Black Core Fragments through trading is not easy. At the very least, in the Magic Card Association's trading system, Lu Li did not see any trading related to Black Core Fragments.
The Black Gate, which lost the energy support of the Black Core Fragment, collapsed and shrank at a very fast speed, and finally disappeared.
"So, in fact, as long as the Black Core Fragment is stripped out, the Black Gate will also be resolved." Seeing this scene, a realization arose in Lu Li's heart: "However, wanting to get close to the Black Gate is not an easy thing."
Recalling the battle just now, until the moment of death, the Abyssal Hunter was still guarding the side of the Black Gate, which shows how much these extraterritorial ferocious beasts attach importance to the Black Gate.
To destroy the Black Gate, one must resolve the extraterritorial ferocious beasts that descend through the Black Gate, which returns to the root of the problem.
"Lu Li, how is it?" After confirming that the space-Finish Finish Time crack in the collapsed Black Gate had completely closed, the three of Cang Cang Cang Fenghua shifted their attention to the Red-Eyes Black Dragon. As for the Black Core Fragment in Lu Li's hand, they didn't pay too much attention to it.
Just as Lu Li guessed, the Magic Card Masters of the Magic Card civilization indeed already know the existence of Black Core Fragments and Black Cores, and there are even quite a few Black Cores stored within the official organization. Of course, quite a few Black Core Fragments have also fallen into the hands of free Magic Card Masters.
Compared to the Black Core Fragments, the three of Cang Cang Cang Fenghua are currently more concerned about Lu Li's Magic Card spirit.
Observing the Red-Eyes Black Dragon at close range, one can feel the arrogance and dominance of this dragon-type even more.
Even as Emperors and Masters, the three of Cang Cang Cang Fenghua couldn't help but envy Lu Li at this moment. As a Magic Card Master, there is indeed no one who can refuse such a dragon-type Magic Card spirit.
"It's okay, I just feel a bit weak." Hearing Cang Cang Cang Fenghua's words, Lu Li replied casually, and then put away the Black Core Fragment.
When the Red-Eyes Black Dragon was fighting the Abyssal Hunter, Lu Li had already noticed the arrival of the three.
As for why the three appeared here, as long as you think about it a little, you know it must be because of the Black Gate.
Whether it was the Abyssal Hunter or the Black Gate, they had already been resolved by himself. Currently, with two Masters and one Emperor by his side, Lu Li felt that if any ferocious beast didn't have eyes, it would probably turn into fertilizer for the Home of Spirit Beasts in the next second.
Thinking of this, Lu Li directly summoned the Dark Magician Girl and the Red-Eyes Black Dragon back into his body.
Although it only took the blink of an eye from the appearance of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon to resolving the Abyssal Hunter and destroying the Black Gate, the magic power consumed in this process was truly too terrifying; it was simply not a weight that a Battle General Realm could bear.
Even after summoning the two Magic Card spirits back, Lu Li still felt as if he had been squeezed dry, and his footsteps were a bit unsteady.
However, while summoning the two Magic Card spirits back, Lu Li felt the gazes of the three of Cang Cang Cang Fenghua fall on him, carrying a kind of indescribable resentment.
Noticing this, Lu Li's eyelids couldn't help but jump. These old guys wouldn't be planning to cause trouble for him, would they?
"You kid, you really gave us a scare." Shaking his head, Gu Fa was the first to speak, and the eyes looking at Lu Li were nothing but satisfaction.
Lu Li's talent on the path of Magic Card Masters is absolutely astonishing. Among the many Magic Card Masters Gu Fa knows, and in his life experience, Lu Li's talent can be said to be number one.
Even the genius generals and high-level Magic Card Masters he met on the front line, Gu Fa didn't think Lu Li would be much worse than them.
Even because of his age, Lu Li has greater potential and a broader space than the Magic Card Masters on the front line.
As long as Lu Li can grow steadily, their Ancient Kingdom will definitely have one more Magic Card Master capable of leading the Primordial Era! He has this premonition!
"Uh." Hearing this, Lu Li rubbed his nose. He probably understood that Gu Fa was referring to the Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon and the Red-Eyes Black Dragon, but he didn't think there was anything to it.
In Lu Li's plan, the Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon was just the first dragon-type Magic Card, not the last. In the future, the dragon-type Magic Cards he makes will only increase.
"Although the Black Gate has disappeared, after experiencing the battle just now, the overall space of the Home of Spirit Beasts is still not very stable, so this trip to the dimensional plane needs to end early." After Gu Fa, Cang Cang Cang Fenghua also spoke.
Although he had a lot to say to Lu Li, this was clearly not the right place.
Regarding this, Lu Li didn't have any other opinions. Today was originally the last day to stay in the Home of Spirit Beasts. He had already collected quite a few suitable materials, and his magic power was at the bottom because of the battle with the Abyssal Hunter. Ending early or ending late didn't actually make much difference.
After the four left, the Home of Spirit Beasts returned to calm, and the ferocious beasts that had fled also returned to their respective territories. As Finish Finish Time passed, the internal space of the Home of Spirit Beasts gradually stabilized, waiting for the next opening.
47. So Weird! I'm Shivering with Cold!
Returning to the City Lord's Mansion through the portal, Lu Li saw that Wang Ping, Bei Bei Hanyun, and the others had returned a step earlier, and standing beside them were the two principals, Zhao Chengyuan and Da Baiman.
Clearly, the two principals had just gone to meet their students, which is why they didn't act with Cang Cang Cang Fenghua and the others.
But it's also true, with the Black Gate appearing in the Home of Spirit Beasts, Zhao Chengyuan and Da Baiman naturally couldn't let their students continue to stay in it. Who knows if a second Black Gate would be born.
The Black Gate born in the dimensional plane doesn't have a limit on the number.
However, the expressions of Bei Bei Hanyun, Wang Ping, and the others, who were hesitant to speak after seeing him appear, made Lu Li feel a bit strange.
"This Finish Finish Time, because of the appearance of the Black Gate, the trip to the dimensional plane ended early. The City Lord's Mansion will reissue some materials as compensation for the early end based on your performance in the Home of Spirit Beasts." In the hall, Cang Cang Cang Fenghua made a statement that excited everyone.
Although the trip to the dimensional plane ended early, they had already gained enough, and even if the City Lord's Mansion didn't reissue any rewards, they wouldn't dare to say anything more.
But now Cang Cang Cang Fenghua still gave compensation, and they didn't need to bear extra risks. This could be said to be an unexpected joy, and no one would refuse. Especially for Wang Ping, Bei Bei Hanyun, and the others, it was even more so. They still had lingering fears about the dragon roar and pressure just now.
Anyway, they definitely wouldn't enter any dimensional plane again in a short Finish Finish Time. It was too damn dangerous. Encountering such an exciting thing the first Finish Finish Time they entered a dimensional plane, Wang Ping and the others felt that they were strong enough not to have any psychological trauma.
"The college entrance exam is coming soon. I hope you can all achieve good results and not let us down." Seeing everyone's performance, Cang Cang Cang Fenghua encouraged.
"Understood, City Lord." Everyone spoke in unison. Mentioning the college entrance exam, everyone's eyes were full of fighting spirit. After all, the college entrance exam is related to their future development, so they have to attach importance to it.
"Lu Li, come with us." Everyone dispersed one after another, but Cang Cang Cang Fenghua kept Lu Li alone, and also staying behind were Yu Yu Haojia and Gu Fa.
Seeing this, Zhao Chengyuan and Da Baiman, who probably knew the reason, looked at each other, both feeling very helpless.
Although they had guessed the reason why Cang Cang Cang Fenghua kept Lu Li, who told their own students not to be competitive?
