Chapter 340

Even when scaled up to the entire Ancient Kingdom, or even the entire Magic Card civilization, the number of Magic Card Spirits possessing a "Slaying" skill is extremely limited.

Ultimately, this is because the priority of the Slaying skill is extremely high, even higher than that of Invincibility skills!

As long as the Slaying effect is triggered, even Invincibility will be wiped out.

However, this does not mean that skills with Slaying effects are the strongest; if Slaying encounters a life-extending skill, its effectiveness is mostly discounted.

After all, no matter how strong the Slaying effect is, it can only slay one life, while life-extending skills guarantee at least two lives to start with.

Even if one is slain, there is still a second one.

Therefore, no matter how awesome a skill's effect is, it still depends on compatibility; if the compatibility is right, one will have more initiative and advantage in battle.

But it is undeniable that compared to other types of skills, Slaying skills indeed have a much greater advantage.

"Besides the Fierce Spirit King, there are many other Fierce Spirits here. If you don't speed up, I'm afraid we'll waste a lot of Finish Finish Time before we can set off for the core of the Bone Burial Ground to receive the inheritance."

"I know that too," Yan Yuexin said, her small face inevitably turning bitter again upon hearing Lu Li's reminder: "But the problem is that my current magic power recovery speed can't keep up with the consumption speed."

Magic power recovery speed not keeping up with consumption speed is actually a very normal phenomenon for a Magic Card Master, especially during battle.

But the problem is that Yan Yuexin is not currently engaged in any battle; she is just mechanically repeating the action of purifying Fierce Spirits, constantly trapped in a cycle of purification-consumption-recovery, which makes her feel like she is working on an assembly line.

Even so, her magic power has never been full for a single moment, remaining almost entirely below half the whole Finish Finish Time.

The root cause is that the speed at which Lu Li's Magic Card Spirits defeat the Fierce Spirits is too fast; if it were any other team, Yan Yuexin feels it would be absolutely impossible to reach Lu Li's level.

Let alone the teams of other Saint Son and Saint Daughter candidates, even if an Emperor-realm expert came, it would probably be just like this, after all, Lu Li is also an Emperor.

A newly ascended Emperor is still an Emperor!

……

"Why do I feel like Yuexin seems a bit miserable?" In the secluded valley, seeing the Dark Magician Girl cripple the Fierce Spirit King with just a few Black Magic Explosions, Yan Yan Yan Tianlu's brows couldn't help but twitch.

To be honest, he now believes what Lu Li said earlier.

A Super-tier ten-star Fierce Spirit King, crippled just like that, and it seemed to be done with ease. This is something any random Magic Card Spirit can do, especially when the target is only a High-tier nine-star Magic Card Spirit.

A nine-star counter-attacking a ten-star, a High-tier defeating a Super-tier; even if a special skill was used, the Dark Magician Girl's destructive power is still extraordinary.

If those few Black Magic Explosions had landed on other ordinary Fierce Spirits instead of the Fierce Spirit King, it is very likely they would have been finished off rather than just crippled.

At the very least, Yan Yan Yan Tianlu doesn't think the destructive power of the Magic Card Spirits he possessed back then could reach this level.

But then, seeing his daughter's miserable expression, his gaze couldn't help but become very subtle.

I'm afraid that before coming to the Holy See, Yan Yuexin never expected that she would become an assembly line worker during the trial inheritance.

Of course, if other Saint Son and Saint Daughter candidates saw this scene, they would definitely be very envious and would certainly be willing to take Yan Yuexin's place.

It might be a bit tiring, but this is lying down to win! Passing the trial of the Bone Burial Ground and obtaining the inheritance while lying down the whole Finish Finish Time.

It might even be the top-tier inheritance!

One-third of the Fierce Spirits in the Bone Burial Ground, plus one Fierce Spirit King—as long as all these Fierce Spirits are purified, one will definitely be able to obtain the top-tier inheritance.

And the price to pay is merely the cost of magic power consumption.

Of course, it will definitely be very uncomfortable during this period, as the long-term state of magic power depletion will manifest as nausea, dizziness, physical pain, and various other abnormalities for the Magic Card Master.

Usually, at this Finish Finish Time, the Magic Card Master would stop the output of magic power. But in the Bone Burial Ground, there is no way to do that.

As long as one is bound to the Sacred Artifact, magic power will be consumed regardless, not to mention purifying Fierce Spirits.

And Yan Yuexin has managed to adapt to the situation of magic power depletion through her own adaptability, but it definitely won't be comfortable.

Otherwise, Yan Yuexin wouldn't be acting so miserable.

"How are you talking?" Hearing Yan Yan Yan Tianlu's remark, Yan Yan Yan Qinyun couldn't help but roll her eyes at him: "If you could have done this back then, then receiving the inheritance would have been much easier for me."

The more Pure Power obtained, besides having a better chance of obtaining a higher-level inheritance, the process of receiving the inheritance will also become relatively easier.

Rolling her eyes at Yan Yan Yan Tianlu, Yan Yan Yan Qinyun's gaze fell back onto the light screen, the depths of her eyes filled with shock.

As someone who has also participated in the inheritance trial, Yan Yan Yan Qinyun is very clear about how astonishing Lu Li's current performance is.

Even among all the previous sessions, Lu Li's performance can definitely be counted as one of the best!

At the very least, in the history of the Holy See that Yan Yan Yan Qinyun has come into contact with, she has never heard of anyone who could finish off a Fierce Spirit King so easily.

In fact, any session of the trial inheritance where a Fierce Spirit King appeared basically ended up being cut short.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Yan Yuexin can purify the Fierce Spirit King and all the Fierce Spirits present, then the inheritance she receives next will be enough to rank at the forefront of the Holy See's historical trial inheritances!

And this also means that Yan Yuexin's talent will be liberated to a deeper and greater extent!

At this moment, even though the other party is her own daughter, Yan Yan Yan Qinyun still couldn't help but feel envious.

641. The Holy See's surprise, eyeing Lu Li?

Damn it!

After being chided by Yan Yan Yan Qinyun, a bitter smile couldn't help but rise on Yan Yan Yan Tianlu's face; why was he caught in the crossfire like this?

However, Yan Yan Yan Qinyun was right; if he could have done what Lu Li is doing back then, the inheritance Yan Yan Yan Qinyun finally received would have been stronger, and he would have gained more as well.

In the Holy See's trial inheritance, the ones who gain the most are naturally the various Saint Son and Saint Daughter candidates; only after receiving the inheritance can they truly become a Saint Son or Saint Daughter.

Besides that, the Guardian Knights who protect the Saint Son and Saint Daughter candidates can also gain something, and the gains of the Guardian Knights are related to the strength of the inheritance received by the Saint Son and Saint Daughter candidates.

But this is no longer a question of whether he wants to or not, but whether he can do it; even if he tried harder, he couldn't reach Lu Li's level.

He is just an ordinary genius; no matter what, there is a limit. Comparing him to a freak, isn't that clearly making things difficult for him?

"Although I later learned that Lu Li still had many trump cards hidden during the Four Great Academies Exchange Tournament, this kid is hiding too much, right?" Beside Yan Yan Yan Tianlu and Yan Yan Yan Qinyun, Lan Lan Lan Xiatong couldn't help but rub her head, feeling that she hadn't recovered from the shock just now.

"I didn't expect Lu Li to actually succeed." Although he is a Magic Card Master on their side, after watching the battle in the Bone Burial Ground from start to finish, Lan Lan Lan Xiatong's mood is still very complicated.

But the bottom line is that Lu Li is not a Magic Card Master from the Southern Region, nor is he a student of the Traveling Palace, which is the most distressing point for this Traveling Palace Master.

"However, it's actually quite satisfying." Shaking her head, Lan Lan Lan Xiatong's gaze swept across the secluded valley without a trace, and a hint of pleasure gradually appeared at the corners of her mouth.

The distress is only an internal matter of the Ancient Kingdom, but being able to see the incredulous and shocked expressions of the Holy See's people naturally makes one feel pleased.

Especially since it's on the Holy See's home turf, with the Holy See having the home-field advantage, giving them a harsh lesson—this kind of satisfaction is just incredible!

……

"The Fierce Spirit King was actually solved? Am I seeing things!"

"Hiss! This Magic Card Spirit is incredible, relying on nine-star strength to directly overturn a ten-star Fierce Spirit King."

"A High-tier defeating a Super-tier; if I hadn't seen the entire battle process with my own eyes, I would absolutely not believe such a counter-attack."

"It's indeed hard to imagine, and more importantly, I've discovered that until now, I have no impression at all of the Magic Card Spirit summoned by this Ancient Kingdom Guardian Knight."

"Now that you mention it, I've noticed that too."

It is not just Yan Yan Yan Qinyun, Lan Lan Lan Xiatong, and others who are shocked; the ones most shocked by this scene in the secluded valley are undoubtedly the various Popes of the Holy See.

The moment they saw the Fierce Spirit King being broken, they were also stunned, and the surprise in their hearts was far greater than that of the Magic Card Masters from the Ancient Kingdom like Lan Lan Lan Xiatong and Yan Yan Yan Tianlu.

After all, compared to the people from the Ancient Kingdom who already have some understanding of Lu Li, these Popes of the Holy See are seeing such a ruthless Magic Card Master and such a fierce Magic Card Spirit for the first Finish Finish Time!

This cannot be blamed on them; there really isn't a Magic Card Master as fierce as Lu Li in the Holy See, nor is there a Magic Card Spirit like the Dark Magician Girl that possesses various complex abilities, and even has the "Xyz Illusion" to directly lower the target's level.

In fact, what the Holy See and others don't know is that Lan Lan Lan Xiatong and the others also learned of the Dark Magician Girl's existence for the first Finish Finish Time today.

Although when the Fierce Spirit King was downgraded by the Dark Magician Girl, the Popes present had more or less guessed this result; after all, the Dark Magician Girl's performance at the nine-star level is indeed remarkable.

But seeing the Fierce Spirit King actually broken, and broken so easily, the moods of these Popes inevitably became complicated.

The Popes present have at least reached the Immortal Realm in strength; even though the Dark Magician Girl's counter-attack and defeat of the Fierce Spirit King truly gave them a fright, they quickly accepted this fact.

They couldn't not accept it; could they make Finish Finish Time turn back?

Even if it turned back, as long as the Dark Magician Girl has the "Xyz Illusion" skill, and as long as the Fierce Spirit King has no way to break the effect of "Xyz Illusion," the ending would not Fallen Fallen Mode Fallen Mode Change at all.

After accepting this result, the thoughts of these Popes quickly shifted, and the focus of their discussion almost all fell on the Dark Magician Girl...

No matter what, a ten-star Fierce Spirit King belongs to the Super-tier existence.

And a High-tier Magic Card Spirit capable of solo-killing a Super-tier existence, even if this Magic Card Spirit has various flaws, its strength and record are right there.

What's more, on the light screen, after breaking the Fierce Spirit King, the Dark Magician Girl immediately threw herself back into the action of mopping up the remaining Fierce Spirits, showing no signs of weakness at all.

It was as if breaking the Fierce Spirit King was the same as breaking an ordinary Fierce Spirit for the Dark Magician Girl, not worth resting for before continuing to fight.

Such a performance by the Dark Magician Girl is enough to make all the Popes focus their attention on her.

If such a Magic Card could be produced on a large scale, it would be enough to overturn the combat power of the King Realm and the Emperor Realm.

Top-tier talented Magic Card Masters can produce nine-star Magic Card Spirits when they are in the King Realm; for example, the six major religious Saint Son and Saint Daughter candidates in the Bone Burial Ground, and their Guardian Knights, Bei Bei Xingyu and Qu Qu Zhixuan, are representatives of this level.

Of course, Yan Yuexin is also at this level.

And the lower-level Magic Card Masters, for example, the Saint Son and Saint Daughter candidates and Guardian Knights of religions other than the six major ones in the Bone Burial Ground.

Although they have more talent than ordinary Magic Card Masters, the strongest Magic Card Spirit they possess is only eight-star.

Leng Congyun and Yu Yu Xunqin, who were eliminated by Lu Li for courting death at the start, although they also belong to the Saint Son and Saint Daughter candidates, still have a clear gap in talent compared to the six major religious ones like Bei Bei Xingyu and Qu Qu Zhixuan.

But it is undeniable that Leng Congyun, Yu Yu Xunqin, and others have the opportunity to step into the Emperor Realm.

And the next level of talent is the ordinary Magic Card Master. Most of these Magic Card Masters stop at the King Realm, but that doesn't mean no one can break through to the Emperor Realm; the base of Magic Card Masters at this level is not small, and even if only a small portion can break through to the Emperor Realm, the number is not to be ignored.
