Chapter 43

"Old Yu, the Magic Card spirit of your contestant is a bit special." Thinking for a moment in his mind, Mo Yingtian still didn't find any information about the Dark Magician Girl, which made him frown.

No information meant it would be very troublesome to deal with.

If the strength was average, it would be fine, but the Dark Magician Girl's performance just now couldn't be described as average.

As for original Magic Cards, Mo Yingtian didn't think in this direction for the time being. It was really hard to think in this direction without seeing it with his own eyes.

Surprised? Unexpected? It's right that it's special! Damn it, I let you, this old schemer, show off in front of me for a while, now it's my turn to be happy!

Facing Mo Yingtian's question, Yu Haojia just smiled mysteriously and didn't pick up the conversation.

At this time, just smile. As for revealing information about Lu Li and the Dark Magician Girl to Mo Yingtian? Don't even think about it, he wouldn't do such thankless things.

"Silence Spell, directly cracking the release of skills from the source? A very special idea." Compared to others, Shangguan Hong seemed much calmer.

As an Immortal Realm Magic Card master, what kind of scene hadn't he seen? Although the Silence Spell was special, some high-level Magic Card spirits or fierce beasts could also do this.

Even, if the level was high enough, they could immunize against the influence of the Silence Spell to a certain extent.

"Superimposing the skill of Spell Nullification onto a spell-type Magic Card spirit is indeed a very alternative conception," Shangguan Pu also nodded.

Generally speaking, abilities with similar effects appeared on non-spell-type Magic Cards. After all, although the Silence Spell was good to use, for Magic Card spirits that used spell abilities as their main output means, it was undoubtedly a double-edged sword.

Used well, it could naturally have an unexpected effect; used poorly, the caster could only stare blankly.

Having defeated You Zhiwen and successfully advanced to the next stage, the subsequent battles still didn't have anything eye-catching. Lu Li just watched casually and continued to conceive the background and settings of the new Magic Card.

Until dusk came, all contestants completed the battle of this stage, and the clock face hanging above the entire battlefield gradually turned into light spots and dissipated from the inside out.

"The progress is okay, especially finding the key breakthrough point for evolution. The conception of the evolution Magic Card from the juvenile stage to the maturity stage is basically completed," reopening his eyes, Lu Li thought silently: "According to the current progress, perhaps I can complete the conception of the perfect-stage evolution Magic Card before the college entrance exam."

"The simulation construction progress of the Digimon world view is also steadily improving, and the progress has exceeded 90%. It is estimated that in a few more days, it will reach 100%."

"Now for me, all that's missing is material." Material, the eternal topic of Magic Card masters. Even if the background and settings of the Magic Card are excellent, if there is no material and no way to create the Magic Card, it is meaningless.

"However, with the ability to rewrite and reorganize, material is no longer a big problem." He had been rewriting and reorganizing materials every day since he got this permission, rewriting useless materials into the materials he needed, so he wouldn't be lacking too much.

While Lu Li was silently summarizing his own situation, Shangguan Hong on the podium also finished talking with the twelve branch presidents including Yu Haojia and stood up.

"Congratulations to all contestants who passed the first stage of the youth training tournament," a voice that was old but carried majesty sounded, instantly attracting everyone's attention. Shangguan Hong looked around and spoke again: "Tomorrow at the same time, the second stage of the youth training tournament will begin."

Seeing this, all the promoted contestants couldn't help but sit up slightly.

"The second stage of the youth training tournament will be held in a dimensional plane. The specific rules will be announced later in the evening. Contestants can pay attention to the information received on their personal terminals at that time."

After saying a few words, Shangguan Hong dismissed everyone, and the branch presidents of the Magic Card Association led their respective contestants away.

"Alright, those who failed don't be too sad. This is also a valuable growth experience for you," at the Cangling City station, Yu Haojia encouraged: "Being selected as an association representative to participate already shows that you are better than others."

"Next, the most important thing you need to do is to hone yourselves well, so that you can get greater progress."

There were not many Magic Card masters from Cangling City who passed the first stage of the youth training tournament, but this was also within Yu Haojia's expectations.

After comforting the losers, Yu Haojia reminded the contestants who passed the first stage again: "Tomorrow's competition will be held in a dimensional plane, and the danger coefficient will also become higher. You must be mentally prepared."

In the second stage, not only were there pursuits from contestants of other Magic Card associations, but also dangers from fierce beasts.

Hearing Yu Haojia's reminder, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. It seems that tomorrow's second stage will be more intense than today.

Perhaps if they are not careful, they will be eliminated. It was hard to pass the first stage, and they didn't want to be defeated as soon as they entered the second stage.

"Snatch battle?" After dinner, Lu Li's personal terminal received information from the Cangdu General Association, and the content was the relevant information about the second stage of the competition.

Not only Lu Li, but all the contestants who passed the first stage also received the competition information for the second stage at the same time, and everyone subconsciously put down what they were doing and started to check it.

"What snatch battle?" Just walking out of the bathroom, Mana, with water vapor still on her bright golden long hair, couldn't help but show a curious expression when she heard Lu Li's words.

Walking on cat steps to Lu Li's back, Mana's exquisite little face rested on his shoulder. The faint scent mixed with body wash rushed into his nostrils, making Lu Li feel refreshed.

79. Want to slack off? Impossible!

"Competition information for the second stage." Sensing the softness behind him, Lu Li scraped Mana's nose and explained, then looked at it carefully.

The second stage is held in a dimensional plane called the Mist Ruins. After all contestants enter the dimensional plane, their positions will be randomly scrambled.

Wanting to win is also very simple, that is, to reach the core of the Mist Ruins, where the props to win are placed. As long as a contestant takes away the props, the youth training tournament will end simultaneously, even if there are other contestants in the Mist Ruins.

"This rule seems quite simple." Understanding the competition rules of the second stage, Mana muttered.

"It does look very simple," hearing Mana's words, Lu Li shook his head: "However, the Mist Ruins have a special place, which is that they are covered with mist with very low visibility all year round. With the means of Commander Realm or War General Realm Magic Card masters, not only can they not disperse these mists, but even their perception will be limited to a certain range."

"And, to enter the core of the Mist Ruins to get the final props, there is a second restriction." Saying this, Lu Li enlarged the page on the terminal: "You must collect ten Magic Card vouchers to enter the core of the ruins."

"All contestants will receive a Magic Card voucher when entering the Mist Ruins. As for how to get the other nine vouchers, the meaning is very obvious."

Magic Card voucher, obviously, is the clearance prop for this second stage, and it also means that if contestants in the second stage want to win the final victory, they must take action against others. Otherwise, they will only be eliminated.

Such a rule directly put all contestants on the opposite side.

"The winner gets the Magic Card voucher, and the contestant who has the Magic Card voucher snatched will lose the qualification to participate in the second stage and will be teleported out of the dimensional plane." In the final analysis, the essence of the youth training tournament is the competition between newcomers from various Magic Card associations in Cangdu. The organizer naturally cannot design the rules of the youth training tournament to be without any conflict and very dull.

"Ah this" Mana stuck out her tongue, and a faint blush appeared on her fair cheeks. She really didn't notice this just now.

"Alright, rest early." Closing the personal terminal, Lu Li reached out and hugged Mana: "Need to get up early tomorrow."

The next morning, served by Mana, after Lu Li tidied up, he walked to the gathering point of Cangling City. Many contestants who passed the second round had already arrived one after another.

Seeing Lu Li, all the contestants in Cangling City showed kindness. After the first stage yesterday, they finally knew why Lu Li and Yu Haojia had such a good relationship.

If it were them who had Lu Li's strength, Yu Haojia would naturally look at them with admiration.

"Are you all rested?" After a while, Yu Haojia also arrived at the gathering point, swept his eyes over the crowd in front of him, and after getting everyone's affirmation, he led everyone to set off.

Not only Cangling City, but the contestants from the Cangdu General Association and other satellite cities also set off under the leadership of their respective association branch presidents.

Soon, everyone gathered again in the square yesterday, and Shangguan Hong arrived earlier than everyone else.

"I believe you have already learned about the competition rules of the second stage yesterday, so I won't say any extra words. I hope you can further show your strength in the upcoming second stage and win the final victory."

"The reward for the final winner will not disappoint you." As his voice fell, Shangguan Hong waved his hand casually, and a huge teleportation gate slowly unfolded on the open space in front of everyone. A trace of coolness came from the teleportation gate, and everyone couldn't help but tremble.

Immediately after, several staff members quickly interspersed among the contestant teams and handed two special Magic Cards to everyone.

"These two Magic Cards are the Magic Card voucher as a prop and the teleportation Magic Card," Shangguan Hong explained: "The role of the Magic Card voucher doesn't need to be said, and after entering the Mist Ruins, the teleportation function of the teleportation Magic Card will be activated. You can judge whether to use the teleportation Magic Card to leave according to the danger you encounter."

"However, there is one point you must understand: the teleportation Magic Card is one-time use, and the spatial coordinates in it are also set to the place where you are standing now."

"Therefore, once you use the teleportation Magic Card, it means you will be teleported away from the Mist Ruins and lose the qualification to continue participating."

"So, whether to use the teleportation Magic Card and when to use it, you need to consider clearly."

The youth training tournament is not a life-and-death battle, and the Magic Card Association will not let contestants be killed at will. After all, they are the fresh blood of the Magic Card Association.

But just as Shangguan Hong said, how to choose needs to be decided by the contestants themselves, which is also a test for them.

If they misjudge their own strength and fail to use the teleportation Magic Card to escape danger, then even if they fall in the Mist Ruins, they can't blame others.

Not being able to accurately judge the situation, the final result will only harm themselves and others, which is also a taboo for Magic Card masters.

Everyone looked at each other, and Shangguan Wan'er was the first to pass through the teleportation gate. She represented the Cangdu General Association and was also the strongest on the surface, so naturally, no one would have any opinions.

After Shangguan Wan'er entered the Mist Ruins, the subsequent contestants also crossed the teleportation gate one after another, and Lu Li also followed the crowd into it.

Until everyone entered the Mist Ruins, Shangguan Hong waved his hand again, and dozens of light screens appeared in front of everyone. Each light screen played exactly the independent footage of all contestants.

Similar to Cangling City's means of monitoring the Spirit Home, the Cangdu Magic Card General Association naturally also had the means to monitor the Mist Ruins. Even, the means of the Cangdu General Association were more advanced.

... stretch...

"This is the Mist Ruins?" What met his eyes was filled with faint mist, and places slightly further away were completely indistinguishable to the naked eye. Even if he used mental perception, Lu Li couldn't probe what was hidden further away: "Sure enough, as the information said."

When mental power touched these drifting mists, Lu Li could clearly feel that there was a special power on the mist, constantly wearing down his own mental power. If he used mental power to touch the mist for a long time, it would even cause backlash.

The contestants from Cangling City who crossed the teleportation gate with him had disappeared. Not only Cangling City, but also the contestants who came in a step ahead, Lu Li also didn't see anyone.

"Completely separated? Or is it that everyone is actually in the same area, but because of the mist, they can't see anyone?" With a wave of his hand, the Dark Magician Girl was summoned by Lu Li: "The information is still too little."

"Let's go, now we can only take one step at a time." Greeting the Dark Magician Girl, Lu Li chose a direction and set off.

Although the saying "can't see fingers in front of eyes" was a bit exaggerated, in the case of being filled with mist, even distinguishing direction became a problem.

Therefore, wanting to accurately go to the core of the Mist Ruins carried a bit of luck. But luck was also one of his own strengths.

80. Are you playing an RPG here?

While Lu Li was setting off, the other contestants in the Mist Ruins also summoned their respective Magic Card spirits and set off in a random direction while being secretly alert.

Before promoting to the King Realm, Magic Card masters could not perform source synchronization with Magic Card spirits, and the main body could be said to be very fragile.

Conversely, after reaching the King Realm, Magic Card masters opened the skill of source synchronization, which could synchronize and obtain part of the abilities of Magic Card spirits, and the means of self-protection increased greatly at that time.

Therefore, the King Realm became a watershed for Magic Card masters.

"Master, something is coming." After walking for about ten minutes, the Dark Magician Girl held her staff and blocked in front of Lu Li. ===== CHAPTER 44 =====
