Free Web NovelChapter 1127: Chapter 430: Trial of Attentive Listening
Having left the Way of Breakthrough, Ree Shil felt quite exhausted.
The pressure of playing cards against the Breakthrough Envoy was enormous, and on top of that, creating custom scene cards was also mentally draining.
So he collapsed into bed, unwilling to get up, and at some point fell into a deep sleep.
He had no idea when he woke up.
Checking the date, there were still a few days until the next round of competition.
"Then let me take another look at that mission."
He opened the Panel.
[Collect A-level or above Mage Cards: 1/1]
[Collect A-level or above ’Pig’ Cards: 1/1]
[Collect A-level or above ’Monk’ Cards: 1/1]
[Collect A-level or above ’Dragon’ Cards: 1/1]
[Using only these five cards, including the False Saint, defeat the Wind Messenger: 0/1]
This time, the Instance Crystal displayed as available.
"That’s definitely okay."
With a light squeeze of the crystal, a panel for placing cards popped up.
There were several squares on the panel.
The topmost square required the placement of the [False Saint].
Looking at the mage cards, he had only a few that met the criteria among all his cards.
The most obvious was [Master Dharma Sea].
Being both a monk and a master, it fit the criteria.
Then there was [Horned Magician], which was a bit surprising.
The correct pronunciation of this card is the Horned Demon-Mage.
Its projection is a Mage from the Horned Demon Race, to his surprise, it actually qualified.
The last one took Ree Shil by surprise the most.
It was actually the [Demon-eliminating Human], which is a card modeled after Exterminator Thirteen.
What kind of mage this guy was supposed to be, he couldn’t understand.
Out of the three cards, [Master Dharma Sea] was definitely the first choice.
Actually, [Horned Magician] was also quite strong, being a giant summoning card.
If it were to face a Demon Card, [Demon-eliminating Human] would definitely perform the strongest.
[Master Dharma Sea]
Wisdom, 30 points, A
Attack 30, 130/130, 4/4
[Robust Physique-Passive]: Master Dharma Sea’s maximum Health Points +30
[Mana Suppression-Passive]: When Master Dharma Sea is fully charged with energy, its attack includes a 1 Round [Imprison] effect
[Fragment Collector-Passive]: For every 2 active skills released on the field, Master Dharma Sea gains 0.5 Point Energy
[Mighty Heavenly Dragon-3 Point Energy]: Master Dharma Sea gains the Dragon Card Label and reveals any 1 ally Dragon Card
But [Master Dharma Sea] has control and can also link with Dragon Cards.
Then for the ’Pig’ Cards, Ree Shil had quite a few on hand.
Things like Wild Boar, domestic pig, pig-headed people, and so on, but none were A-level or above.
He had thought early on about which one to place.
Right, it’s the all-purpose card, [Beginning Stick].
[Beginning Stick] could even fit into the other slots, which is why it’s so versatile.
However, Ree Shil had no intention of just slotting it in directly, but instead wanted to utilize his own Card Player’s Talent.
[Kung Fu Sheep God] + [Beginning Stick] = [Sheep Primordial God]
He temporarily fused the two cards, then checked again.
Sure enough, it could be placed in the slot.
Several S-rank Cards temporarily fused would inherit [Beginning Stick]’s all-purpose property; [Kung Fu Sheep God] was one of them. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
The card face of [Sheep Primordial God] showed no change from [Kung Fu Sheep God], just an added universal tag.
As for the ’Monk’ Cards, there wasn’t much choice.
The only one A-level and above was [Sweeping Monk].
But it made a good headline district card as well.
Last was the ’Dragon’ Cards, and here he had many options.
He didn’t even consider those of A-level.
[Soul Dragon], [Five Claws Golden Dragon], [Gold Soul Dragon King], [Five-Clawed Spirit Dragon], [Dragon Beginning Stick], and so on.
There was a peculiar little detail, the Mage Cards weren’t required to specifically include the word ’Mage’.
However, the rest of the cards had to include the related characters.
[Spirit Master], as it did not include the word Dragon, did not count.
Not knowing the exact circumstances within the Instance, Ree Shil chose the broadly applicable original version of [Five Claws Golden Dragon].
Thus, the total cards he would carry were:
[False Saint], [Master Dharma Sea], [Sweeping Monk], [Sheep Primordial God], [Five Claws Golden Dragon], all five of these.
After making his selections, he entered the instance. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Hum!
With a feeling of lightness, Ree Shil felt as if he was traversing through time and space.
When he landed, he found himself standing in a bamboo forest.
The tranquil bamboo forest was filled with the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
Quite in line with what he expected from ’Listening to the Wind’.
By a murmuring stream, there was a trail that he followed deeper into the forest.
After a leisurely 10-minute walk, he saw a small courtyard.
Sitting inside the courtyard was a young lady.
To be honest, he did not recognize the Wind Messenger.
Because she would change according to the level, he had never had the chance to reach the seventh major level and see her true face.
Besides, whether the one in front of him was the Wind Messenger or the Wind Chasing Messenger temporarily acting as the Wind Messenger, he couldn’t tell.
"I didn’t expect you to initiate this instance, Card Player Ree Shil," said the other party, turning to look at him.
From her steady tone, Ree Shil made a judgment.
The original Wind Messenger, now temporarily the Wind Chasing Messenger, no doubt about that.
"So, this instance is..."
He asked.
"An S-rank task instance, that’s all," the Wind Messenger replied, an answer that was as good as none.
In this period alone, she was responsible for nearly a hundred such instances; it was just a matter of whether or not anyone initiated them.
"Shall we begin?"
Ree Shil didn’t probe deeper; he just wanted to see how difficult the card game against the Wind Messenger would be.
He was a bit worried that she might summon a god, producing something like the [Wind Listening Card].
But at the same time, he was curious to see what the [Wind Listening Card] would look like.
