Chapter 3616: Cards
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
I see.
Fang Heng nodded quietly to himself.
No wonder he felt part of the card’s structure was completely incomprehensible—it turned out to be constructology he had not yet mastered.
That made sense.
"The card level is distinguished by the border color. Currently, the purple-bordered transcendent cards are most suitable for your current stage of cultivation."
"The beasts in these cards have undergone special mutation and cannot complete a summoning contract. Once summoned, they remain in a sealed state, making them ideal for practicing various summoning techniques."
"You may select any card to borrow for a week. After that, the card will automatically return to the cultivation space. If you wish to borrow it again, you may come back to me."
Fang Heng said, "Thank you, senior. I understand."
"Good. Next, I will explain some practical summoning techniques. Listen carefully. When you attempt academic cultivation later, you can try incorporating these techniques to improve the success rate of summoning contracts."
The white-robed elder nodded slightly and began, "The beasts required for transcendent-tier summoning are of extremely high level and often possess high-tier intelligence. Besides effective suppression methods to subdue them, one must also establish a contract through mental communication with the beasts."
Fang Heng listened attentively, thinking to himself.
It seemed that high-tier summoning was not much different from normal summoning. It also required repeated attempts to establish contracts until mastery and advancement were achieved.
That meant he could use zombie clones to grind it!
And what the elder was now explaining was about contract operation techniques.
For normal cultivators, these were experiences summarized through repeated failures—extremely valuable. A single insight could be worth days of painstaking training.
But he was different.
Since he could grind with zombie clones, he could simply compensate for quality with quantity.
Even if he failed, skill experience would still accumulate.
Fang Heng listened to the elder’s explanation while glancing down at the card colors on the desk.
The current purple-bordered cards corresponded to transcendent-level creatures.
There were twelve cards of this level in total.
The white-robed elder noticed Fang Heng’s distraction and found it odd.
What he was explaining was extremely valuable experience for summoning martial artists. Why did this kid look so absent-minded?
A martial artist capable of cultivating to this level should not lack such focus.
The elder did not understand but maintained respect and quickly concluded the teaching session. He looked at Fang Heng and nodded with a smile, "You may try it now."
"Very well."
Fang Heng’s eyes lit up, and he reached for a purple-bordered card on the desk.
Whoosh!
He infused mental strength into the card, and it immediately blossomed with golden light.
Twin-headed dragon beast.
A ferocious beast with partial dragon bloodline, two heads, each possessing ice and fire dual attributes.
"Roar!"
The twin-headed dragon beast was summoned into the cultivation space. Upon appearing, it let out a furious roar, but the seals on its body completely restrained it from moving.
The white-robed elder said, "Martial artist, the twin-headed dragon has been sealed. Do not worry. Simply condense an oracle and construct a summoning contract."
Fang Heng nodded lightly. He did not bind the beast directly but flipped his wrist, causing a stack of rune papers to appear in his right hand, which he scattered into the air.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Lickers sprang from the exploding rune papers, landing on the ground and quickly forming pulsating flesh cocoons.
The white-robed elder looked at the flesh cocoons on the ground, his expression tightening.
What was this?
A special summoning ability?
Within seconds, the cocoons broke open one after another.
Normal-form zombie clones crawled out of the cocoons, swaying as they approached the twin-headed dragon beast. They formed hand signs in front of them.
Under the influence of the signs, white light appeared on the dragon beast.
Huh!?
The white-robed elder’s pupils constricted, his eyes full of surprise.
What?
A summoning contract?
Was this a manifestation of mutation clones?
He was using spell cultivation?
Manifestation of clones was already extremely rare, yet this kid could use it to cultivate summoning?
Unheard of!
Fang Heng nodded lightly and looked at the elder.
"Senior, if I don’t take the cards away, can I borrow a few more to use here?"
The white-robed elder was momentarily confused by Fang Heng’s request.
In all his years of teaching, he had never encountered such a thing.
Someone asking to borrow cards without taking them away, simply using the cultivation space to train without losing points?
The elder calmed himself and thought for a moment.
The trial space was designed to help martial artists rapidly improve their strength. The card borrowing rules were to prevent loss.
Since the cards were not being taken away, borrowing a few more was acceptable.
"Sure, as long as the cards are not damaged."
"Thank you, senior."
Fang Heng expressed his gratitude, picked up the cards on the desk, continuously infused mental strength, and then took out another stack of rune papers from his backpack and threw them into midair.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The rune papers exploded again.
Lickers emerged from the shattered runes, landing and quickly entering division mode.
One became two, two became four...
At the same time, Fang Heng picked up all remaining purple cards from the desk and summoned them one by one.
In just two minutes, thousands of zombie clones had gathered densely in the cultivation space.
Around each summoned beast, three inner layers and three outer layers of zombie clones formed, while white light continuously appeared on the beasts as contracts were executed.
The white-robed elder had never seen such a scene before and sat in his chair, stunned.
"Senior."
Fang Heng looked at the elder again.
"Senior?"
The white-robed elder took a moment to regain his composure, coughed lightly, and asked, "Ahem, what is it?"
Fang Heng glanced at the desk and asked, "Are there any more transcendent-level cards?"
The elder’s face darkened.
Listen to that!
What audacity!
Each card took over half a year to make. Did he think they were roadside cabbages to be picked up casually?
Fang Heng read the elder’s expression and sighed slightly.
"Then..."
Holding onto the last shred of hope, Fang Heng looked at the elder and tentatively asked, "Do other instructors have extras? I could try asking them to lend some."
The white-robed elder was both angry and amused by Fang Heng’s words. He waved his hand, "No more. All instructional cards in the trial space are shared here. A total of three hundred and twenty-seven cards are here."
"I see... what a pity..."
Fang Heng murmured to himself.
Fine. Then he would settle for the next best option.
Fang Heng reached out to the higher-tier orange cards.
