Chapter 1021: Chapter 374: S-Level [Spirit Master]_2

Occupying more card grids does have its drawbacks, such as fewer terms, lack of flexibility, susceptibility to control, etc.

In high-end card games, unless the attributes of the giant cards are very good, in general, players won’t consider using giant cards as a priority.

Playing giant cards can feel exhilarating momentarily, but as soon as the battle line extends, various disadvantages start to emerge.

Of course, taking advantage of high panel values to dominate is also a tactic.

Yet, the kind of early advantage achieved through giant cards is not as stable in the later stages compared to advantages established through other means.

"Now, ’Spirit Master’s Wings’ has perfectly solved the disadvantages of giant cards.

Even I’m not sure if I should still call ’Spirit Master’ a giant card.

But it indeed possesses the high health, high attack, and high score of a giant card.

Perhaps, this is the ultimate form of a giant card?"

After further testing on the simulated card table, Ree Shil also discovered that ’Spirit Master’s Wings’, like the unique term ’Huge Size’ of giant cards, is unaffected by ’Seal’.

A similar situation also exists with ’Climbing Dragon’.

It does not shrink back to its original size due to ’Seal’.

It seems that these terms that occupy card grids, due to their special mechanisms, are not subject to seal.

Apart from ’Spirit Master’s Wings’, the other two terms of ’Spirit Master’ have also changed.

It remains a Dragon Card, but ’Clan Power Resonance’ has turned into ’Resonance of Living Beings’.

Having completed missions, he, of course, knows that so-called living creature cards basically include almost all flesh-and-blood life forms.

Things like skeleton soldiers, energy bodies, elementals, mechanical life forms, wouldn’t be considered living creature cards.

Changing from a Dragon Card to a living creature card can significantly increase ’Spirit Master’s already exaggerated health of 300 points.

In the past, in a 9+1 card game, ’Beast Master Red Dragon’ could theoretically get a health bonus of 90 points by playing a full dragon card deck.

Now, the theoretical state is 180 points of health bonus provided by 18 cards from both players, all being living creature cards.

If it’s an alien-shaped game in PVE, like the previous Sword Spirit puppets, where nearly a hundred living creature cards come into play at once, then ’Spirit Master’ becomes quite invincible.

The other term that has changed is ’Red Lotus Roar’.

Its energy cost has been reduced from 5 points to 4 points, a 20% decrease, which is quite good.

But the key is that the target has changed from "reveal all enemy cards" to "reveal per grid of enemy cards".

Ree Shil tested with his own card deck and concluded.

The change of two words makes a big difference in concept.

In the past, with ’Beast Master Red Dragon’s’ roar, a ’Tree Giant’ occupying 4 grids only suffered 30 points of ’Fixed Damage’.

But now, since every grid gets hit, a single roar would inflict 120 points of ’Fixed Damage’ on ’Tree Giant’.

That is to say, ’Spirit Master’ has now transformed from a giant card into a counter-giant card, which is quite the reversal.

Additionally, having three S-rank cards in hand gives him more chances to arrange combinations.

He can have ’Kung Fu Sheep God’ and ’Beginning Stick’ temporarily fuse with ’Spirit Master’.

"Beginning Stick + Spirit Master = ’Beginning Master’"

"One can only say that whenever this stick is involved, the name doesn’t turn out too pleasant to the ear."

He first sneered at a quick preview.

The appearance of ’Beginning Master’ doesn’t change much.

The main focus is still on ’Spirit Master’, it continues to be a Breakthrough Card, and it doesn’t gain a universal tag.

The only change occurred with the term ’Resonance of Living Beings’.

[Resonance of All Things - Passive]: For every revealed card on the field, Spirit Master’s maximum health increases by +10.

What used to require living creature cards now applies to any revealed card.

This seems like a significant upgrade.

It has jumped from living creature cards to include all cards.

But the problem is, the upper limit of this term is out there, related to the number of cards in a card game.

Meaning its maximum health bonus is visible to the naked eye and within easy reach.

While it could be considered an upgrade, it can’t be said to be too substantial.

"If ’Beginning Stick’ really has no space to enter play, I might let the two of them become ’Beginning Master’, combining two cards into the space of one."

After experimental testing, Ree Shil found that the ’Practitioner’ function of ’S-rank Expert’ could even be carried out temporarily during a card game.

If ’Spirit Master’ and ’Beginning Stick’ are present in his replacement card set,

then he can temporarily fuse them, place them during the replacement phase, and reveal them.

Of course, this form can only be done while the cards are covered.

If ’Spirit Master’ or ’Beginning Stick’ are already revealed, it cannot be completed.

"As for the fusion compatibility of ’Kung Fu Sheep God’ with ’Spirit Master’, it’s not high.

But I can understand that.

After all, ’Practitioner’ doesn’t care about compatibility, it emphasizes forced fusion.

It’s just that normally S-rank cards can’t be combined, otherwise there would likely be a 100% incidence of card explosion or card devouring.

Being able to forcibly fuse into a form is already quite impressive."

"I can’t ask for the Bicycle anymore."

[Kung Fu Sheep God]+[Spirit Master]=[Spirit Lord God]

Maybe it’s because of the points, or maybe not.

The main body is still [Spirit Master].

It just changed one entry.

That is, the active skill [Red Lotus Roar] has become [Red Lotus God Chase].

[Red Lotus God Chase—20 Energy Points]: The Spirit Lord God lets out a roar, causing a row of targets to [Exit]

"This skill, it’s actually pretty useful.

The consumption of 20 energy points, honestly, is excessively exaggerated.

Even the energy limit of [Spirit Lord God] is still just 5 points; it can’t even be fired.

But if I use the [Mechanical Sin Dragon] card to boost it, then I can unleash it.

And its description says ’a row’ of targets, not ’up to 3 cards in a row’.

Which means in an alien-shaped game, no matter how many outer cards the opponent has lined up, the [Spirit Lord God] can blow them all away in one breath.

That’s pretty S-rank.

In special circumstances, the fusion of these two cards can be of great use."

Ree Shil believes that an [S-rank Expert] truly deserves the title.

As his collection of S-rank cards grows, so does the number of combinations.

Who knows, maybe one day he’ll create a super S-rank card.

"Using my status here, I’ve also quickly completed the mission [Master of All Spirits].

With that being the case, there’s no need for me to stay any longer.

I’ll come back to check on the Left Heart Sect from time to time, that’s all."

In fact, had it not been for the S-rank card quest, he would have left already.

Because the system still owes him an S-rank material card.

That [Dragon Shackles], up to now, hasn’t been received yet.

He guesses that the reward must be settled only after leaving the Instance Dungeon.

"People here are too enthusiastic, I better not say goodbye.

After all, I can still come back to visit from time to time."

With that thought, Ree Shil gathered up all his cards.

He then left a note, and departed from this world.

Whir!

After his consciousness spun around, he stood in the Pure White Space.

[Instance Completion—200%]

[Gaining Experience Points, calculating...]

[Congratulations, Level Up to LV21]

"Not bad, after all the time I spent, and all the things I’ve done.

Plus the accumulation from other instances before, I’ve finally leveled up."

He hasn’t forgotten that he’s still waiting to reach Level 25 to continue the mission of the Nameless Sword Spirit.

But the next Instance Dungeon he wants to tackle is [The Path of Breaking Force].

His three S-rank cards are all Breakthrough Cards, maybe this time he might have a chance to break through.

[Spirit Master] has a delightful problem.

It’s that it takes up only one grid, but holds a high value of 100 points.

But quite fortuitously, both [Kung Fu Sheep God] and [Beginning Stick] are low-point cards, which can provide some compensation in this aspect.

He believes that mixing and matching, he should still be able to construct a full set of 3S All Breakthrough Card Deck.

[Please draw 45 cards as the Instance Reward]

After the experience points settlement, a bunch of cards with question marks flew out.

Because he had taken down many from the Left Heart Sect, and they were all card players higher in level than himself,

the card draw rewards from this trip were quite numerous.

He believes that after this round of draws, his Kung Fu card set resources will definitely explode in abundance.

Not to mention the quality, at the very least, the quantity is guaranteed.

Under this premise, maybe he could even get a few high-quality Firearms cards.

"But drawing cards is secondary, let’s get this card first."

Amidst all the question mark cards, Ree Shil’s gaze was drawn to the card radiating with multicolored light.

The mission reward, here at last.
