Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1144: Chapter 925: Ming King

Within the Qingming Realm, Su Yuan flipped his hand, and a golden Star Card fell into his palm.

It was the very card obtained from Song Tianduo, the [Melding Spirit and Gazing God].

"Bingtong, I now have a Star Card related to Beast Taming that might be used with you. Take a look."

Luo Bingtong took the Star Card and blinked, tilting her head towards Su Yuan.

"If it’s not suitable..."

"Embed it." Luo Bingtong handed the Star Card back to Su Yuan, a gleam in her eyes, "Now...!"

"Alright." Su Yuan chuckled, pinching her small cheek, then picked up [Melding Spirit and Gazing God] and immediately embedded it with a thought.

For a moment, all kinds of profound experiences about Beast Fusion flooded into his mind like a revelation.

After a while, Su Yuan opened his eyes, raised his hand, and sealed a gesture, pointing to Luo Bingtong’s forehead.

"Spirit Fusion!"

As Su Yuan’s fingertip fell, runes immediately flickered.

Accompanied by a mystical fluctuation, a deeper and more intimate connection was swiftly established between Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong based on the Guardian Beast Contract.

In just a short moment, by virtue of physical contact, the two could even directly touch each other’s souls.

With the establishment of this connection, Su Yuan could feel a reinforcement in his Six Dimensions to varying extents.

Especially his strength and defense, which suddenly increased by a margin.

It wasn’t a pure boost in Talent, but also a racial advantage brought by Luo Bingtong as a member of the Legendary Dragon Clan.

"Beast Taming Enhancement!"

Su Yuan nodded silently; for a Beast Tamer, using a Guardian Beast to enhance certain elements of oneself was common.

Back then, Song Tianduo’s body was quite resilient for the same reason.

"So then..." Su Yuan raised his hand, stroking Luo Bingtong’s head, "shall we give it a try?"

Luo Bingtong’s eyes lit up: "Yes."

Su Yuan activated Melding Spirit and Gazing God, and in a flash, silver and blue lights emanated from both their bodies, rapidly merging together.

In just a few moments, the spirit light dispersed, and a more refined Su Yuan reappeared in the arena.

His eyes were one silver and one blue, his hair had lengthened slightly, and his features were a bit more exquisite than before.

Furthermore, more strikingly, Su Yuan now possessed a pair of crystal-clear dragon horns and a snow-white long tail.

Instantly, a terrifying Dragon aura emanated from Su Yuan!

This technique is led by the Beast Tamer, combining with the characteristics of the Star Beast, similar to Shi Li from the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect, where Beast traits appear on their bodies.

"Strength and defense have increased a lot again! I can control Ice Power, and... it seems I can use some of Bingtong’s skills!"

Su Yuan’s eyes focused, raising his right hand, an astonishing Ice Element quickly gathered at his fingertips.

"Holy Dragon Flash!"

With just a slight charge, the highly compressed white Dragon Flash shot thousands of meters away, obliterating everything in its path, either shattering or freezing it!

"The power and the charging speed of this move make it a casual big move to unleash; its combat intensity is simply astonishing. It truly is the signature skill of the Dragon Clan!"

However, the skill’s proficiency level seemed to be limited by [Melding Spirit and Gazing God].

Bingtong’s Time Ability can’t be used either; it looks like we need to level up [Melding Spirit and Gazing God] first..."

Su Yuan continued to meticulously experience the various aspects of his capabilities after spirit fusion for a while, and after gradually mastering them, he dissolved the spirit fusion with a thought.

The silver and blue lights glowed, and the two separated.

Su Yuan only felt a slight weariness in his head, some of his spiritual power depleted.

"It seems spiritual power remains an issue..."

Overall, this move is a significant enhancement for me.

Moreover, this technique also carries a summoning effect, allowing specific targets to be summoned directly into the Guardian Beast Space.

The strength of Melding Spirit and Gazing God mainly depends on the Guardian Beast’s Grade, Talent, Species, Skill Level, and the compatibility with the Imperial Master...

Aside from her Realm being slightly inferior to Su Yuan, Luo Bingtong is an excellent choice in other aspects.

It’s currently at the Entry level; it remains to be seen how it compares with Oath of Returning Ruins and Evil Spirit Entanglement once it reaches Divine Skills...

"Speaking of Void Evil Manifesting Saints, Divine Wind and Divine Fire are also temporarily unusable now."

Su Yuan drew the dim Demon Saber, frowning.

Contending with experts from various sects for the Dragon Vein wasn’t too bad, but being hunted by the Curse King nearly cost him his life on the Southern Continent!

Although he ultimately escaped, it came at a great cost.

The Demon Soul, along with Divine Wind and Divine Fire, fell, rendering Void Evil Manifesting Saints and Oath of Returning Ruins unusable.

Mu Kexian suffered a significant loss in cultivation because of this; even with her Talent, she can eventually recover through cultivation, but such a blow isn’t easily endured by everyone.

"I wonder how she is doing now..."

Thinking of this, Su Yuan couldn’t help but sigh.

At this moment, his arm was suddenly embraced.

Su Yuan turned to look and found it was Luo Bingtong.

"Cheer up, together..."

It seemed she sensed Su Yuan’s mood; although she didn’t know what happened, Luo Bingtong offered an encouraging gaze.

Su Yuan smiled and tapped her delicate nose, putting the matter aside.

"So next, it’s about waiting for Bai Ze’s news."

Bai Ze stepped in to block the Curse King for him back then; whether he managed to break through afterward is still unknown, leaving Su Yuan a bit anxious.

This feeling of having to entirely rely on others isn’t great, but he has done his best, and currently, there indeed isn’t a better solution.

Su Yuan moved with a thought, taking Luo Bingtong to take another look at their teacher.

"Let’s head directly to the Demon Capital!"

The matters of the Sky Patrol Department can all be temporarily set aside. The most important thing now is to restore the teacher’s origin!

First, go to the Demon Capital to visit Kongming King. Once Bai Ze returns as a king, this matter can be resolved directly.

Moreover, there’s no need to take the teacher away now; it can be done after reaching the Demon Capital and summoning him.

Su Yuan certainly doesn’t dare let the teacher leave the nourishment of the Phoenix Vein and Holy Ancient Tree now.

"I... will go together," Luo Bingtong spoke up.

"Alright." Su Yuan nodded with a smile, it’s naturally best to have Luo Bingtong’s connection when going to the Ming King Mansion.

...

Several days later, at the Ming King Mansion in the Demon Capital.

Kong Zheng personally received Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong.

In the extraordinarily grand hall, Kong Zheng sat at the high seat, holding the Five Elements Five Directions True Light Treasure Fan, while Qiongqi stood beside.

Kong Zheng looked at Su Yuan and said, "When I first met you, you were just a Star Apprentice newly embarked on the path of being a Star Card Master.

In the blink of an eye, you’ve reached the Three Suns Realm, just one step away from me. Such talent is truly extraordinary..."

Kong Zheng’s words were full of praise, and his beautiful yet gentle and elegant face bore a slight smile.

Su Yuan respectfully said, "Lord Ming King overpraises, compared to you, I still have a long way to go."

The more I grow, the more I can feel the terror of the one before me.

When I first came to the Demon Capital, I heard from Wang Haiping that he was one of the top three experts in the Demon Capital.

And now it seems, there are only three kings in the Demon Capital—the City Lord, Dean Cai Qinglong, and Kong Zheng.

So, Kong Zheng is obviously among the top three, thus the initial understanding from Wang Haiping was limited.

Among them, Su Yuan hasn’t met the City Lord of the Demon Capital, but Dean Cai Qinglong... being specialized in specific skills is probably not Kongming King’s match.

Kong Zheng smiled and then asked, "So, why have you come to my Ming King Mansion this time?"

"Reporting to the Lord Ming King, I have just returned from the Southern Continent and had made an agreement with Bai Ze..."

Su Yuan immediately informed Kong Zheng about the encounter with Bai Ze and the agreement made.

Qiongqi’s expression darkened: "That Bai Ze actually dared to arbitrarily use Ming King’s things!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan’s eyes brightened.

Qiongqi’s words indicate that Kong Zheng indeed has the item to restore the king-level origin, confirming Bai Ze’s words were not false!

But after hearing this, Kong Zheng was not angry but instead smiled, nodding with satisfaction:

"Being inflexible can only lead one down the path many have walked. But strong ones must be adept at adapting and even breaking rules when necessary. From this perspective, Bai Ze has indeed made some progress."

Su Yuan’s heart slightly stirred, he couldn’t help but raise his head to look at Kong Zheng once more.

Kong Zheng sat composed above, with a serene smile, and though his words were simple, they were filled with great confidence.

It’s not mere talk; rather, it seems to be the experience gained after breaking rules multiple times.

Being around such a master, it seems that just exchanging a few words can yield some gains.

After pondering for a while, Su Yuan suppressed his thoughts.

The most important thing right now is still the teacher.

Su Yuan asked, "Lord Ming King, regarding the agreement with Bai Ze..."

Before Su Yuan finished, Kong Zheng raised his hand and unfolded the treasure fan in his hand, and soon a vivid aurora-like glow emerged from the fan.

In that instant, Su Yuan could sense tides, blasts, barrenness, growth... various kinds of powers from it.

"These are indeed what I obtained by refining the treasures after slaying the king-level." Kong Zheng looked at Su Yuan and said slowly.

Su Yuan’s heart trembled, just sensing it quickly revealed so many different powers. Could Kongming King have slain so many king-levels!

"I’ve heard about Yang Yifeng’s situation at the Demon Capital Academy before. If Bai Ze truly becomes a king, I can provide the origin and heal him."

Kong Zheng did not refuse at all and agreed directly.

Su Yuan’s eyes lit up, he immediately stood up and bowed, "Lord Ming King is truly straightforward, Su Yuan thanks the Ming King here!"

But Kong Zheng’s gaze fell on Luo Bingtong beside Su Yuan, and he smiled: "If it weren’t for Little Bingtong, I wouldn’t be so agreeable."

Seeing this, Su Yuan could only express his thanks again.

Luo Bingtong also followed Su Yuan, "Thank... Thank you, Uncle Kong."

"Hmm..."

Kong Zheng looked at Luo Bingtong and nodded slightly, with rare affection in his eyes.

"Then next, you should stay at the Ming King Mansion for now, as soon as there is news..."

Before the words were finished, Kong Zheng suddenly looked up towards the outside, his eyes slightly moved.

"It seems, I came just at the right moment."

Su Yuan and Qiongqi both registered slight changes in their expressions, realizing something.

In the next moment, a swift arrow-like Golden Feather shot from outside, instantly landing in Kong Zheng’s fingers.

This Golden Feather was specifically given to Bai Ze by Kong Zheng, besides being a token, it also served for communication.

After Kong Zheng checked it, he showed a thoughtful look without revealing much expression.

No need for Su Yuan to urge; Qiongqi couldn’t contain himself and asked: "Lord Ming King, how is Bai Ze?"

Kong Zheng regained his composure and smiled: "Though it’s slower than expected, it’s accomplished!"

"Roar!!"

Qiongqi’s eyes widened, and he leapt up from his chair in delight, very happy for Bai Ze.

And Su Yuan’s heart also filled with joy, he immediately stood and asked: "Lord Ming King, about the earlier agreement..."

"Of course." Kong Zheng nodded and smiled, "Since it’s done, there’s no need to wait for Bai Ze to return, follow me."

"Yes!"

Su Yuan’s heart was filled with joy, and he immediately followed Kong Zheng into the inner hall.
