Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Huang killed the Demonic Dandelion Vine underground. As the parasite body was dying, the leech pods collapsed automatically. Ten of thousands of people and visitors of Xiaoxia City who were previously contaminated are now safe.
Lin Huang recalled Bai and Charcoal then summoned Tyrant. Since he upgraded Bai here, he thought he might as well upgrade Tyrant before the transcendents arrived.
“Upgrade Tyrant twice!” Lin Huang took out the last two Advance Cards that he had and used them. The two cards transformed into a golden glow and enveloped Tyrant. Tyrant’s gigantic body was covered by the glow like a giant cocoon.
Soon the cocoon broke, revealing a naked Sand Monster. The fats in its body cracked and fell off its body, it was now a muscular man. He was handsome and he was covered by a layer of gold armor attached to its body.
“Congratulations, you have received an Epic Monster Card – Gold Armored Genie.”
Lin Huang read its description and nodded with satisfaction. He recalled Tyrant and used a Specific Transformation Card headed to the border of southern gate underneath the ruins. He arrived at a quiet alley and transformed himself back to his original.
He walked out of the alley, it was crowded on the street. He found it odd. After asking around, he found out that the Demonic Dandelion Vine contaminated tens of thousands of people and created an uproar. Lin Huang had figured that the leech pods were absorbing Life Power when it had a tremendous increase of combat strength easier but he did not expect its parasitic ability to be as terrifying as this considered that it was only silver-level.
After walking around and listening to some rumors, Lin Huang checked into a hotel nearby. Although the battle was tough, it did not consume too much of his time. The total time that he spent underground was less than 20 minutes while the battle only lasted for 10 minutes. It was past 11 at night when he checked into the hotel, the transcendents of Xiagong City had finally arrived. There were six of them, they did not know about the parasites but they came as soon as they could when they sensed Bai and Tyrant’s presence.
When they arrived in Xiaoxia City, they were shocked to hear about the parasites. After failed attempts at searching for the two monsters, the transcendents did not leave but stayed in the city to investigate. Of course, Lin Huang was unaware of that. After he checked into the hotel, he was checking out Bai, Tyrant and the new Demonic Dandelion Vine card that he just obtained.
“Monster Card”
“Rarity: Epic”
“Monster Name: Four-Winged Blood Baron (God’s Servant)
“Type of Monster: Blood Demon”
“Combat Level: Bronze-level rank-3”
“Skill 1: Blood Spirit”
“Skill 2: Holy Power (Beginner)”
“Skill 3: Blood Sacrifice”
“Skill 4: Enhanced Regeneration (Beginner)
“Skill 5: Ultimate Speed (Beginner)
“Summon Authority: Activated”
“Remarks: When this monster is upgraded to a transcendent, the holy blood in its body will be activated and its abilities will increase tremendously”
“Card Remarks: Trainable”
“What does the god’s servant in the bracket of its name mean?” Lin Huang asked Xiao Hei.
“There’s trace amounts of holy blood in the monster’s body which explains why he has holy power in his skill.”
After hearing Xiao Hei’s explanation, Lin Huang looked at the new skills once again.
Blood Spirit was the ultimate upgrade of Blood Power for higher attack ability, the holy power came from the holy blood in Bai’s body. As for Blood Sacrifice , it would sacrifice its blood to increase its abilities temporarily. Lastly, Ultimate Speed would allow it to move at a transcendent’s speed.
After reading Bai’s card, Lin Huang then looked at Tyrant’s card.
“Monster Card”
“Rarity: Epic”
“Monster Name: Gold Armored Genie”
“Type of Monster: Genie”
“Combat Level: Bronze-level rank-3”
“Skill 1: Golden Armor”
“Skill 2: Super Robust”
“Skill 3: Super Regeneration (Beginner)”
“Skill 4: Ultimate Explosion (Beginner)”
“Skill 5: Ultimate Strength (Beginner)”
“Summon Authority: Activated”
“Card Remarks: Trainable”
Lin Huang looked at the new skills. Similar to Charcoal’s Absolute Defense , Golden Armor was a passive skill with a defensive ability was even stronger. For Ultimate Explosion , it was a passive skill that allowed its body to utilize the ultimate explosive force while Ultimate Strength was the ultimate form of Immense Strength , also a passive skill.
Lin Huang then looked at the last card for the Demonic Dandelion Vine.
“Monster Card”
“Rarity: Epic”
“Monster Name: Demonic Dandelion Vine”
“Type of Monster: Parasite”
“Combat Level: Bronze-level Rank-3”
“Skill 1: Leech Pod”
“Skill 2: Total Control”
“Remarks: Monster skill has yet to be fully discovered, three more skills on the way”
“Summon Authority: Activated”
“Card Remarks: Trainable”
“Xiao Hei, there are only two skills. What’s with the three skills that are on the way?” Lin Huang could not understand that as an Epic Monster Card usually came with five skills.
“The Demonic Dandelion Vine is a new species, as it is the first generation; it only has basic skills now and would gain more skills from learning them in the future.”
Lin Huang then looked at the two skills. Leech Pod would allow the Demonic Dandelion Vine to create leech pods that it could then control and target hosts. Following that, Absolute Control gave it the ability to control the host completely.
He then looked at his Exclusive Card, there were changes on it.
“Host: Lin Huang”
“Gender: Male”
“Age: 15”
“Combat Strength: Iron-level rank-3”
“Life Seed: Sly Hands (Rare)
“Combat Skill 1: Great Sword Scripture (Sword Skill)”
“Combat Skill 2: Thunder Sword (Sword Skill)”
“Combat Skill 3: Spectral Snowsteps (Body Movement)”
“Combat Skill 4: Cloud Steps (Body Movement)”
“Monster Skill 1: Blood Spirit”

“Monster Skill 4: Supreme Breath (Beginner)”
“Monster Skill 5: Immense Strength”
“Monster Skill 6: Magic Eye Deterrence (Intermediate)”

“Monster Skill 9: Boundless Vision (Beginner)”
“Monster Skill 10: Third Eye (Beginner)”
“Summon Authority: Activated”
“Available Number of Summons: 2”
“Remark: Passable”
Blood Power was replaced by Blood Spirit while Robust was replaced by Super Robust . Lin Huang raised his eyebrow and said, “Extract Demonic Dandelion Vine’s skill.”
“It cannot be extracted; your storage for monster skills is full. To obtain more monster skills, you would have to combine Skill Cards or delete the existing monster skills.”
“I thought I could get hundreds of skills if I accumulated hundreds of Monster Cards, I should have known there was a limit!” Lin Huang had always guessed that there was a limit but he did not know what it was. Well, he knew now.
He kept his Exclusive Card while showing off the three Epic Monster Cards he had in his hands. He was over the moon with his achievements. However, he did not forget that he owed Xiao Hei this time. He kept the three Monster Cards and smirked as he contacted Xiao Hei, “Xiao Hei, what did you get from engulfing the energy sphere?”
“Resurrection functions for cards.”
“What does this resurrection do?”
“If a Monster Card of a higher rarity dies, it can be replaced by another Monster Card of a similar or lower rarity. Rare Monster Card get two chances at resurrection. The first resurrection could replace it with a Normal Card while the second resurrection will definitely replace it with a Rare Card.”
“Epic Monster Card gets three resurrections. The first resurrection could replace it with a Normal Card while the second resurrection will definitely replace it with a Rare Card and the third resurrection, with another Epic Card.”
“Legendary card and higher would have more chances to be resurrected with the same order as the above.”
“All the replacement cards must have the same combat strength as the replaced card.”
“If the required eligibility is not met, the card will automatically disappear.”
“This sounds great!” Lin Huang was excited.
He had four Epic Monster Cards now, this new function could solve some of his concerns. Soon he recalled something important. He smirked again and asked, “Xiao Hei, I helped you get the energy sphere. Do I get anything as a reward?”
“I shall reward you 10 card draws but the kind of cards you get depends wholly on your luck, pal.”
“10 cards!” It was the first time Xiao Hei was so generous.
“Delay no more!”
