The night sky .
With a book in his hand, a black-clothed man was flying in a determined direction .
The book was opened in front of him .
One of the cards gave off an invisible presence that surrounded him .
This card was bringing him along with its flight .
Only after reaching its target would the card’s power disappear .
And so, for now, the black-clothed man didn’t have to do anything at all . He only needed to rest and prepare himself for the moment when he finally catches up and does his job .
With nothing to do, the black-clothed man checked the various other cards in the book .
He quickly had an expression of admiration .
——because all of his Teacher’s cards inside this book were specifically chosen for the sake of restraining that unique card .
Simply reading the card descriptions and how they were arranged in this book was beneficial to him .
When will I be able to reach Teacher’s level?
———perhaps not too long, after all, I’m the most excellent among my peers in this generation .
Even Teacher had to admit my exceptional talent as a card user .
The black-clothed man sighed and imagined the day that would become a reality .
At this point, the night sky had stagnated as the wind no longer blew .

Within the card book, the tracking card shined brightly .
This signifies that I’m about to catch up .
The black-clothed man prepared himself for battle .
A second later, he landed .
Boom!
Sand and rocks scattered everywhere .

Gu Qing Shan and the girl stopped .
Within the cloud of sand, a black-clothed man could be seen .
Even though it was incredibly delayed, he still made it here .
And since he knew that the other party had the ability to track them, Gu Qing Shan wasn’t foolish enough to use all of his spirit energy for escaping .
If he did, the two of them would eventually be caught up, but Gu Qing Shan wouldn’t have the power to counter-attack .
Gu Qing Shan readied himself .
He took out the Night Rain and put a quiver of arrows on his back .
“Is that him?” Gu Qing Shan asked in a low voice .
“No, that’s his disciple” the girl quickly answered .
She was currently holding the [Blood Sea God Army] card, a blood-colored light slowly drifting around her body .
——-she was trying to communicate with the Blood Sea, hoping to erase her previous status and become a card that belonged to the Blood Sea deck .
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan became less tense .
He could tell, the other party wasn’t powerful to the point where he couldn’t defeat him .
But his opponent was still a true card user .
A natural powerful Profession .
“It’s no good! I can’t beat a card user, I can only buy you some time, run!”
Gu Qing Shan shouted .
“You—— don’t have to do such——–” the girl bit her lip .
Why is this person so kind? He and I don’t know each other at all, but he’s willing to use himself as a decoy for me .
With tears in her eyes, she quickly ran away .
Gu Qing Shan stood between them and immediately attacked .
He immediately started off with Shifting Flurry!
Like blurred shadows in the darkness, arrows drew unpredictable arcs as they were shot out .
Seeing that, the man scoffed .
“An archer? Decent archery skills you have there, but such a low-ranked Profession won’t be able to win against me”
A card appeared in his hand .

Depicted on the card were several shields glowing in different colors that were constantly changing places .
Until finally, a blue shield appeared in the middle of the card .
The card vanished and instantly turned into a spherical barrier .
[Ranged attack barrier, this barrier will quintuple your defenses against ranged attacks, but lower your defenses against magical and melee attacks accordingly]
As soon as the barrier manifested, Gu Qing Shan’s arrows reached him .
Pock pock pock pock!
The arrows hit their marks, but none of them managed to pierce through the barrier .
“Pitiful archer, unless you are at least three times more powerful than I am, none of your attacks will even reach me”
The black-clothed man crossed his arms and pretended to sigh regretfully .

His archery skills are certainly very decent .
Unfortunately, that level of archery is completely insignificant in the face of a card user .
This was a simple natural difference in quality between Professions .
Unless he can advance from this basic Profession of ‘archer’ into a higher-ranked Profession that has more unique ranged attacks, the result of this battle is already decided .
The black-clothed man drew another card .
Enough theatrics, I need to catch that card quickly and report back to Teacher .
While thinking that, he noticed that the archer just dropped his bow .
“I surrender” the archer screamed out in despair .
The black-clothed man froze .
Tch, so not only is his Profession shitty, even the person is shitty .
If that’s the case, I can actually enjoy myself by torturing him to death .
After he completely disarms himself and kneels down begging for forgiveness, I’ll kill him .
His expression of despair and fury at that time would definitely feel exhilarating .
As for that unique card on the run——–
The black-clothed man glanced at the book of cards in his hand .
This was Teacher’s book, all the spell cards used to restrain that unique card are in here .

She won’t be able to get away .
After thinking everything through, the black-clothed man quickly made his decision .
He slowly spoke: “Surrender? A wise choice, but first, throw the quiver behind your back down as well, quickly!”
“Yes”
The archer quickly took off his quiver and tossed it to the ground .
His direct and decisive actions made the black-clothed man feel even more contempt .
But this was natural, as he never had a chance to win against me in the first place .
The black-clothed man glanced at the bow and the quiver in the sand and relaxed a bit more .
“Now, kneel”
While ordering that, he was staring at him, waiting to see his expression of despair and humiliation .
Of course, to prevent the reckless lashing out of a cornered rat, he maintained a card in his hand, preparing to use it at a moment’s notice .
The archer hesitated for a bit before puffing out his chest and mustered all his courage to shout: “A soldier can be killed but not humiliated!”
Then he turned and ran .
——as a long-ranged attacker, his Profession required him to be swift, so his running speed was indeed fast .
But what use is that?
The black-clothed man chuckled .
He put away the defensive card he prepared before and then he randomly drew a movement card and threw it out .
The card was activated .
The black-clothed man vanished and suddenly reappeared in front of the archer, perfectly blocking his path .
The archer was shocked .
As he was dashing for his life, he couldn’t possibly stop in time, rolling several times on the ground before struggling to regain his balance .
Not a bit more, not a bit less, he happened to stop perfectly at a distance of 10 feet from the black-clothed man .
“Is this what a card user is capable of?” the archer muttered at a loss .
The black-clothed man gracefully twirled a card in his hand and slowly replied: “Of course, for a card user, instantaneous movement within a short distance is nothing but child’s play, not at all a struggle like yourself”
He sighed: “Pitiful archer, choose, do you want to die, or kneel”
The archer also sighed .
His expression of shock and despair disappeared completely as he coldly spoke: “You are too arrogant . In truth, both arrogance and prejudice are nothing but danger to yourself in a fight”
Hearing that, the black-clothed man had a bad feeling .
——but there’s no one else around here, both his bow and arrow were already thrown away, what sort of danger could there be?
Trusting his instinct, the black-clothed man wanted to draw a few more cards .
But he realized a horrifying truth .
——-he was unable to draw any card, he wasn’t even able to move his hand .
This seemed to be some sort of restraining power .
But where is the enemy?
Damn it, I still have almost a hundred cards, countless abilities, and powers that I still haven’t shown .
If I were to fight at full power, this world itself would be shaken!
Who restrained me!
With deep confusion and unwillingness, the black-clothed man’s world turned to darkness .
During his final moments, he seemed to have seen the archer holding a sword and swung at him from afar .
Sha——–
His blood spilled everywhere, but quickly got scattered by the violent sword-infused wind that followed .
The body wasn’t able to handle the power of the sword phantom either, as it was finely diced and chopped up .
The spherical barrier was extremely potent in defending against ranged attacks, but it failed to even slow the sword down .
—–in fact, according to the rules of the card, this attack was actually considered a melee attack .
Secret Art, [Life Seeker] .
Within 10 feet, I seek out your life and extinguish it!
Gu Qing Shan ignored the corpse .
Because a person who approached a battle with a sense of superiority and arrogance wasn’t worthy of further attention .
He simply looked at the void of space in front of himself .
On the War God UI, the number that represented his total Soul Points value was increasing at a rapid rate .
