A few days passed, and the news of creating the purple card came out. It seemed to have some impact on Zhou Chuan's daily life, but it also seemed not to have any impact.
In short, life goes on as usual and I still have to prepare well for the college entrance examination.
Until this day, the day of the preliminaries finally arrived, and the students who successfully passed the preliminary round of the Ghost Battle Road all got on the school's Northern Centipede mount Lingka and came to the competition venue.
This is a huge square located in the center of Baihu City. Several groups of students in colorful school uniforms have been waiting here.
If the preliminary round is just an audition and anyone who meets the qualifications can enter, then the preliminary round is a real PK with high school card makers from other middle schools in the city, which is a bit like the idea that one general's success depends on the sacrifices of thousands of others.
"Zhou Chuan!"
At this time, a young man in a pure white school uniform noticed the team from Chengfeng Middle School and immediately waved and greeted Zhou Chuan.
After reacting, Zhou Chuan immediately waved his hand in response.
If outsiders saw this scene, they would probably think they were very good friends.
But in fact, the two had only met once at the city-wide card-making knowledge theory competition for high school students when they were in the first year of high school.
That time Zhou Chuan came first, and the young man named Gao Chun came second.
"Good luck in the game."
Gao Chun stepped forward and patted Zhou Chuan on the shoulder, looking extremely friendly.
But he was still a young man with not much experience after all, and the competitive look in his eyes could not be concealed no matter what.
How could Zhou Chuan not know what he was thinking? He also smiled and said, "You should also try your best. We will meet in the finals."
"Sure." Gao Chun waved his hand and returned to the school's team.
As the competition time approached, the examiners in charge of this competition also took their positions one by one, including He Lengfeng, an operator from the Card Creators Association who he had just met not long ago.
"Let me briefly introduce the rules of the preliminary round to you."
He Lengfeng held a set of papers with the rules recorded in one hand, flipping through them and reading:
"The preliminaries are divided into two stages. In the first stage, everyone needs to choose the cards they need from the materials provided by the competition organizer, and make a spiritual card with a quality no lower than green and a category that complies with the rules of the war path within the specified time."
"The second phase is still the familiar strength test, but this time the test subject is changed from the examiner to your classmates. It is a simple 1v1. The winner goes up and the loser goes down. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
He Lengfeng nodded slightly and said loudly: "The online material library is now open. Please log in to the relevant app on your mobile phone immediately and select the materials you need."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chuan immediately took out his mobile phone and simply entered his personal information. The screen automatically jumped to an interface with the word "ghost" as the background.
Compared to the rare material library in school, the Card Makers Alliance is very wealthy. The library just for a preliminary round is full of items, and there are even blue-quality material cards.
What Zhou Chuan didn't know was that this online material library had different materials available for each person, and he happened to be one of the players with the highest authority.
After all, everyone's situation is different.
What if there really is some quick-handed fool who snatches those blue materials, and then recklessly uses bronze-level effort to create blue or even purple quality cards, and eventually dies of heart failure? That would be a big problem.
But for the best among them such as Zhou Chuan, Gao Chun and Yu Zhouzhou, there is no need to worry about these problems.
They have all experienced the physical strength feedback of blue or even higher quality spiritual cards, and are relatively durable. If anything really happens, they can still be rescued.
It can be said to be quite thoughtful.
"White shroud, tall hat, shackles..."
Zhou Chuan quickly selected the auxiliary materials, but he was a little worried when it came to the main materials.
But in the end, he still chose two blue cards, Soul of the Righteous Man and Mourning Stick, as the core materials, based on the idea that the higher the quality of the materials, the higher the probability of success. After thinking about it, he added two green materials, Hanged Man and Soul-Calling Banner.
So, we are ready.
"Has everyone finished choosing?"
Seeing that everyone had received their selected materials one after another, He Lengfeng confirmed it one last time, and after getting a unanimous affirmative response, he announced the start of the competition.
A streak of blue light flashed across the sky like a falling star, and the next moment, an endless black curtain covered the area, causing the contestants' five senses to weaken or even disappear.
But this is all temporary.
After all, card making is something that requires extreme quietness. In order to protect the players from external interference, some special measures are necessary.
"Pure black? Even the only blue field card in the city has been used. It seems that the League attaches great importance to this game." An operator exclaimed.
"Don't you know the nature of the Japanese? They'll test and tease you first, and once they find you're weak, they'll pounce on you and bite your neck."
He Lengfeng waved his hand casually, and the players' situation instantly came into view of all the operators, clearly visible: "Those wolf cubs have become more and more insidious in recent years. This time they are sending their own geniuses here for 'discussion and exchange', which is still the same trick of trying to cover up something."
"The alliance has made up its mind this time, and is determined to break off a few of their teeth."
The operator beside him nodded upon hearing this, and then said with some concern: "I heard that their Hundred Ghosts Project is in full swing. I wonder if we have any countermeasures."
"Don't worry, Jiuzhou has many talented people and beautiful scenery. They can't be arrogant."
As He Lengfeng spoke, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Zhou Chuan.
At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his brows furrowed with a serious look, and it was obvious that he was already immersed in the sea of mind.
"White Impermanence..."
In the spooky underworld, Zhou Chuan skillfully picked up the pen and dipped it into the spiritual liquid. After integrating the seven materials and a blank card into it, he wrote down the real name of the card with great swiftness.
Since I had prepared in advance, I did not pause in the step of adding rationality, until I came to the step of drawing the image and adding details, and then my writing speed was slightly slowed down.
Xie Bian, nicknamed "Seventh Master", is a man with a smiling face, tall and thin, pale face, long tongue hanging out of his mouth, and the words "One sight brings wealth" are written on his official hat.
The image features are quite distinct and can be completely copied from the image in your mind.
Details including the energy flow route and the composition of the spirit were also referenced by the Black Impermanence created earlier.
With the right time, place and people, it can be said that Zhou Chuan's card-making was half done before he even started; once he put pen to paper, 98% of it was done.
It can be said that it is a sure win.
"Contestant No. 66 Zhou Chuan, card made successfully!"
As a prompt sound rang out, first a purple light flashed, and then a long black and white rainbow shot straight up to the sky. The strong fluctuations of yin energy stirred up gusts of cold wind, almost tearing the pure black area apart.
Bai Wuchang, card making is successful!
