Two days later.
Long Province, Ice City.
"This is the Ice City. It's my first time here." Zhu Yanbei couldn't help but say as he looked at the quaint long street in front of the station entrance.
"I heard there's a good barbecue restaurant nearby, let's go there and fill our stomachs first."
Zhou Chuan immediately took out his mobile phone and navigated to a barbecue restaurant that was very popular on the Internet. Of course, he had to fill his stomach before cutting (zou) and slicing (ren).
That Japanese classmate named Kuroki looked very exhausted.
"Classmate Zhou, and... classmate, I'm the full-time driver of the Zhao Group, and I'm here to pick you up." A young woman in black clothes and sunglasses who appeared out of nowhere spoke.
"Please tell Director Zhao that we two brothers will leave soon and will not trouble her." Zhou Chuan replied.
"Director Zhao has arrived, and our car is parked outside. Student Zhou might as well tell her so that I can report back." The woman in the black suit said with some embarrassment.
"knew."
After saying that, Zhou Chuan and Zhu Yanbei followed her to a deserted corner next to the station.
"Congratulations to classmate Zhou for winning the top spot." Zhao Xuanhua was still as bright and dignified as ever.
"Thank you." Zhou Chuan said softly.
"Who is this?" Zhao Xuanhua seemed to recognize Zhu Yanbei, and her eyes moved slightly for a moment.
"I am Achuan's senior, you can just call me Yanbei." Zhu Yanbei said.
"Hello, Zhu."
After a moment of silence, Zhao Xuanhua greeted Zhu Yanbei, which made him smile slightly. He never said his last name from beginning to end.
"Please get in the car, both of you."
Zhao Xuanhua said softly, and the two of them sat on the seats of the extended car one after another without being polite, and listened to each other slowly saying:
"Student Zhou Chuan also knows that my Zhao family has accumulated a lot in the field of ghosts. Our business is not big, but it also involves several small countries around us, such as South and North Korea, Japan... We have business partners, including a company called 'Kuroki Corporation'."
"It turns out that it was classmate Hei Mu who looked for Director Zhao." Zhou Chuan said softly.
"Student Zhou's guess was correct. He only said that he wanted the Zhao family to help him find a good place for the battle, and we couldn't refuse... But you two can rest assured. Our Zhao family knows what is right and what is wrong. Deep down, we still hope that student Zhou Chuan can win!"
"I understand, Mr. Zhao."
Zhou Chuan smiled.
It is said that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, but maybe that is just because it is not strong enough.
Although the world is no longer ruled by the Zhu family, as descendants of the founder of Ka Tu, they are still one of the most powerful families in the world and can certainly suppress the so-called Zhao family of Long Province.
This can be seen from Director Zhao's slightly nervous expression.
"I'll take you two to eat first. When the weather gets a little cooler in the afternoon, I'll take you to the Demon Slaying Tower to find Kuroki-san."
"Thank you very much."
Just like that, after a dinner with a weird atmosphere, Zhou Chuan and Zhu Yanbei were sent to the Demon-Slaying Memorial Tower.
Due to advance arrangements, this place is no longer open to tourists today. There are only a few pedestrians in the square beside the tower, and they are all acquaintances.
"Classmate Zhou Chuan, it's been a long time!"
Zhao Peng, still wearing a black suit and a "tour guide vest", raised his left hand and waved it back and forth, with an exaggerated smile on his face.
"Examiner Zhao."
Zhou Chuan waved from afar and said hello.
This was the referee he met in the first deck rematch in his life. He didn't expect to see him here again today.
"Haha, I knew Zhou Chuan won the No. 1 medal in the competition, so I told everyone I met. I didn't expect that only half a month later, Zhou Chuan gave me another big surprise. He became the top scorer in the college entrance examination. Congratulations!"
Referee Zhao Peng is like a water purifier salesman shouting "line up to get eggs", with a sly smile on his face.
"It's said that we are destined to be together. I will be the referee for Zhou Chuan's competition with Kuroki this time." Zhao Peng smiled and said, "Zhou Chuan will definitely win."
"Try your best." Zhou Chuan said with a smile.
At this time, another figure came from the side, and before he could see the figure, he heard the words: "Student Zhou Chuan, please don't show mercy later, and let me feel the power of Jiuzhou No. 1!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Kuroki. I respect my opponents. I won't let them win." Zhou Chuan said with a chuckle.
Hei Mu felt uneasy, but when he thought about how his "teacher" had given him permission to create two standard spirit cards before he left, he calmed down again: "That's good."
"Haha." Zhou Chuan smiled slightly, just like the sunny boy in the youth idol drama: "It's almost time to start."
"well."
"Are you two almost ready?" After receiving a positive answer, Zhao Peng slowly stepped back a distance and signaled the two to adjust their positions: "Now let me tell you the rules of the game."
"In this competition, you two can use any type of homemade cards. There is no limit to the length of the competition. It ends when one party loses the ability to fight or voluntarily surrenders. So... the competition begins!"
As Zhao Peng finished speaking, blue light was seen flying, and countless black shadows instantly covered the sky and pressed down.
Nofuton is a Japanese monster that will float up, cover people's eyes and mouths to suffocate them, and then suck the victim's blood.
To be honest, this is not a very powerful monster. If taken alone, it may not even reach green quality.
But large quantity often leads to qualitative changes. When these guys come in groups, it is no longer so easy to deal with them.
"Is the Corps stuck..."
Zhou Chuan smiled and took out countless storage cards that were not even white from his heart. With a snap of his fingers, countless small fruits covered with thorns fell like raindrops.
Kyogoku Natsuhiko mentioned in "Hyakumonogatari" that wearing cocklebur around the neck or placing it in the arms can avoid the disaster of wild quilts.
However, Zhou Chuan was not willing to carry this little thing with spikes on it, so he simply delivered the firepower all at once.
"what happened?"
Hei Mu looked at the screaming wild quilt that scattered in all directions, and his eyes couldn't help but widen.
He really didn't expect that the Legion Card, which had been invincible, would be defeated by these tiny plant fruits today.
However, he could also feel that his group of wild quilts had not suffered any actual harm, and these fruits had brought them more psychological discomfort.
"Keep going!"
Hei Mu gritted his teeth and commanded the wild quilt group to continue the charge, but secretly he held the two blue cards tightly in his hand.
But at this moment, something strange happened.
A purple light flashed above Zhou Chuan's head. When Hei Mu came to his senses, he could no longer find the other party.
"What are you looking for?"
A chuckle sounded in his ears, and Hei Mu subconsciously wanted to retreat, but he ran into an extremely cold "high wall" and was bounced to the ground again.
"Hundred-eyed ghost! Earth spider!"
Kuroki instinctively blurted out two words in Japanese.
What spread faster than his voice were two cold blue lights like ghostly fires.
Zhou Chuan, who was hiding in a corner and watching the whole scene, couldn't help but chuckle: "Is this your confidence? Two standard cards are not enough."
