National Games: Hang up from the zombie apocalypse

It turned out to be the case.

Fang Heng nodded to himself.

No wonder he found some of the card designs completely incomprehensible; it turns out it was the theory of card construction that he hadn't yet mastered.

That makes sense.

"Card levels are distinguished by the border color. Currently, the extraordinary-level cards with purple borders are the most suitable for your current stage of cultivation."

"The beasts have undergone special mutation treatment and cannot complete the summoning contract. Even after being summoned, they remain sealed. They are the most suitable for practicing various summoning techniques on them."

"You can choose any card to borrow later. After a week, the card will automatically return to your cultivation space. If you want to renew the loan, you can come back to me."

Fang Heng said, "Thank you, senior. I understand."

"Well, next I will introduce you to some practical techniques related to summoning. Listen carefully, and when you try to study the art later, you can try to incorporate these techniques to increase the success rate of contract summoning."

The white-robed elder nodded slightly and slowly said, "The beasts required for the contract in the Extraordinary level of Summoning Techniques are of extremely high level, often possessing advanced intelligence. In addition to effective suppression methods to subdue them, it is also necessary to establish a contract with the beast through mental communication..."

Fang Heng listened to the white-robed elder's teachings and pondered them silently.

Judging from the above, there is not much difference between advanced summoning techniques and ordinary summoning techniques. Both involve improving proficiency through repeated attempts at contract summoning until one masters and advances to the next level.

That means this thing can be farmed using zombie clones!
The old man is now rambling on about techniques for handling contracts.

For ordinary cultivators, these are experiences summarized from repeated failures and attempts, which are extremely important. A single insight may be equivalent to many days of hard work.

But he's different.

Since you can use zombie clones to quickly clear content, it's simply a matter of making up for quality with quantity.

Even if you fail, you can still gain skill experience points.

As Fang Heng listened to the old man's story, he looked down at the colors of the cards on the table.

The current purple-bordered cards correspond to extraordinary-level creatures.

There are twelve cards of corresponding levels in total.

The old man in white noticed that Fang Heng was distracted and immediately felt very strange.

What he said was extremely valuable experience for a summoner martial artist, so why did this kid look so distracted?

How could a martial artist who has cultivated to this level not even have this much focus?
The white-robed elder didn't understand, but remained respectful. He quickly ended the lesson, looked at Fang Heng, and nodded with a smile, saying, "You can give it a try."

"Ok."

Fang Heng's eyes lit up immediately, and he tried to pick up a card with a purple border from the table.

Whoosh!
Fang Heng tried to infuse his mental energy into the card, and the entire card immediately emitted a golden light.

Twin dragon beasts.

A ferocious beast with some dragon blood, it has two heads, each possessing the dual attributes of ice and fire.

"Roar!!!"

The twin dragon beasts were summoned from the card to the cultivation space. As soon as they appeared, they roared angrily at Fang Heng, but were firmly controlled by the sealing runes on their bodies and could not move.

The white-robed elder said, "Martial artist, the twin-headed dragon creature has been sealed away. There's no need to worry. Just focus your mind and use the Summoning Contract to construct the contract."

Fang Heng nodded slightly, but instead of directly using the summoning contract to bind the beast, he flipped his wrist and a stack of rune papers appeared in his right hand, which he then scattered into the air.

Bang! Bang bang!!
The Lickers burst out of the exploding rune paper and quickly formed pulsating cocoons on the ground after landing.

The old man in white robes looked at the fleshy cocoon on the ground and immediately showed a solemn expression.

what is this?
Special Summoning Ability?

Within seconds, the fleshy cocoons burst open one after another.

The zombie clone in its normal form crawled out of the cocoon and staggered toward the twin dragon beast, making a series of hand seals in front of it.

Under the effect of the mark, streaks of white light appeared on the bodies of the twin dragon beasts.

Um! ?

The white-robed elder's pupils contracted immediately upon seeing the white light, his eyes filled with surprise.

what?
Summoning Contract!?
Is it a mutated ability to materialize into clones?
Is he using magic to cultivate?
The ability to materialize clones is already extremely rare, yet this kid can actually use this ability to cultivate summoning arts?
Unheard of!

Fang Heng nodded slightly and looked at the old man in white robes.

"Senior, if you're not taking the cards with you, could you lend me a few more to use here?"

The old man in white robes was momentarily confused by Fang Heng's words.

He has been teaching here for so many years and has never encountered such a situation before.

Are there people who don't borrow cards and just waste their points cultivating in the cultivation space?

The old man composed himself and thought for a moment.

The Trial Grounds were opened to help martial artists improve their strength as quickly as possible, and the Realm Emperor set the rule for lending cards to prevent card losses.

Since we're not taking the cards with us, borrowing a few more won't hurt.

"Yes, as long as the cards aren't damaged."

"Thank you, senior."

Fang Heng thanked him, picked up the cards on the table, continuously injected his mental energy to trigger them, and then took out a stack of rune papers from his backpack and threw them into the air.

"Bang! Bang bang bang!"

The rune paper exploded again.

The Licker emerged from the exploded runes and quickly entered a split state upon landing.

One begets two, two begets four...

At the same time, Fang Heng reached out and took out all the remaining purple cards on the table, summoning them one by one.

In just two minutes, thousands of zombie clones gathered at the training ground.

Each summoned beast was surrounded by layers upon layers of zombie clones, while white light continuously emanated from the beasts as they were constantly being bound by contracts.

The old man in white robes had never seen such a scene before, and he was still somewhat bewildered as he sat in his chair.

"senior."

Fang Heng then looked at the old man.

"senior?"

The white-robed elder regained his composure, looked at Fang Heng, coughed lightly, and asked, "Ahem, what is it?"

Fang Heng glanced at the table and asked, "Are there any more extraordinary-level cards?"

The old man's face darkened.

Listen to this!

What kind of talk is that!

The card production process is difficult, and each card takes more than half a year to complete. Do you really think it's as easy as picking up cabbages from the roadside?
Fang Heng had already gotten the answer from the old man's expression, and sighed inwardly.

"or……"

Clinging to his last glimmer of hope, Fang Heng looked at the white-robed elder and tentatively asked, "Do the other teaching instructors have any extra? I'll try to borrow some from them?"

The white-robed elder was amused by Fang Heng's words and waved his hand, saying, "There are no more. All the teaching cards from the Trial Grounds are shared here. There are a total of 327 cards here."

"Is that so... What a pity..."

Fang Heng thought to himself that it was a pity.

Forget it.

Then we'll settle for second best.

Fang Heng reached out and placed his hand on the higher-tier orange card. (End of Chapter)
