The white-haired school beauty sighs every day, yet he keeps getting stronger.

Zhang Ziyang touched the storage space in his belt and took out "Annotations on Yuan's Basic Combat Techniques".

Using the bookmarks that had been placed beforehand, quickly flip to the locations of the "Snake Coiling Method" and the "Pneumatic Method".

He quickly skimmed through it, then closed the book and set it aside, silently digesting the information.

Both of these methods are used to practice the basic combat technique called "Entanglement".

The Serpent Entanglement Technique is applicable to card masters whose Soul Cards are monsters or alien species.

This method emphasizes "the spirit following the snake's movements".

The "snake" here does not refer to a specific animal, but rather to the part of the card master's body that temporarily transforms into a beast after using a soul card.

From a certain perspective, the bestial body is the outward manifestation of the spirit influencing the body.

By concentrating your energy on this part of the body, you can more easily perceive and sense the flow and changes of spiritual energy.

Then, through a lot of practice, get used to this feeling and eventually master it!

Finally, one can make one's spiritual power coil around the body like a snake, and wherever the mind goes, that is the direction the snake will bite.

The laws of air movement are suitable for card masters with strange and unusual soul cards.

The abilities of these card masters' soul cards are rather abstract.

Unlike the other two types of card players who can transform into beast bodies, materialize plants or tools, and directly demonstrate their abilities.

To learn how to "entangle," one must rely on imagination.

Unlike the snake-entwining method, the qi-movement method requires the card master to imagine their own spiritual power as a gathering and dispersing flow of qi.

The key is to "let the Qi move at will".

The learning process is also very simple.

It means using the Soul Card's ability, but holding back and keeping it stable in a state of being ready to unleash its power.

The abilities awakened by the Soul Card are similar to the bloodline power of monsters and demons.

Even without knowing the principle, one can still consciously invoke it, as if the method is deeply imprinted in the body's instincts.

The Qi-based method involves the card master working backwards to understand the process of using the soul card's abilities and to perceive the changes in their own spiritual power at that instant.

By using the answer and known conditions, we can reverse the process to find the missing information.

类似1+？=2，反推出2—1=？，所以？=1。

The Qi-based method utilizes this principle to allow card masters to deconstruct and become familiar with their own soul card abilities, thereby understanding the role that spiritual power plays in this process of change.

Once you understand this, you can make your spiritual power gather, disperse, and deform like "qi" according to your will, thus completing the practice of "entanglement".

After clarifying his thoughts, Zhang Ziyang felt that the pneumatic method was more suitable for him.

From the moment his Soul Card awakened, he mastered true Qi!

Qi is the embodiment of the combination of spirit and will.

Compared to the more abstract and seemingly intangible spiritual power, it is much clearer and more tangible.

After consuming the essence of a high-level demonic dragon to obtain the Crimson Demonic Flame, he attempted to combine it with Qi.

After a series of experiments, the Southern Fire Qi was finally obtained.

now think of it.

This Southern Fire Qi must be the product of his unconscious use of "Entanglement" combined with the Crimson Demon Fire.

In other words, I already had experience in successfully using "entanglement"!

It was like the final, most challenging question on an exam; I had just reviewed it several times in the past two days.

It's no different from an open-book exam; the difficulty is extremely low.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ziyang was in a great mood. He summoned the companion soul card of the Flame Dragon Armor and began to repeatedly "combine the armor" and de-transform.

A few minutes later, he stopped and slowly raised his palm.

"Boom~"

A ball of scarlet demonic fire, the size of a child's fist, instantly appeared out of thin air and hovered above the palm.

Zhang Ziyang had a sudden thought.

The flames immediately began to dance according to his will.

In a moment, it transformed into a ring of flames, spinning rapidly around the wrist.

In a moment, it transformed into a tiny snake, about an inch long, which crawled along the back of my hand, flicking its tongue.

It then solidified into a long, fiery sword, which it used to thrust left and right, slash upwards and downwards.

Its lively and unrestrained appearance was as if it had come to life.

After Zhang Ziyang had had his fill of playing, he voluntarily dispersed the scarlet demonic fire and nodded in satisfaction.

With the experience accumulated from gathering the fire energy of the south, plus the guidance of the Qi movement method.

Sure enough, it didn't take him long to master the first basic combat skill, [Entangle]!

Zhang Ziyang couldn't help but laugh when he recalled his rough and unruly way of using Nanli's fiery temper.

That's like sitting on a mountain of gold and begging for food!

It's no different from an emperor digging the ground with a golden hoe!

After learning the basic combat skill [Entangle], he didn't seem to have any obvious improvement on the surface, but in reality, he grew tremendously!

Zhang Ziyang could guarantee it with his hand on his chest.

Now, he is more than capable of easily defeating the three or four versions of himself who didn't know basic combat skills!

The reason lies in the fact that this technique for utilizing mental power has extremely strong applicability.

Regardless of which armor you switch to, you can significantly improve the precision of your elemental manipulation.

Furthermore, this basic combat skill can be combined with armor skills, making it more versatile and flexible.

There is a common basic understanding in the card artist community.

When the difference in Soul Cards is not significant and there is no attribute advantage, a Card Master who knows Combat Skills can easily defeat a Card Master who does not know Combat Skills.

That's the reason.

The same skill, if the card master does not know combat skills, can only be used in a simple way like a monster, with little variation and insufficient flexibility.

Those skilled in combat techniques can make the same skills incredibly versatile!

Suppose we have two card masters whose soul cards are both plant vines.

They are at the same realm, have the same Soul Card grade, and even their Soul Card abilities are the same: "Vine Whip".

The only difference is that A knows the combat skill "Entangle," while B does not.

The two are now fighting, simultaneously activating the "Vine Whip" Soul Card ability.

After B solidified the vines into a physical form, he could only simply have multiple vines lash out at him at once.

The armor that can "entangle" has more varied countermeasures besides the same options.

1. He can use "Entanglement" to make the vines he summons become thicker and stronger, like multiple iron wires twisted together into a steel cable. This way, the force of his attacks won't be dispersed like B's; when he strikes, it's like a monster's giant tail slashing down, making the attack much more powerful!

2. He can also use "Entangle" to combine vines into shields, walls, armor, nets and other items with considerable defensive power for defense, and then look for opportunities to strike.

3. He can even multitask, defending while secretly sending some vines underground to cover himself with soil or other objects, quickly and stealthily approaching B, then launching a surprise attack.

In addition to the above, "缠" has many other uses.

The ability to adjust tactics in real time based on the actual situation is the transformation that combat skills bring to card masters!

Without combat skills, you only have one card in your hand: Soul Card.

Battle skills, on the other hand, can give rise to multiple variations of your Soul Card abilities, greatly enriching your card pool and making it easier to fight enemies.

It's obvious who is stronger and who is weaker...

After learning the [Entanglement] technique, Zhang Ziyang became very enthusiastic.

Learning just one basic combat skill can bring about a dramatic change in a card master.

If I were to learn the remaining three basic combat skills as well, wouldn't I be able to take off immediately?

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to pick up "Annotations on Yuan's Basic Combat Techniques" and turn to another basic combat technique that Lin Weiwei recommended he learn - "Charge"!

Unlike "entanglement," which requires precise control, rushing is much more expansive and dynamic.

Its entire process consists of only two steps: compression followed by release.

The effect is simple and direct: it enhances the power of the Soul Card skills.

It can overcome the odds and turn the tide at crucial moments!

The downside is that it consumes a lot of mental energy. Repeated use can easily lead to mental exhaustion, causing dizziness, headaches, or even fainting on the spot.

There are also three learning methods for 【冲】.

Snake Coil Technique: Suitable for card players whose Soul Cards are monsters or exotic species.

Cloud Formation: Suitable for card players whose Soul Cards are plant-based artifacts.

Qi Condensation Method: Suitable for card masters with bizarre and unusual soul cards.

Having gained experience from studying the "Entanglement" technique, Zhang Ziyang skipped the first two sections and flipped to the Qi Condensation Method, beginning to concentrate on reading.

He looked even more meticulous and serious than when he was preparing for the college entrance exam in his previous life.

Even if Huangfu Yue came in a bikini and started acting provocatively, he wouldn't be distracted at this moment!

I love learning. Learning makes me happy and makes me stronger!
