Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

Three days later.

Central Rampart City.

Knights carried boulders on their shoulders as they walked through the streets and repaired buildings that had collapsed due to war.

On the wizard tower, Chu Ming looked down from the high-rise window. The whole city was full of order and prosperity.

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a sudden knock on the door, and the black cat walked into the room humming a little song and holding a letter in its tail.

"Ren, that general asked me to give you this letter."

"Cornis?"

Chu Ming unfolded the letter and read it carefully.

After the orc army was defeated, the Fengyang Army finally had time to deal with the rebels and the beast king occupying Falcon Barrier City.

The legion dispatched the Half-King, and within just a few days, the rebels were defeated and fled, never to be a threat again.

They even followed the lead and arrested the domestic opposition who supported the rebels. The reputation of the opposition plummeted, and the supporters overwhelmingly called for the experiment to start early.

"Ten quotas for becoming gods..."

Chu Ming looked at the list. The first one on the list was undoubtedly General Cornis. He had eight pieces of king's blood and was undoubtedly the closest to igniting the divine fire among humans.

He looked down and asked in surprise: "Marcel is in there too?"

Although Marcel is also an invincible half-king with five royal bloods, he does not have an advantage in terms of age. He is already over 300 years old.

Equivalent to the elderly among ordinary humans.

"It should be the last battle with the orc army. He was seriously injured trying to cover me and made a great contribution, so he was also placed on the list."

Chu Ming continued to read. He even saw Andrew's name on the list, and couldn't help but have a look of astonishment on his face.

Andrew's influence in the empire seems to be much higher than he imagined.

"But I don't seem to be on this list."

After reading the entire list, he didn't see his name.

After looking at the end of the letter, Chu Ming suddenly realized.

It's not that he doesn't have a spot, but that he and Konis are not on the same list at all.

As the youngest invincible half-king in human history, Ren Brick has made great achievements in battle. He fought against dragons, defeated twelve kings, and attacked and killed the king of beasts, Musa Karim...

A single achievement would be enough to amaze the world, let alone what he accomplished all of them.

Not only in southern Xinjiang, a large number of his supporters also appeared in the Fengyang Empire, where news was more accessible.

Many people regard him as the savior and the most promising human being to become a god, and their voices even outweighed Cornish Shani.

"No wonder Belief in Godhead has been completed a lot recently."

It was the people's trust that allowed Chu Ming to enter a special list - the unrestricted list.

He is currently the only one on this list. As long as he signs and agrees, the empire will provide him with unlimited king's blood until he condenses twenty pieces of king's blood.

He was the first person from southern Xinjiang to join the empire's plan, and he was also the first half-king to join the unrestricted list. From this, we can see how much the empire valued him.

"I remember that Herbert, the black-scaled dragon king, also lit the divine fire after condensing twenty pieces of king's blood and became the dragon king."

His eyes flickered, "Twenty pieces of king's blood should be able to improve my success rate of igniting the divine fire a lot."

After thinking for a while, Chu Ming signed his name in the sacred contract attached to the letter and agreed to join the experiment of becoming a god.

The sacred contract glowed with golden light and slowly dissipated. Chu Mingruo felt something and looked up. He seemed to have established another connection with the majestic existence in the dark.

Konis mentioned at the end of the letter that the king of Fengyang Empire wanted to invite him to the royal capital for a meeting.

But the experiment of becoming a god was about to begin. In order not to let him waste his training time, the general secretly reminded him in the letter that he could decline politely.

Black Cat stood on the window and glanced at the letter in Chu Ming's hand several times. She whispered: "I forgot to tell you. Miss Isabel seemed to have said that after you finish your work on the mainland, remember to return to the Black and Red Continent. .”

Chu Ming was stunned, "Isabel?"

"Did she encounter any difficulties?"

Black Cat shook his head, "I don't know. Anyway, just wait until you are free and go back."

"Oh, by the way, remember to take me with you when you go back. I want to see it too."

Chu Ming shook his head, "The matter in the Orc Empire is not over yet. I have a hunch that a storm is brewing and there will be no way to go back in a short time."

"Say sorry to Isabel for me. After the crisis in the Orc Empire is resolved, I will go back to visit her."

"I know, I know." The black cat lazily basked in the sun and yawned.

Two days later.

The material channel between the third and second barriers was reopened, and a large amount of arms and supplies were transported to the central barrier city by magic airships.

Four half-kings were also on the team, and they brought the first batch of king blood from the god-becoming experiment.

In the underground secret room of the central barrier city.

Chu Ming walked towards the kings and said, "Mr. Konis, it seems we haven't seen each other for several days."

Konis laughed and walked over and gave Chu Ming a warm hug.

"I've been busy cleaning up the battlefield these days, but now I can finally practice with peace of mind."

The man opened his palm, and a black reagent bottle made of special material flew into everyone's hands.

Chu Ming got five of the black bottles. When he opened the bottle caps, he saw a king's blood spinning slowly with a red light.

Looking at the five black bottles in his hand, he couldn't help but sigh.

Every piece of king's blood here is the hard work of the knights' lifelong efforts, but they have contributed the most precious thing, which shows how great their sacrifice is.

"Don't worry, I will not let down your hard work."

Chu Ming sat cross-legged on the ground, opened all the black bottles, and swallowed all the king's blood in one breath.

This ferocious scene immediately startled all the kings present.

Whoever swallows the king's blood does not swallow it piece by piece, for fear that something unexpected will happen to him during the digestion process.

It was a good thing for Chu Ming that he swallowed all five pieces of king's blood at once, and the knights around him didn't even have time to remind him.

A half-king worriedly said: "The power contained in the five pieces of alien king's blood is already equivalent to the king's blood in his body. Isn't this too risky?"

Marcel, who had recovered, came over, shook his head and said, "His Highness has always been so... fearless."

He couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I originally thought that following His Highness to sack the royal city was bold enough, but I didn't expect that he actually planned to attack the orc army."

"But it turns out he was right."

Konis smiled and said: "You can't accomplish these things without extraordinary courage. Maybe we don't need to worry too much."

"The general is right."

The knights relaxed a little, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to swallow the blood of the alien king.

But they didn't dare to swallow all the king's blood in one breath like Chu Ming.

After the half-kings entered the meditative state one after another, the underground secret room suddenly became quiet.

Above the secret room is the central tower of the fortress city. The wizard supervises the entire city and is alert to all abnormal events to prevent the half-king in the secret room from being disturbed.

A week later.

Chu Ming opened his eyes, restrained his energy, and gradually stabilized his breath.

After Konis felt Chu Ming's aura, he opened his eyes and said in surprise: "Have you successfully condensed the sixth king's blood?"

The half-kings around him opened their eyes and looked at him in surprise.

The fastest one among them had just consumed the third piece of king's blood. Unexpectedly, Chu Ming digested all five pieces of king's blood in just one week.

All I can say is that he is indeed a ruthless person who dares to swallow five pieces of king's blood in one breath.

Chu Ming nodded, "Is there any more king's blood?"

Konis stretched out his hand, and three more black bottles flew into Chu Ming's hand. "There are only these three for now. The supply from the institute is not coming soon. After all, the king's blood issue involves too many forces."

"Excuse me, Mr. Cornish."

Chu Ming opened the black bottle and swallowed all the king's blood at once.

In fact, he also carries many treasures that can help him condense the king's blood, all of which were looted from the orc king's city.

Even if the research institute's supply of king blood hasn't arrived yet, he won't be idle.

The blood of the alien king stirred in his body. Chu Ming closed his eyes again and entered a meditative state. However, the surprise he brought to the kings did not stop.

Half a month later, after digesting six pieces of king's blood, Chu Ming successfully condensed the seventh piece of king's blood, which was higher than most of the knights in the secret room.

Two months later, Chu Ming digested six pieces of king's blood and condensed the eighth piece of king's blood, successfully reaching the previous level of Konis.

After more than two months of training, the strength of other knights has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

There were six and a half kings present, and Konis condensed the ninth king's blood.

The other half-kings have also reached the level of seven kings' blood.

Chu Ming and the six half-kings were sitting cross-legged in the secret room. From time to time, terrible aura would leak out from inside, and a layer of powder was scraped off the metal walls of the secret room.

Half a year later, Chu Ming struggled to break through to the ninth medal, reaching the same level as Konis.

But after that, it became extremely difficult to condense the king's blood.

Only when the tenth piece of king's blood is condensed can the two of them truly be qualified to ignite the divine fire.

However, it was very difficult for them to take this step, as there seemed to be an invisible barrier blocking them out.

one year later.

The other five half-kings have reached the ninth level, but Chu Ming and Konis are still stuck on the ninth level and cannot move.

Another year has passed, spring has passed and winter has come.

The central ramparts were covered with snow and brightly lit as the soldiers celebrated the night of crossing the New Year.

Someone breaks through.

Chu Ming and Konis broke through to the tenth at the same time.

"boom!"

The violent wind and fire suddenly appeared in the secret room. Chu Ming's aura was horrified and his body did not move. However, the terrifying pressure woke up all the half-kings from their meditative state.

Chu Ming and Konis floated slowly, their muscles and blood shining with divine brilliance, transparent and visible, and their heartbeats penetrated the chamber like thunder, echoing throughout the central barrier city.

The soldiers looked at the sky and saw only black silence, but their hearts palpitated inexplicably, as if something was born.

In the central wizard tower, the legendary wizards on duty mentally sensed everything that happened in the secret room. They all opened their eyes wide and said ecstatically: "Your Highness Renn, Lord Conis, we have broken through the tenth!"

There was constant noise in the wizard tower. That night, a large number of magical creatures or magic props flew out of the wizard tower, flying towards the empire and southern Xinjiang, telling the world about the news that happened in the remote central barrier city, but it was enough to shock the mainland.

In the secret room, Chu and Ming began to consciously control their momentum. After a few minutes, the secret room gradually returned to calm.

The kings stood up and saluted with envy and joy: "Congratulations to the two adults for successfully obtaining the tickets to become gods."

Konis landed with his feet on the ground and returned the greeting to everyone. Then he looked at Chu Ming and said with emotion: "Your Highness Renne, I didn't expect you to catch up with me so quickly."

"But you are the only one on the road behind."

The supply of king blood is limited. He has digested ten alien king bloods just by condensing the tenth king blood. If he continues to practice, he will only occupy the share of other half kings.

And he has already sensed his own limit, and there is no possibility of moving forward.

Chu Ming held the man's hand and said with emotion: "It doesn't matter if one person is alone. I go to see the scenery ahead for future generations. After me, there will always be someone who will embark on the same path as me."

Konis laughed freely and said: "Okay, okay, I look forward to that day."

…

Cornish left the secret room.

He was the first to finish his training, and there was still a lot of military affairs backlogged in the Central Barrier City, waiting for him to deal with them.

News of Chu Ming and Konis' breakthrough soon spread back to Fengyang Empire and Southern Xinjiang, causing an uproar throughout the world, and the news even reached the Northern Empire.

After receiving the news, the Orc Empire voluntarily abandoned the border and retreated the front line. Compared with the aggressive attack a few years ago, the Orc Empire now seems a bit low-key.

During this period, Chu Ming temporarily returned to the Wizard Tower to visit the gold and copper coins, as well as the black cat and green vines. After spending a few days peacefully, he returned to the secret room again to continue practicing.

In Magic Era 4518, four years have passed since the experiment began. The half-kings in the secret room one by one broke through to the tenth limit, obtained the qualifications to become gods, and left the secret room.

This year, Chu Ming just condensed the thirteenth piece of king's blood.

After breaking through the limit of the tenth piece, his speed of digesting the xenogeneic king's blood returned to normal, and it took him a year and a half to quickly condense three more pieces of king's blood.

It seems that the limits that Konis encountered do not exist here at all.

In Magic Era 4519, one year has passed and King Chu Ming's blood has reached fifteen.

Just when he thought life would continue to be peaceful, bad news came from the empire.

In order to seize the opportunity to become a god, the half-king of the royal family only prepared for one year before hastily lighting the divine fire.

The result was no surprise, the half-king's body and soul were annihilated in the divine fire, leaving one less candidate among the eleven candidates to become a god forever.

After the news came out, the whole country was shaken, and discussions and criticisms abounded. The half-kings who had originally planned to light the divine fire calmed down their impatience.

In the year 4522 of the Magic Era, two years passed in a hurry.

The secret room was extremely empty, with only Chu Ming left.

I don't know how much time passed before he slowly opened his eyes and let out a breath.
