The Energy Card Box's Wonderful Uses! Xiao Xuan's First Soul Bone?

The Energy Card Box's Wonderful Uses! Xiao Xuan's First Soul Bone?

Xiao Xuan wore a puzzled expression and immediately checked the status panel.

Sure enough, he found the relevant information inside.

After examining it carefully, he quickly understood.

So that green charging bar really was an energy reserve?

Once it was full, a special card could be generated from the opening at the top.

True to its name, it really was a card box!

But the problem was... this world had no concept of cards.

What was the point of making a card?

With that thought, Xiao Xuan did not dwell on it.

Practice was the only test of truth. Since the energy bar was full right now, he might as well give it a try.

Following the status panel's instructions, he activated it at once!

A dim green glow suddenly illuminated the entire card box.

The green energy bar visibly began to recede bit by bit.

Once it was depleted, white light appeared from the opening at the top, condensing a card out of thin air.

It fell directly into Xiao Xuan's hand, its border a deep green.

"Uh... it really is a Yu-Gi-Oh! card!"

"It suits the Three Illusion Gods Martial Soul rather well!"

"This is Equipment Magic. What can it do?"

He noticed the cross-shaped symbol inscribed in one corner of the green border.

With his knowledge of such things, Xiao Xuan recognized it instantly.

The Three Illusion Gods!

The foundation of this Martial Soul came from a card game called Yu-Gi-Oh!.

In its basic definitions, they were called "Monster Cards."

Correspondingly, there were also two other types: "Magic Cards" and "Trap Cards."

There were many further subdivisions as well, though there was no need to go into detail.

Simply put.

Equipment Magic was a type of "Magic Card." Just as its name implied, it referred to things like weapons, armor, and devices.

According to the system's description, in Douluo Continent, it actually corresponded to...

"Soul bones!"

"They're extra equipment for Soul Masters. The concept really is similar to Equipment Magic."

"I never expected the Energy Card Box to be used like this!"

"If Equipment Magic Cards correspond to Soul Masters' soul bones..."

"Then Monster Cards likely correspond to Soul Beasts, while ordinary Magic Cards may be soul skills!"

Drawing inferences from one example, Xiao Xuan instantly guessed the Energy Card Box's wonderful use.

His interest growing, he examined it closely.

After all, in this era.

Not only was Soul Tool technology underdeveloped, soul bones were even rarer.

Even a Titled Douluo might not obtain one or two soul bones.

They required both opportunity and strength.

If Xiao Xuan could use the Energy Card Box to produce multiple pieces of similar equipment...

He could increase his trump cards and even sell them.

Whether in exchange for money or other people's loyalty and friendship, he would profit without loss.

"Thorn of Hatred?"

"Equipment exclusive to the Plant Tribe?"

"Translated to this world, it should be similar to a soul bone dropped by a plant-type Soul Beast after death."

"In other words, it would be more suitable for plant-type Martial Souls."

"And it seems to occupy the Torso Bone slot."

On Douluo Continent, soul bones were mostly divided into six types.

They were the left leg bone, right leg bone, left arm bone, right arm bone, skull, and Torso Bone.

Beyond those, there were even more special External Soul Bones.

Once these "pieces of equipment" were fused, they were almost impossible to remove.

Even for a Titled Douluo, the price of forcibly removing one was unbearable.

Still, for the vast majority of Soul Masters.

Having such a precious item as a soul bone at all was already good enough. How could they possibly have room to be picky?

But Xiao Xuan was different. This Soul Tool, the Energy Card Box, meant he could produce multiple copies.

Even if the difficulty was fairly high, there was no need to be too desperate.

Take the Torso Bone before him, called Thorn of Hatred.

It did not provide any especially noticeable boost to any of the Three Illusion Gods.

The difference between their Martial Souls was simply too great. It definitely was not a high-quality choice.

After a brief consideration, Xiao Xuan made his decision.

"Not worth it!"

"For now, Spirit Hall is protecting me, so I won't face any overly dangerous situations."

"And in battles against opponents of the same level or even above my level, I can handle them as long as they're below level twenty."

"There's no need to rush into absorbing a soul bone that isn't very useful."

"There will definitely be better ones later!"

Having made his decision, Xiao Xuan did not use the card.

According to the instruction manual provided by the system on the status panel.

Once activated, these cards would turn into their corresponding items. If not activated, they could be preserved in this form indefinitely.

Since he had no use for it yet, keeping it as a card was naturally more convenient to carry.

"Only two people have the highest compatibility with a plant-type soul bone?"

"Either Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor or Yue Guan's Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum."

"What nonsense. Is there even a choice to make?"

Now that he had joined Spirit Hall, Tang San was definitely his enemy.

Besides, he already had no good impression of that guy.

Without question, if he was going to sell this soul bone, he would definitely fleece Chrysanthemum Douluo!

"I'll wait for now, until our relationship becomes more familiar."

"That'll also make it easier to squeeze more benefits out of him!"

"Still, this is pretty damn unfair. The cards it generates are completely random."

"There's no way to guess what I'll get next time!"

After looking through the Energy Card Box's information, it was absolutely impossible for Xiao Xuan not to feel frustrated.

Completely random—what the hell was the point of saying that?

Moreover, the energy needed to produce cards was not as easy to obtain as he had imagined.

The charging display had to be filled by absorbing the Soul Power of Soul Masters or Soul Beasts at close range.

And the greater the absorbed target's hostility and resentment, the better the effect.

In simple terms.

The tamed low-level Soul Beasts in Spirit Hall's Soul Beast Manor could provide a negligible amount of energy.

To fill it quickly, he would have to hunt Soul Beasts outside.

The higher their level and the greater their intelligence, the more hostility and resentment they would naturally have.

And if someone was foolish enough to provoke him, killing that opponent would also be a fine choice.

Of course, they needed to possess a certain level of cultivation and strength.

Ordinary people or low-level Soul Masters had too little Soul Power stored in them, so there was no point.

With everything sorted out, Xiao Xuan finally put his mind at ease.

He lay on the bed with his eyes closed, waiting for Hu Liena to come find him.

About two hours later, a soft knock sounded outside the door.

Hu Liena's naturally seductive voice, carrying a hint of delight, woke Xiao Xuan.

The moment he stepped outside, his eyes lit up.

The girl had changed outfits, now wearing a soft white short dress.

Her leather armor was gone, replaced by lightweight soft armor that revealed a touch of feminine charm amid her heroic air.

Compared to her usual cold beauty, she seemed a little more playful instead.

Most importantly, that already delicate, doll-like face of hers seemed to have been lightly made up?

Seeing this, Xiao Xuan's face twitched slightly.

You're using this to test a six-year-old boy?

Who wouldn't fail such a test?

"Let's go eat first."

"Then I'll take you around the Soul Beast Manor."

"What are you looking at? You're such a little pervert!"

Noticing the look Xiao Xuan inadvertently revealed.

Hu Liena smiled elegantly, understanding perfectly.

This boy really was not as innocent as he appeared, but so what?

Once she found her teacher and had him become her junior brother, could he still escape her grasp?

Well, no one ever said only Xiao Xuan was allowed to raise a loli while Hu Liena was forbidden from raising a shota?

Ahem, thank you to the brothers who voted with monthly tickets and recommendation tickets!
