Soon, Ailongtan returned to his dormitory. Luo Jun checked with him again to confirm Ling Xin's reaction at the time. After confirming that there was no problem, he stopped worrying about it.

Let Ailongtan continue playing the role. Luo Jun put on Assassin's Cloak, secretly left the academy, and came to a remote mountainous area outside the city, where he took out the Chaos Card.

He first looked at the Dice of Heavenly Secrets panel, which showed that he had five chances left and more than three thousand experience points to level up.

I used dice to kill Madam Gao and fight the Source of Calamity before, but the Severity Coefficient of those times was not comparable to when dealing with the Saint's Remains, so the experience was not high.

Now, these dice are perfect for testing the effects of Chaos Card.

Luo Jun first took the cards out of the box, but they were not functional. He then took out a Big Joker.

Although the function settings require random drawing, the cards are not restricted to normal use. Even without activating the function, they can be played as regular playing cards without any problems.

So Luo Jun wanted to see what would happen if he held the Big Joker in his hand and launched a single draw.

As a result, when he activated the single draw function, the Big Joker's card suddenly changed, from the original image of an angel to a Blur Chaos, and then after a moment, it turned into a Diamond Seven.

So that's how it is. When you activate a single draw, all the cards enter a Chaos state. So it seems that even if you remember the order of the cards, you can't guarantee that you'll draw the card you want... It's no use if you draw a few more cards, because you can only draw one card at a time. The card will only be fixed after you make your choice.

Since that's the case, let's just use it.

As the Diamond Seven, a burst of red light appeared, transforming into seven square shields that revolved around Luo Jun. As Luo Jun moved, the shields moved with him.

To test the shield's defensive capabilities, Luo Jun took out the Elemental Construct Box and summoned two Flame Turret to bombard himself.

Although it appeared to be just seven shields with considerable gaps in between, in actual operation, these shields were clearly more intelligent than he had imagined, not just spinning randomly. When an attack was sensed, the nearest shield would automatically move forward to block it. Moreover, it seemed that the durability of each shield was calculated individually. Under the continuous bombardment of the Flame Turret, one shield quickly shattered, leaving only six shields continuing to spin.

After a round of testing, all the Flame Turret were destroyed, leaving four of the seven shields remaining.

Two Flame Turret shattered three shields... Considering the remaining four shields were also damaged to varying degrees, Luo Jun estimated that a Diamond Seven could at most withstand three Flame Turret, and the fourth would probably destroy all the shields.

From this perspective, Chaos Card are indeed far superior to the Construct Box. A single ordinary Number Card can defend against the main attack methods of three Elemental Trap Chess, which is hardly comparable to other Noble Phantasms of the same level.

However, looking at the numbers, you can only draw nine cards a day, while the Flame Turret only cools down in an hour, theoretically allowing you to set up over a hundred per day, and it doesn't depend on luck... So, the difference isn't that significant...

Then, Luo Jun randomly drew another card, this time the Spade Two.

The weakest attack card... Luo Jun nodded. Perfect, let's test it out.

With a flick of his wrist, the card transformed into a black arrow that shot out, piercing through a tree that would take two people to encircle in an instant. Its momentum didn't diminish, and it left a deep crater the size of a bowl in the rock behind it.

Luo Jun stepped forward to take a look. Its power was even stronger than a heavy sniper rifle, and this was only the lowest level, level two. What about level A?

Luo Jun still didn't use the dice. After all, the dice only had five turns, while the cards had seven. He planned to draw two more cards purely based on luck before using the dice to determine the direction.

Another one, this time it's the Club Four.

Hmm, a level four Curse... Luo Jun looked around and, seeing no living animals, used the Skeleton Ring to summon an Ancient Soldier and cast the Curse on him.

The moment the Curse was cast, the soldier showed a pained expression, followed by the appearance of thick, black blood vessels all over his body. Then, in a painful struggle, black pus flowed from his seven orifices, and moments later he turned into a pool of black liquid...

This scene was shocking. You have to know that the summoned Ancient Soldier are stronger than ordinary people, yet they couldn't withstand it and were instantly Curse Kill. And this was only level four. Their strength is indeed not weak.

The fourth card drawn this time was the Diamond J.

Good luck, a Character Card.

As Luo Jun released his grip, the card instantly transformed into a burly knight standing before him.

Including his armor, the knight was about 2.5 meters tall. Luo Jun, who was just over 1.8 meters tall, only reached his stomach. Moreover, this guy was not only tall, but also broad and burly. His armor was also very heavy. The most striking thing was the Tower Shield he was wearing on his left hand, which was almost as tall as him. The shield was painted with a large square pattern and had a thick spike at the bottom. On his right hand was a large mace that looked heavy and powerful.

This design perfectly matches the card; it clearly depicts a tall, strong, heavily armored warrior skilled in defense.

I just don't know how strong its defenses are.

Luo Jun gave the order, and the Knight of Diamonds immediately erected the Tower Shield on the ground, its spikes piercing the earth. The giant shield stood before Luo Jun, resembling a massive city gate.

Luo Jun raised his fist and slammed it down on the Tower Shield!

Bang!

With a deafening crash, the shield-bearing knight was sent staggering backward until his back slammed into a tree, bringing him to a stop. A clear fist-shaped mark was visible on the shield, and the spikes of the Tower Shield had carved a deep furrow in the ground. The knight's heels kicked up a large pile of dirt, demonstrating the immense power of the blow.

Even after suffering such a heavy blow, the Knight of Diamonds did not lose his balance and maintained his shield-holding posture.

"Not bad." Luo Jun nodded in satisfaction. He hadn't used his full strength in that punch, but he was confident that even Martial Combat Faction Heart Refining Realm would be unable to withstand it. The fact that this knight could barely withstand it showed that his defense was indeed quite good.

Then, Luo Jun summoned a squad of Ancient Soldier to attack, and ordered the Knight of Diamonds not to retaliate but to defend with all his might, wanting to see how agile he was.

As it turned out, this Knight of Diamonds, though seemingly clumsy, was surprisingly agile. His massive Tower Shield, made Knight of Diamonds of Movement Method and likely weighing over a thousand pounds, appeared remarkably light in his hands, parrying and blocking all attacks with ease.

This quality was even better than he had imagined. Luo Jun tested it several more times. Not only was the knight's armor sturdy, Protective Qi Strength also quite strong. The only drawback was that he had no ranged attack methods, and even the range of his aura was only a few centimeters around his body. He could not concentrate and extend his aura like a weapon, unlike ordinary Martial Combat Faction.

You could say he's basically a super-sized super soldier, but his greatest strengths are his toughness and stability.

Luo Jun did not remove the Diamond Knight, but picked up the card box and activated the Dice of Heavenly Secrets.

Draw a Character Card.

Since the Block Knight is still available, if the judgment is successful this time, only other characters can be drawn, and there will be no duplicates.

"Ding! Event Difficulty: 76 points; Final Points: 87 + 5 points; Event Success!"

A difficulty level of over 70 is a piece of cake for Luo Jun now.

He randomly picked a card, flipped it over, and saw it Heart Q!

As the cards were played, a flash of red light appeared, and a middle-aged woman with elegant attire and a dignified demeanor stood before Luo Jun.

Is this the Heart Queen? Luo Jun looked at the Queen's attire. It was predominantly red, a very soft color. Although her clothes were elaborate and gorgeous, there were always elements of hearts. Her long hair was piled on top of her head, with two protruding buns, also in the shape of hearts. "Great Master..." Unlike the taciturn knight, this Queen gave a slight bow as soon as she appeared, her tone very gentle.

"Do you call your master 'Master'?" Luo Jun looked at the Heart Queen and nodded. "It would be best if you could communicate with her... What are your skills?"

"I have practiced healing Law Technique for many years. Although I am not good at combat, I am quite confident in my healing abilities."

"Healing ability?" Luo Jun glanced at the Ancient Soldier beside him, then suddenly gave the Knight of Diamonds a wink. The knight understood immediately, swinging his mace and smashing it into the Ancient Soldier. The poor soldier was sent flying, landing with a thud at Luo Jun's feet. His chest was caved in, his limbs were twisted, and blood gushed from the bloody holes in his torso. He was clearly not going to survive.

"Give it a try!"

The Heart Queen immediately intervened. A soft white light shone from her palm, enveloping the heavily wounded soldier on the ground. The bloody holes in the soldier's body began to heal at a visible speed, his vital signs were maintained, and he was out of danger in the blink of an eye. Next, the soldier's limbs began to move, and his broken bones slowly began to reset.

Good heavens, this treatment method is far superior to the Water Healing Construct!

"Not bad, not bad." Luo Jun couldn't help but clap his hands in admiration. "So you only know how to treat, and don't you have any means of self-defense?"

The Queen of Hearts shook her head. "As the Queen, I naturally have guards to protect me."

It seems that these cards are indeed used in combination. For example, the Queen of Hearts heals from behind, Knight of Diamonds damage from the front. Each card has its own role, and they work together perfectly.

However, considering only her healing abilities, even if the Queen of Hearts had no Combat Power, her utility would still be quite formidable.

Next, Luo Jun summoned the Dice of Heavenly Secrets again and chose to draw Character Card.

"Ding! Event Difficulty: 77 points; Final Points: 84 + 5 points; Event Success!"

Very well, based on the information about the dice, Luo Jun drew another card, turned it over, and saw it Spade J!

Another knight?

With a flick of his wrist, a steel-armored knight in black helmet and armor, with a silver spade pattern painted on his chest, stood before Luo Jun.

This Spade Knight, though not as massive as the Knight of Diamonds, was still about two meters tall, much leaner in build. He carried a two-handed greatsword longer than himself, its blade gleaming and radiating a Killing Intent aura.

Judging from his appearance, he was a knight focused on offense... This kind of bloodthirsty maniac was clearly not someone to mess with, so Luo Jun decided not to use the Ancient Soldier for testing and instead summoned the Ancient Empress Aishiliya to give her a go.

Aishiliya was also a master of close combat. She could tell this knight was no ordinary person just by looking at him. She conjured Bone Blades resembling mantises in her hands and prepared to fight.

Without further ado, the Spade Knight swung his greatsword and charged forward, unleashing a barrage of attacks that momentarily overwhelmed Aishiliya.

"How are you feeling?" Luo Jun asked after watching the two fight for a while.

"Not bad... His attack strength is comparable to that of Honor Guard. Considering his much smaller size, his actual combat ability should be even stronger." While dealing with the Spade Knight's attacks, Aishiliya was still able to answer Luo Jun's question with ease, which showed that she was handling the situation with ease.

"Very good." Luo Jun nodded. He hadn't expected the Spade Knight to defeat Aishiliya at first. After all, Ashlia was an ace monster summoned at the cost of thousands of breaths, and should at least be at the level of the Xiao Wang. It was already quite good that a mere Spade J could do this well.

Luo Jun stopped the Spade Knight, then activated the dice and drew another card.

Another success! This time, the card drawn is the Club K!

As the cards were unfolded, what appeared before Luo Jun was a tall, thin old man wearing a crown, with a pale face and a gloomy demeanor.

"King of the Undead, pay homage to the Master!"

As soon as the Club Emperor appeared, he bowed to Luo Jun. The Death Aura emanating from him made Luo Jun feel a slight chill.

"Your abilities are related to death?" Luo Jun asked curiously, "A necromancer?"

"As an emperor, I am first-rate in both magic and martial arts," Club Emperor replied, conjuring a giant scythe with a wave of his hand. He wielded it with one hand and swept it horizontally, a blade of Blade Light spreading out and cleaving a large tree several meters away in half, the cut clean and smooth.

It wasn't too late. He raised his other hand, and black flames ignited in his palm. He sprinkled them on the ground, and after a moment, figures emerged from the ground. They were actually Skeleton Soldier wearing rusty armor!

A versatile Summoned Creature combines melee and magical abilities?

Based on this, the knights summoned by J should all be pure warriors, the Queen summoned by Q should all be pure mages, and the King summoned by K should all be well-rounded talents skilled in Magic and Martial Arts Dual Cultivation.

This is quite interesting... Luo Jun had the Club Emperor spar with the Spade Knight without using magic, and he actually managed to suppress the Spade Knight!

It's important to know that the Club Emperor's magic isn't just about Summoning. Because of Luo Jun's orders, he even concealed the death aura that enveloped his entire body, not to mention other Law Technique that aided in close combat. If he were to use them, even in melee combat, the Spade Knight probably wouldn't last three moves against him.

K is bigger than J...

Luo Jun called a halt to the fighting.

He had one last chance to draw a card, and only one die left. He had already seen the Jack, Queen, and King; only the two Aces remained unseen...

With that in mind, Luo Jun activated the Dice of Heavenly Secrets.

"Draw the ace!"

The two pairs of dice begin to spin; one pair shows 62 points, and the other shows 88 points.

"Ding! Event Difficulty: 97 points; Final Points: 88 + 15 points; Event Success!"

Okay, let me see what this last one is!

Luo Jun drew a card, and upon turning it over, a pair of holy wings came into view...

It is the Big Joker!

Luo Jun excitedly shook the cards, and a beam of holy light shone across the mountains and forests. Golden Armor and with wings as white as snow, slowly descended from the sky before him.

At the same time, Luo Jun heard the notification sound of the Dice of Heavenly Secrets in his mind.

"Ding, Event Success. Basic Experience Points: 97. Severity Coefficient by several tens of times. Final Experience Value: 970!"

What?!

This unusual information stunned Luo Jun...
