Chapter Summaries

The contestants learned that Major General Klee’s legacy tournament relied on random card draws, with the High School Alliance holding an advantage over most Huaxia District competitors. Lin Xiao discovered that his Creation Cube still worked despite the tournament’s restrictions, giving him a way to improve his cards as the first draw began.

• The tournament rules granted ranking rewards and made random card quality central to the contest, as Major General Klee had insisted on luck deciding who could inherit his legacy.

• Ke Nan sent ten Mammoth Beasts, five hundred Half-elf Archers, and nearly a thousand Arctic Ice Wolves against Lin Xiao, who split his forces and drew the enemy onward.
• Lin Xiao’s Ultra-Large Fire Elemental summoned other Fire Elementals and combined their power to unleash Meteor Fire Rain, devastating Ke Nan’s troops.

• Lin Xiao drew a Warrior Class Card, a level-six Ultra-Large Air Elemental Summoning Card, and a Defense Barrier spell card, but no Troop Card.

Lin Xiao defeated Yosel in the eighth round, entered the top ten, and drew Yosel’s powerful Ancient five-star Flame Molten Sea card. He discovered that six of the nine remaining contestants were from the Huaxia District, while the mentors focused on whether one of them could win the Divine Tomb’s inheritance and its mysterious treasure.

• Yosel’s Fire Elementals opened the battle with summoned troops and Fire Rain, but Lin Xiao used elemental barriers and Undead spells to protect his key forces.

• The mentors outside the Divine Tomb discussed the reversed Huaxia District–Ivy League balance, while the team mentors hoped a Huaxia contestant would win the inheritance and the mysterious treasure.

Lin Xiao fused several cards to strengthen Flame Molten Sea, which gained the ability to summon Pseudo Flame Lord Colbert and a huge elemental army. He faced Li Cheng in the competition and summoned Colbert, leaving Li Cheng stunned by the lord's appearance and Lin Xiao wondering whether the card's restrictions explained why Colbert was only a Pseudo Lord.

• Lin Xiao summoned Colbert, who declared himself Lord of the Flame Molten Sea and called forth a vast army of fire creatures.
• Li Cheng questioned how a five-star card could summon a lord, and Lin Xiao realized the card's restrictions might explain Colbert's Pseudo Lord status.

Lin Xiao defeated Li Cheng by using Flame Lord Colbert to cast the devastating Legendary spell Meteor Fall, then considered how to strengthen his cards for future matches. As the tournament narrowed to five contestants, Shen Yuexin received a bye, and the next round would determine the top three.

• Lin Xiao ordered his army to charge while Li Cheng rushed his own forces forward and tried to win before Lin Xiao could fully deploy his Fire Elementals.
• Colbert summoned a vast force of Fire Elementals and used their power to cast the Legendary spell Meteor Fall, destroying nearly every creature in the plane.
• Li Cheng was defeated and left behind three cards, including the Demon Legion card; Lin Xiao weighed strengthening the Flame Molten Sea, the Undead Legion, or the Berserk Demon Legion.

• Shen Yuexin advanced with a bye and drew two Ancient God Cards and one Mythic-grade card, leaving five contestants for the next round: Lin Xiao, Shen Yuexin, Wu Zhonglin, Aria, and Wang Xinhe.
• Hong Yunfei mocked the Ivy League University Alliance after only Aria remained, as the contestants prepared to compete for a place in the top three.

As the tournament matches began, Lin Xiao strengthened his Undead Legion and received a bye, while Major General Klee noticed an anomaly linked to Lin Xiao’s hidden relic. Klee reassured him that his secret was safe and hinted that reaching the final would bring a tremendous surprise.

• Major General Klee watched the tournament with two powerful figures and noticed that Lin Xiao’s cards had been altered by a relic, then saw one card mysteriously vanish.
• Lin Xiao merged his Demon Legion Card into his Undead Legion Card, creating an army of fifty thousand undead led by twelve Level 6 Undead Archmages.
• Lin Xiao entered matchmaking and unexpectedly received a bye, leaving him frustrated that he could not face any of his planned opponents.

• Klee told Lin Xiao he was one of the two contestants he favored most and promised a tremendous surprise if he reached the end, then departed without explaining what it was.

Lin Xiao, Shen Yuexin, and Wu Zhonglin reached the final three, where Major General Klee announced a survival defense trial to decide the winner and the heir to his legacy. After entering his assigned plane, Lin Xiao fused several powerful cards into an Ancient Five-Star Flame Molten Sea card and began covering the terrain with lava and fire creatures.

• Lin Xiao drew two Ancient God Cards and a Legendary Thunder Treasure, then fused the summoned forces into his Undead Legion and gave the Thunder Treasure to the Ancient Nether Great Mage.
