Dao Artifact Awakening Ceremony.

This is an imitation of the Tomorrow Sword's Tomorrow and Tomorrow form release ceremony, artificially recreating the Dao Field scenery.

The Tomorrow Society uses six days to prepare the ceremony, and then launches it on the seventh day to achieve a large-scale Dao Artifact awakening effect, and this period is the grand event of the whole city.

Yun Ye and the others' cultivation was just a taste, and Yang An quickly gathered the whole class to organize activities.

All kinds of activities that demonstrated ability and entertainment were written on the blackboard.

Such as Deduction Game.

Or some Spirit Law Card games.

Ideas were constantly being put forward, slowly enriching each day.

"So, let's start, let's see who is the final winner today! Do you know the rules? If you don't know, I'll tell you!"

Yang Yu held down the cards, revealing a wanton smile.

"I play a card, a Spirit Law Card, the Water Card and Fire Card merge, triggering the character's dual Spirit Law effect—All Things Silent! Forcibly freeze the opponent's target for one round, I want to freeze your main character!"

"Ahhh, to be frozen for one round at this time!!!"

"Hahahaha, this is my victory! Prepare to die!"

Yun Ye laughed sinisterly, knocking out Tian Jialun's last drop of blood.

"Damn, this is too much about luck, I was almost winning, but the Spirit Law Card just wouldn't come!"

Tian Jialun looked desperate.

"Haha, luck is also a kind of strength, maybe you'll take off next time."

Yun Ye patted Tian Jialun on the shoulder.

"As if I'll have a next time, I'm just one stroke away from being full!"

Tian Jialun was speechless.

"Indeed, losing six games in a row is also a weird thing, it seems you really don't know how to play games."

Tang Si then added another stroke to Tian Jialun's score.

Winning doesn't count, losing counts as one point, and the person who lost the most among everyone was Tian Jialun, who already had six points.

According to the rules, seven points count as a complete win or loss, and the losing side has to buy snacks for everyone, and the score is not reset.

After playing for a day, everyone should rotate once.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's move on to the next stage, all-out battle! One-on-one is indeed very dependent on luck, but it's different when it's many-on-many, the randomness will be greater, let's go again!"

Yang Yu put the tables together, making enough space for six people.

"With teammates, that means stronger cards can be used too, right? Sounds interesting!"

Wu Xianzhang occupied the right corner of two tables, wanting to sit alone.

"True Spirit's True Body Divine Power, right? And some combined attack methods, but I see on the card that it requires special conditions to be met, feels quite complicated."

Yun Ye sat down opposite him.

"Complexity and variety are what make it interesting. There are many decisive moves like this. Developing in a direction you like is the charm of this game!"

Yang Yu hummed, sitting in a row with Tang Si, while Yong Fa and Tian Jialun were opposite them.

"Yeah, many moves are indeed very interesting. We've also added quite a few of our own creations. If you're lucky, it can be very dramatic."

Tang Si chimed in.

Everyone began to draw cards.

The game is divided into: Character Cards, Divine Law Cards, Body Law Cards, and Spirit Law Cards.

Character Cards are drawn separately, three in total. One can be revealed immediately, and the other two are kept face down, even the owner cannot view them.

"Let's draw Character Cards first. Didn't Wei Yang win just now? Let's start with Wei Yang then."

Yang Yu said.

Everyone had no objections, and each drew a card.

"Hehehehe... Hahahaha! What is a child of Heaven's Mandate? I actually drew the strongest card! Seventh Seat, Zhuo Qi Lian!"

Just after drawing the Character Card, Yong Fa shouted and unfolded the first card.

"Wow, a god-tier card right off the bat, not bad."

"That's some luck."

Everyone was speechless.

This card is indeed the strongest Character Card in the early stages, but this strength only applies to the first stage. Drawing it in the first stage is considered blessed by Heaven's Mandate.

In other periods, it's just a very weak card.

『Seventh Seat · Zhuo Qi Lian: Top researcher, creator of multiple Unique Laws, completer of the Standard Spirit Pattern. During the Zhuo Qi Lian Character Card phase, any Dual Spirit Law can be activated, but requires additional Spirit Law Cards.』

Everyone also revealed their cards, all familiar names from the Tomorrow Society, even Wu Cheng used to be there. Now Wu Cheng's card is no longer sold. Although everyone has it, they hate this person, so they drew it out and didn't include it in the card pool.

Immediately afterward, everyone drew two more Character Cards face down, and then drew five Three Laws Cards.

"Divine Water Water Gold Gold?"

Yun Ye drew the unique Divine Law Card and checked its effect.

『Divine Law Card · Divine Sense: View a target's hand.』

Divine Law Cards have various special effects, Body Law Cards can restore Life, add status effects, or change the battlefield.

Spirit Law Cards can be used for attack and defense.

In the game, players have no specific teammates or identities, they can fight freely. The last player standing wins. If you form an alliance with a special Divine Law Card, multiple people can win together, but the Trust Divine Law Card is the rarest Divine Law Card, it's hard to draw if you're not lucky.

"Wei Yang goes first, play your card quickly."

Wu Xianzhang tapped his Character Card, eager to take his turn.

"Here it comes, here it comes... Divine Law Card · Divine Sense, Yong Fa, show us your card."

Yun Ye smilingly pushed the Divine Law Card in front of Yong Fa.

"Damn, are you targeting me right from the start?"

Yong Fa reluctantly revealed his card to Yun Ye. During this time, the others were shrouded in a hazy mist, unable to see. The mist dissipated after it was over.

"Body Gold Gold Gold Water."

Body Law Card · Life: Recover one point of health.

"Oh dear, oh dear, it seems even the heavens aren't helping you. You managed to draw the same attribute, so I can only apologize."

Yun Ye decisively made his move, playing a Water Card.

Yong Fa didn't have a counter card, so he had to be eliminated first. Otherwise, a character who could freely use dual Spirit Laws would be too abnormal.

"No defense card, deduct one point of health."

Tang Si smiled, tapping the table, and the five health points on Zhuo Qi Lian's character card became four.

Each character card has five health points. Once they're all deducted, the character is out, and the second character card is activated.

"Heh..."

Yong Fa wore a deadpan expression. His cards had been seen, so it was obvious whether he had a defense card or not.

This game operates according to the Five Elements' cycle of generation and destruction.

To counter a Water Card, an Earth Card must be used. He only had Gold and Water Cards.

"Continuing my turn, I sacrifice two Spirit Law Cards to extract spirit energy, obtaining a Water Law Card, and use two Water Cards, triggering the character's Spirit Law effect—Mist Water Array!"

Yun Ye activated his character skill.

White Teacher Yang An: A 3rd rank Scholar of the Fourth Agency, heavily injured due to a failed attempt to research the Body Water Transformation Law. He must be shrouded in a white robe to maintain stability, but he still gained something. During the Yang An character card phase, he can consume two Water Cards to activate Spirit Law · Mist Water Array, partially waterizing himself to evade attacks, lasting for one round.

"Damn, your luck is so good! You got two Spirit Law Cards that match your attribute right from the start, just enough for one round of invincibility!"

Tian Jialun was shocked.

Watching from the sidelines for an entire round was ridiculously awesome!

In this situation, you need to play an extra card to see through the Mist Water Array before you can attack, which obviously reduces the possibility of being attacked too much!

"My character isn't strong anyway, there's no need to target me. It's more suitable to eliminate Yong Fa now. His character card is too strong, he might kill someone right from the start."

Yun Ye directly kept a low profile, diverting the hatred.

"That's right, shouldn't we eliminate Yong Fa first?"

Yang Yu also incited.

Everyone immediately looked at Yong Fa with ill intentions, making Yong Fa unhappy and saying, "What are you looking at? I can take on five of you, you'll all be defeated under my hands later!"

"Good, very imposing!" Wu Xianzhang clapped his hands, then said, "Wei Yang, are you done? Do you still have a Divine Law Card?"

"Nope, nope."

"Turn ends, Tian Jialun, it's your turn."

Yun Ye had no cards left in his hand and could only end his turn.

"Consuming a Wood Card, activate the character Spirit Law, Dao Tree!"

Tian Jialun used the character effect first.

Physician of the Fields Tian Yu: A famous physician of the Second Seat, number 92, who once cultivated various spirit plants as a researcher, making great contributions. The high-yield Rice that helped the Tomorrow Society through its initial difficult days was also completed with the assistance of the Third Seat Chief. Now she is a physician who heals the wounded and rescues the dying, changing her direction. During the Tian Yu character card phase, you can consume a Wood Card to activate the Spirit Law Dao Tree, creating a golden Dao Tree that restores one point of health after two turns, then the Dao Tree withers. While the Dao Tree exists, the character will not die even if their health reaches zero, but will skip the current turn until the Dao Tree turn countdown ends, restoring one point of health, and until the health is not a negative number. If all Dao Trees disappear and the health is still negative, the character card dies.

"And then—Wood Card, attack Yong Fa!"

Tian Jialun smiled. This time, he must eliminate someone first, so he wouldn't be last.

"..."

"Wahahaha, I can defend!"

Yong Fa slapped a Gold Card down. Although it was somewhat counterintuitive, Gold was the attribute that countered Wood, not Fire.

The Wood Attribute represents vigorous vitality. Living plants are full of moisture, making them difficult to burn. Fire only weakly counters the Wood Attribute.

In this game, this weak counter rule does not exist; it has been simplified.

"Heh, you're celebrating too early, Yong Fa!"

"Body Law Card Body Born Lightning Current!"

Tian Jialun laughed and threw out another card.

Body Law Card Body Born Lightning Current: A swift Body Law, strike first! When an attack is defended, this card can be activated to make another judgment. The opponent needs to defend again, or they lose one point of health.

In other words, Yong Fa needed to play another Gold Card to negate it, or he would still lose health.

And the probability of gathering two identical cards at the start was relatively low. Tian Jialun felt he had a chance...

"Slap!"

"Weakling, very unfortunate, I have more!"

Yong Fa slapped down another Gold Card, his face full of arrogance.

He had a full three Gold Cards. Even if it happened again, it wouldn't be a problem. A mere weakling, trying to shake his victory?!
