I'm Here

As the Card World evolved, Su Miaohan was shy at first, encouraged by her best friend, but gradually became more and more uninhibited.

The card in Su Li's hand glowed, and the world's evolution came to an end.

In the card's image, Su Miaohan wore a loose black hoodie that covered her hips, black denim shorts, black stockings, and black ankle boots. She held Viper's Kiss in her hand, her gaze fierce.

Su Li's heart began to race.

You're testing me with black stockings? What Su Li could possibly withstand a test like that?

First, he checked the card's information.

[Shadow Assassin—Su Miaohan]

Rank: Bronze Tier Eight

Type: Character

Skills:

① Dark Affinity: Awakened a Dark-Type Ability and gained powerful control over dark energy.

② Shadow Gate: By consuming dark energy, she could open a Shadow Gate anywhere within seventy meters of herself, creating Black Mist and shadows to form a domain of darkness.

③ Shadow Sneak: Could merge into shadows without making a sound.

④ Shadow Assassination: Enhanced her strength with dark energy to deliver a deadly strike.

⑤ Shadow Leap: By consuming a large amount of dark energy, she could instantly appear in any shadowed area within thirty meters of herself.

Overview: A genius girl! Setting out to become even stronger!

She'd jumped three ranks! Su Li had directly acquired a Bronze Tier Eight card.

The card's name had also changed slightly. Su Miaohan had now become a true assassin.

Shadow Gate's range had increased by twenty meters, making it easier to prepare the battlefield.

She'd even gained a new skill! With Shadow Leap, Su Miaohan could definitely be called an outstanding assassin.

The energy cost seemed enormous. Once she used Shadow Leap, it had to be for a killing blow.

How high was their compatibility now?

Su Li was only Bronze Tier Three, while Su Miaohan was already Bronze Tier Eight. Only extremely high compatibility would let him use her card with ease.

The card's enhancement was complete, and Mystery Energy arrived right on its heels.

This time, Su Li had interfered with the Card World and helped Su Miaohan jump three ranks. Mystery Energy surged and poured into his Spirit Jade.

The Silver Tier coloration had originally covered twenty-four percent of Su Li's Spirit Jade. After he became a certified card enhancer, it had increased by another percent. Now it stood at twenty-five percent, putting him in the middle stage of Bronze Tier Three.

With the arrival of the Mystery Energy, Su Li's Spirit Jade rapidly improved: twenty-six, twenty-seven, twenty-nine, thirty!

He crossed a minor threshold outright, but the energy still hadn't stopped. It continued until the Silver Tier coloration covered thirty-one percent of his Spirit Jade, and only then did the Mystery Energy finally dissipate.

Bronze Tier Four!

Su Li opened his eyes. Mysterious light and shadow flickered in his pupils as he let out a deep breath.

Now he'd more or less reached Third High School's first tier.

He checked the time. The time he'd spent inside the Card World could practically be ignored. The passage of time seemed to differ from one Card World to another, and Su Miaohan's world had a very high ratio.

The huge difference in rank seemed to have made the world's evolution take longer. Absorbing the Mystery Energy and crossing that minor threshold had also taken some time.

He had a day and a half before his duel with Bai Moxue.

He'd keep strengthening his cards and increasing his power!

He still had to fight and win. For one thing, Bai Moxue's relentless pestering had made Su Li want to vent his frustration. For another, showing off his strength would make it easier to squeeze more benefits out of Third High School later.

Now he had to choose between [One-Tailed White Fox] and [Vampire Girl—Grantis].

After weighing his current strength, Su Li finally decided to enter the White Fox's Card World.

In the card's image, the White Fox raced through the forest, with a larger White Fox, covered in blood, chasing after it. That was its mother.

"I'm here, little fox."

Su Li projected an entrance into the Card World and entered alone.

Light and shadow shifted, and the Card World gradually came into focus. The air here was exceptionally fresh, but tinged with the smell of blood.

Su Li appeared in a forest beneath the blazing midday sun.

"Awoo!"

The world began to evolve!

In the distance, two White Foxes raced through the forest.

The mother fox was already covered in wounds. Bright red blood stained her white fur, matting it together and leaving her looking wretched.

The White Fox had no obvious injuries, protected by its mother.

Behind them, a gigantic spotted hyena let out a vicious roar, its blood-red eyes gleaming with amusement.

Several Wind Blades instantly formed and sliced through the trees along their path without the slightest resistance. They were razor-sharp.

"Whoosh!" The mother fox flicked her white tail, shoving the White Fox aside. Her tail swung back like steel, clanging as it knocked the Wind Blades off course.

Blood dripped from her tail, and patches of fur had already been torn away. She looked utterly miserable.

As if it had lost patience, the hyena suddenly accelerated. It could also ride the wind, which was why the Mantis Tyrant had sent it to hunt them down.

Its bloody maw gaped open. In just a few breaths, it had almost caught up with the White Fox, ready to bite it to death.

Pfft, pfft!

Two jets of blood struck the hyena's mouth and knocked it off course. It crashed into an ancient tree beside the White Fox, smashing it apart, then skidded to a stop. Its blood-red eyes shifted as killing intent filled the air.

[Holy Light]

God said, "Be healed!"

A holy light descended upon the mother fox, and her wounds began to stop bleeding.

"I'm here." Su Li's voice was gentle as he slowly stepped out of the shadow beneath a tree, revealing himself.

"Awoo!" The little White Fox cried out in delight and threw itself into Su Li's arms.

The White Fox was now as big as an adult husky. The collision nearly knocked the wind out of Su Li.

The Mechanical Motorcycle was parked beside him. He'd ridden fast to catch up with the three of them, so fast the wind had dried out his eyes.

The little White Fox buried its head in Su Li's arms, where it could feel the warmth it remembered from their first meeting.

So much time had passed. It had missed this human, and now, finally, he had appeared again.

Su Li fell silent and patted its head.

Suddenly, it began to glow. A gentle warmth spread from it as its pure white fur fluttered.

After seeing Su Li, the little White Fox's emotions burst forth, awakening the power that should have belonged to the Fox Clan.

Su Li set the little White Fox down and looked at its mother.

Holy Light's healing effect was limited on a high Bronze-tier mother fox, but it had definitely helped a great deal.

"Grr!" The spotted hyena roared savagely. The sudden appearance of a human made it wary, but it quickly sensed how weak Su Li was.

"Time to settle the score!" A blazing fury surged in Su Li's heart.

[Ice Blue Shield]

It would do little against a high Bronze-tier spotted hyena, but an extra layer of protection was better than nothing.

[Ice Rain]

Rain fell from a clear sky. Guided by Su Li's mental power, it distinguished friend from foe, and the drops that landed on the hyena gave off a faint chill.

The card was only Bronze Tier Three, but as long as the target wasn't above the Bronze tier, it could still have some effect.

Grantis stood on a branch of an ancient tree, activating Blood Frenzy!

"Grr!" The hyena roared. Compared with the pestering mother fox, it decided to deal with the human first. Wind Blades gathered to hold off the mother fox as it lunged at Su Li.

[Earth Wall]!

Ten thick Earth Walls rose instantly between Su Li and the hyena.

Crash! Crash! Crash! Crash!

The hyena's massive body smashed viciously through one Earth Wall after another. When the tenth wall shattered, it saw a graceful figure leaping down from above.

Grantis leaped down. Under her Blood Control, the blood around her surged and shot out as a spray of blood arrows.

At the same time, two sharp blood spears took shape. Holding one in each hand, she plunged down from above and thrust them at the hyena.
