Chapter 430: Listening Trial
After leaving [The Way to Break the Momentum], Shi Li still felt quite tired.
Playing with the Broken Brigade is actually quite stressful, and customizing the scenario cards is also quite exhausting.
So he just fell headfirst onto the bed and didn't want to get up. He fell into a deep sleep without knowing when.
I don’t know when I will wake up.
I looked at the date and there were still several days until the next round of competition.
"Then let me look at that mission again."
So he opened the panel.
[Collect A-level or above wizard cards: 1/1]
[Collect Grade A or above Pig Cards: 1/1]
[Collect A-level or above monk cards: 1/1]
[Collect A-level or above dragon cards: 1/1]
[Using only these 5 cards including the False Saint, defeat the Wind Emissary: 0/1]
This time, the copy crystal is shown as available.
“It’s OK indeed.”
Gently squeeze the crystal and a panel that needs to be filled pops out.
There are several boxes on the panel.
The top box needs to be filled with [False Saint].
As for the mage cards, only a few of the cards in his hand met the requirements.
First of all, [Master Fahai] there is no doubt about this.
He is both a monk and a master, which meets the requirements.
Then [Horned Magician], this one was a bit unexpected.
The correct pronunciation of this card is Horned Demon-Mage.
Its projection is a wizard from the Horned Demon Clan. I didn't expect it to be so powerful.
The last one surprised Shi Li the most.
It turned out to be [Demon Hunter], a card based on the prototype of Thirteen.
What kind of wizard this guy was, he couldn't understand.
Among the three cards, [Master Fahai] is definitely the first choice.
In fact, [Horned Magician] is also very powerful, a giant summoning card.
If facing a demon card, [Demon Exterminator] will definitely perform at his best.
【Master Fahai】
Wisdom, 30 points, A
Attack 30, 130/130, 4/4
[Strong Body - Passive]: Master Fahai's maximum health +30
[Mana Suppression - Passive]: When Master Fahai's energy is fully charged, his attacks will have a 1-turn [Imprisonment] effect
[Fragment Collection - Passive]: For every 2 active skills released on the field, Master Fahai gains 0.5 energy
[Great Dragon - 3 Energy]: Master Fahai obtains the Dragon Card Tag and reveals any one of his own Dragon Cards
But [Master Fahai] has control and can also work with the Dragon Card.
Then there are the pig cards, which Shi Li has quite a lot of.
There are wild boars, domestic pigs, pig-headed men and the like, but none of them are A-level or above.
He had already thought of which one to fill in.
That’s right, it’s the panacea brand, [Beginning Stick].
[Beginning Stick] can even be filled into several other slots, which is its panacea attribute.
However, Shi Li did not intend to fill it in directly, but wanted to use his talent as a card player.
[Kung Fu Sheep God] + [Shi Stick] = [Sheep Shi Shen]
Temporarily fuse the two cards and then look at them again.
It can indeed be filled in the pit.
There are several S-level cards that will inherit the panacea attribute of [First Stick] after temporary fusion, and [Kung Fu Sheep God] is one of them.
The card of [Sheep God] has no changes compared to [Kung Fu Sheep God], except for the addition of a universal label.
For the monk brand, there is not much choice.
The only one that is A-grade or above is [Sweeping Monk].
But it's also a good first row card.
For the last dragon card, there are many options.
Shi Li didn't even look at the A-level ones.
[Soul Dragon] [Five-clawed Golden Dragon] [Golden Soul Dragon King] [Five-clawed Spirit Dragon] [Dragon Beginning Stick], and so on and so forth.
There is a strange little detail here, which is that the mage card is not required to have the word "mage" in it.
The following cards must have relevant words.
[Spirit Lord] cannot be included because it does not contain the word "dragon".
Not knowing what was going on inside the dungeon, Shi Li chose the more versatile original version of the [Five-clawed Golden Dragon].
In this way, the total number of cards carried is:
[False Saint] [Master Fahai] [Sweeping Monk] [Sheep God] [Five-clawed Golden Dragon], these five.
After making your selection, enter the copy.
Buzz!
As his body felt lighter, Shi Li felt as if he was traveling through time and space.
When he landed, he found himself standing in a bamboo forest.
A quiet bamboo forest with singing birds and fragrant flowers.
This is quite hearsay.
There was a path beside the gurgling stream, and he walked along the path deeper into the stream.
After walking slowly for about 10 minutes, I saw a small courtyard.
There was a woman sitting in the courtyard.
To be honest , he didn't know the Wind-Listening Messenger.
Because the opponent would change according to the level every time, I didn't have the chance to reach the seventh level of Tingfeng to see its true appearance.
What's more, he couldn't tell whether the person in front of him was the Wind-Listening Messenger or the Wind-Chasing Messenger who turned into a temporary Wind-Listening Messenger.
"I didn't expect it was you who opened this instance, Shi Li card player."
The other person turned his head and looked over.
As soon as he heard the steady tone, Shi Li made a judgment.
The original Wind-Listening Messenger, now undoubtedly the temporary Wind-Chasing Messenger.
"So this copy is..."
So he asked.
"It's just a copy of an S-level mission."
The answer given by the messenger who listened to the wind was equivalent to no answer.
During this period, there were nearly a hundred copies of this type that her subordinates were responsible for, it just depended on whether anyone opened them.
"Shall we begin then?"
Shi Li didn't think too much about it. He just wanted to see how difficult it would be to challenge the Wind-Listening Messenger.
I am a little worried that the other party will also call on the gods and play something like the "Wind-Listening Card".
But I'm a little curious and want to see what the [Wind-Listening Card] looks like.
"Okay, then...
Welcome to the Trial of Listening."
The messenger Tingfeng stood up upon hearing this.
She made a gesture of invitation, motioning Shi Li to come over to her side.
“The first level is the wrist strength level.
Please send out your card followers."
"ah?"
Hearing this, Shi Li was dumbfounded.
"This mission...isn't it a card game?"
"No one said this was a card game level."
"But what does this have to do with Di Ting?"
"Isn't there a word 'listen'?"
“This is too far-fetched!”
Ignoring Shi Li's complaints, the Tingfeng Messenger waved his hand and threw out a card.
Buzz!
The card turned into a follower in mid-air before it landed.
【Anytime! 】
This is a robot follower with a tall body. The mechanical structure of the right arm is obviously different from that of the left arm, and it is several times thicker.
There are also hydraulic turbines and other configurations on it.
"What did you say you were comparing?"
"Wrist strength."
"What a shameless person..."
“No, the robot’s strength measurement is the most standard.
Victory is victory, defeat is defeat.
That’s fair.”
The last sentence of the Wind-Ting Messenger reminded Shi Li of someone.
He had previously said that even with only 5 cards, it was impossible to make the simplest 6+1 game.
It turns out that the task is not the card game at all, but a project outside the card table.
But then again, what card should I use for the first item?
"Is it best of 5?"
After thinking for a while, he asked.
"What are you thinking? Of course you have to win all the games to pass."
The Wind-Tinging Messenger looked at him strangely.
"All right."
Anyway, he didn’t think about passing the level the first time, so he just threw out [Master Fahai].
Let’s test the waters first.
“Oh, sorry.
My card is left-handed."
Shi Li said this while looking at the Kirin Arm robot opposite him.
"It's okay."
The Wind-Listening Messenger just smiled and snapped his fingers.
【Instructions received! 】
The robot's chest opened to the sides, and a pair of relatively slender mechanical arms extended out.
Then it started to dismantle itself.
After a while, it moved its right arm to the left, and it looked perfectly natural.
The Messenger of Listening to the Wind said: "That's all I need."
Shi Li: “…”
To be honest, Shi Li didn't know which of his cards had the greater wrist strength.
Judging from the appearance alone, it seems that Master Fahai is the most muscular.
This guy's attacking style at the poker table is really solid, maybe he really has the best wrist strength.
It should be feasible to arm wrestle with a robot.
Then the Messenger Tingfeng waved his hand and released a small arm-wrestling platform made of blue light energy.
Due to the huge size difference between the two, she flicked her fingers again, and like magic, the Kirin Arm robot shrunk to almost half its size.
Both sides took up their positions and made preparations.
With the command from the Wind-Listening Messenger, the countdown began.
"3, 2, 1..."
Bang!
The outcome was decided in an instant.
【Amitabha, I am sorry. 】
"..., you are really rude."
Shi Li was too weak to complain.
Because Master Fahai was the loser.
"Sorry, you have two chances left."
"Um?"
"If you fail the challenge three times, you can only try again after 10 days."
It was the first time that Shi Li heard this statement.
Previously, I thought that in 5 games, I should have a great advantage since my S-level cards accounted for 40%.
The result was completely different from what I imagined.
Sure enough, even the weakened mission is still difficult to complete.
“That’s not right.”
But when he thought about it carefully, he felt something was wrong.
Because according to the original mission, the 5 cards are fixed.
In other words, if you try the arrangement and combination of the 5 cards a few more times, you will definitely pass the level.
You can't set tasks that people can't complete.
Is the collection stage that I skipped the most difficult part?
"Come again."
There was no point thinking about it now, so he decided to give it a try.
[Master Fahai] No, but [Yang Shishen] should be fine.
I had originally planned to keep the first level, but now it’s obviously not possible.
"Okay, so the first level this time is the level of meditation."
"..., to be honest, you are the real Wind Chaser, right?"
Shi Li couldn't help it.
The Wind-Listening Messenger just smiled and snapped his fingers.
Bang!
Two large alchemy furnaces appeared out of thin air in front of the two men.
"The one who is the first to give out after being burned by the Dan Fire will be the loser.
Also, I would like to remind you that I only have five followers in battle."
The Wind-Listening Messenger did not put away the Kylin Arm Robot.
"Why does it sound to me like there are more than 5 levels?"
"That's right."
"So which level should I challenge..."
"It all depends on my mood."
"You are amazing."
It seems that the other party intends to let the robot undergo calcination.
This metal's resistance to burning is obviously stronger than flesh.
In your own cards...
"Then I'll take this one."
Shi Li threw out [False Saint].
A monkey fell to the ground.
He just saw that this monkey follower inherited the abilities on the card.
You burn iron, so I burn stones.
At this level, he has confirmed his victory.
Because theoretically, this monkey cannot be burned to death.
When the flesh can no longer bear it, it turns into stone.
If the stone exists for a period of time and is not destroyed, it will turn into flesh again.
The body couldn't bear it anymore and turned to stone.
The cycle of flesh → stone → flesh → stone is repeated over and over again.
I am a new stone every time. Can your pile of scrap copper and iron burn me?
"Both parties' followers, please enter the furnace."
Following the order from the Tingfeng Messenger, they each led their followers into the furnace.
There is a double time flow rate inside the furnace, so people outside do not need to wait long.
Shi Li felt that it only took about 30 seconds to decide the winner.
There is no doubt that the [False Saint] won.
"Congratulations on passing. Next level is the wrist strength level."
"You want to get back at me right away, right? I won't let you this time."
Regardless of the outcome, Shi Li directly summoned the [Sheep God] this time.
However, he neglected that the Kirin Arm Robot had just participated in the meditation level, so it could not participate in the arm strength level.
The messenger who listened to the wind sent out a fairy follower with a slender figure and dressed in satin and silk.
"You're going to use this thing to arm wrestle with me, the big sheep?"
"Do you know what Tian Ji's horse race is?"
“…”
Shi Li curled his lips.
Yes , the other party has a way out and can lose, but you can't afford to lose.
If the Sheep God had not shown mercy, he would have broken the fairy's arm.
There were 5 levels in total , and he passed 2 of them in one go.
"Congratulations on passing. Next level is the escape level."
"Escape?"
"Put your followers in the Warcraft Abyss. Whoever comes out first will be the winner.
If you are knocked down by the monster first, you will be considered a failure."
After hearing this explanation, Shi Li cried out what a pity.
I feel like the previous level could have been passed simply by using Fahai, so it would definitely be appropriate to let Yang Shen take on this level.
It is unmatched in strength and at the same time, extremely agile.
The other party really made him race horses for Tian Ji.
Fortunately, the individual combat power of the [Five-clawed Golden Dragon] is also very strong.
He decided to send this card.
As soon as the card was thrown out, it turned into a miniature golden dragon in mid-air.
It was about the size of a giant python, hovering and flying above the pavilion.
The card thrown out by the Wind-Listening Messenger was a swordsman floating in the air with his feet, and his eyes were completely white without pupils.
For some reason, this look reminded Shi Li of the [Blind Swordsman].
The styles of the two are very similar.
But judging from the momentum, this card should be an S-level card, which should be stronger than [Blind Swordsman].
After the followers of both sides appeared, the Wind-Listening Messenger released two portals.
The portal was pitch black with floc-like black energy faintly emerging from it, giving people an ominous feeling.
Under the isolation of black energy, nothing can be seen at all.
The blind swordsman clearly has a natural advantage in this environment.
But Shi Li was not afraid. Why is the [Five-clawed Golden Dragon] called the Golden Dragon?
Because it glows by itself.
