Supreme Star Card Master

“Heh~ I’m just reminding you.” Yang Yifeng laughed heartily, as if the powerful aura just now was an illusion. “I know you act decisively, which is quite reminiscent of myself back in the day.”

Su Yuan shook his head and smiled, saying repeatedly, “Not at all, not at all.”

The master and apprentice chatted for a few more sentences. Su Yuan recalled the words Zhang Chengyun said earlier. After a slight hesitation, he said, “Teacher, I have one more question.”

“Go ahead.”

Su Yuan asked straightforwardly, “Are the number of King Level individuals limited?”

“Oh?” Yang Yifeng gave Su Yuan a surprised glance. “You actually thought to ask this?”

Su Yuan then recounted the earlier conversation he had with Zhang Chengyun.

“Is that so…” Yang Yifeng showed a thoughtful expression, then said, “This is not really a secret. It’s just that those who have not reached Radiant Moon Burning Sun knowing this would only add to unnecessary distractions, so usually, it won’t be told to Shining Star and Lower Three Levels Star Card Masters.

“But since you’ve already figured this out on your own, I won’t deceive you. Yes, the number of King Levels is indeed limited!”

Su Yuan raised an eyebrow. So that’s how it was?

Yang Yifeng said slowly, “And the reason the King Level is called the King Level isn’t just because of their strength far surpassing Burning Sun. It’s also because the ‘king seat’ needs to be contested!

“As for why this is so, it is related to the Heaven and Earth Star Power.

“The Star Power required to reach Bright Star far exceeds the Gold Level.

“And to enter the King Level, you need even more terrifying energy support!

“And this involves the Star Veins on the continent. Specifically, the top-level Star Veins that can support the ascension to King Level, also called Dragon Veins!”

Su Yuan naturally knew what Star Veins were. Natural Star Stones were mined from Star Veins.

But he didn’t expect that the King Level position was also related to Star Veins.

“Any Burning Sun on a Dragon Vein can use this Dragon Vein for cultivation.

“Once they break through to King Level, they will take the energy of the Dragon Vein. Naturally, others can no longer use this Dragon Vein to break through to King Level.

“It’s only when this person dies that the Dragon Vein might have the chance to accumulate energy and recover…”

“So, the number of King Levels is determined by Dragon Veins, including our Great Flame Country?”

Yang Yifeng nodded and said, “That’s right, at least Dragon Veins determine the upper limit. The East Continent’s Star Vein pathways are unique, being ‘sparsely in the middle and densely on the sides.’ Most Star Veins are distributed in the northern and southern poles, which is why our Great Flame and Qiguang chose to establish our countries at these two places.

“Even so, the number of Dragon Veins is limited. Besides those who have already reached the King Level and occupy the ‘king seats,’ the Great Flame Official reserves some spots.

“But these reserved spots are much fewer than the number of people who are expected to reach the King Level. The competition is naturally fierce.”

Su Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing this, Yang Yifeng reminded, “There’s no need to feel pressured now. Although I believe with your talent, achieving Burning Sun within ten years is possible. Then you will inevitably participate in the competition.

“But for now, just focus on entering Bright Star first. When you reach Burning Sun, there might be other opportunities.”

Originally, the matter of Dragon Veins wasn’t told to Low Stage Star Card Masters to avoid causing them undue worry.

If Su Yuan hadn’t almost figured out everything and asked directly, Yang Yifeng wouldn’t have voluntarily told him.

“Rest assured, teacher. Even if there’s no king seat to compete for…” Su Yuan looked up at Yang Yifeng, his words firm and resounding, “I can always create a vacancy with the blade in my hand!”

Hearing this, Yang Yifeng couldn’t help but be struck. After a moment, he grinned widely.

“You brat… Good, good!”

Yang Yifeng naturally understood what Su Yuan meant by creating a vacancy, which naturally referred to pulling someone from the king seat.

And how would this be done? It could only be through killing!

This meant, at the Burning Sun Level, he would have to face the King Level directly!

Though in Yang Yifeng’s view, Su Yuan was still young, one could say he was heedless in his youth, like a newborn calf unafraid of the tiger. But this courage and confidence alone were rare qualities.

Moreover, this confidence wasn’t blind but built upon his remarkable achievements and victories along his growth.

Even though Yang Yifeng thought that it was nearly impossible for a Burning Sun to overthrow a King Level, Su Yuan’s fearless and determined mindset still infected Yang Yifeng to some extent.

Even his own student, at just over twenty years old and at Gold Level, wasn’t afraid of the king seat competition. Would he, a former King Level with still ten years of life, just give up?

Of course not!

Compared to Cai Qinglong’s persuasion, Su Yuan’s words unintentionally reinforced Yang Yifeng’s determination for one last fight.

Even if there had been no results in over a hundred years, the last ten years might still bring a turnaround and a second chance!

The fire quietly burning in Yang Yifeng’s heart suddenly blazed intensely!

“Teacher, you…” Su Yuan could vaguely feel that something seemed to have changed in Yang Yifeng, and he couldn’t help but be slightly surprised.

“Hahaha, it’s nothing, just that I’ve suddenly figured some things out.” With his thoughts clear, Yang Yifeng was in a great mood. “Alright, I won’t say much else. Just be careful on this trip.”

“Yes!”

…

After resting for two days and allowing his Star Power Cultivation improved in the Star Mist Pool to settle, Su Yuan was ready to depart.

This time, going to the northern Fish Jumping Dragon Gate Conference, Su Yuan had already mentioned it to Shang Baiyu and the others.
