Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 118: Chapter 104: Mutation, Capture Alive Chapter 118: Chapter 104: Mutation, Capture Alive “Bang bang bang…”

The yellow sand tsunami, cut by the 40-meter Raging Blade, could no longer converge, exploding and disintegrating on both sides of Lu Yingying.

However, at this moment, a strong sense of warning rose in Lu Yingying’s heart.

Looking closely, she saw that the Sand Devouring Beast was using the sky full of yellow sands as a cover, rushing quietly towards her.

Its right arm had somehow transformed into a more than two-meter-long ferocious Stone Spear, thrusting towards her with great force!

In a critical moment, although shocked, Lu Yingying didn’t panic.

She gripped her water-colored long knife tightly with both hands, precisely blocking the Stone Spear.

The massive force from the Stone Spear pushed Lu Yingying back several steps.

However, with the shock absorption of the Sea God Feather Armor, Lu Yingying did not feel discomfort.

Tightening the grip on her long knife, she was ready to charge and restrain the Sand Devouring Beast again.

At this moment, Lu Yingying suddenly felt the surrounding air growing a few degrees hotter.

“Is it done?”

Lu Yingying’s heart rejoiced.

Resolutely, she stabbed her long knife into the ground.

Forming seals with her hands, several Water Snakes shot out, entwining the charging Sand Devouring Beast.

“Crack crack crack!”

The Sand Devouring Beast roared, and in a brief moment, its star power surged, breaking free from the Water Snakes on its arms and legs.

At this moment, it suddenly felt the ground beneath its feet becoming scalding hot.

Looking down, a scorching Fire Lotus mark had appeared unknowingly.

Summer Yue held the Red Gemstone Wand, shouting loudly, “Fiery Flame Red Lotus!”

The Fire Lotus mark suddenly blazed brightly.

The Sand Devouring Beast didn’t have time to react before a fiery Red Lotus, with nine petals, burst out from under its feet.

The extremely compressed fiery burst roared, instantly engulfing the Sand Devouring Beast!

“What terrifying power…”

Seeing the roaring fiery elements ahead, Lu Yingying instinctively stepped back a few paces, pulling out the long knife at her side.

After more than ten seconds, the residual effects of Fiery Flame Red Lotus gradually dissipated.

At the explosion’s center, the rocky body of the Sand Devouring Beast was blown to pieces and charred black.

The dim light in its eyes struggled for a few more seconds before fading away, completely silent.

“We won!” Lu Yingying’s eyes brightened.

She let out a long sigh of relief, withdrawing the Sea God Feather Armor.

Turning to look at the slightly panting Xia Yue, Lu Yingying said in amazement, “How long has it been since the preliminary challenge, and you have already mastered the Fiery Flame Red Lotus to Great Success?

Amazing!”

During the preliminary challenge, Xia Yue had also used the Fiery Flame Red Lotus, but it was only at the Skilled Level then, far less powerful than now!

Although Xia Yue was also shocked by Lu Yingying’s Duan Hai cut, she couldn’t help but feel quite proud when she heard Lu Yingying say this.

“Great Success is an overstatement.

I just reached Master right before leaving.

Of course, during the last preliminary challenge against Lu Yi, I didn’t use my full strength either.

Otherwise, she couldn’t have withstood my move…”

Although she said this, Xia Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling quite grateful in her heart.

It was fortunate that this time, the magic fluctuation happened to increase the power by an extra 30%…

Xia Yue’s talent, “Mana Fluctuation,” added 5%-30% power to her fire skills each time she used them.

Although unstable, the upper limit was extremely high!

During the battle with Lu Yi, it wasn’t that Xia Yue didn’t use her full strength.

It was that the Fiery Flame Red Lotus, influenced by Mana Fluctuation, hit exactly 0%, with no addition or reduction.

Naturally, it was far inferior to this time.

Because of this, the fireballs Xia Yue released varied in size and power…

Over the past few days, Lu Yingying had naturally noticed Xia Yue’s instability.

She chuckled, switching the topic, “I’ll handle the Sand Devouring Beast’s corpse; you go dig for Red Fire Stones.

Maybe we’ll be lucky this time and find the Red Fire Essence Gold you need!”

“Alright!”

Xia Yue’s eyes also lit up.

The high concentration of fire elements in this valley, along with the presence of an Elite Star Beast at the Bronze Middle Stage, made finding Red Fire Essence Gold quite possible!

In fact, the two of them took this task because Xia Yue approached Lu Yingying.

Upon hearing the news of the Red Sand Flame Island route opening, Xia Yue wanted to find Red Fire Essence Gold to create a blue star device for the fire element.

However, it was a bit challenging for her, an Attack Mage, to go to Red Sand Flame Island alone, so she sought a helper.

Initially, Xia Yue thought of the best candidate, Luo Bingtong, who had demonstrated amazing strength, but she received a direct “no.”

No one had ever replied to her message with just a single word before, which angered the proud young miss of Demon City.

Yet, there was nothing she could do.

So, Xia Yue approached her neighbor, Lu Yingying.

No one in the top class was simple.

Despite her cute demeanor, Lu Yingying had considerable combat power.

Lu Yingying needed academic points and found the task of collecting Red Fire Stones suitable, so they teamed up.

At this moment, Xia Yue sensed an area ahead with an unusually high concentration of fire elements!

Excitedly, she raised her wand and sent a fireball flying ahead!

ƝοѵǤᴑ.с0

However, upon reaching the explosion pit, she found nearly ten units of Red Fire Stones but no Red Fire Essence Gold.

“Still nothing…” Disappointment flashed in Xia Yue’s eyes.

There was no Red Fire Essence Gold in the territory of this Sand Devouring Beast.

Other places with it might have stronger star beasts.

Dealing with this Sand Devouring Beast was already challenging; facing stronger star beasts would likely be too difficult…

Xia Yue felt a bit disheartened, looking at her Ruby Wand.

Without family support, not to mention blue star devices, she couldn’t even find a third-level material to create one.

That woman had already amazed everyone upon entering Demon Academy, earning respect from all.

Yet, her first outing was so frustrating…

“Little Yue?…”

After collecting the star core from the Sand Devouring Beast, Lu Yingying saw Xia Yue looking down and approached to comfort her.

At that moment, Lu Yingying noticed the ground behind Xia Yue shifting and something moving rapidly toward her.

“Watch out behind you!”

Lu Yingying shouted in alarm, leaping forward with her knife.

Hearing Lu Yingying’s scream, Xia Yue quickly turned to look.

But it was too late.

A lean, yellow-faced old man emerged from the sand behind her, striking her back with a concentrated force palm.

With no defenses up, Xia Yue was sent flying, spitting blood.

Already exhausted from earlier, her body weakened further, and she couldn’t stand.

“Little Yue!”

Lu Yingying cried out, charging at Ma Huaxiong with her knife in full force.

Ma Huaxiong, unfazed, gathered a thick mass of earth elements in his palm and met Lu Yingying’s swinging knife head-on.

“Bang!”

The collision reverberated, causing Lu Yingying to grunt and stagger back several steps, nearly dropping her long knife.

“Silver Middle Stage!”

Despite her shock, Lu Yingying wiped the blood from her lips, asking, “Who are you!”

Ignoring her, Ma Huaxiong smirked, approaching the struggling Xia Yue, stomping viciously.

“Mmm!…”

Xia Yue expelled more blood, her vision darkened, and she fainted.

“Xia Yue?!” Lu Yingying exclaimed.

“Fainting is convenient,” Ma Huaxiong nodded in satisfaction, lifting Xia Yue onto his shoulder and turning to leave.

After a deep breath,

“Put her down!” Lu Yingying shouted urgently.

Yet, Ma Huaxiong continued walking as if he hadn’t heard.

“Damn it!

Can’t let him take Xia Yue!”

Gritting her teeth, Lu Yingying summoned the remaining star power, deploying the Sea God Feather Armor again and gripping her long knife to charge.

She couldn’t allow Xia Yue to be taken by this malicious man.

Given a moment of using the Sea God Feather Armor, she decided to fight.

Against a regular Silver Middle Stage, she might have a chance!

Just then, Ma Huaxiong laughed, “You should worry about yourself.”

Lu Yingying’s heart raced; sensing something amiss, she looked around.

On surrounding hills, several people in yellow-brown robes stood watching.

Nearly ten in total, the weakest at Bronze Middle Stage, with three at Silver Level.

At their center, a square-faced middle-aged man emanated a Silver High Stage star power fluctuation!

“So…

many…” Lu Yingying’s eyes widened in fear, stopping in her tracks.

Ma Huaxiong, carrying the unconscious Xia Yue, approached Yan Song, “Got her.”

Yan Song grabbed Xia Yue’s hair, comparing it to a photo.

“It’s her.”

Ma Huaxiong’s eyes filled with hatred.

He slapped Xia Yue’s face hard!

The crisp sound reverberated.

Though still unconscious, Xia Yue’s nose and mouth bled, her left cheek visibly swelling and turning purple.

“Let’s go.”

“What about the other one?”

Yan Song glanced coldly at Lu Yingying, “Kill her and clean up their traces.

Don’t let them be discovered too quickly.”

“I understand.”

Ma Huaxiong handed Xia Yue to another Silver Early Stage man, “The ship’s here.

You go first.

I’ll finish up and return on the Nanjie Group’s ship.”

Yan Song trusted Ma Huaxiong’s work.

Once his brother’s right-hand man, Ma Huaxiong had a top-grade green soul card, strong and efficient.

“Okay, be careful.” Yan Song nodded, leaving with his men.
