Dinner was: mince pie, clam chowder, pan-fried fish fillet, raspberry jam, and the dessert ended with milk pudding.
Lin Xiao returned to the second floor, clicked on the "Food Synthesis" interface, and made three "Happy Breads" in case of emergency.
Tonight is the qualifying match for the top 64 players in the world. It’s an extraordinary event and the results will be announced tomorrow.
Tonight, Lin Xiao decided to continue practicing card making.
Pick up the gold card-making pen, confidently inject more energy, and outline the fourth-level practice lines on the blank card.
He could clearly feel that his perception of textures was more acute, and combined with the first-order and second-order textures published on the Internet, he laid a solid foundation.
It won't be too far before the card maker reaches level three, optimizes the texture of "Ice Lance" and improves the quality.
[Card Evolution] There are many ways to evolve cards, such as duel, strengthening, texture optimization and even emotional bonds, all of which have the possibility of evolving cards.
Lin Xiao also had no idea that "Ice Spear Technique" could evolve. After all, the chance of this was too small.
If this could all evolve, Lin Xiao was really afraid that he would be playing a card-drawing mobile game with his lifespan...
Ice Spear Technique: "..."
For everyone, I want to become stronger!
On the investigation team side, the secretary told him the latest news:
"The captain's source power has increased, and the card master's level has exceeded the fourth level."
The higher the card master's source power is, the more powerful the cards he can control, so you don't have to just get the card to use it.
The source power value is related to the card master's own spirit, belief, and experience.
After undergoing an A-level commission, Chu Yun's upper limit of source power was increased, which Lin Xiao expected.
"Is there any news about the Demon God Altar?" Lin Xiao kept thinking about it.
"Well... The headquarters has sent people, but the investigation is very difficult... You are on vacation anyway, so you can spend this week with peace of mind~" Sigrid smiled.
Lin Xiao nodded and studied card making technology at home.
The next day, messages kept flashing in the card research meeting.
"Has the list of those who advanced to the top 64 come out?" the red panda poured the crispy noodles into his mouth, chewed them, and asked as he typed.
Rich woman Xue Li calmly handed out a list:
"The list is here, and the duel schedule is also available. You can check it on the official website."
Xue Yin Dao shouted: "Damn it! Why didn't I see Brother Wu Feng? It turns out it was a bye!"
Zhen Decai posted a 'cai dog' emoticon: "Brother Wu Feng, it doesn't matter if he has a bye or not."
Epee said: "(Seal lying on the ground)·jpg"
"Brother Wu Feng, who will you duel with tomorrow?" Jin Long Zhenjun asked.
The top 64 have been formed, followed closely by the top 32 promotion match, which will take the form of a 1V1 ace showdown.
The epee man said: "Wait a moment, I'll go to the official website to check."
The player he was dueling with was named "Iron Wall King Kong". Lin Xiao checked online and found out that he was a fifth-level master.
And he is also the holder of the check-in record on the [Training Room] stone tablet list, having trained for more than a thousand days in a row.
'This name sounds so familiar...' Lin Xiao muttered, 'It seems like he is a member of the group.'
"It's me." In the chat group, Du Jingang's tone was a little weird, "I'm dueling with the big swordsman guy."
A little panicked, no, very panicked!
Xue Yin Dao was happy: "@ DuJingang, this lottery is too miserable, you also have today hhh."
"?" Du Jingang raised a question mark: "Come to the arena to PK!"
"Come on!" Xue Yingdao made a "knee sliding shovel".
The group members joined in the fun, and Xue Li said: "Tell me, who do you think will win this time."
"According to past practice, the duel between these two people is 70% to 30%, with King Kong accounting for 70%." Zhen Decai said.
Liu Shisanniang: "I vote for King Kong!"
The red panda said: "Thirteenth Mother is here, how about Section 3?"
Liu Shisanniang: "I'm done (crying*3). We'll fight again next week."
Five minutes later, Xue Yin Dao went online again and sent out the "Vicissitudes of Life" emoticon: "Your "Iron Shirt" has actually evolved?"
Group members were shocked:???
Du Jingang said proudly: "This is persistence day after day!"
His ace white card "Iron Shirt" has finally evolved into the blue quality "Golden Shield Iron Shirt" in recent days, which can stack a large shield.
This is exactly in line with his style of play, which is to shrink and rely on his own continuously superimposed shields to last until the opponent's energy is exhausted.
In other words, this is a genre in "Hearthstone", anti-war, also known as "beating war"
Stack armor, pass!
Du Jingang is not afraid of exposing his fighting style to the heavy swordsman.
Because his style of play is the same as "wearing red underwear in the year of your birth year", which is well known to everyone.
Offline, Lin Xiao pondered slightly.
Is Du Jingang's trump card related to defense?
I don't know how thick his shield is.
In short, don’t underestimate the enemy, I will also open a shield...

"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to the Star Cup Top 32 Promotion Tournament!"
In the sub-venue of the arena, the battle between the epee man and Du Jingang is about to begin.
The stands were filled with avatars, and the commentator shouted passionately:
"The map starts to randomly jump and the field card displayed is, "Magma Volcano"!!"
A three-dimensional image is projected on the venue of each venue, forming a volcano. The perspective goes deep into the crater, where there are criss-crossing lava trails, which are very narrow.
The magma is bubbling. If you accidentally fall, you will suffer extremely horrific damage. Even a fifth-level master cannot hold it for ten seconds.
The commentator said: "'Magma Volcano' is a very difficult field card. The high temperature here will continue to reduce the strength of both sides, and the rational use of magma is the key to victory."
"Now, please invite the contestants from both sides to appear!"
This was the first appearance of the epee swordsman after winning the audition, and the response was earth-shattering.
The official live broadcast room is divided into God's perspective and player perspective, and the audience can choose freely through the light curtain.
The moment the competition started, more than 200,000 spectators rushed into the epee player's perspective.
The barrages are overwhelming, and the number of viewers is still soaring at an alarming rate!
"Coming!"
“I’m a fan of the auditions, and I’m looking forward to this performance.”
"Pay attention to the field card mechanism, boss, don't be so reckless as in the auditions."
"You still need someone to teach you how to play cards? Luansha!"
From God's perspective.
The players on both sides are at the entrances on both sides of the volcano, separated by a narrow channel, with hot red magma on both sides of the channel.
As the saying goes, when we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!
However, these two players had no intention of entering the volcano. They just stood at the entrance and released their combat skills.
A bald man with a strong back and a muscular body, shirtless and with a bronze sheen on his muscles, was as shiny as his bald head.
"Golden Bell Iron Cloth Shirt!" Du Jingang roared, and a golden bell-like light shield fell from his head, covering him.
Before the light shield dissipated, he manifested the "Admiralty Iron Cloth Shirt" again and added another layer of shield to himself!
The audience said one after another: "Stack, I am stacking my armor like crazy!"
"I keep getting beaten. As long as my opponent beats me until I lose all my strength, I win!"
The other side.
Lin Xiao's style of play was equally steady.
The combat skill of the Meteor Sword is "Exquisite but not Skillful", which can create a layer of shield for itself and change the elemental attributes according to the surrounding environment.
Although there is a certain cooling time, my shield...it can also be stacked!
A barrage floated by: "A man with a heavy sword also fights the turtle shell style?"
"Iron Wall King Kong: I use Hardening! Epee Man: I also use Hardening!"
At this time, the system displays a yellow card warning each, prompting both sides to compete passively and participate in the duel as soon as possible.
Du Jingang is suffering and cannot express his pain.
It’s not that I play passively, this is my way of playing!
But that's it, he put on six layers of shields and walked into the volcano path.
The other side.
Buzz, buzz!
Lin Xiao looked around at the two barriers that appeared beside him and sighed softly.
Is there only time to implement two layers of barriers?
If it’s a little less, it’s easy to get injured, but just use it!
The heavy swordsman held a big sword in his hand and stepped into the crater with a steady pace.
As soon as they entered the volcano, a heat wave surged out, burning the barriers on both sides.
Du Jingang frowned.
No wonder this field card is so difficult, the high temperature can even melt my barrier.
People with heavy swords should feel more uncomfortable...
Thinking this, Du Jingang looked up and was slightly startled.
I saw two layers of red shields on the outside of the heavy sword man's armor. The shield seemed to be of fire attribute. The surrounding elements were very close to it, and the burning effect was minimal!
Du Jingang was in a complicated mood.
During the auditions, weren't you a reckless man?
Why do you still play turtle shell style...you are more skilled than me in using it!
The two looked at each other from a distance, and saw the heavy swordsman raising his sword high and slashing out a purple-red light cannon.
boom!!
Du Jingang stood calmly in the light cannon, his expression gradually lost control, and his face changed wildly.
Five layers, four layers, three layers... My shield is completely shattered?!
Boom!!
With the roar that shook the volcano, Du Jingang flew out and fell on the path of the volcano, just inches away from the hot lava.
Among the group members watching the battle, Xue Yin Dao said in surprise:
"Didn't King Kong have a six-layer armor shield? Why is it so fragile?"
"It's not that the shield is fragile." The ghost bride, as a sixth-level grandmaster, has a vicious look, "It was his sword that shattered King Kong's six-layer shield."
Red Panda: "Ah this! Σ(っ°Д°;)っ"
Zhen Decai: "666 (cai dog expression pack)"
From the player's perspective, Du Jingang climbed up in embarrassment, condensed his ace in his fingers, and threw it into the sky.
"Possessed Iron Wall King Kong!"
Lin Xiao looked up and saw that Du Jingang's body continued to expand, reaching a height of 3 meters. The whole body was covered with golden bell shields, like a glaring King Kong.
Afterwards, all the shields around Du Jingang's body were shattered, and source power poured into his body, and he suddenly stepped on the ground, causing a strong shock wave.
"Combat Technique·Golden Bell Shock: Break the shield, form a shock, and spread to all sides."
Trying to push the heavy sword man into the magma, he reversed the situation in one fell swoop!
Swish.
The turbulent shock crashed through the "Da Qiao Bu Gong" shield, like a dragonfly making ripples on the water.
The epee man remained motionless, looking up at Du Jingang, feeling a little confused.
Did he just... use a combat skill?
Du Jingang was stunned for a moment, and his expression became strange.
I've used my ultimate move, please give me some reaction, brother!
Otherwise, I would be very embarrassed!
The commentator said: "The shield that the epee man had at the start of the match took effect! He was not thrown into the lava and escaped disaster!"
The audience asked happily: "Is this also part of your plan?"
"You still have to use tactics at the risk of receiving a yellow card. You are worthy of being the champion of the audition!"
Du Jingang gritted his teeth, moved his huge body, punched hard, and roared into the wind.
clang!
The epee man raised his sword to block, and a huge force bounced back to Du Jingang, making him numb all over and staggering back.
Continuing with the blocking action, Lin Xiao swung the round, edgeless sword, as if flapping a door panel, and hit Du Jingang with a 'dong', knocking him into the lava!
Wow!
Magma splashes and gulu bubbles.
The giant like a glaring King Kong failed to climb out and broke into particles of light and scattered.
The black-armored man stood there and inserted the sword into the ground with his palm against the hilt.
The domineering style and strong aura attracted bursts of applause from the audience.
"King Kong is so miserable. I am matched with Brother Dao and will be promoted steadily." Wen Tailai said.
The red panda nodded: "I agree."
Ghost Bride: "Second."
Xue Yin Dao: "???"
"The winner of this game has been born."
The commentator said: "Let us congratulate 'Epee No Edge'"
