Chapter 160: Divine Skill, Collection of Cards Skill

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wei Ya ignored what Su Bai had said and looked at the two with a complicated expression. Her eyes were filled with a mixture of envy, jealousy, and some inexplicable emotions.

“Do you know why I am so strong? Do you know what skill I just released using the card? Do you know the nature of this card?”

After a while, she suddenly smiled charmingly at the two.

Without waiting for them to speak, she answered her own question. “This is one of the nine great Pet Tamer divine skills in the Spirit Alliance, the Collection of Cards. I can turn all pets into cards and use their skills and power at my will without their consent. How is it? Isn’t it powerful?”

Upon hearing this, Su Bai showed a hint of surprise on his face. It turned out to be a summoner divine skill. No wonder this woman was called the Queen of Cards. This skill could indeed be called divine; it was so powerful, being able to turn a pet into a card and use its skills at will. This skill absolutely occupied a natural advantage in battles.

Because the pet’s will was insignificant, it meant she could even contract a Flesh Devourer—a monster without consciousness but with terrifying strength. If she could control such a monster, it would be too terrifying.

It was indeed a divine skill that could only be nurtured by the origin of a world.

“What is a summoner divine skill?” Chen Ruoxue was confused.

“When a world is destroyed, its world origin can conceive a divine skill. In other words, every divine skill is only born from the destruction of a world. Moreover, the divine skills are unique and can only be inherited, not copied.” He explained to her.

Upon hearing this explanation, Chen Ruoxue’s mouth opened slightly and she sucked in a cold breath. This news had subverted her view of the world.

“Boy, you seem quite knowledgeable.” Wei Ya chuckled slightly and walked over to the girl’s side. “As long as you worship me as your teacher and leave him to me, I promise to designate you as my heiress to this summoner divine skill. At that time, you can soar to the sky and do whatever you want.”

“Hey, Senior Wei Ya, are you done? Is it that interesting to keep testing our feelings for each other? You will eventually find out that there is true love in this world, but you have only never experienced it before.”

Su Bai was speechless. He understood this woman’s intentions and was disgusted by her actions. It made him very uncomfortable that the relationship between him and Chen Ruoxue was being tested by others.

With a bang, he was directly pasted to the wall. Dust scattered and settled, but he only felt like his body was about to be ripped apart.

“You know nothing; keep barking and I will end you,” said Wei Ya indifferently with narrowed eyes. She raised her hand to collect the rapidly spinning card in the air.

“Are you okay?” Chen Ruoxue rushed over to look at her boyfriend, who was currently stuck in the wall.

“C-Cough... cough, cough. I can’t die.” Su Bai reached out to grab hold of Chen Ruoxue, who pulled him out of the wall. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and grimaced.

With the backfeeding of his four pets, coupled with their life-sharing, his physique was much better than that of people at the same level.

“You can actually move.” Wei Ya glanced at him in surprise.

“Old auntie, why are you flying in a rage out of humiliation...” he murmured softly. Having learned a lot of things about this woman from his master, he actually sympathized with her and hoped that she could walk out of her past. Thus, he wanted to stimulate her at the moment.

Wei Ya was not evil and would not kill him.

“Old auntie?”

Wei Ya’s head whipped up the moment she heard the boy’s words. She glared at him with murderous intent as if she could kill him at any time.

“You must be tired of living, kid! Apologize right now, or else I will kill her.”

Wei Ya pinned Chen Ruoxue’s pet with a card and directly pulled the girl into her arms, pinching her slender snow-white neck with one hand.

“If you have the ability, come and fight me...”

“Apologize!” Wei Ya squeezed Chen Ruoxue’s neck.

“I’m sorry; I was wrong. My mouth is full of shit.” Su Bai immediately bowed and apologized to her.

Wei Ya smiled. “Weren’t you just acting tough and domineering as if nothing could scare you? Come and show that act to me again.”

“Sorry, it was all my fault, I was wrong. Wei Ya, you’re a fairy, not an old auntie. I am full of b*llsh*t. Let me hit myself.” He slapped his own mouth.

He may not care about his life and death, but Chen Ruoxue’s life mattered to him. If the woman really flew into rage and involved his girlfriend, his heart would break.

“So you know your mistake now? Spoken words are like splashed water, though. They can’t be so easily taken back. You have to compensate me.” Wei Ya touched the girl’s smooth and white neck and smiled.

“What do you want?” he asked in a deep voice.

“Rumor has it that in the depths of the Thorns Forest’s ruins is a Rainbow Flower. At this time of the year, it will release lofty sunrays, but I have never found it. You can look for it and bring it to me as a reward, and then I will release your lovely girlfriend.”

Wei Ya glanced up thoughtfully and smiled.

Su Bai’s face darkened. “Even you said that it’s just a rumor; how can I possibly find it? You are purposely out to get me.”

“I don’t care. If you can’t find it, don’t even think about returning to your lovely girlfriend. Maybe you can find her when you defeat me.”

The elegantly smiling Wei Ya snapped a finger, and out flew a card which brought her and Chen Ruoxue away.

“Once you find the Rainbow Flower, remember to find me at the Green Bamboo Residence in the center of the market. If it’s past New Year’s Day, I may not be there anymore. Don’t vent at will, too, or else the emperor Bloodthirsty Vine will wake up and you’ll never see your girlfriend again.”

“D*mn it!”

Su Bai was hopping mad. That crazy woman had released the card as a trick. She understood his actions but gave him a problem so he could prove the existence of true love.

“I wouldn’t have gotten myself involved if I had known that this would happen.”

He felt like he was always asking for trouble.

In the end, when the cub was released, it stared at the messy house in a daze.

“Howl~” Ah Bai, what happened? I can feel how irritated you are.

The cub went over to pat his back.

He closed his eyes and took two deep breaths. “I’m fine; let’s go to the Thorns Forest.”

When he surpassed that woman one day, he would get even with her.

“Howl! [Cute expression]” Don’t be sad. You still have me, your lovely girl. I will always love you and will never leave you.

Purple Jade licked his face.

“Alright, let’s go to the Thorns Forest first.” Su Bai gently caressed the cub’s head and said. This matter was not serious enough for him to be sad. Wei Ya was not so despicable that she would do anything to Chen Ruoxue.

He soon left the Bloodthirsty Vine Bazaar with the cub. After finding some information, he understood what was going on inside the Thorns Forest. Every four years in the winter, ten feet of multicolored sunlight would appear at that place and cast colorful rays of light across the entire forest.

Some people said that it was a natural phenomenon, but the legend described the place as a relic with various treasures inside. It was also rumored that in the depths of the relic grew the Rainbow Flower which caused the glorious glow.

Although he did not know the truth and what was going on, he still decided to check it out. If the Rainbow Forest was real, he would pluck it. Otherwise, he would return to Wei Ya. At that time, she would probably release Chen Ruoxue if her interest had faded.

After all, he was still too weak and could only be manipulated by others. It just so happened that going to the Thorns Forest could improve his strength as well as promote the cub to a commander.

Although it was impossible for the cub to defeat Wei Ya as a commander, its strength could still increase little by little. As the saying went, a journey of a thousand miles began with a single step, and without accumulation of small currents, rivers and oceans could not form. Hence, they would slowly work hard and eventually stand at the pinnacle.

After walking out of the Bloodthirsty Vine Bazaar, Su Bai rode the cub in the direction of the Thorns Forest. The cold wind blew sharply against him like a knife as his pet rushed forth, leaving a string of beautiful footprints on the snowy ground.

After walking seven or eight kilometers, he paused and looked at the void behind him. “How long are you going to keep hiding? I’ve already selected the cemetery, so why don’t you come out and die now?”

His icy eyes were even more ruthless in the wind and snow. The north wind rustled and messed up his short hair.

“Hmph! Don’t toot your own horn. Since you’ve already found the cemetery, we will help you dig a grave.”

Five people appeared from the void along with the sound of an arrogant voice. Five people surrounded him tightly with a peak high-level warlord, the Bloodthirsty Hunting Wolf.

“Little boy, I will give you a chance. Be good and offer all your valuables, then we can let you choose how you want to die.” The man leading the group sneered. They had killed dozens of boys like this one.

However, Su Bai simply ignored him and did not even bother getting off the back of the cub.

He just glanced at them indifferently and summoned his gold contract book. When the pages of the book turned, a blood-colored dragon emerged. It spread a Sea of Blood with a diameter of more than three hundred meters and shrouded all of them in it.

“A commander dragon pet...”

Before they finished speaking, a scarlet color swept past them before turning into blood mist. When they died, their expressions were still full of shock.

No, why was he still riding a cute cat when he had a dragon like that?

As the Sea of Blood disappeared, the Blood Dragon shrank and wrapped itself around his waist.

“Let’s go.”

Su Bai threw the battle gains into his backpack and patted the cub’s head lightly.

Having comprehended wood control, Purple Jade’s detection ability had greatly increased. After leaving the Bloodthirsty Vine Bazaar, it noticed people following them, but Su Bai only exposed those people after finding them a good cemetery spot.

“Howl!”

In the end, the cemetery was for them.

The cub raised its head high and sped up.

After 5 p.m., Su Bai finally arrived at the Thorns Forest. From a distance, he could see ten feet of glow coming from within it. Strangely, snow had obviously fallen into the Thorns Forest, but no residual snow could be seen, and it still seemed like summer.

“Jade, do you feel any difference in this forest?” He caressed his pet.

The cub blinked and explored its surroundings with Forest’s Rhythm. After a long time, it gently shook its head and said telepathically, There seems to be nothing special about it. Besides the rich aura of wood attribute, I can’t sense anything else.

“I see. Let’s go first and check out the situation.” Su Bai nodded, not surprised by this. If Purple Jade could sense it so casually, this place would not exist for so long.

As its name suggested, the Thorns Forest did not have trees and was made up of various thorns. These thorns were covered with barbs, some of which highly poisonous, making it a relatively dangerous place.

However, it posed no danger to a wood-attribute pet. In particular, now that the cub had comprehended the wood control, it could easily control the thorns and open a path.

Su Bai went straight to the location where the ten feet of sunlight was emitting. After arriving, he found many other explorers looking for clues nearby.

The sunlight was obviously emitted from here as seen in the distance, but after standing there, the sunlight seemed to be emitting from another spot. Different people saw different positions, making all the explorers feel puzzled and unable to figure it out.

However, apart from the rays of light in the forest, no other special place could be seen. Some people tried digging into the ground with their pets, while some tried to destroy the forest directly by setting fire. However, everything they did was to no avail.

Over time, more people regarded this place as a scenic spot. Those who came did not believe in hearsay and thought themselves to be luckier.

Su Bai stood there for a while, carefully inspecting the situation of each nearby tree, but did not find anything unusual.

The only thing was that the entire Thorns Forest seemed to be composed of countless thorns, but in fact, it was a whole composition.

In other words, the entire Thorns Forest was actually just a huge thorn.

However, this did not seem to be useful information, for there were many forests like this in nature, such as the banyan trees.

“Let’s go and look in that direction.”

Su Bai patted the cub and pointed to where the new sunlight was emitting in the distance. Since the rays of light always changed position, he would follow them and see what he could find.

Although some people had already been doing this for a long time, they had yet to gain anything.
