Perhaps in the eyes of the star card master, the star card is just an object that can be rebuilt even if it is killed in battle.
But in the eyes of the star card, when a star card is defeated, it truly disappears from this world.
It's a very strange feeling.
Star cards have emotions, consciousness, they are not mechanical puppets, toys controlled by others.
So when they see their kind being defeated, they have a feeling that the other party has really disappeared forever.
Tang Seng quieted down, looking blankly at the emptiness, murmuring, "Wukong."
"Wukong, where did you go?"
However, no matter how he called, the Great Sage, for a short time, could not return.
In the distant emptiness, in the direction of his gaze, there was only the star dust left behind by the Great Sage's defeat, and the Great Sage had long since vanished...
His gaze stagnated, murmuring like a helpless child, "I can't find him."
"I can't find him again..."
This scene made Xiao Xuan slightly moved, especially the defeat and death of the Great Sage just now, which made him feel painful.
He had never treated star cards as tools. In his view, they were all his children. Each star card, regardless of its strength, was an inseparable existence.
When Xiao Xuan first arrived in the world of star cards, he had a dream. He wanted to recreate the ancient heroes and mythological figures who had already turned into dust through the production of star cards.
He wanted those who had passed away, the gods, to be reborn in a different way and continue their brilliance.
Let the people of the star card world marvel at their legendary experiences.
However, when he saw the desperate defeat of the Great Sage and the lost look of Tang Seng, Xiao Xuan began to blame himself, hating his own weakness.
If his strength was enough, then the Great Sage at that time would have crushed the sky, looked down on the world like a fluorescent light, and not be in such despair and unwillingness.
At this moment, an odd scene appeared in the audience area.
Although the matches in the other six major districts were still ongoing, almost all the people in the spectator stands were now staring at the screen of the seventh district.
The same was true in the live broadcast room, all eyes in the northern part of the star card were focused on the seventh broadcast room.
Especially the star card masters of the Su Ming faction were even more distressed. Earlier, Xiao Xuan had defeated Han Feng, defeated Zhou Sheng, and single-handedly turned the seemingly predictable match into a situation where the outcome was uncertain.
At that moment, Xiao Xuan's position in their hearts had risen limitlessly, second only to the hall master.
They even thought that if Xiao Xuan defeated Zhou Sheng and went to help Qin Wan, they might have a chance when they joined forces, even against Fusang.
Maybe there was a slight possibility of causing an upset...?
However, reality quickly slapped them hard in the face.
Who could have expected that in the blink of an eye, with just a wave of Fusang's hand, Xiao Xuan's three star cards were killed, leaving only Tang Seng?
This space was filled with silence.
"Sorry..."
Qin Wan looked at Xiao Xuan in a daze, feeling some self-blame, confusion, and an indescribable sense of helplessness and loss.
She could even feel how desperate Xia Xuan, who had almost defeated Zhou Sheng, felt at that moment when he saw his three star cards killed in an instant.
Yan Wangqing's phoenix eyes showed a hint of ripple, she was not so concerned about the outcome of the hall trial, she just felt that her disciple must be very upset at this sudden change from heaven to hell, right?
Feng Yan, the master of the Flame Palace, looked deeply at Xiao Xuan and said, "All five of them are golden cards. It seems that Su Ming has been particularly attentive to him. But is this kind of resource allocation really in line with the rules?"
Master Frost of the Ice Palace said lightly, "Good steel should naturally be used on the edge of the blade."
Seeing the debate between the two, the Master of the Purple Sky Palace smiled and said nothing more.
Liu Lianyi's beautiful eyes showed a hint of regret and she said, "He had just participated in the new military assessment a month ago, and now he can defeat Zhou Sheng, the fifth on the Celestial List. Although he cannot have the last laugh, I think, even in defeat, he still has honor."
She looked at Xiao Xuan with interest and said, "With his unique imagination and rapid cultivation, if under my command, in less than half a year, he would be the next Fusang."
The Master of the Purple Sky, Yunxiao, smiled and said, "In your rose garden, he would have no desire for cultivation."
"How is that possible?" Liu Lianyi snorted and said, "When he discovers that many younger martial sisters have bigger insights than him, he will naturally focus on cultivation..."
Yan Wangqing: "..."
Seeing Fusang make a move, Yongyi, who had been dark-faced all along, finally regained some face at this moment.
He looked at Su Ming with a smirk and said, "Master Su Ming, it looks like your disciple can only become the chief next year."
Su Ming retorted, "It looks like your Zhou Sheng has regressed during this month of seclusion."
Yongyi snorted and said, "So what? The winner is the one who laughs last!"
Gong Wu smiled and looked at Xiao Xuan with a satisfied look. He had already done very well.
They never expected Xiao Xuan to defy fate and seize the top spot.
This year will be able to climb the ranks to kill the enemy, defeat the fifth place on the Tianbang, let alone the first in the examination hall next year, even the champion of the seven halls will probably be contended for!
After killing the Great Sage, Blood Asura walked to the Wordless Stele, with the source qi entwined in his palm, and he struck down at the Wordless Stele.
Bang!
The stele burst, and the giant ape was liberated.
On the field, Fusang looked at the crestfallen star card masters of the other two veins with a faint smile,
then he looked at Xiao Xuan with great interest and said, "Did you steal Commander Qin's boss?"
Xiao Xuan said calmly, "The Star Beast inside the space gate, it can be killed by those who are capable. I killed the Flying White Tiger on my own. How does that become stealing from him?"
"Is it possible that this Flying White Tiger was raised by Commander Qin?"
Zhou Ze stopped the battle, walked over, and said coldly, "That is a matter for Commander Qin to handle. He didn't say anything about it, so you don't need to worry about it."
Fusang smiled faintly, gazing lightly at Xiao Xuan, and said, "Commander Qin is open-minded and naturally wouldn't mind such a small matter. Nonetheless, your behavior is too presumptuous. Since we are in the same hall, I should rein you in."
As his voice fell, Fusang's divine sense moved slightly, Blood Asura flicked his finger, and a source qi condensed into a ball, shooting towards Xiao Xuan.
The ball, formed from extremely rich source qi, was fiercely aggressive, clearly holding nothing back.
At this moment, Zhou Ze's pupils suddenly contracted. On the field, star cards had no eyes, and even if a star card master was injured, no one would hold anyone accountable.
After all, what is called a competition is also a practice for warfare. In a life-and-death war with the enemy, the enemy wouldn't bother fighting the star card, they would directly attack the star card master!
Blood Asura was Fusang's strongest star card. If hit by the ball, Xiao Xuan would probably be seriously injured!
Boom!
Where the ball reached, it even caused bursts of sonic booms. In the end, it rushed towards Xiao Xuan amidst shocked gazes.
However, at that moment, Tang Seng took a step forward and stood in front of Xiao Xuan.
Bang!
Under such a fierce impact, Tang Seng's figure was also struck as if by lightning, and he flew backwards, crashing heavily onto the ground.
Puff!
He spat out a mouthful of blood, propped himself up with his left hand on the ground, and struggled to stand up.
Even though he was the only one left, as a star card, he had to fulfill his duty and use his own body to block all the harm for Xiao Xuan.
Fusang narrowed his eyes and looked at Tang Seng with a playful gaze, saying, "This star card of yours seems quite resilient."
"Let me see how many attacks your star card can withstand!"
With both hands, Blood Asura gathered source qi frantically, forming a blood-red energy ball rapidly.
"Xiao Xuan, go down, there's no need to sacrifice another star card!" Qin Wanjiao shouted. The situation was already set, what was the point of resistance?
Xiao Xuan fell silent, looking at the Tang Seng who was spitting blood, and he really wanted to give up.
Although Tang Seng still had a hidden move, Xiao Xuan knew that even if he summoned the Great Sun Tathagata, he wouldn't be able to wipe out Fusang's star card.
After all, he was only a three-star card master.
Fusang was not only a four-star, but not an ordinary four-star, he was the top on the Tianbang, at least a mid-four-star.
If he, a three-star card master, could wipe out Fusang, a mid-four-star, with the ultimate move of a card, that would be a bug.
Xiao Xuan pursed his lips lightly, a hint of unwillingness showing. Did he really have to wait until next year?
He was eager to make achievements in the examination hall this year, and more importantly, he wanted to help his master increase the control of the Tianyuan Palace, thereby stabilizing the entire Starcloud Legion.
Now the Starcloud Legion was already facing internal and external troubles, with wolves and tigers circling around his master, who knew what the situation would be next year?
Looking at the rapidly condensing blood ball in Blood Asura's hand, Qin Wanjiao, who was usually dignified, shouted hoarsely, "Xiao Xuan, come down, relinquish your rights!"
Qin Wanjiao's eyes slightly reddened. She was afraid that the powerful blood ball would change direction at a critical moment and target Xiao Xuan, causing him irreparable harm!
"Alright, I'm still too young." Xiao Xuan withdrew his distracted thoughts, with a self-mocking tone. He was about to take back Tang Seng. However, at that moment, a sudden change occurred!
Boom!
The source qi between heaven and earth suddenly burst forth and crazily poured into Xiao Xuan's body.
Xiao Xuan was stunned, and a hint of ecstasy suddenly appeared on his delicate face. This was a sign of a breakthrough!
For the previous month, no matter how he cultivated, he couldn't touch the shadow of a four-star.
Now, after defeating Zhou Sheng and climbing a rank, the signs of a breakthrough finally became clear.
It was a perfect breakthrough.
As the source qi surged into his body, it continuously rushed towards the fourth star. In just a few breaths, the fourth star was completely lit up!
This meant that he had successfully advanced and become a four-star card master!
At the same time, Tang Seng also advanced to four stars, his height suddenly increasing as if he had been forcibly raised!
"It's a bit too late to break through now," Fusang sneered. If Xiao Xuan's star cards were still around earlier, it would have been a headache for everyone if all the star cards broke through at the same time.
Now, he only had one Tang Seng left. What was the difference between breaking through or not breaking through?!
At the same time, the blood pill in the hands of Blood Asura condensed into shape, like a bloody sun, emitting extremely fierce power.
"It's over."
Boom!
At that moment, the huge blood pill burst out like a dazzling sun, carrying terrifying power, pouring towards Tang Seng like an avalanche!
Astonished gazes were cast, and then, the sun-like blood pill fell onto Tang Seng as expected.
Bang!
In the next moment, the blood pill suddenly exploded, turning into a raging flame that engulfed Tang Seng completely...
And also engulfed Xiao Xuan.
The scene was extremely shocking.
The flames were incredibly hot, melting the ground instantaneously, leaving the entire arena in chaos.
The ground cracked, smoke rose, turning into a curtain that concealed the figures of the two within.
Su Ming's pupils suddenly contracted, extremely furious. Why wouldn't this kid step down? Now that he's been affected by this blood pill, he's probably seriously injured, right?!
The entire audience were stunned.
All the spectators held their breath, their eyes fixed on the seventh screen. Would Xiao Xuan, who had been continuously creating miracles, finally suffer a crushing defeat and be eliminated?
Boom!
However, just at that moment of the blood pill's explosion, an invisible shockwave suddenly swept out!
The sudden attack made all the star cards and star card masters on the field uncontrollably retreat!
Fuso took more than ten steps back before he barely steadied himself, staring fixedly at the dust and smoke. Could it be that Tang Seng was not dead yet?!
The smoke slowly dissipated.
In the next moment, everyone was shocked to see Tang Seng seated in meditation on a lotus throne, surrounded by shimmering golden light.
Majestic appearance, awe-inspiring.
Numerous star card masters exclaimed, feeling that the current Tang Seng was somewhat different from before!
At this moment, the confusion had disappeared from his eyes, like a piece of bamboo in spring, warm and emitting a serene and pure radiance.
Behind him, Xiao Xuan was enveloped in a layer of gold, which helped him avoid all harm.
"What's going on?!"
Fuso's pupils suddenly contracted as he looked at the majestic Tang Seng, a difficult-to-explain unease surging in his heart.
Qin Wan and Zhou Ze looked at each other, equally clueless about what was happening.
"Playing tricks, watch me kill you!" Zhou Sheng's eyes turned cold, as Xiao Xuan had made him lose face before, and now he was determined to get it back completely!
"Roar!"
The giant ape roared as it charged towards Tang Seng.
The two-headed dragon flapped its wings and flew towards Tang Seng as well.
Boom!
However, when they got within ten feet of Tang Seng, an invisible force suddenly struck out, and the giant ape and the twin-headed flying dragon were both struck as if severely injured, and sent flying backwards!
"There's a problem!"
Fuso's expression became serious. Despite being alone, the mysterious Tang Seng gave him a very strong sense of unease...
So he made up his mind to use five star cards together to instantly take down Tang Seng!
Whoosh!
Blood Asura's wings flickered, and the other four star cards followed closely behind, rushing towards Tang Seng like rainbows piercing the sun!
Tang Seng raised his eyelids slightly, and looked calmly at the roaring Blood Asura, his lips moving faintly, and a Buddhist sound reverberated.
Just then, a star card master unconsciously looked up. The next moment, his pupils couldn't help but shrink in horror. He shivered uncontrollably due to excessive fright, unable to speak. His trembling hand touched the adjacent star card master gently.
"What's wrong?" The neighboring star card master frowned slightly and followed his gaze, but the next scene made his pupils shrink and his face filled with astonishment. He couldn't help but gasp in cold air!
"My goodness..."
