National Games: Hang up from the zombie apocalypse

Chapter 3616 Good Foundation

"No, no, after winning the competition and successfully advancing, there will be a gap in my schedule. I want to leave for a few days and go out to the dimensional world to take care of some things."

Tiger Lord frowned upon hearing this and asked, "So urgent? You should know the hostility the divine race harbors towards you. Is it really necessary to go now?"

Fang Heng said, "Yes, I must go now. I need to improve my strength as soon as possible."

"Oh?"

Tiger Lord looked Fang Heng up and down.

Can it go even further in a short period of time?

"Alright, be careful when you leave. I'll announce that you're staying in the tower for special training for the next round of the competition. Be careful. After today's battle, the God Clan will be even more eager to find you. Once you leave World Emperor Island, you'll have to rely on yourself. I can't protect you."

Fang Heng only wanted to ask for leave, but he didn't expect that Hu Zun could help him cover up and hide his whereabouts.

That would be even better, as it would save a lot of trouble.

"Thank you, Lord Tiger."

Fang Heng clasped his hands in a fist salute to Tiger Lord and quickly left.

"This kid..."

Tiger Lord looked at Fang Heng's departing figure, pursed his lips, and suddenly realized that he might have misjudged him.

Although the technique is weak, the foundation is good!

Moreover, over this period of time, his health has improved more and more.

Who knows, this trip might bring back a terrifying increase in strength?

Just then, Tiger Lord looked at Gideon, who was rushing over from below the stands, and suddenly felt a surge of anger rising in his heart for no reason.

That Gideon kid!

We've spent so much time and effort training him to participate in over a dozen martial arts tournaments, yet he's made so little progress and keeps causing us trouble.

That's strange. Why didn't I think this kid was so bad before?

Compare prices, and you'll end up throwing it away!

Gideon, convinced that he had found Fang Heng, was the one who framed him and killed Ravi, hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Tiger Lord, I have something to report to you."

Tiger Lord glanced at Gideon sideways and immediately said, "Speak, what is it?"

"I suspect that Number Seventy-Seven was the one who killed Ravi!"

Gideon could no longer contain his anger and became increasingly agitated as he spoke, completely oblivious to the Tiger Lord's darkening expression. He continued, "Number Seventy-Seven used a similar special ability to condense dimensional crystals before. He has grudges against the God Clan and me. He has the motive, the reason, and the time..."

Tiger Lord's eyes twitched incessantly as he listened to Gideon's words.

What an idiot!

Does he realize the stupid things he's saying?

For Tiger Lord, if Fang Heng had killed Ravi instead, it would have only made the current situation more complicated.

Tiger Lord interrupted coldly, "Are you finished?"

"what?"

Gideon paused, startled.

Tiger Lord stared at Gideon and said coldly, "Do you have any evidence for what you're saying?"

"This, I..."

"Humph."

Tiger Lord snorted coldly and turned his back. "If you have the skill, put more effort into the Martial Arts Tournament. If you don't have evidence, don't mention this matter again."

Gideon watched Tiger Lord leave, feeling somewhat bewildered.

The situation was completely different from what he had expected!

What's going on? Why isn't Tiger Lord speaking up for him?

……

Since Zane had to stay and participate in the semi-finals, Fang Heng said goodbye to Zane and left immediately, departing alone from the Wuji Grand Tournament semi-finals venue.

There are still two days until the agreed time with the Star Clan youth.

Fang Heng thought for a moment. Since it was too late to go find Shalin now, he decided to go to the training grounds in the next couple of days and see if he could max out his Summoning and Law Construction skills.

Soon, Fang Heng returned to the cultivation grounds and, once again, was led by the white-robed elder to the guidance area hall.

Fang Heng walked along the circular hall, carefully searching through the signs in front of the alchemical magic circles for a while, and actually found a mentor who could instruct in both the art of constructing and the art of summoning.

Great! Found it!

Then let's do both at the same time!

Fang Heng pondered for a moment, then stepped into the teleportation magic circle, closed his eyes, and was teleported into the cultivation space.

Inside the cultivation space, an old man in white robes sat at an ancient-style desk.

The white-robed elder sensed the teleportation fluctuations, slowly opened his eyes, looked at Fang Heng before him, and gestured: "Martial artist, welcome. What kind of academic training do you wish to undertake?"

Fang Heng stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Senior, I want to learn Summoning and Law Construction as soon as possible. I'm in a bit of a hurry, so I'll start with whichever one is faster to cultivate."

Upon hearing this, the old man secretly shook his head.

The martial artists who come to participate in the Martial Arts Grand Tournament are all outstanding individuals standing at the pinnacle of the universe. At the very least, they are martial artists who have cultivated a certain academic discipline to the highest level of perfection. How could they be as eager for quick success as him?

"Both Summoning Studies and Law Construction Studies are very difficult to cultivate and require time to accumulate. It is probably not easy to break through in a short period of time. If the foundation is not solid and you force a breakthrough, your subsequent realm will inevitably be shaken. At that time, not only will you hardly make any progress, but you will also take countless detours."

The old man slowly said, "If you are truly eager to learn, how about we begin with an academic subject you already have a foundation in?"

"Okay, I'll follow your instructions, senior."

Fang Heng glanced at the game prompts.

My current Summoning skill level has reached the Grandmaster level, but since Summoning doesn't have any domain abilities or can't absorb energy, I haven't been able to find a way to break through and have been stuck at this step.

As for the study of structural principles, it's even worse; it's still in a state of not yet being mastered.

"Senior, my summoning magic has stagnated for a long time after reaching the Grandmaster level. I have never been able to see a way forward. Please give me your guidance."

"No problem."

As the old man spoke, he reached out and gently stroked the desk.

Beautifully crafted cards immediately appeared on the table.

Huh? Cards?

Fang Heng looked down to examine it.

It's somewhat like the trading cards from my previous life, with various colored borders and patterns, and a mythical beast pattern engraved in the center.

"A transcendent level of summoning requires contracting legendary creatures. These beasts are things we've spent a long time collecting and sealing in cards. You can then summon them from the cards and try to contract them through summoning spells to master high-level summoning techniques."

Fang Heng was startled upon hearing this.

It's actually possible to integrate summoned beasts that have completed their contracts into cards?

How did you do it?

Simply using sealing techniques won't do it!

Fang Heng lowered his head to examine the card carefully, his Divine Eye, hidden under his hood, spinning rapidly.

The various structures of the cards are quickly analyzed under the effect of the Divine Eye.

interesting!

Cards are the product of the fusion of multiple academic disciplines.

From what he can observe so far, the cards combine techniques from sealing arts and alchemy.

"Sealing, summoning, alchemy, and law construction."

The white-robed elder seemed to see through Fang Heng's thoughts and explained calmly, "By combining the four academic abilities, we can integrate summonable creatures into the cards. This serves two purposes: firstly, it makes them easier to carry, and secondly, it facilitates advanced training in summoning techniques." (End of Chapter)
