Playing cards, I am your ancestor!-Chapter 294 Solve the issue of Tan Heming_1

"Keep it, just in case."

Wen Jiang insisted, and Hua Zhuo could only nod in agreement.

Replicating an SSR Card still required the personal touch of a Card Maker. Each had their own unique ideas and inspirations, making it even harder to replicate someone else’s SSR Card.

The moment Wen Jiang obtained the Cang Xing Die, the System showed that the task was complete, and she was awarded another chance to draw a prize.

However, considering she had previously summoned a being like Xing Wu, Wen Jiang was not as eager this time.

She planned to cleanse herself ceremonially before taking another draw.

First, she took a closer look at Cang Xing Die.

The Cang Xing Die was a Defense Card and quite peculiar at that.

When it flew and fluttered its wings, it left behind a powdery substance shimmering like starlight, forming a defensive web. This web could block other cards’ strong control Skills or confusion and dizziness abilities.

It was a very practical combat card for countering abnormal statuses.

In a match, it could indeed cripple an opponent’s Control Card.

After observing the card, Wen Jiang shook her head, "The card’s ability is too limited; it’s not suitable for the current SSR Card battles."

With just this Cang Xing Die, it would be difficult to fix a problem if it arose in battle, and since I’m not its creator, there’s no need to risk using it in a match, she thought.

Hua Zhuo couldn’t help but laugh, "I could have guessed."

In their eyes, each SSR Card had its own strengths, but since Wen Jiang’s arrival, the old SSR Cards had begun to show varying degrees of limitation.

This was most obvious with A-Rank Cards. Wen Jiang’s multi-system cards had already triggered a revolution, but the S Rank battlefield far exceeded the A-Level, and the difficulty of creation was doubly hard. It had not yet been affected as much.

But to Wen Jiang, who could create SSR Cards herself, the Cang Xing Die’s current practicality was indeed weak.

Hua Zhuo was actually looking forward to the new SSR Card that Wen Jiang could make. "What kind of SSR Card is that one in your hand?"

"A dual-purpose healing and attack card."

Hua Zhuo sighed, "Another multi-system one. The Cang Xing Die really is too simplistic."

Aside from its immunity to abnormal statuses, it wasn’t comparable to other defensive SSR Cards.

There’s no rush, Wen Jiang considered. This card is beautiful and interesting. If I had the chance, could I try to upgrade its status? Forced modification.

But that was much more difficult than creating a new card from scratch, and Wen Jiang didn’t have the time right now.

After discussing with Hua Zhuo, Hua Zhuo went to handle the public registration, while Wen Jiang prepared for the meeting with Tan Heming.

On the other hand, Tan Heming had just gotten off the plane when he received a call from Gong Shu.

"You’ve returned to Imperial City. Are you planning to visit the association?"

Gong Shu’s voice was gentle, and Tan Heming always regarded him as a mentor, replying respectfully, "No, Lady Hua Zhuo from Mount Flower called, saying that Wen Jiang wanted to meet with me."

"Wen Jiang? She’s back?" Gong Shu sounded somewhat surprised. "What does she want to see you for?"

This was a rather private matter. Tan Heming hesitated for a moment but then said, "It’s about my spiritual power."

Had it not been for this reason, he wouldn’t have come back so quickly.

"Your spiritual power?" Now Gong Shu was truly astonished. What did Tan Heming’s spiritual power have to do with Wen Jiang? This girl disappeared for several months, and now she suddenly returned...

Gong Shu considered for a few seconds, then asked, "I had been looking for a chance to meet her. When you see her, could you ask if she’d be willing to meet me too? As it happens, your situation is something we need to discuss."

Tan Heming laughed, "Sure, I’m going to meet with her right away. I’ll ask when we meet."

After he got off the plane, people sent by Hua Zhuo picked him up, taking him straight to the Mount Flower Association’s premises. This was considered a relatively safe place.

Tan Heming had only seen Wen Jiang on video before. While he cared about her, this was their first face-to-face meeting, so he couldn’t help but be a bit curious.

When he was led into the meeting room of the Mount Flower Association, Tan Heming immediately spotted Wen Jiang. The aloof girl with a ponytail was sitting casually in a chair, doodling something with a pen.

Upon seeing the visitor, Wen Jiang lifted her head and smiled naturally, "Captain Tan."

Tan Heming forced a smile. "Miss Wen, you’re too kind. I’m no longer a captain now."

"As long as you haven’t retired, you’ll always be a captain." Wen Jiang raised an eyebrow, stood up, and walked over to proactively shake his hand. "I hope you don’t find this meeting presumptuous."

"Of course, I won’t find it presumptuous." This girl was indeed just as he had imagined her to be—brisk and decisive, just like how she was composed and unflappable on the competition stage.

Wen Jiang, a straightforward person, invited Tan Heming to sit down and asked directly, "When you had your accident, what did that person do to you?"

This was something that should not be discussed with outsiders, but considering Wen Jiang’s special status, after a moment of deliberation, Tan Heming still said, "It seemed like he did something to my body. At that moment, I suddenly lost all perception of my spiritual power, but I couldn’t detect how he did it."

It was just that the man seemed highly suspicious when he passed by. He was identified later, but he had already fled and hasn’t been caught to this day.

No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw Wen Jiang lift her head, the palm of her hand glowing faintly.

To Tan Heming’s amazement, Wen Jiang quickly curved her lips. "Just as I thought. Pretty much what I had envisioned."

It was still suppression by resentment.

This time, the resentment artifact was easier to deal with than the one affecting Hua Zhuo. It seemed to be a recent issue, merely suppressed inside Tan Heming’s body, preventing him from mobilizing his spiritual power.

Tan Heming only felt a sharp pain in his body, and before he could react, a card enveloped in dark energy was drawn out from within him.

[Detected item not belonging to this world—BEEP—]

[Detected modified artifact - Card of Resentment]

[Card of Resentment: When used on any character, it can suppress the other party’s spiritual power.]

[Recycling this artifact can offset 100 Points. Do you wish to recycle?]

Wen Jiang agreed to recycle it.

An artifact capable of suppressing an S-Rank Spirit Card Master was only worth 100 Points. It was uncertain whether to say Yu Jian’s capabilities were inadequate or if humanity was just too cheap in the face of the System. However, the term ’modified artifact’ confirmed that Yu Jian was indeed conducting some kind of research with the Heaven’s Mandate System, combining System artifacts with his research. They were conducting experiments on the spiritual power of this world. Some cleverness, but not much more than that.

The problem that had troubled Tan Heming for so long was now resolved by Wen Jiang in just a few seconds. When the feeling of spiritual power once again filled his body, Tan Heming still couldn’t quite believe it.

Before Tan Heming could even speak, Wen Jiang frowned slightly. "You have the Black Tortoise Card in your body. Theoretically, this shouldn’t affect you."

Her Shennong Shi Card could already destroy resentment. How could the righteous energy of the Black Tortoise fail to suppress resentment?

She asked Tan Heming, but he knew even less than she did.

Suppressing the excitement and numerous questions in his heart, he still turned to Wen Jiang first to express his gratitude.

"Miss Wen, thank you!"
