The Card Cultivation System
CCS-34

Xika twisted her body to avoid the spear that attacked her.

Not yet he had time to balance his body, he was showered with various slashes and punctures.

Xika dodged with great difficulty. He uses his cards to withstand every attack that comes.

Then Xika flew about 30 cards around her and turned them around. The girl also stayed away.

Xika took a short breath, then she refocused herself on the fight. He turned the Space Shifter into a stick and 9 cards into a stick as well. But that stick from the card he let drift.

Xika kicked the ground and advanced towards the girl.

He swung his wand and the girl lowered her head. From below, the girl thrust her sword towards Xika's chin.

Xika brushed it off with her wand and then stabbed back.

The girl turned around and gave the slash held by Xika's card stick.  He was surprised for a moment to see Xika's weapon can float.

And Xika did not waste the opportunity. He kicked the girl's hand until the sword came out of his. Then Xika gives a shot using Space Shifter.

The girl kicks the Space Shifter upwards but the Space Shifter now extends and comes back to target the girl.

The girl was quite shocked to see the shape-shifting Space Shifter, so she had no time to dodge. He made a barrier using his qi.

The Space Shifter pierced the barrier. The recovery was destroyed but the Space Shifter also bounced.

Xika harnessed that pent-up energy to attack. He turned the Space Shifter and extended it.

The girl twisted her body and then threw something towards Xika.

Xika took out a card from her robe to fend off the girl's attack.

It turns out that the girl threw was a needle.

As Xika was observing the needle the girl threw, hundreds of other needles were already eyeing her.

Xika used all the remaining cards in her robe to withstand the attack.  He did not wait for the needles to hit his cards, he immediately circled his card which had become a big enough shield and headed for the girl.

Seeing Xika approaching, the girl pulled out a knife.

Xika called out a card he had used for the shield. He pinched the two cards between the index and middle fingers of his right hand.

Now Xika and the girl are doing a close combat.

Knives meet cards. The clash between the two objects created some sparks, which surprised the girl.

Xika and the girl continued to exchange attacks.

And the results are balanced.

Xika had some cuts on her body, as well as the girl.

It was rather sad to see the wound on his white and smooth skin. But the girl didn't care.

He continued to attack Xika.

After a few strikes, the two of them retreated to take a breath.

"What do you think of him?" huo Bing asked who was still forming her physical form despite not being able to be seen by the girl. Huo Bing could determine who could see him as long as his target was weaker than himself.

"He's strong. More or less the same as me."

"Don't conclude too quickly. He still hasn't used all his abilities."

"Yes, so do I. You're forgot? I have not used any elements and poisons at all."

The girl raised her hand then all the needles that attacked Xika earlier. Then he formed the needles into a fairly large spear.

Seeing this, Xika did not remain silent. He also called out all his cards and formed a shield sufficient to withstand the girl's attack.

The girl waved her hand and a huge spear made from the collection of needles flew towards Xika.

Just like before, Xika did not wait for the needles to come and hit her cards. When he felt himself covered, he turned around his card and was about to hit the girl again.

But the girl had already guessed Xika's actions. So when Xika jumped out of her card, the girl immediately threw her knife.

Xika kicks the knife up and then waits for it to fall back down. When the tempo fits, he kicks the knife back to its owner.

But the girl had already picked up the sword she had dropped earlier because of Xika's kick. He used his sword to fend off the blade that Xika threw back.

Seeing that the girl was ready to wait for him with the sword in hand, Xika also turned the Space Shifter into a stick.

Xika and the girl both jumped forward.

The sword and the staff meet. Now a middle-distance fight.

Xika had a slight advantage as her staff was longer than the girl's sword.

So the girl could only withstand the attack that Xika gave without being able to strike back because her sword was not long enough while Xika was able to attack the girl from a favorable distance.

But Xika only used the Space Shifter that was in the shape of a stick, not a spear. So the girl did not get any significant injuries.

The two of them retreated back to take another breath.

They stared at each other and once again Xika was stunned to see the face before her.

But suddenly, the two of them were surrounded by the same tiger that attacked Xika earlier and Black Scorchpion.

About the number of Black Scorchpion surrounding them were around 200 while the space tiger attacking Xika previously numbered around 150.

Xika saw the girl using her needles to withstand the black rays of the space tiger.

"The girl is in danger.... What are you gonna do?"

"Protect him of course."

Xika throws the Space Shifter in front of the girl but behind the girl's needle joins and turns it into a larger shield than the girl's needle combined.

That action made the girl look at Xika for a moment, then turned her gaze away after not finding the hostile look in Xika's eyes but only worry.

"Then what about you?"

"I'll use my father's card.

The strengthened Space Shifter and my father's card. We can try it at the same time."

"Then what if the Space Shifter isn't strong enough to withstand that black beam?"

"I was forced to send you there to offer my apology to the girl."

"Then what if your father's card can't withstand the attack?"

"Good question."

Xika did not have time to answer Huo Bing's question or think because the black ray was just a little more about her card.

THE BANG!! PSHHH!!

The black beam hit the Xika card then sounded a sound as if the attack was absorbed.

Xika is very relieved that her father's card can protect her from space attacks. He called his card and saw that everything was fine. Nothing is broken in the least. Xika did not know if it was just her feelings or the card had really improved her condition even if it was just a little.

Then Xika turned her head and looked at the girl beside her.

The girl looks fine. His flat face did not change at all, although now the Black Scorchpion was getting closer.

Xika called back the Space Shifter and turned it into a bracelet. Then the girl broke her needle which was previously in the shape of a shield.

He used those needles to kill the Black Scorchpion that approached him.

Seeing that the girl seemed to be quite capable of handling Black Scorchpion herself, Xika flew up and approached the space tiger that was behind Black Scorchpion.

Xika used half of her cards to cover her body and the other half she flew around.

Then all four element symbols appeared in his right eye then the surrounding cards were coated in elements. The cards he pointed towards the space tigers.

Some dodged, some fired another black beam to fend it off, some also moved space and directly attacked her who was flying.

Xika uses the Space Shifter which has now become a stick to fend off the moving space tiger.

But they're pretty sneaky. Although they are terrestrial animals and cannot fly, they can create some sort of black hole to move themselves.

So even if their attacks failed, they would not fall. They just jumped into another black hole and reappeared behind Xika.

Xika did not know how many black tigers he was facing right now because they jumped in and out of the black hole in his skeleton, so he did not know if they were the same or different tigers.

The Tigers were getting faster at him, making it even harder for Xika to fend off or dodge.

Eventually Xika stopped using the wind element and fell down.

The Tigers instantly lost their target.

Exactly ten meters above the ground Xika stopped and returned to using the wind element.

He turned around for a moment to check on the girl's condition and found that she was just as bad as him.

Xika flew towards the girl.

"Huo Bing, is there any way to avoid chasing that space tiger?"

"For the moment there is none. But it's fine. I will spread my aura. That alone was enough to mess with their senses. When I do that, run away."

"Wait for me to bring the girl."

Huo Bing sighed hearing Xika's words. It had been a long time since he had seen such a sight. Even though he was in danger, he still had time to think of others. Such a scene was rare even almost non-existent in the world in which he lived.

Either Xika is stupid or good. It was indeed his actions that worried the girl were quite good, but keep in mind that the girl tried to attack Xika before, and now Xika was about to help her. If Huo Bing was in Xika's position, he would not hesitate to leave the girl.

When Xika was near the girl, she reached out her hand to catch the girl.

But the girl pointed her sword at Xika's hand. Then back to fighting the Black Scorchpion. Either the girl doesn't want to be touched or doesn't believe her.

To be sure, his actions were troublesome for Xika who was about to help the girl.

Xika sighed then threw eight cards at the girl.

The girl was still trying to dodge but under the continuous attack given by Black Scorchpion and Xika who did not give up sticking her card on the girl, Xika finally stuck on her body.

The Xika card was attached to the girl's feet and hands, two each.

Then Xika took the girl flying by controlling the card attached to the girl.

"Now Huo Bing."

Huo Bing appeared for a moment. But that alone was enough to frighten the Black Scorchpion and space tigers and mess with their senses.

The moment they regained their senses, Xika and the girl were already far ahead of them.
