The Card Cultivation System
CCS-69

When Xika opened her eyes, she found it hard to believe.

Right now, Huo Bing and Heiliao were fighting.

Heiliao formed several black balls around him then aimed them at Huo Bing.

Huo Bing dodged easily. He attacked with his feathers and a burst of fire. Heiliao instantly dodged and appeared somewhere else that was quite far from where he was before.

But Huo Bing immediately flew with a beak towards him. But Heiliao still stood quietly. As Huo Bing's half-life drew closer, he moved back.

This time he appeared on Huo Bing's back and directly bit him.

"Huo Bing? The heiliao? What's going on?"

But Huo Bing and Heiliao did not answer him. It seemed like they did not hear his words due to the explosion that resulted from the attack of the two of them.

Huo Bing slightly groaned when bitten. Then his back burned and hit Heiliao who immediately jumped back and rolled on the floor to extinguish the flames on his body. At that moment he was a little bit angry.

Huo Bing did not give Heiliao much time. He flew to Heiliao. This time with its burning beak.

Heiliao did not dodge. He opened his mouth and formed a black sphere that grew bigger and bigger.

Huo Bing wanted to fly away, but the ball sucked it. He flapped his wings faster, but the ball also sucked harder.

While Heiliao had already switched places avoiding his artificial black sphere long ago.

Huo Bing could not escape and he was eventually sucked by the ball. A few moments later, the ball exploded.

Heiliao smiled happily seeing his attack succeed. But from behind the smoke of the explosion, two brightly lit colors appeared.

Huo Bing appeared with his body lit up. The right side lit up with a burning fire while the left lit up with cold ice.

He was gathering qi around his body. Heiliao was not silent either.  He also enveloped himself with a dense aura of space and prepared to make a decisive attack.

Xika picked up her knife lying on the floor next to her and immediately ran over.

He must stop them both. They were his family, he could not let them attack each other.

Xika threw the knife hoping to prevent the two attacks from colliding.

But the knife only floated for a few meters and then fell.

"................"

"................"

"................"

For a moment, none of the three spoke. Huo Bing was the first to break the silence.

"HAHAHAHAHA! What kind of throw is Xika? Do you mean to joke? I admit you succeeded. AHAHAHAHAHAHA!! My stomach hurts."

Heiliao also held back her laughter. But Xika knew he was doing it with great difficulty.

"Ftttt-"

Xika looked at the two in confusion.

"What's going on? Why are you fighting?"

"Hm? Oh, we're just rehearsing."

"Exercise?"

Heiliao nodded.

"Well, being trapped in this place makes my body stiff"

"You don't have a body."

"Be quiet!

- so I was about to stretch my body and the wolf suggested a sparring exercise that I immediately agreed to."

Xika nodded in understanding.

Then replace Heiliao who asked.

"What's with your previous throw?"

"Ah, that.....the knife was heavier than I thought, so it was only thrown a few meters."

"Of course it's stupid! You have six bones enough to make a sword or a spear, but you use them to make a knife. One knife!" huo Bing said emphasizing the last three words.

"Aahaha......."

Xika laughed little realizing her stupidity. Then he tried to shift the topic.

"Ah, can I join in too?"

Huo Bing and Heiliao looked at each other then nodded.

"Good!"

Then Xika changed the Space Shifter which was previously a bracelet into a stick. Then he pointed it at Heiliao.

But unfinished he was aiming at, Heiliao had shot out the same black radiance as the space tiger once did.

This time Xika expanded the Space Shifter to withstand Heiliao's attack. Huo Bing had already strengthened it with the space-elemented Spirit Beast body parts, so he was confident of being able to withstand Heiliao's attack.

But he had forgotten that Heiliao was the descendant of the master of space. It was definitely a stronger attack than any creature that used the space element.

And Heiliao's attack penetrated the Space Shifter with great ease. His attack managed to hit Xika's stomach in a landslide.

"Ohuk....."

Xika spewed blood from her mouth.

Heiliao stopped and approached. He did not ask, but his gaze was quite worried about Xika.

Meanwhile Huo Bing was laughing very loudly and satisfied.

"Fttt......Ahahahahaha. You're really stupid. Didn't you see your post when you fell? Pfttt...."

"Do I have to lose my energy?"

Xika shook her head answering Heiliao's question. Then he replied with a question as well.

"Why can't my weapon resist your attack?"

".................."

Heiliao was confused as to what to answer. While Huo Bing laughed increasingly louder.

"AHAHAHAHAHA...........You're really stupid. Of course because he was the descendant of the space ruler. AHAHAHAHHA......You're making my stomach really hurt."

Finished saying that Huo Bing again laughed even louder than before.

But Xika still had a confused look on her face.

"I knew. But.....wasn't Huo Bing already strengthening the Space Shifter with space-elemented creatures before? It should be able to withstand half your strength or a quarter at least......."

Huo Bing immediately stopped laughing and again put on a serious face.

"Right as well......how could my creation fail? There must be a reason behind all this. But I have added space elements. Why are you still failing?"

Then Huo Bing thought with a serious face.

"Hmph! My farts are more space-filled than the creatures you used before."

"What?"

"So the reason my weapon can't withstand your attack is because the space element it has is lacking?" tanya Xika confirmed.

Heiliao nodded.

Xika silent. He thought about how to remove the space element.

"That's it. If you can't be arrested, avoid it."

"After all, can't you do this?"

Xika looked at the Space Shifter that Huo Bing was deforming.

"That's true but......."

"If that barren wolf shoots its black light again, you'll just dodge like this."

Huo Bing demonstrated as if an attack had come then he dodged to the side. After that the Space Shifter extended and meandered in attack.

Heiliao was interested in the Space Shifter after seeing it, so he jumped up and took it from Huo Bing.

He wanted to try to do the things Huo Bing had done before, such as lengthen it and make it swerve. But the white stick without any motive did not change at all.

He tried swinging it a few times with his mouth, but nothing happened. Then he looked at the weapon in confusion.

Huo Bing laughed again.

"Hahahahaha. Her stupid expression was really the same as yours, Xika. Pfttt......."

Unknowingly, Heiliao displayed a foolish expression while being perplexed. And unfortunately, Huo Bing saw that.

Xika did not care much about Huo Bing's words.

"But why can't he use Space Shifter?"

"It's obvious, isn't it? It's because he's not the owner of the gun."

"So if someone else takes it from him he can't use it?"

"Of course."

"Then why are you using it?"

"Of course it's because I made it" Huo Bing said arrogantly.

"Sad. Cheating."

"Hey! I have to keep an eye on the weapons I know!"

"So Heiliao won't be able to use Space Shifter?"

"true." Huo BIng nodded proudly.

The annoyed Heiliao saw Huo Bing's proud expression bite down on the Space Shifter until his fangs were planted.

"HEY!"

"BE CAREFUL! That's my weapon!"

But Heiliao did not respond to the two and still bit the Space Shifter with an annoyed look.

It passed the qi from its body to the Space Shifter through its fangs.

Slowly, the surface of the stick that was white turned black. Starting from the end, then to the middle, continuing to the other end, and finally the whole stick turns black.

"NO!"

"MY CREATION! Forgive my dear father.." Huo Bing said with a pained expression made on the Space Shifter.

Instantly, Heiliao and Xika looked at Huo Bing with a strange look.

"What's? That's my best weapon. You destroyed it."

Heiliao snorted in response to Huo Bing's remark. Then he closed his eyes and concentrated.

After that the black-colored Space Shifter extended out and began to attack Huo Bing.

"Hey! Don't use my weapon to attack me."

Heiliao still attacked Huo Bing a few times. Then he threw the Space Shifter at Xika.

Xika caught it carefully. In Xika's hands, the Space Shifter turned back white.

He stared at it for a while, then thrust the stick into a stone pillar. He was going to test his guess.

Xika poured the qi into the Space Shifter and the object went back to black. After which, Xika's attack pierced through the stone pillar and hit the wall behind her.

He pulled back the Space Shifter. Conjecture's right.

Previously, Heiliiao had not damaged or destroyed the Space Shifter. But he added space elements to the weapon. And the elements he added managed to make it using Space Shifter as well. The color change in the stick was related to the use of elements. If Xika does not use elements or only basic elements, the stick will remain white. But once he used the space element, the Space Shifter would change color to black.

Then Heiliao looked at Xika's blade and picked it up.

Xika looked at him with a questionable look.

Heiliao did the same with Space Shifter to the blade. The blade, which was white because it was only made of bone, now began to have a black color.

After that Heiliao returned the knife to Xika. But there's something different.

Unlike the Space Shifter which had previously returned white when changing hands, this time the knife still had a black color.

"Your previous wand needed qi to use the space element and change color. This knife is not. It already has the space element, so you don't have to use qi."

After Heiliao added the space element to her knife, Xika felt that it was lighter than before. Then he looked at Heiliao with a questioning look in his eyes.

He was indeed grateful to Heiliao for strengthening his weapon, but he was confused by Heiliao acting so suddenly for no reason.

And then Xika realized. Heiliao didn't do it for no reason. After he returned the knife to Xika, Heiliao looked at Huo Bing arrogantly.

"Curtain!"

Huo Bing was also unwilling to lose. So he flew up and grabbed Xika's blade using his beak.

Then his two wings of different colors shone and Huo Bing poured his qi into the blade.

Slowly, the blade that already had those two colors, lit up and had two additional colors. Now the knife is black, white, blue and red.

After that Huo Bing returned it to Xika.

"A-what a knife this is too-"

"yes."

Huo Bing already knew Xika's question. He asked if the knife had fire and ice elements as well, so he directly cut it off. Then he stared at Heiliao fiercely.

Xika looked at her homemade knife which now has four colors with an unusual pattern.

"Ehhh....can't you make the color a little heavier?"

"The best abstract." said Huo Bing who was immediately given a nod by Heiliao.

After that they looked back at each other with hostile views.

And so, the rivalry between Huo Bing and Heiliao again began.

*********************************

note

Until now there are still those who ask which part of the system.

I'll explain. The system in the title leads to a cultivation system with essentially using cards. If the system you are looking for is a cheat system like in the game, please look for another novel. Not all terms in the system refer to the gaming system. The education system also uses the word system, but there is no game at all, right?

I accept criticism and advice. Please pay attention to the use of language. When there are terms that are not understood or there are plotholes in the story, it can be conveyed through comments. I'll try to fix it.

I originally wrote this novel for the race. I want to try my luck, who knows who can win and get a prize. But after getting to this stage, I didn't think much about the race anymore. I enjoyed every single time I made this novel. I no longer write for the race. I write for myself as a hobby.

This is my first story. Sorry if there are still many mistakes and shortcomings because I write alone, not helped by anyone. I started writing after reading quite a lot of novels and one of my role models once said 'if you don't find any story that you like, write it'  maybe there is a little difference in words because I don't remember too much, but the point is like that. So I was encouraged to write my own story.

Once the race is over, the novel will remain updated. But I don't know how the schedule will be if there will be a change or not.

Lastly, I would like to thank all the readers who have followed my first work here. Thank you for all the encouraging comments and likes. Currently, Card Cultivation System has been read by more than 6,000 people with likes totaling 700. I am so grateful for all of you support. I didn't think I could write so far. Of the only ten people who read it, it has now grown to thousands. Again, I thank you. Please support her in the future.

Thank ye.
