The Card Cultivation System
CCS-70

The fight continues.

Xika is also coming. But it seems he was not too noticed. He was already holding the Space Shifter in his right hand and his knife in his left, but no attack came.

The two creatures - the bird and the busy wolf - competed. No matter what, the two of them both wanted to defeat the other.

So Xika took the initiative first. As Huo Bing rained down on Heiliao with his partially smoldering and partially frozen feathers, Xika also deployed her card towards Heiliao.

Heiliao had wanted to move, but Xika's surprise attack stopped her. If he keeps jumping into the black hole in front of him, the Xika card attack will hit him.

Heiliao formed a black-colored barrier to resist the attacks of the two. The barrier was so dark, that Huo Bing and Xika could not see Heiliao behind it. Moreover, the barrage of attacks the two of them who met with the Heiliao barrier created a thick smoke.

When the smoke faded, Heiliao was no longer there.

He was already behind Xika with his claws.

Xika twisted her body then kicked Heiliao back, but Heiliao had already disappeared. It reappeared in Huo Bing's beak which left the bird shocked.

Heiliao pierced both of Huo Bing's eyes.

"AHHH!!! Fucking wolf's charred!"

While Heiliao has disappeared back. He appeared again in front of Xika's face with his jaw open.

But Xika was waiting for him. He disappeared until Heiliao's attack escaped.

For a moment, Heiliao forgot that Xika could also use the space element, so she was quite surprised when Xika disappeared from her sight.

Xika reappeared above Huo Bing's back. He was about to stick his knife into the bird's body.

But Huo Bing already knew what Xika would do.

"Why are you guys attacking in the same pattern?"

Huo Bing's body shone, to the right of the fire, to the left of the ice. Xika stood on her right side and jumped back.

But Huo Bing's flames had already reached his clothes and had managed to make him hollow. Moreover, the fire is not easily extinguished. As Xika was sidetracked with her burning clothes, Huo swung his right wing and some ice feathers flew towards Xika.

Xika rolled over to dodge.

But from above Heiliao came a black sphere around him.

Xika instantly spread her wings and blew Heiliao along with her black ball flying.

Heiliao spun a few times then landed safely. But behind him Huo Bing was already waiting with his burst of fire.

Xika and Heiliao were indeed able to move places, but Huo Bing's flying speed was also no less far away making it look like it was moving space.

Heiliao created a black protector behind his body, but Huo Bing's attack managed to get him thrown.

Huo Bing wanted to give Heiliao another attack, but the burning blade coming from above stopped him.

He held Xika's knife with his wings. But the knife pierced through his wings and hit his body.

Huo Bing was pushed back, while Xika recaptured her knife. He looked back and found a jaw as big as himself less than a meter away.

Heiliao had already enlarged his body.

Xika disappeared and Heiliao's jaw now hit Huo Bing who was holding her back with her wings.

Huo Bing and Heiliao clashed with each other.

But Xika didn't just let them. The element symbol in his eyes lit up then came out and gave four elemental attacks at once which led to the two of them.

DUARR!!!!

Xika's attack again made smoke and now he was on guard with the surroundings. The cards flew around him.

And it's true. Not far from him, there were three flaming bird figures while Heiliao was nowhere to be seen.

Two birds attacked him while the bird in the middle flew upwards.

It seemed like Huo Bing was flying towards Heiliao. But Xika had to focus with the two clones in front of her at the moment.

For the close combat, Xika managed to defend well. But once the two clones fired fire and ice, he was only able to hold on for a while before crashing backwards.

It's not that Xika isn't strong, but she's running out of energy. The previous element symbol consumed most of its energy. While a small portion he had spent before using the symbol.

We turn to Huo Bing and Heiliao.

Huo Bing flew towards Heiliao who was flying above. He can stay on the wall by sticking his claws on the wall. But his large body size made him instantly visible.

Heiliao who was also aware of Huo Bing approached, enveloping his body with a pitch-black aura. Huo Bing also advanced with her body that was glowing two colors.

The two met and there was a big explosion.

Smoke blocked Xika's sight that was sitting on the ground with the wall behind her cracked.

After a while, the figure of Heiliao had shrunk back. He was sitting on the ground with a breath.

Heiliao repeated his life. And also his cultivation. So his qi wasn't as much as their previous fight, and he wasn't as good as before.

It looks like Huo Bing won, Xika thought.

But after that he saw Huo Bing who was also sitting with his body quite transparent.

No one seems to win.

Xika smiled as she also did not lose far from the two of them. Then Huo Bing saw him.

"Hey, why are you smiling?"

"Because none of us won" Xika said with an ever-expanding smile on her face.

"No one wins, but no one loses."

Heiliao nodded in agreement to Huo Bing's words.

Both of them looked at Xika.

"I? Why me?"

"Well, you're the first one to get tired. Besides you lost to my clone."

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

Xika was unable to answer. That was indeed true, he lost to Huo Bing's clone.

Maybe this fight is a bit strange, because there is no winner. It all ends with a lack of energy. But that only happens because it's a match practice. In an actual fight, they couldn't possibly give an attack just like that without paying attention to energy consumption. They can fight as wild as it is a battle drill where their lives are not at stake, and nothing happens when they lose.

After that, the three slept on the floor together. And before long the three of them were completely asleep.

Xika did not know whether they woke up the next day or woke up in the middle of the night. But to be sure, he woke up with Huo Bing who was burning snake meat. Looks like it's still Coral meat.

After eating, Huo Bing immediately spoke.

"Well Xika, now-"

"my turn."

Who also directly dragged Heiliao.

Huo Bing looked at Heiliao sharply. But Heiliao had already moved into Xika's head and bit her. Her saliva dripped onto Xika's face.

"All right, all right, Heiliao. I'll study with you. Your saliva dripped onto my face I know."

After Xika said that, then Heiliao went down.

He often does this when he wants to ask for something. Also her saliva would definitely drip onto Xika's face and she wouldn't stop until Xika said yes.

Huo Bing looked at Heiliao with an unacceptable look. But Xika had already made her decision. So all he could do now was watch Heiliao teach Xika.

"You can already control the elements, right?"

Xika nodded.

"But refining a pill requires more powerful control than forging. That's why I'll train you first."

Xika nodded again while Huo Bing looked at the two with veins appearing on her head.

Actually Xika was enough to purify the pill, but Heiliao wanted to show off at Huo Bing, so she pretended to raise her difficulty.

"Now make a fire."

Xika opened her palm and fire came out from it.

"good. Now make flowers out of that fire."

Both Xika and Huo Bing were dumbfounded to hear Heiliao's words. But Xika kept doing her words.

He concentrated for a few minutes before finally changing the shape of the fire. But it's not yet a flower. Xika still needed a few more hours to make her fire flower-shaped.

Heiliao nodded looking at the sparks in Xika's hands.

"the sword. It's supposed to be easier."

Xika removed the sparks in her hand and formed a new flame. As Heiliao said, this time it was easier. It only took him 15 minutes to form a fire sword. But the sword he made was the size of the previous flower. Just as big as his palm.

"Try to enlarge the sword to its original size."

Xika tried but she failed. He had tried for several hours, but he could only form a sword that was half his original size.

Both Heiliao and Huo Bing were surprised to see that. Heiliao just wanted to play around with Xika. Since Xika was still at the Qi Gathering stage, he would not be able to take out the qi from her body. But Xika succeeded. It was indeed his fourth Qi Gathering, but it was still not easy to extract qi from the body while it was still the Qi Gathering stage.

Huo Bing also thought that Xika would not be able to enlarge the sword even a little bit. But it turns out Xika managed to enlarge it to half its original size.

Xika himself did not know that he managed to make these two creatures in front of him surprised. Of course the two of them wouldn't let him know, because he would be big-headed if he knew they were surprised by his talent.

Indeed no one knew, but before Xika had already taken out qi from her body. While in the forest, after just coming out of the Heiliao black hole, Xika who had finished cultivating first, was about to try moving the grass in front of her. But he only managed to shake it and Xingli saw it. The incident was still quite embarrassing for Xika, although if these two creatures would be bald if they knew that he considered removing qi from the body while still the Qi Gathering stage was a shame.

Heiliao stupefied for a moment, then spoke back.

"Yeah, half as well. Y-you're just going to purify a low pill so there's no need to be too high."

After that Heiliao coughed a few times.

"Alright, then make flowers and swords together. Both should be pretty solid."

Xika nodded.

Three hours later he managed to do it.

"good. Actually you only need the elements of fire and wind to purify the pills, but as a good teacher, you must train all the elements in the same way as before. You can make other shapes if you want."

After saying that, Heiliao walked away.

"Where are you going?"

"Talking about something important." Heiliao replied with a serious face.

Xika let it go because she thought Heiliao was thinking of a way out of this place with Huo Bing.

Heiliao invited Huo Bing to walk to a place quite far away from Xika, making sure the child could not hear their words.

Huo Bing also put on a serious face the moment she saw Heiliao's expression.

"What's wrong?"

"Whatever happens don't let the boy know he's a genius."

"Agreed."
