188: We'll transform you into an all-around card warrior!

Blazing Flame held the Lava Troll card in both hands, and he could even clearly sense the soul fluctuations of the Lava Troll within the card.

"My King, is this... is this the power of a Card Master?"

He had witnessed Card Masters fighting with cards before, and their endless methods and mysterious abilities left a deep impression on him.

Although in his eyes at the time, it was nothing special.

But in the end, he was still envious.

Now, he too would possess this power.

Lu Yuan nodded slightly.

"This is just one of them."

"With your deep understanding of fire power, it shouldn't be difficult to control this Lava Troll card."

He paused, then added.

"This Lava Troll is just a temporary measure. When we find a source card that is more compatible with your bloodline and power system in the future, I will replace it for you."

"Orange is too trashy in my eyes. I'll find you seven gold cards later!"

"I'll make you the strongest Tier 7 warrior in the entire alliance!"

Lu Yuan spoke eloquently, already fantasizing about that day.

Seven gold bodyguards!

Who else but me?!

"First, integrate it into your origin and let it become your aid."

"The path of a Card Master, for you, has just begun."

"Your subordinate... obeys!"

Blazing Flame took a deep breath. As Lu Yuan instructed, he slowly immersed his mind into the Lava Troll card.

In an instant, the card glowed brightly!

The orange-yellow light, like erupting magma, instantly illuminated the entire temple.

"Roar—!!!"

A roar came from the card!

Immediately after, a massive, ten-meter-tall phantom suddenly materialized in front of Blazing Flame!

A Lava Troll!

Much stronger than the one Bedrock summoned!

This powerful elemental creature from the underground lava world, as soon as it appeared, displayed its terrifying might.

The temperature inside the temple suddenly rose by tens of degrees because of it.

Blazing Flame felt a burning resonance from the depths of his soul.

His Saiyan bloodline resonated perfectly with the fire power of this Lava Troll.

It was as if this troll was originally a part of his body, an extension of his power.

He could clearly perceive every thought, every breath of the Lava Troll.

That feeling of blood connection and shared consciousness was incredibly wondrous.

"This... this is simply..."

Blazing Flame's eyes widened as he murmured to himself.

He could feel that with just a thought, this terrifying Lava Troll would tear apart all enemies in front of him!

This feeling of wielding powerful strength was so intoxicating.

"Amazing! My King!"

Blazing Flame cried out in his heart. If Lu Yuan hadn't been there, he probably would have been dancing with joy.

He looked at Lu Yuan, his eyes filled with fervent adoration.

"My King, this Lava Troll... it... it perfectly matches me!"

Lu Yuan was not surprised by this.

Blazing Flame himself was a master of fire, and this Lava Troll was a pure fire elemental creature. Their attributes aligned, so it was natural for them to quickly resonate.

"Try to mobilize its power," Lu Yuan gestured.

Blazing Flame obeyed, and with a thought.

The Lava Troll moved abruptly, raising its blazing stone hammer high, and a destructive power gathered in the hammerhead.

The entire temple trembled slightly because of this.

Lu Yuan spoke in time: "Stop."

Blazing Flame quickly composed himself, and the Lava Troll slowly calmed down, transforming back into a stream of light and merging into the card.

The card's glow retracted, returning to calm, but the energy fluctuations it contained seemed a bit more agile than before.

Blazing Flame's forehead was slightly sweating. For a moment, he almost thought he was going to tear down this temple.

"How does it feel?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Powerful! Incredibly powerful!"

Blazing Flame's voice was excited.

"Your subordinate feels that as long as there is enough Source Power, the combat power that this Lava Troll can unleash is definitely not inferior to a strong person of the same rank!"

"Moreover, it seems... it can also constantly grow through my power!"

Lu Yuan nodded.

"beast taming cards are inherently closely related to Card Masters and grow together."

"If you nurture it diligently in the future, it will naturally become stronger and stronger."

"Especially when it is used as the origin, its ability will not only align with your realm but also advance to a higher level!"

"It's also a great help to the Card Master himself!"

After familiarizing himself with the power of the Lava Troll, Blazing Flame dared not delay any longer.

He sat down cross-legged again, closed his eyes slightly, and began to fully operate the "Saiyan Version Simple Breathing Technique" that Lu Yuan had taught him.

He wanted to quickly restore his consumed Source Power and adjust his state to its peak as soon as possible!

His King was right beside him, and he absolutely could not hold him back!

As the breathing technique operated, the already extremely pure fire-attribute Source Power in the temple converged frantically from all directions towards Blazing Flame's body!

Faster and faster! More and more intense!

Initially, it was just wisps of light red airflow.

Soon, the airflow became thicker and denser!

Finally, above Blazing Flame's head, a huge, visible crimson energy vortex formed!

The vortex rotated rapidly, emitting a 'whooshing' sound, and a massive amount of fire-attribute energy, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, was continuously absorbed into Blazing Flame's body.

Blazing Flame's depleted Source Power was rapidly replenishing at an incredible speed!

The bottleneck of his cultivation seemed to loosen a bit because of this!

Lu Yuan watched quietly from the side, marveling in his heart.

This Blazing Flame was indeed a Tier 7 powerhouse; his affinity for fire-attribute energy was incredibly high.

Coupled with his modified breathing technique, cultivating in such a place with abundant Source Power was like riding a rocket.

However, such a massive energy fluctuation, even with the temple's array layers of weakening and isolation, still could not be completely concealed... In the outer area of the Lost Water Realm, at a temporarily set up Yao Family camp.

Tents stretched out, and banners fluttered.

Dozens of elite Yao Family Card Masters, dressed in uniform combat suits, patrolled the surroundings with vigilant expressions.

In the largest tent in the center of the camp.

A gaunt Yao Family Elder was listlessly staring at a compass in front of him.

On the compass, mysterious runes were engraved, and a slender gold needle in the center was slowly rotating aimlessly.

This source seeking and tracing plate was a treasure that the Yao Family had purchased at a great cost. It had extremely keen perception abilities for various energy fluctuations, especially high-level energy fluctuations.

Suddenly!

The originally leisurely rotating gold needle, as if stimulated by something violent, trembled abruptly!

Immediately after, it began to spin frantically at high speed as if it had gone mad!

The runes engraved on the surface of the compass also lit up one by one, emitting dazzling green light!

"Buzz buzz buzz—!!!"

"Huh?!"

The Elder's face changed, and he suddenly stood up, staring intently at the compass.

The other Yao Family Elders in the tent were also startled by this sudden anomaly and gathered around.

"What's going on?!"

"Why is the source seeking and tracing plate reacting so violently?!"

The Elder responsible for monitoring the compass suddenly began to breathe rapidly. His outstretched finger pointed in the direction where the compass needle finally locked.

"Detected! A powerful and extremely pure fire-attribute energy fluctuation has been detected!"

"The source... the source is in the core area of the volcano!"

Before his voice fell.

"Swish!"

A figure, as fast as lightning, had already appeared before the compass.

It was Yao Tianxiao!

He was originally discussing the next plan to search for Lu Yuan with several core family members, and hearing the commotion, he rushed over immediately.

Such pure, such vast fire-attribute energy fluctuations... Could it be... could it really be him?!

"Tian Xiao!" the Elder said excitedly, "Although this energy fluctuation was fleeting, its intensity and purity definitely reached Tier 7 or above! Moreover, it seems to contain a trace... a faint sense of our Yao Family's tracking mark!"

Tracking mark!

Yao Tianxiao suddenly looked up. According to Tianbi, he had left a family mark on Lu Yuan back then, partly for protection and partly for emergency contact and positioning.

However, the rules of the Lost Water Realm were special, and the mark's perception was suppressed to the lowest level.

Now, the source seeking and tracing plate had actually captured a trace of the mark's resonance!

What did this mean?!

"Lu Yuan!"

Yao Tianxiao's voice trembled with excitement.

"He's really not dead! He's really alive!"

"Quick! Immediately gather all high-ranking family members! Head to the core area of the volcano at the fastest speed!"

"No! Everyone who can move, come with me!"

"Let's go see! We must bring him back safely!"

The entire Yao Family camp instantly burst into activity!
