52: Training Hellhound

Returning to his familiar dorm room.

Closing the door, he shut out everything from the outside world.

Lu Yuan almost immediately collapsed onto the bed.

His Source Power was completely exhausted, and his spirit was in a state of extreme overdraft.

He had enjoyed the fight, and the source card had elevated him to a height that didn't belong to him.

But the consequences were obvious: he needed to rest for a few days to recover properly.

However, he couldn't rest just yet.

Forcing himself to sit up, he placed the heavy cloth bag on the bed.

Black Crow's legacy!

Taking a deep breath, Lu Yuan untied the bag's opening and dumped its contents out.

Clatter!

cards of various colors piled up into a small mountain.

The white common cards were the most numerous, dozens of them, mostly low-tier summoned beasts and some basic functional cards, not very valuable.

There were also quite a few green and blue excellent cards, about a dozen or so.

Lu Yuan's gaze quickly swept over them.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up!

Among a pile of blue cards, he saw a familiar card face!

Pitch black, burning withquietgreen flames, a ferocious and vicious-looking two-headed Hellhound!

【Hellhound】!

Moreover, five stars twinkled along the card's edge!

Blue Five-Star 【Hellhound】!

He had searched high and low for it, only to stumble upon it unexpectedly!

The beloved card he had painstakingly searched for in the Star Brilliance Secret Market, even willing to buy it online at a high price, he never expected to find it among Black Crow's legacy!

And it was even Five-Star quality!

He quickly opened his phone to return and refund the online purchase; fortunately, it hadn't shipped yet.

With a good start, Lu Yuan continued to tally his gains.

Besides the 【Hellhound】, there were also six beast taming cards among the blue cards.

Their quality ranged from three to four stars, with various types, including the flying-type 【Windblade Vulture】, the defense-type 【Ironclad Earth Dragon】, and the Support Major 【Moonlight Elf】, etc. They were all common blue cards on the market, with decent value.

What truly interested Lu Yuan were two other blue beast taming cards that emitted a unique aura.

Although the card faces were damaged, their condition was still acceptable.

One card displayed a rich, earthy yellow luster, with a giant composed of rocks depicted on its face, tall and mighty, its aura as solid as a mountain, and seven stars shining brightly along its edge!

【Mountain Guardian】, a Seven-Star Blue beast taming card! Earth attribute, leaning towards defense and strength.

One of Black Crow's source cards!

The other card was permeated with peculiar shadow fluctuations, its face pitch black, with only a vague, distorted humanoid silhouette faintly visible, as if it could merge into the shadows at any moment, and six stars along its edge.

【Shadow Sneaker】, a Six-Star Blue beast taming card! Shadow attribute, leaning towards stealth and assassination.

These two high-star blue beast taming cards alone were worth at least a million star coins.

Black Crow's ability to dominate Jiangcheng's underground world indeed showed his formidable background.

Besides these beast taming cards, there were also several blue skill cards and equipment cards, all of good quality.

Then, there were the purple rare cards.

Three in total!

Excluding the severely damaged 【Calamity Raven】 source card.

There were two others: one was a Four-Star Purple equipment card, 【Blackwater Diversion Armor】, which offered good water resistance and came with a water diversion skill that could condense three water element energy shields.

The other was a Purple resource card, 【Shadow Crystal Vein (Miniature)】, which could slowly produce shadow crystals.

Although he didn't know its specific use, it was undoubtedly quite valuable.

After tallying, this harvest was enormous!

If all these cards were sold, they would instantly make him rich!

However, Lu Yuan didn't plan to sell them all.

The 【Hellhound】 was definitely for his own use.

The 【Mountain Guardian】 and 【Shadow Sneaker】 had distinct characteristics and great potential, so they were also worth keeping.

As for the three purple cards, he would wait for the right price.

He neatly categorized and put away all the cards, only keeping the Five-Star 【Hellhound】 in his hand.

Feeling the scorching aura emanating from the card, a genuine smile finally appeared on Lu Yuan's tired face.

The crisis was temporarily averted, and his strength was about to increase again.

Next, he would digest this harvest, and then... in three days, fulfill his promise to the Yao Family.

The night passed without incident.

Early the next morning, Lu Yuan got up and washed. Thanks to Raging Waves Sea Soul's powerful recovery ability, the feeling of exhaustion disappeared, and his limbs only felt slightly sore, nothing serious.

With a thought, Lu Yuan took out the 【Hellhound】.

He extended his hand, his fingertip touching the card face.

Buzz!

A scorching, violent energy fluctuation transmitted from his fingertip.

After all, it wasn't a first-hand card; this power was wild and untamed.

To fully control it would likely require some effort.

Lu Yuan shook his head, put away the 【Hellhound】 card, and left the dorm.

Destination — Venus Tower, Honor Class exclusive training room!

...In the training room area, the triple gravity room.

A heavy pressure covered every part of his body.

As soon as sweat seeped from his pores, it was pressed down by gravity, instantly soaking his training uniform.

Bones groaned, muscles trembled.

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and sat cross-legged.

He didn't cultivate Source Power but immersed his mind in the card.

Communicating with the newly acquired 【Hellhound】.

“Come out!”

Buzz!

The card glowed.

A lithe, muscular, fiery red, two-headed Hellhound burning withquietgreen flames appeared in the gravity room.

As soon as it appeared, the 【Hellhound】 seemed somewhat anxious and restless.

Its two dog heads warily scanned its surroundings, emitting threatening growls from its throat, full of aggression.

“Quiet,” Lu Yuan transmitted his thoughts.

The 【Hellhound】 impatiently pawed the ground, and one of its heads shook impatiently.

Indeed, it was difficult to control, much harder to tame than the crocodile back then.

Lu Yuan didn't get discouraged; since he chose to use a second-hand card, he had to be prepared.

He mobilized his Source Power, attempting to establish a deeper mental link with the 【Hellhound】.

Like soothing a wild horse.

He couldn't forcefully suppress it; that would only provoke stronger resistance.

It required patience, guidance, and demonstrating sufficient sincerity.

He condensed his memories of killing Black Crow through Source Power into a wave of murderous aura and slowly transmitted it.

The 【Hellhound】's growls gradually subsided.

It felt the oppressive presence from its master.

“Sit down,” Lu Yuan commanded again.

This time, the 【Hellhound】 hesitated for a moment, but eventually, it slowly lowered its body.

Although its eyes were still fierce, at least, initial obedience had been established.

Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

This dog-like creature indeed bullies the weak and fears the strong...
