Catastrophe Card King-Chapter 652 - 218 Third Tier [Giant Dragon Hunter]

Chapter 652: Chapter 218 Third Tier [Giant Dragon Hunter]

Master Merlin looked at the Dragon Descendant materials Leonard Churchill had taken out. His expression was genuine; he didn’t attempt to hide his sentimentality and anticipation.

He gazed at Leonard Churchill, sparing no praise, and said with a tone full of emotion, “You lad, have truly brought me a great surprise. But then again, the Old Continent is indeed a wonderful place. Even if I had wanted these materials before, there was simply nowhere to find them…”

These Dragon Descendant materials were enough for him to complete many experimental projects.

Not to mention their value, their research significance was even immeasurable to the entire world of card masters.

“…”

Leonard Churchill listened and humbly smiled.

This master appeared eccentric to outsiders.

In reality, those individuals tried every trick in the book to flatter him, but they weren’t using the right approach.

Little did they know, a legendary figure of such stature no longer cared about worldly desires like power, money, and sensual pleasures, nor would he readily accept favors.

Although Leonard Churchill did mean to ask for his help, his own intentions weren’t so utilitarian.

He merely felt that treasures like the “Blood of the Red Dragon” should be in the hands of someone worthy to be meaningful.

Once given, it was given.

Even without any return.

A master of Master Merlin’s caliber could easily perceive such thoughts, which is why he showed such a friendly attitude.

Among that pile of Containment Cards, Elements, flesh, mystery, spirit…

All four major types of materials were complete.

Master Merlin took a look and readily agreed, “I’ll help you refine your Profession Card. As for the finished product, I’m sure its effects will be most satisfactory.”

With that, he also glanced at Leonard Churchill, “Of course, if you don’t mind testing your body attributes, perhaps the Profession Card’s enhancement will be even more precise.”

Leonard Churchill naturally had no objections and said, “Thank you, Master.”

As for exposing privacy?

No need to consider it.

Even if it were about a [ JOKER], Leonard Churchill felt that the Master had already guessed that his fused Demon Mark was different.

After all, each of his three tiers involved a different kind of Profession Card, which explained a lot.

The Demon Mark was very special; it couldn’t just be taken and used.

On the contrary, for a legendary card maker like him, seeing a living “fusion sample” was even more meaningful for research.

…

As he spoke, Master Merlin turned and started fiddling with the equipment beside him.

Leonard Churchill also sat down at the device specifically for testing body attributes.

He had seen Seven Brown use these devices before.

Leonard Churchill also skillfully, according to his memory, connected the wires, tubes, helmet, and the like to his body.

Seeing Leonard Churchill handling it by himself, Master Merlin felt relieved of much trouble, which improved his mood even further.

While placing the Dragon’s Blood into a more stable culture vessel, he couldn’t help but say with excitement in his voice, “By the way, do you know what it means that you’ve brought me this drop of a Great Dragon’s Blood?”

Leonard Churchill casually speculated, “Does it mean that the secrets of High-level Being bloodline genes can be researched?”

Hearing this, Master Merlin glanced at him and said, “You lad have quite the insight. Ordinary people would only consider this an Epic Material. They wouldn’t see its research value.”

Leonard Churchill smiled without saying a word.

Genetic technology from his past life wasn’t weak, so his understanding was natural.

However, it was indeed ‘unconventional’ for someone in this world of card masters to think like this.

Unexpectedly, in the wise and profound look of Master Merlin’s eyes, there was a flash of perceptiveness, and he said something loaded with meaning, “And it’s not just that. It means… I might have found the most crucial secret to card masters reliably entering the Seventh Tier without mutations.”

“The Seventh Tier?”

Hearing this, Leonard Churchill was genuinely surprised.

Was that a realm above Legend?

His thoughts quickly shifted, but he couldn’t see how these Dragon Descendant materials were related to breaking through Legend.

But he also considered that card masters in this world indeed seemed to be stuck at the Sixth Tier, with Legendary Realm being the pinnacle.

No, to be more precise, that was the case for the current card masters.

Various signs indicated that ancient card masters once existed with powers truly comparable to gods.

Thus, hearing about this, Leonard Churchill’s curiosity was instantly piqued.

That is, why are today’s card masters trapped at the Sixth Tier?

Before he could ponder further, Master Merlin explained, “Yes. There have been countless predecessors stuck at the bottleneck of the Sixth Tier, even Legendary Card Masters have tried. But without exception, they all ended up with mutations.”

There were few people in the world who could answer this question.

Yet the legend before him definitely qualified.

Leonard Churchill wore a look of eager anticipation for more information, “Oh? One hundred percent mutated? Why? Is it because their bodies can’t handle the Extraordinary Traits?”

If one would mutate one hundred percent after breaking through the Sixth Tier, it wasn’t just an issue of physical endurance; something must be wrong in the process.

Master Merlin continued, “Because there are absolutely no traditions beyond Legend among the common folk, they can only blindly grope their way. This groping is like pioneering new land, and it has led to countless exceptional predecessors mutating and dying while exploring the unknown.”

“…”

Hearing this, Leonard Churchill also frowned and fell into thought.

In various Classic Books, he had read that resources for card masters on the East Continent were indeed scarce, even materials for the fifth and sixth tiers were extremely rare.

This restriction on the development of card masters had existed for over two thousand years.

But that was before!

Now the Old Continent had been discovered.

It was as if an “ancient library” had been uncovered, and people had found a gateway that could finally open the door to “Super Tier knowledge.”

Inside those Relics, within the Alternate Dimension, though dangerous, there lay countless treasures left by the ancients.
