My Card Girl's Infinite Evolution

Luo Sheng exited the card world.

The Pure Water Sprite, now at full bronze stars, reverted to its original form, free from the polluted card state it had once been in.

Thanks to Luo Sheng's use of the Holy Light spell, the Pure Water Sprite had not turned into a damaged card.

Of course, his focus wasn't on this right now.

What really caught his attention was the change in the Ice Shield card in his hand. After a flash of blue light, it transformed into a brand-new card.

[ [Ice Water Protection]

Level: Bronze 9 stars

Type: Spell - Armor

Effect:

The card continuously provides protection to the user with the power of ice and water elements, without hindering the user's movement or line of sight.

Ice Water Protection: can effectively resist various attacks, especially damage from fire elements, and can greatly reduce the impact force. In an ice-water domain.

Ice Shield: increases defense by 10% to 30% and restores 3% to 9% of health. The level of the domain affects the additional benefits.

Overview: Blessed by the water sprite, this is a reward for distant guests.]

Luo Sheng stared at the card for a long moment.

Though the defensive card had only gained one additional star, its overall quality had clearly increased by a large margin.

The card's quality had risen to Exquisite level, and its effects had changed significantly, now including healing capabilities.

This upgraded shield card was unique—there was no other like it.

If this card were put on the market, it would cost at least a million to acquire.

The familiar feeling had returned.

Luo Sheng's mental progress had increased by 1%, reaching 68%. He was very close to advancing from Bronze 7 stars to Bronze 8 stars.

He had just obtained the Otherworld Fragment, so he could afford to take a break. He wanted to use the remaining twenty days before the selection competition to strengthen his existing cards, starting with Dongfang Muqing.

Otherwise, if his healing support wasn't strong enough, he might not last long in the competition, especially when surrounded and outnumbered.

Luo Sheng then picked up the Dongfang Muqing card, which was only at Bronze 6 stars.

Information about the enhancement flooded into his mind.

This card can be enhanced with the following options:

[ Dongfang Muqing is suddenly oppressed by a gang while performing and needs help.

Dongfang Muqing obtains a sacred artifact of the Qingluan Clan, and there might be an unexpected surprise inside.

Fusion with Tears of the Goddess to acquire a new ability.

If you possess enough cards, perhaps a miracle will occur.]

Luo Sheng's thoughts triggered a dreamy sensation, with sparkling lights, and his body vanished from the room. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a dark alley near the Niansheng Tang tea house.

"What are you doing?!"

A crisp voice shouted from inside Niansheng Tang.

Luo Sheng summoned Bai Moxue to hide in the shadows, while he himself didn't use a mecha but instead activated Ice Water Protection.

A faint water mist enveloped his body.

He shaped the mist into various forms, even close to his clothing, making it hard to notice.

Then, he walked gracefully into the tea house.

Inside the tea house

A rough, mocking laugh was heard from within, "You little girl, my young master has invited you multiple times, but you keep rejecting him. Now, it's our turn to invite you!"

"No! I won't go! Even if you kill me, I won't go. Your young master is perverted, I can tell he's a bad guy!"

Dongfang Muqing retorted angrily.

"You have no say in this!" one of the gang members grinned darkly. "My young master is the heir of the prestigious Nangong Family in Ling Shuang City. You, a nameless little girl, have no right to refuse."

Dongfang Muqing stood in the center of the stage, holding a konghou harp. She was fragile and constantly retreating, visibly frightened.

Her veil, which covered her appearance during performances, was ripped off.

As for her bodyguard, the female cultivator was either injured or too afraid of offending the Nangong Family, so she could only retreat to the side, helplessly watching the scene.

Several gang members prepared to take her back by force, holding thick ropes in their hands.

At that moment, a voice rang out from behind them, "Who allowed you to touch my pet?"

Though the voice was calm, it carried an immense anger, only held back for now.

Dongfang Muqing felt as though she had grasped a lifeline.

She quickly rushed behind Luo Sheng, gripping his sleeve, her eyes filled with tears and a pleading look.

With a sobbing tone, she cried, "Luo Sheng, you're so late. I almost got taken away by them. These bad people are so vicious. They even forced me to go to bed with their fat young master!"

Luo Sheng gently patted her head, his tone reproachful, "This is what happens when you don't listen to me. Now look at the trouble you've caused."

"Wuwu…"

Dongfang Muqing lowered her head, looking pitiful as if expecting a scolding. But her soft, boneless little hand tightened its grip, unwilling to let go, clinging to Luo Sheng as though terrified of being taken by the bad guys.

A gang member sneered, "Who's this little yellow-haired brat? Looking for trouble?"

The gang leader, a muscular man with a scar on his face, scowled and shouted, "Do you know who my young master is? Do you know the reputation of our Black Tiger Gang?"

Luo Sheng glanced at them disdainfully and asked mockingly, "Do I need to know?"

The scar-faced man, enraged that someone didn't recognize their name, spat, "Damn it! You're dead…"

Before he could finish, Luo Sheng produced a bronze card from his hand.

Immediately, the entire tea house froze, encased in ice, trapping the gang members in place with thick layers of ice beneath their feet.

Then, a woman in red with black hair emerged from the ice. A flash of golden light cut through the scene.

Several gang members lost their heads.

Only the scar-faced man remained alive.

He trembled with fear, realizing how terrifying Luo Sheng was. In the blink of an eye, all his subordinates had been killed.

He kneeled, trembling, and begged for mercy, "I'm blind! I didn't know this was your tea house. Please forgive me, I'll make amends. Please spare me!"

At this moment, Luo Sheng used Charged Arrow to sever his arm.

"Ahhh!!!" The scar-faced thug screamed in agony, cold sweat running down his back.

Luo Sheng coldly stated, "Go back and tell your boss. If he doesn't come and apologize within an hour, I'll flatten your so-called Black Tiger Gang."

"Understood, understood! I'll do it!" The scar-faced man, pale as a ghost, quickly grabbed his severed arm and hurried off.

The crisis in the tea house was over in less than a moment.

The female cultivators and tea house customers were dumbfounded, as were the people outside in the streets.

They had originally felt sorry for Dongfang Muqing, considering her delicate appearance and beautiful music, and lamented the loss of her to the Black Tiger Gang.

But now, they never imagined she had such a powerful master behind her.

"Alright, Niansheng Tang will be closed for the day. Tea is free for everyone, go home," Luo Sheng announced to the customers.

Other customers gradually left.

A few kind-hearted people even left some money behind before departing.

At this moment, a young man in green robes walked in, bowing respectfully. "Brother, my name is Huang Mei. I didn't expect Muqing to already have a master. No wonder she's always refused to show herself."

"No worries, you'll find someone even better," Luo Sheng responded courteously, seeing the young man's polite demeanor.

Huang Mei continued, "Miss Muqing is definitely safe with you. Even I wouldn't dare to intervene with the Black Tiger Gang. But please, be careful. The Nangong Family has a vast background, with many guest cultivators and death warriors in their service. They're a powerful force in Ling Shuang City. If possible, I would advise you to leave as soon as you can."
