Catastrophe Card King - Chapter 1550

Chapter 1550: Chapter 473: Old Bible’s Secret Message Chapter 1550: Chapter 473: Old Bible’s Secret Message Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

Giant Spirit City, due to its proximity to the Magical Beast Forest, and positioned right at the crossroads of the Titan Mountains, boasted a richer concentration of Elements than any other place on the Southern Continent.

All year round, the city was home to some High-Order Card Masters who settled there for cultivation, and as a result, many high-end inns with Spirit Gathering Magic Prohibition systems emerged in the city.

North City, Maple Leaf Inn, was one such exclusive high-end inn.

On this day.

At a small building in the inn.

The Spirit Gathering Array made the Elements in the courtyard multiple times more intense than the outside world, but the cost was ten times that of an ordinary inn.

Leonard Churchill wasn’t short on money, nor was he stingy with spending it on cultivation, of course he’d choose a more suitable environment for himself.

Most importantly, the two Elemental Elves needed a rich Element environment to grow.

Moreover, that cheap Disciple had just advanced and had been a slave for too long, depleting his body; he was in dire need of supplementing his foundation.

…

In the courtyard, a dark-skinned youth was fiercely concentrating on controlling a flying bird in his hand.

Not letting it fly away, yet not crushing the bird completely formed of condensed Gang Air.

What seemed like a simple act caused the boy to break out in profuse sweat.

Yet he was relentlessly upbeat.

The youth was David.

Over the past month, David had gotten used to life with Leonard Churchill, his mentor who had descended from the heavens.

Having suffered in poverty for over a decade, even when he had met Barre Shepherd, he had never lived as comfortably as now.

Following this Teacher, not only did he receive guidance in cultivation, but he also had an endless supply of food that enhanced vitality and blood, and ingredients for Body Refinement.

It was like living a dream.

In this month, David’s progress in Martial Dao was incredibly fast.

Although Barre Shepherd’s Martial Dao Realm was higher, when it came to teaching, Leonard Churchill was certainly more appropriate.

He was not only proficient in fighting but also mastered nearly all the Secrets of the Extraordinary Sequence, including many of the Fifty-two Demonic God Secret Skills and various exotic Forbidden Spells and Curses.

Even David himself didn’t know just how preposterous the things he learned in this period were.

With more interaction, David was repeatedly astounded by his mentor’s breadth of knowledge.

Though he knew Leonard Churchill’s alter ego “Allen” followed the path of a Scholar, the kind of entry-level Scholar was nowhere near the legendary all-encompassing, all-knowing grand Scholar.

And his own Teacher was indeed that very “True Grand Scholar”!

No matter the question, his Teacher always had an answer ready.

Fighting, Curses, Spirit, Secrets, Curse Writing, Magic Arrays… Everything a card master could learn, he understood.

No!

Not just understood.

He could be considered an expert.

This reverence from David continued to grow the longer they trained together, becoming stronger and stronger.

Although David had never shown a shred of arrogance in front of anyone because of his good Talent,
he was, after all, a hot-blooded youth.

Finding no rivals in his own tier, he naturally held some pride and conceit.

Before meeting Leonard Churchill, he thought he was quite formidable himself.

Even those so-called geniuses who often “bullied” him at the Royal Academy, he believed that if he had enough resources, he would certainly be no worse than them.

But after encountering his Teacher, that pride was utterly dispelled.

He finally understood why his Teacher had called this previously unseen mentor a “monster.”

All the geniuses David had ever seen paled in comparison to his mentor.

This made the youth adopt an intense adoration as his goal, and he became even more diligent in his daily training.

…

Inside the house, Leonard Churchill was meditating cross-legged, contemplating the knowledge that his alter ego had acquired from the Royal Academy.

Even though he was not looking, he was acutely aware of all the activity in the courtyard.

David was a Disciple of Barre Shepherd: since Leonard had come across him, naturally he wouldn’t ignore him.

What one could learn at each stage was different.

With such a great talent in David, Leonard would of course provide guidance where he could.

Teaching hadn’t required much effort, as most of it was David’s own hard practice and comprehension.

The child from a poor home always knows how to cherish such rare opportunities more.

Not only did he practice punches and delve into the Mystery of Martial Arts during the day, but even while sleeping, he would meditate and practice the Breathing Method.

Being of his age and only recently introduced to the Breathing Method, it required tremendous self-control and focus to sit in Meditation all night.

Watching him progress rapidly day by day, Leonard felt quite heartened.

Clearly, as long as he didn’t have an untimely death, the future was bound to witness a Martial Arts master that would amaze the world.

While deep in Meditation, Leonard suddenly opened his eyes.

Looking at the [JOKER] card in his hand, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes as he murmured to himself, “It’s almost ready to use…”

Just like a firearm needs to be handled to feel right, Relics also require a period of acclimatization to become comfortable to use.

And even more so with a Relic of legend.

After acquiring this Curse God Card for a month and testing it every day, he finally felt completely attuned to it.

At that moment, he took out the [Black Spade 4] card he’d acquired from the assassination attempt on Young Master Sack.

On the facade of this Curse God Card was the design of a purple-black vortex, where he had engraved the [Void Teleport] Curse.

This allowed him to use Void Displacement almost limitlessly.

His ability to save himself had greatly increased.

If they had been two ordinary Curse God Cards, they would have only been considered a double surprise.

But clearly, the JOKER was no ordinary card.

Now, Leonard held the [Black Spade 4] between the index and middle fingers of his left hand, while his right hand held the [JOKER].

As his right hand infused Curse Power, a miraculous scene unfolded.

In the blink of an eye, the card that originally bore the gray Joker image of the [JOKER] began to slowly transform into another [Black Spade 4], identical to the one in his left hand!
