Playing cards, I am your ancestor!-Chapter 327: Who Usually Copies National Guardian Level Cards

Chapter 327: Chapter 327: Who Usually Copies National Guardian Level Cards

The other three teammates weren’t foolish either.

The Mountain Ghost team consisted of five teammates for a group competition, but Duan Yuleng and Ming Fuzhi were directly grounded, unable to even leave the association. They already sensed that the issue with the Mountain Ghost might be related to these two.

They just didn’t know exactly what these two had done.

The other two teammates privately asked Luo Juerao, "Is it related to Brother Tan losing his spiritual power?"

Now rumors were flying all over the association, with the most widespread being that the ban on the Mountain Ghost was related to Tan Heming.

They said it was because Tan Heming lost his spiritual power and couldn’t participate in the competition, which led to the report.

But there had to be a reason for reporting.

The teammates had lived with Tan Heming day and night and knew he wasn’t the type of person to report. If Brother Tan did report, then there must be major issues within the Mountain Ghost.

Luo Juerao didn’t know how to explain, so he could only sigh and nod, "Although I don’t know the truth, that’s roughly what it means."

The incident indeed started because Tan Heming lost his spiritual power.

The teammate in the control position cautiously speculated, "So, it was really done by these two?"

The substitute teammate sneered, "I knew it. As soon as Brother Tan had an incident, that Ming Fuzhi scoundrel suddenly popped up to take Brother Tan’s place, and it wasn’t through normal means either."

The control continued, "So do they have a method to make someone lose their spiritual power, combined with the recent announcement by Ricardo from the Sanctuary to the whole world, saying we in Yunxia have a Spirit Card Master capable of making someone lose their spiritual power, is that why it’s become so severe?"

Luo Juerao nodded, "That’s what I guessed too."

The timing just happens to be too sensitive.

Right after Ricardo held a press conference about this, Tan Heming’s spiritual power incident occurred and then recovered.

These bizarre tactics are difficult to prevent, posing a terrifying threat to a world that relies on spiritual power for combat.

Spiritual power is their fundamental survival foundation.

It’s the life of a Spirit Card Master.

Just like a person needs air to breathe, spiritual power is also essential.

Can a person survive without air?

No.

A Spirit Card Master also cannot survive without spiritual power.

In this world that relies on card fighting strength, they absolutely cannot.

Now, with someone capable of stripping away your spiritual power, already targeting professional players, as long as there’s any clue, the Empire would rather mistakenly kill than let go.

Especially when there’s clear suspicion.

The decision to ban the Mountain Ghost must have been made after uncovering something significant.

Luo Juerao is not worried about this year’s competition, but about the future fate of the Mountain Ghost: "Can our association disentangle from this matter?"

Both the control and substitute fell silent.

Yes, if it implicates Duan Yuleng and Ming Fuzhi, the two major S-level players, they are the pillars of the association. No wonder the entire association is being dragged down with them.

No matter how hot things get within the Mountain Ghost, it doesn’t delay the normal conduct of national selections.

With the Mountain Ghost disqualified, Dongzhou can now secure a spot in the top ten.

Recently, professional players have been both competing and catching up on the latest gossip.

Everyone is so curious about the Mountain Ghost drama. Those with channels use them, those without look for connections, contacting former teammates, all hoping to get some clues.

The one who knows the truth the most is Wen Jiang, but unfortunately, Wen Jiang isn’t speaking.

Even the Song Family has not received any information this time.

Only Guo Shu, with his shifty eyes, came back with some gossip: "I heard that the investigation of the Mountain Ghost is led by Teacher Xu Chengdong. No wonder other associations don’t dare openly pry, the news isn’t getting out."

Xu Chengdong is one of Yunxia’s five UR-level Spirit Card Masters, based at the Qiao Family.

He once inquired about Wen Jiang, but knowing how busy Wen Jiang was, he didn’t particularly seek him out.

Now that Guo Shu is able to speak about this, it indicates the information is allowed to be disseminated.

Song Yi was too curious, "They’re even using the word ’investigation’, did the Mountain Ghost really commit a major crime?"

Guo Shu smacked his lips, "Seems so. Now they’re saying it’s related to Tan Heming losing his spiritual power. Could it actually have been done by someone within the Mountain Ghost? If so, this would be huge."

Song Yi casually suggested, "Could be Ming Fuzhi, with Tan Heming stepping down and him stepping up, the biggest beneficiary is often the biggest suspect."

Sheng Hongying suddenly glanced at Wen Jiang, who was sitting aside, lips curled, listening to gossip: "Didn’t you encounter an ordinary person who tried to make a move on you last time, Wen Jiang?"

Everyone only then realized.

Right, Wen Jiang did run into someone last time.

But they really didn’t sense anything unusual about that person, and Wen Jiang let them go shortly after. No one paid further attention to the situation that followed.

Looking back now, it made them shudder.

If indeed there’s an investigation revealing something, could the issue with the Mountain Ghost be linked to the person who attempted to make a move on Wen Jiang?

Song Yi directly asked, "What about that person?"

Wen Jiang: "For finding people, you should ask the police."

Song Yi: "..."

Song Yi scrutinized Wen Jiang, being unusually insightful for once: "If you were indeed attacked in the same way as Tan Heming, then why did Tan Heming lose his spiritual power, but nothing happened to you? Don’t say it’s because you’re strong!"

That would be so infuriating!

Wen Jiang chuckled lightly, "That’s because this person was on high alert. You know, I’ve done so many bad things, I always remain highly sensitive to everything around me."

Everyone: "..."

Being this straightforward really makes it difficult to continue the conversation.

Of course, they knew Wen Jiang was purely joking; she must have special means to guard against such attacks.

But if it were them...

Guo Shu thought about it, "In the coming period, aside from training, try not to interact with any strangers when you’re not at the association."

It’s competition time, and Guo Shu doesn’t want any Tan Heming-like incidents occurring.

Wen Jiang can protect herself, but what about the others?

Tan Heming is no slouch; even with the Black Tortoise, Sheng Hongying might not be guaranteed to beat him.

For such a strong person to fall victim, other associations need to be cautious too.

Everyone understood the seriousness of it, and wouldn’t take it lightly. They all nodded, "Got it."

From now on, they would try to participate in collective activities.

They also wouldn’t leave the association, and when they reach Card City, they’ll be even more careful.

After all, it’s even more of a mixed bag there.

Probably this year’s players will be considerably more cautious than last year, with associations strictly ordering them not to wander around carelessly.

Guo Shu glanced at Wen Jiang, knowing she had a lot of matters to handle, and no one could control her whereabouts. He could only sigh and say, "Wen Jiang, handle things as you see fit."

This big shot has both power and pride, with the Empire surely backing her, so he wasn’t too worried.

Wen Jiang curled her lips and suddenly asked a dangerous question.

"Who is generally responsible for copying National Guardian Level cards?"
