Chapter 227: Tang
Date- 27 Mar 2321
Time- 9:20
Location- Sky Blossom City, The Sky Blossom Card Stadium, Set 4 Arena 37
Arena 37 Dalton Wyatt Vs Vivian Cale
As I stood in Arena 37, I could hear the noise of a bored crowd and proud parents watching their children embark on the journey of Card apprentice. Maybe if the tragedy had not struck the Wyatt family, Mama and Papa Wyatt would be among the audience cheering for young Wyatt at his first-ever CardFight tournament.
“Hi, Dalton Wyatt. I saw your victory over Nick Bright, impressive.” Vivian, my opponent for the first round of the tournament, praised my victory over the bright brothers. But she was not done there, she added, “If that is your full strength then that is not enough to defeat me. Since the staff has asked the giant summon user to use summon armament, your chances are even lower than before as the obvious advantage of your summon will be useless since you will be using a summon armament, right?”
“Are you worthy? Worthy to make me use a summon armament.” My answer may sound arrogant and prideful but I had 5 A-rank Viltronian Stone giant monsters in my hands which could easily take down a dozen of card lords to back up claims.
“A win over nobody and you start to think you are the strongest and act full of yourself. It looks like it will be easier to kill you than I thought.” Vivian sneered as she gave me a scorn filed look.
“Why do you want to kill me? I have no hatred with you or your friends and family.” I asked Vivian.
“Don’t act like you do not know anything? After all, you are at the centre of this incident. Do you know how much my family paid to call first dibs on you? 75,000 soul Jades. Yes, 75,000 soul jades, that’s how much your life is currently worth. If my family was not willing to pay that much I would not get to fight you in the first round of the tournament.” Explained Vivan.
It took many big families to come together to arrange this tournament and everyone had one goal, which is to kill me at the hands of their progeny. As only the family that kills me will gain the favour of the Southern Emperor. In order to reduce infighting, the Circle who did not care about gaining favours with the Southern Emperor because they already had a different demigod backer came up with a plan to auction which family gets to fight with me in the first round of the tournament. The Circle had paid the most by taking out the False Relic tournament first place reward, so they wanted to make up for the losses this way.
As for the Cale family, why they were desperate to kill me was because of their family business, Potion Production and distribution. They wanted to make use of the favour they gained with the Southern Emperor by killing me to get the silver milk powder production started in their potion creation plants, they could not be more obvious. Since the Cale family stood to gain the most they did not hesitate to spend the most.
“What? I would have fought a life and death match with you for half of that amount of soul Jades.” I was not joking, if the Cale family was willing to bet 37,500 soul jades I would have signed up for a life and death match with Vivan any time they asked me to. Hearing my words Vivan was angry but before she could refute the announcer commenced the fight.
“3.. 2.. 1, Fight”
[External Participant: Vivian Cale
Age- 17 years old
Realm- Card Soldier
Grimoire- Gold Grade
Faction – Cale Family, the Potioneer family and one of the top 5 families and 3 richest families of sky blossom city after the Whiteburn and Chou family.
Caution- Black
Origin Card- unknown
Combat type- Potioneer]
Potioneer, Potion-Brewers or Potion Maker make one-time use potion cards like the A-rank Highland Troll blood essence which old Ben drank to recover from his injuries. Though the one used by old Ben is on a higher side of price level and effect there are various types of potion in a varying range of prices, levels and effects.
Potion brewing is similar to a normal card creation where we follow the card recipe to use card ingredients to create a card, in the case of the potion brewing a potion card. That’s what I think Potion Brewing is, apparently true but according to the grimoire network, it is more complicated and sophisticated and requires in-depth knowledge of every medical ingredient to properly blend different poisonous medicines to get a useful potion card.
“Stone Viltronian! I choose you” I summoned the boss stone Viltronian as I planned to follow the same strategy I used against the bright brothers.
“Forbidden Garden” Vivan also activated her origin card and soon the whole Arena 37 turned into a freaking Jungle. But unlike the wild jungle, this one was well maintained as the trees, bushes and grass were trimmed at approximate height. The summoned jungle was very clean, especially the ground which was not filled with dead leaves or rotten fruits and flowers. The arena looked more like a British garden despite the tall trees in between. Vivian’s forbidden garden origin card seemed more like a field card than a summoning card.
“Welcome, Wyatt. You are the first man to enter my Forbidden Garden.” Vivian welcomed me into her forbidden garden.
“So, I am you first. Hahaha” Hearing Vivian I burst out laughing, was she not hearing what she just said. It was extremely misleading.
“Why are you laughing?” Vivian still did not realise how inappropriate and misleading her sentence earlier was. My laughter was also of no help as it only infuriated her.
“Okay, now that you have welcomed me into your ‘Forbidden Garden’, will you serve your tang next?” Having said that, it was very hard for me to control my laughter.
“Tang, what is tang?…. Are you mocking me? Fairy guards assemble.”
