Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 676: Chapter 224 Legend Demigod_2

“Oh?”

The old man chuckled. Since he was willing to teach, he naturally did not hesitate to demonstrate it once more.

With a spread of his fingers, this time five small tornados appeared on each of his fingertips.

If you want to watch, then watch closely!

Transforming air into a spiral, this is the top-tier Air Skill technique accessible at your level.

Many card masters spend their whole lives without even touching the threshold of High Tier secrets.

He understood Leonard Churchill’s current state. It was just like when he saw his own Teacher demonstrate this move for the first time—the ultimate control of an Air Skill Master had left him deeply shocked for a long time.

But what he actually wanted to say was that this was a process that required long-term comprehension.

However, before the words could leave his mouth, he heard Leonard Churchill say with a touch of excitement, “I feel like I’m about to… kind of understand it.”

On hearing this, Barre Shepherd, who had lived for over a hundred years, froze, pondering: Understood it?

He didn’t have time to reflect on what “understood it” meant.

He watched as Leonard Churchill’s expression slightly furrowed as if he felt something was still missing.

Then, Curse Power surged, and an Illusion with a sly smile of a Demon God appeared behind him.

An indescribable presence of the Demon God swept through the mine.

Barre Shepherd touched his old face, feeling something was off, “…”

He wasn’t surprised that Leonard Churchill could perform Demonic Solution; after all, he had seen plenty of geniuses in his lifetime.

What he found strange was, what series was this Clown Demon God from?

He had neither seen it nor heard of it before.

But as this thought passed, an even bigger shock awaited him.

After the Demonic Solution, the Enlightenment bonus from the “Deceiver” entry jumped from +10 to +20, not to mention an additional +5 from the Clown mask.

Leonard Churchill entered a state of ultra-comprehension in an instant.

The insight that felt like slipping away was suddenly grasped firmly in his hands.

It wasn’t just a feeling, but a tangible sensation!

Leonard Churchill, with undivided attention, saw only the Cyclone on Barre Shepherd’s fingertips reflected in his eyes. His thoughts seemed to unravel the process of condensing the Cyclone, then he distinctly felt a layer of wind coiling around his palm…

It was like learning to ride a bicycle; at some moment, he suddenly grasped the sensation of cutting through the wind, and, unknowingly, he had mastered the technique!

He had caught the wind!

Leonard Churchill truly felt that he could grasp the “wind” in his hands as if it would no longer slip through like usual.

The moment of comprehension continued, and his thoughts soared rapidly.

He attempted to Control Air, slowly gathering the “soft silk-like” wind at his fingertips.

Then… started to twist it into a spiral.

Right at this moment, Leonard Churchill was fully immersed in this learning state, utterly unaware that the old man across from him was staring, dumbfounded.

…

Barre Shepherd thought in awe, “This kid… actually has such a remarkable ability to comprehend?”

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe that a novice Air Skill Master could watch once and grasp the essence of Control Air.

The slight sweat on his forehead indicated that Leonard Churchill had barely touched the tip of the iceberg, and yet that was enough to astonish Barre Shepherd, the Air Skill Grandmaster!

The high smile on the face of the Demon God’s Phantom seemed to mock what he was about to say earlier.

Good thing he had spoken slowly.

Otherwise, to think that it had taken him nearly a year to master the technique of Control Air…

Never mind.

After the initial shock, Barre Shepherd gave a relieved smile, “This kid’s Professional Sequence has some tricks, huh…”

While he gave a wry smile, more than anything, he felt relieved.

At that moment, Barre Shepherd realized that this young man could not be treated ordinarily.

Had it been anyone else, he would have truly believed that no matter how willing he was to teach, they couldn’t learn from him.

Previously, he thought this was a decent young man. Now, he seemed like a grand gift from fate.

It was indeed fortunate to meet such a good successor when he could see the end of his life looming.

As he was thinking, the Air in Leonard Churchill’s hand disappeared after barely two seconds, and he murmured to himself, “Ah… what a pity, it’s dispersed.”

Barre Shepherd listened with a slightly bizarre expression but ultimately said lightly, “Mhm. You’ve done very well already.”

Leonard Churchill reflected on his failure and self-critiqued, “Ah… it’s indeed difficult. To maintain the Cyclone without dispersing, it’ll take at least several days of practice…”

Barre Shepherd: “…”

The wine he was drinking suddenly lost its flavor.

Leonard Churchill exhaled softly and did not attempt to practice consolidating the Cyclone further.

He couldn’t stay in the seventh level of the mine for long and cherished the time his senior was teaching him.

He had mastered the method, and it was time to practice on his own from now on.

It would be better to learn a bit more about other things.

Leonard Churchill directly asked, “Senior, I should be able to master the trick of condensing a Cyclone between my fingers in a few days. Can you teach me something else? I’ll practice it on my own, and when I come tomorrow, you can give me more guidance…”

He truly had been lost in a state of sudden comprehension, but coming back to his senses, he knew his performance might have been somewhat astonishing.

Yet, he didn’t think it was anything negative.

In front of a mentor like this, the last thing needed was pretentious modesty; instead, he needed to show his ability to learn so that the mentor could teach him according to his potential.

Since he could learn and the mentor was willing to teach, it was best to learn as much as possible.

Moreover, this was Upper State Prison, controlled by the Orlan Remnants, and Leonard Churchill always felt it was more prudent to learn as much as he could.

He never forgot that he had an entry called “Gambler of Misfortune” marked on his panel.
