My cards can be infinitely combined.

Chapter 80 9-Star Great Demon

The hunter was undoubtedly powerful, possessing numerous attack skills. Every strike he made was a fiery slash, dealing damage of three to four thousand or more. His health was also "bottomless." However, Zhou Nan felt that it was not impossible to kill him!

Once it's defeated, based on Zhou Nan's experience, there's a 100% chance of success, and the rewards will be substantial.

The same applies to taking down the Sunset Green Dragon.

Zhou Nan also intended to take down the Sunset Green Dragon. He was unsure whether the Hunter or the Sunset Green Dragon was stronger. Judging from its performance, the Hunter seemed to be stronger, but the Sunset Green Dragon was more difficult to deal with because it had too many minions.

So, taking down the hunters first, and then the Sunset Dragon, are Zhou Nan's two short-term goals.

The reason Zhou Nan wanted to try to kill the hunter was because he found a small valley shaped like the Chinese character "凹" in the northwest corner of the Sunset Forest. Calling it a valley was a bit of an exaggeration; it was more like a dried-up pond or a pit. The outer edge was high ground, the entrance was narrow, and the inside was about the size of a basketball court.

Zhou Nan thought that if the hunters were lured into this concave pit and a strong tank was found to block the exit, the ranged attacks on the outer edge should be safe.

Of course, this is only a relatively favorable terrain. To take down the hunters, you still need to rely on cards. Zhou Nan felt that relying solely on his own cards wouldn't be enough. It would be best to call over [Outrageous] as well. His granite golem is not only durable, but also has two major control skills.

Next, Zhou Nan contacted [Li Dapu] and invited him to join him in a room in [Sunset Forest]. [Li Dapu] was naturally willing, but since the system randomly matches players to rooms in [Sunset Forest], it wouldn't be easy for Zhou Nan to enter the same room as [Li Dapu].

Zhou Nan wasn't in a hurry. He methodically farmed the Sunset Forest, becoming increasingly proficient in various strategies and never making a mistake. Every time he opened a Forest Treasure, he would get a Wild Gem and a Green Card.

As for the cards that are drawn, Zhou Nan will keep them for the time being, as long as they are not the Wind Wolf King.

He has extremely strong execution skills. Once he gets a Wild Gem, he upgrades the star level of [Great Demon Chen Batian]. After upgrading, he goes to the exclusive training ground to update the backup data and collects the appearance fee.

Meanwhile, in the forum section of the Card Training Grounds, the continuously updated post titled "[Invincible in Ten Directions]" remains popular, with more and more players replying.

"Holy crap, Chen Xiaotian's leveled up to 4 stars! He recovers 4000 HP in a second with just a laugh!"

"This is outrageous!"

He laughed heartily, his health rapidly increasing; the harder he attacked, the wilder his laughter became!

"Five stars..."

"Six stars!"

"Are you kidding me? Who is Chen Xiaotian's master? That beast! He even gave him a star upgrade! How are we supposed to fight him?"

"Seven stars!"

"The poster's update schedule is lagging behind! Chen Haha just reached eight stars!"

"Chen Haha, that's a good nickname!"

"I fought Chen Xiaotian while I was crying!"

"Chen Xiaotian is safest when he's laughing; he's most terrifying when he's not laughing!"

"Top floor, you're absolutely right. Chen Xiaotian is terrifying when he wields a knife. His normal attack deals 2400 damage; who can withstand that?"

"It's outrageous that this card isn't on the celebrity rankings!"

"Looking forward to the strongest nine-star Chen Batian!"

"Let the Red Savage try fighting Chen Batian? He's supposed to be invincible through blood-sucking? He'd exhaust him to death..."

【Great Demon Chen Batian】is becoming increasingly well-known among players, and its popularity is rising rapidly. It has even made it onto the star card ranking list, and its ranking continues to rise.

At this moment, the information of [Great Demon Chen Batian] was updated again. It has risen to nine stars and also entered the top ten of the star card rankings, pushing [Red Wildman Dardanelles] down.

Zhou Nan was slightly surprised to see his card, [Great Demon Chen Batian], appear on the homepage of the Star Card Ranking. He knew beforehand that [Great Demon Chen Batian] and [Wild King Haha Ken] were on the Star Card Ranking. The system had given him a notification, and Zhou Nan chose to appear anonymously. He thought his cards wouldn't rank very high, but he never expected that [Great Demon Chen Batian] would actually reach tenth place.

Zhou Nan then checked the rankings of cards like [Wild Man King Hahaken], and they were surprisingly quite high.

"Wait a minute, did someone buy the wrong data plan?"

Zhou Nan then realized something was wrong. After a little research, he discovered that the mystery lay in the forum section.

He hadn't paid attention to the forum before, and little did he know that the discussion about red cards and black cards was so intense that it was almost forming two opposing factions.

"So that's why they earn so much in appearance fees...it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with it!"

Zhou Nan was quite pleased with himself. After browsing through a few posts, he liked the posts by [Justice Greatsword] and [Ten Directions Invincible], and then went to browse [Sunset Forest].

[Great Demon Chen Batian] has now been upgraded to nine stars.

Even without considering the Wild Gem, Zhou Nan spent 45900 gold coins just to buy [Sage's Blood] and [Demon Crystal]!

If it weren't for his own cards performing so well and earning him a lot of appearance fees in the training grounds, Zhou Nan wouldn't have been able to spend so freely.

And the Nine-Star Demon Chen Batian was indeed powerful, his health points increased to 90000, he recovered 90 health points per second, and his attack power was 2700!

Although the skill strength remains unchanged, the laugh heals 9000 points of health per second, so theoretically, the damage per second would need to exceed 1376 points to potentially kill it.

In fact, Zhou Nan felt that the Great Demon Chen Batian had a stronger output ability. His attack power was 2700 and his attack speed was 1.0. Even with a normal attack, his output was explosive!

Zhou Nan's next enhancement target is [Panda Panmie]. The higher its star rating, the more materials are needed to upgrade it. Upgrading to four stars requires four Wild Gems, upgrading to five stars requires five Wild Gems, and so on. Fortunately, no other enhancement materials are needed.

After clearing Sunset Forest four more times, Zhou Nan upgraded Panda Panmie to six stars!

Six-star Pan Mie has 18 HP, 888-900 ATK, 4 Armor, and 1.0 ATK speed!

Zhou Nan was excited by these attribute data.

"A panda with 180,000 HP... It seems the panda race really has a high potential, not much less than a dragon..."

Zhou Nan's confidence in killing the hunters increased considerably.

When Zhou Nan went to Sunset Forest again, he finally encountered something truly outrageous!

[Outrageous] As soon as they entered the game, they shouted in the chat channel: "The Phoenix Clan is recruiting! The Phoenix Clan is recruiting..."

Zhou Nan saw his message and couldn't help but laugh, replying, "Why are you back to your old ways!"

[Outrageous]: "I'm moved to tears. It's been so long! After so many times running dungeons together, I've finally met you, my guild leader!"

Is this melon ripe?: "No spamming with GGs."

[This melon isn't ripe]: "There's this idiot who can transform into a red-haired jackal and eat people. Everyone be careful! This person is treacherous, cunning, and despicable. If you see a red-haired jackal, kill him!"

[Han Buxin]: "Holy crap!"

[Dali Hangzun]: "Red Card is invincible!"

【Northwest King of Debt】: "Invincible my ass, black cards are way stronger than red cards, okay...?"

Zhou Nan glanced at the chat channel and was delighted. There were quite a few familiar faces, and it looked very lively.
