Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1640 - Chapter 1640 Chapter 498 Dragon Egg

Chapter 1640: Chapter 498 Dragon Egg Chapter 1640: Chapter 498 Dragon Egg Leonard Churchill and Sophia Jones stepped out of the tent.

Outside the cave, the noise of battle seemed common to others attending to their own matters.

Bonnie was tinkering with the colorful poison bottles; John Charlie was holding the Demon Sword [Night Whale Kill], meditating to comprehend the Sword Intention; Rosin and Sam were fussing over dinner by a small fire. Tired of eating dry food for so long, they wanted to cook something warm…

As Sophia Jones emerged, everyone turned their heads to greet: “Leader.”

However, seeing Leonard Churchill come out with her, their gazes froze momentarily before they excitedly exclaimed: “Leonard brother!”

Advancing to the Seventh Rank sometimes took an unknown length of time, and these past few days had flown by.

Seeing Leonard reappear suddenly, the shock and relief was palpable as everyone simultaneously heaved a sigh of relief.

Advancing to the Transcendent level had its risks, failing to bear the Extraordinary Traits of the Profession Card could cause mutations.

Moreover, the Seventh Rank was a watershed moment for Top-level Card Masters. In the East Wilderness, this rank was nearly taboo, as countless predecessors had perished at this threshold over the past three thousand years.

Aside from Sophia Jones, they hadn’t seen another Seventh-Order Card Master from the East Wilderness.

The officers didn’t know Leonard’s condition and thought his hurried advancement was for this expedition, inevitably bearing greater risks.

So seeing Leonard safe and sound, everyone was both excited and concerned.

“Leonard brother, did you successfully advance? Is everything going well?”

“How does it feel to advance? Eh… how come I can’t sense any aura from you after your advancement?”

“Ah… Leonard, which Professional Sequence are you following? I can’t feel any change.”

“…”

Everyone gathered around, scrutinizing Leonard from head to toe.

Being at the Sixth Tier themselves and soon facing the same breakthrough, they bombarded him with various questions.

Unable to answer all at once, Leonard simply smiled and said: “Well, smoothly.”

During this half-month of advancement, not only Sophia Jones but everyone was watching over him, and it was time to say thank you.

Subsequently, he added: “Thanks for taking care of everything these days.”

Bonnie and others did not mind at all.

As it was dinner time, they gathered around the bonfire together.

As soon as Leonard sat down, the oil-dripping Ivan jumped into his lap, snuggling cozily: “Ah … Leonard, you finally came out.”

Leonard chuckled and patted the little girl’s head, suddenly noticing someone was missing, he asked: “By the way, where is Senior Clinton?”

Bonnie replied, “I don’t know… Just the second day after you started your advancement retreat, the old senior suddenly disappeared.”

Everyone looked puzzled, and Rosin, thinking Leonard was worried about the old senior, added: “The leader said not to worry, so we didn’t look further.”

However, Leonard just uttered a “Oh.”

There was no need to worry about him.

It wasn’t the first time for sudden disappearances; Leonard didn’t take it seriously.

People just gathered around the bonfire, enjoying their dinner.

Everyone was curious, and Leonard generously shared his advancement process.

While eating, they talked.

Even though Sophia Jones was already a Seventh Rank in the Revolutionary Army with her [Lady Valkyrie] Sequence, it was too unique, offering little that others could learn from.

Instead, Leonard’s versatile profession opened insights for Bonnie and others, drawing their rapt attention.

His route was mastering the Elemental Laws, along with Air Skill and Martial Arts, covering most of the Fifty-two Demon God Sequence.

Thus, Leonard could answer almost any question they had.

Others listened and found applicable experiences for themselves.

The conversation lasted an hour.

…

“I always thought [Scholar] was unreliable. Seeing you now, I realize reaching a High Tier really makes you outrageously strong… knowing all laws and mastering all fields.”

“Wow, Leonard, you’re really outrageous… How come the Seventh Rank sounds so easy when you talk about it? Like it’s just a casual advancement?”

“That’s because Leonard brother has a solid foundation, with Divine Power and Domain both enhanced. It would be strange if he couldn’t advance. Bonnie, stop daydreaming and focus on comprehending the Domain…”

“No wonder, Leonard brother, you chose full Elemental Affinity? With that, your [True Understanding of All Things] must be invincible, right?”

“Exactly! Even when he was at the Sixth Tier, he could already match a Seventh-order Ascetic. Now, I can’t think of how he could lose unless it’s an overwhelming advantage in tier…”

“Hey, who do you think is more powerful, Leonard brother or the leader? Hahaha…”

“…”

Leonard’s extensive knowledge once again earned everyone’s recognition.

His explanation of transcendent knowledge was immensely beneficial to all.

Since they were already familiar with each other, Bonnie and others even joked about Sophia Jones and Leonard.

The atmosphere was very harmonious.

However, while chatting, suddenly, the air shifted with the stealthy arrival of the chief assassin ‘Sick Tiger’ Dan Dong, who had just returned from scouting.

He looked at Leonard, also surprised: “Yo, Leonard brother, successfully advanced?”

Leonard nodded with a smile.

Dan Dong sat by the bonfire, and Sam added a bowl of meat soup for him.

Knowing he had news, Sophia Jones asked: “Uncle East, what’s the situation outside? Today’s battle seems more intense than yesterday…”

Dan Dong mentioned: “Yes, leader. It seems like those from the Holy Church have discovered something. Now, there’s constant fierce fighting on the fifteenth and sixteenth floors… just now, the Holy Church brought in a dozen more large Mercenary Corps, I saw at least two thousand elite troops go down.”
