Catastrophe Card King

There’s no need.

After all for him, nowhere in the city is necessarily safe now.

On the contrary, because someone has been to the dormitory, he feels more at ease.

Now that the fourth master of the Miller family is likely searching for him all over the city, the secluded dormitory building of the Corpse Collector is even safer.

Thinking of this, Leonard Churchill took out the Unnamed Golden Breathing Method from his Storage Ring and began to study it carefully.

What he needs to do now is to enhance his power as soon as possible so that he won’t have to live in constant fear once he becomes powerful.

With the Demon’s Feast, becoming stronger is just a matter of time.

Now he has a breathing method that suits him.

All set.

Leonard Churchill felt as if the “path of the brute” was beckoning him.

Just like the time he met that King Kong Demon Monkey on the train, if anyone dares to hypnotize him again, he would punch them one by one!

The thin booklet seemed to have infinite magic power. Leonard Churchill was quickly immersed as he flipped through it.

His extraordinarily high enlightenment allowed him to gradually comprehend the descriptions about the mysteries of breathing.

The more carefully he contemplated, the more shocking it felt.

“The gap is too wide. The gap between the Great Dark Breathing Method and this fragment of the breathing method is so big? No wonder the shopkeeper said it is related to the remnants of the ancient Demon God’s breathing method…’¹

The more Leonard read, the more incredible it seemed.

He had attended classes before and knew some common knowledge.

The breathing method mainly serves two purposes. The first one is to condense the free elements in the void into one’s own Curse Power through breathing. The second is to create a “water tank” in the body to store the Curse Power.

Generally speaking, the better the quality of the breathing method, the higher the condensation efficiency, and the larger the water tank that can be cast.

The grades of each Card Master Apprentice and their Curse Power Value are not the same.

According to the level description of ordinary breathing techniques like the Great Dark Breathing Method, a Card Master Apprentice’s Curse Power ranges from level 1-9, with approximate values of too, 150, 230, 360, 54.0, 810,1200, 1800, 2700, 4000 (max).

Each level is about 1.5 times higher than the previous one.

The difference becomes even larger in the later stages.

Black Iron Breathing Method and Silver Breathing Method usually provide a 20 – 70% increase in value. Moreover, the Demon Mark, Professional Sequence, environment, drugs and other factors also influence it. So even for the same breathing method, the value varies from person to person.

But according to the description in this booklet, the incomplete Golden Breathing Method, Once cultivated to the sixth stage, it will already exceed a Curse Power Value of 4000!

If this is cultivated to the ninth stage, wouldn’t it be many times that of a regular Card Master Apprentice?

It could even be comparable to a full-fledged Curse Card Master.

However, this is still if an average person learn it.

Leonard’s situation is different from that of ordinary people learning this breathing method!

His demon contract fusion is the very special Joker.

There is also a hidden threshold for the breathing method, which is an individual’s endurance.

In simple terms, it refers to the tolerance of Curse Power brought about by Elemental Affinity.

The higher the affinity, the more Curse Power the body can handle.

Elemental Affinity can be improved through subsequent cultivation and certain materials. It usually has a direct relationship with the Demon Mark.

This is why those Magic Type Curse Card Masters have stronger Curse Powers as they get older.

Although Leonard currently has relatively low affinity in all aspects, he can absorb from corpses!

By integrating with the Joker, he obtained the potential to increase all elemental affinities. As long as there are enough high-quality corpses, he can even raise each elemental affinity to a very high level.

What does that mean?

In other words, if he cultivates based on his conditions, the Curse Power value may even far exceed the theoretical data in the booklet.

“What… What’s the significance behind this secret skill?”

Leonard has not even touched the Black Iron Breathing Method, so he has no idea how powerful the breathing method in his hand is.

But the value he estimated in his heart is already outrageous.

With the Joker, it’s far beyond what an ordinary Silver Breathing Method can achieve.

It’s not just one grade higher, but many!

And this is just a fragment.

From the shopkeeper’s words, it seems that this breathing method has a significant origin?

Does that mean that there might be others in the city practicing the subsequent formulas?

Leonard has even started to look forward to what the complete breathing method would look like.

However, the six formulas he has for now are enough.

For a long time in the future, Leonard Churchill did not need to worry about the Breathing Method.

Besides, reaching the sixth level of Curse Power almost made him feel like he was already at the peak of a Card Master Apprentice’s potential.

Leonard knew that the combined Joker Mark he had was powerful, but it was only now that he felt again its hidden exaggerated amplification!

Soon, Leonard reviewed the incomplete Breathing Method for the first time.

He had memorized all the content of the mantra.

And his high enlightenment made his brain work like a computer, as if it was running once the code-like mantras were inputted.

Analyze, enlighten, understand, master…

After pondering for a few hours, Leonard felt that he seemed to have some mastery.

At least he has learned the mantra of the previous section.

The astonishing Curse Power Value he calculated made him somewhat skeptical.

The first set of mantra would cultivate a Curse Power Value exceeding 1000?

Does the first level of the Golden Fragment equals the sixth level of the Great Dark Breathing Method?

This outrageous difference made him suspect that he overlooked something or calculated incorrectly.

Without overthinking, Leonard began the actual operation.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and entered a meditative state.

According to the mantra in the booklet, he began to try to absorb the various elemental particles in the air.

The moment he closed his eyes, nearly an hour passed.

Suddenly, the sensation of perfect circulation made Leonard withdraw from the fully focused elemental breathing state.

He opened his eyes.

An hour for a single cycle of Curse Power, which was twice as slow as the Great Dark Breathing Method.

However, Leonard’s eyes shimmered brightly.

Because,

The increased Curse Power Value was more than ten times!

Leonard knew that before meditation, his Curse Power Value was 115.

But now it was 119.

That’s an increase of a full 4 points.

What does this signify?

If it were the previous breathing method, it would increase by at most 0.3!

Furthermore, according to the previous Dark Breathing Method, his value of too was already at the First Level Curse Power.

Once he reached this value, he would feel a saturation in his breathing, the efficiency of absorbing elements with this mantra would greatly decrease, and he might even stagnate.

This would necessitate the second set of breathing mantras to increase the “walls of the water tank”, to increase capacity before practicing.

However.

This incomplete Golden Breathing Method was different.

Just the first set increased his “water tank’s bottom” in an exaggerated manner, despite being at the first stage, the Curse Power capacity was ten times greater than before!

Only after Leonard put it into actual practice did he realize that this Breathing Method was far stronger than expected.

The reason for this remarkable efficiency was due to the abundance of elements breathed in.

Before, he could only absorb the dark element.

But now, all types of elements could be breathed in and converted into Curse Power.

The previous Great Dark Breathing Method was like spinning silk, extracting one black thread to absorb from a spectrum of colors.

Now, with the incomplete Golden Secret Skill, it was like a whale swallowing, consuming all the free elemental particles around.

Feeling the changes brought about by the new Breathing Method, Leonard felt that the adventure on Dark Rain Street was completely worth it.

It could save him more than ten times the meditation time.

“Hiss… This Breathing Method is amazing,”

Leonard, having experienced the benefits, was shocked for a moment, then closed his eyes again and started meditating.

As long as he had enough time, the path of a Curse Card Master would be smooth sailing.

The slight accident he encountered on Dark Rain Street was instantly felt valuable!
