Chapter 44: The Form of the Grass
The word "Yingcao", if translated literally, means "glowing grass".
Her logo is a dandelion-like plant with a glittering light on the flower parts.
This light is the source of the strength of Yingcao.
As a youkai-like god, Yingcao has three different "forms".
"Form" is the term in Baiwen cards, and the cards of Baiwen cards are divided into three types, namely "battle cards", "spell cards" and "form cards".
The "Heart Slash" that Uesugi Kiyoshi once used is the "Battle Card".
To put it in easier terms, most of the battle cards are physical attacks - of course, unlike normal attacks, battle cards generally come with a variety of powerful effects, and their power should not be underestimated.
A sorcery card is the equivalent of casting a "spell".
Morph cards, on the other hand, are a bit different in that they can change the "form" of the Shikigami by adding some additional traits to its original characteristics.
There are three different form cards, namely "Light of Healing", "Light of Courage", and "Light of Requiem".
The effect in the game, I won't go into details, the effect of these three Baiwen cards in Uesugi Kiyoshi's hand is very practical.
When the Light of Healing is used, it can heal Uesugi Kiyoshi's physical injuries to a certain extent.
When the Light of Courage is used, it can increase the power of Uesugi Kiyoshi's next attack by about 30%.
When the Requiem Light is used, it can increase the upper limit of Uesugi Kiyoshi by one "Ghost Fire".
In addition, the form card is not a disposable, and when Uesugi Kiyoshi uses the form card, the corresponding Shikigami will always be in this form, and its form ability will always be effective.
When the grass is in a certain form, the corresponding form effect can also be applied once a day in addition to the card.
As for the "Ghost Fire", it was the "consumption" of Uesugi Kiyoshi using the Hyakwen card - this thing was a function that was completed by the Hyakki Drawing Scroll after he slashed Yokodano and absorbed those mirages, and before that, he was exhausted after just using a "Heart Slash".
On the Hundred Ghost Picture Scroll, there are eight Baiwen cards next to the other Shikami, and beside him are three faintly burning light blue ghost fires.
Uesugi Kiyoshi is not loss-free when he uses the Baiwen card, he has to consume the "Ghost Fire" drive card.
Before activating Yingcao's demon soul, he only had two ghost fires, and after Yingcao's demon soul returned to its place, his ghost fire increased by one, that is, every time he activated the demon soul of a youkai-style god, his ghost fire limit would increase by one.
To use a Baiwen card, you have to consume a ghost fire, of course, some Baiwen cards have an entry for "instantaneous", this kind of card will not consume ghost fire.
So, under normal circumstances, Uesugi Kiyoshi can only use three Baiwen cards a day - because he has not found a way to restore the ghost fire now, and this thing will only automatically return to full after 12 o'clock at midnight every day.
The proportion of time flow in the mirage building is different from the outside world, and now the three ghost fires next to Uesugi Kiyoshi's self-portrait have been extinguished, which represents the "heart slash" he used today.
Uesugi Kiyoshi stretched out his hand without hesitation, and the "requiem light" beside Yingcao instantly appeared on his fingertips, and his mind moved, and a burst of blue light flashed on the Nohara apricot, which represented Yingcao, and she had already changed her dress, she changed from a white and green yukata to a light blue elegant yukata, and at the same time, the ghost fire next to Uesugi Kiyoshi lit up faintly.
It stands to reason that using the Requiem Light will consume one ghost fire, and the effect of the Requiem Light will increase by one ghost fire, and the total number of ghost fires should remain the same, but the number of ghost fires that Uesugi Kiyoshi has is really one more.
This is the nature of the Celestial Grass in effect - all of the Celestial Form cards will gain "Instantaneous", and when used, a used Baiwen card can be reactivated - this effect corresponds to the "Check" entry in the game.
Uesugi Kiyoshi can use Shikigami abilities through the Baiwen card, but these abilities are not his own power after all, and there are many restrictions, except for the restrictions of the ghost fire, he can only use each Baiwen card once a day.
For example, if he has used the Heart Slash today, it will be impossible to cut the Heart Slash again before 12 o'clock at midnight, unless he uses the Baiwen card with the "check" entry to draw back the Heart Slash that has been used.
Three types of Baiwen cards, ghost fire, instantaneous, check, this is the rules of use of the hundred ghost painting scroll and Baiwen card, and now a brain has been poured into Uesugi Kiyoshi's mind.
He didn't find it complicated, because in a sense, it was very similar to the card game he had played in his previous life.
After using the Requiem Light, Uesugi Kiyoshi thought for a while, and felt that there was nothing left to do about the Hyakki Picture Scroll for the time being, so he sat down cross-legged again and began the practice of meditation battle in his mind.
He fought with Yokodano today and benefited a lot, for a swordsman, this kind of life-and-death fight is the fastest way to improve his strength, and there is no one.
He now recreates the battle situation in the evening in his mind, carefully recalling, and finding out his flaws and shortcomings, a bit like correcting the wrong questions after completing the paper in his previous life, which helps him a lot to improve his strength.
...
At the same time, in Uesugi Kiyoshi's apartment, Nohara Kyoko blushed and walked out of the bathroom a little shyly in shorts and short sleeves that were still too big for her.
She is still wearing underwear and **, which is not a vacuum, but Uesugi Kiyoshi's clothes can't be worn on her body at all, and even under her collarbone, the rounded two hemispheres are directly exposed, if it is not covered by underwear, it is already considered to be gone.
Kyoko Nohara lowered her head and secretly looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi, and when she found Uesugi Kiyoshi lying on her side against the wall, her eyes closed, her breathing evenly, and she seemed to have fallen asleep, she was relieved and a little regretful.
She breathed a sigh of relief because she was in a really embarrassing state now - she didn't care about being seen by Uesugi Kiyoshi that she was wearing such a revealing outfit, but she didn't want to leave a frivolous impression on Uesugi Kiyoshi, she was a very self-loving girl.
If it weren't for the fact that she was facing Uesugi-kun, she wouldn't have come out dressed like this anyway.
It's a pity... Naturally, it's because of the careful thinking of some girls.
Kyoko Nohara is a girl with low self-esteem, and if she has anything to be proud of, it is her figure that stands out among her classmates.
Although it is a bit shameless to think so, she also wants the people she likes to see her "excellent" side.
Boys should love this... Right?
It's a pity that Uesugi Kiyoshi, who is obsessed with swordsmanship and Hyakki painting scrolls, doesn't have this kind of eye blessing.
Nohara Kyoko walked lightly to Uesugi Kiyoshi and pulled the quilt on him, she didn't dare to touch Sugi Kiyoshi for fear of waking him up.
Then, she returned to the bed Kiyoshi Uesugi had made for herself and slipped into the bed.
The quilt is very comfortable and warm, and it seems to have a fresh smell that is unique to Uesugi-kun.
She turned off the light, and Kiyoshi Uesugi's side face looked calmer in the soft moonlight, and it also exuded a more attractive charm.
She looked at it and couldn't help but feel a little stupid.
When people have something, they become more greedy.
Nohara Kyoko feels that her current self is a little insatiable.
She wanted to... If she can see this face that has made her nostalgic every day in the future, then there is nothing else to ask for in this life.
