32: Chapter 32 Liu Jianren pulls off a stunning upset!! Mind control type card!!

The appearance of the [Red Flood Dragon] deeply shocked the entire venue, leaving it in complete silence.

Liu Jianren stepped forward and looked at his opponent with a chuckle.

His opponent, Liu Li, was a delicate young lady who gave off the impression of a demure and refined beauty.

Her card was a frail and weak [Rabbit Maiden], with a quality of only [Green Four-Star].

The [Rabbit Maiden] was draped in lightweight gauze, and her face was also covered by a thin veil.

She looked somewhat hazy and beautiful, appearing even more pleasing to the eye when standing together with her master.

Liu Jianren was a talkative person and casually quipped:

"Little sister, we share the same surname! In that case, I will let the [Red Flood Dragon] go easy on you."

However, Liu Li on the opposite side smiled sweetly and said:

"Thank you, Big Brother Liu!"

This sweetness almost melted Liu Jianren's teeth. He immediately grinned from ear to ear, smiling broadly, and wanted to banter a bit more.

But then he saw the opposite [Rabbit Maiden] suddenly step forward and start dancing.

With her slender figure and graceful dance moves, it was a pleasing sight to behold.

Liu Jianren suddenly felt that something was amiss, but it was already too late.

His gaze grew increasingly vacant, and his body involuntarily walked toward the [Rabbit Maiden], drooling as he walked.

A surprised and joyful smile appeared on Liu Li's face. She hadn't expected that this [Rabbit Maiden] of hers could even help her defeat a purple card.

This [Rabbit Maiden] card sequence was bought by her father at a heavy price from a declining minor family.

It was a rare mental control type card.

Her family was in business and had some money, but her own talent was mediocre.

It just so happened that her father traveled widely for business and had a broad network of acquaintances.

In the western desert of the Yanhuang Ancient Country, he discovered a declining minor family and this card sequence.

When she learned about this card, she begged her father to make a substantial donation to that family.

They repaired the ancestral hall, bought shops, and provided business cooperation.

In the end, Liu Li obtained this card.

Liu Li knew deeply that as a commoner Card Maker, if she wanted to achieve results in the Gaokao, she had to think of some tricks.

She knew that most opponents during the Gaokao were the official "Imperial Trio", and among these three types of cards,

only the [Wrongfully Deceased Scholar] had slightly stronger mental resistance.

However, the manufacturing cost of the [Wrongfully Deceased Scholar] was the highest, and the probability of encountering it during the Gaokao was much lower than the first two.

Therefore, this [Rabbit Maiden] could be said to possess a massive advantage.

Things turned out just as Liu Li had expected.

This [Rabbit Maiden], with average direct combat power, successfully helped her win first place in the Fourth High School and advance to the municipal tournament.

She originally thought it would end here, since her opponent was a purple card!

But she never expected that the opposing Card Maker would be outrageously terrible.

He allowed her to cast the control card's skill first and even controlled the Card Maker himself.

If it were some lower-quality cards,

their intelligence was often not very high. Without the command of a Card Maker,

it would be difficult to effectively release skills, and their combat power would also be greatly reduced.

Only when Card Makers communicated more and trained frequently with their own cards on ordinary days

could they understand each other and cooperate seamlessly on the battlefield.

At the same time, during this process, the intelligence of the cards would also grow to a certain extent.

But Liu Jianren was obviously lazy in this aspect.

Coupled with the fact that although the [Red Flood Dragon] was also a rare purple card, its intelligence fell far short of [Changyou].

After coming out, it merely let out a roar, and seeing no command from its master,

it actually curled up and closed its eyes to sleep.

The [Rabbit Maiden] didn't approach the [Red Flood Dragon] at all; she just danced around Liu Jianren.

Liu Jianren was completely lost, smiling foolishly as he stepped closer and closer to the [Rabbit Maiden].

Finally, the [Red Flood Dragon] lying on the ground exhausted Liu Jianren's spirituality,

transforming back into a card and flying back into his mind.

Under the impact to his spiritual space, Liu Jianren finally woke up.

But by this time the match had long ended, and a curved short blade was held against his neck.

Liu Li still wore a smile on her face and said:

"You flatter me, Big Brother Liu."

The host's announcement resounded through the venue:

"Liu Li, the number one seed of the Municipal Fourth High School, wins!!"

...

Meanwhile, inside the luxury private box at the top of the venue,

the three individuals from the First High School stood behind their respective parents, quietly watching downstairs.

Behind the head of the Lu Family, which was the man with the leopard-like head and tiger-like eyes,

his child looked as if he had been carved out of the same mold as him—

equally tall and robust, with the same leopard head and tiger eyes.

Behind the head of the Hu Family on the other side,

the girl did not look enchanting everywhere like her mother;

instead, she had a sense of purity and delicacy.

Lu Shan, a scion of the Lu Family, revealed a look of disdain in his eyes:

"Commoners are just commoners. Even if they encounter some fortuitous opportunities, they cannot grasp them."

Hu Xue, a scion of the Hu Family, softly said instead:

"I am actually rather interested in this Liu Jianren."

The father and daughter of the Xu Family in the middle, however, showed no particular reaction.

But Xu Xiu's eyes remained firmly locked onto Sun Po.

...

After the match ended, Liu Jianren walked off the stage in low spirits.

Sun Po didn't say much.

The two simply walked side by side, silently walking out of the venue.

Only now did Sun Po fully understand how important Yang Xinyue's special training had been back then.

As a commoner Card Maker, besides lacking resources and having low combat power,

compared to the aristocratic clans guarding secret realms for generations, their combat awareness and experience were also far inferior.

Although this failure was certainly caused by Liu Jianren underestimating the enemy and capsizing in the gutter,

fundamentally, it was because Liu Jianren lacked combat awareness and the realization that this was a battlefield.

On the first day of Yang Xinyue's special training,

it was premised entirely on a battlefield setting.

She trained Sun Po to summon cards while under attack from opponents far stronger than himself, quickly entering a combat state.

Even when Sun Po got cut on the first day because he didn't know how to hold a sword, and was covered in bruises from rolling to dodge, she didn't show the slightest bit of softness.

At the same time, on the very first day, Yang Xinyue was even able to help [Yang Wulang] block an attack shot at his back from under the hands of [Changyou].

This made Sun Po deeply understand that he still had many shortcomings.

In the future, he must greatly strengthen his survival capabilities and must never hold his cards back.

Moreover, he also needed to strengthen communication with [Changyou].

Although comparing [Changyou]'s intelligence to the [Red Flood Dragon]'s was truly an insult to monkeys,

he could not slack off because of this, especially regarding the issue of mental resistance.

Liu Jianren's failure served as a harsh warning bell for Sun Po.

...

Just as the two were walking, they suddenly felt a piercing killing intent ahead.

Yang Xinyue's face was flushed with anger at the moment, her chest heaving as she strode forward.

Liu Jianren was so frightened that he frantically winked at Sun Po.

Sun Po just started to speak:

"Sister Xinyue, there is still the loser's bracket. Jianren will definitely..."

Before he could finish, Yang Xinyue directly interrupted him:

"None of your business, go home and stay there!"

Sun Po didn't hesitate in the slightest, crisply responding:

"Alrighty~"

Afterwards, he left behind a look of praying for your own blessings and strode away without turning his head back.

Before walking many steps, he could already faintly hear Liu Jianren's miserable screams.

Sun Po couldn't help but shiver, accelerating his pace a bit more.

...

Over the next few days,

Sun Po boredly continued to sweep across the arena,

while also collecting items aimed at improving mental resistance.

But it seemed that only within official circles were such things available.

As for other heavenly treasures and natural resources with better effects,

they all appeared at the auctions of aristocratic families.

Sun Po couldn't touch either of these two channels for the time being, so he could only be mindful on his own.

Fortunately, [Changyou] itself possessed a skill called [Golden Eyes Exorcising Evil],

which could break illusions, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

In addition, Sun Po also ran into that girl named Liu Li.

From Liu Jianren, Sun Po saw what it meant by talking too much leads to death, so he didn't say an extra word after taking the stage.

Moreover, [Changyou] was even more anxious than him. Over the past few days, every time Sun Po went into [Tianhe Budu],

[Changyou] would be conducting experiments in the [Ruins of the Tianhe Water Mansion] at the bottom of the river.

Every time Sun Po entered battle, a flash of white light would streak by from [Changyou], and then it would return to [Tianhe Budu].

As soon as that [Rabbit Maiden] was summoned, before the opponent could even see clearly, her head and heart were already gone.

Within a few days, Sun Po was also called by people,

the extremely evil Card Maker who "wants to tear your heart and lungs out upon meeting, leaving you completely baffled".

Evil or not, Sun Po finally completed the boring task of clearing out the small fries.

And his opponent tomorrow is

Lu Shan from the Lu Family!!
