63: Chapter 62: The first day of the provincial competition is over!!

The person standing in the arena had red hair, tattered clothes, and residual blood at the corner of his mouth, looking utterly disheveled.

It was precisely Liu Jianren.

The next second, Liu Jianren could no longer hold on,

and collapsed headfirst to the ground.

"Liu Jianren wins!!"

As the surrounding electronic sounds chimed, the audience in the entire stadium instantly boiled over.

"Holy crap!! That's Butcher Bai Qi!

A second-awakening true name card, how could this lose?"

"Is Liu Jianren's Red Flood Dragon that fierce?

It feels even stronger than the Qin Family's Black Flood Dragon!!"

"What skills are those two giant swords? I've never seen them before! Is this fucking a commoner?!"

But aside from these exclamation-prone people, there were still those who knew their stuff.

"This Butcher Bai Qi lost because of the Card Maker.

If this kid named Bai Yu could have stronger mental strength and better control over his exclusive talent,

and brought out even one-tenth of Butcher Bai Qi's strength, he would have won long ago."

An unshaven uncle wearing a purple robe with a white collar underneath said while drinking.

Li Tiance, who had been staring at Liu Jianren, turned his head, and upon seeing the person, quickly bowed in salute:

"Teacher Yuan! I was just watching too intently, apologies."

This Teacher Yuan waved his hand and replied:

"Young Master Tiance is too polite, Yuan Tiangang is merely a guest minister."

Li Tiance, however, raised his head and said sonorously:

"Teacher Yuan's grace of enlightenment and teaching is something Tiance will engrave in his heart forever."

Yuan Tiangang patted Li Tiance's shoulder and said:

"You children of big clans are really..."

He stopped mid-sentence, his gaze softening a bit as he said:

"Kid Tiance, don't string yourself too tight. Even a bowstring will snap if it's too tight, let alone a person?"

Saying this, Yuan Tiangang suddenly waved towards Sun Po's direction and shouted:

"Kid coming out from the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, come over and sit!"

Sun Po was completely baffled. He looked left and right, seeing no one else,

and doubtfully pointed at himself with his hand.

Yuan Tiangang smiled and said:

"It's you. Old Uncle Gao already told me,

since a distinguished guest of the Jiuli Chi Family has visited, how can we not treat him well?"

Li Tiance gazed ardently at Sun Po and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a familiar, booming electronic voice:

"The match is about to start. Student Li Tiance, Student Liu Shengsheng, please enter the Duel Secret Realm within three minutes!!"

Li Tiance raised his hand, cupped his fists, and said:

"I will go participate in the Duel Secret Realm first, and we can chat after the match."

Having said that, he turned and entered the secret realm. Entering together with him was that energetic girl carrying a coffin.

Yuan Tiangang took the initiative to sit over, throwing an arm around his shoulder as he said:

"Kid, which lineage of the Chi Family are you from? Who knows, I might have dealt with your elders before."

Sun Po replied in a deep voice:

"You've recognized the wrong person. I am a commoner Card Maker."

Yuan Tiangang laughed heartily and said:

"Ah, the rules of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains! I understand!

We are all commoners, all commoners. How is your clan's Law Enforcement Hall Master doing?"

Sun Po was speechless and directly stopped replying.

Yuan Tiangang wasn't angry at Sun Po's silence and was about to say something,

when his gaze suddenly froze, followed by a furious shout:

"Li Taibai!! You little brat!! Stop right there!

Eight demerits!! Three of which were major disciplinary actions!!

You're about to get my bonus for this month completely deducted!!"

As he spoke, Sun Po felt a fierce wind brushing his face, and a purple figure flashed past his eyes.

The next second, Yuan Tiangang flashed again,

and a drunken, collapsed young man appeared in his hands. Who else could it be if not Li Taibai?

Yuan Tiangang dropped this line:

"Say hello to your clan's Law Enforcement Hall Master for me!"

Having said that, he dragged the mud-like Li Taibai away as if flying.

Behind them, Du Zimei still wore that wry expression as he said:

"See you later, Student Sun Po. I'm going to go help my friend say a few bad... Ah, no, right, say a few good words."

Having said that, he also quickly followed.

Hearing these familiar names and watching this outrageous scene,

Sun Po truly felt that this world was insane.

In the secret realm, Li Tiance and Liu Shengsheng were already in position.

Liu Shengsheng seemed to be a direct descendant of a major lineage from the Xiangxi Liu Family specializing in corpse refining.

Although this family was not among the Five Surnames and Seven Clans,

it was also a quite prestigious family within the circle of aristocratic families,

somewhat similar to the status of the Xu Family in the circle.

Liu Shengsheng's combat style was very eccentric. She didn't summon cards at the start,

but instead directly placed the coffin on her back onto the ground, opened the coffin lid, and lay inside?

Sun Po had thought it extraordinary when he saw this young girl carrying a large coffin earlier.

Sure enough,

lying flat in a coffin right at the start? What kind of move was this?

But very soon, the secret realm provided the answer.

The coffin seemed to be connected to another world,

as it continuously spewed out hopping zombies wearing official hats with peacock feathers.

The university students watching also felt immensely novel.

"I've seen zombie cards from the Xiangxi Liu Family. Although they consume less spirituality compared to cards of the same quality,

generally three to five of them would be the limit, right? This little girl has already brought out over a dozen? And they're still popping out?"

"It's probably due to the coffin on her back. This lass has some tricks up her sleeve; these zombies are all of blue quality."

"Holy crap! The big one is coming!"

Only to see the coffin suddenly vibrate violently, and immediately, a cyan-black hand claw the size of a table stretched out from the coffin.

"Scratch-rattle"

The harsh sound of wood scratching was clearly audible, and subsequently,

a huge cyan-black zombie squeezed out of that black wood coffin.

It had a ferocious expression, wore a tattered yellow python robe, and the hat on its head was also more exquisite than those of the other zombies.

The audience was truly shocked this time.

"No wait, is this still a Card Maker? Is this still a Gaokao?"

"When my buddy took the Gaokao back then, his card quality was at most blue."

"You're saying she can pull out dozens of blue cards? She can even pull out a purple card?"

"If the opponent weren't Li Tiance, I'd feel like surrendering."

"It's probably an exclusive talent as well. This year's Gaokao candidates are truly incredible!

But it's fine, I bet the Second Young Master will resolve this using a single card plus Xuanwu Gate."

"I bet two cards! Without using Xuanwu Gate."

"I bet three cards! Without using Xuanwu Gate."

At this moment, Sun Po also felt greatly astonished.

What is this? A unit-spawning build in the card world?

The originally spacious secret realm was already swarming with nearly a hundred zombies. No wonder it was difficult for commoners to stand out.

Thinking about how most commoner high school seniors were still stuck at the stage of only being able to summon a single Warrior or wronged scholar,

and coming onto the stage to see the opponent summon dozens of blue cards,

and even a purple card, that would truly feel like the sky falling.

But Li Tiance still maintained that heroic, noble, and calm demeanor.

He only gently raised his left arm, and immediately—

"Screeech!!"

A large golden bird materialized out of thin air, lightly spreading its wings in the sky, and transformed into a golden-feathered precious carved bow that fell into Li Tiance's hand.

Li Tiance's right hand gently rested on the bowstring, and a brilliant golden divine arrow condensed out of thin air.

Even though the densely packed zombies were about to submerge Li Tiance,

Li Tiance still expressionlessly drew the bow, nocked the arrow, and aimed at that coffin.

Right as that huge zombie was about to strike Li Tiance with its claw,

Li Tiance's hand had already pulled the bow and arrow to its full extent.

Suddenly, something poked out from the coffin.

It was a tiny white flag waving gently. At the same time, the zombies all leaped back into the coffin one after another.

After most of the zombies had jumped back in, Liu Shengsheng poked her head out of the coffin, crying aggrievedly:

"I surrender! You can even shoot my coffin hidden in the corpse realm, how is this even playable!?"

Hearing this, Li Tiance also smiled and nodded, saying:

"Your luck was a bit poor, but your strength is good. If you have the chance, you can come sit at Prince Qins Mansion."

Then the bow and arrow dissipated into thin air, and Li Tiance walked straight out of the secret realm.

Along with a shout of "Li Tiance wins!!"

the first day's matches of the provincial competition also completely came to an end.

Because Liu Jianren was sent to the infirmary, only Sun Po returned to the dormitory alone today.

Just as he walked to the exit of the spectator area, he saw Li Tiance walking towards him.

Sun Po originally wanted to avoid him; he wasn't any member of the Jiuli Chi Family.

But a single sentence from Li Tiance made Sun Po stop in his tracks:

"That secret realm core back then should have been obtained by you, right?"
