64: Chapter 63 [Guan Yu] VS [Gao Wen]!

[ secret realm core ]!!

When hearing Li Tiance ask this question, Sun Po's heart shook violently!

His [ field card ] had always been regarded by him as his biggest trump card,

except for Yang Xinyue, no one else had known about this matter.

In other words, it should be impossible for Li Tiance to deduce through [ Tianhe Budu ] that Sun Po had obtained the [ secret realm core ].

Then, how did he know that Sun Po had obtained this [ secret realm core ]?

Numerous guesses instantly emerged in Sun Po's heart.

Memories related to the [ Wujiang Secret Realm ] surged into his mind again.

That red and black river water, those densely packed underworld soldiers,

that frantic one, making people take just one glance,

and the giant nine-pupiled eye that caused extreme inner discomfort.

The [ Double-Pupil Warrior ] that sent him and [ Changyou ] out of the secret realm,

as well as that lonely grave in [ Tianhe Budu ].

Not knowing what the situation of the [ Double-Pupil Warrior ] actually was,

its spiritual connection with him had never been cut, but it had always been very weak, until recently, when it seemed to have strengthened a bit.

...

Li Tiance continued:

"I have watched your match recording; it is a [ field card ] carrying the water element, and I will not mistake it."

Hearing this, Sun Po sighed inwardly:

"I still underestimated the heroes of the world. Thinking that I was already submerged in the water at that time,

and the action of releasing [ Tianhe Budu ] was hidden enough,

I didn't expect that someone would still notice the clues."

But Li Tiance, a successor of the [ Five Surnames and Seven Clans ],

went out of his way to block him just to say I saw through you?

This was simply too outrageous.

So Sun Po asked back:

"So what do you mean?"

Li Tiance did not say much more; instead, he took out a letter stamped with his private seal, handed it to Sun Po, and said:

"Tiance harbors no malicious intent; I simply have some matters to discuss with Brother Po.

What is known and said is all inside. Please, Brother Po, do not make a fuss about the contents herein."

Having said that, he left the letter behind and turned to leave.

...

Upon returning to his empty dormitory, Sun Po finally opened the envelope and began to read it carefully.

"As you see these words, Brother Po, I believe you also saw the rampant [ fish-ization disease ] above the [ Grand Canal ] when you arrived.

This matter seems to be merely an ailment of [ Jinyang City ] outside the secret realm, but in reality, it has already spread within the secret realm. Tiance..."

After reading the whole thing, Sun Po more or less understood Li Tiance's thoughts.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and a trace of strange light flashed in his eyes.

As expected of an otherworldly version of Li Erfeng.

What a Li Tiance!!

What a successor of a top family!

...

The next day, the sky was clear and boundless.

He hadn't heard those noisy whispers at all throughout the entire night, so he slept quite well.

Today was the last day of the top twelve to top six matches, with a full three matches and no one getting a bye.

However, the atmosphere of the entire arena was much gloomier, appearing less lively than the previous days, and even fewer students came.

Li Tiance did not appear in the arena today; even [ Bai Yu ] and [ Liu Shengsheng ], who had already been defeated, had left.

As for Sun Po, he had already finished participating in the top twelve to top six yesterday and had just gotten a bye, so today he was still in spectator mode.

The quality of today's matches was clearly a gap compared to yesterday.

Although [ Xu Xiu ]'s opponent was also a descendant of a prominent family,

he only had the level of an ordinary purple card and lacked any exclusive talent, so he was quickly defeated, and [ Xu Xiu ] successfully advanced to the Top 6.

The other match was even more of a peck between newbies; neither side had any exclusive talent, with one side using an ordinary blue card and the other using an ordinary purple card.

In the end, the ordinary purple card player advanced to the Top 6.

By the third match, it was the most exciting match of the day.

"The match is about to begin. Classmate [ Guan Zhen ] and Classmate [ Don Quixote ], please enter the [ Duel Secret Realm ] within three minutes!!"

Sun Po found this listening experience completely immersion-breaking.

Goodness! The [ Don Quixote ] of this world was not that old man riding a thin horse and holding a broken spear charging at windmills,

but instead turned into such a sunny and handsome young knight?

He even came to the [ Yanhuang Ancient Country ] to take the [ Gaokao ] and fought his way into the provincial competition?

But when his opponent entered the secret realm and summoned cards, that was truly heavyweight.

" [ Guan Yu ]!! Appear!!"

" [ Gawain ]!! Appear!!"

Who was [ Guan Yu ]?

The Martial Saint who shook China, the incarnation of loyalty and righteousness, commonly known as Lord Guan; his fame truly needed no elaboration.

Basically, there were no commoners who didn't know [ Guan Yu ].

But domestically people were familiar with [ Guan Yu ], yet they didn't understand Gawain very well.

[ Gawain ] — one of the famous Twelve Knights of the Round Table.

Legend has it that he was King Arthur's nephew, praised as the most perfect knight and the Sun Knight.

He had a handsome appearance and was known for his wisdom and loyalty.

When Sun Po saw the name [ Gawain ], he inexplicably felt that [ Guan Yu ] had already won.

Because Sun Po knew that the invincible Gawain would always fall,

but Lord Guan's broadsword in his hand didn't spare anyone except the elderly and children.

...

In the secret realm,

[ Guan Yu ] stood eight chi tall, with a red face, a long beard, and a face full of heroic spirit.

Wearing a green robe over armor and holding a [ green dragon crescent blade ] in hand, he looked extremely majestic.

[ Gawain ] was similarly tall in stature.

He had a handsome, fair face, golden hair, and blue eyes, resembling a descendant of the Sun God descending to the mortal world.

He wore gorgeous full-body armor and carried a golden broadsword in his hand, with an exceptional appearance.

One was the loyal and righteous Martial Saint, and the other was the perfect knight;

the two seemed to cross time and space to appear in this arena for a peak showdown.

As for their masters, [ Guan Zhen ] and [ Don Quixote ] had both retreated to the rear, and their complexions were somewhat unsightly.

After a tense standoff, [ Gawain ] moved first, and raging flames lit up on the golden broadsword in his hand.

Immediately, a huge flame slash quickly attacked towards [ Guan Yu ].

Meanwhile, [ Guan Yu ] only narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hazy cyan light lit up on the [ green dragon crescent blade ].

...

At this moment, the moods of the two [ Card Maker ]s were not very good.

When [ Don Quixote ] learned that the match venue was inside a secret realm, he felt a bit regretful.

[ Gawain ] being called the Sun Knight was not without reason.

Under sunlight, [ Gawain ]'s strength would receive a massive boost, and at noon when the sunlight was strongest, his enhanced power could even reach three times.

In this gray secret realm, it was obviously hard to see the sun.

Therefore, [ Don Quixote ] wanted [ Gawain ] to strike first and gain the upper hand.

But what he didn't know was that opposite him, [ Guan Zhen ]'s flushed face was also full of regret.

Although [ Guan Yu ] could not enhance his attributes under the sun or moon,

[ Guan Yu ]'s broadsword was named the [ green dragon crescent blade ].

This [ green dragon crescent blade ] could execute two sword/blade techniques: the "Green Dragon" under normal conditions and the "Crescent Moon" under special conditions.

The power of "Crescent Moon" far surpassed that of "Green Dragon", but "Crescent Moon" required the moonlight to be revealed before it could be used.

The stronger the moonlight, the stronger the power of "Crescent Moon".

Both cards could enhance themselves through special celestial timing, which could be considered a rare coincidence.

At this time, [ Guan Zhen ] and [ Don Quixote ] both felt regretful that their [ card ]s did not reach their optimal states,

little knowing that this [ Duel Secret Realm ] without complete sun and moon just happened to knock the two of them back to the same starting line.

In the battlefield, just as the flame slash was about to hit Guan Yu,

Guan Yu suddenly swung the [ green dragon crescent blade ] upwards, and the cyan light on the blade directly shattered the huge flame slash, while the cyan light also dissipated in the air.

Sun Po also saw it.

Both of these cards were once-awakened [ true name card ]s,

and both were in an environment unfavorable to themselves.

Judging from the current situation, the final key would probably still be the duel between the [ Card Maker ]s.
