152: Shiji made great contributions! (Combined chapter, asking for monthly votes)

"It actually broke?"

"Why? It doesn't feel like it's fake."

"Is there some special reason?"

The crowd in the audience discussed why the Card Assassin was able to easily break open that golden small pagoda this time.

The golden small pagoda, which was said to have unlimited defense, was broken just like that?

It clearly shone brightly in the New Student Assessment.

But now, it only blocked two strong crossbow bolts, and it didn't even have any Skill Cards attached.

A bit disappointing.

"There must be some conditions, right?"

"I just don't know where he bought this card?"

"Three people have already used this card, so it must be for sale."

"Let's ask them after their battle ends."

"Maybe after buying it, we'll know why; it should be some special skill."

In the arena, Nezha rushed over, but his spear did not sweep He Xiaoke.

He Xiaoke re-entered stealth after attacking.

After all, as an Card Assassin, strong stealth is very important.

"Nezha, come back!"

Shi Ji's expression was serious as she called out to Nezha.

Now, not only Jiang Yuan, but even she was in danger.

She had no defensive cards in her current deck.

However, this match also made her realize her current weakness.

Linglong Pagoda was not omnipotent.

Facing opponents stronger than herself, she still needed a powerful defensive equipment card.

Not only Jiang Yuan, but she too.

However, facing this situation, Jiang Yuan's mood, instead, calmed down.

"Nezha, release Samadhi True Fire beside me!"

Nezha, stepping on his Wind Fire Wheels, quickly arrived beside Jiang Yuan.

Samadhi True Fire transformed into a pillar of flame, enveloping Jiang Yuan.

However, even so, it still couldn't block He Xiaoke's attack.

But as long as He Xiaoke rushed in, once Samadhi True Fire attached and burned, his position could be found.

At that time, they wouldn't be as passive as they were now.

Jiang Yuan pondered, what skills could see through stealth?

Yang Jian's Heavenly Eye?

A Skill Card appeared in Jiang Yuan's hand.

He couldn't put all his eggs in Nezha's Samadhi True Fire basket.

Re-Zero was still continuously attacking.

However, the explosive arrows with lightning attributes did not find He Xiaoke.

Now, they could only wait for He Xiaoke to take the initiative.

The situation became passive.

But just then, Shi Ji slowly came to Jiang Yuan's side.

"Drag it out for about three more minutes."

Shi Ji whispered softly into Jiang Yuan's ear.

"What do you mean?"

Although Jiang Yuan was a bit distracted, now was not the time to think about that.

"Hold them for three minutes, and we can turn the tide."

"Okay."

Jiang Yuan nodded; he trusted Shi Ji unconditionally.

Shi Ji smiled at Jiang Yuan, then began to summon endless Undead Bone Soldiers.

A large number of Undead Bone Soldiers surrounded Jiang Yuan and herself.

Now, they just needed to stall.

"But there's no need for such trouble."

Seeing the appearance of the Undead Bone Soldiers, Jiang Yuan also understood Shi Ji's meaning.

It was nothing more than using Undead Bone Soldiers to stall for time, preventing He Xiaoke's sudden intrusion.

"I also have a disposable Skill Card for Linglong Pagoda here."

Jiang Yuan smiled, and a white-quality Skill Card also appeared in his hand.

The white Skill Card activated, and another Linglong Pagoda appeared in the air.

After enveloping Shi Ji, another white-quality Skill Card appeared in Jiang Yuan's hand.

"As for me, I still have this."

Jiang Yuan activated the Skill Card [Earth Walking Technique], and his entire body directly drilled into the ground.

Now, only the tough bones were left on the field.

Jiang Yuan and Shi Ji, these two Summoner Card Masters, both had the ability to protect themselves.

Shi Ji smiled slightly.

The three-minute version of the disposable Skill Card Linglong Pagoda, with this, she had confidence.

Three minutes passed quickly.

He Xiaoke appeared twice.

However, the first time, he was directly scared into dodging by Nezha's thrown spear and didn't attack.

He had also seen the battle scenes of the New Student Assessment; the power of the long spear in Nezha's hand was definitely great, and he didn't dare to take it head-on.

The second time he appeared was against Shi Ji.

However, he was blocked by the Undead Enslavement and Undead Bone Soldiers covering the outside of Shi Ji's Linglong Pagoda.

There were too many; they completely surrounded Shi Ji, and he couldn't break through at all.

As for Jiang Yuan?

He couldn't find Jiang Yuan at all.

However, what he didn't know was that Jiang Yuan was currently in the ground beside Shi Ji; a slightly bulging spot on the ground was his hiding place.

Above him were Undead Shield Warriors.

They were also layered and wrapped in the middle by Undead Enslavement and Undead Bone Soldiers.

The duration of [Earth Walking Technique] was five minutes, which was enough for Jiang Yuan to hide and last for three minutes.

As soon as three minutes were up, Shi Ji in the Linglong Pagoda also revealed a beautiful smile.

[Netherlight]!

Detonate!

As Shi Ji's palm suddenly clenched, He Xiaoke's figure instantly appeared.

But the next second, the Martial Arts Arena disappeared.

He Xiaoke died directly.

"What happened?!"

"What did she do? Why did he suddenly disappear?"

Everyone saw Shi Ji's actions, but they didn't know how Shi Ji did it.

"Oh, that skill."

After the Martial Arts Arena disappeared, Jiang Yuan also appeared in the arena, completely unharmed.

With just a slight thought, Jiang Yuan knew how Shi Ji had done it.

Indeed, he had overlooked that skill.

"How did I lose?"

He Xiaoke asked Jiang Yuan with a grim expression.

"The effect of a skill."

Jiang Yuan smiled, not intending to tell him directly what skill it was or what its effect was.

This was also one of his trump cards.

The continuous absorption of Netherlight Energy could cause both a poisoning effect and a direct detonation effect.

But Shi Ji preferred to make things simpler, so she basically never used the poisoning effect; she always accumulated it to a certain extent and then directly detonated it.

This skill belonged to a type of Energy invasion, so even in stealth, it couldn't be avoided.

The range was a bit small, but it was already enough in the Martial Arts Arena.

"Do you know what skill it is?"

Tian Zhaobin turned his head and asked Hu Qingwei behind him.

"How could I possibly know?" Hu Qingwei rolled her eyes, looking displeased.

"Aren't you his friend?"

Tian Zhaobin smiled: "But this also made the Card Assassin lose his advantage against him."

Tian Zhaobin sighed slightly; although he didn't know the exact situation, he thought that this skill should be related to time.

In that case, when he fought, he just needed to hide in the Linglong Pagoda, and then when the time came, directly finish off his opponent.

"No, this kind of battle is too disgusting."

After realizing this, Tian Zhaobin also spoke with a disgusted expression.

You can't break the Linglong Pagoda, and even if you do break it, just like in the previous battle, he still has so many Undead waiting for you to kill.

How can you finish killing them all?

Furthermore, Card Assassins can hide, but they can't, and it's really uncertain whether they can defeat those Undead.

"Indeed, even for a Summoner Card Master, this many summoned creatures is a bit outrageous."

Tong Yuchang looked at Jiang Yuan in the arena and was also a little silent.

This number of summoned creatures, isn't it stronger than a Beast Tamer Card Master?

What is a human wave tactic? This is the real human wave tactic, alright.

"When encountering something like this, you can only use large-scale powerful damaging Skill Cards; the Undead Bone Soldiers she summoned later don't seem to be very strong."

Hu Qingwei ignored Tian Zhaobin's sarcastic remarks and spoke.

It was only now that her strength was greater than Jiang Yuan's; otherwise, if she went up, she might not necessarily be able to win.

"By the way, aren't you going to try?"

Tian Zhaobin looked at Tong Yuchang, raised an eyebrow, and asked.

"Why would I go up? Am I going up to get beaten?"

Tong Yuchang completely ignored Tian Zhaobin's words.

Are you kidding?

He hadn't forgotten how Jiang Yuan and Nezha took him down during the New Student Assessment.

And now, there was Shi Ji too.

The red-faced, fanged summoned creature he summoned that day hadn't even been used yet.

Later, he also realized that it might just be a Skill Card.

After all, it disappeared after releasing two skills.

But even so, directly taking out one of his beasts was terrifying.

And it seemed to be a targeted attack; if he hadn't had that damage-transfer card at the time, he, the Beast Tamer Card Master, would have been directly taken down.

Whoever wants to go, go; I'm not going, anyway.

Getting beaten again in front of everyone, do I still want my dignity?

Tian Zhaobin, seeing that Tong Yuchang wasn't going to step up, turned his head back to Jiang Yuan in the arena.

"Would it be better for a Card Master to enter the field in this situation?"

"Not to mention whether a Xuanxiao Stage Card Master can unleash their full strength, just considering if a Card Master can withstand the attacks of so many people?"

Hu Qingwei shook her head: "Undead Race Warriors from the Bone race, Undead Archers from the Art Clan, Undead Race Warriors from the Gold Clan, and also a Shield Warrior and an Amplification Card Master, plus that young man with the long spear."

Hu Qingwei glanced at Tong Yuchang: "We all saw how strong that young man with the long spear is."

"If a Card Master goes in, won't he be directly torn apart?"

"So, you're saying he's somewhat invincible?"

Tian Zhaobin frowned; this was not good news.

"Not invincible, but at the very least, to deal with him, one must be stronger than he is."

Tong Yuchang shook his head: "However, he is truly invincible among those of the same rank."

"Tsk tsk, no wonder he doesn't fight against us Star Epoch Late Stage powerhouses; he's quite smart."

Tian Zhaobin clicked his tongue twice, saying with interest.

"Crossing two minor realms, if he doesn't want to fight you, there's nothing you can do."

"Speaking of which, I'm somewhat looking forward to his performance after he goes to the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield."

Hu Qingwei said with some emotion: "Let's see if he can defeat those two above me. If he can't, I might have to set off for the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield."

"In the Xuanxiao Stage Ten Thousand Races Battlefield, our Human Race has been targeted recently."

"Hmph, mere alien races! In a couple of days, I'll go to the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield and turn them upside down!"

Tian Zhaobin, overflowing with killing intent, snorted coldly.

He was a ruthless individual who had gone to the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield for a killing spree right after breaking through to Xuan Xiao Late Stage.

"Speaking of which, are you about to break through?" Hu Qingwei looked at Tian Zhaobin with some surprise and asked.

"Mm, it won't be long until I successfully break through to the third realm."

Tian Zhaobin gave a cold smile: "That's why I need to seize this opportunity to go on a killing spree in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield."

"After all, once I break through to the third realm, Zouzi Early Stage, it won't be suitable to go to the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield."

Tian Zhaobin's aura softened, and he spoke with some helplessness.

Those who go to the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield are basically at the Middle or Late Stage of various realms.

Among them, the Late Stage are more numerous.

No one from the Early Stage of any realm goes to the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield.

No one would joke with their own life.

Entering the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield with Early Stage strength basically means being chased and hammered.

It's better to wait until the Middle and Late Stages to enter the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield and chase others instead.

"Is there anyone else who wants to continue the challenge?"

After Jiang Yuan defeated He Xiaoke, he also breathed a sigh of relief. After summoning Shi Ji, Shi Ji looked up and asked everyone.

"You're so strong, who would still challenge you?"

A senior, whose grade was unknown, laughed and shouted, and the whole arena burst into laughter.

"No more fighting, no more fighting! Challenge us after you successfully advance to the second year."

A second-year student stood up and shouted to Jiang Yuan, then turned and left the arena.

His departure prompted many others to also stand up and prepare to leave.

"Alright, it seems no one else is accepting our challenge," Shi Ji turned to Jiang Yuan and said with some helplessness.

"If no one accepts, then so be it. I wonder what rank that person was among the second-year students?"

Jiang Yuan smiled, not really caring about that point.

"Who knows? But once we enter the second year, we can automatically take his place in the rankings."

Shi Ji also smiled, then transformed back into a Card and returned to Jiang Yuan's hand.

After Jiang Yuan retrieved the Card into his consciousness space, he also went out.

However, he hadn't walked far when he was stopped by Tong Yuchang.

"Congratulations! You've certainly made a name for yourself this time," Tong Yuchang stood in front of Jiang Yuan, smiling as he spoke.

"Hehe, good luck."

"Forget luck, this is your strength, alright."

Tong Yuchang smiled and patted Jiang Yuan's shoulder: "Oh, by the way, are you going to be able to advance to the second year in two days?"

"Mm, two more days, and the one-month period will be complete."

After Jiang Yuan nodded, Tong Yuchang also smiled: "Then we'll be classmates from now on."

"I hope you don't bully me."

"You, a dignified Beast Tamer Card Master, how could I possibly bully you!" Jiang Yuan rolled his eyes.

A Xuanxiao Middle Stage Beast Tamer Card Master, indeed, he might not be able to defeat him.

"You don't even believe what you're saying."

Tong Yuchang rolled his eyes: "But you're quite lucky. To target you, I've decided to buy a Beast with a large-scale attack."

Tong Yuchang smiled happily, but Jiang Yuan found it amusing: "No, it's not that serious, is it?"

"Why not? I'm also preparing to buy a large-scale offensive Skill Card."

Hu Qingwei also came to their side and said to Jiang Yuan with a smile: "By the way, is my Card ready?"

"It'll be in these two days."

"Oh, by the way, are you selling that golden small tower Card?" Hu Qingwei nodded, then asked again.

"Of course I'm selling it."

"If you're selling it, do you want to sell it to the academy store or sell it yourself?" Tong Yuchang asked Jiang Yuan after hearing him say he was selling it.

Jiang Yuan thought for a moment: "Sell both, after all, I really need academic credits."

"You can go to the academy store yourself, and you can leave the external sales to me, how about it?"

"You can trust my connections."

Tong Yuchang looked at Jiang Yuan seriously.

Many people had already approached him to inquire about this matter.

Besides being a Beast Tamer Card Master, he was also half a jack-of-all-trades in the academy, with very wide connections.

"Alright, of course."

Tong Yuchang's connections could be trusted; Jiang Yuan knew this from the last time Tong Yuchang helped him find those rare Cards needed to make Shi Ji.

"By the way, what grade is this Card of yours?"

Tian Zhaobin also came to their side at this moment and asked Jiang Yuan.

"This is...?"

Jiang Yuan looked at Hu Qingwei and asked with some curiosity.

"Seventeenth in the second-year student rankings, Tian Zhaobin, nice to meet you."

Before Hu Qingwei could speak, Tian Zhaobin extended his hand and introduced himself.

"Oh, oh, nice to meet you."

"This Card is called Linglong Pagoda, and it should be an S-grade Card."

Jiang Yuan also quickly extended his hand, shook Tian Zhaobin's hand, and then spoke.

"Should be? Haven't you appraised it?" Tian Zhaobin was a bit curious.

"No."

Jiang Yuan shook his head. He had been very busy since entering the academy, so much so that he hadn't even had time to sell Cards, let alone appraise them.

"Alright, but this is also very easy to appraise. You can go appraise it then, and I'll buy it too."

After Tian Zhaobin gave Jiang Yuan a suggestion, he asked again: "Do you have any other Cards?"

"Yes, what type do you need?"

Jiang Yuan nodded, his eyes lighting up. It seemed this was a big client.

"Hmm... life-saving?"

Tian Zhaobin said with some uncertainty.

He wasn't sure what kind of Card he needed now.

However, since he was going to the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield soon, a life-saving Card would be quite suitable.

"I currently have two types of life-saving Cards. Which one do you need?"

"How about this, you bring out the Linglong Pagoda and those two life-saving Cards so we can take a look. If I like them, I'll buy them too."

Hu Qingwei was a bit curious. Were there really two types of life-saving Cards?

But then again, it made sense, since Jiang Yuan was a Summon Card Master.

Like Beast Tamer Card Masters, Summon Card Masters also needed strong self-preservation abilities.

"Me too! You never told me you had two other life-saving Cards!" Tong Yuchang looked at Jiang Yuan with a confused expression.

Well, why didn't you tell me about such good things earlier?

"You didn't ask, did you?"

Jiang Yuan spread his hands, looking a bit wronged.

How could this be my problem?

"Alright, alright, hurry up and show them to us."

Hu Qingwei tugged at Tong Yuchang, then said to Jiang Yuan.

"Okay, first is the first Linglong Pagoda."
