21: Dongtian Simulation League!

Looking at the material card and weapon card in front of him, Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment before finally choosing the weapon card.

Both material cards were white quality, which was useless to him now.

After all, he was already making blue quality weapons.

White quality couldn't keep up with his development speed.

Although even if he made a blue quality weapon card for Nezha now, it probably wouldn't be very useful.

However, it was clear that for the enemies they currently faced, Nezha combined with the Fire Tipped Spear was more than enough.

After choosing the weapon card that could sell for more money, Jiang Yuan clicked the start button.

Nezha had just gotten excited and certainly wouldn't give up so easily.

...

...

“What a pity, what a great pity.”

A moment later, after Jiang Yuan emerged from the Dream Tower, he couldn't help but sigh.

Nezha's strength was indeed very strong, there was no problem with that.

But the problem was that the small bosses on the twenty-fifth floor were not only strong, but there were five of them.

Nezha had already used his full strength and didn't fall behind at all.

But Jiang Yuan couldn't.

The Linglong Pagoda, when facing Star Epoch Late Stage opponents, no longer had the 'Indestructible' characteristic.

The Linglong Pagoda's own defense only held up against the opponents for a short while before being broken.

After the Linglong Pagoda's defense was broken, Jiang Yuan was directly defeated.

In this situation, even if Nezha had already fought hard and killed two opponents, it was still not enough.

So, in the end, they failed to clear the stage.

“Mu Qianshan, being invincible at the same level isn't enough, we need to challenge higher levels!”

After materializing Nezha again, Nezha didn't complain about Jiang Yuan dragging him down. Instead, he looked at Jiang Yuan with sincere eyes and encouraged him.

Jiang Yuan scratched his head and began to ponder.

Nezha was right.

To progress faster, one naturally couldn't just focus on being invincible at the same level.

In those fantasy novels he read in his previous life, which protagonist didn't have to challenge higher levels to obtain important resources?

What was being invincible at the same level?

Those who were invincible at the same level were all defeated and killed by protagonists challenging higher levels.

Although he wasn't a protagonist, he still needed to guard against such situations.

Nezha was also right; in the myths of his previous life, there wasn't just the Linglong Pagoda as a defensive magical treasure.

There were things like the Purple Robe of Authority, the Taiji Talisman Seal, and so on.

There were also things like the Innate Five-Directional Banners.

For example, the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner was primarily for defense, and one of its characteristics was being unbreakable.

The remaining ones, like the Azure Lotus Treasure Banner, the Flame-Leaving Light Banner, the Plain Cloud Realm Banner, and the Xuan Yuan Water Control Banner, all possessed certain defensive capabilities.

Although they couldn't quite compare to the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, they could still defend oneself.

These were all good targets; he could try them first.

Not to mention blue quality cards, trying white quality cards would also work.

However, for white quality cards, he didn't know if they could be stronger than the Linglong Pagoda.

After all, the 'Indestructible' skill was considered one of the top-ranked among all white cards.

He also wondered how he was so amazing back then to be able to create this skill.

(I'm so awesome, hands on hips.jpg)

He now had two blue quality cards, and the biggest problem was his insufficient Star Power.

If he were to get another blue card, it really wouldn't be as good as the current Linglong Pagoda.

After all, if you can't use it, it's useless.

“Let's talk about it later, I don't have any inspiration.”

Jiang Yuan shook his head, feeling a headache: “It seems that if I have nothing to do these two days, I can come and open some blind boxes.”

“That works too, no rush anyway.”

After Nezha nodded, he put his hands behind his head and followed Jiang Yuan home.

...

...

The next morning, as soon as Jiang Yuan arrived in the classroom, Mu Qianshan called him over.

“The experimental results are out.”

“How is it?”

Hearing Mu Qianshan say this, Jiang Yuan also became curious.

The 'Indestructible' skill didn't specify whether purple quality cards could cause damage to it.

“Purple quality weapon cards can ignore that skill,” Mu Qianshan said with some disappointment.

“After all, it's just a white quality card.”

Seeing Mu Qianshan's expression, Jiang Yuan smiled and patted Mu Qianshan's shoulder to comfort him.

Mu Qianshan was a little exasperated: “Why are you comforting me? This is a card you made.”

“I just saw you were a bit disappointed.”

“I'm not disappointed anymore, you're right, after all, it's just a white quality card.”

Mu Qianshan looked at the smile on Jiang Yuan's face and couldn't help but smile: “Being invincible at the same level is enough. At our current level, even if our Star Power doubles, we can't draw a purple quality card.”

Mu Qianshan said, then suddenly changed the subject: “Oh right, will you be able to participate in the Dongtian Simulation League in a few days?”

“It should be fine, right.”

When Mu Qianshan mentioned this, Jiang Yuan also remembered.

If there were three steps to getting into a top-tier academy, then the first step was undoubtedly the Dongtian Simulation League.

The Dongtian Simulation League was participated in by high school Students from the entire city.

Dongtian Simulation, as the name suggests, simulated a complete Dongtian.

Inside the Dongtian were foreign races, but the foreign races in the Dongtian Simulation League differed each year. Before participating, no one knew which race the foreign races inside would be.

However, it was certain that most of the foreign races in the Dongtian were of the Xing Ji Stage.

Only a small portion of the small bosses, which required everyone to defeat together, were of the Xuanxiao Early Stage.

However, this was precisely one of the three major stages of assessment.

It not only looked at individual strength but also at teamwork.

It was similar to the school's end-of-term martial arts test, where people from top-tier academies would come to observe the performance of the Students.

The first stage was to leave an impression, the second martial arts test was to deepen the impression, and the third comprehensive test was to make a decision.

These were the three steps to joining a top-tier academy.

“Let's go.”

Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded without hesitation.

Excelling in one of the three steps could gain the favor of a top-tier academy.

But excelling in all three steps would allow for a more stable entry into a top-tier academy.

Originally, Jiang Yuan hadn't planned to participate in the Dongtian Simulation League, as his body was in that condition.

But now it was different; he had the Linglong Pagoda, Nezha, the purple flame serpent spear, and...

These cards were enough to support his combat.

This was evident in the Dream Tower.

However, Jiang Yuan decided to participate for another reason.

Since the Dongtian Simulation League simulated battles between humans and foreign races in a Dongtian, naturally, teaming up was allowed.

Nezha could be the combatant, and protection could be left to the Linglong Pagoda and his teammates.

There were still a few days until the league began.

This time would be used to find teammates.

Then, he would see if he could replace the cards on Mu Qianshan.

Although Mu Qianshan's attack cards were blue quality, even among blue quality cards, there were still differences!
