229: First in battle, a powerful skill card master!

The Red Sand Formation card shone, and Liu Xiaofei, who was charging over, instantly entered the Red Sand Formation's coverage.

Within the Red Sand Formation, there were three dou of red sand. It looked like red sand, but it was a sharp blade when it touched the body. It knew neither heaven above, nor earth below, nor people in the middle. If an immortal rushed into this formation, the wind and thunder would move, and the flying sand would injure people.

This was the power of the Red Sand Formation.

However, everything within the formation was unclear to outsiders; they could only see Liu Xiaofei, who was charging towards Jiang Yuan, suddenly stop and remain still.

Then, Liu Xiaofei's face showed a look of horror, and a phantom of his purple defensive equipment appeared on his body.

However, it seemed as if something was attacking Liu Xiaofei, as the phantom of his purple defensive equipment was quickly... gnawed away?

Like a swarm of locusts passing through, the phantom of the purple defensive equipment gradually disappeared.

Then came Liu Xiaofei.

Watching Liu Xiaofei's body also slowly disappear as if being gnawed by locusts, the people in the audience couldn't help but gasp.

"What kind of attack is this? It's terrifying."

"A Summoning Card Card Creator, could it be some strange Card Spirit?"

"Anyway, I know a Beast Tamer Card Master from Bei Mang Academy controls various insect races. Could he be like that too? Swarms of locusts covering the sky."

"How is that possible? How could locusts have such high attack power?"

"The main thing is that this attack is invisible; we don't even know what type of attack Liu Xiaofei encountered?"

"Just wait and ask him when he comes down."

The people in the audience discussed animatedly, and although Liu Xiaofei in the Red Sand Formation tried his best to resist, he was quickly swallowed by the blade-like red sand within the Red Sand Formation.

However, because the Martial Arts Arena space basically follows the same rules as outside the space, if the death condition is met outside the space, it is also met inside the space.

The difference, however, is that if the death condition is met outside the space, one dies directly, whereas if the death condition is met inside the space, one merely exits the Martial Arts Arena space.

Liu Xiaofei was in this situation now; as half of his body was swallowed by the red sand, Liu Xiaofei also met the death condition.

The Martial Arts Arena space disappeared, Shi Ji, Nezha, and Zhao Gongming vanished, leaving only Jiang Yuan and Liu Xiaofei in the arena.

"What kind of attack was that?"

Although Liu Xiaofei had emerged from the Martial Arts Arena space, his face was still pale, and he asked Jiang Yuan with a slightly trembling voice.

It wasn't that he hadn't experienced danger, nor that he hadn't been killed in the Martial Arts Arena.

But that method of death just now left a lasting impression on him.

The red sand, like a tide, slowly devoured his body. His defensive equipment was swallowed, and his attacks were ineffective against the red sand.

He could only watch helplessly as his body continuously disappeared.

Coupled with the pain of being cut and abraded by thousands of tiny blades on his body as it disappeared, and the psychological fear.

This truly made him not want to experience it a second time.

However, was this a Skill Card used by the opponent?

It must be. If it wasn't a Skill Card used by the opponent himself, then his attack would have no effect on him.

But, didn't he himself have no attacking ability?

Liu Xiaofei looked up at Jiang Yuan, replaying the events in his mind.

Indeed, he had been careless, acting recklessly because he thought the opponent had no attacking ability. If he had shown his full strength directly and instantly taken down the opponent, he wouldn't have suffered this torment.

He clearly had such a great advantage, but he was blinded by it.

Liu Xiaofei shook his head slightly. Without waiting for Jiang Yuan's reply, he looked up at Jiang Yuan and said, "You are very strong. This time, I was careless."

After Liu Xiaofei finished speaking, he nodded at Jiang Yuan and then turned and left.

"Hey, wait, wait, wait."

Seeing Liu Xiaofei about to turn and leave, Jiang Yuan quickly called out to him.

"Didn't you just promise me that after I won against you, you'd tell me what materials you used for that card you just created?"

"Oh, right, I'm sorry."

Liu Xiaofei forced a smile on his pale face, turned his head, and said to Jiang Yuan with a slight apology.

At the same time, Yu Wenzhong, the top-ranked fourth-year student, also arrived beside them.

He knew that after Jiang Yuan's victory over Liu Xiaofei, his next target would be him.

To save time, he had come directly to the arena.

However...

Yu Wenzhong looked at the two of them with some curiosity. What were they talking about?

Yu Wenzhong was not a Card Creator like Jiang Yuan and Liu Xiaofei, so he naturally didn't understand what the two of them were talking about.

However, he had heard the general gist. Leaving other things aside, he had understood the effect of the card Liu Xiaofei had just used.

Yu Wenzhong's eyes lit up. No wonder Jiang Yuan's Card Spirit couldn't cause damage to Liu Xiaofei just now.

But it seemed that Liu Xiaofei had been careless in the end, not using his full strength to attack, which allowed Jiang Yuan to seize the opportunity and take him out.

If it were him, he definitely wouldn't make that mistake.

So...

"Ah!"

After learning about Liu Xiaofei's card-making materials, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

The main body of Liu Xiaofei's card-making material had an effect similar to cards like 'Deathmatch'.

His general idea was that no one else could cause him harm except the opponent, which was a different concept from Standing Upright Without a Shadow.

Therefore, if Jiang Yuan wanted to create the Standing Upright Without a Shadow card, he still needed to judge for himself which cards could be used.

"What a pity."

Jiang Yuan shook his head with some disappointment. Liu Xiaofei smiled a little, and just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Yu Wenzhong.

"I want to buy the card you just used, can I?"

Basically, most Card Creators would sell the cards they created, so Yu Wenzhong directly spoke to Liu Xiaofei.

"I only have one of that card, which I used myself. The second one hasn't been created yet."

However, Liu Xiaofei shook his head, indicating that he didn't have a second card in his hand.

What a joke? He almost arrived late because he made this card, so how could he possibly have a second card?

Furthermore, because he had used this card, it had his spiritual imprint on it, so others couldn't use it, and naturally, it couldn't be sold.

"Alright then."

Yu Wenzhong was a little disappointed, but he didn't care too much about it.

With this card, at most, his 95% win rate would become 100%.

Although 95% was already a very dangerous win rate for him, for others, this win rate was already very high.

As long as nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely win this battle.

Jiang Yuan looked at Yu Wenzhong with some curiosity. He wanted to buy a card that could counter him, right in front of him?

An idea, I like it.

A smile appeared on Jiang Yuan's face. Seriously speaking, he actually had the same personality as Yu Wenzhong.

Take his situation in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield, for example.

If he didn't have a foolproof plan, he wouldn't choose to act.

And his foolproof plan was Jiang Yuan No. 2.

From the moment he entered the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield and left the gathering place, it was already Jiang Yuan No. 2.

Jiang Yuan's main body had always been cultivating and creating cards in the room, always keeping himself in a safe environment.

And even without Jiang Yuan No. 2, after choosing Nezha as his first card, he immediately chose a defensive equipment card that could protect himself as his second card.

Although later, due to frequently challenging higher levels, that defensive equipment card, in Jiang Yuan's opinion, sometimes couldn't protect him.

So the Unicorn Dark Smoke Beast appeared.

And when he went to the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield, he understood that sometimes running away wasn't enough; he had to confront things head-on.

Coupled with the fact that the white-quality Linglong Pagoda was basically useless against purple-quality equipment cards and attack cards, Jiang Yuan created another Linglong Pagoda.

Everything was for his own safety.

However, Jiang Yuan had also been considering upgrading the quality of the Linglong Pagoda recently.

Leaving other things aside, the Linglong Pagoda's effect of being invincible among its peers was still very useful.

At that time, one Linglong Pagoda would be outside, and one Linglong Pagoda would be inside. Even if the opponent broke through the Linglong Pagoda's defense, there would still be the Linglong Pagoda to protect Jiang Yuan.

After the two nodded to each other, they went to the Martial Arts Arena.

After Jiang Yuan activated the Martial Arts Arena space, the two entered it together.

The battle was about to begin.

At this moment, the 3, 2, 1 countdown in the air ended, and the two instantly materialized their cards.

Jiang Yuan still used those few cards in the first round.

However, just as the Linglong Pagoda appeared, a transparent Wind Blade struck over.

"Clang!"

The Wind Blade hit the Linglong Pagoda, emitting a crisp sound.

Ripples appeared on the Linglong Pagoda's Energy barrier, and Jiang Yuan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, he had defensive cards among the first round of cards he used, otherwise, that attack just now would have been enough to take him out.

One must know that it was just the beginning, and he didn't even have his Purple Ribbon Garment on yet.

It was also fortunate that the Star Power Futon had already taken effect, otherwise, the remaining Star Power on him might not have been enough to block this attack.

Compared to others' understanding of Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yuan had almost no understanding of them.

Including Liu Xiaofei and Yu Wenzhong, all fourth-year students in the top five hundred who were in the academy had carefully studied Jiang Yuan's previous battle videos.

After all, no one could say for sure whether Jiang Yuan would directly challenge them.

They knew Jiang Yuan very well, but Jiang Yuan didn't have time to understand them.

Even if Yu Wenzhong was the top-ranked fourth-year student.

But before the battle, Jiang Yuan didn't even know what profession Yu Wenzhong was.

He really didn't have time.

During this time, he not only had to busy himself with improving the quality of his cards but also had to make time to improve his ranking on the leaderboard.

Where would he have time to pay attention to these things?

Furthermore, the time since he returned to school wasn't long, and he had just advanced to the fourth year.

Mu Qianshan was helping him find some materials and also had no time to collect this information.

So Jiang Yuan could only fight his way up in a daze.

But it was fine, whether it was Shi Ji, Nezha, or Zhao Gongming, their strength was very strong, and challenging higher levels was even easier for them.

This allowed Jiang Yuan to successfully reach his current ranking without understanding their situation.

However...

Jiang Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Yu Wenzhong, whose face showed a hint of regret.

The purple light had just flashed, and he had initially thought it was a defensive equipment skill used by the opponent, but he didn't expect it to be an attack card.

From the looks of it, is the opponent a Skill Card Master?

Jiang Yuan wasn't sure, but after Yu Wenzhong's first attack failed to have any effect, he continued to use cards.

After using his defensive equipment and Star Power recovery Skill Cards, he saw Nezha and Zhao Gongming charging towards him.

At the same time, Shi Ji also used her skills.

She didn't choose to summon her Bone Spirit Army and Undead Enslavement.

There wasn't enough time for the Bone Spirit Army, and coupled with their strength being two levels lower than the opponent, summoning them wouldn't cause any damage to the opponent.

The same applied to Undead Enslavement. Although there was the bonus from the Taia Sword, a team of Undead Enslavement would be good if they could challenge one level higher; challenging two levels higher was clearly very difficult.

So Shi Ji didn't want to waste Star Power and chose to provide support for Nezha and Zhao Gongming.

Two skills that had already been upgraded to blue quality.

"Dark Entanglement" and "Misfortune Intimidation" were used simultaneously, but as soon as the two skills touched Yu Wenzhong, they were intercepted by the white light around Yu Wenzhong's body and had no effect on him.

At the same time, blue light shone in Yu Wenzhong's hand, and Nezha, who was flying in the air and charging towards him, instantly landed.

"Gravity Field"!

"Gravity Field": Flight is prohibited in a certain area!

(Duration and effect depend on the strength of both sides and the quality of the card.)

Clearly, Yu Wenzhong's Late Stage strength against Nezha's Jiang Lou Initial Stage strength would definitely be able to prohibit flight for a good period of time.

After temporarily restricting Nezha, Yu Wenzhong's gaze fell upon Zhao Gongming.

Zhao Gongming's speed was not very fast, but the sense of oppression Zhao Gongming gave Yu Wenzhong was stronger than Nezha's.

His elegant figure and slight smile, as if Yu Wenzhong's actions just now were completely disregarded by him, made Yu Wenzhong frown slightly.

A blue card appeared in his hand, and after a moment of hesitation, the blue card disappeared and reappeared as a purple-quality card.

Purple-quality card "Flower Fragrance Bloom"!

Effect: Speed reduced, attack power reduced!

Pink pollen fluttered, and both Zhao Gongming and Nezha were affected by negative status effects.

After the purple card shone, blue light flickered again.

Four earthen walls appeared, trapping Zhao Gongming within them, and then another earthen wall appeared out of thin air in the sky.

Capping it off!

While Zhao Gongming was controlled within it, the ground beneath his feet also turned into a swamp, slowly swallowing Zhao Gongming.

Although Nezha had landed, his Wind Fire Wheels could still be used, but he couldn't fly too high, only moving close to the ground.

While the Wind Fire Wheels accelerated, the Qiankun Bow was also drawn, and the first Zhentian Arrow shot towards Yu Wenzhong.

Yu Wenzhong felt a bit tired. Dealing with Summoning Card Masters and Beast Tamer Card Masters was always a matter of being outnumbered.

Yu Wenzhong sighed, and another purple-quality card appeared in his hand.

A vortex appeared in front of him, swallowing the incoming Zhentian Arrow!
