263: Purple card [72 cute heads]

Chapter 255: Purple Card [Seventy-Two Transformations - Cute Head]

"Wait, I think I know that person."

"Hm?"

Jiang Yuan turned his head to look at Mu Qianshan beside him, a little surprised.

"That seems to be someone from our academy."

Mu Qianshan looked at the Student being besieged in front of him, thought for a moment, then spoke.

"Someone from our academy?"

Jiang Yuan turned his head to look at the Student being besieged not far ahead, wondering what he was thinking.

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, he should be the thirty-second ranked Student in the fifth-year leaderboard."

"I just don't know why he's alone. Have his teammates all been eliminated?"

"His strength is quite strong."

After Mu Qianshan finished speaking, Jiang Yuan on the side also shook his head helplessly.

"It's a pity our strength is too weak right now; we can't save him at all."

Among those besieging the person from their academy, four were of Late Stage strength, and one was of Daliang strength.

With Jiang Yuan and their current abilities, there was no way to save him.

"So, we just watch?"

Mu Qianshan stroked his chin, looking at the battle not far away.

After all, it was someone from their own academy.

However, it really seemed like there was nothing they could do.

"He can't hold on."

Jiang Yuan shook his head helplessly. If they had arrived earlier, they might have been able to think of a solution, like using a Formation Card to restrict them.

After all, it was someone from their own academy.

If they hadn't recognized him, it would have been one thing, but now that they did, they would definitely help if they could.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yuan and his group didn't have that ability.

Two days passed, and a new safe zone appeared again. This time, the circle was even smaller, forcing them to move their position.

However, what Jiang Yuan and his group didn't expect was that they had only moved less than two thousand meters when they saw this scene.

"There's basically nothing we can do."

Watching the person from their academy fight to the death, taking down one opponent as they were both eliminated, Jiang Yuan again spoke helplessly.

But it was fortunate that those few people left immediately after eliminating their opponent; otherwise, it would have been difficult for Jiang Yuan and his group to leave.

"Our strength is still a bit strained for the Four School Joint Examination."

After those people left, Jiang Yuan emerged from the room where he had been hiding and spoke helplessly to Mu Qianshan.

"Now, whenever we encounter an opponent, they are always a major realm stronger than us; there's no way to fight."

"Then what can we do? We can't just eliminate ourselves by suicide."

Mu Qianshan also spread his hands helplessly: "Let's do our best; we'll go as far as we can."

"If only it wasn't a team competition."

Nezha was a bit unhappy. If there were no team competition, then with Zhao Gongming, Shi Ji, and Jiang Yuan, he might be able to fight against some weaker Late Stage opponents.

Even if they encountered powerful Late Stage opponents, they could still escape using various abilities.

But now that teaming was allowed, they would encounter five, six, seven, or eight Daliang or Late Stage opponents at once.

How were they supposed to play this?

Nezha also felt powerless for the first time.

To be honest, this feeling was really not good.

"There are no 'ifs.' Our current strength is not weak; we just can't defeat people of higher strength."

Zhao Gongming's face also lost its usual gentle smile; at this moment, he spoke with a serious expression.

"It's not impossible to defeat the strong with the weak, as long as we find the opportunity and the right method."

"Right, just like those Late Stage people we eliminated before."

Shi Ji also smiled and said: "My attack ability might not be great, but I can guarantee control."

Shi Ji smiled brightly, which caused everyone's flustered hearts to calm down involuntarily.

"Even against a Late Stage opponent, instantaneous control is achievable."

"Shi Ji is right; the attacking aspect is up to you guys."

Hearing Zhao Gongming and Shi Ji say this, Jiang Yuan also smiled and patted Nezha's shoulder.

"I don't mean to be discouraged or afraid; I'm just thinking, if only I could be stronger."

Nezha was a bit dejected, lowering his head, not daring to look at Jiang Yuan.

After all, he had once boasted that he would definitely be able to protect Jiang Yuan.

But now, Jiang Yuan was leading him in this hiding and sneaking manner, which he really disliked.

"Lingzhu Reincarnation is already being worked on to trigger; trust me, okay?"

Jiang Yuan placed his hand on Nezha's head, speaking with a gentle smile.

Nezha looked up, saw Jiang Yuan's appearance, paused for a moment, then nodded forcefully.

"I trust Mu Qianshan!"

Seeing Nezha's face once again show that reckless smile he once had, Jiang Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was indeed necessary to find a way to unlock the [Lingzhu Reincarnation] enhancement.

However, there was only a name, no other hints at all, no clue whatsoever!

Jiang Yuan was a bit frustrated, but he quickly realized that this was not the time to think about it.

He needed to find a way to get into the top two hundred first.

"Come on, let's first figure out how to enter the next safe zone."

As Jiang Yuan spoke, he opened the map and began to analyze it.

"We are currently in the south of this Ruined City, and the safe zone is in the north, which means we need to pass through this city first."

As Jiang Yuan spoke, he couldn't help but get a headache.

City areas like this were the easiest places for those cunning old players to hide.

"We can choose to go around the city. Outside the city is a grassland; if we're fast enough..."

Mu Qianshan stopped halfway through his sentence, closing his mouth involuntarily.

Fast enough?

How could they be faster than Late Stage opponents?

Even with the Unicorn Dark Smoke Beast, it wouldn't work.

Others weren't without mounts.

There were also mounts faster than the Unicorn Dark Smoke Beast.

"If we go around the city, we'll have to make a detour. It's better to go through the city."

As Jiang Yuan spoke, he also began to ponder how to pass through this dangerous area within the city.

"If we use Earth Walking Technique, would that work?"

Zhao Gongming looked at the map, gesturing on it with his hand.

"The Earth Walking Technique only lasts for three minutes..."

As Jiang Yuan spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up: "That's right, although the Earth Walking Technique only lasts for three minutes, there are abandoned buildings in the city for cover. We just need to enter a building when the time is almost up, then wait for the cooldown to pass and repeat the process."

"Yes, that's it."

Zhao Gongming smiled slightly and retreated behind the others.

"The city problem is solved, but what about outside the city?"

Mu Qianshan pointed to the plain north of the Ruined City on the map and asked Jiang Yuan.

"As for the plain..."

Jiang Yuan looked at the plain on the map, which was roughly the size of two Ruined Cities, and fell silent.

Being weak was the downside here. If this assessment didn't have Daliang strength Students, he could totally lead Nezha and Zhao Gongming to charge straight through and walk across the plain openly.

"As for Earth Walking Technique, appearing suddenly on the plain would make us too big a target, and there should be many battles on the plain."

Jiang Yuan stroked his chin: "In that case, how about using False Shape?"

"False Shape?"

Mu Qianshan looked at Jiang Yuan strangely, then suddenly realized.

False Shape could indeed work!

The one-time [Seventy-Two Transformations - False Form] sold did not have transformation ability, only substitution ability.

But the ones they had themselves possessed transformation ability.

Directly transforming, although full of flaws, could probably be seen through with a simple detection skill.

But what if they just didn't let anyone see them?

"So, we're going to transform into Lyre Beasts?"

Lyre Beasts were a type of beast with burrowing skills, capable of traversing grasslands.

"The creatures produced by False Shape only have the outer appearance and basic abilities."

Jiang Yuan spoke helplessly: "The Lyre Beast's burrowing is already a talent skill; the False Shape transformation simply can't use it."

Although [Seventy-Two Transformations - False Form] had also been upgraded to purple quality by Jiang Yuan, it still couldn't use the abilities and skills of the transformed creature.

"However, we can transform into birds and fly over. As long as we fly high enough, we won't be seen."

As Jiang Yuan spoke, three purple quality Skill Cards appeared in his hand.

"We can also combine them with the Wind Control and Shifting Scenery Skill Cards."

[Seventy-Two Transformations - Wind Control]: Ride the wind, speed increased.

[Seventy-Two Transformations - Shifting Scenery]: Change the appearance of the surrounding environment.

"After transforming into birds, using Wind Control can increase speed. If we see people, we use Shifting Scenery to hide our figures, and then we can pass through this plain."

[Shifting Scenery] could completely achieve this. After using it, the scenery below them would appear exactly the same as the surroundings.

Not to mention that no one would pay attention to the scenery in the sky, even if someone did, most people wouldn't care in this situation.

The reason for using this was entirely because, in this battle space, apart from humans, there were no other creatures whatsoever.

Including small birds.

"Okay, let's get going."

Mu Qianshan nodded, glancing at the map: "The poison circle is coming soon."

"Alright."

As Jiang Yuan spoke, a purple quality Skill Card appeared in his hand.

It was precisely [Earth Walking Technique]!

The blue quality [Earth Walking Technique] lasted for one minute, while the purple quality [Earth Walking Technique] lasted for three minutes.

"Depart!"

As the five of them spoke, they simultaneously released their Skill Cards.

With five purple lights flashing, Jiang Yuan and the others' figures also disappeared.

"Earth Walking Technique is indeed a good Skill Card."

Guan Chutian looked at Jiang Yuan and his group on the screen and nodded involuntarily.

Although she had seen higher quality Skill Cards that could dive underground, it was undeniable that Jiang Yuan's Skill Card was indeed very effective.

And this seemed to be part of a series.

If judged by the name Seventy-Two Transformations, this series should have seventy-two Skill Cards with different effects.

"But how will they cross the plain? I didn't quite understand. Are they using another special Skill Card?"

As Guan Chutian spoke, she looked at Li Yueying, but Li Yueying didn't give her a good look at all.

"Just wait and see, won't you know?"

"Indeed."

Guan Chutian smiled, completely disregarding Li Yueying's tone, and turned to look at the screen on the other side.

On the screen was Wang Mingzhi, the seventh-ranked Student from their academy.

And the place where Wang Mingzhi was located was precisely the edge of the Ruined City.

This meant that if Jiang Yuan proceeded according to their plan, he would inevitably encounter Wang Mingzhi.

If Wang Mingzhi didn't leave that place.

"Turning into a small bird also requires a place, you know."

Guan Chutian murmured, smiling as she glanced at Jiang Yuan and his group on the screen.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan and his group had reached the end of the [Earth Walking Technique]'s duration and had emerged from underground.

They emerged inside an abandoned building.

It was very safe, after all, it was a collapsed place, a space within a ruin with no entrance or exit whatsoever.

"Let's rest for a bit and wait for the Earth Walking Technique's cooldown."

As Jiang Yuan spoke, he handed another purple quality Skill Card to Mu Qianshan.

"This is also a Skill Card from the Seventy-Two Transformations series, named Cute Head."

"What does that mean?"

Mu Qianshan, who was about to take the Skill Card, paused, looked up at Jiang Yuan, a bit puzzled.

The previous Seventy-Two Transformations series Skill Cards clearly indicated their effects from their names.

Like [Swordsmanship], or [Wind Control].

But Cute Head?

Black man with question mark.jpg!

"You'll know when you see it."

Jiang Yuan said with a smile after stuffing the Skill Card into Mu Qianshan's hand.

[Purple Card [Seventy-Two Transformations - Cute Head]]: Sense in advance before certain things happen.

Simply put, it was a danger prediction function.

However, it wasn't just danger; opportunities could also be predicted.

But in this battlefield where there were only humans and no spoils of war could be gained from killing opponents, opportunities were out of the question; it could simply be used as a danger prediction.

"This is good!"

After reading the Skill Card information, Mu Qianshan's eyes also lit up: "This way, our chances of being attacked will be much smaller."

"And if we are attacked, we can sense it in advance and respond."

"That's right."

Jiang Yuan smiled, then felt a bit annoyed.

Overall, it still came down to strength!

Without strength, one could only be cautious and utilize every available resource around them.

But with strength, there was no need for such measures.

Jiang Yuan inwardly examined the stars within his body, then sighed again.

Daliang strength seemed a bit strange; Late Stage strength was much stronger than Daliang.

Or rather, each stage of Daliang strength was different.

Was it because everyone present was a genius from the Four Top Academies?

He also wondered if he could fight against Late Stage opponents after breaking through to Da Liang Initial Stage, just like when he first broke through to the Descending Star strength.

"Let's go, time to move."

After a moment of thought, Jiang Yuan shook his head, casting aside the things that hadn't happened yet, and stood up to speak to Mu Qianshan and the others.

"Alright."

As the purple Skill Card flashed again, Jiang Yuan and his group's figures disappeared.

"Judging by their first distance, if they choose here this time, it's not a good choice."

After Miao Xinghuo saw Jiang Yuan use [Earth Walking Technique] again on the screen, he roughly calculated their next appearance location.

Miao Xinghuo's finger tapped on the map, then he looked at the surveillance screen for that location.

And on the screen for that location, a team of Daliang strength Students was currently hidden.

Leading them was Dong Yumeng, the eleventh-ranked Student from Bei Mang Academy.

A powerful Skill Card Master.

At the same time, there were also two other strong individuals from their academy beside her.

The twenty-third ranked fifth-year Student of Bei Mang Academy.

The fortieth ranked fifth-year Student of Bei Mang Academy.

"It's good that the map is smaller; the probability of encountering enemies has increased." Guan Chutian also saw this scene and said with a smile.
