271: Ai Xiu’s little trick, kill with three arrows!

“Thirty-Six Transformations?”

Li Chengyi and Ye Jinhuan exchanged glances.

Previously, they hadn’t heard of this type of Skill Card.

Or rather, was it another series, similar to the Seventy-Two Transformations series?

“It should be similar to the Seventy-Two Transformations series, right? Let’s see what effect it has.”

After a moment of silence, Li Chengyi finally spoke to Luo Huanan.

“It’s similar to Earth Walking Technique, but it seems to be faster and cover a greater distance.”

Luo Huanan said, then took out three other purple-quality Skill Cards.

“There’s also one Earth Walking Technique, one False Shape, and one Swift Travel?”

“What is Swift Travel?”

“It increases speed, probably by about two times?”

Luo Huanan was a bit annoyed: “Why are these Skill Cards, which we’ve never seen before, also one-time use Skill Cards!”

“Couldn’t they give us two more to test the effect?”

“If these five Skill Cards were used by the same person, they should be able to get into the top two hundred by relying on their life-saving abilities.”

Li Chengyi was silent for a moment: “But we’re a team, so why does Old Principal seem a bit stingy?”

“Ha!”

Hearing Li Chengyi’s words on the screen, Li Yueying couldn’t help but chuckle.

But she quickly covered her mouth and turned to look at the Old Principal beside her.

The Old Principal had a helpless expression: “This Jiang Yuan, he’s using my name but isn’t being generous enough.”

He shook his head slightly, but his expression showed that he wasn't blaming Jiang Yuan.

“But do you know about the Thirty-Six Transformations series?”

After a slight smile, the Old Principal turned to Li Yueying and asked.

Not only him, but even the other Vice Principal and the three Vice Principal from other academies sitting in front also looked at Li Yueying with curiosity.

“I actually know a bit about this.”

Li Yueying hesitated for a moment, then nodded: “The Thirty-Six Transformations Skill Cards and the Seventy-Two Transformations Skill Cards are two similar series of Skill Cards.”

“Among the two series of Skill Cards, according to Jiang Yuan, the Thirty-Six Transformations series is more powerful than the Seventy-Two Transformations, but it doesn’t have as many types as the Seventy-Two Transformations.”

“I only know one Skill Card from the Thirty-Six Transformations series, Nine Breaths Qi Cultivation, which can use breathing to restore Star Power. Every nine breaths restores all Star Power, making it a very good recovery-type Skill Card.”

Li Yueying finished speaking and spread her hands: “As for the others, I don’t know.”

“Subterranean Shrinking should be a Skill Card he recently created. He probably wasn’t satisfied with the effect of Earth Walking Technique.”

“I see.”

The Old Principal nodded. In a short while, Jin Lingyu and the others also learned what Li Yueying had just said.

“A very practical Skill Card.”

Guan Chutian nodded and praised: “However, these few one-time use Skill Cards are enough to get one person into the top two hundred. They won’t be enough for a team of four.”

Guan Chutian said, looking at the screen and couldn't help but smile: “Indeed, quick-witted people, seeing such a stingy reward, would know it definitely wasn’t set by the Old Principal.”

On the screen, Ye Jinhuan had already begun to question this matter, but she only complained a little.

After all, if it really was the Old Principal’s stingy reward, saying too much might make it awkward to face him later.

Ye Jinhuan shook her head, no longer speaking.

It was good to have them anyway, as their team hadn't lost any teammates this time.

“Then let’s head towards the safe zone.”

Hearing Ye Jinhuan’s complaint, Li Chengyi just smiled and didn’t say much.

After all, he genuinely felt it was the Old Principal’s doing.

If it were a Student, how could he notify so many people to come?

He might not have heard of any top Students from other academies having Skill Cards with such effects.

“Let’s go. The unsafe zone will reach the previous battlefield in about three to five minutes, and they should be catching up soon.”

“After all, this place is a straight line to the safe zone.” After Luo Huanan finished speaking, Ye Jinhuan smiled and said.

“But, let’s leave them a surprise.”

Ye Jinhuan’s smile was gentle and delicate, but no one dared to underestimate her.

Those who like to play with poison are never good people!

Looking at the triggerable venom traps set on the surrounding trees, on the ground, in the bushes, and even on the leaves, Li Chengyi once again gave a thumbs up to his previous thought.

Indeed, those who like to play with poison are never good people!

...

...

“Let’s rest.”

Seeing the poison circle reach Chen Xing Lake and the newly refreshed safe zone, Jiang Yuan, now having arrived, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and said to Zhao Gongming below him.

The Great Golden-Winged Peng nodded slightly, then landed in a city.

This city was relatively better preserved compared to the Ruined City they had just left.

“Find a room to rest?”

Ai Xiu, seeing Jiang Yuan and the others descend, also followed suit.

After landing on an empty rooftop, he asked Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan glanced at him. Although he didn’t understand why the other party had followed him all the way, he still nodded.

Perhaps the other party wanted to protect him, a junior.

However, Jiang Yuan still maintained some vigilance towards him.

No good deed goes unpunished, and no one comes to the temple without a reason!

The latter was fine, but if it was the former, then it would truly be troublesome.

Ai Xiu, ranked second on the fifth-year leaderboard, was likely a very strong Late Stage Card Master.

If the other party were to suddenly attack, only he would likely be able to escape successfully.

Shi Ji, Nezha, and Zhao Gongming would have a much harder time.

“Then I’ll go check that building.”

Seeing Jiang Yuan nod, Ai Xiu looked around and suddenly said to Jiang Yuan.

Although Jiang Yuan was a little strange, he didn’t pay attention and nodded again in agreement.

However, what he didn’t notice was the hint of sharpness that flashed in Ai Xiu’s eyes after he turned his head.

“Then let’s check the buildings around here.”

The Golden-Winged Peng had already transformed back into Zhao Gongming. Jiang Yuan and Nezha were together in the building they were on, while Zhao Gongming and Shi Ji went to the two adjacent buildings to see if there was a suitable, secluded place to rest well.

Although Jiang Yuan’s life-saving ability was good, his combat power was too weak, so he still needed someone with him.

Shi Ji’s individual combat power wasn’t very strong, and while Zhao Gongming’s attack strength was sufficient, his defensive ability wasn’t comparable to Nezha, who had many magical treasures.

Therefore, following Nezha was actually the best option.

After Zhao Gongming and Shi Ji nodded, they jumped downstairs and headed towards their respective targets.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan sighed slightly: “After this Four School Joint Examination, it’s time to prepare a Mount Card for both of them.”

Zhao Gongming was fine, as he had the Black Tiger as a mount.

But Shi Ji was not as fortunate; there were very few Undead Enslavement that could become qualified mounts.

There were also their other weapons, and Nezha’s other weapons.

And more importantly, the creation of the fourth Summoning Card.

He truly felt like he couldn’t rest; there wasn’t enough time!

Why didn’t he have a system, one that could create cards with a single click, or a system that could show the success rate of card creation based on materials?

If he had such a system, he wouldn’t have failed so many times and wasted so much time.

What a pity.

Jiang Yuan shook his head slightly. Just as he was about to go downstairs with Nezha, his peripheral vision suddenly caught a figure not far away.

“Nezha, prepare for battle!”

Jiang Yuan whispered, then quickly bent down, trying to hide himself.

“Let’s ambush them, then use the battle's aftermath to attract Zhao Gongming and the others’ attention. See if we can kill them; if not, then run!”

Jiang Yuan became nervous. After all, at this point in time, most of those who could still survive were of Daliang strength.

He just didn't know if the opponent was Late Stage or Daliang.

In his nervousness, Jiang Yuan subconsciously ignored the fact that there was also a senior from his academy nearby.

Ai Xiu, ranked second on Zhongyuan Academy’s fifth-year leaderboard!

“Alright!”

Nezha nodded, drew his Qiankun Bow, and without any hesitation, took out the Zhentian Arrow and placed it on the bowstring.

“Whoosh!”

In the blink of an eye, a streak of light shot towards the person running in the street below.

Ma Zhengwu was looking for a place to hide when he suddenly heard a sharp sound, like an arrow?

His mind had just reacted when his double defensive equipment activated.

An Energy barrier, and a close-fitting armor!

However, the flying arrow directly pierced through the Energy barrier, as if the Energy barrier didn’t exist, and struck his close-fitting armor.

“Crack!”

The purple-quality close-fitting armor shattered, and the purple defensive equipment on his body also dimmed in luster under this attack.

Defensive equipment destroyed!

Ma Zhengwu’s scalp tingled. As a purple-quality Skill Card appeared in his hand, he also looked around for cover.

However, before he could find cover, the next attack arrived.

The purple-quality Skill Card in Ma Zhengwu’s hand flashed, and with his speed increased, he immediately pounced to the side, attempting to dodge the attack.

But what he didn’t expect was that this arrow had a tracking function. It changed direction and shot towards him again.

Zhentian Arrow Skill [Lock]: If the attacked person’s mental power is less than the attacker’s, it will definitely hit!

“I didn’t expect it, it’s a tracking arrow?”

Ai Xiu, who was watching from not far away, also looked up at Nezha with some surprise.

“He’s also an archer, interesting.”

Ai Xiu smiled, then turned his head again to look at Zhao Gongming, who had appeared on another building.

At this moment, Zhao Gongming also had a bow made of lightning in his hand, already drawn and aimed at the person Nezha had just attacked.

Ma Zhengwu did not die under the second Zhentian Arrow.

Because of a purple-quality Skill Card.

[Golden Whirlwind Dance]!

When this Skill Card is used, a golden staff appears in the hand. Waving the golden staff forward, it has a 100% chance to destroy attacks of the same grade and power that are flying.

If the power gap increases, the probability decreases.

Jiang Yuan was of Late Stage strength, while Ma Zhengwu was of Daliang strength, so he was naturally able to block it 100%.

But before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, the third arrow shot over again.

It wasn’t Zhao Gongming’s Instant Flash, because Ma Zhengwu’s pounce earlier had put him into Zhao Gongming’s blind spot.

However, he didn’t enter Nezha’s blind spot, which led to the firing of the third Zhentian Arrow.

At the same time, Ma Zhengwu also looked up and saw Nezha.

[Late Stage strength?]

The moment Ma Zhengwu saw Nezha, he was stunned for a moment, but then came great anger.

Just a guy with Late Stage strength, and he dares to actively attack me!

Does he want to die?

Ma Zhengwu was furious, and two purple-quality Skill Cards flashed in his hand again.

However, just as the purple-quality Skill Cards appeared in his hand, Nezha’s third arrow also shot towards him.

Ma Zhengwu sneered. He had been unprepared and ambushed just now, but now that he was prepared, this mere Late Stage fellow would die here!

Who told him to have bad eyes and provoke the wrong person!

Ai Xiu, on the other side, was also watching this scene, ready to step in and save him at any moment.

A life-saving grace, this would make it much easier to propose conditions later.

Ai Xiu smiled slightly. Daliang strength was not bad. He would show Jiang Yuan a divine descent in a moment!

Unfortunately, Jiang Yuan wasn’t a girl, otherwise, if he saved the beauty and then she offered herself in return, wouldn’t that be a beautiful story?

Just as Ai Xiu felt a little disappointed, he saw a surprising scene.

The two purple-quality Skill Cards in Ma Zhengwu’s hand, one for offense and one for defense, were used simultaneously.

[Eight-Prism Crystal Barrier]!

[Black Dragon Impact Flame]

As the skills were released, a huge octagonal crystal body composed of small purple prismatic crystals appeared in the air, blocking Ma Zhengwu’s body.

In front of the purple crystal barrier, there was also an Eastern Dragon formed by black flames, roaring as it flew towards Nezha.

However, the Zhentian Arrow was unaffected. The moment it collided with the Eastern Dragon formed by black flames, it directly passed through the flame dragon’s body without being affected in the slightest.

Ma Zhengwu’s heart sank when he saw this, recalling how the Energy defense of his purple-quality defensive equipment had been pierced through earlier.

But before he could react, the metal arrow hit the octagonal purple crystal defensive barrier he had released.

Ma Zhengwu felt a hint of relief in his heart, glad that he had made two preparations.

One offense and one defense. If the skills didn't collide with each other, they could still defend against the opponent’s attack.

However, before he could finish sighing in relief, he saw the metal arrow seemingly shooting from another dimension, completely unaffected by his defensive barrier, piercing through the purple crystal.

“Pfft!”

A mouthful of fresh blood, and then Ma Zhengwu turned into a phantom and disappeared.

Zhentian Arrow Skill [Fatal Blow]: If the third Zhentian Arrow hits, and the user’s strength is greater than the opponent’s, it will be a fatal blow!

Clearly, the opponent was a Skill Card Master, not proficient in strength. Nezha, on the other hand, had Three Heads and Eight Arms activated, the blessing of Lotus Avatar, and the double attack power from the three Zhentian Arrows.

Fatal blow!

However, although Ma Zhengwu was dead, his attack continued to fly towards Nezha and Jiang Yuan.
