272: The first round is over, rewards for the top 200!

"Killed him?"

"Killed him!"

Ai Xiu looked incredulous. That was someone with Daliang strength!

Do you, a Late Stage guy, have to be so ruthless?

Just kill him like that?

But very quickly, he saw the black dragon head charging towards Jiang Yuan, and his expression suddenly changed.

Although Nezha's attack power was very high, he could take out a Daliang opponent with three arrows.

But high attack doesn't mean high defense!

If Jiang Yuan was hit by that attack, he probably wouldn't fare well.

This was not an attack of equal strength, so Linglong Pagoda would be ineffective.

However, even if it were an attack of equal strength, this was a purple quality Attack Skill Card, and the white quality Linglong Pagoda clearly couldn't withstand it!

"Dodge!" Ai Xiu roared, and a black disc appeared, then it shot towards Jiang Yuan's direction.

After seeing Jiang Yuan still not dodging, Ai Xiu gritted his teeth again, purple light shone, and his speed increased sharply!

"Although it's true, it still feels very unreasonable."

It wasn't just Ai Xiu who was surprised just now; even the Students who had already been eliminated in the square were very surprised at this moment.

"Is there some special effect?"

A Student, also of Daliang strength, asked somewhat strangely, "He clearly used defensive equipment and a Defensive Skill Card, so why did they have no effect on the flying arrow?"

"It's... as if the two aren't in the same space?"

The Daliang Student was puzzled, but the other Jiang Lou strength Students were very excited.

The Students in the Second Battlefield were all people of Jiang Lou and Great Beam strength.

Many Jiang Lou strength Students were bullied and eliminated by Great Beam strength Students.

At this moment, when they saw someone actually taking out a Great Beam strength Student with three arrows while only having Jiang Lou strength, they couldn't help but get excited.

If it were me, I couldn't even imagine how cool it would be!

"It should be a card characteristic, right?"

Miao Xinghuo replayed the moments when Nezha's first and third arrows attacked.

"Does it have the characteristic of being able to ignore Energy?"

Yu Chengtian scratched his head in confusion, watching as the Energy defense on the defensive equipment was ignored, the attacking black dragon flame was ignored, and finally, the crystal defense was ignored.

"It shouldn't be ignoring Energy. After all, although the final purple crystal defense was composed of Energy, it transformed into a physical entity. In essence, it's no longer considered Energy defense."

Guan Chutian shook her head and glanced at Li Yueying, who was beside the Old Principal.

"She might know, but I also have an idea."

After Guan Chutian finished speaking, Yu Chengtian and Miao Xinghuo both turned their heads to look at Guan Chutian.

"It ignores any point on a straight line distance."

However, before Guan Chutian could speak, Jin Lingyu, who was beside them, pushed up his glasses and spoke with slight uncertainty.

"Mm, I think so too."

Guan Chutian wasn't annoyed at being preempted; instead, she nodded in agreement.

"This is... space?"

Yu Chengtian and Miao Xinghuo were, after all, Tenth Realm powerhouses, and they understood after only a brief thought.

But, space?

Miao Xinghuo frowned. The Space Skill Cards or other types of cards he knew of were all at least red quality.

Theoretically, a purple quality card shouldn't be able to carry the power of space.

He had seen a golden quality Skill Card, which was also a card with an effect similar to Jiang Yuan's.

It was a space-type!

If Jiang Yuan's card was based on himself as one point and the target as another point, then on the straight line between those two points, nothing would affect the arrow shot out.

Then the golden quality card he had seen was similar to Jiang Yuan's, but it didn't have that line in the middle.

It shot from the user's point and directly reached the target's point, without needing to pass through the straight line in the middle.

This was the ability of space!

But why Jiang Yuan's?

Miao Xinghuo was a little confused and rewatched Jiang Yuan's recent battle video.

The four fell silent, but they were indeed Tenth Realm powerhouses; they discerned the effect of Jiang Yuan's Qiankun Bow after only a brief thought.

Although they couldn't confirm it yet.

However, the truth was indeed similar to what they imagined.

Facing the Zhentian Arrow shot by the Qiankun Bow, one could only block or parry it with Energy or physical objects connected to the body.

For example, the golden rod held in hand just now blocked the second arrow.

For example, the defensive equipment on the body blocked the first arrow.

No other method would work.

This was the domineering aspect of the Qiankun Bow's only skill!

...

...

"Uh..."

Time returned to the battlefield. Ai Xiu had already accelerated and was charging towards Jiang Yuan.

Although he used his fastest speed, he still couldn't catch up to the black dragon flame's speed.

Although his strength was greater than Ma Zhengwu's, he started a period of time later than the black dragon flame, after all.

Watching Jiang Yuan about to be hit by the black dragon flame, Ai Xiu's heart couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

The hero saving... hero drama ultimately didn't succeed.

"Boom!"

The black dragon flame hit, and black flames spread around, engulfing Jiang Yuan's location in a sea of black fire.

"What a pity."

Ai Xiu landed beside Jiang Yuan, looking at the black sea of fire in silence.

Feeling depressed, he even wanted to use the black flames to light a cigarette for himself.

"Pity what?"

Jiang Yuan's voice came, making Ai Xiu wonder if he had misheard.

Soon, the black flames dissipated, and Jiang Yuan's figure appeared before Ai Xiu.

"Uh..."

Ai Xiu stared blankly at Jiang Yuan, who was completely unharmed, not even a single burn or smoke stain on his clothes.

"You..."

"Is it strange?"

Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Ai Xiu.

"But what were you pitying just now?"

He was even more suspicious of Ai Xiu now.

How come a Student appeared right after she left?

Although there might be an element of coincidence, he didn't even show his face during the battle, but after the battle ended, he suddenly appeared beside him.

And even said "what a pity"?

Although Nezha's three arrows were very fast, there was still about five seconds of time.

Within the time from the first arrow to the third arrow taking out the opponent, Ai Xiu, who wasn't too far away, could have reacted completely.

Even Zhao Gongming and Shi Ji paid attention to this place when Nezha's first arrow was released, and Zhao Gongming had even drawn his bow and arrow, while Shi Ji had quietly approached within a certain distance of the opponent.

But what about Ai Xiu?

It didn't make Jiang Yuan suspicious that he had other motives.

Even...

Seeing Jiang Yuan's slightly narrowed eyes, Ai Xiu awkwardly scratched his head and looked up at the sky.

"If I say..."

"Don't believe it."

A moment later, Ai Xiu seemed to have thought of something, but he was interrupted by Jiang Yuan shaking his head just as he began to speak.

Looking at Jiang Yuan's smiling face, Ai Xiu also fell silent.

"Alright, I found that person, but I didn't lead them here."

Ai Xiu understood that he couldn't seem to fool Jiang Yuan, so he just confessed directly.

"I wanted to be a hero saving the beauty... uh, anyway, that's roughly the idea."

Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Hero saving beauty?

Hiss...

There's a pervert!

I need to leave!

"Hey, hey, hey! That's not what you think, it was just a slip of the tongue, that's roughly what I meant!"

Seeing Jiang Yuan looking at him with the gaze reserved for a pervert, Ai Xiu quickly began to explain.

What a joke? The Four School Joint Examination was all being livestreamed. If he really got the reputation of being a pervert, wouldn't everyone in the four top academies know about it!

What's more, the Four School Joint Examination battle videos would be saved, and later, some famous scenes would be edited and published on the academy's official website.

This was something that people nationwide, and even worldwide, could see.

If someone edited this scene of him in, then he truly wouldn't be able to explain himself, even with a hundred mouths.

"Anyway, that's roughly the idea. I wanted to use a favor to get you to make a card for me, since we didn't know each other before and had no connection."

"So I thought that after successfully saving you this time, I would have a certain right to ask you to make a card for me."

"Of course, custom cards require payment and materials, I'm clear about that, so even if you save me, I will still provide those."

"The reason for this is purely because we had no prior connection, we didn't even know each other, so I used this as a bridge for communication."

Ai Xiu no longer hesitated at this point and quickly laid out his entire plan.

Compared to the loss of face from his little scheme, the reputation of being a homosexual was something he absolutely could not bear.

After spilling his intentions like a string of pearls, Ai Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Now he could only hope that those who edited wouldn't mess up the footage.

It was all Jiang Yuan's fault for saying such suggestive words.

"I see."

Jiang Yuan nodded, but Ai Xiu still caught a hint of wariness towards him in Jiang Yuan's eyes.

An illusion!

Yes, it must be an illusion!

I've explained myself so sincerely, he couldn't possibly still suspect me of being homosexual!

After comforting himself, Ai Xiu heard Jiang Yuan's next sentence.

"Actually, you really don't need to go to such great lengths. As long as you can provide the star spirit stone and materials for the custom card, then I can help you customize it."

"Of course, it has to be within my capabilities. If it's beyond my capabilities, then I will return all the star spirit stone and materials to you."

"This is in the case of customization failure. Of course, in most cases, it will be directly stated whether it can be successfully made when you are customizing it."

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he saw Ai Xiu's excited expression and asked again, "So what type of card do you want to customize?"

"We'll talk about that later, this isn't the place to talk right now."

Although Ai Xiu was excited, he didn't forget where they were.

This was the Four School Joint Examination battlefield, and all movements and sounds were being livestreamed.

The card he wanted to make was like a secret weapon. If its effects and type were known, would it still be a secret weapon?

"That works too. Then come find me after the Four School Joint Examination ends."

"Okay!"

Ai Xiu nodded happily, "Alright, as a way for us to get closer, I'll protect you so you successfully advance to the top two hundred."

Just as Ai Xiu finished speaking, a spatial gate suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

"This is...?"

...

...

"I feel like this treasure setting could be added to the next Four School Joint Examination."

After the battle on Jiang Yuan's side completely ended, Jin Lingyu also glanced at the remaining number of people.

At this moment, only a little over two hundred people remained, which was much faster than the previous Four School Joint Examination battles.

Looking at the First Battlefield and the Third Battlefield, both battlefields still had nearly a thousand people left at this time.

"Indeed, if it weren't for that battle at Chen Xing Lake, the number of people remaining now would probably be similar."

Guan Chutian also nodded, "In that battle at Chen Xing Lake, a rough estimate is that at least four or five hundred people were eliminated."

"It's indeed a good setting. I've already decided to include it in the next Four School Joint Examination."

Miao Xinghuo also smiled, "Of course, I still need to discuss this with our Principal when I go back."

"But seeing this efficiency, he'll most likely approve it."

"Interesting. But if this treasure setting is added, shouldn't the rewards be better? But not too good, it wouldn't work if it broke the balance."

Guan Chutian also began to ponder, because the Four School Joint Examination after the next one would be held at their Da Xia Academy.

"Then this will need to be formulated based on the Students' situations."

As the few of them discussed, the number of remaining people in the Second Battlefield continued to decrease.

Just as Jiang Yuan and Ai Xiu were talking, the number of people had already dropped to only two hundred.

Although there were still two teams fighting, their battle was now forced to stop.

"Consider yourself lucky, you son of a bitch!"

"Damn it, you're the lucky one, right? A mere Zhongyuan Academy, don't think that just because you're the host this time, you'll still fail to get the championship!"

After the two sides exchanged harsh words, they directly entered the spatial teleportation gate, exiting the Four School Joint Examination battlefield and returning to the Zhongyuan Academy square.

Fighting was not allowed in Zhongyuan Academy's square, so although the two sides had returned, they could only glare at each other, not daring to easily make a move.

"This is the teleportation gate that signifies the end of the Four School Joint Examination, it must mean only two hundred people are left."

Ai Xiu looked at the teleportation gate that suddenly appeared in front of him. Although a little embarrassed, he still explained it to Jiang Yuan.

How outrageous! He had just said he would protect Jiang Yuan to get into the top two hundred, and no sooner had he spoken than there were only two hundred people left in the field, and then Jiang Yuan successfully entered the top two hundred.

But why did this Four School Joint Examination end so quickly?

Ai Xiu was a little confused, but he still followed behind Jiang Yuan and exited through the teleportation gate.

Jiang Yuan returned to the square and looked at the four Vice Principals on the stage, and behind them, the Old Principal and his master, Li Yueying. His heart couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Entering the top two hundred, first step complete.

Next was to get the rewards for the top two hundred!

Star Power light spheres!

With this...
