288: Crisis at the source of the river! The power of the Five-Colored Pagoda Heavy Armor!

Shi Zhuan's eyes darted around, wary of Nezha's arrows from above, while also observing Zhao Gongming's position.

And there's also that girl in black, I wonder what her ability is?

"This heavy armor's defense is terrifying, but why does it feel somewhat familiar?"

Li Chengyi, in the lounge, looked at the scene on the field and said with a hint of surprise.

"It's the Pale Floating Pagoda, one of the Five-Colored Floating Pagoda Heavy Armor from Da Xia Academy. It can also be called the White Floating Pagoda. Although it hasn't appeared for several years, these five sets of Floating Pagoda Heavy Armor are still very famous."

As if hearing Li Chengyi's voice, Huang Huanqing, also sitting in the lounge not far from Li Chengyi, spoke calmly.

"Is that so? But why didn't he use it in the last Four School Joint Examination?" Li Chengyi suddenly understood, turned to look at Huang Huanqing, and asked again.

"In the last Four School Joint Examination, he should have been in the first Ten Thousand Races Battlefield. His strength wasn't enough. The Five-Colored Floating Pagoda Heavy Armor is at least purple quality, so he definitely couldn't have used it."

Huang Huanqing still spoke in a calm tone, seemingly unconcerned by the power of the Pale Floating Pagoda.

"It's a pity for Jiang Yuan. Among the Five-Colored Floating Pagoda Heavy Armor, this white set of Floating Pagoda Heavy Armor is the most effective against Jiang Yuan compared to the other four sets."

Huang Huanqing looked at the situation on the field, a hint of regret appearing on her face.

She wondered if Jiang Yuan would still make cards for her after losing this match.

After all...

Huang Huanqing glanced at Zhao Gongming, who was knocked back on the stage, then looked at the nearly shattered card in her consciousness, and sighed softly.

"Let it shine one last time on this Four School Joint Examination battlefield."

In the arena, Jiang Yuan and Nezha looked at the white humanoid heavy armor in front of them with some surprise and uncertainty.

This level of defense?

And it also has this level of attack power?!

Is it that terrifying?!

Going back to just now, after Nezha's first arrow only shattered the small shield on the opponent's arm, Jiang Yuan and Nezha immediately understood that the opponent's defense was definitely not comparable to the previous Students'.

In this situation, the Deterrence of the Zhentian Arrow was greater than its offensive meaning.

So Nezha's second arrow was held back, while Zhao Gongming stepped forward to test.

The Steel Whip in Zhao Gongming's hand had a piercing effect. Even if the opponent's defense was extremely terrifying, as long as Zhao Gongming's attacks were frequent enough, he could still vibrate him to death within the heavy armor!

This was the power of blunt weapon piercing damage!

But just as Zhao Gongming charged forward, swinging the Steel Whip in his hand, the white heavy armor on Shi Zhuan's body flashed with a stream of light. The Mo Dao in his hand collided with Zhao Gongming's Steel Whip, directly forcing Zhao Gongming back two steps!

Although Zhao Gongming didn't use his full strength, this level of attack power still amazed Jiang Yuan and Nezha.

Not only them, but Zhao Gongming himself was also very surprised.

Although he didn't use his full strength, only a probing attack, his attack power was not weak.

Even compared to Nezha, his strength was slightly stronger than Nezha's.

In a full-power strike, the attack damage was even similar to Nezha's strongest third arrow.

But he really didn't expect that with such high defense, the opponent's attack power would also be so strong.

Is this reasonable?

High defense, high attack. Now it seems the opponent's only weakness is in movement speed.

Zhao Gongming and Nezha's expressions were solemn as they looked at the white heavy armor.

"First, create distance and use long-range attacks."

Jiang Yuan obviously realized this situation and immediately spoke to the three in front of him.

After Zhao Gongming, Nezha, and Shi Ji nodded, Nezha's second arrow was also directly fired!

At the same time, Shi Ji pointed with one hand, and [Necromancy: Black Moon Ray] was released.

As a purple-quality Necromancy, [Black Moon Ray] not only had high attack intensity but also had a chance to randomly seal a defensive skill of the hit defensive equipment.

However, the opponent's heavy armor should be a set, so Shi Ji's skill was aimed at the opponent's chest plate.

As long as she was lucky enough to seal one of the opponent's defensive skills, then it would be easier to fight next.

Jiang Yuan really didn't expect to encounter such a strong opponent already in the quarterfinals, so he could only reluctantly bring out his full strength.

Originally, this skill was meant to be saved for later opponents.

After sealing one of the opponent's defensive skills, the defensive equipment on the opponent's body would most likely not be able to withstand Nezha's three arrows.

But it works now too, after all, the opponent is the top-ranked fifth-year Student from Da Xia Academy!

The black light ray and the Zhentian Arrow simultaneously headed towards Shi Zhuan. Zhao Gongming was not idle either. After a slight charge, the black [Mokylin Sharp Spear] also smashed towards Shi Zhuan.

The attack intensity of the black [Mokylin Sharp Spear] was much higher than the previous blue [Mokylin Sharp Spear].

After all, the lightning used before was ordinary lightning, but now, due to the Mokylin, Zhao Gongming's lightning had evolved into Divine Order Lightning!

Black lightning flashed in the air, and the extreme light made the surroundings turn dark.

However, even so, Shi Zhuan did not dare to easily ignore Nezha and the girl in black's attacks.

"Activate!"

Facing the three attacks that came almost simultaneously, Shi Zhuan also gritted his teeth and roared.

The white heavy armor on his body flashed with a stream of light, and his arms crossed in front of him. A semi-egg-shaped round shield instantly appeared from his armguards.

Also appearing at the same time was the Energy barrier on his body, which was a defensive skill carried by his chest plate!

The Zhentian Arrow was the fastest, ordinary yet directly passed through the Energy barrier in front of Shi Zhuan.

"Clang!"

"Thud!"

With a loud bang, the egg-shaped round shield that appeared on his arm instantly shattered, but it also deflected the Zhentian Arrow's attack.

Shi Zhuan was forced back two steps by the powerful force. The Zhentian Arrow also stuck into the ground beside Shi Zhuan's foot, its tail feathers trembling.

Shi Zhuan had no time to be alarmed, as Shi Ji and Zhao Gongming's attacks followed one after another!

Even though he was very confident in his defense, the intensity of the two Zhentian Arrow attacks just now had exceeded his previous judgment's upper limit.

Nezha's attacks were already so powerful, so Zhao Gongming and the girl in black's attacks wouldn't be weak either.

The black Energy ray and the black lightning spear appeared in Shi Zhuan's eyes.

The black Energy, hidden beneath the intense light, struck the Energy barrier, creating cracks in it.

Then, with just a slight touch of the black lightning spear, the Energy barrier that bloomed from the chest plate shattered into pieces.

Shi Zhuan also quickly activated his heavy armor's skill.

As a silvery-white metallic light covered him, the black spear directly struck Shi Zhuan's body.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

He retreated two more steps, his feet landing heavily on the ground, forcefully withstanding this attack!

As the intense light brought by the lightning dissipated, Shi Zhuan's figure finally appeared before Jiang Yuan and the others.

"Did he block it?"

Jiang Yuan's face sank. To be able to withstand such an attack unscathed, just how terrifying was the opponent's defense?

"It seems Jiang Yuan will have a tough time this round."

Guan Chutian saw that Shi Zhuan had blocked the attack without any harm, and her body relaxed. She said with a smile.

"After all, he's only at Da Liang Initial Stage strength. It's already quite good that he made it to the quarterfinals." Miao Xinghuo also nodded slightly and said.

"It's a pity, your academy's Pale Floating Pagoda really counters Jiang Yuan. If it were any of the other four Floating Pagoda Heavy Armor, it wouldn't be possible to be unscathed under such an attack."

Yu Chengtian also shook his head helplessly. Seriously speaking, he was very optimistic about Jiang Yuan.

After all, in his opinion, the first place in the second Ten Thousand Races Battlefield of this Four School Joint Examination would definitely be his academy's Huang Huanqing.

With no one else posing a threat to Huang Huanqing, he still liked talented individuals like Jiang Yuan who could challenge higher ranks and defeat Students from other academies.

"Next, we'll see if he can discover the characteristics of the Pale Floating Pagoda. If he can, with so many of his people, there might still be a chance of winning."

Yu Chengtian said, then turned to look at Jin Lingyu beside him: "Does your academy not have information on the Five-Colored Floating Pagoda Heavy Armor?"

"We do."

A hint of helplessness also appeared in Jin Lingyu's eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses.

"We do, but Jiang Yuan is a Card Creator, and the kind who, well, how should I put it, likes to immerse himself in his own world."

Jin Lingyu couldn't find the right words to describe Jiang Yuan for a moment.

After all, from what he understood, Jiang Yuan spent all his time making cards and cultivating at home, except for necessary courses. He rarely went out.

In the past year or so, he had only been to the Undead battlefield and the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield.

"Is that so."

As soon as Jin Lingyu said that, the other three Vice Principals immediately understood.

"It's normal for talented Card Creators to have some quirks."

Guan Chutian smiled happily, as she was quite pleased with defeating Jiang Yuan.

Although from the beginning of the battle, she, or rather they, had already noticed Jiang Yuan's lack of understanding regarding the Pale Floating Pagoda.

However, now that Jin Lingyu had confirmed this point, Guan Chutian was completely relieved.

If Jiang Yuan were at the same level, he might still be able to defeat Shi Zhuan even without knowing the characteristics of the Pale Floating Pagoda.

But now, Jiang Yuan is Da Liang Initial Stage, while Shi Zhuan is Late Stage!

One can only say...

"It's a sure win."

Guan Chutian chuckled, and Jin Lingyu also shook his head helplessly.

"This time also served as a reminder for us. After the Four School Joint Examination ends, we must have Li Yueying strengthen education in this area."

"Yes, at the very least, they should understand the characteristic cards of various academies and races."

Yu Chengtian also smiled and rubbed his bald head, saying: "Just like this battle, if Jiang Yuan knew the characteristics of the Pale Floating Pagoda, the situation would be different."

Jin Lingyu nodded, said nothing more, and continued to watch the battle between the two on the field.

Long-range attacks were continuously released, and Shi Zhuan in the arena was also somewhat overwhelmed.

"What kind of monsters are these three Card Spirits? Why are their attack intensities so high?"

After Shi Zhuan blocked Zhao Gongming's attack again, he cursed inwardly.

The previous attacks had almost completely depleted his defensive skills.

If he continued to fight, he would only be able to use his heavy armor to directly block!

But, could he block it?

A hint of uncertainty flashed in Shi Zhuan's eyes, then immediately resolved!

"Seize the opportunity, one-hit kill!"

The speed of the Pale Floating Pagoda was indeed a very significant flaw.

However, this flaw could be compensated for by skills!

For example, the foot skill in the Pale Floating Pagoda set.

[Treading Star Steps]!

Move forward three steps quickly. Under the same realm and quality, during this period, one cannot be knocked back or blocked. Each of the three steps accumulates momentum, and each step's attack becomes stronger than the last!

The three steps of [Treading Star Steps] were very fast. If he found an opportunity, with the characteristics of his Pale Floating Pagoda Heavy Armor, it wasn't impossible to directly take down one of them!

After blocking Zhao Gongming's lightning attack again, and just as his strongest defensive Energy barrier was burned away by the flames, the white heavy armor's feet flashed with a white light.

Immediately, Shi Zhuan strode forward!

One step!

Three meters!

Still about three meters away from Zhao Gongming!

However, Shi Zhuan's target was not Zhao Gongming, but Jiang Yuan behind Zhao Gongming!

The Martial Arts Arena's space was not too big, nor too small. The positions of both sides at this time were in the middle of the Martial Arts Arena.

And Jiang Yuan was only about four meters away from Zhao Gongming!

He had already judged this!

Plus the Mo Dao in his hand!

Jiang Yuan was also within the attack range!

To deal with a Summoning Card Master similar to a Beast Tamer Card Master, as long as he was defeated! The rest, whether Beast Tamers or Card Spirits, would disappear!

Shi Zhuan's extreme speed surprised the three of Nezha. Nezha, relying on his combat instincts, instantly threw his Fire Tipped Spear!

Zhao Gongming also commanded the black tiger to block in front of Shi Zhuan!

Shi Ji also launched an attack!

Amidst the strong winds and heavy rain of [Summoning Wind and Rain], Shi Zhuan disregarded the three's attacks, directly pushing through them!

Rainwater fell on the white heavy armor, splashing!

Shi Zhuan's back tensed, using his back armor to forcefully block Nezha's Fire Tipped Spear attack.

The Fire Tipped Spear spun and flew back, but the white light on Shi Zhuan's back armor also dimmed.

Two steps!

"Bang!"

His foot landed heavily, completely ignoring Shi Ji's Energy attack. The white heavy armor's shoulder sank, slamming hard into the black tiger, sending the black tiger flying while extending an arm to block Zhao Gongming's attack.

"Bang!"

The armguard shattered, and white heavy armor fragments flew!

However, even so, Shi Zhuan still didn't stop, nor did he unleash the momentum of his two steps on Zhao Gongming!

His eyes, slightly blurred by the rain, were still fixed on Jiang Yuan, who had a small golden pagoda rotating above his head and a black and white futon under his feet.

In Zhao Gongming's shocked and angry gaze, Shi Zhuan continued to advance!

Shi Ji gritted her teeth, and the purple-quality card in her hand glowed. A pale white bone wall appeared in front of Shi Zhuan, attempting to block his advance!

"Bang!"

The third step landed, Shi Zhuan directly crashed through the pale white bone wall, his foot landing heavily on the ground.

At this moment, he was only about one meter away from Jiang Yuan!

The white Floating Pagoda Heavy Armor flashed with a stream of light, and the Mo Dao in his hand also swung up, striking towards Jiang Yuan's neck!

Switch!

Attack mode!
