290: The top four will face Li Chengyi! A powerful trump card!

"Pale Floating Pagoda?" Jiang Yuan was startled and looked at Li Chengyi in confusion. "Is that the name of the armor?"

"That's right, you didn't know?"

"Oh, right, you really didn't know."

After a moment of surprise, Li Chengyi immediately reacted.

If Jiang Yuan had known, he would have attacked Shi Zhuan when Shi Zhuan switched states.

Instead of doing what he was doing now, using his own attack power to forcefully break through the Pale Floating Pagoda's defense!

However…

Li Chengyi looked at Jiang Yuan with a hint of envy.

Attack power strong enough to forcefully break through the Pale Floating Pagoda.

Truly enviable.

One must know that even for an attack-type Skill Card Master like him, it was very difficult to forcefully break through the Pale Floating Pagoda's attack power.

And Jiang Yuan?

One could only say that the Card Spirits under his command possessed excessively formidable attack power.

In addition, Jiang Yuan's own defense power was also terrifying.

One must know, if the attacking state Pale Floating Pagoda's full-power strike landed on him, he would absolutely not be able to withstand it.

Although comparing himself might seem a bit unflattering, it was indeed the case.

"Pale Floating Pagoda? Why does it feel similar to Zhan Youqing's mech?"

"It was originally a card created in imitation of a Mech Card, but the Pale Floating Pagoda, or rather, Da Xia Academy's Five-Colored Floating Pagoda Heavy Armor, has indeed forged its own path."

As soon as Jiang Yuan finished speaking, Huang Huanqing, who was beside him, began to explain to Jiang Yuan.

"Five-Colored Floating Pagoda Heavy Armor? Are there five types?"

"Yes."

Li Chengyi nodded: "The Pale Floating Pagoda, extreme attack and defense, with offense and defense interchanging. Strong attack power means low defense, and strong defense means low attack power. However, what remains constant is that their speed is very low."

"The second is the Profound Floating Pagoda, also known as the Black Floating Pagoda, which can regulate gravity."

"Regulate gravity?"

Jiang Yuan was stunned and quickly pressed, "What does that mean?"

"It means that if its blade strikes with a gravity of five, then when it hits you, after adjustment, it's equivalent to fifty times the force," Huang Huanqing explained.

Jiang Yuan pondered slightly, "Ten times, gravity adjustment?"

"Yes, it's roughly equivalent to extreme attack and speed. When applied to oneself, gravity decreases; when applied to an opponent, gravity increases."

After Li Chengyi nodded, he spoke again: "The third is the Crimson Blood Floating Pagoda, which is the Red Floating Pagoda. The more enemies it kills, the stronger its attack and defense become."

"What about this power?"

Jiang Yuan's heart skipped a beat. If it was a permanent increase…

"It's a temporary increase. If it doesn't continue to kill enemies, then the amplification ability will permanently increase by a percentage."

"A bit terrifying."

Jiang Yuan fell silent for a moment. If this heavy armor killed enemies from an entire world, how powerful would it become?

One must know that this world is not just the Human Race World; there are many other worlds.

For example, the Beast Race, whose reproductive capabilities are terrifying.

"There's an upper limit."

Just as Jiang Yuan's thoughts were running wild, Huang Huanqing, who was beside him, seemed to have seen through Jiang Yuan's thoughts and spoke calmly.

"Phew!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

It was good that there was an upper limit. If this ability truly had no upper limit, then it would be too abnormal.

"Although there's an upper limit, it's for permanently increasing one's own abilities, not for temporary boosts."

Li Chengyi glanced at Huang Huanqing and continued to speak to Jiang Yuan: "Indeed, once the permanently increased attack and defense reach their upper limit, they will no longer increase, but this upper limit is still very high."

"However, there's no need to worry. The Crimson Blood Floating Pagoda's weakness, like the Pale Floating Pagoda, is that it's a heavy armor with extremely slow movement speed."

"What about the remaining two?"

After Jiang Yuan nodded thoughtfully, he continued to ask Li Chengyi.

"The remaining two heavy armors are the Azure Jade Floating Pagoda, which can gain the opponent's stamina through attacks and also possesses astonishing defense and defense recovery speed. It can even repair its own defense by gaining the opponent's stamina, making it a tank-type heavy armor."

"The last one is the Dark Purple Floating Pagoda, the only long-range attacking Floating Pagoda Heavy Armor among the Five-Colored Floating Pagoda Heavy Armor. It possesses faster speed than other heavy armors and can enhance its attack strength by continuously releasing attacks."

"It seems these five sets of Floating Pagoda Heavy Armor are all very strong," Jiang Yuan couldn't help but exclaim after hearing Li Chengyi's explanation.

"They are indeed quite strong; after all, they are considered one of Da Xia Academy's signature cards."

As Huang Huanqing spoke, she stood up and walked towards the stage.

The five-minute interval was over, and it was her turn to enter the arena.

Huang Huanqing's opponent was Bai Fusi.

The two had fought before, and Bai Fusi had lost to Huang Huanqing.

He had finally made it out of the resurrection match, only to unexpectedly encounter Huang Huanqing again.

A hint of helplessness appeared on Bai Fusi's delicate face, and Wei Qiyou, who was beside him, could only pat Bai Fusi's shoulder in comfort.

Compared to Bai Fusi's helplessness, Huang Huanqing was much calmer.

A Beast Tamer Card Master's formidable combat power in the arena, coupled with her prior understanding of their opponent.

She was very confident that she was undefeated.

After the two went on stage, the battle ended very quickly.

Because she had already understood her opponent's strength beforehand, Huang Huanqing immediately unleashed her full power upon entering the arena.

Five Beast Tamers appeared in the field, and in a short while, Bai Fusi was defeated.

With this, the top four were decided!

Zhongyuan Academy had two: Li Chengyi, ranked first, and Jiang Yuan, who was unranked.

Bei Mang Academy had one: Wei Qiyou, ranked first.

Martial Arts Academy had one: Huang Huanqing, ranked first.

And Da Xia Academy, which had won the championship in the second battleground of the previous Four School Joint Examination, failed to even make it into the top four this time.

"One can only say that their luck was bad."

Guan Chutian could only shake her head helplessly as she saw the top four Students.

Shi Zhuan had already gained recognition and obtained the ability to use the Pale Floating Pagoda.

Originally, she thought that even if he didn't win the championship this time, he would at least be the runner-up.

After all, there was a Beast Tamer Card Master in this session.

Beast Tamer Card Masters were notoriously abnormal in terms of combat power in one-on-one arenas like the Martial Arts Arena.

But unexpectedly, Zhongyuan Academy also produced an abnormal one.

A Summoning Card Master!

Just like Beast Tamer Card Masters, their combat power was terrifying in one-on-one arena battles in the Martial Arts Arena.

After all, both relied on outnumbering the opponent!

Of course, after Jiang Yuan made it into the top four, and furthermore, defeated Da Xia Academy's top Student wearing the Pale Floating Pagoda to enter the top four, even Guan Chutian, who had always been displeased with Jiang Yuan, could not say much at this point.

Jiang Yuan had already proven his strength in the recent battle.

In terms of offense, he forcefully broke through the terrifying defense of the Pale Floating Pagoda's defensive state.

In terms of defense, he withstood the full-power strike that the Pale Floating Pagoda in its attacking state could unleash.

In the attacking state, with the accumulation of power from Treading Star Steps, even Students of the same combat level might not be able to withstand a full-power strike.

But Jiang Yuan blocked it!

Then Jiang Yuan forcefully dismantled the Pale Floating Pagoda.

Such combat power, even if they were Vice Principals of the Four Top Academies.

But looking at Jiang Yuan's situation, they could only exclaim, "Awesome!"

At the very least, they could not defeat a Student of Late Stage strength by fighting above their level when they were at Da Liang Initial Stage strength.

"So, the champion candidate has become unknown again. Everyone, shall we open the betting?"

The draw for the top four Students' matches was starting now, and Jin Lingyu didn't miss this opportunity. After pushing up his glasses, he asked the three people next to him.

"It has become unknown again? I don't think so."

Yu Chengtian sneered and unhesitatingly bet on Huang Huanqing.

"I still know the strength of our Academy's genius. A mere Jiang Yuan?"

"I'm betting on Huang Huanqing for the championship, one red quality heavenly material and earthly treasure!"

"Hiss, playing that big?"

Jin Lingyu was startled and looked at Yu Chengtian in disbelief.

"Less talk, are you taking it or not?"

Yu Chengtian rubbed his bald head and spoke unceremoniously.

"I'll take it!"

Provoked by Yu Chengtian, Jin Lingyu also pretended to be impulsive and directly accepted the bet.

"Since that's the case, then I'll bet on Huang Huanqing, shall I?"

Upon seeing Jin Lingyu accept the bet, Miao Xinghuo also smiled and took out a Backpack Card.

"It's also a red quality heavenly material and earthly treasure, betting on Huang Huanqing to win the final championship."

"Why aren't you betting on Wei Qiyou from your Academy?"

Guan Chutian asked Miao Xinghuo somewhat strangely, but she also took out a card without any hesitation.

"I'm also betting on Huang Huanqing."

"Of course I know how strong our Academy's Student is."

Miao Xinghuo said with a smile, "It might still be possible to defeat Li Chengyi and Jiang Yuan, but Huang Huanqing, as a Beast Tamer Card Master, is too unfair under the restrictions of this arena competition."

"Heh!"

Jin Lingyu sneered and turned his head away, but he successfully concealed the look of surprise in his eyes.

"My Fortune Card said my financial luck would explode today. It seems this is the corresponding event."

Jin Lingyu felt a little surprised in his heart and looked up at the draw results appearing on the big screen in the arena.

"Which means, the champion won't be Huang Huanqing?"

"I just don't know who it will be, Li Chengyi. Or Wei Qiyou?"

Jin Lingyu looked at the screen, silently pondering the first match between Li Chengyi and Jiang Yuan.

As for whether it could be Jiang Yuan?

Most likely not!

After all, Jiang Yuan was merely a Student with Da Liang Initial Stage strength.

Although he successfully defeated Shi Zhuan in the previous match, if his opponent in this round was Li Chengyi, then he would be in trouble.

If the opponent was Wei Qiyou, Jiang Yuan might still have some chance.

But now Jiang Yuan's opponent was Li Chengyi.

Jin Lingyu shook his head helplessly. What a pity, it was another internal conflict. Jiang Yuan would most likely not be able to get past Li Chengyi.

After all, Li Chengyi's card could cripple Jiang Yuan's strongest ability.

Jin Lingyu sighed slightly in his heart, then became excited again.

Then this time's champion should be between Li Chengyi and Wei Qiyou.

Compared to Wei Qiyou, Jin Lingyu obviously preferred Li Chengyi from his own Academy to win the championship.

Li Chengyi, a full-system Skill Card Master, possessed terrifying combat power.

When he was at Da Liang Initial Stage, he had already defeated opponents of Late Stage strength from the same academy.

Like Jiang Yuan, he also possessed abnormal strength.

But the difference was, Li Chengyi was now at Late Stage.

Coupled with that special card, this round of the competition seemed to have no suspense.

As Jin Lingyu was lamenting, Jiang Yuan and Li Chengyi in the lounge also stood up and walked towards the stage.

"I didn't expect it; it's an internal conflict again."

Li Chengyi was a bit helpless: "Eliminating Ye Jinhua in the top eight, top four…"

Li Chengyi smiled. Although he stopped his words, Jiang Yuan still understood what he meant.

"I will go all out."

Before entering the Martial Arts Arena, Jiang Yuan chuckled and said to Li Chengyi.

"Of course, I will too."

Li Chengyi also nodded, then stepped into the Martial Arts Arena first.

Jiang Yuan followed behind Li Chengyi, entering the Martial Arts Arena together.

"Another internal conflict, I wonder who will win this time."

The Old Principal below the stage couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene: "It's a pity, that card of Li Chengyi's child still restrains Jiang Yuan quite a bit."

After the Old Principal finished speaking, Li Yueying, who was beside him, did not speak.

She, who had always trusted Jiang Yuan immensely, was also silent at this moment.

There was nothing she could do; Li Chengyi's card, the card that severely countered Jiang Yuan's ability, was created by her.

"I always feel like I've unknowingly set up my disciple," Li Yueying said helplessly after a moment, rubbing her face.

"What does it have to do with you? Before the Four School Joint Examination, he had already asked you to make this card."

The Old Principal shook his head slightly: "One can only say Jiang Yuan's luck is bad."

"It seems so."

Li Yueying looked at the two in the Martial Arts Arena and could only remain silent.

It was a pity. If it weren't for that card, Jiang Yuan might still have been able to defeat Li Chengyi.

After all, the attack power Jiang Yuan displayed when he forcefully dismantled the Pale Floating Pagoda just now truly surprised her.

In the Martial Arts Arena, as the countdown of three, two, one in the air ended, Jiang Yuan and Li Chengyi both took out their cards simultaneously.

Nezha, Zhao Gongming, and Shi Ji appeared.

However, what surprised Jiang Yuan was that Li Chengyi did not immediately attack him, but instead quietly watched him, watching him use his cards.

Until Jiang Yuan manifested all of Nezha's equipment.

"Finally, it's here."

Li Chengyi smiled, then a purple quality card appeared in his hand.

Purple light shone, and a black Energy shot towards Nezha in the air.

More precisely, it was heading towards the Qiankun Bow in Nezha's hand.

Nezha tried to dodge, but this black Energy seemed to be tracking him, and its speed was very fast.

After Nezha realized he couldn't dodge, he also tried to use the Huntian Ribbon to block it.

But the black Energy passed directly through the Huntian Ribbon and landed on the Qiankun Bow.

The moment the Qiankun Bow was touched by the black Energy, its entire bowstring dimmed.

"Shadow Seal, it truly is a very good Skill Card."

Li Chengyi, seeing this, smiled: "Although it reduced some of my stamina, being able to seal the ability of your bow is also very good."
