30: The Dongtian Simulation League begins!

"How did it go?"

"Still no good."

Jiang Yuan shook his head, his face filled with dejection.

It had been two days since he started making cards for Mu Qianshan.

During these two days, he had been trying to create the Slashing Immortal Flying Knife card.

However, he hadn't succeeded yet.

Tomorrow was the Dongtian Simulation joint exam, and his last attempt today still failed.

"That's strange?"

Mu Qianshan scratched his head, but he didn't know much about card crafting, so he wasn't sure how to comfort Jiang Yuan.

"It's alright. Even without the Slashing Immortal Flying Knife, the two new cards I made are enough to ensure I don't drag you guys down."

After recovering from the failure of card crafting, Jiang Yuan also smiled and said to Mu Qianshan.

"Drag us down? I'll protect you."

"Alright."

Jiang Yuan agreed, "Then I'll head back first. We still have to gather tomorrow morning."

"Okay."

After the two parted ways, Jiang Yuan returned to his small room in the night.

After arriving home, he absorbed Star Epoch Power to cultivate while pondering the reason for the Slashing Immortal Flying Knife's failure.

"Could it be that the Slashing Immortal Flying Knife is too high in quality, and a white quality card can't handle it?"

Jiang Yuan pondered for a while, but still couldn't come up with a suitable reason.

In the end, he had no choice but to give up.

He observed his spiritual space; at this moment, the third star of Star Epoch was flickering.

If the faint light could shine with the rich brilliance like the previous two stars, it would mean he had officially entered the Star Epoch Late Stage.

However, it seemed it would still take some time to enter the Star Epoch Late Stage.

...

...

"Is it still just the three of us?"

Early the next morning, Jiang Yuan, Mu Qianshan, and Zhou Dongshan boarded the bus prepared by the school and headed towards the joint exam location.

"I'm a guy with no combat power, so of course no one wants to team up with us."

Jiang Yuan spread his hands, and Zhou Dongshan also smiled helplessly.

It wasn't that no one had tried to team up with them these past two days, but most of them were after Mu Qianshan.

There was even one person who, after joining the team, tried to kick Jiang Yuan out.

This touched Mu Qianshan's bottom line, so he unhesitatingly chose to make that person withdraw.

Since then, everyone in the class understood that Mu Qianshan was basically tied to Jiang Yuan.

Although Mu Qianshan ranked among the top five in combat power in the class, with Jiang Yuan, this guy who would drag them down, it was questionable whether they could stand out.

So, after learning that Jiang Yuan wouldn't withdraw, no one else came forward to team up with Mu Qianshan.

"The strength of the three of us is already enough; we don't need anyone else."

Facing Zhou Dongshan's confusion, Mu Qianshan also said confidently with his head held high.

With the Zifu Sword enhancement Jiang Yuan made for him, he had already broken through the twenty-third floor, which had troubled him for a long time, and was now challenging the mini-Boss on the twenty-fifth floor.

As for Jiang Yuan, after updating his defensive, or rather, life-saving cards, Nezha also successfully broke through the mini-Boss on the twenty-fifth floor and was now on the twenty-seventh floor.

Although Zhou Dongshan's Dream Tower floor count wasn't as high as theirs, he had also successfully broken through the twentieth floor and was now challenging the twenty-first floor.

The strength of all three had already broken through the Star Epoch Middle Stage realm; strictly speaking, they really didn't need others to "add icing to the cake."

"We've arrived. Get off the bus."

As the teacher's voice sounded, Jiang Yuan and the other two got off the bus.

The place they got off was an open space, at the very end of which was a huge gate, like the entrance to the Dream Tower.

The gate was open, but the flowing white Energy prevented anyone from seeing what was inside.

"I wonder what race we'll have to face in this Dongtian," Mu Qianshan sighed, looking at the Dongtian gate in front of them.

Dongtian contained various other races, and Dongtian Simulation was no different.

To put it simply, a Dongtian was actually a passage.

It was a passage connecting Jiang Yuan's main world and the world where the alien races resided.

However, what was different was that there was an independent small world in the middle of the passage between the two worlds.

Dongtian referred to this small world.

It was a place where the two connected worlds fought and contended.

The Dongtian Simulation League was about entering this small world and fighting against the simulated alien races.

Compared to a real Dongtian, because this was a place for assessing students, all areas within the Dongtian were monitored.

And most importantly, direct killing was allowed here.

In recent years, Dongtian Simulation technology had broken through, and newly crafted cards had added abilities similar to the Dream Tower card.

Dying in the Dongtian Simulation didn't mean actual death; instead, one would be directly sent back.

This led to the Dongtian Simulation becoming increasingly intense in recent years, no longer having the previous feeling of being constrained.

"It's said that the main card for this Dongtian Simulation card is a gold quality card, and even the sub-card in front of us now is a red quality sub-card."

While queuing, Mu Qianshan also explained to Jiang Yuan and Zhou Dongshan.

Jiang Yuan's heart stirred, "So, does that mean there are big shots here?"

"That's for sure. Not only are there big shots who brought the Dongtian Simulation card, but even the big shots from Zhenhai City are here."

Mu Qianshan explained, "After all, it's the first battle for fresh blood, so many people are definitely paying attention."

"What's the point of explaining so much to them? They won't be able to interact with them anyway."

As soon as Mu Qianshan finished speaking, a familiar voice came from nearby.

Mu Qianshan and Jiang Yuan turned their heads and saw Ji Bin looking at Jiang Yuan and Zhou Dongshan with a mocking expression.

"One is a defeated opponent, and the other is a guy who only knows how to hide. What else can you expect?"

Zhou Dongshan's small eyes widened, but Jiang Yuan stopped him, "Aren't you also my defeated opponent?"

"A guy who only knows how to evade, with no attacking power whatsoever. In the Dongtian Simulation, there aren't just Star Epoch Middle Stage enemies."

It was fine until Jiang Yuan said this; as soon as he did, Ji Bin immediately became furious.

It was fine when he didn't know, but after learning about the Linglong Pagoda skill in Jiang Yuan's possession, Ji Bin almost exploded.

Once this card was out, didn't it mean he was invincible among those of the same rank?

If you can't break the defense, how can you fight?

However, even though he understood, Ji Bin still couldn't swallow his anger, which was why he couldn't help but mock them when he saw Jiang Yuan and his group.

"Ha, what an Innocent Fool."

Yu Xiaoxiao, who was behind them, couldn't help but laugh when she saw the two sides clashing.

She ultimately joined the team formed by the four people among the top five combat powers in the class.

However, even so, she was still very displeased with Jiang Yuan publicly rejecting her.

But since Jiang Yuan's team had Mu Qianshan, the young master of the Mu Family, they weren't so much of an Innocent Fool as to go up and mock them.

"If we run into Jiang Yuan in the Dongtian, we'll teach him a lesson and help you vent."

After Yu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, a refined young man with gold-rimmed glasses next to her spoke.

"Can you break through the Linglong Pagoda?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked with some curiosity.

Although the gold-rimmed glasses ranked fourth in combat power in the class, he was also at the Star Epoch Middle Stage.

"Why should I break it? In the Dongtian Simulation, there are alien races at the Star Epoch Late Stage." The gold-rimmed glasses smiled and slowly said.

"After taking care of Jiang Yuan, Mu Qianshan might even thank us for helping him deal with that guy who was dragging them down."

Another teammate of Yu Xiaoxiao also smiled sinisterly, his eyes constantly sneaking glances at Yu Xiaoxiao.
