385: [Lotus Incarnation]'s terrifying defense! (Seeking monthly ticket)

Jiang Yuan was slightly taken aback, but the small Jiang Yuan in his consciousness space emotionlessly watched the fine needle pricking towards him.

The fine needle arrived in front of the small Jiang Yuan, but it failed to hit him.

The pinkish-white Lotus Avatar petals layered and closed, enveloping the small Jiang Yuan at the heart of the lotus.

The outer Lotus Avatar petals easily withstood the spiritual Energy fine needle's attack.

The fine needle didn't even leave a trace on the Lotus Avatar petals.

All of this happened in an instant; everyone outside, including Jiang Yuan's opponent Yan Boren, couldn't help but light up when they saw Jiang Yuan momentarily dazed.

"Jiang Yuan's weakness has been found!"

"Sure enough, although his physical defense is strong, those two small golden pagodas on him don't seem to be able to defend against mental attacks."

"Jiang Yuan's weakness: Shadow Duel Card plus mental attack!"

"If you are confident in your strength, you might not even need the Shadow Duel Card and can directly use mental attacks!"

"Weakness?"

The Students watching the match became excited, and the Old Principal also looked at Jiang Yuan on the stage with some surprise.

This kind of weakness?

It seemed, it was relatively normal.

After all, there was no defensive equipment that could simultaneously defend against physical and mental attacks.

In the virtual Martial Arts Arena lounge, the Old Principal and Jin Lingyu, in two different spaces, showed the same smile.

"See? The weakness has appeared."

Jin Lingyu smiled, looking up at the field.

But the next second, his smile froze on his face.

Watching the dazed Jiang Yuan, Yan Boren launched another attack.

A more powerful mental attack Skill Card than [Mental Thorn]: [Mental Storm].

If [Mental Thorn] was a D-grade purple quality Skill Card, then [Mental Storm] was definitely an A-grade.

He paid such a high price purely to defeat Jiang Yuan.

Now Jiang Yuan was a prominent figure in Zhongyuan Academy, and even among the Four Top Academies.

As long as he could defeat Jiang Yuan, his own reputation would certainly appear among the Four Top Academies.

In one's life, becoming famous and making a fortune are inevitable.

Even for a Card Master like him, it was the same.

But the next second after [Mental Storm] was used, Yan Boren, including the Old Principal, Jin Lingyu, Wang Wenqing, Li Yueying, and other Students watching the battle, were all stunned.

Just like how Jiang Yuan was stunned when he saw the small needle appear in his consciousness space.

In his own consciousness space, a frantic storm raged, but it did not cause any damage to the Lotus Avatar in the center.

The "ding-ding-dang-dang" sounds were incessant, but Jiang Yuan was not affected at all.

Because the small Jiang Yuan in his consciousness space was currently under the protection of the Lotus Avatar, suffering no harm.

The small Jiang Yuan in the mental space represented Jiang Yuan's consciousness.

Since the mental attack did not cause any harm to the consciousness, it naturally would not cause any harm to the main body.

This was the reason why everyone was stunned.

Because under an attack of this magnitude, Jiang Yuan remained as calm as usual.

It should be noted that even the less powerful [Mental Thorn] had made Jiang Yuan pause earlier.

Although there was no painful expression on Jiang Yuan's face, it was certain that mental attacks could indeed bypass the defense of the small golden pagodas and harm Jiang Yuan.

But now, with a higher-level attack, Jiang Yuan's expression was normal?

Yan Boren's eyes showed confusion, and then he released another mental attack.

It was mainly an A-grade purple quality Skill Card.

[Soul Pierce]!

Compared to [Mental Storm], which had a wider attack range, it was more like an upgraded version of [Mental Thorn].

An attack that could concentrate power at one point to cause great damage to the opponent.

Jiang Yuan was not affected by [Mental Storm] just now, was it because the attack area of this skill was too wide?

Could it be that because of this, it was blocked by the small golden pagodas?

No, it had just been proven that the small golden pagodas could not block mental attacks.

But why did [Mental Storm] have no effect?

Yan Boren was puzzled, so he used the [Soul Pierce] skill.

He had bought a total of four Skill Cards that could cause damage to the enemy's spirit.

Two were similar to [Mental Storm], which were wide-area attacks.

The remaining two were [Mental Thorn] and [Soul Pierce].

After releasing the skill, Yan Boren also looked at Jiang Yuan with a hint of anticipation.

Nezha was still squatting idly to the side, not even glancing at Jiang Yuan.

He was confident that Jiang Yuan could handle this level of battle.

After all, it was just an opponent with Shi Shen Early Stage strength.

Lightning attribute attacks would beat him to death!

The Old Principal and Jin Lingyu in the audience were no longer speaking, but were staring intently at Jiang Yuan in the arena, wanting to see how Jiang Yuan would react to this kind of attack.

But Jiang Yuan's reaction disappointed them a little.

Jiang Yuan didn't even frown; he raised his hand, and a lightning attribute skill was released.

In Jiang Yuan's consciousness space, the damage of [Soul Pierce] was indeed greater than that of [Mental Thorn].

It even successfully penetrated three layers of Lotus Avatar petals and pierced in.

However, there were still many layers of Lotus Avatar between it and the small Jiang Yuan's main body, not to mention an even stronger defensive petal inside.

Theoretically speaking, although the Lotus Avatar that appeared in Jiang Yuan's consciousness world was not as strong as Nezha's Lotus Avatar in his world, it was still stronger than most people of the same level.

This would be the case if there was a comparison when everyone used the [Lotus Avatar] skill.

After all, the Lotus Avatar petals of the Lotus Avatar were ultimately composed of spiritual Energy.

The stronger the spiritual Energy, the higher the defense of the Lotus Avatar petals.

Jiang Yuan's Lotus Avatar petals were not as strong as Nezha's.

After all, although Nezha's Lotus Avatar petals had the same spiritual Energy as Jiang Yuan's, their defense was higher.

Perhaps it was due to different spiritual energies.

But even so, coupled with Lao Jun's [Tai Chi] damage immunity, Yan Boren's previous attack still did not cause any damage to Jiang Yuan.

"Sure enough, just one fire attribute skill is missing; then I can perfectly utilize the ability of the Lotus Avatar."

Jiang Yuan smiled, and made a decision in his heart.

Making a Golden Crow for himself was not impossible.

The question was, should he make it now?

Or...

Jiang Yuan snapped back to reality; Yan Boren had already been defeated by the lightning attribute attack released by his opponent.

Or rather, after Yan Boren saw that his mental attack had no effect, he simply gave up resistance and was pierced to death by a lightning spear casually released by Jiang Yuan.

"No, why?"

The Martial Arts Arena disappeared, and Yan Boren, who reappeared on the stage, still had dull eyes and murmured in confusion.

Jiang Yuan had no intention of responding to him; after glancing at the opponent, he returned to his seat in the audience and continued to schedule his next opponent.

Silence...

Not only was there silence in the audience, but Jin Lingyu's classroom also fell silent.

Jin Lingyu was frowning at the screen, staring at Jiang Yuan, deep in thought.

To be honest, he had thought of using mental attacks against Jiang Yuan a long time ago.

After all, Jiang Yuan's [Linglong Pagoda] Card had been sold, so he naturally studied it.

However, because white quality cards could be broken by purple quality attacks, he didn't pay too much attention.

But at his level of strength, he could barely be considered to have a photographic memory.

He could easily recall the skills of the [Linglong Pagoda] from his memory.

The Linglong Pagoda's skill was that it would only cause damage if the user's Energy attack level was greater than its own.

But the problem was that attacks targeting the mind did not belong to Energy type attacks.

Energy type attacks were divided into two kinds: special attacks and physical attacks; both were considered Energy type attacks.

But mental attack was another kind.

So he had an idea in his mind.

Perhaps mental attacks were the best way to deal with Jiang Yuan.

Although he hadn't said it in class just now, someone had already discovered it and put it into action.

But he did want to see if his idea was correct.

Now it seemed that Jiang Yuan's mental defense was not weak either.

After all, a pure spirit body, no matter how strong its spiritual Energy, could absolutely not withstand mental attacks.

Just like himself, even with high mental strength, if he had no mental defensive means, then a mental attack of Jiang Yuan's level could shake his spirit.

There was nothing to be done; spiritual Energy was just that fragile, after all, it couldn't be like the body, where the physical body alone could withstand many attacks.

If one had to compare, it would probably be similar to the defensive capabilities of the brain and the eagle's beak bone.

However, if the mental defense was also this strong, what other means could there be to defeat Jiang Yuan?

Could it be that it really required [Shadow Duel] and Skill Cards that destroy defensive equipment?

But someone had already tried that before.

In the end, they still couldn't break through the other small golden pagoda.

Moreover, if Jiang Yuan wanted to continue challenging upwards, his opponents would be stronger Sixth Realm Solid Star Middle Stage or even Shi Shen Late Stage opponents.

Facing opponents of this strength, the Linglong Pagoda on Jiang Yuan, who was in the Shi Shen Early Stage, would basically be useless.

If someone used [Shadow Duel] at this time, could Jiang Yuan withstand the opponent's attack?

Jin Lingyu fell into thought, while the other sixth-grade Students thought more deeply.

[Jiang Yuan is invincible, at least invincible in the Shi Shen Early Stage.]

[Isn't that right? Three mental attack cards, and Jiang Yuan didn't even frown. I seriously suspect that Jiang Yuan's initial daze was purely to trick that guy into using all his mental attack cards.]

[Consuming the opponent's effective strength, right?]

[Probably not, but the Shi Shen Early Stage sixth-grade Students are going to have a hard time, encountering such a nearly invincible opponent.]

[According to this situation, will Jiang Yuan continue to challenge?]

[He might challenge up to the highest rank in the Shi Shen Early Stage, which is around two thousand two hundred.]

[Indeed, after all, one Shadow Duel can cripple Jiang Yuan's Card Spirit, forcing him to fight alone, unless he himself has the ability to fight above his level.]

[How is that possible? Whether it's a Beast Tamer Card Master or a Summoning Card Master like him, their ability to fight above their level is purely about ganging up on the weak. If they don't have the help of their beasts or Card Spirits, their own combat power is actually not very strong.]

[But you cannot deny that even without the help of his Card Spirit, Jiang Yuan's own combat power is still invincible among his peers.]

[Because of the Linglong Pagoda, if I had the Linglong Pagoda, I would also be invincible at the same level.]

[You can boast about being invincible at the same level, but Jiang Yuan's attack strength is also in a league of its own.]

[Undeniably, but Jiang Yuan's limit is two thousand two hundred. Beyond that, it's not something he can control with lightning.]

The discussions in the virtual Martial Arts Arena's bullet comments were endless, but this also made many Sixth Realm Solid Star Middle Stage and even Shi Shen Late Stage Students in the sixth grade breathe a sigh of relief.

A person's name, a tree's shadow!

Even though they knew the Sixth Realm was different from the Fifth Realm, they were still afraid that Jiang Yuan would repeat the events of the Fifth Realm.

Immediately after breaking through, he directly challenged the rankings all the way to first place!

In the Fifth Realm, Da Liang Initial Stage, he had suppressed a group of Daliang and late-stage people.

Although there wasn't a precedent of using [Shadow Duel] against Jiang Yuan at that time, it still demonstrated Jiang Yuan's strength.

And now, Jiang Yuan had broken through to the Sixth Realm Shen.

Still the same as before, he came to challenge the rankings immediately after breaking through, and with an attitude of aiming for first place.

How could this not make them tremble with fear?

If Jiang Yuan really picked them off, it would be truly embarrassing.

But thankfully, the opening of this virtual Martial Arts Arena also revealed Jiang Yuan's weakness to everyone.

It also made them realize that Jiang Yuan might only be able to challenge up to the limit of Shi Shen Early Stage and then stop.

"Hey, why didn't we think of using the Shadow Duel Card to deal with Jiang Yuan back then?"

In the audience, Li Chengyi, who had watched all of Jiang Yuan's battles, asked Ye Jinhuan beside him with interest.

"Someone had already used the Shadow Duel Card against Jiang Yuan before."

"Moreover, Jiang Yuan seemed to have myasthenia at that time, and had no combat power, not even the powerful lightning attribute attack skills he has now."

"Tsk tsk, if I had that awareness back then, wouldn't I have been able to keep my first place on the fifth-grade ranking?"

Li Chengyi became more and more excited as he spoke: "It's even possible to win the championship in the second group of the Four School Joint Examination."

"Tsk tsk, what a pity."

"It is indeed a pity, after all, Jiang Yuan's own strength was indeed not strong back then."

Ye Jinhuan chuckled, glancing at Jiang Yuan sitting in the audience across from them.

"However, the reason we didn't use Shadow Duel to face Jiang Yuan was purely because Liu Xiaofei couldn't defeat Jiang Yuan even when he used Shadow Duel at that time."

"So we thought Shadow Duel was useless."

Ye Jinhuan smiled: "Indeed, battle is a continuous process of trial and error."

"Let's continue watching. Jiang Yuan's challenge path will not stop. We can continue to watch his battles until we find his weakness."

As Ye Jinhuan spoke, Jiang Yuan also stood up, walked onto the Martial Arts Arena, and prepared for his next battle.
