391: [Seventy-two Transformations] of spatial attributes

Chapter 373: The Space-Attribute [Seventy-Two Transformations - False Form]

“Damn, that’s so cool!”

The burly black bear man felt a pang of envy, then, with courage born of desperation, he charged towards Jiang Yuan with his blade, two cards simultaneously glowing.

The next second, the burly black bear man flickered, dodging the Qiankun Circle that was flung at him, and at the same time, he got a little closer to Jiang Yuan.

The light of another red quality card attached itself to his double-edged blade; it looked like an offensive Skill Card.

Nezha naturally wouldn't let him get close to Jiang Yuan. He stepped on his Wind Fire Wheels and directly smashed down from the air.

His Fire Tipped Spear thrust downwards, forcibly stopping the burly black bear man and blocking his attack.

“Clang!”

The sound of metal clashing rang out, and sparks flew everywhere in the arena.

The tip of the Fire Tipped Spear and the body of the double-edged sword crossed, and the two stood back-to-back, then simultaneously turned quickly to face each other.

However, before Nezha could launch another attack, a flash of lightning appeared behind the burly black bear man, and Zhao Gongming emerged.

Zhao Gongming’s Steel Whip smashed down. The burly black bear man, out of the corner of his eye, noticed Zhao Gongming’s attack. He used a move called ‘Su Qin Carrying Sword’ to put his double-edged long blade behind his back, blocking Zhao Gongming’s attack.

However, Zhao Gongming’s full-power attack was not that easy to block.

Even with the realm difference, the burly black bear man was staggered by the attack.

The burly black bear man was startled. Just as he looked up, he saw the tip of the Fire Tipped Spear.

He rolled on the ground to dodge the Fire Tipped Spear’s attack. Before he could even get up, the Fire Tipped Spear swung widely, sweeping across with a charged-up horizontal strike.

“Clang!”

Although he successfully used his weapon to block in front of him, defending against Nezha’s attack.

However, still unsteady on his feet, he was sent flying by the powerful force.

While suspended in the air, he saw a long bow made of lightning appear in Zhao Gongming’s hand, and his face immediately changed.

A card in his hand glowed, and an Energy defense barrier appeared in front of him.

“Ding!”

The Energy defense barrier blocked Zhao Gongming’s lightning arrow, but it couldn't block Nezha’s Zhentian Arrow.

As Zhao Gongming drew his bow and shot, Nezha’s Qiankun Bow and Zhentian Arrow had already been shot out.

“Bang!”

Another dull thud. Although his long blade was already across his chest, a part of the force from the arrow's impact still transferred to his chest.

The power of the arrow pushed him back further, and he still hadn't landed.

And Nezha’s second arrow had already been shot.

Having no choice, he could only throw the long blade in his hand to stick into the ground, while a card simultaneously appeared in his hand.

The card glowed, and the person and weapon instantly swapped positions.

Seventy-Two Transformations - False Shape!

Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow, looking intrigued.

The burly black bear man landed and reached out to catch the double-edged long blade falling from the sky.

The battle, though it sounds long, actually happened in a short amount of time.

“Damn, why do they feel so fierce?”

“Indeed, Xiong Erping’s close-combat ability is not weak. Coupled with his characteristic of gaining more strength the longer the battle lasts, his close-combat ability can completely overwhelm many people.”

“It’s just a pity that his physique ultimately lacks flexibility, making him susceptible to kiting.”

“But look at him now, is he being kited, which is why he’s in this situation?”

“This is clearly him being overwhelmed in close combat by the opponent!”

“Although it’s two against one, those two are only Shi Shen Early Stage!”

Outside the arena, whether in the audience stands or in the virtual Martial Arts Arena’s audience stands, people couldn't help but start discussing.

However, there were voices in the audience stands, while the virtual Martial Arts Arena’s audience could only discuss via bullet comments.

【To defeat Jiang Yuan, do we really have to target Jiang Yuan directly?】

【Who said that? Being suppressed by those two guys is purely because his strength isn't enough.】

【His strength isn't enough? A berserker warrior, though a bit lacking in flexibility, is still considered a top performer in Shi Shen Late Stage, whether in strength or defense!】

【Top performer? A top performer who ranks low on the leaderboard?】

【No, aren’t you from our academy? How did you get in?】

【Your academy opened permissions, so everyone can naturally come in. Otherwise, do you think all the Students from your academy combined amount to more than twenty thousand people?】

The appearance of this bullet comment silenced many people from Zhongyuan Academy.

Speaking of which, it did seem to be the case.

Most of the sixth-year Students were in the Martial Arts Arena’s audience stands.

The remaining five grades, with about three thousand people per grade, indeed did not add up to twenty thousand.

Did Old Principal open permissions?

This wasn't something to show off about...

Many sixth-year Students from Zhongyuan Academy felt ashamed.

However, on the other hand, if Jiang Yuan really cleared the sixth-year leaderboard, it seemed like something worth showing off for Old Principal.

The bullet comments stopped discussing.

Or rather, the people from Zhongyuan Academy stopped discussing.

Everyone’s gaze returned to the Martial Arts Arena.

In the Martial Arts Arena, Jiang Yuan and Old Jun stood behind, their faces calm as they watched the battle ahead.

Nezha was not in a hurry to use the third arrow of Zhentian Arrow, but instead charged towards Xiong Erping again.

Xiong Erping no longer had the initial disdain for the two of them. His eyes were fixed on Nezha with a serious expression, while his peripheral vision also kept track of Zhao Gongming’s position.

Indeed, only after fighting do you realize that a great reputation is never unfounded!

Xiong Erping looked at Nezha. Nezha’s combat skills were self-evident; he knew from these two encounters that they were definitely superior to his own.

But the problem was, Nezha’s strength wasn't much weaker than his either!

The force of that arrow just now was truly terrifying.

And there was that guy named Zhao Gongming over there; his strength felt even greater than Nezha’s. Although he had successfully blocked one of his attacks, his back was still a bit numb.

One must know, he was wearing armor.

Purple quality heavy armor, its defense was absolutely unquestionable.

But even so, it still made him feel it.

Are these Card Spirits so strong?

Can a Shi Shen Early Stage compare to him, a Shi Shen Late Stage who specializes in strength?

You brat must have cheated!

Xiong Erping couldn’t even spare a glance for Jiang Yuan at this moment, because Nezha was already face-to-face.

After all, both their weapons were long weapons. Nezha’s other two hands with swords couldn’t reach him.

Otherwise, he estimated there would be quite a few wounds on his body.

He was thinking wildly in his mind while exerting all his strength to resist Nezha’s attacks.

After several rounds of clashing, Xiong Erping was suddenly startled.

Did he forget something?

Zhao Gongming!

A purple card glowed, and after three rapid slashes temporarily forced Nezha back, Xiong Erping quickly began to search for Zhao Gongming’s figure.

Behind!

Feeling the strong wind coming from behind, Xiong Erping was startled and quickly turned around.

But what greeted him was a completely black tiger!

“Above!”

In the audience stands, Xiong Erping’s friend couldn’t help but shout.

But unfortunately, his voice couldn’t pass through the Martial Arts Arena to Xiong Erping’s ears.

Zhao Gongming, in the air, had a mysterious black light shining on his Steel Whip, which he directly smashed down towards Xiong Erping.

Xiong Erping’s long blade had just parried the black tiger’s pounce and was completely unable to block Zhao Gongming from above.

And at this moment, Nezha’s third arrow also shot out.

A certain kill!

The thought had just flashed through Xiong Erping’s mind when, the next second, the armor on his body erupted into a physical barrier.

Then it was shattered by the Steel Whip!

However, it did manage to block Zhao Gongming’s attack.

But...

There was still the Zhentian Arrow!

After forcefully pushing the black tiger away, two purple cards glowed, and two layers of barriers appeared behind Xiong Erping.

But an Energy barrier?

Nezha’s lips curled into a smile. The Zhentian Arrow seemed to be in another space, calmly passing through the two layers of defense barriers and hitting Xiong Erping.

The Zhentian Arrow pierced through his chest, but Xiong Erping was not worried.

After all, he had reshaped his body. Just piercing through the chest was not fatal.

That’s what Xiong Erping thought.

He even specifically turned his body slightly, letting the arrow hit his right chest.

But when the arrow hit, in addition to the direct damage from the projectile itself, there was also massive damage from the skill.

The skill’s damage directly opened a hole in Xiong Erping’s chest.

Or rather, the terrifying damage hitting his flesh directly emptied half of Xiong Erping’s body.

The battle ended, the Martial Arts Arena disappeared, and Xiong Erping, who appeared on the stage, looked puzzled.

He hadn't seen that half of his body was gone.

So he didn't understand why he was directly judged to be dead.

Jiang Yuan had no intention of explaining anything to him. Of course, Jiang Yuan didn't know what his thoughts were.

However, defeating a Shi Shen Late Stage Student head-on in a battle, and without him even making a move, made Jiang Yuan quite happy.

If the subsequent battles were all like this, not requiring him to act, that would be wonderful.

Jiang Yuan happily looked at the virtual screen in front of him and continued to book his next opponent.

【Why was that guy’s defensive Skill Card useless just now?】

【It felt like another space, as if the two sides weren’t on the same plane, so it naturally had no effect.】

【!!!???】

【Could it be a rare space-attribute skill?】

【A purple card with a space attribute? Not common, right?】

【No, don’t you know he’s a Card Creator?】

【No, what kind of Card Creator can create a purple quality space-attribute Skill Card?】

【Exactly, why don’t you say he can create a purple quality time-attribute Skill Card?】

【If it’s not space-attribute, then how do you explain the arrow that passed through two defensive barriers without any hindrance just now?】

【...】

【......】

There was nothing to say, because they didn’t understand either.

【It must be some special weapon effect.】

Old Principal looked at the series of ellipses in the bullet comments and couldn't help but send a message.

【What kind of weapon effect is that special?】

【Tell us, we’re very curious.】

Looking at the group of people asking questions in the bullet comments, Old Principal just chuckled and had no intention of answering.

He probably guessed the effect of Jiang Yuan’s two weapon combinations.

After all, he had watched so many of Jiang Yuan’s battles.

Besides, he had seen one weapon with similar characteristics before.

However, after the death of that old friend, that weapon also disappeared.

If a time-space store ever appeared in the Human Race World, that weapon might see the light of day again.

Both were long-range weapons, both capable of ignoring obstacles between two points.

What a terrifying young man.

Old Principal stroked his beard with a smile, but then reacted the next second.

“Wait, isn’t this weapon trait supposed to be for the same level? They seem to be two minor realms apart!”

“It still works?”

Old Principal looked at Jiang Yuan with some surprise.

“Indeed, the younger generation is formidable.”

Thinking of his old friend, the weapon in his hand also had the same characteristic, but it only worked against opponents of the same realm.

Moreover, that weapon was a red quality card!

Unlike Jiang Yuan’s, which was directly a purple quality card.

For some skills, the lower the card quality, the stronger the Card Creator’s ability.

It’s like how space-attribute Skill Cards basically don’t have purple quality.

Because purple quality cards cannot withstand space attributes.

However, nothing is absolute. He had seen a purple quality space-attribute card once.

But...

Still, the same old saying: difficult.

So difficult that it’s almost impossible to replicate.

Of course, Backpack Card doesn't count.

Backpack Card was purely made by some big shot who used brute force, forcibly twisting some characteristics.

Simply put, it’s similar to a Sealed Card.

The principle is to embed a safe card within the card.

Or rather, to create a safe card.

That’s why this card is called a Backpack Card, not a pure space card.

“However, this card also seems to have space characteristics.”

Watching Jiang Yuan enter the arena again, ready to fight, Old Principal also took out the purple quality card he often fiddled with.

Seventy-Two Transformations - False Form!

“Although it can also be considered a twisted characteristic, this can be considered touching the edge of a space card.”

“However, isn't there a white quality version of this card?”

Old Principal was a bit disheveled. Although he often prided himself on being a genius.

But compared to Jiang Yuan...

Hmm, no big deal. He was a genius in terms of strength, Jiang Yuan was a genius in card creation.

No conflict.

After comforting himself, Old Principal once again began to leisurely watch Jiang Yuan’s battle.

Nothing to do today, so I’ll go to a brothel... No, I’ll watch Jiang Yuan fight.

Let’s see if Jiang Yuan really has a chance to reach the top.

“Haha, there’s a stubborn one.”

Seeing that Jiang Yuan’s current opponent still hadn’t used the [Shadow Duel] card, Old Principal couldn’t help but laugh.

“Nezha and Zhao Gongming’s combat power, even I might not be a match for them at the same level.”

Old Principal cupped his chin and began to ponder.

If he encountered Jiang Yuan in the Sixth Realm, whether in the Shi Shen Early Stage, middle, or Shi Shen Late Stage, how could he defeat him?

In the arena, Nezha and Zhao Gongming were very excited. Together with the black tiger, they charged directly towards the opponent.

This opponent was not a power type like Xiong Erping; instead, he was very agile.

He was very fast, blocking Nezha and Zhao Gongming’s attacks while looking for an opportunity to charge towards Jiang Yuan.

“Now’s the time!”

Soon, he found an opportunity.

He threw a piece of wood forward, then used False Shape to change positions.

After dodging Nezha and Zhao Gongming’s attacks, Jiang Yuan also entered his attack range!
