401: The Golden Crow appears! (asking for monthly ticket)

“He’s a bit troublesome, this guy,” Old Principal couldn’t help but say when he saw Nezha and Zhao Gongming frozen in the sky.

“Indeed, this guy has a lot of Skill Cards, he’s practically an enhanced version of Li Chengyi,” Jiang Yuan also nodded and said.

Li Chengyi was the top student in the fifth grade previously.

He was also a full-element Mage.

However, it’s unknown what Li Chengyi’s 특질 (trait) is.

There are some online guesses about the special characteristics of the person in front of them.

He can enhance the bonus effects of various skills.

For example, the duration of freezing, or the chance of burning for fire-attribute skills, etc.

However, according to speculation, his 특질 (trait) has another effect.

That is, it can enhance the power of skills.

Judging by the speculated effects, Wu Ying’s 특질 (trait) and Zifu Sword’s Yin-Yang conversion are similar, both can only have one effect at a time.

But even so, it’s still very strong.

For skills like [Frozen Aura], he uses the first 특질 (trait) that increases freezing duration.

And for purely offensive skills, he uses the second 특질 (trait) that increases attack damage.

No wonder he was able to reach first place and maintain that position for so long.

It’s just unknown what Li Chengyi’s 특질 (trait) is.

After the breakthrough, the two of them haven’t met yet.

“This guy will probably be very hard to get close to.”

Old Principal nodded, also speaking.

On the field, Nezha’s body had lotus petals falling and flames burning, dispelling the freezing effect on him.

Zhao Gongming did the same, his body shook, and the freezing effect was dispelled.

He wasn't in a hurry to use the [Calamity Aversion] skill to dispel the freezing effect.

After all, this was just a normal freezing effect; if he used it, what if there were stronger crowd control skills later?

Zhao Gongming understood very well that this skill should only be used when delivering a fatal blow to the opponent.

“Should the Golden Crow appear?”

Seeing their attacks once again dodged by Wu Ying, who then widened the distance, Jiang Yuan looked at Old Principal and asked.

To be precise, Nezha and Zhao Gongming still had some trump cards they hadn’t used.

Including himself, too.

However, some trump cards are trump cards precisely because they haven't been exposed to the public eye.

If they were exposed, they would no longer be trump cards.

For example, Nezha’s [Lingzhu Reincarnation].

And Zhao Gongming’s [Calamity Aversion] also counts, but it clearly hasn’t met the skill’s usage conditions yet.

After all, one of the usage conditions for this skill is danger.

Eliminate danger!

Currently, neither of them is in any danger.

They are just being kited, unable to get close to the opponent while their attacks also fail to hit.

They also need to constantly dodge the opponent’s attacks.

One could only say they were at a disadvantage.

“Is that all?”

Wu Ying laughed wildly: “Think about it, Card Assassin An Miao, and Card Master Ji Daolong couldn’t get close and were defeated by me. What makes you think you can?”

“Just because you defeated them?”

Wu Ying sneered: “But you should know, they are also my defeated opponents!”

As Wu Ying spoke, she no longer had one hand in her pocket; a series of cards were released, purple light shone in the air, and various elemental skills rushed towards Nezha and the others.

Three fire-attribute skills, two metal-attribute skills, ice-attribute, water-attribute, lightning-attribute, and so on.

Various skills covered the sky and earth, and Zhao Gongming also chose to dodge.

Nezha’s Huntian Ribbon danced around him, enveloping him within it.

Even Old Principal, Shi Ji, and Jiang Yuan couldn't escape such a large-scale attack, and they all used their defensive skills to block the attacks.

“As expected of the top-ranked guy in our sixth grade, this attack intensity!”

“If his opponent were me, you would definitely not see this scene!”

“Yes, because he only needs to use one skill, and you won’t be able to block it.”

“Go to hell, I can at least block two!”

“Not bad, not bad, but it’s a pity he couldn’t keep up with the last Four School Joint Examination.”

Old Principal nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this scene.

“But then again, the group champion of the Four School Joint Examination is indeed insignificant to him.”

Wu Ying’s family is also very well-off, even wealthier than Zhan Youqing’s family.

But then again, Beast Tamer Card Master and Skill Card Master are both very expensive professions.

If it weren't for the expense, perhaps Nezha and Zhao Gongming wouldn't even exist now.

“This guy, feels stronger than you.”

Ai Xiu also came to the arena today to watch Jiang Yuan’s match.

He had just successfully broken through to Sixth Realm Shi Shen yesterday.

Hmm, although it was a bit sad.

After all, his junior, who was once at the same strength as him, and even weaker than him when the Four School Joint Examination first started, is now already stronger than him.

It seems he was stronger than me right after breaking through?

Thinking of this, Ai Xiu couldn’t help but feel a little dejected.

Now, not only did he break through to the Sixth Realm before him, but he has even reached the second position on the rankings.

If he wins this battle, he'll be first.

And here I was, calling myself a genius.

Ai Xiu chuckled self-deprecatingly; this was the true genius.

What a joke I am!

However, there was also a joke beside him.

Ai Xiu glanced at Li Chengyi, who was looking grim beside him, and couldn't help but feel much more comfortable.

“He is indeed stronger than me.”

Li Chengyi nodded; his special characteristic was very simple, it was purely to enhance the effect of Skill Cards.

He just didn't know if his enhancement effect could be higher than the opponent's?

But obviously, in terms of practicality, it was definitely inferior to the opponent’s special characteristic.

After all, the opponent’s special characteristic had two effects.

“Jiang Yuan’s progress speed is too fast; I can’t even catch up to his back.”

Ai Xiu was a little helpless; he had said he would guide him back then.

But now, he suddenly no longer had the qualifications.

“Relax, he’s a genius, we’re just ordinary commoners.”

Li Chengyi smiled, patting Ai Xiu’s shoulder to comfort him.

He once thought he was a genius, but now he has come to terms with it.

Many of the opponents Jiang Yuan defeated were not ones he could defeat now.

However, as a relatively powerful Skill Card Master, he was still confident that he could break into the top two thousand.

Once he replenished his card count, he could start challenging the rankings then.

The battle on the field continued, Nezha and Zhao Gongming were still two minor ranks below the opponent after all.

Under the opponent’s endless stream of cards, it was difficult to get close.

Especially with the [False Shape] card that Jiang Yuan had made.

Nezha gave Jiang Yuan a somewhat resentful look, which made Jiang Yuan feel a bit awkward.

Mu Qianshan in the audience also chuckled; Nezha looking like this was quite rare.

However, the [False Shape] card was sold by Jiang Yuan, so Nezha wouldn’t be able to blame him.

Mu Qianshan watched the show, but Wu Ying looked at Jiang Yuan again.

“Is that all you’ve got?”

Wu Ying smiled: “If that’s all, you’re not qualified to sit in my position!”

“Die for Little Lord!”

Lotus petals bloomed and shot towards Wu Ying along with the Zhentian Arrow.

This was the third arrow, and also the most powerful one!

Moreover, it was used during the cooldown of [False Shape].

The second arrow earlier was used when Binding Dragon Rope had controlled Wu Ying.

But the opponent broke free from the control, and then [False Shape] ran away.

This time, it won’t work, right?

Without [False Shape], how will you block this arrow of mine!

Facing the whistling Zhentian Arrow, which even left afterimages, Wu Ying showed no sign of panic.

Purple-quality Skill Card [Substitute]!

The target was naturally the [Fire Elemental Giant] skill that had just been used.

Wu Ying was shot in the chest, but he himself showed no reaction; instead, the Fire Elemental Giant in the arena rapidly drained of life, turning into a ball of flame and falling.

Wu Ying’s face showed no change upon seeing this, as he still had elemental giants of other attributes.

However, Jiang Yuan’s eyes lit up; he had successfully replicated the [Fire Elemental Giant] skill just now.

In that case, he would have another life-saving method later.

It’s also a substitute skill, and I also have [False Shape]!

This Martial Arts Arena doesn't have as many objects as the wilderness for him to substitute.

He often used the Linglong Pagoda, but now with the Fire Elemental Giant, he wouldn’t need the Linglong Pagoda.

The Linglong Pagoda is sometimes quite useful; it can't block skills for him.

Moreover, like An Miao before, when the opponent gets in their face, he can directly use [False Shape] to swap positions with the Fire Elemental Giant, and the Fire Elemental Giant can still attack her.

It’s indeed a very good skill.

“Shi Ji, you go too. Let’s see if we need to bring out the Golden Crow later.”

“Alright.”

After Shi Ji nodded, she pointed her Taia Sword, and various Necromancy and illusions were continuously used.

“Illusions?”

After instantly breaking through the illusion, Wu Ying also smiled and looked at Shi Ji.

“My mental strength has reached Seventh Realm Quail Head Middle Stage; this bit of illusion isn’t of much use to me.”

As Wu Ying spoke, he casually swiped his hand in the air, a purple-quality Skill Card shone, and a giant shadow hammer formed in the air, smashing down towards Shi Ji.

Compared to Nezha and Zhao Gongming, Shi Ji’s defense was lower, and she didn’t have many defensive skills.

However, among Shi Ji’s Necromancy skills, there was one called [Undead Exchange].

It allows her to swap positions with any undead.

Of course, she also had a substitute-type skill.

[Undead Sacrifice]: Transfers all damage taken to one or more Bone Spirits, with the Bone Spirits sharing the damage.

Combined with the Bone Spirit Army, this becomes a very terrifying skill.

With thousands of Bone Spirits, what damage can’t be shared?

Furthermore, as long as Jiang Yuan’s Star Power is sufficient, she can continuously summon the Bone Spirit Army.

So, although Shi Ji’s defense isn’t very strong, her life-saving ability is not weak.

It felt like she was being led astray by Jiang Yuan.

After exchanging positions with a Bone Spirit, Shi Ji attacked Wu Ying again.

However, facing Shi Ji, Wu Ying was even more relaxed.

He only needed to continuously release skills to block the skills Shi Ji used.

Wu Ying really liked this kind of skill-draining situation.

At least he didn’t have to run around frantically like when facing Nezha and Zhao Gongming, which was not elegant at all.

After casually blocking Shi Ji’s attack, facing Nezha and Zhao Gongming’s renewed close-quarters assault, Wu Ying sighed helplessly.

Too troublesome!

Their combat power was indeed terrifying, which was why they could reach this point.

However, if this was all they had, it would be useless.

Although he couldn't do anything to them, they likewise couldn't do anything to him.

“Is that all you’ve got? If so, you absolutely can’t defeat me.”

From the beginning until now, from facing Nezha and Zhao Gongming alone to now with the addition of Shi Ji, he still didn't feel any possibility of defeat.

“So strong, it’s the first time I’ve seen Wu Ying like this.”

“No, Wu Ying like this? It’s the first time I’ve seen Jiang Yuan fight for so long with both sides still evenly matched.”

“Both are strong. Although their strength feels similar, I always feel like we’re already people from two different worlds.”

“Same strength?”

“Jiang Yuan is only in the Shi Shen Early Stage now. I can’t even imagine how abnormal his combat power will be when he breaks through to Shi Shen Late Stage.”

“Challenging higher ranks is as easy as eating and drinking.”

“Two terrifying guys, I can’t even imagine how they acquired their combat power.”

“You're not supposed to imagine it; if you could, you wouldn’t be here watching them fight with us.”

“If this is all you’ve got, I advise you to surrender early; don’t waste time here.”

In the arena, Wu Ying spoke again, and Jiang Yuan looked at Old Principal.

Old Principal nodded slightly: “Together?”

“Alright.”

As Jiang Yuan spoke, the Golden Crow card appeared in his hand.

“There’s a new card?”

“No way, a new Card Spirit, or a Skill Card?”

“A Skill Card, right!”

Seeing another purple card appear in Jiang Yuan’s hand, the audience immediately erupted.

“Jiang Yuan wouldn’t really pull out another Summoning Card, would he?”

At this moment, An Miao and Ji Daolong were also very nervous.

After all, if the card in Jiang Yuan’s hand was still a Summoning Card, then it would mean that Jiang Yuan hadn’t used his full strength when fighting against the two of them.

He even had the reserve to hide a Card Spirit!

So, that battle where he thought he almost won, was it just an illusion the opponent gave him?

Watching the black little bird appear in the arena, An Miao and Ji Daolong also fell silent.

They originally thought they weren't far from the opponent.

But later they realized that it was the result of the opponent deliberately hiding his strength.

He hid a portion of his combat power and still crushed them.

He really went easy on them!

Purple light shone in Jiang Yuan’s hand, and the Golden Crow also appeared in the arena, letting out an excited cry.

Upon seeing the Golden Crow appear, Wu Ying’s expression couldn’t help but change.

This guy really has a trump card!

“This, the Golden Crow? Isn’t this Huang Huanqing’s beast? Why did he also change to a Beast Tamer Card Master?”

In the audience, someone asked, puzzled, after seeing the Golden Crow.

After all, Huang Huanqing’s Golden Crow was quite famous.

And now, a Golden Crow also appeared in Jiang Yuan’s hand?

Among them…

“You’re no good either! Watch Little Lord!”
