402: The Golden Crow shows its power! Climb to the top first! (asking for monthly ticket)

“Stop spouting nonsense here. If you can do it, you go. If you can't, stop running your mouth.”

Golden Crow’s first words upon appearing instantly made Nezha furious.

It has to be said, Golden Crow is indeed a T0-level Student when it comes to provoking Nezha.

“Let Little Lord show you how I defeat this guy!”

As Golden Crow spoke, he spread his wings and soared into the sky. The Skill Great Sun Ascends was activated, and a sun appeared in the sky, its scorching light illuminating the entire Martial Arts Arena.

Even Wu Ying couldn't help but squint her eyes, looking at the small black bird in the sky with the sun as its backdrop.

“Cooperate with me, kill!”

Golden Crow firmly remembered one thing!

Today was his first appearance, no matter the outcome, his actions had to be cool!

Of course, if he could directly defeat the opponent, that would be even better.

“Kill!”

As Golden Crow’s voice rang out, Golden Crow Light was released, and a large number of black light rays descended from the sky, shooting out like sunspots and converging towards Wu Ying.

At the same time, Old Lord and Jiang Yuan also made their moves.

Jiang Yuan’s first move was one of his most powerful skills, [Light Energy Ray].

The fire-attribute Skill [Light Energy Ray] has a bonus effect under the Great Sun Ascends weather condition.

At the same time, Old Lord also made his move. Taiqing Divine Thunder fell, stunning Wu Ying, while Six Ding Divine Fire also transformed into a fire dragon, striking towards Wu Ying.

Although Nezha was somewhat displeased with Golden Crow, he would not drop the ball at such a crucial moment.

Samadhi True Fire was also released, and like Old Lord, it transformed into a fire dragon, charging towards Wu Ying.

After releasing Golden Crow Light, Golden Crow in the sky instantly split into four.

The next second, [Light Energy Ray] formed by Sun True Fire was also released.

Because it split into four, four [Light Energy Ray]s were also shot out.

A large number of attacks headed towards Wu Ying. Due to being stunned, Wu Ying was already unable to use cards to dodge.

She could only rely on the purple-quality defensive card she had just used and the purple-quality defensive equipment on her body to withstand Jiang Yuan and their attacks.

But clearly, these alone were not enough.

Three purple-quality defensive barriers exploded almost instantly.

Although the purple-quality defensive equipment on her body resisted for a longer time, it was clearly unable to withstand the assault.

Apart from Jiang Yuan, whether it was Nezha’s Samadhi True Fire, Old Lord’s Six Ding Divine Fire, or Golden Crow’s Sun True Fire, they all dealt terrifying damage.

Plus the increased power of fire-attribute skills boosted by Great Sun Ascends.

With this onslaught, let alone a Shi Shen Late Stage, even a Quail Head would probably not be able to withstand it.

Unless the opponent had some invincible type of card or trait.

Clearly, Wu Ying’s trait was attack-based.

As for defensive Skill Cards, although she still had some, they were completely unable to withstand so many attacks.

What’s more, Old Lord’s timing was even more cunning, and Wu Ying simply didn't have time to use more defensive cards.

However, the stun duration of Taiqing Divine Thunder was not very long after all.

Of course, the vast difference in strength between Wu Ying and Jiang Yuan was also a reason.

The moment her purple-quality defensive equipment shattered, facing Zhao Gongming's Steel Whip, Wu Ying once again used two purple-quality cards.

[Ring of Repulsion] pushed Zhao Gongming away, while [Wind Transformation] dodged the attacks from Nezha and Golden Crow.

The Skill [Wind Transformation] allows the user to become a wisp of clear wind.

A clear wind is light, and any wind brought by an attack could potentially blow it to other places.

Not to mention the expanding gases carried by flames.

Using the Skill [Wind Transformation], Wu Ying quickly pulled away.

Looking at Zhao Gongming, Nezha, Golden Crow, Jiang Yuan, Shi Ji, and Old Lord on the opposite side, Wu Ying also frowned slightly.

There were still three seconds left. Once [Fake Form] cooled down, she could stall for more time and see if she could defeat Jiang Yuan.

Indeed, when fighting Jiang Yuan, targeting Jiang Yuan himself was the better option.

His Card Spirits were too troublesome.

If it weren't for her own wide variety and large number of cards, she might have already been defeated by Zhao Gongming and Nezha.

Now, Golden Crow was added to the mix.

They were well aware of Golden Crow’s combat power, as Huang Huanqing had already proven Golden Crow’s strength.

“Seriously, Golden Crow is too cool, I want a Golden Crow too.”

In a virtual viewing room, Zhan Youqing excitedly said to Huang Huanqing beside her.

“He said he’d make me mech cards, but he still owes me five sets now!”

“How infuriating!”

“You think, if it takes him a long time to make them, can I ask him to make me a Golden Crow too?”

Huang Huanqing shrugged: “I don’t know about that. You can discuss it with him then.”

As soon as the two finished speaking, their gazes at the arena suddenly widened in surprise.

In the arena, Wu Ying, who had just dodged a fatal attack, was still calculating her cards, pondering how to counter-kill Jiang Yuan, when suddenly a sword pierced through her chest.

Wu Ying instinctively looked up.

Zhao Gongming, Nezha, Golden Crow, Jiang Yuan, Shi Ji, and Old Lord!

They were all there?

Then who was it?

Wu Ying’s eyes darted backward, and a beautiful face came into view.

Shi Ji?

Wasn't she next to Jiang Yuan?

Wu Ying was puzzled. After exiting the Martial Arts Arena, she immediately went to Jiang Yuan and asked him.

“Why was Shi Ji behind me just now?”

“I clearly saw her next to you!”

“Illusion.”

Facing Wu Ying’s question, Jiang Yuan merely smiled lightly.

“Illusion?”

“Oh, right, Shi Ji did use illusion-type skills.”

“What a pity.”

Wu Ying was a bit annoyed, but she wasn't a sore loser.

After understanding how she lost, she directly extended her right hand to Jiang Yuan.

“Congratulations, you’ve reached the top!”

“Thank you.”

Jiang Yuan smiled slightly and shook Wu Ying’s hand.

As their hands clasped together, the audience in the arena erupted in thunderous cheers.

“He really did it!”

“Shi Shen Early Stage, defeated all Sixth Realm Solid Star Middle Stage and Shi Shen Late Stage Students, successfully reaching the top!”

“That’s amazing, such terrifying combat power, is this what Card Spirit are?!”

“He’s so fierce, I wish I could be half as good as him someday.”

Cheers and applause erupted in the arena. Jiang Yuan smiled and waved to the crowd before directly leaving.

It was just a bit too enthusiastic.

He couldn't handle it.

Seeing Jiang Yuan's somewhat fleeing appearance, Mu Qianshan couldn't help but chuckle.

However, he quickly got up and followed Mu Qianshan out.

Although Jiang Yuan left, the discussions about him did not end.

Whether it was the audience in the arena or the bullet comments in the virtual Martial Arts Arena, everyone was constantly discussing Jiang Yuan.

And where was Jiang Yuan at this moment?

He didn't go to claim the reward for being first on the sixth-grade ranking list; instead, he went straight home.

Although today was the last day, the rewards could not be claimed today.

After the rankings were finalized at the end of today, the rewards could be claimed tomorrow.

Or rather, the rewards would be directly issued.

After all, sometimes people are not at school when rewards are issued, and the school can't just not issue the rewards.

Of course, one could also claim them oneself, just like Jiang Yuan claimed the fifth-grade ranking reward.

That was when the reward had already been issued, but it hadn't yet reached Jiang Yuan's hands, and Jiang Yuan simply claimed it along the way.

It's like a package being delivered to your door, but you go and pick it up yourself first.

“What are you planning to do next?”

Mu Qianshan quickly caught up to Jiang Yuan and asked him.

“Go back and see if Liu Huaqiang has finished opening his cards. Once he’s done, I need to start making some cards.”

Jiang Yuan smiled and patted Mu Qianshan’s shoulder: “You should also start getting busy soon. If there are some cards you don’t have, I’ll need your help to find them.”

“Alright, that’s a small problem.”

“But, can you reveal what cards you’ll be making next?”

“I’ll finish making all the Seventy-Two Transformations series first, since there are still about ten or so cards left.”

“Then there are the mech cards for Zhan Youqing, Old Lord’s weapon cards, and so on.”

Jiang Yuan thought for a moment before telling Mu Qianshan.

Of course, this was just what he thought of so far.

As for what he thought of later, he would make them later.

He would decide when he thought of them.

However, there was indeed one type of card he hadn’t told Mu Qianshan about.

Bonding Cards!

Let’s just call them that for now.

After all, they were specifically for creating bonds for his main cards.

For example, Shi Ji’s two servants.

For example, Zhao Gongming’s Three Xiao Goddesses.

For example, Nezha’s weapons…

Hmm, weapons and such can be made directly, no need for Bonding Cards.

After all, weapons can genuinely increase combat power.

Also, Old Lord’s Green Ox, this also doesn't need a Bonding Card. If it's made as Old Lord's mount, it still needs to be made into a Summoning Card.

However, Old Lord also said that he would make this card himself, and it didn't need any other special functions, as long as it fulfilled the purpose of a mount card.

As for the others, he would think about them later.

Maybe he would remember when he saw some material cards.

“That works too.”

Mu Qianshan nodded: “Just send me any cards you need, and I’ll find them for you.”

“Alright.”

“I’ll also challenge the ranking list these two days and see how far I can get.”

“Alright.”

Jiang Yuan smiled, looking at the sky that was already starting to dim: “Besides making cards, this period will probably be about improving my strength.”

“You need to work hard too, or else when I break through to the Seventh Realm, I won’t take you with me when I go out.”

“Ha, how could that be? Leaving everything else aside, my talent in cultivation is quite good.”

The two spoke as they entered Jiang Yuan’s home.

Liu Huaqiang had successfully broken through in the afternoon and was now a Sixth Realm Shi Shen (Early Stage) Student.

And it seemed like he was almost done opening his cards.

After Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan returned, they didn't intend to disturb him, but quietly waited for him to continue opening cards.

Liu Huaqiang’s card opening speed was still very fast.

Jiang Yuan wasn't idle either. After manifesting Nezha and Old Lord, he also began making cards.

He started with the mech cards for which he had all the materials.

He had put Zhan Youqing off for so long, it was time to deliver.

He would start by making the Five Elements Armor.

Jiang Yuan began to work diligently, and Liu Huaqiang was also diligently trying to crack the Backpack Card.

Only Mu Qianshan felt a bit idle.

“Stop swaying, what exactly do you want to do?”

Mu Qianshan kept swaying, which made Nezha, who was playing a game with Golden Crow, somewhat annoyed.

The virtual reality game allowed Golden Crow’s bird wings to fight against Nezha.

Because it was a one-on-one fighting game similar to King of Fighters, the two of them were quite excited playing it.

It was just that Mu Qianshan next to them kept swaying, which made them feel a bit irritated.

“I’m bored, I don’t know what to do?”

Mu Qianshan spread his hands, speaking with some helplessness.

They all had things to do, only he was completely idle.

Nezha and Golden Crow were playing games, Zhao Gongming was grooming Black Tiger, Shi Ji was decorating Bone Spirit, and Old Lord was also researching how to refine pills.

Only he was a complete idler.

“Can you cook? Why don’t you cook for us?” Nezha thought for a moment, then pointed to the kitchen and said to Mu Qianshan.

“Eating is fine, but cooking is impossible.”

Mu Qianshan decisively shook his head. What a joke, he was the young master of the Town Sea Mu Family!

How could he cook?

Speaking of Town Sea, in the Town Sea military camp at this moment, Qin Boyuan and Wang Hean, after watching Jiang Yuan’s battle, couldn't help but feel some emotion.

“The young man who walked out of Town Sea back then has now grown to this extent.”

“Indeed. Speaking of which, I even taught him the Beast Tamer Card Master fighting style back then.”

Wang Hean laughed: “But now looking at the combat power of his Card Spirits, I always feel like I might have misled him back then.”

“Haha, you certainly did mislead him. If it weren’t for your guidance, perhaps he wouldn’t have had the idea of fighting himself at all.”

Qin Boyuan laughed: “In that case, when he broke through to the Sixth Realm and awakened his trait, it would most likely be a trait that enhances the combat power of his Card Spirits, not the current one.”

As one of the military bigwigs, Qin Boyuan had naturally seen many traits.

Jiang Yuan had many battles, and after one battle after another, he quickly guessed what Jiang Yuan’s trait was.

Although it wasn’t very accurate, it was generally correct.

“Indeed, I was presumptuous back then, thinking that Card Spirit and beast taming were similar.”

Wang Hean sighed helplessly: “After all, I’m getting old. I can’t avoid the tendency to be a know-it-all in my old age.”

“Don’t say that, didn’t you also teach me?”

Qin Boyuan smiled, then changed the subject: “Jiang Yuan’s strength has indeed improved very quickly. I just don’t know how far he can improve in the remaining three months.”

“If you ask me, with his combat power, even if he only improves one level in three months, reaching Sixth Realm Solid Star Middle Stage, he could be invited to participate in battles.”

“After all, his combat power is terrifying, he can be treated as a Seventh Realm, Chunshou Initial Stage.”

“Alright then, we’ll contact him then. He can’t possibly fail to break through a small rank in three months, can he?”
