455: 【Dinghai Shenzhu】Card making failed! (asking for monthly ticket)

The Netherlight Energy within Claudirong's body was instantly detonated, directly slaying Claudirong and ending the battle.

"Defense, that strong?"

"Claudirong's burst output is incredibly terrifying, yet even so, he still couldn't break through the defense of that golden miniature pagoda on his body!"

"Quail Fire Initial Stage fighting Quail Head Late Stage, a full-power strike, yet unable to even break through the opponent's defense?"

"Beast Tamer Card Masters are like that; one aspect is the strength of their Beast, and the other is their own defensive capability."

Seeing that Claudirong's attack couldn't harm Jiang Yuan, the people of various races on the Giant Stone Plains couldn't help but fall silent.

Honestly, quite a lot of people were paying attention to their match.

It was precisely because of this that when they saw Claudirong also failed to defeat Jiang Yuan, and even failed to pose any threat to Jiang Yuan, they reacted this way.

Compared to other races, the Angel Clan people were even more puzzled.

"Did you use your special ability?"

"I did!"

Claudirong was also full of frustration: "It's precisely because I used it and still didn't cause him any damage that I was so surprised."

"Used it?"

The other Angel Clan members who were relatively familiar with Claudirong were also stunned at this moment.

"That shouldn't be. Don't tell me he has Quail Fire Middle Stage defensive strength?"

"Quail Fire Middle Stage defensive strength wouldn't be enough either. Claudirong's attack using his special ability is completely sufficient to break through Quail Fire Middle Stage red quality defensive equipment!"

"Of course, that's for those not specialized in defense."

Another Angel Clan member quickly retorted: "Although as a Beast Tamer Card Master, he is indeed relatively good at defense, but isn't this defensive power too terrifying?"

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Do you understand what was going on with that skill that finally killed you?"

"I don't know."

Claudirong shook his head: "I'm also completely bewildered."

After Claudirong finished speaking, the Angel Clan people couldn't help but fall silent.

"Actually, to be honest, I really wanted to earn this bounty," Mu Qianshan said with a smile, looking at Jiang Yuan.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, even if others know about Shi Ji's skill, there are absolutely no defensive measures against it."

Jiang Yuan spread his hands with a smile: "If the bounty is high, you can totally use this to make money."

"Then forget it, it's not very high."

Mu Qianshan pouted: "It's meaningless."

"I don't know who set the bounty, and they didn't even set a high price."

"Just a red quality Skill Card, and not even an S-grade or A-grade one."

Mu Qianshan shook his head slightly, and Jiang Yuan also laughed.

Speaking of which, not many people knew about Shi Ji's Netherlight skill.

And most of them were Jiang Yuan's classmates in the early stages, who might have generally known the function and usage of Shi Ji's skill.

However, none of those early classmates were able to come to this Ten Thousand Clans Martial Arts Tournament.

So, in fact, only Mu Qianshan and Li Yueying knew about the effect of Shi Ji's skill.

Of course, neither of them would reveal the effect of this skill for a red quality Skill Card.

Aside from anything else, Jiang Yuan winning one match now means a steady two A-grade red quality Skill Cards.

If Jiang Yuan failed to win the next battle due to the leakage of information, the loss would be too great.

Actually, to be fair, even if the situation were leaked, there would be no problem at all.

Shi Ji's Netherlight skill is actually not very strong.

Especially since it requires too much time.

There is no ability that can accelerate this time; one can only wait for it to self-detonate.

And unless the detonation damage can kill the opponent, it's merely a poisoning effect, which isn't very significant.

The key lies in the Curse skill that appeared after the quality of the Shi Ji card was raised to red quality.

Because this skill can weaken the opponent's defense and speed—speed aside—being able to weaken the opponent's defense can significantly reduce the time it takes for Netherlight to detonate and slay the opponent.

After all, Netherlight is also a damage skill; once the accumulated toxin Energy in the body exceeds the target's defense, detonation can directly result in a kill.

Weakening defense is an indirect way of accelerating the detonation time.

This is what allowed Shi Ji's skill to be useful.

Otherwise, it would be like before, where Nezha would have already killed the opponent five or six times before Shi Ji's Netherlight could accumulate enough to directly kill the opponent.

That would be completely meaningless.

Unlike now, it only takes one-fifth of the previous time to accumulate enough Energy to kill the opponent.

"You've finished your finals early; it should be easy from now on, right?"

"More or less."

Jiang Yuan nodded: "There aren't any particularly strong opponents left now."

And indeed, just as Jiang Yuan said, none of the subsequent opponents were a match for Jinwu, even though Shi Ji didn't even appear.

Even in the finals, facing the Giant Race, Jinwu's Sun True Fire still enveloped their entire body, leading to their death.

Thus, Jiang Yuan achieved the final victory in the Quail Fire Initial Stage battlefield!

"Kill list, move him to the top."

Similar words echoed almost simultaneously among various races.

Looking at Jiang Yuan, who had transcended a major realm and still achieved ultimate victory, without even going all out.

All races reached a consensus at this moment.

Jiang Yuan must not be allowed to return to the Human Race World alive!

Such a talented Student must die here!

And the first place on the kill list means at all costs!

Jiang Yuan didn't know about the affairs of other races, but even if he did, he wouldn't care.

Should he not acquire the spoils of war he could obtain now, for the sake of future dangers?

Furthermore, the other party had already added him to the top of the kill list; his sharpness had already been revealed, and hiding it further would be meaningless.

Even if he announced his withdrawal now, it wouldn't cancel others' apprehension towards him.

So, after the battle ended, Jiang Yuan directly chose to continue challenging upwards.

He also wanted to see how far he could go!

"An S-grade red quality Skill Card. Will the next cross-level challenge give an Equipment Card or a Cultivation Technique Card or something? They can't possibly give a golden quality card, right?"

After choosing to continue the challenge, today's battles concluded.

After it ended, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but smile, looking at the S-grade red quality Skill Card in his hand.

Although it was of no use to him, it was still an S-grade red quality Skill Card after all.

Selling it for money was also a very good option.

As the second day dawned, Jiang Yuan rubbed his face, making himself sober.

He had actually failed at Card crafting last night.

It was a bit of a headache.

Is the Twenty-Four Dinghai Divine Pearl that difficult to craft?

He had finally managed to collect seven red quality cards, but in the end, they all turned into red light spots and disappeared.

"Sigh."

Life is hard, cat sighs.

After shaking his head and shaking off the psychological shadow of the failed Card crafting, Jiang Yuan prepared to get up.

Today, he aimed to win more battles, guaranteeing at least seventeen or eighteen red quality Skill Cards.

Although crafting the Dinghai Divine Pearl only required three Skill Cards, the others were all various Material Cards.

However, two S-grade red quality Skill Cards could definitely be exchanged for one S-grade red quality Material Card.

He might even be seen as a big spender.

One should know that Material Cards are less valuable than Skill Cards.

If categorized by value, it should be Material Cards lowest, then Skill Cards, then Equipment Cards, and the best being Cultivation Technique Cards.

Although Equipment Cards also come in many types, the general classification is as such.

"How are your preparations for today's Quail Fire Middle Stage battle?"

"No major issues."

After coming out to the gathering place, Li Yueying asked Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly: "It's just a matter of seeing whether Zhao Gongming or Nezha appears today."

The strength of the Quail Fire Middle Stage was actually alright.

After all, when he had just broken through to the Quail Head Middle Stage, Nezha and Zhao Gongming were still purple quality cards, and they had already been able to clear some stages.

Although they were stuck for a bit at the end, once he broke through from Quail Head Middle Stage to Quail Head Late Stage, with their purple quality cards, they were already able to clear the Quail Fire Middle Stage difficulty.

Now their card qualities had all been upgraded to red quality, and their combat power had increased significantly.

He figured the Quail Fire Middle Stage shouldn't be very difficult.

Most likely, he wouldn't need all of his Card Spirits to be deployed.

Of course, it wasn't certain.

What if he encountered a very powerful Quail Fire Middle Stage Student?

To ensure victory, deploying all of them would be fine.

As Jiang Yuan spoke, Mu Qianshan also arrived quickly.

"Please keep an eye out for these seven cards for me."

"Hmm?"

Mu Qianshan was stunned after glancing at the message Jiang Yuan sent, then immediately reacted.

"Card crafting failed?"

"Yes."

Jiang Yuan nodded, yawning: "I stayed up all night yesterday, but I still can't figure out where I went wrong."

"It's still these seven cards. Let's collect them first, and then see which cards still need to be replaced."

"Alright."

Mu Qianshan nodded, and Li Yueying also smiled and patted Jiang Yuan's shoulder.

"It's just one Card crafting failure, a small problem. Work hard in today's battle, and those seven cards will be back very soon."

"Your teacher, I, also fail often."

"I'm fine."

Jiang Yuan spread his hands with a smile: "The first time I tried Card crafting, I succeeded, but the second time I failed. I could endure that setback, let alone the current failure."

As Jiang Yuan spoke, the ancient bell chime in the sky rang out again.

Li Yueying also didn't speak further, smiling and nodding at Jiang Yuan before watching him disappear from her sight.

Jiang Yuan had already entered the first battle of the Quail Fire Middle Stage.

"Kid, you're lucky. You ran into me in the first battle."

Hearing what the other party said, Jiang Yuan was actually a bit surprised.

Indeed, he didn't expect to encounter a First Sequence Race Student in the first match.

A Giant Demon Clan Student.

But looking at his physique, he should be a ranged attacker from the Giant Demon Clan.

He just didn't know what type.

Was he a Giant Demon Witch skilled in strong offense, or a Giant Demon Priest skilled in buffs and Curses?

But it didn't matter who it was; it wasn't a big problem.

Jiang Yuan merely glanced at him, not intending to speak.

After defeating him, he could just let him eat his own words.

The Giant Demon Clan Student saw that Jiang Yuan didn't speak, and a look of displeasure appeared on his face.

Soon, the countdown ended, and the battle began.

Five red quality cards appeared in Jiang Yuan's hand. As the red quality cards shone, the opponent also unleashed skills towards Jiang Yuan.

Hundreds of black missiles densely flew towards Jiang Yuan, but they all struck the Linglong Pagoda.

It had to be said, the damage in the Quail Fire Middle Stage was already very high.

If he didn't replenish his Star Power, these hundreds of consecutive missile attacks might be enough to break through his Linglong Pagoda with just two skills.

But again, it wasn't a big problem.

Jinwu and Shi Ji had already launched their attacks, and the opponent's target would no longer be on him.

Jiang Yuan, sitting in the Linglong Pagoda, yawned, feeling indeed a bit sleepy.

If it weren't for the combat characteristics of the Ten Thousand Clans Martial Arts Tournament, Jiang Yuan would now want to use a Clone Card and have his Jiang Yuan No. 2 come and fight for him.

Unfortunately, similar to the Martial Arts Arena, a combat venue in another space clearly wouldn't allow Jiang Yuan to do this.

No choice, he had to do it himself.

Just as Jiang Yuan was dozing off, the Troll Witch gained the upper hand.

"Is that all?"

"Is that all?"

"If that's all you've got, then I won't hold back!"

The Troll Witch laughed loudly, the red quality Skill Card in his hand constantly shining.

Let alone the Bone Spirit soldiers, even the physically strong Bone Dragon couldn't withstand the Troll Witch's attacks.

Shi Ji continuously generated Undead, and they were continuously killed by the opponent.

Jinwu in the sky transformed into human form, splitting into four, constantly releasing skills to attack the Troll Witch, but his Sun True Fire was either blocked or dodged.

Basically, he couldn't cause damage to the Troll Witch.

Although for every attack Jinwu launched, the Troll Witch would consume one of his red quality Skill Cards.

However, he had a great many Skill Cards in his hand, and the cooldown time was more than enough for a full cycle.

It was more than enough to block Jinwu's skills.

"Hahaha, finally seeing Jiang Yuan suppressed!"

"Who does he think he is? A cross-level challenge by one minor rank is one thing, but a Quail Head Late Stage actually dares to continue challenging a Quail Fire Middle Stage Student?"

"He deserves to be beaten!"

"Great, with his strength, encountering a First Sequence Race Student in the first round is really bad luck. If he had encountered a Second-Sequence Race Student, he might still have won one match."

"Fortunately, he encountered a First Sequence Race Student in the first round. It really pains me to see him get spoils of war!"

On the Giant Stone Plains, seeing that Jiang Yuan's two summoned creatures were not a match for the Troll Witch, the Students of various races were as happy as if it were New Year's.

In the arena, Shi Ji's eyes were cold as she watched the Troll Witch continuously spew nonsense.

After Finger Elimination blocked an attack, a purplish-red phantom also appeared behind Shi Ji.
