Chapter 117 Victory, Obtain Three Purple Cards

Li Yaoling glanced sideways at Gu Ye, his face full of arrogance and disdain. His tone was casual and dismissive, carrying a sense of condescending charity:

"I will suppress my cultivation to the Silver First Rank, lest others say I am bullying the weak and winning unfairly."

Gu Ye sneered, his tone full of undisguised mockery, his cold gaze fixed directly on the other party:

"No need. Just use your full strength. It will let me see exactly how much weight a top student from Star Refining University carries."

Hearing this, anger surged in Li Yaoling's eyes, and he shouted angrily:

"Lava Fire Dragon!"

"Cracking Fire Rock Eagle!"

"Come out! Crush him for me."

Two intense flashes of fire erupted from his body, condensing and taking shape in mid-air.

One was a Western fire dragon with a dark red body and fleshy wings; its scales were scorching, and sparks sprayed from its mouth and nose.

The other was a fierce eagle with feathers burning with flames and a bright red crest on its head. As its wings flapped, waves of heat washed over them.

Li Yaoling crossed his arms, his eyes contemptuous as he swept a glance at Gu Ye, his tone becoming increasingly arrogant:

"Don't say I'm bullying you. I'm not even using my main deck. These two summoned beasts alone are enough to easily crush you."

Zhu Mancang, standing to the side, saw this and wished he could crawl into a crack in the ground. He covered his face and wailed inwardly:

"What was I thinking bringing him along? Stop talking, or we won't be able to leave later."

Gu Ye carefully observed the two summoned creatures and finally summoned his five capable lieutenants.

Why fight one-on-one when you can gang up on them!

"Zhang Fei! Daiyu! Red Wolf! weather magic cube! Human Armor Willow Crab!"

"Kid, your Master Liu is here!"

"You..."

Seeing that Gu Ye completely disregarded martial ethics, Li Yaoling's face darkened for a moment.

At this moment, the three Card Masters watching from the sidelines were no longer focused on the battle between the two, but were observing the Human Armor Willow Crab.

"Such high intelligence!"

"Looking at its vivid demeanor, its spirituality must be at least 5 stars or higher."

"Director Zhu, is my nephew doing alright?" Ning Shijun asked calmly.

Hearing this, Zhu Mancang put on a flattering expression:

"Mr. Ning's nephew, Gu Ye, is truly a dragon among men, a peerless prodigy. He is in a class of his own among the freshmen at Star Refining University."

Ning Shijun nodded faintly and said no more.

On the battlefield, Gu Ye gave an order, his tone decisive: "General Yide, take down that fire lizard first!"

Before his voice had even faded, the five cards moved in unison, charging toward the fire dragon and rock eagle in the air with fierce momentum.

Li Yaoling was full of disdain, arms crossed, waiting for Gu Ye to lose, wanting to see the miserable sight of him being torn apart by his summoned beasts.

"I am Zhang Yide, Man of Yan! Who dares to fight me to the death?"

Zhang Fei activated the skill Roar I!

However, his target was not the two beasts above.

An invisible mental restraint instantly enveloped Li Yaoling, sealing his movements and spiritual energy circulation, leaving him frozen in place, unable to move.

"What..."

Li Yaoling was stunned. Before he could react, Zhang Fei's eighteen-foot serpent spear was already drawn. The cold light of the spear tip was sharp, and it was held steadily against his neck, the sharpness making his skin tighten.

"How do you want to die?"

Gu Ye walked forward slowly, his tone contemptuous. Looking at the unconvinced Li Yaoling, he added calmly, "Some people wouldn't want to renege on a bet, would they? That doesn't seem like the behavior of a top student from Star Refining University."

The sentence left Li Yaoling speechless. His cheeks flushed red, his eyes widened, but under the pressure of the serpent spear, he had to lower his head and concede.

Gu Ye smiled and reached out, his tone calm: "A bet is a bet. Hand it over."

Li Yaoling snorted coldly, his face full of unwillingness, but he still slapped three rare card-making materials into Gu Ye's hand. Gu Ye scanned the materials, unable to hide the smile in his eyes; the harvest was far beyond his expectations.

He patted Li Yaoling on the shoulder, putting on the air of a senior offering advice to a junior, his tone sincere yet stinging:

"You have a long way to go. As a Card Master, if you can't even protect your own safety, you might as well change professions early."

"F*ck..."

Li Yaoling was shaking with anger and was about to activate his cards to attack again, but Zhu Mancang instantly flashed to his side, his large hand pressing firmly on his shoulder, his tone carrying undeniable deterrence:

"A loss is a loss. Don't embarrass Star Refining University outside!"

Feeling Zhu Mancang's pressure, Li Yaoling's face turned pale instantly. He dared not act recklessly again, turned around crestfallen, and walked away from Huoyang No. 1 Middle School.

When Zhu Mancang turned to look at Gu Ye, his expression changed to another look, full of fawning smiles. He reached out and handed over a token:

"Student Gu, this is the key to Villa No. 1 at Star Refining University. When you come to report, just take out this token and someone will take you there."

"The reporting time is in one month. When you enroll, there will be a major examination."

After Zhu Mancang explained all the precautions to Gu Ye, he left with the principal.

At this time, Yan Shuangling and the others sent a message.

"Gu Ye, we are waiting for you at Star Cafe."

Gu Ye turned to look at Ning Shijun, who smiled and waved his hand: "Go ahead, enjoy yourself. When you need to return, just call my real name."

Gu Ye nodded, opened the map app, summoned the flying skateboard given by Bu Yao, and followed the route to fly away from Huoyang No. 1 Middle School.

"Gu Ye, over here!"

Just as he stepped into the cafe, he heard Chu Ling's voice. He was sitting by the window, waving vigorously at him.

Gu Ye waved back and walked over quickly, discovering that everyone had arrived: Yan Shuangling and her younger brother, Chu Ling, and Ye Suxuan. Not one was missing.

Yan Shuangling silently pushed a cup of coffee over and asked:

"Have you already registered for Star Refining University?"

Gu Ye took a sip, frowned slightly, feeling it was unbearably bitter, but still nodded gently to confirm.

"Which university do you plan to apply to?"

Gu Ye asked casually. As soon as the words fell, the four of them fell silent, and the atmosphere became stagnant for a moment.

A moment later, Yan Shuangling spoke softly, breaking the silence:

"Because of you, our families didn't suffer much loss. We still have to thank you."

"Sorry!" Gu Ye knew he couldn't change anything.

"It's okay, this is not your fault."

Chu Ling leaned back on the sofa carelessly, his tone free and easy. Everyone understood that this matter had nothing to do with Gu Ye.

"After our families discussed it, we decided to return to the main family in the Imperial Capital." Yan Shuangling continued.

"The Imperial Capital?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Gu Ye's eyes, and he instantly understood, "Are you going to Imperial Capital University?"

The four nodded in unison. Yan Shuangling's tone was flat, but it hid a faint sadness of parting:

"Finding you this time is a farewell. I specifically wanted to let you know."

"It's not like we won't see each other again."

Gu Ye looked at them, took out a few cards, pushed them to the group, and smiled:

"A gift for you."

The group looked at him in astonishment and reached out to pick up the cards.

"Old Gu, you've made a fortune. Never mind the Spirit Sealing Liquid, you're even giving away rule fragments."

"These are nothing. After entering the Card Domain, I accidentally entered a village. It was basically full of rule Guai Monsters, so I killed some while I was at it and am sharing some with you. As for the Spirit Sealing Liquid, just take it once every seven days."

Chu Ling generously accepted the cards. "Then we won't stand on ceremony with you."

"Oh! Right, Shuangling, since you are going to the Imperial Capital, hand these cards to Luo Yuerou. When the time comes, tell her that I will go to the Imperial Capital to get them from her."

Gu Ye pushed some more cards toward Yan Shuangling.

Yan Shuangling stared blankly at Gu Ye, her face full of surprise. Gu Ye scratched the back of his head, looking puzzled:

"I saw you two were quite familiar with each other when climbing the stairway to godhood."

Yan Dinghan couldn't help but silently give Gu Ye a thumbs up. He really knows how to play; I've learned something today.

"Okay."

Yan Shuangling took the cards with calm eyes and put them away without a word.

The other three didn't dare to make a sound; anyone with eyes could see that the atmosphere was a bit off...
