Mythical Card Supplier: Starting with Nezha, the Third Lotus Prince

Chapter 683 - 454: The Old Master's Idea! (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_2

"Indeed, after all, you're just like him."

Ma Desheng laughed, "No, not quite the same. My trait's effect has improved again. This time I'm back to break into the top one hundred!"

Ma Desheng had not been at the Academy before, instead, he had gone home.

Their family, although not one of the lower-end ones in Central Earth, also had a quite long history as a Beast Taming family.

After going back this time, not only did he enhance his trait's strength, but with the help of his family, he also contracted another Guardian Beast.

It was precisely because of this that he hurried back from home overnight as soon as he found out there was a possibility that Jiang Yuan might choose him.

After all, according to the rankings, if Jiang Yuan could choose, he would pick the highest-ranked player available to him.

Without a doubt, it would be him!

Jiang Yuan, ah!

This person has become the most active figure among the four top Academies recently.

If he could defeat Jiang Yuan under the watchful eyes of everyone from the four Academies, then he would instantly become the hottest figure at the moment.

This would be very good for his reputation.

Maybe the school would take his fame into account and include him in the quota to go to East Earth.

Thinking of this, Ma Desheng's heart couldn't help but get fired up.

"I'll say it now, if Jiang Yuan doesn't challenge me, then he's truly no good!" Ma Desheng outspokenly declared.

However, there was one thing he didn't say.

His Combat Power no longer belonged to this ranking.

But, is there a problem with that?

Not at all!

As long as he won, that was enough.

They would only say that Jiang Yuan wasn't strong enough, not diligent enough!

With these thoughts, Ma Desheng watched the messages on his phone, waiting for the news to come.

After Jiang Yuan got up feeling refreshed and had breakfast with Mu Qianshan and Liu Huaqiang, who had dark circles under his eyes, he leisurely made his way to the Martial Arts Arena.

Mu Qianshan followed him there as well.

Leaving only Liu Huaqiang alone at home.

Liu Huaqiang, staring at his dark circles, had already made a harsh statement.

"Today, I will definitely break through to the Sixth Realm!"

Jiang Yuan was noncommittal; breaking through was fine, after all, he still had quite a few backpack cards.

Moreover, Liu Huaqiang's skills were also very impressive.

So many backpack cards, until now, he had only used up less than fifty of them.

But even so, it was enough to make Jiang Yuan feel distressed. He even thought of suggesting that Liu Huaqiang should sleep before continuing to open more backpack cards.

It was only after Liu Huaqiang said failure was a probability event, unrelated to whether he slept or not, that Jiang Yuan gave up on this thought.

After arriving at the Martial Arts Arena, the audience expressed excitement at Jiang Yuan's arrival.

The noise was all about discussions with people around.

Some small circles even started betting.

Betting on whether Jiang Yuan could successfully reach the top of the leaderboard today.

However, clearly, those betting on his success were rare.

The odds were extremely high for Jiang Yuan's success, reaching a ratio of one to eleven.

From the odds, it's clear that people weren't very optimistic about Jiang Yuan's chances of successful ascension.

After all, the top one hundred weren't just for show.

Compared to those after one hundred, the rankings within the top one hundred were quite chaotic.

They might change at any moment.

From tenth to one hundred, no one knows who will be where the next day.

Their battles seemed to carry an element of luck.

Because the strength was too close.

However, there still were ten people.

The rankings of the top ten basically haven't changed.

As long as one could break into the top ten, whatever the initial ranking was upon breaking in, it usually stayed that way.

Very stable.

Being in a different class was no joke.

Those who don't progress for a long time, they've honed their combat skills to a terrifying level.

Of course, not just Zhongyuan Academy, but the top ten of the other four Academies were more or less the same.

All were strong as if they were from another class.

Walking on the way to the Martial Arts Arena, Jiang Yuan also picked his opponent and sent out a challenge.

Seeing the message on his phone, Ma Desheng couldn't help but get excited.

If not for the sake of the people around him, he would have laughed out loud by now.

What Jiang Yuan?

He is just a stepping stone for me.

"He really chose you, huh?"

"Hmm, he's got some courage after all."

Ma Desheng forcibly suppressed his excitement, speaking with an easygoing face to the person beside him.

It was as if Jiang Yuan challenging him was an honor for Jiang Yuan.

By the time Jiang Yuan arrived at the Martial Arts Arena, Ma Desheng was already waiting for him on the stage.

Seeing Jiang Yuan's tardy arrival, Ma Desheng's face couldn't help but show a touch of irritation.

Making me wait for you?

But then, remembering that his rise to fame still required Jiang Yuan's "assistance," a smile appeared on Ma Desheng's face.

"Here you are, get on stage."

"Okay."

Ma Desheng's gentle tone made Jiang Yuan hesitate for a moment.

Dude, your soft-spoken voice doesn't quite match with the tattoos on your body.

Nevertheless, Jiang Yuan just nodded his head and entered the Martial Arts Arena.

No other reason, this was a trust in Nezha and Zhao Gongming!

Excited, Ma Desheng laughed, following Jiang Yuan into the Martial Arts Arena.

Both entered the Martial Arts Arena and, once ready, the countdown above started.

When the countdown ended, a purple glow emanated from the cards in their hands.

Nezha, the Old Master, and Zhao Gongming appeared in the arena.

As usual, Jiang Yuan transformed into a bristle of the Old Master's horsetail whisk.

Yet, the next second, Jiang Yuan changed back.

His opponent was similar to him, with little Combat Power of their own.

Looking at the four Guardian Beasts before his opponent, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but chuckle.

"A Beast Taming Card Master?"

After cramming in the previous period, Jiang Yuan could also name these four Guardian Beasts.

Not only that, he knew their Skills and Combat Abilities like the back of his hand.

Black Stone Dragon, Devil Butterfly, Illusion Winged Bird, Red Gold Fire Ape.

The four Guardian Beasts: Black Stone Dragon a pseudo-dragon of Earth attribute, Devil Butterfly excels in Spiritual Attacks and Dark Energy attacks.

Illusion Winged Bird excels in Illusion Technique, a support type Guardian Beast.

Red Gold Fire Ape, a Fire Attribute, is a power type Guardian Beast good at strong offensive moves.

No Defense Type Guardian Beasts—or rather, one could say that Black Stone Dragon and Illusion Winged Bird kind of counted.

After all, both of these beasts possessed Defense Type skills.

Having seen the opponent's four Guardian Beasts, the card of Shi Ji also appeared in Jiang Yuan's hand.

Good at illusions?

Coincidentally, so is Shi Ji.

The two of you can just compare illusions.

All four Guardian Beasts were in the late stages of Sixth Realm.

Although Guardian Beasts, unlike Card Spirits, do not improve with the Card Master's Realm, having these four late Sixth Realm Guardian Beasts must have cost the opponent quite a bit.

But that's how it is with Beast Taming Card Masters; their Combat Power is mostly piled up with money.

It's just that Jiang Yuan has no money, otherwise, he would also whale.

Why bother with the effort when whaling feels so much better!

After Shi Ji appeared, he looked at Jiang Yuan somewhat puzzled.

Didn't we just agree last night that I wouldn't need to show up so early today?

By the time, this should be considered the first fight, right? And here I am, showing up for the first fight.

"The opponent is a Beast Taming Card Master, see that colorful bird over there? Your opponent is that one, he also uses Illusion Technique."

"Oh."

Shi Ji nodded, looked in the direction Jiang Yuan was pointing, and then sneered.

"It's not as pretty as the Green Phoenix, the colors look tacky."

"Hahaha, then leave this tacky fellow to you," Jiang Yuan said to Shi Ji with a laugh.

At this moment, Nezha and Zhao Gongming were already engaging the opponent in battle.

The Illusion Winged Bird did have a significant impact on Nezha and Zhao Gongming. Illusions, though not highly damaging, were truly annoying when used to support combat.

It improved a lot with Shi Ji's involvement.

Although he was just "moonlighting," Shi Ji's Illusion Technique was still a bit stronger than that bird's.

"By the way, you could actually use the Shadow Duel card."

In the midst of the fight, Old Master suddenly spoke to Jiang Yuan.

"Hm?"

Jiang Yuan was taken aback for a moment, but quickly caught on to what the Old Master meant.

"Although your Combat Power isn't very strong, you are certainly stronger than that Beast Master... Card Master over there."

"In a one-on-one situation, your Combat Power is not weak, especially when your opponent is a Beast Taming Card Master who lacks combat ability."

"Don't sell yourself short."
