Chapter 680 - 453: Jiang Yuan's Hidden Physical Qualities! (Vote for Monthly Tickets)
Purple light shimmered in the sky as the long sword, gleaming with black crow-light, chopped towards Jiang Yuan's neck.
"Clang!"
A golden tower phantom emerged amidst Nezha's cold sneer and Zhao Gongming's calm expression, easily blocking the long sword's attack.
A look of surprise appeared on Jiang Yuan's face.
The damage was pretty good; in one strike, his Star Power was almost depleted.
Such attack strength would be considered powerful even in the latter stages of the real world.
Unfortunately, it still couldn't break through the defenses of the Linglong Pagoda.
Jiang Yuan's slightly surprised eyes betrayed the truth that he had not managed to breach the defense.
In Ma Hongfei's view, this scene was like a silent mockery from Jiang Yuan.
"Damn it!"
Veins popped on Ma Hongfei's forehead, but he no longer had a chance for another attack.
The Sky Shattering Arrow was loosed in haste; he could only awkwardly dodge and was forced to increase the distance from Jiang Yuan.
The instant Jiang Yuan's internal Star Power was depleted, he immediately replenished it in full.
At that moment, he watched the three-person battle in the arena with detachment, as if he were an outsider.
The battle was over quickly, especially for a profession whose defensive power wasn't high.
In no time at all, Zhao Gongming's steel whip struck the opponent.
Before the Martial Arts Arena faded away, Zhao Gongming, with an elegant smile, gestured at Nezha with a finger.
Nezha seemed rather displeased.
However, these scenes were fleeting, and soon Jiang Yuan and Ma Hongfei appeared on the stage.
Jiang Yuan was in a good mood; he nodded at Ma Hongfei before heading towards his own spot.
He completely missed the angry and embarrassed look on Ma Hongfei's face.
Beneath the stage, Jiang Yuan understood why the challenges these past few days were so fast and easy.
Everyone was watching his battles.
Well, that's a nice situation too.
The quicker it's over, the better—there's still a lot to do after the challenge.
After cheerfully selecting his next target, the battle began as soon as the target entered the arena, cyclically repeating.
...
...
Meanwhile, at Jiang Yuan's home, Liu Huaqiang looked up unhappily at the couch while decrypting a card.
It was even worse than yesterday, at least nobody bothered him yesterday.
But what's this?
Liu Huaqiang looked toward Mu Qianshan on the couch, observing the Star Power swirling around him.
"It's just a breakthrough."
Liu Huaqiang sounded a bit sour: "Damn, I'm so envious."
"Just a bit more effort, and after I'm done with these backpack cards, I can break through too!"
After glancing at Mu Qianshan beside him, Liu Huaqiang continued to struggle with the backpack cards in front of him.
On the other hand, Jiang Yuan had barely managed to hold out for ten minutes until Nezha and Zhao Gongming took the stage.
Unwary, and without using Fake Shape, he was hit by the Shadow Duel.
The main reason was Jiang Yuan himself didn't expect it; you're two levels above me, and yet you still use such a card.
"Ha, almost had a mishap there."
The old dean laughed cheerfully in his observation room, while Li Yueying in another observation room found it somewhat amusing.
This might be a common oversight among Card Makers, occasionally forgetting some things.
Like right now.
She was the same; she sometimes neglected some small details during battles.
Of course, there's only so much the brain can hold; focusing on one thing often means overlooking others.
At least it's not fatal.
Thunder Attribute skills are very fast, especially a few that can increase one's movement speed.
In such a situation, Jiang Yuan managed to hold on, even by a narrow margin, without revealing his Fire Attribute abilities or the Golden Crow.
Of course, if he did reveal them, so be it.
But still, one should always keep an ace up the sleeve.
As long as it's not shown before death, it's fine to keep it in hand.
That was Jiang Yuan's thought.
After seeing his opponent defeated by Nezha again, he breathed a sigh of relief.
[If only there were two Shadow Single Combat Cards, maybe Jiang Yuan could have been defeated.]
[Indeed, I'll need to prepare another one for later.]
[I have three in hand; I hope he faces me, otherwise, wouldn't my minute Shadow Single Combat Card be useless?]
[Not entirely useless, after all, there are other Beast Taming Card Masters to face.]
[Let's be honest—the card is much more effective against Jiang Yuan than against Beast Taming Card Masters.]
[True, Beast Taming Card Masters might not excel at other things, but their survival skills are top-notch.]
[Then what do you think? If Beast Taming Card Masters were good at other aspects too, they would be well-rounded warriors, and then what would the rest of us do?]
[What to do? Just switch to becoming Beast Taming Card Masters, I guess.]
The chat in the Virtual Martial Arts Arena scrolled rapidly, inside and outside talking about strategies against Jiang Yuan.
There was no helping it, Jiang Yuan had been too high-profile lately.
So, practically everyone was looking for ways to counter Jiang Yuan.
A group of people discussed, while another group tested, and they managed to come up with a pretty good idea to counter Jiang Yuan.
The second match started quickly, and right from the start, Jiang Yuan materialized Laojun, Nezha, and Zhao Gongming.
He also donned the Purple Ribbon Robe and used Fake Shape to transform himself into a strand of Laojun's horsetail whisk.
Now, nobody could catch him with Shadow Duel.
This battle ended quickly as well; as a Skill Card Master, the opponent struggled to resist the attacks from Zhao Gongming and Nezha.
Another battle began, and Jiang Yuan duplicated his strategy, but this time the opponent used Shadow Duel to target Laojun.
