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

Chapter 898 561: Card Spirit [Bull Demon King]!

All the contestants are just on the age limit this year.

Other clan members around twenty-two years old, even if they're more talented, are just at the Seventh Realm, Early Quails Mid-stage.

No one knows when they'll be able to reach the Eighth Realm, Early Quails Stage.

After all, past the Seventh Realm, every step is a bottleneck; it's not a joke.

Murong Qingyao and Murong Qingwan are considered talented, successfully breaking through to the Seventh Realm, Early Quails Stage just before turning twenty-two.

Can they break through from Early Quails Stage to Early Flames Stage within three years?

Even they have no confidence.

After being surprised by Jiang Yuan's strength and talent, Murong Qingyao and Murong Qingwan turned their heads to Mu Qianshan.

"How about you?"

The two initially thought Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan were around their age, maybe at the same Realm as them.

To their surprise, Jiang Yuan turned out to be a powerhouse in the Eighth Realm.

And that's coming from a small place, without the same cultivation resources they had.

With Jiang Yuan being so strong, what about Mu Qianshan?

"I'm not as good as him."

Mu Qianshan smiled, and Murong Qingyao and Murong Qingwan sighed in relief.

Indeed, one monster is enough.

"I'm just at the Seventh Realm, Quails Late-stage."

"Quails Late-stage?"

The two, having just relaxed, exchanged a slightly helpless glance after being surprised again.

"Now I understand why Mr. Lan accepted you two as students."

"Such talent..."

Murong Qingwan shook her head helplessly, realizing they were only Mr. Lan's temporary students.

Not genuine students at all.

As they knew, Mr. Lan had several students.

Wusun Zhongliang from the Wusun Family, diwu Jiao from the Diwu Family, Wenren Fangyan from the Wenren Family.

They are genuinely talented students.

Not only from prominent families, but also two years younger than them.

Yet, even so, before the All Races Martial Arts Competition started, those three were already at the same Realm as them.

Now they've successfully broken through, though uncertain if those three had also progressed.

Murong Qingyao and Murong Qingwan remained silent.

They initially thought their talent was already quite good.

But there's always a higher mountain beyond a mountain.

If Wusun Zhongliang and Wenren Fangyan excel due to their families, having more resources.

Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan made them truly realize what genuine talent is.

"When did you break through?"

"This morning when I woke up."

Faced with Jiang Yuan's curious sound transmission into secret, Mu Qianshan chuckled and replied.

"Nice."

Jiang Yuan raised his thumb, and Mu Qianshan chuckled.

But soon, neither could laugh.

After much effort comforting the slightly introverted two girls, they finally sighed in relief.

"Sigh."

After leaving the market, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

"It's more exhausting than running away."

Jiang Yuan shook his head helplessly, while Mu Qianshan suddenly paused.

"When we ran away, did we kill any members of the Demon Race?"

Jiang Yuan paused: "What do you mean?"

"If, just hypothetically, that guy from the Duanmu family who attended the All Races Martial Arts Competition, did we kill him during our escape?"

Mu Qianshan made Jiang Yuan stop.

Did he ever kill a demon at Eighth Realm, Early Flames Stage?

It seems he did?

After all, while escaping, with Nezha and Zhao Gongming present, his combat power was at its peak.

No matter whether he successfully reached the Eighth Realm, Early Flames Stage back then.

An opponent at Early Flames Stage, killed and forgotten, not entirely memorable.

"Forget it, we'll see when the time comes."

Jiang Yuan waved it off: "Whether we accidentally killed that guy or not, I'm determined to win the first place in the Three Family Martial Arts Competition!"

"Will it be the same if I win it?"

After saying that, Mu Qianshan suddenly chuckled and spoke up.

Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"

"That's all it means."

Mu Qianshan grinned mischievously: "Even without Zhao Gongming and the others, I want to test your combat strength."

"Alright."

Jiang Yuan chuckled: "Although they all say my combat talent isn't great, at least I'm a whole Realm above you."

"Hehe, if I accidentally beat you up badly, don't hold a grudge."

"Don't worry, I'm not the grudge type!"

Jiang Yuan smiled and waved.

As for whether Nezha and Zhao Gongming hold grudges, he wasn't sure.

In any case, if he didn't defeat Mu Qianshan, Nezha and Zhao Gongming certainly knew.

Hehe~

Jiang Yuan chuckled, then, after dining with Murong Qingyao and Murong Qingwan, found a teahouse, had tea, and went to the auction.

"Tell me if you need anything, if you don't have enough money, I can lend you some first."

Murong Qingyao held Jiang Yuan's arm, eyes gleaming with mischief.

"Of course, if you can't pay, offer a physical repayment."

"Hehehe~"

"I won't; I'll definitely pay back!"

Jiang Yuan sincerely replied: "I just don't like owing money to others!"

If unable to pay, selling some cards would be essential.

If worse comes to worst, the plan was to raid the vaults of the three families.

And absolutely pay back!

Murong Qingyao's eyes were somewhat dejected, while Murong Qingwan almost couldn't suppress her laughter.

Both Murong Qingwan and Murong Qingyao could see Jiang Yuan was serious.

He wasn't joking with the two of them.

"Auntie~"

Upon entering the auction hall, there was no private room; everyone gathered in a large hall.

As expected, the Three Families City was built as tight as a drum by the three families.

Everyone knew each other, so private rooms weren't necessary.

Though unnecessary, they still existed but were unused by them.

"Oh, you two are here too?"

The aunt Murong Qingyao referred to was naturally Murong Qingsi.

Murong Qingsi glanced at Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan, didn't feel awkward, smiled briefly, then continued watching the stage.

Murong Qingyao and Murong Qingwan, with Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan, sat beside Murong Qingsi obediently.

"Are they the two from Luoye City?"

After everyone was seated, the host on stage was still warming up; the auction hadn't officially started.

A middle-aged man beside Murong Qingsi curiously inquired about their identity.

Others around pricked up their ears.

"Yes, they survived when Luoye City was massacred."

Murong Qingsi nodded: "They should be the last bloodline of the Murong Family and Shangguan Family in Luoye City."

"Then there's no one from the Duanmu family?"

Another middle-aged man asked curiously.

"I'm not sure. I only know those two came together."

After Murong Qingsi spoke, noticing people's thoughtful faces, she added.

"They're students of Mr. Lan."

"Students of Mr. Lan."

Everyone nodded slightly, then remained silent, quietly awaiting the auction's official start.

Mu Qianshan, guided by Murong Qingwan, went to deliver auctioned items.

Jiang Yuan accompanied Murong Qingyao, examining the items.

Of course, just ordinary items.

Special items and midway additions weren't displayed here.

"Indeed, Heaven led me to choose the Bull Demon King."

Viewing auction items on the virtual screen, Jiang Yuan felt somewhat sentimental.

Originally planning to choose between Zhu Bajie and Bull Demon King as the team's tank.

No matter what, several Card Spirits in his team required stalling time for their skills.

Under such circumstances, having a tank is essential.

Seeing the Bull Demon King's weapon, Astronomical Iron, that morning.

Today saw...
