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

Chapter 689 - 457: First place? Wait until after my breakthrough if you want first place! _2

This Beast Taming Card Master's combat power is stronger than the last one encountered.

But it's because of a unique trait.

This Beast Taming Card Master's trait is that for every Guardian Beast that survives on the field, the combat power of other Guardian Beasts is boosted.

Meaning, his combat power is strongest at the beginning.

As Nezha and Zhao Gongming gradually take down his Guardian Beasts, their combat power weakens.

Of course, none of these have anything to do with him personally.

As a Beast Taming Card Master without any attack capabilities, it's normal for him not to defeat Jiang Yuan.

Even though his ranking is higher than the last Beast Taming Card Master Jiang Yuan encountered, a Beast Taming Card Master inherently lacks combat capabilities.

It would be the same even if Huang Huanqing was here.

Speaking of which, it seems that influenced by Jiang Yuan, Huang Huanqing has recently been challenging the rankings at their Academy.

However, her journey through the challenges doesn't seem to be going very smoothly.

After all, the "Shadow Duel" card, becoming popular along with Jiang Yuan, has also gained widespread popularity.

Now, people from the top four prestigious Academies almost all know about this card.

It's not like there were no similar cards before, but they were quite expensive.

"Shadow Duel" is different—effective, inexpensive, and lasts a long time.

These three factors have allowed "Shadow Duel" to unquestionably defeat similar types of cards.

That's also why Huang Huanqing's path of challenges has been so tough.

But now, among the Red Quality Cards, there's a card especially for Beast Taming Card Masters.

It can lend a portion of its abilities and physical strength to the Beast Taming Card Master.

It is a part of each Guardian Beast.

By then, a Beast Taming Card Master with this card will also become a powerful combatant.

Still, there's that same issue.

This card is a one-time-use Skill Card and is also very expensive.

If their own Guardian Beasts can handle the situation, basically no one would use this card.

However, because of "Shadow Duel," this card might become popular again.

Beast Taming Card Masters certainly don't like the feeling of being targeted.

"I really didn't expect him to challenge me."

In the spectator seats, seeing Jiang Yuan defeat the 10th-ranked contestant, Sui Shuyuan also helplessly shook his head.

"Are you sure you can defeat him?"

After Dong Quanquan spoke, Sui Shuyuan helplessly glanced at him and said, "We have also fought against each other, what do you think?"

"Alright, I understand."

Dong Quanquan laughed heartily: "Looks like we are in the same boat."

"Not exactly."

Sui Shuyuan also smiled and shook his head: "In a one-on-one situation, I might be able to defeat that girl in black and Zhao Gongming... perhaps?"

"Although I'm not very sure, in a one-on-one situation, I am not weaker than any of their Card Spirits."

As Sui Shuyuan spoke, his expression gradually became helpless: "But if several of them gang up on me, then I can't do much, at most delaying as long as those before me did."

"Huh? What about that old man, why not choose that old man?"

Dong Quanquan was somewhat puzzled: "That old man looks like he should be the weakest in their team, right?"

"The weakest?"

Sui Shuyuan thoughtfully nodded: "Perhaps."

"But that old man always gives me a strange feeling, as if he could crush me with just a raise of his hand."

"Hahaha, how could that be."

Hearing Sui Shuyuan say this, Dong Quanquan couldn't help but burst into loud laughter: "He's just a Card Spirit who has barely reached the initial stage, after all."

"Indeed, it might be an illusion."

Hearing Dong Quanquan say this, Sui Shuyuan also couldn't help but laugh.

But indeed, he had that feeling.

And the terrifying part was, it wasn't just once.

"Looks like it's my turn to take the stage."

As his cellphone chimed once, Sui Shuyuan got up without even checking the message content.

Because below in the spectator seats, Jiang Yuan was also standing up, walking towards the stage.

"Lose a bit slower."

"Shut up."

Sui Shuyuan cursed with a smile and then stepped onto the field, facing Jiang Yuan.

"Let's start the fight right away."

Better to get this over with sooner rather than later.

Of course, Sui Shuyuan didn't actually say this last sentence out loud.

After speaking to Jing Wen, Sui Shuyuan walked toward the Martial Arts Arena.

Jiang Yuan was also short on time and naturally had no objections, following him into the Martial Arts Arena.

The battle began, and a purple glow shone from their hands.

Sui Shuyuan donned black armor and held a large double-edged sword, his aura ferocious.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yuan vanished once again, dealing with Nezha, Zhao Gongming, and Shi Ji.

Unable to see Jiang Yuan, Sui Shuyuan didn't particularly care, as he hadn't planned to use the "Shadow Duel" card anyway.

Or perhaps it was because nowadays, no one ranked on the leaderboard would use such a card against Jiang Yuan.

After all, to use that card, one would need to be able to find Jiang Yuan first.

Jiang Yuan hid himself very well, and there seemed to be no suitable card available to locate him.

In that case, it was better to give up.

Sui Shuyuan advanced with his sword, dragging it behind before suddenly executing a Half Moon Slash.

However, it was easily blocked by Nezha.

Despite ranking higher than Dong Quanquan, his strength was not as great.

His trait was not the kind that increased strength, but rather one that could enhance damage.

A full-strength attack could cause additional damage.

Sui Shuyuan's skills and combat experience were somewhat stronger than Dong Quanquan's.

His large sword blended both offense and defense, making it quite difficult to kill the opponent.

Nezha and Zhao Gongming attacked from front and back, Shi Ji assisted from the side, and two Undead Enslavement Amplification Card Masters enhanced the combat power of Nezha and Zhao Gongming.

Shi Ji did not summon too many Bone Spirits or Undead Enslavements.

After all, facing an opponent as strong as Sui Shuyuan, Bone Spirits and Undead Enslavements couldn't cause much damage to them.

Additionally, every person had different traits, like the opponent they just faced, whose trait was to increase strength after killing an enemy.

They almost let the opponent's trait accumulate unintentionally.

Luckily, Shi Ji reacted quickly, promptly retreating the remaining Bone Spirits and Undead Enslavements.

Nevertheless, even then, when facing stronger opponents subsequently, Shi Ji only deployed useful Undead Enslavements.

Such as these two that could enhance the combat power of Nezha and Zhao Gongming.

It seemed that the opponent didn't possess the trait of boosting combat power by killing targets.

"He really is aiming for the first place, are you confident in defeating him?"

"What do you think? How long have I been sitting in this number one spot?"

The handsome young man with white hair smiled, "It's a pity that last time I missed the Joint Examination of the four schools, otherwise the championship wouldn't have gone to other schools."

"Although you sound confident, Zhan Shuangwu is also not weak."

"Zhan Shuangwu?"

The white-haired young man laughed, "He only managed to get the first place in the third arena of the Joint Examination because I wasn't there."

"Do know that, in previous battles, I've defeated him."

"Although it was just a narrow victory, in the end, I won."

While talking, the white-haired young man looked towards the ongoing battle of Nezha and Zhao Gongming in the arena.

"They are the same, if they really can challenge me, I can similarly give them a defeat."

"The first place is not that easy to take."

"He indeed has the strength to contend for the first place."

The white-haired young man chuckled softly, "But that's only after I make my breakthrough, then he'll qualify."

The white-haired young man finished speaking, and a young man next to him was somewhat surprised, "Are you about to make a breakthrough soon?"

"Yes."

"If not for the noise he's been making these past few days, and his targeting towards me."

"I might have already succeeded in breaking through."

"But no rush, disciplining him first before breaking through works just as well."

"Let him also understand his place."
