Mythical Card Maker: Starting with the Mountain Spirit

Chapter 89 Final

Fang Chuchu didn't stay idle during her month-long vacation.

Not only did she successfully enter the lower Bronze realm, but she also broke through all three of her main cards to Bronze One Star.

Of course, she didn't go to the rift, but to a private secret place in her hometown.

The owner of that secret realm was a close friend of his father, which is why she was able to enter for free.

However, due to the time wasted at the previous celebration banquet, this breakthrough was a bit rushed, and there was no time to create new cards.

With three bronze-level cards, Fang Chuchu fought for about seven minutes before ultimately losing due to exhaustion of spiritual energy.

If Kong hope hadn't possessed a building card that could reduce spiritual energy consumption, the outcome would have been uncertain.

Overall, Fang Chuchu's performance was commendable and won applause from the audience.

The second match was an internal war between the six great families.

The match features Li Mubai from the Li clan of Longxi against Wang Xuanji from the Wang clan of Langya.

This match was very exciting, as the two players were evenly matched in terms of cultivation.

Even the star ratings of the cards are exactly the same.

The two were clearly acquainted, exchanging pleasantries on the fighting platform for a long time before officially starting the fight, leaving everyone speechless.

Fortunately, the battle was very exciting, with a variety of cards appearing one after another.

For example, the inheritance cards of the Longxi Li clan, namely [Flying General Li Guang] and [General of Heavenly Strategy Li Shimin], and the inheritance cards of the Langya Wang clan, namely [Jiangzuo Elegant Wang Dao] and [Calligraphy Master Wang Xizhi], are all very powerful purple summon cards.

In addition, there are building cards for [Heroic Officials - Lingyan Pavilion] and [Floating Wine Cups - Orchid Pavilion].

Legion Card [Migrants from the South], Equipment Card [Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion] —

The audience was dazzled and overwhelmed by the sights.

The two fought fiercely for almost ten minutes before a winner was decided, with Wang Xuanji winning by one move and advancing to the next round.

When the two stepped down from the stage, thunderous applause erupted in the examination hall.

The third match was between another Tianfu Ganjiao contestant, Yin Hui, and Pei Jingshu from the Hedong Pei Clan.

This is a battle between two mature and beautiful women.

It was a clash of titans, with tension running high from the very first moment.

Whether it was because they had the same number or because they had some grudge against each other, they fought without holding back and didn't care about the next match at all.

In the end, Pei Jingshu won the competition by relying on the family's inherited equipment card, [Yu Gong Regional Map].

The match then continued.

It remains an internal war between the six great families.

The match will be between Qian Guanhai and Qian Ming.

Both contestants this time are from the Qian clan of Wuyue, and they are even brothers.

The game ended quickly.

With almost no suspense, Qian Guanhai defeated his younger brother Qian Ming with an absolute advantage to advance to the next round.

Although the latter was also a member of the Wuyue Qian clan, he was still much weaker than his brother.

It's fair to say that he was the weakest of the ten in the final round.

The reason they were able to advance to the final single-elimination round was purely due to good luck.

The cards of the top ten players from Tianfu who were fighting against him were exactly countered by his.

But it must be said that sometimes luck is also a part of ability.

With the Qian brothers leaving the battle platform, the fifth match officially began.

A deafening cheer erupted from the stands inside the examination hall.

This match was between Lin Mo and Yang Huai'an of the Hongnong Yang Clan.

As one of the last remaining top ten contestants from Tianfu, and also the top scorer in this year's district exam, Lin Mo's popularity is undeniable.

Moreover, he maintained a winning streak, his popularity soared, and he gained a large following. Coupled with his teacher-like appearance, he captivated a large number of female students.

So when he stepped onto the stage, many students cheered.

"Go Lin Mo, defeat your opponent!"

"We must win! Let these scions of privileged families see what a true genius is!"

"You're the last one left; you can't let down the reputation of the Ten Prodigies of Tianfu!"

On the battle platform.

Yang Huai'an, dressed in white, looked like a refined gentleman, but there was a hint of solemnity between his brows.

A few meters away from him, Lin Mo appeared calm and composed.

As a clear bell rang, the competition officially began.

As usual, Lin Mo summoned Lu Wu, Shen Tu, and Yu Lei.

Upon seeing this, Yang Huai'an's expression instantly turned serious.

He had watched Lin Mo's previous matches and knew how terrifying those three card spirits were.

The human-faced, tiger-bodied card spirit is the absolute core of the damage output, with both single-target and area-of-effect damage far exceeding that of other cards of the same tier.

It also possesses remarkable control methods, making it a versatile weapon in both offense and defense.

As for the other two card spirits, they are mainly defensive, with extremely strong control methods and a wide range, making them very difficult to deal with.

Ordinary bronze-level card makers were basically powerless against these three card spirits and were forced to retreat in defeat.

"As expected, it's still these two cards."

Yang Huai'an muttered to himself, his expression solemn, not daring to underestimate his opponent in the slightest.

With a thought, his spiritual power surged forth, and in the next instant, three dazzling rays of light shot into the sky.

Finally, it transformed into two tall figures and a building resembling an ancestral hall.

In an instant, a righteous aura enveloped the entire venue, and layers of golden light curtains unfolded.

It is none other than the "Master of Guanzhong - Yang Zhen", the "Strategist of Linjin - Yang Xiu", and the "Hall of Integrity and Family Tradition - Sizhitang" card, which represents the heritage of the Hongnong Yang Clan!

Two Bronze 2-star purple summon cards, and one Bronze 1-star building card!

Yang Huai'an immediately unleashed his strongest combat power!

On the stands, everyone instantly held their breath.

"This is the core legacy deck of the Hongnong Yang clan; Yang Huai'an is serious!"

"This is going to be interesting! Lin Mo's overpowered deck versus the Yang family's Righteous Qi deck—I wonder which side will have the greater advantage!"

"They've even summoned the [Sizhitang]! It seems Yang Huai'an is determined to wage a protracted war against Lin Mo this time!"

""

The crowd in the stands was buzzing with discussion.

Lin Mo's expression remained perfectly calm.

He had also watched Yang Huai'an's matches and knew that his family inheritance building card could provide various benefits, one of which was to reduce the spiritual energy consumption of his own cards on the field.

It's somewhat similar to the effect of his God Card.

However, Lin Mo did not intend to engage in a protracted battle with his opponent. Yang Huai'an had a building card bonus, and dragging it out would be disadvantageous for him.

Having made up his mind, Lin Mo immediately summoned the Mountain Ghost as well, preparing to launch a direct and forceful attack to take it down.

Almost the instant the mountain spirit appeared, the noise in the arena erupted once again.

"Looks like Lin Mo's a pervert too, this Miss Kaling is just too beautiful!"

"Lin Mo has finally summoned his third card. I wonder if there's anything special about this card!"

-

As everyone was talking, the Mountain Spirit, Shen Tu Yu Lei, and Lu Wu launched an attack on Yang Huai An's Ka Ling.

The latter looked solemn and quickly summoned the fourth card, which was none other than [Yang Biao, Grand Commandant of the Late Han Dynasty]!

This is a Guardian Card, but its star rating is a bit low, only one-star Bronze!

A battle was about to break out, and the platform was instantly filled with turmoil.

To everyone's surprise, the battle did not last long and soon ended with Yang Huai'an's defeat.

His seemingly solid lineup was completely flimsy in front of Lin Mo's four card spirits. The building cards that had repeatedly made contributions in the past were rendered useless for the first time, like decorations. Faced with Shen Cha Yu Lei's strong control and Lu Wu's forced interruption, he could only watch helplessly like an incompetent husband, and ultimately lost the game.

"Wow, amazing! Lin Mo's third card is also an offensive card, and a large-area one at that! Yang Huai'an's loss is well-deserved!"

"Among the remaining freshmen, it seems only Qian Guanhai can really challenge Lin Mo, after all, he possesses the purple legion card inherited from his family, which is extremely powerful!"

"Qian Guanhai is still pretty good; he's currently on a winning streak, and the championship will probably be decided between him and Lin Mo!"

Time passed slowly, and soon a new round of drawing lots began.

Lin Mo was lucky this time and got a bye.

The first match was between Kong hope and Pei Jingshu. Because Pei Jingshu had consumed too much spiritual energy in her previous match with Yin Hui and had not yet recovered, she chose to concede defeat after only a few minutes of fighting.

Next up is Wang Xuanji versus Qian Guanhai.

This match was much more exciting than the last one, with both players employing a variety of techniques, making for an exceptionally intense battle.

In the end, Qian Guanhai won the match thanks to his formidable strength.

The remaining three drew lots again.

-

Qian Guanhai was lucky enough to get a bye this time.

Lin Mo will face off against Kong hope.

Lin Mo wasn't too worried about this descendant of the Kong family.

The latter has the strength, but not enough to pose a threat to him.

Compared to Lin Mo's composure, Kong hope appeared tense, her eyes filled with apprehension as she looked at Lin Mo.

He had just witnessed Lin Mo's many battles and naturally knew how powerful this opponent was.

As the competition bell rang once again, everyone's eyes in the assessment hall focused on the central battle platform.

On one side is the undefeated leader of the Ten Prodigies of Tianfu, and on the other side is the genius youth of the Confucius family in Qufu.

The difference in strength and weakness may seem clear, but no one dares to draw any conclusions prematurely.

Kong hope took a deep breath, slowly walked onto the battle platform, and stood facing Lin Mo.

He knew very well that against a genius card maker like Lin Mo, who was good at both offense and defense, any small mistake could ruin the entire battle.

Therefore, he chose to do the same as Yang Huai'an and immediately unleash all his combat power.

This match is likely to be his last in this freshman ranking tournament, so Kong hope no longer holds back and plays all five cards at once.

This is the maximum number he can control at the same time.

In an instant, the arena was filled with a dazzling array of lights and shadows.

"Is that Confucius, the Sage and Teacher? To actually get a rubbing of Confucius's name, Kong hope must hold a high position in the Kong family!"

"Yan Hui, Zeng Shen, and Zisi—three of the seventy-two disciples of Confucius have appeared. Is Confucius really going all out?"

"The Confucius family's exclusive building card, [Supreme Sage Forest], has arrived too! They're all inheritance cards. Damn, these aristocratic scions are truly enviable!"

On the stands, murmurs arose again.

Everyone held their breath, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.

On the other side of the platform, Lin Mo remained calm and composed, showing no sign of emotion.

He had already figured out Kong hope's strengths and weaknesses. The opponent's deck did not have high burst damage, but it was good at endurance and had a very high margin for error.

If it were any other bronze card maker, being dragged into a protracted battle by Kong hope would most likely be slowly worn down and killed, but he was not afraid.

As soon as Lin Mo had a thought, Shen Tu and Yu Lei took the lead and launched the first attack.

A golden barrier spread out, instantly enveloping Kong hope's deck.

"Lin Mo really knows how to use one trick to get by; he always starts by taunting everyone he attacks!"

"This skill is really useful—I'd use it too!"

On the other side of the platform, Kong hope seemed to have anticipated this all along.

Suddenly, the image of "The Sage and Teacher Confucius" in front of him burst forth with a dazzling light.

However, the next moment, his expression suddenly changed.

"What? It can't be solved!"

"How could that be? My sage Confucius's editing and compilation of the Six Classics is said to be able to break free from all control!"

Lin Mo shook his head inwardly.

His Shen Tu and Yu Lei are deities, while Confucius, no matter how strong, is ultimately just a human being. Unless his star power is strong enough to ignore the control of Shen Tu and Yu Lei, the Confucius Tuoka in front of him obviously cannot do that.

On the stands, Mo Liang gave a bitter smile as he looked at the other eliminated trainees beside him: "Now you understand how I felt back then, right? This skill is impossible to dodge or cleanse; there's no solution!"

The trainees nodded repeatedly, staring blankly at the scene.

At this moment, Kong hope had completely fallen below, becoming a sitting duck for the Mountain Spirit and Lu Wu.

In particular, both of them have wide-range attack skills, so even with the healing properties of [Sacred Forest], he can only barely survive and passively take hits.

As time went by, Kong hope unsurprisingly lost the match.

The moment the proctor announced the results, the stands erupted in cheers that nearly lifted the roof off the examination hall.

"Lin Mo won! He's made it to the finals!"

"As expected of the top scorer in the district exam, his dominance is incredible. Kong hope has absolutely no hope of turning the tide."

"The final is going to be exciting! Lin Mo will face off against Qian Guanhai. The champion of this freshman ranking competition will be one of these two!"

Meanwhile, on the platform, Qian Guanhai quietly observed the composed Lin Mo on the stage, his eyes showing no fear, but rather a burning fighting spirit.

As one of the most outstanding geniuses of this generation from the ninth branch of the Wuyue Qian clan, he has been on a winning streak and has never truly fought with his full strength.

He had held back in his previous battles against Wang Xuanji.

Now, he has finally met an opponent worthy of his full effort.

Qian Guanhai slowly stood up, a slight smile curving his lips.

"Lin Mo, I hope you can unleash your full potential. If it's just these three cards, the championship of this freshman ranking tournament is probably mine!"

And then Qian Guanhai stepped onto the final stage.

🇧🇷

The audience erupted in cheers, their emotions completely ignited.

clang!

Just as the atmosphere reached its climax, a clear and melodious bell rang throughout the entire examination hall.

The final round has officially begun!

Almost the instant the bell tolled, Qian Guanhai moved slightly, and his spiritual power surged forth like a raging river, pouring out without reservation.

In an instant, six dazzling streams of light shot into the sky, spreading out in layers of halos that enveloped the entire battle platform.

Qian Guanhai immediately went all out from the start!
