Exclusive sister card, unlimited evolution

Coming back to his senses, Lu Yan wrapped his left hand with crow flames and slammed Su Ziye's arm with all his might. The armor made of silk threads was harder than he had imagined. The huge force combined with the flames failed to destroy it, but it did knock Su Ziye away.

Lu Yan did not hold back, he really used all his strength. Su Ziye was caught off guard and spun 360 degrees in the air. He flapped his wings to release the force and stop himself after more than ten circles.

Su Ziye did not look like he was in a state of soul injury. His attack did not make close contact with his body, and [Soul Injury] was not activated.

[Just as I guessed, your soul attack must actually 'impact' and 'hit' the body to be effective, right?]

Su Ziye smiled. After the battle started, Lu Yan connected with him through his spiritual consciousness to complete a supersonic conversation.

He had just stabilized in the air and didn't get a reply. Lu Yan, who was looking for an opportunity to win, went face to face with him and slashed at his wings with the Bodhi Sword.

The surrounding environment became increasingly hot and humid. The earth began to shatter layer by layer as he stomped and jumped with all his strength. The earth fire that had been injected earlier erupted, and a flock of crows in the sky was also approaching.

Although he does not have a full set of moves like the Black Smoke Crow, the giant tree's [Energy Control] allows Lu Yan to imitate the dead man's skills.

Looking from a distance, the sky and the ground were covered by a raging sea of fire. The sky and the earth were connected to form a cage, leaving Su Ziye with nowhere to escape.

[Good timing! Haha, it all depends on your poison resistance and defense. Strength isn't everything!]

Su Ziye was not panicked in the face of the flames, but laughed loudly. The silk thread spread and enveloped Lu Yan in a woven cage before the flames approached, giving himself some time to resist.

The colorful scale powder turned into mist and dissipated. Lu Yan held his breath and concentrated, entering a state of not needing to breathe. He looked at the spreading scale powder. The Bodhi sword slashed from top to bottom, and a strong wind swept through. The sword energy cut the silk ball and took the powder out.

It was quickly repaired, and Su Ziye came to his side again, one step faster than before, and caught up with Lu Yan, still slapping him with both hands. Energy surged, and just looking at the color, one could tell it was very dangerous.

Try poison resistance?

Since it was a sparring match, Lu Yan had the idea of trying his limits. He wrapped crow flames around his left hand as the most basic defense, and then slapped Su Ziye's right hand, causing his right hand and left hand to collide and fall to one side.

At the same time, the slender Bodhi sword stabbed out, the target was not the head, but the neck.

Two rays of light flashed by, and the two men exchanged positions. As a result of the collision, Su Ziye successfully touched Lu Yan's left hand, and Lu Yan's Bodhi sword successfully pierced Su Ziye's neck.

"Ahem, your soul skill's penetration is so high!?"

Both sides stopped fighting for a moment. Su Ziye, who was facing away from Lu Yan, couldn't help coughing. The pierced neck bleeds a little and then is repaired, but he looks a little listless, and his soul is still traumatized.

He was very surprised by this. You know, after being challenged to a duel, Su Ziye specially changed to a soul defense card, but it only blocked a little soul damage.

Touching his healing neck and brushing off the remaining flames, the Butterfly Man turned around to see how Lu Yan was doing.

"It must be tough being hit by my attack. Even though it's been intentionally weakened, it's a mixed attack after all. I'll detoxify you right away..."

Su Ziye looked at Lu Yan and gradually opened his mouth wide.

Lu Yan raised his left hand that had hit Su Ziye's palm. His clothes, skin, flesh, and bones began to dissolve, and the brightly colored toxins were still climbing up and corroding.

It climbed very fast at the beginning, but began to slow down at the elbows. The black, yellow and bright silver true Qi completely blocked them, and the black and yellow true Qi was still analyzing and decomposing the toxins themselves, and the cleaning speed was getting faster and faster.

[Death Moon Art] worked, and of course, the most important thing was—

[Jiuhua Sutra is my dark yellow blood]!

A second later, Lu Yan swung his arm, and the foreign object was blown away, and the arm that had been completely corroded was restored to its original state.

Looking at his white jade palm, he took a deep breath, having originally held his breath. The poisonous mist and scale powder rushed into his chest, causing him to cough lightly.

As the colorful liquid was coughed out, Lu Yan felt that the scale powder was turning into the most basic energy and was completely dissolved by the Jiuhua True Qi.

Su Ziye was certain that not only the toxic acid was removed, but also the curse he had cast that could cause disaster was cleared away.

"Sorry, I'm a Hexagonal Card Master, and I'm pretty good at resisting poison. How about adding a little more power, Captain."

Turning around, Lu Yan raised his hand to signal Su Ziye to continue. His surprised expression disappeared, and then came excitement: "You said so. Since your recovery ability is so strong, I feel relieved."

The hands behind his back stretched out, and more thin lines burst out and rushed towards Lu Yan, weaving into countless big hands in the air and slapping towards him. Lu Yan thought about it and decided to try his ability to dig holes.

He released the crow flame in his hand, and the crow and the big hand fought against each other. After a moment of stalemate, Su Ziye found that the silk ball cage he was maintaining was completely collapsed by the flame, and endless flames began to compress from the outside to the inside.

Thousands of meters of flames were compressed into a small ball only two meters high, emitting terrifying heat, and the sphere was in an extremely unstable state.

The next moment, the sphere exploded, and dazzling light enveloped the duel space of more than 20 kilometers.

Chapter 369: Encounter.

"I was worried you wouldn't be able to defeat Kang Wei, but now it seems I was overthinking it."

After the battle, Lu Yan and Su Ziye left the arena, bought drinks at a vending machine, and took a short rest in a nearby park.

As for the outcome of the battle, neither side tried their best. In terms of pure destructive power, Lu Yan was still superior. Although Lu Yan was the fastest in speed, he was still a little weaker than Su Ziye.

If a fight really goes on, both sides are confident of winning.

After drinking some milk, Lu Yan asked casually:

"Brother Su, do you know where that Kang Wei came from? Since he is Kang Hui's younger brother, it stands to reason that even if there are means to enhance his strength, they should be given to Kang Hui."

Lu Yan was quite curious about why Kang Wei was taken away for training instead of the older Kang Hui.

"What a coincidence! I may not know other things, but I happen to know this."

Su Ziye smiled as he drank grape juice. "It's because of his talent. Kang Hui's talent is simple and clear. It increases his ability to resist water element cards."

"Kang Wei is different. His talent needs time to accumulate. What's it called? I think it's called [Dripping Water Wears Away Stone]. It's a growth-oriented talent. The longer it grows, the stronger it becomes."

According to Su Ziye, Kang Wei was taken to an unknown card domain three years ago. The flow of time in that card domain was also different from the reality. In short, he stayed there for a long time. Because of this, he became a 6-star card master after he came out.

Otherwise, with Kang Wei's own talent, normally his strength would definitely not be as good as his brother Kang Hui.

"Wait, a 6-star card master of the same age as me wouldn't actually be..."

Lu Yan suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Ziye. Speaking of which, the age range of the contestants is also something that card artists can easily change. Regarding this, Su Ziye shifted his gaze to the side:

"Well, whether it's a competition or a ranking, the so-called age range is determined by the time spent in the Card Master World since birth. Kang Wei is 20 years old, but if you count the time he's spent in the Card Domain, he might be in his thirties."

"Fuck, so that's how it is. There are such invisible rules. Is it true that someone in the Flower Card Master World can become a 22-star card master in 6 years?"

He was a little speechless. He was actually fighting with a man in his thirties. No wonder, Lu Yan had only been there for a year or two at other times.

“Yes, but none of them participated in the national competition.”

Su Ziye nodded seriously. As a 6-star card master, fear flashed in his eyes. "The top ten on the list are just monsters like this. The people behind them have more or less experienced card domains with different time speeds."

“Are they going to the World Series?”

"Ten to six will participate, but the five ahead won't. The same goes for the other four major nations. It's safe to say that those monster kids will definitely become 8-star card masters in the future."

After listening to Su Ziye's explanation about the rankings, Lu Yan also made certain divisions among the people on the rankings. One to five belong to the talents of a certain Heavenly Emperor or a certain Great Emperor, five to ten are one level below, and tenth and below are the next level below.

This was confirmed by Su Ziye. The actual situation was almost the same as what Lu Yan said, except that the difference was as huge as the gap between heaven and earth.

"Hey, Lu Yan,"

Having said that, Su Ziye couldn't help but ask, "You also have an epic talent, right?"

"No, it's legendary level, very suitable for combat."

Lu Yan smiled, and the captain's face was full of disbelief, as if he had determined that he was at the epic level.

Ensuring that he would not be killed instantly by Kang Wei with his own strength, Lu Yan felt relieved and spent the rest of his time wandering around Yan City, observing the capital of Mailong Kingdom, and wandering around the food street all day, trying all kinds of snacks.

Eating, drinking and having fun. For Lu Yan, eating and playing games are his only two hobbies. He doesn’t care much about other things.

"Here, let me give you a taste."

Lamia and Daisy changed into casual clothes and followed him. Lamia wore a gear-style dress, while Daisy wore a black and gray hoodie with a cute skull on the hood.

Lu Yan handed the milk tea to the two of them, took out a skewer from the snack bag, took a bite, frowned, and put it all in his mouth.

The difference in cooking quality among these shops in the snack street is enormous, with both delicious and unpalatable food coexisting. Even if Lu Yan picks what he likes, he will still encounter some pretty bad food.

"It tastes so bad." X2.

The voices intersected, and Lu Yan glanced sideways at the person who had made the same exclamation as him. The girl with long brown-gold hair and a somewhat silly look spat out the contents of her mouth into a plastic bag and also looked over at him.

She was a very ordinary girl, wearing a short-sleeved shirt. Lu Yan smiled and nodded at her, and walked in different directions, treating it as just a small episode in life.

About a few minutes after the two men crossed paths, a team of security personnel suddenly entered the snack street, holding their mobile phones and asking passers-by. When the captain saw Lu Yan, he thought about it and his eyes lit up.

"Mr. Lu Yan, have you seen Miss Tian Jianzi, or sensed any special energy fluctuations?"

As he spoke, the captain handed the photo in his mobile phone to Lu Yan, which showed the petite girl who had passed by him before.

Tian Jianzi?

Lu Yan retrieved the battle video of her from her mobile phone. As the second-ranked genius, she had fought with Kang Hui. In Lu Yan's impression, the girl in the video was completely different from the one she had passed by before.

When he saw the video, it was indeed true. Lu Yan didn't think about it too much. Perhaps it was because of the camouflage skills. The captain's expression changed slightly when he saw the video, but Lu Yan didn't notice it.

"She went over there. Can I ask her what she did?"

"This is the Youxiong family's business. I don't know much about it. Thank you for your help."

The anxious captain immediately left in the direction pointed by Lu Yan. He squinted his eyes and looked around. He could see more shadows dispersing in all directions, as if they wanted to find [Tian Jianzi] You Xiongli as quickly as possible.

"That captain is hiding something from us,"

Lamia took a sip of her milk tea and chewed on the pearls. "All the photos and videos of Tian Jianzi on the internet are the same as what you saw in the battle videos."

"Don't meddle in other people's business. It's probably someone else's family affair."

Lu Yan had no intention of getting involved. He didn't know the other person anyway, and he might not even see them once in the future.

"The preliminary round will be held tomorrow. Are you confident in yourself?"

Lamia asked curiously, this time the opponents can be said to be all the best, and as the third strongest person in the Magic City Card Master Academy, Lu Yan will have to contribute in the next battle.

He definitely couldn't participate in the team battle. Lu Yan and the academy's card master didn't have much cooperation, and if they fought, he thought the friendly injuries would be very serious, so he signed up for the individual battle.

"No problem. If you can't even make it through a single round, you'll be eliminated."

Chapter 370 The competition begins.

At exactly eight o'clock the next day, teams from all the academies were already waiting in the temporary entrance area of the arena.

That's right, the card domain has been artificially changed and filled with various equipment, becoming more like the large stadiums in the previous life. The card masters entered the card domain and sat in the audience seats, very excited about the upcoming battle.

Ordinary people and card players who were not at the scene naturally waited in front of the viewing equipment, waiting for the game to begin.

There was a lot of noise outside, but the lounges of each team were relatively quiet. Only the captains and technicians selected by each college were explaining things to the team members.

"The draw has already been completed. Since the competition is based on a rotational system and a points system..."

Su Ziye analyzed the battle mode and the best fighting method. As an external aid, Lu Yan did not want to listen. Instead, he sat cross-legged on his knees to calm himself down.

He knew very well what he should do. After all, he was not the captain and did not need to participate in team battles. He only needed to defeat his opponents. The rest of the things had nothing to do with him.

The Flame Crow stood on his shoulder, constantly jumping around in various parts of his body. After the captain gave instructions to the others, he turned around and explained the situation to the card masters responsible for individual battles one by one, and finally found Lu Yan:

"The first match is a difficult one. You'll be responsible for a 6-star card master who happens to be a few places ahead of you. The information is here. The venue will be randomly selected."

"Leave it to me with confidence. I won't let the Magic City Academy lose the few points I have."

Lu Yan nodded and said that individual battles are battles with more uncertainty. The venue and climate are random, and each team needs to allocate the combatants and arrange the order of appearance.

Before the distribution is completed, it is difficult to know what the other party is thinking. After the distribution is completed, a situation like Tian Ji's Horse Racing may occur.

The national competition also takes "planning" into account during the process. Anyone who can predict the order in which the opponent will appear will definitely gain a huge advantage.

The competition is based on a points system, and the final champion is the college with the highest points. The candidates for the World Championship are selected by artificial intelligence based on the performance of the crowd.

Lu Yan checked the information uploaded on his mobile phone. He had an 87% chance of facing a 6-star card master on the opposite side, and the remaining probability was naturally 5 stars.

There is no other way. The team competition accounts for a larger proportion of the points. If they want to win the championship, captain Su Ziye and vice-captain Cheng Shifei must join the team competition.

On the contrary, the opponent obviously had no intention of winning the championship. He wanted to play in a way that would leave a deep impression on the audience and make the individual battle look good enough.

"Han Yaozong..."

6-star card master [Fast Sword] Han Yaozong, 18 years old, one year younger than Lu Yan on the surface. He is good at swordsmanship and his sword speed is very fast. People who are hit by him don’t know how they were hit.

He usually wins more than he loses. Even when challenging people who are stronger than him in school, he will stop and admit defeat before showing his full strength. He is very cautious, just to shine in the national competition.

The upper limit of strength given in the data is assessed to be slightly weaker than Lu Yan. The assessment itself was given by Su Ziye, and in his opinion, Lu Yan is stronger.

"Now, let's welcome the teams participating in the national competition!"

The host's voice sounded on the radio, and thunderous cheers welcomed the arrival of many card masters.

Upon hearing the announcement, the students stood up nervously. For many of them, it was their first time to appear on TV and see such a grand scene.
