Chapter 325
Dibes is the pride of the sky.
At least that's what he thinks himself.
Before Wu Qi's awakening, he had always been the most talented of the younger generation in the town.
Moreover, his father is a well-known businessman and has a lot of money in his hands, which gives him access to many cards that the native children of this rural town can't reach.
In addition, he often learns about cards from the card holders hired by his father to protect his family's caravanserais.
Dibes' dream is to one day be able to leave this town in the wilderness and travel to the legendary holy land of mankind, the City of the Seven Kings.
In Dubes's opinion, he was born superior to those hillbillies, and even his father seemed vulgar in Dubes's eyes, so business could only be limited to a few towns in the middle of nowhere.
And this time, the enrollment of Anderson College is naturally an opportunity, the best opportunity to leave the border town and go to the human society inside the bustling Marian Wall!
But before that, he still has people who must be defeated.
That damn inferior!
"Don't show such a horrible face." Wu Ji walked into the competition arena with a relaxed face: "It's just that I won you once, do you need to mind so much?" β
"That's all you can talk about trash talk so far!" Guarding the terracotta figurines" Give it to me! β
Dibes shouted, and the tall statue beside him also rushed towards Wu Ji at a speed that could be regarded as fast with the sound of rumbling footsteps!
However, the distance between the two sides of the test field is more than 200 meters, and even if the speed is not slow, it takes a certain amount of time to run from one end to the other.
At this moment, a white horse that looked like a miracle had already appeared in front of Wu Qi.
The white horse's mane is as windless as a cloud, and only a few pieces of jing smelting iron armor are draped on the sturdy body, which protects the vital point while minimizing the weight and ensuring its speed.
The moment the white horse appeared, the eyes of the man in the costume in the audience lit up.
Although the civilians and those newcomers who had not been able to open the spiritual network for a long time could not notice it, he could clearly find that the young man who was called a freak by the mayor of the town had never used the spiritual network in the ** from beginning to end - you must know that as a channel for supplying spiritual power, using cards, especially biological cards, to activate and maintain the spiritual network is indispensable!
So if that boy didn't activate the spirit network to cast cards, where did the white horse on the stage come from?
So the man in the Chinese costume simply opened the card album that he hadn't put away, took out a treasure card with "Eye of Reading" written on the card, and activated the card under the somewhat surprised gaze of the old mayor beside him.
The effect of "Reading Eye" is twofold, one is that after the manifestation is successful, you can obtain the card information of the target creature treasure enchantment; The second is that after being worn on a creature, its next hit will always hit unless it is countered by the spell.
The target of the man in the Chinese costume using this card at this time is naturally the white horse in front of Wu Ji.
I saw a fist-sized, metallic silver-white sè eyeball suddenly appear in front of the man, and the pupils of the eyeballs flashed with a faint purple sè light, projecting the information of the white horse into the mind of his master.
"Ancient Famous Horse 9?Night Shine Jade Lion"
"Type: Creature-War Horse"
"Element: Earth"
"Star Tier: ββ"
"Rarity: Broken Bronze"
"Summoning conditions: You can activate 2 of any spirit network to summon the Night Jade Lion."
"Maintenance conditions: To maintain the Nightlight Jade Lion, you must occupy 1 arbitrary spirit network, otherwise you will send the Nightlight Jade Lion back to the card album after 3 minutes to cool down."
"Cut into the battlefield: 1 time per hour, when there are creatures on the enemy battlefield and there are no creatures on your battlefield, the Night Jade Lion can be specially summoned without paying a summoning fee."
"Zhao Yun Mount: When the Yezhao Jade Lion is sent into the graveyard in battle, you can specially summon a human creature with the card name 'Zhao Yun Zhao Zilong' from the card album graveyard."
"ATK: 300 DEF: 500"
"Notes: Also known as the Dragon Sparrow, the legendary horse can emit a glowing white glow at night, hence the name."
"It turned out to be a summoning fee reduced through the creature's special 'Cut to the Battlefield', so can it be summoned even if you don't activate the spirit network...... However, even so, without channeling spiritual power to summoned creatures through the spiritual network to maintain their existence, as long as three minutes have passed, this white horse named the Yezhao Jade Lion will be sent back to cool. What's more, the poor attack and defense levels are not the opponents of the "Guardian Terracotta Warriors" at all. β
The man in the fancy costume thought to himself, could it be that strange boy what else did he do?
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Wu Ji who still had a calm and breezy face rather playfully.
The Yezhao Jade Lion faced the huge clay puppet, flying with four hooves, and rushed forward without fear, but the difference in strength between the two was too great, and one was smashed to the ground by the other party.
The force of the smash was so great that there were cobweb-like cracks on the marble-paved ground with a deafening roar, and yellow dust splattered out of the cracks, and then the marble shards were lifted off by the ensuing shock wave, splashing around like a shotgun.
Wu Ji could even see through the scattered rubble the face of Dibes on the other side, distorted by excitement and fanaticism.
"It's over!" The moment the smoke rose from the night jade lion when it was destroyed, Dibes shouted.
It's over indeed. Wu Ji also said silently in his heart.
Silver Sè's spear poked out of the smoke screen and stabbed the "Guard Terracotta Warrior" several times like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, chiseling through countless rubbles and knocking the burly statue back a few steps.
The townsfolk who were still cheering for Dibes in the audience felt as if they had been choked by the throat, and the cheers came to an abrupt end.
A light breeze blew across the test room, blowing away the smoke screen to reveal the figure inside.
A heroic figure in white robe and silver armor held a coiled dragon and silver spear, standing handsomely on the smashed ground, facing the roaring colossus Ling Ran was not afraid.
The "Reading Eye" faithfully fulfilled its abilities and once again passed on the information of the white-robed Heroic Spirit to its master.
"Elegy for Heroes 5: Zhao Yun of the Silver Gun"
"Type: Creature - Heroic General"
"Element: Metal Earth"
"Star Tier: ββββ"
"Rarity: Perfect Bronze"
"Summoning conditions: You can activate 4 of any spirit network to summon Zhao Yun."
"Maintenance conditions: To maintain Zhao Yun, you must occupy 1 Jindi Xing Spiritual Network and 1 arbitrary spiritual network, if you don't do this, Zhao Yun will be sent back to the card album after 3 minutes to cool down."
"Desperate Salvation: You can send Zhao Yun back to the card album to cool down, and specially summon the creatures below three stars in the graveyard on the battlefield."
"Heroic Help: You can send a creature card with "Heroic" in the name of the card into the graveyard, if you do so, Zhao Yun's attack energy level will increase by 500"
"ATK: 1700 DEF: 1500"
"Notes: 'If you believe in the clouds, the clouds will keep the lord safe!' - Zhao Yun"
"Four-star creatures?! β¦β¦ I see, because there are too few spiritual networks in itself, there is usually no way to summon this card, so this way bypasses the summoning conditions and directly achieves the purpose of summoning......"
The man in the Chinese costume showed surprise on his face, and then gradually turned into appreciation, and his originally cold eyes also revealed a hint of smile: "I can actually be self-taught, thinking of this kind of chain, it seems that my treasure card can't be saved." β
The old mayor on the side was already stunned.
Although I knew that the little freak had some means, I didn't expect to be able to summon a four-star creature...... Except for the adventurers who occasionally passed through Deep Forest Town, they hadn't seen four-star creatures yet. Even the main force of those card holders hired by Dibes' family is only three stars!
Dibes was also taken aback, although he didn't have the "Eye of Reading" and couldn't get Zhao Yun's exact information, but the opponent's attack energy level was obviously higher than his own summoned creatures. But soon he came back to his senses and began to command his "guard terracotta figurines", using his bloated body and the legendary heroes in white and silver robes to fight a retreating guerrilla war.
And Wu Zhi was not in a hurry, commanding Zhao Yun to walk forward, only when he approached the other party, he shot like a dragon, and poked holes in the huge body of Tuhuang Sè!
If the "Guardian Clay Figurines" weren't a construct creature, and hadn't been stabbed in the core so far, it would have died several times long ago.
Seeing this, Dibes couldn't help but be very happy: Wu blamed that idiot, obviously he was incapable of maintaining the existence of this creature, and he was still fighting so unhurriedly in order to pretend, as long as he continued to maneuver, when the maintenance time came, when this creature returned to the card album to cool down, it was when he was defeated!
At this time, Wu Ji, who was holding his arms on his chest, suddenly turned up slightly at the corners of his mouth, and asked Dibes: "I said, do you think that when Zhao Yun's maintenance time comes, you will be able to win me, right?" β
Dibes, who was told the central matter, was stunned, and Wu Ji stretched out his right hand and smiled slightly: "Then I'll show you something good, Zhao Yun!" β
The silver-helmeted hero, who had defeated the Colossus on the battlefield, stopped the spear in his hand and turned back and nodded to Wu Ji.
Then the figure disappeared, replaced by a white horse with an incomparable horse!
"Thisβthis is ...... That horse just now? Dibes was stunned.
Before the words fell, the "Ancient Famous Horse 9 Night Shine Jade Lion" was once again beaten to the ground by the majestic "Guard Pottery Figurines".
At the next moment when the jade lion disappeared, Zhao Yun's terrifying figure once again appeared in Dibes's eyes.
Everything in front of him made the merchant's son look incredulous.
Although Zhao Yun can only last for three minutes, he can re-summon the Yezhao Jade Lion in the cemetery into the battlefield through the ability of 'Desperate Salvation', and then as long as Zhao Yun is pulled out again through the ability of the Yezhao Jade Lion, Zhao Yun's three-minute maintenance time can be refreshed!
And the maintenance cost of the Yezhao Jade Lion itself only needs to occupy a spiritual network, and even Wu Ji can maintain it. Even if the "Guardian Terracotta Warrior" does not attack the Jade Lion, Wu Ji can still make the Jade Lion accumulate enough damage to defeat the Colossus through multiple attacks.
In the face of the infinitely refreshed Night Jade Lion and Zhao Yun, no matter how reluctant Dibis was, he could only admit defeat.
It was supposed to be like this.
"You, you pariah!! Damn inferior!! But Wu Ji's calm and breezy appearance became a mocking scorn in Dibes's eyes, and the dead fish eyes that were a little sleepy because of lack of sleep also turned into contemptuous eyes.
Being defeated by an inferior person who he looked down on in front of everyone, which made him, who had never experienced a setback since he was a child, lose his mind, and shouted hysterically: "Guard the terracotta figurine, don't care about that horse!" Kill that damn pariah for me! β
If it was an ordinary village boy, maybe he would really be beaten half to death, but Wu Ji was the one who came out alive from the Tianzang Tower, and the monsters in the Tianzang Tower didn't pay attention to the rules, and almost all the time he had to suffer from those monsters bypassing the summoned creatures and directly attacking him.
This also developed the habit of Wu Ji always keeping an eye on his surroundings, and when the "Guard Pottery Figurines" came to him with a big stride, Wu Ji, who had already been prepared, flashed out of the opponent's attack range with a light roll.
At the same time, he secretly held a card in his hand.
But before he could cast it, the "Guardian Terracotta Warrior" had already fallen apart.
"Humph! What do you think I'm going to be, Kiora? Is Killorian transparent! β
The man in the fancy costume appeared in the competition hall at some point, and beside him was a giant brown wolf covered in bone armor and barbs.
The three-star "Guard Terracotta Warriors" just now turned into a pile of meaningless fragments under the slap of this giant wolf!
"Your mindset is twisted too much, Dibes! Once you've put yourself in the right place, take the Anderson College entrance exam! β
As the judgmental words of the man named Dobeys came out, Dibes fell to his knees in the messy arena as if he had been drained of his strength, and lost his mind for a long time in the smoke screen created by the disappearance of the "Guard Terracotta Figurines......
;
Wu Ji quietly put the card in his hand back into the card album, and then didn't care about Dibes, and went straight to the side of the man in Chinese clothes, Kiora.
"As you can see, I've won this contest."
He only said half of what he said and didn't say any more, just looking at each other with a smile.
"Do you think I'm going to pay off?"
Kiora glared at Wu, who scratched his head with a dry smile, but didn't deny it.
"Oh, take it!" Qiora was glared at by Wu Ji's attitude, and raised his hand to throw the "No.37-Xia Yu Xuanyuan Sword" to him.
After Wu Ji caught the card and put it into the designated card grid of the card book, several system prompts popped up on the system information page in a row.
"Detected a new 'no.' in the card album and obtained a life counter."
"Detected a new "no." in the card album, opening a new spiritual network."
"A new "no." has been detected in the card album, and the basic rank system has been activated.γ
Feeling the power gushing out of his body, Wu Ji couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement to try.
But now in full view, naturally can't show all this.
"Wu Qi, I invite you once again on behalf of Anderson College."
After all, Kiora is also a professor at Anderson College, and she quickly calmed down and sent an invitation to the little guy in front of her, whom the old mayor called a freak: "Your talent must be best displayed there." β
He understands very well that the other party is not a freak, but a rare excellent seedling.
In the battle just now, from beginning to end, Wu Ji has been intentionally or unintentionally through subtle movements and adjustments, so that he stands outside the attack range of the "Guardian Clay Figurines", whenever the colossus is facing him, he will also lean forward to lower the medium-sized, and his knees are slightly bent, showing a posture that can exert force at any time, even if he is attacked, he can dodge in an instant!
Perhaps the movements can be learned, and the postures can be practiced, but the sense of crisis that seems to be engraved in the bones is something that ordinary people cannot imitate no matter what.
Based on this alone, Kiora could be sure that Wu Ji had indeed survived in the Heavenly Treasure Pagoda for a while.
In addition, what made Chiora even more remarkable was that from the beginning to the end of the entire duel, Wu Ji did not use his spiritual network once, and purely relied on the effect of the card to achieve the purpose of hanging Dibes......
This is undeniably due to those two rare cards, but Kiora knows that cards are not easy to use in their hands, and the compatibility with the cards will only grow after a long run-in, and then speed up the speed of casting or activation.
Being able to control the difference in the time difference between the effects of two cards by a fraction of a millimeter is itself a testament to Wu's ability, not to mention the skillful and clever tactics.
Of course, Kiora didn't know that there was a kind of guy called a traverser in this world that couldn't be measured by common sense.
"I'm sorry, but my ambition is to be a tourist."
Wu Ji shook his head without hesitation and refused.
Just kidding, he finally got a "No." card to extend his life by a month, how could he waste all this month in that academy!
In his opinion, while traveling to inquire about the whereabouts of other "No." cards, it is the right way to get more life counters as soon as possible in the Azzo Tower, which has fewer Raider rings.
"You really don't think about it anymore?"
Kiora asked, still not giving up.
Without waiting for Wu Ji to refuse again, Dorothy, who had dragged him here, trotted to him, pulled his sleeve, and whispered to him: "Why don't you accept it!" Anderson is a famous academy, and it is said that those who graduate from there can directly obtain the Orange Emblem holder level certified by the kingdom! β
Wu Ji looked back at the girl and found that although Dorothy pouted and made a cute expression of 'you guys really don't know what to do', she could feel a trace of envy, loss and loneliness in the depths of her eyes.
After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Wu Ji raised his head and asked Kiora: "Mr. Killorian, let's be honest with you, in fact, I still have some things to do, even if I go to the academy, I will definitely not be able to stay in it all the time, I will definitely have to go out every once in a while......"
"It's not a big deal. Anderson encouraged the students to go out and practice. β
Kiora stared at Wu Ji with burning eyes: "But you have to make sure that what you are going to do is not bad, and you will not ruin Anderson's reputation." β
"Please rest assured of that. I'm certainly not going to do anything that would disgrace Anderson College. β
Wu Ji nodded, and didn't explain much, and then he said, "I have another request. β
"Tell me about it."
"I hope this guy can go to the academy with me as well."
Wu Ji grabbed the neck of the girl next to him, poked the girl's soft cheek and said.
Dorothy didn't react for a moment, and then Hongxia gradually dyed her cute face with a little baby fat.
"Wait...... What are you talking about? β
She hurriedly struggled out of Wu Qi's arms, waved her hands at a loss, and said in a panic.
But there was a hint of expectation in her voice.
"It doesn't matter, she has already met the admission standards, but her sense of battle is too weak, and the female xing is already slightly weaker than the male xing......" Kiora raised her eyebrows, and unexpectedly did not object: "But you'd better reconsider, every school year Anderson will conduct an assessment, and unqualified students will be expelled...... To be honest, I don't think this lady has the potential to pass Anderson's graduation exam. β
Kiora's meaning is clear: being expelled for poor grades is more embarrassing than not being admitted.
"That's right...... I appreciate your kindness, but even if you enter Anderson, you may not be able to graduate......" Dorothy hung her head a little sadly, her reddish bangs covering the girl's eyes, so that people could not see her expression.
"Fighting consciousness or anything is secondary," Wu Ji didn't care about this, he asked Dorothy with a serious face: "That kind of thing can be strengthened through the tempering of the day after tomorrow, and the most important thing is confidence in yourself." Dorothy, let me ask you again, do you want to go to Anderson? β
"Of course I want to go! People dream of going to card academies, but they're not as good as you and Dibes! β
The girl bit her lip and replied loudly unwillingly for a while.
"Just try to catch up with me?" Wu Ji smiled at this time: "Don't worry, I will also help, becoming a card holder is not as difficult as you think." Let's go down this road together! β
"Wu Zhi ......"
The girl sniffed, her voice sounding a little choked.
"In that case, the medical expenses and food expenses I owe to Uncle Binns should be settled."
Seeing that the girl's eyes were red and she looked moved, Wu Ji clasped her arms on her chest, looked proud, and said very ruinly.
"Huh?" Dorothy blinked, a little bewildered, and let out a puzzled sound.
"Even if I always rely on your house to eat and drink for nothing, I will be embarrassed~"
Wu Ji let out an 'ahaha' smirk, which made Dorothy's expression fall suddenly.
"What...... Wu blames you big idiot! The girl yelled into his ear, making Wu Ji feel as if his eardrum had been shattered for a moment.
"Where are you going?" Seeing the girl turn around and leave angrily, Wu Ji asked in his left ear, which was quite injured.
"Go home and pack your bags, and talk to Dad by the way!"
The girl replied without looking back, and then her figure disappeared around the corner.
Kiora on the side curled the corners of her mouth playfully.
Although the little ghost named Wu Ji seemed to be very out of tune, but after being gaged by him like this, the girl's tension had almost disappeared.
Nervousness is not a good emotion for card holders, and it tends to make mistakes frequently. The girl named Dorothy had a tendency to be overly nervous when she took the test before. If she can maintain her current mentality in the future entrance review exam, at least there should be no problem in passing.
Obviously, he took great pains for the sake of the girl but would not be noticed by the parties, it seems that this little ghost is indeed a little interesting.
