Supreme Star Card Master

"Su Yuan, you're here!"

Xia Yue, Mu Qingyu, and others from Demon Capital Academy felt somewhat relieved when they saw Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong coming over.

Earlier, the other major academies seemed to have a united front against Demon Capital Academy. Zhang Tai had just lost after getting on the stage, and Xiang Dingqian didn't strongly defeat his opponent either. The people from Demon Capital Academy were feeling some pressure.

But now that Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong had arrived, everyone felt at ease.

Su Yuan nodded, walked over to Zhang Tai, who was sitting not far with a pale face, and asked, "How are you feeling?"

"I'm okay." Zhang Tai grinned. "Just a bit weak."

Shang Baiyu, who was beside them, also said to Su Yuan, "Zhang Tai's constitution isn't weak. After resting tonight, he should be mostly recovered by tomorrow morning."

Xia Yue took a few steps closer, lowered her voice, and said to Su Yuan, "It seems like all the academies have plans against us."

"Plans?"

Su Yuan glanced around at the hundreds of students from the various academies. Apart from the host South Pole Academy, all the other academies had a few experts eyeing Demon Capital Academy eagerly.

Besides these would-be challengers, many watching students were also eager to see some action or a joke.

After looking around, Su Yuan roughly understood the current situation.

"A standout tree will be destroyed by the wind. Demon Capital Academy stands too tall, inviting these other academies to stir up trouble."

"If they think they can laugh at Demon Capital Academy, they're wrong." Su Yuan chuckled. "Don't worry, no matter what, I'm here."

Seeing Su Yuan so relaxed despite so many hostile gazes, Xia Yue's heart skipped a beat. But she crossed her arms and snorted, "You sure have a big mouth!"

Su Yuan smiled but said nothing more. Looking around, he asked, "Where's Lu Yingying? I don't see her."

"Yingying?" Xia Yue was also puzzled. "She was just here, but suddenly said she had something to do and left."

"She just left..."

Su Yuan nodded slightly but then thought of something.

Geng Qiuyi had also separated from him. Could it be... a plot for a hero to save the damsel in distress?

No way...

Su Yuan's expression turned a bit strange.

"What is it?" Xia Yue asked.

"Nothing..."

Su Yuan shook his head. It's best not to speculate on other people's matters.

...

It wasn't long before the situation on the field changed again.

Xiang Dingqian, gasping for breath, had beads of sweat on his forehead. Maintaining the Heavenly Gang General took a lot of physical strength and Star Power.

Not only that, under the bombardment of Thunder Magic enhanced by the Thunder Thorns Staff, the Heavenly Gang General was injured in many places. This fed back and caused Xiang Dingqian himself to suffer numerous injuries.

On the other side, Chen Jiujun wasn't faring well either. Although he hadn't been directly hit by the Fangtian Halberd of the Heavenly Gang General, he was struck by the Heavenly Gang Energy emitted from the halberd, leaving his body with silver electric shocks. He couldn't maintain his Elementalization for long.

Chen Jiujun knew very well that even though he hadn't sustained obvious injuries, he seemed to have the upper hand compared to his opponent.

But in reality, once Elementalization couldn't be maintained, his flesh would never withstand the astonishing slashes of the Heavenly Gang General. He feared he would be defeated in an instant!

Thinking of this, Chen Jiujun knew he couldn't drag this out any longer.

Seeing the unstoppable Heavenly Gang General slashing toward him with the halberd, Chen Jiujun's body glowed silver and flickered violently, suddenly exploding into four silver arcs that dodged the halberd and shot towards the four corners of the Real Battlefield!

Xiang Dingqian turned but saw that the four silver arcs had all turned into Chen Jiujun.

Each of the four Chen Jiujun held a Thunder Thorns Staff, surrounded by Twin Snakes, covered in silver electricity, and looked imposing!

Since Chen Jiujun used clones to buy time, he wouldn't remain idle.

The four identical Thunder Clones stepped forward simultaneously. Immediately, a dense torrent of silver currents rose from around them, like splendid flowing tassels, radiating bone-chilling waves!

Chen Jiujun extended his Thunder Thorns Staff. The numerous tassels seemed to find a vent, rushing into the staff.

"Zzzla, zzzla…"

Under the infusion of a vast amount of silver electricity, the thorn patterns on the Thunder Thorns Staff began to glow from the end.

"Thunder Clones, huh?" Xiang Dingqian squinted his eyes.

Chen Jiujun's actions were clearly to buy time for a big move.

But even though he understood, the four clones looked identical in appearance, demeanor, and aura, making it hard to tell the real one.

Xiang Dingqian suddenly sneered. "No matter if it's real or not, I'll cut them all down!"

More Heavenly Gang Energy surged from Xiang Dingqian, all flowing into the halberd of the Heavenly Gang General.

In an instant, the previously semi-solid Fangtian Halberd rapidly solidified, appearing like a true Divine Weapon.

Partial solidification!

Once an Ancient General reached perfection, they could fully solidify, greatly enhancing their power.

Now, Xiang Dingqian could partially solidify his weapon. Concentrating the solidification on the halberd's front edge!

Xiang Dingqian's eyes shone with divine light. He controlled the Heavenly Gang General to grip the Fangtian Halberd and made a sweeping round strike!

Breaking Formation· Shocking Bow Full Moon!

Centered around Xiang Dingqian, a substantial ring-shaped sliver of Saber Light shot out rapidly, striking the four Thunder Clones!

"Bang bang bang!"

Three clones exploded into thunder elements almost instantly.

Only the Chen Jiujun in the east corner used Twin Thunder Snakes to bite a gap in the ring-shaped sliver of Saber Light.

"Caught you!" Xiang Dingqian smirked, charging forward, raising the Fangtian Halberd to defeat Chen Jiujun before he completed his charge!

Chen Jiujun's heart sank. He hadn't expected Xiang Dingqian to find his true body so quickly. His charging of the Thunder Thorns Staff was only half completed.

This Thunder Clones, which he cultivated to Great Success, was a green skill that couldn't be easily destroyed without strong attacks.

But Xiang Dingqian was terrifying, destroying three clones with one move.

"Very well, the outcome will be decided in this strike!"

Seeing Xiang Dingqian charging like an unmatched general, Chen Jiujun made a decisive move. He pointed with his left hand, and the Twin Thunder Snakes flew at Xiang Dingqian.

Mid-way, the Twin Thunder Snakes burst into blinding silver lights.

With a series of Thunder Roar, the two thunder snakes rapidly grew, turning into thunder dragons several meters long.@@novelbin@@

In a flash, the two thunder dragons coiled around the legs of the Heavenly Gang General, anchoring him in place!

Xiang Dingqian tried to break free, but the two thunder dragons, formed by Chen Jiujun's blue soul skill, were running in overdrive. Even the Heavenly Gang General couldn't break free in a few seconds.

In those few moments, Chen Jiujun's charging of the Thunder Thorns Staff was nearly complete.

A dark lightning ball, wrapped in black electricity, appeared at the tip of the Thunder Thorns Staff, slowly growing larger.

"Crackle!…"

The dark lightning ball radiated such an aura it made one's scalp tingle just by looking.

"What incredible power!"

Xiang Dingqian's complexion changed slightly. Even the Heavenly Gang General might not withstand such an attack!

"Alright, if you don't defend, neither will I!"

With fighting spirit boiling in his eyes, Xiang Dingqian let out a shout. The Heavenly Gang General's armor pieces exploded, turning into Heavenly Gang Energy that poured into the Fangtian Halberd.

The Heavenly Gang General's upper body was now bare. But the Fangtian Halberd solidified completely.

Military Soul Transformation· Broken Armor Naked Clothes!

"Zheng!"

A bright halberd cry echoed from the solidified Fangtian Halberd, its tip gleaming fiercely.

With gleaming power in his eyes, Xiang Dingqian controlled the Heavenly Gang General to lift the Fangtian Halberd for a downward strike.

Breaking Formation· Mountain Opening!

A burst of cold light, a streak of silver brilliance, a severe Sky-reaching Silver Gang shot out from the halberd!

Almost simultaneously, Chen Jiujun's Thunder Thorns Staff's dark lightning ball erupted in a destructive black electric beam!

Thunder Thorns Staff· Black Thorns Light Breaking Cannon!

White against black. Saber Light against Thunder Light.

With a tremendous explosion, dazzling light flooded the hall. The black-and-white light beams stung everyone's eyes, forcing them to close!

"What the heck, what happened?!"

"I can't see!"

"Who won?!"

...

Su Yuan squinted slightly, gazing calmly at the collision's outcome with his silver pupils.

Moments later, Su Yuan's expression shifted slightly. "Such a scenario is truly rare..."

As the light dispersed, the scene on the field became clear.

Xiang Dingqian and Chen Jiujun both sat slumped on the ground, battered and exhausted.

The Heavenly Gang General was gone. Xiang Dingqian's shirt had exploded, his body covered in bloody welts from the thunder elements, blood dripping from his mouth as he gasped, his Star Power nearly depleted.

Chen Jiujun was worse off. Xiang Dingqian's Mountain Opening strike's Silver Gang was too sharp. Even the Black Thorns Light Breaking Cannon couldn't diminish it fully.

Chen Jiujun had relied on his Star Power overload operating the Thunder Element Body to block it. His Thunder Element Body shattered, leaving a scar over a foot long on his chest.

"It seems... a draw?" Some inside the hall, full of awe, spoke uncertainly.

"Looks like... they both reached their limit."

"A draw? How could it be a draw?" A blue-haired youth from Liu Zhou Academy suddenly sneered.

Squinting seriously at the exhausted pair, the blue-haired youth coldly said, "One is a warrior, the other a magician. Can't you see who won? Foolish!"

Though harsh, his words woke everyone up.

At that moment, Xiang Dingqian rose shakily, walking to the pale Chen Jiujun.

"You lost."

Xiang Dingqian pointed his spear at Chen Jiujun.

"Lose to me... and you think you can challenge him?"

"You're not qualified!"
