Supreme Star Card Master

"Damn it!"

In the face of the meteorite falling towards his head, Yang Xu’s heart pounded wildly. Star Power surged around him as he prepared to accelerate away.

However, Su Yuan had already prepared. A burst of gray light flashed in his palm, and Elemental Magnetism Pressure pressed down ruthlessly!

"What?!"

Yang Xu staggered, feeling the sudden extreme gravity pressing down on his body. He was shocked, and his face paled a few shades!

"Shit!" A young referee nearby couldn’t help but curse. He only wanted to vent his frustration.

Wasn’t this supposed to be a duel between two Bronze Middle Stage fighters? Was it necessary to go this hard?

Damn, even I might not be able to take this hit. How am I supposed to conduct an emergency rescue?

This genius from Demon Academy, you better withstand it!

Besides determining the winner, referees in the Dueling Hall had to ensure both parties’ safety as much as possible. If something went wrong, they would bear some responsibility.

At the very least, their paycheck would definitely get docked!

In the nick of time, Yang Xu roared in fury. The flaming mark on his forehead emitted an extremely bright light, and his red buzz cut seemed to ignite. His aura surged in an instant!

Yang Xu gripped his spear tightly with both hands, spun on the spot, and struck the green-flamed meteorite with full force.

Gun Technique: Uprooting Weeping Willows!

"Boom!"

There was a loud explosion. Red and green flames swept in all directions.

Moments later, the fierce flames dissipated.

In the shattered arena, Yang Xu knelt on one knee, his right hand completely dislocated, his clothes tattered and bloodstained, gasping heavily.

Nearby, two gigantic Hellfires stood up, surrounding him from front and back.

"Damn, those two huge flaming stone giants were the meteorite just now?!"

"Looks like it. My goodness, they seem really strong!"

"Were they summoned by that person? Such a powerful summoning!"

...

Not only were the spectators abuzz, but even those on other stages were stunned by the domineering appearance of the Hellfires, causing many to momentarily halt their battles.

Below the stage, Geng Qiuyi crossed his arms and looked at the two Hellfires, clicking his tongue in wonder, "This is Hellfire? Finally seeing it today! With such a powerful aura, I might not even be a match..." @@novelbin@@

Not far away, Ji Xuan was also struck by the sight of the Hellfires and the silver-eyed youth who summoned them. He suddenly realized something.

"Su Yuan... Oh right, the freshman that caused quite a stir in the Southeast regions recently, and even claimed to be the number one in the Southeast, turns out to be him!"

The incident at South Pole Academy months ago was widely talked about. Even students in Demon City had heard of it.

Although they didn’t know the specifics, they knew there was a freshman named "Su Yuan" whose strength seemed considerable in the Southeast Region.

"These two stone men... are a bit strong."

Ji Xuan’s eyes glowed slightly, seemingly seeing through the power of the two Hellfires. He took another look at the heavily injured Yang Xu and couldn’t help but frown.

On the stage, Su Yuan was relentless. With a thought, the two Hellfires simultaneously assumed their armed forms, wielding the Demon Great Sword and smashing towards Yang Xu in the middle.

Yang Xu’s forehead blazed. He picked up the fallen red long spear with his left hand and deftly dodged the great swords coming at him from front and back, moving to the right leg of one Hellfire.

"Eight-direction Fire, Shocking Flame Spear!"

Yang Xu let out a roar, and a large swath of flames erupted from his body, converging on the spear’s tip.

In an instant, the tip of the spear glowed with intense flames, condensing to a high-density fire element at the point!

"Kill!"

Yang Xu thrust the spear, and a red line flashed, striking heavily at the right knee of the Hellfire!

However, despite this full-force strike, it only penetrated half a foot, not piercing through the thick knee of the Hellfire!

"How is this possible?!"

Yang Xu was stunned, completely unexpecting the stone man’s defense to be this strong!

The Hellfire, "shot in the knee," roared angrily. The Demon Great Sword in its hand swung back, slashing towards Yang Xu below.

Yang Xu quickly regained his composure from the shock, hurriedly pulled out the spear to block.

At the moment of the collision, Yang Xu felt an unimaginably powerful force. His own strength, even when enhancement skills were pushed to the limit, fell short!

Naturally, Hellfire had no enhancement skills. However, it possessed the Demon Great Sword, comparable to a Blue Star Artifact, significantly boosting its strength!

The Demon Great Sword and Demon Armor didn’t have many flashy effects but primarily augmented Hellfire’s strength and defense respectively.

In such a full-force strike, how could Yang Xu block it single-handedly?

Yang Xu let out a muffled grunt on the spot, being smashed back several steps!

At this moment, the Hellfire behind also swung its sword. Yang Xu had no choice but to hurriedly turn around and block...

"Boom boom boom boom..."

In just a few moments, Yang Xu was like a sandbag, being smashed back and forth by the two Hellfires, barely able to maintain his footing and avoid being knocked down.

Although Hellfire had been torn apart by the Three-legged Golden Crow and the Purple Flame Mad Lion before, it truly wasn’t something an ordinary Bronze Middle Stage could handle.

Even if the opponent was a genius from Demon Academy!

"Stop, we surrender!"

Yang Xu was still holding on, but Ji Xuan, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke up.

The young referee was also stunned by the strength of Su Yuan and Yang Xu. No sign of impatience remained.

Hearing Ji Xuan, the young referee hurriedly confirmed, "Are you sure you can represent him?"

Ji Xuan nodded, "Yes."

"Alright," the young referee took one last look at the names of both sides, "Yang Xu surrenders. Su Yuan wins this duel."

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan commanded his two Hellfires to stop.

Covered in blood and barely conscious, Yang Xu leaned on his long spear, looking up at Su Yuan with eyes full of anger and unwillingness, yet he had no objections to Ji Xuan surrendering on his behalf.

It wasn’t a life-and-death battle. The outcome was already clear.

Yang Xu also knew he had lost. However, the stakes of this duel were too high, making him reluctant to surrender.

Ji Xuan leaped to Yang Xu’s side, checking his injuries.

"External wounds are minor, just abrasions, but internal injuries are severe..."

Yang Xu gritted his teeth and said, "I’m fine."

Ji Xuan frowned, "Better not move. Wait for the healer to come."

Just then, Su Yuan, with hands in his pockets, walked up to them.

Yang Xu’s left hand gripped the long spear tightly, the flaming mark on his forehead flaring up intensely as he glared at Su Yuan.

Never did he expect to be tripped up by a student from Demon Capital Academy today!

Su Yuan didn’t care about his stare and said lightly, "The Star Stones?"

Hearing this, Yang Xu felt a pain in his chest, almost spitting out blood.

Twelve-hundred Cent Star Stones... twelve-hundred Cent Star Stones!

Ji Xuan turned his hand, revealing four square Star Stones, and said to Yang Xu, "Give them to him."

Yang Xu took a deep breath, finally pulling out eight square Star Stones.

Twelve in total, all standard 1-cubic-decimeter Star Stones, handed over to Su Yuan.

Su Yuan accepted the twelve Star Stones, feeling elated.

"Thanks for your generosity. I’ll offer you some healing as a friendly gesture."

As he spoke, Su Yuan lifted his hand, and a beam of Holy Light fell on Yang Xu. It was Holy Baptism.

The effect of Transformation Realm’s Holy Baptism was excellent. Yang Xu’s internal and external injuries rapidly healed under the Holy Light. However, anger surged in Yang Xu, and the blood accumulated in his chest could be held back no longer!

"Pfft!"

Yang Xu spat out a mouthful of fresh blood!

Su Yuan quickly moved aside, puzzled, "Strange, was it because I haven’t used this move for too long and got rusty?"

"You..." Yang Xu glared at Su Yuan, unable to utter another word.

"You look spirited, seems fine. In that case, I’ll be off."

Su Yuan smiled, intending to recall his Hellfires and leave.

"Hold on," Ji Xuan suddenly called to Su Yuan, "I’m Ji Xuan, also from Demon Academy. Would you spar with me since your green flame stone men are still here?"

"Ji Xuan? You’re Ji Xuan!"

Su Yuan didn’t recognize him. However, the young referee exclaimed suddenly.

As someone in Demon City, the young referee knew some famous Star Card Masters from Demon Academy, including the two super geniuses of this year’s freshmen, Ji Xuan and Wen Chenwei!

Su Yuan asked Ji Xuan, "Do you have a wager?"

"Wager?" Ji Xuan was stunned. Then he shook his head, "No, I don’t have more Star Stones now. I just wanted to spar with you. I’ve heard of you, the number one freshman in the Southeast."

"Number one freshman in the Southeast? What’s that? Sounds impressive!" The young referee was astonished, feeling like he was onto a big scoop.

"If you’ll spar, I’ll stay and continue being the referee," the young referee patted his chest, "I love overtime!"

Yang Xu was initially stunned. Then he remembered the rumors about the "number one freshman in the Southeast" a few months ago. He couldn’t help but revaluate Su Yuan, his expression becoming complicated.

Unexpectedly, such a master appeared in the Southeast Region!

And just happened to be the one he encountered!

Su Yuan shook his head, "Let’s skip the sparring. I have something to do. Maybe next time."

Su Yuan raised his hand, reopening the Gate of Hell, sending the Hellfires back, then turned to leap off the stage toward Geng Qiuyi.

"As expected, no suspense. I knew it..." Geng Qiuyi felt a bit bored.

Su Yuan’s Hellfires were too strong. It made it hard to see his true strength, especially the Five-leaf Essence Skill obtained from the Ten Thousand Demon Sleeping Ground!

Su Yuan took out six newly acquired Star Stones and handed them to Geng Qiuyi.

Geng Qiuyi was stunned, "What do you mean?"

Su Yuan smiled, "You did the luring, I did the fighting. Naturally, it’s a fifty-fifty split."

Geng Qiuyi initially wanted to refuse but, after a moment of thought, grinned, "You’re generous, Young Master Su. I’ll accept it!"

Su Yuan knew Geng Qiuyi spent a fortune getting the Phoenix Nirvana Stone, which wasn’t conducive to his future cultivation.

Although Geng Qiuyi said it was to return a favor, Su Yuan still wanted to compensate him as much as possible.

Geng Qiuyi understood Su Yuan’s sentiment, so he didn’t decline.

Close friends didn’t need to be so calculative...

"Ji Xuan, can you win against him?" Staring at the backs of Su Yuan and Geng Qiuyi, Yang Xu asked in a deep voice.

Ji Xuan’s eyes flickered and he said slowly, "I can handle those stone men, but I don’t know if he has other tricks.

However, there should be plenty of information about him in the Southeast. We can check that out."

Ji Xuan dissipated the light in his eyes and smiled, "It seems there will be another strong contender in the upcoming Holy Spring competition. Truly exciting...

Those two in Capitol City probably don’t know that Demon Capital Academy has produced such an expert. It will be amusing then."

Thinking of this, Ji Xuan couldn’t help but smile.
