Chapter 94: Chapter 82: Entrance Chapter 94: Chapter 82: Entrance “`
The battle between low stage Star Card Masters was still very fast.
In less than half an hour, there were five consecutive matches.
And this time slot was specially arranged by the student council, all challenges were at the Bronze level against the 28 qualifying students of the Burning Sun class.
Five challenges, with challengers ranked as high as 31 and as low as 106, but none succeeded in their challenges.
“Next group, Wang Qiang challenges Su Yuan.”
“Finally, it’s my turn,” Su Yuan nodded and said to Luo Bingtong, “Wait here for me, don’t wander off.”
Luo Bingtong nodded.
Wang Qiang was the first to take the stage.
He was a lean guy, ranked 89th in the freshman list, with a top-grade green Soul Card, agile movements, and sharp eyes, appearing quite alert.
Soon, Su Yuan followed him up.
However, Su Yuan didn’t hurry to the center of the battlefield but approached Qin Jia, who was in charge of adjudicating.
“Senior Qin, I have three challenges, right?”
Qin Jia remembered meeting this special admission student at the school gate yesterday.
He nodded and said, “Yes, you have three.
Don’t worry about a marathon, we’ll arrange the three matches spaced out so you can recover.”
But Su Yuan said, “I actually want you to arrange all three matches together.”
“Are you sure?” Qin Jia thought Su Yuan didn’t realize the strength of his opponents and reminded, “All those ranked within the top 100 are not weak.
Wang Qiang is 89th, and the next two, He Huanyan and Luo Wenbin, are ranked 44th and 52nd respectively.”
“Yes, I’m sure,” Su Yuan nodded.
If it wasn’t necessary to go one-on-one, Su Yuan would directly face all three at once.
Qin Jia frowned slightly, thinking Su Yuan was being overconfident, but since he insisted, he let it be.
“Alright, that’s fine,” Qin Jia agreed and casually adjusted the upcoming sequence.
“Thanks for the trouble, Senior,” Su Yuan thanked him and then walked to the center of the field.
Although the conversation was not loud, since Qin Jia was near the edge, some new students nearby heard Su Yuan talking to Qin Jia.
“This Su Yuan has some nerve.”
“Indeed, quite daring.
I saw Luo Bingtong with him earlier.
Anyone knows his background?”
A brown-haired young man behind them leaned over and said, “You guys are really ignorant.
Although I don’t know his background, according to the information I got on the forum, he is the top-ranked special admission student, in the same group as Luo Bingtong and Capitol City’s Xiang Dingqian.”
“You mean he’s stronger than Luo Bingtong?!”
The brown-haired youth chuckled, “I can’t guarantee it, we’ll see soon enough!”
On the battlefield, Wang Qiang pulled out a long knife and said solemnly, “I heard what you talked to that senior about.
It seems you are quite confident in your strength?”
Su Yuan nodded, “Fairly confident.”
To become a top player, while avoiding arrogance, one must have a realistic understanding of oneself.
With his current strength, Su Yuan was confident that below the silver level, it was hard for anyone to pose a threat to him; only top-tier geniuses like Luo Bingtong could make him exert some effort.
Hearing this, Wang Qiang frowned slightly.
The opponent looked ordinary but exuded such strong confidence it caused him some pressure.
Seeing that Su Yuan hadn’t drawn his weapon yet, Wang Qiang said, “Get ready quickly, I’m coming.”
Su Yuan nodded, his right hand’s Demon Ring glowed with a faint light.
Then, he formed seals with both hands and slashed fiercely in front of him.
The pitch-black Gate of Hell spread out in front of him, emitting violent, cold, and chaotic aura that spilled into the field.
Then, one after another, giant skeleton wolves over three meters long, engulfed in black flames, squeezed out from it.
“Awoooo!!”
Six Netherfire Steel Bone Wolves lined up in front of Su Yuan, their powerful Star Power at Bronze High Stage burst forth without restraint!
“What is this, a Necromancy Summoning Technique?!”
“Holy crap, six skeleton wolves, and all at Bronze High Stage?!”
“Is this what special admission students are like?
That’s freaking insane!”
The new students in the Practical Combat Hall were all stunned.
Besides Xia Yue and nearly a hundred at Bronze Early Stage, most of the new students were only at Star Apprentice Ninth Rank.
And here Su Yuan summoned six Bronze High Stage elite Star Beasts right off the bat?
How were they supposed to play!
The most shocked was Xiang Dingqian, who had always wanted to fight Su Yuan.
“Turns out he’s a summoner?
No wonder he could pass the sixth wave of the Soul Comforting Mysterious Burial Tablet.
Forget six Bronze High Stage Bone Wolves, even Bronze Early Stage has a fair chance to pass, not to mention that summoners usually have more than one summoning creature.”
Ye Qing watched Su Yuan summon the Bone Wolves and sneered.
“Xiang Dingqian, this is the guy who beat you in the exam, a summoner?”
“Yes.”
Ye Qing chuckled, “A summoner… If you don’t mind, I can help you deal with him.”
Ye Qing looked down on Su Yuan, not for any other reason but simply because Su Yuan was a summoner.
Belonging to the larger school of thought, Beast Tamers and Summoners had entirely different philosophies.
Not only was there no harmony between brother schools, but there was mutual disdain and multiple theoretical and practical clashes every year.
“No need,” Xiang Dingqian sneered, “Who I, Xiang Dingqian, want to deal with doesn’t need outside help.
Since the school has started, I’ll find a chance to challenge him soon.”
Ye Qing smiled faintly, “Alright, as expected of you.”
Both from noble families, Ye Qing’s stance was subtly higher than Xiang Dingqian’s.
Because Ye Qing was the only child of his generation in the Ye Family, showered with love.
While Xiang Dingqian had a cousin of the same age, Xiang Dingkun, who had even higher talent than him.
No matter what the audience thought, the person suffering the most was Wang Qiang, who was standing opposite Su Yuan with his long knife.
“This is freaking insane!”
Wang Qiang swallowed, wanting to concede directly, but since he was already on stage, he had to grit his teeth and give it a try.
Otherwise, he’d be utterly humiliated right at the start of school!
Looking at the six Netherfire Steel Bone Wolves opposite him, Wang Qiang felt like six alpacas were stomping back and forth in his heart.
Although for Star Card Masters, quality was greater than quantity,
In a situation where strength was similar, one against six meant one against six, without any deception!
Moreover, compared to Wang Qiang, only at Bronze Early Stage, the Bronze High Stage Netherfire Steel Bone Wolves were probably slightly stronger.
“Six Bronze High Stage elite summoning creatures.
No wonder he doesn’t need to rest.” Nearby, Qin Jia predicted the outcome and shook his head with a sigh for Wang Qiang.
Summoning techniques usually had intervals between uses.
It was inconvenient to insert other battles in between.
It’s best to take all opponents out in one go.
“Go.”
Su Yuan gave the command, and the six Netherfire Steel Bone Wolves unleashed a barrage of Netherfire Cannon at Wang Qiang!
“Holy crap!”
Wang Qiang’s face changed dramatically.
He immediately activated his Star Power and jumped, summoning a Star Power shield to protect himself while dodging.
“Boom boom boom…!”
Balls of Netherfire Cannon exploded around Wang Qiang, the black flames swelling and spreading, quickly engulfing him.
But soon, the stubborn Wang Qiang staggered out of the billowing black flames, covered in soot, with a burn on his left arm, and a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
As a top 100 student of Demon Capital Academy, Wang Qiang had excellent combat skills.
ƝονǤο.сᴑ
In just a few moments, Wang Qiang found the best route to dodge the six Netherfire Cannons’ central impact points, avoiding serious injury.
However, even without a direct hit, the explosion’s aftershock from the Netherfire Cannon still impacted Wang Qiang significantly.
Just after charging out, before he could catch his breath, he saw six Netherfire Steel Bone Wolves in front of him, now with new Netherfire Cannons ready to fire.
Damn it!
Wang Qiang could only curse in his heart and quickly shouted, “I concede!!”
But it was a tad late.
The six Netherfire Steel Bone Wolves unleashed their second salvo!
The deafening explosions roared, and the black flames engulfed Wang Qiang again, shocking the audience.
As the black flames subsided, everyone could see that Wang Qiang was shivering in the midst of the black flames, not daring to move.
At the last moment, Su Yuan had commanded the six Netherfire Steel Bone Wolves to avoid hitting Wang Qiang.
Qin Jia nodded and announced, “Su Yuan wins!”
“Summoners are really strong; it’s completely bullying…”
“Indeed, he won too easily!”
…
Su Yuan didn’t even move.
He easily won relying solely on the six Netherfire Steel Bone Wolves, which made the surrounding freshmen envious.
“Next, He Huanyan challenges Su Yuan.”
Since Su Yuan didn’t need a break, Qin Jia immediately called the next challenger onto the stage.
He Huanyan, ranked 44th, with a top-grade green Soul Card.
After stepping up, He Huanyan pulled out a green longsword, with a gentle breeze on the sword.
She was a wind element Star Card Master dressed in a white training suit, looking valiant.
“He Huanyan.”
“Su Yuan.”
They announced their names, signifying the start of the duel.
Facing the six Netherfire Steel Bone Wolves that crushed the previous opponent, He Huanyan showed no fear, seemingly having a strategy to deal with them.
“Against a summoner, it’s best to avoid the summons and attack the summoner directly,” He Huanyan thought to herself.
Compared to regular magicians, ninety percent of a summoner’s power was in their summons, making them more vulnerable.
Hence, they usually had strong self-defense skills.
But still, compared to defeating all of a summoner’s creatures, forcing out and breaking the summoner’s self-defense was more effective.
In fact, those trying to defeat all a summoner’s creatures usually got exhausted…
He Huanyan immediately activated her Star Power and charged towards Su Yuan, enhanced by wind elements!
Su Yuan mentally commanded the Netherfire Steel Bone Wolves to attack.
The six Netherfire Steel Bone Wolves gathered black flames in their mouths, preparing to launch the Netherfire Cannons.
The surrounding spectators couldn’t help but comment.
“Same move again.
Su Yuan is a bit sly…”
“You don’t understand, one good move is enough.
Practicality is key.”
In just a few moments, the first round of “six wolves” artillery was ready and fired at He Huanyan.
He Huanyan was prepared.
She formed a seal with her left hand, unleashing a large amount of wind elements around her into a four-meter-long powerful wind field!
With the wind field’s support, He Huanyan’s speed greatly increased, and all incoming Netherfire Cannons were easily deflected by the wind.
Although the wind didn’t specifically counter fire, it had a significant impact on the fire.
“Wind Wandering Step?”
Su Yuan was a bit surprised.
This was an advanced skill of Wind Walking, enhancing both speed and agility.
He Huanyan had cultivated it to Great Success, nearly reaching Perfect level.
Impressive!
In this case, the Netherfire Cannons were ineffective.
If a single cannon couldn’t break the wind field, more of them would be equally ineffective.
However, the strength of the Netherfire Steel Bone Wolves wasn’t just in their cannons.
As balanced summoning creatures excelling in strength, agility, and defense, they were powerful in close combat!
Su Yuan pointed and commanded, “Go, tear her apart.”
