Mythical Card Supplier: Starting with Nezha, the Third Lotus Prince

"Jiang Yuan, we're setting off tomorrow. Are you ready?"

After returning from the military camp, Jiang Yuan had just finished showering when he received the message from Mu Qianshan.

Jiang Yuan, drying his hair, smiled at his phone as he typed a response.

Jiang Yuan: I've been ready for a while now.

Mu Qianshan: Alright, I'll come find you tomorrow morning, and we'll head out together.

Jiang Yuan: Okay.

After putting his phone down, Jiang Yuan continued to dry his hair while sorting through the gains he had made recently.

Ever since that day he went from the school to the military camp, Qin Boyuan and Elder Wang He'an's guidance was still vivid in his mind.

For the seventeen days that followed, Jiang Yuan was hardly idle.

Every day, besides making cards and cultivating Star Power, he was battling with the people Wang He'an found for him.

After each battle, he would continue making cards until his spiritual power was depleted. Then, he'd review the fights with Nezha and Wang He'an.

Through video, Wang He'an continuously gave Jiang Yuan advice on when and where to use which Skill Card to achieve the best effect.

Wang He'an's original words: "There's not enough time to gain experience through battle after battle; I'm telling you the conclusion directly to boost your progression quickly. But ultimately, the understanding and timing between you and Nezha needs to improve through constant real combat."

Though that was said, Jiang Yuan's improvement during this period was indeed very noticeable.

At least he was occasionally able to give Nezha a hard time now.

Of course, this was during their sparring sessions.

Nezha would launch attacks, and his job was to prevent Nezha from closing in.

As Qin Boyuan would put it:

The gap in combat power between you and Nezha is too wide. Until you've fully grown, or said otherwise, until your combat power gets closer to Nezha's.

What you need to do is just to protect yourself, try not to hold Nezha back, so that the two of you can bring out your best in battle.

Jiang Yuan very much agreed with Qin Boyuan's words.

However, catching up to Nezha, the Marshall of the Central Altar with his illustrious might, was a joke.

He could only try his best not to be a drag on Nezha.

Wang He'an nodded in agreement with Qin Boyuan's words as well.

"As a Skill Card Master, it's not just about attacking. Strictly speaking, an Amplification Card Master is also a type of Skill Card Master."

Jiang Yuan still remembered the look in Wang He'an's eyes when he said that: "As for how, it's up to you and Nezha to decide. I'm just trying to give your foundation a crash course."

Wang He'an said, smilingly glancing at Jiang Yuan before leaving.

"That said, are there any mythological amplification skills? Or maybe skills that weaken the opponent's status?"

Jiang Yuan thought about this and started to get a headache.

Although he was an avid fan of Huaxia mythology, his memory clearly wasn't that great.

There were many things he couldn't recall.

"Nevermind, I can only take it one step at a time."

With a helpless shake of his head, Jiang Yuan entered the Gathering Star Array to start his cultivation.

Although he had successfully made a breakthrough to the late stages of Xingji on the second day of entering the camp, he still needed to work hard in his cultivation.

The progress with his spiritual power was also very rapid, now filling half of his Spiritual Space.

To compare, it was about the same as the spiritual quantity of a mid-stage Xuanxiao who hadn't cultivated their spiritual power.

Despite this, Jiang Yuan still had no intention of relaxing.

How could he let himself be defeated by weakness when a beautiful life was just beginning?

...

...

Another night of diligent and studious (grinding) effort.

Just after finishing his cultivation and washing his face, Jiang Yuan heard a knock at the door.

"Ready?"

"Of course."

Jiang Yuan opened the door to see Mu Qianshan standing there, excited.

Speaking of which, it had been a long time since the two of them had seen each other.

Since that day they entered the military barracks, the two hadn't seen each other again.

Jiang Yuan smiled, slung a shoulder bag over his back, and was ready to leave.

Although he had a backpack card, he wouldn't need to carry a backpack.

But Jiang Yuan still carried a small bag.

It was quite convenient to carry some things that might be needed at hand.

"Checking out?"

Looking at the empty room, Mu Qianshan asked curiously.

"Yeah, after all, I'm leaving this city."

Jiang Yuan smiled, he had lived in this house for several years.

But it was just a rental after all.

This time he checked out because he planned to buy a house when he returns.

Now that he had money in hand, renting didn't make sense anymore.

He hadn't bought a house before because he knew he was leaving.

"That works, but the detached cottage of the Zhongyuan Academy really is enviable."

"You could also rent one with money; after all, the detached cottages of Zhongyuan Academy are available for rent."

Mu Qianshan, as one of the top eight, had conditions to entice him, but they didn't include a detached cottage.

But it's no big issue, given the guy had money.

"By the way, you're richer than me now, aren't you?"

After the two left the house, Mu Qianshan suddenly said to Jiang Yuan as if he had just thought of something.

Theoretically, Jiang Yuan did indeed have a lot of money now.

The military paid quite promptly.

"But compared to your Mu Family, what's this amount to me?"

The two laughed and made their way to the gathering point.

The direct transfer to Zhongyuan Academy.

Or rather, it was a space card.

The wilderness is quite unsafe, and besides, the space passage is faster and more convenient.

"Only you two are left, come on."

When Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan arrived, including Liu Shengshan, the recruiting teacher, the remaining four people were already there.

The archer Bu Qiuyao and Skill Card Master Jiang Lingyun were known to Jiang Yuan.

The remaining two made Jiang Yuan somewhat recognize the chubby man.

That chubby man seemed to be the Shield Card Master who revived successfully with Jiang Lingyun.

But as for the tall and skinny man with glasses, Jiang Yuan had little impression.

"You two are so slow!"

After Liu Shengshan spoke, Jiang Lingyun, grinning, said to Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan.

With Jiang Lingyun, the social butterfly there, Jiang Yuan, who was somewhat socially anxious, felt slightly relieved.

"We arrived within the appointed time, didn't we?"

Jiang Yuan smiled, and both the chubby guy and the tall skinny guy were somewhat surprised by Jiang Yuan's arrival.

After all, Jiang Yuan had dismantled an 18-card Mecha with his bare hands.

His combat power was indeed very fierce.

They just hadn't expected him to also choose Zhongyuan Academy.

"Hello, I'm Yang Xiaodong, a Shield Card Master." The chubby man Yang Xiaodong smiled at Jiang Yuan and introduced himself to everyone.

"I'm Yang Xie, an Amplification Card Master," said the tall skinny man with glasses.

"I'm Jiang Lingyun, a Skill Card Master," continued Jiang Lingyun with a smile.

"Bu Qiuyao, archer."

"Mu Qianshan, Fighting Card Master, my weapon is a longsword."

"Jiang Yuan, Summoning Spirit Card Master, Nezha is my Card Spirit."
