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

Early the next morning, just as Jiang Yuan finished his cultivation practice, a message popped up on his phone.

Zhongyuan Academy: All new students, please arrive at the Welcome Plaza as soon as possible.

There was only this one sentence, but Jiang Yuan still got up, sorted himself out, and then headed to the Welcome Plaza with Mu Qianshan.

By the time they arrived at the Welcome Plaza, there weren't many people yet.

However, roughly looking over, it seemed there were already about four to five hundred people.

"Say, are there always this many people?" Jiang Yuan asked, a bit astonished.

"Yeah, roughly a thousand people or so."

Mu Qianshan nodded: "From the three hundred sixty-five cities in Daxia, each city typically selects about three or four people."

"After all, the four top academies are all vying for talent, and each city only has about a dozen or so talents."

"True, it's not easy for Zhenhai City to have six selected at once."

A familiar voice sounded, and soon Jiang Yuan felt a pat on his shoulder.

When Jiang Yuan turned his head to look, it was the sweetly smiling Jiang Lingyun.

Next to Jiang Lingyun, with her hair in a high ponytail, Bu Qiuyao also nodded at them in greeting.

"By the way, how's the small villa you guys are staying in? The two of us are in the same dorm."

"It's alright, the villa is quite big."

"That's nice. It's a shame the villas are too expensive."

Jiang Lingyun's eyes lit up, then she spoke with a hint of disappointment.

Jiang Yuan looked curiously at Mu Qianshan, who then nodded: "Yeah, indeed they're a bit pricey."

Jiang Yuan understood - it must be really expensive if even Mu Qianshan said so.

After Jiang Lingyun and the others arrived, two more from Zhenhai City came over as well.

After all the new students arrived one after the other, several people also took their seats on the stage.

"Everyone, I am one of the vice-principals of Zhongyuan Academy, and now I would like the new students to quiet down and listen to me."

After glancing at the time, a plump middle-aged man with a big belly stood up and started to address the crowd.

"You all must have seen the various rules and requirements of the Academy in the student handbook."

"Since that's the case, I won't say more and will get straight to the point. Let's talk about the new student assessment."

"There are a total of one thousand and eighty people present. Although I don't know if anyone is absent, all of you more than a thousand people will soon enter a place."

As the vice-principal spoke, a large screen appeared behind him.

In the large screen, there were a hundred small screens.

Each small screen displayed one person, totaling one hundred people.

"Inside here, are the last one hundred from the previous batch, your senior students. Next, they will act as hunters to hunt you down."

The vice-principal's face showed an innocuous expression: "Their target is all of you. If they can wipe you all out within these ten days, then they won't have to take a makeup exam."

"Similarly, if they successfully hunt all of you down, they will also receive points as a reward."

"In that place, there are members of the Beast Clan and Hunters. What you need to do, before the Hunters get you, is to try to hunt as many beasts as possible to get points. Points are related to your academic rewards. Of course, the bottom hundred in points ranking will be taking care of the school's sanitation."

"Can we retaliate against the Hunters?"

"Of course you can."

The vice-principal nodded at the muscular man who had stood up.

"One piece of good news and one piece of bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Good news!"

"Bad news!"

The crowd shouted out loud.

However, it was evident that the voices calling for the bad news were louder.

"Then let's start with the bad news."

The vice-principal said with a cheery smile: "Their ranking from the back is only based on the written exam; among them are those who ranked high in the Martial Arts Examination."

"..."

As the vice-principal's voice fell, everyone suddenly fell silent.

How are we supposed to compete?

We've only been cultivating for three or four months, and now we're just at mid-stage Xingji strength.

What about them?

They've been cultivating for so much longer than us!

If it were other people, that would be one thing.

But these are the seniors from the last batch of Zhongyuan Academy!

Can their talent be inferior?

Top ranks in the Martial Arts Examination...

How terrifying is that!

What a huge pitfall, bottom hundred in the written exam!

Impressive you thought of this!

After the vice-principal finished, his face showed a touch of smugness as he observed the crowd.

Some people were silent, some dissatisfied, some irritable, and some remained calm, waiting for the good news to follow.

"Of course, you will be given a chance to retaliate."

The vice-principal showed his signature squinting smile again: "The good news is, they only have a hundred people."

"Another thing, that place will restrict strength, even if they enter, they will be limited to the strength of Xingji Period. You can rest assured about that."

"This is manageable!"

Hearing this, the few people next to Jiang Yuan immediately became excited.

Everyone had the strength of the Xingji Period, so who were they to fear?

"It's probably going to be late-stage Xingji..." Mu Qianshan's expression was a bit unpleasant.

Jiang Yuan also nodded and said: "Plus, they'll have far more combat experience than us."

The vice-principal's intent was very clear - these people were obviously rushing in to wipe them out.

If strength is restricted to the Xingji realm, then it obviously meant late-stage Xingji!

Surely after cultivating for so long, they couldn't have failed to break through to the Xingji realm.

And with only a hundred of them, of course, they hold an overwhelming advantage over the new students, including themselves.

After all, the strength of most of the new students now was mid-stage Xingji.

"Ah, we can't use the Linglong Tower anymore."

Jiang Lingyun also realized this and spoke with a tinge of disappointment.

"Speaking of which, do you have any other good cards?" Jiang Lingyun suddenly looked up, blinking her big eyes at Jiang Yuan inquiringly.

"No."

Jiang Yuan shook his head; he really didn't have any.

The Purple Ribbon Robe hadn't been made yet.

During this time in the military camp, he had only made a few cards of his own.

Like his mount, and a few Skill Cards and so on.

He hadn't even had time to make Nezha's Qiankun Ring yet.

"Ah, that's troublesome."

Jiang Lingyun was a bit disappointed, and both Yang Xiaodong and Yang Xie also frowned.

"Let's form a team."

Yang Xiaodong suddenly spoke up: "The six of us team up; even if we bump into a senior who's alone, we won't be without the strength to fight them, after all, we are all at Xingji Period. Even if they're at late-stage Xingji, the gap isn't huge."

"Right, my Amplification cards are still quite good."

Yang Xie also nodded in agreement.

As an Amplification Card Master, it would be too weak to fight alone without a team.

"Sure, but that place won't randomly split us up, right?"

Jiang Yuan looked at the vice-principal on stage. Seeing the smirk on his face, he couldn't help feeling somewhat doubtful.

Most importantly, his mentor wasn't him, right?

How many vice-principals does Zhongyuan Academy have again?
