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

"But..."

Jiang Yuan looked up at the sky, realizing that he had spent quite some time in the Dream Tower and it was already getting late.

Better to end the battle soon and head home.

Thinking this, Jiang Yuan patted Shi Ji on the shoulder, and Shi Ji understood Jiang Yuan's intention, stepping back to stand behind him.

Zhu Zhenzhong, though unclear about Jiang Yuan's situation, knew that there was someone at the Academy who could summon others to fight in his place.

It must be this fellow.

But if he remembered correctly, didn't this guy just enroll not long ago?

Not only he had this thought, but his companions in the connected audience seats thought similarly.

"If I remember correctly, didn't that guy just enter Zhongyuan Academy four or five months ago?"

"It should be, although we've been in Grotto Heaven all this time, we still occasionally heard news of him when we came out."

"Indeed, it was four or five months ago."

The long-haired man nodded, "I remember saying at that time that he was still far from reaching our level, at least a year or two away from challenging us."

After the long-haired man spoke, the long-haired girl beside him also nodded, "Right, I remember it was about four months ago when we entered the Wing Clan Secret Realm."

"Uh..."

The long-haired girl's remark made everyone fall silent instantly.

"Uh, are you saying..."

The long-haired man spoke and couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "He just used only three or four months to advance from the First Realm to the Fourth Realm?"

"No, even though the first three realms don't have a breakthrough threshold, shouldn't it be this fast?"

"Do you think it's possible he used the Star Power Light Ball?" the long-haired girl pondered for a moment before speaking tentatively.

"He did use the Star Power Light Ball."

By chance, sitting next to them was Mu Qianshan.

Mu Qianshan had heard their entire conversation.

Hearing their curiosity, Mu Qianshan responded directly.

"I knew it, who could be such a genius? So it was relying on external help."

Hearing Mu Qianshan say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

However, they quickly reacted, turning their heads to look at Mu Qianshan, "You are?"

"Oh, I'm his friend, I used the Star Power Light Ball with him," Mu Qianshan grinned, showing his bright white teeth to the group.

Ah, this reaction is just right.

One shouldn't give others the wrong impression that Jiang Yuan is a genius.

"The tallest tree in the forest bears the brunt of the wind."

This was what Jiang Yuan taught him back then.

But the next second, the smile on his face froze.

Why did Jiang Yuan take out a Purple Quality Card?

And why bring out Zhao Gongming?

Wasn't the plan "The tallest tree in the forest bears the brunt of the wind?"

What does this mean?

Zhao Gongming appeared in front of Zhu Zhenzhong, holding a steel whip.

Under the mild gaze of Jiang Yuan and Shi Ji, Zhao Gongming lifted his steel whip effortlessly, blocking Zhu Zhenzhong's great sword.

Zhu Zhenzhong was surprised, how could the opponent, just a Fourth Realm Jianglu early-stage, easily block my Mid-stage Jianglu full-powered strike?

Zhu Zhenzhong's great sword had been boosted by a Purple Quality Skill Card.

Furthermore, his great sword itself was a Purple Quality Equipment Card, which theoretically should overpower the opponent's steel whip even if it was of Purple Quality as well, but he could clearly see, there were no traces of Star Power fluctuations on the steel whip.

That meant, the opponent's steel whip hasn't been applied with any skills, yet it blocked his attack?

How could this be possible?

But in the next second, a look of terror appeared in Zhu Zhenzhong's eyes.

With a slight flick of the steel whip, which disrupted his force, the whip then struck towards his body.

Yet Zhu Zhenzhong wasn't too panicked, with a thought, a shield on his arm shone with a purple glow.

The next second, a shield made of a Purple Crystal Energy Body appeared in front of him.

Purple Quality Defense Equipment: [Purple Crystal Wrist Shield]!

The Purple Crystal Wrist Shield had two Defense Skills.

[Purple Crystal Shield]: Forms a shield composed of Purple Crystal Energy Body to block the opponent's attack, transforming part of the damage inflicted into absorbed energy, and temporarily increases defensive power.

Another skill is [Rune Resonance], which increases defensive power and briefly makes one immune to negative effects from opponent's attacks.

Both defensive skills of the Purple Crystal Wrist Shield were quite impressive.

Unfortunately, what he encountered was Zhao Gongming's steel whip.

[Sky Breaking Astral]!

It enhances energy-type defense effects created by defensive equipment by fifty percent.

Also, it negates defensive effects with a defensive power lower than the whip's attack power.

From a close distance, Zhu Zhenzhong could clearly see, his Purple Crystal Shield, upon contact with the steel whip, turned into a shower of purple sparkles falling from the sky.

Zhu Zhenzhong's calm expression shifted rapidly to one of terror.

But soon, he came back to senses, because he had already left the Martial Arts Arena.

He "died."

In the Martial Arts Arena, once one party is killed, the arena disappears.

His appearance outside the Martial Arts Arena now indicated that he had just been instantly killed by that attack.

"No way..."

Zhu Zhenzhong looked perplexed.

No way, you a Jianglu early-stage, how could you instantly kill a Jianglu Mid-stage like me?

Reversed Sky Breaking Astral?
