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

Wang Wenqing had no hesitation after finishing his speech and immediately quickened his pace to leave.

The several vice presidents watching Wang Wenqing's retreating figure burst into laughter and lowered their heads to discuss.

"Does anyone know the inside story? Why didn't Jiang Yuan choose Wang Wenqing as his mentor?"

"Who knows? Maybe it's really as he said. Since Jiang Yuan is a Card Maker, he eventually chose Li Yueying."

"However, I've heard a rumor that Wang Wenqing was punished because..."

"Cough cough!"

Before the bald vice president could finish, he was interrupted by a series of coughs from the headmaster.

"It's not a very good habit to speak ill of others behind their backs." The headmaster was still smiling, but his authoritative gaze swept across each vice president.

The headmaster knew about that incident.

After all, it was a scandal in his teaching career.

However, the incident had passed, and the punishment for Wang Wenqing had ended; bringing it up now was pointless.

But the headmaster also felt somewhat relieved that Jiang Yuan had not chosen Wang Wenqing.

Otherwise...

If another talent was forced into the Demon Race, he would indeed have to take bloody measures to clean up the Academy.

It was only because Wang Wenqing was a Tenth Realm life-prolonging Mid-stage, a formidable presence even in the Human Clan, that he had been spared.

Nevertheless, Wang Wenqing had been punished by being sent to the All Clans battlefield.

Only after killing three Demon Race members of the same Realm could he return.

Moreover, at that time, the rewards at the Zhongyuan Academy were surprisingly good, because they were all the spoils Wang Wenqing brought back from the All Clans battlefield.

All of this was part of his punishment, due to Lan Jingtong being forced into the Demon Race.

Unfortunately, Lan Jingtong could never return.

Even when Wang Wenqing saw Lan Jingtong in the All Clans battlefield, he couldn't convince Lan Jingtong to come back.

And Lan Jingtong did not betray his talent; three years prior when Wang Wenqing saw him on the battlefield, Lan Jingtong had already reached the Mid-stage of the Eighth Realm, Chunhuo Realm.

However, according to the spies from the Human Clan within the Demon Race, Lan Jingtong had decided to cut all ties after returning to the Demon Race from encountering Wang Wenqing in the battlefield.

He severed all ties with Wang Wenqing!

He chose to start over!

Forsaking his path as a mechanical Card Master!

With Lan Jingtong's talent, although he gave up his path as a mechanical Card Master, he also successfully made progress on another path.

This was something the headmaster knew but had not shared with others.

The reason the headmaster had been away from the Academy was because of Lan Jingtong.

He had met Lan Jingtong and understood the whole situation.

Still, Lan Jingtong refused to return to the Human Clan.

In the face of this, the headmaster could only sigh helplessly.

Thankfully, Jiang Yuan had not chosen Wang Wenqing while he was absent from the Academy.

Had Jiang Yuan truly chosen Wang Wenxing, who could tell if Jiang Yuan would have followed in Lan Jingtong's footsteps?

After all, their situations were similar.

Both were geniuses, both had inherent muscular atrophy, but both carved their own paths, not confined by their affliction.

However, the difference between them was that Lan Jingtong did not find a way to resolve his weakness and chose to use external forces.

But according to Li Yueying, Jiang Yuan had already found a solution for his muscle atrophy problem.

He simply hadn't crafted that card yet.

As long as he could make that kind of card, Jiang Yuan could solve his problem before reaching the Sixth Realm.

Even if he couldn't make that card, Jiang Yuan had told Li Yueying that he had several Secret Treasures that could delay the onset of muscle atrophy.

With these Secret Treasures, even if unable to solve the problem with a crafted card, he could reach the Sixth Realm and rebuild his body to resolve the issue.

From his perspective, even if Jiang Yuan couldn't create a card to cure his condition, he should be able to progress to the Sixth Realm within the nearly one year remaining.

He always felt that the speed of Jiang Yuan's Realm advancement was absurdly fast.

It felt like it was boosted.

Thinking of this, the headmaster shook his head helplessly.

Perhaps this was the difference between the two of them.

Sometimes he also wondered if Lan Jingtong had chosen a different mentor instead of Wang Wenqing, would he have been able to follow a path similar to Jiang Yuan's?

At the very least, he wouldn't have ended up on his current path.

The headmaster sighed and glanced at Wang Wenqing's retreating figure before leaving.

On the other side, the plump team leader looked up in panic as everyone left.

Listening to the Human Clan students' mockery, he quickly led the remaining members of the Da He Clan away.

They needed to return quickly to their own Da He Clan world; the Human Clan was too dangerous!

However, it was fine as long as they were brought back safely.

Many in the Da He Clan were still somewhat bewildered, with the fierce expressions not yet faded from their faces.

Things had happened too quickly—from the team leader stepping forward, leading them to contend with the Human Clan, to the reversal of the situation, with the genius of the Zuo Zuo Mu family being killed.

Everything had happened so fast that they didn't even have time to understand why they had fallen into a disadvantageous position.

The crowd was puzzled, but now they could only follow their team leader.

After all, this was not their world; it was the world of the Human Clan.

The Human Clan of the first sequence!

Their Main World!

...

The Da He Clan left in a sorry state, while Jiang Yuan followed Li Yueying to her office.

"Why didn't you go to the Grotto Heaven Secret Treasure Burst?" she asked curiously after they returned to the office.

"Um, I was planning to go yesterday, but then some issues suddenly arose."

Jiang Yuan scratched his head, hesitating whether to tell Li Yueying about the Purple Quality Cultivation Card [Da Pin Heavenly Immortal Technique].
