Chapter 323: Replication! Qimu Zhao Gongming!_2
"Activate Purple Quality Skill Card [Thunderstorm], and a lightning-bow made of purple lightning materialized in his hands."
Then, Ren Liwei summoned another Purple Quality Skill Card in his hand.
The black lightning transformed into arrows and shot straight towards the opponent.
However, both of his first two attacks were deflected by the opponent, who didn't even move from where they stood, as if they were waiting for his third attack.
Could he really tolerate this?
Without any hesitation, Ren Liwei drew the bow and fired another arrow, the black Thunderbolt Arrow, at Nezha with incredible speed.
In theory, the arrows shot by this skill were very fast and almost impossible to block. The opponent could only use Defense Equipment or Defense Skills to withstand the attack.
But...
Nezha looked somewhat bored as he flicked away the Thunderbolt Arrow with his Fire-tipped Spear.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion followed, leaving three slightly charred pits near Nezha.
"Still not giving up, huh? Just wait, I'll pound you into the ground soon."
Nezha muttered to himself, while Zhao Gongming suddenly conjured a ball of purple lightning in his hand.
In the next second, the purple lightning turned into Bow and Arrow.
Then, a ball of black lightning appeared in Zhao Gongming's hand too. In the blink of an eye as he drew his bow, the black lightning transformed into an Arrow.
"This arrow, Instant Flash!"
At the moment Zhao Gongming spoke, the arrow in his hand shot out fiercely, targeting Ren Liwei.
"Holy shit!"
Ren Liwei was shocked as he recognized the familiar attack flying towards him in the sky.
Facing his "own" attack, Ren Liwei was self-aware.
He didn't even think about dodging.
With his speed and capability, there was no way he could avoid this attack.
Although the attack power of [Instant Flash] wasn't particularly strong, its speed was truly fast.
That's why he was so surprised when the opponent easily blocked his attacks just now.
"Does Instant Flash have some special effect?"
Jiang Yuan was curious. "Is it just fast and far-reaching?"
"After hitting, there is a certain probability to add a paralysis effect on the opponent, which can slow down their speed and occasionally cause Stiffness State."
"Oh, so it's a control skill!"
Jiang Yuan was somewhat pleased. As everyone knew, what their team was lacking were control skills.
Of course, Nezha's Grotto Heaven Silk didn't count. For Nezha, the Grotto Heaven Silk was more of a Defense Type skill.
Although Illusion Technique could also be considered a type of control skill, having an additional long-range control method was quite desirable.
Even if the attack damage wasn't particularly high.
This could be seen from the small black pits on the ground.
But it was still pretty good.
If they weren't in a rush to escape the Poison Circle, Jiang Yuan would have even liked to get closer to see if he could copy more Bow and Arrow Thunder Skills.
Too bad Zhao Gongming was still only a Purple Quality card.
If he could upgrade to a Red Quality Card, [Controlling Thunder and Lightning] would probably be able to manipulate these kind of Bow and Arrow and blade attack skills with bare hands.
Although it might not have any special effects, manipulating lightning with bare hands was still possible.
If he increased the Quality again, upgrading Zhao Gongming to Golden Quality, then [Controlling Thunder and Lightning] would truly be as its name implies.
Jiang Yuan imagined that at that stage, Zhao Gongming would be able to catch the opponent's Thunder Attribute attacks with his hands and convert them for his own use.
But for now, those ideas were still far off. He'd think about it later.
Having acquired an ultra-long-range attack today, he was in a good mood.
Jiang Yuan smugly waved at his opponent before leaving, not caring whether the other party saw it or not.
Of course, Ren Liwei could see it; how could anyone proficient in ultra-long-range attacks not have excellent eyesight?
Besides that, he had the aid of the blue Quality Skill Card [Long-sightedness] and could clearly see every move Jiang Yuan made.
Seeing Jiang Yuan wave at him so cheerfully, Ren Liwei was so annoyed he gritted his teeth.
Not only did the other party embarrass him seriously but also stole one of his skills, and now they were taunting him as they left.
Does he really think I'm so easy-going?
Can I put up with this humiliation?
Ren Liwei stomped his foot fiercely and immediately turned to shout at his teammates, "If we encounter them again next time, I'll personally take them down!"
Ren Liwei's voice couldn't help but make his teammates snicker.
But there was nothing they could do, the other side was just too fast, and their attacks simply couldn't catch up.
However, if they really did encounter them next time, they would definitely prepare in advance, whether it's a Skill Card that restricts escaping or a Mount Card that's also very fast, they owned them.
Today, they were just caught off guard, and by the time they reacted, the other party had already run far away.
Jiang Yuan kept running and teasing every single person and team he encountered.
And the actions of Jiang Yuan were also seen by the four vice-chancellors.
"He's usually like this...umm..."
Yu Chengtian gestured with his hands, finding it inappropriate to say in front of someone's master that their disciple was sort of 'cheap'.
"I don't know, I don't recognize him."
Li Yueying pressed her forehead, not expecting that Jiang Yuan, who usually presented himself as socially anxious, would suddenly change into a completely different person upon entering the battlefield of the Joint Examination.
Watching Jiang Yuan lead by Mu Qianshan, laughing loudly as they used the Linglong Tower to trap a baffled Jianglu Mid-stage player before striding away.
And the Jianglu Mid-stage player, who seemed completely unable to break the Linglong Tower no matter what, made Li Yueying somewhat unwilling to acknowledge Jiang Yuan as his disciple.
How should this behavior be described?
The Jianglu Mid-stage player, flanked by two teammates who were equally powerless against the Linglong Tower, couldn't break it either.
Thus, by trapping one person, Jiang Yuan effectively trapped three.
"Go, leave me. Don't worry about me."
After being trapped for thirteen hours, the trapped person looked at the approaching "Poison Circle" and helplessly told his teammates.
However, obviously, it was too late to start running now.
Even though his teammates tearfully agreed to abandon him and leave, they still encountered each other outside of the battlefield moments later.
Since then, the Linglong Tower disappeared, turning back into a card and returning to Jiang Yuan's consciousness space.
But that's a story for later. At this moment, Jiang Yuan was still provocatively challenging every contestant he encountered.
No help for it, since there wouldn't be any spoils of victory for defeating the opponents here, might as well provoke them instead.
If they could provoke the opponent to lose their temper and use a Thunder Attribute long-range attack skill against them, just like earlier, then they would be profiting.
Zhao Gongming, besides the Fire-tipped Spear and the Bow and Arrow, didn't have any other skills at the moment.
He had said he was going to visit the Grotto Heaven bordering the Elemental Spirit Clan, but the Joint Examination had started before he had the chance.
But even now, things didn't seem too bad.
This time, Jiang Yuan and his team were provoking someone from Great Liang with Mid-stage strength.
The opponent was within the range that Jiang Yuan and his team could handle.
Although they didn't know which Academy he was from, the opponent was a Skill Card Master specializing in Thunder Attributes.
Apart from a wide-area Purple Quality Skill "Ten Thousand Thunder Array" and two single-target attack skills "Sky Solitary Thunder" and "Shadow Thunder Ball," he had another long-range attack skill that was a perfect match for the Thunder Bow and Arrow.
"Thunder Arrow!"
Unlike "Instant Flash," which was quick and long, "Thunder Arrow" could be described as short and stout.
Its main feature was its immense power, but very short range.
However, after the Thunder Attribute Skill Card Master saw Zhao Gongming use the "Shadow Thunder Ball," he soon realized.
It seemed as though the opponent was stealthily learning his skills.
But he thought that Zhao Gongming could only learn how to use them after seeing him perform a skill two or three times, so he didn't hesitate to transform into a bolt of lightning and vanished.
After all, it took three attempts of him using the "Shadow Thunder Ball" for Zhao Gongming to perform it.
The other two skills that he had used only once, the opponent had not managed to perform.
But what he didn't expect was that Zhao Gongming only needed to watch him perform a skill once to replicate it.
Not just imitate the motion, but even the essence.
Zhao Gongming could use the skills exactly as they were described on his Skill Cards.
Just like his last escape skill.
"Lightning Flash!"
It could be used as a skill for fleeing, or as an attack skill.
However, if it was to be used as an attack skill, one needed to condense a Thunder Blade in hand.
He didn't use that.
But Zhao Gongming had a steel whip, right?
