NOVEL WEB Chapter 96: Qin Boyuan's Gift of Thanks
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Yuan looked at Yang Zeyun's gloomy face and didn't care, he simply retorted.
"It's nothing. Just let me know when you've made your choice, I don't want to be in the same Academy as you!"
Yang Zeyun looked at Jiang Yuan seriously, "We will each go our separate ways, and then I will defeat you again!"
"That's all!"
"Ha."
Jiang Yuan laughed. Is that all?
You want to defeat me again?
Jiang Yuan shook his head, "I haven't decided yet. I'll let you know when I do."
Having said that, Jiang Yuan left.
He still needed to break through the 30th Boss level with Nezha.
He didn't have time to play this game of "I'll defeat you, I'll surpass you" and throw around harsh words with Yang Zeyun.
It was too boring.
The higher you challenge beyond your level in the Dream Tower, the richer the rewards.
Jiang Yuan was already on the verge of breaking through to the later stages of Xingji, perhaps he could succeed at any moment.
By then, a challenge would no longer be considered beyond his level.
That would waste such a valuable prize.
Even if he couldn't use it himself, he could sell it for money.
Jiang Yuan quickly arrived at the entrance of the Dream Tower at the mission center.
After entering the Dream Tower, Jiang Yuan projected Nezha out.
"Finally, we're challenging this guy!"
"Yuan, take good care of yourself!"
"Don't worry!"
Jiang Yuan nodded, and then he stepped into the 30th floor of the Dream Tower with Nezha.
At the same time, Qin Boyuan had already returned to the military camp.
"Teacher, have you paid attention to this year's three rounds of assessments?"
Qin Boyuan approached a small cottage, speaking softly and respectfully to an unkempt old man.
"Why should I care about that?"
The old man lay on the bed, his back to Qin Boyuan, and didn't even turn his head.
"This year, a very talented young man emerged, but there's a problem with his fighting style, so I would like to ask you to watch his fight."
Qin Boyuan spoke directly, years of military life had rid him of the habit of beating around the bush.
"A fighting style?"
The old man seemed to sneer, "Do you see me having a fighting style now?"
"If you are willing, of course you have one!"
Qin Boyuan spoke earnestly.
"Go back, do what you need to do, if you can't achieve it, don't overdo it."
"I've already found a solution, by the way, it's the same person I want you to watch who solved it."
Saying this, Qin Boyuan didn't wait for the old man to speak further, he put the video on the table beside, turned, and left.
"I've left the video of his fight here for you, in case you're interested, you can use it to pass some time."
"Bang."
The gentle sound of the door closing was heard, and after a moment, the quiet room seemed to be filled with a soft sigh.
However, the sound was so faint, it was as though there hadn't been a sigh at all.
"Pass some time, eh?"
The old man got up, his stooped figure seemed to straighten a bit, but soon bent over again.
The unkempt old man looked to be only in his fifties, not extremely aged.
At least there were not many wrinkles on his face.
His slender fingers stretched out, touching the object Qin Boyuan had left behind.
A projection-like image lit up in the dim room.
Inside, it was Jiang Yuan's performance from the first match of the Martial Arts Examination.
Outside the door, Qin Boyuan looked at the light emanating from the room and a smile curled up at the corners of his mouth.
Let me take this as my token of appreciation for your help this time.
But for you, teacher, this token of gratitude seems hardly enough.
Qin Boyuan looked up in the direction of the East Sea, his eyes seemingly reflecting the scene of that tragic great battle.
Teacher, and you four as well.
I will shatter the world they inhabit!
...
"See, Yuan, I told you that if you didn't mess around, I alone would be enough!"
The next morning, after arriving at the Academy, Jiang Yuan's mind was still replaying the words that Nezha had told him yesterday.
The words Nezha occasionally uttered excitedly were like a knife stabbing into his chest.
Fortunately, now Jiang Yuan had more or less gotten used to it.
After all, upon reflection, what Nezha said wasn't wrong.
In fact, the thirtieth floor of the Dream Tower could have been conquered before the start of the Martial Arts Examination.
Nezha's strength was sufficient, especially after acquiring the Wind and Fire Wheel.
Similarly, after crafting those small Skill Cards, Jiang Yuan's defensive capabilities had also been significantly enhanced.
Without the need for Nezha to be distracted with his protection, victory followed victory.
That's why, when challenging the thirtieth floor of the Dream Tower that day, Jiang Yuan decided he would fight alongside Nezha.
The end result...
was failure.
The reason for failure was that Jiang Yuan's use of various Skill Cards, for various reasons of poor timing and inappropriateness, affected Nezha.
Even to the point of severely dragging him down.
This led to the defeat in that day's battle.
Jiang Yuan sighed helplessly; this was indeed his own fault.
And because of this, during the later Martial Arts Examination, Jiang Yuan chose not to make a move after Nezha had acted.
He'd rather be a spectator than act, afraid of affecting Nezha.
Only before Nezha charged forward would Jiang Yuan use Skill Cards to attack or restrain the opponent.
"You scoundrel, you left a message and ran off yesterday, leaving me by myself there!"
"Hehe, but you're pretty powerful and can handle that situation."
Upon hearing Mu Qianshan's voice, Jiang Yuan quickly turned his head trying to appease him.
However, Mu Qianshan was immune to Jiang Yuan's [Appeasing] skill and launched a combo of [Mockery] plus [Sarcastic]!
"I'm not the champion; I'm not as amazing as you are."
After saying that, Mu Qianshan rolled his eyes and returned to his seat.
"By the way, I was going to make a card for you, but since that's the case, forget it."
After snickering, Jiang Yuan turned his head deliberately to speak to Mu Qianshan.
"What card?"
Sure enough, the moment Mu Qianshan heard that Jiang Yuan was going to craft a card for him, he was instantly intrigued and quickly turned to ask Jiang Yuan.
"Not upset anymore?"
"Upset about what? I was never upset with you to begin with."
Mu Qianshan rolled his eyes again, and only then did Jiang Yuan speak.
"A Skill Card, but I'm still thinking about which specific one to make."
"A Skill Card?"
Mu Qianshan paused.
What Skill Card does he need?
"Let's not talk about it now; the examination is about to start. We'll discuss it after it's over."
Jiang Yuan did not answer Mu Qianshan's question and got up to head towards his examination venue.
He really intended to create a Skill Card for Mu Qianshan.
After all, Mu Qianshan's ways of attacking were too few, not to mention the lack of strength in his attacks.
With the enhancement of a Skill Card, Mu Qianshan's Combat Power would presumably increase a bit.
