Chapter 13

"Wow, that girl is so pretty!" Suddenly, a student from No. 2 Middle School said in a low voice, and many people were attracted by his exclamation.

A goose-yellow form-fitting long dress wrapped around a near-perfect proportioned figure, a hint of maturity amidst the youthful innocence, an ethereal temperament, exquisite facial features, and a pair of bright, large eyes that seemed to be able to speak—she was very charming.

Bei Bei Hanyun was already a rare little beauty, but in front of that young girl from Cangyue City, she still lagged quite a bit behind.

Even Lu Li couldn't help but take a few extra looks; the other party’s appearance didn't even lose to Hearing Hearing Mana’s.

"The facilities here are quite a bit worse than our school." In the Cangyue City team, many exchange students were visiting Cangling City for the first Finish Finish Time, and upon arriving at Cangling No. 3 Middle School, they couldn't help but look around curiously.

However, soon, expressions of disappointment appeared on everyone’s faces. There was no other reason; the environment of Cangling No. 3 Middle School was truly quite a bit worse than the academy in Cangyue City.

Even Cangyang City, which had been defeated by them, was not as bad; one could imagine that the students here couldn't be very strong either.

Although teaching facilities didn't necessarily have a relationship with strength, one could still roughly see the daily training intensity of the Cangling City students from this. And clearly, this intensity was far from being comparable to their Cangyue City.

"It seems that this Finish Finish Time, we can win very easily again."

"Isn't that obvious? Our Cangyue City is ranked in the top three year-round, and the gap between Cangling City and us cannot be bridged in a day or two."

"On this trip, I estimate that Sister Sister Sister Yanran won't even need to make a move; just us alone will be able to handle the battle with Cangling City."

Liu Sister Sister Yanran, the young girl whose appearance didn't lose to the Dark Magician Girl, just smiled upon hearing this, but the others from Cangling City were not having it, especially the students of Cangling No. 3 Middle School; this was their alma mater.

Liu Sister Sister Yanran was pretty, but right now both sides were enemies, especially since the other party had come with ill intentions to stomp on their turf.

"Damn! These Cangyue City Magic Card Masters are simply too arrogant!"

"Yeah, aren't they just relying on having slightly better facilities? Under the same conditions, it’s hard to say who is stronger."

"Don't forget, we still have Lu Li; when the Finish Finish Time comes, he will definitely give them a big surprise."

"Lu Li?" Liu Sister Sister Yanran, who hadn't cared much initially, had her eyes move. Listening to the tone of these Cangling City exchange students, they seemed to think very highly of this Magic Card Master named Lu Li.

Unfortunately, Liu Sister Sister Yanran just glanced at the other party’s lineup and withdrew her gaze. She didn't know who Lu Li was, but she had confidence that she wouldn't lose to anyone.

If the other party really had the ability, then there would be a chance to meet in the battle later.

……

"Cang Cang Cang Fenghua, long Finish Finish Time no see." Lin Lin Lin Heling gave people a cold, aloof feeling, as if she kept people at a distance.

Long Finish Finish Time no see, better not to see at all.

Hearing Lin Lin Lin Heling’s words, Cang Cang Cang Fenghua couldn't help but complain in his heart, but on the surface, he brought a hint of a smile. "Indeed, it has been a long Finish Finish Time. Do you need to rest for a while first?"

"No need!" Waving his hand, Lin Lin Lin Heling rejected Cang Cang Cang Fenghua’s suggestion. "We had the Cold Cloud Sparrow for the journey, and everyone else has rested very well."

"If there are no other problems, I would like to start now." Just as Cang Cang Cang Fenghua had said before, Lin Lin Lin Heling was a battle maniac and didn't intend to waste any Finish Finish Time at all.

"Then let’s begin." Cang Cang Cang Fenghua and Gu Fa and the others exchanged glances and nodded.

What was meant to come would come; since they couldn't escape, it was better to deal with it sooner.

They had also heard the conversation between the students of Cangling City and Cangyue City. Their temperaments were more stable, so their expressions were calm.

However, deep down, they were also very dissatisfied with the remarks of the Cangyue City students. Especially Gu Fa; he was the principal of Cangling No. 3 Middle School.

Anyone would be dissatisfied if the other party spoke about their school like that. Over the years, Gu Fa had spent countless efforts to improve the strength of No. 3 Middle School.

As for Zhao Chengyuan and Da Baiman, although the three schools were in a competitive relationship, at this moment, they were all standing on the same side as Gu Fa.

……

"Cangyue City, Luo Luo Danhan!" In the battle arena, one person from Cangyue City jumped out first, and at the same Finish Finish Time, threw out a Magic Card. A Magic Card spirit that looked like a crocodile emerged. "Who among you will come first?"

"Three-star rare, Land-Walking Crocodile!" Although they were unhappy with the remarks of the Cangyue City group just now, seeing that the opponent sent out a three-star rare Magic Card in the first battle, the expressions of the Cangling City group couldn't help but Fallen Fallen Mode Fallen Mode Change slightly.

"What, no one is coming up yet?" Luo Luo Danhan said with a hint of provocation. "Didn't you just say you were going to give us a taste of our own medicine? Now you’ve all become shrinking turtles?"

Anyone could be a king in a war of words, but when it came to the actual combat stage, this was the true test of the strength gap between the students of the two cities.

24. They Are All Old Actors

Damn it! This was Cangling City, their territory, not Cangyue City!

Patience has its limits; Wang Ping stepped out and boarded the battle arena, throwing out a Magic Card as well. "Get out of here."

Under Wang Ping's summons, the Fire-Jie Knight descended with raging flames and launched an attack on the Land-Crocodile. The powerful flaming spear transformed into a sharp arrow, slamming into the Land-Crocodile and sending it flying directly.

Suspended in mid-air, the Land-Crocodile could not withstand the erosion of the flaming spear's extreme heat and eventually dissolved into points of light, disappearing from sight.

"Good!" Seeing this scene, the group from Cangling City couldn't help but cheer: "Did you see that? This is our strength."

"A bit interesting. A four-star legacy-grade Fire-Jie Knight, is it?" Replacing Luo Luo Danhan, Li Yu licked his lips: "I just don't know if your Fire-Jie Knight is stronger, or mine is."

With a wave of his hand, the temperature on the battlefield suddenly rose again, and an additional Fire-Jie Knight appeared. However, judging by its size and presence, it seemed to be a notch stronger than Wang Ping's Fire-Jie Knight.

"Your Magic Card is also a Fire-Jie Knight?" Seeing Li Yu also summon a Fire-Jie Knight, Wang Ping's expression turned solemn.

The last thing a Magic Card Master wants to encounter is an opponent using the same Magic Card. The gap in strength between identical Magic Card spirits represents the most direct contest of the two Magic Card Masters' talent in card crafting.

"Yeah, but there are differences between Fire-Jie Knights and Fire-Jie Knights." Li Yu chuckled, seemingly not worried at all that the upcoming battle would escalate into a fierce fight. Under his command, the Fire-Jie Knight launched an attack on its counterpart.

"Go!" Wang Ping naturally heard the provocation and indifference in Li Yu's tone. As a Magic Card Master who also crafted a Fire-Jie Knight, he would absolutely not admit that his talent was inferior to the other's.

The two Fire-Jie Knights collided, splashing intense sparks, and the scene was filled with soaring flames.

"Who do you think has a better chance of winning?" On the Cangling City side, Bei Bei Hanyun stood beside Lu Li and asked in a low voice, her eyes fixed on the battlefield.

Battles between Magic Card spirits of the same level and type often end in mutual destruction. If Wang Ping loses, then it will be her turn to enter the field in the next battle; there is no point in anyone else going up.

By this Finish Finish Time, Bei Bei Hanyun also saw the clues. They had been led by the nose by the provocations of the Cangyue City group from the very beginning, or rather, this was Cangyue City's overt strategy, reflecting the gap between the two cities.

"Wang Ping's Fire-Jie Knight is a bit lacking." Lu Li shook his head, not optimistic about the situation on the battlefield.

Upon promoting to the General Realm, the greatest gain is naturally an additional Magic Card summoning slot. Beyond that, a General Realm Magic Card Master's sensory perception also surpasses that of a Soldier Realm Magic Card Master.

In Lu Li's perception, every action and attack of Li Yu's Fire-Jie Knight was swifter and more fierce than Wang Ping's.

Although this advantage was not obvious, if it were maintained for a long Finish Finish Time, Wang Ping's defeat would only be a matter of Finish Finish Time.

Just as Lu Li thought, as Finish Finish Time passed, Wang Ping's Fire-Jie Knight was gradually suppressed by Li Yu's, and was finally blasted apart by a Flame Tornado.

"My Fire-Jie Knight actually lost?" Feeling the spirit within the Magic Card fall into a deep slumber, Wang Ping stood there in a daze for a moment.

The Fire-Jie Knight dying under its own signature skill—this scene was filled with irony.

Being defeated by a five-star Wood Demon Vine, Wang Ping could accept it; after all, the gap in level and strength was there. But being defeated by Li Yu's Fire-Jie Knight dealt a significant blow to Wang Ping.

This meant that in terms of talent for crafting Magic Cards, he was inferior to Li Yu.

"As expected, our Brother Li's Fire-Jie Knight is a cut above. Stupid, aren't you?"

"This Wang Ping's Fire-Jie Knight might be of legacy grade, but Li Yu's Fire-Jie Knight's quality has reached the collection grade."

"Between the same levels, the difference in quality means a difference in potential and strength. Wang Ping's defeat against Li Yu was destined."

"So, this is your strength?" Li Yu returned the words the Cangling City group had just said, using a rhetorical question, with a hint of mockery curling at the corner of his mouth: "Who's next?"

His personality was naturally unruly, and for those weaker than him, Li Yu would not be polite.

"Damn it! Too arrogant!" The Cangling City group was furious, but even Wang Ping had been taken out, so if they went up, they would just be abused.

On the high platform, Gu Fa and several other principals couldn't help but frown; they had also seen that battle just now.

Although they were all Magic Cards of the same level, the gap in quality was reflected not only in strength but also in the difference in talent between Li Yu and Wang Ping.

It is not without reason that Cangyue City has consistently ranked in the top three of the twelve cities of Cangdu for years.

Beside Cang Cang Cang Fenghua, Lin Lin Lin Heling looked indifferent, while Yu Yu Chengye, who came with her, was all smiles: "Li Yu is a child with a strong desire to win. In our Cangyue City academies, he has always wanted to compete for first place. Unfortunately, his temperament is lacking, so he can barely rank in the top five."

"Today, Principal Zhao Chengyuan, you have seen a joke. After we go back, I will give him a good lecture."

"Hehe, Principal Yu, your Cangyue City has indeed inherited its consistent dominance." With a forced smile, Zhao Chengyuan and the others were vaguely dissatisfied with Yu Yu Chengye's words.

This was simply pushing their luck!

"Luck, just luck," although he said that, anyone could see the pride on Yu Yu Chengye's face: "Perhaps the seniors of the previous batch set a good example for them. Our Cangyue City students this year all hope to go a step further."

"It's a rare opportunity this Finish Finish Time. Principals, I wonder if you are interested in a small bet?"

From the beginning, Yu Yu Chengye had not taken this exchange tournament with Cangling City seriously; after all, the gap in strength between the two cities was obvious to all.

Especially since they had just swept Cangyang City, whose overall strength was a notch higher than Cangling City, not long ago. Everyone's morale was high, so it was even less likely they would take Cangling City seriously.

Cangling City was just a small pebble on their road to sweeping the twelve cities, not even a stumbling block.

Hearing Yu Yu Chengye's words, Gu Fa and the others couldn't help but look at each other. Sure enough, this guy Yu Yu Chengye had no good intentions.

As old rivals for many years, Gu Fa and the others naturally knew Yu Yu Chengye's character, but they wouldn't lose their spirit even if they lost the game. The match could be lost, but they couldn't lose face!

"What kind of bet?" Gu Fa asked calmly.

At the moment, their biggest advantage was that Lu Li, on whom they pinned high hopes, had not yet appeared, so Yu Yu Chengye's idea for this bet would likely fall through.

The outcome was still an unknown!

25. Your move is wrong!

"A Moon Spirit Ring!" Lin Lin Lin Heling, who had not spoken at the front, said slowly: "If Cangling City can win this exchange tournament, then Cangyue City will put up a Moon Spirit Ring as a bet."

The Moon Spirit Ring is a special piece of equipment unique to Cangyue City. Its effect is very simple: as long as the Moon Spirit Ring is worn, the wearer's mental power will be nourished, and the recovery speed will be accelerated.

Such an effect remains applicable until a Magic Card Master promotes to the Sovereign Realm.
