Chapter 15

A Magic Card Master consumes mental power to craft Magic Cards. Often, when crafting, even if the body can hold up, the rapidly depleted mental power becomes the final straw that breaks the Magic Card Master.

Especially in the later stages of crafting high-rank Magic Cards, the dual torture of body and mind tests the Magic Card Master's willpower.

Therefore, the Moon Spirit Ring, which is applicable even to the Emperor Realm, naturally becomes the pursuit of many Magic Card Masters.

Although the wager was proposed by Yu Chengye, without the approval of Lin Heling, the City Lord, even as the principal of Cangyue Academy, he would not have the authority to make such a bet on this occasion.

After all, this involves a confrontation between two cities.

"Lin Heling, are you serious?" However, even Cang Fenghua did not expect Lin Heling to put up a Moon Spirit Ring as the wager this time.

The effect of the Moon Spirit Ring is powerful, but its production capacity has always been despairingly low; the entire Cangyue City's annual output is a mere five!

Even more absurdly, once a Moon Spirit Ring is worn, it binds to the current owner; even if taken off, others cannot use it!

This means that a Moon Spirit Ring can only bind to one owner; wanting to pass it down as a family heirloom is absolutely impossible.

The reason for this situation is that the Moon Spirit Ring resonates with the mental power it first comes into contact with, changing to the same frequency band as the wearer's mental power, and every Magic Card Master's mental power frequency band is unique.

If the mental power is not in the same band, the Moon Spirit Ring will not function; it is just a slightly better-looking ring.

Because of this particularity, even in Cangyue City itself, the Moon Spirit Ring is a scarce commodity. For Magic Card Masters outside of Cangyue City to obtain a Moon Spirit Ring, the difficulty is comparable to ascending to heaven.

"Naturally!" Lin Heling's gaze carried a hint of provocation. Since she dared to initiate this exchange match and dared to put up the Moon Spirit Ring as a wager, it meant she had absolute confidence in winning: "Cang Fenghua, do you dare to accept?"

They had already done this once in Cangyang City, and now it was just a repeat.

Lin Heling's thoughts were the same as Yu Chengye's; she did not believe Cangling City could stir up any trouble in this exchange match.

The achievements in the previous college entrance examination gave the Cangyue City group a lot of confidence, and on top of that, this batch produced Liu Yanran, a candidate whose strength is not inferior to the previous batch, and even a notch better.

Cangyue City's goal for this year's college entrance examination is to go even further! Cangyang City and Cangling City are not enough to have much impact on them.

"This crazy woman really has a good plan." Facing Lin Heling's provocation, Cang Fenghua couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

Judging from the battle situation on the scene, Cangyue City indeed has a great chance of winning this exchange match. After all, besides Lu Li and Bei Hanyun, Wang Ping is already the strongest on the Cangling City side, and Li Yu, who defeated him, is only in the top five of Cangyue City.

"If it were in the past, it might really be possible for you to succeed," Cang Fenghua thought silently in his heart: "But this time, our Cangling City has also produced a genius that you in Cangyue City, and even the entire Cangdu, would never expect."

"Lu Li, whether this is a loss or a gain depends on you." Thinking of this, Cang Fenghua looked at Lu Li without a trace and found that the other party was still calm, so he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

"Why wouldn't I dare?" After pondering for a few seconds and pretending to consider, Cang Fenghua responded lightly.

Although the wager was not stated, everyone knew that if Cangyue City won, Cang Fenghua would also put up a wager comparable to the Moon Spirit Ring.

Of course, a more important point was that Gu Fa and the others understood Cang Fenghua's thoughts; they also had confidence in Lu Li. In this exchange match, Cangling City might not necessarily lose.

During the conversation, there was a new change on the battlefield.

"I'll leave the rest to you, Lu Li." Bei Hanyun took a deep breath and prepared to step forward. Wang Ping had lost, and it would only be self-humiliation for others to go up. Currently, only she and Lu Li could deal with Li Yu.

Compared to letting Lu Li go up now, Bei Hanyun felt it would be safer to let herself test the waters first and consume Cangyue City's vital strength.

Although Li Yu's Fire-Jie Knight and her Water Dragon Beast were comparable in rank and grade, the Water Dragon Beast still held an attribute advantage. Bei Hanyun had a certain degree of confidence that she could deal with the opponent relatively easily.

"No!" However, Lu Li reached out and stopped Bei Hanyun directly: "Let me do it. I actually find this Li Yu quite annoying."

After speaking, Lu Li walked past the crowd onto the battlefield.

"Uh!" Seeing Lu Li intending to do it himself, Bei Hanyun looked at his back and silently withdrew the Water Dragon Beast's Magic Card.

Since the big boss had entered the field himself, she might as well cheer from the sidelines.

Although it was estimated that she wouldn't have much of a chance to perform after Lu Li entered, it was still better than being beaten off the field, right?

"Holy crap, Lu Li is going up already? Isn't it a bit too early?"

"So what? Anyway, I find this Li Yu annoying. If Lu Li can teach him a lesson, that would be even better."

"Don't worry, with Lu Li's strength, he will definitely crush Cangyue City!"

Seeing Lu Li enter the field, Wang Ping and the others felt their previously disappointed mood become excited. This change also caused dissatisfaction among the Cangyue City group, especially the remark about crushing them.

"This isn't a competition of talking, wait until you win before saying anything."

"Heh, crushing? If this Lu Li can take down Li Yu in one minute, I'll do a handstand and poop!"

"Is this person Lu Li?" In the Cangyue City team, Liu Yanran's eyes also fell on Lu Li, carrying a hint of curiosity.

Liu Yanran did not participate in the war of words; it was meaningless. Instead, her eyes were fixed on Lu Li. Being able to be pinned with high hopes by the Cangling City group, Lu Li's strength shouldn't be too bad.

But Liu Yanran still didn't feel much tension. Thinking of the trump card Magic Card combination in her hand, the curiosity in her eyes turned back to indifference.

No matter what, she would lead Cangyue City to the final victory in this exchange match!

26. Please start your performance

"Finally, someone came?" Seeing Lu Li enter, Li Yu didn't care much, his face still wearing an arrogant expression: "It seems your status in the minds of others is unusual. I hope you can provide me with some fun."

In his words, Li Yu's eyes carried a hint of disdain.

Judging from the performance of the Cangling City group when the opponent entered, the Lu Li in front of him was very likely their strongest.

This was only the second round, and they had already sent out their strongest contestant. In Li Yu's view, Cangling City was even worse than Cangyang City, which made him lose interest.

"You'll know soon enough." Lu Li didn't engage in a war of words; in his view, it was completely meaningless because he didn't intend to give the opponent a chance to stay on the field any longer.

With a wave of his hand, the figure of the Dark Magician Girl emerged.

"Wow, what a beautiful Magic Card spirit!" The Cangyue City group, seeing the Dark Magician Girl for the first time, couldn't help but have their eyes light up.

Even, from time to time, some people's gazes swept obscurely between Hearing Mana and Liu Yanran, obviously comparing their beauty.

"So what if she's beautiful? The combat power of a Magic Card has nothing to do with beauty." However, soon, many exchange students from Cangyue City came to their senses, their faces carrying a hint of unnaturalness. The Dark Magician Girl was the enemy's Magic Card, after all; no matter what, their previous loss of composure shouldn't have happened.

Liu Yanran didn't care much about these projected gazes. She was also attracted by the Dark Magician Girl's pure beauty, and there was even a hint of liking in the depths of her eyes.

It could only be said that the Dark Magician Girl's purity was a killer for men, women, young, and old alike.

But soon, Liu Yanran felt a faint sense of threat from the Dark Magician Girl, which made the liking in her eyes slowly recede, and she couldn't help but feel surprised in her heart.

Even in the exchange match with Cangyang City not long ago, she had never had such a feeling.

Not only Liu Yanran, but Lin Heling and the others on the podium also frowned. The aura emitted by the Dark Magician Girl seemed a bit unusual compared to ordinary Magic Card spirits.

More importantly, whether it was Lin Heling, who was a battle maniac, or Yu Chengye, the principal of Cangyue Academy, including others from Cangyue City, they had no impression of the Dark Magician Girl, which made a hint of unease rise in their hearts.

The higher the rank of a Magic Card Master, the more cautious they are about the unknown, especially since the Dark Magician Girl gave them a feeling different from the past.

However, considering that Li Yu was only in the top five of Cangyue City's batch, and Lu Li was very likely the strongest in Cangling City, everyone felt a little relieved.

"Is this your confidence?" Glancing at the calm Cang Fenghua and the others, Lin Heling shook her head slightly. With such strength, they weren't even qualified to be their sparring partners.

Even if Lu Li was strong, even if she couldn't see the details of the Dark Magician Girl, Lin Heling still didn't believe the opponent had the strength to crush the Cangyue City team?

In their team, there were four others stronger than Li Yu, including Liu Yanran, the genius they pinned high hopes on.

Even if a small accident occurred, it was still within an acceptable range.

"Finish it, Hearing Mana." Summoning the Dark Magician Girl, Lu Li gave the order directly.

"Understood, Master!" As Lu Li's Magic Card spirit, Hearing Mana naturally knew what the situation was, especially the conversation of the Cangyue City group and Li Yu's attitude towards Lu Li, all of which made her very unhappy.

"Dark Magic!" Waving the staff in her hand, a dark purple magic impact headed towards the Fire-Jie Knight. Wherever it passed, space even showed faint signs of slight distortion.

"Fire-Jie Knight!" Li Yu, who had previously seemed unconcerned, couldn't help but change his expression after sensing the power of the Dark Magic.

Flame Shield!

Flame Tornado!

Under Li Yu's command, the Fire-Jie Knight's offensive and defensive skills were activated again, as if it had transformed into a Flame War God.

Seeing this, Li Yu finally felt a little relieved, but the next second, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in disbelief.

The Flame Tornado collided with the Dark Magic and was decomposed in less than a second, and then it was the Fire-Jie Knight's turn. The Flame Shield on its body was like paper, failing to provide any defensive effect at all.

It was like a raging fire meeting a flood, extinguished instantly.

The moment the Fire-Jie Knight was enveloped by the Dark Magic, Li Yu sensed that his link with the Fire-Jie Knight was severed.

This meant his Fire-Jie Knight had been instantly killed!

"How is this possible!" Li Yu's face was full of astonishment. His Fire-Boundary Knight was of collector's grade; even facing a five-star Magic Card, it could trade a few blows. Even facing the other four in Cangyue City who ranked higher than him, except for the strongest Liu Yanran, his Fire-Boundary Knight could fight for a few rounds. But now, it was instantly killed?

If his opponent were Liu Yanran, Li Yu wouldn't find it too strange; after all, she was the first in Cangyue City, and more importantly, she held a six-star Magic Card.

But Cangling City? How could there be a peer who could instantly kill him?

"As expected! I said Lu Li would definitely crush the opponent!"

"Stunned, right? Now do you know the power of our Cangling City?"

"Dark Magician Girl, the god forever!"

"The one who said they would do a handstand and poop, don't forget what you said."

Seeing the Fire-Jie Knight instantly killed, Bei Hanyun and the others couldn't help but cheer, and even kindly reminded the opponent to perform. Only Wang Ping had a strange look on his face.

How to put it, Li Yu, who had been acting very arrogant, was instantly killed by Lu Li, which Wang Ping also found very satisfying. But the opponent's Fire-Jie Knight being solved by the Dark Magician Girl in one move still gave him a strong sense of déjà vu.

After all, he also used a Fire-Jie Knight.
