Chapter 185

After all, in their cognition, the Magic Card Spirits held by Yan Yuexin were indeed capable of causing such a big commotion. This made them have to sigh—worthy of the title of Red Lotus Holy Maiden, a Holy Maiden candidate certified by the Flame Spirit Sect!

Only, what these Yougong contestants didn't know was that the Red Lotus Holy Maiden, on whom they pinned high hopes, now had a very subtle gaze, because she was very certain that this explosion was absolutely not caused by her.

Furthermore, Lu Li's figure had already emerged in Yan Yuexin's mind. After all, having witnessed the combat scene of Glorious and the Kraken, she was very clear about the intensity.

Just one round of bombing, and quite a few Minos warriors were directly taken out. The remaining Minos warriors who were not hit were basically all blown over, with the bulls injured.

Moo!

Facing the attack of the bombers, the remaining Minos warriors made angry sounds. Unfortunately, the flight altitude of the carrier-based aircraft was out of their attack range. Even if they threw the weapons in their hands, they would be flexibly dodged by the other party.

Returning, after another round of bombing, the remaining Minos warriors were all taken out, and this area returned to its original calm.

"Commander, I've cleaned up this place a little!" Confirming that there were no more Minos survivors, Glorious then withdrew most of the carrier-based aircraft, but still left a few hovering near the two for reconnaissance.

"Well done, Glorious." Casting a Stripping Technique on the corpses of the remaining Minos warriors, and giving Glorious another head-pat, under the girl's coquettish gaze, Lu Li raised his hand to summon the Thunder Dragon Beast.

Subsequently, Lu Li picked up Glorious and sat on the back of the Thunder Dragon. "We're setting off, sit tight."

Although Glorious's main body is an armored aircraft carrier with a displacement of 23,000 tons, as a ship girl, she can naturally adjust her own weight.

Under normal conditions, Glorious is not much different from an ordinary woman—of course, this is ignoring the thickness of the armored deck.

If one were to count the thickness of the armored deck, then even looking at the Magic Card civilization, not many people were the ship girl's opponents.

At the same time Lu Li set off, the other Magic Card Masters participating in the Academy Battle also set off one after another, heading toward the depths of the labyrinth.

"It has begun. I wonder who will be able to achieve the final victory this time." Outside the Minotaur Labyrinth, seeing everyone set off through the light screen, Changsun Xuanjing said.

However, because of the Supreme's order, Changsun Xuanjing's gaze fell more on Lu Li. And upon seeing Lu Li summon Glorious, this Star Hall Master of the Central Court couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

With her status and position, she actually had no impression of the Magic Card Spirit summoned by Lu Li.

Although Changsun Xuanjing didn't dare to say she knew all the Magic Card Spirits of the Magic Card civilization, because she was in a key position in the Central Court, she had more opportunities to come into contact with different types of Magic Cards than the average person, but even so, she couldn't tell Glorious's affiliation.

"A bit interesting. No wonder the Supreme would have me specifically pay attention to this Lu Li." Countless thoughts flashed in her heart, and Changsun Xuanjing thought silently: "But if it's just that the Magic Card is a bit special, it's not enough to make the Supreme care so much. What other special features do you have? Lu Li!"

Not only Changsun Xuanjing, but Wen Xiuyuan was also visibly stunned after seeing Glorious. Especially seeing Glorious's attack method of killing Minos warriors, it made Wen Xiuyuan couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Did Lu Li produce another original Magic Card?

He had an impression of the Thunder Dragon Beast, but for Glorious, it was indeed his first time seeing this Magic Card Spirit.

Unfortunately, Meng Ningdie didn't come along with the team this time. Otherwise, he could have asked her.

In Wen Xiuyuan's view, given the relationship between Lu Li and Meng Ningdie, she definitely knew about Glorious's existence a step earlier than he did.

A hint of regret flashed in his heart, but Wen Xiuyuan soon didn't think so much and placed his gaze on the light screen again.

Besides Wen Xiuyuan, the other three Prefects, as well as the mentors of the four great academies, were the same, and their gazes also fell on the light screen one after another.

The Academy Battle had just begun, and the space of the Minotaur Labyrinth was astonishing enough, but there were still lucky contestants who had already met.

350. Get lost, don't even think about it!

"I wonder which academy will achieve the final victory this time?" Unlike Changsun Xuanjing, Wen Xiuyuan, and the others who were just watching the changes, the mentors from the four great academies were discussing who would achieve victory this time.

After all, the academy that achieved victory would receive a quota to enter the Ancient Battlefield. And in the Ancient Battlefield, compared to other places, it was easier to promote to the Sovereign Realm!

"It must be our Beijiang. The last exchange tournament between the four great academies was won by our Beijiang! Our team this time is even stronger than the last one, and we have Kou Zimo as the team leader."

"Kou Zimo has stepped into the High-Tier King Realm. It can be said that he is the strongest contestant participating in this exchange tournament. Isn't victory in the Academy Battle within reach?"

"That's hard to say. You were just lucky last time. Besides, there's no rule that says a high level guarantees victory. The condition for winning this Academy Battle is to seize the quest item within the Minotaur Labyrinth and safely bring the quest item back to the ruins. That is the key to winning."

"Besides, you have Kou Zimo in the Northern Territory, but don't we have a team leader in the Southern Territory? And we have Yan Yuexin this year. She is not only a direct descendant of the Territory Lord but also a Holy Maiden of the Flame Spirit Sect. If the Magic Card Masters of your Northern Territory encounter her, you definitely won't get any benefits."

"Don't forget us in the Western Territory. When it comes to team battles, if you come one, we eliminate one; if you come two, we eliminate two."

"Talking so much nonsense is useless. Let's see the real results. When it comes to hard strength, our Eastern Territory doesn't lose to you."

The mentors present all had strength reaching at least the Emperor Realm, and there were quite a few Sovereigns. But now, for the sake of their respective academies, everyone was arguing one after another, and no one would let the other.

For a time, the scene was full of excitement. If it weren't for the presence of the Star Hall Master and the four Prefects, quite a few people would probably have started fighting.

After all, the four great academies were already in a state of competition. Not only the students, but many mentors were also at odds with each other.

"Commander, I have found the location leading to the next floor." Inside the Minotaur Labyrinth, Glorious reminded Lu Li, who had just harvested a wave of materials.

"Faster than expected?" A hint of surprise flashed on Lu Li's face. He didn't expect Glorious to find the entrance to the next floor so quickly.

And this once again proved that letting Glorious dispatch carrier-based aircraft for reconnaissance was the correct choice.

If it were Tianlan, although Lu Li believed she could also find the entrance to the second floor, the time would probably be extended quite a bit. After all, whether in speed or quantity, carrier-based aircraft were at an advantageous level.

"Because this concerns the Commander, the children are working very hard." Seeing the surprise on Lu Li's face, Glorious covered her mouth and smiled. "Only, the entrance to the next floor that the children found doesn't seem to be just one."

As she spoke, confusion flashed in Glorious's eyes. "Besides that, every entrance to the second floor has Minotaurs similar to the one just now guarding it."

"The children once tried to lure these Minotaur monsters away, but it didn't achieve much effect. As long as these Minotaur guards leave a certain distance, no matter how they are attacked, they will return to the entrance."

"Besides that, the entrance to the second floor seems to possess a very special power. As long as these guards return to the entrance to the second floor, their recovery speed will be terrifyingly improved."

"Although the strength of those guards is only at the seven-star level, just with the children I sent out now, it is not enough to solve these Minotaur guards."

"Is that so?" Lu Li nodded in realization and looked around. "After all, the coverage of the Minotaur Labyrinth is not low. It makes sense that there is more than one entrance to the next floor."

"As for the Minotaur guards you mentioned, since their task is to guard the entrance to the next floor, they certainly wouldn't be easily lured away."

"I didn't expect that the entrance to the second floor would actually have the effect of a spring. It seems this Minotaur Labyrinth is much more interesting than imagined."

"However, before setting off for the second floor, it seems we need to clean up again." As the words fell, several attacks suddenly passed Glorious and headed straight for Lu Li.

Clearly, these attacks from the ambushers were aimed at the Magic Card Master from the beginning. As long as the Magic Card Master was eliminated, then no matter how strong the Magic Card Spirit was, it would have no meaning.

And all contestants who entered the Minotaur Labyrinth had the labyrinth mark on them. Even if they were in fatal danger, they would only be eliminated and teleported back to the ruins, and would not really die.

Naturally, all contestants had fewer scruples when attacking.

Boom!

A violent explosion rang through the entire space, kicking up waves of smoke and dust. Even Glorious was affected by this explosion. After all, the positions of the two were very close to begin with.

"Success!" In the dark, seeing Lu Li and Glorious take this wave of attacks without any defensive measures, Ci Qiuling and several other Magic Card Masters from the Western Territory's Mingdian showed a hint of joy on their faces.

They were now in a competitive relationship. Whether it was defeating the opponent openly or using an ambush like this, as long as they could eliminate the opponent, they were all good means.

"Old Man Wen, the adaptability of your student is not very good." In the ruins, also seeing this scene, Kou Shan couldn't help but tease.

Their Western Territory Mingdian had good luck. Although many contestants were scattered after entering the Minotaur Labyrinth, Ci Qiuling and the others in front of them were very lucky to meet up.

If it were Magic Card Masters from the other three great academies, perhaps they would have just met, but for the Magic Card Masters of the Western Territory's Mingdian, the bonus after combining was far beyond one plus one.

Subsequently, Ci Qiuling and the others discussed it, killing Minos warriors while ambushing contestants from the other three great academies.

Regarding this, Kou Shan didn't feel there was any problem. After all, Mingdian was best at team combat, so naturally, they couldn't give up this advantage.

As for means like ambushing, it had nothing to do with being underhanded. After all, this was one of the means to win. Even the other three Prefects would not raise objections just because of this.

"That's not necessarily true." Being teased by Kou Shan, Wen Xiuyuan naturally wouldn't back down. And in his view, Lu Li wouldn't be so easily ambushed and eliminated. "Old Man Kou, it might be you who flip over in the gutter."

"So what? Don't forget what our Mingdian is best at." Kou Shan also didn't back down. Their contestants were all good at cooperation, and it was a preemptive ambush. There had already been quite a few examples before; how could they lose this wave?

"Since you are so confident in your students, shall we make a bet?" With a roll of his eyes, Wen Xiuyuan proposed. Since the one being ambushed was Lu Li, Wen Xiuyuan felt that if he didn't pit Kou Shan, he wouldn't be able to get over it.

"Get lost, don't even think about it!" Unfortunately, Kou Shan didn't fall for the trap. Based on his understanding of Wen Xiuyuan, this guy absolutely wouldn't make a bet he wasn't sure of, but this also made Kou Shan curious about what the other party was so confident about.

After all, except for a limited few, the strength of the contestants participating in the exchange tournament from the four great academies would not differ too much.

Seeing that Kou Shan didn't fall for it, Wen Xiuyuan didn't care. After all, they were old rivals for many years, and they knew each other like the back of their hands.

351. We have a numerical advantage!

"Oh my! Where did these little bugs come from, daring to lay a hand on the Commander." More than ten carrier-based aircraft flew out from the smoke, and before Ci Qiuling and the others could react, they dropped dozens of high-explosive bombs!

Rumble!

The same explosion sound, the same thick smoke rose, but this time it was Ci Qiuling and the others who were attacked. Even two unlucky guys had a burst of luck and were directly "blown to death," being eliminated by the labyrinth mark.

The dust settled, and Lu Li appeared in front of everyone completely unscathed. Twelve angel-like wings circled around Lu Li like a shield, protecting him from harm.

Heaven's Shelter!

The defensive skill of Angewomon X, even without stimulating the light energy within it all at once, was enough to perfectly withstand the ambush just now.

Under the blessing of the two major abilities of Source Synchronization + Reform, even if he was only a King, Lu Li could fully exert the abilities of the Magic Card Spirit whose source was synchronized.

Even besides Heaven's Shelter, Lu Li also had a 20% damage reduction skill from the Armored Aircraft Carrier. Even if the power of the attack doubled, it would not be able to hurt him.

As for Glorious, the girl also had the damage reduction of the Armored Aircraft Carrier, and the vast majority of the attack just now was aimed at Lu Li; she was only affected by it, and the armor on her body didn't even have any wear and tear.

"Actually took the ambush just now without damage, how is that possible?" Seeing that Lu Li and Glorious were both safe and sound, Ci Qiuling and the others who survived the explosion showed astonishment on their faces.

It wasn't that they hadn't thought about failing, but they hadn't expected that the ambush just now couldn't even cause the slightest trouble for the other party.

Not only did they not succeed, but their own side was even counter-killed by two people by the other party so quickly.

"But even so, we still have a numerical advantage." Only, very quickly, Ci Qiuling reacted immediately, subsequently summoning more Magic Card Spirits to fill the vacancy, and the others followed suit upon seeing this.

Just now, in order to achieve the best ambush effect, they didn't summon all the Magic Card Spirits. Unfortunately, in the end, the result of the ambush was still not ideal.

But since they had been discovered by Lu Li now, they would just attack head-on. ===== CHAPTER 186 =====
