Chapter 189

"Lu Li's strength is indeed beyond expectations. However, don't forget, he ultimately only eliminated Hu Wenhua alone. Kou Zimo eliminated those two contestants of yours very strongly."

"If Lu Li can enter the last floor of the labyrinth, it's only a matter of time before the two meet. I hope that when he encounters Kou Zimo, your student can still perform so strongly."

In Mu Zhan's view, no matter how strong Lu Li was, from the beginning of the exchange tournament until now, the Magic Card Spirits he summoned only reached the eight-star level at strongest.

Although it didn't exclude the possibility that Lu Li also possessed nine-star Magic Cards—after all, the other party only used half a year to promote from a newcomer to a King, breaking the convention.

But, counting it all up, being able to produce one nine-star Magic Card was already shocking enough. No matter what, nine-star Magic Cards were the ceiling of high-level Magic Cards, whether in production difficulty or material requirements, they surpassed eight-star Magic Cards.

Even if someone as liver-focused as Kou Zimo practiced for quite a bit of time in various dimensional planes of Beijiang after graduation, he only had two cards in total.

Mu Zhan really didn't believe that Lu Li could promote to King in half a year, and could also produce more and stronger nine-star Magic Cards than Kou Zimo in this half year? In terms of quantity, he had already won, right?

Nine-star Magic Cards are already the standard configuration for the Emperor Realm. Kou Zimo and the others could produce nine-star Magic Cards, but that was also because their own talent was one grade higher than others, and they had the support of the four great academies!

Without the support of the four great academies, just the resources alone would be enough to consume quite a bit of their time to collect!

One had to know that among the contestants of this Academy Battle, each academy only had a sparse one or two contestants who produced nine-star Magic Cards, and these contestants were students who had been pursuing advanced studies for a year after graduation!

Even contestants like Xu Zhiyun, Si Xuanang, or Hu Wenhua, who were among the best in their grade and had also promoted to the King Realm, did not successfully produce nine-star Magic Cards.

No matter how awesome Lu Li's talent was, he couldn't promote to King and produce nine-star Magic Cards in half a year. If that were really the case, Mu Zhan felt he could retire from Beijiang in a few years.

Don't talk about rolling with peers; this is simply rolling these Undying experts to death!

"Hey, hey, did you forget about us?" Hearing Mu Zhan's words, before Wen Xiuyuan could refute, Lan Xiatong and Kou Shan were the first to be unhappy.

At least the contestants of their Yougong and Mingdian had not been eliminated yet. How could it be said that the champion was born between the Heaven Academy and Beijiang?

Do you really think we're dead!

However, Lu Li's performance just now was indeed dazzling enough. Even Lan Xiatong and Kou Shan could no longer ignore the other party like before. If their own students encountered Lu Li, they couldn't guarantee that they would definitely win against Lu Li.

"Hmm? Did this labyrinth move just now?" Inside the Minotaur Labyrinth second floor, Lu Li frowned, looking at the stone wall in front of him.

After eliminating Hu Wenhua, the subsequent journey could be called smooth sailing. It only took a very small amount of time for Lu Li to reach the entrance to the second floor guided by Glorious. As for that seven-star Minos guardian, after Glorious arrived in person, it was directly taken out in just one round of bombing.

It was just that he had already reached the second floor of the labyrinth for quite a long time, but even the carrier-based aircraft arranged by Glorious hadn't found the entrance to the third floor until now.

At first, Lu Li thought his luck had run out, but just now, he discovered that it seemed not to be the case. The second floor of the labyrinth seemed to have come alive. He was clearly walking forward, but the next second, it was as if he had suddenly retreated more than ten meters.

"It seems that finding the entrance to the third floor is not an easy thing." Lu Li knocked on the stone wall. "So the second floor is an active labyrinth?"

357. Mischievous Glorious

"Commander, the children seem to have discovered this too." On the side, Glorious also spoke at this time. "At first, the children didn't discover that they had been transferred, but after repeated tests, they reached a most likely conclusion."

"The situation in front of us has a certain difference from the active labyrinth in your understanding. The correct point should be that this floor of the labyrinth is full of space nodes."

"These space nodes are very hidden. Even if someone walks past, there is only a very slight, near-zero magic power generated."

"But as long as you pass through these space nodes, you will be randomly teleported to various places within the labyrinth, and this kind of teleportation generally cannot be detected."

"Space teleportation nodes? That is indeed a relatively troublesome point." Hearing Glorious's explanation, Lu Li withdrew his hand from knocking on the stone wall. "How long will it take to solve it?"

Since Glorious could bring up this point, then based on his understanding of her, the other party had likely thought of a solution. After all, for a ship girl Magic Card that possessed super-speed calculation ability, this kind of occasion could be considered a professional match.

"Farewell!" As the words fell, Yan Yuexin plunged into the space node behind her and teleported away. Just now, she had teleported over through this space node.

"Since that's the case, let's wait a bit longer." Lu Li nodded, not too anxious. After all, even if he set off now, he might eventually return to the starting point.

But more importantly, even if someone reached the third floor and got the quest item for the competition a step ahead of him, they still had to bring this quest item out of the Minotaur Labyrinth to achieve victory in the Academy Battle.

And during this period, everyone could get the coordinates of the contestant holding the quest item. So from the moment the quest item was obtained, the Academy Battle would officially enter its climax!

"Understood!" Getting Lu Li's instruction, Glorious nodded, then raised her hand to summon, and more carrier-based aircraft flew out, disappearing into the distance.

Although Lu Li didn't urge her, Glorious naturally didn't want to let the other party wait for too long. After all, this quest item was better held by herself to feel secure.

Not only Lu Li, but the contestants who entered the second floor one after another also slowly discovered the unusualness of the second floor of the labyrinth. Quite a few Magic Card Masters had to send out their respective Magic Card Spirits for testing, and among them, the contestants from the Instrument Capital were undoubtedly the most handy.

Facing such an environment, mechanical Magic Cards with fast calculation ability could be called to occupy the home-field advantage.

The competition of the four great academies involved all aspects, and it was also a comprehensive test for all contestants. After all, the final winner could get the opportunity to enter the Ancient Battlefield.

And in the Ancient Battlefield, what kind of danger would be encountered, even an Undying Realm expert couldn't be sure.

"Commander, I have found the route to the third floor." About twenty minutes passed, and Glorious spoke abruptly. "The second floor is nearly half the size of the first floor, and there is only one entrance to the third floor. However, if you move forward along this route, you will encounter quite a few Magic Card Masters."

The space node teleportation within the second floor of the labyrinth was not without any rules, otherwise, whether one could find the entrance to the third floor would really depend on luck.

Therefore, as long as all the rules were found and one moved forward along the teleportation rules corresponding to the space nodes, one would definitely reach the entrance to the third floor.

"It doesn't matter. If we encounter them, as long as they are not contestants from the Heaven Academy, just eliminate the others." Regarding this, Lu Li didn't have too many thoughts.

Because if they weren't eliminated now, they would still encounter them in the end.

"Always fighting for you, Commander." Holding the parasol, a smile appeared on Glorious's face, and she set off in one direction first.

Just a few steps, and the graceful figure had already disappeared from Lu Li's sight. Seeing this, Lu Li didn't delay much, walking along the direction where Glorious disappeared, and it was also just a few steps, and his figure also disappeared.

"This time it's here, Commander." Glorious's voice came into his ears. Lu Li looked up and saw that the other party was standing about two meters to his right, waving for him to come over, then stepped out and disappeared again.

Seeing this, a strange expression couldn't help but rise on Lu Li's face. This girl wouldn't have treated this as playing a game, right?

Shaking off the thoughts in his mind, Lu Li continued to follow Glorious forward. Forget it, anyway, he hadn't encountered an enemy yet, so he would let Glorious be.

Regarding his own Magic Card Spirit, Lu Li still trusted her relatively. If it involved combat, if he encountered an opponent, Glorious would absolutely not have such a performance.

"By the way, did you notice that Lu Li doesn't seem to worry about going the wrong way at all?" Inside the ruins, Feng Jingtian looked at Lu Li on the light screen who was walking as if he were taking a stroll, with a painful expression. "Why do I feel like Lu Li is taking a stroll in his own backyard?"

Feng Jingtian had good luck. He also encountered other contestants from the Heaven Academy at the entrance from the first floor to the second floor of the labyrinth.

As for the Minos guardian on the first floor, it naturally didn't count for anything for Feng Jingtian and the others.

But unfortunately, just after entering the second floor and walking a few steps, Feng Jingtian and the others encountered a team from the Western Territory's Mingdian.

The individual strength of Feng Jingtian and the others was stronger than the Mingdian contestants, but when reflected in team battles, the gap was forcibly smoothed out by the cooperation of Mingdian.

In the end, the few people who fought until they were on fire were both wiped out, which could be said to be very dramatic.

However, it was only until they left the Minotaur Labyrinth that these few people knew that the second floor of the labyrinth was full of space teleportation nodes. Even if they didn't encounter the Mingdian contestants, there was a probability of encountering other contestants.

"If you say so, there is indeed such a feeling." Wanyan Xia nodded. She also discovered that Lu Li's actions seemed to have no rules at all. Sometimes he walked here, sometimes he walked there.

Hearing the conversation between Feng Jingtian and Wanyan Xia, Ou Hanxiang and the others also specifically paid attention to it and found that it seemed to be indeed the case.

It was just a pity that they couldn't understand why Lu Li did this. However, the few people like Wen Xiuyuan on the podium had expressions that couldn't help but become strange.

As the Prefects of the four great academies and the judges of this Academy Battle, the five people, Changsun Xuanjing and Wen Xiuyuan, naturally couldn't be unaware of the special nature of the second floor of the Minotaur Labyrinth.

Even, in order to ensure safety and fairness, the five people had already walked a circle inside the labyrinth before the Academy Battle was held. Therefore, everyone knew very well that the space node teleportation on the second floor of the Minotaur Labyrinth was not a place that could be easily passed.

Compared to the first floor of the labyrinth, although the second floor of the labyrinth only had an eight-star Minos knight guarding the entrance to the third floor, just this complex way of moving was much more troublesome than the first floor of the labyrinth.

According to everyone's prediction, it would be enough for the contestants this time to figure out the teleportation rules of these space nodes in one day and successfully reach the entrance from the second floor to the third floor.

But right now, Lu Li's performance broke their conjecture.

358. This woman is really troublesome

"It should be because of the Magic Card Spirit named Glorious beside Lu Li." In the end, it was Xia Lantong who spoke first.

Now only half an hour had passed, but looking at Lu Li's performance, the other party seemed to already know which space nodes to choose to be able to accurately and quickly reach the entrance to the third floor of the labyrinth.

The scene where Glorious released the carrier-based aircraft just now was seen clearly by everyone. It could be said that Glorious relied on the large number of carrier-based aircraft to obtain the positions of the teleportation of each space node in a very short time, and subsequently integrated these materials into a map leading to the finish line.

In this, Glorious's super-speed calculation ability, which far exceeded other Magic Card Spirits, undoubtedly played a very important role.

Without that super-speed calculation ability, even if Glorious dispatched such a large number of carrier-based aircraft, it would be impossible to find the complete route to the third floor entrance so quickly.

As a mechanical type of Magic Card Spirit, there is a very special common problem, which is that once the received data exceeds its own calculation category, it is very likely to cause an overload situation, fall into a downtime state, and the processing ability will be significantly weakened.

But now it seems that Glorious's performance remains the same after receiving such a huge amount of data, which is enough to show that the other party's calculation ability is at a very high level.

As the Southern Territory Yougong Prefect, Xia Lantong had more understanding of mechanical Magic Cards than others: "But to be honest, it is also my first time seeing such a special mechanical Magic Card, and even the other Magic Card Spirits held by Lu Li, I have never had any impression of them."

"Wen Xiuyuan, as a student of the Heaven Academy, you should be relatively clear about this point, right?" As she spoke, Xia Lantong's gaze shifted to Wen Xiuyuan. She was really very interested in Lu Li now, and even couldn't help but suspect whether the other party had ever been to the Instrument Capital.

After all, Glorious's performance was indeed dazzling. If those old guys in the Instrument Capital saw it, they would probably pull Lu Li and not let the other party leave.

But more importantly, not only Glorious, but even Lu Li's other Magic Card Spirits, Xia Lantong had no impression of them. This point was clearly not normal.

No matter what, she was the Southern Territory Yougong Prefect. She wouldn't dare to say she knew all the Magic Cards of the Magic Card civilization, but she was relatively clear and understood the Magic Cards of the four great territories of the Ancient Kingdom.

Even because of Yan Yuexin, she also knew quite a few Magic Cards circulating in the Holy See, which could be called the one with the most complete cognition of Magic Cards among the four Prefects.

But it was under such conditions that she had no impression of the Magic Card Spirits held by Lu Li. This had to make her suspicious.

After all, if it were only one or two Magic Card Spirits, then it could be explained away, but all the Magic Card Spirits were not recognized, which was a bit subtle.

Besides that, there was one more point, which was the performance of the Thunder Dragon Beast evolving into WereGarurumon X, as well as Lu Li's act of brushing the super evolution component S into the Divine Plan, which also attracted Xia Lantong's attention.

This point was somewhat similar to the description and performance of special Magic Cards she had once seen in some ancient books.

"If you say so, it seems it is indeed the case." Hearing Xia Lantong's words, Kou Shan recalled a little and found that he really had no impression of the Magic Card Spirits held by Lu Li.

As for Mu Zhan, although he didn't speak, he also frowned. ===== CHAPTER 190 =====
