Chapter 190

If it were in the past, they would not ignore this point, but this trip was a competition between the four great academies, and their gazes fell more on whether their respective students could achieve the final victory. They subconsciously ignored this point.

"This woman is really troublesome!" Hearing Xia Lantong's words, Wen Xiuyuan couldn't help but mutter in his heart. If there was anyone among the three that Wen Xiuyuan was most unwilling to face, it was this Southern Territory Yougong Prefect Xia Lantong. After all, a woman's intuition was sometimes truly unreasonable.

"I am naturally very clear about Lu Li's situation. After all, he is a student of our Heaven Academy." On the surface, Wen Xiuyuan waved his hand. "Besides, if you have no impression of Lu Li's Magic Cards, then you have no impression. Do you still expect me to tell you one, two, three, four, five?"

"Don't forget, we are now in a state of competition. Why don't you reveal the information of your Yougong's strongest first?" Wen Xiuyuan took a "dead pig is not afraid of boiling water" attitude. Anyway, he would absolutely not reveal the information that Lu Li was an original Magic Card producer.

As long as these people didn't see the strange phenomena caused by Lu Li producing Magic Cards for a day, then there would always be a way to muddle through.

You, Xia Lantong, recognize quite a few Magic Cards, but most of them are within the scope of the Ancient Kingdom and the Holy See. What if they are outside the Ancient Kingdom and the Holy See?

Wen Xiuyuan didn't believe that Xia Lantong could recognize all the Magic Cards of the Magic Card civilization. Don't talk about Xia Lantong; even the Territory Lords of the four great territories and the Hall Masters of the Central Court, Wen Xiuyuan didn't think they could do this.

Of course, there were exceptions, and that was the Supreme. After all, the Supreme's strength was stronger than the Undying Realm, and his vision and cognition were also higher than the Undying Realm.

But there was one more important point, and that was that the relationship between the Night Queen and the Supreme was relatively close. Perhaps it was possible that the Night Queen would mention Lu Li's situation to the Supreme. After all, the Supreme was also an original Magic Card producer, so he naturally knew the content of this.

Seeing Wen Xiuyuan's performance, whether it was Xia Lantong, Kou Shan, or Mu Zhan, their brows couldn't help but jump wildly. This old man's personality was truly wicked.

But what the other party said was also correct. After all, they were in the middle of a competition. If it were them, they would also not reveal the intelligence of their own contestants.

Only, a few people still kept an eye out. Lu Li's performance was indeed a bit unusual.

"Alright, the number of Magic Cards possessed in the Magic Card civilization is so large. Even the Magic Card Encyclopedia produced by our Ancient Kingdom only records the Magic Cards known to our Ancient Kingdom." In the end, it was Changsun Xuanjing who spoke to stop this topic. "Perhaps, what Lu Li produced are Magic Cards outside the Ancient Kingdom, or perhaps they are ancient Magic Cards excavated from some ruins and hidden."

To tell the truth, Changsun Xuanjing also didn't know the specific reason, but involving both the Night Queen and the Supreme, she had to treat it with caution.

And in the heart of this Central Court Star Hall Master, there was also a guess of her own, and that was that Lu Li was very likely an original Magic Card producer! This point also more powerfully verified the Supreme's move!

Thinking of this, even Changsun Xuanjing couldn't help but become excited in her heart, but on the surface, she had to pretend to be as if nothing had happened. After all, the involvement of an original Magic Card producer was truly too great.

"Master, the next teleportation will encounter enemies again." In front of a space teleportation node, Glorious reminded Lu Li.

"Then just deal with it as before." Regarding this, Lu Li didn't have too many thoughts.

Tossing and turning and teleporting so many times, during this period Lu Li also encountered quite a few contestants from the other three great academies. However, these contestants didn't even have time to speak before they were directly taken away by his set of preemptive attacks.

The next moment, the two passed through the space node, and a head of bright red hair reflected in the eyes of Lu Li and Glorious.

359. Farewell! See you again!

"Is it you?" That iconic red hair was truly too dazzling, coupled with the same bright red eyes, Lu Li didn't even need to see the appearance of the contestant who appeared in front of him to know that the person he encountered this time was Yan Yuexin. "It seems we are quite fated."

Of course, he was even more concerned about the title of Red Lotus Holy Maiden. He didn't know if this girl had any self-destructing Magic Card Spirits in her hands.

However, looking closely, Lu Li discovered that Yan Yuexin was indeed very similar to the Red Lotus Holy Maiden in his memory. If she changed her hair color and eye color, Lu Li would have couldn't help but suspect whether Joan of Arc had appeared.

"It's actually you!" Same as Lu Li, seeing the two people who suddenly appeared in front of her, Yan Yuexin was also subconsciously startled. Especially noticing Glorious beside Lu Li, she couldn't help but recall the encounter in the Endless Sea back then.

Although the current Glorious hadn't blackened yet, this aircraft carrier ship girl still left quite a few shadows in Yan Yuexin's heart.

"I didn't expect Lu Li to encounter Yuexin." Xia Lantong couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, murmuring in her heart: "Although it's a bit unexpected, with Yuexin's strength, she should be able to win this battle!"

Although Lu Li's performance in the labyrinth was indeed not bad, Yan Yuexin was not bad either. Not to mention that the other party also had the nine-star Magic Card successfully produced some time ago. If Lu Li didn't possess a Magic Card of equal strength, he really wouldn't be Yan Yuexin's opponent.

Yan Yuexin was a direct descendant of the Southern Territory Lord, and her identity and strength were not something that ordinary Magic Card Masters could compare to. 107 However, this thought of Xia Lantong had just emerged when Yan Yuexin made a move that surprised everyone.

"Farewell!" As the words fell, Yan Yuexin dove into the spatial node behind her and teleported away; it was the same node she had used to teleport here just moments ago.

"What's the situation!" Seeing Yan Yuexin run away without saying a word, Lu Li was puzzled. Subsequently, he couldn't help but look at Glorious, revealing a sudden realization expression. "I see. It's probably because the impression you left on the other party last time was too deep."

Besides this, Lu Li really couldn't think of any other reason that could make Yan Yuexin run away immediately without even saying another word.

"Commander, speaking ill of a lady is not something a gentleman should do!" Hearing Lu Li's words, a hint of unnatural blush flashed on Glorious's face, because what the other party said was likely true.

Only, this also made Glorious recall her "shameful" side back then again. Even with her gentle temperament, she couldn't help but feel her face burning.

"But I'm not a gentleman either." Shrugging, Lu Li didn't continue to tease the other party after seeing the blush that kept spreading on Glorious's face, nor did he have the idea of chasing after Yan Yuexin, but continued to set off toward the entrance to the third floor of the labyrinth under Glorious's leadership.

"The most important thing now is to find the entrance to the third floor. It's not wise to spend too much time here with the other party." Yan Yuexin, who teleported away through several space nodes in succession, stopped after seeing that there was no sign of Lu Li and Glorious following her.

Although she had confidence in her strength, having witnessed Glorious easily abusing the Kraken in the Endless Sea, Yan Yuexin still didn't intend to fight Lu Li here. The situation on the second floor of the labyrinth was different from the first floor.

And the condition for winning the Academy Battle was to see who could finally bring the quest item of the third floor out of the labyrinth. She really didn't need to fight Lu Li here.

"Hmm! I'm just making a strategic retreat!" Muttering to herself, Yan Yuexin found a reason for her move and then plunged into another space node.

Strategic retreat, my foot!

Inside the ruins, hearing Yan Yuexin's low mutter, everyone's faces couldn't help but become subtle.

Especially the contestants of the Southern Territory's Yougong, they couldn't help but suspect whether their Red Lotus Holy Maiden had been dropped. It was truly because Yan Yuexin's performance just now was very different from the impression they had of the girl on weekdays.

As for Lan Xiatong, she was now almost jumped by Yan Yuexin's move. She had just been thinking that the other party could eliminate Lu Li, but she didn't expect Yan Yuexin to not even fight, and run away in the blink of an eye.

Didn't this equate to admitting that she was not Lu Li's opponent? Even with the life experience of this Yougong Prefect over the years, she was so angry that she couldn't help but take a few deep breaths to calm down.

Thinking of the performance when the two met, Lan Xiatong became suspicious. Could it be that Yan Yuexin and Lu Li had already met before leaving? And Yan Yuexin even knew Lu Li's strength, knowing that she couldn't securely take down the other party, so she chose to leave?

If this were really the case, wouldn't it mean that Lu Li also possessed a nine-star Magic Card?

One had to know that Yan Yuexin successfully produced a nine-star Magic Card before the start of the four great academies' competition. If it weren't for the dual BUFF blessing of being the great-granddaughter of the Southern Territory Lord and a Holy Maiden candidate of the Flame Spirit Sect, it really wouldn't be certain that someone else could do this!

Meng Ningdie, who had the support of the Night Queen back then, was only so-so. And in the entire Yougong, only she knew about this, and she didn't spread it, just to give the other three great academies a small surprise and shock.

Besides this, Lan Xiatong really couldn't think of a more reasonable explanation. After all, based on her understanding of Yan Yuexin and the girl's performance in the Academy Battle, she didn't look like someone who would run away without fighting.

Thinking of this, even the temperament of this Yougong Prefect couldn't help but gasp. No wonder she always felt that Wen Xiuyuan had an inexplicable trust in Lu Li. It turns out this is the biggest bomb!

Thinking of this, Xia Lantong couldn't help but look at Wen Xiuyuan. This guy hides deep enough.

"Yo! This Red Lotus Holy Maiden of your Yougong has quite a personality." Unfortunately, one sentence from Wen Xiuyuan directly broke Lan Xiatong's defense.

If it weren't for the fact that the current situation was inappropriate, Lan Xiatong absolutely wouldn't mind throwing a shuttle of Magic Cards at Wen Xiuyuan's face.

"I say, is Junior Brother Lu Li that scary?" Also seeing this scene, Ou Hanxiang was puzzled. She knew too little about Lu Li.

But no matter what, it wouldn't be to the point of running away upon meeting, right? Could it be that the intelligence she obtained about Yan Yuexin back then was fake?

"Uh, how should I put it?" Looking at the puzzled Ou Hanxiang, the expressions of Feng Jingtian and the others became very subtle. "To tell the truth, Lu Li is quite scary."

As they spoke, the few people simply told a few major events that Lu Li had caused after enrolling.

"Damn!" Even with Ou Hanxiang's temperament, she couldn't help but burst out a swear word. This is something a freshman can do?

For this exchange tournament between the four great academies, she and Dai Lingyang had been deaf to things outside the window during this period, focusing only on closed-door cultivation, so they didn't know that Lu Li had caused so many major events.

Not only Ou Hanxiang, but the mentors of the other three great academies standing not far away, as well as the eliminated contestants, were also dumbfounded.

Good guy, promoting to King in half a year was already outrageous enough. It turns out that in this half year, Lu Li also caused so many major events.

At this moment, the contestants of the other three great academies were slightly fortunate that Lu Li was not their student. Otherwise, would their academy not have to experience a wave of chaos?

But very quickly, everyone's expression became very subtle,

The luck of this Red Lotus Saintess is truly subtle...

360. Third Floor of the Labyrinth · Special Card

"A contestant from the Yougong this time? I have some impression of you; not only are you the great-granddaughter of the Southern Region Lord, but also a candidate for Saintess of the Flame Spirit Sect. I just don't know how your strength measures up." Ku Zimo gazed at Yan Yuexin before him, his cold expression unchanging. The giant ice-snow python behind him had already begun to radiate a bone-chilling cold, freezing this patch of space.

Clearly, Ku Zimo had no intention of letting Yan Yuexin go; he had even directly sealed off her retreat.

"It seems this battle cannot be avoided." Having also researched intelligence on Ku Zimo, Yan Yuexin did not hesitate, raising her hand to flick out her Magic Card.

The next moment, the frozen space suddenly grew warm, transforming from an ice-snow world into a holy land of blazing sun in just a few seconds~.

The cry of a unicorn approached from afar, and then a Holy Knight riding a unicorn emerged from the flames, holding a long spear emitting ultra-high-temperature blue flames aimed at the giant ice-snow python.

Her hair, smooth as the ocean, her beautiful face carrying a hint of heroic spirit, her explosive golden figure, and the aura filling the entire space—which was not at all weaker than the giant ice-snow python—all indicated that this Holy Knight's strength was by no means ordinary.

Holy Beast Knight Angelica! This was the nine-star rare-grade Magic Card Spirit that Yan Yuexin had successfully crafted before the Academy Battle!

There was no need for words; the auras of the two nine-star Magic Card Spirits merely collided slightly before they began to fight. The entire space was filled with exploding ice crystals and burning flame flowers.

Seeing this scene, those who had previously doubted Yan Yuexin's strength shut their mouths, but this only left them even more puzzled.

That is, since you also possess a nine-star Magic Card and can trade blows with Ku Zimo, why did you run away without saying a word when you bumped into Lu Li just now, hey!

Unfortunately, Yan Yuexin was unaware of these people's thoughts. Her attention was currently focused on the battle with Ku Zimo, and as time passed, the young lady's expression became increasingly grave.

Although she had the halo of multiple identities, Ku Zimo also had the cultivation of the Northern Frontier, and his talent was second only to her own; he even had a year more of experience than her, which further narrowed the gap between them.

"Indeed a decent opponent, but you should still be eliminated." Ku Zimo spoke suddenly. A third aura, not inferior to the other two, suddenly appeared on the battlefield. The Ice Emperor Scorpion joined the fray, and the Holy Beast Knight Angelica, who had been evenly matched with the giant ice-snow python, began to struggle.

"Dual nine-star Magic Cards—it's simply too unsolvable." Seeing this, Ou Hanxiang and Xu Zhiyun both had a strong sense of déjà vu; after all, they had just been eliminated by Ku Zimo in exactly this way.

Unless Yan Yuexin possessed a second nine-star Magic Card, her ending would not be any better.

Unfortunately, even with the buff of her dual identity, crafting one nine-star Magic Card was already her limit. Even if she summoned other Magic Card Spirits to join the battlefield, she was still swept away and eliminated by the combination of the giant ice-snow python and the Ice Emperor Scorpion.

"I didn't expect to be eliminated after all, sigh." The labyrinth marker activated, and Yan Yuexin was teleported back to the ruins. Recalling the scene just now, her heart was filled with lingering unwillingness.

If she were in the same cohort as Ku Zimo, perhaps the result of this battle would be uncertain.

But soon, Yan Yuexin saw many people looking at her with strange expressions, and combined with the light screen playing the battle situation in real-time, Yan Yuexin understood instantly.
