Chapter 91
It was just that, after noticing the constrained gazes of Lu Li and Shangguan Wan'er toward herself, Liu Yanran immediately reacted.
She and these two people in front of her were also students recruited by the Heavenly Mansion. Even from various meanings, their strength and talent were a bit stronger than her own. She was the bottom of the three.
0................
In front of Lu Li and Shangguan Wan'er, she didn't have anything to be proud of.
With a "wow" sound, Liu Yanran turned around and squatted on the ground to draw circles. This was too hitting, and too shameful.
"Is this girl originally so dramatic?" Looking at Liu Yanran squatting on the ground drawing circles, Lu Li gave Shangguan Wan'er a look.
It must be said that the more he contacted Liu Yanran, the more he deviated from the initial impression the other party gave him. However, they are all young people, and Liu Yanran's performance is also easy to understand.
"Were you fooled?" Shangguan Wan'er returned a look to Lu Li. If you really want to talk about it, actually using "repressed" to describe Liu Yanran's personality would be more appropriate.
"The intensity of the trial is harder than the college entrance examination is just one aspect," Shangguan Wan'er explained, taking over the words Liu Yanran didn't finish: "The most troublesome part of the Trial Road is that the rules and content are different every time. The combat power of a Magic Card Master is only one of the tests. The Trial Road is more inclined to test the adaptability of Magic Card Masters."
"Is that so?" Hearing this, Lu Li revealed a thoughtful expression. It seems that this Trial Road is not as simple as he imagined.
However, whatever. If they really fight, he will directly connect to the Eternal Sun, and then let Angewomon give Guilmon a Light Arrow. Even if it is only a short-term incomplete evolution method like transition evolution to evolve into a Mega form, Lu Li is confident that he can blast through this Trial Road!
171. I believe you, big-headed monster!
"Mansion Lord, there have been quite a few freshmen arriving outside the Trial Square one after another, including freshmen from the other three major regions and the Dragon Valley who have basically arrived," Eastern Region Heavenly Mansion, Jantai Mingyue held a report and reported to Wen Xiuyuan: "The Trial Road is also about to open."
For every session of the Trial Road, the Heavenly Mansion will arrange several mentors to be responsible. This is an assessment for the mentors of the Heavenly Mansion, and Jantai Mingyue is the main person in charge of this session of the Trial Road.
Of course, this is also an opportunity for the arranged mentors. After all, they come into contact with and observe the incoming freshmen earlier than other mentors, and can also confirm their goals earlier.
The competition in the Heavenly Mansion is far more intense than the outside world. This kind of competition is not only among students but also among mentors. Every year, the Heavenly Mansion will assess the mentors, and the performance of the assessment is reflected in the students.
Therefore, being able to grab good freshmen is undoubtedly more favorable for these mentors in the subsequent assessment.
This is also the reason why Jantai Mingyue agreed so readily when Shangguan Pu came to the door.
On one hand, it was to sell a favor to the Shangguan family, but more importantly, she had seen Shangguan Wan'er's information. The other party's talent was indeed good, especially in the field of plant Magic Card production that she specialized in, which was simply professional matching.
It's just that there is also a gap between mentors and mentors. Meng Fei Meng Ningdie is the most obvious example. The Heavenly Mansion's assessment directly excluded the other party, and no one thought of wanting to assess Meng Ningdie.
The other party stands behind the Night Queen, and the Night Queen is their immediate superior. Having this point is enough. Who needs to assess? This also made all the mentors envious.
"Is it time?" Hearing Jantai Mingyue's report, Wen Xiuyuan raised his head, with a meaningful depth on his face, saying words that surprised Jantai Mingyue: "When the Trial Road opens, I will also be there."
"Mansion Lord, you are also going to be there?" Jantai Mingyue was stunned. This kind of situation is extremely rare. After all, the essence of the Trial Road is the pecking of freshmen. Even if they are the top candidates of the session, there is actually nothing too good to watch.
If Jantai Mingyue remembers correctly, tracing back to the previous Trial Roads, the last time Wen Xiuyuan was present was already nearly ten years ago.
However, that time, not only Wen Xiuyuan, but almost all the mentors of the Heavenly Mansion were present. After all, among the candidates participating in the Trial Road that session, there was Meng Ningdie, the student of the Night Queen.
"It's just a whim, and maybe there will be other guests arriving by then," waving his hand, Wen Xiuyuan did not give too much explanation. Regarding Lu Li, he did not intend to tell anyone after talking with Meng Ningdie, Shangguan Hong, and Cang Ao: "You do what you should do, and don't care about me."
Although Wen Xiuyuan did not intend to tell anyone about Lu Li, this did not prevent him from meeting this new student of the Night Queen in advance, and it just so happened that he could see the other party's performance on the Trial Road.
To be honest, Wen Xiuyuan is also very interested in original Magic Cards, or rather, every Magic Card Master is very interested in original Magic Cards.
I believe you, big-headed monster, very bad! Unfortunately, Jantai Mingyue didn't believe Wen Xiuyuan's statement at all.
Having worked under the other party for so many years, Jantai Mingyue knew very well that Wen Xiuyuan would never have a whim for no reason. There must be something tricky in this.
Quickly scanning the list of freshmen in this session, Jantai Mingyue still didn't see where the problem was.
As for the guests in the other party's mouth, Jantai Mingyue had probably already guessed who it was. After all, among the students recruited by the Heavenly Mansion in this session, there were freshmen from the Dragon Valley.
……
"It seems that the time we arrived is not too late." The figures of Lu Li, Shangguan Wan'er, and Liu Yanran appeared, looking at the freshmen walking back and forth from time to time, each with a trace of excitement and movement on their faces.
This is the Trial Square, a transit station for participating in the Trial Road, which is a place specially opened by the Heavenly Mansion for all freshmen to gather. As for the Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Lu Li had already taken it back before entering this Trial Square.
Judging from so many experiences, the appearance of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon would definitely cause quite a sensation. Lu Li didn't intend to be surrounded and watched like a monkey.
Noticing the appearance of the three Lu Li, many freshmen just glanced at them and ignored them, but there were also more freshmen who felt their eyes light up. After all, the appearance of Shangguan Wan'er and Liu Yanran, among the Magic Card Master group full of handsome men and beautiful women, were both top-level.
Of course, there were also freshmen who secretly envied Lu Li walking between the two girls. They were also freshmen, why did the other party live so freely, while they were alone? For a time, many freshmen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"You are here too?" While the three were looking around, Meng Chuyun and Su Xueyi also walked out from some corner and came to the front of the three.
"Damn, what's the situation? Two more beauties? This man is too lucky! Is he not afraid of a Shurafield?" With the arrival of Meng Chuyun and Su Xueyi, Lu Li's team expanded to five people, and there were four beauties whose appearance reached the top level. This time, even the freshmen who were not very interested couldn't help but look twice.
"Just arrived," looking at Meng Chuyun and Su Xueyi, Lu Li was slightly surprised. How did these two walk together: "Did you arrive very early?"
The college entrance examination had passed for a period of time, and Su Xueyi was still cold and clear, but Lu Li and the others were not surprised.
"A bit earlier than you. I was just thinking about when you would arrive." Compared to Su Xueyi's coldness, Meng Chuyun was easier to communicate with, but the next second she revealed her true colors: "Lu Li, this time on the Trial Road, I want to compete with you again. This time I will definitely not lose to you!" ===== CHAPTER 92 =====
The college entrance examination had passed for some time, and Su Xueyi still had a cold and detached expression, but Lu Li and the others were already used to it.
"A bit earlier than you guys, I was just wondering when you would arrive." Compared to Su Xueyi's coldness, Meng Chuyun was easier to communicate with, but the next second she revealed her true colors: "Lu Li, I want to compete with you again on this Path of Trials. This time I will definitely not lose to you!"
172. Dragon Valley, Dragon Girl Sister-Flower!
In her words, Meng Chuyun's voice was full of fighting spirit.
It's just a pity that hearing Meng Chuyun's words, Shangguan Wan'er and Liu Yanran both couldn't help but want to cover their faces, as if seeing their former selves.
Especially since the two girls now knew that Lu Li held at least three seven-star Magic Cards, and heaven knows if this freak still had any hidden trump cards.
For a moment, the two girls couldn't help but reveal a trace of sympathy in their eyes as they looked at Meng Chuyun, which made Meng Chuyun very puzzled, and even gave her an inexplicable feeling.
"Look, it's the freshmen from outside the region!" Just as Meng Chuyun was about to ask, a commotion came from not far away.
Freshmen from outside the region? Freshmen from the other three major regions besides the Eastern Region?
Lu Li and the others were also attracted by this exclamation. Seeing that Lu Li seemed interested in this, Liu Yanran introduced: "The four major academies have one thing in common in their recruitment, which is that they don't just recruit Magic Card Master freshmen from their own region, or even their own country."
"For example, the Heavenly Mansion, although the candidates recruited each year are mainly from the Eastern Region, they also receive freshmen from the other three major regions, and even freshmen from outside the ancient kingdom."
"Is that so?" Hearing Liu Yanran's explanation, Lu Li nodded knowingly. Universities in his previous life also had similar policies, which was easy to understand.
"Although the competition between the four major academies has never stopped, in terms of cultivating Magic Card Masters, the four major academies have never refused any candidate who passed the college entrance examination," Meng Chuyun took over the conversation, her eyes scanning the newly appeared teams, a trace of astonishment flashing in her eyes: "Eh? That attire, it seems to be from Dragon Valley."
"I didn't expect that Dragon Valley would also arrange for freshmen to come to the Heavenly Mansion this year." The Magic Card Masters who caused the commotion were only about a hundred people, but the proportion had already exceeded ten percent of the freshmen recruited by the Heavenly Mansion this year. After all, the upper limit of freshmen recruited by the Heavenly Mansion each year was one thousand, which had never changed.
These hundred or so people belonged to different camps. Looking at their attire and behavior, they were basically gathered together according to their respective camps.
Among them, the most special ones were a pair of sister-flowers who were dressed very specially and whose appearances were almost identical. And this pair of sister-flowers were the Magic Card Master freshmen from Dragon Valley that Meng Chuyun mentioned!
The two girls wore violet-colored long dresses with hibiscus patterns, with trailing hems and tight waists. The elegant orchids embroidered on the cuffs set off their slender fingers, and their pink lips had a crystalline color, lightly curved into a very beautiful arc. On their jade-like earlobes, they wore light blue tassels, which were light and could dance slowly with a little wind.
The light-colored gauze skirt was trimmed with silver silk, and a water-lily-colored gauze ribbon was tied around their waists!
But compared to the two girls' appearance and clothing, their identity was what made everyone present care more.
Dragon Valley!
Although they were not as large as the ancient kingdom in terms of territory and population, and not even as large as many countries, Dragon Valley's overall strength was very outrageous. Even a country as strong as the ancient kingdom dared not underestimate Dragon Valley.
The current era possesses three Supreme Realm Magic Card Masters, and these three Supreme Realm Magic Card Masters belong to different countries. These three countries are also the most powerful countries in the current era of Magic Card civilization.
And the one whose strength is second only to the three major super countries like the ancient kingdom is Dragon Valley. Compared to Dragon Valley, other countries are still a bit worse.
Dragon Valley possesses as many as nine Undying Realm Magic Card Masters, also known as the Nine Great Dragon Lords! It is precisely because the number of Undying Realm experts they possess is so terrifying that Dragon Valley deservedly becomes a transcendent force below the three major top-tier countries.
"Regarding this, I heard my father mention it," compared to the others, Shangguan Wan'er was not too surprised by the appearance of the two dragon girls: "It seems that in order to hone the younger generation, Dragon Valley reached an agreement with the ancient kingdom, and each of the four major academies recruited two Magic Card Masters from Dragon Valley."
"If I'm not mistaken, they are the sisters Hearing Zi Yan and Ziyao from Dragon Valley." For the sake of Shangguan Wan'er's affairs, Shangguan Pu once found Zhan Tai Mingyue, and this news was something Zhan Tai Mingyue mentioned briefly back then.
Hearing Shangguan Wan'er's explanation, everyone couldn't help but marvel. After all, Magic Card Masters from Dragon Valley were indeed quite rare.
"It is rumored that Magic Card Masters from Dragon Valley almost only make dragon-type Magic Card spirits. In their card deck system, non-dragon-type Magic Cards rarely appear. If this rumor is true, then these two should also have many dragon-type Magic Cards in their hands," Lu Li looked at the sister-flowers from Dragon Valley and thought silently in his heart: "I just don't know whose dragon-type Magic Cards are stronger compared to the Red-Eyes Black Dragon and the projection of Timaeus."
Dragon species already stand at the pinnacle of all races, and their strength is powerful enough. With one force overcoming ten meetings, there is naturally no need to make other non-dragon-type Magic Cards.
This point is also the path of cultivation that Dragon Valley has always adhered to.
Seeming to sense Lu Li's gaze, the two dragon girls, Hearing Zi Yan and Ziyao, also turned their heads to look at the small team where Lu Li and the others were, light flickering in their silver vertical pupils, which were different from ordinary people.
The next moment, the two girls looked at each other, and then, under the surprised gazes of the people around them, walked toward the direction of Lu Li and the others.
"Damn! Why is it that direction again? Is that direction poisonous?" Like Meng Chuyun, many people also saw that the two girls were from Dragon Valley, but the other party's current actions did not prevent them from exclaiming again.
Not only the onlookers around, but even Lu Li, Shangguan Wan'er, and the others could see that the other party seemed to be coming for them.
"Does anyone of you know them?" Lu Li couldn't help but ask. It couldn't be that they walked over because they heard their discussion just now, right?
If that were really the case, then the hearing of these two dragon girls would be outrageous, and it wasn't just them who were discussing it just now. However, what Lu Li got was Shangguan Wan'er shaking her head, and the other girls were the same.
"Then maybe their target isn't us." As the words fell, the sister-flowers from Dragon Valley stood prettily in front of Lu Li, which left Shangguan Wan'er and the other four girls with black lines on their heads. It turns out they were looking for you.
However, their curiosity was also aroused. Could this Lu Li be some big BOSS hidden behind the scenes? How come everywhere he goes, it's like someone knows him?!
"Uh, something up?" Sensing the resentful gazes coming from all around, especially the expressions of the four girls behind him who looked like curious babies, even Lu Li couldn't help but have a headache. He had just said that the other party wasn't looking for them, and the next second he was slapped in the face. It was really hard to handle.
More importantly, Lu Li really didn't know the intention of the two girls in front of him.
173. I was almost scared to death by you! The trial begins!
"You have an aura on you that makes us feel familiar," the sisters spoke at the same time, and neither their tone nor their manner of speaking had any difference, as if only one person was talking.
As the words fell, whether it was the older sister Hearing Zi Yan or the younger sister Ziyao, their vertical pupils revealed confusion. This was the first time the two sisters had felt a familiar aura on a Magic Card Master other than their own clansmen.
Not only on Lu Li, but even on Shangguan Wan'er and Liu Yanran, there was an aura that made them feel familiar. It's just that compared to Lu Li, the aura on Shangguan Wan'er and the other girl was much fainter, almost negligible.
