Myth Card Supplier: Nezha the Third Prince

Chapter 275: [Seventy-Two Transformations - Divine Tracing]! Opening Bets?

The twenty-five into thirteen matches proceeded smoothly, and soon the thirteen advancing individuals emerged.

Except for Jiang Yuan, the others were all renowned geniuses from various academies.

They were basically the top-ranked players in their respective academies.

For example, from Central Plains Academy, there was Li Chengyi, ranked first, Ai Xiu, ranked second, Ye Jinhuan, ranked seventh, and Jiang Yuan, who was temporarily unranked.

Advancing from Great Xia Academy were Shi Zhuan, ranked first, and Tu Wenbing, ranked second.

As the champion academy from the previous year, Great Xia Academy had the fewest people advancing to the top thirteen this time.

However, one could understand from Shi Zhuan's occasional glances at Jiang Yuan that he had eliminated quite a few in the "Treasure Battle."

But this time, the three from their academy who advanced were the strongest, so they still had a chance to compete for the final championship.

Following them were Wei Qiyou, ranked first, Bai Fusi, ranked second, and Li Fawei, ranked sixth, from Northern Mang Academy.

It is worth mentioning that Li Fawei advanced through a bye in this round of twenty-five into thirteen.

Finally, there was Martial Arts Academy.

Huang Huanqing, ranked first, Qi Baoxiang, ranked third, Bei Lean, ranked seventh, and Zhan Youqing, ranked ninth.

Martial Arts Academy and Central Plains Academy had the most people advancing.

However, if one looked at the rankings of the advancing players in their respective academies, Martial Arts Academy and Central Plains Academy did not have much of an advantage.

After all, the first and second-ranked players from Northern Mang Academy and Great Xia Academy had all advanced.

Although the first and second-ranked players from Central Plains Academy had also advanced, they had Jiang Yuan, a player with no ranking, dragging them down.

Even so, no one underestimated Jiang Yuan.

After all, Jiang Yuan's three arrows were truly terrifying.

The most terrifying thing was that the judgment conditions for those three arrows were still unknown.

If they could know the judgment conditions, there would be a way to resist them.

However, everyone was very confident that as long as there was another battle, they could determine the judgment conditions for Jiang Yuan's three arrows!

"This competition system, ah, it would be better to change it."

Looking at the thirteen into eight matches that were about to begin, Miao Xinghuo couldn't help but complain.

In the thirteen into eight matches, one person would first receive a bye.

Then, the twelve people would compete in six rounds of one-on-one matches.

The six rounds of matches would determine the six people who would advance, plus the player who received the bye, for a total of seven people.

And the last person in the top eight would be decided by a resurrection match between the six who were just eliminated.

The last remaining person would then be added to the top eight.

However, it was also quite troublesome to decide the strongest person out of six people.

After all, after one round, there would be three left...

Another bye, and then the winner would compete against the player who received the bye.

Really...

"Luck is also a form of strength, ah."

Jin Lingyu smiled and said, "Your academy will host the next competition; you can also change the rules."

"Yes, for example, from deciding the final two hundred to deciding the final two hundred and fifty-six."

Guan Chutian also said with a smile, "In that case, there would be no extra people in the final one-on-one arena battle, and there would naturally be no byes."

"That's a good choice; you can try it when your academy hosts it."

Miao Xinghuo smiled slightly and did not respond.

After all, this kind of thing was completely thankless, and for someone who wasn't that diligent, it was better to avoid trouble.

"Alright, go on stage and draw lots."

Guan Chutian was about to say something more, but she was directly interrupted by Jin Lingyu.

From this round of thirteen into eight onwards, the four vice-principals would need to go on stage to draw lots to decide who would fight whom.

After all, this would be fairer, unlike machines, which could easily be suspected of being rigged.

After the four vice-principals went on stage, a black box had already appeared on the stage.

Inside the box were the names of the thirteen players.

Two vice-principals would draw at the same time, drawing two names one after the other; these two players would be in a group to compete.

This process would continue, and the last ball that was not drawn would be the bye.

As the host of this year's Four Academy Joint Examination, Vice-Principal Jin Lingyu of Central Plains Academy was the first to go on stage, draw a small ball, and display it in front of the camera.

[As expected of the Vice-Principal of Central Plains Academy, the first one drawn was Li Chengyi!]

[Ranked first in Central Plains Academy, I wonder who will be lucky enough to be his opponent.]

[No infighting, no infighting, no infighting!]

[Infighting! Infighting! Infighting!]

The viewers in the live broadcast room were also very excited to see this scene.

As viewers, they naturally had their own academies that they supported and liked.

Everyone wanted their supported or liked academy to win this Four Academy Joint Examination.

However, they were disappointed; Guan Chutian was the second to step forward, and the small ball she took out had Bei Lean's name on it.

Ranked seventh in Martial Arts Academy, not weak, but not considered too strong among these thirteen people.

If judged by paper strength, he was only slightly stronger than Jiang Yuan.

Of course, if judged by paper strength, Jiang Yuan was undoubtedly the weakest.

However, Jiang Yuan's attention was not on the drawing of lots on the stage at this time.

"What are you looking for?"

Looking at Jiang Yuan taking out a backpack card and constantly searching through it, Ai Xiu, who was next to him, also asked Jiang Yuan with some curiosity.

"I remember I made a card that could see inside the box, but I can't seem to find it; it should be in this backpack card."

Jiang Yuan was a little puzzled; sometimes, having too many backpack cards was not a good thing.

After today's competition, he would have to go back and tidy up the backpack cards.

He would sort the various effect cards into different categories.

For example, the Thirty-Six Transformations and Seventy-Two Transformations series of cards would be placed in two different backpack cards.

Of course, these were one-time skill cards that could be sold.

The cards he used himself would naturally be placed in a separate backpack card.

So, it was during the time he was making the Seventy-Two Transformations series of cards a while ago that, because he was making cards every day, he was even thinking about what materials to use to make the card while sleeping.

Not only was he dizzy every day, but he was also muddled, and he didn't even know how many days had passed; he hadn't gone out of the house every day.

So, it was normal to mix up the cards sometimes.

"Hmm? What card can see through that box?"

Hearing Jiang Yuan say this, Ai Xiu and Li Chengyi next to him also became interested and leaned towards Jiang Yuan, watching his movements.

"Found it!"

Just as the two were curious, Jiang Yuan suddenly took out a card from the backpack card.

"Fortunately, I thought of this card today; otherwise, it would have been sent out."

Jiang Yuan was a little relieved; he didn't expect to find it in the customized card backpack card that he was preparing to send to Qin Boyuan in Zhenhai City.

Fortunately, he had a slight impression; otherwise, he would have really sent it out.

"What is this card?"

Looking at the two heads that had leaned over out of curiosity, Jiang Yuan activated the purple-quality card in his hand and said to the two.

"Seventy-Two Transformations series, Divine Tracing!"

"The effect is to increase the probability of guessing an item in a certain space."

After Jiang Yuan used this card, he also looked at the stage.

At this time, the second round of drawing was being conducted by Yu Chengtian and Miao Xinghuo.

Jiang Yuan looked at the ball that Miao Xinghuo's hand had reached into the box for, and he also had a faint feeling in his heart.

"It seems, it's me?"

Jiang Yuan was using this skill card for the first time, so he said with some uncertainty.

However, soon, Miao Xinghuo pointed the ball in his hand at the camera.

"Central Plains Academy, Jiang Yuan."

"It really is you?"

Ai Xiu was a little surprised, and then quickly signaled Jiang Yuan to guess the next one.

After Miao Xinghuo took out a small ball, Yu Chengtian next to him also reached into the box.

"It seems, it's her?"

Although Jiang Yuan had some confidence the second time, he still looked uncertainly at a girl next to him.

The girl was Zhan Youqing, ranked ninth in Martial Arts Academy.

"Martial Arts Academy, Zhan Youqing."

Yu Chengtian couldn't help but turn dark when he saw the name on the small ball in his hand.

If it were other people, he would applaud, after all, the judgment effect of Jiang Yuan's bow and arrow was still unclear, and someone going up to test it again would almost understand it.

But if this person was from their academy, then it wouldn't be good.

However, this may be luck, and he can only hope that the student in his academy can block Jiang Yuan.

"Damn, awesome!"

Ai Xiu was also excited to see this scene: "How did you do it?"

"A feeling in the dark, I guess."

Jiang Yuan sighed slightly and put the dimmed card back into his consciousness space.

The duration was only ten seconds, and he could only "see" the items in the blocked space.

It's a little useful, but it doesn't seem to be used much.

"A feeling in the dark?"

Li Chengyi was a little strange, but he didn't say much.

How should I put it, this skill effect really doesn't seem to be of much use.

[I feel like Jiang Yuan is in danger this time.]

[Zhan Youqing is not easy to deal with, compared to the previous few people.]

[If his few pieces are what we judged, then Zhan Youqing is indeed not easy to deal with.]

[I still want to see Jiang Yuan win the championship; I don't know if there is a chance (doge)]

[Who?]

[If Jiang Yuan wins the championship, I will directly lick from Great Xia Academy to Central Plains Academy!]

[If Jiang Yuan wins the championship, I will make a comeback and reopen the fish pond!]

[Jiang Yuan winning the championship is another matter; can the person upstairs teach me the skills to open a fish pond?]

[This depends on talent; ugly people should not humiliate themselves.]

[……]

[………]

[You, me, you, I!]

There were only thirteen players in total, and the drawing of lots on the stage ended quickly.

The order of battles was determined according to the order of the draw.

The first match was Li Chengyi against Bei Lean.

The second match was Jiang Yuan against Zhan Youqing.

The third match was Shi Zhuan against Li Fawei.

The fourth match was Wei Qiyou against Qi Baoxiang.

The fifth match was Huang Huanqing against Bai Fusi.

The sixth match was Tu Wenbing against Ai Xiu.

The bye was Ye Jinhuan from Central Plains Academy.

"It seems our luck is not bad; at least we didn't draw an internal battle."

After the four vice-principals finished drawing lots, they returned to their seats and began to watch the next battle.

"Indeed, the luck is quite good, but Bai Fusi, ranked second in your academy, is going to be sad."

Yu Chengtian touched his bald head and smiled, saying to Miao Xinghuo.

Miao Xinghuo's face, which was still full of smiles, suddenly turned dark: "Beast Tamer Card Masters should be like Support Card Masters, not participating in arena battles!"

"Hahaha!"

The three laughed, but Miao Xinghuo didn't care: "This kind of bullying is too rogue!"

"Professional characteristics, ah; if you are not happy, you can also change your profession now."

"Change profession?"

Miao Xinghuo glanced at Guan Chutian with disdain: "What are you kidding about? If I were to change profession, wouldn't all my previous efforts and resources be wasted?"

"Then who told you not to choose the Beast Tamer Card Master profession at the beginning."

Yu Chengtian was also amused, touching his bald head and smiling at Miao Xinghuo.

"I was poor at the beginning; if I had chosen this profession, I might not have survived until now."

"Alright, alright, stop arguing; honestly watch the battle."

Seeing that Miao Xinghuo and Yu Chengtian were getting more and more heated, Guan Chutian had to stand up and stop the two.

"It's okay; you guys continue to talk; there is nothing to see in this match."

Jin Lingyu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Li Chengyi is destined to win; there is basically no possibility of losing."

Yu Chengtian was slightly silent.

Although he was very upset, what Jin Lingyu said was indeed the truth.

Bei Lean from their academy was also a Skill Card Master.

If he faced other people, he might have a chance to fight.

But facing Li Chengyi, facing this self-proclaimed all-system mage, Bei Lean basically had no chance of winning.

You must know that Skill Card Master generally choose one or two attributes, at most three to four attributes as the main means.

This choice of attributes makes it easier to improve the effect after the sixth realm and to obtain resources.

However, facing Li Chengyi, an all-attribute Skill Card Master, it is a bit insufficient.

Because no matter what attribute skill card you use, it will be countered by the opponent.

In this case, unless your strength is stronger than the opponent, or your combat power is stronger than the opponent.

And obviously, Bei Lean's combat ability is not as strong as Li Chengyi.

Looking at the battle between the two on the field, Yu Chengtian couldn't help but be silent.

And the final result was naturally not beyond everyone's expectations; Li Chengyi won the match and successfully advanced to the top eight.

"It's okay, it's okay; our Martial Arts Academy has more than just him."

Yu Chengtian patted his bald head after seeing Bei Lean being eliminated, comforting himself.

"In the next match, Zhan Youqing will definitely be able to defeat Jiang Yuan from your academy, which can be regarded as avenging Bei Lean."

After Yu Chengtian finished speaking, he looked at Jin Lingyu.

However, Jin Lingyu, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, still had that same smiling expression, making it impossible for everyone to discern his inner thoughts.

"Who do you think will win?"

Seeing Jin Lingyu like this, Yu Chengtian also chuckled mischievously and asked everyone.

"Should we start taking bets?"

If there's enough time later, I'll add an extra chapter today; there's another one coming later.

If there isn't enough time, it might have to wait until the weekend, since I'm not full-time. Thank you for understanding.
