A Flame Bomb was followed by an even larger fireball, which was accompanied by a multitude of small fireballs, all rushing towards Huang Huanqing.
Basically, in the arena, including the location of his own Guardian Beast, everything was covered by these attacks.
Although the effect of "Shadow Duel" meant these attacks wouldn't damage his own Guardian Beast, they could still inflict significant harm on him.
After all, Huang Huanqing was not a Skill Card Master, faced with such an intense Fire Attribute attack, his only choice was to use his Guardian Beast's skills to defend.
"Jiang Yuan, is he also a Skill Card Master?"
Below the arena, Li Chengyi turned stiffly to look at Mu Qianshan beside him and asked in surprise.
"Yes, what's the problem?"
Mu Qianshan seemed puzzled: "You know, after all, he's a patient with muscular dystrophy, with no combat ability of his own, so naturally he would choose to be a Skill Card Master, where he doesn't need to move, only needs to expend spiritual power to fight."
Li Chengyi fell silent.
That argument is so reasonable that I'm at a loss for words.
After all, he himself is a Skill Card Master and of course understands what the fighting style of Skill Cards relies on.
But your grandfather...
Your Nezha and Zhao Gongming, and that black-clothed woman whose name I don't know, all have such high combat power. Your own combat power isn't weak either?
What a joke!
Are you telling me you haven't been going all out against me, the top-ranked fifth-year student at Zhongyuan Academy?
Really...
At this moment, Li Chengyi really wanted to swear, but he didn't know what to swear about. Should he curse Jiang Yuan for being too strong?
"Why haven't we seen him use this ability before?" Looking at the silent Li Chengyi, Ye Jinhuan beside him also asked with some curiosity.
"Of course, because his previous opponents were all dealt with by Nezha and Zhao Gongming."
Ye Jinhuan, seeing Mu Qianshan's confident look, finally understood why Li Chengyi was silent.
Well, as long as you're happy...
Ye Jinhuan paused for a moment, then turned his head back to continue watching the fight in the arena.
Mu Qianshan scratched his head, feeling that these two seemed a bit strange.
However, Mu Qianshan didn't say much, and also looked up at the arena.
Seeing Jiang Yuan display the combat style of a Skill Card Master, not only Li Chengyi, Ye Jinhuan, and the opponents who had been defeated by Jiang Yuan before, but even the old principal turned his head in surprise to look at Li Yueying.
"His own combat ability is not weak?"
"Of course not, although he lacks talent in martial arts due to muscular dystrophy, it doesn't affect him as a Skill Card Master."
Li Yueying spread her hands: "He also told me, after all, he's on his own and doesn't have money to sustain the combat style of a Skill Card Master, so he chose to create his own cards, embarking on this new path."
"This..."
The old principal also fell silent, not knowing what to say.
Could it be that the world should thank Jiang Yuan for not having money?
After all, if Jiang Yuan did have money, he might have simply gone down the path of a Skill Card Master instead of creating this new one.
"Then why haven't we seen him use this fighting style before?"
"He didn't need it before."
Li Yueying, propping her chin, nodded nonchalantly, looking at the arena: "In previous battles, Nezha, Zhao Gongming, and Shi Ji were enough. Jiang Yuan didn't need to add that negligible amount of damage."
"Another thing, not letting him use the Skill Card fighting style is also something I've told him."
"Are you worried?"
The old principal nodded, seeming to understand Li Yueying's thoughts.
"Yes, until his Realm reaches the Sixth Realm and before his body is reconstructed, he'd better use Summoning Cards to fight. Only in this way, when the time comes for his body to be reconstructed and his traits to awaken, they won't veer towards being a Skill Card Master."
"If his traits really do veer towards becoming a Skill Card Master, it's going to be a very troublesome matter to rectify."
Li Yueying shook her head helplessly, watching Jiang Yuan continuously release Skill Cards in the arena.
"If this wasn't the battlefield of the Joint Examination among four schools, if it wasn't for the sake of fighting for the Academy's glory, I really wouldn't want him to use this fighting style of a Skill Card Master."
Upon hearing Li Yueying finish, the old principal also nodded helplessly.
"You should have said so earlier. If you had mentioned it earlier, then we could have just not allowed him to use this fighting style before the match started."
"The materials required for cleansing special traits and the pain to be endured are actually better than the rewards for the champion of the second battlefield."
"I didn't expect Huang Huanqing to have such a card."
After Li Yueying finished speaking, the old principal seemed to suddenly remember something, and spoke directly to Li Yueying.
"Or, should we add another combat method for him? Like an archer?"
"In that case, it would change from the original choice of two to three. And with the proportion of combat methods considered, wouldn't the probability of a Summoning Card Master's trait increase?"
"Old principal, don't make trouble. Does Jiang Yuan's body look like he can draw a bow and shoot arrows?"
Li Yueying was somewhat helpless, "And what if a talent for archery really shows up? Wouldn't that complicate things even more?"
"Sigh."
After Li Yueying said this, the old principal had no other solutions and could only sigh helplessly.
"In that case, if the traits are too skewed, then I'll make another trip to the All Clans battlefield and bring back the materials we need."
"Old principal, you!"
Li Yueying gasped, quickly turning to look at the old principal, but before she could say anything to persuade him, the old principal waved his hand.
"After all, he's brought honor to our Academy, of course, we need to ensure his well-being afterward."
The old principal looked at the excited Jiang Yuan on the field with some worry, "It's just that the boy is suffering. It's hard to say whether he can withstand the pain during the trait cleansing."
Li Yueying did not speak, but instead continued watching Jiang Yuan in the arena, silently praying in her heart.
As for whether Jiang Yuan could break through to the Sixth Realm or not, they had no worries whatsoever.
If nothing unexpected happened, the blue-quality Star Power Light Ball from the championship reward would be enough to bring Jiang Yuan to the mid-stage of Great Liang, nearing the power level of the late-stage.
With this foundation, they were no longer too worried about Jiang Yuan's muscular weakness.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yuan on the field was unaware of the conversation between the old principal and his master.
At this moment, his left hand was wielding lightning, and his right hand flames, continuously launching attacks at Huang Huanqing.
See, he was feeling pretty great.
And Huang Huanqing?
At this moment, she finally realized that all this might have been premeditated.
No wonder that guy from Zhongyuan Academy sold the card so smoothly.
Think about it, after all, the card was specifically made to target Jiang Yuan.
Just before the start of the Joint Examination, someone suddenly bought this card – could he not be suspicious?
No way he would believe that!
Yet, even so, he had sold the card to her very efficiently.
So it was all planned after all.
On the surface, Jiang Yuan, as a Summoning Card Master, was not strong in combat, especially with his muscular weakness, one could say he had virtually no combat ability at all.
Meanwhile, she not only had several Attack Skills but also decent swordsmanship and just passable close-combat ability.
And now it had come to this.
Was it all your plan after all?
Huang Huanqing looked up at Jiang Yuan, and seeing the excited smile on his face only deepened her suspicion.
"You guys play dirty with tactics!"
Jiang Yuan was a bit puzzled and didn't understand what the other party meant.
Is this tactics? It's clearly covering fire. Well, okay!
After saying this bitterly, Huang Huanqing directly transferred all the skills from her Guardian Beast to herself.
Not only that, but also the Mechanical Crow's physical attack ability and the Shadow Fire Weasel's speed – at this moment, Huang Huanqing had swapped all of it onto herself.
"If that's the case, then I won't hold back anymore!"
Even though transferring all her Guardian Beast's abilities to herself didn't make her as strong as their combined combat power,
now in the Shadow Duel, if she could just take out Jiang Yuan, then even if all her Guardian Beasts outside were defeated, the ultimate victory would still belong to her!
