Cards are born to be king

"Great, boss, you won again! Let's go to the fourth cafeteria for a meal!"

"Congratulations."

"Boss, you are really, really amazing."

As soon as Jiang Yong stepped down from the arena at the end of the battle, the three of Fei Nuo happily surrounded him.Hearing the sincere blessings from his roommates, Jiang Yong smiled slightly.It's just that there are some regrets in my heart.

Originally, he wanted to test his own cards in the next few games, but he didn't expect that Goudan had just entered adulthood and was frightened again. He was so angry that he volunteered.I beat the rest of the opponents half to death with a single bird, even the so-called senior who practiced both alchemy and pharmacy didn't survive 5 minutes, and didn't give Jiang Yong a chance to make a move.

It also means that the School of Pharmacy has been weak year after year, and among the competitors in the first to third grades, Jiang Yong has not found a single one who is talented in fighting.He led his roommates to squeeze out from the crowd, pondering in his mind.Because of the expiry of one-time cards, he only drew one before this game.But who would have thought that even this one would not have a chance to be used.

When he squeezed out of the crowd, Jiang Yong noticed that besides the School of Pharmacy, there were more people from other schools besides the School of Pharmacy, and they looked at him with a bit of scrutiny and hostility.After winning these three games, Jiang Yong will steadily advance to the school-level competition, and they will all be enemies by then.

But Jiang Yong was honest in his heart, he didn't intend to fight desperately for the school competition.Goudan has finished evolving, and the dean has enough to explain, so what else is there to do.When it came to the school-level competition, what he met was not as soft and sweet as the School of Pharmacy. Jiang Yong always kept a respectful distance from activities that might endanger his life, not to mention that he was only a first-year student, and now he had enough limelight. People who are too crazy in history have no good end.

Having already made a decision in his heart, he went to order a table of good food in the fourth cafeteria with his roommate without any psychological burden, and he ate to his heart's content.After returning to the dormitory, the four chatted for a while to exchange feelings, and then went back to the room early to rest.

After dimming the lights, Jiang Yonglin habitually took out the crystal mirror from under the pillow before going to sleep, and left a message to Amos after seeing that the figure of the man was not reflected on the mirror.He and Amos have been relatively busy in the past week, and the two communicated through messages.Jiang Yong told him that he had passed the intramural competition and was about to enter the school competition.And the message Amos replied yesterday was also displayed in front of his eyes.

[Today I discovered a very rare Arnott black lotus, which is the raw material for refining high-level awakening potions and sincerity potions.This kind of medicinal material has not been found on the Andeste continent for a hundred years, and I didn't expect to see it here.I collected it completely. The black lotus collection method is complicated, which is an interesting experience. ...am]

Accompanying this message is a dynamic picture: stalagmites stand in clusters in the dark and gloomy cave, and sparks of fire are reflected on it.At the edge of the cave, there are two lavas from the core of the earth flowing slowly, hitting the stones and sparks splashing.Even if you don't experience Jiang Yong personally, you can feel the extremely high temperature.

And Amos is standing on the right side of the picture, holding a box in his hand, moving carefully.The box was filled with ashes of fire snakes and high-grade fire crystals, and in the center lay a translucent black lotus quietly.Arnott's black lotus is one of the five legendary materials in the pharmacy world, and it almost only exists in legends. It would be extremely lucky for any pharmacist in the world to have seen one or more of them in his lifetime.However, Jiang Yong couldn't stop looking at Amos' face.

Against the backdrop of the little firelight, the elf's face looked gentle and focused, and a few strands of silver hair hung down his cheeks, quiet and beautiful.Subconsciously clicked and took a screenshot. When Jiang Yong realized his actions, he shook his head in amazement. He could only lament that Amos was very knowledgeable and good-looking. It was as simple as taking a screenshot and releasing it. It's like a super clear wallpaper.

Satisfied, he saved the photo in his badge, and Jiang Yong left a few more words for Amos before falling asleep.In the dream, he and Amos traveled the continent together, adventuring to collect medicinal materials in various inaccessible and dangerous places, so happy.However, the dream is beautiful, but when Jiang Yong woke up, he was covered in cold sweat.

"Mom, I was scared to death. Going to the dark abyss to gather herbs, who gave me such a boldness, I will die."

He muttered, shaking his head, he could only blame beauty for misleading others, even his own dreams were so illogical.Seeing that the time was about to come, Jiang Yong put on his pharmacy robe and held his hat in his hand, and leisurely swayed towards the ring.Along the way, many students with solemn faces turned towards the square. Some people saw Jiang Yong on the road and cheered for him. Never in history has a first-year pharmacy college student entered the school-level competition. Jiang Yong like this It can be regarded as setting a precedent.

Today was the day when the results were announced, and the many arenas in the square had been cleared out, leaving only the Baishi arena in the center with the largest area and the most complete protection facilities.Surrounding the arena are portrayed ferocious monsters, each of which is lifelike and murderous.

They are not simple reliefs, but another form of expression of the magic pattern. The craftsmanship is complicated but it has the effect of annihilating high-strength star soul power and shielding the alchemy circle, so that the battle inside the ring will not spread to the outside.Even if you get it from the Third Courtyard, it can be considered precious.

Another high platform was erected on the right side of the huge ring, and there were dozens of seats on the high platform at the moment.The deans and professors of each college sat together according to the colleges. Not only the deans of Swift, Dashani and other three colleges arrived, but even Kailan, the principal of Kailan Star Academy, had already taken their seats.

Over the years, Kailan would come to watch the school-level games unshakably. He doesn't look too old, young and handsome, looking at the field with enthusiasm, and his clothes are considered plain.It doesn't look like a rich second-generation principal, but more like a senior student.Obviously the current position of Kailan Star Academy is precarious and the situation is not good, but there is no sign of anxiety or nervousness in his expression, instead he is leisurely chatting with the dean of the third academy beside him.

The instructors and professors sitting in the back did not have such good concentration. They were either talking in low voices with worried faces, or looking at the students below who kept entering the venue.Jiang Yong was standing among the crowd, and naturally a guide brought him to the side of the ring.At this time, there were already five people waiting here, and they were the two winners from each courtyard in the first to third grade groups.Except for Jiang Yong, they are all third graders!

After looking around for a while, Jiang Yong stood beside the green-robed senior of the School of Pharmacy. The senior smiled at him, but his face was a bit reluctant.Looking at it from a general perspective, the expressions of these five people are not very good. Some expressions are full of unwillingness, and they clenched their fists tightly.After all, the winners of these junior groups are actually a piece of cake in the school-level competition, and they are purely here to see the big scene.

This is all because once they enter the senior grades, the students will start to practice in Tianchao or Dawn Mountains. The weak have been brutally eliminated long ago, and most of the rest are those who have a skill and have experienced the crisis of life and death.And more importantly, outstanding students in the senior grades have the opportunity to enter the fantasy world of the Star Academy once a year.What exactly is in the illusion is different for everyone, but once they experience it, their strength will have a terrifying increase.

Those present are also the pride of heaven, the most outstanding figures in the grade.I'm used to being proud at ordinary times, so in the school level competition, I just walked through the field and was defeated, and I couldn't stand it on anyone.However, there is an insurmountable gap between the strength of the senior group and them. Even the fourth grade who is only one grade higher than them is not a little stronger.

No matter how bitter and unwilling the people in the field are, they can only accept the reality after entanglement. When they reach the fourth grade, their strength will greatly increase, and they will not be weaker than those in the upper grades.This is a contest of mentality. People who are too fragile to bear it will either change their attitude and become tough after experiencing this, or they will become sluggish and achieve nothing.

But Jiang Yong didn't have any psychological burden anymore. He looked at the majestic beast-like magic patterns on the ring with great interest, especially the statues that resembled beasts and non-beasts that seemed human and non-human made him even more curious.

"These monsters seem to be the same as or, and the magic pattern can still be used like this." Jiang Yong even saw the ears of one of the monsters shaking, and the tail wagging.This made him feel incredible.

"Hmph, a first grader is a first grader. Sure enough, he doesn't understand anything, and he doesn't know what he's doing here. I guess he thinks he's playing house now."

A person who was promoted from the Star Card Academy next to him couldn't understand Jiang Yong's leisurely demeanor at the moment, and said eccentrically.

"Leo, shut your stinky mouth."

The promoted third-year student of the School of Pharmacy frowned, with a warning in his tone.He pulled Jiang Yong to his side, with a serious face and whispered:

"Fei Lian, listen to my advice. Those senior students are different from us. They are merciless in their strikes. If you strike hard, you are likely to be seriously injured. Let's just admit defeat when we get to the ring. Come on down, it's not shameful, you are now a student of the dean, you are very talented in medicine, and you are only in the first year, don't get injured here just to save your breath."

The senior spoke earnestly, Jiang Yong could hear his kindness, and nodded seriously.Hearing the words, the promotions of the two houses next to him also looked gloomy.But he didn't say much.What the senior said was true, even if they could only last a little longer in the ring, and the injuries they suffered might be more serious.

They weighed the pros and cons in their hearts, but in the next moment, bursts of exclamations broke out in the field.

"Haettis is here!"

"This is Heidi Si in the sixth grade of the Lika Department. He has a super four-star special ability, the magic armor, and he has already regained the second ability. This time there must be him in the first ten miles. It is not impossible to be in the top five!"

I saw a man in pitch-black armor roaring from the distant sky, and the wind wings formed by the condensed two wind elements behind him stretched out, and he came to the ring in the blink of an eye.He has a strong physique and a tall stature, standing there in armor like a hill.He bowed silently towards the high platform first, then walked aside and closed his eyes to rest.

The dean of the Star Card Institute on the high platform is a kind-hearted old man. He smiled slightly and looked kindly at the director of the Rica Department:

"Tissain, I didn't expect Hades to use the power of the Storm Wrath card to condense into wind wings, and he can activate two cards at the same time. It seems that he is much more skilled in using the power of the star soul. Thinking about this You can definitely get a good ranking once.”

"Heides has really worked hard. He just returned from the Dawn Mountain Range last week and brought back the fangs of a fourth-level monster. I am also very optimistic about him."

Tisain's face showed a bit of color, and the students in the field looked at Heides in amazement, especially the eyes of the students of the Lika Department were full of envy and enthusiasm.Jiang Yong couldn't help but cast a glance to his side, where the star card academy student who had satirized him just now was beaming, and said happily:

"Look, Hades is my brother, dear brother! I will also have the card of the magic armor in the future, and I will not be weaker than him!"

But the discussion about Haytis didn't end, and there was a thunderous cannon shot in the distant sky.There was an uproar in the crowd, and everyone looked up towards the sky.I saw a crimson flame spreading in the sky in the distance, and amidst the roar of giant cannons, a young man wearing goggles looked arrogant, carrying a heavy cannon three times bigger than his entire body on his shoulders.

He was wearing an alchemist's gold and silver two-color gloves, and a huge purple alchemy formation with his hands crossed appeared in midair.The flaming heavy cannon was immediately decomposed and transformed into a silver-white flying shuttle, and the young man stepped on the flying shuttle and came to the ring in an instant.When he landed, the alchemy circle reappeared, and the flying shuttle turned into a heavy cannon again. When he landed, there was only a loud bang, and the entire arena trembled slightly. His momentum surpassed that of Hades.

Lifting the goggles, the boy glanced around and snorted haughtily.

"This is Carmenro, who is in the sixth grade of the Alchemy Academy! He comes from an alchemy family, and the alchemy gloves on his hands were once used by the alchemist master Kadesai, and they have a strong ability to increase the alchemy products!"

"I heard that Carmenro has been alone and mysterious since he entered the academy. I didn't expect his strength to be so strong!"

Dashani chuckled lightly on the high platform, and lazily said:

"Principal, Carmenro has devoted himself to learning basic alchemy, what do you think of my student?"

"Not bad, I think he has great potential. He can use the purple alchemy array proficiently in the sixth grade, and his future is immeasurable."

Kailan said with great satisfaction:

"Fortunately, a few years ago, our star academy greatly increased the benefits for new students, otherwise we wouldn't be able to recruit such good seedlings."

Hearing his words, the instructors and professors looked at each other, feeling a little more sighed in their hearts.In the past, the Kailan Star Institute had a glorious past. Facing the best research conditions and excellent benefits accumulated by Jinshan, it was rare for some people to be indifferent, and they recruited many good seedlings because of this.However, since what happened three years ago, no matter how good the students are, they dare not come here.

When the sixth and fifth grades graduate this year, I really don't know who else can afford the Star Academy.

No matter how worried the instructors and professors were, the dean of the third hospital did not change his face.Next, several students from the Alchemy Academy and the Star Card Academy arrived with great momentum. Elsa, who was in the sixth grade of the element card department, and Aldrich, who was in the sixth grade of the special card department.Camus, a sixth grader of the Mechanics Department, and Eisley, a sixth grader of the Magic Pattern Department.

Every time someone appeared, there would be an exclamation.But the students from the School of Pharmacy were nowhere to be seen.Swift had a stinky face as usual, and no one could detect what was going on in his heart.However, at the next moment, he suddenly raised his eyelids to look into the distance, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Realizing something, Kailan raised her head and looked into the distance thoughtfully.Not only that, the other dean of the two yuan also raised his head and stared into the distance at the same time.

A heaven-shattering beast roar suddenly sounded, and the distant sky suddenly rolled into endless clouds, and the dull rumbling thunder could even be heard.In the clouds, one could faintly see a giant beast coming over the clouds. It had three ferocious heads, a lion's body and a tiger's tail, its body covered in pure white satin-like hair, and its four hooves stepped on the snow.

Endless thunderclouds gathered and formed around it, and then turned into torrential rain.The giant beast's movements looked slow but were actually extremely fast, and it came to the ring in a blink of an eye.On its back sat a man.It was a thin young man wearing a dark blue robe.The exposed parts of the body are painted with mysterious totems.

There are countless gorgeous ornaments on his body, only the dark brown hair is decorated with various feathers.The young man wore half a dark golden mask, revealing only a pair of sharp blue eyes and thin red lips.He held a scepter in his hand, and the top decorated with animal teeth turned out to be a black skull.

When the young man stepped off the giant beast, the tumbling thunder suddenly became silent, and the downpour turned small and then stopped, leaving only a rainbow.

Countless students gasped when they saw the scene in front of them.It's just that their faces lacked the excitement and anticipation before, and instead added some fear and indescribable expressions.

"This is Haze in the sixth grade of the School of Pharmacy. I heard that he is the next great witch of the largest tribe on the Orc Stormy Grassland. For some reason, he came to our star school. He entered the Department of Witchcraft under the traditional pharmacy of the School of Pharmacy."

"I heard that the Yuze beast next to him is still in the growth stage but already has the strength of a fifth-level monster. It is his companion guardian beast. This person has been mysterious for six years. He entered the natural moat in the second grade. He has always been right I'm not interested in things in the academy, so I don't know how he will participate in the school-level competition this time."

On the other hand, Haydis and the others looked at Haze with serious and apprehensive eyes. The arrogance on Carmenro's face receded, and his eyes were full of fighting spirit.Haze, on the other hand, didn't care about it, and just went up to the high platform to perform the etiquette of the orc tribe.Suddenly, as if he had sensed something, his sharp eyes swept across the field, and stopped for a moment on Goudan on Jiang Yong's shoulder, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

At this moment, the atmosphere on the high platform is not easy.Everyone looked at Swift in unison. After a while of silence, Kailan was the first to speak curiously:

"Swift, I have long heard that only one person from the senior group of the School of Pharmacy advanced to the school competition this year. It turned out to be this person. Didn't he never participate in the competition?"

"Who knows, Haze himself asked to participate."

The Dean replied in a calm tone.Kailan was about to continue speaking when she heard the words, when she suddenly noticed Jiang Yong in the junior team who was walking into the ring. He rolled his eyes and said with a smile:

"This is the first-year apprentice you accepted? I didn't expect him to be able to enter the school level competition. He is really a formidable young man. It seems that besides medicine, he also performed well in the group arena."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Swift opened his mouth and looked at Jiang Yong with an unpredictable expression, but he looked worried carefully.And after the winners of the lower grades stepped onto the ring, the upper grades didn't even give them a look.Only Heidisi diverted his attention and glanced at the third-year student of the Star Card Academy.It seems that there is indeed an extraordinary relationship between them.

And Jiang Yong, as a first-year student, looks the smallest and inconspicuous, and looks like he just came to join in the fun, and he doesn't get a single point of attention.It would be better not to get attention, Jiang Yong stood beside the senior, looked at Heidi Si and Carmen Luo who were ready to go, and then at Haze who was guarding the giant beast beside him, secretly startled.

He originally thought that he already had enough golden fingers, but he didn't expect that there were people outside the world, and there was a sky beyond the sky.It's just that the senior students of Kailan Star Academy look so powerful and extraordinary. I don't know how many talented people there are out there.

"Hold on, don't move."

With a warning to Goudan in his heart, Jiang Yong noticed the unusual eagerness and commotion in his heart, and he also felt that it was probably stimulated by the huge Yuze beast.However, he had made up his mind to pay attention to this school-level competition even before he came, so he wasn't too nervous.

There are more and more people around the ring, and almost everyone in the Star Academy has come.Although the Kailan Star Academy has declined, there are still nearly a thousand people in the Star Academy.Only a grand event like this can pull out those nerds who are obsessed with libraries and laboratories, and everyone is talking about it and looking forward to it.

Originally, the top five seemed to have no suspense, it must be Carmenro, Aldrich, Camus, Eisley and Hades, but everyone didn't expect a haze to come out halfway.Then the ranking of the top five is estimated to have a big change, and it is estimated that one person will be excluded.

Gradually, the surroundings became quiet.A depressive and murderous atmosphere gradually formed, making everyone breathless.Fortunately, not long after, Principal Kailan stood up and announced the official start of the ring battle. The first thing to do was to draw lots!

The school-level group arena competition adopts a knockout format, because there are a total of 13 participants this time, so one person will have a bye.After everyone else has played a round of competition, they will continue to play against the next opponent in order until the top five are finally determined.But then, Kailan announced an unexpected news.

"After the committee's discussion, the number of students participating in the star academy competition this year will be reduced from five to three. The top three in this internal competition will enter the star academy competition."

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere on the field suddenly became more dignified.Originally, there were only seven senior students participating in the competition this time, and everyone who picked five out of seven knew it well.However, now that it has been reduced to three people all of a sudden, a lot of variables have suddenly increased.None of the people present were vegetarians, and the gazes they looked at each other were even more hostile.In a few moments, the lottery was over.

Looking at the stick in his hand, Jiang Yong felt a toothache.He looked around, but saw the third grader from Star Card Academy suddenly looked up at him, grinned, and scratched his neck threateningly.

And the next moment, Kailan's voice came from the high platform.

"In the first match, Fei Lian, the improved pharmacy department of the School of Pharmacy, vs. Leo, the Lika system of the Star Card Academy, the match will start in half a minute!"

The author has something to say: Cough, this is yesterday’s update and today’s update, okay? qwq I won’t update it tonight [playing dead]

In the next chapter, Jiang Yong will show his talents. He and Amos will meet soon!
