Myth Card Supplier: Nezha the Third Prince.

Chapter 582 Ancient Capital Sidan: Familiar, so very familiar! (Seeking monthly votes)

The undead youth never expected Jiang Yuan to be so fast.

It arrived on his face almost in the blink of an eye.

The next second, the spear in the opponent's hand ignored his defensive equipment and pierced right through him.

The battle is over!

"I go!"

"Is that all there is to the battle?"

"So fast? How long has it been?"

Seeing that one battle had ended so soon after it began, everyone looked on in surprise.

After the battle ended, the virtual arena disappeared, and Jiang Yuan and his opponent reappeared in the arena.

Seeing one person with a blank expression and the other with a dejected look, everyone immediately knew who had won.

"Who is that guy? He looks like just an ordinary undead."

"I know his opponent; he's a member of the undead bone race, considered a minor genius in Bone City."

"A player who's considered a prodigy even in a small town was instantly defeated like that?"

"Who is the other party?"

"do not know."

No one in the audience knew Jiang Yuan's background; they only knew that Jiang Yuan was probably just an ordinary undead.

After all, he didn't have any distinctive markings of other races on him.

"His name is Celt. He is an undead from a remote area. He is an ordinary undead who lost both his parents at a young age and has lived alone."

On the platform, a man dressed in a suit, resembling a butler, was looking at the data on his terminal and speaking to Gu Du Si Dan.

Gu Du Si Dan nodded slightly, but the butler continued to speak.

"Something is strange. He was only at the early stage of Quail Tail when he entered the city two days ago, but now he has successfully broken through to the late stage of Quail Tail."

"He must have had some kind of extraordinary encounter."

"An unexpected encounter?"

Gu Du Si Dan's lips curled up: "This is interesting. It's only been a few days. Even with a fortuitous encounter, breaking through these two bottlenecks is not an easy task."

"It seems this kid is not only lucky, but also very talented."

Gudu Sidan waved his hand: "Don't worry about him for now, let's keep watching. We'll see if he makes it into the final twenty."

"it is good."

The butler nodded and then fell silent, continuing to watch the battle unfold.

"Relax and enjoyable~"

After winning the battle, Jiang Yuan happily returned to the contestants' seat.

After the battle, he realized just how good the foundation Laozi had laid for him was.

Others take pills to improve their cultivation, but it takes a long time to stabilize their progress.

Jiangyuan, however, does not need this.

Although he also needs some time to stabilize his cultivation, this time is much shorter compared to others.

In addition to pills that enhance cultivation, there are also various pills and exercises that strengthen the body's foundation and improve physical condition.

It's a pity that the skill card for the [Eight-Nine Arcane Arts] was never created.

Otherwise, his physical condition would definitely be even more terrifying now.

But this is not bad either.

Although they can't compare to Nezha or Zhao Gongming.

However, in this state, I still have no problem fighting some undead.

After Jiang Yuan returned to the contestants' seats, the other undead people all cast wary glances at him.

"I originally thought there were very strong opponents in the other groups, and I was glad that there weren't any in our group. But then this freakish guy appeared."

"Two seconds to finish the fight? Is this guy an undead?"

"It's possible that his opponent was too weak, so his fight ended quickly. In reality, his strength wasn't that great."

"Stop fooling yourself. Even if the opponent is weak, they're still at this level. How weak could they be?"

"That means I'm stronger than him. If I were to encounter that guy, I could probably end the fight quickly too!"

One of the Golden Horned Undead looked annoyed: "If he gets to meet me, he'll know just how terrifying the power of magic can be."

The Golden Horned Undead Clan, also known as the Undead Golden Clan, is a special race that excels at various magical attacks.

Besides elemental magic, his forte is necromancy.

Necromancers excel at curses and negative effects, though they do possess some offensive skills.

Unlike elemental magic, necromancy primarily attacks the soul.

Jiang Yuan didn't hear what the Golden Horned Undead Clan member said, otherwise he might have burst out laughing.

After all, he possessed Shi Ji's "Stubborn Will," Nezha's "Lotus Incarnation," and Qiong Xiao's "Purification of the World."

The mere necromancy won't cause me any harm at all.

Even without using the Linglong Pagoda as a defense, if Jiang Yuan just stood there and let the opponent attack him, what could they do to him?

With the combination of [Lotus Incarnation] and [Unyielding Will], it can be said that there are virtually no soul attack skills of the same level.

The people in the players' stands were whispering among themselves, and the battle was progressing very quickly.

Bixiao took the stage shortly afterward.

After Bixiao entered the arena, she also demonstrated her terrifying fighting power and speed.

They defeated their opponent in about the same amount of time as Jiang Yuan.

These were the only two players to finish a fight within three seconds, which naturally caught the attention of Gudu Sidan.

The butler beside him also explained to Gu Du Si Dan at the right time.

"Seoya, late stage of Quail Tail, her parents died in the battlefield of ten thousand races a year ago, and now she lives alone with no other relatives."

Bixiao's background was flawless; after all, she had just met the most suitable person by chance.

But Jiangyuan's is different.

While there are ways to explain the rapid improvement in one's realm, it is ultimately a flaw.

Fortunately, Gudu Sidan did not notice this flaw in his current state.

"According to the backstage monitoring, he and Celt, who also finished the fight in three seconds, have a good relationship. It seems that the two of them registered and arrived at the same time."

"That's not bad."

Gu Du Sidan rested his chin on his hand and nodded slightly.

To maintain the loyalty of your subordinates, sometimes a necessary threat is required.

Like these two contestants, although they are powerful fighters, they are difficult to control without the constraints of their families.

However, if the two of them get married now, that would be a different story.

"Keep watching, and pay close attention to their next battle."

"Ok."

After the butler nodded, he continued to watch the combat performance of the various undead race members in the arena and the performance of Jiang Yuan and Bi Xiao in the contestants' seats.

Let's see if the two of them get very close, and whether it's possible to bring them together.
If possible, both sides will have a point that can be targeted, and they can be better controlled.

Control does not equate to increased loyalty.

Loyal people have their uses, and those who are controlled have theirs.

However, after watching for a while, the butler realized it.

The two didn't seem particularly close; they were just ordinary friends. "Being ordinary friends is fine too."

After the butler told Gudu Sidan about this, Gudu Sidan remained calm.

"Subordinates who are threatened by the weaknesses of newcomers are easier to control, but their loyalty will eventually be questionable."

"I never intended to use this method in the first place."

Gudu Sidan knew exactly what his father was testing them for, though he wouldn't use relatives or important people to threaten them.

He simply thought that by bringing them together, they would be more likely to submit to him more quickly.

The matchmaker is highly trusted.

Even if he fails, it's not a pity; he has plenty of methods.

Gu Du Si Dan smiled confidently, showing none of the simple-mindedness Jiang Yuan had previously seen.

The battle continued, and after the first round, only five hundred people remained in the arena.

Two more rounds of battles and we'll be able to advance to the main tournament.

Jiang Yuan was quite familiar with these kinds of challenge and selection competitions, so he didn't pay much attention to them.

When it's his turn, he can go up and fight.

However, when the second round of battle began, it was Bixiao who went first.

Bi Xiao is very strong in combat. Even though her opponent is stronger than the one in the previous round, there is no difference between them and Bi Xiao.

They were still quickly eliminated.

"How about that? Pretty strong, huh!"

After Bixiao left the stage, amidst the surprised and fearful gazes of the crowd, she approached Jiang Yuan with a smile and asked him a question.

"powerful."

Jiang Yuan gave Bi Xiao a thumbs up and gave her a perfunctory reply.

He didn't know if Gudu Sidan was watching them.

After all, this royal guard selection competition was for the ancient capital Sidan to choose from.

When Bixiao came on stage, he saw the surveillance cameras in the players' seating area.

If Gudu Sidan were watching, he would probably have seen everything that happened.

If that's the case, then Bixiao's abilities can't be used.

After all, he doesn't recognize his current identity as a member of the Undead Clan or Bixiao's identity as a member of the Undead Clan.

There's no reason why the card abilities used should be the same.

But it doesn't matter. Even without Bixiao's abilities, Nezha and Zhao Gongming's abilities are enough.

To be honest, Nezha's four skills alone are enough for Jiang Ming to wipe out the undead race of the same level.

"I remember that the ordinary undead race hasn't been upgraded yet, has it?"

"Correct."

The butler nodded: "If ordinary undead races are to be upgraded, it will probably have to wait until the race world is completely upgraded to the first-tier races before they can be upgraded."

The Undead race is currently in the process of upgrading the world level. Before the world level is fully upgraded, only a certain special race has received the ability bonus.

The most numerous ordinary undead race will have to wait until the world level is upgraded before they can receive the bonuses from the world of the first-order races.

"In other words, they are now winning against a stronger opponent."

Gudu Sidan was somewhat surprised: "To defeat the strong with the weak. And to kill the opponent with an absolute advantage."

"If the first round of fighting was because the opponent didn't understand their fighting style, then now that we're in the second round, there's no reason not to be wary of them."

As Gudu Sidan spoke, he suddenly smiled and said, "Let's see how the battle goes after that guy named Celt comes on stage."

"If he can still instantly kill his opponent, then it's an absolute crushing of strength."

"This kind of person is suitable to become a core guard member."

After Gu Du Si Dan finished speaking, the butler beside him nodded slightly.

As mentioned earlier, the difference between loyalists and those who are controlled lies in...

Only those who meet the loyalty requirement have a chance to join the core guard.

Those who are controlled cannot join the core guard without loyalty.

The butler naturally understood this, so he focused most of his attention on Jiang Yuan.

We are just waiting for Jiang Yuan to enter.

In the arena, the second round of battle proceeded faster than the first round because there were fewer people involved.

After Bixiao was eliminated, it was soon Jiangyuan's turn.

Jiang Yuan walked onto the court; this time, his opponent was a female undead.

To Jiang Yuan's surprise, the weapon the other party was holding was a bow and arrow.

While bows and arrows pose a formidable threat in the wild, they are less effective in virtual combat arenas.

After entering the virtual fighting arena, neither of them said much and immediately prepared to start fighting.

"Archers, I wonder how long this battle will last."

Off the field, Gudu Sidan also deduced the opponent's weapon by observing their hands and attire.

Generally speaking, archers have the ability to move quickly and dodge quickly.

Therefore, even in the limited space of a ring match, it is quite difficult to deal with.

Or rather, they are relatively difficult opponents to kill.

Seeing that Jiang Yuan's opponent was an archer, Gudu Sidan also became interested.

If he can still quickly eliminate the opponent, then it proves that he didn't misjudge the person.

If you can't...

We'll see how he performs.

In the arena, the two stood facing each other, and as the countdown ended, the red cards in their hands shone.

Just as Jiang Yuan and Gudu Sidan had predicted, their opponent immediately produced a bronze-colored longbow.

He drew his bow and shot an arrow directly at Jiangyuan.

Jiang Yuan reacted quickly as well. He wielded the newly appeared, now transformed, fire-tipped spear to deflect the first ordinary arrow that came at him, and then immediately launched an attack on his opponent.

But the undead girl was very fast. Jiang Yuan had only taken two steps when another arrow crackling with golden electricity shot towards him.

"wipe!"

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan dodged the arrow by turning to the side, and then threw the Fire-Tipped Spear in his hand, rushing towards the undead girl.

While the opponent was dodging, Jiang Yuan also gathered lightning in his hand, and a bow made of black lightning appeared.

Then, arrows made of lightning appeared on the bowstring as it was drawn.

The thicker arrows were faster, forcing the undead girl to dodge them.

Of course, Jiang Yuan used red-quality cards as a cover for all of these skills.

After all, the undead race itself does not possess the ability to generate lightning.

The undead girl was indeed a skilled archer; her dodging speed was incredibly fast.

But the next second, a black bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting the undead girl directly, but it was blocked by her defensive equipment.

But the next second, Jiang Yuan reached out and summoned the Fire-Tipped Spear back, and at the same time, Jiang Yuan appeared behind the girl.

"hiss!"

Gu Du Sidan was also somewhat surprised to see this scene: "Why does this look so familiar?"
