Card Master: My Special Feature - Choose One of Three

Yin Changfeng was breathing heavily, his eyes wide open. He tried to speak, but a mouthful of blood came out of his throat before he could even make a sound.

Thick blood flowed back into his nasal cavity, causing Yin Changfeng's body to arch like a worm, with more blood being squeezed out of his wound.

Bai Miao took out a vial of life potion from his personal tactical bag, opened the stopper, and the concentrated fragrance of spiritual herbs wafted into his nose.

He found the right angle through the periosteum gap in the wall of the room and shot the life-saving drug onto the ceiling above Yin Changfeng's body.

The shattered glass mixed with the life-saving potion poured over Yin Changfeng's head, and his wounds healed extremely quickly. Although he was still some distance from being fully healed, it was enough for him to regain a certain amount of combat strength and mobility.

He struggled to sit up and used his hands to carefully remove the shards of glass embedded in the healing wound.

"Thank you, but my life is worth less than a bottle of life-saving potion. I couldn't pay it back even if I sold myself."

A bottle of life potion costs hundreds of thousands of Alliance coins, while he, a Special Operations Bureau agent with a fixed salary, can only earn two or three hundred thousand Alliance coins a year.

Excluding food, lodging, and transportation, there are also daily training and psionic growth supplements. These fixed expenses would take more than ten years to save up enough for a bottle of life potion.

Bai Miao might take his life, but he would never take his money.

Life-saving potions are precious. Xia Yue gave him three vials, and she and Yin Changfeng each used one. Now there is only one vial left.

"Then you owe me a life. Remember to find a chance to repay it."

"Sure, sure," Yin Changfeng glanced at the next room, his body reacting before his mind could process it.

He scrambled to the wall closest to Bai Miao, activated the [Double Swords of Gold Dividing] technique, and gripped two short swords in his hands, making Yin Changfeng's scalp tingle.

A black turtleneck coat covered most of his face. He was tall and thin, with dark and cold eyes. His deathly pale skin was occasionally crawled by a few black insects of various shapes.

Having just been pulled back from the brink of death, he turned around and saw the Special Operations Bureau's kill list: Xiao Mingzhe, a deacon of the All Spirits Society, a peak fourth-tier card master, and the culprit who caused the Jiangdeng Spirit Realm to open ahead of schedule.

This tangy feeling is something no one can understand.

"Bai Miao, where's Jiao Beiyao? We entered the River Lantern Spirit Realm together; we can't both be awake while he's still asleep, can we?"

In the illusion, he helped the various families in Yujiang City fight against the Yu family, and in the end, he also contributed a lot when the Jiang sisters killed the evil dragon.

Jiao Beiyao is stronger than him, so he should be able to defeat the evil dragon much faster.

Yin Changfeng knew very well that with the combined strength of Bai Miao and himself, they were nothing compared to Jiao Beiyao, a peak fourth-tier card master.

The two could only survive by relying on Jiao Beiyao.

The walls between the rooms do not completely separate the two spaces. Bai Miao can throw the life potion over through the wall, which means that Xiao Mingzhe's "black worms" can also crawl over through the gaps.

"Xiao Mingzhe, each level of the trials in the Jiangdeng Spirit Realm has a purpose. Only by entering the third level of trials will you have the opportunity to meet Lady Jiangdeng."

If you still want to achieve your goal, I advise you not to act rashly.

Rather than resorting to blustering threats, Yin Changfeng opted for a more rational approach to persuasion.

Threats are unlikely to work on someone of Xiao Mingzhe's caliber; only offers that are directly related to his interests can sway him.

At this moment, Yin Changfeng attempted to use the variables within Jiangdeng Spirit Realm as leverage.

Xiao Mingzhe's goal was to see Lady Jiangdeng. Whether it was through devouring or making a contract, the fact that he couldn't leave the room directly meant that he also had to abide by the rules.

For Xiao Mingzhe, letting Bai Miao and Yin Changfeng go for the time being is a safer choice.

"Jiao Beiyao is..." Bai Miao pointed to the room behind him. He also recognized Xiao Mingzhe and moved to the other side of the wall to check on Jiao Beiyao's condition.

Jiao Beiyao was not much better off than Yin Changfeng, with several bloody holes in his chest, and Bai Miao looked as if he had been stabbed several times.

"He hasn't woken up yet, and he's not in good condition."

Bai Miao was considering whether or not to use his last bottle of life-saving potion on Jiao Beiyao.

Jiao Beiyao suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils covered in mithril, and the wounds on his body were also filled with mithril.

He met Bai Miao's gaze and said with lingering fear:

"I almost got stabbed to death by those two women with swords. Luckily you reminded me to be careful of beautiful women. What man doesn't want to have two women on his left and right, especially twin sisters? I just made the mistake that every man makes."

Is it really worth taking my life?

Faced with Yin Changfeng's threat, a large number of black insects crawled out of Xiao Mingzhe's hand, which was hidden under his wide sleeves, and scurried into the next room through the gaps in the wall covering.

"Am I, Yin Changfeng, going to die here? I still have so many skin tones and types that I haven't tried on yet."

Yin Changfeng's hair stood on end, and he unleashed several blades of light with his twin swords.

The black insects regarded the blade's edge as nothing, and were not hindered in the slightest.

In a few breaths, the black worm burrowed to Yin Changfeng's feet. His heart jumped into his throat, and he even temporarily forgot the pain in his wound.

A flash of silver light appeared as a series of mithril needles rose from the ground, piercing through the black insects.

Xiao Mingzhe's voice was relatively calm. "Consider yourself lucky."

With that, he pushed open the door with one hand and walked out of the room.

Yin Changfeng broke out in a cold sweat, and Jiao Bei saw Xiao Mingzhe walk out of the room and pushed open the door to chase after him.

Outside the door was a dark passageway, and Xiao Mingzhe had long since disappeared.

Jiao Beiyao made quite a commotion when he opened the door, and doors in several other rooms followed suit.

"Li Xun, Gong Wanning, Wu Sisi, what are you doing in the Spirit Realm?"

What's the situation outside Yujiang City right now?

Bai Miao was surprised to see Li Xun and the others in the spirit realm. He knew that the Jiangdeng Spirit Realm was because the Jiangdeng Goddess was the Jiang family sister from hundreds of years ago. Under normal circumstances, the Jiangdeng Spirit Realm was not very dangerous.

However, the Jiangdeng Spirit Realm opened ahead of schedule this time, and Xiao Mingzhe is also present within the Jiangdeng Spirit Realm. Encountering Xiao Mingzhe is almost certain death.

They actually insisted on venturing into the Jiangdeng Spirit Realm.

"What? You can come, but I can't?" Li Xun's words were sharp. Card masters are born to face death. Without a heart that faces danger head-on, one is destined not to go far on the path of a card master.

"Li Xun, watch your attitude." You Siming pushed open the room door, clearly indicating that the time taken to pass the first level of the illusion test was not necessarily related to strength.

He explained the current situation to Bai Miao and others, mainly to Jiao Beiyao, a fourth-tier card master.

"The Jiangdeng Spirit Realm opened ahead of schedule, and the three departments temporarily controlled the situation. All the residents just thought it was the early start of the Jiangdeng Festival celebration."

"Our time is limited; the Jiangdeng Spirit Realm is only open for three days each time."

You Siming took out a clock-shaped artifact, glanced at the time, and said, "The Spirit Realm has been open for half a day now, so we have two and a half days left."

Our mission for the next two and a half days is to kill Xiao Mingzhe.

Clearly, Xiao Mingzhe had already sensed You Siming's presence inside the ship's cabin, so he did not choose to confront Jiao Beiyao head-on.
