Card Master: My Special Feature - Choose One of Three

"Secret Service, Sixth Operations Captain, Bai Miao."

Eighteen years old, a freshman at Yujiang University, and also a lecturer for the elective course "Spiritual Arts".

Su Zhiwen paused slightly as he tossed and caught the willow-leaf throwing knife, then beckoned with his finger.

"I'll let you die knowing the truth. The person who killed you is Su Zhiwen from the Su family."

Five willow-leaf throwing knives transformed into five silver streaks of light, aimed directly at Bai Miao's vital points, swift and silent, blocking all of Bai Miao's escape routes.

Bai Miao stepped on the Bagua symbol, his movements unpredictable, advancing instead of retreating, and precisely stepping into the Gate of Life.

After being honed by Jiang Nianqing, Bai Miao's Bagua Steps improved dramatically.

Previously, we could only predict the opponent's next move by calculation, but now we can accurately calculate the location of the exit.

Five willow-leaf throwing knives missed their mark. Instead of being angry, Su Zhiwen laughed, and a flash of spiritual energy rippled from his fingertips.

Within the Bagua Formation, the Gate of Life and Death reversed, and Bai Miao spun around and stepped into the Gate of Life once more.

"Not bad, you have some skill."

Bai Miao's cheek was slashed open by a willow-leaf throwing knife, and beads of blood rolled down from the wound.

He dodged five throwing knives, but this wound was inflicted by the sixth knife, the one that missed its mark the first time.

"It combines the fourth spirit technique - Repelling the Gang, the second spirit technique - Summoning, and the thirteenth spirit technique - Spirit Transformation Soldier's throwing knife technique."

Bai Miao deduced Su Zhiwen's background from the techniques of his throwing knife skills: "You are from the Card Master family."

"Heh, you're really clever. You guessed it right away and even figured out the general idea behind my Swallow Returns Flying Dagger."

A murderous glint flashed in Su Zhiwen's eyes as he activated the card [Following the Wind].

Su Zhiwen's figure melted into the air, and his voice was carried by the wind to Bai Miao's ears.

"Going against one's family, no matter how smart, makes one a fool."

Six willow-leaf throwing knives appeared out of thin air from six different directions, like swallows returning to their nests, and flew towards Bai Miao's heart.

The invisible Bagua (eight trigrams) beneath Bai Miao's feet rotated continuously, and the Gate of Life constantly changed.

Su Zhiwen smiled smugly. He had been sent to deal with Bai Miao, so he naturally knew about the Bagua Steps of Bai Miao's maternal grandfather, the Jiang family.

His move, Flying Swallow Returns to Nest, saw the trajectories of his six willow-leaf throwing knives change like a living swallow, unpredictable until the very last moment.

Given Bai Miao's level of skill in Bagua steps, his calculation speed would inevitably be slower than his change speed.

"It's done—"

The next moment, Su Zhiwen's smile froze on his face, Bai Miao's hands rotated like a millstone due to attraction and repulsion, and the invisible Bagua reverse Tai Chi under his feet rotated.

With one force forward and the other backward, the two forces suppressed the six willow-leaf throwing knives. Bai Miao pressed down with his right hand, and the six willow-leaf throwing knives fell to the ground at the same time.

"You really think that by merging into the wind, I can't do anything to you?"

Tapioca pearls transformed into fishing rods, and Bai Miao skillfully swung the rod with one hand, the hook precisely piercing Su Zhiwen's mouth.

With a lift and a tug, Su Zhiwen was dragged out of thin air by Bai Miao, like a dead fish.

Suspended in mid-air, Su Zhiwen struggled desperately, his fingers flashing with spiritual energy as he tried to activate the willow-leaf throwing knives on the ground.

"Tapioca pearls, do you know what's even more efficient than fishing?"

Before Fen Yuan could answer, the Zhenmen coin held between Bai Miao's left index and middle fingers flashed with lightning.

"Yang Lei, summon him!"

A swift bolt of lightning struck Su Zhiwen, and wisps of blue smoke rose up. Su Zhiwen foamed at the mouth and his limbs convulsed.

Even a demon with a spiritual energy level of 25 couldn't withstand a single bolt of Yang lightning, let alone Su Zhiwen, who was only a mortal.

Bai Miao put away the six willow-leaf throwing knives on the ground.

After the six willow-leaf throwing knives were combined, Bai Miao sensed a surge of spiritual energy.

"Wow, this is a pleasant surprise. The six willow-leaf throwing knives together are actually a jinx."

"Oh no," Bai Miao thought of Xia Yuebai who had just come to find him and worried that Xia Yuebai might be in danger.

【Shared Vision】, now enabled.

"Luckily, I just gave my coat to Xia Yuebai, otherwise I really wouldn't know how to find her now."

Bai Miao carried his fishing rod, while Su Zhiwen swayed back and forth like a salted fish.

Following the thread of fate that led to the coat, Bai Miao moved through the school.

Corpses were scattered everywhere on the once bustling roads.

There were faint psionic fluctuations on the building's surface. The students crouched in corners away from the windows, afraid of being caught in the fighting outside.

The family card dealers who had infiltrated the campus, the school security officers, and the Secret Service agents who came to provide support were all locked in a fierce battle.

Bai Miao moved through the battlefield, carrying a fishing rod, occasionally unleashing a few bolts of Yang Lightning to support the members of the Security Department and Special Operations Bureau who were at a disadvantage.

The concentration of psionic energy increased due to the battle between the card masters, and Bai Miao's cell phone signal became intermittent due to psionic interference.

Bai Miao quickly found Xia Yuebai.

Yan Hongyan stayed by Xia Yuebai's side. The medical card therapist was trying to wake Xia Yuebai up, and light green healing lights were constantly entering her body.

Just a dozen minutes ago, Xia Yuebai was charming and lively, but now her eyes were closed, her brows were furrowed, as if she were in a nightmare.

"It's still not working, Captain Yan. Her body isn't injured," the healer said cautiously. "Her mind is trapped in a dream; she shouldn't be in immediate danger."

Seeing Bai Miao approach, Yan Hongyan greeted him.

"This incident happened suddenly. Since you were already at Yujiang University, Pan Lingzhen and Yan Lilai temporarily followed Team Five."

"If they get separated from you, it might be dangerous for them."

Yan Hongyan briefly explained Xia Yuebai's current situation to Bai Miao: "This person is Xia Yuebai, an intern in the medical department. When I found her, she was already like this."

"This attack was specifically targeted at you card masters who teach advanced spiritual techniques at card master schools."

"Regular cardholders and students are not among their targets."

She turned to Bai Miao for help, saying, "You are skilled in spiritual arts; perhaps you can find a way to awaken her from a spiritual perspective."

"I'll give it a try," Bai Miao activated Spirit Technique Thirty-Five - Spiritual Mind Language, a spirit technique that can project a voice directly into another person's mind.

"Xia Yuebai, Xia Yuebai—"

Bai Miao's voice echoed in Xia Yuebai's mind.

Xia Yuebai, who had been fast asleep, suddenly convulsed, her eyes snapping open, revealing only the whites of her eyes and no pupils, as if she were possessed by a monster.

A trickle of blood rolled down Xia Yuebai's nostril, her voice hoarse.

"Bai Miao, save her! Save Lü Dantong!"

After saying this, Xia Yuebai completely fainted. At the same time, Bai Miao's phone received a message that was delayed for an unknown period of time.

He Changlin sent him more than a dozen messages intermittently, some containing only one word, and others containing several unrelated nouns.

Bai Miao pieced together He Changlin's meaning—

Su family, please pray to the gods, save Dantong quickly!

"Where is Director Jiang?" Bai Miao asked Yan Hongyan. "I have something very important to report to her!"

"Director Jiang has led a team to deal with the Summoning Society in the city," Yan Hongyan said, her expression grim. She keenly sensed something was wrong. "The Summoning Society summoned monsters in more than a dozen places in the city today."

All of this is too much of a coincidence. The Card Master family launched a surprise attack on Yujiang University, and the Summoning Society caused chaos in Yujiang City, diverting the power of the Special Operations Bureau and the Public Security Office.

"Keep an eye on this card master from the Su family; something seems off."

"Pink balls, magician's hat!"

"Why!"

Tapioca pearls transformed into a magic hat, and Bai Miao cast his fishing hook into it.

Before the other person could make a pinky promise, he jumped into the magician's hat and disappeared from everyone's sight, hat and all.
