Card Master: My Special Feature - Choose One of Three

Just as the students thought the battle would be dominated by martial arts, Bai Miao's body turned into a blur and flashed more than ten meters away.

In a contest of martial arts alone, Bai Miao has absolutely no chance of defeating Chi Tengzhou.

What happened before was just a test; now it's for real.

"I can't believe it!" Yan Jin was amazed by Bai Miao's move. "First, activate Spirit Technique Thirty - Instant Step, then connect with Spirit Technique Sixteen - Flying Leap."

While retaining the speed of Shunpo, it cleverly solves the problem of Shunpo tearing the body.

As Bai Miao's rival, Chi Tengzhou felt it more directly; he was not a pedantic person.

Many skilled martial arts masters believe that using spiritual arts to assist martial arts is a minor or misguided path.

He had never met a card master skilled in this art before, but now he saw more possibilities for martial arts in Bai Miao.

[Shared Vision] activated.

Haha handed the two of spades to Bai Miao, and a shuttle-shaped psionic missile, carrying the two of spades, shot towards Chi Tengzhou.

Chi Tengzhou activated Spirit Technique Thirteen - Spirit Transformation Soldier, using spiritual energy to create partial armor to protect his forearm, and swept it towards the Two of Spades.

Unexpectedly, the playing card, along with the psionic missile, appeared in a flash, piercing through the psionic armor and leaving a bloody gash on his arm.

Although the students didn't know what had happened, they could see that Bai Miao's spiritual technique had broken through Chi Tengzhou's defense.

Discussions erupted. Cao Bingyi, who was studying combat skills, rushed over to Yan Jin, who was studying spiritual arts, and asked, "Do you know the trick to that move just now?"

"It's probably a combination of card abilities and Spirit Technique 1," Yan Jin speculated.

She had no idea when Bai Miao summoned the new card.

Chi Tengzhou let the blood slide down his arm and activated the card, [Blade Without Edge].

The massive black blade fell into his palm, and the air in the entire training ground seemed to grow heavy. Before the students could panic, Cao Bingyi called out to reassure them:

"Students, don't panic! Feeling heavy and having difficulty moving are normal phenomena."

This is Director Chi Tengzhou's card, "Blade Without Edge," which comes with the field effect "Domain of Sinking"—increasing gravity within the field by 1.5 times.

It's normal for people to feel uncomfortable.

Bai Miao mobilized his spiritual power to activate the fifth spiritual technique, "Body Like a Swallow," to counteract the effects of the Sinking Domain.

Chi Tengzhou drew his sword and rushed towards Bai Miao, the influence of the Domain of Sinking Power on him was almost negligible.

He wasn't afraid of Bai Miao dodging. With his spiritual energy level, maintaining the Domain of Sinking Force would consume far less spiritual energy than Bai Miao's use of his body to withstand the Domain of Sinking Force.

Plum Blossom Two transformed into specks of light and merged into the training field, Spirit Technique Thirteen condensed into ice blades, and Bai Miao glided on the training field like a figure skater.

Chi Tengzhou slipped and lost his balance. In that instant, the two of spades and the two of hearts left wounds on his body.

Having practiced martial arts for many years, Chi Tengzhou quickly adapted to low friction, but the world in his eyes became a chaotic mess.

The crimson sky was dotted with dark blue clouds, and all the buildings around the training ground were blurred like giant mosaics. Bai Miao and the students turned into dark ghosts.

Bai Miao raised his hand again, and spiritual energy condensed into more than a dozen weapons of different shapes, which he then shot towards Chi Tengzhou.

This time, Chi Tengzhou neither dodged nor blocked. He seemed unaware of Bai Miao's spiritual technique and even took the initiative to meet it head-on.

This hybrid spirit technique combines the power of Spirit Technique Thirteen and Spirit Technique One, resulting in a power level of thirty-five.

Even a third-tier card master would be severely injured if they tried to withstand it with their bare body.

At the critical moment, Chi Tengzhou sensed the fluctuation of spiritual energy and swung his giant blade, shattering all the spiritual energy weapons.

Bai Miao's Bagua formation can not only deduce the opponent's moves, but also conceal spiritual energy fluctuations.

With visual confusion and spiritual energy blocked, ordinary people can hardly detect Bai Miao's spiritual techniques.

Chi Tengzhou simply closed his eyes and relied solely on his hearing to make a judgment.

There were just too many students around the training ground, plus two explanation booths for the compulsory combat course and the elective spiritual arts course, in case things weren't big enough.

The noise was so loud that he couldn't make out Bai Miao's movements at all.

A prolonged stalemate would be disadvantageous to him, so the spiritual pressure of the third-tier card master suddenly erupted, and black light condensed on the bladeless object in his hand.

Chi Tengzhou leaped into the air, activating the ability he gained during the second enhancement of the Bladeless Blade – Heavy Edge.

The blunt blade crashed down like a small mountain of black iron, with tremendous force.

Chi Tengzhou was, after all, a third-tier card master, so Bai Miao's defeat was within everyone's expectations. However, at this moment, everyone still felt a chill for Bai Miao.

Chi Tengzhou used his full strength in this move, without any hesitation.

"Haha, two of diamonds."

"Zhenmenqian - Burst!"

The Zhenmen Qianzhu erupted, and Bai Miao only recently figured out its use. Using it only to unleash Yang Thunder is a waste of its potential.

The thin playing cards collided with the blunt blade, producing a heavy, muffled thud, and an invisible shockwave overturned the group of students surrounding the front row.

Bai Miao raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, saying, "Director Chi is formidable; I am no match for him."

Chi Tengzhou stopped at the right moment; beneath the dark glow of the card, the bladeless weapon was covered with fine cracks.

"I won by luck, and we should spar more in the future." Chi Tengzhou was telling the truth.

As a card master specializing in artifacts, all his strength is concentrated in his cards. The fact that Bai Miao almost shattered the bladeless weapon is enough to demonstrate Bai Miao's strength.

His friction manipulation is comparable to that of a third-tier card master; his cards are unblockable; his visual control is disorienting; his spiritual techniques are endless; and his martial arts are not weak.

He's only level 20. If Bai Miao grows any stronger, he might not be a match for him.

To Bai Miao, Chi Tengzhou, and even all the teachers' surprise, the students displayed an even greater enthusiasm for learning spiritual arts.

The reason why the second-tier card master Bai Miao was able to withstand the third-tier card master Chi Tengzhou for so long was because of his spiritual techniques.

For card masters above the second rank, there are barriers at each rank, and becoming a third-rank card master is extremely difficult.

If spiritual arts can make up for the gap in strength to a certain extent, how can we miss it?

The good news is that Bai Miao used a variety of different spiritual techniques this time, so the students no longer focused on just one technique.

Just when everyone thought the battle was over and the students would disperse, the crowd became even more frenzied than before.

The students shouted out the same name in unison.

"Shi Jindai!"

"Shi Jindai!"

A flawless woman, escorted by bodyguards, walked through the crowd, her face mostly obscured by black sunglasses, exuding star power with every move.

Shi Jindai walked onto the training ground, and her figure appeared on both the combat and spirit magic screens.

She took off her glasses, and the students all gasped in surprise at her beauty.

Bai Miao had never seen anyone as perfect as her. If he had to use any words to describe her, Bai Miao could only think of one.

nice.

Nothing else.

Shi Jindai's voice even had an ethereal quality, causing the crowd to gasp as soon as she spoke.

"Thank you both for allowing me to witness such a wonderful battle at my alma mater. On this occasion, I would like to announce some news to everyone."

I will be participating in the River Lantern Festival as a guest, and I hope everyone can come and support me.
