Card Master: My Special Feature - Choose One of Three

"This is Jiao Beiyao, a special agent from the Shenjing Special Operations Bureau."

Bai Miao introduced Jiao Beiyao to his teammates, and everyone greeted Jiao Beiyao.

Zhang Yixin quickly got up and made room for him to move aside.

As the core of the Shenzhou Alliance, the special agents of the Shenjing City Special Operations Bureau must be at least fourth-tier card masters.

Jiao Beiyao is so young, her future is limitless.

He was handsome and roguish, and countless women in the capital city threw themselves at him.

"Never mind me, I heard the River Lantern Festival in Yujiang City is coming soon, I'm going to do some research."

The student girls don't know the benefits of being mature. The River Lantern Festival is such a big festival, there are sure to be many discerning beauties from the South District coming to have fun.

Lu Dantong instinctively sensed the dangerous aura emanating from Jiao Beiyao, and her smile remained polite and distant.

Xia Yuebai looked at Jiao Beiyao with a probing gaze.

Although both the Bai and Jiang families have some background, Bai's parents did not develop within the Three Departments system.

Bai Miao was not good at scheming; he only knew that the Secret Service had three factions: Yun, Jian, and Heng.

The Jiang family belongs to the Yun vein represented by Yun Chuxiu.

Bai Miao didn't know which faction the others belonged to.

Jiao Beiyao was sent by the Shenjing Special Service Bureau after Yun Chuxiu reported to them. He subconsciously assumed that Jiao Beiyao was a member of the Yunmai.

Although the Xia family's roots are in the military, they also have some understanding of the internal power structure of the Secret Service.

Jiao Beiyao, a special agent of the Shenjing Special Operations Bureau and a fourth-tier card master, is a representative figure of Hengmai.

Jiangdeng Spirit Realm is a spirit realm under the control of Yunmai.

With the opening of the Jiangdeng Spirit Realm imminent, Xia Yuebai couldn't understand why the Hengmai Sect of the Divine Capital City had sent a fourth-tier card master.

If Hengmai dares to send people, how could Yunmai possibly agree?

Bai Miao shared the popcorn he bought from the volunteers with everyone, and Xia Yuebai was impressed by his generosity.

"Eh? You are—Jiao Beiyao." Yan Jin arrived late, and as expected of Bai Miao's friend, she was carrying two hands full of snacks.

"There are some discerning people here," Jiao Beiyao said, tilting his head to what he considered his most handsome angle to show Yan Jin his sharp jawline.

Yan Jin found a seat furthest from Jiao Beiyao and gestured for Bai Miao to sit there.

"Jiao Beiyao is a typical 'normie' type. If we rats get too close to him, we'll become unlucky."

Jiao Beiyao's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He opened a dating app and sought comfort from a young lady.

During the match, Cao Bingyi rested for a few days and his voice returned to its peak. He then announced the first 1V1 match to begin.

Changhuai University fielded their captain Qiu Sheng, while Jingshui University fielded Wu Sisi.

Qiu Sheng's fists clenched and unclenched at his sides, and the two dark patches under his armpits on his gray combat uniform indicated his tension.

Wu Sisi remained calm, showing no contempt for Qiu Sheng; even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit.

The dice that select a map on the light screen rolled and finally settled on the lush bamboo forest.

Countless green bamboos rose from the ground on the battlefield. The bamboos, as thick as an adult's arm, were incredibly tough and lush, engulfing Wu Sisi and Qiu Sheng in shadow.

"This map is Qiu Sheng's advantageous map," He Changlin habitually shared game information with Bai Miao.

After Bai Miao and He Changlin became acquainted, Bai Miao discovered that this cool guy was quite talkative, and because he didn't have many friends, he was even more talkative in front of Bai Miao.

"The bamboo forest obstructs the view, making it difficult for Wu Sisi's [Light Unicorn] [Refracting Burst] to hit the target when the vision is blocked."

First and second-tier card masters mostly lock onto targets using line of sight.

Card masters like Bai Miao, who use psychic energy and threads of fate to lock onto their opponents, are extremely rare.

Wu Sisi rode on the back of the Light Unicorn, whose horn on its forehead was surrounded by specks of psionic light.

Unicorns are nature's darlings, able to communicate with the plants in the forest.

Qiu Sheng activated his spiritual technique, "Five Forms - Body Like a Swallow," and silently approached Wu Sisi in the shadows of the bamboo forest.

"There's a chance!" He raised his hand and shot out a stream of light, and in response he was shot out a white arrow of light from his horn.

The arrow of light zigzaggled through the bamboo forest, striking precisely at Qiu Sheng, who was hiding in the shadows.

A large hole was punched in the surface of the bamboo, and Qiu Sheng's figure disappeared from his original spot and flashed behind Wu Sisi.

Spiritual Technique Thirteen - Spiritual Soldier, activated.

The psionic energy transformed into two daggers, and Qiu Sheng turned around and swiftly thrust the daggers towards Wu Sisi's back.

"That stream of light is Qiu Sheng's card [Dual-Phase Split Spear]. It holds one of the two splitting spears and can teleport the card master to the location of the other splitting spear."

Cao Bingyi's explanation answered the questions in the minds of viewers who were unfamiliar with Qiu Sheng.

"Wu Sisi is going to be in trouble," Zhang Yixin thought, his heart pounding as the confrontation was about to erupt.

Bai Miao chewed on popcorn, the caramel flavor making it crunchy and delicious.

Click.

With a crisp sound, Qiu Sheng was imprisoned in the [Refraction Barrier]. The dagger struck the light barrier but couldn't even leave a scratch.

"【Refractive Barrier】can be used like this?" Bai Miao raised an eyebrow. "It's a barrier to protect yourself, but it's a cage to protect your opponent."

Wu Sisi's [Refractive Barrier] once blocked Li Xun's [Falling Star Sword] attack, making it virtually impossible for Qiu Sheng to break free of the cage.

Qiu Sheng feigned impotence and rage, frantically hacking at the barrier before flashing back to where he had disappeared.

A dozen or so orbs of light enveloped him, creating a dead end. He could only teleport between the orb array and the [Refraction Barrier], and there was no way he could escape Wu Sisi's grasp.

Qiu Sheng raised his hands in surrender, "You won, I was simply outmatched."

Losing to a second-tier card master is not shameful, the referee announced the result of the match.

Lillie, the teacher leading the team from Jingshui University, wore an extremely proud smile. The director of the live broadcast cleverly broadcast this scene, causing a gasp of surprise.

The newly assigned teacher from Changhuai University was a middle-aged man in his fifties who seemed very kind. He patted Qiu Sheng on the shoulder reassuringly.

In the next two 1V1 matches, Zhu Haoxuan from Changhuai University defeated Lin Jing from Jingshui University to win a point and tie the score.

Shen Qiao from Jingshui University defeated Yu Cheng from Changhuai University, taking back a point.

The two teams were evenly matched, and the score was very close.

During halftime, Jiao Beiyao furtively took her phone to the restroom.

With the spiritual energy perception and speed of a fourth-tier card master, it wouldn't take more than a few minutes to sense the abnormal spiritual energy fluctuations and arrive at the scene.

Xia Yuebai reminded Bai Miao, "Jiao Beiyao is from the Hengmai faction. The Special Operations Bureau and Yunjian factions are vying for power, and the Hengmai faction remains neutral. Yujiang City is in a sensitive period, and Jiao Beiyao's arrival at this time is likely for ulterior motives."

Bai Miao couldn't tell Xia Yuebai about Bugs Bunny, so he could only reply, "I'll be careful, thank you for your concern."

"Who cares about you?" Xia Yuebai turned her head away, took Lü Dantong's hand, and left the table.

From the moment Bai Miao decided to report Bugs Bunny's news to Yun Chuxiu, he was prepared to become Yunmai's private property.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

The risks and benefits associated with a forbidden spiritual realm are too numerous for Bai Miao to handle.

Bugs Bunny alone has the ability to kill him silently.

He needs protection, and Yunmai, with its relationship with Yun Chuxiu and Jiang Nianqing, is his best choice.

Jiao Beiyao's arrival means that Hengmai and even Jianmai know about his connection with the Strange Forest.

After the Yun and Jian factions had a power struggle, they finally asked the Heng faction to send someone over.

This might be a good thing for him.
