Card Master: My Special Feature - Choose One of Three

Jiao Beiyao found a quiet spot outside the venue, took out a lighter, and the flame flickered.

"Brother, can I borrow a light?" Mint-scented smoke swirled around his fingertips as Song Zhixing squatted down beside Jiao Beiyao.

In a corner of the venue, where students were coming and going, two young men sat silently, puffing on cigarettes.

Jiao Beiyao beckoned to the grass not far away, and a silver metal spike pierced a black beetle.

The beetle waved its limbs and struggled frantically, its shrill hiss sounding less like insect chirps and more like several human voices overlapping.

"Why kill it? There are so many bugs that you can't kill them all. If you kill one now, four or five more will pop up later."

Song Zhixing stood up and dusted off imaginary dust as the announcement of the end of intermission echoed throughout the stadium.

"Thank you for the fire. I have something to do, so I'll go inside first."

Jiao Beiyao crushed another black beetle that crawled to his feet with his foot and spat in front of the trash can.

"It's disgusting, it smells like bedbugs everywhere."

Silver light flashed in Jiao Beiyao's eyes. Within the range of his spiritual energy, silver spikes rose from the ground in the damp sand and grass, and in the dark corners of the venue, piercing and crushing all the black beetles.

The stench emanating from the insect corpses mingled with the foul spiritual energy that permeated the air.

Pinky covered its nose, and its tail drooped down to help Whitey cover its nose as well. "It smells awful."

They covered their mouths and noses while laughing and joking.

Kalings have a more acute perception of spiritual energy than Kashi.

The stench in the air vanished in a flash, and Bai Miao had barely caught a whiff of it when Jiao Beiyao returned to the audience, reeking of smoke.

In the medical ward, Song Zhixing saw Jiao Beiyao sitting next to Bai Miao, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

In the preparation area of ​​Jingshui University, Wu Sisi comforted the Bright Unicorn.

The 2V2 cooperative battle is about to begin, and Cao Bingyi steps onto the stage to host.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting, our intense and exciting 2V2 cooperative battle is about to begin. Let's welcome the participating players from both sides to the stage!"

In the 1V1 singles match, Wu Sisi impressed the audience with her meticulous thinking and formidable strength.

This year's seven-school exchange was more competitive than in previous years, with Tier 2 card masters from Yujiang University, Liubo University, and Jingshui University participating.

With the Jiangdeng Festival approaching, the two major events are mutually attracting each other, and the venue for the seven-school exchange competition is packed.

光幕上两队比分2：1，如果镜水大学能够拿下2场2V2的胜利，总分到达6分，便能提前锁定胜局。

Jingshui University's team was the first to take the stage, with Wu Sisi and Shen Qiao stepping onto the battle platform.

With their second-tier card master and wielder of the Calamity Device, Jing Shui University's tactics are extremely stable, and they do not intend to directly take the 4 points in the 2V2 cooperative battle.

Let the two strongest players on the team take the first two points, and then decide the outcome in the final 6V6 simulated Spirit Realm Showdown.

Their opponents are You Xi and Zhu Haoxuan from Changhuai University.

Bai Miao had some impression of You Xi; she had a gentle personality and had been comforting Qian Qianqian after their previous conflict.

She is also a member of the Changhuai City Special Operations Bureau, so her abilities must be considerable.

You Xi stood opposite Wu Sisi. As a member of the Special Operations Bureau, she believed that she was no less capable than Wu Sisi.

Zhu Haoxuan walked with his feet turned outwards, his brows furrowed, his eyes darting around as if searching for something, and he kept scratching his hair and the back of his neck.

The dice that were used to select the map rolled back and forth, eventually landing on the Arrows Shooting Range.

The audience gasped repeatedly.

The video of the fight between Lü Dantong and Luo Zhen a few days ago has garnered a considerable number of views online.

With her pure and innocent appearance, Lü Dantong achieved a crushing victory through an almost self-destructive method.

With the strength of a first-tier card master, he defeated a second-tier card master.

The crossbow bolts in the Barrage Shooting Range were so powerful that even a second-tier card master couldn't withstand them; the sheer terror of this map left a deep impression on the audience.

Cao Bingyi announced the start of the battle.

Youxi leaped back several meters and activated the card [Yanghuo Banner]. A large, bright red banner with golden cloud patterns along its edges was erected between Youxi and Zhu Haoxuan, unleashing a fire array with a radius of tens of meters.

Within a radius of several tens of meters centered on the Yang Fire Flag, non-attribute spiritual energy was converted into fire-attribute spiritual energy, and crimson fire patterns danced within the array.

"Yang Fire Blessing Command, Arise!"

The flag cast a crimson-gold light, enveloping Zhu Haoxuan within it.

The audience members noticed that Youxi's [Yanghuo Flag] had gained a new ability, Yanghuo Blessing, outside of its original Yanghuo Domain.

Youxi has also advanced to the second-tier card master. Changhuai University is really hiding its strength.

With Youxi, a second-tier support card master, on the team, Changhuai University's chances of winning in 2V2 and 6V6 have increased significantly.

A high-level support card master can play a much greater role in multiplayer battles than a combat card master.

Black mist rose from Zhu Haoxuan's head, and You Xi sensed the turbid spiritual energy within the black mist rising from him.

Zhu Haoxuan, however, found a moment of peace. The noisy meshing sounds around him fell silent the instant the crimson-gold light descended.

Crimson gold flames rose from beneath his feet, and thick smoke billowed across the battlefield.

Zhu Haoxuan's card, [Controlling Fire and Smoke], can manipulate Yang Fire under the influence of the Yang Fire Flag.

The figures of both sides were shrouded in thick smoke on the battlefield. Zhu Haoxuan's Yang Fire, under the cover of the thick smoke, transformed into more than a dozen fire eagles and swooped down on Wu Sisi and Shen Qiao.

Beside Wu Sisi stood the Radiant Unicorn, its horn emitting a beam of light that dispelled the thick smoke that enveloped Jing Shui University's side of the field.

The fire eagle swooped down from the thick smoke, and the multifaceted prism-shaped light mirrors formed a refractive barrier that protected Wu Sisi and Shen Qiao.

A dozen or so psionic light arrows skillfully passed by the fire hawk, following its trajectory as it flew, and shot into the thick smoke.

The silver ring on Shen Qiao's index finger transformed into a longbow, and her card [Sharp Edge] could imbue matter with the attribute of sharpness, complementing the calamity weapon, the Silver Ring.

Dodo—

The sound of arrows piercing the ground echoed continuously, and the first volley of arrows began at the firing range.

Arrows rained down, and Wu Sisi wrapped her arm around Shen Qiao. The Radiant Unicorn carried the two of them as they dodged through the rain of arrows. Arrows that could not be dodged were intercepted by the Refraction Barrier.

The Light Unicorn doesn't allow anyone other than Wu Sisi to ride her. Wu Sisi's actions were borderline, but the Light Unicorn didn't take it too seriously.

The thick smoke was shattered by the rain of arrows, and the Yang Fire transformed into a giant net beneath the smoke, incinerating all the crossbow bolts that came close.

The metal arrows formed by the Quicksilver Ring turned into molten iron under the scorching heat of the Sunfire.

The two sides were evenly matched, and the battle was extremely intense. He Changlin was curious about Bai Miao's judgment.

"Captain, which team do you think will win this match?"

"Jingshui University has a higher chance of winning," Bai Miao's eyes flashed with a dark golden light. With [Shared Vision] activated, he keenly noticed several rapidly expanding black lines in Zhu Haoxuan's tangled web of fate.

Bai Miao was extremely familiar with this kind of thread of fate, which consists of two or more threads of fate intertwined into one.

This is precisely the unique thread of destiny of the All Souls' Lord's Envoy.

"Brother Jiao, that male player on the field has traces of All Souls Society on him."

Any of the leaders of the Myriad Spirits Society are at the third level, while Bai Miao is only at the second level, so he had no choice but to ask Jiao Beiyao for help.

"Your senses are pretty sharp," Jiao Beiyao said, raising the corners of his mouth to reveal his shark-like white teeth. "You noticed it too, he smells like bedbugs."

No man doesn't want to be the older brother, and with Bai Miao calling him "Brother Jiao," Jiao Beiyao had no choice but to show off his skills.
