Mythical Card Maker: Starting with the Mountain Spirit

Chapter 90 Rewards

As the light faded, the six figures gradually revealed themselves.

From left to right, there is a golden-armored giant carrying a bow and sword, wearing a wave-patterned battle robe.

A military general with broad shoulders and a thick waist, wearing a straw raincoat and holding an eighteen-foot iron spear.

A woman in plain clothes, wearing a silkworm cocoon crown and wrapped in silver threads, with a gentle and solemn demeanor, holding a mulberry branch in her hand.

A jet-black serpent, its eyes like lanterns, its tongue flicking, and its body several meters long, covered in scales.

A towering octagonal ancient pagoda, and a group of archers in black armor holding long spears.

Many people in the examination hall were clearly quite familiar with the Wu Yue Qian family, and they exclaimed in surprise the moment they saw these few spirit cards.

"That golden-armored giant must be the Qian family's legacy summoning card, right? Qian Liu, the founding monarch of the Wuyue Kingdom, known as King Wusu? His aura is even stronger than that of Confucius from Kongxi!"

"That tower must be the renowned Liuhe Pagoda. It's said to be both offensive and defensive, and it even has a combat aura. It's quite famous among the inherited buildings of the Qian family of Wuyue!"

"Qian Guanhai has unleashed all six of his cards, and they're all purple cards. It seems he wants to win this battle quickly. I wonder how Lin Mo will respond. If he still relies on those three cards, the outcome will likely be decided very soon!"

"Qian Guanhai can actually control six cards simultaneously; his mental strength is truly extraordinary! He's probably not far from reaching the mid-level Bronze rank, right?"

While the audience in the stands were discussing this, Lin Mo had already made his move and summoned the National Mourning Legion.

In an instant, several beams of light condensed and took shape, transforming into ancient soldiers clad in rhinoceros armor and wielding Wu spears.

"Legion Card!"

"Lin Mo also has a Legion Card, this is going to be interesting!"

"But is that all? Four against six, we're outnumbered!"

"Lin Mo is ultimately inferior to those scions of aristocratic families. He has too few cards to use, his deck is not comprehensive enough, and he doesn't even have building cards. He'll be at a disadvantage in positional warfare!"

"So they've been hiding a Legion card? Interesting, but it's still not enough!"

Qian Guanhai pondered for a moment, and with a thought, the octagonal tower suddenly shone with golden light.

Golden streaks of light shot out from the tower and entered the body of the Kaling on his side.

The next instant, a powerful wave of energy emanated from it.

A golden ring appeared out of thin air beneath the feet of the card spirits summoned by Qian Guanhai.

This is precisely the skill "Golden Light Shines Everywhere" of the Six Harmonies Pagoda.

It can grant allied card spirits the "High Morale" status, temporarily increasing their attack power.

Just as the golden halo took shape, the golden-armored giant and the general wielding the eighteen-foot iron spear took the lead and appeared in front of Lin Mo in a few quick steps.

The golden-armored giant suddenly drew his sword from his waist and swung it forward, sending a streak of snow-white sword light shooting out like a bolt of lightning.

The sword energy was so dazzling and brilliant that it swept away all the air in its path, leaving only a blanket of white.

It was none other than Qian Liu's signature move, "A Sword's Light Chills Across Fourteen Provinces."

The line "A hall full of flowers intoxicates three thousand guests, a sword's frost chills fourteen provinces" written by the monk Guanxiu describes Qian Liu's unparalleled domineering nature.

This poem was later used by the descendants of the Qian family of Wuyue as the name of the unique skill passed down from their ancestors.

As the sword light suddenly appeared, the general raised his spear high and thrust it out like a dragon emerging from the sea.

Faced with the attacks of the two spirit cards, Lin Mo remained calm and composed, his spiritual power gushing out from within him.

A golden barrier unfolded, and two gilded doors suddenly took shape.

"Clang! Bang!"

Two muffled thuds rang out, and the gilded door trembled, ultimately managing to block the two powerful attacks.

"I knew you'd use this trick!"

Qian Guanhai showed no surprise on his face, but a thought flashed through his mind.

The black serpent with scales vanished suddenly, and in the next instant, it appeared directly in front of the two gilded doors, opening its mouth to exhale a cloud of black smoke.

The black smoke spread rapidly as soon as it adhered to the gilded doors, and in no time, black bubbles appeared on the two gilded doors.

In the blink of an eye, it was completely corroded and turned into wisps of black smoke that dissipated.

"What? Lin Mo's defensive skill was actually broken? This is the first time it's been broken, right?"

"As expected of a top player who made it to the finals, his thinking is truly unique. While others are trying to figure out how to let Lin Mo have this move, he takes the initiative, forcing Lin Mo into a defensive posture, and then figuring out how to break Lin Mo's skill. It's brilliant!"

"Does anyone know where this snake came from? That black mist was terrifying! Luckily it only sprayed onto the shield; if it had sprayed onto Kaling, he would have been skinned alive!"

"It must be a skill specifically designed to break through shields and restrictions. Qian Guanhai has watched Lin Mo's previous matches, so he'll definitely have some targeted cards prepared. That black snake was probably created to counter Lin Mo's Guardian card!"

Lin Mo was somewhat surprised, clearly not expecting that the opponent could so easily neutralize Shen Cha Yu Lei's ultimate move.

In his memory, unless it was several stars higher, it would be difficult to break through the defensive gates of Shencha Yulei.

However, he was only briefly surprised and quickly forgot about it. Compared to defense, his forte was actually offense.

After all, he has four main battle cards, three of which are damage cards.

With a thought, the Mountain Spirit, Shen Tu, and Yu Lei all summoned their respective summoned beasts.

After breaking through to the Bronze rank, both the Crimson Leopard and the Devouring Black Tiger received enhancements, with significant increases in attack, defense, and health.

The previous situation of being easily defeated will no longer occur, and it can obviously play a role in harassment and restraint.

As soon as the three ancient spirit beasts appeared, they pounced on the golden-armored giant, the spear-wielding warrior, and the black scaly snake in front of them.

As for the Mountain Spirit, Lu Wu, and Shen Tu and Yu Lei, they launched an attack on Qian Guanhai himself.

The principle of "capture the king first" applies equally to card battles.

Qian Guanhai clearly saw through Lin Mo's intentions and instantly retreated, hiding directly inside the octagonal tower.

This building card can not only boost your own card spirits, but also provide a sanctuary in critical moments.

At the same time, he seemed to feel uneasy, and a thought crossed his mind.

The previously attacking scaly serpents, golden-armored giants, and spear-wielding generals forced back their opponents, and with a leap, they instantly arrived in front of the [Six Harmonies Pagoda].

"What a pity!"

Lin Mo shook his head, looking regretful.

Qian Guanhai's handling of the situation was indeed brilliant, forcing him to abandon his current plans.

After a moment's hesitation, Lin Mo immediately commanded Shan Gui, Lu Wu, and Shen Cha Yu Lei to launch a full-scale attack on the enemy's Ka Ling.

Since the card master has become a coward, the same applies to dealing with the card spirit. As long as you can defeat the opponent's card spirit, you can win this match as well.

In an instant, a shockwave of divine power spread outwards, sweeping across the surrounding area.

"Qian Guanhai is in danger! This skill can forcibly interrupt the opponent's current action, essentially freezing them in place—it's incredibly powerful!"

"I wonder how Qian Guanhai will handle this. If he doesn't handle it properly, there might be casualties. The area-of-effect damage from Lin Mo's two cards is usually too much for most card spirits to handle!"

Exclamations of surprise erupted from the stands.

However, compared to the startled audience, Qian Guanhai appeared much more composed.

With a wave of his hand, a seven-colored prism flew out of thin air, grew larger in the wind, and flashed in front of his own Kaling, actually deflecting Lu Wu's divine power shockwave back.

"Impressive! Qian Guanhai used that equipment card at the perfect time!"

-

"This must be the seventh card he's used already; his skill level is truly impressive!"

"Equipment card?"

Lin Mo's eyes flickered slightly, and his spiritual power poured out like a river.

In an instant, a dazzling light ignited on Lu Wu's body.

A phantom of an imperial capital slowly condensed above his head, finally taking shape with a roar.

It transformed into a meteorite and plummeted forward.

"Vajra Pagoda!"

Qian Guanhai let out a low shout.

[Liuhe Pagoda] Suddenly, lamps lit up one after another on the pagoda's body. The lights lit up one after another, and finally transformed into a huge Vajra Pagoda, which enveloped all the other Kalings.

"Bang!"

The illusory image of the capital city collided violently with the Vajra Pagoda, unleashing an invisible wave of energy.

The Vajra Pagoda held on for a moment before shattering with a deafening crash.

-

The illusory image of the capital city dimmed slightly, but its momentum remained undiminished, continuing to crush forward.

Qian Guanhai's expression changed drastically, and a thought flashed through his mind.

The golden-armored giant immediately plunged his longsword into the ground, and a massive phantom of the Money King's Causeway instantly materialized, blocking his path. "Bang!"

Another loud bang was heard, and the entire platform seemed to tremble slightly, with countless rays of light flowing around it.

After the shimmering light faded, both the illusory image of the capital and the Qianwang Causeway vanished completely.

"My turn next!"

Qian Guanhai's eyes narrowed, and the team of crossbowmen in black armor and carrying spears immediately stepped forward, loaded their bolts, and fired them in the direction of Lin Mo.

With a series of whooshing sounds, black crossbow bolts, like meteors falling to the ground, swept in like a tidal wave, accompanied by a fierce gust of wind.

"Well done!"

Lin Mo's lips curled up slightly, and the Vajra Bracelet in his hand suddenly flew out, growing larger in the wind and spinning rapidly.

A suction field resembling a black hole instantly formed.

As soon as the arrows approached, they were all absorbed by the suction field. It was the Vajra Bracelet's skill [Return of All Treasures], which could forcibly absorb ranged attacks.

"What?"

Qian Guanhai's pupils contracted sharply, clearly not expecting this to happen, and he instinctively cried out in surprise.

Upon seeing this, Lin Mo immediately ordered the National Mourning Legion to launch a chariot and cavalry formation.

In an instant, six bronze chariots appeared out of thin air. The National Mourning Legion members flashed, straddled the chariots, and charged forward.

"A triple volley!"

Qian Guanhai shouted, and the archers loaded three bolts in unison.

call out!call out!call out!

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out one after another.

Unlike the previous volleys, this round of triple shots was layered, with the arrow tips enveloped in a chilling aura of spiritual energy.

The arrows flew with increasing ferocity.

This is the ultimate burst of fire from the [King Qian's Crossbowman], combining armor penetration, formation breaking, and force reduction effects into one, specifically designed to counter heavily armored units.

However, Lin Mo's expression remained unchanged. With a thought, he suddenly threw out the Vajra Bracelet.

The barrage of crossbow bolts was immediately forcibly collected inside.

Qian Guanhai's face darkened completely, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

His legion card, which he relied on for victory, was perfectly countered by a single equipment card from the opponent.

Before long, the bronze chariots carrying the National Mourning Legion arrived in front of the [Six Harmonies Pagoda].

Six chariots drove side by side, their powerful spiritual energy surging towards them, their wheels rumbling through the void.

At the same time, Shan Gui, Shen Tu Yu Lei, and Lu Wu flashed in from other directions, completely cutting off Qian Guan Hai's retreat.

"Qian Guanhai is really in danger this time!"

"I didn't expect Lin Mo to have a hidden equipment card, which completely countered the opponent's legion card, leaving them no room to maneuver!"

"You think you can defeat me? Not so easy!"

A ruthless glint flashed across Qian Guanhai's face, and his spiritual power surged forth.

In the next instant, countless dazzling lights burst forth from his Kaling body, and the golden-armored giant swung his sword, once again unleashing the [One Sword Light Chills Fourteen Provinces] technique.

The woman in plain clothes summoned silkworm cocoons to create shields for everyone. The general with the spear slammed his iron spear into the ground, causing several cracks to appear beneath his feet, from which a wall of spiritual energy surged forth.

The Six Harmonies Pagoda shone with golden light, releasing a circular shockwave, while the [King Qian's Archer] conjured a giant golden arrow phantom.

-

"Bang bang bang!"

A violent shockwave swept outwards, denting and cracking the combat platform.

After the smoke cleared, Qian Guanhai was pale and collapsed to the ground, all the spiritual energy around him dimmed. In contrast, Lin Mo's aura was normal and he was unharmed.

The outcome of Dun's victory or defeat is already quite clear.

"Qian Guanhai has lost!"

"Lin Mo is really amazing!"

The audience in the stands were buzzing with discussion and erupted in applause.

Soon, Vice Dean Lu Yu walked up to the stands and announced the rankings for this freshman ranking competition.

The first place went to Lin Mo, the second to Qian Guanhai, and the third to Kong hope.
