"It's inevitable. I can lose a few games to reduce the opinions of other card masters in Yandu. However, if my acting is too fake, it will only make people dislike me more."
Lu Yan only asked the opponent card master to pay a price. If he lost, he would not have to pay anything. It was basically a no-cost deal.
There's nothing wrong with losing a few games, but it's too difficult to show that you've tried your best while protecting your secrets.
The cards of Daisy, Fengxi, and Wang Baitao can appear in public, but Lamia has to hide for the time being. The golden card will be too eye-catching if it is taken out during the battle.
Either you wait until you find a secret place to summon it and never take it back, or you don't summon it at all. There are only two options.
Since that’s the case, I’m going to offend him anyway, so I can still get the card.

Chapter 179 Win purely by basic attributes.
——Five hours after entering the arena.
The duel arena fell into silence. Not only the young man who followed Jiang Jiu, but also the other card masters in the arena and the audience watching the live broadcast were all very surprised.
Lu Yan swung the [Qigong Master] card in his hand, glanced around, and finally stopped at Kang Hui, and said with a smile:
"How about we just stop here today and compete again at the Jiang family's annual meeting tomorrow?"
Turning back the time slightly, Lu Yan entered the arena and immediately began to fight with the card masters on the list of heroes. The entire process was broadcast live.
The first challenger was ranked 74th, and the challenger's ranking gradually rose thereafter. In the end, the top-ranked virtual and real assassin was defeated by Lu Yan.
In five hours, he defeated a total of six young heroes. The most important thing was that Lu Yan only used five summoning cards from beginning to end and did not reveal his true strength at all.
They are [Qigong Master], [Ghost Girl], [Shadow Assassin] in Wang Baitao's hand, [Elf Mage], [Light Priest]
The only skill cards used were [Starlight Magic Gravel] and [Moon Return]. It was suspected that [Telepathy] and some amplification skills (Crystal Barrier) were used, and they were of extremely high level.
With so few cards, the majority of the strength lies in the Qigong Master and the Ghost Girl.
[Qigong Master] What kind of dung monster is this? The powerful attack hit her, almost smashing half of her body. But the next second, black and yellow air emerged from her body, and all the damage disappeared.
It's not a human, not a human at all, it's more like some special creature that has transformed into a human form.
There are also the two moves [Dragon Burial of Wild Flowers] and [Red Lotus Karma Shakes the Light], which are matched very well together, and the damage caused by the combo is extremely strong.
The first move is a special effect normal attack. After the normal attack, a large amount of energy can be left in place to prepare for the subsequent big move.
The next move is the ultimate move. When the surrounding area is filled with the huge energy left by the normal attack, Fengxi will directly use the ultimate move to hit the opponent, and even if the opponent does not die, he will be seriously injured.
Then there is the [Ghost Girl], which generally has the following three characteristics: fast speed, a lot of control, strong penetration, and is also a dung monster.
It's very fast, can fly through the air to dodge projectiles, and can block with its sickle. Its long-range scatter attacks won't hit you more than a few times in one go.
The black hands extending from his lower body seemed endless. Once caught, one would feel a chill all over the body. After a short pause, a bunch of hands would come out and hug the person into a ball.
The sickle was even more formidable. With a few swipes, nothing could stop it. Only the ultra-high-strength alloy could barely block it.
However, even if armor, armor, and even close-fitting energy protection blocked it, the sickle still carried true damage, and its direct attack on the soul caused great trouble for everyone.
The most effective way to resist is the spherical energy shield. The problem is that most of the heroes on the list are combat card masters. Even if the spherical shield is activated, they themselves cannot output.
By the way, the endurance of these two guys is also terrifyingly strong. They fought for five hours, and during this time they were only placed in Lu Yan’s chest for a few minutes to "charge".
When he finally defeated the real and virtual assassin, he still had some strength left. He could only barely see that the ghost girl had become a little more transparent and the qigong master's chest was rising and falling more heavily.
In short, the basic attributes are too high and the mechanism is too strong, making it difficult for card makers to imagine how such a perfect card can exist.
As time went on, the live broadcast of this fierce battle became more and more popular, with more and more people watching, sparking heated discussions about where Lu Yan, the hidden genius, came from.
When the card was taken out of the box, everyone was naturally surprised. It turned out that he was a genius from a small place and his luck was really good.
This is Yandu, a city with a profound heritage and the Yandu Magic Academy with strong faculty. If Lu Yan defeats all the people on the list of heroes, doesn't it mean that he can also occupy a place on the list of heroes in Mailong Country?
A cold light flashed in his eyes. Kang Hui really regarded him as his opponent this time. He took a deep breath and smiled, responding to what Lu Yan said after he came out:
"Of course, your cards need a rest too. I don't want to win unfairly."
There will be a performance station at the Jiang family's annual meeting, and Kang Hui will obviously also participate. At that time, the duel between the two of them will definitely be the highlight.
"Okay, the Yingjie meeting ends here, everyone can go back."
Jiang Jiu grinned and held Lu Yan's arms tightly, not letting go. He won completely, and the girl couldn't help but feel a glow on her face.
After everyone had dispersed, Lu Yan sat back in the passenger seat and wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead. Jiang Jiu started the engine and said happily:
"You've been in the spotlight, so I can finally have some peace and quiet. Have you figured out how to deal with Kang Hui? The top three card masters in each city are not on the same level as the ones behind them, let alone Yan City."
"It's not easy to defeat Kang Hui without revealing the Golden Card."
Lu Yan naturally picked up Jiang Jiu's water cup and took a sip. The sweet taste of strawberry milk spread in his mouth. He licked his lips and squinted his eyes:
"Don't worry, sister. I have my own way. I should have a place on the list of heroes in Mailong Country by now."
"Well, your situation is a bit special. You probably have to defeat Kang Hui to get on the list."
Lu Yan tilted his head and searched for himself. His name was indeed not on the list of Mailong Country. Jiang Jiu, who was driving, explained to him.
The List of Heroes is not like some lists that are connected to the fantasy world and the world rules. They can be updated in real time. As a list arranged by humans, the List of Heroes certainly cannot include all young card masters.
Therefore, its initial overall ranking each year will be determined based on the [Pulse Dragon National College Competition] in which various card master academies participate in the summer. Naturally, some card masters who have not attended school cannot join in.
There are actually quite a lot of such card masters. If an idle card master wants to make the list, there is only one way, and that is to defeat the people on the list.
If it is a safe duel, then the defeated card player on the list only needs to use all the cards he used when he was on the list.
The life-and-death battle has become even simpler. As long as there are witnesses, video footage, and official confirmation, an idle card master can kill the card master on the list alone.
In short, the rankings on the list are not necessarily accurate and cannot prove everything. We still have to see actual performance.
Putting away his phone, Lu Yan yawned. His soul energy was being absorbed by the cards he had called out from his chest, and his spirit was gradually weakening.
When he returned to the hotel, he forced himself to take a shower and lay in bed looking for videos about Kang Hui to ensure a smooth tomorrow.
The Jiang family's annual meeting will be held tomorrow. After attending the annual meeting, he can go back to Hujiang City with Jiang Jiu. No matter what, he must defeat [Water Ape] Kang Hui to leave a good ending for his trip to Yandu.

Chapter 180 The tragic past.
"Uncle, long time no see!"
"Wow, you've grown so big in the blink of an eye..."
"Regarding our business, please take good care of us..."
"Haha, that's natural. Let's not talk too much. Come on, let's drink!"
The banquet hall was filled with noisy sounds. Lu Yan and Jiang Jiu huddled in a corner of the hall, with no intention of chatting with anyone. Anyone who wanted to come over would be driven away by Jiang Jiu's fierce gaze.
She had no intention of talking to outside guests as a member of the Jiang family. For her, the farther she could run, the better. Unfortunately, someone just wanted to pester her.
If they really cared about her, they should not care about what she did. That's why Jiang Jiu guessed that some people's flattery and tolerance were for plans that she didn't know about.
Another group of people were forced to retreat. Jiang Jiu took a few deep sips of the strawberry milk. Lu Yan, who was wearing an ordinary dress, kept his eyes on Kang Hui, shaking the orange juice in his hand silently.
"If you think it's dangerous now, you still have a chance to regret it. This sinister kid will definitely target you and attack you personally. If he ends up crippling you, I won't be able to avenge myself."
"The Kang family is weaker than the Jiang family, but I alone definitely can't compare to the entire Kang family."
Jiang Jiu came over and showed concern for the boy. Lu Yan rubbed his fingers and said, "No, I was just wondering if the other party would refuse to pay and not let me take his card."
"Not really. The Kang family is wealthy and powerful. Just don't kill this guy. It's said that his card mastering talent is legendary, and he can increase the strength of cards with elements like water and ice. As long as he survives, the Kang family will have nothing to say."
The lights suddenly went out and the banquet hall fell silent. As the stage lights came on, a middle-aged man with a serious expression stood in front of the microphone, patted the microphone, smiled and began to speak.
Lu Yan had already heard Jiang Jiu introduce that the person on the stage was her father, and the lady with gold earrings sitting in front of her was her mother. These two old guys had secured their position as the head of the family by sacrificing her.
He came to the manor with Jiang Jiu early this morning. She was called away by her former good friend, and Lu Yan was entrusted to his younger brother Jiang Ying. From the conversation with Jiang Ying, the boy also learned the details of the incident and how Jiang Jiu and the Jiang family became enemies.
The retired former head of the family, Jiang Jiu's great-grandfather, and the most imposing old man Lu Yan had ever met in the old people's hall. He was in crisis in order to integrate and evolve a difficult-to-integrate cultivation technique [Four Vortexes Covering the Sea].
Because of the wrong method, the great grandfather was about to die, which was undoubtedly a disaster for the Jiang family, so they chose to seek help from the card master who had the [Star Upgrade Talent].
The tips given by the card master were [Direct Bloodline] [Legendary Fire, Rock Talent] [Place Next to You]. The three tips were concise and clear enough. After searching around, only Jiang Jiu had the Fire Talent.
As a result, after hearing her parents' advice, she realized that resistance was futile, so she took the initiative to enter the card area called "Between Tianshui".
Under the gazes of the crowd, as she approached the old man, the terrifying cold air and moisture were all drawn away from the old man's body due to her talent as a card master and merged into her body.
The excessive cold and water elements completely froze her in the crystal composed of energy. The great grandfather successfully integrated the cultivation technique and broke through to the 8-star card master.
As far as Lu Yan is concerned, his elder sister is too kind-hearted. If he had parents like that, he would have killed his father and mother long ago.
Li Jing could still say that Nezha was born naughty and the fault was not entirely his, but what about Jiang Jiu's parents? They used family justice to make the twelve-year-old Jiang Jiu sacrifice her life, which can only be said to be selling their daughter for fame and fortune.
No one cared about Jiang Jiu. Even the great-grandfather just took a look and shouted a few words at the beginning about trying to find a way to save her, but he didn't care anymore after that.
Jiang Ying's original words were not like this. Lu Yan chose to make a preconceived notion. If an 8-star card master really cared about it, it would be impossible for him to not rescue the person for twenty years.
In short, more than 20 years have passed since then, and one day, Jiang Jiu, who was trapped in the ice, finally broke out on his own.
When she came out, flames were burning. Her original talent as a card master was further enhanced. She became violent, fierce and even crazy. After more than ten years of self-cultivation, she gradually returned to normal.
After breaking the seal, she completely cut off contact with the Jiang family and chose to leave directly. She spent the most difficult ten years on her own without relying on any help from the Jiang family. Finally, she became the current 6-star card master.
The credibility of the whole story should be high enough. After all, this is what Jiang Ying said, and he has no need to lie to Lu Yan.
There is another very important point. After breaking the seal, Jiang Jiu made a living by harvesting cards from the card domain just like him. Lu Yan suddenly realized that the store manager was probably willing to contact and help him in the beginning because he felt that he was also a miserable person.
I don’t know how the girl managed to survive. When Lu Yan thought about it, he felt that his beloved sister was so pitiful.
Lu Yan was distracted and didn't notice that Jiang Jiu's father's eyes were always glancing over here. He saw that neither of them cared about his speech, and he suddenly became angry.
Remembering the old ancestor's previous instructions, Jiang Jiu's father suppressed his anger, smiled and raised his hand to point at the two people. The lights turned on and they subconsciously raised their hands to block them:
"My daughter is back this year, and she brought her boyfriend with her. According to past practice, I will invite Brother Lu Yan to be the candidate for the exhibition match. Jiu, please ask your boyfriend to come up."
I will agree to you if you kneel down and kowtow nine times.
Jiang Jiu opened her mouth, and Lu Yan held her shoulders, lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "Okay, sister, I'm going now."
Lu Yan put his face close to hers and rubbed her lightly for a few times. Amidst the various gazes of the crowd, he stood up, walked onto the stage with a smile on his face, nodded to the guests in the room, and then turned to Jiang Jiu's father:
"Mr. Jiang Wei, where is my opponent?"
"Why don't you say hello to everyone first? You've been very popular recently."
Jiang Wei reached out and tried to pat Lu Yan's shoulder, but was dodged sideways. He shook his head and turned to the crowd with an apologetic smile:
"Forget it, I'm not good at talking."
Lu Yan is not very good at speaking. Compared with giving speeches, he is more accustomed to showing his true strength in action.
With a flash of anger in his eyes, Jiang Wei stretched out his hand to signal Kang Hui on the other side. He stood out from the crowd, took off his outer suit like Lu Yan, and stepped onto the stage on tiptoe to stand opposite Lu Yan.
"Kang Hui, this should be your second meeting with Lu Yan, is there anything you want to say?"
"Brother Lu Yan, I admire you very much, especially your powerful card..."
Seeing that the person on the other side was about to start a long speech again, Lu Yan's eyes became vague again. It was not that he was deliberately provoking him, but he was really not interested in speeches and could not listen to any of them.
Seeing this, Kang Hui raised his hand to brush his long blue hair, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes. The intense murderous intent made the erratic Lu Yan suddenly come back to his senses, and his eyes collided with Kang Hui in the air.

Chapter 181 Interests take precedence over feelings.
"That's it. I hope to give you all a wonderful performance. Of course, I won't lose."
After the speech, Kang Hui and Lu Yan remained restrained at least in front of others. No matter how the fight turned out, they had to at least maintain a certain degree of politeness in front of everyone.
"Oh, let me make it clear first. I'm still going to follow the old rules. If you lose, Mr. Kang Hui, I need to obtain one of your powerful cards. What do you think?"
Kang Hui stopped and looked at Lu Yan with a cold gaze: "No problem, but I also have a request here. If I beat you up, don't let Ms. Jiang Jiu come to trouble me."
Finally, there was a sense of tit-for-tat. The audience, who had been drowsy due to the speech, also became excited. They twisted their buttocks to sit properly to prevent falling, and leaned forward to observe the two people's conditions.
One is a stranger who suddenly became famous in Yan City, and the other is Kang Hui, the third-ranked [Water Ape]. The audience all hope to see Kang Hui beating up the stranger.
There were few people who supported Lu Yan, but there were some. He turned around and looked at Jiang Jiu. The pink-haired girl swung her fist hard, signaling him to beat the opponent completely.
The two of them entered the pale duel space together. Kang Hui suddenly said, "The Jiang family's screen hasn't come out yet. Lv Yan, should we talk?"
Lu Yan did not refuse, he was actually a little confused:
"Okay, I'm actually quite surprised. I understand that people from small families want to take a gamble and use Sister Jiang to improve their own families. But your Kang family is one of the powerful families. Even if it's a little worse than the Jiang family, it's not that bad."
