Dancing with the Rising Sun

Chapter 659 - 442: The Challenge that Captivates the Masses, "Mechanism Dismantling"!_2


Wan Wenyi stepped inside and looked over at Jiang Yuan, who was intently watching the battle on the field.


He was quite clear about what his opponent looked like after watching Jiang Yuan's previous few battles.


Wan Wenyi smiled confidently, caressing the three cards in his hand, three cards that were absolutely targeted at Jiang Yuan.


"If you become famous in the future, and now lose to me, wouldn't I also have the bragging rights?"


Wan Wenyi's face showed no expression, but inwardly, he was already starting to laugh.


Still, Wan Wenyi is someone who managed to get admitted to Zhongyuan Academy and also broke through to the Sixth Realm.


Very quickly, Wan Wenyi calmed his mind and then began to replay the upcoming battle with Jiang Yuan in his head.


"No problem, if the intelligence is accurate, these three cards combined with my traits are more than enough to defeat Jiang Yuan."


Wan Wenyi took a deep breath, completely settled his mind, and then looked up at the fight in the middle of the arena.


The two in the middle of the field did not know that their fight was being live-streamed across the entire network and were still pecking at each other like amateurs.


However, both the old principal and other academy teachers could tell that the battle was about to end.


"Finally, I can wait for Jiang Yuan's match."


Li Yueying, after glancing at her class schedule, couldn't help but smile: "I just wonder if Jiang Yuan's fight will end quickly, so I can watch the whole thing?"


"What a pity I'm not in the combat department, otherwise I could skip a class outright."


Li Yueying said with a smile, but in fact, some teachers were actually preparing to do just that.


One of the Vice-Principals of the combat department, Jin Lingyu, was now standing on the platform and after pushing up his gold-rimmed glasses, he shared a room with everyone in the group.


"Today, let's watch a fight, which I suspect you all have some understanding of."


Jin Lingyu said, entering the private room of the Virtual Martial Arts Arena's spectator seats, addressing his students who also entered.


"The fight of Jiang Yuan, or rather, the battle of the Card Spirit."


As Jin Lingyu spoke, he smiled a bit: "Of course, it hasn't started yet, we need to wait a bit."


"Also, whatever the lesson is, I'll need to start from their fight. If possible, I will explain to you how to target Jiang Yuan, or the Card Spirit."


Jin Lingyu continued, and the hundreds of sixth-year students in the class began to watch earnestly.


They had originally planned to check it out after class, especially since the official post on the website stated that Jiang Yuan's fight was not limited to just this one.


If nothing unexpected happened today, he would likely fight the whole day.


"Alright, it's over."


In just a moment, the battle on the field was already over.


So whether it was the audience in the Martial Arts Arena or those in the Virtual Martial Arts Arena viewing stands, they couldn't help but get serious.


Jiang Yuan got up in the arena and walked onto the field.


Wan Wenyi did the same.


But compared to before, Wan Wenyi's eyes sparkled with more excitement.


During the waiting time in the Martial Arts Arena just now, he had learned that the Virtual Audience Mode was now activated.


This meant that not only were the people in the audience watching his fight with Jiang Yuan, but others were as well.


This was a great opportunity to become famous!


Although he was just a beginner in the real Shin period, becoming famous earlier is always better. What if some bigshot noticed him and wanted to take him as a disciple?


With his head held high and full of vigor, Wan Wenyi entered the arena. After exchanging names with Jiang Yuan, the two stepped into the Martial Arts Arena.


The audience quieted down for a moment before resuming their discussions.


The barrage of comments in the Virtual Martial Arts Arena began to roll in as well, with the old principal also watching the excitement.


It was still a three-second countdown in the Martial Arts Arena.


After the three-second countdown, fully-equipped Nezha and Zhao Gongming appeared in the arena.


Nezha, holding the Fire-tipped Spear and standing on the Wind and Fire Wheels, rushed towards Wan Wenyi the moment he appeared.


But Wan Wenyi did not dodge or avoid, as if he didn't see Nezha at all, staring straight at Jiang Yuan.


Jiang Yuan's brows twitched slightly, and the corners of Zhao Gongming's mouth also curled up slightly.


"It seems that we still don't need to take action this time."


Nezha, after swinging his spear through the air to no avail, couldn't hide his annoyance and slung the Fire-tipped Spear over his shoulder, with the Wind and Fire Wheel disappearing from beneath his feet in an instant.


Barefoot, Nezha walked on the ground with a displeased look on his face, turning his back towards Wan Wenyi and heading in Jiang Yuan's direction.


"Yuan, it's this situation again, I'll leave it to you."


"Alright."


Jiang Yuan let out a slight sigh. Having felt the swift battles in which Nezha and Zhao Gongming dispatched their opponents, he no longer had much desire to act himself.


It was fine to try out one's abilities right after gaining them, but it was pointless to keep trying excessively.


Nezha and Zhao Gongming handled their fights quickly and stylishly, leaving him with leisure time.


Isn't that good?


But now, how come every one of you has this kind of card?


"Shadow Duel, Liu Xiaofei has deceived me."


Wan Wenyi was a bit dumbfounded, just watching Nezha slowly stroll back.


But he soon came to his senses and stopped concerning himself with Nezha.


After all, they indeed couldn't attack him, what else could they do except stroll back?


"Just like the approach of the previous battle will do."


With the corners of his mouth still turned up, Zhao Gongming took a couple of steps back and then spoke to Jiang Yuan.


"Alright!"


Jiang Yuan nodded, while Wan Wenyi, at this moment, wielded a double-edged broadsword in his hand, charging straight towards Jiang Yuan.


At the same time as he charged, another card appeared in his hand.


A Purple Quality card shined with a violet light, casting its glow upon Jiang Yuan's Linglong Tower.


Jiang Yuan's heart shook, and he instantly understood what type of card his opponent was using.


Clearly, it was a card meant to counter the Skill of his Linglong Tower.


This card is called Mechanism Dismantling, a Purple Quality card, somewhat expensive, but its effect is very good. It can dismantle the Skills on Defense Equipment as well as on offensive equipment," Wan Wenyi said, as if explaining, while a scene unfolded before Jin Lingyu.


"The duration isn't very long, about 3~5 minutes," Jin Lingyu added, threading the needle with his explanation: "But even so, it's enough to face Jiang Yuan."


As he spoke, Jin Lingyu also laughed after seeing Jiang Yuan using the skill [Instant Flash] to push Wan Wenyi back.


"Sadly, you've discovered it too late. Before his breakthrough in the Sixth Realm, he was a patient with muscle weakness, and his life-saving equipment all depended on the artifact called Linglong Tower."


"If someone had realized this and used cards targeting the Linglong Tower, his path to top the rankings in the past few years and the time during the Joint Examination wouldn't have been so easy."


"But now he has broken through the Sixth Realm, the muscle weakness is gone, and his own strength has improved significantly, such as the Thunder Attribute Skill Cards he's using now," Jin Lingyu continued, as Jiang Yuan on the battlefield unleashed Thunder Attribute Skills.


First was the speed reducing skill [Static Electricity], followed by a somewhat trap card attribute [Thunder Marsh]; the high-attack-power [Thunder Spear]; and the own speed-enhancing [Instant Flash], and so on.


One after another, the Thunder Attribute Skills were released from Jiang Yuan's hands, leaving Wan Wenyi somewhat overwhelmed.


But Wan Wenyi was patient, and he wouldn't rashly use his trait and the card specifically aimed at Jiang Yuan's Thunder Attribute Skill attacks before finding the chance.


Wan Wenyi, looking at Jiang Yuan constantly darting around the arena, was also growing impatient.


Generally speaking, this kind of card consumes a lot of Star Power.


But Jiang Yuan is famously abundant in Star Power.


His unrestrained use of Thunder Attribute Skills in the previous battle is evidence enough.


"Just wait a little longer. As soon as an opportunity arises to break through to Jiang Yuan's side, Jiang Yuan will be in trouble," Jin Lingyu spoke again.
