Chapter 26 Opening
Chapter 26 Opening
On the second day, Victoria Song was standing in front of Russell and the other two, cheering them up: "Come on, don't be nervous, it's okay even if you fail."
This is what Song Qian really thinks. After all, life is long and no one will have a smooth life.
It's a pity that she didn't know about the unified examination in Jiangxi Province, otherwise she wouldn't be so optimistic.
The three of them nodded silently, got in the car, and started heading towards the joint examination venue.
The venue for this joint exam is the Card Maker Showdown Arena in Ning'an District, which was funded and built by the Card Maker Association and is usually used to host Card Maker competitions.
But it’s okay to use it temporarily for the joint entrance examination of four schools this time.
Russell led Jiang Nanxi and Lin Yue into the venue, where a school had already arrived.
I took a look at the school uniform and saw that it was Ning'an No. 1 Middle School. In previous years, it was considered a close friend of Hucheng No. 1 Middle School.
However, the three people from Ning'an No. 1 Middle School did not come over to say hello. They just glanced at Russell and the other two and then looked away.
Russell and the other two naturally would not try to please others, but just waited quietly for the arrival of the remaining two schools.
At this time, some leaders from Ning'an District had already arrived at the stands in the venue.
However, since it was just a joint entrance examination among four schools in Ning'an District, there were no passers-by spectators.
This also reduces the invisible pressure on the high school students who are about to perform on stage for the first time.
In the stands, Principal Tang of Ning'an No. 1 Middle School saw Principal Xie of Hucheng No. 1 Middle School and couldn't help but smile and said, "Old Xie, how is your school this year? Are you sure?"
Principal Xie couldn't help but look unhappy when he heard this: "If you had asked me this last year, I would have said that our school has produced two good talents this year, but this year with the one from Shanghai University High School here, the first place will definitely be theirs."
That’s right. If it were in previous years, students of Russell and Jiang Nanxi’s level would have had a chance to rank first in the joint entrance examination of four schools.
As a result, this year a genius emerged from Shanghai University High School to create a gold card. In Principal Xie's opinion, first place is basically a foregone conclusion.
Previously, I asked someone to let the key class students enter the secret realm in advance to improve their strength, but something unexpected happened.
At this time, an old man with half white hair came up to the two of them and said with a smile: "Hey, don't praise Lin Jianian, otherwise the kid will be so proud of it."
The visitor was Principal Wu of Shanghai University High School.
Seeing Principal Wu's smug look, Principal Xie and Principal Tang couldn't help but roll their eyes.
At this time, Russell and others also saw students from Shanghai University High School in the venue.
The leader had dyed his hair blonde to show off, and was followed by two students who looked like his followers.
Russell's eyes twitched, and he whispered to Jiang Nanxi beside him, "Is Shanghai University Affiliated High School so lax?"
Jiang Nanxi laughed softly when she heard what Russell said: "He is the person who made the gold card I mentioned. The school always gives preferential treatment to top students."
"Even if you dye your hair red, I don't think Teacher Song will say anything."
Russell imagined what he would look like with red hair and couldn't help but shudder. He didn't want to have an ominous old age.
At this time, the blond man lifted his hair, stroked his forehead and said to the students in the field: "It's not your fault that you lost to me, Lin Jianian. It's just that I'm too strong."
Then, he sighed slightly, "Ah, being invincible is so lonely."
The two younger brothers beside him also applauded at the right time.
"Brother Ling is mighty!"
"Brother Lin is invincible!"
There seemed to be a cold wind blowing through the field.
After a long while, Russell, Jiang Nanxi and Lin Yue looked at each other in bewilderment: "Is he not in the right place in the head?"
Lin Yue scratched his head and said hesitantly: "Maybe, all geniuses are like this?" While they were talking, Ning'an No. 2 High School, the last high school in the joint entrance examination of four schools, also arrived.
Russell's old acquaintance, Ma Liang, president of the Ning'an District Card Artists Association, walked to the front of the stage with a microphone in hand.
"I think all of you students have already known about this joint exam in school, so I won't waste any more words on it."
"Since there are only four schools, the joint exam will be completed in two days. Next, I will draw the two schools for the first battle."
As Ma Liang spoke, a staff member behind him walked up to him holding a black box.
Ma Liang reached in and pulled out two slips of paper.
After opening the note and taking a look at the name on it, Ma Liang announced loudly: "The first match is between Shanghai University Affiliated High School and Ning'an No. 1 High School!"
Hearing this, Lin Jianian shook his golden hair and said to the two followers beside him: "You don't have to go, I can do it alone."
The two followers couldn't help but secretly rejoice when they heard this. Who wouldn't want to win without any effort?
But the people from Ning'an No. 1 Middle School looked unhappy, because Lin Jianian obviously did not take them seriously.
The battle began, and Russell finally understood what Lin Jianian's confidence was.
In front of him appeared a terrifying humanoid monster with a green face, fangs and a steel fork in his hand.
As the monster appeared, a slight mist began to fill the field.
It turned out to be a Yaksha.
Lin Jianian crossed his arms and said proudly, "It is an honor for you to be defeated by my [Patrol Sea Warrior Yaksha]."
Yaksha generally has two forms. One is the [Dragon Palace] series produced by Lin Jianian. The basic level of the materials used fluctuates between black iron and bronze.
There is also a higher level one, which belongs to the [Eight Dharma Protectors] series of Buddhist mythology.
These were what Russell had seen in the "World Mythology Atlas Revised Edition 4.8" before. Common monsters and mythological characters like these were introduced in it, but the quality of the final cards still depends on the stories compiled by each person.
Thinking of this, Russell suddenly glanced at Lin Jianian's two followers: "These two people are not making shrimp soldiers and crab generals, are they?"
The three students from Ning'an No. 1 Middle School felt like they were facing a formidable enemy when they saw Yaksha.
They have no information about Jiang Nanxi.
It was also at this time that they realized how terrifying their opponent Lin Jianian's cards were.
Soon, the three cards were defeated without being able to put up any decent resistance.
Jiang Nanxi saw this scene and looked solemn: "He lost too quickly. I couldn't tell anything at all."
"It's obvious that he has the ability to control water, but I don't know how strong it is." Russell said calmly.
Whether it is the name of the card that Lin Jianian self-destructed, or the water vapor around Yaksha after he appeared, it shows that this card has the ability to control water.
However, Ning'an No. 1 Middle School, which had been at the bottom of the rankings in previous years, was unable to provide any decent intelligence and thus lost.
In the stands, Principal Wu of Shanghai University Affiliated High School patted Principal Tang on the back and said with a smug look on his face, "Hey, Old Tang, Jianian was too harsh. Don't bother with him."
Principal Tang's face darkened when he heard this. Not only did this old man win, but he also poked someone's lungs. He immediately said unhappily, "I won't bother with a kid."
Moreover, Ning'an No. 1 Middle School has been at the bottom of the rankings over the years, so it doesn't matter who he loses to. Losing to Lin Jianian can make him argue that his opponent was too strong.
Comforting himself in his heart, Principal Tang looked at Principal Xie. Didn't he have a brother in need to accompany him?
As for the good seedling that Principal Xie mentioned earlier, he just thought that the other party was just being stubborn.
