Chapter 189 Amatis!
In the guest seats, Zhang Tianshi, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, smiled and asked Yu Shoufu: "Yu Shoufu, do you still think that Nanjing University has no hope?"
"This Russell took on all the people from Jianghe University by himself."
Yu Shoufu's expression remained unchanged when he heard this: "I don't look down on Jianghe University. After all, the fleet of Mr. Shui, who founded Jianghe University, was also world-famous."
“It’s just this class of students.”
"Not very good."
Zhang Tianshi rolled his eyes without commenting, and then changed the topic to another school: "What about Northwest University of Science and Technology? What insights does Prime Minister Yu have? Tell us."
Hearing about the dark horse that defeated a strong school again today, Yu Shoufu immediately became interested: "Northwest Institute of Science and Technology should not be able to contact the foreigners on the other side of the coast, right? Master Zhang, you have seen the cards of those foreigners, do you think they are the same?"
Hearing this, Zhang Tianshi carefully recalled the cards of the group of foreigners he had seen, and immediately expressed his own judgment: "No, the gap between them is still quite large."
“Northwestern University of Science and Technology is not on the same path as them.”
His words attracted the attention of everyone present.
Seeing everyone looking at him eagerly, Zhang Tianshi did not keep them in suspense and directly pointed out the difference between the two: "Some of those foreigners are very similar to us Ming people. Everyone here should know this, right?"
Everyone nodded.
“But there are some red-haired barbarians from the west.”
"The group of red-haired barbarians were originally planning to take over the magpie's nest, but the secret realm came."
"Initially, they didn't even think about using technology to create things. Instead, they relied on the myths of the indigenous people to make cards to resist the invasion of the secret realm."
"But you also know that the red-haired barbarians have a special liking for technology."
"So after initially getting out of trouble, they merged with the indigenous people and combined technology and mythology together."
"I heard them call it Mecha-God."
"And it is said that the cards held by their most powerful card maker, White Crowned Adley, are of this type."
"It seems to be called something."
"[Supreme Machine God Quetzalcoatl]."
Everyone present was stunned. Although they had some knowledge about the foreign countries on the other side of the sea, this was the first time they heard of such a secret.
Zhang Tianshi was not surprised by the crowd's reaction. After all, he had the same reaction when he first heard those foreigners speak.
After all, the card of Ye Zhou, the hall-level card maker of the Ming Dynasty, is [Day Tour of the Eight Directions·Dongjun].
The difference between the two is a bit too big.
If it weren't for the group of foreigners who wanted to learn more about the Taoist mythology of the Ming Dynasty, he would not have been able to find out such confidential information.
"Come to think of it, that bunch of barbarians might be trying to create some kind of mechanical Three Pure Ones." Zhang Tianshi muttered to himself.
"That's getting off topic." Suppressing the strange thought, he coughed and brought the topic back to Northwestern Institute of Science and Technology. "The cards of those kids are just simple mechanical structures. They have nothing to do with mythology."
“So there’s a big difference between the two.”
After hearing this, all the old men suddenly understood.
Yu Shoufu listened quietly to Zhang Tianshi's detailed explanation before speaking: "But from my observation, An Jin's card should have some unusual features."
“We can continue to look forward to the follow-up.”
An Jin is the captain of the Northwest University of Science and Technology's fighting club.
But after Prime Minister Yu finished saying this, some people present agreed with his point of view, while others felt that he was paying too much attention to this grassroots person who came out of nowhere.
But a group of old foxes would not say it out loud in public to offend the Prime Minister.
The competition of 32 to 16 on the first day of the main competition lasted until late at night.
After all, not everyone can make decisions as quickly as Russell.
Most students' cards are evenly matched, and a game will take at least half an hour.
If you encounter two turtle cards, it will be even more torturous. It all depends on whose mental strength is exhausted first.
However, there was no upset like Northwestern University of Science and Technology in subsequent games.
Yes, if it were so easy to appear, the audience would not expect the so-called dark horse.
After a day's competition, the people of Nanzhong knew their next opponents.
Peking University.
Their good luck ended and they finally encountered a tougher team.
Kyoto University is also a favorite to win the championship, and the strength it showed this year should not be underestimated.
"For the match the day after tomorrow, please appear in the normal order."
Chai Hao was lying on the sofa, scrolling through his phone and scratching his belly while speaking.
Russell and the others nodded when they heard this.
It's no wonder that Chai Hao looks like a wretched middle-aged man. The main reason is that the national competition has little to do with the coach. It's good enough for him to help students arrange competitions and order takeout.
Could it be that he is really planning to do what the head coach is doing during warm-up?
And even if Chai Hao wanted to go up and fight, the tournament organizing committee would not approve it.
Having said that, a team like Kyoto University would never let Russell take the lead.
Although Russell felt that he had played all his cards, it was not impossible for him to try to fight one against five.
Thinking of this, he decided to reveal the truth first: "Everyone, you should have seen [Silver Arm] in the secret realm last time, right?"
As soon as Russell finished speaking, the silver arm armor was instantly attached to his hand.
Seeing this, Liu Yu and the other two nodded, leaving Guan Jie alone with a confused look on his face.
"This card of Russell can make up for the problem that his King Arthur card is weak after releasing a powerful attack."
Liu Yu explained to Guan Jie in a low voice.
Guan Jie was shocked, he naturally knew the card of Russell that he called Lily.
He had also seen the release of the Golden Sword of Covenant on live TV. Although its power was indeed terrifying, it was difficult to hit, had a long pre-release period, and the card was weak after release. These problems could not be ignored.
But what he didn't expect was that Russell actually made an equipment card to deal with this situation in such a short time.
"So you plan to reveal this card in this round of battle?"
Guan Jie thought he had guessed what Russell was thinking and spoke with confidence.
Who would have thought that Russell shook his head.
Everyone present, including Chai Hao, was stunned. They all thought so.
The next moment, Russell revealed the answer: "What I want to say is that I made a new creature card."
"?"
Huge question marks appeared over the heads of several people.
They didn't understand Chinese for a moment. Did Russell mean that he made another card?
Russell was afraid that people would not understand the strength of his new card, so he quickly added: "It will definitely not be weaker than Nilu."
"Nilu is the Antelope Knight card."
"My idea is that I can use the newly made card in this round, and I can hide the [Silver Arm] and use it at a critical moment."
"But the hidden power of the newly made cards must not be exposed just like that, so I hope everyone can come on stage this round to help me get some information so that I can hide my trump card."
As soon as Russell mentioned Nilu, everyone had an impression of her.
They still remember the heroic green-haired female knight.
Wu Di's last card was stabbed to death by the opponent.
Liu Yu was the first to come back to his senses. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then I'll go first."
Liu Yu had his reasons for saying this. He thought that his ability should be ranked in the upper-middle level in the entire national competition, and it would not be difficult to replace two ordinary players.
He can even take on five people at once against some weak teams.
Then he added: "If I can take out three or four people, then Russell, you can just go on the court."
"If that doesn't work, let Du Jing or Guan Jie go first."
Russell nodded and approved the other party's arrangement: "That's it, I hope everything goes smoothly."
Although he felt that he could go on stage directly if Liu Yu only replaced two of them, since the other party said so, it would be better to let the others try the waters.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back and get some rest."
Russell and his friends looked at the clock and found that it was already one o'clock in the morning. It was indeed time to rest.
On the third day, Russell and his friends arrived at the venue early.
As the second round of the round of 16 to 8, the popularity is naturally higher than the previous round.
After learning about their opponents, the people of Nanzhong University also inquired about the opponents of several other more competitive universities in this round.
There is nothing to hide about this kind of information.
The next round of matches will be between Ming University of Science and Technology and Daming Buddhist College.
Jilin University vs. Ludao University.
Northwest University of Science and Technology vs. Zhejiang University. There are basically no weak teams in the top 16, and each school has more or less its own trump card.
It’s just that some of them have been used when encountering strong enemies before, while others have not.
“I didn’t expect that we would be the first to go on stage.”
On the sidelines, Russell said casually while looking at the female card maker riding a muscular man not far away.
A moment later, the referee was ready.
Nanjing University and Beijing University also sent out their first-place players.
The person on Nanjing University’s side was naturally Liu Yu, who had already been discussed.
As for Kyoto University, it sent a player that Russell had no impression of.
In the stands, a young man with a crew cut from Jilin University stared at Russell sitting in the Nanjing University preparation seat and silently crushed the iron ball in his hand: "Russell, I will not lose to you this time."
The students around him were silent, wondering what had happened to this gentleman.
Speaking of which, the main members of Jilin University's duel club also have their grievances to tell. They clearly made it into the top 16, and they clearly have a strong team leading the way. How come the double happiness combined led to this situation?
This guy next to me is really hard to get along with.
They can't beat them in a fight, and they don't have the support of others. All they can do is to become the wronged little wife and endure it silently.
Of course if this guy can lead them to win the championship.
Then they only have two words to say.
Loyal! Sincerity!
On the field, the two card makers have already summoned their own cards.
Pitch-black clouds enveloped the venue, with fine electric snakes swirling through it.
The black mud, like a living thing, was undulating in layers on the ground.
The young man in black armor was covered with dazzling lightning.
With a roar, the huge lightning spear came to the front of the card sent by the Kyoto University card maker like a punishment from heaven.
It is obvious that Liu Yu did not brag about his strength.
Even without Russell, it should not be difficult for Nanjing University to make it to the top 16 under his leadership.
The battle lasted only a short while before it was over.
Soon, Beijing University sent a second candidate.
To everyone's surprise, the second candidate from Kyoto University was actually the female card maker.
The other party's name also flashed on the big screen.
Xia Jiao.
Xia Jiao came to the sidelines and first glanced at Russell not far away, then released her own card.
Unlike the previous time when facing the weak team, Xia Jiao obviously did not hold back this time.
The Nanzhong people did not do nothing during the off-season.
Naturally, I tried every possible means to collect the card information of the opponent's trump card.
For example, they knew the name of the muscular man that Xia Jiao had been riding.
[Hercules, the Muscle Warrior].
However, they didn't know about Russell, the feminine-looking man standing next to Hercules.
It is obvious that this is a new card made by Xia Jiao.
In addition, there was a shadow of a circular building flashing behind it.
By the time the national competition came around, although venue cards were still rare, Russell was not the only one who had them.
It's just that the quality varies.
The quality of a Field Card depends on the card it is associated with.
If the cards don't work, everything will be in vain.
Fortunately, since Kyoto University also had an appointment with other schools, the people from Nanjing University had some understanding of the name and ability of this venue card.
[Bloody Arena], the ability of the silver level is probably to enhance the recovery of the card.
At this moment, Xia Jiao's face showed a look of confidence in victory.
Following the referee's order, the feminine-looking man in the field instantly stretched out his right hand and cut open Hercules' back.
The splattered blood formed a magic circle on the ground.
"not good!"
Liu Yu's heart sank; the actions of the opponent's two cards were completely beyond his expectations.
But there is no point in saying more right now. It will be worth it as long as I can help Russell get some information.
The dazzling lightning reached Hercules almost instantly.
However, the next moment, a bright blood light rose from the ground, blocking the attack for Hercules and also blocking the vision of everyone present.
The dark waves continuously surged towards the blood-colored magic circle, and the lightning spear in the hand of the young man in black armor was like a dragon.
In the attack that was powerful enough to tear the ground apart, blood flashed continuously, and it seemed that it would dissipate into the air in the next moment.
Finally, under the unremitting attack of Liu Yu's cards, the blood-colored magic circle gradually dimmed.
But just as Liu Yu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he was shocked speechless by the following scene.
At this time, Hercules' skin all over his body turned scarlet, as if a torrent of blood was rushing under his skin.
And this is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that the originally feminine young man now only has his upper body sewn to Hercules' back, with his eyes slightly closed as if he was asleep.
Under everyone's gaze, a bloodthirsty arc appeared at the corner of Hercules' mouth.
"Just like that, look at me!"
An excited roar sounded, and Hercules' aura became stronger.
The next moment, a giant red hand had grabbed the black-armored young man's head and slammed it into the ground.
"Boom!"
The dull voice echoed in everyone's heart.
Faced with such a horrifying scene, Liu Yu finally calmed down. The endless black mud instantly turned into a sharp blade and cut off Hercules' right hand.
Freed from the restraints of the giant red hand, the young man in black armor quickly stepped back with an ugly look on his face.
But the next scene made everyone choke.
As the feminine young man opened his eyes, Hercules' originally broken right arm was restored to its original state in the flash of blood.
The next moment, the scarlet figure appeared again in front of the young man in black armor.
But this time, Liu Yu's cards had no ability to resist.
After the main card, the Black-armored Young Man, disappeared into the air, Liu Yu's remaining two cards naturally had no room to fight back.
He returned to Russell and the other three with a wry smile on his face: "I didn't expect the other side to send out their trump card directly."
"Brother Yu, you are already very strong." Seeing this, You Mengnan gently held Liu Yu's hand and comforted him with a smile.
Guan Jie couldn't bear to see the young couple being so affectionate, so he stood up immediately and said, "Then I'll go next."
Just as he was about to go on stage, a hand was placed on his shoulder: "Let me go first."
It's Russell.
"I have seen through the opponent's cards."
After saying this, he walked to the sidelines, leaving the Nanzhong crowd bewildered and puzzled.
Xia Jiao was obviously a little surprised that Russell would appear at this time: "Are you the second one to appear?"
Russell nodded: "I will take over the next game."
Hearing this, Xia Jiao raised her slender eyebrows slightly: "You are quite confident."
"But now that it has come to this, I will not lose!"
Russell smiled but did not respond.
He has mastered the winning formula.
His appearance undoubtedly caused a huge response. Amidst the thunderous cheers, Russell summoned his own card.
Fubuki, Lily, Unohana Retsu, Nel.
There is also a black-haired boy who has never appeared before.
Almost exactly one thousandth of a millisecond after the referee's whistle sounded, the black-haired boy's cold voice reached everyone's ears.
"Amaterasu!"
