Chapter 197 Soldiers versus soldiers, king versus king!
Most Ming people are looking forward to the final match between Nanjing University and Northwest University of Science and Technology.

After all, one team is a well-established strong school, but it became a weak team last year. This year, under the leadership of Russell, it returned to the finals.

The other team came from some unknown school, but they made it to the finals as a dark horse.

Everyone wants to see if they can take that final step and accomplish something unprecedented.

But before that, there was a huge mountain standing before them.

That's Russell.

Russell wasn't thinking about the finals at this moment. Firstly, he was confident that he could beat An Jin, and secondly, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't overthink his opponent. He might as well meditate or have a Pokémon battle.

"I feel like I'm not far from the gold level." Russell opened his eyes and ended his meditation, with a slightly worried look on his face.

He was afraid that if he broke through to the gold level in the subsequent individual competition, he would be doomed.

However, there has never been a gold-level card maker participating in the national competition before, so there is actually no explicit rule that gold-level card makers cannot participate.

Thinking of this, Russell couldn't help but mutter: "The organizing committee won't disqualify me from the competition, right?"

Alas, the troubles of genius.

Time soon came to the day of the finals.

At this moment, Russell was standing in front of a white-haired old man with a well-behaved look on his face.

"Xiao Luo, are you sure?" The white-haired old man was naturally Bai Yueming, "I think that little An Jin is not simple."

Russell nodded when he heard this: "If he only has what he showed before, it shouldn't be a problem."

Bai Yueming patted Russell's shoulder meaningfully: "Just keep it in mind."

Liu Yu and the other three didn't dare to breathe. Although they had known for a long time that Russell was Master Bai's disciple, it was the first time for them to face each other at such a close distance.

Fortunately, Master Bai seemed relatively kind.

"Speaking of which, Xiaoye should be here today."

Looking at the civil engineering senior who was preparing the venue, Bai Yueming suddenly dropped a bombshell.

For a moment, several people did not react to who the "Xiao Ye" that Master Bai was referring to was.

It was Russell who first thought of "Xiao Ye's" identity and couldn't help but take a breath: "Ye Diantang is coming?"

As his voice fell, the scene fell into silence.

After a while, Guan Jie stammered, "Is it the Ye Diantang I was thinking of?"

Bai Yueming nodded with a smile.

Seeing this, Liu Yu and the other three looked at each other. The information that Ye Zhou would come to watch the game almost made their brains go blank.

But after all, they were top students from Nanjing University, and they managed to calm down on the surface. But as they stared at the battlefield in a trance, no one knew what they were thinking.

You should know that Ye Zhou has not appeared in the public eye for several years.

Guest seats.

Zhang Tianshi looked up at the sun and asked Yu Shoufu, "Did Ye Diantang say when he would come?"

At this time, Prime Minister Yu was whispering something with an old man.

Hearing what Zhang Tianshi said, he turned and looked at him: "Ye Diantang said he would arrive before the game started."

"If there's still time, we can get him to show up and give a speech."

Although they could also wait for Ye Zhou to arrive before starting the game, Ye Zhou had clearly told Prime Minister Yu not to wait for him during the previous communication, because he couldn't tell if there would be any emergencies.

At this moment, everyone present suddenly discovered that the original sunlight suddenly became brighter.

Even with cooling cards, everyone still noticed the rise in body temperature, but it was just a warm feeling, not heat.

"Here you are, Ye Diantang."

The old men in the guest seats walked to the huge French windows and looked up at the sky.

Below, Bai Yueming, who was asking Russell about his recent progress, also stopped talking and whispered to him, "Xiao Ye is here, I'll leave first."

"Don't feel pressured today, Ronaldinho. It doesn't matter if you lose."

Hearing Bai Yueming's words, Ding Haoran, the president of Nanjing University, looked bitter, but he didn't know what to say.

But now is not the time to worry about such things.

Because at this time a young man with a pale face appeared in the venue.

Russell naturally recognized who the visitor was.

The only hall-of-fame card maker in the Ming Dynasty, [Yongguang] Ye Zhou.

"She looks so young," exclaimed Liu Yu on the side.

Everyone knew that the young man above was actually nearly forty years old, but he looked so young because of the effect of the card.

Russell had asked his teacher related questions before. Logically speaking, Bai Yueming should not appear so old.

Bai Yueming said that because he suffered too many injuries when he was young and did not pay attention to making cards to strengthen his physique, he is now in an irreversible state.

But in fact, no matter what level the card makers of the Ming Dynasty are, few of them have a good end, otherwise there wouldn't be only three masters and one hall-level card makers on the surface now.

Especially on the association's side, since they were on the front line against the secret realm, their casualties were much higher than those of the imperial court.

"But if Ye Diantang appears here now, there shouldn't be any big problems with the secret realm in Shu," Russell murmured in his heart, "but his body, why do I feel..."

Thinking of Ye Zhou's pale face just now, Russell couldn't help but frowned.

He could see that the other person did not look pale because of his fair skin, but rather because of excessive mental exhaustion.

Combined with what Jinping said half a year ago that spread throughout Shanghai: "I'm afraid Ye Zhou won't be able to hold on for a few more years."

An idea gradually arose in his mind: "Could it be that Ye Diantang's appearance this time was to calm public opinion and appease the people?"

At this time, the audience in the stands was already in an uproar.

"Is that Ye Diantang?"

"Fuck, the living Ye Diantang!"

"I said Ye Diantang is still alive. There were some idiots online saying Ye Diantang was dead. The news showed footage taken before."

Facing the current peak of the Ming Dynasty, most people have only admiration in their hearts.

At this time, Bai Yueming and Fang Wenlong also appeared beside Ye Zhou. The three of them smiled and talked for a few words before leaving the sky above the venue.

Russell knew they were heading to the guest seats.

In the guest seats, Prime Minister Yu was holding Ye Zhou's hand and asking about his well-being: "Ye Diantang, you have worked hard over the years. The Ming Dynasty will never forget your contribution."

Ye Zhou smiled noncommittally: "Everyone is working hard, it's not just my credit."

Zhang Tianshi suddenly interrupted: "Hey, if it weren't for you, Xiaoye, who knows how many casualties would have been caused in the secret realm of Shu."

As he spoke, the white-bearded old man glanced behind him vaguely.

Ye Zhou naturally caught the look in Zhang Tianshi's eyes, but he didn't say anything. He just calmly changed the subject: "Master Bai, that young man just now is your new disciple, right?"

Bai Yueming nodded with a smile: "Xiaoye, what do you think?"

A smile appeared on Ye Zhou's pale face: "He is indeed a demon. He should be almost at the gold level, right? When he advances, should we let him come to the Shu area for some training?"

Bai Yueming pretended to hit him when he heard that: "Okay, Xiaoye, you're trying to steal my girl now."

Ye Zhou smiled and dodged away. He was just teasing just now.

Even if Russell was willing to go, he wouldn't agree.

There's no need to send children to die in that kind of place.

On the sidelines, students from the two schools were quietly waiting for the game to begin.

Russell saw An Jin looking at him from a distance, so he nodded at him as a greeting.

Seeing this, An Jin smiled back.

Today's tactics of Nanjing University are also very simple. Anyway, we already have a rough idea of ​​the strength of Northwestern University of Science and Technology, so we will just attack them one by one from the weakest to the strongest.

However, except for Russell, the other four people from Nanda University were a little nervous. This was the final stage of the national team competition.
At the beginning of this semester, the current situation was a scene they could not even imagine.

But fate is like that. With the addition of Russell, a freshman, the strength of Nanjing University soared like a rocket.

The sound that filled their ears reminded them all the time that this was not a dream. After the venue was ready, the first person sent by Nanjing University was naturally You Mengnan.

For her, Russell felt that as long as she could beat one person, she would be successful.

And Northwestern University of Science and Technology naturally continued with its previous tactics.

To be honest, they didn't have any tactics. They just let An Jin be the last to appear on the stage, and replace the other four as many as possible.

As expected, You Mengnan lost.

The next person to appear on the stage was Guan Jie. Fortunately, Guan Jie worked hard together with You Mengnan.

Finally, he defeated the two and left the game.

The situation at this time is three against three.

But in addition to Russell, there is also Liu Yu in Nanjing University.

Watching the expressionless Du Jing heading to the battle seat, Russell whispered to Liu Yu, "It looks like they don't have any more cards."

"The only one worth noting is An Jin."

Liu Yu nodded: "I should be able to fight against An Jin, and I will try my best to find out some of his cards."

Russell nodded slightly to acknowledge his opinion.

Hu Tao, who was standing beside the others, stared thoughtfully at An Jin, who was sitting in the preparation seat at Northwest University of Science and Technology.

Soon, Du Jing left the stage after defeating one person.

Liu Yu took a deep breath and stood up.

"The more I consume, the more Russell's grasp becomes."

“It is our duty to restore the glory of NTU!”

His expression gradually became firm.

Pitch-black clouds covered the area, and bright lightning flashed everywhere.

Under Liu Yu's attack, the fourth person from Northwest University of Science and Technology was quickly defeated.

Looking at An Jin who had already taken the battle seat, Liu Yu suppressed his excitement and said, "It really is just the last step."

The next moment, three silver-white robots appeared in the venue.

After the referee's whistle sounded, Liu Yu's card directly attacked the robot that could load the module.

"As long as the carrier is destroyed, no matter how many tricks you use, you won't be able to use them."

This is Liu Yu’s idea.

It has to be said that based on the information NTU had, his decision was undoubtedly correct.

The reactions of the robots on the field undoubtedly confirmed this.

The other two robots tried frantically to stop the young man in black armor from attacking the carrier.

The young man in black armor didn't care and just kept attacking.

"boom!"

The sudden explosion swept across the entire venue, and the raging flames engulfed the young man in black armor.

An Jin's card exploded.

Liu Yu's face twitched. He didn't expect An Jin to be so decisive.

"Weapon module, [Celestial Phenomenon: Sun, Moon, and Star] begins loading."

"Loading complete."

"Current combat mode: normal."

Blue beams of light pierced through the dark clouds.

"day."

The small sun emitting endless light and heat appeared again in the eyes of the world.

In just a moment, the dark clouds gathered by the dragons and snakes were completely dispersed.

Liu Yu looked at the scene with a heavy expression. You know, that layer of dark clouds was prepared by him for Russell, but now it was cleared away so easily.

Without the blessing of thunder and lightning, the strength of the young man in black armor suddenly dropped significantly.

The next moment, the small sun was projected onto the ground, and the blinding white light made it impossible for ordinary people to open their eyes.

Continuous vibrations continued to come from the stage.

After a while, the horrible shock gradually dissipated.

However, the cards belonging to Liu Yu had already disappeared without a trace.

He breathed a sigh of relief. Although he failed to find out anything new, he at least consumed one of the opponent's killer weapons.

In the guest seats, it was the first time that Ye Zhou saw An Jin's cards. He couldn't help but be a little surprised by this change: "It's interesting. I have never seen this kind of thinking before."

"and"

He recalled the breath he had just felt and looked at Bai Yueming and Fang Wenlong beside him with some uncertainty.

The two master card makers understood what Ye Zhou wanted to ask, and nodded in agreement to confirm his idea: "Yes, it seems that Xiaoye has also seen it."

Hearing this, Ye Zhou raised his eyebrows and said to Bai Yueming: "Master Bai, it seems that it is hard to say about your disciples."

Bai Yueming just laughed and didn't refute.

He has absolute confidence in his disciple Russell.

"Leave it to me next."

Russell smiled at the people from Nanda.

In his opinion, Liu Yu had done his best, even though the release medium of [Thunder Escape·Qilin] was dispersed by the opponent.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. Having watched his last round of competition, An Jin will definitely be on guard against this move of his.

Now that Liu Yu could replace a "日" was already a little unexpected for him.

With this in mind, he walked to the battle seat with a calm expression.

At this moment, a voice sounded beside Russell: "Russell, I actually envied you before."

It’s An Jin.

Russell just listened as he continued.

“To be honest, I don’t think I have much talent.”

"If it weren't for the dean, I'm afraid I would still be an orphan with nothing."

"You are also an orphan, you should know how difficult it is for us to make the first card."

"But fortunately, I met the dean and a partner who is worthy of trust."

“No need to run around like a wild dog until you rot.”

Russell listened to An Jin's words quietly, then rolled his eyes at her: "Apologize to the other contestants!"

"They will cry if you think you don't have any talent!"

Now he understood why he had never heard of An Jin's name before the national competition. It turned out that he was a guy who had the same epiphany as himself.

And now Russell just wanted An Jin to shut up. If she continued talking, he felt like he was going to be killed by the milk.

The next step is to shout "friendship and bond" and beat him up.

But who would have thought that An Jin was stunned, and then burst into laughter, laughing until he almost couldn't breathe.

After a long while, he wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "I am being hypocritical."

"Russell, come on."

"A showdown between genius and wild dog."
