Ji Chenyu hadn't expected the difficulty of this special event to be so high.
Today was only the fifth day of the game dungeon, and for an ordinary player, being able to put together a complete deck of cards would be good enough. Yet, the opponent from the neighboring school was a student holding two epic cards.
However, the high difficulty of the special event wasn't entirely a bad thing; the greater the difficulty, the better the reward after completion.
Originally, Ji Chenyu had considered intentionally losing the match to test Wen Xiangjie's strength, but now he decided not to give Wen Xiangjie a chance to show off and instead claim the reward for this special event.
Ji Chenyu stepped onto the battle arena, and the dice in front of him and Yinaya began to spin.
The dice in front of Ji Chenyu landed on 4, and the dice in front of Yinaya landed on 6.
Both combatants have entered the arena. First player: Yinaya. Second player: Ji Chenyu. The battle officially begins!
As expected, among the cards Yinaya drew in the first round, there was still the Singer.
The familiar white musical note spirit appeared on the battle arena.
Ji Chenyu checked his hand in the first round; he hadn't drawn the card he wanted, which was normal, given that Yinaya's luck was above his.
However, his luck wasn't bad either. As long as he summoned that card, he could sound the horn of counterattack against Yinaya.
The early stages of Ji Chenyu and Yinaya's battle were no different from Yinaya's previous matches against other players. No battle card was an enemy to Singer in one turn, and Ji Chenyu's health rapidly decreased.
From the perspective of the students in the stands, Ji Chenyu, like the previous contestants, was merely stalling for time, slowly dying.
Watching Yinaya's health, which hadn't decreased at all from beginning to end, a deep sense of powerlessness welled up in the hearts of the students from Wen Xiangjie's school.
A freshman with such strength, put into their school, would be a complete dimension-crushing blow. Not to mention them, even the senior students would absolutely not be her opponent.
Soon, Yinaya once again buried a card next to Singer.
Seeing this buried card, the students from Wen Xiangjie's school felt even more despair.
Time passed bit by bit, and it was Ji Chenyu's turn again.
Ji Chenyu drew a card from the card dispenser, and a wicked smile appeared on his face, which usually looked timid and submissive.
“Summon the battle card Windstorm Dragon.” Ji Chenyu threw a card onto the battle arena.
A purple light flashed, and the card thrown onto the battle arena transformed into a giant dragon formed by wind elements.
Windstorm Dragon: 1300 Attack Points.
The students in the stands were all in an uproar.
It's another epic card! And it's an epic battle card!
Most importantly, Windstorm Dragon's attack power is higher than Singer's!
“There’s another expert?!”
“Another epic battle card! I’m so jealous, I’m really jealous. What’s wrong with there being one more freshman with an epic card in this world?!”
“Great! Windstorm Dragon’s combat power is higher than Singer’s! Steadfast Mind is a crowd control removal card, it won’t have any effect on Windstorm Dragon. One sneeze from Windstorm Dragon and Singer will be done for!”
“I didn’t expect such a turn of events, our school still has a chance to win!”
“It’s over, Singer is in danger! Does Yinaya have any other epic cards?!”
“Do you think epic cards are like cabbages in the field, you can have as many as you want?”
Hillman also hadn't expected that, besides Wen Xiangjie, two other freshmen in their school this year possessed epic cards.
Helena had indeed recorded the card deck situations of these contestants, but Hillman hadn't looked at them at all.
With Wen Xiangjie as such a shining example, Hillman had no need to pay attention to anyone else.
“Your school’s freshmen this year are truly hidden dragons and crouching tigers. First, there’s a freshman with an Epic Mechanism Card, Vigilance, and then a freshman with an epic summon card. Headmaster Hillman has truly found a treasure.” Headmaster Danpier said with a smile.
Even after seeing Ji Chenyu summon the Windstorm Dragon, which had 200 more attack points than Singer, Headmaster Danpier’s expression remained very relaxed.
This indicated that he had great confidence in Yinaya and still believed that Yinaya could defeat Ji Chenyu.
“Headmaster Danpier is so relaxed, it seems like student Yinaya still has a trump card up her sleeve?” Headmaster Hillman glanced at Headmaster Danpier.
“No rush, no rush. The good shows always make a slow entrance. Headmaster Hillman, just enjoy it with me.” Headmaster Danpier chuckled.
“Headmaster Danpier is right, the good shows always make a slow entrance.” Hillman said meaningfully.
After summoning the Windstorm Dragon, Ji Chenyu for the first time lifted his head, fully revealing his face, full of youthful vigor.
This epic summon card was something he had obtained through his own efforts. Although it was only a temporary loan, he had put in countless efforts to make the other party lend him an epic summon card.
However, borrowing this epic summon card was very worthwhile. He was confident that he could obtain an epic card of his own through this special event.
Ji Chenyu couldn't help but look up at Wen Xiangjie, who was sitting in the stands.
Because of their positions, he and Wen Xiangjie were destined to be on opposite sides, but apart from the positional issue, there was actually no hatred between him and Wen Xiangjie; after all, they had only met for the first time before entering the game dungeon.
But he was just full of hostility towards Wen Xiangjie, a large part of which was due to his jealousy of Wen Xiangjie.
Why could Wen Xiangjie, a student from a common background, become the top scholar in the national college entrance examination, shining brightly and being praised by countless people in the sunlight?
And he, despite his extraordinary background and remarkable talent, had to bury his identity and act as a hidden agent for his family, doing things that couldn't see the light of day.
If he weren't a hidden agent, with his background and talent, he would absolutely be no worse than Wen Xiangjie. All the flowers and applause Wen Xiangjie received should have been his!
Wen Xiangjie naturally received Ji Chenyu's gaze.
The emotions within it were very complex; it was clear at a glance that Ji Chenyu was a boy with a story.
However, Wen Xiangjie didn't care how heavy the story behind Ji Chenyu was; she only knew that Ji Chenyu's hostility towards her was very strong.
As an enemy, if one has the ability to crush them, they should be crushed directly, never given a chance to bite back.
“My turn ends.” Ji Chenyu’s voice, when he called out that his turn ended, was noticeably much louder than before.
Yinaya drew a card from the card dispenser, and seeing this new card, a faint smile appeared on Yinaya’s face.
Seeing the smile on Yinaya’s face, Ji Chenyu’s raised lips straightened into a line, and the youthful vigor in his brows also subsided considerably.
