Chapter 40



Gu Xingmian and Xiao Qiong stood on the stage.

The noisy audience suddenly quieted down, and everyone stared at the stage closely, partly because of Xiao Qiong, and partly for Gu Xingmian.

During the previous school selection, Gu Xingmian made the opponent's God Card change sides on the spot, which really shocked many people. Although Gu Xingmian later clarified in the competition that he just had an affinity for all God Cards and could not control them, and there were even rumors that his UR card was actually a useless waste card, there were still many people who did not believe it and thought it was just a cover-up.

And now in the ring competition, it is the best time to verify Gu Xingmian's strength.

Their opponent held the machete tightly in his hand and looked at Gu Xingmian vigilantly.

He was afraid that Gu Xingmian would suddenly order his God Card to turn around and chop him.

Just when Gu Xingmian walked onto the ring, his machete was a little agitated, wanting to move towards Gu Xingmian. If he hadn't hurriedly grabbed him, he would have become the laughing stock of the whole audience.

However, Gu Xingmian didn't seem to have any intention of moving forward. He stopped at the edge of the ring and didn't follow Xiao Qiong forward.

"The God Cards and the Card Master are so far apart, what's the strategy?"

"A new formation? To better control the opponent's God Cards?"

"It's a bit strange, let's see."

The discussions in the audience did not affect the people on the stage.

Gu Xingmian stood at a place farthest from the battlefield to prevent him from being accidentally hurt by their attacks.

The opponent looked at him in confusion, and then looked at Xiao Qiong.

Xiao Qiong already had a supporting card in his hand, signaling to the referee that he was ready.

The opponent then realized that he was going to fight him alone.

As for Xiao Qiong's strength, they had already felt it during the previous school selection. After failing the school selection, they felt deeply ashamed and had been practicing hard these days.

He knew that he might not be able to beat Xiao Qiong, but he still had two teammates behind him. As long as he could consume Xiao Qiong's mental power, just like Burke did before, they would win in the end.

After making the decision, he no longer paid attention to Gu Xingmian, but focused all his attention on Xiao Qiong.

The referee signaled to the two of them, and when they were ready, he waved his hand and shouted to start.

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Qiong's figure moved.

The opponent only felt a shadow passing by in front of his eyes, and at the same time, three attacks had already attacked him.

"!"

This is too fast!

He hurriedly blocked the attack with his curved knife, and his body rolled on the ground, but Xiao Qiong had already followed up to attack, not giving him any time to breathe.

The opponent was originally thinking about using some moves to consume Xiao Qiong's mental power, but now he has no such thoughts at all. He is already exhausted just dodging Xiao Qiong's attacks, as if if he is a little slower, Xiao Qiong will find the opportunity to knock him out directly.

Xiao Qiong's attacks are not only fast, but also continuous. Each attack is crisp and perfect, and it will not waste any mental power.

At first, the people in the audience were still fascinated by it, but the more they watched, the more terrified they felt.

Xiao Qiong had already surprised them once during the school selection.

But at that time, he was either facing a single-method alien plant, or he was fighting and fleeing with Eric under the siege of others. Although they could see that Xiao Qiong was very strong, they had no idea how strong he was.

And now, in this 1V1 match, the opponent was not weak. Not only did he beat the opponent to the point where he had no power to fight back, but he could actually perform textbook-level perfect attacks with every attack.

Of course, for these seniors in the audience, performing perfect attacks is not particularly difficult. Who hasn't been blessed by the gods once or twice in their fighting career?

But every attack is perfect?

​​This can't be achieved even in the training room! !

"Fuck! Is he a human?!"

In the silence, someone shouted the same sigh as in the school selection.

Even Eric and his teammates subconsciously rubbed their goosebumps and sighed: "No matter how many times I watch it, the word 'absurd' is in my mind. I dare not even think about it, let alone achieve it..."

Compared with them, Gu Xingmian, who was on the same stage, did not think so much.

Xiao Qiong said that the first opponent was no problem, so he was happy to be a spectator, appreciating Xiao Qiong's smooth movements, and figuring out how to cooperate with him in the future.

Because he often stayed in Xiao Qiong's spiritual body recently, the tacit understanding between the two seemed to have improved.

Gu Xingmian's mind could barely keep up with Xiao Qiong's speed, and sometimes he could even guess Xiao Qiong's next move. Although it was just practice, Gu Xingmian seemed to gradually experience the fun of fighting.

"Bang!"

The opponent finally couldn't resist and was kicked off the ring by Xiao Qiong.

The referee looked at the watch, the whole process was 5 minutes and 27 seconds.

Everyone in the audience let out a long gasp.

Xiao Qiong's last attack was so fast that they could hardly breathe. I don't know how many people held their breath while watching, and only remembered to breathe after the game was over.

"I could hardly keep up with what he was saying just now, this is too awesome."

"Fuck! Now that's fast, okay? Jimmy simply can't compare to him!"

Jimmy felt the gazes from all directions, and was simply furious.

He simply wondered if Xiao Qiong did this on purpose to mock him.

Xiao Qiong certainly didn't have the time to do that.

As he said before, he never did unnecessary operations in battle.

Because he had to fight against three people, he not only had to consider how to defeat his opponents, but also how to save his mental energy.

While the next opponent hadn't come on stage yet, he closed his eyes and tried to recover his mental energy.

The audience in the audience also reluctantly relaxed a little, chatting in groups of three or two.

Isaac looked at the senior proudly and said, "We have five minutes to fight. If everything goes well, maybe the winner can be decided before lunch time. I would like to thank you for the lunch."

The senior secretly cursed them for not being helpful, but he said with a stubborn face: "Don't be too happy too soon, we still have two people here!"

As they were talking, a senior stood up.

"It's Wusai!"

Wusai was a senior student with a thin body and dark skin. His God Card was a sand cat with a petite body, round eyes, a dark stripe next to the eyes that went into the cheeks, and a pair of ears that were much larger than those of ordinary cats. He looked very cute.

But Xiao Qiong and Gu Xingmian did not dare to look down on them.

Even Song Nanting and others who were sitting on the sidelines sat up straight. When they chose the last two members to join the team, except for Nina who was chosen at the beginning, they hesitated for a long time between Wu Sai and Fred. In

the end, they chose Fred for the sake of the team.

If it was a one-on-one fight, Xiao Qiong would definitely have no problem beating Wu Sai, but in the ring, Wu Sai was simply a nightmare.

Because the dune cat is not only a powerful hunter, but also very good at digging holes and making traps, and the surface is made more realistic than the illusion card, and it is completely invisible. If you are not careful, even your own people will be trapped.

The auxiliary cards used by Wu Sai are also related to traps and concealment, and he is very good at this.

During the school selection, Song Nanting had a special plan for Wu Sai, and dragged him to the first few levels. Otherwise, if he had reached the seventh level in advance, Song Nanting's plan would not have progressed so smoothly.

Therefore, when playing against Wu Sai, you must be cautious throughout the whole process, otherwise you don't know where you will capsize in the dark.

However, long-term concentration can easily make people feel tired and anxious, and it also consumes a lot of physical and mental strength, and what Xiao Qiong lacks most now is mental strength.

So, when the referee called the start, Xiao Qiong rushed forward again at a very fast speed, but Wu Sai had already used an auxiliary card at the same time, and the ring was suddenly filled with mist. In just a moment, Wu Sai and the dune cat disappeared from the ring at the same time. Xiao

Qiong stopped and focused on guarding the surroundings.

Suddenly, he moved his body, and the auxiliary card between his fingers instantly turned into a dagger, knocking down the attack. Only a few "ding ding ding" sounds were heard, and several needle-shaped hidden weapons fell at Xiao Qiong's feet. Almost

at the same time, another auxiliary card turned into a steel rope and stabbed towards the direction where the silver needle came from, but he only stabbed a substitute scarecrow, and Wu Sai had already escaped.

Just when Xiao Qiong was about to retract the wire rope, the soil under his feet suddenly loosened, and his body fell straight down.

But Xiao Qiong was prepared, and he jumped away from the spot with the wire rope, and even calmly released an ice spike, but unfortunately, the dune cat was more cunning than his master, and the ice spike did not pierce anything.

However, the ice spike pierced the ground, and a figure flashed across the smooth surface very quickly.

This time was very short, but Xiao Qiong still caught it.

The auxiliary card in his hand and his figure rushed over almost at the same time. This time Wu Sai was not so lucky. He groaned and his figure was exposed in the mist.

But at the moment when Xiao Qiong was about to catch him, he suddenly sensed something and retreated rapidly.

The sound of sharp scratches on flesh was heard, and the remnants of cat claws appeared again where Xiao Qiong had stood before.

If he had not retreated quickly, he would have been seriously injured this time, but even so, his arm was still scratched by the remnants of the cat claws.

Next, Xiao Qiong was attacked several times in succession. Although he dodged in time every time, he could do nothing about Wu Sai.

Perhaps if it were someone else, they would have become anxious by now, but Xiao Qiong's expression did not fluctuate too much, and he still looked calm and composed.

Gu Xingmian's heart was lifted up.

It was the first time he saw Xiao Qiong helpless against his opponent.

Although Xiao Qiong was not injured now, if this continued, the situation would be very unfavorable to Xiao Qiong.

At this time, the audience in the audience also saw what Wu Sai was going to do.

The senior who had been unable to talk back to Isaac before now said triumphantly: "Junior, things don't seem to be as smooth as you thought. It seems that you have to treat me to lunch!"

Isaac gritted his teeth.

He didn't care about these few star coins, but he couldn't swallow this tone.

He was so anxious that he wanted to shout at Xiao Qiong: Aren't you very capable? Stand up!

Xiao Qiong just stood there quietly, as if he really accepted his fate.

But Gu Xingmian found that Xiao Qiong's fingers were always rubbing the edge of the auxiliary card.

Could it be...

before Gu Xingmian could figure it out.

Wu Sai's next round of attack came again, but this time, Xiao Qiong did not hide, but went straight to meet it.

"!!!"

"Is Xiao Qiong crazy?!!!"

accompanied by the exclamation from the audience.

Xiao Qiong raised his hand, but the auxiliary card did not turn into a weapon. He actually used the hard shell of the card to block this attack.

"Fuck!"

"Using auxiliary cards as weapons, awesome!"

The shell of the auxiliary card is hard. Unless the energy is exhausted, ordinary attacks really can't break it.

Theoretically, it is feasible to use auxiliary cards to block attacks, but the problem is that the area of ​​the auxiliary card is too small. Only people like Xiao Qiong who are skilled and brave dare to do so.

But Gu Xingmian understands why he does this.

As long as the auxiliary card does not change, it will not use up mental power.

As long as he can accurately block every attack of Wu Sai.

But Wusai, in order to conceal himself, did not dare to use slow and effective magic auxiliary cards, but used fast and compact auxiliary cards such as silver needles and hidden weapons. Who knew that this was exactly what Xiao Qiong wanted.

On the contrary, every trap of Wusai and his cooperation with Dune Cat required mental power. One

side gained while the other lost.

Xiao Qiong was waiting for the opportunity to attack Wusai.

But he was playing an open and aboveboard conspiracy.

If Wusai used magic auxiliary cards, Xiao Qiong would easily find his hiding place. As long as Xiao Qiong got close to him, his fate would be the same as his previous teammate. But if he was still the same as before, he would not only fail to consume Xiao Qiong, but would be consumed by Xiao Qiong instead.

And the longer the stalemate lasts, the slower Xiao Qiong's mental power will recover, which is equivalent to helping the enemy.

Eric slapped the table excitedly: "You are worthy of being the boss! You can actually come up with this method! Incredible!"

Nina's brows relaxed: "It seems that the only thing Wu Sai can do is to use group attack auxiliary cards to fight."

Fu Fenglin shook his head: "Group attack auxiliary cards require more mental power and are not accurate enough. For the boss, hiding will only be easier."

"So, Xiao Qiong will win?" A team member asked excitedly.

"If there are no accidents." Song Nanting looked at Xiao Qiong and Gu Xingmian on the stage and said slowly.

Wu Sai also knew what they said.

In fact, his situation was worse than they said. In order to maintain the mist on the ring, he consumed more mental energy than they imagined.

There were not many opportunities left for him to attack.

He made up his mind and looked at the dune cat, who immediately burrowed into the ground.

Wu Sai took out a new auxiliary card. As he used his mental power to activate the auxiliary card, clusters of thorny vines continued to grow along the ground, almost covering the entire ring.

As they grew and spread, the color instantly changed from green to brown, and dense thorns grew on the vines, attacking all around.

The dense thorns instantly attacked Xiao Qiong, and along with the thorns, there were also the elusive shadows of cat claws.

Xiao Qiong was not afraid, as if he had expected this scene.

In order to control the Thorny Vine auxiliary card, Wu Sai had to give up controlling other auxiliary cards. The mist on the ring dissipated instantly, revealing his figure.

Xiao Qiong actually rushed towards him against the sharp thorns and cat claws.

Although the distance was not long, when Xiao Qiong approached Wu Sai, his body was already full of blood, like a blood gourd, but these were only superficial injuries. I don’t know how Xiao Qiong did it. He actually avoided all the vital points in such a dense attack.

Wusai looked at the auxiliary card across his neck, feeling unwilling and afraid. He had even released a powerful move like the Thorny Vine auxiliary card, but he still couldn't force Xiao Qiong to turn the auxiliary card into a weapon?

He closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "I lost."

The prospective high school students suddenly burst into enthusiastic cheers.

In contrast, the seniors had gloomy faces.

Wusai didn't bother to argue anymore, and planned to put away the Thorny Vine auxiliary card and go back.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened.

A bunch of thorny vines had grown next to Gu Xingmian at some point, and without Wusai's control, the spikes on them instantly shot out in all directions.

The attack of the thorny vines is indiscriminate, and once launched, it can no longer be controlled.

Even though Wu Sai was busy trying to collect the auxiliary cards, it was too late.

Xiao Qiong: “!”

The auxiliary cards in his hand quickly turned into steel ropes and rolled towards the spikes that were shooting at Gu Xingmian.

At the same time, wind blades appeared under his feet, helping him to rush towards Gu Xingmian at an extremely fast speed.

Ice spikes and flames appeared one after another. In this short period of less than a second, he even controlled six auxiliary cards at the same time.

But it was not enough!

There were still some that slipped through the net and flew towards Gu Xingmian.

Gu Xingmian also saw the thorny vines attacking him.

Time slowed down, and the thorny vines were restored to cards in front of him.

But just when they were about to turn into star patterns, Gu Xingmian stretched out his hand and waved them away.

This skill was used to protect Xiao Qiong.

The originally slow time returned to normal in an instant, and countless spikes appeared in his field of vision.

Gu Xingmian gritted his teeth and dodged. If he hadn't trained hard recently, his sensitivity and reaction speed had greatly improved, and Xiao Qiong had knocked off most of the spikes in time, he would probably turn into a hedgehog in a minute.

But even so, there were still a few spikes that he couldn't avoid.

Just when everyone thought Gu Xingmian would be injured, a dune cat that came over at some point suddenly swung its claws at the spikes.

Only the last spike was left.

The Dune Cat used a leap that he was not good at, and jumped high up to block Gu Xingmian.

He looked at the small brown figure in front of him.

They were opponents just a moment ago, and there was no communication between them. But just like the brown bear Dill who would rather hurt himself than hurt Gu Xingmian, all the God Cards seemed willing to risk their lives to save Gu Xingmian.

A voice seemed to emerge from the bottom of Gu Xingmian's heart: No, you are the one who should save them.

For a moment, he felt as if he and Xiao Qiong were sharing the same brain.

He saw the trajectory of the spikes clearly, and he could immediately determine the best escape route without even estimating.

Although it was only a very brief moment, the remaining memory was enough.

Gu Xingmian reached out and held the dune cat in his arms, and his body rolled to the side, and the spikes instantly pierced his side.

Before Gu Xingmian could celebrate his survival, an arm fiercely pulled him into the arms. Gu Xingmian

subconsciously raised his head, but saw the green that had not dissipated in Xiao Qiong's eyes, like the pupils of a beast.
