Gu Xingmian has been very busy recently. He has written down all the knowledge he learned from the Starry Sky with pen and paper. After all, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen. Moreover, he has only written down a lot of knowledge without digesting it. He still needs to study it thoroughly.

Whenever he has time, he will call Grove on the communicator to exchange their experiences.

Gu Xingmian has the theoretical knowledge taught by the Starry Sky, and can directly see the star pattern and control it, but Grove has been immersed in this for decades, and he has many ideas that are worth learning from.

The two of them had a very pleasant exchange. Gu Xingmian was too busy to pay attention to Xiao Qiong. At most, he would go back to his spiritual body to sleep when he was tired.

So when he saw Xiao Qiong coming to him, Gu Xingmian was still unable to react.

Gu Xingmian was actually worried before, not knowing how to explain to Xiao Qiong what happened underwater. Although he seemed to be the one who was kissed forcefully later, Xiao Qiong was unconscious at the time, and it was originally his initiative.

But he didn't expect that so many things would happen later, and as soon as they got out of the competition map, he was dragged in by Xingkong and forcibly isolated.

So after so long, that little bit of embarrassment has been diluted by time, except that he still feels his toes digging into the ground when he thinks of it occasionally, but it basically doesn't cause any ripples in Gu Xingmian's heart.

Isn't it just artificial respiration? What's the big deal.

Besides, Xiao Qiong is so calm, a big boss would not care about such a small matter.

Gu Xingmian thought so, and looked up at Xiao Qiong calmly, but was almost frightened by his gloomy face.

"What...what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Xiao Qiong paused, and his expression returned to his usual calmness: "Today is the match between Feiken College and Tianhe College, let's go to watch it together."

Gu Xingmian slapped his head, he had completely forgotten about this matter.

Thinking of this, he quickly closed the notebook in his hand, put it in his pocket, and went to the place where the game was to be watched with Xiao Qiong.

Xiao Qiong lagged behind him by one step, and looking at his back, he felt a little irritated.

Logically speaking, the underwater incident was just an accident, and it was normal for Gu Xingmian to have no memory of it at all. However, when Gu Xingmian really acted as if he had no memory of it, he felt inexplicably upset.

Gu Xingmian didn't know what Xiao Qiong was thinking. He turned the corner and happened to see Eric on the balcony. He didn't know who he was talking to on the communicator. His face was very ugly, and his lips moved quickly a few times. It was unknown what he said, and then he hung up the communicator.

Eric hurriedly walked out of the balcony.

Gu Xingmian knew that he had some secrets that he didn't want others to know, so he took a step back, not wanting to be seen by Eric to avoid embarrassment.

Who knew that this step back happened to step on the instep of Xiao Qiong's foot.

Gu Xingmian was stunned.

This is Xiao Qiong!

He is so agile and sharp that he stepped on the enemy's foot before the enemy could even touch his clothes.

Xiao Qiong was just distracted and had no defense against Gu Xingmian. When he realized that he was stepped on, Gu Xingmian had already loosened his foot and made a "huh" gesture to him.

After Eric disappeared, Gu Xingmian couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Are you... okay?"

Xiao Qiong: "?"

Gu Xingmian: "Are you injured? Or is there something wrong? Let's go find Teacher Wright now, but we must not avoid seeing a doctor..."

Xiao Qiong: "..."

He closed his eyes: "I'm fine."

"Huh?" Gu Xingmian heard a bit of gritted teeth in his tone, and wanted to say a few more words, but Xiao Qiong had already pulled his wrist to the front room.

When he opened the door, he saw that it was bustling inside.

Because the first game was won, it meant that they had secured a place in the third round, so everyone was more relaxed now. Even if it was to observe future opponents, the psychological pressure was not that great.

Seeing Xiao Qiong and Gu Xingmian coming in, everyone hurried to greet them.

After these days, their injuries have almost recovered.

Gu Xingmian once again had to sigh at the development of medical technology in this world, as well as the strong spirit of the card masters.

He couldn't help but glance at Eric, who had also returned to normal at this time and was arguing with Fu Fenglin.

Xiao Qiong pulled Gu Xingmian to sit down, and the game started soon.

The map for the competition between Feken College and Tianhe College was randomly located in the woods, which was a relatively conventional map.

At the beginning of the game, the video screens of the two sides fell on Carlos and Fu Fengye respectively.

They are not only the captains of the two teams, but also the most interesting ones of the two teams.

Not to mention Carlos, who is dressed like an idol star, causing screams wherever he goes. It is said that more spectators came to Cor City today than before, and almost all of them came for him.

And Fufeng Ye should not be underestimated.

The ancient martial arts families in the Saint Robert continent have always been mysterious. It is said that they have existed long before the evil spirits appeared.

After they had the talent of playing cards, they did not abandon their own abilities, but combined the God Card with their own ancient martial arts, taking a different path from other card masters.

Therefore, the card masters of Tianhe College have the least demand for auxiliary cards. In addition, they have their own industries, so the college can be self-sufficient. They regard the four-school league as a place to hone their martial arts, and they don't care much about winning or losing.

However, it was clear that the card masters of Tianhe Academy were particularly eager to fight today, and everyone seemed to be holding back a lot of energy.

Their God Cards had been taken out, and they were all various weapons.

Some weapons were less popular, so Fufeng Lin introduced and explained them to them.

Nina asked curiously, "Lin, are all the God Cards of the card masters in Tianhe Academy weapons?"

"Yes." Fufeng Lin said with certainty, "If someone draws other God Cards after the card drawing day, the academy will also suggest that they transfer, but this situation is very rare."

Nina couldn't help asking, "Then...what about you? Did you transfer here?"

She was two years older than Fufeng Lin, and didn't know much about his situation before he drew the card.

Fu Fenglin shook her head: "I entered Mosca Academy from the beginning."

Nina was stunned: "Why?"

After she finished asking, she quickly said, "If it's inconvenient to answer, just pretend I didn't ask..."

In fact, not only she, but others are also curious.

After all, they are all such aristocratic families. There may be some open and secret struggles and power struggles. The young master of the aristocratic family became a victim and was expelled from the academy. He had no choice but to endure humiliation and endure hardships, just waiting to return to the family in the future to take revenge.

Gu Xingmian had already given Fu Fenglin a set of "classic scripts" in his mind.

It was not until he saw Fu Fenglin getting along well with the people of Tianhe Academy that he realized that things were not as they imagined.

Sure enough, Fufeng Lin just said lightly: "There is nothing inconvenient to answer, it's just that the concepts are different."

"Uh, what do you mean by different concepts?"

Fufeng Lin: "I don't want the God Card to be a cold weapon."

Everyone: "..."

They subconsciously set their eyes on Gugu who was sleeping on the top of Gu Xingmian's head.

Gugu felt a lot of gazes, and raised her umbrella sleepily: "Guji?"

Fufeng Lin touched Gugu's umbrella with a loving face: "Be good, nothing happened, go back to sleep." "

Guji Guji~" Gugu rubbed Fufeng Lin's palm obediently, and then "clicked" buried in Gu Xingmian's hair, and fell asleep.

Everyone said again: "..."

This concept is indeed quite different...

However, although Fufeng Lin did not study in Tianhe College, almost all of the participants were related to him in some way, and he knew all their weapons and skills.

At this time, the first pair of opponents collided.

It was Fufeng Ye and Mo Ye from Feken College.

Speaking of Mo Ye, everyone had a deep impression of him. After all, his aesthetics was extremely weird. He was the only one who really liked Mosca's suffocating fluorescent green team uniform.

He was short and dark, and he always liked to hang in various places. Not only were his clothes colorful, but he also always had a lot of messy accessories hanging on him.

But no one expected that his God Card was actually an extremely beautiful queen butterfly, with bright and shiny wings. As they flapped their wings and flew, fine scales fell, like an ultimate aesthetic feast.

However, the scene that seemed as beautiful as a dream in the eyes of outsiders was actually full of dangers.

The scales of the queen butterfly had a hallucinogenic effect, and although the queen butterfly looked weak and beautiful, it was extremely ferocious. Its claws were extremely sharp and could grab a piece of meat with one strike.

However, people who were deceived by the illusion could not feel the pain at all. Some of them were still immersed in the illusion until their death, with their bodies full of wounds, but they died with a smile on their faces.

It's really a headache to meet such an enemy.

However, Fu Feng Ye's expression didn't change at all. He shook the long sword in his hand, and actually shook away all the scales close to him. Without stopping, he arrived in front of Mo Ye almost instantly.

Mo Ye seemed a little surprised, but he didn't surrender. Instead, he flexibly climbed up a big tree next to him and disappeared in the dense tree canopy in an instant.

However, Fu Feng Ye also jumped onto the tree, and stabbed the long sword in his hand into the tree canopy. A muffled groan came from the tree canopy, but the next second, Mo Ye had jumped down from the tree, and then grabbed a few vines and jumped directly to another tree.

Fu Feng Ye chased after him relentlessly.

The next second, a poison vine suddenly attacked him from the side, but Fu Fengye was extremely cautious and swung his long sword to cut off the poison vine.

Seeing that he was not hit, Mo Ye had two auxiliary cards in his hand, and he attacked them one by one, and cooperated with the Queen Butterfly to block all directions around Fu Fengye.

Unexpectedly, the mother and child swords in Fu Fengye's hands separated instantly, and he was flexible and free, and cooperated with his body movements to knock down all the attacks.

Everyone in Mosca Academy was stunned: "Good, so powerful!"

If it were them, they would not be able to dodge Mo Ye's attack just now.

Burke touched his chin and said, "Except for the boss, no one can dodge it, right?"

Everyone looked at Fufeng Lin at the same time. Fufeng Lin was not angry and answered honestly, "His attacks are very clever. Although I can dodge the attacks, I can't avoid all the scales..."

This is also the most annoying thing about fighting with Mo Ye.

Fufeng Lin looked at his cousin on the screen, paused, and said, "Fufeng Ye started learning swordsmanship at the age of three. His talent is the strongest in our generation. Moreover, don't look at his serious and indifferent appearance. He is actually a martial arts madman. He is the kind of person who becomes more courageous as he fights more. Now he is far from his peak state..."

Everyone was shocked.

Isn't this even his peak state? !

Moreover, since the card masters of Tianhe Academy rarely use auxiliary cards, their mental strength is much more durable than theirs. In addition, their physical skills are very strong, and their personal combat power is beyond doubt. If they were to face Tianhe Academy, it would be impossible for them to fight back like they did with Fallet before leaving.

Even Song Nanting frowned, and he obviously found it tricky.

On the screen, Mo Ye seemed to realize that he couldn't deal with Fu Feng Ye, and if he continued to fight, he might be eliminated, so he simply turned around and ran.

In addition to letting the Queen Butterfly disturb Fu Feng Ye, he kept throwing auxiliary cards behind him to try to stop him.

But Fu Feng Ye kept biting him tightly, as if he was unwilling to eliminate him.

Soon he seized the opportunity and thrust out his long sword. Mo Ye wanted to repeat the same trick, but he didn't expect Fu Feng Ye to have seen through him. He thrust out his sub-sword and pierced through Mo Ye's shoulder.

Blood spurted out instantly.

Mo Ye fell off the tree trunk.

Just as Fu Feng Ye was about to catch up and eliminate him completely, he saw a shadow attacking him. He reacted in time and jumped to the side, but was hit in the chest by a thick tail. A current instantly passed through his body, making him stiff, and his back hit the tree trunk heavily.

A little blood flowed from the corner of Fu Feng Ye's lips, but he didn't have time to wipe it off. He held the sub-sword and looked at the person opposite him vigilantly.

That was Carlos.

It was the griffon's tail that hit Fu Feng Ye just now, and at this moment, the queen butterflies gathered together, like a blanket, catching Mo Ye and slowly placing him on the ground.

Mo Ye used a healing card on himself, and his injuries healed a lot immediately. He was about to attack Fu Feng Ye again, but was stopped by Carlos.

Mo Ye asked in confusion: "Captain?"

Carlos: "This is the battlefield between him and me, go find someone else."

He didn't give any reason, but Mo Ye agreed without thinking, and then ran away with Queen Butterfly.

Mosca and the others were stunned: "No... Such a good opportunity, wouldn't 2V1 directly eliminate Fu Fengye?"

"I didn't expect Mo Ye to be so obedient, I thought he was a troublemaker when I saw him..."

Eric heard this and laughed twice: "You are not wrong, Mo Ye is indeed a troublemaker."

As the head of gossip, Eric had already heard all kinds of gossip about the two colleges. According to him, in the entire Faken College, not only Mo Ye is a troublemaker, but other team members are also troublemakers.

The school policy of Falcon College and Fallet are like two extremes. They value students' personal abilities more. Falcon College draws the most SSR cards every year on the card drawing day, and their card masters are more unruly.

Eric could not finish talking about their deeds in a day and a night.

"Really?" Someone couldn't help but say, "I think they all respect their captain!"

Eric looked at him meaningfully: "If the others are just troublemakers, Carlos is a monster."

"It is said that when they just formed a team, the others were not convinced by Carlos at first, so Carlos asked them to take turns to fight him, and he beat them into submission directly."

Everyone was stunned.

"Is this... so strong?"

Eric sighed: "I'm afraid it's even stronger than we imagined..."

Gu Xingmian secretly glanced at Xiao Qiong, and saw that he was looking at Carlos on the screen, and a strong fighting spirit rose in his eyes.

Xiao Qiong was always indifferent, and he rarely saw him like this.

On the screen, Fu Fengye and Carlos had already fought together.

Compared with the brief confrontation at the opening ceremony, they were completely free at this time, and exclamations continued to come from the room.

Gu Xingmian felt that his eyes could hardly see, and the movements of the two people almost appeared in afterimages. Gu Xingmian couldn't even tell who was better, and could only judge from the wounds that kept appearing on the two people.

At this moment, he heard Xiao Qiong sigh: "Fu Feng Ye lost."

Gu Xingmian was stunned for a moment. It was clear on the screen that the two were fighting hard. How could he tell that Fu Feng Ye lost?

Xiao Qiong seemed to think that there was no need to watch anymore, so he retracted his gaze. When he turned around, he saw Gu Xingmian looking at him in confusion. After thinking for a while, he explained to him: "Fu Feng Ye just lost a move. In a duel between masters like this, only this little mistake can basically determine the victory or defeat."

He finished speaking.

The mother sword in Fu Feng Ye's hand was kicked away by Carlos, and then he was hit hard by the auxiliary card shot by Carlos. Then he was pressed to the ground by Carlos who followed him like a ghost and pressed his knee against his throat.

Gu Xingmian: "!"

Xiao Qiong frowned slightly: "He clearly had a better move just now, why did he use this one?"

"Boss, you don't know this." Eric couldn't help but said, "Didn't I say that Carlos is a performative personality. He not only wants to defeat the opponent, but also wants to defeat the opponent in the direction that the opponent is best at. But he wins every time, so he is called a genius among geniuses!"

Listening to the broadcast of Fu Fengye's elimination, everyone had only two words for Carlos in their hearts-terrible!

Only Xiao Qiong, the fighting spirit in his eyes became stronger.

After Fu Fengye was eliminated, the other members of Tianhe Academy seemed to be affected, but Tianhe Academy still had some skills. They fought tenaciously to the end, and the last person was eliminated by Carlos.

Everyone sighed deeply.

Even if they were just watching, they could feel how intense this match was, and they even held their breath at the end.

Now that the result is out, everyone feels heavy in their hearts when they think that the next match will be with Faken College.

If they can choose, they would rather compete with Tianhe College. It’s not that Tianhe College is weak, but that ancient martial artists are all upright. Even if they lose, they can regard it as a competition, and at most they will suffer some physical injuries.

In comparison, Carlos is simply a murderer. If he loses, he might develop a psychological shadow.

Unfortunately, Tianhe still lost.

As the broadcast announced the victory of Faken College, everyone suddenly found that Carlos's eyes were looking at the camera.

There was still blood on his face, and the corner of his lips was smiling carelessly, but his eyes were filled with the greed and concentration of a beast seeing its prey.

"Xiao Qiong, I'll wait for you in the next game!"

Xiao Qiong narrowed his eyes slightly, as if touched by his gaze, and a bloodthirsty desire emerged in his heart.

However, the next second, Gu Xingmian jumped up and said angrily: "Who does this bastard look down on! Let's beat him up in the next game!!"

Xiao Qiong: "..."

At this moment, he had no desire at all, and could only sigh helplessly, but looking at Gu Xingmian's indignant look, he couldn't help but smile faintly.

Carlos's declaration of war instantly triggered a fierce discussion, and the Card Alliance updated the data again. This time, Carlos' ranking surpassed Xiao Qiong again.

Therefore, all the major gambling sites added the results of the competition between Carlos and Xiao Qiong overnight.

With Xiao Qiong's performance in the past few rounds, the gambling was finally not as one-sided as it was at the beginning. The results of the gambling changed every day, but there were still more people supporting Carlos. In the end, it stayed at 7:3, Carlos 7, Xiao Qiong 3. There were

even more people paying attention to this than the results of the next match between Fallet and Tianhe.

However, just when everyone was discussing it in full swing, another piece of heavy news completely overshadowed them.

It turned out that the card maker family was offering a huge reward to find the mysterious host on the card maker forum.

Gu Xingmian knew that it was impossible to keep it a secret for so long. According to Grove, the independent card makers couldn't find him, so they told the card maker family the news, hoping to use them to get rid of the mysterious owner.

Human nature is like this, and Gu Xingmian was not surprised.

After the card maker family learned the news, they were really shocked and angry, not that they were really so stupid that they didn't find anything unusual.

But firstly, the mysterious host had not released the star pattern for a long time, and secondly, they had been used to oppressing and despising card maker apprentices and independent card makers for so many years. They regarded these people as their own pigs and dogs, so how could they think that the pigs and dogs would betray them?

By the time they found out, it was too late. The star pattern had spread too widely, and it was almost impossible for them to take it back even if they wanted to.

They could only try to control their apprentice card makers, but many of them had already heard the news from the forum and fled early, leaving them empty-handed.

The popularity of the Card Maker Family has plummeted. On the one hand, they sent people to hunt down the defected card maker apprentices and independent card makers, and on the other hand, they issued a huge reward to catch the mysterious owner who put them in such a situation.

Gu Xingmian was a little worried about Grove's situation. After all, the amount of the reward was really shocking. Even if Grove said that he had dealt with all the clues, what if?

Who knew that Grove sneered and said, "Don't worry, the situation is different now. The Card Maker Family has lost their biggest bargaining chip."

It's a pity that they haven't realized it yet. They are still arrogant and conceited, thinking that they are the gods who dominate everything.

But they don't know that in the dark, a change is brewing.
