Chapter 162 Flame Emperor Medal
Miao Xue walked out slowly from the backstage. Her Miao-style clothing made her skin look white and delicate. The layers of silver jewelry sparkled under the lights, looking very beautiful.
When they saw Miao Xue appear on stage, many people in the audience were stunned.
Another young man came?
hiss……
Are there so many talented people this year?
It would be fine if they were just young, but why are their grades so high, one first and one third?
Some card makers who were ranked lower couldn't help but blush slightly and began to feel a little embarrassed.
broken.
They reported the wrong class...
There are so many gods this time!
If they had known they would run into these people, they would have signed up a year later... But that wouldn't work. After this year, all the decks participating in the armament overhaul will probably be mechanical. They probably won't even be able to make it to the preliminaries for the projects they have now.
Thinking of this, they felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, the project did not fall into turmoil.
On the stage, Miao Xueluoluo generously explained the Mustard Seed Flying Gu and various card combinations.
Everyone naturally listened attentively, but for some reason, although Miao Xue could be called a child of destiny, in the eyes of everyone today, she seemed a little mediocre.
Well...it's all Yu Cang's fault. He has raised the standard of genius in their hearts so much.
There were only a few core soul cards in the Miaodu deck, so Miao Xue's introduction ended quickly. After she bowed to express her gratitude, she looked at the slightly indifferent reactions from the audience and sighed silently in her heart.
Originally, she should have been the one to accept everyone's admiration for Cang.
Alas, it was her bad luck that she happened to catch up with this class.
but……
Miao Xue's eyes swept across the ancient capital quietly, and a hint of expectation flashed in her bright eyes.
If you can meet such a contemporary genius, then bad luck will turn into good fortune!
Miao Xue's smile grew even wider. She bowed again and then slowly returned to the backstage.
…
"This Mustard Seed Flying Gu is indeed very interesting." Yu Cang nodded affirmatively. "A cheap, yet practical teleportation ability... It's worthy of being called the Armament Overhaul. A deck of this caliber can only be ranked third."
Yu Cang turned his head and found that Lin Yunqing's face was full of thought. He couldn't help but ask curiously: "Yunqing, what's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
"...Senior." Lin Yunqing frowned slightly. After a moment, she raised her head and looked at Yu Cang with a serious look in her eyes. "This Miao Xue might like you."
Yu Cang: "...are you kidding me?"
"Believe me, my intuition is very accurate."
"Come on, your guesses on this kind of thing are getting more outrageous than the last."
…
After the Miao capital, it was the turn of the imperial capital.
After the host announced the show, Wu Chutai walked to the front desk with an expressionless face. Looking at the huge crowd of people below the stage, he took a deep breath.
...Whatever.
"Hello everyone, I'm Wu Chutai, the...explainer for this Imperial Capital project."
After saying that, Wu Chutai quickly switched to the PPT and started explaining directly.
Many people in the audience nodded, ready to listen attentively, but some were stunned.
Huh? Wait.
Shouldn’t the narrator be the person in charge?
They immediately turned their attention to the big screen. Although Wu Chutai switched quickly, many people still saw it clearly -
In the column for responsible person, the name written is Duan Feng!
Duan Feng? Who is this senior?
Some people were stunned and looked around the imperial capital, but they didn't find anyone with more seniority than Wu Chutai.
Didn’t come?
Some people suddenly looked moved and quickly opened their personal terminals to check.
In order to build momentum for Duan Feng, the four major families had no intention of concealing some of his information. All of it was the kind that could be found at a glance, so when they saw that Duan Feng was just a junior in college, they all gasped.
This... is another genius?
Wait, that's not right.
Even if Duan Feng is a genius, he doesn't have such a big face that he lets his mentor be the lecturer but he himself doesn't come?
In Yu Cang's and Miao Xue's project teams, there weren't any senior members. In Miao Xue's project team, there were only a few researchers assisting.
And Wu Chutai in the stands looked reluctant, clearly just trying to get by. This Duan Feng...
At that moment, they all realized something and an interesting look appeared in their eyes.
Combined with Wu Chutai's previous actions, they suddenly realized.
"I was wondering why this old guy was so overly sensitive." Yun Yan said with a half-smile, "So, his own achievements were taken away by others, and he thought Yu Cang did the same thing... Hahahaha, I haven't seen such an idiot in a long time."
Now that I think about it, Wu Chutai’s previous questioning of Yu Cang’s achievements was attributed to “Senior Lin Yunqing”… Isn’t this Wu Chutai introducing himself!
The difference is that Lin Yunqing is just Yu Cang's assistant. And this Wu Chutai... hehe.
It’s really interesting to help your own students... The most interesting thing is that Yu Cang, who ranked first, was a student of Wu Chutai before!
Yun Yan shook his head.
After today, Wu Chutai will probably become famous.
But, he was called a clown.
Soon, more and more people in the audience realized this. For a moment, the huge amount of information contained in it directly occupied their thoughts, making them all show strange expressions.
Well, he gave such an important achievement as the armament overhaul to his student, who also happened to have a complicated background... Just thinking about it would tell you that there must be some ulterior motive behind this.
Originally, this kind of thing was not worth their fuss, but it just so happened that Yu Cang, the genius who was expelled from Wu Chutai's school for "plagiarism", had just crushed everyone present with an overwhelming advantage.
Yu Cang's ability is endorsed by the jury, so they are naturally more willing to believe it. In contrast, the truth of this "plagiarism" seems to be clear at a glance.
For a moment, everyone present lost interest in listening to Wu Chutai's explanation. Whispers gradually rose in the venue, and some people even openly expressed their disgust for Wu Chutai on the stage.
"Wow..." Jin Zhaoshan laughed mockingly, "That really fits my stereotype of the academic world."
Lao Bai's eyes widened slightly: "You even scolded me?"
"You are the exception."
Lao Bai rolled his eyes.
"But, this is really exciting... Lao Bai, I find that I like this kid named Yu Cang more and more." Jin Zhaoshan's eyes sparkled. "After being expelled from the sect, he used his strength to show off and slap his master in the face. Damn, this is too cool. And think about it, Yu Cang and Wu Chutai happened to participate in the same major armaments reform this year. How could it be such a coincidence? This major armaments reform might be Yu Cang's deliberate revenge! Oh my god, this is too awesome!"
"...That's too much," Lao Bai disagreed. "According to the data, Yu Cang was expelled from the sect only a year ago. In such a short time, he created a mechanical card deck specifically for revenge? Even a genius can't do that... After all, you can see that this mechanical card deck is already a fully mature one. It's definitely not something that can be churned out in such a short time."
Unexpectedly, upon hearing what Lao Bai said, Jin Zhaoshan's eyes brightened even more. He patted Lao Bai on the shoulder and said, "I'm relieved when you say that. Tsk, you look so youthful. That's what young people should be like!"
Lao Bai swallowed.
No, what do you mean.
I am analyzing it seriously with you!
Lao Bai opened his mouth and was about to say something in rebuttal, but when he thought of his "horrible performance" in the past few days, he swallowed the words back.
Moreover, my heart has begun to waver.
Could it be that what Jin Zhaoshan said was right?
…
The discussion in the audience gradually became undisguised, and was loud enough that Wu Chutai on the stage could hear it clearly.
Some people even deliberately discussed loudly to see Wu Chutai's reaction.
He quietly clenched his hand under the podium into a fist, and veins bulged on the back of his hand.
hateful……
Taking a deep breath, Wu Chutai forced himself to calm down. He ignored the voices and continued with his explanation.
But in fact, his heart was already in chaos.
Damn, why is this project so long! Why do I have to explain so many soul cards?
If I had known earlier, I would have made fewer soul cards!
Wu Chutai used all his strength, even his soul energy, to keep his expression calm and make him look normal, but in fact, he was thinking about escaping from this place as soon as possible every second.
Damn it, how could it become like this!
If Yu Cang hadn't participated in the competition, if they were first, if I hadn't been the first to step forward...things wouldn't have come to this!
Even though the Imperial Capital is currently ranked fourth, if Ancient Capital had not participated, they might have been first.
It was the strong performance of the ancient capital that changed the jury's view, allowing Miaodu and Youdu, two cities with both outstanding advantages and disadvantages, to rank ahead of the imperial capital.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs.
Everything he had done in the past regarding Cang had led to the situation where he was standing on the stage and accepting everyone's mocking gazes.
The short ten minutes of presentation on the stage seemed as long as a year in Wu Chutai's heart. By the time he finally turned over the last page of the PPT, his back was already drenched in cold sweat.
"That's all I have to say... Thank you very much!"
Wu Chutai said this with gritted teeth, turned around and left the podium.
In the audience.
Wen Yang put on his clothes and patted Hu Chen on the shoulder.
"Let's go, don't watch it anymore."
"Ah?" Hu Chen was stunned. "Where are we going? The report meeting hasn't ended yet..."
"Why are you still watching the lecture?" Wen Yang said helplessly, "Do you think the teacher will come back to watch it again? Hurry up and leave. If you don't leave now, be careful that the teacher will take his anger out on you when he comes back."
"...You're right. Let's go, hurry up."
One side.
Wu Chutai's old friend has disappeared, and it seems that he has realized that he has embarrassed him.
…
"Tsk." Jiang Shan sneered. "He can't even handle this little bit of pressure? I thought he was so courageous. If he could sit here and read an entire report without changing his expression, then I'd admire him."
Qiu Zhong shook his head: "It's just self-humiliation."
Wang Manxiao sighed helplessly: "Do I really need to talk to him about this?"
Judging from Wu Chutai's current reaction, he probably won't be able to stay here until tomorrow. He might not be able to bear the humiliation and fly back tonight.
After the report meeting was over, he probably wouldn't be able to find Wu Chutai.
It's a shame that you gave yourself such a name. Your mentality is not "Chu Tai" at all.
"There's no need to force it." Jiang Shan said casually, "Anyway, his opinion is not important."
Wang Manxiao nodded slowly: "That's right."
After the imperial capital is the divine capital.
Their self-contained decks were greatly affected by the Ancient Capital, and their rankings were far below expectations.
Among these affected decks, God is the one that is most affected.
Originally, their system weaknesses were obvious, and they could only rely on tactics to win, but they were directly defeated by Gu Duyang in the ring match. Not only did it fail to have a deterrent effect, it also exposed some of their abilities, and they were defeated everywhere in the match.
The reason they can get fifth place at this moment is that they are strong enough... In fact, the more important reason is that there are no other teams that can beat them.
Yun Yan's appearance also attracted a lot of people's attention. They were all curious about the specific principles of the Dragon Running Sword.
Yun Yan's explanation did not go beyond Yu Cang's guess.
"I feel like this deck isn't particularly suitable for the Armament Overhaul," Yu Cang said. "It might be more suitable for Soul Master Duel tournaments... However, the current Dragon Sprint Sword still seems a bit underdeveloped. Once the ability to directly send it to death cooldown is perfected, or if it's combined with other mainstream Dragon decks, it should become a very strong competitive deck."
Lin Yunqing stroked his glasses. "Come to think of it... Zhong Lin said back then that this deck borrowed from both the Divine Capital and the Spirit Capital's Mythical Soul Cards. Now it seems like, while there's a bit of exaggeration, it should still be somewhat credible."
Shendu has the mythical soul card "Emperor Wu's Sword" of Emperor Wu, and Lingdu has the mythical field soul card "Four Seas Dragon Ruins" held by Emperor Sheng. After downgrading the abilities of these two soul cards many times... it seems that one can indeed obtain the Dragon Rush Sword.
…
After that, nothing worth mentioning happened.
After the Ancient Capital, no other team has ever enjoyed the treatment of having the entire audience stand up, or in other words, since the Armament Reform, no team has probably enjoyed such treatment.
Yu Cang was still confused as to why everyone stood up to greet him.
Although my achievements are indeed very strong, it shouldn’t be like this.
Yu Cang would never have thought that such a grand gift was actually initiated by Wu Chutai.
After ten teams finished their reports, the report meeting officially came to an end.
Jiangshan walked onto the stage and began to award medals to those who had performed outstandingly in this major military reform.
Yu Cang naturally had one too, so he came to the backstage early to wait.
There were quite a few people who received medals this time. For example, everyone in Fang Pei's team received a third-level military medal, and Fang Pei himself even received a second-level one.
Moreover, because of the appearance of a high-ranking legend later, Wan Quan directly obtained a first-level military medal!
You know, generally speaking, this military merit can only be obtained by completing some life-threatening tasks.
However, after all, it was a head-on battle against a high-ranking legendary and he was killed, so it is understandable that he had such a military achievement... Although it was mainly the Weeping Girl who fought, but at least Wanquan was really there the whole time and provided all the soul energy.
This is also the reason why Wan Quan insisted on coming to the scene even though he was so exhausted.
Looking at Jiangshan wearing the military medal on his left chest, his body was completely straight, and his originally pale face was now flushed.
First-class military medal!
As long as you are a soldier, who doesn’t want to get this in his lifetime?
Normally, you would have to talk to the King of Hell to get it, but now you have it.
Who wouldn’t be excited?
That's all he could say about this.
Master Yu Cang is awesome!
Yu Cang, who was in the backstage, saw Wan Quan's reaction, smiled and said nothing.
The major armament overhaul will only give you a first-level military medal at most. Since Wanquan got it, I should get it too.
He was also very excited at this time.
Whether in the previous life or this life, this is the first military achievement in life.
Soon, the process was completed and everyone's medals had been awarded. Only Yu Cang was left. Obviously, it was his turn to make his debut.
Hearing his name being called at the front desk, Yu Cang took a deep breath and slowly walked out from the backstage. In an instant, light spread out, dispelling all the shadows under his feet.
Yu Cang slowly came to Jiangshan. At this moment, the old man who used to be a little unruly in front of him was unusually serious.
"Yu Cang." Jiang Shan had a faint smile on his face. "Due to your outstanding performance in this major armament overhaul, I hereby award you a first-class military medal!"
Yu Cang didn't say anything, but just straightened his chest and let Jiang Shan wear the medal on his chest.
…
In the audience.
Qi'er held Ye Lai in his arms, his big eyes blinking as he looked straight at Yu Cang.
My luck... is too good.
The brother who saved me is not only the most gentle person in the world, but also so outstanding!
She has been living in the Fire Star Club and has never seen the outside world. She has no idea about the achievements made by Yu Cang, and Mrs. Yu will not teach her these.
But along the way, from the attitudes of the people around him towards Cang and the comparison between them, Qi'er has slowly realized one thing.
Her brother's talent is greater than everyone she knows, everyone!
Ye Lai did not take a nap at this time, and his eyes were still on Yu Cang. However, in his eyes, in addition to appreciation and affirmation, there was also a hint of reminiscence.
Hmm... a very familiar feeling.
They are all equally brilliant, equally high-spirited, and equally the center of attention.
But the face in the light changed again and again.
The figures in my memory have long become blurred, and I have forgotten them, perhaps because of the erosion of chaos, or perhaps because of the instinct of self-preservation.
But, anyway...
This time, it must be the last time.
If Yu Cang cannot escape his final fate, he will not run away this time.
Lord of this body... please grow up quickly. I have been waiting for the day when I can fight alongside you.
…
aside.
Lin Yunqing looked at Yu Cang on the stage, and a smile appeared on his usually expressionless face.
She took out her personal terminal and took a photo.
Then - sent it to Gu Jieshuang.
The next second, Gu Jieshuang replied.
-
——! -
Take more pictures, take more pictures!
Lin Yunqing ignored her and thought for a moment.
I sent another copy of this photo to Ren Zheng.
A moment later.
-
good.
…
Miao Xue looked up at Yu Cang on the stage with a dazed expression, not knowing what he was thinking.
aside.
Miao Lei and Miao Feng looked at each other.
Miao Feng suddenly came closer and whispered, "Oh no, big brother, I'm afraid he's not interested in that Yu Cang..."
Miao Lei frowned slightly and didn't say anything.
Miao Feng said again: "Brother, do you think we should tell grandma?"
"I did."
"Ahh, that's good...eh?"
Miao Feng was stunned and suddenly realized that this voice did not sound like that of his elder brother.
His body stiffened and he turned his head woodenly, only to find Miao Xue looking at him sinisterly.
"Tell...told?" Miao Feng's brain seemed to be in a state of turmoil.
This statement contains a lot of information.
So, my little sister admitted it? And...my grandma also agreed?
"This...hiss!" Miao Feng suddenly felt a pain in his waist and almost cried out.
Miao Xue withdrew her little hand and snorted.
"If you dare to have such nonsense again, I will feed all your soul energy to the insect!"
"Okay, okay..." Cold sweat broke out on Miao Feng's forehead.
Miao Lei swallowed silently and said nothing.
…
Yu Cang took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and was about to step down from the podium when Jiang Shan spoke again:
"And—" His expression turned serious, and he said very seriously, "An additional award: the Flame Emperor Medal!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Cang's eyes widened in an instant, and his brain went blank for a moment.
What medal?
While he was stunned, Jiangshan had already hung a heavy medal on Yu Cang's chest.
The medal is surrounded by blazing golden flames, and in the center is a black bird with gorgeous feathers. This is the original mythical totem of the Yan Kingdom - the Yanhuang Black Bird!
hiss!
In the audience, everyone couldn't help but gasp when they heard Jiang Shan's words.
Wait, the Flame Emperor Medal?
One of the highest-level medals in Yan Country?
But... this isn't right. Although the Mechanical deck is very powerful, getting the Flame Emperor Medal with it... is unrealistic, or even impossible.
Besides, Yu Cang is so young...
While everyone was discussing this, Jiang Shan had already put on the Flame Emperor Medal. He then turned around and said seriously:
"I know you may still have many doubts, but I can tell you clearly: Yu Cang's current achievements are already worthy of the Flame Emperor Medal! However, many of the results are still confidential, so I can't tell you yet. If you are interested, you can look forward to it."
…
In the corner.
The military card makers who came from afar all nodded slightly.
They came here today to authorize the awarding of the Flame Emperor Medal.
In fact, it was Ren Zheng who first handed them the proposal. If someone else had submitted this application, they would have thought that person was crazy.
Awarding the Flame Emperor Medal to a young man in his twenties? What a joke!
But this person is Ren Zheng, a guardian of the country.
They formed a temporary team specifically for this purpose and began to secretly investigate Cang.
The result was unexpected.
Thanks to book friend 20220701210007899 for the reward!
