Chapter 854 Gods' Game: Card Swapping 98
— "Teammates who are so strong in team competitions that you have no worries will become headaches for you in individual and fun competitions."
What did she say at that time?
"Are Arcane and Melting Mountain really good at teaching apprentices?"
"Arcane... I can only say that every now and then, she can train a brilliant apprentice: Wrong Answer—Bourne—Wailing—Molten Mountain. As for Molten Mountain... the only thing I can be sure of is that, with his strength and demeanor, if he said he wanted to find an academy to be a teacher, all nine magic academies would be vying for him, and the smaller magic academies would even be willing to let him be their headmaster."
"Oh, and what about you?"
"What?"
"If you declare that you're willing to be a teacher, will the nine major magic academies fight over you?"
"...Yes, of course, absolutely."
"Are you afraid not to rob it?"
"If you're under too much pressure and don't want to live anymore, you can just say so."
…
Each apprentice considered a favorite to win has their own top-tier skills... and items.
This information was compiled and summarized from various intelligence points starting last year.
It seems that the third-year apprentices who emerged starting from Astrana 169 all possessed top-notch skills and items.
Time-manipulation techniques, theft techniques, invincibility techniques, control techniques, copying techniques, deprivation techniques, damage reflection techniques, damage transfer techniques...
A surge of geniuses has emerged.
The same applies to third-year students born in 170 and 171.
Although this was Mirror Goose's first time participating in the Gods' Game, he was already a favorite to win in various underground casinos before even participating, all because he had a skill called "early retirement".
The terrifying thing about this skill is that once you are marked by it, all skills used in the last 6 hours will be temporarily banned and unusable.
Yu Xunge and Maple Syrup had already purchased important information before participating in the Gods' Game and had made preparations before facing the Mirror Goose.
The moment they saw the Mirror Goose, they not only figured out in advance which skills they would be banned, but also prepared for the possibility that the information might be inaccurate.
However, to their surprise, the actual situation was even more serious than they had imagined.
Mirror Goose's "Early Retirement" skill can disable all non-item skills used in the last 6 Star Sea Days!
Moreover, he can mark three targets at the same time!
In a single encounter, Yu Xunge and Maple Syrup's skills were reduced by 95%.
The two of them exclaimed in surprise.
Yu Xunge said, "...Where did you buy this cheat?!"
Maple Syrup: "How can this skill be even more shameless than your mysterious power?!"
Yu Xunge: ?
That wasn't the scariest part. At that moment, a squirrel no bigger than a palm appeared on the mirror goose.
It crouched on top of the mirror goose, pressing one claw down on the goose's head, while its other hand was aimed at the fog-bladed fat goose and the locomotive at the other end of the boat.
A beam of red light shot out instantly, linking the Mirror Goose with the Mist Blade, the Fat Goose, and the Motorcycle.
"How did the 'early retirement' policy get applied to us?!"
"...Are you kidding me?"
"Fat Goose, did you attract all this hatred?"
"I didn't!"
Their reaction did not slow down Mirror Goose and his companions' movements by even a fraction.
This skill package was originally prepared for the Xun Ge team!
The squirrel gave a short laugh, jumped down, and rushed towards Yu Xunge.
Miniature races are natural assassins, and when attributes and combat skills are comparable, the Howling Race always has a racial advantage over the Sun Chaser.
This sea squirrel named Songsong is a perfect example!
It laughed and said, "Buy one, get three! Like it?!"
The dagger in Songsong's hand was a white canine tooth, the origin of which was unknown, but in just a few rounds, it launched more than a dozen attacks on Yu Xunge.
However, the bubbles on Yu Xunge's body are still there. This is the skill of [Raging Moon]. She is not on the ban list, so she is currently safe.
The ability to "retire early" lasts for up to half an hour...
All they can rely on are their props and skills.
Taking advantage of the fact that [Bubble Nebula] was still absorbing damage, Yu Xunge simultaneously took over the attacks on Songsong and Mirror Goose.
Unfortunately, these two aren't idiots; even knowing her skill absorbs damage, they stubbornly continue attacking her.
Together they broke through Yu Xunge's defenses and headed straight for their driving area.
Yu Xunge grabbed the Mirror Goose's tail and used a skill he had never used in the Divine Game or Moonlight Wetlands before—[The Reverse Side of the Moon]!
Consumes 2% of mana to teleport a target to their most feared location!
The only risk is that she can't be sure if this skill can break through the God Game.
Is it possible to send the other person to the place he fears most in all of Astrana, or is it limited to this sea?
The wind whale, which almost filled the cockpit, disappeared instantly.
I haven't seen any mirror geese on the sea yet. Did I send him out of the game?!
Yu Xunge felt much less pressure and began to force Songsong back to their own boat, trying to relieve some of the pressure on Maple Sugar, whose health was only half left.
As they drew near, Yu Xunge said, "Change positions!"
Maple Syrup switched positions with her without hesitation. Her items and skills were all offensive, making her more suitable for killing Songsong one-on-one, while Yu Xunge was responsible for fighting and holding off the remaining three apprentices.
They each have their own mysterious tools, so it won't be easy to defeat them in a short time.
But it's unclear whether those mysterious entities were simply enjoying the spectacle or wanted to speed up the game's progress.
When it was time for another round of shots, the cue stick that had been aimed at boat number 5 gestured and then pointed in their direction.
As ship number 5 charged toward them, Yu Xunge glanced at the battlefield and cast a [Bubble Nebula] spell on all four of her teammates.
The fat goose laughed loudly, "I knew it! I knew you would bubble more than three times!"
Mistblade laughed, "You really know how to hide!"
Motorcycle: "I was touched. She didn't use this skill when she was demoted to Class B before."
Maple Syrup: "I thought you would hide it for a more important occasion."
Yu Xunge was amused by her teammates' reactions.
Many years have passed, and her personality has changed.
Zhu Ri is so dazzling that those who admire her will unconsciously chase after her and imitate her.
She is a sharp blade that is never sheathed, and her apprentices should be the same.
She used to only use it three times because there had never been a situation where she needed to summon the bubbles multiple times in a single day.
She will no longer hide her treasures for fear that others will covet and steal them.
If she dared to be so cowardly, Zhu Ri would surely be disappointed in her.
Boat number 5 collided with their boat and the mirror goose's boat, sending them sliding forward for hundreds of meters, getting closer and closer to the hole!
This was an extremely precise and powerful shot. If his own boat hadn't been the one about to be pushed into the hole, Yu Xunge would definitely have praised it as a great shot.
She gripped the boat's railing and tried to fly in the opposite direction to slow the boat down and prevent it from sliding into the hole.
“Well, my teacher also said that true geniuses never need to hide their talents.” With that, Maple Syrup threw her long spear forcefully toward the horizon, far from the hole.
"Thunderous Divine Grace!"
