Supreme Star Card Master-Chapter 324 - 264 The Arrogant Qiguang
Two days later, at noon.
Su Yuan came back to the dormitory from outside. Ruan Ruan, who had turned into a bracelet, suddenly reverted to its original form and leaped onto the table.
"Puchi puchi!"
Ruan Ruan transformed two small hands reaching out to Su Yuan, its eyes full of a thick look of anticipation.
Su Yuan smiled. The ring in his hand lit up, and a large 2-liter bottle of cola fell onto the table.
Ruan Ruan jumped up, grabbed the cola expertly, opened the bottle cap, and gulped it down. In a short moment, the big bottle of cola was already empty.
"Puchi!"
Ruan Ruan let out a burp, rubbed its belly, and then looked up at Su Yuan, jumping excitedly.
Su Yuan waved his hand, and three more big bottles of cola landed on the table.
"This is today's quota. After finishing these, there will be no more."
"Puchi!!"
Ruan Ruan's eyes lit up, immediately grabbed another bottle of cola, and guzzled it down.
Su Yuan watched Ruan Ruan enjoying drinking cola and didn't bother with it; he was ready to go upstairs to cultivate.
At this time, the phone on his body kept ringing "ding ding ding."
"What's happened?"
Su Yuan thought, taking out his phone and looking at the messages popping up on the screen. He couldn't help but frown...
A while later, in Su Yuan's room, Xia Yue, Xiang Dingqian, Shang Baiyu, Zhang Tai, and others had already arrived.
"The Qiguang students are not going directly to Capitol City but are coming to our Demon Capital Academy?" Zhang Tai frowned.
Shang Baiyu nodded. "Yes, on the surface, it's said that the student delegation from Qiguang wants to learn about the high skills of geniuses from various academies in Great Flame."
"In fact, they just want to challenge all the top academies in Great Flame, starting from our Demon Capital Academy, which is ranked third in this national competition."
Xiang Dingqian snorted coldly. "Making a name and creating hype, this is something Qiguang people do well!"
If the Qiguang student delegation directly went to Capitol City College and defeated the national championship team, it would undoubtedly cause a massive sensation domestically and internationally.
But would that be enough?
Compared to directly striking the Yellow Dragon, how about starting from Demon Capital Academy, defeating Demon Capital Academy, and Demon Academy consecutively, eventually challenging Capitol Capital College? The impact would be massive!
Student exchange activities are minor, but this is one of the rare direct confrontations between Qiguang and Great Flame over the years, carrying significant meaning.
If Qiguang succeeds, ordinary people and students in Great Flame will likely become increasingly disappointed and even lose some confidence in Great Flame after seeing Qiguang students repeatedly defeating the three top academies.
After all, if the youth are strong, the country is strong. The level of the young reflects, to some extent, the level of the leadership and even the country.
And for Qiguang, "Invincible, the delegation challenged and defeated multiple top academies in Great Flame!" such news, when sent back home, will indeed depreciate Great Flame considerably in front of the public while glorifying Qiguang!
Du Tao snorted. "Treating our Demon Capital Academy as a pushover!"
Shang Baiyu, however, looked serious. "Daring to do so means Qiguang's academy delegation is very confident and not afraid of exposing their techniques."
Since Qiguang wants to challenge the top academies in Great Flame in succession, the students sent must be fixed. Changing students between each academy would render the challenge meaningless.
In a fixed scenario, as long as these Qiguang students display any techniques, the teachers and students of the Three Capitals Academy as well as top experts sent by Great Flame officials, will thoroughly understand them.
How to crack, respond, and evade them... The strong of the three academies can provide a large number of targeted suggestions.
In this case, even if Qiguang students can defeat Demon Capital Academy, Demon Academy would undoubtedly have detailed and targeted personnel assignments and strategies ready when it's their turn for the challenge! Trying to win again? Very hard indeed!
When both sides' strengths are close, individual abilities, skills, and trump cards' information become especially important.
To ignore this information gap, one must have a much superior strength level.
So Qiguang's delegation dares to do this means they have considerable confidence in their students!
Everyone in the classroom understood this concept as well.
But no one would be happy if their own academy was treated as a stepping stone and a pushover.
After all, even if Demon Capital Academy lost, and Demon Academy won, it wouldn't be a good thing for Demon Capital Academy.
People would remember "After Demon Capital Academy was defeated, Demon Academy overpowered and suppressed Qiguang's student delegation!"
Su Yuan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Xia Yue, do we have information on the Qiguang student delegation?"
Most people present didn't know much about Qiguang Country in the north. They didn't even know which academies Qiguang had.
After all, their focus had been on their cultivation for over a year; Qiguang Country was still too far away.
But juniors and seniors probably know quite a bit.
Xia Yue looked serious. "This is what I was about to mention. In Qiguang, the top-tier academies are the four hall-level academies, and this delegation comes from merely one of these academies!"
"Just one?!"
Everyone was shocked, and Su Yuan was equally surprised.
Initially, everyone assumed the Qiguang student delegation was coming to display their strength to Great Flame, so they would gather forces from numerous academies and select the best students.
But now it seems it's just from one of the four top-tier academies?
Xia Yue continued, "This academy is called the Bauhinia Academy, and it ranks third among the academies in Qiguang."
With this, Zhang Tai's hot temper boiled over. "Third place, and they want to challenge the top three?! Watch how our Demon Capital Academy will hammer them!"
Xiang Dingqian and others frowned deeply. This is too arrogant!
One academy ranking third in Qiguang, yet they dare to challenge Demon Capital Academy, Demon Academy, and Capitol Capital College?
Xia Yue said, "They will arrive in Demon Capital tomorrow."
Su Yuan nodded. "Then we will have a clearer picture tomorrow."
"Let's go then. See you tomorrow," Xiang Dingqian called out.
They chatted for a while longer before preparing to leave. Xia Yue didn't seem to have the intention of standing up.
"Xia Yue, aren't you leaving?" Zhang Tai couldn't help but ask.
Xia Yue's body tensed, almost standing up.
Luckily, Shang Baiyu pulled Zhang Tai away. "Maybe they have something to discuss. Let's go first."
Shang Baiyu rubbed his forehead, silently cursing Zhang Tai for being so blunt.
He is so steady in the "Mountain Formation" state during battles. How can he not understand a simple situation in his regular "Fire" state?
"Anything to discuss..."
Before Zhang Tai finished his words, Du Tao covered his mouth, then the two escorted Zhang Tai out without looking back.
"This guy, how can he be so dumb!"
Xia Yue was furious. She stayed naturally, but Zhang Tai's outburst made the atmosphere in the room somewhat awkward...
Xia Yue's face turned a bit red, and she wished she could throw dozens of fireballs at Zhang Tai's face!
"By the way, do you have anything else to hand me for selling?" Xia Yue suddenly thought of a topic and asked Su Yuan.
Su Yuan thought briefly, then took out a dozen Blue Star Cards. "Yes, I do."
These were from the time when he hunted Master Star Beasts in the Transversal Mountain Range, including the Pan Yan Yellow Crystal Wall from the Pan Yan Giant Bull.
As for normal and elite-grade Star Cores, apart from the Gold Level ones fed to Ruan Ruan, the rest had been extracted and converted to Star Dust.
Even the Star Core of the Shining Star Level Bull Demon had been given to Ruan Ruan for devouring and digesting to accelerate its growth...
"So many Blue Cards!"
Xia Yue was surprised. She casually brought up the topic, not expecting Su Yuan to produce so many Blue Star Cards!
Su Yuan pushed the Blue Cards towards Xia Yue. "It's nothing, just a small favor."
"No problem, piece of cake!" Xia Yue quickly glanced at them and put the Star Cards away. "I'll call someone from Demon Capital's branch to pick them up after tomorrow's event. You won't leave suddenly, right?"
Su Yuan nodded. "I won't for now."
Xia Yue smiled. "That's good!"
This topic eased the tension in the room.
Xia Yue asked, "By the way Su Yuan, regarding the Qiguang students coming to exchange with us from Great Flame, do you think there's any possibility the Bauhinia Academy students can successfully challenge the top three academies?"
Su Yuan pondered again.
"Since Qiguang allowed this action by the Bauhinia Academy, they must have enough confidence. Otherwise, it would be a slap in their face.
Rather than being certain of defeating the top three academies, they must be confident to at least defeat two."
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.
Xia Yue nodded. "Yes, that sounds acceptable. Otherwise, challenging the top three academies sounds exaggerated."
"It's difficult..."
Su Yuan thought. Although there were no monsters like Xia Xuan in the upper classes of the Three Capitals Academy, they were not weak.
For example, last term's standout performers like Capitol City Jiang Jiu, Demon Capital Xiong Ba, and Demon Capital's Qin Jia.
With these experts from the Three Capitals Academy present, even if a monster like Xia Xuan appeared among Qiguang's student delegation, they could subdue them!
Especially Capitol City Championship team leader Jiang Jiu, who had now reached the Gold Limit and had formidable strength.
However, Su Yuan suddenly thought of the black-haired girl from Qiuyun Mountain and the long-haired youth from the Earth Cave at Burning Ridge.
"If it's like this..." Su Yuan's eyes narrowed.
"What are you thinking, Su Yuan?" Xia Yue asked.
Su Yuan hesitated. "Nothing."
"Really?" Xia Yue didn't press further.
