Chapter 33: Behead!

Aside from the enrollment personnel from various Academies, the Mayor of Zhenhai City and the Military Commander of Zhenhai City's Guard Army, along with a series of other powerful figures, were all in this room observing the performances of the contestants.

A large screen displayed myriad smaller screens.

On this large screen, virtually every location in the Grotto Heaven simulation was visible to them.

If they wished to focus on a specific contestant's performance, they could also keep the camera fixed on that contestant.

Or they could zoom in directly on a certain area.

Just as they were doing now.

They were also very interested in a contestant who was making cards live during the Grotto Heaven simulation assessment.

"Ah, a flash of white light, does this mean the card making was successful?" an Academy enrollment officer joked.

"But it's just a white quality card, is there a need to rush and make it like this?"

"I'm suddenly curious about what effect this card has," the Mayor of Zhenhai City suddenly said with a smile.

Just as the Mayor of Zhenhai City finished speaking, a small screen appeared on the large screen, showing the figure of Jiang Yuan.

The screen stayed fixed on the contestant, which was one of the functionalities of this large screen.

"How is it?"

The flashing of the white light excited Mu Qianshan and Zhou Dongshan as well, and they quickly turned to Jiang Yuan to ask.

Jiang Yuan didn't speak, he just reached out to take the rotating card in front of him.

[Dagger of Monster Slaying]

Quality: White

Type: Skill Card (1/1)

Skill:

[Monster Slay]: Inflicts double damage to the Monster Race!

[Slay]: Instantly slays targets with lower spiritual power than the user! (Calculates spiritual power defense equipment. Effective with the same quality equipment.)

The skill is ineffective if the target exceeds the user by one Great Realm!

Upon seeing the information for [Dagger of Monster Slaying], Jiang Yuan couldn't help but feel joy.

He did not expect it to target spiritual power.

But then again, the mythical Dagger of Immortal Slaying was designed to attack the soul.

It makes sense, it makes sense.

Jiang Yuan smiled happily, if his guess was not wrong, [Dagger of Monster Slaying] could more easily slay members of the Monster Race.

As long as the target's spiritual power didn't exceed his own by too much, he could achieve [Slay].

Just not sure how much 'exceeding' is.

In any case, it definitely isn't twice his own.

But…

After his moment of joy, Jiang Yuan's brows furrowed.

Although indeed powerful, capable of achieving an instant kill effect.

But the restrictions are just as strong.

[Dagger of Monster Slaying], could it be used against other races?

Also, if the target's spiritual power is stronger than his own, would [Dagger of Monster Slaying] fail or?

Another aspect of [Slay] takes into consideration spiritual power defense cards and only cards of the same quality are effective.

In that case, if the target has a blue quality spiritual power defense card, would [Dagger of Monster Slaying] be ineffective?

And a Great Realm means, can it [Slay] targets below the mid-stage of Xuanxiao?

Or can it only slay within the same Realm?

"What's wrong, isn't the effect good?"

Seeing Jiang Yuan frowning after initially being happy, Mu Qianshan couldn't help but feel anxious.

This card was presumably made for him.

Was Jiang Yuan's expression due to the effect not meeting his expectations?

"The effect is quite good, it can kill instantly."

Jiang Yuan handed the card to Mu Qianshan, and surely enough, Mu Qianshan's first reaction was excitement, but the next second his brows were furrowed.

"Isn't this limitation too big?"

"Indeed, it is quite significant."

Jiang Yuan nodded, took back the card, and handed it to Zhou Dongshan who was equally curious beside him.

Zhou Dongshan had the same expression, first happy, then frowning deeply.

"I'm really curious about what kind of card he has made. Why do they have such an expression with a white-quality card?"

The mayor had been watching Jiang Yuan and the others all along, and when he saw them like this, he also showed a curious expression.

Although the screen displayed the picture, it was basically without sound since there were too many images.

Similarly, due to the characteristics of the cards, one wouldn't know the information on them without holding them in hand.

So they were just looking in vain, only able to scratch their heads in curiosity.

"I'm quite curious too."

A hint of interested smile appeared on the bearded Military Commander's face.

"The eldest young master of the Mu Family, interesting."

After a soft mutter, the gaze of the bearded Military Commander also fell on Jiang Yuan.

With his perception, it was clear that the group of four was centered around Jiang Yuan.

But was there something wrong with that little guy's body?

The suspicious gaze of the bearded Military Commander looked at Jiang Yuan.

His movements were slow, and he seemed out of sync with the other three who were also at the mid-stage of Xingji Realm.

But observation was still needed.

"Shall we pick a target to try?"

"Sure, let's give it a try."

Mu Qianshan suggested, and Jiang Yuan accepted the suggestion.

Then Nezha dashed out like a streak of smoke.

"I'm going to lure them!"

"That's called drawing in monsters!"

Upon hearing Nezha's words, Jiang Yuan quickly stood up and shouted at Nezha.

What a daring phrase!

After shouting, Jiang Yuan and the others couldn't help but laugh.

Nezha moved quickly and soon brought back a late-stage Xingji Realm insect monster from the forest.

However, none of the three, including Jiang Yuan, reacted.

Apart from Jiang Yuan, Nezha alone could handle a late-stage Xingji opponent.

The insect monster was huge, almost the size of three Nezhas.

Its corpulent body topped with a large horn on its head clearly indicated its true form was a rhinoceros beetle.

The rhinoceros beetle had a human body and face, with only a short horn on its forehead.

It was unclear what Nezha did to provoke it, but at this moment, seeing it couldn't catch up with Nezha, it directly materialized a card.

In the next second, its hand turned into a long horn.

"Yuan, go get him!"

As Nezha shouted, Jiang Yuan pulled out the [Demon Slaying Dagger] targeting the horned monster.

With the injection of Jiang Yuan's Star Power, Mu Qianshan and Zhou Dongshan also closely watched Jiang Yuan.

At the same time, both the mayor and the Military Commander also took interest, curiously watching Jiang Yuan on the screen.

The moment the Star Power was fully injected, the card materialized!

A red gourd appeared in the air.

"Darling, please turn around!"

Just as Mu Qianshan and Zhou Dongshan were watching the gourd sitting quietly without any response, Jiang Yuan suddenly seemed to remember something and bowed slightly towards the gourd.

The moment Jiang Yuan's voice fell, something shot out rapidly from the mouth of the gourd.

Mu Qianshan watched carefully; it was clearly a small knife-like dagger with two little wings.

The blade moved fast, piercing through the head of the horned monster in an instant.

The late-stage Xingji horned monster fell to the ground instantly, evidently dead.

"What!"

The mayor and the Military Commander suddenly stood up, unbelievingly staring at the screen where the late-stage Xingji horned monster was already dead.
