Ever since that brief encounter with Blood Emperor, ch King had indeed quieted down for a while. At least, that’s what it seed like on the surface. Sa Ang also ntioned that fewer people had been targeting him at the Underground Arena recently.
Ard with the chanical Angel Deck Wen Jiang had given him, he had been dominating the Underground Arena lately. This attracted the attention of many who set their sights on this deck. Pre-orders for this Sixth Division deck had been climbing steadily, and Karin had been all smiles for the past few days. One could easily imagine how explosive the scene would be when it officially went on sale.
In the past few days, Blood Emperor had provided so information. Whether it was true or false, Wen Jiang loitered around the Underground Arena, pretending to investigate information about her "brother" while also paying attention to recent matches.
An interesting match erged.
Wen Jiang saw the B-Rank Card Set featuring the Demon Race Double Change Card that she had created. It wasn’t that this card set couldn’t be sold at Mount Flower; during the tis of turmoil, Mount Flower had sold a batch of B-Rank cards. Therefore, it wasn’t surprising that the Child Demon card had appeared in Ceylon City. Moreover, Child Demon had a vastly superior win rate among B-Rank cards.
This card set had once swept through competitions in the B-Level Group; hardly any card could match Child Demon, although, of course, much still depended on the Spirit Card Master’s own skill. When Wen Jiang initially created the B-Rank Card Set, she had just arrived and had only considered power when designing the cards. Their adaptability wasn’t as high as the chanical Angel Deck she created later when her skills had improved. After Sa Ang won against his opponent, the live broadcast of this match was widely publicized.
The Spirit Card Master who used the Child Demon card was only average in strength. Since Child Demon required overwhelming power for an instant kill, the chanical Angel card, being a counter-damage card, was its natural nesis. Its loss was hardly surprising.
Child Demon had a reputation in the B-Level Group. After it lost the match, the people in the Underground Arena were fervent. Spectators from Xi Zhou were excited yet disdainful, "This card from Yunxia, its power is diocre at best; it couldn’t even last a minute against Sa Ang!"
"Indeed, cards from Xi Zhou are superior! At least this designer from Xi Zhou nad Helena—the cards she designed simply demolished this card from Yunxia!"
Wen Jiang: ...
Zero Egg exclaid, "Tsk, let them fight, let them fight!"
Others had a gleam in their eyes. "The history of the B-Level Group should be rewritten! Faced with the power of chanical Angel, Yunxia’s card set is nothing special!"
Wen Jiang: It’s not that serious, really.
Of course, due to the publicity from this fight, pre-orders for the chanical Angel Deck soared in Xi Zhou, directly boosting Helena’s reputation.
In the current world, although S-Rank competitions were grand in scale, on actual battlefields, B-Rank and R-Rank cards still dominated in terms of sheer numbers. It wasn’t easy to release cards for the A-Rank Group and above, but competition among B-Rank cards was fierce. So won based on ’attractive’ features, while others relied on the actual combat power of their cards.
chanical Angel’s victory over Child Demon shot it to new stardom as a B-Rank card powerhouse. This was especially true since the five cards Wen Jiang released were for public sale, just like the publicly available Moon Palace Card Set she had created earlier. This deck was enough to change the landscape of B-Level Group competitions.
It had been a long ti since Wen Jiang had paid attention to B-Level Group competitions. On the first day the chanical Angel Deck officially went on sale, Hua Zhuo got the news very quickly and called directly to ask, "That Xi Zhou-style chanical Angel Deck, was it your creation?"
The answer wasn’t exactly a secret. Wen Jiang hadn’t hidden her use of the na Helena from Hua Zhuo before. So, she promptly admitted, "Yes."
Hua Zhuo gasped in admiration, her thoughts growing more complicated. "Your strength truly amazes ." She’s so dazzling, Hua Zhuo mused. For soone with my status as an A-Level Spirit Card Master, creating a B-Rank Card Set might not seem like a monuntal feat. But to craft one that can alter the entire competitive landscape... In this aspect, I’d dare to call Wen Jiang a genius. If she’s considered a genius, then few others could probably claim to possess such talent.
Then Hua Zhuo added, "It’s a pity for this deck to appear in Ceylon Cetery."
Wen Jiang, however, thought it was fine. To catch a fish, one must be willing to make sacrifices. "I’ve already t one of their leaders, Blood Emperor. His na is Di Jizhou. If you hadn’t called, I was planning to ask you to investigate him too."
Wen Jiang had only just learned Blood Emperor’s na. She was worried that investigating it with such fanfare now would alert Blood Emperor’s side, which was why she hadn’t notified Hua Zhuo yet.
"Di Jizhou?"
Unexpectedly, Hua Zhuo had heard this na before. "Is this Blood Emperor’s na?"
"Yes." Wen Jiang detected a subtle nuance in Hua Zhuo’s tone. "Have you heard this na sowhere before?"
"Possibly..." Hua Zhuo sounded uncertain. "You know, the incident with Yu Jian had a certain impact on . Not only do outsiders have a vague impression of , but my own mories of past events are also sowhat hazy." A Spirit Card Master’s mory is typically quite good, but Hua Zhuo, having been injured, was an exception. "I think I’ve heard the na Di Jizhou sowhere, a long ti ago." Hua Zhuo pondered for a mont. "It probably has nothing to do with the current Di Family."
"Oh?" Wen Jiang found this rather intriguing. So it’s not related to the Yan Family as I guessed. "Does anyone know Blood Emperor’s real na?"
Hua Zhuo replied, "I don’t know. We’ve been investigating them. Blood Emperor is one of the more mysterious leaders among the Fiends. Did he tell you this na himself?"
Wen Jiang replied, "Yes."
Hua Zhuo remarked, "That’s strange. We couldn’t even find this information, yet he told you his na during your first eting?"
"Yes..." Wen Jiang affird, and suddenly, a strange thought occurred to her.
If Di Jizhou was a na Blood Emperor had improvised on the spot, then with ch King present, there was no need for him to lie and invent a fake na. Unless that na held so special aning for him. If he suspected , it wouldn’t make sense for him to use a Yunxia na specifically.
Wen Jiang suddenly narrowed her eyes. Having been in this world for so ti, I’ve always enjoyed analyzing people, and Blood Emperor is no exception.
There’s sothing wrong here. Wen Jiang always trusted her intuition. Although I don’t know what Blood Emperor is thinking, I have a feeling... Blood Emperor is setting a trap for .
Wen Jiang suddenly said, "Hua Zhuo, act as if you haven’t heard anything, and as if you’ve never heard this na."
Although Hua Zhuo didn’t understand Wen Jiang’s reasoning, she knew Wen Jiang wouldn’t say such a thing without cause. She didn’t ask if she should investigate on her own and simply agreed, "Okay." She would act as if she hadn’t heard a thing.
After she hung up, Zero Egg asked, "Hua Zhuo seed to have so recollection of the na Blood Emperor. Why didn’t you let her continue investigating for you? Instead, you’re acting as if you don’t know."
Wen Jiang sneered. "I didn’t know before, but now I do. Would you inexplicably tell your real na to soone you’ve just t? If there’s an issue, I’ll just sound out ch King and find out. He said it in front of ch King at the ti. If ch King still rembers the na, then there’s no problem. But if he doesn’t rember... then wouldn’t this matter beco rather amusing?"
