Chapter 2528: Card Seeking

Chapter 2528: Card Seeking

Zhi Bing raised his hand, and his fingertips started to slowly disappear, followed by his hand, and then his entire arm. "Do you know where my finger is?"

Jiang Xiaodao squinted but could not see anything.

Naturally, the others were unable to see anything either.

Lu Yin pointed at Zhi Bing's head. "You're scratching your hair."

Everyone looked over.

Zhi Bing's arm slowly reappeared, revealing that his finger was indeed scratching his hair.

His arm disappeared again. "Now where is it?"

Lu Yin's eyes flickered. This time, the old man’s hand had been hidden even better. If not for Lu Yin’s void god domain, he would not be able to sense anything. However, since he was unable to use his domain, he could only gain a rough idea of where the hand was.

"It should be on that guy's head." Lu Yin pointed at Jiang Xiaodao.nOve(lb-In

Jiang Xiaodao was annoyed. That guy? "I'm Grandpa Dao!"

"Hahaha, not bad. Where now?" Zhi Bing said again.

Jiang Xiaodao’s mouth fell wide open, and he subconsciously reached up to touch his head while putting some distance between himself and Zhi Bing.

Lu Yin admitted, "I can't feel it anymore."

Zhi Bing's arm returned to normal as he stared at Lu Yin. "If you were able to feel it, it would no longer be a matter of your talent, but rather a problem with you."

Lu Yin did understand, though he replied, "I don't understand what you mean, Senior."

Zhi Bing waved the comment away. "It doesn't matter. I was entrusted by Xu Xiangyin to determine whether you are able to meet the requirements to cultivate my Lost Clan’s methods. I can see that you definitely have the necessary aptitude, so work hard, little one."

With that, the man disappeared.

Lu Yin bowed. "Goodbye, Senior."

The distant crowd was completely shocked. Xuan Qi had managed to pull Zhi Bing out, who was known for rarely revealing himself. Out of all of the Sixverse Academy’s students, Xuan Qi had spent the shortest amount of time finding cards, and his talent had opened the other students’ eyes. Also, they had learned that Zhi Bing had been entrusted with Xuan Wi’s care by Xu Xiangyin, which meant that one of the Sixverse Academy's overseers was constantly keeping a constant eye on the young man. How enviable.

It was guaranteed that Xuan Qi’s future achievements would be incredible.

Jiang Xiaodao approached Lu Yin and circled around him.

Lu Yin picked up his feet to walk away.

"Hey, kid, do you really think that you can just leave? Do you think that I've already forgotten how you disrespected me?" Jiang Xiaodao moved to block Lu Yin's path.

Lu Yin calmly asked, "What do you want?"

Jiang Xiaodao had originally intended to teach Xuan Qi a lesson, but after seeing Zhi Bing's attitude, there was a distinct possibility that the old man was still watching. Jiang Xiaodao’s mind went blank for a moment.

Lu Yin had no desire to waste any more time on the arrogant young man, so he proceeded to make his way away from the third Card Tap area. He was eager to move on to the next step in the Lost Clan School, which was to search for his own card.

All of the Lost Clan School’s true students were allowed to search for a card for themselves. After finding a personal card, they would then be able to set up the inside with their desired layout, which was the Lost Clan’s combat method.

After finding his card, Lu Yin wanted to visit Seruzen and ask the man about what he had experienced over the years and why he was in the Sixverse Academy. It was readily apparent that Seruzen did not have a low status, as Mu Mu was clearly very concerned about the man.

"Senior Jiang, he left," someone commented.

"Left? Xuan Qi, stop!" Jiang Xiaodao chased after Lu Yin.

Everyone who was left in the third Card Tap area silently looked at each other. They were still dumbstruck by all that had happened.

"Why not?" Jiang Xiaodao stared at Lu Yin. "Aren't you supposed to be a genius? Aren't you better than everyone else? So, let's compete."

Lu Yin was speechless, "I never said any of that."

"But you did it," Jiang Xiaodao stated in a cold voice, "Don't think that just being able to tap cards quickly means that you can find a good card. I need to compete with you, and if you lose, you have to become my follower."

"And what if I win?" Lu Yin retorted. Jiang Xiaodao was the heir to one of the Cyclic Universe’s Three Sovereigns and was someone highly important. He could help Lu Yin gain a much clearer understanding of the Cyclic Universe.

Jiang Xiaodao sneered. "If you win? Do you really think you can beat me?"

"Absolutely," Lu Yin said. It would be his first time seeking a card, but he could always win the contest by simply preventing Jiang Xiaodao from finding one. In that manner, Lu Yin would win with any card that he found.

Jiang Xiaodao gritted his teeth. "You're certainly confident... Fine. If you win, I'll avoid you from now on whenever I see you in the Sixverse Academy."

Lu Yin rolled his eyes. "How would you avoiding me be a prize?"

"Then what do you want?"

Lu Yin considered the question for a moment. "How about this? If you lose, you'll tell me about the Great Sovereign."

"The Great Sovereign?" Jiang Xiaodao's voice dropped low. That name held tremendous significance within the Cyclic Universe, as it represented the highest power that deserved the utmost reverence from inhabitants of the universe.

Lu Yin said, "In your Cyclic Universe, the Great Sovereign should be the strongest human. I'm very curious about such a powerhouse, and as Sage Jiang’s son, you should have some understanding of the Great Sovereign."

Jiang Xiaodao's gaze grew solemn. He continued in a low voice. "Of course. The Great Sovereign is the supreme figure whom all of us worship and admire. Alright, if I lose, I'll tell you everything that I know about the Great Sovereign."

Lu Yin smiled. "Deal. Let's begin."

"Wait." Jiang Xiaodao flicked his hair, a touch of disdain entering his voice. "We can't start just yet. This is an important contest."

He reached for his communication crystal and sent a message to someone. "Gather everyone from the Lost Clan School. I’ve challenged Xuan Qi to a card-seeking match."

Lu Yin looked puzzled. "You want everyone to watch?"

Jiang Xiaodao smirked. "What? Scared? Hmph! This competition will allow me to prove to everyone that I, Jiang Xiaodao, am not someone whom you, Xuan Qi, can compete with! I’ll tell you that it’s already too late for you to back out. Word’s spread, so if you try to back out, you’ll never be able to hold your head up high again. Even the Voidforce Universe will look down on you."

"It's not that serious, but don't worry. I have no intention of withdrawing," Lu Yin said.

Jiang Xiaodao's lips curled up. "Good to know."

It did not take long for news of the contest to spread to everyone in the Lost Clan School. Many students rushed over. Some came for the competition itself, while others wanted to observe the card search. In the end, almost the entire Lost Clan School was in attendance.

Mu Duo was also present. He cast a glance at “Xuan Qi,” who was standing next to Jiang Xiaodao off in the distance. Mu Duao shook his head in disapproval. Xuan Qi’s arrogance was practically palpable. Jiang Xiaodao had already proven that he could find a card, while this would be Xuan Qi’s first attempt at doing so. He was sure to lose.

Mu Xinxin and others also arrived, silently watching as they waited for the show to begin.

As more people gathered, Lu Yin came to understand just how many students there were in the Lost Clan School.

More than a thousand people from the Transcendent Universe had come to the Sixverse Academy as part of the second class, and people from other universes had been gradually arriving as well. This was why there were so many people in the Lost Clan School. Even so, compared to other schools, there were far less students. After all, it was difficult to even meet the minimum requirements of the Lost Clan Universe. Only four people from the first class had managed to do so.

"Little Lian? Little Lian, you're here too! Look over here!" Jiang Xiaodao suddenly grew excited and waved in a certain direction.

Many people in that direction immediately felt awkward, and the men all backed away.

Among the crowd was an adorable little girl whose rosy cheeks were simply begging to be pinched. She radiated a wholesome charm and seemed to be the quintessential image of the girl next door.

"Brother Xiaodao, if you keep doing that, I'm going to leave," the girl stated shyly as she blushed brightly.

Jiang Xiaodao quickly lowered his hand and showed the girl what he believed to be his kindest and most charming smile. "Little Lian, don't leave. Watch how Brother Xiaodao teaches this hooligan a lesson."

As he spoke, he pointed a finger at Lu Yin. "Do you see this hooligan? Brother Xiaodao is going to teach him a lesson."

Lu Yin wanted to punch the man.
