In the spectator seats.
Yan Beiming looked at the screen and saw his opponent in the semifinals. He was extremely excited.
Not only would he be guaranteed a place in the semifinals, but he also felt that he could advance to the semifinals if he tried his best.
The winners of Group C and D would enter the semifinals.
In other words, if he advanced to the semifinals, his opponent would either be Zhao Qianyu from the Divine Strategy House or Liu Xiuyan from the Thousand Island Lake.
Although the two of them were very strong, they were the first seeds of their respective regions.
But what was the difference between a noble and a general?
To put it bluntly, the difference between him and them was only in terms of realm and card deck.
In terms of realm, although he was currently a seven-star and the two of them were eight-star, it was still early for the semifinals. Maybe he would have broken through to the eight-star level by then?
If that was the case, then the difference between him and them in terms of realm would only be the difference between an eight-star early stage and an eight-star late stage, which would be negligible.
The other problem was the card set.
In this aspect, he also had an advantage.
After all, he had an advantage in terms of realm when fighting against Luo Feng. Therefore, he did not need to use his strongest card deck. He could advance smoothly without exposing his trump card.
As for Zhao Qianyu and Liu Xiuyan, they were evenly matched. Therefore, both of them would definitely use their trump cards and would not dare to hold back.
Then, in the semifinals, he would have a trump card and they would have no trump card. Therefore, there was a high chance that he would enter the finals!
What did it mean to enter the finals?
For him, even if he could not become the champion, just being the runner-up was enough to make him famous and admired by people!
After all, he was not an Origin Card Master from a super force. He was just a first-rate force in the Northern Desert.
For a small force like them, if he could achieve such a result, it would be a great surprise.
Although he could not become the champion, if he could become the runner-up, it would prove his talent. The other five forces would definitely extend an olive branch to him and crazily pile resources for him to become the Card Emperor …
At the same time, beautiful people like Ye Xiaojin and Liu Xiuyan would definitely favor him and throw flirtatious glances at him …
The pinnacle of life.
Therefore, in short, as long as he could enter the finals, he would have fame, status, beauty, and resources …
The more he thought about it, the more his eyes burned. Even his breathing became hurried. He couldn't help but immediately take action and cut down Luo Feng.
"Hehe, congratulations on drawing a good lot."
Just at this moment, a faint laughter resounded from behind him.
It was Qin Junyi.
The voice brought Yan Beiming back to his senses. He suddenly turned around and bowed respectfully. "Young master."
Qin Junyi nodded with a smile that was not a smile. "How about it? Are you confident about the semifinals?"
"Although I can't say 100% …" Yan Beiming's fighting spirit rose. "But at least 99%."
"That's right. It's good to be confident."
Qin Junyi stared at him. Suddenly, his face turned serious. "However, my father said that we can't treat Luo Feng with common sense. Otherwise, we will lose miserably."
"I hope that you can use your strongest trump card in the semifinals. Go all out and eliminate Luo Feng. Don't give him a chance."
"Ah, this …" Yan Beiming's face changed slightly. He was in a difficult position. He had wanted to save his trump card for the semifinals.
Qin Junyi stared at him. "I know you want to save your trump card for the semifinals. But if you can't even enter the semifinals, how can you talk about the semifinals?"
"Preparing your trump card is to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Of course, Luo Feng might be defeated before you can use your trump card."
"Also, I promise you …" He paused and continued, "If you can eliminate Luo Feng, the Nebula Army will guarantee that you can become a Card Emperor within five years!"
Boom!
As soon as he said this, it was like a sudden clap of thunder that exploded in Yan Beiming's mind.
Become a Card Emperor within five years?
Although he was already a Seven Star Card King and was the top talent of the younger generation, he didn't dare to say when he could become a Card Emperor.
Maybe 10 years.
Maybe 20 years.
Or maybe he would stop at Card King for the rest of his life.
But now, Qin Junyi had assured him that he would become a Card Emperor in less than five years.
He believed that with the Nebula Army's strength, they could achieve this.
Even if he stopped at the semifinals, as long as he could become a Card Emperor, he would be a giant anywhere in the Tianyuan Continent. Fame, status, beauty, and more …
It was worth it.
Yan Beimang took a deep breath and calmed himself down. "Don't worry, Young Master. I will not disappoint you!"
At the same time, Gu Hong looked around and said, "The opponents for the semifinals have been selected. The semifinals will be held this afternoon!"
"So soon?"
Hearing these words, Luo Feng was also stunned. His previous matches were basically held once every month.
And now, in this world tournament, the top eight had just finished in the morning, and the top four was already in the afternoon?
"Don't tell me the semifinals will be held tomorrow morning and the finals will be held in the afternoon?" Luo Feng wanted to cry. He was only a six-star, and it would be difficult for him to enter the semifinals.
If the semifinals or finals were held immediately, it would be over!
Qi Jin shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about that. The semifinals and finals will not be held immediately. There will be at least one or two months."
Luo Feng heaved a sigh of relief. That was good.
He looked at Ye Qingcang and said, "Senior Brother Ye, good luck this afternoon."
Ye Qingcang looked at him and said, "Don't worry. Qin Junyi is nothing to be afraid of.
"When the matches start in the afternoon, I will make him kneel on the ground and beg me not to die in three minutes."
Luo Feng was speechless.
As expected, the results of the draw caused a heated discussion in the entire continent.
"The Yan Dynasty is done for. If they could get into the civil war, they could at least enter the semifinals. But now, it seems that both of them will be eliminated in the semifinals."
"I can already see the results. It's hard to say who will be facing who in the semifinals, but it will be either Qin Junyi against Zhao Qianyu or Liu Xiuyan in the finals."
"I don't know why, but I have a strong feeling that Qin Junyi against Luo Feng in the finals will be just like the last tournament. No one thought that Xiao Xuan would win in the quarterfinals, but in the end …"
“？？？
Luo Feng has so many fake reviewers?
He just defeated a six-star Ye Tianyang. Is that enough for you to brag? "
"Indeed, if he still has a chance in the semifinals, he will definitely lose in the semifinals. Zhao Qianyu and Liu Xiuyan, which one of them can't beat him?"
The Star Card Masters of the Yan Dynasty were even more excited.
Group A and B were in the top half.
Group C and D were in the bottom half.
The two six-star Star Card Masters of the Yan Dynasty were in the top and bottom half respectively.
The good thing was that there was no possibility of a civil war.
The bad thing was that both of them were surrounded by a group of big shots.
If they wanted to enter the finals, it meant that both of them had to defeat all three of them.
Ye Qingcang wanted to defeat Qin Junyi, Ye Xiaojin, and Gu Fusheng.
Luo Feng wanted to defeat Yan Beiming, Zhao Qianyu, and Liu Xiuyan.
Both of them had to send away the first seed of their respective groups.
It was hell mode.
There were even some jokes that came out:
Ye Qingcang: What are you going to do?
Luo Feng: Defeat the first group and become the champion!
Ye Qingcang: What if you don't return?
Luo Feng: Then I won't return.
Ye Qingcang: I defeated Qin Junyi!
Luo Feng: I defeated Yan Beiming!
Ye Qingcang: See you in the finals!
Luo Feng: See you in the finals!
…
There was also another joke:
Young men, why are you going to Zhong Zhou? "
"I will destroy the new king's arrogance."
"I will bet on the old king's comeback."
"The journey is long and dangerous. If I don't return …"
"Then I won't return!"
"What if … I really can't return?"
"I will go and defeat him."
"If you also …"
"I will be your successor."
"If we are both lucky enough to pass, then the title of the number one Star Card Master in the Tianyuan Continent …"
"Then we will have to rely on our own abilities."
"Great."
…
It was true that Luo Feng and Ye Qingcang were able to defeat three opponents each and meet in the finals. This was the Flame Dynasty's dream.
Of course, what they hoped to see the most was that one of them could defeat the Star Card Master of the Nebula Army in the finals. That would be the greatest achievement.
After all, in the previous Tianyuan Star Card World Championship, Xiao Xuan of the Nebula Army defeated Yan Yun of the Yan Dynasty in the finals. This made the Yan Dynasty unable to raise their heads for the past five years.
"What do you think about this draw?" Qi Jin looked at Luo Feng and asked with a smile.
"Good draw, good draw."
Luo Feng was full of praises. Although Yan Beiming was also a strong opponent, he was really the best choice compared to the other top eight contestants.
"Yes, it is indeed a good draw." Ye Qingcang forced a smile on his face, as if he had just lost his parents.
Mu Nanzhi furrowed her eyebrows and said, "It is indeed a good draw. But then again, this kind of pressure will be transferred to Luo Feng."
Qi Jin nodded. Ye Qingcang was bound to lose this draw.
Thus, the one that everyone was looking forward to was naturally Luo Feng.
If Ye Qingcang lost, he would not be scolded. Even if he was scolded, it would be Qi Jin who would be scolded.
But if Luo Feng lost … then he would really be scolded until he was black and blue.
Luo Feng nodded. After all, this Yan Beiming was not from the five super forces. If he lost, then he would really embarrass the Yan Dynasty.
After a short rest, it was soon afternoon.
Under the gazes of many people, Gu Hong appeared on the stage. The highly anticipated top four competition was about to begin!
The order of the competition was A, B, C, and D.
Ye Qingcang walked slowly to the arena with a long face. Ten minutes later, the winner was decided.
There was no suspense at all. Almost from the start of the competition, Qin Junyi crushed all his opponents and ended the competition.
And because of the huge difference in their cultivation levels, Ye Qingcang did not manage to hit Qin Junyi much.
Then, Ye Xiaojin and Gu Fusheng from Group B appeared on the stage.
Compared to the first round, this round seemed to be evenly matched. The two of them fought with their wits and courage and used all their trump cards. In the end, Ye Xiaojin was one step ahead and won the competition.
"Next up, the two Star Card Masters from Group C will be on the stage."
Gu Hong looked around. His thunderous voice slowly resounded in the air above the arena.
"Yan Dynasty, Luo Feng."
"Beimang Mountain, Yan Beiming!"
Hence, under the gazes of many people, the two of them slowly walked into the arena.
At this moment, the Yan Dynasty Star Card Masters who were watching the competition were once again focused.
Compared to the others, Luo Feng's competition was more interesting.
Because of the huge difference in strength, the beginning of the competition was hellish. Every round could be said to be a battle of life and death.
Luo Feng's eyes flashed. He actually wanted to fight a 3v3.
That was because he just happened to have five Diamond Cards: One Punch Man, Kaihuang, Jiang Wei, Gray Wolf, and Jiang Ziya.
However, if it was a 5v5, these five people were actually not a match. Their combined strength was not strong.
If it was a 1v1, Jiang Ziya had already used that move. It was impossible for Yan Beiming to fall where Ye Tianyang had fallen.
Hence, a 3v3 was actually the best choice.
Of course, if he suggested a 3v3, it would depend on whether Yan Beiming agreed or not.
If he did not agree, then he would have to throw Star Coins. The result of the Star Coins landing on the ground would determine whether it would be a 3v3 or not.
Just as he was about to speak, Yan Beiming suddenly said, "How about a 3v3 this time?"
The reason why he wanted to choose a 3v3 was because he wanted to keep some trump cards. Qin Junyi wanted him to use his trump cards.
If it was a 5v5, then he would have to use his five strongest trump cards.
However, if it was a 3v3, then he would only need to use his three strongest trump cards.
This way, it would be killing two birds with one stone. It would be the best of both worlds.
Although he could keep more trump cards if it was a 1v1, a 1v1 was not very stable. He could not guarantee that he would be able to take down Luo Feng.
At the very least, he did not know how to deal with Jiang Ziya's Violent Ape Transformation Card.
Next, it would depend on whether Luo Feng would agree or not.
Hearing that, Luo Feng was taken aback. A playful look flashed in his eyes. Good guy. Just as he was about to doze off, he gave him a pillow.
"As you wish."
Luo Feng smiled. His expression seemed to be telling Yan Beiming that no matter what he chose, he would fight with him.
"Hehe, you're very confident."
Yan Beiming sneered. "Since you're so confident, why don't we skip the card selection stage?"
Luo Feng looked at the referee, Gu Hong. "Can we skip it?"
Gu Hong pondered for a moment. "According to the rules, this kind of competition is required. However, if both sides have no objections and come to an agreement, then we can skip it."
Luo Feng nodded. "Then let's skip it."
To be honest, he did not like this stage.
Every time he chose a Star Card, it was very unfriendly to him.
Whoosh!
When they saw this scene, cries of surprise rose and fell outside the arena. Skipping the Star Card selection stage, is he going to directly choose blindly?
How … exciting!
"After three seconds, we'll enter the card selection stage," Gu Hong said.
After three seconds, a light flashed in front of them. Three Star Card appeared.
Luo Feng's Star Card: Kaihuang, Jiang Ziya, One Punch Man.
He looked at Yan Beiming and saw three Star Card lined up in front of him.
The first one was a birdman with an umbrella in his hand. His name was Ubutori.
The second one was a monster with a dog's head and a human's body. There was a pair of snow-white wings on his back. His name was Daitengu.
The last one was a warrior who wore battle armor and had a helmet on his head. He held a battle axe and a shield, and he was known as the Viking Warrior.
There was a pair of horns on the armor on his head.
At the same time, Gu Hong said, "Let the competition begin!"
Yan Beiming's eyes flickered. He glanced at Luo Feng's Star Card one by one.
Kaihuang and One Punch Man looked like warriors. Such boorish people were not scary. After all, most of their skills were offensive skills.
As for Jiang Ziya's Star Card, he looked like a scheming b * tch. This was proven in the previous quarter-finals.
Therefore, he had to kill him first.
Hence, the Viking Warrior with the shadow battle axe locked his eyes on Jiang Ziya.
The Viking Warrior rubbed the shadow battle axe in his hand and said, "Old man, are you ready to die?"
Jiang Ziya laughed and said, "In the past, Violent Ape killed you. Now, the grass on your grave is green."
The audience was speechless.
Ye Tianyang's mouth twitched. Although his Violent Ape was not dead, some Star Card was still alive.
"I'm not that trash." The Viking Warrior's battle intent rose and he said, "You're just a six-star. Let's see if you're selling your head!"
Whoosh!
As soon as he said that, the Viking Warrior charged at Jiang Ziya with the shadow battle axe in his hand.
Jiang Ziya was unperturbed. His eyes flickered and he activated [Bait the Willing]!
[Bait the Willing]: Jiang Ziya uses a normal skill of any Star Card in his party's Star Card pool. When the skill is used, the enemy's Star Card can choose to doubt it. If the enemy does not doubt that this is a skill that Jiang Ziya possesses, then Jiang Ziya can safely use this skill.
If the enemy's Star Card guesses correctly, then Jiang Ziya will deduct 20% of his HP and Star Energy. If the enemy's Star Card guesses incorrectly, then the enemy's Star Card will deduct 20% of his HP and Star Energy.
Jiang Ziya changed [Bait the Willing] to the skill [Yang Jian].
At the same time, the Viking Warrior was stunned. An emotionless system voice echoed in his mind.
"Jiang Ziya is about to use [Yang Jian]. Do you doubt that this skill belongs to him?"
"?" The Viking Warrior was stunned. What's going on?
This was the first time he had encountered such a skill mechanism.
Isn't this your skill?
Why do I have to doubt it?
Furthermore, during the quarter-finals, during the card selection stage, Luo Feng's Jiang Ziya revealed a skill that was [Yang Jian]!
So, if this is your own skill, then why do I have to doubt it?
"Of course I don't doubt it." The Viking Warrior shook his head. Just as he was about to deny it, he suddenly calmed down.
Why does it feel like there's a trap?
Logically speaking, from the surface, he wouldn't doubt it even if he was a fool.
But since he wasn't doubting it, why did Jiang Ziya have to ask such an unnecessary question?
"There's a problem."
The Viking Warrior was alarmed. It was because no one would doubt it that it could be a trap.
With that thought, the Viking Warrior said, "I doubt it!"
He wanted to do the opposite and see what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd!
Bang!
The moment he said that, the Viking Warrior's expression changed. He groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood.
At the same time, the audience was shocked to see that the Viking Warrior's HP and Star Energy had decreased by 15%!
Yan Beiming, "?"
Audience, "???"
What's going on?
The two of them hadn't even touched each other yet, and he had already lost 20% of his HP?
More importantly, how did he lose it?
"I've been tricked by Jiang Ziya."
Yan Beiming's heart sank as he stared at Jiang Ziya. He had long felt that this Star Card was a scheming b * tch. Now that he saw it, it was indeed true.
"You've angered me!"
Seeing that he had been tricked at the start of the match, the Viking Warrior was enraged. He held his shadow axe and charged toward Jiang Ziya.
However, at this moment, the void trembled slightly. Then, a figure walked out of the void and arrived in front of Jiang Ziya!
That figure was covered in a blood-red glow. His silver eyes were tightly shut, and he didn't show any emotions.
His black cloak fluttered even though there was no wind.
He was holding a three-pointed, double-edged halberd that was dragged on the ground. As the halberd's blade rubbed against the ground, lightning flickered.
The most eye-catching thing was that other than his eyes, there was another eye between his eyebrows. It looked demonic and mysterious.
Boom!
Following his appearance, a terrifying oppressive feeling swept over like a storm.
This person was Erlang Fungus, Yang Jian!
