Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 323: Chapter 263 Two Big News Items Chapter 323: Chapter 263 Two Big News Items Time passed in tranquil cultivation.

In a blink, half a month had passed.

Su Yuan hardly had the luxury to cultivate so peacefully for such a period, his cultivation at the Gold Level steadily progressing.

This morning, after Su Yuan got up, he picked up his phone to check the news.

But today, there seemed to be two rather explosive pieces of news!

“Qiguang Country’s genius and the Fish Jumping Dragon Gate Conference?”

Su Yuan looked at the two trending posts on the national academy exchange forum.

The first post stated that Qiguang Country had surprisingly sent an academy delegation here for an exchange!

It was said that they had officially received the consent of Great Flame, and the delegation from Qiguang Academy was already on its way.

“Teacher just mentioned that Qiguang has been restless lately, I didn’t expect them to make a move this quickly,” Su Yuan thought to himself.

This time, suddenly sending students over for a friendly exchange, labeled as promoting educational development between the two countries, was likely also for a show of force and gathering intelligence.

Great Flame and Qiguang, located at the north and south poles of the East Continent, rarely had contact.

They weren’t enemies but neither could they be considered allies.

But as the only two major countries on the continent, they definitely kept a close eye on each other.

However, this should have little to do with him.

When the exchange competition came, naturally, the experts from various academies would deal with it, especially Capitol City College, which had just won the national championship last term.

Nevertheless, for the students of Great Flame’s academies, this news was undoubtedly sensational.

Early in the morning, the post had only been published for a short while, yet there were already thousands of comments below it:

“Qiguang students, huh?

I wonder how they’re different from us?”

“Visually, they’re very different.

I heard most of them are blonde with blue eyes.

As for strength, who knows?”

“If Qiguang’s geniuses dare to come to Great Flame, they must be made to bow down!”

…

Su Yuan browsed through, and most students had two thoughts.

One was curiosity about the student delegation from the northern empire, Qiguang.

The other was a united front, determined to show these Qiguang students the might of Great Flame since they dared to come.

“Qiguang’s student delegation.

If there’s a chance, I’d like to see it for myself.”

Once in the Snow Burial Plain Secret Realm, Sino used a rather profound magic called Holy Manifestation Technique, showing that Qiguang indeed had something.

And since this time it was a student delegation sent to Great Flame, it definitely wasn’t simple.

Presumably, it was the cream of the crop.

So Su Yuan was very interested.

But such matters probably had little to do with him.

Naturally, senior students would handle it, especially Capitol City College, which had just won the national championship last term.

Su Yuan shook his head and then browsed the second post—”Fish Jumping Dragon Gate Conference.”

After reading the entire post, Su Yuan couldn’t help but smile: “Congratulations to Qin Lianyun, having a King Level father in the future, definitely a top-tier second generation Star!”

The content of the post stated that in the northern Black Wind Domain, Dragon Gate City Lord Qin Xiangyang had made further progress, surpassing Burning Sun to become the new king!

Thus, he widely invited the world’s experts and young talents to Dragon Gate for the celebration “Fish Jumping Dragon Gate Conference.”

From Burning Sun to King Level, it was like a leap to the sky!

Having a King Level force versus not having one was a completely different concept!

This breakthrough by Qin Xiangyang would completely change the power dynamics of the Black Wind Domain and the entire northern region of Great Flame.

Therefore, the significance of this conference was substantial.

Besides celebrating Qin Xiangyang’s ascent to King Level, it would likely be used to redefine the future layout of the Black Wind Domain.

Additionally, the Dragon Gate’s power would inevitably expand further.

Seizing this opportunity to recruit experts and further enhance the Dragon Gate’s strength and reputation was essential.

Because there hadn’t been a new king for many years, and given the Dragon Gate’s good reputation among various forces.

This time’s conference would attract not just the powers within the Black Wind Domain and its surroundings like Black Snow Country, but even countries as far as Great Flame and Yanluo would send envoys and gifts.

Of course, national affairs had little to do with ordinary people.

But the rewards of the Fish Jumping Dragon Gate Conference concerned everyone.

It was said that to ensure the success of this Fish Jumping Dragon Gate Conference, Dragon Gate had taken out a lot of good things!

Star Cards, Star Devices, elixirs, cultivation resources… various treasures were abundant.

“Perhaps this is an opportunity to find suitable Star Cards…”

Su Yuan’s eyes showed contemplation.

Now at the Gold Level, he still had four ordinary skill slots besides his Soul Skill and Flame Sky Fire Control Technique.

This Fish Jumping Dragon Gate Conference was indeed an opportunity.

Moreover, from the revelations, it seemed that this Fish Jumping Dragon Gate Conference would even have Condensed Liquid Pills!

After reaching the Shining Star Level, the Star Power Vortex would transform into a Star Power Cloud Sea, an immense leap in strength.

But to accomplish this transformation required enormous Star Power accumulation.

If failed, not only would everything accumulated be wasted, but a large portion would be lost, requiring a lot of time to accumulate Star Power again.

During such a critical breakthrough, if something could give an extra boost, it might help one step into Shining Star Level and rise further!

And the Condensed Liquid Pill could have such an effect.

As cultivation progressed, elixirs that could efficiently utilize the value of various Spirit Plants and Star Beast materials became increasingly important.

“So, this Fish Jumping Dragon Gate Conference is definitely worth a visit,” Su Yuan decided.

However, since the conference was still being intensively prepared and would take another one or two months, there was no rush.

While Su Yuan was contemplating, a message suddenly popped up in the class group chat.

Xia Yue: “Have you seen the news about Qiguang students coming?”

Zhang Tai: “I’m reading it right now!

Qiguang students coming to Great Flame for an exchange?

This has never happened before!

I wonder what Qiguang’s Star Card Masters are like.”

Du Tao: “Probably not too different.

Besides, even if they come, they’ll most likely go to the Capitol, right?”

Xia Yue: “Teacher Xiao He just said, no matter where Qiguang goes, he’ll try to involve us at critical moments.”

“Critical moments,” naturally referred to the time of the duel.

Exchange, for Star Card Masters, was basically equivalent to a duel!

Everyone: “Really?”

Xia Yue: “After all, it’s a top-level duel in the academy, and it’s Qiguang’s students.

If we could watch, it would be very beneficial for us.”

Lu Yingying: “Teacher Xiao He is yyds!”

Zhang Tai: “Nice!

It’s just a pity they came slightly at the wrong time.

If they came in a year or two, we might have reached the Gold Level and had a chance to participate.”

Xiang Dingqian: “We can’t participate, but Su Yuan can.”

Everyone: “…”

Shang Baiyu: “I heard from the teacher that Su Yuan left again after returning from South Sea.

Now, who knows where he is?”

Su Yuan: “Hm?

I’m in the dormitory.”

Everyone: “???”

…

“Knock, knock, knock!”

The door of Room No.

4 was knocked.

Su Yuan shook his head, smiled, got up, and opened the door.

Standing outside were Xia Yue, Shang Baiyu, and Xiang Dingqian.

Everyone’s dorms were close, and the three were conveniently in the academy.

“You actually came back?” Seeing Su Yuan, the three were quite surprised.

Xia Yue asked, “How long have you been back?”

“Almost a month now.” Su Yuan smiled, “Come in and sit.”

Su Yuan invited the three in, making tea for each of them.

“You’re really at the Gold Level?” Xiang Dingqian asked seriously.

Xia Yue and Shang Baiyu also looked over.

Su Yuan nodded: “Yes.”

After all, the Gold Middle Stage was also a Gold Level.

Though they had already heard of it, hearing Su Yuan confirm it himself at this moment, Xia Yue and the other two couldn’t help but feel a bit amazed.

Shang Baiyu sighed, “How do you cultivate so fast…”

After all, it was too outrageous.

This speed was almost the best in the three academies!

In reality, if the three knew Su Yuan had not just reached the Gold Level but had already achieved the Gold Middle Stage, they wouldn’t know what expression to make…

Su Yuan smiled, “It was a series of fortunate coincidences that allowed such rapid progress.”

Whether it was the events at Sea City Ruins in Yunze Island’s Secret Realm, or subduing the Divine Fire, they were indeed unique opportunities.

If he had cultivated step by step, Su Yuan might not have broken through to the Gold Level by the end of his sophomore year.

Shang Baiyu shook his head, “It still depends on your capability to encounter and seize these opportunities.”

Xia Yue and Xiang Dingqian nodded in agreement.

Without enough strength, one wouldn’t even reach the threshold to encounter such opportunities, let alone seize them.

Like the journey to the South Sea, if Su Yuan had not broken through to the Silver High Stage, Yang Yifeng might not have considered inviting him to join the senior students in hunting Sea Beasts there, and authorized his participation.

Su Yuan observed the three in front of him.

All of them had already broken through to the Silver Middle Stage, and their realms were consolidated, steadily moving towards the Silver High Stage.

It seemed that not only was he progressing, but everyone had their opportunities and was growing rapidly.

Su Yuan asked, “Xia Yue, you just mentioned that Teacher Xiao He would take us to see the Qiguang student delegation?”

“Yes.

I’ve seen the talents of Yanluo Country.

I didn’t expect to have a chance to see Qiguang’s talented students this time.”

“When did you go to Yanluo Country?” Shang Baiyu asked, slightly surprised.

Xia Yue replied, “I went west for training not long ago.

I didn’t enter Yanluo Country, but I ran into some of Yanluo’s talents outside.”

“I see…”

Shang Baiyu and Xiang Dingqian had never left Great Flame, and found it quite novel.

The Gold Level was fine, but for Bronze and Silver Stages, traveling abroad was quite risky.

After all, one could grow rapidly within the country, so there was usually no need to take that risk.

Especially for Shang Baiyu, who still mainly learned combat skills, with most being healing and support, it was even less likely for him to travel abroad recklessly.

Xiang Dingqian asked Su Yuan, “Su Yuan, are you going to see Qiguang’s student delegation this time?”

Su Yuan, always independent and unpredictable in his movements, made Xiang Dingqian and others wonder if he had other plans.

Su Yuan nodded: “Yes, I won’t miss the clash of geniuses between Great Flame and Qiguang’s academies.”

“Great!” Xiang Dingqian nodded.

…

After chatting for a while longer, Shang Baiyu suggested, “It’s rare to see Su Yuan back.

How about we go out for a meal together today?”

Xiang Dingqian’s eyes lit up, and Xia Yue was also quite happy.

Everyone looked at Su Yuan.

Su Yuan, of course, wouldn’t disappoint, and immediately smiled, “Sure, let’s consider it a way to relax.”

With a brief discussion, the four set off.

However, none of them expected that what they thought was a distant matter of Qiguang students exchanging would soon make Demon Capital Academy the center of the entire event…
