Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 521: Chapter 438: Ascending Yu Heng Chapter 521: Chapter 438: Ascending Yu Heng “The challenge… succeeded?!”

As Xu Fan announced the result, the crowd around them only then snapped back from the extremely intense battle.

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, it was truly hard to imagine that Chen Chunhua’s scrawny body concealed such a violent thunderous power.

They also didn’t expect that after many shifts in the situation, Wu Qi would really seize the opportunity to explode and push Chen Chunhua into a desperate position!

“Wu Qi’s bone power is too violent!”

“In the past ten years, this should be the only Star Lord who defeated an upper-ranking Star Lord, right?”

“What a pity for Star Lord Chen. He was clearly very strong too…”

Everyone was in awe of Wu Qi and felt a pity for Chen Chunhua.

According to the rules, once a Star Lord is challenged and ranks down, they cannot challenge back within the current cycle.

Even with his distinguished battle merits, he couldn’t be considered a First Level Special Envoy. He was a relatively unique existence.

At this moment, since Xu Fan had already announced the result, Wu Qi glanced at Zhang Qianyi one more time before withdrawing his silver bones and the surrounding Thorny Sea.

As Chen Chunhua regained his freedom, he also unlocked his Thunder God Body, though his face was slightly pale.

“Star Lord Chen, are you alright?” Xu Fan asked.

“It’s nothing serious.” Chen Chunhua answered in a deep voice, then looked at Wu Qi again. “In this battle, I lost.”

After speaking, a flash of purple electric light on Chen Chunhua’s body shot up, and he flew straight towards the exit. In no time, his entire aura completely vanished from this space.

Xu Fan sighed silently, but Zhang Qianyi, seeing this, did not say much.

Xu Fan and Chen Chunhua were promoted to the same rank, and they had worked together on multiple occasions.

He did not expect that today, with two vacant Star Lord seats, Chen Chunhua would still be squeezed out!

Zhang Qianyi was different. Although he had intercepted Wu Qi, it was because the result was already decided.

Zhang Qianyi was actually happy to see more Star Lords with both strength and potential.

Previously, he deeply regretted the sudden demise of Duanmu Lu, the youngest and most talented among many Star Lords.

Now, three relatively young replacements had been added at once!

Xu Fan spoke loudly, “The selection of Star Lords ends officially now. Special Envoy Su, Special Envoy Xia, and Special Envoy Wu, please stay. The rest may leave.”

“It’s over already…”

At that moment, many Special Envoys still hadn’t calmed down from the excitement.

The series of fierce battles, and Wu Qi’s final successful challenge against Chen Chunhua, had opened the eyes of the Second and Third Level Special Envoys around them.

While marveling at the strength of the First Level Special Envoys and even the Star Lords, a renewed longing and admiration for power was ignited in their hearts!

Before leaving, Baili Ge gave Su Yuan a meaningful glance.

Fu Dongliu, Song Xingyun, and others also slightly bowed to Su Yuan.

After everyone left, only a few were left including Su Yuan.

“Please wait a moment.”

Xu Fan said, then took out a talisman and activated it with Star Power.

The talisman emitted a brilliant light, followed by several marks shooting towards the surrounding jade pillars.

Instantly, numerous jade pillars lit up with large silver runes, each acting as an array eye and forming a large array circulating with spirit light.

“A Grandmaster-level Formation?” Su Yuan’s expression moved slightly.

As the array unfolded, sheets of spirit light illuminated all around.

Wherever it passed, rubble reorganized, and broken trees revived. The island, which had been ravaged by fierce battles earlier, was quickly regenerated.

In just a dozen minutes, the messy scene had returned to its original state.

“A truly mysterious formation,” Su Yuan praised.

Xu Fan put away the talisman and said, “This is the Returning Dust Heavenly Array set up by the Barrier Masters of the Miracle Workshop. I see Special Envoy Su seems skilled in array barriers. Perhaps one day you could also set this up.”

Su Yuan shook his head and smiled. “I’m just at the Fifth Level, still far from a Grandmaster.”

Between the Fifth and Sixth Levels lies the gap between Master and Grandmaster.

Experience alone is doubled, reaching 200w.

The knowledge required was enormous and it was unknown how much time it would take.

But the four others present, upon hearing this, all had their pupils contract slightly.

“Fifth Level!”

Although they had vaguely guessed, given the power of the Thunder Array Domain, it still shocked them to hear Su Yuan say it himself, especially Xia Xuan who knew Su Yuan’s background!

How did he manage that?!

Xu Fan took out his Sky Patrol Black Card, checked it, and said, “Perfect timing, both White Tiger and Vermilion Bird Lords are in the hall. Let’s go for the conferment ceremony.”

Fang Yu…

Su Yuan’s mind stirred, remembering the gentle and handsome young man with black hair, Fang Qingxiao of the Vermilion Bird Throne!

When they met last time on the South Sea Islands, he was not even at the Gold Level, and Fang Qingxiao gave him the [All-Knowing Vision].

Throughout his journey, [All-Knowing Vision] had been his most practical Epic Skill, and the most important one!

Now, in a blink, he was about to meet again, and this time for his Star Lord conferment…

Xia Xuan and Wu Qi, who had never met a Star Lord, could barely conceal their curiosity and anticipation.

“Let’s go!”

Xu Fan called out and led them out of the small Secret Realm…

In the depths of the Sky Patrol Department, in a certain hall of the core Four Symbols Palace.

A stern-faced man and another gentle young man with a smile at the corner of his mouth sat in the hall.

On the table beside them were three Star Robes.

On each Star Robe lay a token marked “Yu Heng,” “Tianxuan,” and “Tianshu.”

“I didn’t expect I’d come today,” the gentle young man smiled.

“It’s not just coming here; this time your Vermilion Bird Imperial boasts two newly promoted Star Lords. Congratulations.” the stern man said coldly.

This stern man was the current White Tiger Throne, Yu Wenwuji!

The gentle young man was none other than Su Yuan’s old acquaintance, Fang Qingxiao of the Vermilion Bird Throne.

Fang Qingxiao smiled, “Congratulations to you too, Brother Yu Wen. There’s a new Star Lord in your White Tiger Imperial as well.”

Yu Wenwuji replied casually, “One gained and one lost—what’s to celebrate?”

Both Wu Qi and Chen Chunhua belonged to the White Tiger Imperial.

Fang Qingxiao said, “The renewal of the old with the new is still a cause for celebration, isn’t it?”

Yu Wenwuji’s fingers lightly tapped the armrest, and he said no more.

Just then, Su Yuan and the others walked in one after another.

As for Zhang Qianyi, he had already left as his role was done here.

“Greetings, Lords.” The three greeted respectfully.

These two were genuine King Level experts, the very top.

Even disregarding their status, the three sincerely respected them for their strength.

“Hmm,” Yu Wenwuji responded expressionlessly.

Fang Qingxiao smiled, “Congratulations to you three on your promotion to Star Lord of the Sky Patrol Department.”

When his gaze fell on Su Yuan, Fang Qingxiao couldn’t help but smile.

Su Yuan and the others bowed again.

Yu Wenwuji stood up and approached Wu Qi.

Xu Fan then picked up a token and a Star Robe from the table and followed him.

“Since you defeated Chen Chunhua, from today onward, you are the trusted Tianshu Star Lord of the Sky Patrol Department.” Yu Wenwuji handed the ‘Tianshu’ token to Wu Qi. “I hope you can take on this duty and serve the Great Flame.”

Wu Qi took the Tianshu Order, looking at Yu Wenwuji before him, his eyes filled with reverence and excitement.

“Yes, Lord!”

Yu Wenwuji said, “Put it on.”

Wu Qi responded and then donned the white Star Lord Robe over his attire.

Typically, the ceremonial attire of Special Envoys was black, but the Star Lord’s robe was white, adorned with seven stars.

Equipped with cleansing, repair effects; its defensive ability rivaled the Super Blue Star Device, specially crafted by Artifact Refiners of the Miracle Workshop, each Star Lord receiving just one upon appointment!

If lost or damaged, it had to be reapplied at the Miracle Workshop.

After a glance, Yu Wenwuji returned to his seat.

Fang Qingxiao then got up and walked over.

“Lord Fang,” Su Yuan greeted.

“Su Yuan, well done…” Fang Qingxiao smiled, “I didn’t expect you’d get here so quickly. I thought it would take at least two more years.”

Su Yuan respectfully said, “Thanks to the card you gave me, Lord.”

Xu Fan, Xia Xuan, and Wu Qi were a bit surprised. So, Su Yuan knew Fang Qingxiao?

“Just a Purple Card, nothing much. Your talent mattered more.” Fang Qingxiao slightly shook his head, then suddenly remembered something, “Oh, how’s that little one doing recently?”

Su Yuan’s expression shifted, knowing he was asking about Ruan Ruan. He replied, “She’s fine…”

“Puchi!”

Ruan Ruan popped out from the Qingming Realm, landing on Su Yuan’s shoulder, wide-eyed at Fang Qingxiao.

Ruan Ruan hadn’t forgotten that this was the man who suggested the contract, tricking her into the master’s hands when she was yet naive!

Hmm… although she was now happy with her master.

“Oh? She looks quite spirited…” Fang Qingxiao smiled, instinctively wanting to pinch the soft little slime.

But Ruan Ruan shrank back, eyes wary. “Puchi!”

Su Yuan said, “Ruan Ruan, this is Lord Fang!”

“Puchi! Puchi puchi! (No! Only the master can touch Ruan Ruan)”

“Haha, that’s amusing.” Fang Qingxiao laughed, not minding it.

Xia Xuan and the others looked curiously at the slime on Su Yuan’s shoulder.

Just a slime, yet it earned a Lord’s special attention?

Surely, it couldn’t be an ordinary slime.

As a Beast Tamer, Xu Fan’s pupils contracted slightly, already sensing the extraordinary and amazing potential of Ruan Ruan.

Fang Qingxiao collected his demeanor and said to Su Yuan, “From today, you will take the seat of Yu Heng. I hope you protect the Great Flame… additionally, carry on Duanmu Lu’s legacy!”

With this, Fang Qingxiao’s tone gained a hint of coldness.

Su Yuan knew it was because Duanmu Lu had been ambushed and killed by Taurus and Leo together.

As for carrying on Duanmu Lu’s legacy… it was an unspoken pledge: to eradicate the Star Envoys!

“Rest assured, Lord, I will do my utmost.” Su Yuan took the Yu Heng Order, responding earnestly.

“Good!”

Fang Qingxiao acknowledged, then accepted the ‘Yu Heng’ token and Star Lord’s White Robe from Xu Fan.

Su Yuan immediately stored the token and donned the loose, wide-sleeved white robe.

Instantly, he felt a connection growing closer with the Great Flame.

Fang Qingxiao nodded in approval. He then proceeded to confer the Tianxuan Star Lord position to Xia Xuan.

“Your situation now is similar to the Holy Temple Star Envoy of Qiguang.” Fang Qingxiao looked at Xia Xuan, then addressed everyone, “You know the difference between the Holy Temple Star Envoy and Subordinates compared to our Sky Patrol Department’s Star Lords, don’t you?”
