Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 359: Chapter 280 Dragon Gate Heavenly Ladder_2

…

Su Yuan sat down and opened the documents to examine them.

The information about the Dragon Gate Tournament was collected by the Star Card Master Association through various channels.

Some of it was public, while some was more private.

“The Dragon Gate Heavenly Ladder…” Su Yuan’s eyes showed contemplation.

As the Fish Jumping Dragon Gate Conference approached, there were more and more rumors about Qin Xiangyang, Dragon Sect, and the Dragon Gate Tournament, and this information had been summarized and organized.

The biggest news revealed so far was the “Dragon Gate Heavenly Ladder.”

For this tournament, Dragon Sect brought out treasures such as Condensed Liquid Pill, precious Star Card Star Devices, and many other treasures to create a buzz and attract more young talents.

Not only that, Dragon Sect even claimed that everyone who came to the tournament would benefit!

At first, people were skeptical, but until two days ago when the “Dragon Gate Heavenly Ladder” was set up in Dragon Gate City and some people were invited to experience it. The miraculous power made everyone realize that Dragon Sect was not exaggerating!

“It is said that every carp has a chance to leap over the Dragon Gate, and if successful, it would transmute into a True Dragon.”

The Dragon Gate Heavenly Ladder took this meaning and indeed had such a miraculous power.

There were a total of 999 steps in the Dragon Gate Heavenly Ladder. Each step one took allowed them to transcend themselves from a moment ago.

A few days ago, a Gold Star Card Master took 666 steps at once, directly breaking through from Gold Middle Stage to Gold High Stage because of it!

According to Dragon Sect’s public statement, everyone who went to the tournament would get a free climb on the Dragon Gate Heavenly Ladder once!

“Qin Lianyun’s father is truly remarkable…” Su Yuan marveled silently.

Even without considering the existence of such a miraculous thing as the Dragon Gate Heavenly Ladder, having it alone was an incredible and valuable thing that could significantly enhance the strength of a faction at the grassroots level!

Even the Demon City Holy Spring could only be used once a year.

It was easy to imagine that the Dragon Gate Heavenly Ladder also required consumption.

Yet, Dragon Sect was open enough to allow everyone to use it, which could be said to be incredibly generous and benevolent.

With this, the number of people going to the Dragon Gate Tournament would likely be quite large.

Su Yuan carefully looked at the documents. According to the Star Card Master Association’s channels, the Dragon Gate Heavenly Ladder seemed to be crafted by the power of the laws left behind after Qin Xiangyang advanced to King Level.

“With such a miraculous ability, I wonder what kind of power it exactly is.” Su Yuan was deeply curious.

However, the Star Card Master Association had not made any speculation about this, either because they were unsure or because the price of 12 li wasn’t enough for this information…

As Su Yuan pondered, there was a murmur of conversation nearby.

“Leveraging this Fish Jumping Dragon Gate Conference, Dragon Sect is going to make a big splash. It is said that experts from Qiguang in the north have traveled a long way to send their congratulations!”

Su Yuan glanced slightly towards the nearby source. It was a group of Star Card Masters, one of whom was a yellow-faced chubby man who had been chatting before. At this moment, they seemed to be talking about the Fish Jumping Dragon Gate Conference.

“If you say even Qiguang has sent someone over, is that true?” A tall man exclaimed in surprise.

Pleased with his well-informed sources, the yellow-faced chubby man chuckled. “How can it be fake? Xu Mazi brought back the news from Black Wind Domain a few days ago, saying that Dragon Sect had already sent people to welcome the strong ones from Qiguang!”

The tall man clicked his tongue. “Wow, Dragon Sect is really impressive. Even Qiguang, located at the North Pole, went out of their way to send people over! And since Qiguang sent people over, the countries in the north would probably also make some gestures too!”

Another middle-aged man with a thin face frowned slightly and pondered, “They gave Dragon Sect enough respect, but I think Qiguang has been active in the south more than usual recently. Before, the north and the south had no conflicts, but recently many northerners have been coming over. Right after the exchange visit of the Qiguang students, Qiguang again congratulated the Dragon Gate City Lord. I’m afraid there is some plan…”

The yellow-faced chubby man said indifferently, “Even if Qiguang has any plans, it’s up to the higher-ups to worry, not us Gold Levels. What we should worry about now is how to get enough benefits from this tournament. I still have a Skill Slot left. There are many good things in this Dragon Sect’s release. If I can get a T2 Blue Card, I’ll be very satisfied!”

The tall man shook his head. “That’s not so easy. It’s said there would be at least hundreds of Gold Level participants. Even if Dragon Sect generously hands out hundreds of Blue Cards, the chance of getting one is still small. Getting a T2 Blue Card is even harder!”

“That’s true because of the Dragon Gate Heavenly Ladder. There surely won’t be a shortage of people attending the tournament. Adding the Bronze and Silver ones, it would be thousands of people!”

The tall man said, “And Qin Xiangyang, the city lord is really amazing to create something as incredible as the Dragon Gate Heavenly Ladder.”

…

“Sir… here is Beiyue Tea from our North Pole City.” While Su Yuan was quietly listening, the receptionist girl from earlier suddenly brought a pot of tea over. There was a bit of shyness and nervousness in her eyes.

“Oh, thank you.” Su Yuan thanked her after receiving it.

Su Yuan seldom went to the Star Card Master Association, and this was his first time at North Pole City Star Card Master Association, thinking this was the hospitality for resting guests.

At this moment, the yellow-faced chubby man who had been talking suddenly looked over and smiled, “Qing Tan, why don’t you bring us some tea too? We are regulars here!”

Ni Qingtan blushed slightly, feigned composure, and said to Su Yuan, “Please enjoy,” before quickly walking away.

Su Yuan realized and glanced at the other tables, which had no tea. He then understood.

Su Yuan picked up the teacup and saw a note under the cup.

“Didn’t expect I’d get hit on…”

Su Yuan shook his head silently, his eyes gleaming slightly. He saw the tea price list near the counter.

Beiyue Tea, 60 coins per pot…

The silver light in his eyes faded. After drinking the tea in one gulp, Su Yuan took out 60 Great Flame Coins, placed them on the note, and pressed it with the teacup. Then, he left the association gate with Luo Bingtong.

Ni Qingtan saw Su Yuan glance at the note and leave directly, feeling a bit dejected and disappointed.

She had finally mustered the courage to take the initiative, only to be completely rejected. She shook her head and walked dejectedly to retrieve the tea.

“I’m sorry, Qing Tan. It was a mistake, don’t mind it.”

Ni Qingtan thought the yellow-faced chubby man would tease her again, but to her surprise, he apologized first.

Ni Qingtan saw the 60 Great Flame Coins under the cup, covering her note.

It was evident that the boy had somehow known the price of Beiyue Tea and had left it, avoiding making her too embarrassed.

Realizing this, Ni Qingtan looked towards the door, feeling even more dejected and regretful.
