Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1519: Chapter 1218: Entering the Academy (Part 2)

”Wouldn’t it be too grand to gather all four major academies together? Our Royal Knight Academy can handle it on our own!”

As the Knight Gate opened wide, students from both sides were sizing each other up, and bursts of chatter emerged from the students of the four academies.

”Nikola, what do you think?”

A noble young lady with golden hair and blue eyes, pure and lovely, asked a tall, handsome man with golden hair beside her.

Nikola’s eyes, as beautiful as stars, swept over Zhao Ziyan and her sister, Zhou Lingyun, Wei Han, and others, finally landing on Wen Long among them, his gaze growing slightly more serious.

”I’m afraid they won’t be easy to deal with.”

”Is that so?” The noble young lady Kalina, upon hearing this, also grew slightly serious, ”Even you say they’re not easy to deal with, it seems these Great Flame geniuses do have some strength.”

Not just these two, but also the boy beside them with a Violet Brooch pinned on, and the elegant girl with long purple hair... each had a somewhat serious expression.

True nobles approach every opponent with caution.

If the Great Flame students coming for exchange were to outshine them on their home ground, it might even affect their family honor...

And among the Qiguang people, an old man with a white beard stepped forward, leaning on a luxurious staff inlaid with red rubies, and laughed loudly: ”The Imperial Royal Knight Academy welcomes the esteemed guests from Great Flame for this exchange... We have been waiting here for a long time!”

The old man’s voice wasn’t loud, yet it was as clear as a bell and full of vigor, resounding clearly in every Great Flame student’s ears across hundreds of meters of the main road.

Su Yuan, looking at the white-bearded old man from afar, asked Wu Yan, ”That should be the dean of the Royal Knight Academy, ’Floyd’, right?”

Wu Yan nodded and said, ”Floyd Howard, a leader in the field of Qiguang education, from the Howard family, one of the Five Great Families, and is himself at the Seventh Stage level!

And the two men and one woman beside him, who are of King Level, should be the deans of the other three major academies.”

”The Five Great Families, huh?”

Su Yuan thought about his purpose for this trip, his eyes flickering slightly.

Wu Yan stood up and walked to the front of the students, looking towards the Qiguang people behind the gate and said, ”We have come from afar, yet you keep the gate tightly closed, showing no manners, and it’s hard to see any ’welcome’ in this.”

Floyd smiled calmly and said, ”Director Wu, you might not know, activating the Twelve Knights Gate to greet you just represents our attention, and it’s the highest courtesy we extend to guests at our Royal Knight Academy.”

Wu Yan sneered coldly, but knowing that arguing with the other side was meaningless, for the other side had the power of interpretation, whatever they said became the truth.

Floyd bowed slightly and smiled, ”Then, please, Director Wu of Great Flame and your geniuses, come in.”

Wu Yan squinted slightly, watching Floyd and the others from Qiguang Academy inside, wondering what else they had prepared for them.

At this moment, Su Yuan’s voice came from the back, ”Vice Director Wu, don’t worry, we’ll adapt to the situation.”

Wu Yan nodded slightly. No matter what, at least they still had this companion on the trip...

With a focused gaze, Wu Yan immediately led the students past the Knight Gate into the Royal Knight Academy.

As the Great Flame group approached, Floyd gently raised the Red Ruby Staff and tapped it on the ground, and a layer of deep blue water light radiated outwards like ripples from underfoot.

The next moment, the world spun, tides surged to the sky, and an endless wave of water suddenly rose, as if they were plunged beneath a stormy sea!

”What is this?!”

”Splash...!”

Before the students could regain their composure, surging and shifting sea currents suddenly came from the front, pushing the students several steps back, even causing twenty or thirty students to stagger and falter.

The surroundings had transformed into an Undersea World. Looking ahead, one could vaguely sense the undercurrents surging and unpredictable changes, making it almost impossible to move forward.

Wu Yan frowned, ”These Qiguang people, they’re really relentless...”

Behind him, Su Yuan also examined this Undersea World-like barrier, ”Earlier it was a test of mental will, now it seems to test Star Power?”

Wen Long, Yang Heng, and others, fueled by anger, mobilized their Star Power, refusing to admit defeat, and charged ahead again.

However, it wasn’t long before they were pushed back by the surging sea currents, each attempt failing to make much progress.

In no time, each was gasping for air, with bruises appearing on their bodies, looking quite disheveled.

”This is a Level 6 array barrier called the Hexagram Abyss Sea Barrier!”

At this moment, a clean-cut, scholarly-looking male teacher walked up from behind.

Wu Yan turned back and asked, ”Teacher Xu Heng, do you recognize this barrier?”

The dozen teachers accompanying them on this exchange trip were all carefully selected elites from the Education Bureau, each having considerable achievements in certain areas.

This Teacher Xu Heng was the former Dean of the Array Division at Demon Academy, knowledgeable and experienced, a Seventh Level Array Dao Master.

Xu Heng nodded and said, ”This is a well-known barrier of the Royal Knight Academy, capable of pooling the strength of many people, using the Hexagram array patterns to amplify Star Power several times over, transmuting it into sea currents to suppress and confuse opponents.

Though it doesn’t have significant offensive capabilities, the unpredictable, impenetrable sea currents are extremely useful for limiting and trapping targets.”

Wu Yan directly asked, ”How can we break the array?”

”Judging by the Star Power Strength of this marine domain, it seems only students are involved in this array. Putting aside Vice Director Wu and Royal Envoy Su, as long as we, the dozen teachers, unleash our Star Power together, we could easily disrupt the sea currents, breaking through this Undersea World barrier.”
