If that's the case, do I also have to address Zhao Gongming as 'Uncle-Master'?

Meh, let's pretend I don't know.

After sneaking a glance at Zhao Gongming, Nezha turned his head and started whistling.

"But now that our trump cards are all gone, we need to keep a low profile."

After sharing a laugh, Jiang Yuan then spoke to Zhao Gongming and Mu Qianshan with a helpless expression.

Although facing a single Great Liang Early-stage, or even Mid-stage opponent, they could still barely manage.

But without their trump cards, they kind of felt insecure.

Also, currently, they could only deal with individuals from the Great Liang Early or Mid-stage.

But in this battlefield of the joint examination from four schools, which Great Liang Early or Mid-stage warrior would act alone?

Throughout their time in the joint examination battlefield, the only one they had seen moving alone was that guy with the longsword.

To give him his due, that guy was truly strong.

Although he didn't show his full strength when facing them.

The first time, he didn't get to show his strength before Jiang Yuan and his team ran away.

The second time, he was directly killed by Tongtian's proxy.

Both times were like this, they only knew that his strength was formidable, but they didn't know exactly how strong he really was.

"Let's head to the next safe zone first; we should be fine if we keep low-profile on the way."

After looking at the map, Mu Qianshan sighed helplessly and said to Jiang Yuan and the others.

"Well, let Zhao Gongming rest for a while."

Jiang Yuan nodded and then turned to look at Zhao Gongming beside him.

Because of the presence of Black Tiger, Zhao Gongming could still keep up with the Unihorn Smoke Beast.

But Shi Ji was different; her Black Flame Skeleton Horse had already been sacrificed.

After all, her Black Flame Skeleton Horse was too slow to keep up with the speed of the Unihorn Smoke Beast.

But now, like Zhao Gongming, Shi Ji was also within a card, so there's no need to worry about that.

"Come to think of it, I feel like I don't really need a Mount Card."

After watching Jiang Yuan put Zhao Gongming away into a card, Mu Qianshan also touched his chin and spoke.

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Yuan turned his head towards Mu Qianshan with a puzzled look.

If you say you don't need a Mount Card and can keep up with the speed of the Unihorn Smoke Beast, then I'll let Shi Ji out too.

Riding behind a rugged man and riding behind a great beauty definitely feels different.

"I got the inspiration from that sword-wielding guy."

Mu Qianshan chuckled, but at that moment, Wang Baiqing, who was watching them from the square, darkened his face.

It seemed they really didn't know his name, so now he was referred to as that sword-wielding guy.

But it made sense; after all, they were only Jianglu-level, and the first time they met, he didn't consider them a threat.

A Mid-stage Great Liang could be defeated in a flash, not to mention a Jianglu-level.

Although he was ultimately killed by someone he originally looked down upon.

But they indeed didn't exchange names initially.

Seeing Jiang Yuan's curious gaze, Mu Qianshan chuckled again and revealed a Purple Quality card in his hand.

[72 Transformations·Swordsmanship]!

This card was initially just a blue quality card, but later Jiang Yuan upgraded the quality to purple.

Swordsmanship was actually the Sword Control Technique that Mu Qianshan had used before.

The one almost killed Gudusidan with, but Mu Qianshan had mostly forgotten about it afterward.

But now it was different, after seeing Wang Baiqing standing on a sword-like Mount Card, Mu Qianshan immediately remembered the usage method Jiang Yuan once mentioned to him.

The ability to stand on a sword and fly with Sword Control.

But it was originally just a passing comment by Jiang Yuan, and he soon forgot about it.

But now...

It's worth a try.

Mu Qianshan chuckled, and as the purple light in his hands shone, a faint purple glow also enveloped the Purple Mansion Sword in his grip.

The next second, Mu Qianshan soared into the air with the Purple Mansion Sword.

"Indeed it can!"

Mu Qianshan exclaimed excitedly and then controlled the Purple Mansion Sword to unleash its fastest speed.

Jiang Yuan also smiled, mounted the Unihorn Smoke Beast, and with Nezha, followed Mu Qianshan.

Although the speed of Sword Control flight couldn't match the extreme speed of the Unihorn Smoke Beast and Wind and Fire Wheel, the usual speed was sufficient.

"It's getting late, let's find a safe place to rest."

"Alright!"

...

...

"It looks like the originally scheduled three days for the Joint Examination between four schools won't be necessary," commented Jin Lingyu as he glanced at the screen that displayed the number of participants and pushed up his glasses.

"Yeah, I guess it will probably end in just over two days."

Miao Xinghuo nodded too, "I didn't expect this batch of students to be so aggressive."

"In the first battlefield, now there are less than three thousand people left. In the second battlefield, even fewer, only a little over a thousand. The third battlefield is somewhat better with around four thousand left."

Guan Chutian smiled slightly and glanced at Li Yueying beside her: "In the first battlefield, only a handful of Xuanxiao-level participants are left, and that's only because they have teams led by Ju Zi-level participants."

"In the second battlefield, aside from the two from Jiang Yuan's team, practically no other Jianglu-level individuals are left."

Li Yueying didn't respond to Guan Chutian's words, she understood this point too.

After all, compared to the first-time participants of the Joint Examination in the first battlefield, those in the second or even third times wouldn't consider bringing weaker juniors.

Who doesn't want to advance further in the Joint Examination between four schools and achieve a higher rank?

Who would want to carry a burden with them?

This is the difference between the two battlefields.

But this time there indeed was the unexpected factor of Jiang Yuan.

Relying on just his Jianglu-level ability, surviving this long is not to mention, and he even defeated several participants who were a Great Realm higher than him.

This achievement alone, even if Jiang Yuan doesn't make it to the top two hundred, would still make him famous among the top four academies.

"Hey, two seeded participants from there have met."

Yu Chengtian did not want to touch this topic nor provoke Li Yueying.

How could he when some of the strongest late stage Great Liang participants who were defeated by Jiang Yuan were seeds from his own academy?

Better to change the topic.

Just then, another top participant from his academy collided with a top participant from another academy.

The fight between them was bound to start soon.

"Is that our person from Daxia Academy?"

As Yu Chengtian spoke, Guan Chutian also shifted her gaze towards the group of participants in the screen who stood facing each other with drawn weapons.

"The leader from our Daxia Academy ranks sixth, Li Fawei. Who is that leading girl from the other side?"

"That girl is Huang Huanqing, the top-ranked participant from the Martial Arts Academy."

Yu Chengtian rubbed his bald head and grinned cheekily as he spoke.

It seems this time not only has our Martial Arts Academy lost a top-ten ranked participant, but your Daxia Academy will also not escape this fate.

Yu Chengtian laughed joyously, holding high regard for Huang Huanqing's ability.

After all, she is the one who overtook Wang Baiqing!

Not only is she immensely strong individually, but she also has a team around her.

Among them, the 12th, 21st, and 23rd ranked strong participants of the Martial Arts Academy are all in her team.

How could she lose under such circumstances!

Guan Chutian's expression stiffened slightly, while the young girl leading the screen didn't hesitate at all to make her move.

"Mechanical Crow, Alloy Rain!"

As Huang Huanqing waved her hand grandly, the mechanical crow on her shoulder also took to the sky.

Next, a barrage of black alloy feathers rained densely towards the opposing team like droplets.
