Ao... the last name Ao...
Doesn't quite match Nezha's horoscope.
Ao Zhu smiled warmly, "Of course, 'Dragon Master' is a term I coined myself; you could say it's a kind of Summoning Card Master. However, my summonings are mostly dragons, which is why I call myself a Dragon Master."
Ao Zhu explained, but that wasn't what he was truly thinking.
Cursed Dragon Clan!
I insist on calling myself a Dragon Master because one day I will conquer all of you!
"Oh, is that so."
After Mu Qianshan and Jiang Yuan nodded in understanding, they curiously asked Ao Zhu.
"So, you..."
"Oh, I'm looking for a powerful team."
Seeing Jiang Yuan's inquisitive gaze, Ao Zhu forced himself to ignore Nezha's roaming eyes on his back and explained to Jiang Yuan and the others.
He didn't understand why Nezha's gaze always seemed to wander over his back.
Is there something about me that attracts him?
But why do I feel a little startled by his gaze?
After a slight shake of his head, Ao Zhu started explaining.
"My cards are mostly supportive, so I need to find a strong team; otherwise, I'm not capable of fighting on my own."
Ao Zhu spoke, his eyes betraying a hint of well-placed sorrow.
"All my teammates were wiped out on the way here, but I managed to survive because I have Life-saving Cards."
"Now, different clans can't make a move against each other because of an agreement, but once the Jasmine matures, someone like me without combat ability won't even manage to get back, so I want to find a powerful team."
"So why choose us?"
Jiang Yuan tilted his head, a bit puzzled, and asked Ao Zhu.
"It's not about choosing you, I'm still deciding, and you are just one of the options."
Ao Zhu scratched his head with an apologetic smile, "I just paid you a visit, but it seems all options look quite good, which has left me undecided."
"I see."
After Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan nodded, the doubts in their minds were temporarily alleviated.
"Uh, now that we're acquainted, I'll take my leave first. If I decide to join your team when the Jasmine blooms, please don't reject me for the time being. Thanks in advance."
Ao Zhu seemed to detect Jiang Yuan and the others' wariness towards him, so he quickly spoke up.
After seeing them nod, he slightly bowed and prepared to exit the tent.
"The Jasmine has matured!"
Just as Ao Zhu slightly opened the tent door, a voice suddenly came from outside.
"The Jasmine has matured?"
Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan rushed outside in an instant.
A smile appeared on Ao Zhu's face: "It seems that fate has already made the choice for me."
As Ao Zhu spoke, a Blue Quality Card appeared in his hand.
The Blue Quality Card in Ao Zhu's hand shimmered, and in an instant, two not-so-large dragons appeared before him and the others.
Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan curiously glanced at the two dragons.
One dragon was black and the other white; the black one resembled a Western Dragon, with a dragon head, two feet, claws, and wings integrated together.
The white one looked like an Eastern Dragon, with a slender body, four claws, and animated eyes.
An Eastern Dragon and a Western Dragon?
Jiang Yuan was puzzled.
This world does have a realm of dragon species.
Both Eastern Dragons and Western Dragons are dragons from the realm of the Dragon Clan.
However, the difference is that Western Dragons and Eastern Dragons are two distinct states of dragons.
One is called the Eastern Dragon due to occupying the eastern part of the world, like the white little dragon's form, without wings, snake-like in appearance, with scales, horns, and claws.
The other is known as the Western Dragon, which occupies the western part of the world.
Like the black dragon just now, with wings, two feet, sharp teeth, scales but no horns, claws connected to wings, flapping wings to soar.
Of course, there are also Western Dragons with four feet on the ground and two large wings growing on their backs.
But what puzzled Jiang Yuan was not this, but the fact that Ao Zhu's single card summoned two dragons of different species.
Eastern Dragons and Western Dragons within the Dragon Clan are known to engage in internal conflicts.
Even in dealings with outsiders, there is generally little cooperation.
Yet now, they have come together in a single card.
"Are you a Card Maker too?"
After Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan left, they looked up to the Jasmine on the mountain wall.
The glowing purple light that had been emanating from the Jasmine had now vanished, leaving only the unremarkable blossoms to bloom on the mountain wall.
This was what some natural treasures looked like after they ripened.
Of course, there were others that shone even more brightly once mature.
Jiang Yuan, after seeing a member of the Feiyi Clan rush up only to be instantly slaughtered by the group, finally let his guard down slightly and turned to ask Ao Zhu.
Given the current situation, with the battle below unresolved and everyone still having the capacity to pay attention to the Jasmine,
Whoever went up would die!
With that in mind, it was better to understand the abilities of one's teammates first.
"Of course, I made all these cards myself."
After a slight smile, Ao Zhu asked Jiang Yuan, "Who is the main attacker in your team?"
"Him."
Jiang Yuan pointed at Nezha, and Ao Zhu smiled while looking at Nezha.
Although there was always something about Nezha that unsettled him, they were now on the same team.
He surely wouldn't strike at him, would he?
Ao Zhu pointed a finger, and a white Eastern Dragon sprayed Dragon Breath at Nezha.
Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan were startled, but Nezha was protected by the Wind and Fire Wheel.
However, the white Dragon Breath was not affected by the Wind and Fire Wheel and covered Nezha completely, surrounding him with a halo of white light.
"Don't be anxious, this is one of my card's skills, Accelerated Dragon Breath, it can boost speed."
Seeing them on alert, Ao Zhu explained with a smile.
"Want to give it a try?"
After speaking, Ao Zhu looked at Nezha.
Nezha turned his head towards Jiang Yuan and, seeing him nod, charged at the Beastman Clan that was attacking Li Shouming and the others.
A serpent-headed Beastman stood in front of Nezha, attacking Li Shouming and his group, but in just a moment, the Beastman was pierced through by Nezha's Fire-tipped Spear.
"The speed has indeed increased a lot!"
Turning his head, Nezha excitedly told Jiang Yuan and the others.
In fact, Jiang Yuan and the others could see it clearly without Nezha saying anything.
With the full force of the Wind and Fire Wheel, Nezha moved to dispatch the serpent-headed Beastman instantly, leaving no time for the opponent to use a Life-saving Card.
The serpent-headed man didn't even comprehend how he died due to Nezha's incredibly fast sneak attack.
Seeing Nezha's excitement, Ao Zhu also let out a hidden chuckle.
How could it not be fast? The acceleration of your time means the faster you are, the stronger the effect.
"Not bad."
After Jiang Yuan nodded, he directed Nezha to launch an attack on the Beastman Clan assaulting Li Shouming and his team.
It goes without saying, the Beastman Clan was truly numerous.
With more than twenty attacking Li Shouming and his companions, let alone those from other parts of the Beastman Clan attacking different races.
"Do you have any cards to enhance the attack?"
Ao Zhu, with an excited expression, watched Nezha wreaking havoc.
For a support Card Master like him, the stronger his teammates, the safer he was.
Meanwhile, Mu Qianshan and Shi Ji also began to take action.
The first step's objective was simple: to rescue their fellow Human Clan members, such as Li Shouming.
But when Jiang Yuan posed the question, it left Ao Zhu somewhat embarrassed.
"Er, I haven't made one yet."
After seeing Jiang Yuan looking at the black Western Dragon, Ao Zhu spoke again to clarify.
"That dragon's ability is to slow down the opponent, not to enhance attack power."
"Okay then."
Jiang Yuan nodded, "Do you have any attack cards you can use?"
