The result of the top four matches caused a sensation in the entire northern federation, and it stayed hot on the search list.
Xiao Xuan's fan base surged, and various praises for him emerged overnight.
Who could have imagined that Jiang Linger, who almost had an overwhelming advantage, would be defeated by Xiao Xuan.
Of course, the more interesting part was that the chief of the Baihua Hall actually abstained, allowing him to advance directly to the finals.
This decision surprised the general public, but in the eyes of some high-level people, it was precisely the wise move by Liu Yanyi.
It is well known that in the face of the complicated situation of the Nebula Legion in recent years, Liu Yanyi has always maintained a neutral position.
If one wishes not to offend either side, abstaining is undoubtedly the best way.
Because whether one abstains or not, there is no suspense in the match between Ruo Xi and Xiao Xuan in the semi-finals.
What everyone is most concerned about is undoubtedly the showdown between Qin Sheng and A Youduo.
As for the delicate thoughts of Ruo Xi, no one seems to care anymore.
As the top two young star cardists of the Nebula Legion, both of them have a five-star strength. Whoever wins in the semi-finals will be the final champion.
Nebula Pavilion.
Yan Wangqing lay on the sofa, legs crossed, holding a book and flipping through it nonchalantly.
"It's good that the match ended early, it didn't delay making dinner for the master."
Putting the last piece of cheese ribs on the table, Xiao Xuan glanced at those overbearing beautiful legs, then quickly looked away with a smirk.
Yan Wanqing lighted sat down on the chair, and a rare smile appeared on her cold face, saying, "You did well today~"
"If it weren’t for the master's support, I'm afraid I wouldn’t even have had a chance to go on stage," Xiao Xuan said, which was indeed true. Without this big support, whether he could survive now is still a question.
Yan Wanqing flicked her fingers, and five golden quality star source papers flew over, "This is your reward."
"Thank you, master." Xiao Xuan was delighted. Although it was just gold, golden star source paper is also extremely rare.
As for the platinum card, he didn't dare to think about it, although he already had one in his hand.
Even Jiang Linger, the daughter of the Lord of the Fiery Flame Hall, did not have a complete set of platinum cards in her participating deck.
From this, the rarity of platinum cards can be seen.
Yan Wangqing slightly nodded, picked up a piece of ribs, and asked without changing her tone, "I heard that Jiang Linger came to find you earlier."
"We are innocent," Xiao Xuan said seriously.
"Why, don't you like her?" Yan Wanqing sipped her wine lightly, with a touch of lingering tone, "Or, have you already got someone in your heart?"
Her voice paused, and she blinked her eyelashes, like cutting a wave of autumnwater, and said, "In my opinion, the little girl you live with is quite nice."
"She is my friend, very innocent," Xiao Xuan said seriously, his voice a little rushed.
Yan Wanqing raised her phoenix-like eyes, looking at Xiao Xuan with interest, with a hint of scrutiny in her eyes, and said, "Why are you so nervous?"
"I'm afraid the master will misunderstand," Xiao Xuan looked at her innocently.
"No need to be afraid, the master does not oppose you having a girlfriend. If you like someone, pursue her boldly," Yan Wanqing said.
Xiao Xuan felt inexplicably worried and blurted out, "Actually, the one I like is..."
"Hmm?" Yan Wanqing stared at him with beautiful eyes.
Xiao Xuan felt nervous under that mesmerizing gaze, so he said with a frivolous smile, "Who needs a girlfriend when star cards are so much fun?"
Yan Wanqing:...
As Xiao Xuan ate, he casually said, "I have no big ambitions, I just want to stay by the master's side for the rest of my life and cook for the master."
Yan Wanqing teased, "Aren't you afraid I'll get tired of it one day?"
Xiao Xuan smiled and said casually, "If the master gets tired of the food, I can bring out something even tastier than food."
Yan Wanqing was slightly startled, the chopsticks paused, floating in the air, and asked, "What?"
"Master, what is Qin Sheng's strength?" Xiao Xuan quickly changed the subject.
Yan Wangqing frowned slightly, silent for a moment, and said, "Jiang Linger couldn't even last five minutes in front of him."
"So strong?" Xiao Xuan's face changed slightly, but there was no fear in his eyes, "This month, I will work hard."
Yan Wanqing was silent for a moment and said, "You are at the mid-level of four stars now, right?"
Xiao Xuan nodded. He was originally at the early stage of four stars, and after defeating Jiang Linger, his source energy naturally made a breakthrough.
Yan Wangqing hesitated for a moment and said, "If you haven't broken through to five stars, you simply cannot be his opponent."
Xiao Xuan was startled. She knew that her master had never underestimated her, but since he made such a statement, it was enough to illustrate the strength of Qin Sheng.
But, in just a month, how could one possibly break through from the intermediate stage of four stars to five stars?
It's important to note that with star cards, the higher the level of cultivation, the more difficult it becomes.
At the end of the previous trial, he had already broken through to four stars. However, from the end of the trial to the start of the top 4, a whole month had passed, and he had only stabilised his level at the early stage of four stars.
How difficult it was to make a breakthrough!
"It seems like we need to go to the Star Beast Realm," Xiao Xuan said.
Yan Wangqing gathered her hair and said, "No need to rush. I will arrange your training plan for this month."
"Thank you, Master," Xiao Xuan said, raising his glass. "I toast to my Master."
Yan Wangqing's eyes shone as she raised her glass and drank it in one go, very boldly.
"After finishing this glass, there are three more."
"..."

Qin Wang's Palace.
Qin Wang was sitting upright behind a clean desk, flipping through books. Qin Sheng stood straight beside him.
After a while, Qin Wang took his eyes off the books and leaned back in his chair, saying, "I didn't expect him to enter the finals... it's really unexpected."
Qin Sheng sneered, "It's just a matter of good luck."
Qin Wang's eyes flashed as he asked, "What's the background of Bai Huadian Ruoxi?"
Qin Sheng replied, "I've investigated. Both of them were interstellar refugees who were taken in together several months ago."
Qin Wang nodded slightly, saying, "According to the rules, each hall is assigned four vice hall masters. Last year, Li Yan, the vice hall master of Tianyuan Hall, disappeared, and this position has been vacant since then. However, no suitable candidate has been found. Therefore, the top officials decided that the last vice hall master of Tianyuan Hall would be the champion of this year's Seven Halls Tournament."
"So, in the last two matches, there must be no mistakes."
Qin Sheng nodded, asking, "So, which side is Gong Wu from?"
Qin Wang's eyes flashed as he said, "This old fox is too cunning for me to interpret."
"Now, with Xiao Xuan's rise to fame, the weight of the Lord of Suming Hall has increased, so you must win the championship, go and take up the position of vice hall master, in order to guarantee absolute control over Tianyuan Hall."
"If Tianyuan Hall can hold steady, then some of the next plans will naturally be easier to implement."
Qin Sheng's eyes revealed a hint of anticipation as he said, "Becoming a vice hall master, is the next step to become the Lord of Tianyuan Hall, right?"
"Hmm, it's not as simple as you think," Qin Wang shook his head, saying, "To become a hall master, you must have at least three conditions."
Qin Sheng became spirited, asking, "What are the three?"
"One, become a vice hall master."
"Two, make a huge contribution to the Starnet Legion."
"Three, possess the Hall Master's Seal."
Qin Wang suddenly stood up and walked to the window, looking out at the distant Starry Sea, saying, "If you win the championship, it will be easy to become a vice hall master."
"As for the second condition, in recent days, other forces in the northern part of the Federation have been restless. If war really breaks out in the future, and you lead the troops in repelling the enemy, it will naturally be a huge contribution."
"But..." Qin Wang's face showed a complex expression as he said, "Since Yunliu disappeared, the Hall Master's Seal has not surfaced. It's so difficult to find it."
Qin Sheng said in a deep voice, "With no news of Yunliu, it's possible that he's long since died at the hands of others, and the Hall Master's Seal may never resurface."
Qin Wang's eyes narrowed as he said, "For some reason, I always feel that the Hall Master's Seal hasn't actually disappeared, perhaps it's right here in the Starnet Legion, around us."
"Well, these matters are not what you need to worry about now."
Qin Wang's eyes narrowed slightly, showing a hint of indescribable feeling, as he said, "I didn't expect that these two refugees would actually be able to stir up such a storm in my Starnet Legion. It's truly embarrassing."
Qin Sheng stood with his hands behind his back, looking disdainful as he said, "However, Father, you don't need to worry. Xiao Xuan had to fight so desperately to defeat Jiang Linger. If I were to meet him in the final, I could certainly teach him a lesson."
"Only a mere four-star card master, causing no waves."
Qin Wang turned to look at him, saying, "Why are you so proud? Was it I who taught you that?"
Qin Sheng said nonchalantly, "That's because I have the capital to be proud."
"Nonsense!" Qin Wang suddenly became furious, his eyes chillingly fixed on Qin Sheng as he said, "From the New Army Assessment to the Top 4, don't you understand? Why do you still think he is someone easily dealt with?"
"If you have this attitude, you might as well forfeit. Even if you win the final, you won't go far in the future!"
"Don't be surprised if, in the end, you end up as the next one to give him experience!"
Qin Sheng sweated profusely, trembling, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked, "What does Father mean?"
Qin Wang took a deep breath and calmed down, saying, "Contact Jiang Qingyan and have him send out skilled fighters from the hall to do everything possible to assassinate him."
Qin Sheng was stunned and said, "For such a thing, it would be better to send our hall's death squads directly. Why bother contacting Jiang Qingyan?"
The king of Qin lowered his head and looked at his feet, saying, "Do you know why people's feet are so pale?"
"Why?" Qin Sheng was puzzled.
The king of Qin looked deeply at him and said, "Because they hide."
Qin Sheng was slightly stunned, who exactly did his father mean by these feet?
