“Dark Scent, then this one.”

Tong Yuchang frowned slightly; he didn't have this one in his possession either.

However, he knew someone who did have this card.

If he were to first acquire Dark Scent and then use Dark Scent to trade for Condensed Spirit Skull with Jiang Yuan, he would be at a disadvantage.

But never mind, a little loss is fine; it's not like he's losing out to this guy.

Time is of the essence!

“Alright, how much? I’ll buy it.”

“Hmm?”

As soon as Mu Qianshan finished speaking, Tong Yuchang frowned and looked at Mu Qianshan.

“What do you mean?”

“What do I mean? Don’t you have it? You can buy mine, and I can buy yours,” Mu Qianshan said, shrugging his shoulders with an innocent expression.

“Alright, alright, alright, so this is how we’re playing, huh?”

Tong Yuchang was so angry he laughed, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan.

Two Star Epoch Late Stage fellows.

They dare to play tricks on me!

This isn’t the freshman assessment; I’m not suppressed in strength now!

“Otherwise, why don’t you two have a battle, using these two items as a wager?”

Mu Qianshan, seeing Tong Yuchang’s expression, also smiled and suggested.

Tong Yuchang raised an eyebrow, Jiang Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, and both looked at Mu Qianshan simultaneously.

What a joke, this isn't the freshman assessment scenario!

Didn't you see that Tong Yuchang's strength is so much greater than ours?

Why should I do that?

Tong Yuchang also found it amusing. What a joke! You want me, a Xuanxiao Middle Stage, to battle him, a Star Epoch Late Stage?

Why don't you just give it to me directly?

“Of course, because of your strength, you can only let your Beast Tamer fight.”

Mu Qianshan spoke again after seeing both of their gazes on him.

“What?”

Now it was Tong Yuchang’s turn to frown.

However, his Beast Tamers were not below the Xuanxiao Stage.

Only the newly sealed Undead Beast Tamer was Star Epoch.

But a Star Epoch fighting a Star Epoch Late Stage?

He didn’t think he had a problem with his brain.

“But all my Beast Tamers are Xuanxiao Stage; the weakest is also Xuanxiao Early Stage. Can you two handle it?”

Tong Yuchang deliberately put on a disdainful expression.

Little did he know, Mu Qianshan was almost bursting with laughter inside.

“Hmm, I guess so?”

Mu Qianshan glanced at Jiang Yuan, then hesitantly agreed.

At this moment, Tong Yuchang also glanced at Jiang Yuan.

Seeing Jiang Yuan frowning, looking at Mu Qianshan with a bewildered expression, he felt relieved.

Jiang Yuan was indeed somewhat confused by Mu Qianshan’s actions.

However, out of trust in Mu Qianshan, Jiang Yuan didn't say anything.

It was just a Condensed Spirit Skull, after all.

Anyway, today wasn't suitable for card-making; if he couldn't find it today, he could always look tomorrow.

Besides, he had fought Tong Yuchang’s Beast Tamer before. It was merely a Second Realm Xuanxiao Early Stage, and Nezha could handle it easily.

He had originally planned to go check if Nezha could clear the 31st floor of the Dream Tower today, to see how strong Nezha was now.

He hadn't been able to clear it back then, but it should be fine now.

However, the cards in Tong Yuchang’s hand were a bit troublesome.

Xuanxiao Early Stage was fine, but it would be difficult if Tong Yuchang used a Beast Tamer Advancement Card to raise it to Xuanxiao Middle Stage.

“Of course, because your strength is greater, while there need to be restrictions, we also need to add some stakes. After all, you know the strength gap between Second Realm Xuanxiao and First Realm Star Epoch.”

Before Jiang Yuan could speak, Mu Qianshan spoke first.

Although Tong Yuchang felt the rhythm was a bit off, he had confidence in his Beast Tamer.

And a Xuanxiao Early Stage against a Star Epoch Late Stage, the strength gap was indeed quite large.

What exactly was that guy thinking?

Tong Yuchang was a bit confused. Could it be that the guy opposite him had very strong combat power?

No, he seemed to have a defense-oriented equipment card.

Tong Yuchang suddenly realized, remembering the golden mini-pagoda during the freshman assessment that his Beast Tamer couldn't break through no matter what.

A draw?

That's the idea he came up with.

If the battle is a draw, then naturally no one bothers anyone, which can prevent him from getting entangled with them.

You shrewd fellow, if I weren't so clever, you two would have really tricked me!

However, I must have this Condensed Spirit Skull!

The little Undead baby at home is already crying about the bad environment!

“Alright, I can agree. If I lose, in addition to Dark Scent, I’ll also help you get the Spring Water of Bone Regeneration.”

After Tong Yuchang thought it through, he nodded in agreement without hesitation.

“But what if it’s a draw, and neither side can defeat the other?”

“What do you suggest?”

After Tong Yuchang agreed, Mu Qianshan was practically overjoyed.

As for a draw?

What a joke!

Would Nezha’s existence result in a draw?

Besides, even if Nezha traded blows with the opponent, Jiang Yuan would still be there, so Jiang Yuan would still win this battle.

“A draw counts as my win, since I’m providing two materials. Of course, I’ll buy the Condensed Spirit Skull, how about that?”

As Tong Yuchang finished speaking, the shop assistant brought the Condensed Spirit Skull card to them.

Mu Qianshan, as an “outsider,” stepped forward and paid first.

“Alright, if he loses, you give me the money, and I’ll give you this card.”

Mu Qianshan nodded and agreed.

Overjoyed in his heart!

The plan succeeded!

Now it’s up to Nezha to perform!

As long as Nezha’s strength can defeat Tong Yuchang’s Beast Tamer, which is a Second Realm Xuanxiao Early Stage, then it'll be perfect!

If not, then it's his mistake, and he will compensate Jiang Yuan for this Condensed Spirit Skull.

If Nezha could defeat a Second Realm Xuanxiao Early Stage Beast Tamer, not only would Jiang Yuan have much less to worry about, but he would also save a large sum of money.

Mu Qianshan glanced at Tong Yuchang, who was leading the way, and clicked his tongue regretfully.

What a pity, this isn't a problem of intelligence; it's purely a problem of unequal information.

When Tong Yuchang first met Jiang Yuan and asked why the one with the spear wasn’t there, Mu Qianshan knew that Tong Yuchang was unaware that Nezha was a Card Spirit of a Summoning Card.

Initially, he hadn't paid much attention to it, until Tong Yuchang later said he also wanted the Condensed Spirit Skull and was willing to trade.

That's when Mu Qianshan became interested, realizing this was a good opportunity.

A good opportunity to gain something for nothing!

First of all, Tong Yuchang didn't know that Nezha was Jiang Yuan's Card Spirit, so he naturally wouldn't connect Jiang Yuan with Nezha.

Otherwise, he might very well refuse because Jiang Yuan and Nezha had defeated him together.

This was the advantage brought by the information gap.

Even if Tong Yuchang was wary, he was wary of Nezha. Although Mu Qianshan only knew that Jiang Yuan and Nezha had defeated Tong Qianshan, he was certain that Jiang Yuan had not participated much in the battle.

In this situation, Tong Yuchang would most likely not think Jiang Yuan was very strong and agree to this battle.

Given how much he wanted the Condensed Spirit Skull!

And he knew Nezha’s combat power; even in the Star Epoch Middle Stage, he had already cleared the 30th floor of the Dream Tower, which represented the highest combat power level of the Star Epoch Late Stage.

Such combat power in the Star Epoch Late Stage should be no problem against a Xuanxiao Early Stage Beast Tamer, right?

After all, Tong Yuchang’s Beast Tamer couldn't possibly be the strongest combat power level of Xuanxiao Early Stage.

The only uncertain point in this plan was Nezha’s combat power.

Of course, he also hadn't expected Tong Yuchang's weakest Beast Tamer to be Xuanxiao Early Stage.

He had originally thought that one of Tong Yuchang's Beast Tamers would be Star Epoch Late Stage.

That's why he later seized the opportunity to propose that Tong Yuchang, as a Beast Tamer Card Master, not participate, while also demanding that he raise the stakes.

Hmm, although he didn't quite understand Tong Qianshan’s final proposal for a draw.

But the goal had been achieved; now it was up to Nezha.

Compared to Mu Qianshan’s plan coming to fruition, and Tong Yuchang believing he had seen through Mu Qianshan and Jiang Yuan’s intentions, Jiang Yuan was quite bewildered at this moment.

Jiang Yuan indeed felt very bewildered looking at Tong Yuchang in front of him.

[Is this guy crazy? Or is he desperately trying to get back at me and crush Nezha once? And is the Condensed Spirit Skull just a smokescreen? But is he really that confident even without participating himself?]

Jiang Yuan was indeed very confused at this moment, not understanding why Tong Yuchang was so confident that his Xuanxiao Early Stage Beast Tamer could defeat his Nezha.

Didn’t you know Nezha’s combat power during the freshman assessment?

Jiang Yuan was puzzled.

Because he subconsciously overlooked the fact that “Tong Yuchang knew Nezha was his Card Spirit.”

Thus, a bewildered Jiang Yuan followed an elated Tong Yuchang to the Martial Arts Arena, and then he was no longer bewildered.

Who cares, just go up there and chop the opponent down!

Since the Beast Tamer Card Master isn't participating, let Nezha try out the combat power of a Xuanxiao Early Stage beast tamer!

After the Martial Arts Arena opened, a blue-quality card appeared in Tong Yuchang's hand.

“You’ve seen her before, the Three-Tailed Fox.”

Tong Yuchang, feeling very pleased after believing he had insight into Jiang Yuan and the others' intentions, directly explained it to Jiang Yuan.

“Oh.”

Jiang Yuan nodded. A Three-Tailed Fox, huh?

The guy Nezha took out with one spear.

“Oh?”

Tong Yuchang raised an eyebrow, smiled, and released the Three-Tailed Fox.

“Go, defeat him!”

Tong Yuchang, full of vigor, commanded the Three-Tailed Fox into the Martial Arts Arena, then shouted at her.

Upon seeing Jiang Yuan as her opponent, the Three-Tailed Fox also recalled the scene of herself foolishly spewing fire and water at Jiang Yuan's golden small pagoda, completely uselessly.

The Three-Tailed Fox bared her fangs, looking at Jiang Yuan, who had also entered the Martial Arts Arena.

This time, her power wasn't suppressed; she would definitely make him pay!

“Ha, I really don’t know where you get your confidence from.” Tong Yuchang laughed happily.

At this point, the Martial Arts Arena had already opened, leaving no room for them to back out. Tong Yuchang naturally mocked them without hesitation.

“Let’s agree first, the losing party must hand over all their wagers within twenty-four hours.”

“Naturally, if we lose, I’ll give it to you on the spot.” Mu Qianshan also nodded, a proud expression on his face.

The battle had begun; there was no turning back.

I’m not pretending anymore!

I’m laying my cards on the table!

“Hmm?”

Tong Yuchang was momentarily stunned by Mu Qianshan’s demeanor.

Where did he get such confidence?

Oh, he’s bluffing, right?

Tong Yuchang smiled; this was completely useless against him.

However, once both of them stopped pretending, they had no intention of continuing to talk. They both fell silent and turned to look at the arena.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan in the arena was already waiting for the countdown to end.

“Two!”

“One!”

As the last second of the countdown ticked away, a blue-quality card and a white-quality card instantly appeared in Jiang Yuan's hand.

At the same time, the Three-Tailed Fox directly used Wind Blade on Jiang Yuan.

Tong Yuchang’s Three-Tailed Fox’s three tails had the attributes of fire, water, and wind respectively.

Among them, wind-type skills were released the fastest.

As the Wind Blade struck, the blue card in Jiang Yuan’s hand successfully materialized.

Nezha appeared, and Samadhi True Fire was instantly released, blocking the Wind Blade’s attack.

“How is that possible!”

Tong Yuchang, below the stage, immediately sprang up, utterly stunned the moment he saw Nezha appear.

How could he not recognize Nezha!

Wasn't it Nezha who had utterly defeated him on the battlefield of the freshman assessment?

Compared to Nezha, the red-faced, fanged man who had only appeared once had been completely forgotten by him.

“Hahahaha!”

Seeing Tong Yuchang’s expression, Mu Qianshan couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

However, he still gave Tong Yuchang some face and didn’t laugh too loudly.

But Tong Yuchang wasn't deaf; at such a close distance, he naturally heard Mu Qianshan’s voice.

“What is going on!”

Tong Yuchang immediately turned his head and questioned Nezha, “How did he come out of a card!”

Tong Yuchang’s questioning contained not only shock but also some fanaticism and a hint of nervousness.

It is well known that intelligent beings cannot be sealed by Beast Tamer Cards.

That’s why Beast Tamer Card Masters are only Beast Tamer Card Masters, because they can only tame “beasts”!

Aside from beasts, most other races are not permitted.

Because intelligent races, first and foremost, will not submit to humans.

Secondly, even if they did submit, humans would not dare to keep them by their side due to the lack of Beast Tamer Card restrictions.

Throughout history, there have been countless instances of foreign races feigning submission only to launch sneak attacks and assassinations.

Yet, Jiang Yuan in the Martial Arts Arena released an intelligent race using a card!

He had fought Nezha before; he had no doubt that Nezha possessed intelligence.

After all, even a much smarter beast wouldn’t feint and launch a sudden attack like Nezha did to him, giving him no chance to react.

Moreover, he could guarantee that Jiang Yuan had not commanded Nezha!

If…

“Oh, that, this is a unique card type created by Jiang Yuan, a Summoning Card, and the one on stage holding the spear is Nezha, a Card Spirit.”

Tong Yuchang listened and immediately felt a little disappointed.

It wasn’t about controlling other races.

What a pity.

However…

“Card Spirit?”

Tong Yuchang was somewhat puzzled.

And Mu Qianshan, whose objective had been achieved, also explained it to Tong Yuchang.

“It can be done like this?”

After hearing this, Tong Yuchang looked at Jiang Yuan in the Martial Arts Arena with some surprise.

What a genius!

However, Jiang Yuan in the Martial Arts Arena at this moment was unaware of the conversation between Mu Qianshan and Tong Yuchang.

After Nezha blocked the Wind Blade, the Sweet Dew Water from the Jade Purification Bottle above Jiang Yuan’s head also fell.

Jiang Yuan’s blue card flashed, and the Fire Tipped Spear appeared before Nezha.

After Nezha drew the Fire Tipped Spear, Three Heads Six Arms instantly activated, and he charged towards the Three-Tailed Fox, wielding two Fire Tipped Spears.

And the Three-Tailed Fox, upon seeing Nezha the moment the flames dispersed, abruptly widened her eyes.

She hadn’t forgotten how she was impaled to death by one of Nezha’s spears!

But now, how did he appear again!

Subconsciously, the Three-Tailed Fox released flames to block Nezha’s advance.

However, Nezha was still the same.

Charge, step-and-spear!

He didn’t even use his Wind Fire Wheels.

However, Nezha’s Fire Tipped Spear once again broke through the flames released by the Three-Tailed Fox.

Even though there was a slight difference in cultivation stage, the Three-Tailed Fox’s flames were not solid at all and were easily broken by the Fire Tipped Spear.

After the Fire Tipped Spear broke through the flames, it once again pierced the Three-Tailed Fox’s body.

Unsurprisingly, even the Xuanxiao Early Stage Three-Tailed Fox of the Second Realm could not withstand the sharpness of the Fire Tipped Spear.

Her defense was too weak, and her movement speed wasn't fast either.

Although she had the blessing of wind, the Three-Tailed Fox was currently more adept at standing her ground and dishing out damage.

Coupled with her vision being obscured by the flames she had just spewed out.

After the Fire Tipped Spear broke through the flames, there was no way to dodge.

So, the battle ended just a few seconds after it began.

Nezha was a bit stunned, but the Martial Arts Arena instantly dissipated after the Three-Tailed Fox died.

Both the Three-Tailed Fox and Jiang Yuan returned to their states before entering.

However, seeing the Three-Tailed Fox looking as if she were crying, Jiang Yuan felt a little awkward.

But damn it, he actually saw a face as if crying from a small fox.

Sure enough, I was thinking too much.

“Battle over.”

Tong Yuchang, his face dark, hugged the Three-Tailed Fox who had pounced on him, while Mu Qianshan, beside him, said with a chuckle.

At this point, even he, slow as he might be, understood that he had been tricked.

However, since things had come to this, there was nothing he could do but accept his loss!

It was just two S-grade blue-quality material cards.

That wasn't even enough for a week's worth of food for his beast!

It was just being tricked and being instantly defeated again that made him feel annoyed!

Tong Yuchang gritted his teeth and looked at Mu Qianshan: “You’re very good, I’ll remember you!”

After Tong Yuchang finished speaking, he hugged the Three-Tailed Fox and turned to leave directly.

“Come find me tomorrow at Single-Family Dorm 166!”

Just as Mu Qianshan was about to speak, Tong Yuchang, with his back to them, spoke directly.

Mu Qianshan smiled and put his arm around Jiang Yuan’s shoulder: “How about it, saved you a lot of money and trouble, right?”

“Not bad, but I’m very curious, why did he agree?”

Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded, then asked Mu Qianshan with some curiosity.

“Simple, he didn’t know Nezha was your Card Spirit.”

As soon as Mu Qianshan spoke, Jiang Yuan understood.

It was precisely because he didn’t know, and thus thought Jiang Yuan’s combat power was weak and he would only hide in the Linglong Pagoda, that he agreed, right?

However, did he forget that I also have a Seventy-Two Transformations - Summoning Immortals card?

Jiang Yuan looked at the disappearing back of Tong Yuchang outside the door and also smiled.

However, although he had the Seventy-Two Transformations - Summoning Immortals card.

But he also wasn't sure who the immortal he summoned would be, or what kind of combat power they would possess.

Last time, it was fortunate that Gao Youqian could attack.

His combat power was also not weak.

Although he could only attack once.

But that was already enough.

What Jiang Yuan feared most was summoning an immortal who would be useless.

In that case, it would be more troublesome.

So, under normal circumstances, Jiang Yuan really didn't like using such uncontrollable cards.
