150: Invincible at the same level! (Combined chapter, please give me a monthly ticket!)
When Jiang Yuan arrived at the designated location with Shi Ji, the Martial Arts Arena was already packed.
The school's Martial Arts Arena looked like a gladiatorial arena, with the combat area in the middle surrounded by spectator stands.
"So many people."
Looking at the crowd, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but feel a little intimidated.
His social anxiety was about to kick in.
Especially when he saw that his appearance made everyone present cheer, he instantly had the urge to turn around and run.
"What's there to be afraid of with so many people? They're not all enemies," Shi Ji chuckled softly.
There was one thing she didn't say.
Even if they were all enemies, what then?
As long as there's enough Star Power, I can have more people than them!
Though their strength might not be great.
However, now that Jiang Yuan had reached Xuanxiao Early Stage, whether it was Shi Ji, Nezha, or the Undead and Bone Spirit summoned by Shi Ji, they were all at Xuanxiao Early Stage strength.
But it was clear that there were many powerful Students among the audience.
It should be noted that this event not only attracted first and second-year Students.
It also attracted many upper-year Students to watch the battle.
Xing Ji Stage fighting Xuanxiao Stage!
And the one with lower strength was rumored to be the top first-year Student.
He had even forcefully slain Students ranked in the top fifty among second-year Students, who had been pulled to the same realm as him during the freshman assessment.
He killed seventy upperclassmen in the freshman assessment!
Even in previous freshman assessments, a first-year Student winning had never achieved such a record.
So, many of them wanted to see this strongest first-year Student.
To see if he could truly succeed in a cross-level challenge.
Even if his opponent was only a Xuanxiao Early Stage Student.
The Martial Arts Arena, which could accommodate three thousand people, was now full, but people were still continuously arriving.
"How is it? Do you have confidence?"
When Tong Yuchang saw Jiang Yuan enter, he came to Jiang Yuan's side and asked him.
"Confidence? Of course, I do."
Jiang Yuan smiled; with an acquaintance by his side, his panic subsided a lot.
Unfortunately, Mu Qianshan had gone on a mission today and hadn't returned yet.
However, if Mu Qianshan had known that Jiang Yuan chose to accept the challenge today, he wouldn't have taken that mission two days ago.
He would have come to cheer for his brother no matter what.
"Speaking of which, who is the person who challenged me? What if I don't know him?" Jiang Yuan looked around and asked curiously.
"Ailin Mountain, you'll know when you see him later."
Tong Yuchang didn't say much, after all, he was also a second-year Student now, and considered to be in the opposing camp to Jiang Yuan.
"Alright then? So what do we do now?"
Jiang Yuan asked tentatively, as he had never participated in something like this before.
He didn't know the specific procedure.
"Just wait here. When Ailin Mountain arrives, you can go straight in and fight."
After Tong Yuchang finished speaking, he stood there with Jiang Yuan and waited.
People continued to enter the arena one after another, but those without seats could only choose to stand.
Adding some fun to a boring cultivation life was a good choice.
"You are Jiang Yuan?"
Soon, Ailin Mountain arrived in the arena and spoke directly to Jiang Yuan.
"Yes, that's right."
Jiang Yuan nodded, and Ailin Mountain looked Jiang Yuan up and down with disdain.
Then his gaze shifted to Shi Ji.
"Nice girlfriend, but you're clearly not good enough."
Ailin Mountain smiled: "Are all the bets ready?"
Jiang Yuan had no intention of responding to Ailin Mountain.
Although Ailin Mountain provoked him, regarding the matter of Shi Ji being his girlfriend, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but feel a secret delight.
With so many people present, although they initially came to watch the battle between Jiang Yuan and Ailin Mountain, their gaze was now drawn to Shi Ji.
Today, Shi Ji was still in a black dress, paired with her cold temperament and exquisite face.
She attracted not only men but also women's gazes.
For example, Hu Qingwei.
She now understood why Jiang Yuan's gaze at her that day was so calm.
Although she was reluctant to admit it, Shi Ji was indeed much prettier than her.
Hu Qingwei shook her head slightly, after all, this was Jiang Yuan's battle, no matter how beautiful you are, can you help?
There were many perverts in Zhongyuan Academy.
Hu Qingwei turned her head and glanced at the brawny man next to her.
This third-year senior already had an excited look on his face, clearly having taken a liking to Shi Ji.
But thinking about herself, even her own gender was almost bent by her, she herself liked what she saw, let alone others.
Facing Ailin Mountain's question, Jiang Yuan also took out a Backpack Card.
"They're all here, where are yours?"
"Mine are also ready."
A card also appeared in Ailin Mountain's hand: "One hundred mid-grade star spirit stone are all in here."
"Good, I won't check. Obviously, with so many people watching, you wouldn't cheat."
Jiang Yuan said as he put the card in his hand away: "Then let's start the battle."
Seeing Jiang Yuan like this, Ailin Mountain swallowed the words that had reached his mouth.
If a first-year Student is so bold, how can I, a dignified second-year Student, lose momentum first?
Ailin Mountain also put away his card and nodded.
"Alright!"
However, what he didn't know was that Jiang Yuan couldn't produce so many cultivation resources at the moment.
Saying he wouldn't check was actually out of fear that the other party would check his own.
But since you're so confident, then just continue to be confident.
After Ailin Mountain finished speaking, he stepped into the Martial Arts Arena first.
The Martial Arts Arena card had already been activated when Jiang Yuan arrived.
Now, the two could directly enter and start fighting.
"Hey, wait, what are you doing?"
Seeing Jiang Yuan take two steps forward, preparing to enter, Shi Ji also followed. Ailin Mountain quickly asked.
"Oh, right."
Shi Ji chuckled, then nodded.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
After Shi Ji said something to Jiang Yuan, she transformed into a card and returned to Jiang Yuan's hand.
The characteristic of the Martial Arts Arena was that it was a virtual space, so even if Shi Ji didn't transform into a card and Jiang Yuan entered, Shi Ji would still transform into a card.
The Martial Arts Arena card possessed spatial properties.
It was like if Jiang Yuan didn't bring Shi Ji into a Cave Heaven and then summoned Shi Ji within the Cave Heaven, Shi Ji outside the Cave Heaven would also disappear.
Or rather, when Jiang Yuan first entered the Cave Heaven, Shi Ji would disappear.
After all, it was another space, and there were still distance limitations between them.
"This, this, this, this!"
Ailin Mountain's eyes widened, looking at this scene with disbelief.
"He's also a Summoning Card?"
Not only Ailin Mountain, but many people in the audience also exclaimed.
Such a beautiful woman was actually a card?
Or rather, a Card Spirit!
After Jiang Yuan rose to fame in the freshman assessment, many people in the Academy also learned about the effects of the Summoning Card in Jiang Yuan's hand.
However, only one Summoning Card appeared at that time, so they were still skeptical about whether Jiang Yuan could produce a second Summoning Card.
Now it seemed there was no need to doubt; Jiang Yuan's creation of the Summoning Card was not due to luck.
Instead, he truly mastered the method of creating Summoning Cards.
After Shi Ji disappeared, some people showed disappointment, while others became even more excited.
With a Summoning Card, won't I have a wife?
Can a Summoning Card's Card Spirit be like a doll?
Even if it's not the same, it's fine, as long as she's beautiful enough and has a good enough figure.
The brawny man next to Hu Qingwei thought exactly that.
He had already thought about what conditions he would use to persuade Jiang Yuan to create a beautiful and very well-figured Card Spirit for him.
And there were quite a few people on site who shared the same idea as him.
However, Jiang Yuan didn't know any of this at the moment; he had already stepped into the Martial Arts Arena.
Although Ailin Mountain was somewhat surprised, he also followed Jiang Yuan into the Martial Arts Arena.
The battle was about to begin!
As the giant digital countdown on the Martial Arts Arena began, both had prepared for battle.
"3!"
"2!"
"1!"
As the last number disappeared, both simultaneously materialized their cards.
Jiang Yuan directly materialized [Shi Ji].
Shi Ji appeared in the arena, and a long saber appeared in Ailin Mountain's hand opposite her.
At the same time, a blue light flashed on his body, clearly indicating that he had already used a defensive equipment card.
Upon reaching Xuanxiao Stage, they could already use two blue-quality cards simultaneously.
Although this action would directly consume most of his Star Power.
However, the Skill Card needed to restore Star Power didn't require much Star Power.
After Ailin Mountain materialized two blue quality cards, he used his remaining Star Power to materialize a white quality card.
The white quality Star Power recovery card directly restored half of Ailin Mountain's Star Power, and then continued to slowly restore it.
"How is that possible!"
Ailin Mountain was stunned looking at the aura Jiang Yuan erupted with.
"How are you also at the Xuanxiao Stage!"
Ailin Mountain was shocked, and many people in the audience were equally surprised.
And the second-year Students in the audience were a bit despairing at this moment.
They jokingly said that Jiang Yuan was invincible among those of the same stage.
But this wasn't unfounded.
He was the guy who truly killed seventy seniors of the same stage.
Although it was a jest, they all admitted Jiang Yuan's invincibility at the same stage.
"It's alright, it's alright, the battle hasn't reached its final moment, it's still unknown who will win."
A bald Xiao Pang Zi wiped the sweat from his head and said forcefully.
One must know that a part of Ailin Mountain's bet included him.
They had agreed that whoever paid would enjoy sixty percent of the cultivation resources.
The final resource allocation would be based on the proportion of their investment.
Although he didn't invest much, it was still most of his fortune.
If it weren't for the fact that star spirit stone couldn't be exchanged for cultivation resources, he wouldn't have invested.
But now it seemed his investment was going to be for naught.
"Even if he's invincible at the same stage, that was only during the Xing Ji Stage, now we are in the Xuanxiao Stage."
Another person in a similar situation also chimed in.
However, compared to the two of them, most other people felt that the second-year Students might lose this match.
After all, Jiang Yuan's invincibility at the same stage wasn't just talk.
"When did he successfully break through?"
Hu Qingwei also asked Tong Yuchang beside her with some surprise.
"How would I know?" Tong Yuchang spread his hands.
In the arena, Ailin Mountain gritted his teeth and charged towards Jiang Yuan, while a blue quality card reappeared in his hand.
Now that the arrow was on the string, he had to shoot!
And he didn't necessarily have to lose to him!
The blue quality card shone, and a translucent shield also expanded around his body, then entered Ailin Mountain's body.
This was the card Tong Yuchang had mentioned, the one where the fewer opponents there were, the less damage could be mitigated.
However, Jiang Yuan didn't pay attention.
The blue quality card, San Shi Liu Bian · Jiu Xi Fu Qi, in his hand activated, and Jiang Yuan's Star Power also began to slowly recover.
But this was clearly not enough.
The Jade Purification Bottle reappeared above Jiang Yuan's head.
As a drop of Sweet Dew Water fell, all the Star Power within Jiang Yuan's body was restored.
Shi Ji's lips curved slightly, and an Undead Race Warrior appeared in the arena.
The Undead Race Warrior activated the skill 'Charge'.
After a simple charge, he directly crashed into the charging Ailin Mountain.
Ailin Mountain was stunned.
The sudden appearance of the Undead Race Warrior caught him off guard.
"Summoner?"
Hu Qingwei frowned slightly, the Human Race's Summoner profession was very rare.
After all, they didn't have many summoning options.
Unlike the Undead, who could summon various Undead creatures for battle.
Similarly, although the Human Race could also summon Undead creatures for battle.
But Summoning Cards were generally rare in the Human Race World.
This also limited the number of Human Race Summoners.
If a Summoner played well, they were very powerful, similar to Beast Tamers.
Both relied on overwhelming numbers.
But was she directly summoning Undead for battle?
Not only Hu Qingwei, but even many senior Students were surprised to see this scene.
"Was the woman who could enslave Undead, rumored from the Undead Cave Heaven recently, her?"
Some quick-witted people had already guessed this possibility.
After all, summoning other races for battle, this was indeed a bit...
At the very least, it wasn't something she could do at her current strength.
"It should be her."
"Isn't there also one holding a long spear? That should be the other Card Spirit of that guy."
"That makes sense."
"If it's the one who can enslave Undead, he should have more than just this one Undead, right?"
As soon as someone in the audience finished speaking, Shi Ji once again summoned an Amplification Card Master in the Martial Arts Arena.
The Amplification Card Master's card shimmered.
After giving Shi Ji a continuous Star Power recovery skill, he also gave the Undead Race Warrior in front a defense enhancement skill.
Shi Ji stood beside Jiang Yuan, watching the Undead Race Warrior continuously block Ailin Mountain's attacks.
"Should we change to a different Undead Race Warrior later?"
Shi Ji, who was about to summon another Undead Race Warrior, heard Jiang Yuan say this and turned to him curiously.
"What do you mean?"
"This Undead Race Warrior doesn't have a taunt skill for the opponent."
"Taunt?"
Shi Ji was stunned, but Jiang Yuan said again: "It's a skill that forces the opponent to attack him."
Shi Ji nodded slightly, saying it like that, it did seem to be the case.
"Okay, then we'll switch if we find a suitable one."
After Shi Ji finished speaking, she summoned another Undead Race Warrior.
Isn't it that the fewer opponents there are, the higher your damage reduction? Then I'll see how much damage reduction you have with so many people now.
The Art Clan Undead Archer Re-Zero appeared in the arena, directly drawing his bow and shooting at the attacking Ailin Mountain.
"No way? So many."
Seeing the several Undead appearing consecutively in the arena, everyone was a bit surprised.
Tong Yuchang also gave a wry smile.
Sure enough, they had a plan, only I was worrying needlessly here.
Not to mention Jiang Yuan's breakthrough.
Just talking about her identity as a Summoning Card Master.
No wonder when I talked about Ailin Mountain's card, the two of them exchanged a knowing glance.
So that's how it was.
Tong Yuchang recalled how they looked when he told Jiang Yuan and the others about this.
He found it a bit strange at the time, but now that he thought about it...
Tong Yuchang shook his head slightly.
"Do you think she has other Undead?" Hu Qingwei turned to ask Tong Yuchang beside her.
"Of course she does, they caused such a stir in the Undead Cave Heaven, how could it be just these few?"
Before Tong Yuchang could speak, Tian Zhaobin, who was in front of Hu Qingwei, spoke up.
"Oh, the 17th ranked person among the second-year Students also came to watch his battle."
Hu Qingwei's face was full of smiles as she looked at the person in front of her and said.
"Aren't you, the fourth-ranked person on the second-year Students' leaderboard, also here to watch?"
"I'm different, he's my friend, it's normal for me to come and watch." Hu Qingwei smiled.
"He's your friend?"
Tian Zhaobin clearly didn't believe it: "He's your friend, and you don't know how many Undead he enslaved?"
"He's your friend, and you don't know that he has already broken through?"
"You're putting us second-year Students on the spot."
Now, basically most people had guessed that Shi Ji was the one who caused such a stir in the Undead Cave Heaven recently.
He was naturally no exception.
"We are second-year Students after all, why would he tell us two about his breakthrough?" Hu Qingwei said somewhat awkwardly.
"He should have just broken through not long ago."
Tong Yuchang looked at Jiang Yuan in the arena and said calmly: "When I saw him yesterday, he shouldn't have broken through yet."
"But there was no battle, so he didn't show it, and I'm not too sure."
The three of them looked at the stage again, sighing at the same time.
To be honest, they were still a bit displeased that Jiang Yuan alone took sixty percent of their resources.
But compared to others, the two of them admired Jiang Yuan's strength quite a bit.
Or rather, his ability to create cards of the Summoning Card type.
"It seems this match will be tough."
Tian Zhaobin smiled at the few people diagonally opposite.
"Putting everything else aside, their investment is going to be for naught." Tian Zhaobin said with a hint of schadenfreude.
