318: The peak of the demon level? Unit of measurement? Weird (asking for a monthly ticket!)

“Hmm?”

When Jiang Yuan saw Xiong Peikang deep in thought, he immediately felt a surge of anticipation.

“Forget it, I won’t tell you.”

After a moment of silence, Xiong Peikang looked Jiang Yuan up and down before shaking his head and saying.

“Hmm?”

Jiang Yuan was puzzled: “Why not?”

“Because that guy is quite strong, and there are many of them.” Xiong Peikang said with a helpless expression, shaking his head.

“Quite strong, who is it?”

“Kadinga of the Thunder Elemental Spirit Race.”

“How strong?”

“Probably a bit stronger than Shi Zhuan.”

Xiong Peikang said to Jiang Yuan with a teasing smile.

Jiang Yuan wasn’t the only one who became famous during this Four School Joint Examination; there was also Shi Zhuan.

After all, no one would have expected Shi Zhuan, who was ranked first among fifth-year Students of Da Xia Academy, to lose two consecutive matches.

In the second match, he even lost only to his opponent’s Card Spirit.

Although Card Spirit was not very familiar in everyone’s eyes, everyone would understand if it was rephrased.

Shi Zhuan, ranked first among fifth-year Students of Da Xia Academy, lost to a Beast Tamer Card Master’s beast from another academy.

Moreover, that Card Master was only at the Daliang level, while Shi Zhuan was at the Late Stage level.

With that explanation, basically everyone understood and got it.

As a result, in the period immediately after the Four School Joint Examination, the internet was filled with ridicule for Shi Zhuan.

There was no other way; it was too embarrassing.

Da Xia Academy was also embarrassed by association.

In any case, it was certain that within five years, Da Xia Academy would be completely unable to raise its head in the Four School Joint Examination.

When Xiong Peikang said that Kadinga was stronger than Shi Zhuan, it probably also contained some mockery towards Shi Zhuan.

After all, although Shi Zhuan lost to Zhan Youqing and Old Jun, not many people of the same level could defeat him.

“Even so… it’s still alright, isn’t it?”

After recalling Shi Zhuan’s combat power, Jiang Yuan also said with some hesitation.

“The problem is, Kadinga’s strength is definitely stronger than Shi Zhuan’s.”

“Plus, because of her Thunder Elemental Spirit Race identity, her strength will greatly increase in a terrain like Lei Bao Canyon, probably equivalent to more than one Shi Zhuan.”

“And unlike Shi Zhuan, the other party has many people.”

When Xiong Peikang said this, a hint of displeasure appeared on his face.

“Among the nine people accompanying her, which is a ten-person team, besides her, there are several others with strength similar to Shi Zhuan.”

“Adding a few others who are slightly weaker than them, their ten-person team can be said to be the strongest team in this Lei Bao Canyon.”

When Xiong Peikang said this, Jiang Yuan was a little surprised: “In that case, aren’t there other people forming a strong team to attack them?”

“There hasn’t been an opportunity before, after all, they just arrived here not long ago.”

Xiong Peikang spread his hands and smiled: “Because of the Four School Joint Examination, basically everyone from the Four Top Academies went back.”

“You also know that although there are many academies in Great Beam, the Students of the Four Top Academies, even if not considered top-tier, are at least first-class.”

“Especially, there are many first-class ones.”

Jiang Yuan nodded; he understood what he was hearing.

The “top-tier” Xiong Peikang was referring to referred to Students with abnormal combat power like Jiang Yuan and Kadinga.

After all, Da Xia Academy is so large that it is impossible for all top-tier academies to recruit all Students with abnormal combat power.

Such individuals might also appear in other academies.

Individual cultivation still has some reasons.

A good academy can indeed teach you a lot and give you a better network of connections, but individual opportunities are also very important.

“Look, he has twice organized us to fight against Kadinga’s team, but we still couldn’t match their combat power.”

Xiong Peikang said, pointing to a short-haired young man who looked to be in his twenties over there.

“Although he is not from our Four Top Academies, his combat power is also very terrifying, capable of fighting Kadinga equally in a one-on-one battle, which is also an abnormal level of combat power.”

Jiang Yuan turned his head to look, but the person seemed to sense it and also looked at Jiang Yuan.

Their gazes met, and as a Student with a slight social phobia, Jiang Yuan’s heart instantly panicked.

But fortunately, after only a brief eye contact, he turned his head and stopped looking at him.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan also felt a sense of relief: “Also an abnormal level of combat power, then can he take down Kadinga?”

“How could it be that easy?”

Xiong Peikang smiled bitterly and shook his head: “Not to mention that our overall combat power is inferior to theirs, but also that almost all of them are of the Thunder Elemental Spirit Race, and their combat power is terrifying in this kind of terrain.”

“That he can go fifty-fifty with Kadinga has already exceeded our expectations, to be honest.”

“It’s just that our teammates can’t keep up, and there’s no way to get all humans to attack their ten-person team together.”

“I understand that, after all, they don’t just have one team.” Jiang Yuan nodded, indicating that he understood.

In this kind of battle, if it’s a battle between teams, then there’s nothing wrong with it; other members of their respective races generally won’t interfere in such battles.

If they win, it’s fine; if they help, at most it’s a matter of loot distribution later.

If their own family members are about to lose, although they can directly enter the field and save whoever they can, they also have to worry about the other team’s family members entering the field.

For example, if other humans help this team, other Element Spirit Race members will also come to help their Element Spirit Race members.

In that case, a chaotic battle would begin.

Of course, this is only an occasional situation.

After all, those who fight in this kind of place basically choose their opponents well, and under normal circumstances, no one will give the opponent a chance to rescue their own family members.

To hold back the opponent as much as possible and prevent the opponent from supporting others is something that both sides will keep in mind.

This is the opposing heaven where the Element Spirit Race and the Human Race are located; there are only two factions, and the combat style is different from the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield.

There is no need to guard against backstabbing from other races; one can single-mindedly focus on eliminating the opponent.

“Then when is the next time we target that person called Kaya… what’s her name?”

“Huh?”

Xiong Peikang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jiang Yuan and reacted: “That’s right, with your strength, you can indeed defeat Kadinga, after all, one of your Card Spirits defeated Shi Zhuan.”

Xiong Peikang said, and couldn’t help but smile: “I always feel like Shi Zhuan has already become a unit of measurement.”

“Unit of measurement.”

Jiang Yuan also couldn’t help but laugh when he heard that; if he had to say so, Shi Zhuan as a unit of measurement was indeed not bad.

After all, as long as one could defeat Shi Zhuan, it proved that that person possessed abnormal combat power at the same level.

Hmm, the gatekeeper of abnormal combat power.

It feels like Shi Zhuan as a unit of measurement is even more useful than Mu Qianshan.

Jiang Yuan stroked his chin, while Xiong Peikang laughed when he saw Jiang Yuan like this.

“Probably these two days.”

“What about these two days?”

Jiang Yuan was still immersed in the matter of the unit of measurement and didn’t have time to react.

“In these two days, if nothing unexpected happens, there should be another battle before the leijiang marrow can be collected.”

“He will definitely go to Kadinga’s team for this battle; you can join in.”

Xiong Peikang said, pointing to the short-haired young man from before: “However, after the leijiang marrow can be collected, there will be another battle, and this battle will be more important; you can choose which one to join.”

“The most recent one.”

Jiang Yuan made his decision immediately without much thought.

Compared to lei mang carrot, leijiang marrow still had a lower priority.

It was best to defeat that person called Kaya… as soon as possible.

Jiang Yuan had this confidence.

After all, Xiong Peikang had already indicated that the opponent’s strength was only slightly stronger than Shi Zhuan’s.

He should be able to handle it.

“Don’t be too careless.”

At this moment, Xiong Peikang seemed to have seen through Jiang Yuan’s thoughts and suddenly became serious, speaking to Jiang Yuan.

“What do you mean?”

“It means that there are more Element Spirit Race members than Human Race members in this area.”

Xiong Peikang’s eyes were serious: “That is to say, it’s not out of the question that you might have to face several of them alone.”

Saying that, Xiong Peikang also pointed to the short-haired young man from just now: “Bai Wanbao’s strength is very strong, but there are several others like him.”

Xiong Peikang said, then pointed to several people on the other side.

“Left Shepherd Forest, Li Xuechen, Fan Yuexian, these three also possess abnormal combat power.”

“Hmm, Left Shepherd Forest ranked thirty-first in this Four School Joint Examination, and Li Xuechen ranked twenty-seventh; I don’t know if you still remember them.”

“Uh.”

Jiang Yuan was silent for a moment, to be serious.

He looked familiar.

But he really didn’t know their names.

“And that woman, a very quiet person, is a Beast Tamer Card Master, not from any academy, but she seems to be from a large family in Central Earth, and her strength is also very strong.”

After Xiong Peikang finished speaking, he smiled and pointed to himself: “Hmm, I’m pretty much the same, also considered a top-tier combatant, but still a bit short of abnormal combat power, barely considered a monster-level peak.”

“Ha.”

Jiang Yuan was amused by Xiong Peikang’s term “monster-level peak.”

How could there be such a classification?

Although due to different cards used, different professions, and different races, there were differences in combat power among different people of the same level.

However, the five levels of ordinary, genius, monster, prodigy, and abnormal were still relatively general.

(Based on the First Sequence Race combat power classification.)

It’s just because they’ve been called that for a long time that they’re divided this way.

But the term “monster-level peak combat power,” Jiang Yuan really couldn’t help but want to laugh.

What kind of third-rate cultivation novel is this?

It’s even divided into early, mid, late, and peak stages.

Won’t there be a “half-step abnormal level” next?

Hmm, it’s not impossible.

Shi Zhuan seems to be at this level.

If it weren’t for the terrifying defense of the Pale Floating Pagoda, which made it difficult to break through, he probably wouldn’t have been able to reach the number one ranking among fifth-year Students of Da Xia Academy.

Just like when talking about combat power now, even among the strong combatants on the field, including Kadinga of the Thunder Elemental Spirit Race, they might not be able to break through the Pale Floating Pagoda on Shi Zhuan.

This is one of the Five-Colored Floating Pagoda Heavy Armor!

“Hmm…”

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Yuan suddenly looked up: “How about I take you with me, and then we get a few more people, form a team, and then go find that Kaya… person.”

“Kadinga…”

Xiong Peikang was a little helpless: “If you want to do that, you might as well join Bai Wanbao’s team and replace someone.”

“It’s not impossible…”

Jiang Yuan nodded, but still hesitated: “But if I join his team, will I be able to fight Kadinga?”

“That’s something you’ll need to discuss with him.”

Xiong Peikang spread his hands: “But seriously, if he has seen your combat, he shouldn’t refuse.”

“Or you can discuss it and gather together.”

Xiong Peikang said, then pointed to Bai Wanbao and Left Shepherd Forest.

“You can also join other people’s teams, or conquer them and have them join your team.”

Xiong Peikang said, then made a cheering gesture to Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan turned to look at the few people, feeling a little tired.

At this moment, it would be great if Mu Qianshan were here.

Asking a socially anxious person to proactively approach others…

Hmm, he needed to do some mental preparation.

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath, and after making his decision, he went to find Left Shepherd Forest.

Among the four people, in Jiang Yuan’s opinion, he should be the easiest to approach.

“Then I’ll go over first.”

“Okay.”

After Xiong Peikang nodded, Jiang Yuan walked towards Left Shepherd Forest.

“Jiang Yuan?”

Finally, the moment that made Jiang Yuan feel relaxed arrived.

Left Shepherd Forest spoke first, and he even recognized him.

This was quite friendly for a socially anxious Student.

“Hello, I’ve seen your battles, very strong, just a bit unlucky.” Jiang Yuan said with a smile, greeting him.

“Haha, indeed, if I hadn’t run into Li Chengyi from your academy, I might have been able to push further.”

Left Shepherd Forest smiled, then reacted: “By the way, you came here for…”

“I came for lei mang carrot, but they don’t sell it outside, so I had to come myself.” Jiang Yuan said, appropriately showing a helpless expression on his face.

“lei mang carrot? I remember Kadinga seemed to have obtained one a while ago.”

“Yes, precisely because of that, I wanted to discuss it with you all.”

Jiang Yuan smiled and stated his idea.

It was nothing more than deciding whose team to join and then confronting Kadinga.

If it was a one-on-one against Kadinga, he was confident he could defeat her.

“Of course you can!”

Left Shepherd Forest was delighted: “We were just wondering who could defeat that guy.”

“To be honest, that guy is really strong; her speed, strength, and defense are terrifyingly strong. I even doubt if Shi Zhuan wearing the Pale Floating Pagoda could block that guy.”

Left Shepherd Forest shook his head helplessly: “But with you here, it should be no problem. After all, your strength is much stronger than Shi Zhuan’s. I’ll call him over now.”

“Bai Wanbao!”
