359: Jiang Yuan: How about we vote? (asking for monthly ticket)

“Why is no one challenging me again?”

Nezha, burning with Samadhi True Fire like a demon god, waited for a moment, then turned to Jiang Yuan, asking in confusion.

Jiang Yuan chuckled, “You’re too ostentatious; you’ve displayed your strength to the fullest.”

“I can’t help it, my strength is just that great.”

“Ha, it’s fine, we’ve pretty much secured first place anyway.”

Seeing Nezha’s smug expression, Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but laugh and said.

Nothing else, it was truly because Nezha killed too quickly.

His number of defeated opponents had already reached over five hundred, putting him far ahead of everyone else.

Even Utinaki of the Demon Race only had a little over three hundred.

Utinaki was defeated by Huang Huanqing and forced off the arena.

However, his strength was still very high, and after resting for a while, he defeated Lisandro of the Giant Demon Clan and took over his arena.

The other three arena masters were Terrabelle of the Angel Clan, Huang Huanqing of the Human Race, and Akaroni of the Giant Race.

Seeing that the time was almost ten hours, many people could no longer sit still.

“Why the Human Race? Why can they occupy two arenas?”

“Is anyone coming with me to challenge the Human Race!”

“I’m coming!”

“Me too!”

Soon, the area below the arena became noisy.

Many people from other races were dissatisfied that the Human Race could get two arenas, so they all began to challenge the Human Race’s arenas.

However, strangely, they all queued up on Huang Huanqing’s side, and no one came to Jiang Yuan’s side.

This was why Nezha had asked that question earlier.

“Aren’t you going up to challenge?”

At this moment, Wusun Zhongliang of the Demon Race asked the Demon Race girl next to him with some curiosity.

“Going up, but not now.”

The Demon Race girl looked up at Jiang Yuan, revealing a bright smile.

“Not now?”

Wusun Zhongliang was a bit puzzled, and at the same time looked enviously at Jiang Yuan on the arena.

We were at the same level back then, but now I can’t even see his back.

I don’t even have the qualifications to be an opponent.

Truly…

“By recognizing the gap, we can work harder to catch up, can’t we?”

As if sensing Wusun Zhongliang’s disappointment, Fifth Jiao stepped forward and whispered into Wusun Zhongliang’s ear.

She was no different.

The last time she saw Jiang Yuan, they were Jiang Yuan’s opponents.

But this time?

This time, they were cannon fodder.

“Among the Ten Thousand Races, geniuses emerge endlessly; you are not the only one.”

“Ha.”

Wusun Zhongliang chuckled self-deprecatingly, “Now I finally understand why this sentence has circulated in the Ten Thousand Races World for so long.”

“Because this is the truth!”

“I was indeed a genius of the Demon Race, but only a genius within that strength bracket.”

Wusun Zhongliang looked up slightly, gazing at Jiang Yuan in the arena, and secretly made a resolution.

He must, he must catch up to the other party!

As time passed, besides the Students who were forcibly arranged to challenge, there was not a single Student who voluntarily came forward to challenge Jiang Yuan.

However, even so, even without considering the judgment of idle time, it was enough for Jiang Yuan to secure first place.

“I should make some casual Skill Cards.”

Jiang Yuan sat cross-legged on the arena, speaking somewhat boredly.

“Like ‘Fight the Landlord’ or something.”

“The entertainment options in this world are too few.”

Jiang Yuan shook his head, and the Old Monarch beside him also seemed unenthusiastic.

If it weren’t for the wrong occasion, he would have already wanted to start a furnace to refine a pot of pills.

“Based on my judgment of you, your physical condition should be sufficient after taking two more doses of medicine when you return.”

“It should be time to break through, right?”

“Mm, after returning from the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield this time, I’ll start preparing for the breakthrough.”

Facing the Old Monarch’s question, Jiang Yuan also nodded and said.

“Do you have any thoughts of entering the fray yourself?”

“I feel like entering the fray myself is quite troublesome.”

Jiang Yuan shook his head slightly, “Being a pure Summoner isn’t bad at all.”

“That’s right.”

The Old Monarch nodded with a smile, looking like a teachable Student.

“However, necessary life-saving measures cannot be omitted; Formation Cards are quite good.”

“Of course, I have a dream.”

Jiang Yuan smiled, calculating the top-tier grand formations of the Primordial Era in his mind.

“When necessary, some Skill Cards are also acceptable.”

The Old Monarch stroked his beard, “For example, the Five Elements Spell Cards and Thunder Spell Cards you made are all good.”

“Then I can make some more when I go back.”

Jiang Yuan nodded; he also had this idea.

Although he was a Summoner, he couldn’t possibly have no offensive means at all, could he?

After all, Skill Cards like [Shadow Duel] should not only exist in the Human Race World.

“Excellent.”

The Old Monarch stroked his beard and nodded with a smile.

Below the arena, Wenren Fangyan looked at her younger sister, frowning slightly, “Are you sure you want to challenge Jiang Yuan?”

“Besides him, do I have any other choices?”

Facing Wenren Fangyan’s question, Wenren Fangmeng chuckled and retorted.

Wenren Fangyan fell silent.

Because he knew that among the five people on the field, his younger sister’s two cards would only be effective against Huang Huanqing, besides Jiang Yuan.

But the queue on Huang Huanqing’s side was too long, and she couldn’t even get in line.

Moreover, there were only ten minutes left.

“Ten minutes is enough.”

Wenren Fangmeng patted Wenren Fangyan’s shoulder, then skipped towards the stage.

“Hm?”

Seeing the newcomer, Nezha, who had been looking utterly bored, suddenly stood up, his face showing excitement.

“Are you challenging?”

“If I’m not challenging, why would I come up?”

Wenren Fangmeng chuckled, then a Skill Card appeared in her hand.

The battle began!

Nezha, excited, stepped on his Wind Fire Wheels and flew up, rushing directly towards Wenren Fangmeng.

However, Wenren Fangmeng didn’t even look at Nezha, instead turning to glance at Jiang Yuan, then her Skill Card glowed, and Wenren Fangmeng instantly vanished from the field.

At the same time, an invisible Energy also entered Jiang Yuan’s mind.

“Hm?”

Nezha, unable to find his opponent, turned to Jiang Yuan in confusion.

Jiang Yuan spread his hands, his face helpless.

“It seems I really need a skill that can see through illusions and disguises.”

“Eye of Disillusionment, that one’s not bad.”

The Old Monarch showed no sign of worry on his face, nodding with a smile, then said to Jiang Yuan.

“Even if a Skill Card cannot be made temporarily, a one-time Skill Card can be made for immediate use.”

“I was thinking the same thing.”

A smile appeared on Jiang Yuan’s face, with no hint of worry.

The Linglong Pagoda was outside, the Linglong Pagoda was inside, and there was also a Purple Ribbon Garment.

With three layers of protection, his safety could be said to be very much guaranteed.

Even if the opponent had the ability to break through the two Linglong Pagodas, as long as they appeared, it would be enough for Nezha and Zhao Gongming to eliminate them.

Furthermore, if the opponent wanted to break through, these two defensive equipments still had basic defensive power and could hold out for a while no matter what.

This short amount of time would be enough for Jiang Yuan to react.

However, what was strange was that…

Three minutes had passed, but the opponent had not appeared.

“Didn’t find an opportunity?”

Not only Jiang Yuan and Nezha had this thought, but the few Demon Race individuals below also had the same thought.

“No.”

Wenren Fangyan shook her head slightly, “Just now, Xiaomeng obtained a purple-quality Skill Card in the previous checkpoint.”

“That’s a one-time Skill Card that can reliably kill the opponent’s one-time Skill Card.”

“What one-time Skill Card can reliably kill the opponent?” Fifth Jiao asked Wenren Fangyan with some surprise, looking up at the arena.

“Its name is Soul Destruction.”

Wenren Fangyan spoke of the Skill Card information she had obtained from Wenren Fangmeng.

“Although this skill is a one-time Skill Card, its damage is terrifying, and it can be used stealthily.”

Wenren Fangyan said, gesturing towards Jiang Yuan on the field, “One of the two purple-quality Skill Cards Xiaomeng used when she entered the arena was Soul Destruction.”

“And the target was precisely Jiang Yuan.”

As Jiang Yuan’s old opponent, and also an old opponent of the Human Race, after encountering Jiang Yuan in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield that time, he went back and collected some information about Jiang Yuan.

Although it was just ordinary information, he still learned about Jiang Yuan, or rather, the existence of his Card Spirit.

As long as Jiang Yuan was eliminated, those Card Spirits, which were similar to beast-taming methods, would naturally also be eliminated!

This was why Wenren Fangmeng said that this strategy could only be used against Jiang Yuan or Huang Huanqing.

After Wenren Fangyan finished speaking, she turned to the two people next to her, “Did you notice anything?”

“No.”

Fifth Jiao and Wusun Zhongliang shook their heads; they indeed did not see that Jiang Yuan had already been hit by the Skill Card.

“But Jiang Yuan doesn’t seem to be reacting.” Fifth Jiao looked up at Jiang Yuan, who was still smiling and chatting with Shi Ji, and asked Wenren Fangyan with some confusion.

“Just wait, this type of Skill Card usually has a restrictive condition.”

Wenren Fangyan smiled slightly and also looked up at Jiang Yuan on the arena.

“As a soul-attacking Skill Card, the principle of this skill is to enter the target’s mind, then expand within the opponent’s mental Energy until it expands to be larger than the target’s mental Energy, then immediately devour the target’s mental ability, thereby causing damage to the opponent.”

“This requires time.”

“Generally speaking, for strength in the Late Stage, the expansion time is about five minutes, but according to Xiaomeng’s estimate of Jiang Yuan, the opponent’s mental strength should not be weak, probably requiring about six or seven minutes.”

Wenren Fangyan smiled, “Sixth Realm Shi Shen only takes ten minutes; he can’t possibly have Shen-level mental strength.”

“So ten minutes is enough; it just depends on whether Xiaomeng can hold on for that long.”

“So her current use of Shadow Concealment is to buy time?”

Wusun Zhongliang was a bit puzzled, “But Shadow Concealment can only last for about five minutes, right?”

“And if the opponent uses a wide-range attack to cover the entire area, she can also be forced out.”

“That’s right.”

Wenren Fangyan nodded, but her face showed no sign of worry.

“Because besides this skill, she has other skills.”

“One, also a Skill Card obtained as a reward from a previous checkpoint.”

“Plus the hiding effect of Dark Sky Curtain, six or seven minutes should be very easy to achieve.”

Wenren Fangyan was full of confidence, even though Nezha on the arena had already begun to release flames to cover the entire field.

However, three minutes had already passed.

Now, they just needed to wait another three or four minutes.

[Samadhi True Fire] covered the entire field, quickly forcing Wenren Fangmeng out.

However, somewhat to Jiang Yuan’s surprise, Wenren Fangmeng did not attack Jiang Yuan, but instead used another Skill Card and disappeared again.

[Dark Sky Curtain], lasting for one minute.

Within the duration, all people covered by the Sky Curtain will lose their vision.

“She wants to buy time?”

Jiang Yuan was a bit puzzled, not understanding the meaning of the opponent delaying time.

Although there were only six minutes left until the checkpoint ended.

However, even if the checkpoint ended, if the arena battle hadn’t ended, it would be forcibly concluded.

Although he wouldn’t be counted as victorious, the opponent wouldn’t either.

So Jiang Yuan didn’t quite understand the meaning of the opponent doing this.

Unless…

Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book?

Jiang Yuan looked at Zhao Gongming beside him, and suddenly realized.

Zhao Gongming seemed to have been delayed in time like this, and then died by a sneak attack.

It seemed that the opponent should also have this type of attack.

“A Curse?”

Jiang Yuan looked at the Old Monarch, who also frowned.

If it were the main body, then there would be no problem.

But now, he was restricted by the Skill Card’s limitations; let alone whether he could resolve it, even seeing it was a problem.

Seeing the Old Monarch also frown slightly, Jiang Yuan immediately felt a bit flustered.

“Should I surrender?”

Jiang Yuan thought of a good idea, but as soon as he spoke, Shi Ji, the Old Monarch, and Zhao Gongming beside him instantly widened their eyes.

“Uh, I mean, surrender first, then challenge him to get back the arena master position.”

“Five minutes should be enough to kill her.”

“I can guarantee that as soon as you surrender, the opponent will definitely find someone to take your place to challenge the arena master; at least until this checkpoint ends, you won’t be able to challenge the opponent.”

The Old Monarch shook his head slightly, and after speaking, he looked at Zhao Gongming beside him.

“Can ‘Eliminate Pestilence and Cut Malaria’ be used on Jiang Yuan?”

“That’s right, Eliminate Pestilence and Cut Malaria!”

As soon as the Old Monarch said this, Jiang Yuan suddenly realized.

“The appearance rate of your skill is too low, so low that I even forgot about it.” Jiang Yuan chuckled, patting Zhao Gongming’s shoulder, and said to Zhao Gongming.

“I almost forgot.”

Zhao Gongming also smiled, then put his hand on Jiang Yuan’s shoulder, “It can be used, after all, Mu Qianshan is the true main body.”

Saying that, Zhao Gongming activated the skill.

“How is it?”

A moment later, Jiang Yuan asked Zhao Gongming with some curiosity.

After all, he hadn’t felt anything special.

“It failed.”

The smile on Zhao Gongming’s face disappeared, “Either we’re worrying unnecessarily, or it’s not a Curse or negative effect.”
