367: Me in the mirror? I hit myself! (asking for monthly votes)

Nezha and Zhao Gongming killed quite quickly.

Generally, those with weaker strength, even Students of the First Sequence Race, couldn't last more than two moves against them.

Only those Students with stronger abilities could hold on for a bit longer.

For example, Lisandro of the Giant Demon Clan, Terrabelle of the Angel Clan, and Utinaki of the Demon Race.

However, even they couldn't last long against Nezha and Zhao Gongming.

The two Skill Cards from Ancient Capital Si Dan and Ancient Capital Site provided too strong an amplification to Nezha and Zhao Gongming.

Their strength was directly doubled, making it feel like even a Shi Shen Early Stage wouldn't necessarily be able to defeat Nezha and Zhao Gongming now.

It's just that Jiang Yuan still doesn't know why Nezha and Zhao Gongming's strength suddenly surged.

If he knew, then Ancient Capital Si Dan and Ancient Capital Site would be in even greater danger.

This kind of skill can totally be used!

Undead Enslavement doesn't result in death, unless Shi Ji sacrifices them to other Undead Enslavement.

But these are Undead Royal Family!

Even if Jiang Yuan went crazy, he wouldn't sacrifice Undead Royal Family to others.

However, if both sides were Undead Royal Family, then there would be no problem.

Shi Ji has ten Undead Enslavement slots, which is completely enough to bring in ten Undead Royal Family to amplify Nezha and Zhao Gongming.

Theoretically, Nezha and Zhao Gongming's physical strength can withstand more than three times that of ordinary people of the same level of strength.

"Why is this guy so strong?"

Seeing that the defensive equipment on her body couldn't withstand Nezha's attacks at all, Terrabelle gritted her teeth and asked in confusion.

"How the hell would I know?"

Utinaki, the genius of the Demon Race, who was forced to stand on the same front as the Angel Clan, was extremely annoyed at this moment.

Not only because the pressure from Nezha and Zhao Gongming was too great.

Another reason was Terrabelle next to him.

When did my Demon Race ever stand with the Angel Clan?

Forget about danger, there's no way there could be any benefit!

But you, Nezha, shameless as you are, to quickly eliminate us, you forced us together.

How can we even play this game?!

If it weren't for not wanting to die before the Angel Clan, Utinaki would have already stabbed himself.

Unfortunately, Nezha didn't give them that chance.

Feeling the power within his body, Nezha wielded his Fire Tipped Spear, and the two could only see a red blur before losing consciousness.

As the last two were eliminated, only five people remained in the arena.

Besides Jiang Yuan, Mu Qianshan, and Huang Huanqing, the remaining two were Undead.

One Undead Summoner was currently clutching his staff nervously, looking at Nezha.

The other was also Undead, but an Amplification Card Master.

As for why it was those two?

Because their strength wasn't very strong.

Just an Amplification Card Master of the Undead.

As for the Undead Summoner of the Undead?

It was purely because Mu Qianshan was still hidden among the skeleton soldiers, which was why he wasn't eliminated.

No one knows what the ninth stage will be like, so instead of leaving two powerful ones, it's better to leave two weaker ones.

This way, it will be easier to control once the ninth stage begins.

Jiang Yuan hadn't thought of eliminating the two guys from the Angel Clan and the Demon Race after they were defeated, and then, before the rules of the Space-Time Gate Hall reacted, directly eliminating these two Undead as well, leaving only their group of three.

However, unfortunately, the moment Utinaki died, the rules of the Space-Time Gate Hall took effect.

Nezha and Zhao Gongming were also unable to attack the remaining two Undead.

Helplessly, they had to give up.

The eighth stage ended, and as Jiang Yuan returned to the main hall, the hall was once again empty, with only the five of them remaining.

"Eighth stage rewards have been issued."

A mechanical voice sounded, and this time, many things did not appear in front of everyone; it was just a Backpack Card.

The five people almost simultaneously reached out and took the Backpack Card, then looked at the contents inside.

Without a doubt, it was the reward for the eighth stage.

Although they knew that the Space-Time Gate Hall would definitely issue rewards to them and there would be no missing ones.

They still chose to take a look.

It was an instinct, the kind that couldn't be refused.

After Jiang Yuan put away the Backpack Card, he smiled at the remaining two Undead guys.

If they understood the rules, then he would let them off the hook later.

If they didn't...

It didn't matter anyway; everything would be his in the end.

Jiang Yuan had a smile on his face, while the two Undead guys just looked at him cautiously and took a step back.

Jiang Yuan's face darkened, and he no longer bothered with them, turning instead to look at the contents of his Backpack Card.

I gave you a chance, but you're useless.

Inside the Backpack Card was a red quality heavenly material and earthly treasure, but Jiang Yuan didn't know exactly what it was.

He would find Old Monarch to take a look after it was over.

As for the other red card, Jiang Yuan saw it clearly.

A red quality Skill Card!

Not a one-time Skill Card!

Jiang Yuan's eyes widened, a little excited.

Should it be said that it was indeed the reward for the eighth stage?

You know, the rewards for the previous stages were basically all one-time Skill Cards and the like.

But this time, it was a Skill Card, and it wasn't a one-time use!

Jiang Yuan looked at the card's information, and his heart also became a little excited.

It was just what he needed.

He didn't even need to sell it; it was perfect for upgrading Zhao Gongming.

Speaking of which, Nezha and Zhao Gongming's cards were also almost ready to be upgraded in quality.

Hmm, it should be about time when I break through to the Seventh... Eighth Realm, right?

Although red quality cards are relatively rare, after such a long time, I should have enough red quality cards to upgrade them, right?

It's just...

Tsk, and weapons!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan instantly felt a headache coming on.

Nezha still had so many weapons, not to mention those that hadn't been made yet, even those that had been made would consume a lot of red quality cards to upgrade their quality!

Could he still afford to support them?

And after Nezha is upgraded to red quality, he still needs to be fed red quality heavenly material and earthly treasure to activate the [Lingzhu Reincarnation] skill.

He was truly a money pit!

Jiang Yuan instantly felt tired; he would have to work hard to earn money again.

But thankfully, he had Jiang Yuan No. 2 and Old Monarch.

One makes cards, the other refines pills, so they could be considered good at making money.

It's just that Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, can't directly conjure money.

Life is not easy, Jiang Yuan sighed.

Jiang Yuan sighed, but Mu Qianshan beside him didn't notice this scene.

At this moment, he was excited, and also in a panic.

Excited that he, with his strength, could reach the ninth stage.

Although Jiang Yuan helped him later, he did the previous parts himself.

And the fear, of course, was also because of the ninth stage.

The ninth stage was the most difficult stage of the Space-Time Gate Hall.

What if elimination meant death?

However, Mu Qianshan wasn't overly afraid; aside from being a bit reluctant to let go of Jiang Yuan's business, death wasn't that terrifying.

He had already prepared himself mentally for this since the day he embarked on the path of cultivation.

The hall was quiet, and no one had any intention of speaking.

Although they had already passed the eighth stage, they were still nervous about the ninth stage.

Nervous about the elimination rules of the ninth stage?

Would elimination simply mean being eliminated, or would it mean death?

After a moment of silence, the mechanical voice once again resounded through the empty hall.

"Ninth Stage, My Reflection!"

"Defeat yourself, the loser is eliminated!"

"Ninth Stage Rewards: Two red quality heavenly material and earthly treasure, three red quality cards, five purple quality heavenly material and earthly treasure, fifty purple quality cards, one purple quality pill recipe, and the crafting method for a purple quality equipment card."

The rewards were generous, so generous that the ninth stage was about to begin, and everyone hadn't reacted yet.

The five people present, including Jiang Yuan, had not expected the rewards for the ninth stage to be so abundant.

Although they had already prepared themselves mentally, these rewards still greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.

"Good heavens!"

"We're rich!"

The Undead Summoner couldn't suppress his joy after hearing these rewards.

If the current situation didn't forbid it, he really wanted to go up and hug Jiang Yuan and take a bite.

They were both men, what was there to be afraid of!

Charge forward, man!

You know, if it weren't for Jiang Yuan, for example, whether he would know about the rewards for this ninth stage, even the rewards for the eighth stage, he wouldn't have been able to get them.

This is truly...

He got incredibly lucky!

The two Undead, or rather, all five people present, were extremely excited.

So excited that they forgot about the difficulty of the ninth stage.

The Space-Time Gate Hall didn't give everyone more time to be excited; in a flash, the next second, the five people appeared in a small space.

The five people were separated, appearing in five small spaces.

Opposite the space was a mirror.

"Get ready, the battle is about to begin."

The mechanical voice sounded again, and Jiang Yuan also looked up.

But the next second, he saw a person exactly like himself appear in the mirror!

It was just that the "Jiang Yuan" opposite was expressionless, with empty eyes.

It was like...

A puppet?

Before Jiang Yuan could think further, five purple quality cards appeared in the Mirror Jiang Yuan's hand.

Jiang Yuan was stunned, realizing that the battle had begun, and cards also appeared in his hand.

Purple light shone in the arena, and in just the blink of an eye, eight more people appeared in the arena.

"What's going on?"

Looking at the Mirror Nezha opposite, who was exactly like him and fully armed, Nezha also asked in surprise.

"Man in the mirror, I'm fighting myself."

Jiang Yuan's expression was also solemn; the opponent had actually summoned Nezha and Zhao Gongming as well?

Looking at the two golden small pagodas on top of the Mirror Jiang Yuan's head, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but feel a headache.

He knew himself best.

He clearly knew how troublesome he was.

However, compared to Nezha and Jiang Yuan's solemnity, Old Monarch was relatively relaxed.

The Old Monarch opposite was just a body; he didn't have his own abilities at all.

Forget about the Four Symbols Formation, he might not even be able to conjure the Taiji Diagram.

It's just that this Space-Time Gate Hall is really good; it can even create us.

Old Monarch looked at the Mirror Jiang Yuan opposite and nodded with some satisfaction.

Fighting oneself was indeed a good idea.

Compared to Nezha's surprise and Old Monarch's calmness, Shi Ji and Zhao Gongming were more composed.

If the opponent was themselves, then it would be a bit troublesome.

"What do you say?"

Shi Ji looked at Jiang Yuan and asked softly.

"It's easy, but we need to confirm one thing first."

Although Jiang Yuan's expression was still solemn, he already had an idea in his mind.

The mirrored person copied by the opponent should only have the cards in their consciousness space.

Moreover, some cards should also be unusable.

For example, the [Seventy-Two Transformations - Summoning Immortals] card.

Hmm, this card has been disabled.

The first moment he faced Mirror Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yuan had already thought of this card.

This card was probably only usable by himself; the opponent couldn't use it.

This was a variable; if his luck was good, then he could pass this battle very easily.

But the problem was that Jiang Yuan tried to use it, but he didn't succeed.

In other words, this card was disabled.

However, looking at the opponent, it seemed that they could only use cards that they had already used.

In other words, the cards in their consciousness space.

What about the cards in his Backpack Card?

Can they be used?

After using them, will the opponent also be able to use them?

If it's just a one-time Skill Card, after he uses it, can the opponent still use it?

All of this needs to be verified in the subsequent battle.

However, first, Nezha and Zhao Gongming must be eliminated!

And then Old Monarch and Shi Ji.

Especially Nezha, the [Autumn Frost] skill of his Fire Tipped Spear poses too great a threat to the Linglong Pagoda.

However, he just doesn't know how it will affect the Linglong Pagoda.

Theoretically, the Linglong Pagoda's defense should not be a skill-generated defense, but the defense of the equipment itself.

That skill is purely an explanation: defense is offset by Star Power.

If there is no Star Power to offset it, this is its inherent defense.

However, this shouldn't be considered a skill.

After all, if the Fire Tipped Spear attacks the Linglong Pagoda, it will also reduce Star Power.

Let's try it together later.

Just to see if the Fire Tipped Spear can break through the Linglong Pagoda or not.

If it can break through, then it's a skill.

If it can't break through, then it's an inherent characteristic of the Linglong Pagoda itself.

As Jiang Yuan's voice sounded, Mirror Jiang Yuan also launched an attack on them.

It could be said that Mirror Jiang Yuan understood "himself" quite well, directly commanding Mirror Nezha and the others to attack Nezha.

Mirror Nezha and Zhao Gongming, along with Old Monarch and Shi Ji, all directly attacked Nezha.

This scene made Nezha's heart skip a beat.

Mirror Nezha's strength was not weak either.

The Huntian Ribbon unfolded, blocking the thrown Qiankun Circle and the incoming Zhentian Arrow, while also blocking Zhao Gongming's lightning attack and Old Monarch's yin and yang qi.

However, Shi Ji's attack was more annoying; without a physical form, the Huntian Ribbon couldn't block it, so he could only use [Samadhi True Fire] to counter it.

While Nezha was being attacked, Zhao Gongming and Shi Ji also launched their attacks.
