442: Mu Qianshan won the championship!

The Demon Race Student was startled, and with a flick of the strange long whip in his hand, he struck towards Mu Qianshan.

"Are you insane?"

"Don't you know that the side effects of pills can be carried out?"

"I know."

Mu Qianshan chuckled, blocking his opponent's attack with a sword: "But what if my pill has no side effects?"

"How is that possible? A pill that can increase strength without side effects? Who would believe that!"

With the Demon Race Student's roar, the two officially began their battle.

They had already entered the top fifty, and the opponent's strength was truly formidable.

If he faced an ordinary opponent, he could even challenge beyond his level.

However, all Students who could enter the top one hundred could achieve this level.

At the very least, challenging beyond their level was easy; after all, they were among the top one hundred out of so many people from all races at the same cultivation stage.

But the problem was, while he could challenge beyond his level against his opponent, his opponent could also challenge beyond their level, so the strength gap between them was still very small.

Just like Mu Qianshan and his opponent now.

After Mu Qianshan unleashed his full strength, even without relying on the Golden Crow, he could still suppress his opponent.

Mu Qianshan also roughly calculated the time.

Before the second Burst Star Pill wore off, he would most likely be able to successfully defeat this Demon Race fellow!

He wouldn't use the Golden Crow for now!

After Mu Qianshan made his decision, the seventh layer of Pure Yang Sword Art unfolded, and he launched a fierce assault against the Demon Race opponent.

The red quality Pure Yang Sword Art had a total of nine layers, but Mu Qianshan had only mastered seven layers at present.

But that was enough.

At least it was enough for the current battle.

As the seventh layer of Pure Yang Sword Art was unleashed, the sword qi released by Mu Qianshan was already turning pure gold.

As he expected, just five minutes after the battle began, a sword qi strike killed his opponent.

"The further we go, the more cautious they become."

Looking at the C-rank red quality Skill Card and B-rank red quality Skill Card in his hand, Mu Qianshan pouted unhappily.

Obviously, the former was the spoils of war taken from his opponent, while the latter was compensation given by the World Will.

"Be content. Not everyone is as confident as you."

"I actually hope I can meet a confident one."

Mu Qianshan smiled: "After all, the Golden Crow hasn't had a chance to appear yet."

"Then work hard. It should be about time for the next round." Jiang Yuan smiled, pointing to the two people on the screen.

"Both of them are very strong, and according to the teacher's analysis, they have a chance to win the championship."

"Oh?"

Mu Qianshan was a little surprised and leaned his head over to look at the battle on the screen.

The two parties battling on the screen were a Thunder Elemental Spirit Race member and a Demon Race member.

Their strength was indeed very formidable, and Mu Qianshan's expression grew solemn as he watched.

"The seventh layer of Pure Yang Sword Art probably won't be enough to defeat them."

Jiang Yuan smiled: "If you encounter either of them, you might have to use the Golden Crow."

"No big deal."

Mu Qianshan smiled: "I'm still very confident in the Golden Crow."

"And looking at them, they've probably already used their trump cards, so it'll be easier for me later."

"Indeed."

As Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan spoke, the battle in the arena quickly ended.

In the end, the Demon Race member was slightly superior, severely injuring himself to forcefully kill his opponent.

And most importantly, neither of them used pills.

"Interesting."

Mu Qianshan smiled: "It would be great if I could really encounter this Demon Race fellow in the next round."

"Putting everything else aside, I'll just take him down directly."

The two chatted for a while, and after Mu Qianshan sold some more pills, the next round of the competition finally began.

This round was twenty-five into thirteen.

Mu Qianshan still took pills as soon as he appeared, which made the people watching his match speechless.

"No way, why is this guy still like this?"

"Do the pills he takes have no side effects?"

"Good heavens, taking pills like this, he's really fighting with his life on the line."

"Is it possible that the pill he's taking really has no side effects?"

"How can there be a pill without side effects?"

"But look at him, does this pill look like it has side effects?"

"Hiss..."

Looking at Mu Qianshan, many Students from various races were already starting to believe.

This pill might really have no side effects.

Otherwise, he wouldn't take it every round.

Watching Mu Qianshan take the pill, boost his combat power, and then defeat his opponent again, everyone couldn't help but feel a bit indifferent.

It was normal; if he couldn't defeat his opponent after taking a pill, then he might as well quit.

"Speaking of which, the opponent in this round isn't very strong."

Mu Qianshan was a little disappointed: "I was ready to unleash the Golden Crow, but that's all my opponent had?"

Mu Qianshan shook his head slightly, but after this round, even more people came to ask him about the pills.

Among them, in addition to humans, there were also people from other races.

For example, the Eastern Dragon Clan, who had a good relationship with humans.

And also the Angel Clan.

Speaking of which, the Demon Race and the Devil Race were relatively close, and humans and the Angel Clan were also relatively close.

However, last time, due to Gloria, the Angel Clan and Jiang Yuan were in an adversarial relationship.

But it didn't matter. During the last Space-Time Gate Hall, Jiang Yuan was already prepared to fight all of them alone.

Whether they were in an adversarial relationship or not didn't really matter.

But this time was different. Although everyone had a competitive relationship, due to the World Will, it was a fair competition.

There was no need for hostility, and you didn't even know who your next opponent would be.

So the Angel Clan Student also came to inquire.

In fact, among them was an opponent Mu Qianshan might face in the next round or a few rounds later.

Mu Qianshan looked at the other party, his face darkened, but he still began to explain.

"This pill does have side effects, but as long as you don't take three or more, there are no side effects whatsoever."

As Mu Qianshan spoke, he also introduced the Burst Star Pill to everyone.

Everyone chose to believe Mu Qianshan, as the scene Mu Qianshan had just shown indeed looked like it had no side effects.

Not only did others buy them, but even that Angel Clan member, Mu Qianshan's potential future opponent, also shamelessly bought ten.

"Getting rich again?"

After seeing everyone leave, Li Yueying looked at Mu Qianshan with some envy and said.

Although the cards she made were also popular, they had never been as popular as Mu Qianshan's.

Moreover, these were pills.

"It's not me getting rich, it's..."

Mu Qianshan hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was already on the large screen in front of Jiang Yuan.

Mu Qianshan's battle was about to begin.

His luck this time, whether good or bad, was that he was facing the Demon Race member they had just talked about who had the potential to win the championship.

"Half-spoken."

Li Yueying was a bit disdainful, but this was the World Will's fault.

"Then I'll tell you the other half."

Jiang Yuan smiled: "He said I'm making money."

"Old Monarch?"

Li Yueying paused, then immediately reacted.

"Yes."

Seeing Jiang Yuan nod in acknowledgment, Li Yueying also felt quite envious.

"I wonder if I can kill an alchemist and then have him make money for me."

Li Yueying pouted: "Too bad, only our human race and a few friendly races have the alchemist profession."

Other races weren't without similar professions, but the problem was that while the professions were similar, whether the things they produced could be consumed by humans was another question.

Although the principles were the same.

However, the techniques were still somewhat different.

"I think we shouldn't try to create one." Jiang Yuan said, looking at Li Yueying's serious thoughtful expression, feeling a bit amused and frustrated.

"It's too difficult."

Li Yueying slumped onto the table in front of her, her face resting on her two 'meatballs', looking helpless.

"Then there's no way, but this alchemist is actually not necessary."

"That's true."

Li Yueying had just spoken halfway when she turned to look at the screen.

On the screen, there was a crimson expanse.

Jiang Yuan also turned to look, and seeing the crimson expanse on the screen, he immediately understood what had happened.

"I estimate Mu Qianshan felt the pressure, so he sent out the Golden Crow."

Jiang Yuan smiled: "Since the Golden Crow has appeared, there's basically no problem."

Putting everything else aside, the Golden Crow and Mu Qianshan were of equal strength, and with both of them attacking at the same time, it was equivalent to two against one.

And it was a righteous ganging up by two Students who had the ability to challenge beyond their level.

If they lost in this situation, it could only be said that the opponent was too strong.

The crimson on the screen quickly disappeared, and Mu Qianshan appeared in front of Jiang Yuan with an A-rank red quality Equipment Card.

"Ha, this reward is good. It seems that guy was quite confident."

Mu Qianshan smiled happily: "Although it can't compare to the Equipment Card in my hand, it's still pretty good."

"Is the championship secured?"

Jiang Yuan asked with a smile: "By the way, do you have enough pills?"

"It looks like it might not be enough, but I've already talked to Old Monarch."

Mu Qianshan also laughed: "The championship is hard to say, but it seems that among the remaining opponents, none of them are a match."

"It's good to have that confidence."

Jiang Yuan nodded and said no more.

Mu Qianshan's battles ended relatively quickly; every time his battle concluded, many other battles were still ongoing simultaneously.

After waiting a few days, Jiang Yuan also felt a bit bored.

But fortunately, today's Quail Head Middle Stage competition should be able to conclude.

It would be his turn tomorrow.

Speaking of which, should he also hide some of his strength like Mu Qianshan?

Let Shi Ji go first and see what happens.

If Shi Ji alone wasn't enough, then Nezha and Shi Ji would go together.

If Nezha and Shi Ji together weren't enough.

However, if even Nezha and Shi Ji weren't enough, it would most likely be time for the next level of battle.

For example, winning the championship in the Quail Head Late Stage battle and then challenging the Quail Fire Initial Stage battlefield.

This was still assuming he didn't make a move. If he did, then Zhao Gongming's appearance might be even later.

Or, let the Golden Crow's Shi Ji attack together first.

Among all his Card Spirits now, everyone's strength should be similar.

However, their areas of expertise were different.

Just like Nezha, a pure combatant, no doubt about it.

Shi Ji was a bit more support-oriented, but her attack power wasn't low, and she was more skilled in large-scale battlefield combat.

Zhao Gongming had the highest individual combat strength, and the Golden Crow was most satisfying for crushing weaker opponents.

As for Old Monarch, he was harder to see through.

Although he always claimed to be a non-combatant, his combat power should not be low.

The main problem was that Old Monarch seemed to have never revealed his true combat capabilities.

Jiang Yuan always felt that he was hiding something, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Mu Qianshan quickly reached the thirteen-into-seven competition.

One person got a bye, and the rest competed.

Adding the Students from the previous loser's bracket, the strongest one would be determined to enter the winner's bracket.

Thirteen into six, plus the one who got a bye, and one revived, making a total of eight people.

The quarterfinals began.

Although Mu Qianshan didn't get a bye, his opponents weren't very strong.

None were as strong as that Demon Race fellow.

Not only that, since the Golden Crow had already been exposed, Mu Qianshan no longer held back.

After Mu Qianshan appeared and took his pill, the Golden Crow appeared simultaneously.

One person, one bird, they quickly ended the battle.

"I wonder if the other human Student can make it to the quarterfinals."

After Mu Qianshan returned, he put away his spoils of war and looked at the battle between another human and an Angel Clan member on the big screen.

"Who knows."

As Jiang Yuan spoke, as if he suddenly thought of something, he turned to Mu Qianshan: "By the way, when was the champion from the previous round eliminated? I didn't notice him."

"It seems he was eliminated in the seventh or eighth round."

Mu Qianshan thought for a moment: "His strength was indeed good, but it wasn't very strong."

"I feel like he might not even be as good as me, at the same cultivation stage."

"Alright, then it's fine."

As Jiang Yuan spoke, the quarterfinals quickly began.

He was facing the Angel Clan Student who had just eliminated the other human.

Without any surprises, he still successfully advanced.

There was even less to say afterwards; the Demon Race Student who could have won the championship was eliminated. Looking at the strongest ones left, it was just this Angel Clan member and another Mechanical Race fellow.

After eliminating this Angel Clan member, he entered the semifinals.

In the semifinals, he battled a Giant Race Student, burning for over ten minutes before finally managing to defeat his opponent.

"His attack power isn't strong, his speed isn't fast, but his defense is truly disgusting!"

These were Mu Qianshan's original words.

The final battle was between Mu Qianshan and that Mechanical Race Student.

That Mechanical Race Student was wearing a golden mecha, looking incredibly flashy.

However, in no time, the Golden Crow's flames caused the mecha to lose its color.

Subsequently, the Mechanical Race fellow chose to take a pill.

After taking the pill, both his speed, strength, and defense were enhanced.

But it still couldn't pose much of a threat to Mu Qianshan and the Golden Crow.

Finally...

After eight minutes of fierce battle!

He successfully won the championship!
