82: civil war

“Hmph! Dammit!”

Jiang Lingyun was extremely displeased, but there was nothing she could do.

After all, the initiative was in the other party’s hands.

“I want your golden pagoda and that bottle that restores Star Power!”

After learning that Nezha was not for sale, Jiang Lingyun no longer hesitated and spoke directly to Jiang Yuan without politeness.

Jiang Yuan didn't mind; after all, he was a businessman.

There was no reason not to take on business that came knocking.

“For the Linglong Pagoda, do you want a one-time Skill Card or a regular Skill Card? The one-time Skill Card is cheaper.”

“Which one is yours?” Jiang Lingyun asked curiously.

“A Skill Card.”

Jiang Yuan said calmly, without blushing or his heart racing.

In a sense, his equipment card, the Linglong Pagoda, aside from its duration, was no different from the Skill Card Linglong Pagoda.

As for the one-time Skill Card Linglong Pagoda, because it was cheaper, it could not be commanded at will compared to the equipment card or the regular Skill Card Linglong Pagoda.

That is to say, the one-time Skill Card Linglong Pagoda lacked the active skill ‘Smash’.

It could only choose to trap someone or protect oneself for three minutes.

It could not be interrupted midway and would end immediately after three minutes.

Of course, it was truly cheap, only requiring one lower-grade star spirit stone.

However, despite saying this, Jiang Yuan didn't plan to sell many Skill Cards Linglong Pagoda.

He remembered very clearly how Nokia went bankrupt.

But, who told him he accidentally pressed Jiang Lingyun just now?

Since she brought it up, he would give her some convenience.

“Of course, it’s a Skill Card.”

Jiang Lingyun made her decision without hesitation, just as Jiang Yuan had expected.

“Oh, and the one that restores Star Power is also a Skill Card!” Jiang Lingyun said, taking out her phone.

“Let’s add each other as friends first.”

“Okay.”

Jiang Yuan, who was slightly socially anxious, quite liked Jiang Lingyun’s way of interacting, typical of someone with social exuberance.

After all, he didn't talk much.

After the two added each other as friends, Jiang Yuan took out two cards from his Backpack Card and handed them to Jiang Lingyun.

Jiang Lingyun looked at Jiang Yuan with a strange expression before taking the cards.

“I thought you would still need to make them, but it turns out you already had them ready.”

Before Jiang Yuan could nod, Jiang Lingyun looked at him with a mischievous smile: “Tell me, you didn’t take them out directly just now because you wanted to add me as a friend, didn’t you?”

“Huh?”

Jiang Yuan was stunned, a bit confused by Jiang Lingyun’s jumping thoughts.

“Haha, I’m not teasing you anymore, go win the championship! That way, I can say I was defeated by the champion!”

After Jiang Lingyun boldly patted Jiang Yuan’s shoulder, she laughed loudly and swung her golden ponytail as she left.

“This…”

Jiang Yuan’s expression was a bit strange: “Girl, I respect you as a true hero.”

After shaking his head, Jiang Yuan saw Mu Qianshan walking towards him.

“How was it?”

“Naturally, I successfully advanced.”

Mu Qianshan was smiling happily, and Zhou Dongshan, who had just finished his battle, was also smiling happily.

Although the process was a bit difficult, he ultimately succeeded in advancing.

Top fifty, this was something he couldn't even dream of before.

“How about you?”

“I naturally also successfully advanced.”

Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded, then chuckled helplessly: “But Nezha appeared.”

“Indeed, my combat talent is not very good.”

“Relax.”

Mu Qianshan patted Jiang Yuan’s shoulder reassuringly: “Look at all these people here; there are plenty of people without combat talent.”

What Mu Qianshan said was not wrong; although there were so many people here, not many could advance further into the academy.

Most people, if they didn't succeed, would either try their luck in the Dongtian or return to an ordinary life.

However, although Mu Qianshan said this to comfort him, Jiang Yuan was still a bit annoyed.

So what if he didn’t have combat talent!

Nezha was a Marshal of the Heavenly Realm; his combat talent was very high.

If not him, then there was Yang Jian, the God of War of the Heavenly Realm, Xing Tian, the God of War of the Witch Tribe, Chi You, the God of War of the Human Race, and so on.

Their combat talents were not bad either.

At the very least, they were more than enough to be stronger than Jiang Yuan.

In this situation, did it matter if he didn’t have combat talent?

It didn't matter; having the ability to protect himself was enough.

Jiang Yuan smiled, and soon, Zhou Dongshan, also with a smile, returned.

After the three gathered and rested for a while, the fifty-to-twenty-five competition began.

“So, we two are facing each other?”

Zhou Dongshan, who had just been smiling and looking pleased, immediately had a strange expression after glancing at the number on Jiang Yuan’s watch.

He had thought that the three of them might face off.

But he didn't expect to be the first to face Jiang Yuan.

If it were Mu Qianshan, he could put up a fight.

Nezha…

“How is it, are you alright?”

Mu Qianshan asked Zhou Dongshan with a suppressed laugh, showing concern.

However, Zhou Dongshan didn't care at all and quickly recovered.

“Hmph! I want to challenge Nezha!”

Zhou Dongshan finished speaking and looked at Jiang Yuan with a serious expression.

“I originally thought of surrendering, but it seems there’s no option to surrender in the martial test.”

“In that case, I choose to die standing!”

After Zhou Dongshan finished speaking, he walked towards the arena like a brave warrior going forth and never returning.

Jiang Yuan looked at Zhou Dongshan’s back, then turned to Mu Qianshan helplessly.

“I was originally planning to have a fight with him, but I didn’t expect him to call out Nezha by name.”

“Sigh!”

After shaking his head helplessly, Jiang Yuan followed behind Zhou Dongshan and walked towards the arena.

He had truly intended to go himself just now.

Because although Zhou Dongshan’s strength was great, his speed was relatively slow.

Furthermore, his attack methods were basically all close-combat attacks, so for Jiang Yuan, a Skill Card Master who could transfer, he was a good combat target.

But unfortunately, Zhou Dongshan specifically chose Nezha.

“Tsk tsk, Zhou Dongshan will cry when he finds out about this, won’t he?”

Mu Qianshan smacked his lips as he watched the two figures, then walked towards his own combat area.

Soon, the two were in position in the Martial Arts Arena.

Jiang Yuan didn't hesitate; after continuously using the three cards: Nezha, Jade Purification Bottle, and Fire Tipped Spear, the battle began.

“Mu Qianshan, this time we’re going to act righteously against our own kin, aren’t we?”

Nezha’s face was filled with excitement; after speaking, he didn't wait for Jiang Yuan’s reply and charged towards Zhou Dongshan with his spear.

“Just let me see if you’ve made any progress during this time!”

“Of course, I haven’t been idle during this time!”

The veins on Zhou Dongshan’s thick arms bulged as he raised the Thunder Hammer Axe in his hand and charged towards Nezha.
