83: Easier than Dream Tower
“Well met!”
Nezha laughed aloud, his Fire Tipped Spear swirling, striking the side of the Thunder Hammer Axe from behind, altering the direction of its force.
Zhou Dongshan’s strength, true to the bulk on his body, managed to halt the Thunder Hammer Axe just as it was about to hit the ground.
At the same time, Nezha’s Fire Tipped Spear tip swept over.
If it connected, Zhou Dongshan’s chest would at least be gashed open.
Just as the Fire Tipped Spear swept across Zhou Dongshan’s chest, the Purple Ribbon Garment shone brightly, blocking Nezha’s attack.
Zhou Dongshan glanced at the almost imperceptibly dim light on the Purple Ribbon Garment and was shocked.
No, it was supposed to be impervious to blades and spears!
Zhou Dongshan was startled; he had indeed not seen the information on Jiang Yuan’s purple flame serpent spear, so he naturally didn't know that the Fire Tipped Spear’s Skill, Autumn Frost, could ignore defensive Skills of the same quality and strength.
For example, the Purple Ribbon Garment, after its "Impervious to Blades and Spears" Skill was ignored, could only rely on its inherent defense to block.
But Zhou Dongshan didn't know that.
His confidence in challenging Nezha came from the "Impervious to Blades and Spears" of his Purple Ribbon Garment.
But now…
Zhou Dongshan’s heart instantly brightened, and lightning burst forth from the Thunder Hammer Axe in his hand, attempting to force Nezha back.
However, Nezha paid no heed to the lightning’s damage, thrusting straight again with his spear.
The Purple Ribbon Garment’s Energy flickered and instantly shattered, offering no obstruction to the Fire Tipped Spear.
Before Zhou Dongshan could react, the Fire Tipped Spear had already pierced his throat.
Combat ended!
Jiang Yuan was also somewhat surprised, not expecting the battle to end so quickly.
Indeed, when using heavy weapons, a strong defense is still necessary.
Otherwise, it would be like this: once the heavy weapon in hand is restricted, there would be no means to resist the agile Nezha.
Nezha was just about to reach up and smooth down his hair, which had been singed curly by the lightning, when the Martial Arts Arena ended the battle.
Because of the Martial Arts Arena’s characteristics, Nezha directly reverted to his Card form.
Jiang Yuan looked at the somewhat despondent Zhou Dongshan outside and pondered.
In myths and legends, there doesn’t seem to be any full body armor?
Or rather, no famous full body armor?
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yuan looked at Zhou Dongshan and asked.
“By the way, why didn’t you challenge me, but chose Nezha instead?”
“The Purple Ribbon Garment, isn’t it impervious to blades and spears…?”
Zhou Dongshan looked at Jiang Yuan with a hint of resentment.
It was supposed to be impervious to blades and spears!
It could even block sniper rifles, so why couldn’t it block the Fire Tipped Spear in your Nezha’s hand?
Hearing Zhou Dongshan say this, Jiang Yuan instantly found it amusing.
“So you challenged Nezha because of the Purple Ribbon Garment’s imperviousness to blades and spears?”
“Yes.”
After Zhou Dongshan nodded seriously, Jiang Yuan also started to laugh.
“No, that day when the Dongtian Simulation League ended, when Yu Xiaoxiao questioned me about why the Linglong Pagoda was broken, weren’t you present when I explained it to her?”
Jiang Yuan suddenly felt a bit strange; if he remembered correctly, Zhou Dongshan should have been there.
Furthermore, Zhou Dongshan should have watched with his own eyes as Nezha, holding the Fire Tipped Spear, broke the Linglong Pagoda.
He should have been very clear about it.
“Wasn’t it specifically made by you to counter the Linglong Pagoda?” Zhou Dongshan froze, looking at Jiang Yuan incredulously as he asked.
“I also said later that the Fire Tipped Spear has a Skill that ignores defensive Skills of the same quality and strength.”
Jiang Yuan looked at Zhou Dongshan with pity: “Weren’t you nearby at the time?”
“I was…”
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Dongshan fell silent.
He was indeed there at the time.
But he didn't pay attention to anything Jiang Yuan said afterward.
He was agonizing over why he had told the truth; he was on Jiang Yuan’s side!
Why couldn't his brain process things at that moment?
So at that time, he didn't pay attention to Jiang Yuan’s words at all.
He only knew that it was resolved later, and the Linglong Pagoda also became a bestseller.
“Tsk, how should I put it, it’s not your fault, just remember to grow ears next time.”
After patting Zhou Dongshan’s shoulder, Jiang Yuan also laughed and returned to his seat.
Jiang Yuan really hadn’t expected that Zhou Dongshan’s courage was due to not hearing important information.
Tsk tsk.
Zhou Dongshan was on the verge of tears, following behind Jiang Yuan dejectedly.
Nezha, he never wanted to challenge him again in this life!
“Just as we expected.”
Si Chenwen and several admissions teachers from top universities sat together on the stage, looking at the just-concluded round and discussing the twenty-five Students who had advanced.
“Indeed, the Students I just favored have basically all successfully advanced.”
Si Chenwen smiled happily; his judgment was still good.
However, that golden-haired Skill Card Master was eliminated because he ran into Nezha.
This was indeed an unexpected event.
Si Chenwen shook his head, looking at the young man holding two swords.
If anyone had a chance to win when fighting Nezha.
The young man holding two swords should have the highest probability.
After all, his battles also resolved opponents with overwhelming force.
Next would be the Mechanical Card Master, the young man holding a long spear, and the Archer Girl.
The Mechanical Card Master was a hexagon warrior, with impressive combat power.
The remaining two had good martial arts skills and a chance to spar with Nezha.
However, Si Chenwen didn't voice these thoughts, but instead looked at Jiang Yuan with a thoughtful expression.
What if he said it out loud and then got slapped in the face?
He really couldn't gauge the strength of Nezha, this Card Spirit.
He always felt like he still had reserves.
And, how are Summoning Cards made?
He was also half a Card Creator, but he couldn't even imagine how a Summoning Card could be made.
Should he say that his half-Card Creator status just couldn't compare to a professional?
Si Chenwen was puzzled, and behind him, Liu Shengshan and the other four started arguing again as they discussed.
They were all stating that they would report to their schools and offer Jiang Yuan better conditions!
However, the four of them were just talking.
Their positions in their respective schools were not low, and they were fully capable of making decisions.
The problem was what kind of conditions to offer.
The four old foxes were all using this method to probe each other’s conditions.
Blind bidding, that's the annoying part!
The stage was fiercely debated, and the battles below were about to begin.
Among the three-person team, besides Zhou Dongshan who was eliminated by Jiang Yuan, Mu Qianshan also successfully advanced.
“How do you feel?”
After glancing at the numbers appearing on the field, Jiang Yuan stood up, ready to go to the field.
“Hmm, Nezha said it’s easier to fight than the Dream Tower.”
Jiang Yuan smiled and said to Mu Qianshan.
However, he didn't say Nezha’s next sentence.
“It feels even easier than fighting that Dream Tower or whatever; at least I don’t have to worry about Mu Qianshan anymore.”
