Upon hearing this wager, Dong Zimin, who had just stood up ready to teach Shi Zhuan a lesson, sat back down again.
In his view, Shi Zhuan definitely had a chance to win this wager.
If he were to win, he would obtain the production method and card of that silver-white Mecha.
With this in mind, Dong Zimin no longer cared about the embarrassment that Shi Zhuan had just brought to Daxia Academy and the Five-Colored Floating Armor.
How could embarrassment compare to tangible benefits?
"If you lose this match again, just you wait," Dong Zimin clenched his fist, his tone slightly excited.
Meanwhile, after Jiang Yuan left, Shi Zhuan began to size up the three Card Spirits in front of him.
Nezha, Zhao Gongming, and this woman in black attire.
Considering combat power, the woman in black, undoubtedly, seemed the weakest.
However, the problem was that her abilities were somewhat restrictive against his own.
Shi Zhuan stroked his chin, his gaze sweeping past Shi Ji.
She was indeed pretty, perhaps even more so than Zhan Youqing.
Especially that aloof aura she possessed—it was quite charming.
Regrettably, after witnessing her combat, she mainly utilized summoning techniques.
If he were wearing the Five-Colored Floating Tomb that increased its attack and defensive power with more enemies defeated, he would have chosen her without hesitation.
However, currently, he wore the Pale Floating Tomb. As a Mecha that was either strong in attack or defense, it wasn't quite effective against her mass horde tactics.
The attack mode might leave him vulnerable to sneak attacks from others.
Although the defense mode could withstand the endless undead bone tide.
His physical strength was ultimately limited.
And another crucial factor was his slowness.
If he had to contend with her summoned creatures on his way to close in on her, this match could drag on until his strength was drained before he could even reach her.
Thinking this, Shi Zhuan couldn't help shaking his head and then shifted his gaze to Nezha.
The memory of Nezha's terrifying three arrows still rattled him.
That was a force capable of breaking through the Pale Floating Tomb's defense mode.
With his current speed, choosing Nezha would likely yield no different result compared to his previous matchup with Jiang Yuan.
Shi Zhuan slightly shook his head again and turned his attention to Zhao Gongming.
He didn't know much about Zhao Gongming.
However, even the little he did know made it clear that Zhao Gongming also possessed the means to forcefully defeat his defense mode.
According to the replay of the fight he watched with Jiang Yuan, Zhao Gongming's attacks were likely penetrating.
Coupled with the concussive damage from bludgeoning weapons, even the strong defense of his Pale Floating Tomb wouldn't last long.
And in attack mode…
Shi Zhuan was indeed worried about being attacked by the enemy during a mode switch to offense.
But unknown to him, he had developed a psychological shadow.
After the battle with Zhan Youqing, he had grown averse to switching to attack mode, fearing being attacked while facing others.
However, Shi Zhuan was currently unaware of this, still unsure whom to challenge.
Until Jiang Yuan returned.
"Let's get going; it's our turn now."
Jiang Yuan smiled pleasantly, basing his calculations on Nezha's combat power.
Of course, it was Nezha with just a Fire-tipped Spear.
Zhao Gongming's power exceeded that of Nezha with only a Fire-tipped Spear by a significant margin.
And Shi Ji was between Zhao Gongming and Nezha with only a Fire-tipped Spear.
Yet even so, Nezha with just a Fire-tipped Spear was already capable of challenging higher ranks.
Ah, just a minor level difference.
And he seemed to do it with ease.
Judging by this combat power, neither Zhao Gongming nor Shi Ji would have any problems.
Especially when facing an opponent like Shi Zhuan, whose strengths and weaknesses were very defined.
Even more so, he used a blue-quality Star Power Light Ball for safety, raising his strength to mid-level Great Liang.
Shi Zhuan was only a minor level away from him.
Whether it was Nezha, Shi Ji, or Zhao Gongming, all were sufficient.
"Alright."
Though Shi Zhuan was still indecisive as he hadn't yet chosen his challenger,
With the arrow already nocked, he had no choice but to follow Jiang Yuan toward the arena.
Jiang Yuan glanced at Nezha and the others, then retracted them back into his consciousness space, returning them to their card form.
Given the Martial Arts Arena's unique properties, it was considered a different space.
Even if they remained outside, they would disappear when Jiang Yuan entered the Martial Arts Arena, reverting back to a card form and returning to Jiang Yuan's consciousness space.
After converting Nezha and the others back into card forms, Jiang Yuan proceeded toward the arena.
Shi Zhuan, following behind, was suddenly struck by a realization.
The white-bearded old man also vanished.
Together with Nezha and the others.
Did this mean that the white-bearded old man was also one of Jiang Yuan's Card Spirits?
A Card Spirit he hadn't seen before?
Shi Zhuan's mind started racing.
Either it was a Card Spirit made today, or one made earlier but without any combat ability, merely a support Card Spirit.
