At this moment, everyone present was pondering how to defeat Jiang Yuan.
Especially under the circumstances of the same level.
If one currently possesses the strength of a Seventh Realm Chunshou, then there would be no need to consider all this.
Unfortunately, that is not the case, so one can only think of ways to defeat Jiang Yuan.
Otherwise, being defeated and trampled on by Jiang Yuan is a fate that awaits oneself.
People were contemplating, and some ideas were emerging in their hearts.
However, these ideas would still need to be tested in a battle against Jiang Yuan to see if they are viable.
Jiang Yuan had just sat down for a moment when a smile appeared on his face.
He successfully made a reservation.
However, his opponent did not seem to be in this venue, and it would take about two or three minutes before they arrived.
Jiang Yuan looked up at the ongoing battle in the center of the arena. The person currently fighting had just broken through to the Sixth Realm.
Jiang Yuan had a bit of recollection of him; he should rank around one hundred on the fifth-year students' power ranking.
Having just advanced, he was challenging a sixth-year student ranked at the bottom of their list.
It was uncertain who would emerge victorious in the end.
The battle of the Sixth Realm was over quite swiftly, and it wasn't long before the fight between the two ended.
In the end, it was the newly advanced student who claimed the final victory.
Just right, Jiang Yuan's opponent had also arrived, and the two of them went straight onto the field.
This time, the opponent had no skills like Shadow Duel, so Jiang Yuan did not make a move, and Nezha quickly speared the opponent away in just a short while.
After achieving victory, Jiang Yuan had no intention of leaving.
His goal was to rise to the first place on the rankings list within three days, which, considering over three thousand people, would mean fighting nearly a hundred battles.
After reaching the top one hundred, one could choose to fight anyone within the top fifty.
But once within the top one hundred, one could only challenge ten places ahead at a time.
Plus, due to various reasons, it wasn't always possible to challenge the very edge within fifty or ten places, hence the need for some margin for error.
However, assuming each battle takes about three minutes, three days is ample time to finish a hundred battles.
And that's only considering when the arena is being used by others.
"Jeez, he's not planning on leaving?"
"Probably aiming for a higher rank."
"That's true. After all, the rewards for the sixth-year rankings can be claimed in two days."
"Speaking of which, didn't he experience the nine tones of the Time-Space Gate Temple? I heard the rewards from the Time-Space Gate Temple are really good, could he still care about the Academy's rewards?"
"Why wouldn't he care? Even the smallest mosquito is still meat."
"Besides, who says he passed the ninth level?"
The person who said this laughed and spread his hands, while another person beside him also laughed.
"Indeed, after all, the reward for passing the ninth level is probably more than the sum of the first place rewards from the sixth-year ranking for a year or two."
"Right, if he successfully passed the ninth level, would he care about these rewards?"
During the conversation, people around them burst into laughter and began posting on the school's official web forum.
"Recently advanced, previous number one talent in our age group, how high can he climb in our sixth-year ranking?"
As soon as the post was up, comments flooded in incessantly.
"Probably around two thousandth, after all, almost everyone within the top two thousand has mid-stage Sixth Realm strength."
"Maybe he can challenge beyond his level. I bet on 2500 (smirk)."
"After all, he was once the top talent. Let's give him some respect, I bet on two thousand as well!"
"Hahaha, the top talent? How is the last top talent ranked now? Has he entered the top two thousand?"
"Nonsense, of course, he has, now ranked 1998, okay?"
"Top talent? Who isn't a talent, too bad though, the reality of the Great Liang is ultimately not the same world."
"Exactly, especially the top five hundred of the sixth-year rankings, you never know what cards they might have in their hands."
"These yet-to-breakthrough folks can only increase their combat power by adding the quantity and types of cards they have, and with their example, those below naturally follow suit. Now the depth of the sixth-year rankings is truly profound!"
"Breaking into the top two thousand is quite good. The rewards from two thousand to twenty-five hundred are acceptable too, though they can't compare to the Time-Space Gate Temple, especially the nine-tone Time-Space Gate Temple."
[Can't be, right? No one actually believes he can get through the ninth level, do they?]
[That's the nine bells Time-Space Gate Temple, not so easy to get through.]
[Getting through six bells is already tough, nine bells? Tsk tsk.]
[I'm definitely going to watch it, anyone wants to come together?]
[Let's go together, as a group.]

Jiang Yuan was unaware of the situation on the Academy's official website because at this moment, he was resting his chin in his hand, watching Nezha excitedly impale another opponent with a spear.
"After winning this, my ranking has reached 2837. I should still have enough time."
After exchanging pleasantries with the defeated, Jiang Yuan returned to his seat in the spectator stands.
The one who had just been bested by Nezha was still in shock.
My own prized skill, inferior to his?
Truly a blow to one's fighting spirit!
"It seems like the number of spectators has increased vastly."
After scheduling his next opponent, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but raise his head and glance around upon hearing the noisy chatter.
The spectator stands were nearly full at this point, yet people were still coming in at the entrance.
Jiang Yuan took a look and then stopped paying attention, waiting for his opponent to arrive.
At this moment, his opponent was purchasing cards outside.
He had been watching from the spectator stands as Jiang Yuan took down one opponent after another.
After making some rough calculations, he assumed that Jiang Yuan might choose him as an opponent, so he promptly stepped out to buy cards.
Firstly, a "Shadow Duel" card was essential.
Wanting to defeat Jiang Yuan without this card is simply impossible.
Or rather, such a type of card is needed to restrict Nezha and Zhao Gongming from launching attacks on himself.
Otherwise, there's no way to get through Nezha and Zhao Gongming's offense.
Another necessity was a card capable of ignoring skills from Defense Equipment, to penetrate the defense of Linglong Tower and hit Jiang Yuan.
With these two cards, there was a possibility to defeat Jiang Yuan.
Yet to conquer Jiang Yuan, one more card was necessary.
After all, Jiang Yuan's current combat strength was not weak, and if he couldn't break through his attack, then defeating him would be impossible.
"Need a Skill Card that's immune to Thunder Attribute damage?"
Mu Qianshan chuckled: "Then you've come to the right place, I have exactly the card you need."
"You know, I'm a card supplier. It's not from the Seventy-two Changes Series, but a card I obtained by chance."
"Just so you know, this card originated from the Time-Space Gate Temple."
"How much?"
"Let's see your offer. Not to exaggerate, but my Thunder Spirit Body card has a particularly long duration—it lasts up to forty seconds, making it incredibly useful against opponents proficient in Thunder Attribute skills."
"That's a bit too little, don't you think?"
"We can add a bit more. Never mind, let's make friends. My cards are always of high quality and competitively priced, plus I have exclusive ones, like from the Seventy-two Changes Series. Do take care of my business in the future."
"Alright, alright, sure thing. I'll send someone to deliver it to you now."
After hanging up the call, Mu Qianshan's face also revealed a hint of a smile.
The sale price of one Purple Quality Card was nearly equivalent to a Purple Quality heavenly treasure.
And it's just a B-grade card at that—clearly essential.
Mu Qianshan smiled happily, and on the other end, Wan Wenyi who had completed his card purchase also quickly arrived at the Martial Arts Arena.
There was no battle in progress at the moment, so as soon as he arrived, the fight could begin immediately.
Wan Wenyi looked at Jiang Yuan with a gleeful smile, confident that with the three cards he had prepared, he would undoubtedly defeat Jiang Yuan in this battle.
After all, his own traits provided him with a significant boost.
As long as he could break through the opponent's turtle shell, the victory would be his!
