"That makes sense. After all, such decisions should be made with great deliberation."
The venerable one nodded understandingly, then turned his gaze towards Nezha's battlefield.
As expected, the Ice Attribute Elemental Spirit Clan member was no match for Nezha, utterly suppressed by the Samadhi True Fire.
Borius was also panic-stricken at this moment, wondering why his ice could not breach the flames of the opponent.
Theoretically, even if he were up against a Fire Element Spirit Clan member one Great Realm higher than himself, their flames shouldn't be able to completely block his Ice Attribute attacks.
But the guy before him, or more accurately, the Summoning!
His flames were completely unaffected by Borius's Ice Attribute attacks.
Let alone piercing through the flames on the opponent, he couldn't even manage to lower the temperature of the flames!
Why!
They were supposed to be evenly matched in strength!
By now, Borius was beginning to feel desperate.
After all, he was a pure Ice Attribute Mage with no close combat capability whatsoever.
By the time he ran out of Skill Cards to block the opponent's moves, he would probably be killed here.
However.
Borius, looking at the flames engulfing his opponent, suddenly recalled a legend he had heard.
His grandfather told him that in the distant legends, there were energies more powerful than those of their own clan.
Perhaps, those strange flames on his opponent were just that kind of power.
As the last Skill Card "Frozen Body" in Borius's hand was used, he closed his eyes.
The moment the solid ice shattered would be his time of death.
No!
Wait a minute!
Borius suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the melting ice with a glint of joy in his heart.
It seems that being eliminated in this round does not equate to death!
Just eliminated!
That, I can accept!
In his excitement, Borius's despair disappeared, and his eyes also lit up with vibrance.
Even his gaze towards Jiang Yuan carried a hint of provocation.
Is this all?
Is this all?
What doesn't kill me, will only make me stronger!
With this thought, Borius began to act arrogantly.
Nezha looked at the ice lump across from him, bewildered as it suddenly melted away, and then the Summoning spread his hands and closed his eyes in a gesture of a noble sacrifice.
"Hm?"
Nezha, puzzled, tentatively thrust the Fire-tipped Spear forward.
The Fire-tipped Spear pierced through Borius's throat without any resistance.
Moments later, Borius vanished, and Nezha returned to Jiang Yuan's side with the Fire-tipped Spear, still confused.
"Did I encounter a fool?"
Nezha's voice rose, causing Jiang Yuan and Shi Ji to laugh.
"Knowing he couldn't beat you, he chose to die standing."
Jiang Yuan finished with a smile, and Nezha's eyes suddenly lit up: "Seems like my strength is indeed impressive."
"Bang."
Just as Nezha began to speak, the venerable one's horsetail whisk fell on his head.
"Just happened to be a counter."
The venerable one said with a smile, gently patting, and Nezha held his head and chuckled.
"Nevertheless, Nezha's strength is indeed formidable."
Zhao Gongming also spoke up in praise, and Jiang Yuan and Shi Ji beside him also smiled.
The battle had just ended when Jiang Yuan's vision blurred, and he found himself back in the vast hall.
Still alone.
But then again, the Time-Space Gate Temple did select evenly matched opponents for everyone.
Well, it doesn't really relate to Jiang Yuan.
Being unbeatable at his own level, he's already an outlier.
But this indicates something.
At the very least, they wouldn't finish their battles quite so easily.
Not like Jiang Yuan.
Sitting quietly on the ground, he began to ponder over what the venerable one had said.
The fifth... ah, the sixth Card Spirit should also be scheduled.
However, Jiang Yuan hadn't yet decided which kind.
One with the ability to fly?
Or a Mage type?
An Array type?
Or something else.
Jiang Yuan was indeed undecided.
Currently, with Nezha and Zhao Gongming, his Combat Power was sufficient.
As for Shi Ji, although he didn't have any large-scale Spell abilities, he's still somewhat of a Mage.
That area was barely covered.
As for flying types...
That would be a little difficult.
Perhaps he should consider a Golden Crow himself?
A headache indeed.
As the hall filled with more and more people, Jiang Yuan pulled himself out of his thoughts.
He'd have to see later.
In just a short while, people began to trickle back into the hall.
Another hundred-plus were eliminated in the seventh round, leaving a hundred more.
Two more rounds to go, and it was uncertain how Mu Qianshan was faring.
Whether he had been eliminated or not.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan looked up.
The next second, he saw Mu Qianshan in the crowd, excitedly waving at him.
Not eliminated, huh.
Jiang Yuan smiled, realizing that Mu Qianshan's strength wasn't weak either.
But what about later?
What if the next two rounds were elimination equals death?
Jiang Yuan frowned slightly but still waved at Mu Qianshan.
"What's up?"
Mu Qianshan, brimming with excitement, approached Jiang Yuan and eagerly asked.
It must be noted that the Human Clan remaining here were now few and far between.
However, even so, he was still one of the weaker ones among those left.
After all, the remaining Human Clan people were mostly of late Great Liang Realm strength.
And most were high-ranking contestants from the Academies.
Like Li Chengyi and Ai Xiu from Zhongyuan Academy.
Like Qi Lingfeng, ranked tenth in Daxia Academy.
