As the battle continued, Jiang Yuan quickly made his way into the top hundred.

With his late-stage Chunshou strength, he broke into the top hundred of early-stage Chunhuo.

And he seemed to be doing it with ease.

This made everyone watching Jiang Yuan's battle turn sour in their expressions.

Shi Ji, who once dominated the late-stage Chunshou battlefield, hadn't made a move since she entered the early-stage Chunhuo battles.

The victory had mostly been seized by the Golden Crow.

Was Shi Ji falling behind?

How could that be possible!

No one ever doubted Shi Ji's might; her strength was there for all to witness.

So, the reason for her absence in the early-stage Chunhuo battles was pretty simple.

It was because the Golden Crow alone was enough to settle the fights!

No need for her to intervene!

After all, up to now, nobody has figured out how Shi Ji's fist clenching, execution-type Skill is triggered.

The number of battles in the late-stage Chunshou were too few to give anything away.

And Shi Ji barely took action in the early Chunhuo encounters.

Naturally, they were left clueless.

In the arena, as the battle for the top hundred began, Jiang Yuan's opponent also appeared before the crowd.

"Steady!"

That was the shared reaction of almost everyone on the plain when they saw Jiang Yuan's opponent, unable to suppress a smile.

If there was anyone in the early-stage Chunhuo battlefield who could stop Jiang Yuan's winning streak,

it would undoubtedly be him!

Claude from the Angel Clan!

He was considered the most likely to win before Jiang Yuan's meteoric rise in the early-stage Chunhuo battles.

After watching Jiang Yuan's battles, if anyone could defeat Jiang Yuan, it could only be him!

Not only was his strength greater than Jiang Yuan's, but his traits were also a counter to Jiang Yuan.

"Although I hate to admit the strength of that Human Clan contestant, I have to say, this battle is the final!"

"It's undeniable that whoever wins this battle will take the championship of this round!"

"Finally, someone can put Jiang Yuan in his place!"

"To tell the truth, I've been irked by Jiang Yuan, but I'm sure I won't be the one facing him."

A middle-aged Demon Race sneered in the mid-stage Chunhuo: "Even if Jiang Yuan wins the early-stage Chunhuo championship, he wouldn't have the guts to keep challenging higher levels!"

"If he dares to continue advancing and runs into me..."

"Humph, I'll show him why the flowers are so red!"

The middle-aged Demon Race made his remarks, turning his gaze toward a displeased Human Clan individual who had overheard him.

"You've been listening for so long, get back to Jiang Yuan and tell him, Tai Shi Xingchen is waiting for him in the mid-stage Chunhuo battlefield!"

He said, laughing before the Human Clan youth could reply, confident that they would never meet because Jiang Yuan wouldn't get past the next challenge.

Tai Shi Xingchen laughed heartily, and the surrounding Demon Race joined in.

"Just you?"

Yan Fenghua sneered, "I say, the finals for the mid-stage Chunhuo will definitely be an internal battle among the Human Clan!"

"The mere Demon Race?"

"They're not worthy!"

Yan Fenghua's words were cutting, and with just a few sentences, some from the Demon Race were seething with rage.

However, no battles were allowed on the Giant Stone Plain, so their anger could not be acted upon.

"You..."

"I'm also of mid-stage Chunhuo strength."

Before Tai Shi Xingchen could finish speaking, Yan Fenghua interrupted, stating boldly.

"You should pray you don't run into me; otherwise, I'll show you how worthless your Demon Race really is!"

Another provoking statement turned the faces of other Demon Race contestants, including Tai Shi Xingchen's, beet red.

"Wait and see, you Human Clan brat. We'll settle this on the battlefield. I hope you're as tough as your mouth!"

"Rest assured, I'm tougher than your mouth could ever be."

The skirmish between the Human Clan and the Demon Race on the Giant Stone Plain was just a minor incident.

Such incidents happened almost daily, so they were largely ignored.

What they were more concerned with was the battle between Jiang Yuan and Claude on the field.

Claude's strength was formidable.

"The Angel Clan's him choosing to become a Mecha Card Master, and donning a Red Quality Demon Mecha at that."

"A Mecha made from the body materials of the Demon Clan."

Looking at Claude opposite him, Jiang Yuan recalled what Li Yueying had told him.

If there was one person he needed to be wary of in the early-stage Chunhuo battles, it definitely had to be Claude.

The Demon Armor he wore was a very precious set designed specifically for combat against the Demon Clan.

The Armor had immense defensive power, capable of absorbing twenty percent of impact damage.

Whether from physical or magical attacks, it was the same.

Once accumulated to a certain extent, it could return all the damage received.

Additionally, the Demon Armor's offensive capability was also quite high.

It was particularly adept at burst attacks.

Indeed, countering this Armor was simple in theory—just break through it in one fell swoop.

Just like his own Linglong Pagoda.

Continuous attacks would only nourish the Armor, allowing it to unleash even greater, more intense attacks.

However, the problem lay in the Armor's terrifying defensive power.

Moreover, Golden Crow's expertise was in sustained attacks.

Hence, they were all excited seeing Jiang Yuan face Claude.
