In the fourth and fifth rounds of battle, Jiang Yuan still didn't encounter any particularly strong opponents.

They were basically all from the Second Sequence Race.

With the coordination of the Golden Crow and Shi Ji, they easily took down the opponents.

However, since this was a battle of the Chunhuo Middle Stage, starting from the sixth round, Jiang Yuan's opponents' strength also increased.

Although the sixth-round opponent was also just a participant from the Second Sequence Race, it was evident that he was different from the previous ones.

The Golden Crow and Shi Ji both went all out to finally take him down.

If Jiang Yuan were to say, this participant from the Second Sequence Race was slightly stronger than the Giant Troll Wizard from the First Sequence Clan previously encountered.

Of course, this referred to the difficulty, not combat power.

This guy, and perhaps all the contestants in these rounds, seemed to have a particular grudge against his archers.

Every time his archers appeared, they would be immediately destroyed.

Both Jiang Yuan and Shi Ji were a bit puzzled but didn't pay much attention to it.

It was in this battle that almost all of Shi Ji's combat abilities were exposed.

Both the skills [Fury] and [Soul Roar] were used.

Furthermore, when faced with the opponent's final strike, Shi Ji was also forced to use the Death Replacement ability, transferring the damage to a Bone Spirit Warrior with the Death Replacement Skill.

This successfully dodged the opponent's critical strike.

However, due to the presence of area skills in the arena, the sudden death of a Bone Spirit did not attract much attention.

Only a small portion of people noticed the sudden death of this Bone Spirit.

Among this small group, only a few linked the Bone Spirit's sudden death to Shi Ji's damage resistance.

Although some guessed it, not many did so.

Moreover, the information exchange between races was not very smooth, so even though Shi Ji's skills were exposed,

the detailed information about the skills was fully known only to Jiang Yuan.

Even though everyone's cards were kept confidential to outsiders.

However, even if all of Shi Ji's card information were exposed, it wouldn't matter much.

Just like Nezha, even if everything is exposed, what's meant to be unstoppable remains unstoppable.

As the tournament began the next day, Jiang Yuan once again faced a competitor from the First Sequence Clan.

"If I were you, I'd just commit suicide."

"Then you go ahead and do it."

Before the demon youth could finish his second sentence after his first statement, Jiang Yuan retorted.

The demon youth choked for a moment: "I mean you can never defeat me, it's better to die here than humiliate yourself."

"What a coincidence, I think that too."

Jiang Yuan remained unmoved, maintaining a calm expression as he spoke again.

The demon youth was a bit displeased. The pre-match trash talk was meant to hit the opponent's psychological state.

You're refusing to engage, what are you doing!

"It's useless. Whether it's the Golden Crow or Shi Ji, we already know their skills. I've prepared well; you can't defeat me!"

"Oh."

Jiang Yuan nodded, still calmly responding.

He found it a bit dull; the pre-match trash talk was always the same, lacking any creativity.

The taunting didn't hit the point.

Subconsciously shaking his head was interpreted as disdain by the demon youth.

The demon youth exploded instantly: "Ha, your Shi Ji's skill to slay the opponent needs the archer as a trigger!"

"By killing all the archers you summon, then taking down Shi Ji, the Golden Crow can't do much to me, just wait for your death!"

Looking at the countdown, the demon youth quickly spoke again.

This time, Jiang Yuan finally showed some expression.

A bit surprised but also amused.

It seems he understood why the previous opponents targeted his archers.

"Alright, as long as you're happy."

As Jiang Yuan finished speaking, the countdown in the arena ended.

The battle began!

Both sides simultaneously pulled out a Red Quality Card.

Compared to Jiang Yuan's previous opponent in the Late Stage of Chunshou.

The Chunhuo Middle Stage contestant now primarily had Red Quality cards.

Unlike the previous opponents from the Second Sequence Race, many of whom still possessed Purple Quality main battle cards.

As the red light shone in the arena, seeing the opponent wield a Magic Wand, Jiang Yuan understood why he was so confident.

"So you're a Skill Card Master too."

Jiang Yuan smiled, not concerned, feeling very secure within the Linglong Pagoda's range.

Next, it was left to Shi Ji and the Golden Crow.

Shi Ji and the Golden Crow appeared on the field, without any hesitation, Shi Ji immediately summoned twenty Bone Dragons and a dense army of Bone Spirit Soldiers.

Though dense, there were only about three thousand of them.

A thousand Bone Spirit Axemen, a thousand Gunmen, a thousand Bone Spirit Archers.

Upon learning why the opponent targeted his Bone Spirit Archers, Jiang Yuan also indicated to Shi Ji to enhance their combat power.

Rather than using them as mere tools for boosting effects as before.

As Shi Ji waved the Taia Sword, two layers of a gentle glow appeared on the three thousand Bone Spirit Soldiers.
