Jiang Yuan didn't pay much attention, as the power of the Qiankun Ring truly exceeded his expectations.
He had thought about smashing his opponent's Defense Equipment.
But he didn't expect that this attack would directly kill his opponent.
Jiang Yuan was slightly excited and continued to challenge the next opponent.
Ranked 414th, Gan Yongchao!
"Well, I received the challenge letter."
In the spectator stands, Gan Yongchao looked at his phone, showing the challenge sent by Jiang Yuan, and spoke to everyone with a helpless expression.
"Good luck, I believe in you."
Mu Qianshan smiled, but Gan Yongchao just smirked.
"Believe in me?"
"Hah!"
Gan Yongchao's face twisted fiercely, as he charged towards the arena with raging momentum.
Surrendering was absolutely impossible, he would never surrender in his lifetime!
Even if he couldn't win! He would still fight it out!
Besides, it wasn't certain that he would lose... that badly!
Thinking of this, Gan Yongchao's momentum somewhat faded.
"Ah?"
Jiang Yuan was startled for a moment, not expecting him to be among those watching the match.
Compared to Mu Qianshan who had attended classes for a few days and was familiar with many second-year students, Jiang Yuan hadn't attended a single class.
He only knew that Mu Qianshan knew people in the stands.
But he didn't know that they were second-year students.
"It's not just me, your next challenger is also here," Gan Yongchao said helplessly pointing towards the spectator stands.
"The next challenger?"
"Yes, ranked 361st, Gu Naihan," Gan Yongchao nodded.
Jiang Yuan chuckled upon seeing this scenario.
You haven't even entered the arena yet, and you've already determined you're going to lose.
It seems you are more confident about my winning than I am.
"Please."
After chuckling, Jiang Yuan invited Gan Yongchao into the Martial Arts Arena.
The Martial Arts Arena opened, and the countdown timer in the sky above the arena began.
As the countdown hit zero, both of them released their cards.
Jiang Yuan still used [Nezha], [Qiankun Ring], and [Jade Purifying Bottle].
Sweet Dew Water descended, and Nezha transformed into a Three-Headed Six-Armed form, throwing the Qiankun Ring.
"Block it!"
Gan Yongchao didn't manifest any weapon, but used a Defense Equipment Card and a Defense Skill Card.
After the two blue-quality cards appeared, Gan Yongchao also used a white-quality Star Power Recovery Card.
When the blue-quality Skill Card was activated, a golden round shield appeared in the sky.
The golden shield blocked the attack of the Qiankun Ring.
But in just an instant, the shield cracked and then dissipated as golden light particles fell.
The golden shield broke, and Gan Yongchao was hit by the Qiankun Ring.
Gan Yongchao was also wearing blue-quality Defense Equipment.
However, after blocking this attack from the Qiankun Ring, its glow dimmed to almost invisible.
"Damn, thankfully I didn't die."
Gan Yongchao breathed a sigh of relief, already faring much better than Zhou Hongfa who was swiftly killed earlier.
However, clearly, Gan Yongchao's aspirations were not limited to just surviving the initial attack.
After recovering his Star Power, Gan Yongchao used another blue-quality Defense Skill Card.
Though not a Skill Card Master, his collection of Skill Cards was not few.
Activating his blue-quality Defense Skill Card deployed a pale yellow shell-like glow surrounding him.
A blue-quality Skill [Repulsive Defense]!
However, this time Nezha did not use the Qiankun Ring to attack.
The subsequent attacks of the Qiankun Ring were substantial, but it was only during the first attack enhanced by [Qiankun's Strike], capable of dealing double damage, that it was strongest.
By not using the Qiankun Ring for attack, Jiang Yuan could also avoid revealing that the ring was most powerful only on its first attack.
Seeing Gan Yongchao block the first attack of the Qiankun Ring, Jiang Yuan sighed softly, then materialized the Fire-tipped Spear and Wind and Fire Wheel.
With Nezha in his Three-Headed Six-Armed form, wielding the Fire-tipped Spear and standing on the Wind and Fire Wheel, he charged towards Gan Yongchao.
The golden Qiankun Ring had transformed into a small bracelet held in one of Nezha's hands.
Now, in Nezha's six hands, four held two Fire-tipped Spears, with one holding a slightly enlarged Qiankun Ring, only leaving the last hand empty.
"Does that golden bracelet in his hand only have the power for a single attack?"
Seeing this scene, the spectators started speculating.
"So, as long as you block the first attack, then this weapon basically poses no threat afterward?"
The crowd began to discuss, something Jiang Yuan had not anticipated.
Unexpectedly, by not launching a second attack and just holding it in his hand, they guessed that the Qiankun Ring only had a single attack capability.
However, their guess was not exactly correct, as the Qiankun Ring did have more than one attacking ability, but only the first attack was the strongest.
Yet, it didn't really matter whether they guessed it or not.
"Even if it only has the capability of one attack, so what?"
"Your defensive skills and your Defense Equipment got crushed with one attack; can you then withstand Nezha's subsequent attacks?"
An individual ranked somewhere in the two hundreds among the second-year students coldly stated.
The crowd fell silent, indeed reflecting what he said.
Even with just one attack, after that one attack without any defense left, could they really withstand Nezha?
Or rather…
The crowd simultaneously turned their heads toward a bald guy.
The bald man's face darkened; he was the unlucky one who was the first to be eliminated by Jiang Yuan in the freshman assessment.
"A prior hardening would definitely be useful."
"But..."
The bald young man looked at the crowd: "You also saw how he defeated me, hardening didn't really work against him."
"I suspect he possesses a skill that can break through Defense Equipment."
"Similar to the superb skill of the Purple Mansion Sword in Mu Qianshan's hands, which has a chance of ignoring the opponent's armor?"
After Mu Qianshan's challenge ended, and as the crowd got familiar, they also roughly understood what capability Mu Qianshan's Purple Mansion Sword had to instantly kill an opponent.
