Poor in Literature, Wealthy in Martial Arts!
This is an era of Martial Arts, so those who can enroll in top academies like Zhongyuan Academy are all either rich second generations or come from family inheritances.
They naturally have an abundance of Star Spirit Stones.
Of course, most of them are also not lacking at present.
Money can pave the way to stronger Combat Power in the early stages,
especially since you are already using blue quality Skill Cards when others are still using white quality ones.
That's the advantage.
No one wants to give up this kind of advantage.
But as time goes on, the increase in Combat Power brought by money becomes less significant.
Because in the later stages, talent and effort are more important than money.
Everyone has Combat Power; venturing into Grotto Heaven will naturally earn them money.
Sure, it is dangerous!
But a student who constantly trains in various Grotto Heavens and faces life and death, compared to a student who grows up in a greenhouse and paves their way with money, will undoubtedly have different Combat Power.
Though many families have now realized this point,
even their direct lineages need to train in Grotto Heaven.
As to whether they might die?
Dying sooner or later doesn't make much of a difference.
But even so, when facing those geniuses who have fought their way up, they are still slightly inferior in real Combat Power.
Both freshman and sophomore students are still in the early stages now.
They have plenty of Star Spirit Stones to spare at the moment.
After all, how much would a blue-quality card cost in terms of Star Spirit Stones?
So when Jiang Yuan suggested that Star Spirit Stones could replace Cultivation Resources, the sophomores quickly pooled their resources together.
After a rough calculation,
the amount of Mid-grade Star Spirit Stones equivalent to a 60% increase in Cultivation Resources for sophomores was about one hundred.
If converted to Low Grade Star Spirit Stones, it would be approximately ten thousand.
It's not a lot.
But for Jiang Yuan right now, it's definitely big money!
He had exhausted all those Cultivation Resources in the past month.
Of course, a large part of it was spent on card-making.
The rest was used for cultivation and improving spiritual power and physical strength.
However, the share of the sophomores was just a drop in the bucket.
Cultivation Resources at the level of fourth and fifth-year students would be much better.
But for now, these are better than nothing.
Although Jiang Yuan is at some loss comparing his Cultivation Resources to their use of Star Spirit Stones,
it doesn't matter, Jiang Yuan believes he will not lose.
"I've already collected the Star Spirit Stones, when will the duel take place?"
Facing the reply from sophomore Erin Mountain, Shi Ji just looked at it without any rush to respond.
Turning his head to look at Jiang Yuan, who by now had already started cultivating in the Gathering Star Array.
It now depends on whether Jiang Yuan can breakthrough successfully.
If Jiang Yuan breaks through, they can fight tomorrow.
If Jiang Yuan doesn't breakthrough today, then they'll wait two more days.
After all, I'm a Card Maker.
Shi Ji smiled slightly and sat down on the couch nearby.
Jiang Yuan didn't see this, but if he had, he couldn't help but have a nosebleed.
Shi Ji's look was too tempting.
Seems like she's learned dressing from master Li Yueying.
Her lower body was clad in a black pencil skirt, and her partially exposed thighs as she lay sideways on the couch were very enticing.
Her bare feet stacked together, Jiang Yuan would definitely blurt out a word if he saw this.
Wearing a white shirt, you just can't block that soaring curve.
However, Jiang Yuan currently immersed in cultivation obviously had no such luck to see.
…
…
"Let's meet at the Martial Arts Arena this afternoon then."
The next morning, Shi Ji replied to the challenge message.
Jiang Yuan's guess was correct; he had indeed broken through to the early stage of Xuanxiao realm after last night's cultivation.
"Let's give them a surprise this time."
Jiang Yuan stretched and looked at Shi Ji with a smile.
"Sure, I've already arranged with Nezha; I'll lead the charge first, and Nezha will be our trump card."
"You're leading? Isn't it supposed to be Nezha? After all, Nezha has already been exposed."
"It's okay, I watched many combat videos of the second-year students last night, and I feel that I can break through the last 500 ranks."
Shi Ji smiled gently, but the sharpness in her eyes couldn't escape Jiang Yuan's notice.
That's right, after all, Shi Ji is a Demon Immortal.
This fits her character precisely.
Jiang Yuan chuckled, to be honest, he had always been misled by Shi Ji's gentle appearance.
He even thought there was a problem with his card making.
But it seems Shi Ji is still that Shi Ji.
Gentle only towards me, huh? Not bad.
Jiang Yuan smiled happily and extended his hand towards Shi Ji, "Let's go together."
"Okay."
Shi Ji smiled and also extended her hand.
Jiang Yuan looked somewhat excitedly as Shi Ji's hand reached towards his.
Is the hand-holding going to be successful?
"Slap!"
With a gentle slap, Shi Ji playfully knocked away Jiang Yuan's hand and walked towards the door laughing.
"Oh, you're such a tease!"
Jiang Yuan, not sure whether to feel disappointed or resigned, followed Shi Ji's steps.
"The challenge is starting soon, want to go watch?"
"Of course, I also want to see how well Jiang Yuan performs in combat, and maybe…"
"A Summoning Card? I'm also pretty interested." Hu Qingwei笑着, and Tong Yuchang stepped out together.
Tong Yuchang felt a bit disappointed.
Ultimately Jiang Yuan had agreed to his challenge.
Not a wise choice.
Moreover, Cultivation Resources for Star Spirit Stones.
They're just not equivalent.
Or is it, you are certain of winning?
Tong Yuchang looked up at the sky, somewhat unable to understand what Jiang Yuan was thinking.
Crossing a Great Realm in combat, even if you, Jiang Yuan, didn't accept this fight, there wouldn't have been any problem.
After all, defeating an opponent across a Great Realm is really difficult.
Tong Yuchang shook his head, really not very optimistic about Jiang Yuan.
Especially in a one-on-one arena match.
The card that Erin Mountain holds is just too tricky.
