The white-haired school beauty sighs every day, yet he keeps getting stronger.

Upon hearing this, both Jin Yunxi and Song Wenjing turned their heads.

Zhang Ziyang's eyes looked strange:

"Can't you?"

Zhou Hongyu looked puzzled:

"Of course you can, but the twentieth floor is a floor that only second-tier high-star card masters can enter and exit."

You… oh~, I see, you went to watch the game, right?”

She changed the subject, put her hands on her hips, and looked smug.

He seemed proud of his insightful reasoning.

But the next second, Zhang Ziyang ruthlessly overturned her conclusion.

Zhang Ziyang shook his head:

"No, I'm going to participate in a competition. Just like you, I'm going to challenge the defending champion."

Upon hearing this, all three women were shocked.

"what?"

"what?"

"real or fake?"

Go to the 20th floor to participate in the competition.

Why not go and challenge the reigning champion?

Doesn't this mean that Zhang Ziyang's cultivation level has reached...?

Zhou Hongyu swallowed hard and asked cautiously:

"Um, may I ask what level you're at now?"

Zhang Ziyang smiled, pursing his lips:

"you guess!"

Zhou Hongyu was immediately furious:

"If you don't want to tell me, then don't. Why make me guess? Are you a child?"

Zhang Ziyang yawned:

"Only children are so curious."

The Tianxing Small Meeting will be held in a few days.

Their Flying Card Master High School is bound to face off against Dragon Dance High School.

It wouldn't hurt to show off a little first, just to intimidate them.

Zhou Hongyu was unhappy:

Who are you calling a child?

"Whoever answered me just now is the one."

"you!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Jin Yunxi quickly stepped forward and pulled Zhou Hongyu back, comforting her:

"Alright, alright, Hongyu, the Card Master realm is a private matter. It's not appropriate for us to ask about it so rashly."

Zhou Hongyu nodded, made a face at Zhang Ziyang, and turned away without saying a word.

Jin Yunxi looked at Zhang Ziyang, her red lips slightly parted.

Just as I was about to speak, the elevator arrived.

"Yunxi, let's go!"

"Hey?"

Zhou Hongyu grabbed Jin Yunxi's arm and quickly walked out of the elevator.

Song Wenjing gave Zhang Ziyang a deep look, nodded slightly, and then followed him.

Zhang Ziyang waved goodbye.

The elevator doors closed, and the numbers continued to climb.

It didn't stop until 20 PM.

"Ding!"

The elevator doors slowly opened, revealing Zhang Ziyang's tall figure.

The reigning champion, here I come!

……

"Hmph! That bad guy."

Zhou Hongyu complained about someone as she walked.

"They were just asking out of curiosity. If they don't want to answer, they don't have to. Why are they so angry? It's infuriating!"

"Okay, okay, we've just met and we're not very familiar with each other yet, so it's really not a good idea to ask this."

"Yunxi, whose side are you on? Are you still my best friend or not?!"

"I'll side with what's right, not with my own people."

The two girls chatted and laughed for a while, then noticed that Song Wenjing had been hiding behind them, remaining silent.

Jin Yunxi turned around and asked:

"What's wrong, Teacher Song?"

Song Wenjing hesitated for a moment, then spoke:

"Hongyu, could you record the duel between Yunxi and the defending champion for me? I won't watch it."

Zhou Hongyu was stunned:

"Huh? Then where are you going, Teacher Song?"

Song Wenjing reached out and adjusted her glasses, her voice serious:

"I'm going to the twentieth floor to see Zhang Ziyang's fight!"

Zhou Hongyu pursed her lips upon hearing this:

"Teacher Song, do you really believe he went to challenge the 20th floor's reigning champion?"

Even someone as strong as Yunxi is only at the first rank, eighth star.

Even if Zhang Ziyang is incredibly powerful, he's only just broken through to the second tier at most.

How could anyone possibly defeat a level 3, 1-star defending champion?

Song Wenjing fell silent.

That's... hard to say!

She had carefully observed the boy in the elevator just now.

Posture, muscle movements, eye contact, fluctuations in mental energy...

He hid it very well.

Like a precious sword hidden in its sheath, it reveals not a trace of its sharpness.

Even with her keen eyesight, she couldn't glean any more information.

The fact that it's not apparent is precisely the crux of the problem!

Song Wenjing took a deep breath and made the arrangements:

"The match will start soon, you two hurry up! Yunxi, play well, don't let your guard down just because I'm not here, I'll be watching the replay when I get back!"

"it is good."

"Well, let's go!"

After watching the two women leave, Song Wenjing immediately turned around and went back to take the elevator.

Hopefully, it's not what she suspected!

Otherwise, Longwu High School's winning streak will likely end this year.

But this might also be a good thing.

If Long Wu were to consistently dominate Tianxing High School, wouldn't it become a stagnant pool?

The dragon dance was victorious, but only one school was happy about it.

If the dragon dance fails, will the entire city rise to power?

"Zhang Ziyang, let me see just how strong you really are."

Song Wenjing walked out of the elevator with a calm expression.

The arena was already buzzing with excitement.

A loud broadcast was playing a message.

"Distinguished guests, we have some exciting news to share today!"

"A young contestant has chosen to challenge our reigning champion on the 20th floor, Mr. Guan Shanhai!"

Upon hearing this, Song Wenjing quickened her pace and arrived at the scene.

On the circular platform, countless spectators looked on with excitement.

They might raise their fists and shout, or wave banners in the wind.

It was bustling with activity!

Song Wenjing found an empty seat near the front, took out her notebook and phone, and prepared to take notes.

On the enormous electronic screen hanging horizontally in the center.

It is displaying information about the players who are about to face off.

On the left is Guan Shanhai, and on the right is Zhang Ziyang.

The screen first displays a photo of Guan Shanhai.

Guan Shanhai is a middle-aged man in his thirties.

The man in the photo has a square face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a strong, muscular upper body, and a neat short haircut.

He looks every bit the part of an elite fighter.

Below is some basic information about him.

Realm: Third Rank, One Star

Soul Card: Heavenly Demon Armor (Orange Quality)

Battle record: 99 wins, 9 losses

Immediately afterwards, a tall, muscular man wearing a boxer's short cape walked onto the central ring.

The spotlight shone down and focused on him.

Guan Shanhai raised his fists high, a smile on his face, to welcome the thunderous cheers from all around.

The scene was as if a celebrity had arrived, with many women throwing bouquets and screaming and cheering.

Song Wenjing opened her tablet and brought up Guan Shanhai's information.

I quickly scanned it.

Song Wenjing quickly reached a conclusion:

"As the defending champion, Guan Shanhai is quite strong. Plus, his appearance is decent, so it's no wonder that Tianxing Arena is willing to support him and give him exposure. But recently, he's been traveling around doing gigs and focusing on live-streaming sales, so he's made very few appearances in the last two months. His training has probably been neglected. Even so, he's still an insurmountable mountain for a second-tier card master! It won't be easy for Zhang Ziyang to defeat him."

New information quickly switched on the central large screen.

A half-body photo of Zhang Ziyang was revealed.

At the same time, a broadcast began.

"Next up is a very promising young player!"

"He is still a college student, and he had only experienced one challenge before, but he defeated a stronger opponent by leaping four minor realms!"

"And today he appeared again and directly chose to challenge the defending champion Guan Shanhai, which can be described as fearless."

"He is Zhang Ziyang from Feiteng Card Master High School!"

As the sound faded, another spotlight shone down.

The light shone on a tall, slender figure slowly walking onto the stage.

With black hair, bright eyes, and handsome features, he was dressed in all black.

Zhang Ziyang walked calmly to the opposite side of Guan Shanhai.

Compared to the hugely popular Guan Shanhai, he was virtually unknown.

In the vast venue, few people cheered for him; instead, there was only doubt and mockery.

"Wow, so young! Is he still a college student?"

"What's with the arena? Are they just feeding Guan Shanhai?"

"Did he find shelter from the sand and wind? Who gave him the courage to challenge Guan Shanhai and Fish Leong?"

"Brother is so handsome!"

"What good is being handsome? If being handsome could be considered as strength, then Guan Shanhai would be helpless. But this is the Card Master Arena, where strength is what matters."

"They're truly fearless, like newborn calves!"

Everyone was talking about it.

Few people were optimistic about Zhang Ziyang.

But when Zhang Ziyang's information was updated, the entire audience erupted in uproar!

"What the hell? Eighteen years old, second-tier, eighth-star???"

"Did the arena staff fall asleep at work? They even updated the realm incorrectly."

"No way, if the arena can make mistakes on something that can be confirmed with a simple check, then there's no point in running it."

"How old is he? His skill level is already so high. I've been watching competitions for so many years and this is the first time I've seen such a genius!"

"This is a promising talent who could easily be recommended to either Jinghua or Longxia! No wonder he dared to challenge Guan Shanhai!"

"However, he is still a whole realm below Guan Shanhai. Guan Shanhai also knows intermediate combat skills. Winning won't be that easy."
