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

Flames erupted, and the sky full of dark green sword shadows shattered instantly!

Those vines, harder than steel, were all cut in two by this wildfire blade!

The broken vines scattered and flew everywhere, only to be engulfed by the scarlet demonic flames before they even hit the ground.

It transformed into a dazzling display of sparks in mid-air.

The fleeting crimson light illuminated the Flame Dragon Knight's mask.

Lin Weiwei was closest to the camera, like a VIP, and had the clearest view.

A silver-red helmet, an eye shield as blue as the sea, and strong, defined lips.

And that strangely shaped yet terrifyingly powerful double-edged scimitar!

Everything happened too fast, far too fast.

She had thought that by using the hardened and enhanced Blood Poison Vine to unleash "Sharp Vine Sword Rain," even if she couldn't defeat Zhang Ziyang, she could at least hinder his attack and buy herself more time.

but……

She never expected that her all-out attack, fueled by hatred, would be so easily shattered by Zhang Ziyang's single slash!

Lin Weiwei frowned slightly, her teeth almost biting her red lips, and she retreated rapidly with her toes touching the ground, still trying to struggle.

She also has a special skill called 'Hidden Flower Traces' that she hasn't used yet.

That was a special move that combined the basic combat skill "Hidden" with the wildcard "Whirlwind Technique," allowing her to quickly spread the Blood Poison Vine flowers throughout the entire arena.

It can confuse the enemy's vision and hide itself in the pollen, waiting for the right moment to strike!

Her idea was beautiful, but reality was harsh.

Zhang Ziyang didn't give her that chance at all!

Clad in the Flaming Dragon Armor, his already formidable physique, comparable to that of a demonic beast of the same rank, was further enhanced.

"Trying to escape? Did you ask the knife in my hand first?"

Zhang Ziyang raised the corners of his mouth under his mask and pushed off the ground with his right foot to propel himself forward.

The tall figure, clad in armor, moved with the agility of a swallow, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Lin Weiwei.

With a flick of his wrist, he placed the flaming blade against her delicate neck.

"Still want to fight? Dai-jie-jie~"

Zhang Ziyang spoke in a light and cheerful tone, full of teasing.

Lin Weiwei was dumbfounded, frozen in place, her eyes filled with disbelief.

I...lost?

She stopped, her mind a little dazed, but the piercing chill on her neck told her that it was all real.

Lin Weiwei closed her eyes and took a deep breath, her full chest rising and falling with the movement. When she opened her eyes again, her expression had turned to one of relief.

"I'm not fighting anymore, I admit defeat, you win this time, little brother."

……

In the stands, everyone stared at the scene unfolding on the ring, hardly believing their eyes.

This...that's it?

Some viewers had already imagined a fierce battle between the two sides, with one side barely winning in the end.

I never expected the ending to be so sudden and unexpected.

Compared to Zhang Ziyang, who was new to the scene, Lin Weiwei had already played many matches in the arena. Her good looks and excellent win rate quickly earned her a group of fans, making her quite well-known in this third layer.

Therefore, very few people initially believed that Zhang Ziyang could win.

He looks far too young.

Strength level, combat experience, basic combat skills...

He was clearly inferior to Lin Weiwei in all these crucial factors that directly affect the outcome of the competition.

The odds offered by external bookmakers for the match between Zhang Ziyang and Lin Weiwei are 1.1:2.5:3.4.

If you bet on him to win, the formula is: Principal x 3.4 - Principal = Profit

Buying a flat-rate stock means the profit is calculated as: principal x 2.5 - principal = profit.

If you bet on Lin Weiwei and win, the formula is: Principal x 1.1 - Principal = Profit

The odds offered by the bookmakers show that very few people believed Zhang Ziyang could win, but the current situation has truly proven most people wrong.

Zhang Ziyang won, and it looked like he won very easily.

From the moment he donned that fiery red armor, the scales of victory tipped steadily in his favor.

Before she could win in three moves, Lin Weiwei, who was highly anticipated by most people, was completely defeated.

Some gamblers immediately tore up their tickets and started acting as "mom hunters" in the arena.

"A Tier 1 Five-Star can't beat a Tier 1 One-Star? Just keep putting on a show here!"

"You bitch, you've been betting on escorts, haven't you?"

"You can't even beat a student, what kind of combat card master are you? Go back to your hometown, get married, and breastfeed, don't embarrass yourself in public!"

"RNM, refund our money! Lin Weiwei, how could you do this to us after beating us to this state?"

……

The gamblers, their defenses broken, and the extreme fans hurled insults at each other, each transforming into a Red Wentworth Rambo.

But their shouts were quickly drowned out by the spontaneous applause from those around them.

"That was a great play!"

"It's one thing for him to be handsome, but his soul card is both handsome and powerful... This is really a bit outrageous!"

"Little brother, if you don't want to work hard, you can come and have a chat with Auntie~"

"This young man's soul card is of a very high grade. Plus, fire counters wood, so Lin Weiwei's loss is not unjust."

"Yeah, it's not that Lin Weiwei isn't strong, it's just that Zhang Ziyang is too freakish. He can easily defeat a fifth-level first-tier star with only a first-tier one-star talent. His aptitude... tsk tsk tsk!"

"Give this young man a few more years, and who knows, our Tianxing City might produce a pillar of the nation!"

……

On one side of the stands, the three teachers and students from Longwu High School also clapped, offering their congratulations to the winner, Zhang Ziyang.

Although Zhou Hongyu clapped enthusiastically, her delicate face was scrunched up, and her large, watery eyes were filled with worry and sorrow.

"Teacher Song, Yunxi, isn't Zhang Ziyang a bit too exaggerated? He doesn't know any combat skills, but he defeated Lin Weiwei by relying solely on his own soul card, which is a feat I've never seen before. I've never even heard of it before."

She is feeling very down right now.

Before coming to the arena, she was full of confidence and made bold statements to her classmates.

He said he would work hard with his teammates to win the fifth Tianxing Junior Championship and defend the school's honor.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ziyang suddenly appeared out of nowhere!

Judging from their current performance, they might have already broken through to the second tier by the time we meet again at the Tianxing Small Meeting in half a month.

When the time comes, if I were to face such a bug-level monster who is "all about numbers and mechanics, requiring no effort or sweat"...

Just thinking about it made Zhou Hongyu shudder. In her mind, there were only two words: "Wow, this is terrible!"

Jin Yunxi smiled, seemingly not under much psychological pressure.

"You're exaggerating! Zhang Ziyang won largely because his soul card ability happened to counter Lin Weiwei. Lin Weiwei's greatest reliance, the Bone-Eating Blood Poison, was ineffective against that fully enclosed body armor, and her attributes were also countered by her opponent. In her panic, she lost her composure, which is why Zhang Ziyang seized the opportunity and defeated her in one fell swoop. Otherwise, Lin Weiwei wouldn't have lost so quickly!"

Jin Yunxi had been watching the stage very carefully, silently analyzing the situation in her mind.

Although we were surprised by Zhang Ziyang's outstanding performance, we were not afraid or worried!

This astonishing power actually hides a lot of "coincidences" behind it.

These "coincidences" are usually not easily replicated and only take effect under specific conditions.

After listening, Song Wenjing showed a satisfied expression:

"Yunxi, your analysis is very good. Although Zhang Ziyang is very strong, he is not so strong as to be invincible. Card masters fight an intelligence war. We now know his soul card abilities and some of his skills. As long as we formulate tactics in advance and conduct targeted training, it is not difficult to defeat him."

Zhang Ziyang's performance has been recorded by her using her tablet.

Go back and analyze it; you'll be able to pull up a table soon.

Seeing that the two of them said the same thing, Zhou Hongyu felt a little relieved and a smile quickly returned to her face.

Indeed, there is no such thing as a perfect card master in this world.

Zhang Ziyang also has weaknesses; we must not boost the morale of others while diminishing our own!
