Supreme Star Card Master-Chapter 200 - 168 "The Battle of Heaven and Earth

Yan Ziyu looked at Xu Wenshu, who was forced to concede by the Heavenly Gang General, and couldn’t help but frown.
"Ever since Wen Chenwei lost, the situation has only gotten worse for us."
Ji Xuan, hearing this, turned to look at Su Yuan in the Demon Capital contestant seating.
Ji Xuan knew very well that the reason things turned out this way was that Wen Chenwei had lost to Xia Yue from the Demon Capital Academy.
But the root cause lay in the first round when Su Yuan let Ye Qing defeat Yang Xu first, prompting Capitol City College to join in attacking Demon City.
"Su Yuan… maybe this time, getting second place won’t be so easy."
Looking at the young man with the serene expression and clear silver eyes on the stage, Ji Xuan couldn’t help but feel a strange pressure.
"Ziyu, are you confident in defeating Xiang Dingqian?" Ji Xuan asked, turning his head.
"About seventy percent sure…"
Yan Ziyu crossed his arms, pondering,

"In terms of strength, he’s not below me. But although his attacks are strong, his bursts are not as fierce as Xia Yue’s.
As long as I can stabilize the situation at the beginning, I have considerable confidence in defeating him."
Ji Xuan nodded, "Alright, I’ll leave it to you then."
Although Yan Ziyu was quite confident, Ji Xuan’s expression remained very solemn.
It was foreseeable that Xiang Dingqian would likely challenge Demon City next.
If Xiang Dingqian won, Demon City would have only one person left, on the verge of elimination.
Even if Xiang Dingqian lost, his strength would still likely cause considerable damage to Yan Ziyu.
Capitol City could then take advantage and continue their attacks, leading to the same result.
No matter what, as long as Xiang Dingqian challenged Demon City, Demon City would likely face a situation where only Ji Xuan remained.
Even Ke Zhen Nan sighed and, looking at Xiang Dingqian left on the stage, announced, "The seventh match, initiated by the Demon Capital Academy."
"I challenge Capitol City College."
Amidst everyone’s astonished gazes, Xiang Dingqian turned to face Capitol City College.
"Xiang Dingkun, do you dare to come up!"
Instantly, the entire place fell silent, followed by an uproar of exclamations and discussions.
"He actually challenged Capitol City College!"
"It must be some brotherly grudge, he directly called out Xiang Dingkun."
"But this is a team competition concerning the Holy Spring quota. Prioritizing the team victory should come first. What grudges can’t be settled later? It’s really puzzling!"
"Who cares, this is good for our Demon City Academy!"
…
Even the students from the Demon Capital Academy, who only needed second place to secure a Holy Spring quota, were shocked and spoke excitedly.
"Damn, what’s with Xiang Dingqian? If he had challenged Demon City this round, second place would have been secured!"
"Yeah, does he want to resolve a personal grudge with Xiang Dingkun at such a critical moment? And Su Yuan didn’t stop him!" Find exclusive stories on novelbuddy
Just then, someone proposed a different idea,
"Isn’t it possible that Su Yuan and Xiang Dingqian want to take first place?"
At this, everyone started thinking again, and the more they thought about it, the more it made sense.
"It’s very possible. First, they allied with Capitol City to attack Demon City, and now they want to ally with Demon City to attack Capitol City!"
"But what if Demon City Academy continues to attack us regardless?"
"That’s unclear… it depends on the Demon City captain’s thoughts."
The discussions continued, even He Yanan and Lan Xinlan thought it was possible.
But in fact, Su Yuan didn’t think that much…
The challenge to Capitol City College was simply because Xiang Dingqian said he wanted to fight Xiang Dingkun.

Ji Cheng said to Xiang Dingkun, "How about I go this round, and you and Zhu Hongchi stay behind. As long as you two are here, we can handle any situation!"
This plan from Ji Cheng was undoubtedly relatively prudent.
But how could Xiang Dingkun, who was named directly, stay put?
"I’ll go myself." Xiang Dingkun stood up.
"But…" Ji Cheng tried to persuade.
Xiang Dingkun asked, "Ji Cheng, are you absolutely sure you can defeat him?"
Ji Cheng shook his head, "No."
"If Xiang Dingqian defeats you, Demon City Academy might regain the thought of fighting for first place and turn against us.
I will personally defeat him, so Demon City Academy will have no more ambitions."
After pondering for a while, Ji Cheng nodded, "Alright, be careful then!"
Although somewhat aggressive, Ji Cheng had great confidence in Xiang Dingkun’s strength. If Xiang Dingkun could beat Xiang Dingqian in this match, it would almost secure Capitol City College’s victory!
"Xiang Dingqian, it seems you’ve never accepted the difference in our talents." Xiang Dingkun stepped onto the stage and looked at Xiang Dingqian, who was standing with a weapon, speaking slowly.
"Of course I haven’t. I admit, your talent is a bit higher than mine.
But I believe my efforts this past year are enough to bridge that talent gap."
"Effort, bridge?" Xiang Dingkun sneered.
"Have you heard of ’absolute genius’? That’s someone who outpaces everyone from birth, a genius so exceptional that no matter how hard others try, they can’t compare.
For instance, my talent surpasses yours now, and no matter how hard you try, you can’t catch up to me!"
Absolute genius, huh… Xiang Dingqian mused.
