The Rotating Arena's pointer unwaveringly pointed to "Glasses."
In an instant, every "gaze" focused on Jiang Qian. At last, it was time for a true fight between "living people," and the strange collectibles seated all around the arena stirred and buzzed with excitement!
Tony Fugui watched Jiang Qian anxiously.
Dragging his weary body, he stubbornly lifted his chin. Fear of the unknown, a lack of confidence, and despair all showed on his face.
Jiang Qian calmly studied him through the Mystery Glasses, observing the few faint threads connected to him, weaving in and out among the crisscrossing strands that filled the arena.
Strange. Even living people could gradually fall under its influence... Jiang Qian didn't step onto the arena right away. Instead, he called up from below, "Hey, did you bet your life or your Super-Species Crystal?"
At such a personal question, Tony Fugui momentarily lost focus.
Doctor Dai had asked him the same thing earlier.
Oddly enough, it gave him a brief reprieve from his extreme anxiety. "Why are you asking?"
Jiang Qian thought for a moment and put it more tactfully. "Just checking whether we'd have a chance to meet again."
"Hmph, what's that supposed to mean? You think I'm bound to lose to you?" Tony Fugui grew wary again. The question sounded all wrong.
But sadly, even he didn't believe he had a chance of surviving to the end.
"Looks like this is the last time..." Jiang Qian sighed. He stopped beating around the bush. "I'll be straight with you, Teacher Fugui. You're going to die today, but not by my hand. If you satisfy one of my curiosities, I'll avenge you."
"You'll avenge me?" Tony Fugui thought he'd misheard. "Ha! Are you crazy, or am I?"
Before he could finish, Jiang Qian slowly raised a card.
