The collapsed bear den.
Three little bears hiding within.
When the shelter suddenly vanished, the three little bears did not panic but continued to fight for their master with all their might.
However, with only 100 points in each of their attack, defense, and magic, their capabilities were extremely limited.
The brave little bear that charged at the snow giant merely collided with its ankle and was bounced back, landing on its bottom.
The other two little bears, despite their best efforts to push the mana ball, could barely move due to their short legs, moving incredibly slowly.
As the shadow of the snow giant gradually swallowed them, Announcer Wilson held his breath, ready to declare the match over.
Rose on the ring was so tense she could hardly breathe.
Viscountess Gretebail clutched her husband’s hand in the spectator area.
Diana’s life hung by a thread.
Suddenly, the sky above the dueling arena echoed with the simultaneous shouts of both contestants!
“One-star has three, three-star has one! With a ‘Cub’ and a ‘White Female Boxer’ as sacrifices, I summon ‘Bear Treasure’!”
“One-star has one, three-star has one! With ‘Frozen Imp’ and ‘Snow Desert Sand Snake’ as sacrifices, I summon ‘Azure Jester’!”
The mana spirits turned into light and rose, forming a large summoning circle in the air.
Two four-star mana spirits appeared simultaneously in their respective summoning zones.
—
“What a surprise! First-year contestant Diana actually has a second-tier mana spirit!”
“However, Franco’s second four-star mana spirit is no less impressive!”
“But…”
Wilson’s tone took on a peculiar note.
—
On the red side summoning zone:
A baby bear emerged from the summoning circle, indistinguishable from the three little bears.
The baby bear fell onto the snow giant’s head, pinning it down!
With the sudden explosion of the snow giant’s body, the baby bear fell to the ground, bouncing twice with a solid thud!
Sharp-eyed spectators noticed that this baby bear, which looked like a young cub, was actually a highly realistic ragdoll bear!

“What is this?”
Dak watched the ragdoll bear in surprise, his eyes immediately falling on its chest.
There was a colorful spiral-patterned round button there!
Though the design had changed, Dak immediately thought of the button eyes of the ragdoll zombie—the very Christmas gift he had given Diana!
“It seems she used that button as the core material for the炼成.”
Dak blinked, remembering the bear pillow gathering dust in the dorm.
With a four-star mana spirit, Diana was no longer at a disadvantage. The chance for victory in this duel had arrived.
But whether she could win was yet to be seen.
After all, her opponent was a second-year student.
And Franco’s four-star mana spirit didn’t seem like an ordinary one either.
—
The four-star mana spirit appearing in the blue summoning zone—”Azure Jester”—was a strange jester with azure skin.
Though humanoid, it was unclothed, with vibrant paint on its azure skin and a large apple-like nose, with thick lips resembling blood beneath!
It was slightly comical but also terrifying.
This was Franco’s second four-star mana spirit.
He had only these two four-star mana spirits today, both summoned successfully.
If even this failed, there would be no point!
Franco scanned his hand cards and then looked up at the red side’s Bear Treasure, calmly saying, “Azure Jester, Card Splitting!”

—
The Azure Jester on the field heard its master’s command, spread its hands, and produced a deck of cards, picking out two—King and Joker.
Then, he blew on the cards and flicked them.
The two cards flew apart.
The colorful King instantly transformed into a clone identical to the Azure Jester.
The black-and-white Joker became a shadow-like clone.
In a single breath, three!
But it was unknown how much power the clones possessed compared to the original.
Amidst the audience’s gasps, the Azure Jester grabbed the King’s clone, spun it several times, and seven-colored light enveloped them, stopping after a moment. It was now impossible to tell which was the original and which the clone.
The Joker’s clone stepped forward and disappeared into the shadows!
—
“Franco’s Azure Jester is a unique mana spirit among four-star spirits, and many viewers may still remember it.”
“As for Diana’s Bear Treasure… honestly, as an announcer, this is the first time I’ve seen it. I hope it will bring us surprises beyond its appearance!”
—
Just as Wilson’s commentary paused momentarily, the two Azure Jesters suddenly leaned forward, charging at the cute ragdoll bear in perfect unison!
Both were incredibly fast, holding sharp-edged playing cards between their fingers!
The high attack of the Azure Jester likely stemmed from its card weapons.
It felt like a swift and elusive high-attack assassin.
Not only was it agile, but its movement speed was also incredibly fast!
In a blink, the two Azure Jesters crossed the center line and split apart, approaching the ragdoll bear from both sides!
The two little bears pushing the mana ball were completely ignored.
Diana on the red side platform flickered her eyes, waiting for the right moment to summon “Bear’s Power.” She whispered to the “Bear Treasure” mana card in her hand, “Draw your sword!”
The Bear Treasure on the field immediately stood up, grabbing the edge of the button on its chest and pulling it out!
The button instantly transformed into a colorful spiral-patterned lollipop!
-Ultimate Skill? Super Lollipop!
The “Bear Treasure,” with three skills, was an extremely rare orange card.
With gold cards scarce, orange cards were now coveted by duelists.
“Bear Treasure” was Diana’s first orange card.
Pulling out the lollipop, Bear Treasure swung it forcefully, transforming it into a seven-colored sugar syrup short sword!
The ragdoll bear holding the sugar syrup short sword exuded a stern aura, inconsistent with its appearance!
—
“Drip!”
—
Until the fifth round transition sound rang through the arena.
The two Azure Jesters closed the distance to Bear Treasure. They glanced at each other and simultaneously threw their cards, which spun and flew.
“Block!”
Diana’s command echoed.
Bear Treasure raised the sugar syrup short sword—the sword suddenly reverted to its super lollipop form, blocking one of the flying cards!
“Thud!”
One corner of the card directly pierced the super lollipop, causing it to shake violently.
While it blocked one card, another hit its side, tearing a long slit and exposing white cotton inside.
Fortunately, being an undead type, it felt no pain.
Bear Treasure gripped the lollipop tightly, looking around nervously.
“Jijiji!” x2
The Azure Jester laughed in sync.
They picked up another card between their fingers!
But instead of throwing it, they used the cards as weapons, rushing toward Bear Treasure from both sides.
In an instant, the distance was less than half a meter.
The previously panicking Bear Treasure suddenly turned fierce, swinging the lollipop at the left Azure Jester!
The lollipop transformed into a sword, striking the left Azure Jester’s knee!
Inheriting the weakness of high-attack assassins, Azure Jester was fragile.
Its clones were even more fragile!
Bear Treasure’s strike severed the left Azure Jester’s leg!
The severe injury caused it to explode, the King card falling amidst the smoke.
But the Azure Jester’s main body also struck Bear Treasure’s head!
“BOOM!”
Bear Treasure’s body exploded, leaving behind a broken doll substitute.
Its main body randomly reappeared behind the Azure Jester.
“Attack!”
After a moment’s hesitation, Bear Treasure received the attack command, swinging the super lollipop.
Seeing the “one-cut-two” scene about to happen, the Azure Jester’s shadow suddenly moved!
The upright shadow blocked the unexpected strike.
But it itself exploded into cards, revealing the Joker!
The situation suddenly turned.
The two card clones of the Azure Jester were destroyed in such a short time.
The paper knife launched by its main body was also blocked by the super lollipop.
Its two ultimate skills were now on cooldown.
Now, it was fully Bear Treasure’s turn!
“Bear Treasure Special Squad!”
Diana’s command echoed throughout the arena.
Successfully destroying the card clone, Bear Treasure quickly retreated, dodging the Azure Jester’s counterattack.
The distanced Bear Treasure transformed, wearing a small black combat suit.
Immediately, the two other bears escaping from the “Bear Den” were affected by this ultimate skill, donning white combat suits!
“Charge!”
Bear Treasure raised the sugar syrup short sword and pointed.
The two bears immediately released the mana ball and followed it in a charge!
Three bears formed a formidable squad.
A visible giant bear phantom appeared behind Bear Treasure, roaring and pouncing on the vulnerable Azure Jester!
“Mana Summon!”
Franco on the blue side platform solemnly drew the prepared mana card, roaring in anger at the critical moment.
“Ice House!”
An ice dome instantly covered the Azure Jester, protecting it like a golden bell.
At the same moment,
Diana’s “Bear’s Power” also activated!
The Bear Treasure leading the charge was enveloped in an intense glow.
Its body swelled, and violent power surged through its limbs.
Under the effect of “Bear’s Power,” Bear Treasure’s attack increased by 300×4, reaching an astounding 3000!
This value was displayed through mana projection.
Seeing this terrifying change, the audience gasped.
Then came a loud explosion.
“BOOM!”
The seemingly sturdy ice dome was shattered by Bear Treasure’s special squad, continuing its charge and smashing the exhausted Azure Jester into particles!
Seeing this, Franco’s eyes went dark, feeling dizzy.
But Diana’s face already showed excitement.
After this attack, the “Bear Treasure Special Squad” dispersed, the two bears rolling away, while Bear Treasure charged straight towards the blue zone.
At this moment,
The blue mana ball was still in mid-air.
Although shocked by Diana’s aggressive assault, Wilson instinctively said, “Despite the sudden change, Franco still has the advantage of being a second-year. His remote control of the mana ball makes him unbeatable…”
But before he finished, he saw Diana on the red side platform suddenly reach out for the blue mana ball!
She spread her fingers, and magic light glowed at her fingertips.
The blue mana ball was pulled downward by her magic, falling!
Then, with an attack power of 3000, Bear Treasure smashed the mana ball’s life barrier with a lollipop!
The 2000 mana value life barrier of the novice tournament crumbled under the overwhelming attack.
“BOOM!”
In the scattered mana fragments, the referee’s whistle sounded.
“The winner is decided!”
