One hour has passed since the start of the shadow world.

Lancy used his icy fingers to lightly touch the rough stone wall. The sting he felt brought him back to his senses.

Accompanied by the howling of the cold wind from the prison and the trembling silence of the prisoners in other cells, the iron chains bit tighter on his hands, the handcuffs scraping against his wrists until they were numb with pain.

Every pore of his body was resisting the cold, but it was in vain.

"It's so cold..."

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, feeling the cold air spreading through his lungs, then slowly exhaled white mist. He could feel every tremor within his body, every heartbeat, struggling against this boundless cold.

Over time, Lance began to get used to the cold, until his muscles grew stiff and his thoughts slowed.

It's hard to imagine what it would be like to continue living in this prison, where cold and despair might become his only companions, accompanying him through a silent and long night.

Although Adams's chosen shadow world wasn't problematic.

After all, Lynch has said he'll accept any type of challenge.

In terms of their strength, if they fight to the end, they will definitely both be defeated.

"Adams,…"

Finally, Lance said resignedly at the wall near Adam's cell,

If we keep going like this, we're bound to have a winner and a loser. It might spoil things between us.

very soon.

"What's wrong, Lance Are you starting to feel overwhelmed now"

"I believe you wouldn't be the type to back out halfway, right"

Adams let out a laugh, his tone laced with a hint of sarcasm.

On the left side of the wall, separating the two, Adam's cell was in no better state.

Although he had, like Lynch, accumulated a small amount of supplies, after completely forgoing their use and enduring an hour, Adam's face was starting to frost over.

He has always underestimated Ranchi.

In a scenario where both sides are unable to use magic cards, his inherent cold resistance surpasses that of Lance.

However, Ranch is also very good at analyzing intelligence and using strategies. He is likely able to obtain more supplies from the other prisoners.

Adam has made up his mind; no matter what Lance says, he won't make a deal with him. Lance himself is a man with hypnotic rhetoric, and swindling the opponent's resources is a major possibility for winning.

As long as Adams didn't lose out to Lance in terms of material resources, he was very confident that he would never lose to Lance in terms of his determination and willpower for Julianna Knight. Only by defeating Lance so openly and honestly could Lance accept defeat with a good grace.

Lanche paused for a moment, he felt that Adams clearly misunderstood his meaning.

"I've always acted without regret, and you can trust me completely when it comes to my commitment to the agreement."

Lanche said calmly.

Two people communicated through the thick wall, their voices passing through the gaps in the iron bars to the corridor and then into the next room.

Then there is nothing more to say, no matter what you say I will not be swayed by you.

Adam smiled wryly.

He knew that in this world of shadows, Lance would sooner or later try to communicate with him.

Because he had anticipated that Ranch would try to drag him into a mental game, using schemes to defeat him, he just hadn't expected Ranch to start so soon.

"...."

After the message was relayed, Lance remained silent for a while.

Alright, you win.

When he finished speaking, the sound of Ranchi next door abruptly ceased.

"Wait for me"

Adams was taken aback for a moment, and called out to the people outside the iron bars.

However, there was no more response from the cell next door.

"Ranch"

Adam didn't understand the situation at first.

Ranch's enigmatic desire for victory left Adams utterly perplexed.

Is this person truly the type who doesn't care about winning or losing

I heard rumors that Lan Qi's disposition is unfathomable.

But even Adams couldn't have imagined someone surrendering in a competition representing the academy, giving up completely and without a shred of emotion or pride, as if they were a purely rational being making decisions devoid of any feeling.

Adam pondered for a moment, and finally let out a cloud of mist with a relieved sigh.

Presumably, Lanche also realized that it was hopeless to defeat him in this shadow world through brute force or willpower, so he chose to stop there and follow the principle of a friendly competition.

Lance's manner and attitude also impressed Adams.

He is truly a prodigy who managed to defeat the Destruction Saint, Adeline, in perilous circumstances.

"And so on..."

Just as Adam was considering leaving the film world and escaping the torment, he furrowed his brow.

He pressed his hand lightly against the wall, then brought his ear to the back of his hand, closing his eyes to listen carefully.

And then a while passed.

Although faint, he detected some slight rustling sounds coming from next door!

Adam's face suddenly contorted in disbelief.

"Lance, you despicable scoundrel!"

Adam yelled angrily at the neighbor.

This dog thing, it really can do anything!

I almost got tricked by his schemes!

……

On Jerla Memorial Square, the students fell silent.

This is very strange.

He actually wanted to pretend he had already quit and hide in the shadow world, tricking Adams into going out!

After all, the true victor, according to the agreement witnessed by all the Sage Academy teachers and students, will still be determined by the rankings in the Shadow World.

If Adams had almost believed him just now, after Lance left, all he had to do was tell Adams, "You believe everything they say in the Shadow World That kind of verbal surrender doesn't count. It's just a reasonable tactic. We still have to abide by the treaty," and Adams would have been speechless.

Ranch is obviously playing mind games and exploiting loopholes in the contract terms again.

Although surrendering was a bit shameless, it was indeed the only way for Lance to win easily!

"If Adams had been a little less cunning, things might have ended there just now."

Some lawyers are so despicable, they'll first pretend to concede to you verbally and then slam down a contract!

On the stone steps, a former fighter who had once been a victim spoke bitterly.

Whenever they recalled how Cierwen, the elder sister, had wept uncontrollably, they felt immense regret that back at the Fighting Spirit dojo, none of them had detected Ranche's true nature from the start.

Because of Lanchi, Czerwini has completely given up on her fighting spirit now. No matter how much they try to persuade her, she won't listen. They can only wish their elder sister the best of luck in passing the Law Exam...

But... Lanchi's scheme not only was seen through by Adams, but also aroused his vigilance. It is estimated that it will be even harder to deceive Adams next time. What should Lanchi do then

Other students couldn't help but discuss in confusion.

In the shadow world prison, Lynch and Adams were separated by a wall, unable to see each other's condition.

The live stream shows a direct view of the two people's faces in their prison cells, allowing viewers to see their expressions clearly.

Adams still seemed to have plenty of energy, while Lynch was truly freezing and couldn't choose to really tough it out with Adams.

Lanci, despite possessing immense magical potential, is incapable of casting any spells while his cards are sealed. He doesn't even know a first-level fireball spell and can't even heal himself or warm up.

Only Lance possesses such an outrageous mastery of magic within the entire Sage's Academy.

For Lan Qi, the crucial moment is now fast approaching.

Some heavyweight operations should also be brought out!
