This Summoner Is Too Powerful-Chapter 371 - 338: The Final Four Decided

This was the first time Li Pu used a non-mushroom deck since entering the knockout stage.

Actually, even without encountering Ke Mogu, he had already planned to do this.

The further the competition progresses, the stronger the opponents become; relying on just one type of card is impossible to win throughout.

No matter how many counter cards I prepare, they are still bound to be countered; this situation is too passive.

Having several decks to rotate makes it harder for opponents to target you.

In the afternoon, the round of 64 to 32 took place. Since there weren’t many matches, he and Chang Shoushang went back for lunch and a nap before returning to the venue.

Outside the drawing area, Jiang Guiju and Chang Shoushang were waiting for Li Pu to come out.

As for that cousin Chang Jicuo, he had been missing since the early rounds.

Chang Shoushang was used to this, as this cousin sometimes even disappeared during the Lunar New Year; it was nothing new.

"I really didn’t expect it—our junior has fought his way into the top 64."

Looking at the group of players at the drawing area, Jiang Guiju suddenly sighed.

She always knew Li Pu was reliable, but she didn’t expect him to be this reliable.

"Senior, do you think he has a chance... to take first place?"

Chang Shoushang tilted his head and asked.

He had a stiff neck from the nap, seemingly hurting his neck.

"That’s really hard to say. I certainly hope our junior can win."

"But now every round has very strong opponents; no one knows what surprises might happen."

"Moreover... I have noticed that several players have particularly strong card pools and decks."

Jiang Guiju didn’t dare to jinx it and spoke as if she hadn’t spoken at all.

During their conversation, Li Pu had finished drawing a number and walked out.

"How was it, who’s your opponent this round?"

Chang Shoushang walked up to him, head tilted.

"Uh..."

Li Pu’s expression gave nothing away as he displayed the number in his hand.

"This number corresponds to..."

Jiang Guiju looked up at the number chart at the drawing area that matched numbers to players.

"Huh?"

Chang Shoushang was the first to find the owner of the number.

Xia Sanlan.

"With a name like that, they can’t be a good person."

Jiang Guiju frowned.

From the name, she felt this person seemed opposed to her in some sense.

"But this name is so unfamiliar."

Chang Shoushang shuffled through the so-called top 100 players’ list from before, finding no match.

"Mo Sai Gu, right? Hello."

Just then, the owner of the number emerged.

A chubby guy with a cheerful expression walked out from the crowd, his full face and smile making him look harmless.

"Hello."

Li Pu nodded in response.

"So it’s him..." x2

Chang Shoushang and Jiang Guiju exchanged glances, mentally connecting the dots.

The top 100 players’ list included photos.

This guy ranked 99 under the alias "Lucky Star," no wonder the name was unfamiliar.

"The data says this guy’s deck is terrible, his card skills are terrible. That’s two terrible already—what’s the third?"

Chang Shoushang and Jiang Guiju whispered to each other.

"Just from looking at him, you really can’t tell."

Jiang Guiju lowered her voice and shook her head.

However, her intuition about this guy wasn’t good.

All of his opponents seemed to lose due to non-official reasons; while the explanation was luck, she thought it couldn’t be that simple.

The organizers acknowledged his record, likely because they hadn’t found out otherwise yet.

"Our match is quite early; please go easy on me."

Xia Sanlan extended his hand to Li Pu.

His hand was gloved, which looked suspicious.

Jiang Guiju was about to stop this gesture when her phone rang.

If it were an ordinary ringtone, she would definitely choose to ignore it.

But this was a specially set ringtone, a call from Li Fan.

"Hello, Teacher."

With lightning-fast action, Jiang Guiju answered the call.

"Junior, it’s Teacher looking for you."

The next second, she handed the phone to Li Pu.

This action interrupted Li Pu’s intention to shake hands with the other person.

"Hello, Teacher."

"Uh-huh, okay, understood."

Li Pu listened to the call while shaking Xia Sanlan’s hand.

Leaving someone’s hand hanging there seemed impolite.

"Looking forward to learning from each other."

After hanging up, he said.

"Likewise, likewise."

It might have been an illusion, but Xia Sanlan’s smile seemed brighter.

...

"Your student is a bit stubborn."

Somewhere in the audience stands, Xiu Cang Jia witnessed the handshake scene.

Some things the organizers might overlook, but they don’t escape her eyes.

"Don’t worry, that kid is no fool."

Li Fan shrugged, having already given his warnings.

"This little fatty has truly shamed Modu University."

Xiu Cang Jia was a bit annoyed.

"Indeed, I don’t reject some outside-the-box methods."

"In terms of language games and psychological strategies, they’re essentially the same."

Li Fan nodded in agreement, then added, "But judging from his decks and card skills, this person doesn’t respect the cubic card." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Wanting to win is good, but being too utilitarian breaches the original intention of playing cards."

He believed the organizers would at most need two or three more days to thoroughly investigate, and by then, this little fatty would surely be disqualified and punished.
