This Summoner Is Too Powerful-Chapter 373 - 339: He Gave Up the Match?

Unlike Ah Yajun’s class teacher, Li Fan did not seek out Li Pu the night before the final.

Instead, he went along with Hidekatsu and Jia to indulge in the nightlife, experiencing the heavy cultural flavors of Zhongdu.

After all, in his view, this is just a small event, nothing too noteworthy or worth worrying about.

There are many card games in life; this is just one of them.

Moreover, considering Li Pu’s season in this championship, having personally defeated platinum players, reaching the final four already ensures he can advance directly to the platinum rank through offline results, even if he only ends up fourth in this tournament.

As for Li Pu himself, he shut himself in his room.

He thoroughly studied the deck compositions and styles that his three opponents have displayed thus far.

He came up with three different foundational tactical ideas for facing the three players.

Of course, the prepared tactics may be altered based on their on-site performance during tomorrow’s matches with others.

The next day, the day of the final arrived.

The audience seats were packed, and there was even a format never adopted during the elimination phase before.

They added two professional commentators.

These commentators, one male and one female, are quite renowned within Zhongdu’s cubic card player circle.

The male commentator is the vice president of the Cubic Card Association here, with many years of research into cubic cards, diamond rank.

The female commentator is the top player in the Zhongdu player rankings, known as Zhongdu’s Card King, master rank.

The finals consist of only six matches, so they are scheduled for the evening after dinner.

This way, players can get more rest, and it conveniently allows spectators to watch after work.

The Vice President: [Good evening, everyone!]

The Vice President: [I’m your familiar friend, the Vice President!]

Card King: [Good evening, everyone, I’m Xiaohu]

Card King: [It’s an honor to again be commenting on the annual Southwest Star Cup]

The Vice President: [Alright, I believe everyone has been waiting for a long time, so now let’s welcome our four players tonight!]

Under the Vice President’s passionate tone, the audience who had been waiting for a long time finally erupted.

"Momo! Momo!" xN

"Ji Rougui! Show them the strength of the bros!" xN

"Wu Xing Wu Xing you’re the best! Wu Xing Wu Xing you’re the best!" xN

"Ah Ya Ah Ya, go for it!" xN

At this time, the audience was divided into four camps, each choosing to support their favorite player.

Among them, Wu Xing and Li Pu’s cheers were the loudest.

Wu Xing is a young lady, and basically, 80% of the male audience stand by her.

As for Li Pu, it’s because he’s handsome enough, something he can’t control.

Of course, the other two also have considerable cheers.

Xiong Gui attracted popularity with his unusually styled bro deck.

Ah Yajun is the strongest contender for the championship.

The Vice President: [Alright, now let’s have the staff come onto the stage to perform our draw!]

After introducing the four players, the host cued the staff.

Thus, a huge circular wheel was pushed onto the stage by a group of people.

The wheel is divided into many small grids, akin to the roulette wheel in a casino.

The numbers of the four players are evenly distributed in these circle grids.

The rotation of the wheel determines the order of the six finals today.

Under the staff’s arrangement, Li Pu as number 1 first approached the wheel.

The backstory of this number 1 is rather meaningful.

It is based on the matches since the 2048 to 1024 elimination round, right until the 8 to 4 round, determined by the number of rounds.

The player with the fewer rounds has the more forward number.

Because Li Pu often made opponents surrender, somewhat unexpectedly, he used the fewest rounds.

Number 2 is Ah Yajun, his steady style actually consumes rounds, but he has several records of quickly forcing opponents to surrender, so he didn’t use many rounds.

Number 3 is red-haired girl Wu Xing, her deck is aggressive, giving her an advantage in round usage.

Number 4 is naturally Xiong Gui; his journey to the final four was rather tumultuous, facing several opponents with entangling tactics, thus dragging down his round count.

With Li Pu’s spin, the first round’s schedule was determined.

First Round:

Li Pu VS Wu Xing

Ah Yajun VS Xiong Gui

The second spin by Ah Yajun.

Second Round:

Ah Yajun VS Wu Xing

Li Pu VS Xiong Gui

Players number 3 and 4 do not qualify to spin the wheel, because the third round’s schedule is determined by the results of the first two rounds.

Third Round:

Wu Xing VS Xiong Gui

Li Pu VS Ah Yajun

Once the schedule was fully decided, the matches officially began.

For the first game, it’s Li Pu against Wu Xing.

Now the entire rectangular venue stage is like a card table magnified hundreds of times.

An empty board with 3 rows and 6 columns appears on this card table through holographic projection technology.

Hanging on the depot is a four-sided big screen, used to broadcast the interaction between players.

As for Li Pu and Wu Xing, they arrived at the center of the stage, beside a regular card table enveloped in a custom protective shield.

The purpose of this protective shield is to isolate external interference.

To prevent players from hearing the audience or commentators during the match.

The Vice President: [The first game is finally about to start. I wonder which side Card King favors?]
