This Summoner Is Too Powerful-Chapter 379 - 342: The Game-Changing Muscle Card
This round, Ah Yajun returned to his previous steady style, while Wu Xing chose a high-intensity gold demon deck, balancing offense and defense.
The so-called high-intensity refers to her initial reveal containing two A-grade cards, which was quite surprising.
However, Ah Yajun wasn't lacking either, as his player skill provided his deck an inherent strength advantage.
This game was arguably the most exciting battle in the tournament so far.
Both sides fought fiercely, exhausting all their resources.
In the end, both sides' regular cards exited simultaneously, triggering the ace showdown mechanism for the next round.
In such a situation, Ah Yajun's player skill played a vital role again.
Although his ace card was 2 points lower than Wu Xing's, he achieved victory through [Shield].
"If she used this deck against me."
"I would have been in trouble."
Li Pu felt a bit unsatisfied after watching this match.
This wasn't about being lucky but about realizing a well-prepared strategy led to a favorable outcome.
Evidently, Wu Xing's deck choice showed she was more focused on Ah Yajun, not expecting to falter against him.
"In card games, a loss is a loss and a win is a win, no 'ifs.'"
"Her loss to you was completely reasonable."
Jiang Guiju said.
"Exactly, what you should be thinking about now is how to deal with that muscle man."
Chang Shoushang chimed in.
"About that…I've already got a plan."
Li Pu smiled.
Sometimes, the answer doesn't need to be overly complex.
The opponent utilizes a versatile muscle-themed deck, changing cards every match.
This kind of opponent is actually his favorite.
Because he possesses a player skill more rogue than Ah Yajun's, [Substitute Card].
With this skill at hand, no matter how varied the opponent is, it won't be a problem.
So for this match, Li Pu still chose his mushroom deck.
Because the mushroom deck has a deep card pool, perfect for adaptability.
As for cards targeted against muscle-themed decks, others might not have them, but he certainly does.
Last night, before heading out, Li Fan gave him a card.
Rather than giving, it was more like returning a card to him.
After another 40-minute break, Li Pu finally faced the match against Ji Rougui.
This match was crucial for him.
If he won, then the third-round match against Ah Yajun would be decisive for the championship.
If he lost, it would be troublesome; he must win against Ah Yajun in the third round to force a tiebreaker.
"Mushroom brothers, hahahaha!"
"I've wanted to play against you for a long time."
Upon entering the shield, Li Pu was warmly welcomed by Xiong Gui.
"Now, only our aces remain unrevealed!"
Xiong Gui laughed heartily.
Initially, only he, Li Pu, and Ah Yajun had unrevealed aces in this tournament.
Ah Yajun's streak was broken in the previous match, now leaving only the two of them.
Since Li Pu defeated Wu Xing, he had a fallback.
But for Xiong Gui, this match was a must-win to keep his championship hopes alive.
So for this match, he prepared something special for Li Pu.
"Bring it on."
Li Pu, watching the muscular figure, didn't want to waste words. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
So upon the referee's signal, both sides quickly set up their decks.
The match officially began.
[Mushroom Boom!] x3
Li Pu's approach was solid, using three mushroom meat cards.
[Muscle!]
On Ji Rougui's side, a minotaur projection sprung from the card.
This minotaur had a white body with black spots, horns on its head, and wore a nose ring.
Wearing only a small pair of shorts, its muscles were remarkably explosive.
[Muscle Cow] -15 points, B
11/11
Offense 3, Defense 3
[Muscle Muscle]: Muscle Cow grants all revealed muscle cards +1 maximum health.
[Milk of Muscle]: Muscle Cow emits a screen-wide flash; all revealed non-muscle cards receive 1 point of damage, all revealed muscle cards receive 1 point of [Healing].
[Sliding Muscle]: When Muscle Cow is attacked, damage received is reduced by 1.
This muscle card was one Ji Rougui had frequently played in this tournament.
Its most notable feature was its ability to perform screen-wide attacks while also supporting allies.
Topping health limits and reducing damage, don't be fooled by just 3 points of Defense—it's quite survivable.
"..."
Yet this card took Li Pu by slight surprise.
Card King He: [Huh? Muscle Cow's player's card strategy seems a bit off in this match.]
Vice President: [Card King He, what do you mean?]
Vice President: [It looks to me like a muscle card, nothing unusual at the start.]
Card King He: [Vice President, it seems you haven't been following Muscle Cow's matches closely.]
Card King He: [Typically, this Cow card is used in the second row in past matches.]
Card King He: [Putting it directly in the front row today is quite strange.]
Vice President: [Is that so, I see now.]
Vice President: [That means Muscle Cow's player might be making an unprecedented change this match.]
Vice President: [Let's wait and see then!]
The two commentators shared Li Pu's curiosity.
"Here it comes, the special combo prepared for you."
At this moment, Xiong Gui suddenly smiled.
