[Mushroom Boom!]

On Li Pu's side, as usual, he placed the first card as [Shield Mushroom].

So far, out of the cards he owned, he found this card truly useful.

Mainly because it's cheap in points and has strong survivability.

In every match, it played a significant role.

[Holy Light Bo Bo!]

Over on Ah Yajun's side, the card revealed was full of holy flavor.

A dazzling pure white light burst out from the card's surface, instantly catching Li Pu's attention.

The light faded from bottom to top, and the first thing that entered his sight was a pair of legs clad in steel armor.

Following upwards, the silhouette of a tall man in a fully enclosed steel plate armor gradually appeared.

In one hand, he held a bright Fine Steel Shield, and in the other, a Fine Steel Warhammer.

Just from these parts, Li Pu felt this was likely a very brave and combative high-score card.

But when the light completely dispersed and the projection was revealed, he froze.

"Uh, this..."

How should it be described?

A sense of patchwork, this projection gave him a very incongruous, cheap sense of patchwork.

The body was a complete human body, but the head was not.

Bear in mind, he had seen pig-head people, chicken-head people, and goat-head people today.

Those beast-headed people felt natural, with no sense of patchwork at all.

But this projection was different, its head was... a complete lump of pink slime.

Yes, this was a slime person.

More accurately, a slime-head person.

The unexpected appearance was hard to get used to, but what truly startled Li Pu was the card's information.

This was a B-level card!

[Holy Light Slime Person] -14 points, B

11+3/11

Attack 3, Defense 3

[Shield of Light]: The Holy Light Slime Person can refresh a [Shield] absorbing 3 points of damage each card reveal phase.

[Historic Light Hammer]: If the Holy Light Slime Person gains 2 shields in 1 round, the card's attack power permanently increases by 1 this match.

[Holy Light Faith]: The Holy Light Slime Person's health gets +1.

A B-level card, in this ranking match, after Brother Spare Me's Big Eye, Li Pu had only seen it for the second time.

[Snowflake Friends]: Wow, it's surprisingly a B-level card.

[Fluttering Giggles]: It should be a card from the Light Realm, just the appearance...

[Opposing Brother Spare Me]: Is it just the appearance? The name Slime Person is also quite...

[Heaven and Earth Man 021]: You guys don't get it, do you? Slime Person is considered a branch variant of slime.

[Steak Doesn't Know Battles]: I've heard about it too, and they're very strong, completely different from normal slimes.

The comments from the audience enlightened Li Pu a bit about the card's information, like its general origin.

Indeed, this card is strong.

But he always felt that using it in a 3+1 game might not be suitable.

Learning from the lesson of the third game with Wei Zhentian x6, the excessive uneven distribution of points in a 3+1 game could lead to severe imbalance.

Now, Ah Yajun revealing a 14-point card right away, this point ratio is even higher than Wei Zhentian x6's first reveal.

[Holy Light Slime Person], this type of card might be better utilized in a 6+1 or 9+1 game.

This line of thought is inevitable.

However, it doesn't mean Li Pu would underestimate the opponent because of this.

After all, having won all the way here, he knew these opponents would only become more challenging.

And even though both started by revealing a high-point card, Ah Yajun's tactical intention is clearly different from Wei Zhentian x6.

Wei Zhentian x6's first reveal of [Aggressive Pig Headed Man] was a card for its aggressive strategy.

Whereas this card, [Holy Light Slime Person], apparently doesn't pose any significant offensive threat.

Spending such a high-point card for defense made it a bit intriguing.

Once both sides revealed their cards, naturally, it moved on to the action phase.

[Mushroom Boom!]

Undoubtedly, the Mushroom Man, under Li Pu's direction, adopted a [Defense] stance.

Meanwhile, that Slime Person swung its hammer and charged forward.

[Holy Light... die for me!]

This guy's words and actions seemed seriously mismatched with its demeanor and appearance.

[Mushroom Boom!]

-1

The hammered Mushroom Man only lost 1 point of health, just a scratch.

Originally, Li Pu thought this round would just end like that, as the first action phase was typically a simple 1V1, you hit me, I hit you, without much delay.

But the result was far from what he imagined.

Just before the action phase was about to settle, Ah Yajun lifted his hand and pointed at the [Holy Light Slime Person] card.

Whoosh!

A tiny beam of light shot from his fingertip, hitting the card's surface.

Ding!

Then everyone saw the card as though it had been coated with a film, with a shimmer passing across.

[Holy Light Bo Bo!]

At the same time, a thin spherical protective shield descended upon the projection of the Slime Person, making it raise its hands in excitement.

"This isn't right."

Upon double-checking the information of [Holy Light Slime Person], Li Pu's expression finally changed.

Its stats had already changed.

[Holy Light Slime Person] -14 points, B

11+4/11

Attack 2+1, Defense 7

This card initially had only a +3 shield, but now it became +4.

Additionally, the attack power increased by 1, indicating it had already triggered its "gain 2 shields within 1 round, and the card's attack power permanently increases by 1 this match" trait.

So... did this opponent just add another shield to [Holy Light Slime Person]?

Clearly, Li Pu wasn't the only one who noticed this.

[Opposing Brother Spare Me]: What the heck is this!

[Snowflake Friends]: Something's off!

[Fluttering Giggles]: He can actually use cube card skills?!

The audience immediately discovered the answer, and were equally stunned by it.

[Heaven and Earth Man 021]: This is seriously wrong.

[Steak Doesn't Know Battles]: In the version update, it clearly stated...

[Fluttering Giggles]: Who exactly is this person? How can he go against the version?!?

[Snowflake Friends]: Never heard of someone challenging the authority of a cube card...

[Opposing Brother Spare Me]: Can this situation be reported? Is there a way to catch him for research?

Li Pu: "..."

Listening to the audience's comments, Li Pu felt a bit guilty.

Especially with Brother Spare Me's reporting proposal.

He thought to himself that every match, he used cube card skills right in front of them, it's just that they hadn't noticed.

However, as someone with both [Card Making] and [Card Replacing] skills, he could roughly figure out the cause and effect.

It's just that the opponent, like him, might also possess a summoning beast/magical beast lineage.

As the card community became more familiar with the new version, this would eventually not be a secret.

But that's a matter for the future, Li Pu knew what he needed to consider now was how to win the current game.
