This time, Ah Yajun turned over another card of a historical figure.

But the attire was quite different, wearing a robe resembling that of a priest. Judging by the curves, it seemed to be a female historical figure.

Her hands held a thick book, with writing resembling water droplets, clearly not in the language of the Federation.

Looking at the card information, this indeed wasn't the same card.

[Holy Literary and Historical Figure] - 8 points, C

10/10

Attack 0, Defense 4

[Literary and Historical Art]: Holy Healing Figure can deal 1 point of [Healing] to a target.

[Historical Figure Companion]: When the Holy Healing Figure [Heals] a historical figure, it adds an extra point.

"This..."

Li Pu hadn't expected the opponent to also unveil a healing card.

And it's a C-level one, with better quality and effect than his own [Healing Mushroom].

Also healing for 2 life points, but [Holy Literary and Historical Figure] doesn't lose health.

The card Ah Yajun revealed sparked a lot of discussions among spectating players.

[Snowflake Friends]: This card flip confirms that a prolonged battle is inevitable.

[Fluttering Laughter]: This time, the plain card revealed doesn't serve a countering effect.

[Merciful Brother Opposite]: In terms of endurance battle, the historical figure side is superior.

[Steak Master without Strategy]: Tsk tsk, is the eight-win streak going to end?

[Sentimental Man 021]: Don't judge too soon, there are still two cards unrevealed.

Li Pu was expected to pull out a counter card, but it was a healing card seen in previous rounds.

In a straightforward 2V2 scenario, his two D-level cards surely can't win against the B+C combination opposite.

"So many good cards indeed."

Li Pu couldn't help but exclaim at the difference in quality.

"You're too kind, it's all thanks to senior students guiding me," Ah Yajun responded honestly.

Just as someone said before, this series of cards came from a minor Light Realm dungeon.

With his summoning beast strength, without the help of senior students, he couldn't have acquired these cards.

The starting point was different for both sides. Although Li Pu might handle those monsters, he currently had no opportunity to enter dungeons for collecting cards.

Now, with two cards revealed each, it's halfway through the card flipping.

[Healing Mushroom] being revealed, Ah Yajun could finally relax.

[Holy Light Figure] will have 4 shield points each turn, while [Shield Mushroom] + [Healing Mushroom] has a total attack power of only 4 points, meaning their attacks can just barely chip away at the shield.

So he confidently controlled [Holy Light Figure] to strike [Shield Mushroom] again, while Li Pu could only have [Shield Mushroom] continue defending.

[Crawl Bo!]

[Mushroom Da Da!]

-1

The second round ended again with [Shield Mushroom] losing 1 health alone.

Adding last round makes it a total loss of 2 health, but healed back by [Healing Mushroom] this round.

Ultimately, the result was effectively [Healing Mushroom] losing 1 point of life.

The bad news was [Holy Light Figure]'s attack increased by 1 point again.

If this continues, its threat will only grow.

From the cards alone, Li Pu's disadvantage was apparent.

But at this point, even the spectating players fell silent.

In a 3+1 format, it's not that complicated; often the win or loss is quite obvious, so many players won't waste time and directly surrender.

Yet Li Pu showed no sign of yielding, his stance remained calm, prompting some to suspect he might still have an ace up his sleeve.

The key was everyone knew that the match where [Shield Mushroom] + [Healing Mushroom] VS [Holy Light Figure] + [Holy Literary and Historical Figure] would take at least ten turns to reach a conclusion.

That long is just enough for Li Pu to maneuver.

The action turn settlement marked the end of the second round, and the third card reveal phase began.

This time Li Pu didn't hesitate, pressing on the third card to complete the replacement.

He already decided on which card to exchange last round.

[Holy Light Bo Bo!]

The card that was first revealed was on Ah Yajun's side.

His third card was obviously another Holy series historical figure.

This historical figure projection wore priestly attire similar to [Holy Literary and Historical Figure], but there was a tall hat on its slime head, and its hands were empty.

Judging by appearance, this seemed to be a support-oriented card.

After the projection solidified completely, Li Pu glanced at the card information.

[Holy Sacrificial Figure] - 8 points, C

7/7

Attack 0+1, Defense 4

[Great Sacrifice]: Holy Sacrificial Figure increases allies revealed historical figure cards' attack by +1

[Faith Cost]: Holy Sacrificial Figure's life points further decreased by 3

"..."

Li Pu felt a bit frustrated.

Yet another C-level card, this guy has so many good cards.

[Fluttering Laughter]: Finally, it's here, a Bond card!

[Snowflake Friends]: So even an 8-point card can be a Bond card? I thought Bond cards were expensive.

[Sentimental Man 021]: With the Bond effect, it's clear the plan is to speed things up.

The version update notes indicated that Bond mechanics would be removed, transferring effects to cards.

Meaning, in previous versions, these Bond cards didn't exist.

Yet, just as the Bond effects are difficult to piece together, Bond cards are a rare existence.

Despite witnessing many of Li Pu's matches, this was the first time anyone saw someone pull a Bond card.

Thanks to Ah Yajun, they finally got to see a Bond card in action from the new version.

Don't underestimate a mere +1 attack, and this is just in a 3+1 game.

But what if it was 6+1, 9+1 with all historical figure cards?

That'd be a total increase of 7/10 attack points, effectively gaining 7/10 points over the opponent.

Bond cards, how could they not be powerful?

Moreover, in their opinion, Ah Yajun's card configuration was very reasonable.

The cumulative build-up strategy with [Holy Light Figure] as core is most vulnerable to running out of time.

Plainly, despite being strong, this strategy often loses by taking too long to build up.

Before it's fully grown, it might get taken down by the opponent.

If [Holy Sacrificial Figure] appears, it effectively speeds up the build-up cycle, even if by just 1 turn.

Sometimes the difference between winning and losing is merely 1 faster or 1 slower turn.

However, Li Pu facing the opponent's complete set of regular cards wasn't planning to back down.

Beating a build-up strategy comes down to two methods.

One being rapid attack to win before the build-up completes.

The other is armor against armor, shield against shield, a head-to-head clash.

Li Pu doesn't have rapid attack cards, so he opted for the second method.

[Gaw Aw!]

After a hoarse roar, a slightly damaged humanoid beast crawled onto his card face.

If the opponent was going for a prolonged battle, he'd stay the course.

Not afraid at all.
