The undead beast, a rather fierce magical beast.

It frequently appears in lifeless environments or underworld-related instances, being classified as an undead, nether-type magical beast.

Due to numerous film and TV works, the public generally has a poor impression of these creatures.

However, after actual encounters, Li Pu feels he has a bit of a say.

The undead beast, in reality, is a relatively weak magical beast, at least the ones he has encountered are like this.

They move sluggishly, and have slow reactions.

Rumors of viruses and corpse poison are just that—rumors.

Speaking of advantages, it's their tenacious vitality.

You could even call it vigorous; losing limbs doesn't affect their survival.

Another point is that they seem to have exceptionally long lifespans.

Burying themselves completely in the soil for a long time might even gradually strengthen them.

So perhaps those mentions of centenary corpse kings and millenary corpse kings in the works of fiction aren't entirely baseless.

[Grr-ao!]

However, the undead beast projection that Li Pu had crawling out from the card face at the moment seemed a bit special.

Its size was very small, like a tiny miniature humanoid, not even one-third the height of those two mushroom men.

After crawling onto the card face, it hobbled a couple of steps.

Li Pu wasn't afraid of such an ugly thing, instead, perhaps because they were both hobbling, he felt a slight sense of kindred spirit.

He couldn't help but wonder if he might want to have an undead-type summoned beast one day, should the opportunity arise.

But that's a matter for the future, now it's important to focus on the card game.

[Gah-gah!]

After walking a couple of steps within the card limits, the little undead beast suddenly crouched down.

Li Pu knew this wasn't a defensive move; rather, this fellow was just really shy.

With the crouching visual effect, its card face information was also revealed.

[Shy Undead]-13 points, C

12/12

Atk 4, Def 1

[Fragile Body]: Shy Undead gets an extra +2 to life points, but defense can't be higher than 1.

[Growth-Type Undead Beast]: Shy Undead gains +2 attack / +1 life points for each turn not attacked or damaged, growth completely halts upon receiving damage or taking any [action].

The emergence of this card finally sparked discussions among the spectators once more.

[Brother Across the Way Have Mercy]: Uh, this...!

[Snowflake Friends]: I said that's why he's not surrendering, turns out he had such a hidden card.

[Floating Haha]: A charged card against another charged card, now the outcome is unpredictable.

[Heaven and Earth Sentiment Guy 021]: However… don't you find something odd here?

[Steak Doesn't Know Formation]: I agree, how does he always have the right card ready every time?

[Brother Across the Way Have Mercy]: What's there to discuss, just luck.

[Snowflake Friends]: Yeah, yeah, unless he can predict the future or something.

[Heaven and Earth Sentiment Guy 021]: Haha, that's impossible, too far-fetched.

[Floating Haha]: I don't believe it either, I'd rather think he's secretly swapping cards.

"..."

Listening to everyone's comments inadvertently hitting the truth, Li Pu felt a little sweaty.

But fortunately, in this cubic card world, it didn't show.

This undead beast card was synthesized by him through [Card Making].

The synthesis formula was [Big Undead Beast] + [Shy Flower] = [Shy Undead]

Among them, [Big Undead Beast] was from the giant undead beast encountered last time when entering the Little Yama Realm with Senior Wang Nuonuo.

At the time of taking it down, it didn't seem like much, thought it was just an average undead beast that grew too fast (?).

But after leaving the instance and sorting the card gains, he discovered it wasn't an ordinary undead beast.

As a C-level card, [Big Undead Beast] gains a life point bonus for each turn.

Meanwhile, [Shy Flower] was a magical beast from the Southern Forest.

Despite being called a flower, it isn't rooted; it's a walking plant-type magical beast using its roots and branches like limbs.

The main feature of this flower is that it bends its head, curling up into a ball when encountering strangers, looking very shy.

But if you're intimidated by its appearance, you're frightfully mistaken.

When first encountered, it punched a strawman flying ten meters away, possessing considerable strength.

After more encounters, Li Pu grasped the flower's characteristics.

Its head-bowing pose is similar to a charging move, the longer it bows, the more powerful the release.

To deal with this magical beast, the trick is to attack once detecting its bowing pose, not allowing time for it to charge.

Otherwise, it's best to detour around it.

Even the Southern Forest Bully Strawman got hit flying.

The card's effect is that when not attacked/damaged and without taking any [attack][defense] actions, it gains 2 points of attack per turn.

The compatibility between [Big Undead Beast] and [Shy Flower] was good, so Li Pu fused them together.

Moreover, another important point was that their synthesis card was worth 13 points, like [Blast Aphid].

This was crucial as cards of different points couldn't be exchanged through [Substitute Card], regardless of being more or less.

Actually, C-level cards are currently Li Pu's highest card level.

Besides [Blast Aphid], he had only a handful of C-level cards.

If Ah Yajun's second card revealed was not a harmless healing card, he wouldn't have dared to play this card.

Since any attack renders [Shy Undead] completely useless, its initial stats are poor.

In earlier rounds, Li Pu faced opponents with area attacks and [Piercing] abilities.

So seeing Ah Yajun's third card as [Holy Ritual Scholar], he was somewhat relieved.

In this case, he bet correctly.

Currently, the match on the board was as follows:

[Holy Ritual Scholar] 7/7

[Holy Text Scholar] 10/10

[Holy Light Scholar] 11+4/11

[Shield Mushroom] 10/10

[Healing Mushroom] 9/10

[Shy Undead] 12/12

For a moment, the entire scene became quite enigmatic.

[Brother Across the Way Have Mercy]: Elite seniors, I'm getting a bit confused now.

[Brother Across the Way Have Mercy]: Who's going to win?

[Snowflake Friends]: This... is really hard to say.

[Floating Haha]: A multi-variable math application problem, my brain feels like it's about to explode.

[Heaven and Earth Sentiment Guy 021]: Without paper and pen, ordinary people can't calculate it out.

[Steak Doesn't Know Formation]: Fine, let's just watch.

Just as someone said, it's a multi-variable math application problem.

In the numerous future rounds, determining which growing side would have the upper hand.

Fortunately, Li Pu's mind was fairly sharp, otherwise his entrance results wouldn't be the top in the school.

Before deciding to switch to this card, he already spent some time calculating the result in his mind.
