This Summoner Is Too Powerful-Chapter 394 - 348: What Is an S-Rank Card?_2
The savage nature was accompanied by an undeniable sharpness and a sense of oppression.
The audience was alright; upon seeing the projection, they only felt their heartbeat and breathing become slightly heavier.
However, the response from pets, summoned beasts, and such was much more intense. Some struggled to break free from their owners, some shivered and couldn’t bear to look directly, and some were almost scared to the point of wetting themselves.
If the reason was that this was an S-level card, possessing such a majestic presence, the crowd could accept it internally.
But what shocked them was another matter—right now, there were a total of three projections on Li Pu’s side of the table!
Apart from the Dragon Lady Tree, there were also two Mushroom People!
[Mushroom Dada!] x2
These were exactly the [Great Wood Mushroom] and [Stonebreak Mushroom] that had exited the playfield earlier!
They were now standing in their original positions, with a small halo floating above their heads.
"Revival card?!"
"What... how can you even play?!"
Someone in the audience voiced everyone’s thoughts.
Following this, the information of the S-level card unfolded.
[Dragon Lady Tree]
Wisdom, 10 points, S
Attack 20, 160/200, 14/10
[Dragon Power Blessing - Passive]: When a seventh series card is revealed by your side, Dragon Lady Tree gains an additional 4 energy points.
[Moving Mountains and Changing Wood - Passive]: When Dragon Lady Tree is revealed, temporarily revive one Earth-type and one Wood-type card on the table for 5 turns before they automatically exit.
[Ghost Step Phantom - 2 Energy]: Dragon Lady Tree can [Move] to any empty position on the field, dodging all direct attacks that turn.
[Dragon Dance - 4 Energy]: When Dragon Lady Tree’s health is below 50%, initiate an indiscriminate attack on all revealed cards in play, with single target damage equal to 50% of attack power.
Just as that spectator mentioned, this is no longer a fair game.
You see, Wisdom cards are generally known for their functionality, as is reflected in [Dragon Lady Tree].
But an S-level Wisdom card has 2 passive and 2 active skills, each more outstanding than the last.
To reveal [Dragon Lady Tree] in its strongest form, Li Pu did a lot of preparation.
Even before the match started, Li Pu had decided to play [Dragon Lady Tree] as his last insurance.
Therefore, this deck, including [Dragon Lady Tree] itself, was equipped with a complete set of seven series cards.
He also prepared the Wood-type card [Great Wood Mushroom], and swapped in the Earth-type card [Stonebreak Mushroom], to maximize the temporary revival effect.
As for the ability to move positions and avoid attacks with [Ghost Step Phantom], there’s no need to elaborate.
This [Move] feature is exclusive in Li Pu’s card pool.
According to Li Fan, the only person who saw this card, even a collection fanatic like Xiu Cangjia might not have this functionality.
The last move [Dragon Dance] is equally sharp; the more cards in play, the greater the total damage inflicted, and because it’s an area attack, it can even overturn cards in the distance.
It doesn’t just expose the opponent’s trump cards; it catches them off-guard, leaving no time to exchange cards. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
"..."
At this moment, Ah Yajun is the one feeling the most agonized.
In the last round, he clearly had the upper hand, and yet a single card from the opponent turned the outcome around.
The simpler the layout on the table, the clearer the situation.
[Dragon Lady Tree] (10 attack) + [Great Wood Mushroom] (30 attack) + [Stonebreak Mushroom] (10 attack), breaking through defenses with a total of 50 attack power.
This round, Mush Armor can have up to 50 [Shield] points at most. Once this round is over, the next round [Golden King Shield] won’t have enough energy to release the [Shield] skill again.
So, Mush Armor will undoubtedly retreat after two rounds.
The remaining [Golden King Shield] has only 85 health points left. Under the concentrated fire of three cards on the opposite side, it can’t last more than 3 rounds, and even if it does, it will be drained, allowing [Dragon Lady Tree] to easily finish it off with some additional damage.
The other 2-point trump card remaining is utterly worthless; it’s impossible for it to win against [Dragon Lady Tree].
"I... concede."
So after a brief calculation, Ah Yajun lowered his head.
The strength of the cards is indeed a representation of power, and he admitted defeat with conviction.
Upon his surrender, the announcement from the commentator resounded throughout the venue.
Vice President: [We have... we have a winner! The champion of this tournament!]
Vice President: [Everyone, the Cubic Card circuit of this Southwest Star Cup has finally concluded!]
Wu Xing: ???
Ji Rougui: ???
Vice President: [Let us congratulate Mo Sai Gu for becoming the champion!]
He Pai Wang: [And congratulations to Ah Yajun for securing second place!]
The final words from He Pai Wang truly felt harmonious.
"Finally, it’s no easy feat..."
Upon hearing the announcement, Li Pu felt a rush of emotions.
The 500k he’d been dreaming of for so long was finally within reach.
"Congratulations."
At this moment, Ah Yajun approached to shake his hand.
"Thank you, you were really strong too."
Li Pu’s smile was incredibly genuine and joyful at this moment.
"Next time I take the field, I’ll defeat you."
Ah Yajun’s eyes were bright, looking at his lifelong rival (?).
He was destined to be someone who wouldn’t be knocked down; the more failures he faced, the more determined he was to rise again.
"Alright, next time I won’t hold back either."
Li Pu had grown to admire this opponent somewhat.
So the two, in good spirits, stepped down from the game table.
Next up was the battle for third and fourth places.
The process is briefly skipped.
Wu Xing: ???
Ji Rougui: ???
Eventually, Wu Xing snatched a small victory over Ji Rougui, making the latter swallow the bitter result of losing 0-3 in the finals.
Wu Xing: That was a good move.
Ji Rougui: ...
As for the awards ceremony afterwards, Li Pu didn’t even attend.
After a heavy weight lifted, the fatigue accumulated over so many days hit him, and he’d already returned to his dorm for a deep sleep.
By the time he slept through to noon the next day, this Southwest Star Cup was completely over.
Jiang Guiju, who collected the prize on behalf of him, held the 500k Crystal Coin fortune, feeling anxious for a long time, just waiting in the dorm for Li Pu to wake up.
Once the Crystal Coin was exchanged, she breathed a sigh of relief.
In the afternoon, both Wu Xing and Ji Rougui came to visit, engaging in some friendly exchanges with Li Pu.
Both were from one of the top ten academies in the Huaxia District and extended invitations to him to come exchange card skills sometime, which Li Pu gladly accepted.
As for Ah Yajun, he did not come, only leaving a message saying Li Pu must find him if he ever visits the capital.
It’s said this guy had already rushed back in a hurry to continue honing his skills.
After sending off a few people, Li Fan finally appeared late.
He took Li Pu to the Cubic Card Association in Central City to complete offline performance certification.
Unlike playing ranked matches in the Cubic Card world, offline matches are more serious and have higher prestige, so the results are more recognized.
With this tournament’s comprehensive evaluation, Li Pu ultimately jumped two minor ranks and one major rank, reaching Platinum 3.
Otherwise, if it were in the Cubic Card world, achieving Platinum 3 from Gold 3 could have taken him hundreds or even thousands of games.
It’s heard that the other three top-four players besides Ji Rougui, two were also set to Platinum.
Ah Yajun Platinum 4, Wu Xing Platinum 5.
Ji Rougui: ???, muscles are innocent!
After finishing this, Li Fan then took Li Pu + Jiang Guiju + Chang Shoushang back on their journey.
What puzzled Li Pu was that Xiu Cangjia, who had been inseparable from Li Fan these days, didn’t even come to say goodbye.
It turned out that this guy was not done having fun in the Central City, having already left Li Fan to continue partaking in nightlife on his own.
The four took the early morning high-speed train, returning to Xidu University just before dawn.
But instead of going back to the dorm, Li Pu said goodbye to the others and rushed with his summoned beasts to the Fury Hall.
Although the seven great halls are open 24 hours, Fury Hall was empty at this time.
He pushed open the door, his gaze fixed directly on the massive thorn scale at the center of the venue.
"Little baby, I’m here."
[Damn it!]
