That's right, this time the card Li Pu unveiled was not a mushroom card, but a plant card.

He's not stupid. Most of the mushroom cards have already been exposed, so why bring them out again to be targeted?

[Chew Chew~]

At this moment, the card he unveiled revealed a large plant with a bud-shaped mouth.

It had small root-like legs and a stem with only two large leaves, but the most striking feature was the huge bud on top.

The bud's opening resembled a mouth, and when it slightly opened and closed, you could see rows of triangular sharp teeth inside.

The Big Mouth Flower, a relatively common yet powerful plant-type beast from the southern forest.

Its mobility is severely lacking, but it's a creature that other beasts often dare not provoke.

This is because the Big Mouth Flower sacrifices mobility in exchange for formidable combat abilities.

It eats anything; any living creature that gets close is considered food by it.

To the surrounding audience, Li Pu's first unveiled card seemed quite typical.

Basically, any dedicated card cube enthusiast would own this card.

[Big Mouth Flower] -10 points

10/10

Attack 4+2, Defense 6, Range 0

[Root Bound]: The Big Mouth Flower can attack with a range of 1 every 3 turns.

[Power of Food]: The Big Mouth Flower gains 1 attack power for every 4 health points it has.

The advantages and disadvantages of this card are very clear.

The advantage is its decent defense, along with bonus attack power.

In casual card battles among classmates, many people like to use it as a trump card.

After all, with a 50 health bonus, it can wield a +12 attack power, which is quite terrifying.

In normal situations, conventional cards struggle to withstand a single hit from it.

The downside is that its basic attack range is 0.

This means, in reality, the card is incapable of initiating attacks.

It can only rely on its ability to get an attack opportunity every 3 turns.

[Actually, the Big Mouth Flower, compared to regular positions, is more suited as a trump card]

At this point, the host began to analyze for the audience.

What he said was actually correct. Some cards may look unimpressive in regular positions or quite weak, but when placed as a trump card, they become exceptionally fitting, just like the Big Mouth Flower.

[But since Li Pu revealed the Big Mouth Flower, it means he must have an even stronger trump card]

[And the key thing is, compared to it, Tian's Skeleton Hulk is completely useless!]

What he said was also right.

[Skeleton Solo Guard] is actually quite an extreme card.

When the number of revealed cards on both sides is equal, its attack power is completely 0.

With such a card, no matter how high its defense is, it doesn't matter. Even if someone else's Big Mouth Flower can attack once every 3 turns, it will slowly scrape you to death.

Moreover, Li Pu wouldn't be silly enough to attack the Skeleton Solo Guard, it's much better to directly attack the other two cover cards in the front row.

It must be admitted that, in this first round of the game, he held a complete advantage.

However, Senior Tian does have a deeper card pool than Li Pu.

Subsequently, what he unveiled were all skeleton cards.

And their strength was not low; among them, some cards could more or less counteract linked effects and even counter mushroom cards.

[Mushroom Picking Skeleton] -7 points

10/10

Attack 4, Defense 3, Range 1

[Step on Mushrooms]: When Mushroom Picking Skeleton attacks mushroom cards, it ignores distance.

[Picking Mushrooms]: When Mushroom Picking Skeleton attacks mushroom cards, it ignores their armor, and deals an extra +3 damage.

[Skeleton]: When Mushroom Picking Skeleton is dismissed, it will produce a "Bone Fragment".

The name may seem a bit quirky, but in reality, it's a counter card aimed at mushrooms.

Fortunately, Li Pu was prepared and did not bring any linked or mushroom cards in this game.

Even though his conventional deck's average combat power was slightly lower than the opponent's, due to the huge advantage gained in the first round, his battle with Senior Tian was evenly matched.

[Deng~ Deng~ Deng~]

[Kala la...!]

As Li Pu's [Jumping Snake] dragged Senior Tian's [Rogue Skeleton] into mutual destruction, both parties' last conventional cards exited the game.

[Fellow students, this is truly rare!]

[I didn't expect this match to be so evenly balanced and so fierce!]

[A King vs. King scenario has emerged!]

The host's emotion grew increasingly excited.

"I didn't expect this freshman to reach this level against Senior Tian."

"Maybe, he really has a chance to achieve 6 consecutive wins?"

"No way? As far as I remember, no one has reached 5 consecutive wins at the market for a long time."

"Oh my goodness, who will win in the end."

The spectators were also quite enthusiastic.

King vs. King refers to when all conventional cards on the field have exited, leaving only two yet-to-be-revealed trump cards.

In this scenario, the next round will automatically unveil both trump cards.

At that point, it will be a pure and true trump card 1V1 duel.

"It really is a spectacular match."

At one end of the card table, Senior Tian crossed his arms and smiled.

His demeanor showed complete confidence.

Li Pu wasn't actually surprised at his opponent's attitude.

He even had some guesses.

Before the game began, this senior had mentioned showing him the 'true sacrifice flow', but it hadn't been showcased even after all his conventional cards were gone.

Clearly, the yet-to-be-revealed trump card is the core of his sacrifice flow.

Moreover, Li Pu also noticed that all of Senior Tian's skeleton cards had a skill.

[Skeleton]: When Skeleton Guard exits, it will produce a "Bone Fragment".

He didn't know if it was the opponent's deliberately chosen cards, or if skeleton cards inherently have this skill.

This so-called "Bone Fragment" refers to a small bone fragment projection appearing at the original card position when a skeleton card exits.

However, based on its attack range when displayed, these "Bone Fragments" do not count towards the distance, meaning they do not occupy card positions.

Having not encountered skeleton-type cards before, nor knowing the related knowledge, Li Pu thought these "Bone Fragments" were either related to kinships or the sacrifice flow.

What he didn't know, though, was that because of the special mechanism of "Bone Fragments", there isn't a general sense of kinship among skeleton cards.

Or, one could say that dropping "Bone Fragments" is a different way to manifest the kinship of skeleton cards.

There might be some kinship effects among certain specific skeleton cards, but few people know about them.

Li Pu actually didn't think too much about it because once both trump cards were unveiled, he got the answer.

[Wah ka ka ka!]

Before showing any projection, the trump card Senior Tian revealed emitted sound first. The laughter was bizarre and made everyone feel a bit creeped out.

"What a creepy laugh..."

"Why does it sound a bit familiar?"

"Now that you mentioned, I think so too."

"Right! I think I saw it on the card channel on TV!"

"What?! Could it be that card?!"

"Oh man, now that you say it, it might really be this thing!"

"Senior Tian is going places; to think he collected that card?!"

Some loyal fans of the card channel had already figured out the true nature of the card.

However, Li Pu rarely watched it, so he didn't know.

[Old Tian, Old Tian, it seems you have big ambitions this semester.]

Even the host's tone had changed at this point, seemingly forgetting he was holding a microphone.

This made Li Pu even more curious.

What exactly was his opponent's trump card, could it be more powerful than his?
