This Summoner Is Too Powerful-Chapter 378 - 341: End of the First Round (Part 2)

Round 6, the [Mountain Swallowing Giant] could finally move.

The opponent still scraped 6 times, leaving it with 39 health points.

However, with one punch, it took out the opponent's [Guardian Stone Statue] + [Mudstone Monk].

Round 7, the [Mountain Swallowing Giant] couldn't act, was scraped 4 times, and had 41 health points remaining.

Round 8, the [Mountain Swallowing Giant] couldn't act, was scraped 4 times, and had 37 health points remaining.

Round 9, the [Mountain Swallowing Giant] couldn't act, was scraped 4 times, and had 33 health points remaining.

In Round 10, the [Mountain Swallowing Giant] acted again.

With a punch, it knocked out the [Stone God Follower] + [Stone Curse Horse], but got hit for 4 health points, leaving 29.

Looking at her nearly drained [Earth Mountain] and [Earth Elemental Leader], Wu Xing was silent.

At this point, she finally started calculating cards.

Since [Earth Mountain] just blocked [Earth Elemental Leader], making it unavailable for the opponent's attack, it would take 8 more rounds before both cards were smashed completely.

During these 8 rounds, [Earth Mountain] + [Earth Elemental Leader] could deal a total of 8+4, 12 points of damage.

By then, the [Mountain Swallowing Giant] would still have 15 health points left.

It might seem like her 20 life points trump card has the upper hand at first glance.

In fact, when the [Mountain Swallowing Giant] reveals her trump card, it will incidentally deal 15 points of damage.

By then it would be 15 health VS 5 health.

Even if she scratched, she would have no chance of winning.

"I... surrender."

After seeing this clearly, Wu Xing lowered her head.

At the same time, she entered the command to bring up the surrender button on the table and slapped it.

Vice President: [Oh oh oh! Here it comes! Our first winner has emerged!]

Vice President: [He is our Mush~ Match~ Swallow~ contestant!]

Li Pu: Hey, don't randomly change nicknames.

Card King He: [This round was truly a surprising twist.]

Card King He: [I didn't expect the Mush Match Swallow contestant to take such an all-or-nothing tactic.]

Li Pu: You shouldn't shout randomly either!

Vice President: [Indeed, every finalist has prepared thoroughly.]

Vice President: [We all saw both sides bring out new decks this match, it was very exciting.]

Vice President: [Actually, Wu Xing doesn't need to be discouraged, she has two more matches waiting for her.]

Card King He: [Yes, although it must be admitted that the Mush Match Swallow contestant is one step closer to the championship.]

Vice President: [Alright, let's take a short break to enjoy some commercials, oh no, performances.]

Vice President: [The next match will feature Ah Yajun and Ji Rougui.]

Card King He: [See you all later.]

Vice President: [Colleagues, have we decided where to party tonight?]

Card King He: [Vice President, you haven't turned off your mic.]

Vice President: [Hehehe, just joking, dear audience, just joking.]

Li Pu finished his first card match and returned to his lounge through the aisle.

In the lounge, Chang Shoushang and Jiang Guiju congratulated him.

Then Li Pu began studying the materials on Ah Yajun and Ji Rougui that the two had collected, waiting for the next match to begin.

After 40 minutes, Ah Yajun and Ji Rougui's match officially started.

Right off the bat, Ah Yajun surprised everyone.

Because this time he changed his usual style, opting for a more aggressive deck.

As for Ji Rougui, he continued using his Brotherly deck.

Li Pu was most concerned about Ji Rougui now, as he was his opponent in the next round.

The reason they both got corresponding nicknames in this tournament is because of the distinctive and fixed nature of their decks.

This Ji Rougui is even more exaggerated; at least Li Pu has switched decks before.

But Ji Rougui has been using the Brotherly deck from start to finish.

It was mentioned before that the Brotherly deck is actually a very small and rare branch.

Precisely because it's rare, the counter cards for it are very hard to find.

According to the information, Ji Rougui has not encountered a single card that counters the Brotherly deck since the group stage.

Thus, opponents can't target him through deck types, but can only approach him from a tactical direction.

However, Ji Rougui's tactics are numerous and varied, not giving people much of a chance.

In truth, including Li Pu, many people are curious where he got so many Brotherly cards.

But it has to be admitted, he indeed has the strength to reach the finals.

"Today's Ah Yajun seems unexpectedly aggressive."

Watching the match on the TV screen, Chang Shoushang reflected slightly.

After watching so many matches lately, he has gradually transformed from someone who knew nothing, to someone who doesn't know everything.

"I kind of feel… he seems a bit overexcited."

"Seems like he's enjoying the match."

"You can see, he's someone who loves playing cards."

Jiang Guiju shared his view.

"His strategy this match is quite smart." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Li Pu's comments were also positive.

In his view, at least in tactical thinking, Ah Yajun is a notch better than Ji Rougui.

Ah Yajun's card path differs greatly from Ji Rougui's Brotherly deck, but they both share one common trait.

That is in this tournament, their deck types are very fixed.

This leads to a problem: whether there are counter cards, as previously mentioned.

In the absence of counters against Brotherly decks, Ah Yajun chose a genuinely smart playing style.

Simply put, it's to lure Ji Rougui into targeting his Shield deck.

Of course, it can't really be called luring, as in this tournament, anyone facing Ah Yajun would make such a choice.

Under such a premise, Ah Yajun went the opposite way, abandoned his shield cards, and chose an aggressive deck.

Decks meant to counter shields are often functional-oriented, and functional decks are most afraid of aggressive decks.

This means Ah Yajun capitalized on the preconceived notions his past Shield deck accumulated and pinpointed Ji Rougui's tactical direction, achieving what many hadn't before.

That is accurately targeting Ji Rougui tactically.

"I find that aggressive play seems very suitable for Ah Yajun."

As the match progressed halfway, Chang Shoushang couldn't help but comment again.

The more extreme aggressive style is often dubbed a "one-wave" play.

Meaning, once this wave is finished, it's either you die or I die.

Ah Yajun now embraces this extreme style.

However, his advantage in being able to release [Shields] plays a massive role even within an aggressive framework.

Transitioning his deck from "after this wave, either you die or I die" to "after one wave, enduring without dying, then launching a second wave."

The extreme aggressive line is inherently very wild, and being able to hold out for a second burst makes it undoubtedly strong, very strong.

So under such circumstances, Ji Rougui finally fell apart completely.

In the 6th round, all his regular cards were smashed, while Ah Yajun still had 2 remaining cards with low health.

Perhaps to keep his cards a secret, Ji Rougui didn't continue further but chose to surrender instead.

"I believe this Ah Yajun may be your largest competitor."

As the match ended, Jiang Guiju gave his opinion.

"I agree, he looks more competitive than that Ji Rougui."

"From decks to skills, he's noticeably better."

Chang Shoushang expressed his agreement.

"As for him, I'll keep watching."

Li Pu leaned back, closed his eyes, and rested.

According to the schedule, his match was still some time away.

Ah Yajun and Ji Rougui just completed the first round.

The beginning of the second round is Ah Yajun vs. Wu Xing.

After that, it's his turn against Ji Rougui.

After enjoying another 40 minutes of commercials and performances, the second round officially began.

Ah Yajun and Wu Xing both took to the stage.
