This Summoner Is Too Powerful-Chapter 447 - 373: Admit Defeat, Child
"Even though a covered card on Paddle Stick's side got knocked out first, it's not a loss."
"Yeah, that sly guy switched it with a 1-point useless card."
"I get the feeling that the next round spells real danger for the Limping One."
The three onlookers whispered amongst themselves, gradually leaning towards Paddle Stick's side.
Because next round, [Ghostly Tiger] can come out again, and once it does, Li Pu is sure to lose a card.
"Well played."
However, Paddle Stick Teacher still praised Li Pu.
He could see his [Ghost Knight] had caught the opponent off guard.
Then the opponent chose to knock out his own covered card instead of reducing [Ghostly Tiger]'s health to zero and forcing himself to lose a card.
It was a wise choice because if that half-hearted covered card wasn't knocked out, next round it would certainly be replaced with a useful card and then revealed.
This would mean not just another card threat for Li Pu, but also giving [Ghostly Tiger] another chance to devour.
"Teacher, please."
Li Pu, noncommittal, gestured for the game to continue.
In the next round, both sides pulled out a group healing card to try and stabilize their setups. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
But in the round after that, Paddle Stick Teacher pulled out an effect card Li Pu hadn't seen before, [Ban Heal] card.
Which makes the designated card unable to receive healing effects.
Li Pu was not to be outdone, pulling out a [Silence] card, which prevents the target card from activating its active skills.
But with the damage immunity provided by [Ghostly Tiger], Li Pu was still at a disadvantage.
So the subsequent course of the game indeed developed in favor of Paddle Stick Teacher.
After several more rounds, the game board was as follows:
Points used: 86, Remaining points: 14
[Empty][Covered][Empty]
[Empty][Revealed][Empty]
[Empty][Revealed][Empty]
[Empty][Tiger][Empty]
VS
[Empty][Empty][Empty]
[Empty][Empty][Empty]
[Empty][Revealed][Empty]
[Covered][Covered][Empty]
Points used: 90, Remaining points: 10
Whether in terms of points or cards, Li Pu's disadvantage was clear as day.
The positions of both trump cards were basically confirmed, both in the middle column.
Only Li Pu still had a slim chance, possibly in his left column.
"It's over, it's over..."
Seeing this situation, Guan Heshi kept covering his forehead repeatedly.
It seemed like his cherished eighth strategy was not going to last.
"Why, not admitting defeat even now?"
"I know you still have an S-grade [Dragon Lady Tree] unrevealed, but it can't save you anymore."
On Paddle Stick Teacher's side, he already showed a smile of certain victory.
At the game table, he truly admired this student.
His style was bold yet considered, with that occasional damned bit of acting flair.
One has to admit, very promising and full of potential.
But potential, until fulfilled, is never actual strength.
Paddle Stick Teacher thought Li Pu ultimately lost due to shallow accumulation.
Among nine regular cards, the highest was a B-grade card, not even an A-grade.
How could he possibly defeat his own strongest card set?
"Teacher, the game isn't over yet."
However, facing this situation, Li Pu remained calm as ever.
