Completing a card fusion in an instant undoubtedly requires a certain level of proficiency.
Despite his young age, this guy clearly isn’t coming empty-handed!
I’ll have to take the upcoming round seriously.
"Mr. Jade Hand, don’t allow any extra ti in the next round."
"Right, right, right. We can’t let the other party’s little sche succeed."
"If you lose the duel for that reason, it would be outrageous."
Sure enough, soone in the audience tily provided him a way out.
"Indeed, after all, this duel involves honor and chips."
"So, young man, I hope you won’t bla for going all out."
Mr. Jade Hand smiled and closed his fan.
"Alright, bring it on."
Ree Shil also knew of these kinds of trick play, which could only be used once.
So, at the signal of the dueling individuals, the staff once again started the card dispenser.
[E-Class Material, 100 cards]
[Two-player Ga]
Swish, swish, swish...!
A fresh stack of 100 cards was once again distributed to the players.
Mr. Jade Hand didn’t waste ti with talk and imdiately got to work.
Firstly, with a single swipe, he fanned his cards out into an arch for easy viewing.
Then, he skimd his gaze over them and picked out one.
[Porcupine Quill], a single long spine that fades from black to grey.
Quickly, he found the pair for it to his mory.
[Small Iron Nugget], an irregular iron piece about the size of an almond.
Actually, with these cheap low-level material cards, one can summarize experiences after fusing many tis.
Fortunately, Mr. Jade Hand is a Formula Master skilled at summarizing experiences.
Adding to that his vast knowledge in various formula theories, he was able to see that the end structure of the long spine matched the shape of the iron piece perfectly.
So, he stacked the two cards on the table and pressed his hand onto them.
Hum!
A glow leaked out from between his palm and the Table.
A [Crude Dart] was born.
Even though they couldn’t see the new content of the fusion card, the audience couldn’t help but cheer for him.
"Mr. Jade Hand is truly deserving of his na; every closure is always so impressive!"
"It’s over. It looks like Mr.Jade Hand doesn’t want to lose either. He’s planning on revealing his real Kung Fu."
"Father-level Figures are indeed deserving of their reputation."
Amidst the audience’s gaze, Mr. Jade Hand perford as if he had divine assistance.
With one card fusion after another, his movents got faster and faster.
In the end, only a quarter of the sand in the hourglass had trickled down when he had completed 13 cards.
"Please."
With these results, he paid his respects to Ree Shil.
The audience was ignited.
"Wow, 13 successful cards!"
"If I could get 3 cards right among 100, I would be grateful."
"Today, I’m truly lucky to have witnessed this duel. No, I should say I’m lucky to have seen Mr. Jade Hand go into action! This success rate is a record!"
Hearing these comnts, Mr. Jade Hand was secretly pleased.
Face, isn’t this what it’s all about?
The highest record in the club was indeed held by him previously.
At that ti, of the 100 cards, those with superior compatibility were plentiful. He had successfully produced 12 cards.
This deck, as he saw it, was even better than last ti.
Having succeeded 13 tis, he believed it to be the limit of these 100 cards.
Even if, on the off chance, the opponent was a master player.
At most, the opponent could match his 13 successful cards and end in a draw with him.
So Mr. Jade Hand was completely at ease now.
Moreover, he did not believe the opponent could produce 13 successful cards.
His gaze shifted to the opponent across the table. Ree Shil’s hands were still shuffling the cards.
From the start of the duel, he had been constantly shuffling the cards.
Not for showing off, it was simply pure repeated shuffling.
Mr. Jade Hand couldn’t understand it and even began suspecting that Ree Shil was planning to make the cards soft with constant handling.
"I think that he is just trying to buy ti."
"True, a clever trick could win once but not every ti."
"If he doesn’t concede, we’ll just have to wait until the ti runs out."
The audience was whispering among themselves.
However, Ree Shil ignored it, only calmly and silently shuffling the cards.
His fingertips brushed over each Material Card while his mind worked quickly on the card-making panel.
Finally, the situation changed when half of the sand in the hourglass had slipped away.
He stopped shuffling, grabbing the entire deck in his hand.
The way he picked up the cards wasn’t by cradling them, but by grabbing the side of the deck.
In doing so, the side edges of every card could possibly co in contact with his hand.
Driven by thought, light began to flash.
Hum!
A slight change crossed the expression of Jade Hand Master, this light was too familiar to him.
It was the glow of successful card-making!
At this ti, Ree Shil raised his idle hand and flicked a card from the deck with his finger.
Whiz!
Without even realizing what technique he was using, they saw a card was shot out and fell on the table.
"One card."
His voice was not loud, but it was nonetheless emphatic.
Although they couldn’t see the card face, the sowhat different texture of the card had already proven that this card was successfully fused.
Hum!
Whiz!
"Two cards."
Before the audience could even react, a second successful card was shot out.
Hum!
Whiz!
"Three cards."
"...."xN
Hum!
Whiz!
"Four cards."
"???"xN
Sowhere along the way, the area surrounding the table fell into utter silence.
(Could it be...?)
The Show Director’s heart drastically pounded several tis as she watched this scene unfold in the crowd.
(Could his confidence from before, actually be real?)
She didn’t even dare to think further, because just imagining it made her extrely thrilled.
Hum!
Whiz!
"Five cards."
Hum!
Whiz!
"Six cards."
And so, one successful card after another continuously popped out.
The audience watched with eyes wide, not daring to even blink.
Hum!
Whiz!
"Ten cards."
"Hiss!"xN
As the number of successful cards produced by Ree Shil reached ten, the entire audience began to feel tense.
Many people finally ca to realize sothing.
This obscure youngster really had sothing!
His score now was very close to that of Jade Hand Master!
This competition was truly worth watching!
Hum!
Whiz!
"Eleven cards."
Hum!
Whiz!
"Twelve cards."
At this ti, there was still about a quarter of the ti left before the hourglass ended, and the ergence of the eleventh and twelfth cards, felt like heavy hamrs pounding on the hearts of the audience.
Even Jade Hand Master himself hadn’t anticipated when he beca nervous, swallowing involuntarily.
He knew that as long the opponent made one more card.
The opponent would reach the limit of the number of successful cards out of a hundred, tying the score with his own.
Hum!
Whiz!
"Thirteen cards."
As expected, the thirteenth successful card was smoothly produced.
"Whoa!"xN
The audience let out a gasp, completely shocked and at a loss for words.
But what was even more shocking was that they found out that Ree Shil looked as if he had no intention of stopping yet!
