At this mont, Wu Xing couldn't hide the smile on her face.
She didn't doubt Li Pu's skills at all. The fact that he dared to bring out this deck in the finals definitely ant he had so confidence.
But she had even more confidence herself.
"You'll see in a mont."
Li Pu didn't reveal anything.
This action phase gave Wu Xing no choices.
[Stone Man Beta] had only 3 health points left, and this turn, the [Stone Guardian]'s defense increased to 6 points.
No doubt about it, [Stone Man Beta] would definitely crash and die against [Stone Guardian].
All she could do was focus fire on [Stone Man Alpha], trying to reduce its health as much as possible.
Theoretically, when the opponent's trump card is revealed next turn, having a lower health for their regular cards would definitely be more advantageous to her.
[Rock No More!]
As the action phase began, [Stone Man Beta] indeed chose to attack [Stone Guardian] and t its end.
On Wu Xing's side, besides the [Stone God Follower] healing, [Mountain Earth] [Mud Stone Monk] [Stone Guardian] attacked [Stone Man Alpha].
However, Li Pu had already anticipated this, having Stone Man Alpha, Gamma, and Delta take [Defense].
Thus, [Stone Man Alpha] only lost 3 health points.
So by the end of the second round, the ga board looked like this:
[Follower 8][Face-down][Face-down]
[Mud Monk 10][Earth Mountain 17][Guardian 8]
VS
[Stone Alpha 4][Empty Slot][Stone Gamma 8]
[Stone Delta 10][Face-down][Face-down]
However, this situation completely changed during the unveiling phase.
Wu Xing's fifth regular card was revealed first.
[Light Shines Upon the Land!]
Accompanied by an exciting shout, a light shadow erged from the card's face.
The earth-yellow light wrapped it up, obscuring its appearance.
It looked just like a yellow, round energetic light body.
[Stone Elental Leader] -10 points, B
10/10
Attack 0, Defense 0
[Earth Force]: After the Stone Elental Leader is revealed, all allied Earth Stone cards gain 1 Defense
[Elental Blessing]: During the unveiling phase, the Stone Elental Leader restores 1 health point to surrounding allied Earth Stone cards
[Elental Condensation]: On unveiling, for each Earth Stone card revealed on the field, the Stone Elental Leader gains 1 Attack/Defense
As soon as this card appeared, the comntators couldn't sit still.
Vice President: [Oh my! It's one of the best elental leaders, the Stone Elental Leader!]
He Pai Wang: [I heard the Stone Elental Leader is not only extrely rare but also exceptionally hard to kill...]
Vice President: [The key now is, how many Earth Stone cards are revealed on the field?]
He Pai Wang: [Five for Wu Xing, and five for Mo Se Gu]
Vice President: [So now the Stone Elental Leader is at least 10/ 10?]
He Pai Wang: [Initially I thought Wu Xing's Guardian accidentally played into Mo Se Gu's suicide strategy]
He Pai Wang: [But now looking again, it seems Mo Se Gu's Earth Stone cards accidentally played into Wu Xing's hand]
"Damn, that [Mountain Earth] was already above average, and now there's an overpowered [Stone Elental Leader] as well."
"It feels like two BOSS cards, doesn't Mo Se Gu have no hope this round?"
"One could just say he was unlucky, drawing Earth Stone cards, only to face off against a field of them."
"Oh my dear, if it were facing a 20-health regular card and a 10/10 monster card, I might have already surrendered."
"Losing this round greatly diminishes Mo Se Gu's hope of contending for first place, unless there's a tie leading to extra matches."
Although whether the [Stone Elental Leader] is indeed 10/ 10 hasn't been shown yet and won't be until the unveiling phase completely ends, no one in the audience doubts that the cards behind Li Pu aren't set for a Stone Man combo.
[Rock On!] x2
Li Pu didn't actually need to take any action this turn, because with the combo effect triggered, the remaining [Stone Man Epsilon] and [Stone Man Zeta] automatically unveiled.
The scene was just as everyone imagined, ten Earth Stone cards all gathered.
But at this mont, the audience went silent.
Because they knew maybe, perhaps, the real climax was just beginning, perhaps.
According to the combo effects, next up for unveiling was Li Pu's trump card.
The reason for the "perhaps" regarding the climax was because the strength of this card would directly determine the course of the ga.
If strong enough, there was a show to watch.
If not, then Li Pu was as good as lost.
[Rumble...]
As everyone focused on the spot of that trump card, suddenly the ground seed to shake.
"Earthquake! Is it an earthquake?"
"Run!"
"Damn it! Why an earthquake at such a ti!"
"Don't drag off, I must see this card unveiled before running!"
For a mont, the audience was in chaos.
He Pai Wang: [Ladies and gentlen, please don't panic, this is just a card sound effect]
Vice President: [Exactly, if you look carefully, you'll see only the holographic projection is shaking]
Vice President: [Those watching the cards are all Summoners, how could they be scared by a little wobble like this]
He Pai Wang: [Vice President, could you get back to your seat before making such remarks]
Vice President: [Haha, joke, it was just a small joke]
Thankfully, the comntators cald everyone down with their words.
Upon a closer look, it was indeed only the holographic projection shaking.
But combined with that sound effect, it was too realistic.
[Bang!]
"Look quickly, what's that!"
Attention returned to the cards, and so spectators noticed the change in projection.
At this mont, Li Pu's eagerly awaited trump card flipped over, revealing a stone hand seemingly crawling up from the depths of an abyss, firmly gripping the edge of the card face.
[Bang!]
Soon, a second hand climbed up as well.
Then ca a stone head...
The stone head slowly ascended, eventually revealing a burly, solid rocky body.
Judging from its projection size, this card was larger than any other on the field, even bigger than both [Mountain Earth] and [Stone Elental Leader].
"Ah, this! I think I've seen this before!"
Soone in the audience exclaid.
In the previous team mode dungeon collection competition, this beast had appeared before.
A 4-person team from Zhong Du once encountered this gigantic beast while performing a collection task in the Earth Realm's level-1 area.
The team had a total of 8 Summoner beasts, but they were wiped out with a single punch upon seeing this creature.
Terrified, the team crushed their light clusters to exit the dungeon on the spot.
If Long Ren hadn't returned to the Imperial Capital and were still here, he would definitely recognize it.
This was indeed the giant monster they fought to leave the dungeon, the Mountain Earth Giant!
But this current Mountain Earth Giant wasn't the sa as before.
The original [Mountain Earth Giant] card wasn't nearly enough to handle the current situation.
Thus, this was a Mountain Earth Giant subjected to [Card Making] fusion as the main body.
The Mountain Earth Giant slowly climbed onto the card display, revealing its full figure.
Through the enhancent of the holographic projection, its body was even more massive than what Li Pu and Long Ren faced before.
Standing in front of the other cards, it had an imposing majesty of looking down from above.
Feeling fear towards creatures larger than oneself was an innate biological instinct.
So even knowing it's just a projection, many in the audience were involuntarily holding their breath in awe.
All eyes were on the Mountain Earth Giant's every move.
Under the watchful eyes of all, the Mountain Earth Giant calmly squatted down and then placed its hands on the ground.
What looked like a stone crevice for a mouth slowly opened, revealing a black hole-like vortex within.
Vice President: [I-it, what's it planning to do?!]
The comntator's exclamation echoed throughout the venue.
