[Earth Restoration Mushroom] remained inactive, as [Healing] was useless in this case. No matter what, [Rock-breaker Mushroom] was bound to die, so it was better to save energy.
Thus, the action phase ended, and the board was laid out as follows:
[Empty Slot][Flag Bearer][Golden Shield]
[Empty Slot][Empty Slot][Mushroom Eater 70]
VS
[Shield Mushroom][Empty Slot][Empty Slot]
[Mushroom Head][Empty Slot][Earth Mushroom]
This situation had beco an absolute disadvantage for Li Pu.
His three cards together had only 70 attack points, while his opponent’s [Resolute Flag Bearer] and [Mushroom Armor Eater] had solid [Defense].
If he attacks [Resolute Flag Bearer], the damage halves to 35 points.
These 35 points would be handled by the [Golden King Shield], which surely had a 10-point shield set by Ah Yajun, aning a turn could only deal 25 damage.
If he attacks [Mushroom Armor Eater], the [Shield Mushroom] [Earth Restoration Mushroom] would have their 40 points of damage reduced by 30 each turn due to [Appetite Protection]’s [Shield].
Only 10 points [Mushroom Head Breaking Shield]’s 30 points would pass through, halving to 20 points.
Then handled by the [Golden Shield King], it becos 10 points of damage.
The key here is... this [Golden Shield King] has 150 points of life.
But a choice had to be made, so this turn, Li Pu chose to attack [Resolute Flag Bearer] collectively.
anwhile, Ah Yajun chose to [Defend] with [Resolute Flag Bearer] [Mushroom Armor Eater].
[Golden King Shield] (10 attack) launched an attack on [Earth Restoration Mushroom].
However, in the next turn, with [Golden King Shield]’s energy at 6/6, he directly spent 4 points to activate [King’s Shield’s Might].
This not only put a 10-point shield on all revealed ally cards but also gained attack power equivalent to the shield value for 2 turns.
Thus [Golden King Shield] (20 10 attack) [Resolute Flag Bearer] (10 attack) directly attacked [Earth Restoration Mushroom].
Li Pu had [Shield Mushroom] and [Earth Restoration Mushroom] perform [Defense], then aid to find a flaw to have [Mushroom Head Breaking Shield], which can ignore shields, attack [Break Armor Mushroom].
As a result, Ah Yajun surprisingly chose to have [Break Armor Mushroom] perform [Defense], transferring the damage to [Golden King Shield], not even breaking its 20 shield points.
So at the end of a turn, the board looked like this:
[Empty Slot][Flag Bearer][Golden Shield 125]
[Empty Slot][Empty Slot][Mushroom Eater 70]
VS
[Shield Mushroom][Empty Slot][Empty Slot]
[Mushroom Head][Empty Slot][Earth Mushroom 70]
Don’t be fooled by Li Pu’s [Earth Restoration Mushroom] rely dropping to 70 life points; the reality was that he was completely defeated in this round’s exchange.
No way around it, as the initiative was completely in the opponent’s control. He could only keep guessing while being led by the nose, with no room for maneuvers.
This round was actually a microcosm of what was to co.
After a relatively long exchange of multi-turn offense and defense, a rather clear result finally erged:
[Empty Slot][Empty Slot][Face Down]
[Empty Slot][Empty Slot][Golden Shield 85]
[Empty Slot][Empty Slot][Mushroom Eater 10]
VS
[Empty Slot][Empty Slot][Empty Slot]
[Empty Slot][Empty Slot][Empty Slot]
[Face Down][Empty Slot][Empty Slot]
The two sides’ aces remained unrevealed yet had their positions confird by the opponent, but Ah Yajun’s side still had two more cards.
"Sorry, the championship is mine."
Ah Yajun looked at Li Pu with feigned calmness, trying hard to control his emotions, but still couldn’t completely suppress the joy that couldn’t be concealed.
"Is that so."
Li Pu nonchalantly touched his own face-down card.
The [Dragon Elder Tree], which had been hidden throughout the tournant, was about to make its appearance.
