not like someone would try to kill each other, rightThis card's card surface properties can be said to be extraordinarily powerful, but the star rating is completely dragged down by its enormous side...The first round's gameplay has been released, it is turn-based.......

The draw for Lu Cheng's team is already complete. Google Search.com

Fat Brother, as always, is a small red hand. The opponent in the competition is a little-known college team called "Breaking Through Thorns," ranked 8741 on the championship hot list.

Unlike Lu Cheng's school, Dongshi Academy is famous. With the national flag of Dongshi hanging above it, it boasts a much higher reputation than its counterparts. On the championship hopeful list, it ranks 8660th.

It's far ahead of its competitors.

This morning, a light rain fell on Wang Bingdao Island, and the air was very fresh.

Lu Cheng took a sip of the Velvet Fruit Tea, which Tang Wenyao had bought for him. This fruit tea from Wangbing Island was Lu Cheng's favorite.

Lu Cheng not only gave her two Blue Cards, but also attached a set of Wine Card Group's basic combat technique cards. After passing through the small forest, this girl happily agreed to buy him fruit tea every day on the island.

"I'm back, this is the event card that Teacher Lu got for us. As usual, Little Lu, you take it." Fatty flung the card in his hand, and Lu Cheng caught it nimbly.

"What is a match card" the crowd asked.

"Well, it's a performance incentive mechanism. Not only do you have to win, but you have to win spectacularly. Twenty percent of the rewards from both countries' audiences will go onto this card. We can spend it at Wang Bingdao's Card Master shop, and we can even take it home after the competition."

Lu Cheng was no longer sleepy. He sat up straight from his chair and opened the card master website, seriously browsing the information online.

King Bingdao has an independent network of card masters separate from Tiansheng and Dongshi. Under mutual consent, it can even browse the content of both parties' card master networks.

Of course, Tiansheng blocked the card-making techniques, while Dongshi blocked the card master training methods.

Back then, during the Tian Sheng period, training was nothing more than level-based training and physical conditioning.

But after coming to study at Dongshi, their comprehensive educational approach made Lu Cheng even more approving.

The battle power of a card master and their cards cannot be quantified.

It's not a guarantee of victory just because you have a high level or star rating.

There are many ways to enhance card effects.

When cards are fighting in a suitable background or environment, their combat power will also surge.

Cards also have bonds with each other, and with the card masters.

When truly resonating with a card wielder, cards can unleash incredibly powerful combat abilities.

For example, Coffin Sword Crimson Robe. Under normal circumstances, she can only be specially summoned onto the field after dying in her wedding dress, and her markings are very scattered. Even with a shield, Youqin's Wedding Dress couldn't withstand 100 attacks.

But when the master is attacked, she can immediately Special Summon herself from the deck!

Double attack, nine-segment damage, and powerful attack effects.

But Lu Cheng knew that this wasn't anything special. Once his own strength matched Hong Yi's, the real game would begin.

If you can still get paid, then you have to show off! You have to study hard!

.......

"Coach Lu, how are we going to play this game Should I just charge in" Liu Hongying's eyes gleamed with excitement. She couldn't wait to transform into her Blade Bear form.

"Senior sister, this round's on you." He placed the teacup on the side table and continued browsing the web.

"Huh I'm eating again I'm practically a banquet streamer at this point!" Liu Hongying rolled her eyes.

"Then I'll go too" Tang Wuyao asked in surprise.

"You're having dinner too, aren't you" Lu Cheng replied, then turned his face to Fatty: "That, Fatty..."

"I know, I'll eat!"

Lu Cheng nodded in satisfaction.

"Then who are we going to have fight!" Tang Wenyao was panicked upon hearing this. With only two support units left, she couldn't possibly be the one outputting damage, even if she had obtained [Poisoned Wine]. She wasn't familiar with the cards yet

"Our team isn't about being fair, you guys all carried before, this game I'll carry, you assist me!"

"Huh You can output text"

"What's the point of playing if you can't even output anything"

Lu Cheng had reviewed the competition format. The first round of the losers' bracket would eliminate over 2,000 teams, which could be described as a process of winnowing out the weak.

The competition committee's decision to adopt a turn-based system in this first round, where the waves of competition are so intense, is very reasonable.

Turn-based combat slows down the pace of battle, allowing for pauses at any time. With a lifeguard present during competitions, there is little chance of issues arising.

But the problem with turn-based games is that everyone can see each other's moves, and when there's a healer, the pace is very, very slow. Often both sides lay out their strategies, and it takes dozens of rounds to determine a winner.

In this kind of game setting, the best scenario would be to have a player like Blade Armor Liu (Liu Xuejie) on the field. Tang Wenyao uses her [Alcohol] card to keep up with healing external wounds.

The backline uses a shield to defend and makes the opponent nauseous.

But Lu Cheng didn't want to do that, this way of fighting was simply torturing the opponent! It also tortured the audience, no one would donate to watch a hypnotic bear fight like this!

That's not an option, you have to show it off.

........

On the day of the competition, the sky was clear and sunny.

Wang Bing's Colosseum, the hall master on stage, the host girl's sweet voice spread all over the web.

"To our viewers from Tiansheng and Winter Lion, I'm the host Xin Ya. As you all know, this is the first ever Joint Academy Cup in history, which holds immense significance for both nations....."

.......

"Wow, this girl's got some skills!" In the preparation area for the competition, Fatty bumped Lu Cheng with his elbow.

Lu Cheng also agreed with this, Xin Ya's figure was simply amazing. He estimated that it was about the same as Tang Senior Sister, but Senior Sister usually dressed in JK style, not as revealing as hers.

When Lu Cheng learned about Wang Bingdao, he also looked at her information. She was the chief host of Wang Bing's fighting arena, there was no way she wasn't extraordinary.

"Wow, the Wang Bing Grand Arena is huge! It can hold 100 teams competing at the same time!" Tang Wuyao exclaimed.

"Senior sister, Wang Bing's fighting arena might be even bigger than you think," Lu Cheng smiled mysteriously.

Last time he came here, Wang Bing set up underground fighting rings and mountain duels. It is estimated that by the later stages of this competition, we will be able to see them.

But he was also unable to get a full view of Wang Bing's fighting arena.

I don't know why, but Lu Cheng always had a feeling that Wang Bingdao was like...a domain card....a dead domain card!

The main battle stage solo performance has finished, and the team performance is now underway, which is used to explain the turn-based game system to the audience.

Xinyan's moving voice slowly enunciated the rules.

During a turn-based cardmaster battle, each player receives 5 action points per round. Moving and playing cards consume these action points.

"Now, our first player has laid down a cover card on the field. It could be a trap card. The first player can summon, equip, set field traps, but generally, they cannot attack during their first turn."

The first player's turn is over~ And to compensate the second player, they will get a 5-capacity energy card~

"This competition thoughtfully stipulated that the energy recovery cards carried by both parties' card masters cannot exceed their own energy level, so as to prevent both sides from becoming a full-fledged support team and end up with empty bank accounts by the time they finish fighting!" Xin Ya winked playfully.

.......

This Lu Cheng knows, but many cards are not energy cards, but can derive energy, such as his own pot.......

The performance was conducted very quickly.

"Alright, the exhibition match is over. I announce that the first round of the Academy Cup main tournament, officially begins!"earn from them, and then defeat them.The Lich King has only this one thought.At the very least in the near future, large-scale war must absolutely be avoided. We must shift towards small-scale penetr...
