Chapter 4 You've Fallen into the Trap
Jiang Lou returned to the Ancient Capital University and immediately found Wang Changzhi.
"What? You still want to fight me?" Wang Changzhi was curious. "You finally changed your deck?"
"Of course not, I'm still using the Yingcao suit!" Jiang Lou was very confident.
"...Forget it, it's boring." Wang Changzhi waved his hand. "If you only use the Yingcao suit, no matter how many times you fight, the result will be the same. I'm not saying anything, Jiang Lou, I really don't understand why you have such a special liking for the Yingcao suit. You're not the one who needs money."
"This time is different! Believe me, if I lose again this time, I'll wash your socks for next week!"
"I've already reserved Arena Number Nine. Come quickly."
"6"
…
Arena No. 9
Jiang Lou and Wang Changzhi stood on both sides. A white light fell from a huge card above their heads and condensed into a shield on each of them. Then the shield was tightly attached to the surface of the body and did not affect their movements.
This shield is called the Duel Shield, which can block a certain amount of damage for the person who is cast on it, and release a burst of airflow after it is broken, repelling everything around it.
In a normal duel between soul card masters, as long as the duel shield is broken, the broken party will automatically be judged as the loser of the duel.
Very reasonable and safe.
"What do you think, Jiang Lou, do we still need a silent round?" Wang Changzhi stretched his body.
"No need, just come directly."
The Silent Round is a competition rule officially established by the Soul Card Master Association, which means that after entering the battle, the Soul Card Master's first wave of souls cannot be used for attack.
This is mainly because some specific decks, such as Assassination and Spell Burst, can use methods such as Soul Overload to deal enough damage to overflow the Duel Shield with only a single wave of Soul. Other decks that require a gradual board roll are often difficult to defend against.
If there were no silent rounds, it is conceivable that all the Soul Card Masters in the competition would be using this kind of deck.
Of course, this is not a competition, and Jiang Lou and Wang Changzhi are both using regular decks, so there is naturally no need for a silent turn.
Wang Changzhi wore the card box around his waist and waved his hand. A card flew out of it and kept getting bigger in the air until finally, a mantis almost as tall as a human walked out of it.
Zerg Cutter!
This card consumed about half of Wang Changzhi's soul energy.
It seems to consume a lot of energy, but after the soul energy is empty, the soul energy well will start to continuously convert mental power into soul energy. It only takes about five seconds for Wang Changzhi's soul energy to be fully restored.
"Jiang Lou, you attack. I only have this one summon card. How can you break it?"
Wang Changzhi is full of confidence.
Although the recovery amount of the Yingcao card after forming a scale is not low, his Zerg Cutter will not give the Yingcao set a chance to recover!
I was killed in one blow, how can I recover?
He kills every one he summons. Jiang Lou’s soul energy is limited, and it won’t be long before he will be at his mercy!
easy!
"Really?" Jiang Lou smiled with an ambiguous smile, "You'd better be serious."
After saying that, he slapped the card box on his waist, and suddenly a card flew out of it!
Swish!
Pitch-black mist overflowed from the card surface, and a ghostly figure holding a knife gradually emerged in the mist. It stared at the Zerg Cutter and let out a series of hoarse laughs.
Yingcao Jedi Knight!
Wang Changzhi's face froze.
"Wait! Jiang Lou, didn't you say you were still using the Yingcao suit?"
"Of course it's the Yingcao set." Jiang Lou said as he casually threw out three cards and summoned three short figures.
Yingcao Archer!
The three figures looked similar, all wearing little skirts woven from green grass, with grass-like hair draped over their shoulders, and holding a curved branch in their hands that looked like a bow.
After summoning three Yingcao archers, Jiang Lou's soul energy was completely exhausted.
Without panicking, Jiang Lou crossed his arms and looked at Wang Changzhi with a smile: "How is it, it is indeed the Yingcao Trap, right?"
"... Stop talking nonsense! How can a Yingcao suit come with a Jedi Knight?" Wang Changzhi said with a forced smile, "But you don't think that just because you have an extra Jedi Knight, you can beat me, right?"
The Yingcao set focuses on coordination, and the Jedi Knight is a unit that mainly focuses on single combat. Even dogs would shake their heads when seeing this combination.
"Of course, otherwise would I bet my right to wash socks for a week?"
"I really envy your confidence."
ha! !
The Jedi Knight let out a low cry, swung his long sword, and rushed straight towards the Zerg Cutter!
Wang Changzhi immediately ordered the Zerg Cutter to retreat quickly, then threw out a soul card.
Acid egg swarm!
Ten head-sized insect eggs flew out of the card and shot straight towards the Jedi!
Upon seeing this, the three Yingcao archers drew their bows together, and dots of fluorescent light condensed on the branches and bows, and in the blink of an eye they had combined into green arrows.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Yingcao archers had a very fast shooting speed and excellent accuracy. After a few arrows, most of the flying eggs were blown up, and the rest were chopped up by the Jedi Knights with a few swords.
Puff! Sizzle!
Green acid splashed out from the eggs and landed on the Jedi Knight, making bursts of corrosive sounds. Not only that, several small insects crawled out of the exploded eggs, pounced on the Jedi Knight, and bit him madly.
Wang Changzhi smiled and said, "Humph... You want to use Jedi Knights to restrain me, Jiang Lou? Have you thrown all the combat common sense taught by the teacher behind your head?"
Using acid spawn to deal with Jedi is a classic tactic in Zerg decks.
The Jedi Knight's body is not very strong and will continue to lose health. The corrosive acid erupted in the first round of acid egg group can effectively lower the Jedi Knight's blood line.
Not only are there a lot of acid worms that hatch after the eggs explode, but their bites also have a paralyzing effect. It is difficult for a Jedi Knight to quickly deal with the acid worms with a single attack, and they can only lose the remaining vitality during the paralysis.
The current situation can be said to be a foregone conclusion.
Wang Changzhi smiled confidently and controlled the Zerg Cutter to rush towards the Yingcao Archer behind the Jedi Knight.
Even though the Jedi Knight was paralyzed, it was still no problem for him to kill the Zerg Slicer with one strike. So Wang Changzhi didn't engage him head-on, but instead chose to pick on the weak and cut down the back row first.
Jiang Lou frowned, seeming a little panicked.
He tried to divide his attention, letting the Yingcao archers flee separately, but the Zerg Cutter was incredibly fast. It rushed across the arena in the blink of an eye. Its two sickle limbs flashed a cold light, and a Yingcao archer was instantly cut in half!
"Grass Leaf Binding!"
Jiang Lou took the opportunity to play a spell card, and suddenly countless flexible grass leaves grew out from under the feet of the Zerg Cutter, entangled its body!
The two Yingcao archers also stopped quickly, bent their bows and shot arrows, taking advantage of the opportunity to attack.
"It's useless, Jiang Lou, you're just wasting your soul energy!"
Wang Changzhi is confident of victory.
The spell card Grass Binding cannot cause any trouble to the Zerg Cutter, but the consumption is not low. The Zerg Cutter does not even need to play extra soul cards, and can cut the grass leaves by itself.
By then, his soul energy will be full, while Jiang Lou's soul energy will be exhausted, and it will be clear who will win and who will lose.
Looking at Jiang Lou's frown, Wang Changzhi smiled complacently.
There is no other way!
Well...it's time to end the battle and reap the rewards of my own sock-washing labor.
Seeing that the Zerg Cutter had broken free from the grass leaves, Wang Changzhi waved his hand and was about to let it start clearing the area, but suddenly he found that a dark figure was standing behind the Zerg Cutter at some point!
Wang Changzhi's face changed.
Jedi Knight?
How is that possible? With the damage from the acid eggs plus its own blood loss, shouldn't it be dead by now?
At this time, Jiang Lou's brows relaxed and he put on a smile.
"Sorry, you fell into my trap."
