Tang Muzhou originally asked the players from Fenghua Team 2 to compete against Xie Mingzhe in order to help him find loopholes in his deck.
At that time, he only had the poor Wu Kingdom Fire Team. Zhou Yu and Lu Xun laid the foundation with fire group attacks, and Sun Shangxiang shot rockets to seize opportunities to harvest. The seemingly strong deck suffered a heavy blow in the ring battle - losing seven games in a row and being beaten without any chance to fight back!
Later, based on the experience gained from that battle, he quickly created the Shu Kingdom's gold critical hit deck, with god cards such as Fuxi, Nuwa, and Shennong. Recently, he also created the Twelve Hairpins of Jinling in Red Mansions. Whether it is the richness of the card pool or the awareness of playing in the arena, the current Xie Mingzhe is already a world apart from the fat uncle back then.
When you meet someone after three days, you should look at him with new eyes!
This time he went to look for the players of Fenghua Team 2, not to be a punching bag.
He wants to win.
And he has to win beautifully, so that everyone's impression of him will change completely!
Tang Muzhou asked him several times, "When will you compete with the players from Fenghua Team 2?" Xie Mingzhe never agreed. It was not because he was deliberately dragging his feet, but because he did not have the confidence to beat the professional players from Fenghua at that time - he would only agree when his chances of winning were more than 50%.
Now is the time.
The problem of insufficient output of the Red Mansion deck does exist, but he didn't make the Red Mansion cards for the purpose of output. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong are strong enough in output, and the girls in the Red Mansion are better at the "control flow" play style.
Xie Mingzhe clearly remembered the decks of the Fenghua Team 2 players, and he had thought of many ways to crack them. To deal with the critical strike flow, he would "fight violence with violence" and use the Shu Kingdom Gold Cavalry to play a fast attack; to deal with the late-stage control flow, he would use the Red Building deck to "fight slow with slow" to delay the late stage.
Tomorrow, he will definitely impress his senior brothers.

The next night, at Fenghua Club.
Tang Muzhou came to the newcomer training room and said with a smile: "I have good news for you all. Uncle Fatty agreed to have another round of fighting with you. You should get ready first. I will take everyone to the fighting room at 8 o'clock in the evening."
The new members of Team 2 immediately became excited, and after Tang Muzhou left, they quickly gathered together to discuss -
"Is Fatty here to be a punching bag again?"
"He still dares to come after losing seven games in a row last time. Does he think he can win?"
"Hehehe, I just like to beat up Uncle Fatty in the ring. Today I'm going to change my deck to beat him up!"
"Well, I think we shouldn't underestimate him. He has made a lot of new cards recently. It would be embarrassing if we lose to him."
"Lose to him? Xiao Liu, you are overthinking it! We are professional athletes after all."
"No matter how many cards Uncle Fatty makes, he is just an amateur player when it comes to playing games. How can he compare with professional players?"
"Why don't we make a bet? If Fatty can beat me tonight, I will eat a helmet live!"
"…Your bet is too big!"
The young boys were discussing excitedly. Zhen Man heard their conversation and frowned slightly. She said, "No matter who your opponent is, you must not underestimate them. It is a taboo to underestimate your opponent before a match. Have you forgotten this?"
Sister Man's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's heads. Everyone immediately calmed down and lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
Zhen Man said calmly, "You did beat Uncle Fatty seven games in a row last time, but that was more than a month ago. Since Uncle Fatty dared to come to you today, he definitely didn't come to be your punching bag. Everyone should play seriously later. If anyone loses because of underestimating the enemy, the training task will be doubled in the next week!"
After hearing this, the guys from Team 2 perked up and were ready to give Fatty a good beating - just kidding, the training workload for Fenghua Team 2 was already heavy, and after losing the workload doubled, that was extremely miserable!
***
At exactly eight o'clock, Tang Muzhou pulled his junior fellow apprentice into the prepared arena.
Soon, several familiar IDs entered the room. Xie Mingzhe was deeply impressed by these IDs. One of them was a curly-haired beauty named "Toxin Spreading", who was Zhen Man, the ace player of Fenghua Club.
The last time he competed with Sister Man, Xie Mingzhe lost without a doubt and was deeply impressed by her snake hand.
Tang Muzhou asked, "Are all of you here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a graceful and elegant young man suddenly appeared in the room. His ID was "Feng Shao". At the same time, a joking voice rang in Xie Mingzhe's ears: "Such a fun thing, Muzhou, why didn't you call me?"
"Don't you have a competition tomorrow?" Tang Muzhou raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Why are you so free? Why are you here to join in the fun?"
"I've heard of Uncle Fatty for a long time, and I want to come and see Uncle Fatty's character card." The man walked up to Uncle Fatty and extended his hand politely, "Hello Uncle Fatty, I'm Xu Changfeng, a professional player from Fenghua Club."
"...Hello." Xie Mingzhe shook hands with the other party. He was a little surprised that Xu Changfeng would also come to watch the fun. This player was said to be Tang Muzhou's best buddy. Different from Tang Muzhou's gentle and deep voice, Xu Changfeng's voice always carried a hint of playfulness and frivolous joking tone, which sounded a bit annoying.
"Changfeng is my best friend. We have won the doubles championship." Tang Muzhou sent a private message to his junior. "He is even stronger than Zhen Man. His style is very special. It is the only accelerated style in the entire alliance."
"Speed flow?" Xie Mingzhe's eyes lit up. He had seen this style of play on the Internet when he was looking up information, but because it was too unconventional and difficult to operate, not many people discussed it. Xu Changfeng was the representative of the speed flow of play, and Xie Mingzhe was quite curious about his deck.
"If you are interested, I will pick you up tomorrow night. Changfeng will have a match tomorrow night. I will take you to see it." Tang Muzhou seemed to have guessed what his junior was thinking and said gently, "I have tickets for tomorrow night's match. Do you want to go?"
"Of course!" Xie Mingzhe had never been to the game in person, and he also wanted to experience what it felt like to sit there and watch the game from a god's perspective. Moreover, he was really interested in Xu Changfeng's accelerated style of play.
"I'll pick you up at 6:30 tomorrow night, and we'll have dinner together." Tang Muzhou and his junior brother set a time.
"I want to see it too!" With a crisp voice that has not yet passed the puberty period, a young man with the ID "Xiao Xiao An" entered the ring room. He ran to Tang Muzhou and said, "Master, can I come and see the excitement?"
"Aren't you going to prepare for tomorrow's competition?" Tang Muzhou looked down at his little disciple.
"Brother Feng and I have just put together our decks. We heard it's very lively here, so I came to take a look. I promise, I will just watch the excitement and not talk!" Shen An sat down obediently in the audience seats next to Tang Muzhou, smiling sincerely.
"Okay." Tang Muzhou didn't want to chase his apprentice away in front of so many people, so he tacitly allowed him to join in the fun.
Judging from seniority, Shen An is Xie Mingzhe's junior apprentice, but Tang Muzhou obviously did not tell the people in Fenghua Club the truth that Fatty Uncle is his junior apprentice. Therefore, the players of Fenghua all regard Fatty Uncle as an internet friend who has a good relationship with Tang Shen.
It was a coincidence today that the four main players of Fenghua Club, Tang Muzhou, Xu Changfeng, Zhen Man and Shen An, were all present. Xie Mingzhe was somewhat flattered - with so many great players watching, he had to perform well.
"Let me go first." Zhen Man walked to the center of the ring. The next moment, Xu Changfeng said with a smile, "Man Man, you are a professional athlete and you have won the runner-up in the individual competition. It's not good to bully Uncle Fatty like this, right?"
"Uh..." After Xu Changfeng's reminder, Zhen Man also felt that it was not appropriate for her to do so. She had already abused Fatty Uncle last time. If she abused him again today, Tang Muzhou would probably have an opinion. After all, Fatty Uncle was invited by Tang Shen. So Zhen Man tactfully retreated and said, "That's right, let's leave it to the newcomers today. Who will go first?"
"I'll do it!" The most skilled newcomer stepped forward first.
This new guy is called Liu Ran, and he is the club's key training target. During the discussion just now, he was the only one who said, "I think we should not underestimate the enemy." Although he is a bit introverted, he is the strongest among all the newcomers.
He was using a wood-type deck, and Xie Mingzhe had some impression of him.
In the last PK, Xie Mingzhe used the Dongwu Fire Card to fight against this newcomer and lost badly.
This time, Xie Mingzhe changed his mindset - the most annoying thing about the Wood type is the various negative controls, such as stiffness, paralysis, poisoning, binding, and hallucination. The various controls of plants will make people defenseless, and once controlled, no matter it is the overlapping toxins of flowers or the strangulation output of vines, the high output of the Wood type can easily cause casualties in a short period of time, putting oneself in a disadvantageous situation.
Having already lost once with the Dongwu deck, the Red Building deck might not be able to withstand the opponent's burst. Xie Mingzhe decided to play fast and directly send out the Shu Kingdom Cavalry Regiment, allowing Liu, Guan, and Zhang to team up to kill the opponent's core cards as quickly as possible.
The game starts and both sides show their decks.
The deck used by this young boy Liu Ran is full of plant cards made by Tang Muzhou, including the group attack card "Desert Rose" and the chaos card "White Poppy" that Xie Mingzhe had seen before, as well as three new cards, one is the illusion group control "Epiphyllum", one is the single attack "Iris", and one is the group attack "Wisteria" - all five cards are flower cards.
With so many flowers, Xie Mingzhe of course unceremoniously replaced the hidden card with Lin Daiyu.
As an open card, he directly listed the Five Tiger Generals of Shu. As a hidden card, he put Liu Bei on it, which can release control in a wide range and has a gold shield to protect teammates from being killed instantly.
Liu Ran is actually very smart. He knows that Fatty has the flower card "Daiyu" which is a kill card, so he simply lists five flower cards on the open deck. If you kill one of mine in seconds, I still have the other four, so it's not a loss to exchange one for one.
Xie Mingzhe was not too concerned about which one he liked best - White Poppy, no need to think about it!
The most annoying control card is "Chaos", which has already suffered from Tang Muzhou. When in Chaos state, attack skills will hit your own people. Guan Yu might not kill the opponent with one strike, but kill his own people instead. Wouldn't that be very embarrassing?
Xie Mingzhe also guessed the timing of the opponent's Chaos - since the Shu Kingdom's card set is not a secret, Xiao Liu must have studied his deck. Liu Bei activated the Peach Garden Brotherhood skill, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's skills were reset, and there would be a second round of outbreaks. At this time, with a move of Chaos, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei hacked at each other, and the two brothers directly hacked each other to death. Isn't Xiao Liu reaping the benefits and winning easily?
Xie Mingzhe would not let this happen, so he took Lin Daiyu with him and stared at the white poppy opposite.
The game begins, and both sides summon cards in an orderly manner.
Since there are too many control cards in the plant cards, the illusion of Epiphyllum and the chaos of White Poppy appeared in the open cards. Xie Mingzhe speculated that he must have another control card in his hidden cards. Xiao Liu should bring three group control cards and four output cards. As long as the skills are well connected, the opponent will be completely killed after a set of group attacks. When necessary, chaos will be used to let the opponent kill each other. If you encounter an opponent who can't fight, you can definitely punish him to death with a wave of control!
However, today's Xie Mingzhe is no longer the fat uncle who was controlled to death by a wave.
After a month of experience, he went to the arena every day for actual combat, and discussed card lineups and response strategies with his master every day. Now, his awareness has made a qualitative leap, and his reaction speed is extremely fast. When he saw Xiao Liu's deck, he guessed the opponent's thinking in his heart, and thought of a way to crack it, and knew what he should do and when.
There are three control bots on the opposite side. As long as he doesn't get controlled continuously, he will find a chance to counterattack!
When the opponent used the illusion of "Flash in the Pan" to control the field and deal high group attack damage, Xie Mingzhe calmly ignored it. He watched Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong all being hit to half health by a wave of group attacks. They were also in the state of poisoning from the three layers of the hidden card "Mandragora", and their health dropped rapidly...
The players from Team 2 in the stands couldn't help but say, "If he doesn't fight back, he's going to lose!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Liu summoned the "Misfit Incense", which put everyone in a range into a coma.
Sure enough, there was a control card in the hidden deck.
Xie Mingzhe narrowed his eyes and summoned Liu Bei without hesitation. He used Liu Bei's control-releasing skill to get rid of the drowsiness, and at the same time, the negative poisoning status of all his teammates was also removed.
Soon after, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong all went out together, and the Shu cavalry launched a critical attack at a rapid speed, chopping the opponent's output cards Desert Rose, Iris, and Datura into bloody skin.
The Peach Garden Oath linked skills are released, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's skills are reset.
Liu Ran's eyes lit up - he had been waiting for this moment! As long as the opponent started the Peach Garden Oath, the chaos of the white poppy would naturally allow Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to chop each other, and then he would release the wisteria flowers, and the vines would attack in a range, and the opponent would probably be wiped out in one go!
Xiao Liu had a good idea, however, at the moment when White Poppy appeared, Fat Uncle seemed to have been prepared for him. Lin Daiyu appeared on the field in time, raised the petals with her slender hands, and threw them at White Poppy - the flower died instantly!
White Poppy didn't even have time to use her chaos skill before she was killed instantly by Daiyu.
There were cheers from the audience, many people couldn't believe that Uncle Fat's reaction was so quick!
In fact, Xie Mingzhe had already predicted the timing. He guessed that the opponent would use Chaos to make Guan Yu and Zhang Fei fight each other after Liu Bei started the joint action. So Xie Mingzhe deliberately added a 1-second time difference. After Liu Bei finished playing "Peach Garden Oath", Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not move at all. When the opponent summoned White Poppy, he immediately let Daiyu kill this control card, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei started to attack.
The two brothers used their weapons, Green Dragon Crescent Blade and Zhangba Snake Spear, to decisively chop down, killing a card with one blow, and their momentum was unstoppable!
Huang Zhong aimed at the opponent's card with the highest health from a long distance and shot an arrow to kill him.
Zhao Yun came on the scene right after him, and Ma Chao made seven in and seven out moves to completely disrupt the opponent's formation. He took advantage of his skills to cause extra damage to low-health cards, flew up, and stabbed the control card Epiphyllum to death with one shot!
In a blink of an eye, the situation was completely reversed, and Xiao Liu's flower cards died.
Xiao Liu panicked a little, and summoned his last card, Wisteria, hoping to attack the enemy with a group attack.
But at the moment he summoned the last card, Ma Chao's entire regiment suddenly accelerated, and Xie Mingzhe's cavalry regiment withdrew from the battlefield at lightning speed.
The purple vines of wisteria suddenly stretched out, trying to tie up the opponent and cause large-scale group control, but the result was... missing?
Not only was Xiao Liu embarrassed, but all the newcomers in the stands were embarrassed!
Fat uncle ran away so fast!
In this game, Xie Mingzhe finally destroyed Xiao Liu's flower deck with a huge advantage of 4 cards. Xiao Liu was completely stunned, and the other newcomers couldn't believe it either.
Some people discussed privately: "Xiao Liu is not in good condition today!" "He may not have performed well as he was the first to play." "Fat Uncle's deck should fight violence with violence. I'll be the next one to play. I'll use fire cards to defeat him!"
The second one to appear was Xiao Qin, who used a fire critical hit deck.
Last time, he completely beat Uncle Fatty, so he was still confident in himself. Fighting violence with violence, his fire critical hit card was not less powerful than Uncle Fatty's gold critical hit card. And he just watched a game, and he felt that as long as he focused on killing Guan Yu or Zhang Fei first, this deck would not work and would easily collapse.
Xie Mingzhe took a look at his opponent's deck, replaced Lin Daiyu with Nuwa in the hidden card.
Nuwa can repair the sky and any shield.
Liu Bei's gold shield can just protect against one near-fatal damage, and Nuwa can repair it once, which is equivalent to two times of immunity.
Xiao Qin was depressed to find that he had finally crippled Fat Uncle's Guan Yu, Liu Bei's shield was immune to critical hits, and Nuwa repaired the shield and made it immune again, but he was simply not going to be able to kill him!
Both sides fought violence with violence and dealt damage, and Liu Bei's shield and Nuwa's repair played a crucial role.
Several of his ultimate moves were blocked by the shield. In the end, Xie Mingzhe defeated the newcomer who was good at fire critical strikes with a 3-card advantage!
The atmosphere in the ring room gradually became a little strange.
If Xiao Liu lost to Fatty because he was not in good shape when he played the first match, then was it also because Xiao Qin lost right after him? Is this Fatty still the same Fatty who was beaten by us for seven consecutive games? Why did he win two games in a row today as if he was full of energy?
The faces of the newcomers were all a little grim, but Tang Muzhou was smiling, his eyes full of admiration for his junior brother. He glanced at the newcomers sitting in the audience and said, "Who's next?"
The newcomers quickly lowered their heads. After a moment, one girl gritted her teeth and said, "Let me try."
This girl's name is Zhou Xiaoqi. Xie Mingzhe has an impression of her. She uses a slow water-based control style of play, especially in the late game.
It's not easy to kill her cards directly with the water-based late-game play, so Xie Mingzhe made a decision that made the newcomers bleed - he replaced the entire deck, letting the Shu Kingdom Cavalry take a rest and letting the girls from the Red Mansion take the stage to perform!
When both sides showed their cards, the newlyweds in the spectator seats all widened their eyes at the neat row of beauty cards, and suddenly had a bad feeling in their hearts.
What are these cards? I haven't seen many of them before!
