After Zhou Xiaoqi lost to Fatty, she returned to the audience with her head down. Zhen Man patted her shoulder gently and said softly, "It's okay, you've tried your best." Zhou Xiaoqi said "hmm" with a bitter face and turned to sit next to Sister Man.
The other contestants in the audience all looked a little nervous, fearing that Master Tang would call on them next time.
Especially Liu Ran and Qin Yuhang, who had played against Fatty Uncle before, were even more nervous. Liu Ran leaned over to Qin Yuhang's ear and whispered, "It was Xiao Qi just now. Will Tang Shen let us play against Fatty Uncle next?"
Qin Yuhang's face changed: "Don't be so crow-mouthed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Muzhou called out his name, "Liu Ran, come here."
Liu Ran: “…”
He really should have shut up. Today, whatever he said came true. He was just like the crow-mouthed Nie Shen.
Liu Ran gave a dry smile to Qin Yuhang, who had an unpleasant look on his face, and walked to the center of the ring with gritted teeth.
The last time he PKed with Uncle Fatty, Liu Ran was the first one to step forward. At that time, Uncle Fatty did not use his newly made water deck, but used the gold deck that everyone knew to fight him.
But he still lost, because Fatty used Lin Daiyu to instantly defeat his flower card White Poppy at the critical moment.
In order to fight against Uncle Fatty this time, Liu Ran actually made a lot of preparations. Not only did he adjust his deck, he also bought a "Piranha Plant" card from the Temple Guild and raised it to the maximum level.
The Piranha Plant was created by Ye Suqian, the chief card designer of the Temple of the Gods. It is a card specifically designed to target the human race's death. It suddenly began to circulate in the game some time ago and was sold publicly. Many people bought one in case of emergency.
No one knew why the Temple of the Gods did this. Liu Ran only knew that the Piranha Plant card would definitely have the greatest impact on Uncle Fatty, because the most famous person who used human cards was Uncle Fatty.
He had been thinking that during today's duel, he would unexpectedly take out the Piranha Plant to kill Fatty Uncle's Jia Tanchun in seconds. As long as Tanchun died, Fatty Uncle's water deck would not be able to output enough, and he would only rely on Wang Xifeng, and even if he laughed loudly for a few rounds, he would not be able to kill his plant cards.
Originally, he had a 60% chance of winning, but after watching the duel between Fatty and Zhou Xiaoqi, he was completely stunned. The deck Fatty brought today was full of monster cards, without a single human card. His preparation was in vain!
However, Liu Ran quickly calmed down and withdrew the Piranha Plant from the deck.
As soon as he walked to the center of the ring, the fat uncle extended his hand to him in a friendly manner: "Xiao Liu, long time no see!"
Liu Ran greeted awkwardly, "Hello, Fatty Uncle."
Uncle Fat said with a smile: "Let's get started!"
At the start of the second game, the system randomly selected a jungle map, and both sides announced their decks.
Liu Ran still uses wood cards, and all the cards are Tang Muzhou's works. Obviously, he is a die-hard fan of Tang Muzhou.
The cards he revealed this time include two single attack cards, "Iris" and "Wisteria", a group taunt + range invincibility protection card, "Banyan Tree", the illusion group control of "Epiphyllum", and the chaos group control of "White Poppy".
Liu Ran was very quick to react. Apparently, after watching the last game, he had realized that it was unwise to bring group attack cards to fight against the earth element. It would be better to bring more single attack cards to kill the opponent's output core in seconds. Moreover, Zhu Bajie would rebound damage. If he brought group attack cards, he might be beaten back and his own cards would be killed instead.
This newcomer is indeed the strongest one in the second team, and his ideas are also recognized by Tang Muzhou.
Tang Muzhou speculated: "Xiao Liu should have brought a single attack and a single control card. Banyan tree for defense, single control card to limit Zhu Bajie's displacement, group control to disrupt the rhythm, three single attacks to focus fire to kill the opponent's key card, this is indeed a better strategy to crack earth cards."
Xu Changfeng asked: "Based on your guess, what are your junior brother's chances of winning this game?"
Tang Muzhou said without thinking: "100% chance of winning."
Xu Changfeng raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile: "You really have confidence in him."
Tang Muzhou said: "Because he must have a stronger card. Besides, he is my junior fellow apprentice. How can I not have confidence in him?"
Xu Changfeng smiled and said, "It's a pity that you didn't bring him to Fenghua."
Tang Muzhou could not refute this, and this was indeed his regret.
Xie Mingzhe chose four cards that were used in the previous game from the five open cards he announced, namely the taunt card White Bone Demon, the single attack card Pipa Spirit, the healing card Guanyin, the displacement card Zhu Bajie, and the support card Tang Monk.
Everyone has seen the first four cards, and the fifth card, Tang Seng, is a new card.
Tang Muzhou knew that with his junior brother's personality, since he directly replaced the displacement systems of Red Boy, Princess Iron Fan, and Bull Demon King, the two hidden cards must be a new linkage system, most likely linked with the newly appeared Tang Monk.
Linkage skills are hidden when no Linkage Cards are present, unlike other skills which are displayed directly. They are only triggered when all Linkage Cards are present. Therefore, from the card data alone, we cannot see how Tang Seng's Linkage system is designed.
Tang Muzhou was also very excited and looked towards the center of the arena seriously.
At the beginning of the game, both sides made similar choices when summoning cards. They summoned defensive cards first to prevent the fragile output cards from being killed instantly by the opponent.
Liu Ran summoned the banyan tree, while Xie Mingzhe summoned the White Bone Demon.
Both sides move their cards quickly, keep their distance, and immediately summon new cards as required after 5 seconds.
Liu Ran summoned three single attack cards, "Wisteria", "Iris" and "Hydrangea" in rapid succession.
The attack modes of these three cards are different. Among them, Wisteria is a vine strangling attack, Iris is a strong fragrance attack, and Hydrangea is a very strong single-target normal attack card. His operation is very meticulous. The three cards move quickly to form a "triangle position" that takes care of each other, and the Banyan Tree defense card is placed in the middle. This formation can ensure that the three fragile output cards will not be killed instantly.
Xie Mingzhe then summoned Zhu Bajie, Pipa Fairy and Tang Monk.
Summoning so many cards in one breath is just to force out the opponent's group control!
Crowd control skills are usually used when the opponent has many cards. If you only control one or two cards, it would be a waste. Sure enough, when seeing Xie Mingzhe's cards increase, Liu Ran summoned Epiphyllum without hesitation - Epiphyllum!
Suddenly, a meter-high white Epiphyllum bloomed in the center of the field. As the Epiphyllum bloomed, Xie Mingzhe's vision was filled with layers of white jade-like petals. Xie Mingzhe fell into a scene hallucination. Not to mention seeing the opponent's cards, he couldn't even see where his own cards were. All he could see were the Epiphyllum petals, and he couldn't operate at all.
The illusion of group control of Epiphyllum lasts exactly 4 seconds, no more, no less.
4 seconds was enough time for Liu Ran to do something, but Xie Mingzhe would not passively take a beating. Almost at the moment when the flash of a flower appeared, he immediately summoned Guanyin Bodhisattva and resolved the crowd control in seconds!
Fatty's reaction was indeed fast enough, and Liu Ran did not intend to control Fatty with just one card. He released Epiphyllum in order to force out Fatty's Guanyin and make Guanyin use her control-releasing skill, so that he could control the field and output later.
Liu Ran stared at the Pipa Spirit, which had the strongest attack power among the Fatty Uncles, and deployed three single attack cards collectively -
Vines covered with wisteria flowers flew over like tentacles and tightly wrapped around the Pipa Fairy. At the same time, the petals of the iris flowers attacked like sharp blades, and the hydrangea flowers also smashed at the Pipa Fairy like a string of cannonballs.
The concentrated firepower of the three single attack cards was quite terrifying, and the Pipa Spirit was almost instantly reduced to a depleted health.
Xie Mingzhe quickly activated Tang Seng's hatred-attracting skill - Tang Seng's Meat. When Tang Seng appeared, all enemy targets within the range would transfer all attacks to Tang Seng.
Tang Seng really sacrificed himself for justice by attracting all of Liu Ran's powerful output firepower. Even though he was an earth-type card with very high health, he was targeted by three single-attack cards and his health dropped to 40% in the blink of an eye!
While Tang Seng was attracting fire, Xie Mingzhe directly released Zhu Bajie and asked the old pig to carry a wife back.
However, at this moment, Liu Ran made a very surprising move.
—White poppy, chaos!
This unexpected group control completely disrupted Xie Mingzhe's rhythm.
I saw Zhu Bajie quickly running to the Iris Flower on the opposite side. He wanted to carry the Iris Flower away, but after being confused, he immediately turned back and carried our White Bone Demon on his back instead, and carried her into the circle of plants on the opposite side.
Xie Mingzhe: “…”
You traitor, old pig!
Of course, this is not Zhu Bajie's fault. Bajie was affected by the chaos on the other side. Fortunately, due to the random chaos, he did not carry his master on his back, otherwise Tang Seng would have been killed instantly.
When the White Bone Demon was surrounded, he was able to leave behind a fake corpse and escape, and he managed to return safely.
There was still some time before the master-disciple joint skill was triggered. Xie Mingzhe calculated the blood volume in his mind. When Tang Seng's blood was almost reduced to 35% by the opponent, he did not hesitate to use Tang Seng's healing skill - Compassionate Heart!
Tang Seng actively reduces his own health by 10% and restores health to the designated target.
The Pipa Spirit is an output card, and her basic health is very low. Tang Seng's 10% is as much as 25% for her. At the beginning, the Pipa Spirit was left with only a trace of health after being targeted by the enemy, but was saved by Tang Seng's blood replenishment.
When Liu Ran saw this scene, he was very calm and decided to divert his firepower to kill Tang Seng.
At this time, Tang Seng only has 25% health left, and he will surely die if he is attacked again.
However, just as he threw an embroidered ball flower at Tang Seng, Xie Mingzhe suddenly summoned his hidden cards "Sun Wukong" and "White Dragon Horse".
Tang Seng recited the spell to tighten the hoop, and Sun Wukong went into a violent state. He teleported directly in front of the hydrangea with a "Muscle Fighting Cloud", raised the "Ruyi Jingu Bang" in his hand and smashed it violently at the hydrangea.
The blow from the stick was so painful to the spectators, and the actual amount of blood lost was also quite terrifying.
Poor fragile Hydrangea, 35% of its health was destroyed almost instantly.
Almost at the same time, Liu Ran heard Zhu Bajie's roar: "Brother, Master has been captured by a monster!"
Liu Ran: “???”
Audience: “???”
What's happening?
Tang Muzhou sat up straight in the spectator seats and squinted his eyes at the scene on the ring. If he guessed correctly, this triggered a linkage.
Sure enough, after Zhu Bajie roared, the words "linked skills" appeared in the data display on the scene.
Xie Mingzhe calculated the health and time just right. After Sun Wukong's wave of attacks, Tang Seng's health was just below 20%, triggering the "Master-Disciple Love" linkage skill.
The White Dragon Horse transformed into a mount, and flew to Tang Seng, accelerating by 500% to rescue the blood-depleted master!
The speed was so fast that it was dizzying. Before the audience could react, they found that Tang Seng had disappeared.
All of Sun Wukong's skills were refreshed, the Tightening Spell had a critical hit bonus, and there was an additional bonus to the attack when combined. At this time, Sun Wukong's attack power was extremely terrifying. He picked up the Ruyi Jingu Bang and actually smashed the bleeding Hydrangea to death with one blow!
Looking at the colorful petals falling on the ground, Liu Ran was completely stunned.
Sun Wukong made the golden cudgel in his hand grow rapidly without hesitation, and slammed the three-meter-high giant cudgel towards the ground with great force. There was a loud bang, and all the plants in the range lost blood!
This position is also very accurate. The group attack is placed right in the middle of the two cards, Iris Tail and Wisteria, causing both cards to lose health. The opponent's deck does not have any healing cards, so the lost health cannot be recovered, and the subsequent fight will be much easier.
Liu Ran had no choice but to bring out the banyan tree's divine protection, making his range invincible!
But it was useless, he started too late. After Sun Wukong finished the attack, he did not want to linger in the fight and directly withdrew to his own formation.
Zhu Bajie stayed where he was, mocking his opponent with his naked pig face, as if to say: You hit me, I can turn the tables and fight back. You don't hit me? I was confused and didn't carry my wife on my back, I will grab another one later!
Liu Ran: “………………”
What a mess!
He finally understood that Tang Seng was there to attract firepower in this formation, and he deliberately shed blood to trigger the deep bond between master and disciple.
Once the linkage was triggered, the whole scene was in complete chaos.
Even if Liu Ran was calm, he didn't expect Uncle Fatty to perform such a weird combination skill. Sun Wukong refreshed all his skills, which was equivalent to dealing two consecutive critical hits, instantly destroying his strongest normal attack output card!
As soon as Hydrangea died, Liu Ran fell into complete passivity.
When Zhu Bajie's skill cooled down, he, who had just failed to snatch his wife, immediately rushed over and carried Iris Flower away. He carried the beautiful Iris Flower in front of the eldest senior brother, who then killed her with a stick from Sun Wukong.
Liu Ran lost without any suspense.
When he walked off the field, his face was even paler than Zhou Xiaoqi's just now.
Qin Yuhang's face turned even uglier, and he thought, would Tang Shen call his name...
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Tang Muzhou say with a smile: "Xiao Qin, it's your turn."
Qin Yuhang: “…”
As Xiao Qin walked towards the stage, the expression on his face was as fierce as if he was "heading to the execution ground".
Xie Mingzhe thought with amusement that in the minds of the newcomers in the second team, Uncle Fatty was probably like a beast that eats people without leaving any bones.
