After the match with Fenghua Team 2, Xie Mingzhe and his teammates reviewed the video of the three games.

Although he won all three games easily, Xie Mingzhe knew in his heart that the reason why he was able to win so smoothly was that he had a better understanding of the card pool of Fenghua players, while the newcomers of Fenghua knew nothing about him.

The Journey to the West series cards he used today were the first to be used in the arena. The players of Fenghua had never seen these cards before, so naturally they would not be able to come up with a strategy to deal with them so quickly. In fact, he took advantage of the "new cards" and caught his opponent off guard.

If this deck is used to compete against the masters of the Professional League, it may be able to unexpectedly win a few games at the beginning, but the masters have rich competition experience and will quickly come up with a solution to crack the situation.

The same strategy won't always work, the deck needs to be improved.

Chen Qianlin analyzed: "This deck looks very powerful on the surface, but the restrictions on the linkage skills are too harsh. Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie, Sun Wukong and White Dragon Horse must all be present to trigger the master-disciple linkage. As long as the opponent understands the core of your linkage system and kills your Tang Seng before the four cards are gathered, you will not be able to open the linkage, and the output of the entire deck will be greatly reduced."

Yu Ke asked in confusion, "But Tang Seng has 150,000 HP and a high defense. Earth-based cards can't be killed so easily, right? Besides, this deck also has the White Bone Spirit to attract aggro. When the opponent's firepower is too strong, the White Bone Spirit can share some of the damage."

Chen Xiao smiled and patted Xiao Ke on the shoulder, saying, "Have you forgotten the instant death card?"

Yu Ke was stunned, and turned to look at Xie Mingzhe, who smiled and nodded, saying, "Brother Chen is right. My deck will be very difficult to play against instant death cards. The Human instant death card Pantheon has already made a Piranha Plant. The demon instant death card is Sha Seng, which I made myself. Whether I use the Piranha Plant to kill Tang Seng in one second, or use Sha Seng to kill Zhu Bajie in one second, my deck will face the risk of collapse."

Yu Ke: “…”

Chen Xiao said, "The newcomers of Fenghua Team 2 were too nervous today. When you started the joint attack in the second round, if Qin Yuhang, who came out in the third round, could have calmed down and realized this, he would have used the demon clan's instant death card to kill Zhu Bajie in an instant, and the master-disciple joint attack would not have been launched. The newcomers still lack experience in big battles, and you have confused their minds."

Yu Ke: “…”

So, the Star Card world is fair. Xie Mingzhe has been cheating others, and one day he will cheat himself.

He made so many instant death cards to target other great players' decks, but now his own deck is also being targeted. Human and demon instant death, as long as one instant death card is played, the linkage will be broken. When it comes to the professional league competition, it is still unknown whether Xie Mingzhe's seemingly strong linkage system can be used.

Xie Mingzhe thought about it carefully and said, "It seems that this kind of multi-card linkage is still too risky. As long as one of the cards dies, the linkage will not work."

Chen Qianlin said: "So, most players make linked skills with two cards, and it is rare to see more than three cards. In addition, the threat of dead cards to this deck is too great, so you can also consider how to deal with it in advance."

Yu Ke's eyes lit up: "Oh, right, before, Ah Zhe made Zhong Kui to target the Joker. In order to prevent Zhong Kui from taking my Joker, didn't he make the Lu Zhi Dao card to target Zhong Kui and release the Joker?"

Lu Zhidao went to counter Zhong Kui because the joker was captured, not killed, so Lu Zhidao could be released again. But the demons and humans would be killed instantly, so what should he do if he can't release them back?

Yes, you can be resurrected!

Xie Mingzhe suddenly thought of the resurrection skill. If the opponent killed his Tang Monk and Zhu Bajie instantly, he could revive the dead cards and the linkage skills could still be triggered. Xie Mingzhe suddenly realized: "I will make another resurrection card. If someone really uses the instant death card to deal with my linkage system, I will bring a resurrection skill to save the cards that were killed instantly."

Chen Qianlin praised: "This is also a method. But try to avoid the linkage of more than three cards as the triggering conditions are too difficult."

Xie Mingzhe nodded: "Well, I plan to make the Wood element into a control style. I will sort it out in the next few days."

Chen Xiao said, "I've also sorted out the deck. Once Ah Zhe finishes the Wood element, the four of us need to hurry up and practice coordination."

Qin Xuan couldn't help with making the cards, so he said, "If you have new ideas for scene card designs, you can tell me. The school isn't very busy recently, so I can take this opportunity to make a few more."

Xie Mingzhe said, "Okay! Let's take a rest first and discuss it in the meeting tomorrow."

Xie Mingzhe slept soundly that night. When he woke up the next day, he had a new idea in his mind. He decided to make an earth-type resurrection card to ensure that Tang Seng's master-disciple linkage system could be played out.

For this card, he chose "Tathagata Buddha" from Journey to the West.

Guanyin Bodhisattva is made into a treatment card, and Tathagata Buddha is made into a resurrection card, which is also in line with the setting of the Buddha's compassion.

This card was made completely according to the "protection linkage system". With this card, even if the opponent takes out the death card to target him, he is not afraid of Tang Seng or Zhu Bajie being killed instantly.

Tathagata Buddha (Earth)

Level: Level 1

Evolution Star Level:★

Use times: 1/1 time

Basic Attributes: HP 1500, Attack 500, Defense 1500, Agility 10, Critical Hit 10%

Additional Skill: Saving All Living Things (The Buddha is compassionate and cannot bear to see killing. He can designate any dead card within a 23-meter range to revive the card and restore 19% of its health; cooldown time is 10 minutes)

Additional Skill: Five Finger Mountain (The Buddha extends five fingers, and his huge palm forms five stone pillars in the arena, and a circular range with a diameter of 30 meters is enclosed. Cards of both parties must move within the range. Cards that leave the range will be punished with a negative effect of losing 10% of their health per second. This negative effect cannot be removed unless the card returns to the range. It can only be released once in a game)

This is a pure support card, to make up for the shortcomings of the Journey to the West deck.

With Tathagata Buddha, first of all, it can ensure that the linkage skills of Tang Seng and his disciples are smoothly activated. After resurrection, the blood volume is restored to 19%, which just agrees with the design of "triggering linkage when the blood volume is lower than 20%".

Secondly, the Five Finger Mountain of Buddha once trapped the Monkey King. The design of the Five Finger Mountain on the card was inspired by this story. The range of the Five Finger Mountain is just convenient for the displacement control style of play. Zhu Bajie forcibly carries the opponent's card out of the range of the Five Finger Mountain, Princess Iron Fan blows the opponent's card out of the range of the Five Finger Mountain, and Bull Demon King repels the card, all of which can trigger the restraining effect of the Five Finger Mountain.

This is a formation skill, but it does the opposite. Most card formation skills make the enemy targets in the formation lose health, but the Five Finger Mountain formation skill of Tathagata Buddha makes the cards outside the range lose health.

The next day, Chen Qianlin was full of admiration after seeing this card. His apprentice was really quick to react. As long as he found the shortcomings of the deck, he could immediately make a card to make up for it. With this awareness, his deck would only become more and more perfect.

Xie Mingzhe spent the whole day organizing his thoughts on how to design the remaining wood cards.

He planned to let the Wood type adopt a "negative state flow" style of play.

His current deck includes fire group attacks, metal critical strikes, water control, and earth counterattack + displacement. Wood is very suitable for creating various negative states such as poisoning and bleeding. He plans to use the advantages of wood cards to create a comprehensive deck that focuses on control and supplemented by negative state stacking. The linkage skills should be designed to be as simple as possible, and it is best not to have weak links that are too easy to target.

That night, Xie Mingzhe was about to go to sleep after organizing his thoughts when he received a message from Tang Muzhou, who asked in a low voice: "Will you come to watch the team competition tomorrow night? I'll reserve five VIP audience seats for you."

"Why five?" Xie Mingzhe was a little confused.

"To the master, and your three teammates, you can come and watch it together." Tang Muzhou explained.

"Do you know how many teammates I have?" Xie Mingzhe had not told him about Qin Xuan, so Tang Muzhou should not know about it.

"When we were competing against Fenghua Team 2 yesterday, besides Master, Chen Xiao and Xiao Ke, there was also a very unfamiliar person named QX who came to watch. I guess he is your new teammate. Am I right?" Tang Muzhou asked with a smile.

"You guessed it right!" It seemed that the senior was quite concerned about the situation of his team. He spotted Qin Xuan's trumpet in the crowd at a glance. Xie Mingzhe did not deny it and said frankly, "He is also my schoolmate. I will introduce him to you later."

"Okay." Tang Muzhou followed up, "There's one more thing I want to remind you. You have strong talent and awareness, so it's not stressful to play against the players from our Fenghua Team 2. But your Tang Monk system has too many cards that can be easily cracked by instant kills, especially the instant death cards."

The master had already reminded him of this, and he had also thought of a solution. But Tang Muzhou, as a player of Fenghua Club, could generously give Xie Mingzhe suggestions on how to improve the deck, and Xie Mingzhe was very happy in his heart - because the senior brother was really doing it for his own good.

"Thank you for the reminder. I will pay attention to it." Xie Mingzhe said, "Good luck in tomorrow's game. Go to bed early, brother!"

"Well, it's very cold outside these days. Remember to wear more clothes when you go out tomorrow." Tang Muzhou's low voice was full of concern. "It's not easy to get rid of a cold in winter. If you get sick, it will affect your condition in the future... Don't be careless, understand?"

"I know." Xie Mingzhe has been an orphan since he was young and has never been cared for by anyone. At first, he was not used to Tang Muzhou saying these words, but after chatting with his senior brother for a few sentences every day during this period of time, he gradually got used to it. Chatting before bed has become a daily routine.

The two men chat on their voice before going to bed every day, either discussing decks and competitions, or talking about what delicious food to eat tomorrow and whether they should wear more clothes because the weather is cold. It's like... a long-distance couple having a heart-to-heart talk before going to bed.

What's even stranger is that he doesn't seem disgusted by it.

I even feel that chatting with my senior brothers before going to bed is the most relaxing moment of the day.

Xie Mingzhe was not quite sure why this was the case. He only knew that he really enjoyed chatting with his senior brother. No matter what they talked about, every time he heard Tang Muzhou's deep, warm voice ringing in his ears, he never got tired of it.

After ending the call, Xie Mingzhe closed his eyes and fell into a good sleep.

The next afternoon, he and his teammates had dinner and rushed to the team competition.

In every season, the team competition is the most popular and the most exciting. The individual competition only has the fans of the players themselves, but the team competition brings together the fans of countless masters, club fans, and deck fans, which is much more lively than the individual competition!

For example, Fenghua and Guiyu, who played in the first match today, are both veteran clubs. Each of Fenghua's four players, Tang Muzhou, Xu Changfeng, Shen An and Zhen Man, is a great player with countless fans. When the four of them are combined, their popularity is more than four times, and there are also countless passers-by who love plant decks.

The Ghost Club is no less popular. Zheng Feng is the founder of the Earth Card and the pioneer of the Earth Counterattack Style. He is the player with the strongest defensive ability in the entire league. In addition, his tough features and bold and tough temperament have attracted many fans. Gui Sirui, as the founder of the Ghost Card, is a little bit small, but his fans are particularly loyal. Liu Jingxu's demon card also has many people who like it.

These three names are familiar to Xie Mingzhe.

He was not familiar with the fourth contestant of Guiji. He had no idea who it was and rarely heard of him.

At 7:30 p.m., the big screen at the game site lit up, and two familiar faces appeared in the commentary room:

"Hello everyone, welcome to the Star Card Professional League's 10th Season Club League! Tonight's match will be between the Fenghua Club and the Guiji Club. First, let's pay attention to the players in this match!"

"Everyone should be familiar with the four players from Fenghua Club. They are Tang Muzhou, Xu Changfeng, Zhen Man and Shen An!" As the commentator introduced, a group photo of the four Fenghua players appeared on the big screen. "The contestants from Guihe Club are Zheng Feng, Gui Sirui, Liu Jingxu and Wei Xiaotian!"

The same group photo appeared, and Xie Mingzhe looked at the young boy in the photo, feeling a little confused.

Chen Xiao didn't recognize this person either, and said, "This Wei Xiaotian should be a newcomer promoted from the second team, right?"

Xie Mingzhe said: "I have watched all the matches since the top 16 of the individual competition, and I am sure that this person is not there."

Yu Ke asked curiously, "Didn't he make it to the top 16?"

At this time, Qin Xuan opened his portable computer and pointed to the information he had searched online, saying, "Wei Xiaotian is only sixteen years old this year. He is a supporting player for the Ghost Hell Team 2. He did not participate in this year's individual competition at all."

Xie Mingzhe touched his chin thoughtfully - it seems that this newcomer is a player suitable for team competitions.

In team games like League of Legends and Honor of Kings, there are indeed some players who specialize in supporting roles. However, Star Card Storm is not a game that requires multiple people to work together. As long as you match a deck, everyone can play in the competition. Therefore, most of the more famous players in the league are also strong in single combat. Pure supporting players rarely become famous.

Xie Mingzhe is quite interested in the 16-year-old Wei Xiaotian: "There has been no particularly outstanding newcomer this season. Since Cheng dared to put this 16-year-old kid in the team competition, maybe he will give everyone some surprises."

When people heard this, they also felt that this little guy might not be simple, and they raised their heads and stared at the big screen intently.

After the two commentators finished introducing the players from both teams, they excitedly said, "Next, we would like to invite the two teams participating in tonight's competition, the Fenghua Club team and the Guiji Club team!"

The cheers at the game scene flooded the venue like a tide. Even if he was sitting in a private room, Xie Mingzhe could clearly feel the enthusiasm of the fans. The fan club held up signs that read "Go Fenghua" and "Ghost Hell Will Win". Many girls waved their cartoon avatars excitedly. Before the game started, fans of both sides were secretly competing to see whose voice was louder.

Watching the competition live is indeed very noisy, but this lively atmosphere can also help Xie Mingzhe adapt to the competition environment in advance. When the players who are waiting for Nirvana stand in the middle of the stage, at least everyone will not be stage fright.
