The moment the countdown reached 0, both parties were teleported to the map of this competition: Fountain Square.
This is the simplest battle map in the game. There is a fountain in the middle of the field. Because the fountain does not block the player's vision, both sides can clearly see the opponent's position.
The open-card mode at the lower levels is very simple and crude. To prevent players from being too busy to summon cards, the system will thoughtfully display all the cards of both sides at the beginning of the game, and quickly summon seven cards according to the agility attribute, creating a 7v7 confrontation situation.
The system stipulates that the initial value of the mental power of a full-level player is 240. It takes 30 points of mental power to summon a seven-star card. Theoretically, summoning 7 cards at a time consumes 210 points, and there are 30 points left, so there will be no situation where the mental power is insufficient.
This mode is very beneficial to Xie Mingzhe - it allows Zhou Yu and Lu Xun to join forces to launch a group attack!
At this time, three joker cards, two monster cards, one animal card and one plant card appeared next to Benny Bear.
His reaction speed was obviously not fast enough. Seeing the Fat Uncle summon a large number of characters in an instant, Benny Bear was completely confused and didn't know which one to attack.
However, in the second he hesitated, Xie Mingzhe took the first step.
Lu Meng——Crossing the river in white clothes without bloodshed!
Wearing a military hat and a white robe, Lu Meng directly used the crowd control skill, and Benben Bear's eyes instantly became dark.
——Group blindness and control!
Everything in front of his eyes was dark and he couldn’t see anything. Benny Bear was completely panicked!
Controlling seven cards at the same time was difficult in the first place. Now that he was blind, Benben Bear panicked and had no idea what to do. When he opened his eyes again, he saw a very shocking scene -
I saw that my seven cards were connected by a strange chain, and all the cards were on fire. The raging fire continued to burn, and the health of the cards dropped rapidly. The flames burned more and more, and it also triggered critical damage!
At this time, Xie Mingzhe's Zhou Yu and Lu Xun's fire-based group attack combos had already been completed.
Within the 3 seconds of blindness control, it was not particularly difficult for Xie Mingzhe, who had experience in online games, to release the three skills of Chain Chain, Fire Red Cliff, and Fire Chain Camp in succession. Moreover, he had calculated this set of combos countless times in his mind and had already memorized it by heart.
In the past, when playing online games, you had to press the keyboard to release skills, but if your hand speed was slow, you might not be able to press them all. Nowadays, holographic games are controlled directly by mental power. As long as you keep your mind clear, all the cards will be activated wherever you point them. It is much more fun than pressing the keyboard!
When Clumsy Bear saw that all seven cards had lost health, he became a little anxious and immediately activated the group healing skill of the plant card.
But... why is there no response?
——Xiao Qiao, Chant of the Long River!
A strange piano sound rang in my ears, the group fell silent, and cards in the range could not release any skills for 3 seconds.
Benny Bear can't use any healing skills at all!
At this time, Sun Shangxiang took action.
Xie Mingzhe asked Sun Shangxiang to aim at the ghost card with the lowest health among the seven cards - the female ghost in red.
In the deck of Benbenxiong, the main output should be this red-dressed ghost card, with long black hair covering her face, which looks quite scary. However, this ghost card has low health and defense, and is very fragile. After being hit by Zhou Yu and Lu Xun's fire attack combo, it only has about 1,000 health points.
The ghost girl's blood bar flashed red and she was in danger.
Sun Shangxiang pulled the longbow, and the flaming arrow shot straight at the Vampire card with a whoosh - killing it instantly!
The joker disappeared from the field in a puff of smoke.
Sun Shangxiang's "Bow Waist Girl" skill will randomly add an attack once the target is killed!
Sun Shangxiang picked the demon card next to the joker card. The little fox demon was also at low health, with about 3,000 HP. Sun Shangxiang shot an arrow -
Another instant kill! Continue to trigger the pursuit!
One arrow, two arrows, three arrows, four arrows, five arrows...
How powerful is the Sun Shangxiang card? The harvest in a bloody situation is simply despairing!
In the blink of an eye, only the last two cards were left of the seven cards of Clumsy Bear. One of them was an animal card with the most health and was not killed instantly, and the other was a joker card with the effect of "resisting critical damage".
The situation inexplicably changed from 7v7 to 7v2...
Before Benben Bear could react to what was happening, Sun Shangxiang shot away all five of his cards. In despair, Benben Bear simply pressed the surrender button, thinking that he must have met a great god, a super great god!
The game is over and the system has calculated the data. The MVP card of this game is undoubtedly Sun Shangxiang.
——Congratulations on your first victory in the Arena. Your ranking points increased by 5 points.
——Do you want to start the next round of battle?
Xie Mingzhe was very excited.
After he went to bed last night, he kept simulating the playing style of this deck in his dreams. This was his first actual practice. The Dongwu Fire Brigade was indeed very powerful. As long as the combination of skills could create a perfect control chain, the opponent would have almost no chance of counterattacking!
Just now, this stupid bear was so confused that five cards were lost in one second.
It is not unfair to lose to this deck. After all, it is a brand new character deck made by Xie Mingzhe himself, and the data has been checked and adjusted by the great god Chen Qianlin himself, so the skills are connected very smoothly!
Xie Mingzhe took a deep breath and pressed the "Start Next Round" button.
The system will rematch opponents, still one every 3 seconds.
The ID of the opponent matched this time is "Dou Dou", and she has the image of a very soft and cute girl.
The girl has two ponytails on her head, wears a white princess dress, and has big, bright eyes. However, Xie Mingzhe never shows mercy just because the other party is a girl. Who knows if she is a character made by the uncle with a toe? He made a fat uncle himself. The girls in the game are not necessarily real girls.
So Xie Mingzhe mercilessly attacked with another series of moves...
Doudou was completely unable to react and was completely dazed by the beating.
Everything went black at the beginning. When she regained her vision, she found that she could not use her skills. The opponent, Sun Shangxiang, shot arrows with flames one after another, destroying her entire deck in one second?!
Shooting seven arrows in a row, is this scientific? ?
Doudou couldn't help but type: "Oh my god! Who are you? Are you here to bully the noobs?"
Xie Mingzhe said: "I am not a great god."
To be honest, he is also a novice, but he is a novice with unique ideas and guidance from experts.
Doudou wanted to vomit blood. He couldn't fight back at all. The feeling of being pressed to the ground was terrible. Who would believe that he was not a master? This deck was simply amazing!
——Congratulations on your victory in the arena, your second consecutive victory. Your ranking points increased by 7 points, and your current points are 12.
——Do you want to start the next game?
Xie Mingzhe became more and more excited as the game went on and he immediately advanced to the next round.
The third game was not difficult either. It was a one-wave attack. Zhou Yu and Lu Xun used group fire attacks to reduce the opponent's health. Xiao Qiao silenced the opponent to prevent him from adding blood. Sun Shangxiang took action to harvest the enemy and quickly killed several cards of the opponent. The opponent directly pressed the surrender button.
The fourth game, the fifth game, the sixth game...
There is no need for Sun Ce and Da Qiao to appear on the field. A set of combos will basically kill all the opponents.
Xie Mingzhe became more and more proficient in controlling the deck, and won more and more smoothly.
After an hour of competition, Xie Mingzhe won ten consecutive games in the blink of an eye!
The promotion rules of the Star Card Ranked Tournament are similar to those of the League of Legends he played on Earth. Winning the Ranked Tournament will earn you extra points, losing will deduct points, and winning streaks will earn you extra points. Each major rank is divided into 5 minor ranks, each worth 20 points. When you have accumulated 100 points, you can play the promotion tournament, and winning the promotion tournament will earn you promotion to the next higher rank.
When Xie Mingzhe first started the competition, his rank was "Star Card Apprentice Level 1". After winning ten games in a row, he had become "Star Card Apprentice Level 3". His upgrade speed was very fast, and when he reached Star Card Apprentice Level 5, he could participate in the promotion competition.
Keep up the good work!
Xie Mingzhe continued to press the "next round" button.
The opponent I encountered in the eleventh game had an ID called "Wolf Soul". His character was an old man with white hair. His deck was well matched. Judging from the results, we had already played 10 games and won ten games in a row.
Xie Mingzhe immediately became alert.
Apparently, he had won too many games in a row, and his points rewards were getting higher and higher. When he won ten games in a row, the system matched him with an opponent who had also won ten games in a row.
It's obvious at first glance that this "Wolf Soul" deck is much more professional than the newbies' decks I met before - seven neatly arranged animal cards, using the fire beast card system. He might be a fan of the great Nie Yuandao.
Xie Mingzhe quickly checked his deck and found a Fox card among his cards. Its skill was called Agility: All friendly units' Agility attribute is increased by 20%, and their attack speed is increased by 20%.
——This is a buff assist card that speeds up everyone!
In other words, as long as the Fox card is on the field, the opponent's deck will move faster than yours!
In this way, Lu Meng will definitely not be able to take the initiative, and the opponent may just focus on his key card and kill it in seconds. No wonder he can win ten games in a row, it seems he is quite good.
Xie Mingzhe took a deep breath and used a brief moment to organize his thoughts and think about how to deal with the situation.
20 points of agility means a time difference of about 0.5 seconds in the arena. You can kill a card within 0.5 seconds by focusing fire. If the opponent is Nie Yuandao, it is completely possible, and Xie Mingzhe can surrender directly.
But Xie Mingzhe believed that this player definitely did not have the reaction ability and awareness of Nie Shen. 0.5 seconds was just a blink of an eye. It was still a question whether he could control several cards at the same time in such a short time!
Xie Mingzhe calmed down and thought about the solution.
The countdown ends and the competition begins.
The presence of the Spirit Fox really gave the opponent the upper hand, and the opponent directly released the Wolf, Tiger, and Lion cards to try to kill Zhou Yu instantly! This person is quite aware, probably because he quickly analyzed the key role of Zhou Yu in the Fat Uncle's deck.
Zhou Yu's Chain Chain can greatly increase the damage of Fire of Red Cliff and Fire of Linked Camps, while Sun Shangxiang's harvest must be based on the situation that all the opponents are dead. Zhou Yu is indeed the key to this deck. Once Zhou Yu dies, Lu Xun and Sun Shangxiang may not be able to play a harvest game.
The opponent's three beasts rushed towards Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu was originally very fragile, and was focused on by the opponent, and his health was reduced to rubbish in an instant!
Xie Mingzhe had been staring at Zhou Yu's health and Sun Ce's skill loading time. At the moment when Zhou Yu's health was less than 200 points, Sun Ce's skill loading was finished, and Xie Mingzhe decisively released Sun Ce. Sun Ce, riding a horse, stopped in front of Zhou Yu at an extremely fast speed, and activated his whip skill, taunting in a range and forcibly absorbing hatred!
The subsequent attacks of the three beasts all bit Sun Ce - fortunately, Xie Mingzhe reacted quickly and Sun Ce protected him in time, otherwise the fragile Zhou Yu would have died three times!
Sun Ce's ranged ridicule lasts for 8 seconds, which is enough time for Xie Mingzhe to make some adjustments.
He let Sun Ceding, who had the most health, stand in front to absorb the firepower, and then activated Da Qiao's skill - seclusion.
Zhou Yu, who was nearly killed by concentrated fire on the field, suddenly disappeared and was forcibly taken back into Xie Mingzhe's hand.
After the card is retrieved, it will return to its initial state with full health. When Sun Ce's taunt is about to end, Xie Mingzhe summons Zhou Yu again - Zhou Yu with full health returns to the field.
The opponent player was completely confused and typed a row of ellipsis: "…………"
He observed Fatty's deck and realized that once Zhou Yu died, Lu Xun's fire attack could not hit a critical hit, and Sun Shangxiang could not harvest the enemy. So he focused on killing Zhou Yu at the beginning, and finally reduced Zhou Yu's health to 200 points. He would die if his health was slightly touched.
Unexpectedly, Sun Ce suddenly appeared to protect Zhou Yu, and then... Zhou Yu was taken back by the opponent?
Take it back? ?
I beat you for so long and you took it back? You are so shameless!
While the opponent was confused, Xie Mingzhe started his own skill cycle——
Crossing the river in white clothes, fighting without bloodshed, chained iron chains, burning of Red Cliffs...
A set of skills were used repeatedly, and the animals on the opposite side were crippled. Xiao Qiao silenced the group so that the opponent could not add blood. At this time, Sun Shangxiang attacked again, destroying the sky, the earth, and the air in seconds. It was simply unstoppable!
In a blink of an eye, a large number of beastmen died and the ground was covered with corpses.
Wolf Soul was very dissatisfied and typed directly on the public screen: "Your skills are so stupid!"
Xie Mingzhe laughed and said, "How can I win in the arena without being a jerk? Do I just stand there and be defeated by you in seconds?"
Wolf Soul: “…”
It makes so much sense that I can't refute it.
The moment he quit the arena, Wolf Soul was in a bad mood. He was a crazy fan of Nie Shen, and his deck was made by learning the critical hit and kill flow of Nie Shen and buying fire beast cards. After joining the Judgment Guild, he also worshipped a master who had reached the advanced star card expert level in the arena and taught him the idea of the arena.
The reason for his ten consecutive wins was his speed in getting the opponent's key cards in seconds. He always believed that offense is the best defense.
But I just got taught a lesson by the fat uncle!
I failed to kill Zhou Yu within 0.5 seconds and was forcibly blocked by a wave of damage from Sun Ce. What's even more exaggerated is that the skill of Da Qiao who plays the piano is really like a bug. After fighting for a long time, I can still take back the card and summon it again?
Da Qiao is a perfect counter to this single-target one-shot kill deck!
Wolf Soul was very depressed, and turned around to look for his master with a tearful face: "Master, my winning streak is interrupted. I encountered a character deck, and they actually took back the cards that I had destroyed!"
The other party was very surprised: "Character deck? Let me see the video!"
Wolf Soul sent the video to his master, who was shocked after watching it: "Fuck, isn't this Uncle Fatty?! The Fatty who broke the record by making dungeon cards! He hasn't been torturing dungeon monsters these days, and has gone to play in the arena?"
Wolf Soul looked confused: "Who is Fatty Uncle?"
The master said earnestly, "He is a popular person in the game recently. Don't worry, my disciple. I will show the video of this game to the vice president!"
***
Xie Mingzhe won the eleventh game without any risk, and was much happier this time than before.
The opponents encountered in the first ten games were all typical newbies. Not to mention adjusting data and matching deck skills, many of the seven cards were just put together at random. Some players even used single-skill cards from dungeons to make up the numbers.
Xie Mingzhe won the games against these newbies very easily. The opponents basically had no ability to resist and were killed instantly by Xie Mingzhe's Dongwu Fire Team.
Only after ten consecutive victories did Xie Mingzhe feel challenged by this opponent.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and was able to allow Sun Ce to protect Zhou Yu in time, allowing Da Qiao to retrieve the dying Zhou Yu and summon him again. Otherwise, if the opponent had killed Zhou Yu in seconds, he might have lost.
The deck is just the foundation, and adapting to circumstances is the key!
This is only the lowest level in the game, and many players are newcomers who have just collected seven cards to test the waters.
Xie Mingzhe knew that even if he won eleven games in a row, there was nothing to be proud of - because the real challenge was in the highest level of Star Card Master, where all the great players gathered!
The author has something to say:
I think everyone has understood the chapter of Da Qiao's Seclusion. It is similar to the resurrection skill, and can also reduce the number of deaths of the card, saving a lot of repair costs. However, seclusion requires high operation requirements. When the card is dying, you must immediately recall it, not even a second later. The resurrection skill can be used after the card dies for several seconds, and the operation is easier. Each has its pros and cons.
