In the next few days, Xie Mingzhe has been fighting in the arena. Most of the players he met in the ranking matches were from the Fire, Wood and Water categories. These three categories have the largest player base in the game. The Earth and Gold categories are difficult to operate, so the number of players is obviously less than that of the other three categories. Xie Mingzhe's Gold cards are particularly eye-catching in the arena.

Three of the players recognized him and sent him text messages to say hello. The ID Fat Uncle became more and more well-known. It started with breaking the Purple Bamboo Forest world record, which attracted the attention of most of the dungeon party. Later, because the Dongwu arson group was posted on the competition forum, it attracted the attention of players who love competitions.

Today, Fat Uncle is already a celebrity in the game, and the Yueban Card Store earns considerable income every day. Xie Mingzhe can be said to have "gained both fame and fortune", but he is not satisfied. He wants these character cards to be recognized and liked by more people, and he wants to popularize character card decks - the only way to do this is to bring these cards to the highest-end professional league arena.

With victory after victory, Xie Mingzhe's rank rose rapidly. Two days later, he reached the advanced star card expert rank, with 49 consecutive wins and an astonishingly high winning rate.

He is only one step away from reaching the seventh-tier "Star Card Master" level.

It is said that the Star Card Master promotion game is extremely difficult. Many players are stuck at this step for weeks or even months, because reaching the Star Card Master level means entering the top level of the Star Card game arena pyramid. Only players with a rich card pool and first-class awareness can reach this level.

The reason why the Star Card Master's promotion match is abnormal is that the system will "cross-rank match" when matching opponents. In other words, the system does not match players with opponents who are also playing in the promotion match, but with opponents who have already advanced to the Master rank. If you want to advance, you must defeat the players who have already advanced.

This time, Xie Mingzhe was matched with a player who had leveled up, with the rank: Star Card Master!

Since he has been winning streak till now and his win rate is still 100%, the system matches him with players with a win rate of 100%.

This player's ID is "陽光璀璨", and his deck is very unique. As Xie Mingzhe leveled up, since he reached the expert level and above, the decks of the players he met were very neat, such as plant decks and beast decks. Players would collect a whole set of similar decks according to their preferences, and they looked pleasing to the eye when put together.

But this "Sunny Day" deck is very diverse. It is the first time that Xie Mingzhe has seen such a strange deck!

The five cards that the opponent took out were the Wood Plant Card "Epiphyllum", the Fire Animal Card "Lion", the Earth Animal Card "White Elephant", the Gold Weapon Card "Musou Sword", and the Water Control Card "Moon Jellyfish".

Xie Mingzhe was a little confused - what the hell was this?

In the arena, five cards of the same series can be used to form a deck, but this "Sunshine" has gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, so he can't form a deck.

Players can choose deck buffs to improve the overall strength of the deck in a certain aspect. This player used a five-element mixed deck, completely abandoning the deck attributes, but was able to achieve a 100% win rate and reach the Star Card Master rank...

Xie Mingzhe felt a little chilly. Could this be the secondary account of some professional great?

He quickly observed the skills of the opponent's deck. Needless to say, the White Elephant was the strongest earth-based defense card; the Epiphyllum was a wood-based group chaos card; the Lion was a fire-based group attack card; the Musou Sword was a gold-based single attack card; and there was also a particularly beautiful Moon Jellyfish, a water-based single control card.

This deck is very well matched, with group control, group attack, single attack, and defense. The 100% win rate in reaching the Grandmaster level is not due to the advantages of the deck, but the advantages in awareness and reaction speed.

Seeing the opponent's elephant with 200,000 health points, Xie Mingzhe did not hesitate to replace Cao Chong in his hidden cards - six Shu Cavalry Regiments plus a death card. This is the deck he often uses in the ranking matches in recent days, and it also allowed him to win 49 consecutive games in one go.

Almost at the same time when he replaced Cao Chong, the system prompted: Sunshine replaced two hidden cards.

The opponent also changed his hidden cards? It is very likely that he found a way to crack his deck. Thinking of this, Xie Mingzhe became more cautious.

The game will start soon.

At the beginning of the game, the opponent directly summoned the white elephant. Xie Mingzhe did not show him any mercy and took out Cao Chong to control the elephant.

Continue to summon new cards within 5 seconds. The opponent summons three cards in a row at an extremely fast speed - a group attack Lion, a single attack Wu Shuangjian, and a single control Sea Moon Jellyfish, which appear almost at the same time.

After playing so many games in the arena, Xie Mingzhe has his own understanding of rhythm. For example, at this moment, the opponent is clearly ready to kill his single card in one second, so Xie Mingzhe must ensure the survival of the cards, so he summons Zhang Fei, who specializes in fighting thick skin cards, Zhao Yun, the most flexible, and Liu Bei, who has protective skills.

The card with the highest HP in the opponent's deck is the Moon Jellyfish, which has 120,000 HP. Lion and Musou Sword are both attack cards, with HP between 50,000 and 60,000.

Zhang Fei's heavy attack will trigger additional damage to cards with more than 100,000 HP. Xie Mingzhe's idea is that Zhang Fei will first attack the 120,000 HP jellyfish, and after it is destroyed, Huang Zhong will be released to kill it instantly. Guan Yu and Ma Chao will then kill other cards with low HP.

Summoning Liu Bei is to prevent the opponent from killing your core card in a wave, while Zhao Yun is to respond to the situation.

3V3 battle between two parties, the battle is about to begin!

The attack speed of the dazzling sun was extremely fast, and the water control of the moon jellyfish directly froze Zhang Fei - the freezing time was as long as 5 seconds, which was enough for the opponent to kill Zhang Fei in one burst.

Xie Mingzhe was not in a hurry to release the control because he knew that the opponent still had an Epiphyllum card, which was a chaotic group control, which was the most troublesome. He wanted to save Liu Bei's control release and wait for Epiphyllum to appear.

The weapon card Wu Shuang Jian is an anthropomorphic female sword spirit who rushes over with a sharp blade in hand and wants to kill Zhang Fei instantly. Gold cards have extremely high critical strike rates, and Zhang Fei doesn't have much health, so he is chopped to pieces in the blink of an eye. As a result, Liu Bei uses a gold shield to resist the fatal critical strike damage, and the opponent's plan to kill Zhang Fei instantly fails.

The freeze was lifted and Xie Mingzhe began a full-scale counterattack.

The bleeding Zhang Fei rushed to the front of the Sea Moon Jellyfish with great momentum, and smashed the jellyfish's head directly with his Zhangba Snake Spear. Zhao Yun went in and out seven times to disrupt the opponent's formation. Xie Mingzhe quickly sent Huang Zhong out - the sharp arrow broke through the air, and the Sea Moon Jellyfish was killed instantly!

Gold cards have a strong ability to concentrate fire, and all of this can be done within 3 seconds.

Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei's skills are unused, Xie Mingzhe wants to summon Guan Yu and let Liu Bei have another round of Peach Garden Oath.

However, the next moment, Xie Mingzhe saw a two-meter-tall flower suddenly summoned from the opposite side - the shape of the flower was very strange, with dark red petals covered with densely packed small bumps, which was extremely unfriendly to people with claustrophobia. In the middle of the layers of overlapping petals was a "mouthpart" as big as a washbasin. It was obviously a plant, but it looked like a man-eating monster.

He hadn't seen this card just now. It was obviously not in the open cards, but should be one of the hidden cards. This card is called... Piranha Plant? Before Xie Mingzhe could react, he saw the flower suddenly open its huge mouth, aim at Liu Bei, and swallow Liu Bei into its stomach in one gulp!

Xie Mingzhe: “????”

Seeing this scene, Xie Mingzhe felt his scalp tingling.

Human race is dead!!

Liu Bei's health has become 0, and he was obviously killed instantly. How can a card with full health be killed instantly? He is dead instantly!

Xie Mingzhe felt a chill down his spine. He took a deep breath and quickly calmed himself down. Zhang Fei took away the Piranha Plant with a casual normal attack - the instant death card's health was indeed pitifully low. It would kill others instantly while also being killed instantly.

The instant death cards are all one-for-one tactical cards, which are fair to both sides in terms of quantity. However, the strength of the instant death cards can no longer completely disrupt the opponent's rhythm. For example, at this moment, when Liu Bei died, Xie Mingzhe's deck lost its most important backing.

Without control and protection, there was no time to release the Three Brothers' Oath of Brotherhood. No matter how high the attack of other cards was, they could not fight a protracted battle. A quick battle was required!

Xie Mingzhe immediately summoned Guan Yu and slashed at the opponent's low-health output Ka Wu Shuangjian, killing him instantly!

Of course, the other side was not idle either. The lion roared and rushed into the crowd, causing a lot of fire damage.

The two sides started a round of firepower confrontation, and in the blink of an eye, they were all destroyed.

Xie Mingzhe immediately summoned Ma Chao, and the group accelerated in an attempt to delay time by moving around.

But at this moment, the opponent suddenly summoned Epiphyllum - group chaos!

Then a dramatic scene appeared: the Shu generals galloped at full speed, and their horses all collided with each other as if they had gone crazy!

Immediately afterwards, the opponent summoned another card.

It was an adult male, wearing a black robe, with long dark purple hair that almost fell to the ground, and merged with a cloak with blood-red patterns behind him. His eyes narrowed slightly, and the terrifying dark aura that surged up from the depths of hell instantly swept the entire place - Hades, the god of the underworld, was shrouded in death.

Hades, the god of the underworld in Greek mythology, is the master of the underworld. He decides the life and death of all creatures. The skill "Death Shroud" can make the enemy target group fall into fear and enter a state of slow death, losing 10% of their health per second for 3 seconds.

This card combines control and output, and its power is far superior to the Huang Zhong created by Xie Mingzhe.

The damage is also calculated as a percentage. Pluto's damage is group damage. The enemy group will continue to lose 30% of their health for 3 seconds, and the group will be in fear and unable to release skills for 3 seconds.

At this time, except for Huang Zhong who was at a long distance and Ma Chao who had just been summoned by Xie Mingzhe, the health of all the cards was very low. Once the 3 seconds were up, three people would die directly from the 30% loss of health.

Since making this new deck, he has won all the way to the advanced star card expert level. In the past two days, he has seen decks of various attributes and various different playing styles, and he was able to turn danger into safety every time.

But in this "Star Card Master Promotion Tournament", he once again met a tough opponent.

The humans killed by the Piranha Plant, and the group fear + percentage health damage of Pluto, these cards were something he had never seen before, and the suppression power they had on his deck was unimaginable.

But Xie Mingzhe would not admit defeat. Even if he lost, he would lose cleanly and handsomely, and he would kill as many cards as possible.

Surrender? There is no such word in his dictionary.

After Liu Bei, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu died one after another, Xie Mingzhe used Ma Chao to kill the opposing Lion. Finally, Hades, the god of the underworld, used the negative state of slowly losing health and the chaotic control of Epiphyllum to kill Xie Mingzhe's remaining two cards.

Even though I lost, at least I killed 5 cards of my opponent.

Xie Mingzhe looked at the word "failure" popping up on the screen, and he felt mixed emotions. He had used ten instant death cards to target all the major clubs, and now, the character instant death cards appeared in the arena. As expected, he could not escape the fate of being targeted by others even though he had targeted people.

This is the balance in the Star Card world.

No card is invincible, and no deck is unsolvable.

Xie Mingzhe speculated that this "Sunny" should be the alias of a master from a certain club, because when the character's dead card could not be entered into the database, Tang Muzhou once said "it might have been developed by a certain club."

Who could it be?

Just at this moment, Tang Muzhou sent a private voice message: "When can I ask the second team to PK with you again?"

Xie Mingzhe immediately replied: "Brother, are you free? Help me watch the video of this game."

Tang Muzhou accepted the invitation and came to the personal space, wondering, "What's going on?"

Xie Mingzhe said: "I won 49 times in a row, but was eliminated in the Grandmaster promotion match. Look who this person is."

He projected the video directly onto the large LCD screen in the living room.

Tang Muzhou and Xie Mingzhe sat on the sofa together, watching the video attentively. As the opponent's deck slowly appeared in front of them, Tang Muzhou's brows wrinkled slightly: "Such a messy deck?"

Xie Mingzhe said, "Yes, I am also very surprised. He has all five elements and directly abandoned the deck attributes. But he is very aware, and it doesn't matter to him whether there is a little attribute bonus or not."

The competition was intense.

It wasn't until the "Man-eating Plant" card appeared that Tang Muzhou's eyes narrowed suddenly: "A death card for the human race?"

Xie Mingzhe nodded: "I read the battle record, and it was an adult human who died. Brother, can you guess who this is?"

"He concealed it very well. He took one card from each of the five series. They are all very common cards. I can't make any inferences for now..." As he was talking, Hades, the god of the underworld, suddenly appeared on the big screen in a black robe. The whole earth was shrouded in a dark breath of death. Tang Muzhou was stunned for a moment, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and whispered, "It's Xu Xingtu from the Temple of the Gods."
