When Yinaya summoned the Singer, an epic card, in her first turn, it put even greater psychological pressure on Cheng Yushu.
The fact that the Epic Mechanism Card, Vigilance, was not in his hand meant that Yinaya’s strong luck surpassed his.
Cheng Yushu had no combat cards in his hand that could counter Yinaya; his only hope for victory lay with his Epic Mechanism Card, Vigilance.
Before drawing the Epic Mechanism Card, Vigilance, he could only grit his teeth and try to withstand the Singer’s attacks, doing his best to stall for time.
It was Cheng Yushu’s turn.
“Summon the combat card, Twisted Vines.” Cheng Yushu threw out a card.
Purple-green intertwined vines appeared on the battlefield.
【Twisted Vines: 700 Attack Points.】
“Equip Twisted Vines with Spikes.” Cheng Yushu threw out another card.
Black spikes emerged from the vines.
【Twisted Vines: 850 Attack Points.】
“End turn.” Cheng Yushu put down his card drawer.
Maximizing the attack power of his combat cards was the most he could do at the moment.
Fortunately, his luck wasn't bad; he drew a rare combat card in the first turn and equipped it with an equipment card, boosting Twisted Vines' combat power to 850 points, which would help him lose less health.
“My turn, set a mechanism card.” With a wave of Yinaya’s delicate hand, a mechanism card landed on the battlefield, face down.
No one knew what the face-down mechanism card was until Yinaya flipped it over to activate its function.
“Singer, attack Twisted Vines!” Yinaya commanded.
The musical notes on the Singer instantly solidified, smashing towards Twisted Vines.
Twisted Vines let out a wail and shattered.
The health panel in front of Cheng Yushu began to drop.
【Health: 2600 Points.】
“2600 points?!” Cheng Yushu’s expression changed drastically when he saw his health.
That wasn’t right; normally, his health should have dropped to 2750 points!
“The Singer’s passive skill is that when she attacks, if her attack power is higher than the opponent’s, the damage dealt ignores points boosted by equipment.” Yinaya narrated in a clear, cold voice.
Originally, the Singer’s attack power was considered low among epic cards, but with this passive skill, the Singer’s value greatly increased, making her rare even among epic cards.
Cheng Yushu pressed his lips tightly together, his fingers gripping the card so hard they turned slightly white.
The Singer’s passive skill was simply a god-tier ability for crushing weaker opponents, completely ruining his plan to equip his combat cards to minimize health loss and stall for time.
“Summon the combat card, Four-Horned Deer.” Cheng Yushu threw out another combat card.
There was nothing else he could do now but grit his teeth and stall.
The mechanism cards he currently held were useless in the current situation; he could only pray to fate for the Epic Mechanism Card, Vigilance, to arrive in his hand quickly.
After a few turns, Cheng Yushu’s health rapidly dropped to 900 points, falling below four digits and becoming precarious.
The students from Wen Xiangjie’s school watching on the sidelines also began to sigh.
“Oh, it looks like this match is definitely lost.”
“An epic card, who can beat that? And with such a heaven-defying passive skill, it’s hard to even stall for time.”
“Where is Cheng Yushu’s Epic Mechanism Card, Vigilance? Why hasn’t he drawn it yet? I’m so anxious!”
“Yeah, if he doesn’t draw that mechanism card, he’s going to lose!”
“What’s even more terrifying is, if Cheng Yushu, who has an epic card, loses, which student from our school can beat that opponent? Is she going to sweep all six of us?!”
It was Cheng Yushu’s turn again, and he drew a card from the card drawer.
A hint of a smile finally appeared on his long-strained face.
“Activate the mechanism card, Mind Control!” Cheng Yushu threw the card in his hand onto the battlefield.
A red chain appeared from the void, piercing into the Singer’s chest. The Singer’s eyes turned from white to red, and then, pulled by the chain, she came to Cheng Yushu’s side of the battlefield.
The students from Wen Xiangjie’s school let out surprised cheers.
“He drew it! He drew it!”
“Mind Control! That’s incredible!”
“Just like that, use the opponent’s epic card to defeat the opponent!”
“Flip the mechanism card.” Yinaya suddenly said.
The mechanism card that had been quietly face down next to the Singer was flipped over.
【Resolute Mind: Nullifies one of the opponent’s control-type mechanism cards (ineffective against legendary mechanism cards and God Cards).】
The chain binding the Singer’s chest shattered, and the Singer’s eyes returned to their original white. She made an angry expression at Cheng Yushu and elegantly flew back to Yinaya’s side of the battlefield.
The cheers from the sidelines didn’t stop, but the people cheering changed from the students of Wen Xiangjie’s school to the students of the neighboring school.
The stands belonging to Wen Xiangjie’s school, on the other hand, fell into a dead silence.
No one had expected that Yinaya, in addition to possessing an epic summon card, also had an Epic Mechanism Card, Vigilance!
“Hahaha! Wonderful, wonderful!” Danpier clapped and laughed loudly, “This exchange was truly wonderful! I didn’t expect such a brilliant scene to appear in a battle between new students, Principal Hillman, what do you think?”
“Student Yinaya possessing two epic cards is indeed excellent.” Hillman said expressionlessly.
“Oh, it’s nothing.” Danpier waved his hand, feigning humility, “It’s already very good that this male student from your esteemed school possesses an epic card, but it’s just a pity that he encountered Student Yinaya from our school.”
Looking at Danpier’s old face, which was clearly very smug but still pretended to be humble and was actually showing off, Hillman sneered.
What are two epic cards? Later, our school’s Wen Xiangjie will slap a stack of epic cards on your old face and make it swell!
With his only trump card easily nullified by the opponent, Cheng Yushu completely lost the ability to resist, and his health quickly dropped to zero, losing the match.
Although he lost the match, Cheng Yushu still gracefully cupped his fists to Yinaya again before leaving the battlefield, and Yinaya returned the gesture with equal elegance.
After Cheng Yushu’s loss, the next three students from Wen Xiangjie’s school were, as expected, quickly defeated by Yinaya.
They had very few rare cards, let alone epic cards, and they were utterly crushed without resistance in front of the Singer, the expert in crushing weaker opponents.
Soon, it was the turn of Wen Xiangjie’s school’s number 9, who was also the last player before Wen Xiangjie, Ji Chenyu, who had entered the dungeon with Wen Xiangjie.
Ji Chenyu walked onto the battlefield with a solemn expression.
