It was clear that Yinaya, just like him a moment ago, had drawn a crucial card.
Could it be that... Yinaya still had an epic card?
How was that possible!
Ji Chenyu resisted this possibility from the bottom of his heart.
If Yinaya possessed three epic cards, then the difficulty of this special event would be too high; no player would be able to complete it!
What, then, was the point of triggering this special event?
Before Ji Chenyu could think further, Yinaya had already thrown the card she just drew onto the battleground, and a clear purple light emanated from the card after it landed.
This was another epic card!
"Activate the mechanism card 'Mirror Image' to copy the card 'Windstorm Dragon,'" Yinaya said.
A Windstorm Dragon, identical to the one Ji Chenyu had summoned, appeared on Yinaya's side of the battleground.
Ji Chenyu's expression changed drastically.
Yinaya actually still had an epic card! And it was a mechanism card with an incredibly powerful effect that perfectly countered the current situation!
"Activate the mechanism card 'Quick Attack,' Windstorm Dragon, attack Windstorm Dragon!" Yinaya pointed her index finger at the Windstorm Dragon on Ji Chenyu's field.
The newly copied Windstorm Dragon roared towards the sky and charged without hesitation towards Ji Chenyu's Windstorm Dragon.
Amidst a violent crash, both Windstorm Dragons turned to dust.
"No!!!" Ji Chenyu couldn't help but let out a cry of agony.
The Windstorm Dragon was gone; he had completely lost all hope of turning the tide!
Even the students from Wen Xiangjie's school in the stands looked despairing.
They had thought the appearance of the Windstorm Dragon would end Yinaya and secure victory in this friendly match, but who knew Yinaya would, in turn, pull out another epic card, shattering not only the Windstorm Dragon but also their hopes of winning.
With such rapid emotional swings, even Ji Chenyu, who had endured for many years, found it difficult to control his emotions.
He lost all will to fight in the subsequent battles and was completely eliminated by Yinaya within a few rounds.
Yinaya secured four consecutive victories and remained on the battleground, her posture elegant and noble, like a goddess of victory.
The stands on Wen Xiangjie's school's side were utterly silent, a stark contrast to the cheers from the students of the neighboring school in the adjacent stands.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Headmaster Hillman, Yinaya won again. Your school only has one contestant left," Headmaster Danpier was no longer even pretending; his smile was as radiant as a blooming chrysanthemum.
"I'm truly sorry, I also didn't expect my luck to be this good this time, that the school would recruit such an extraordinary new student."
"In terms of luck, I think I'm still a bit stronger than Headmaster Danpier. Has Headmaster Danpier forgotten the championship match over thirty years ago, where I was the champion and you were the runner-up?" As Wen Xiangjie was about to enter, Hillman also stopped pretending and looked at Headmaster Danpier next to him with disdain.
At these words, Headmaster Danpier immediately bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"You have the nerve to bring up something from over thirty years ago? If you're so capable, let's compete again now!"
"Alright, let's bet on the outcome of this match. If our school wins, you publicly admit on social media that you're inferior to me. If our school loses, I'll publicly admit on social media that I'm inferior to you. How about it?" Hillman looked at Headmaster Danpier with a sidelong glance.
Hearing the wager, Headmaster Danpier hesitated.
What was the difference between this and a public execution? If he really lost, he would lose all the face he had accumulated his entire life.
Seeing this, Hillman scoffed, "Is that all the courage you have? You're not even as good as you were thirty years ago. You don't even dare to bet. Don't show off so casually in the future; it's embarrassing."
Provoked by Hillman, Headmaster Danpier immediately agreed, "Good, I agree to this wager. Don't go back on your word when you lose!"
He was aware of Yinaya's strength; she had more than just the three epic cards she had revealed—she had four!
Headmaster Danpier didn't believe any new student from Hillman's school could have more than four epic cards!
"Remember what you said; don't go back on your word." Hillman was so happy he almost wanted to hum a tune.
Seeing Hillman's vastly different behavior from before, Headmaster Danpier couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
He carefully observed Wen Xiangjie as she walked onto the battleground. Was this Hillman's reliance for the bet? How many epic cards did she actually possess?
The defeated Ji Chenyu and Cheng Yushu had both returned to the stands.
At this moment, the students of Wen Xiangjie's school, seated on the left side of the stands, were all listless, and their applause for Wen Xiangjie's entry was merely a perfunctory courtesy.
Yinaya's strength was unexpectedly formidable; with three epic cards in her hand, who could defeat her?
In their opinion, Wen Xiangjie's appearance was just a formality; it would be better to fast-forward directly to announcing that the neighboring school had won this friendly match, rather than sitting there in agony.
Ji Chenyu thought the same as the students seated nearby; he also didn't believe Wen Xiangjie could win this match.
He had a premonition that Yinaya still had a trump card.
With such a powerful opponent, how could Wen Xiangjie win!
Cheng Yushu also looked at the battleground with a solemn expression; he wasn't entirely sure if Wen Xiangjie could defeat Yinaya, as Yinaya's strength at the current point in the dungeon was indeed somewhat excessively strong.
Wen Xiangjie arrived at the battleground, and after she and Yinaya exchanged bows, the dice in front of them quickly spun.
The die in front of Yinaya stopped at 3 points, and the die in front of Wen Xiangjie stopped at 6 points.
This was the first time Yinaya's roll was lower than her opponent's!
It was well-known that the number rolled on the dice largely depended on the comparison of both sides' luck values.
Could it be that Wen Xiangjie's luck value was actually higher than Yinaya's?
In the stands on Wen Xiangjie's school's side, the students' spirits lifted, and they finally had a little anticipation for this final match.
Yinaya also looked at Wen Xiangjie with a hint of surprise; this was the first person she had ever seen roll a higher dice score than her, and the score was even three points higher.
Initially, both sides could draw five cards. Wen Xiangjie, as the first player, drew another card from the card dispenser.
"Summon the battle card 'Clockwork Puppet.'" Wen Xiangjie held a card between her right middle and index fingers and elegantly threw it onto the battleground.
A purple light flashed, and a puppet with all its joints connected by clockwork appeared on the battleground.
【Clockwork Puppet: Attack Power 1300 points.】
It was another epic summon card!
Was this really a friendly match between new students from two schools? This intensity, even the lower-quality Card Master tournaments in previous years were probably not much more than this, right?
But it wasn't over yet; this was just the beginning.
Wen Xiangjie threw another card towards the battleground; the card transformed into a purple stream of light, creating a giant clockwork mechanism on the Clockwork Puppet's back.
"Equip the Clockwork Puppet with the card 'Activate Clockwork.'"
