Chapter 292: Knockout Round, Coach Shi Appears

A dozen preview answers for successful fusions.
Among them, the [bleeding] effect that Shi Li was most concerned about was also presented.
[Bleeding]: Continue to receive 5/10/20 points of irreducible damage in the next round. Any recovery effect can eliminate it.
The preview results are divided into 3 levels in total.
It's usually 5 or 10 o'clock.
The 20-point one is an active skill, but the main card itself is not very good.
Then, Shi Li saw an interesting answer among the dozen or so answers.
"You are such a weird person. What are you laughing at while touching the cards?"
"If you don't come soon, I'm going to finish all the grilled fish."
Huichun, who was at the dinner table, saw this scene and expressed her confusion.
"Nothing, have you finished eating?"
"Take these back after you finish eating."
Shi Li threw all the B-level cards he could give and all the cubic coins to the other party.
He wants both cards.
The reason why I laughed just now was because I saw that [Master of Sneak Attack] and [Blood-Cutting Knife] could also be fused.
And, the results were pretty good.
【Master of Sneak Attack 】
Balanced, 30 points, A
Attack 40, 100/100
[Noble - Passive]: Sneak Master's score -5
[Kindness - Passive]: Sneak Master's score -5
[Gift - Passive]: The attack of the Sneak Master has the [Bleeding] effect
[Martial Virtue - Passive]: The priority of the Sneak Attack Master's normal attack is increased to the unveiling stage
([Bleeding]: Continuously take 10 points of damage that cannot be reduced, which can be eliminated by any recovery effect)
The entry for [Master of Sneak Attack] follows the usual style and uses antonyms.
However, the key point is that under the influence of [Martial Virtue], the high priority of [Gift] becomes meaningless, and even something else may happen.
That is, the enemy's [Quick Purification cannot originally solve [Bleeding], but because [Bleeding] was applied in the unveiling phase, the [Quick Purification] and [First Aid] released in the action phase of this round can solve it.
This was unacceptable to Shi Li.
So he chose another answer, [Master of Martial Arts Tower].
Yes, even though it is a dragon head, it is still a human-shaped card.
The dragon head in the projection turned into a man with a flaming fist on one side and a blood-red sword on the other.
【Master of Martial Arts Tower】
Balanced, 40 points, A
Attack 40, 100/100
[Fire Ripple Fist - Passive]: The Martial Arts Tower Master's attacks have an additional [Ignite] effect
[Blood-cutting Dragon Sword - Passive]: The martial arts tower master's attack has a [bleeding] effect
[Rising Dragon Roar - Passive]: When the Martial Arts Tower Master reveals his card, all enemy cards revealed will be dealt 10 points of [True Damage] that cannot be [Defended]
[Kung Fu Leader - Passive]: When the Martial Arts Tower Master is the trump card, if all the regular cards are revealed and they are Kung Fu cards with seven series, the Martial Arts Tower Master will automatically reveal them.
([Bleeding]: Continuously take 10 points of damage that cannot be reduced, which can be eliminated by any recovery effect)
This makes it a double effect card.
[Bleeding] and [Ignite] complement each other a bit.
[Bleeding] requires a recovery effect to resolve, while [Ignite] can limit the recovery effect to a certain extent.
You have to know that in the card game with Jiaojiao, if a card had not been accidentally lost, causing the layout to be disrupted, this card could have been revealed in advance.
When all regular cards are revealed, the game has entered the later stages.
In the later stages of the game, as both sides have fewer cards, the game tends to get slower and slower.
In that round, I revealed all my regular cards until the trump card was revealed, which lasted for 5 or 6 rounds.
And you have to know that it was self-exposure caused by [Full Penetration].
So just imagine, if the trump card in that game could be revealed in advance, how many more rounds of output could be achieved.
Now with the addition of [Bleeding], the output will be even higher.
The only small drawback is that both special attacks [Ignite] and [Bleeding] have high priority.
It's a duplication if it appears on the same card, which is a bit wasteful.
But it's acceptable.
After sending Huichun away, Shi Li got the upgraded [Double-Stick Goblin] and [Martial Arts Tower Master].
Having used up all his wealth, he was unable to cause any trouble during the next few days of rest.
I might as well take a good rest. I have accumulated a lot of fatigue from helping the sword spirit collect fragments during these days.
Just like that, a few days passed quickly.
On this day, Shi Li once again came to the contestant seat controlling the small light ball puppet.
At this time, their small team only consisted of Feng Xiaohu, Huichun, Qingyu, Pingju and Xiangqi.
Both Shesdel and V-50 have been eliminated. Competition is so cruel.
This year, three players from Shi Li's city advanced to the group stage, which is a good result that has not been seen in a long time.
After all, from many cities only one representative made it to the next round, and most of them were completely wiped out.
However, the representatives from Lanlan City are very powerful. They are still standing strong until now, and there are as many as seven of them.
Since it is a knockout round, the schedule of this stage is much tighter.
On the morning of the first day, the competition was between the first place in Group 1 and the second place in Group 2, and the first place in Group 2 and the second place in Group 1.
In the afternoon are Group 3 and Group 4.
That is, 4 groups are played a day, and 32 groups are completed in 8 days.
Shi Li was in Group 9, and it was the morning of the 3rd day.
He will face off against the second place in Group 10.
The first game of the morning also included representatives from Lanlan City.
This card game was only average in excitement.
As the representative of Lanlan City, which ranked second in Group 2, they made a huge mistake in the early stages and were then attacked by their opponents at every opportunity.
In the end, he was defeated before he could even reveal the opponent's trump card.
After a long advertisement and singing and dancing program, the second game of the morning began.
"I am a little concerned about this one."
Huichun was not affected by the elimination of his comrades from the same city and expressed his concern about the second game.
More specifically, focus on the first place in Group 2.
The player who had left a deep impression on me in the dungeon stage, Shi Mo.
"This guy's behavior was too arrogant, so I hired someone to investigate him."
Speaking of this person, Feng Xiaohu seemed to have something to say. He looked at everyone and said, "Guess what."
"How do you say it?"
In fact, Shi Li was also paying some attention to this player.
When I watched the second group's game, I felt that the other side had hidden a lot of strength.
Not only is the strength of the deck average, but there are also some subtle and subtle loosening moves at the table.
This shows that the situation in the group stage is all under their control.
Although it seemed like a bumpy ride on the surface, we still got first place.
"The people who helped me with the investigation were very professional and had special channels for collecting information."
"As a result, all signs indicate that he is indeed using his real image and real name."
"This guy belongs to the first generation, which means he is a time traveler, not a descendant of a native or a time traveler."
"He comes from an ancient fantasy world with a high level of martial arts. His power system is close to immortal cultivation but not yet immortal cultivation."
"And the time it took to travel through time was... only one year."
As soon as Feng Xiaohu finished speaking, everyone looked at Shi Li.
They also knew some of Shi Li's situation. It had been nine or ten months, almost half a year, since they had traveled through time.
If we calculate by time, these players who travel through time are real novices.
So I didn’t expect that besides Shi Li, there would be other unconventional newcomers who made it to the knockout stage.
“Interesting.”
Everyone looked at Shi Li, but after listening, Shi Li looked at Shi Mo.
"But do you know where the strangest place is?"
"Because I can't find any history of his game."
Feng Xiaohu pointed out the key point.
"How is this possible? Even if it's not good enough, you should at least leave a record of the game in this city's qualifying tournament, right?"
Pingju was the first to express confusion.
"No, I heard that in some remote cities, not many people play cards."
Qingyu retorted.
"If too few people sign up for the competition, they will advance directly without having to compete at all."
"Of course, I just heard about it."
She spread her hands.
The cubic metaverse includes many races and many people.
Many people just want to live and work in peace and enjoy life.
Not everyone likes playing cards, and they are certainly entitled to like other things.
For example, the world map here is so large that it has all kinds of landforms and environments.
For those who love traveling, this area may be an area that they cannot complete in their lifetime.
And among these people, there must be some who hate playing cards.
Then people are divided into groups, and there are indeed some small towns where the residents are all those who have no interest in playing cards.
But the city competition treats everyone equally, and even a small city like this will get one or two places to participate.
If you compete in a place like this, you may actually get a through train.
After all, there are no competitors, and registering means advancing.
Of course, it is not easy to get a place in the competition by moving to a small town like this with a bug.
First of all, you have to be strong, otherwise it wouldn’t make much sense if you just go home during the dungeon stage.
In addition, you need to have lived in the local area for a sufficiently long time to obtain representative qualifications.
Only new players like Shi Li, who have a short time of travel, can reduce the residence time requirements to a certain extent.
It is very likely that this demon obtained the direct entry quota in this way.
"No wonder he dares to be so ostentatious. It turns out he is not worried about his poker game records being checked."
After hearing this, Huichun said he understood.
"But I did find some information about one of his poker players."
At this time, Feng Xiaohu continued, "His talent as a card player seems to allow him to travel back and forth to his native world."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, everyone raised their eyebrows and felt curious.
"It's just a trip back and forth to the native world, it doesn't seem to be anything special."
Qingyu asked doubtfully.
"No, it's not just a simple round trip."
"He regards the original world as a copy world."
After Feng Xiaohu said this, everyone finally understood.
This means that the opponent's deck of cards is likely to all be from the same world.
Ping Ju: "What did you say was his native world before? An ancient martial arts fantasy world?"
Feng Xiaohu: "That's right."
Shi Li: "In my own native world...will the card draw rate be higher?"
Feng Xiaohu: "As far as I know, there is such a saying."
Xiang Qi: "Doesn't that mean that, for example, if he beat up everyone in a certain sect in the original world, or even wiped out the sect, then he would have a greater chance of forming a complete system of decks than others?"
Feng Xiaohu: "You can say that."
Qing Yu: "In fact, he doesn't have to be as brutal as you say. He only needs to spend all his time in the dungeon getting along with the people from the sect, and he can increase the probability of the card pool."
Huichun: "Hey, he said before that he was from a certain sect , do you remember?"
Shi Li: "..., Poison Corpse Sect."
Huichun: "Wow, this name sounds like someone who is not easy to mess with."
Just as Huichun said, don't let a bunch of poison cards, zombie cards and the like come by then.
"But whether or not we'll run into him is another matter. The game has already begun."
Shi Li, who had hardly taken his eyes off the poker table, reminded everyone at this moment.
At the poker table, there is Brother Wu, the 2nd place in Group 1, and Shi Mo, the 1st place in Group 2.
In fact, unlike Huichun and the others, this Brother Wu is also a contestant that Shi Li is paying attention to.
Now the huge projection of the other party is standing in front of me. I don’t know why, but the sense of familiarity is getting stronger and stronger.
In a matter of moments, both sides had laid out their decks.
Hunchback Sister: [Here we see contestant Wu, who is the first to reveal his first row of cards]
Director Feng: [Hmm…]
“Hmm…”
Off the field, Shi Li's reaction was the same as Director Feng's.
"The game is over."
He even said so.
"Ah?"
Qingyu and the others didn't react for a moment and all looked at him.
"Look carefully, the three first-row cards he revealed are exactly the same as those in the group stage."
Shi Li pointed to the card table.
"Oh, how come you still remember it so clearly?"
"Yeah, I've long forgotten what deck he had before."
"It's exactly what you said."
"Tsk tsk tsk, it looks like there's no suspense in this game."
After hearing what Shi Li said, they all came to their senses.
Sure enough, after this game of cards, Shi Mo was able to win with relative ease.
Unlike Brother Wu, the cards he took out in this round were mostly new.
The strength is a bit lacking, so he took out 3 A-level cards and the rest are B-level.
This level of strength is only at the upper T3 level in the group stage.
But it was targeted and he had a firm grasp on Brother Wu's deck.
The only amazing thing about Brother Wu's deck is the labeling and forced restraint.
Then the strength is actually very average, also 3A + full B, the key is that it is basically what has been demonstrated in the group stage before.
This was the key to his loss.
"In the knockout rounds, who would still use a deck from the group stage? Aren't you just waiting to lose?"
Shi Li spread his hands.
Although he paid attention to Brother Wu, he was just paying attention.
There is no personal emotion involved, and whether the other party wins or loses has nothing to do with him.
“…”
Xiang Qi, who was standing next to him, was unhappy when he heard this: "Thank you, I feel offended."
"It's okay. I'll still use the sword deck when the time comes."
As a result, Shi Li patted him.
"???, didn't you just say that the old decks are destined to lose in the elimination rounds?"
Xiang Qi was confused.
"Oh, I'm different."
"You are different."
"I'm stronger."
"I think you have double standards."
"It's fine as long as we can win. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
“But you haven’t won yet!”
Amid the bickering between Shi Li and Xiang Qi, the morning competition officially came to an end.
What the few people didn't notice was that when Brother Wu left the stage, he gave them a deep look.
The main thing is that now their entire group is codenamed Wang Defa, and Brother Wu can't tell which one is Shi Li.
The competition in the afternoon was much more intense than that in the morning.
All four players took out new and stronger decks.
There were only 4 games in one day, but the audience was still not satisfied.
Shi Li did not miss any of the games during these two days and attended all of them.
Because it was a knockout match, he could clearly tell that the players were giving their all more than in the group stage.
In the previous group stage, there were only 7 T2 players with 5 to 7 A-level cards.
And if Shi Li remembered correctly, there was only one T2 player in the first eight groups.
As a result, there are now 4 more T2 players in the first 8 groups, which is more than half of the group stage players. Considering that only 2 days have passed in the 8-day schedule.
【Good morning, everyone! I am your hunchback sister! 】
[Hello everyone, I am Director Feng]
When the voices of the two commentators were heard as usual, Shi Li came on stage.
Sister Hunchback: [Today morning, the contest between the 9th group of qualified contestants and the 10th group of qualified contestants will be held.]
Director Feng: [Haha, speaking of Group 9, the chess and card group of contestant No. 2 Wang is really impressive]
Sister Hunchback: [Indeed, the performance of player No. 2 Wang’s deck in the group stage is already T0 level.]
[It’s hard to believe he only came in second place]
Director Feng: [In a card game, victory or defeat is often decided by a single thought]
[You can’t judge based solely on the strength of the deck]
Hunchback Sister: [Oh? So Director Feng is more optimistic about Contestant No. 1? ]
Director Feng: [Hehe, I am more optimistic about the side that wins today]
Director Feng did not fall into the trap. While they were discussing, the two contestants were already in place.
Before placing the cards, Shi Li looked at the opponent.
The opponent was using the same original form of the small ball of light as himself.
"Hello, I'm Gan Daofu."
"Hello, Wang Defa."
The other party greeted him politely, but Shi Li just wanted to complain.
Rice farmer, these three words are on the little ball of light's head.
But when he looked at it, he felt that it looked like a glutton.
Soon, both sides finished placing their cards.
【bite!】
With a crisp sound on the card table, the game officially began.
"I'm sorry for making a fool of myself."
Gan Daofu was the first to reveal his card.
The first card he revealed was the scene card.
"This card..."
Looking at the opponent's scene card, Shi Li frowned slightly.
