mperor, who would that young man be"He himself is the Emperor of Jian Shen Tian…" struggling to stand, Luo Ruoxi gritted her teeth."Then… what about the young man who learned my sword techniques" Zhan..."What's wrong, are you getting tired But in this duel, resting halfway will be considered a forfeit."

A feeble and deep voice slowly came from the darkness ahead.

Lu Cheng slowly opened his eyes.

This is a small house. At a glance out the window, it seemed to be raining heavily outside.

The indoor light flickered, illuminating the table in front of him. The table was littered with countless playing cards.

This is a showdown.

The table looked like solid wood, very long, so long that the opponent sitting at the other end was out of sight.

Lu Cheng could only see a black-cloaked old man standing beside the gaming table.

This must be the host of this duel, right

"No, I was just daydreaming. Let's continue, is it my turn now" Lu Cheng shook his head, which felt a little dazed.

He no longer remembered when he had arrived at this dim little house, and upon arriving, he sat down and began playing cards.

But none of that matters.

The most important thing is what's in front of you.

Lu Cheng felt a strong sense of foreboding the moment he sat down at the long table. This game, he sensed, was unusually important, affecting not only himself but everything around him.

"Before your turn begins, let me explain. Due to your card [Danjian Yuanshen], a chain spell was activated, and from now on, you will be subjected to a random number of [Tianjie Leiqi] attacks each turn. Your hand cards have also been attached with the [Sensitive] status. Please confirm this."

A friend who I've known for ten years recommended this reading app to me, and it's amazing! It's so useful for passing time while driving or before bed. You can listen to audiobooks here.

(Electrocution: When the Master Body is directly struck by a Lightning-type attack, it will transfer half of the damage to the cards in its hand.)

Lu Cheng took a deep breath, he could only barely make out the cards in his hand and those on the table.

"No problem."

"Alright, your turn," the old man tapped lightly on the table.

Boom!

There was a clap of thunder outside the window.

It looks like it's going to rain.

Lu Cheng turned his attention back to the game.

The damage of is extremely high, it's impossible for Lu Cheng to withstand with his current health.

But Lu Cheng wasn't worried, this bolt of lightning was part of the plan, and the deck of cards he had placed on his table were all used to utilize this spell.

Use the era card【Qin Dynasty - Hundred Schools of Thought Era】! Flip open the 【Spirit Web】, and settle up!

You didn't receive any direct damage this turn. Your Spirit Network gains 3 Yang Lei Spirit Qi cards. Here you go.

The old hand passed over three cards.

Lu received three [Yang Lei] talismans and carefully placed them on the spirit net.

"Not bad, Your Highness. I thought you'd end up playing yourself to death, haha."

A cacophony of noise echoed through the darkness, but Lu Cheng ignored it, a bead of sweat sliding down his cheek.

This is it.

He only had a few cards in his hand, and the game was almost completely open. Now that the last card was revealed, he used the energy of the Heavenly Tribulation spell to extract fairy energy from the [Peach Cauldron] and then strengthened his cards with the [Spirit Web].

Eighty-one heavenly thunders, but he hadn't yet combined them into the Nine-Nine Unity. Lu Cheng searched through all the exploration cards on the long table, but was still missing one.

I don't know how much the effect will differ.

"Round ends!"

The old man didn't speak. Instead, he walked to the other end of the long table, his figure gradually being swallowed by the darkness.

Lu Cheng was watching the cards on the table change, and he suddenly noticed that the lights above his head seemed a little brighter. The dark area at the other end of the long table dissipated a bit, revealing an Exploration Card!

This exploration card had been hidden in the opponent's dark zone all along, and now it has been revealed and placed in the west.

After an unknown amount of time, the old man slowly walked back.

It's your turn.

"What is that" Lu Cheng pointed at the newly appeared card.

"I can't answer you."

"That's for me to answer!" A voice suddenly boomed from the darkness, "This is the last piece of the puzzle you've always wanted. If you dare, bring your cards over and take it! Hahaha."

Lu Cheng frowned.

"Would you like to send your cards to this duel arena" The elder saw Young Master Wang Ming's deck and asked Lu Cheng.

"It's a blatant trap," Lu Cheng shook his head.

"That's right, Your Majesty. Although I don't know why you insist on gathering eighty-one, this last one is yours. Take it!"

Lu Cheng stared at the card, lost in thought. The other party seemed to know his plan as well.

"Hmph, hahaha." A laugh suddenly echoed from the darkness. "During your opponent's turn, activate the Divine Card to replace the light source of the game board with the full moon's radiance, replacing the lamp with the goddess of moonlight."fer to call this kind of strategy a 'sun's scheme'." Xun or pondered for a moment and said: "However, if Chaos intends to seize the crystal stones and succeeds, it will have a huge impact on us thousa...
