Chapter 120: Let Me Show You What True Immortal Art Is!
"Funny."
Guo Jia's player, upon hearing this,
curled his lips,
let out a loud laugh,
snapped open the folding fan in his hand with a sharp "snap," and gently fanned himself a few times,
"Even if it's your turn now, what can you do?"
"Not to mention you still have 'Joy in Shu.'"
"Even without it, with just those two cards in hand, plus two more you can draw, you've got four cards total."
"Four cards for one health—what kind of wave can that old turtle behind you possibly stir up?"
"Tired of holding back? Huh."
"I think you'd better keep holding back!"
After Guo Jia spoke,
all players except the Lord
wore expressions of amusement.
………………
In the Dragon Ascend team's spectator stream,
the comments from teammates had thinned out considerably,
nothing like the flood that poured in when Gu Xuan first started the match,
"Gu Daolao… honestly, he's being a bit stubborn."
"At this point, anyone would just have to pass."
"I'll say something unpleasant: even if Gu Daolao can pull off a miracle, even if his general, like the strategized Huang Zhong, can deal massive damage through marks,"
"one slash can take out at most one rebel—what good is that to the current situation?"
"True, I see zero chance of a comeback."
"Wait—hold on—is Gu Daolao… awakening?!"
………………
As Guo Jia and the others were still laughing,
suddenly,
during the preparation phase,
the divine Sima Yi behind Gu Xuan let out a mighty, furious roar:
"An old steed in its stall still dreams of a thousand li!"
Accompanied by this deep, resonant voice, as if breaking through all barriers,
finally free to roar with pride,
six 【Resist】 marks glowed brilliantly,
Awakening Skill: 【Bow to the Mark】 activated!
Reduce maximum health by one, gain the Extreme Skill!
With a "whoosh,"
the old, weary aura surrounding the divine Sima Yi vanished instantly,
replaced by a domineering, world-conquering aura sweeping across the entire arena!
He stared coldly at each player in turn,
causing Guo Jia and the others to feel their hearts pound with dread.
It felt like a hawk's gaze and a wolf's stare,
as if at any moment, the divine Sima Yi would tear off a chunk of flesh from them!
But,
immediately following,
the judgment card—'Joy in Shu'—began its judgment.
A card from the top of the deck floated into midair,
【Diamond Dodge】
Originally,
after being glanced at by the divine Sima Yi,
Guo Jia's player had been flooded with endless fear,
but at this moment,
seeing the judgment result,
that fear
suddenly halved.
"A Diamond Dodge?"
"Hah! Even if you've awakened, you still have to skip your action!"
"See what you can do now!"
Gu Xuan glanced at him,
gave a light laugh,
"Perhaps you've all forgotten Sima Yi's original skill."
As he spoke,
a "Patience" mark on his back revealed the deepest darkness,
