Chapter 157

Hero selection complete,

Gu Xuan entered the match arena.

He glanced at the first and fourth positions.

The first position was Zhu Huan,

and the fourth position was Zhang Song.

This hero combination, plus their positions,

could already be considered a powerful ranked combo.

At the start, Zhang Song would coordinate with Zhu Huan;

if they had equipment cards in their hands,

they could almost stably deal two points of damage.

Moreover,

later on,

Zhu Huan, with a pile of equipment,

could skip the discard phase and act as their own card library,

keeping Peach cards for Zhang Song so that Zhang Song wouldn't die suddenly.

If they didn't take out one of these two in a single round,

it would be quite difficult to fight later.

…………

In the live stream, there was no shortage of players who understood Zhu Huan's skills.

At this moment,

seeing the opponent's combination,

they couldn't help but type in the barrage:

"Zhu Huan is a ranked Divine Hero, wow!"

"Yeah! Plus Zhang Song, they can stably deal damage every turn."

"I reckon at the start, the Big Boss and his teammate will lose at least one health point each."

"Although after the Liu Yan incident, I don't dare say the Big Boss will flip his car anymore...

But this round, the Big Boss is definitely starting at a disadvantage, no doubt about it!"

"I must strongly agree with the person above!"

…………

【Game Start!】

【It is now the first position's turn!】

As soon as the game space's prompt sound fell,

the response progress bar moved to the fourth position, Zhang Song.

Just as Gu Xuan expected,

the Zhang Song player activated the "Offer Map" skill without hesitation.

A phantom of Zhang Song, who looked remarkably like Baldy Qiang, shouted loudly:

"General, do not worry, just look at this map!"

Skill 【Offer Map】 activated!

The Zhang Song player didn't hesitate to take out a weapon card and a Grain Interruption card and give them to Zhu Huan.

Seeing this, the Zhu Huan player

gave Zhang Song a grin,

【Gold Beans +300!】

Then, it was his turn.

He looked at the second and third positions.

The second position was Bound Zhou Yu,

and the third was Scheming Huang Gai.

Zhu Huan's gaze lingered on Gu Xuan for a moment.

He knew the general skills of Huang Gai and Bound Huang Gai,

which was just selling health to draw cards,

but this Scheming Huang Gai...

he had never seen it before.

However...

it wasn't a big deal.

Once their combination came out,

it was enough to crush ninety percent of heroes!

"Control the guests with the host, occupy all the advantages!"

The Zhu Huan phantom rode a white horse,

and spoke faintly.

His hand card count was the highest in the arena,

Skill 【Strive】 activated!

Skip the draw phase.

Although he skipped the draw phase,

the Zhu Huan player didn't feel any heartache at all.

In a ranked match, the first position can only draw one card at the start anyway;

using this one card, which he didn't know what it was, to exchange for dealing one point of stable damage to the enemy after the turn ended,

he wasn't losing anything at all!

The Zhu Huan player looked at the six hand cards in front of him.

He had drawn two pieces of equipment at the start, plus the one piece of equipment Zhang Song sent over,

so now he had a total of three equipment cards!

Later, he could skip the discard phase again,

and deal another point of damage to the other person on the enemy side.

The Zhu Huan player smiled slightly at Gu Xuan and Liu Wei.

Before he even played a card,

he had already reserved two points of damage.

What could the opponents use to fight him?

After equipping the +1 Horse, Eight Trigrams Formation, and Green Steel Sword,

the Zhu Huan player played a card against Bound Zhou Yu first.

Scheming Huang Gai had four health points after all;

even if he hit him,

adding the one point of direct damage later, it would be painless and itchy.

But Bound Zhou Yu was different;

a three-health squishy hero, if he was targeted and lost two health points, it would be fatal!

"Grain Interruption!"

A Plum Blossom judgment card was placed into Bound Zhou Yu's judgment area.

Zhu Huan played a "Kill" card against him again.

"Kill!"

"Flash!"

As expected,

Bound Zhou Yu had a Flash in his hand.

The Zhu Huan player shrugged indifferently;

the real show was still to come after his turn ended.

"Rest and wait for the enemy, sit and reap the profits!"

With the most equipment in the arena,

Skill 【Strive】 activated again!

Skip the discard phase!

After Zhu Huan's turn ended,

the negative effect of Baldy Qiang Zhang Song's "Offer Map" skill activated first.

"I offer this with sincerity, why do you hesitate?!"

Immediately after,

with a "slap" sound,

the Zhang Song player lost one health point.

After this,

the Zhu Huan phantom made another move!

He danced his sword and shouted angrily,

"Turn defense into offense, strike directly at the Yellow Dragon!!"

"Being kind to the enemy is being cruel to oneself!"

Skill 【Pacify Bandits】 activated!

He had skipped the draw and discard phases this turn,

so he could deal one point of damage to two players respectively.

Cyan-blue radiance surged on the sword's edge,

splitting into two sword auras,

which struck Gu Xuan and Liu Wei directly!

"Clatter!"

"Clatter!"

Bound Zhou Yu and Scheming Huang Gai's health points both dropped by one.

Seeing this, the Zhu Huan player

nodded with satisfaction.

Both opponents had taken one point of damage,

and Bound Zhou Yu was also hit with Grain Interruption.

A big advantage at the start,

it was quite good.

Bound Zhou Yu's turn.

Liu Wei looked at the Grain Interruption in his judgment area with a bitter face.

He had just seen Gu Xuan's hand cards,

and there was no "Unfazed" card.

He didn't have an "Unfazed" card in his own hand either.

If the Grain Interruption judgment actually succeeded,

then his "Heroic Pose" big card draw would be gone!

That would be equivalent to wasting a skill!

Liu Wei put his hands together,

praying sincerely:

"Card dealer! Give me a chance to pass the judgment!"

As he spoke, a card from the top of the deck was flipped over:

【Spades Wine】!

"Damn! Trash card dealer!"

The Liu Wei player cursed in his heart.

Was it that hard to let him pass a judgment?

Looking at the three remaining hand cards: 【Peach, Peach, Flash】,

Liu Wei was on the verge of tears.

He had no weapon,

and Zhu Huan had equipped a +1 Horse, so he didn't have enough distance,

meaning he couldn't hit him at all.

If he activated "Counter-Interrogation,"

he had two Peaches and one Flash in his hand;

no matter which one he gave to the opponent,

he would feel very uncomfortable...

Giving a Peach would be equivalent to wasting the skill,

and if he gave a Flash,

if Zhu Huan came with a Wine-Kill next turn, he would suffer a big loss without a Flash. 0 ....

Liu Wei hesitated for a long time,

and finally decided not to use Counter-Interrogation at all.

But just then,

he suddenly heard Gu Xuan beside him say:

"Use a Peach, Counter-Interrogate me."

"???" Liu Wei looked at Gu Xuan with a confused face.

"Big Boss, are you serious?"

Counter-Interrogating a teammate,

this was the first time he had heard such an outrageous request.

Although... it was very consistent with the historical fact of Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai,

but,

this is a game! Big Boss!

"Come on!"

Gu Xuan didn't say much,

showing Liu Wei a firm expression,

his face clearly saying "hit me."

"This... alright!"

Liu Wei gritted his teeth.

0.8 Since the Big Boss had said so,

then he would do it.

Anyway, he couldn't win this round relying on himself,

if he was going to rely on anyone, it had to be this Big Boss with the Divine Hero!

"Suffer, in the hell of hatred and resentment!"

Liu Wei activated the skill 【Counter-Interrogation】,

pointing at Gu Xuan.

A Heart Peach was displayed in front of the other players,

and the Peach fell into Gu Xuan's hand.

Subsequently,

only a "slap" was heard,

and Gu Xuan lost one health point.

Everyone present saw the Scheming Huang Gai phantom holding an iron chain in one hand,

and an iron hammer in the other,

roaring angrily at Bound Zhou Yu:
