Chapter 172

After all, those two skills of Shen Pei,

one could only be used once, and the other was equivalent to nothing.

Thinking this way,

Gu Xuan reached out his hand

and locked in Zhang Rang.

"Open your eyes and see, now, who is in charge?"

…………

The moment Gu Xuan selected this general,

the audience in the livestream,

looking at the phantom of the general behind Gu Xuan,

instantly exploded.

"This voice... why does it sound so weird?"

"I think it sounds a bit like a eunuch..."

"Using this general feels a bit demeaning."

"Indeed, not at all as domineering as a Divine General!"

"Hey, you upstairs think you know more than the big boss again! With so many generals not to choose, the big boss chose Zhang Rang, he must have his own ideas!"

"The other generals are all standard generals, and there's a Boundless Cao Cao who isn't strong either. Picking the best among the worst, he really had no choice!"

…………

In the livestream, a bunch of players, for a small matter,

started arguing again.

On the other side, in the competition arena,

after the players finished selecting their generals,

Gu Xuan looked at the selections on the field as usual.

First position Lord Shen Pei,

second position Boundless Lu Xun,

third position Ling Cao,

fifth position Jia Xu,

sixth position Yu Ji,

seventh position Boundless Dian Wei,

eighth position Zhu Ling.

At a glance, Gu Xuan saw

that except for Boundless Dian Wei,

there didn't seem to be any obvious Rebels.

After all, Boundless Dian Wei had direct damage,

which countered Shen Pei very well.

As for the other players,

their identities couldn't be seen at all.

There was no cooperation with the Lord at all,

which might be because the other players weren't familiar with the Lord's general.

This was both an advantage and a disadvantage.

The advantage was that it was hard for Rebels to target the Lord; the disadvantage was that if a Loyalist wanted to assist,

they wouldn't know what kind of support to choose.

Gu Xuan guessed in his heart

that the seventh position Boundless Dian Wei was likely a blind cat hitting a dead mouse.

Choosing this general,

it wasn't certain he was really a Rebel.

However,

this kind of thing wasn't very important,

just an initial judgment.

Gu Xuan was in the fourth position,

he had enough time to find his Rebel teammates.

When the time came, the eunuch would wave his arm,

with the cooperation of Rebel teammates,

how much effort would it take to beat Shen Pei?

………….

General selection complete, card dealing preparation phase.

"Shen Pei?!!"

Gu Xuan had just finished silently analyzing the identities of the players on the field,

when a voice suddenly came from the second position.

It was Boundless Lu Xun.

"I've seen this general in the livestream of big boss 1314."

"It's an Epic general!"

The Boundless Lu Xun player looked at the Lord with surprise.

He didn't expect

to encounter an Epic general this round?

Then, as a Loyalist,

wouldn't he be able to lie down and win?

Upon hearing that Shen Pei was an Epic general,

the Rebels on the field, except for Gu Xuan,

the other players, while keeping their faces calm,

felt a tightness in their hearts.

They had all heard more or less about the power of Epic generals.

That was a height that many ordinary generals and boundary-breaking generals couldn't look up to.

The most typical representative

was big boss 1314.

Any Epic he took out

could crush all the generals in their general library.

Now...

such a general was actually encountered in the game.

How could this keep them calm?

The Lord in the first position, seeing the somewhat surprised expressions of the players,

couldn't help but show a satisfied smile on his face.

Choosing an Epic general, if no one recognized it,

that would be boring.

This was the effect he wanted.

After the Boundless Lu Xun player pointed out that Shen Pei was an Epic general,

soon,

he discovered something wrong.

"My lord, what's going on with your health points?"

It was his first time seeing

a lord

who, despite having a four-point health limit,

only had three health points.

And with no one attacking him, he just lost a point of health out of thin air?

Truly strange.

Hearing the inquiry from the Boundary Lu Xun player,

the Lord Shen Pei player spoke calmly:

"The price of a skill that is too powerful."

The Boundary Lu Xun player nodded in understanding.

No wonder.

With the Lord Shen Pei player saying it like that,

he had a comparison.

He had seen this situation before,

similar to the God Sun Ce of the 1314 big shot,

five health points limit, but only one health point.

Now, the Lord Shen Pei player had a similar situation.

Doesn't that mean

that this general, Shen Pei, and God Sun Ce

are not much different?

The Boundary Lu Xun player felt increasingly happy in his heart.

Then this round, as a loyalist,

he would probably be able to lie back and win.

Gu Xuan, who was silent on the side,

almost laughed out loud when he heard the Lord Shen Pei player say such absurd things with a straight face.

The price of a skill that is too powerful?

Is this sentence really used to describe Shen Pei?

It's quite ridiculous.

And the Boundary Lu Xun player,

he's also naive.

Does he really think every Epic general is strong?

The preparation time flashed by.

While a crowd of players was still immersed in their own thoughts,

the position one Lord Shen Pei player

had already entered the preparation phase.

He looked at the situation on the field,

and immediately fixed his gaze on the position seven Boundless Dian Wei.

This guy had direct damage,

and was so close; if he equipped any weapon, he could activate his skill to hit him.

By then,

he would be half-crippled.

He had to target him first.

Besides this one,

he would also dismantle the cards of the position eight Zhu Ling.

With a casual tap,

the skill [Fierce Integrity] was activated.

"Dying for the cause is a small matter; upholding one's integrity is the great matter!"

One card from Boundless Dian Wei and one card from Zhu Ling

were both dismantled.

This scene made the Boundary Lu Xun player even more excited.

In the preparation phase,

he could directly dismantle the cards of two players without any cost.

Just based on this skill, it was already very powerful.

As expected of an Epic general.

On the other side, the Lord Shen Pei player,

after drawing cards,

equipped a minus-one horse,

and then, without hesitation, threw a Slash at Boundless Dian Wei!

"Dodge!"

Boundless Dian Wei, who had been blindly targeted by the lord, was completely confused.

He secretly wondered what was wrong with this lord.

It was one thing to dismantle his hand cards right from the start,

but he didn't attack position two or position eight,

and instead attacked him, a loyalist.

After the Lord Shen Pei player finished his Slash,

looking at Boundless Dian Wei facing him with an innocent expression,

he couldn't help but feel a bit suspicious.

Could it be that he guessed wrong?

Is this guy not a rebel? Did he just pick a general blindly without knowing Shen Pei's skills?

"Forget it, it's fine."

If he guessed wrong, he guessed wrong.

As an Epic general,

his fault tolerance was still quite high.

The generals played by the players in this round were all quite plain,

with only Boundless Dian Wei having a Boundary Breakthrough.

In this situation, he was still very confident of winning.

As for the other one he didn't recognize, Zhang Rang...

The Lord Shen Pei player shook his head with a secret smile.

When he had his ten-game winning streak in the landlord mode,

he hadn't seen the general Zhang Rang in the Epic general options of the game space.

He was probably just a newly released standard general,

and couldn't be that strong.

Thinking this way,

the Lord Shen Pei player threw out a Peach,

restoring his health points to four,

and then equipped a plus-one horse.

The player Lord Shen Pei discarded another Peach,

restoring his health to four points,

and subsequently equipped a +1 Horse.
