Chapter 98

After discarding one Attack card and leaving five cards in his hand,

Gu Xuan ended his turn.

The player in the third position, Boundless Da Qiao, watched this scene, having assumed it was her turn next.

Suddenly, she heard,

from where Gu Xuan was,

a resolute voice ring out:

“The campaign to conquer Wu has a nine-in-ten chance of success; I pray Your Majesty considers it!”

Skill [Three Chen] activated!

Du Yu awakened and gained the skill [Exterminate Wu]!

This voice drew the gaze of every player at the table.

Immediately after,

they saw

a vibrant green light flash from Du Yu,

causing his original five-point health limit

to instantly become six.

“This is… an awakening?!”

The player in the eighth position, Boundless Jiang Wei, stared at this scene in disbelief.

Typical awakening skills usually trigger during the preparation phase.

Initially, seeing that Gu Xuan hadn’t awakened at the start of his turn,

he had assumed some condition hadn’t been met.

As it turned out,

he had awakened only after his turn ended.

“But this awakening condition,”

“is way too easy!”

He had seen it clearly:

Gu Xuan had only collected three [Arsenal] marks to awaken!

In other words, as long as three pieces of equipment were equipped,

he could awaken!

In an eight-player military battle, that would take at most one or two rounds; it really couldn't be any easier!

Meanwhile, for his own general to awaken, he had to miserably discard all the cards in his hand.

If he didn't time it perfectly,

he might get crippled by an opponent using a Bone-Cleaving Blade and a Wine-enhanced Attack,

or even get eliminated.

What was even stranger was:

Doesn't an awakening usually grant a powerful skill

at the cost of reducing one's maximum health by one point?!

Could someone explain to him

why the Lord’s general

actually gained a point of maximum health upon awakening?!

Six health points—that’s as tanky as Boundless Lu Bu as a Lord!

“Could it be…”

“that the Lord’s skill after awakening isn't actually very strong?!”

That would be the only logical explanation.

Otherwise, six health points plus a powerful skill

would be… a bit too absurd, wouldn't it?

Boundless Jiang Wei could only rationalize it this way.

When it reached the turn of the Boundless Da Qiao player,

she drew two cards and then discarded a Diamond card from her hand.

Skill [National Beauty] was unleashed once more,

converting the Diamond card into a Le Bu Si Shu (Enjoyment of Shu).

At the same time, she drew a card.

“Please, take a rest.”

Another Le Bu Si Shu was placed into Gu Xuan’s judgment area!

The Boundless Da Qiao player curled her lips.

So what if he awakened?

Although the Lord had passed the judgment on the previous Le Bu Si Shu,

from here on out,

with her around, there would be an endless supply of Le Bu Si Shu waiting for the Lord!

After placing the Le Bu Si Shu on Gu Xuan,

Boundless Da Qiao turned her gaze toward Boundless Sun Sun Shangxiang.

Boundless Sun Sun Shangxiang had been hit with a Le Bu Si Shu by Xun You in the previous round,

and now she only had one card left in her hand.

Furthermore, when Xun You attacked her last turn, she didn't play a Dodge,

which meant it was highly likely she had no Dodge in hand.

In that case, there was no need to be polite.

“Attack!”

Boundless Da Qiao discarded an Attack card.

“Clack!”

Sure enough, Boundless Sun Sun Shangxiang had no Dodge!

Seeing Boundless Sun Sun Shangxiang lose a point of health,

leaving her with only one health point remaining,

Boundless Da Qiao’s eyes lit up.

She had made a contribution this time!

This strike had left Boundless Sun Sun Shangxiang with only one health point.

Once the Le Bu Si Shu took effect, Boundless Sun Sun Shangxiang would only be able to keep one card in hand,

and with two Rebel teammates still to follow,

it was highly probable she wouldn't survive this round!

She had seen the synergy between Boundless Sun Sun Shangxiang and the Lord

in the previous round with her own eyes.

If she could eliminate Boundless Sun Sun Shangxiang, the Rebels’ advantage would be pulled back!

The game space prompted

that it was now the Boundless Sun Sun Shangxiang player’s turn.

She looked at the Le Bu Si Shu in her judgment area

and sighed softly.

If this Le Bu Si Shu took effect,

she would most likely be eliminated.

The Lord had already passed one Le Bu Si Shu judgment in the previous round,

and it was unlikely she would pass this one as well.

Just as the Boundless Sun Sun Shangxiang player felt dejected,

waiting for the judgment,

Suddenly,

she saw a card fly out from Gu Xuan’s hand.

At the same time,

Du Yu’s confident voice rang out across the match arena:

"Our army’s momentum is like splitting bamboo; the six commanderies of Jiangdong are within our grasp!"

Skill [Destroy Wu] activated!

The [Armory] mark on Du Yu’s upper body decreased by 1,

transforming into a bright white ray of light

that enveloped the Kill card Gu Xuan had played.

In an instant,

the Kill was converted into an Unanswerable,

responding to the "Do Not Think of Shu" in the judgment area of the Boundary Sun Sun Shangxiang!

Subsequently,

Gu Xuan drew another card from the deck.

At this moment on the field,

no one else responded to Gu Xuan’s Unanswerable.

The Pink Mystery Tent was broken,

and the "Do Not Think of Shu" on the Boundary Sun Sun Shangxiang player immediately became ineffective!

"This is... a conversion card?!!"

Xun You looked at Gu Xuan and frowned; this awakening skill of Du Yu’s was somewhat similar to his own?

However,

could this skill convert all ordinary strategy cards just like his?

That would be a bit too exaggerated, wouldn't it?!

You have to know,

he has to discard all his hand cards to convert strategy cards,

and even then,

he felt this skill was already considered very powerful.

But looking at it just now, Du Yu only discarded one card to convert an Unanswerable,

and what’s more!

After he finished converting, he even drew a card!

Isn't that equivalent to getting it for free?

Never mind the consumption of the Armory mark;

in an eight-player military battle, someone will always equip weapons,

and for every one equipped, Du Yu gets a mark.

What difference does this consumption make at all?!
