“I’ll set two more cards, end turn.” Wen Xiangjie placed the two remaining cards from her hand onto the battlefield.
Thus, Wen Xiangjie had used all the cards she had drawn.
She smiled and gestured with her free right hand to Yinaya opposite her, signaling “your turn.”
Yinaya hadn't expected the last player from the neighboring school to be so strong.
A Clockwork Puppet with a full 2000 attack points, plus a Cloud Doll with 1300 attack points—if she couldn't mount an effective defense, and it was Wen Xiangjie's turn again, she could clear her life points in one turn.
However, neither the Clockwork Puppet nor the Cloud Doll posed as much danger to her as the two cards Wen Xiangjie had set.
Given Wen Xiangjie's deck strength and luck, Yinaya guessed that the two Mechanism Cards Wen Xiangjie had set were very likely epic cards.
Six epic cards at the start of the game—Yinaya felt as if she was battling a renowned Card Master.
No, even a renowned Card Master wouldn't put as much pressure on her as Wen Xiangjie.
Yinaya drew a card from the card dispenser.
Seeing the familiar Singer return to her hand, Yinaya breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she hadn't drawn the Singer in her initial five cards, thankfully, there was always a way out; she had still drawn this crucial life-saving card.
Moreover, the copy card and that key card were also in her hand.
Her luck wasn't bad; she still had a chance to win!
“Summon Battle Card: Singer.”
The familiar white elf once again appeared on the battlefield.
“Activate Mechanism Card: Mirror Image, copy Clockwork Puppet.” Yinaya once again took out that purple Epic Mechanism Card.
A Clockwork Puppet identical to Wen Xiangjie's Clockwork Puppet appeared on Yinaya's side of the battlefield. Even the Clockwork Puppet's equipment and skills were perfectly copied, with an attack power of 2000 points when using its skill.
The ability of this Mirror Image Mechanism Card was indeed extraordinary.
“Here we go again!” A freshman from Wen Xiangjie's school couldn't help but complain.
It was this Mirror Image Mechanism Card that had made them believe Ji Chenyu could defeat Yinaya, only for their dreams to be shattered.
“It's fine, even if she can copy a Clockwork Puppet, at most it will only offset one of Wen Jie's Clockwork Puppets. Wen Jie still has her Cloud Doll!”
“That's true. If Yinaya doesn't have a quick attack Mechanism Card, then in the next turn, Wen Jie can use her Clockwork Puppet to offset Yinaya's Clockwork Puppet, and then use her Cloud Doll to destroy the Singer.”
“It's just a shame about the 2000 attack power Clockwork Puppet… Hmm?”
Just as the students in the stands were discussing, the situation on the field changed in an instant.
“Activate Mechanism Card: Unique.” Wen Xiangjie waved her hand, and the Mechanism Card to the left of the Clockwork Puppet flipped over.
A large number one was written on the purple card face.
“Select binding target: Clockwork Puppet. Aside from the bound Clockwork Puppet, no other Clockwork Puppets are allowed to appear on the battlefield.”
As soon as Wen Xiangjie finished speaking, the number 1 on the card face transformed into a sharp sword, striking the Clockwork Puppet that Yinaya had copied.
The Clockwork Puppet let out a shrill “screech—” and shattered into pieces.
In the previous round, the Mirror Image Mechanism Card, which had forcibly swapped out Ji Chenyu's Epic Summon Card, was thus countered by Wen Xiangjie using another Epic Mechanism Card.
Watching the freshly copied Clockwork Puppet on her battlefield shatter, Yinaya didn't feel too surprised.
In fact, before using the Mirror Image Card, she had a faint premonition that one of the two Mechanism Cards Wen Xiangjie had set should be able to counter her Mirror Image Card.
It was just…
Yinaya gripped a card in her hand, looking gravely at the other card Wen Xiangjie had set on the field.
She wondered if this card would counter her trump card.
“I'll set a card and end this turn.” Yinaya threw the card she had tightly clutched onto the battlefield, setting it next to the Singer.
This brilliant exchange once again stunned the freshmen in the stands.
Including the Mechanism Card activated this round, Wen Xiangjie had already played five epic cards!
That was two more than Yinaya, who had a five-game winning streak!
They had originally thought that when Yinaya played the Mirror Image Card, she could at least trade for Wen Xiangjie's Clockwork Puppet, but they didn't expect the master to casually flip a card and directly counter Yinaya's Mirror Image Card.
So, the question was, out of the six cards at the start, five of them were now epic cards. So, was the card the master still had set on the field an epic card, or an epic card, or an epic card?
“It must be an epic card! Does that even need to be said?!”
“Not necessarily, having five epic cards is already amazing. Six epic cards… Honestly, in my dreams, I only dare to dream of having six epic cards at most…”
“I bet one common card that the card the master has set is definitely an epic card!”
“You're so sure, and you're only betting one common card? What's one common card good for?”
“Enough for you to sell and buy two packs of spicy strips.”
“You guys, how many epic cards does the master actually have? She easily pulled out so many epic cards in the first round. Looking at the master's heaven-defying luck, I feel like the master must have a lot of epic cards in her hand. I'll boldly guess a number: 10!”
“I guess 11!”
“I guess…”
The students from Wen Xiangjie's school had already started discussing how many epic cards Wen Xiangjie actually had in her hand.
Their current expressions were completely different from when Wen Xiangjie first entered the arena. From no one believing Wen Xiangjie could win, to now being absolutely convinced she would win.
It was Wen Xiangjie's turn again.
Wen Xiangjie drew a card from the card dispenser. She glanced at the card, smiled slightly, and immediately issued attack commands to the Clockwork Puppet and Cloud Doll on the battlefield.
“Clockwork Puppet, use skill Puppet Dance to attack Singer.”
One of the battle rules states that if the opponent still has battle cards on their field, one's own battle cards must prioritize defeating the opponent's battle cards and cannot bypass the opponent's battle cards to directly attack the opponent themselves.
The winding key on the Clockwork Puppet's back rotated a few times, and the Clockwork Puppet stiffly twisted its limbs and rushed towards the terrified Singer.
The musical notes surrounding the Singer were all shredded by the Clockwork Puppet, and the Singer let out one last mournful cry before shattering.
The life point number in front of Yinaya immediately decreased.
“Life Points: 2100.”
After the Singer disappeared, Yinaya's field had no more battle cards.
“Cloud Doll, directly attack Yinaya.” Wen Xiangjie commanded again.
