Chapter 14: Before the Battle (Part One)

otesque fish eyes glowed with fanaticism.Racing along, the throng of eager "fans" who'd joined the meet-and-greet were already quite numerous, so a few more wouldn't make much difference anyway—they c...Lu Cheng stared intently at the combat footage on his screen.

To this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name.

No matter what kind of competition it is, carefully studying the opponent and making targeted adjustments to one's deck has become a rigorous habit.

Each card master has a deck with a unique style.

To hunt down an opponent, a complete understanding is fundamental.

Liu Jun hasn't played many matches, but he has won them all very easily.

Watching such footage is nowhere near enough, you never truly know what a cardsharp will pull out of the deck when pushed to their limit. The game isn't over until all cards are played.

But Lu Cheng is experienced. For this kind of family scion, you could look at their clan's battle records, perhaps there will be some inspiration.

......

Ding~

Lu Cheng, who was studying battle tactics, received a private message.

"Lu, brother, I heard you challenged Liu Jun"

This Lei Fatzi is well-connected...

"Captain, how did you know"

"Oh well, look at the school trending topics, the news is right on the homepage."

Lu Cheng took a slight glance.

Three days later, senior Liu Jun will face off against the Academy's twin stars!

Life has three questions...

What about me

Am I not worthy of a name

Should I be under the car

"How did you know I was here" Lu Chengqi said.

"I saw this hot search, two sisters. One is called Tang Wenyao. Didn't you say this morning that you went to find your classmate Tang Wenyao As the captain, Brother Fat me followed up a little bit... Did you participate"

"Well, actually, I'm also in the Double J..."

"Hey, we just checked and the place is too remote, couriers don't go there. How would I send you the [Slime] Can I send it to Border Town instead"

Lu Cheng was taken aback.

Lei Qianjian and I were just temporary teammates!

"Captain, what's this"

"I've looked it over, it's not easy to win. I don't have anything else to offer you. After this, I'm out! Don't be shy, Lu brother, teach me that battle technique card, I haven't thanked you yet, hahaha."

"Isn't it about me winning so my sister joins the team"

"Damn it!"

"Thanks, I appreciate it. Keep the five-star white item for yourself; I won't be using it. See you later!"

.......

Ended the chat and looked at the hot search.

Liu Jun was very active inside, while the Tang sisters remained silent throughout.

Then, should you go up and brush up on your social skills...

This man is too many, Lu Cheng instantly backed down...

This is way harder than a duel! Maybe I should just keep studying battle strategies....

.......

The next day at school, Lu Jianhong brandished a jeweled teaching rod and tapped it on the electronic screen.

"You don't seem to have slept well," Lu Cheng glanced at Tang Wenyao beside him, who looked listless.

"No, it's just that my sister dragged me to practice making cards all night. I'm a little tired...."

The Tang sisters' mother passed away early, and their father, Tang Yihua, suffered a mining accident while collecting mineral cards. He inhaled deadly gas and has been bedridden for a long time.

The mine owner kept dragging his feet on the compensation, but it was Liu's family head, i.e., Liu Jun's father, who stepped in to reclaim it and would send people to visit Tang Yihua every few days.

But Tang Wuyao always strongly opposed having dealings with the Liu family. She didn't want to be shrouded in the shadow of the Liu family. She thought that she was about to graduate, find a job, and at least her family would have no worries, and her father could finally rest assured.

Tang Yihua naturally knew that Liu Jun was pursuing his daughter, Tang Wuyao. However, the Liu family acted impeccably on the surface, doing everything with measure. He also had a very good impression of Liu Jun.

As my own health deteriorated, I knew my time was coming to an end. I feared that my two sisters would struggle after I was gone, so I truly intended to entrust Tang Wuyao to the Liu family's care. Unfortunately, my daughter wasn't receptive to this idea.

Recently, Director Liu Chaoming came over specifically to mention the College Cup. If we could get our daughter to participate in the College Cup, she might have a chance to interact with Liu Jun and possibly open up more.

But Tang Wuyao really didn't want to compete with Liu Jun....

"You two weren't saying you couldn't win, just talking the talk. But your bodies are telling a different story." Lu Chengqi said.

I didn't expect the Tang sisters to be so eager to win.

"Want to win From young to old, my sister and I have always been in it together. We like the same things and dislike the same things... I don't like Senior Liu either."

"Oh, you two are so in sync! If you found a handsome guy and fell head over heels, would your sister follow suit Would she try to steal him from you Or maybe... both of you are prepared for... a win-win situation"

"Damn you! Just die!"

Today's social tasks are complete, social ability 1.

Lu Cheng is still very satisfied.

"Okay, there's an after-school cram session today. Want to come along with me........"

Lu Cheng took a look at the time.

"Where is it"

.......

The two of them can practice together in real life, but that would exclude Lu Cheng, so the three of them agreed to meet at school.

After school, most of the virtual areas of Donghua Academy shut down, but the playground was still open. Of course, public spaces can't really be considered good.

But only the wealthy can buy virtual real estate online, even virtual training grounds.

But the two sisters attended public colleges, obviously not from wealthy families.

Simulation of the night scene on the playground.

Here, in this place, lovers find their paradise. Lu Cheng and the Tang sisters finally found a "sanctuary."

Lu Cheng quickly entered a serious state.

Apart from playing team games with Fatty once, he had never played in a team game before.

Because he didn't like socializing, for many years, even when venturing into secret realms to seek treasure, he was like a lone wolf, walking alone.

Lu Cheng knew that team battles were superior to solo matches in both intensity and complexity.

Making it to the Masters Duel stage through team battles and ultimately achieving revenge is a brand new challenge for Lu Cheng!

Of course, he knew that in team games, communication is a very important part.

"Liu Jun is a fire-type card group, with high damage and a wide range..." Tang Wuyao spoke first.

High damage, wide range

Lu Cheng pondered, recalling Liu Jun's combat footage.

His flames are indeed often out of control, but that is a sign of poor control.

Strong cardmasters usually try to concentrate their abilities, rather than spreading attacks out for indiscriminate coverage.

"We need to figure out how to survive his first wave of attack..."

Are you alive

Wouldn't it be better to think about it from a different perspective

Although Lu Cheng didn't intend to interrupt his senior sister.

"I'm a lightning mage, Xiaoyao is a healing assistant cardmaster, uh, what about you, little brother"

Amplification aid.

Hearing this, Tang Wuyao's expression dimmed.

The mainstream support is healing coefficients, two healers might have a slim chance of withstanding Liu Jun's onslaught.

...opportunities for such niche professions, like those requiring augmentation, would be slim.

Tang Wuyao sighed lightly: "Let's talk about our cards first."

After about ten minutes, Lu Cheng had a pretty good understanding of the sisters' card decks.

The entire deck is filled with no money.......

There is no doubt about the civilian card group.touched his scar, a dull ache spreading through him. The experience at the graveyard last time flashed through his mind.This Lu Cheng is a master of mechanical devices from the Mohist school during th...
