Sorry, But I Never Rely On Luck When Playing Cards

Chapter 1124: Chapter 428 [Way of Breakthrough] Clearing_2

He directly released [Dragon Soul Protection], but it turned out to be a wasted effort.

The premature loss of [Gold Soul Dragon King] caught him a bit off guard.

Even with subsequent maneuvers, he was still defeated by the Breakthrough Envoy once again.

However, this time, he saw hope.

Because the opponent’s cards were all focused on the [Gold Soul Dragon King], his own DPS became much freer.

Additionally, [Gold Soul Dragon King] reduced the [Full Penetration] effect of the Breakthrough Card to only 10 points, which made the left column even more unrestrained.

In the first two rounds, he took down three of the opponent’s regular cards.

If it hadn’t been for the wasted DPS in the first round due to [Defense], he could have done more.

After being defeated and transported back to the Pure White Space, he began to contemplate new tactics.

Thinking about it, his previous expectations were probably too high.

With [Gold Soul Dragon King] posing such a great threat, how could the opponent not try to eliminate it?

But since it was certain that the opponent would focus fire on the [Gold Soul Dragon King] in the first round, actually, he should be the proactive one.

Therefore, the tactical strategy needed adjustment.

First, he needed to take stock of his own DPS.

Since this deck had no cards like [Penetration] or [Full Penetration],

and with [Beginning Stick], a 0 point/40 attack card, the attack power was relatively overflowing.

What does overflowing mean?

It means that if the opponent’s first row cards did not [Defense], three 100 health cards could be dealt with just 300 DPS.

Any DPS beyond that is a waste.

Each round, all he needed was to deal exactly 100+100+100 DPS for the optimum outcome.

Thus, [Spirit Master] with 100 attack, takes care of one card.

[King of Ghost Fire] with 50 attack + [Kung Fu Sheep God] with 20 attack + [Ghost Face Sword] with 30 attack = 100 attack, takes care of another card.

[Gold Soul Dragon King] with 30 attack + [Sharp Shield Guard] with 20 attack + [Beginning Stick] with 40 attack = 90 attack...

"Damn, the DPS is not enough."

While calculating, Ree Shil abruptly realized something was amiss.

[Golden Arhats] could not inflict damage.

[Flawless Galaxy] could not inflict damage in the first round either.

This meant that he was 10 points short of the optimal DPS for the first round.

Therefore, the deck had to be adjusted.

Luckily, having played the Way of Breakthrough for a long time, he possessed several BOSS cards.

In the current situation, the card that could be replaced was none other than [Ghost Face Sword].

[King of Ghost Fire] with 50 attack + [Kung Fu Sheep God] with 20 attack + [Gold Soul Dragon King] with 30 attack = 100 attack

[Sharp Shield Guard] with 20 attack + [Beginning Stick] with 40 attack = 60 attack.

Considering that [Flawless Galaxy] could make up for the damage later,

he needed another card that could deal 40 damage in the first round, a 30 point card.

It was a fairly easy condition to filter for, and soon one card stood out.

[Abyss Skeleton General]

Breakthrough, 30 points, A

Attack 30, 50/50, 0/5

[From the Abyss - Passive]: Abyss Skeleton General gains +10 attack for the first 3 rounds after the card is revealed.

[Deceased - Passive]: Abyss Skeleton General’s health is reduced by 50.

[Unwilling to Close Eyes - Passive]: When Abyss Skeleton General’s health reaches 0, it gains 2 rounds of [Delay].

[Abyss Strike - 4 Point Energy]: Abyss Skeleton General attacks the target and carries the [Full Penetration] effect.

In a way, this card is actually pretty tough.

It wasn’t considered before because it had a very low health pool.

Even placed in the Next Line, it could be easily penetrated by the Breakthrough Card.

However, there was no need to worry about this problem now, at least for the first round, it was safe.

If [Sharp Shield Guard] [Defends] in the next round, then [Abyss Skeleton Lord] can withstand another round before entering [Delay].

If things go smoothly, it might even pull off [Full Penetration].

After arranging the deck, Ree Shil set out once more.

Hum!

Passing through the Teleportation Portal, he appeared in the Weapon House.

"Let’s go."

The two sides had quite a tacit understanding, speaking almost in unison.

Ree Shil’s new formation was fully observed by the Breakthrough Envoy.

He made a different choice.

That was to distribute a few cards to attack [Gold Soul Dragon King] and the rest to immediately take down [Sharp Shield Guard]. frёewebηovel.cѳm

This included the [Breakthrough Card] that directly penetrated the [Abyss Skeleton King].

Without a doubt, Ree Shil lost that game as well.

But he had a feeling that he hadn’t had before.

And that was... the Breakthrough Envoy was seeking change.

In the past, it was always him trying all sorts of methods, searching for a way to break through.

But today, with just one card changed in the deck, the other party actually changed their attack strategy.

This, in turn, gave a sense of panic.

Especially since the "Gold Soul Dragon King" wasn’t taken out in the first round, in reality, there was a clear momentum of gaining force and catching up in the mid-to-late game period of the card game.

This situation was undoubtedly far better than the first game when the "Gold Soul Dragon King" was taken out in an instant.

"OK."

Ree Shil felt assured for the third time appearing in the room, today’s matter was settled.

It was clear that the initiative was in his own hands; the other party was the one seeking change.

Just stick with this deck and this tactic, ride it out with the opponent.

His margin for error was actually much higher than the other side’s.

It didn’t matter if he lost countless times, if the Breakthrough Envoy lost just once, the game would be over.

He still had 70 chances at hand, catching one would be enough to say "OK."

This time, it was his turn to play home ground, answering change with constancy.

However, just when he thought the following phase would be about endurance, he encountered an opportunity in the third game.

After all, it made sense. The optimal solution for the Breakthrough Envoy was to focus fire on the "Gold Soul Dragon King."

Because if they focused on the "Sharp Shield Guard" and "Sharp Shield Guard" went on [Defense], they would be making a losing move without a doubt.

Ree Shil never lacked the ability to seize the opportunity.

In the first round, he took out the opponent’s first row cards.

In the second round, he legitimately defended with the outer card to attract fire, while the other cards continued their DPS.

With the support of "Flawless Galaxy" for Damage, he still managed to take out two and a half cards of the opponent.

In the third round, the "Kung Fu Sheep God" engaged [Invincible] and took out the last row card in the middle column of the opponent.

By doing so, the Breakthrough Envoy’s King Card was fully exposed.

For the first time, Ree Shil reached the opponent’s King Card with so many of his own cards still standing.

Moreover, it was under circumstances where the "Kung Fu Sheep God" was still alive.

And more so, it was in the fourth round.

So, what followed was simple, he didn’t even need to focus fire.

With one move of the [Full Penetration], the job was done.

"Win."

Under the card table, Ree Shil clenched his fist tightly.

This victory had not come easily; he had spent so many games and collected so many cards to win it.

It wasn’t about what decks others used to defeat the people of The Seven Path Envoys, or how much those decks countered them.

"Congratulations, you have become an achiever of The Way of Breakthrough."

To his memory, this seemed to be the first time the Breakthrough Envoy showed a smile.

"Thank you."

"Alright, go claim your reward."

The Breakthrough Envoy waved his hand, indicating there was no need for thanks.

Buzz!

Shortly after, Ree Shil flashed and left the room.

As the card table ended, Ree Shil left the Weapon House, and it quickly became quiet.

"Wow, impressive.

He actually won, pop."

Before long, a green figure appeared, a Slime Creature.

"P God."

The Breakthrough Envoy bowed respectfully, "As you instructed, I have lent out the Lord God card.

But still..."

"It’s okay, pop pop."

The Slime Creature, identified as P God, said cheerily, "Indeed he is worthy of that man’s legacy, no, I think his card skill is even more powerful.

Interesting, interesting."

Ree Shil would not have imagined that others who reached The Seventh Major Level would not even encounter the Breakthrough Card.

This was merely someone, no, a god, who whimsically decided to trip him up a little.

At this moment, he was standing in the Pure White Space.

Enjoying the spoils of war that were about to be his.

[Ding Dong!

Congratulations on officially clearing The Way of Breakthrough.

Please customize the card of your choice.]

"Customize."

Ree Shil was overjoyed at the prompt until it came time to choose the card attributes.

"Hmm?"

However, upon closer inspection, he found that something seemed amiss.

Why were two cards floating in front of him?
