[Lick, is it okay?]
Ree Shil unveils the card projection, which is a rather terrifying-looking white-clothed woman.
She has ox horns on her head and pale skin.
A long, bright red tongue hangs from her mouth, drooping all the way to the ground.

"Huh?"
Seeing this card, Asisi couldn’t help but feel slightly surprised.
Truth be told, she believed in Shil using the Kung Fu Card Set even more than Henry Thompson.
She had already revealed a damage reduction card, but what was this...? ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
What is this now? There was no mention of such a card in the data, and it seems to have a rather high power!
Henry Thompson:[I see!]
At the commentary booth, Director Thompson was the first to react.
Rose Cooper: [Director Thompson, have you figured something out?]
Henry Thompson: [Hehe, let me tease you a little first]
Henry Thompson: [Now, Shil’s tactic is indeed quite interesting]
Henry Thompson: [You may hardly get to see it on usual days]
Henry Thompson: [Let everyone watch it directly]
Rose Cooper: [Why don’t you predict their card reveals for the next round?]
Seeing that Director Thompson was starting to show off again, Rose Cooper wasn’t going to indulge him.
With just one sentence, she silenced him.
However, just like Henry Thompson said, Ree Shil demonstrated a very novel tactic for everyone after that.
First of all, it is important to note the commonality between [Pull] and [Knockback].
Both of them force the target to make a [Movement].
Keep in mind that, unless specified otherwise, [Movement] consumes an action, with a priority level lower than a normal [Attack] and lower-priority [Healing].
That is to say, once you have moved, the original [Attack] or [Healing] can no longer be carried out.
But the priority of [Defense] is higher than [Buff/Debuff] which is higher than [Movement].
If the target chooses to [Defend] or use a [Buff/Debuff], then the action is not consumed by the [Movement].
It will be carried out as usual and then[Move]afterwards.
So, skills that forcibly move the target are considered a lower-priority semi-hard control skill. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Ree Shil’s current combination of [Rhino King] + [Long-tongued Trickster] makes use of this to toy with Asisi.
The Long-tongued Trickster first [Pulls], then the Rhino King follows up with a [Knockback], and then the Long-tongued Trickster [Pulls] again.
Going back and forth, the opposing cards are effectively controlled for three rounds.
As a follow-up, Shil also plays the [A-39] to help the Rhino King recharge.
So they keep pulling and dragging the opponent’s cards back and forth.
From time to time, Shil would also summon a [Back Spirit] to block the damage output position.
Asisi was completely thrown off by Ree Shil’s tactics.
Rose Cooper:[I see, so the interesting tactic Director Thompson mentioned was this!]
Rose Cooper:[I didn’t expect that combining Pull and Knockback would have such an effect]
Rose Cooper:[It seems that player Asisi’s complexion is getting worse and worse due to the constant pulling and dragging]
Henry Thompson:[Her mood is understandable]
Henry Thompson:[This tactic may not be very strong, as it lacks explosive power]
Henry Thompson:[But when it comes to messing with someone’s mentality, it’s top-notch]
Henry Thompson:[I think player Asisi won’t be happy to be played with by Shil like this for much longer]
Henry Thompson:[She should be surrendering soon]
However, contrary to Henry Thompson’s expectations, even Asisi didn’t listen this time.
She stubbornly held on to the very end, only admitting defeat when her trump card was finally destroyed.
This made Henry Thompson feel a little depressed again. Feeling that everything was not going well today, he shouldn’t have come to commentate.
Anyway, in this round, it can be said that Shil advanced quite easily.
On the first day of the selection tournament, all 96 matches of the first round were completed.
he winners of each match entered the next round, and the number of participants was reduced from 192 to 96.
The second day featured 96 advancing to 48 and 48 to 24.
with a total of 72 matches, fewer than the first day.
In these two rounds, Shil easily moved on.
After playing through the first three rounds, he finally realized a fact.
That the reason the Card Club industry they belong to is called the top three in their city.
Truthfully, none of the opponents Shil faced could compare to the batch of coaches he faced during his initial 1v10.
Whether it’s their card decks or their card proficiency.
It’s not just Shil’s matches, he observed other matches too, and the situation was the same throughout.
Some players even made continuous mistakes in basic card calculations.
It’s not that they are really bad or have poor calculating skills.
But in a formal competition format, the round time limit is a real test of skill.
Especially with the added pressure of being watched by the audience and the pressure of playing against an opponent at the card table.
It is a huge test of one’s mental state.
Although Shil easily won, he was not used to this strict time limit.
