"Hehe, I really thank you." The unknown familiar man looked at the card he drew and let out a shrill laugh.

"No thanks." I replied casually.

Basic politeness can't be lost.

"Hmph." The unknown familiar man gave me a vicious look, "I'll change the iron sand palm to a parry stance, and then stamp a card in the tactical zone to end the round." ”

He finished the arrangement in one go.

The card that had just been drawn was now lying quietly in the ring with its back facing up.

Listening to the tone of an unknown familiar man, you know that this must be a good card; And judging from his move of changing the iron sand palm to a parry pose, this is likely to be a trap card.

He's tempting me to attack him!

Can I step into such a simple and crude trap?

"Paper boy, please act." The black-clothed masked referee urged me.

I hesitated.

"What are you afraid of?" Someone in the onlookers shouted, "Anyway, if you lose this situation, you might as well fight, if you hit, you can cut his life, and if you lose, everyone will go back to eat." ”

"Don't listen to him." There was another person in the crowd of onlookers, "It's right to be cautious, grit your teeth and persevere, maybe you can wait for the opportunity to turn the tables." ”

There was a commotion in my ears.

I slowly closed my eyelids.

The noise around me magically disappeared, and my closed eyes turned slightly, observing an invisible black and white ring.

In the ring, the opponent has four martial arts cards and one unknown cover card; On our side, it's a martial arts card, an armor card, and a known cover card...... Electrifying Stone: Return.

Now it's my turn, what can I do?

"Gacha!"

I snapped my eyes open.

A card slid away from the stack and fell into my hand.

Could this be a game-changing card?

I turned the card I drew heads up.

It turned out to be ......

Glimpse of light.

Jianghu martial arts, one-handed moves, power level two, attack level three, parry level zero; Note that this is a ranged attack and cannot be used for parrying or attacking (but it can be parried).

"It's you, old man." I looked at the card with a wry smile on my lips.

The 'Flying Light and Shadow' secret weapon technique that the Groove Horse Gang advocated for the earthquake passed on to me can be said to have accompanied me through thousands of mountains and rivers, overcome thousands of difficulties and dangers, and helped me save the day at critical moments.

My first card fight, it also shined.

But this time......

"I consume a little bit of comprehension and cultivate the general skill-level martial arts moves, Flying Glimpse." I decisively put Glimpse into the ring.

Seeing my actions, the unknown familiar man let out a silent sneer.

The intention of inviting you into the urn is self-evident.

Whatever.

I'm attacking!

But before the attack, it always felt like something was missing.

Well......

"I'm here to announce." I reached out and pointed sharply, "You're dead!" ”

"Are you stupid?" The unknown familiar man tilted his head and said.

The crowd of onlookers raised their voices.

It seems that this declaration is very unpopular.

But as soon as the words come out, I don't have any regrets - this is the strongest method in the world - Gui's spiritual victory method!

"Glimpse of Thunder."

In the air, there seemed to be a piercing sizzling sound.

The face of the unknown familiar man changed slightly, and he took a step back unconsciously.

"The Paper Boy has attacked." The black-clothed masked referee said, "May I ask the Dragon Suit player, do you have a trap card to launch?" ”

There was silence.

Everyone was waiting for an answer from an unknown familiar man.

He shook his head.

"Nope." The unknown familiar man replied.

The onlookers let out a cry of regret.

"So, the two sides roll the dice." The black-clothed masked referee announced.

"No need." The unknown familiar man spoke amazingly.

"Not really?" The black-clothed masked referee was surprised, "What do you mean ......?"

"I mean, I'm giving up this parry." The unknown familiar man shrugged.

The crowd of onlookers was in an uproar.

I crossed my hands to watch him perform.

"Give up parrying, you'll take two points of damage at once, are you sure it's okay?" The black-clothed masked referee reconfirmed.

"It's a little." The unknown familiar man pointed to the 'Golden Bell Jar' secret technique in his ring.

"Okay." The black-clothed masked referee nodded, "The dragon set has been damaged a little, please remove a jade of life, and then ......"

"Then, I'll activate the card!" The unnamed familiar man jumped to his feet.

My eyes narrowed.

Sure enough, it's a poor dagger!

"I'll activate the card—Tooth Secret Poison and Berserk Medicine." The unknown familiar man shouted violently.

With a flick of one hand, he flipped the card over the tactical area.

Secret Poison and Berserk Medicine, Trap Items, which are only activated when the player takes damage, will immediately gain a chance to attack, and the attack will definitely hit.

Card Special Effect: Players can choose the martial arts move to use for attacking, regardless of whether the move has been used or not; If the player doesn't have any martial arts moves, force one damage to the enemy; If the player chooses a parry stance, they can forcibly change the offensive and defensive stance of the move and then attack.

……

After reading this large section of card description, the situation is clear.

Due to the damage I inflicted on an unknown familiar man, he activated the effect of this trap item card to change the Iron Sand Palm from a parry stance to an offensive stance.

Then force the hit, dealing a little damage to me (one point reduction from the Iron Cloak).

And at the moment, I only have one jade of life......

Defeated?

No!

"Wait!" I let out a shout and quickly uncovered the only card in my ring.

Electrifying Stone: Return!

Do you remember the contents of this card?

Consume the arcane arts, which can only be activated when there is a parry posture martial art placed in the ring, negating all damage in this round and dealing ten damage to the enemy. Special: This card effect can only be successfully activated when you are actively attacked by the opponent during your turn.

That's right, now is the almost impossible moment - this card effect can only be activated when your team is actively attacking on your turn.

"The special effect of Lightning and Flint Return is activated, and one damage is negated." I shouted flatly, "And, directly deal ten points of damage to you!" ”

The voice fell to the ground, like a jade bead cracking.

The audience was silent.

Everyone stood for a long time before the black-clothed masked referee twisted his neck and said to the unknown familiar man: "Dragon set player, do you still have special effects to launch?" ”

The unknown familiar man did not move.

"I announce that the winner of this card gambling tournament ring battle is ......" The black cloth masked referee raised his hands in the air, "Paper Boy Player!" ”

Here is a word of nag: about the Gui Spiritual Victory Method - yes, it is the Ah Q Spiritual Victory Method known to Chinese. Although Lu Xun wrote the true biography of Ah Q for satires, I always felt that this kind of spiritual victory method is actually good, and the key lies in the practice after the 'victory'...... It is naturally sad and lamentable, but if you are able to stand tall because of this and support yourself to achieve true victory, wouldn't it be wonderful?

The spirit does not fall, and the spirit does not stop, and I encourage you together.
