People usually prefer to follow stronger leaders, unless their character has been proven to be extremely bad.

Mutual aid associations are a relatively recent institution, and it's not surprising that the leadership position is awarded to the most capable person.

Lu Cheng nodded, this was the easiest way. Card players always did it this way: if you don't agree, have a duel. If you win, you keep playing; if you lose, just learn from them.

Then it's decided.

He picked up the teacup on the table, intending to take a sip, and asked about the manner, time, and place of the duel.

The aroma of tea fills the cup, and wisps of steam rise.

Huh Fragrant

That's the problem then.

Lu Cheng observed silently, this cup of tea was not poisonous, but that didn't mean it was without problems.

Since he had stayed at the Winter Lion for so long, the reason why he drank fruit tea was simply because the other teas at the Winter Lion were not very good.

Both Tiansheng and Dongshi nations are accustomed to adding various seasonings to their tea, but few people know that there is a subtle difference in taste between the two countries' tea.

When he came through, it was in the Tiansheng Empire. He stayed there for much longer than a winter lion would live, and this cup of tea before him is from the taste of the Tiansheng Empire.

Coincidence Not impossible.

Lu Cheng looked around. There was a flower bed, unremarkable and ordinary. It wasn't difficult for a botany master to create such a flower bed. Lu Cheng didn't know much about plants and couldn't tell the varieties apart.

"Captain, are you people from Dongyue" Lu Cheng asked casually.

"Yeah, but I don't want to go to the front lines either. I want to do something for my hometown here in the rear." The woman in front of him replied.

"Captain, how about we set a time and decide on the rules for our duel I'm free whenever."

"Well, I happen to be free too~ Why don't we just go with it" The woman smiled. "According to the rules, you're the guest, so you can choose the way we duel~ "

The woman before him elegantly lifted her teacup and took a small sip. Lu Cheng glanced at her again, but couldn't find anything amiss about her.

It's probably just a coincidence.

After thinking about it, this kind of duel is the most common type of match between card players. It's definitely not something that could be large-scale or high intensity.

Besides, Lu Cheng wouldn't want to participate in the [Red Clothing] or [Dragon Boat Festival]. Any kind of duel would consume his lifespan, how could he possibly agree He doesn't care about living a long life anyway.

Think about the dueling method.

"Let's have a restricted-level duel, fair and square. Draw from common duel methods and ask the cute girl over there to help." Lu Cheng pondered for a moment before replying.

"Sure," the woman replied.

Random selection is the most common way to make decisions. Write common duel methods on cards and make a deck. Both sides just draw cards.

There are a total of 586 types of limited-level duels, and the card pack has 586 cards.

The maid beside him came forward and shuffled the cards, then drew one from the deck.

"Arm wrestling match!"

Lü Chéng had once seen, on the Ghost Ship, the ghostly pirates' card masters playing this game when they were bored.

Both players duel with their right hands, while the left hand deals cards, assisting mainly with summoning cards through tuning. The intensity is low, and powerful card masters often reap huge rewards. Of course, this style of play is usually unrelated to magic card masters.

The woman before me appeared to be of an unknown rank.

However, without [Red Clothes] and [Dragon Boat], Lu Cheng felt that fighting against the Purple Card Master in this way would make it very difficult for him to win.

Li Dali is not called "Li Dali" for nothing, even a well-fed whale shark is still a whale shark!

"Well, if the captain were from the magic department, we could just redraw it," Lu Cheng said.

"

The woman lifted her head from the card machine: 'Whatever you draw is what you get, I've never played before, so this one.'

"

Since she agreed, Lu Cheng naturally wouldn't be polite.

Lu Cheng took a deep breath. The Ghostly Card Master had once taught him that the essence of a bowl-breaking duel lay in not using full force at the start, but in enduring.

This girl looks so delicate, she probably isn't very tough either, right

Hands touching, judged by a maid.

One, two, three! Begin!

Incarnate as the guardian spirit!

"Card Summon, [Terracotta Army (Emperor's Tomb Guard)]!" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Lu Cheng held his breath, feeling nothing but the soft touch of the silk gloves on Li Qian's slender hand. He feared that even a slight squeeze could break her delicate wrist.

However, one still has to win.

Lu Cheng suddenly increased his force, the woman's wrist went heavy.

Extract a transformation card segment from the bloodline.

What was the woman muttering about

Lu Cheng was about to win. This girl was indeed

and so on

Suddenly, a huge force came.

The Xuan iron material was inherently heavy, with a power boost, but it was bent right down the middle in an instant!

"Card Synchronization! [Shadow Manta]!"

It's time to make a move, the girl in front of me has some serious issues!

Lu Cheng's retreating momentum abruptly stopped, and a huge fish's phantom appeared behind him.

Their strength increased a thousandfold, and the stone table beneath them shattered, vanishing into a card.

The materialized Yingkun exerts extreme weight. Even after synchronization, it places immense pressure on the ground.

Rose King's heart, for once, was filled with surprise. This person had registered as a Blue Card mage when they signed up, and their power level had been checked at the registration desk. Now, this strength could probably obliterate a Blue Card mage effortlessly! It’s unbelievable to believe!

"Double Release, with the bonus [Crimson Tattoo]!"

> Once again, they stand opposed.

She wore a mask, otherwise Lu Cheng should have been able to see the golden-red tattoo that appeared between her brows, shimmering with alternating light and shadow, quite beautiful.

Lu Cheng felt that the girl in front of him was too problematic. After the heavy 【Yingkun】 harmonized, the ground cracked open.

Can she actually still hold on

But Lu Cheng still has a trump card, he believes the other party also has

Stay right here.

Anyway, [Ying Kun] has been bleeding a lot recently. If it drops, it drops a little bit. Once digested by angels, the price could surge a lot.

The two stood at an impasse for a long time, but Lu Cheng seized an opportunity!

"Great Strength Elixir!"

Lu Cheng felt his abilities skyrocket!

The man pushed the girl in front of him down.

Although the side effects are pretty bad, this thing still works!

Rose felt the other party's power surge instantly. Her brow furrowed, her golden veins flaring, but it was useless. The other party's power at this moment was overwhelming. She realized that she might actually lose in a strength contest!

She's already been liberated in two stages, and now she's at her limit. It's impossible for her to be fully liberated right now, is it

Tremendous forces clashed, and the ground bore the brunt of it. Sand and stones flew everywhere. A stone whizzed past Lü Cheng's shoulder, tearing a small gash in his skin. It was nothing more than a superficial wound, though.

The rose sniffed.

The blood clan is abnormally sensitive to blood, especially that of a prince.

No one knows that the blood race can discern some traces of a person's life from the taste of his blood.

At this very moment, he was certain. The man before him was not a Winter Lion. He had lived among them for years, but he must have grown up in the Celestial Empire!
