Universe Infinite Canteen.

Chapter 369 Hard Shell Turtle
"Wait, why is my health only 12 points, less than one-fifth of yours?"

In the card games that Malu had played before, although the strength of the card decks in the players' hands varied, at least the starting environment was quite fair, with everyone having the same cards and the same amount of health.

However, Gu Qingyi's words left him speechless, "Because I have practiced the inner strength method."

"........."

Malu actually thought that what she said made sense. It seemed that internal energy techniques could not only be used as cards to provide true energy, but also increase the initial blood volume.

Maybe some secret manuals of magical skills have additional magical effects.

This is consistent with the positioning of magical skills in martial arts novels. No wonder everyone in the martial arts world wants to practice magical skills.

Because Malu had just arrived in this world, he didn't know what level of Bao Yuan Jue that Gu Qingyi was practicing.

After Gu Qingyi played two cards, he did not continue playing, but continued, "As the first player, I cannot attack you in the first round, so I choose to end my round.

"I now have three cards left in my hand, which is less than the maximum of five cards in my hand. Therefore, there is no need to discard any cards. It is your turn to play a card next."

Malu imitated Gu Qingyi and waved his hand, and immediately two green lights flew into his hands from the deck.

Malu looked down and saw one was basic boxing and the other was basic parrying.

Wow, are these the only two types of cards in his deck?

Since Malu had the last move, he could have attacked immediately. However, after looking at the pitiful power of 1 for the basic boxing technique, he looked at the 14 points of parry on Gu Qingyi.

Malu didn't intend to humiliate himself, so he just made two basic parries and ended his action.

Neither of them attacked in this round, so nothing happened.

Malu already knew that he was doomed to fail, but he still wanted to see what means of attack Gu Qingyi had.

Gu Qingyi did not disappoint him, "It's my turn again. I'll draw two cards first."

After saying that, two more cards flew from the deck into her hand.

Gu Qingyi then played a Bao Yuan Jue, which increased her Qi by 4 points and her Parry by 4 points. It seemed that there were quite a few Bao Yuan Jue in her deck.

Then she threw out another protective card.

The name of this card is Immovable as a Mountain.

This is the sixth move of Iron Armor Kung Fu. This move is even more powerful. It consumes two points of true energy to play it out. The effect is also very strong. After the parry is exhausted, it can resist an attack with a power of less than 25 points.

With this card, Gu Qingyi can be said to have guarded it perfectly.

To be honest, Malu's first impression of Gu Qingyi was just so-so. He felt that she had little experience in the world and did things in a clumsy manner.

But this battle somewhat changed Malu's previous view.

Even though he had an overwhelming advantage and was facing a game he was sure to win, Gu Qingyi still took every step carefully and was not in the least bit anxious for credit.

At this moment, she has the demeanor of a veteran. Could it be that her previous behavior outside was just a disguise?
Ma Lu thought that Gu Qingyi would launch an attack next, but she played two cards and said casually, "Pass."

"what?"

There is no need to be so cautious, Malu took the initiative to expose himself, "I don't have any decent cards in my hand right now, all of them are some basic boxing and basic parrying, you can just come at me directly."

However, Gu Qingyi fell silent for some reason after hearing this. After a moment, he coughed lightly and said, "Don't worry, I'm helping you get familiar with the combat." "Thank you, but I'm almost familiar with the basic functions. Now I want to see your swordsmanship, Brother Gu." Malu said sincerely.

"How come you have no patience at all, at such a young age? Just keep fighting. Are you afraid that you won't see him again?"

"That's fine."

So Malu could only continue drawing cards. This time he only drew a basic parry, but he was too lazy to even use it and just skipped it.

However, in the third round... Gu Qingyi still chose to defend. Not only in the third round, but also in the next two rounds, Malu and Gu Qingyi basically just stared at each other.

You defend yours, I defend mine, until the sixth round, when Gu Qingyi drew a card, his eyes finally lit up, and he shouted, "It's over!"

Is it finally here? Malu was also shocked when he heard this. He was a little sleepy after playing this card game.

The main thing is that he either uses basic boxing or basic parrying. It feels like every card he draws is almost the same. He keeps repeating it here infinitely, but he can't take down the opponent's life at all. He can only wait for Gu Qingyi to finish him off.

But Gu Qingyi was suspicious and kept on guarding until now. Now she was ready to take action, and Malu could be free.

As a result, Gu Qingyi immediately played out an Iron Chain Across the River, and consumed a little true energy to activate its additional effect, adding 10 points of parry to himself.

"Don't fight back," Malu was about to cry, "Can't you just hit me?"

Gu Qingyi probably heard such a clear and unconventional request for the first time. After a pause, he said, "Don't worry, I'm coming right away!"

But having said that, Gu Qingyi played another self-defense card - turning his body into a shield, which is the eighth move of Iron Armor Kung Fu. It consumes 3 points of true energy and its function is to double the parry value.

With this card, Gu Qingyi's parry value jumped from 16 points to 32 points in one breath.

Malu was already a little desperate.

He now understood that it was not that Gu Qingyi did not want to kill him, but that this guy's deck was probably already filled with protective cards.

I touched it casually and found that they were all protective cards. What kind of hard-shell turtle style is this? Just when the millipede was sighing.

Gu Qingyi has already played the third card.

And this is finally an attack card, and it is also the first attack card played by Gu Qingyi in the entire game - Iron Sword Unparalleled.

Millipede looked down to see the effect of the card.

——The Iron Sword is unparalleled, the unique martial arts of the Iron Armor Sect. It consumes all the true energy and slashes out with a sword. The power of this sword is equal to 1.5 times the parry value of the body.

Malu only felt a flash of black light before his eyes, and his chest was hit hard by something. When he came to his senses, his health bar had dropped from the full value of 12 points to 0 points in one breath.

Then the card game in front of him disappeared as well.

Malu resumed his normal standing posture, and Gu Qingyi sheathed his sword, exhaled lightly, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you."

Malu subconsciously reached out and touched his chest. Seeing this, Gu Qingyi hurriedly said, "Don't worry, we just chose the sparring mode, we won't get hurt."

"What if it's actual combat mode?" Malu checked his chest and found that there were indeed no scars.

"Then you are dead now."
