Chapter 945: Chapter 614: Return to the Void

After compensating for the training ground, Li Pu decided to head to Seven-Star Street.

He wanted to visit Teacher Li Fan, restock supplies, and withdraw some funds.

While he was at it, he planned to chat about things related to the descending god period.

This time, he didn’t take Bus No. 2; instead, he found a taxi at the school gate.

Arriving at Fan Fan’s Card House, Li Fan was still leisurely sitting there with his legs crossed, sipping tea.

Recently, his days had been quite relaxed, whether it was watching the hustle and bustle in his shop or playing cards with other shop owners.

The key point was that now he had become an important figure in Seven-Star Street.

As for rare cards, Fan Fan’s Card House undoubtedly was the leading stall.

Now, in the entire capital’s card game circle, anyone looking to buy rare cards first thought of Fan Fan’s Card House, and the reputation had even started to spread beyond, attracting customers from outside the Hua District recently.

Initially, Fan Fan’s Card House was just selling Li Pu’s rare cards, and its influence wasn’t that great.

But after several rounds of restocking by Li Pu, many customers began to notice the store’s uniqueness.

It wasn’t just the quantity of rare cards but also their quality.

Therefore, it gradually developed to the point where people buying rare cards would prioritize Fan Fan’s Card House, and even those selling rare cards set it as their first choice.

Like that, the snowball kept rolling bigger and bigger, and now the shipment volume of rare cards from one shop was enough to match 90% of the entire street.

On this street, wherever Li Fan went, he was greeted with smiles, making him feel extremely pleased.

"You’re here."

Having received Ah Yajun’s call in advance, Li Fan wasn’t surprised to see Li Pu and got up to lead him into the inner room.

If time permitted, every time Li Pu came, he would first receive a lesson from the teacher.

Thus began the torment on the card table for Li Pu, lasting for 2 hours.

"Not bad, not bad. You’re almost ready to graduate."

"It’s a pity you couldn’t hold on in the end."

"Your deck strategy is still incomplete."

After the session ended, Li Fan sat down, still eager for more.

"...Is that even possible?"

Li Pu could only feel speechless.

With the version update, his confidence in his Dragon Deck had reached its peak.

Adding the S-rank scenario card [Dragon’s Might and Torpor], he thought it was time to bring out this deck and finally beat the teacher.

However, Li Fan countered with his Dragon Slayer deck and crushed him.

Typically, people wouldn’t put such a specialized counter deck into their substitute card decks without reason.

But he was Li Fan, not an ordinary person.

He was the teacher, a teacher who cared about his students.

A good teacher willing to go to great lengths and conduct thorough investigations to maintain his prestige in front of his pupils.

Ever since the initial Southwest Star Cup, he knew Li Pu had a dragon card — [Dragon Lady Tree].

Yet in subsequent matches against him, this card never appeared once.

This clearly indicated an attempt to make a big move to retaliate against him someday.

Thus, from long ago, Li Fan had started collecting dragon slayer cards.

"Alright, let’s talk about this Divine Cup now."

He gestured for Li Pu to sit down, wearing the demeanor of a victor.

"Divine Cup?"

Li Pu raised an eyebrow.

It seemed like the teacher knew some inside information.

"Yes, the basic competition rules have been set."

Li Fan indeed had some connections in the association and had known about crucial information in advance.

"The first two rounds will be held online."

"They will be using a 3+1 and 4+1 format, respectively."

Upon hearing this, Li Pu was already somewhat surprised.

Considering the number of players across the entire federation, it’s not strange for the initial preliminaries to be held online.

But 3+1 and 4+1 formats aren’t very friendly to experts.

With only 4 or 5 cards allowed, there’s more variability than usual.

Games like 6+1 or 9+1 can fully demonstrate a player’s card pool depth and skill.

These first two rounds seemed to be providing opportunities for not-so-strong players.

Chances to defeat the experts.

"The final main event will select ten thousand participants."

"Currently, there are 319 active King-tier players in the entire federation."

"Including those who hide their strength or retire, there are approximately 1,000 players at that tier level."

"You still have a big chance."

Li Fan believed that under his training, Li Pu has now reached mid-level master tier.

If he takes it seriously and pairs it with various rare cards, entering the top ten thousand shouldn’t be difficult.

"Looks like after the qualifiers, I’ll need to spend some time playing cards seriously."

Li Pu was genuinely interested.

It’s not about seeking rewards or representing humanity in asking questions; it was about wanting to meet the so-called gods at the card table.

While he wouldn’t be able to confidently claim he could secure a spot in the top ten thousand federation players.

"And I also found out about the three gods descending this time."

Li Fan continued.

"They are the God of Justice, the God of Inversion, and the One-Eyed God."

"Moreover, due to some special reasons, they will be participating from the top ten thousand phase competition."

"This means effectively we players are vying for 9,997 spots online."

What he described now was the most unique aspect of this tournament format.

Gods directly participate in the elimination phase.

"?"

But upon hearing this, Li Pu expressed his confusion.

"What happens if a god is eliminated?"

He asked, puzzled.
