Looking at the cards he currently had, even after adding the ones he had previously drawn, there were only eleven left: a two-star Mythical Quality Ring of Spells, a three-star rare Jackal Man Assassin Soldier Card, a two-star whiteboard Summoning Card summoning a Seat Wolf, a four-star rare skill card called Rupture Slash, a three-star unique summoning card for Summoning Ten Barrels of Alchemy Gunpowder, and a three-star Epic Quality Bed Crossbow Card summoning five ballistas.

These few were the only ones of any value; the rest were garbage, good for nothing but to be decomposed into nutrients.

Now the question was, how to fuse these eleven cards into one suitable powerful card?

Lin Xiao pinched his chin, thinking hard for a long time, with just these few limited cards, and they weren’t even uniform; it seemed he couldn’t fuse them into anything worthwhile.

More precisely, he couldn’t fuse them into a card that was too strong.

“Or maybe… it can be done this way?”

Adding Rupture Slash to the Jackal Man Assassin, fusing the two, would become a Jackal Man Assassin with this skill innate.

Or alternatively, fuse the Rupture Slash into that four-star rare heavy infantry card, so it carries the skill.

Or is…

“Hmm!”

Looking at several of the cards, a bizarre idea suddenly came to Lin Xiao’s mind. He narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and said:

“Could it be worth a try?”

No sooner said than done, he first picked up the two-star Mythical Quality Ring of Spells. This card contained a magic ring with a Level 2 monster summoning spell (strengthened) – usable twenty times per day, summoning a small group of Level 2 creatures each time.

Although of Mythical Quality, being restricted to summoning only Level 2 creatures seemed rather underwhelming.

But what if he modified it?

Lin Xiao had a bold idea in mind; first, he took the two-star Seat Wolf Summoning Card…

“Wait a second, maybe it can be done like this.”

He put away the Seat Wolf Summoning Card and took out another Jackal Man Assassin card and the Alchemy Gunpowder Summoning Card, throwing them all into the Magic Cube Space. He decomposed the cards, then fused them, in accordance with his concept, stripping all weaponry and equipment from the Jackal Man Assassins and having each carry a barrel of Alchemy Gunpowder.

Thus, a Summoning Card capable of summoning Self-Exploding Assassins carrying explosive barrels was created.

But this was not enough. He took out the Ring of Spells Card and threw it into the Creation Rubik’s Cube along with the rest of the garbage cards for decomposition into nutrients. Taking the Ring of Spells as the core, he removed the Level 2 creature summoning spell and replaced it with the summoning of Self-Exploding Assassins.

Then, with all the junk cards decomposed into nutrients for strengthening, the final result was a three-star Mythical Quality Soldier Card Self-Exploding Assassin.

Effect: Summon twenty fearless Self-Exploding Assassins, usable ten times per day.

With this, Lin Xiao’s sixth slot in his Combat Card Group was filled, and apart from these six cards, he held no others.

Twenty at a time, two hundred in ten times, two hundred stealthy

Self-Exploding Assassins…

Hehe!

With his intentions hidden, Lin Xiao chose to match with another opponent for the fifth time.

This time the matching was quick, taking less than half a minute to find an opponent. Upon entering the battlefield, he observed his opponent immediately.

“Two thousand Jackal Men, a thousand Goblins, three thousand Kobolds? Quite a bit of cannon fodder.”

But his attention was soon captured by the ten-meter tall stone figure standing in the back; that was a Rank 6 Transcendent Level Large Granite Golem, composed entirely of granite, unbelievably hard.

Yet, that wasn’t even the strongest asset; Lin Xiao quickly saw behind the Granite Golem, there was a huge Ballista Camp, with a hundred bed crossbows lined up, their sharp arrows gleaming with a metallic chill.

“This lineup is solid!”

This opponent’s force would require at least four five-star cards to field an army of this scale; he probably chose all five-star cards from the start.

In the previous round, Lin Xiao might have found it difficult to deal with this army. A slight mishap and he could have possibly faced defeat, but this time was different.

As soon as the battle began and the opponent’s massive formation started to move forward, Lin Xiao ordered the Central Army to stand still, three hundred Bear Goblin Boar Knights broke ranks and circled to the right to draw the enemy’s attention, while simultaneously, he rapidly summoned two hundred Self-Exploding Assassins and ordered them to stealth with their explosive barrels and circle to the left.

The opponent’s main force of bed crossbows moved slowly, which gave him plenty of time.

The Boar Knights, dangling far outside the range of the ballistas’ shots, drew the enemy’s gaze, while the stealthy Self-Exploding Assassins silently made their way to a position not far from the ballistas. Lin Xiao then gave the order for a full charge. The ten massive Mammoth Beasts immediately drew all the attention, the bed crossbows stopped, and the vast number of supporting soldiers began to rewind their strings.

Lin Xu hovered in mid-air, arms crossed over his chest, observing the battlefield. He was very confident in his layout; as long as the bed crossbow camp was secure, any amount of powerful enemy forces would be thwarted.

Though the opponent’s formation was strong, it was equally useless; the mighty bed crossbows were a counter to large-sized creatures.

He didn’t notice the stealthed Self-Exploding Assassins, as at that moment, their presence was merely a conscious descent into this virtual battlefield, without inheriting the powerful abilities of Divine Beings and unable to see through stealth skills.

So, when the leading ten Mammoth Beasts collided with the Kobold forces, Lin Xiao immediately ordered the three hundred Boar Knights to charge at the bed crossbow camp to attract attention.

“Block them.”

Mowen immediately ordered a team of Hyenaman positioned beside the ballista camp to rush forward, and at the same time, a yellow light flashed on the Granite Golem situated in the Central Army, a layer of yellow light appeared on the Boar Knight, slowing down abruptly, and they were squarely blocked by the charging Hyenaman.

Mowen promptly took control of the Granite Golem, the towering ten-meter-tall stone giant lifted its arms and slammed them down to the ground with a ‘bang,’ a ripple spread under the feet of the Boar Knights, and countless sharp stone spikes erupted from the ground, instantly assassinating dozens of Boar Knights, with the rest being stuck and restricted.

“Hahaha, your cavalry….”

“Boom boom boom….”

A series of intense explosions interrupted his words, and Mowen’s face turned pale as he turned around, only to see his most important ballista camp engulfed in fierce explosions.

One by one, figures emerged from stealth, each holding a large barrel of violent Alchemy Gunpowder as they charged into the ballista camp and set it off. In less than ten seconds, the entire hundred ballista camp was wiped out, while fewer than fifty Self-Exploding Assassins had appeared.

“That’s some serious power!”

Lin Xiao smacked his lips, giving himself a mental pat on the back for his moment of inspiration.

With the core ballista camp annihilated, Mowen’s strength was directly halved. Only then did Lin Xiao order his Super Large Fire Elemental to prepare for Rain of Fire.

An hour later, as more than fifty Self-Exploding Assassins surged forward, an earth-shattering explosion erupted, shattering the ten-meter-tall Granite Golem, and the seven surviving Mammoth Beasts charged and knocked down the cracked golem, breaking it into pieces.

“Awesome!”

Easily conquering another city, Lin Xiao was in a particularly good mood, contentedly opening the card drawing interface and randomly selecting three more cards.

One Five Star Kobold Soldier Card, capable of summoning three thousand Kobold cannon fodder.

One Four Star Goblin Soldier Card, capable of summoning a thousand Goblin cannon fodder.

One Five Star Hyenaman Soldier Card, capable of summoning two thousand Hyenaman cannon fodder.

“Well, that’s a full set of cannon fodder come to life.”

Lin Xiao was somewhat speechless. It felt wrong to say it wasn’t good—two Five Star cards and one Four Star card were quite the streak of luck—but the fact they were all cannon fodder was a bit disappointing.

No choice but to use them, and the fusion process was simple: merge them all into the Three Star rare quality Bear Goblin Boar Knight card.

Fusing the Goblin cannon fodder card into it, then breaking down the other two cards into nourishment and fusing them as well, he finally obtained a Five Star rare quality Summoning Card—Cannon Fodder Camp.

Effect: Activate the card to summon three thousand Kobold cannon fodder, two thousand Hyenaman cannon fodder, two thousand Goblin cannon fodder, and three hundred Bear Goblin Boar Knights.

After fusing the cards, Lin Xiao realized there was still one open slot in his Combat Card Group yet no card to fill it.

Ready to go, he continued to match.

The next battle was the fifth round. A victory here meant entry into the top hundred, a critically important battle.

After fifteen whole minutes of matchmaking, which made him start to think there was no opponent left, he finally got matched with an opponent. Upon entering the plane and seeing his opponent, Lin Xiao was stunned for a few seconds before bursting into laughter.

This time, his opponent was an Undead Legion numbering over thirty thousand, controlled by more than a dozen Undead Mages, and there were no other types of soldiers.

Or more accurately, there had been other types, but the opponent had turned them all into Undead.

Individually, the Undead were not strong, but a large enough number of them was frightening, especially under the current circumstances.

Even after merging three high-level cannon fodder cards, Lin Xiao had only seven thousand cannon fodder, while the enemy had over thirty thousand, which was even more terrifying.

Unfortunately for them, Lin Xiao had more than just seven thousand cannon fodder.

Lin Xiao was somewhat relieved that the last hand had dealt him three cannon fodder cards, providing enough cannon fodder to hold back the enemy and buy time. If it were like the previous round when he only had a few hundred cannon fodder, he wouldn’t have been able to withstand the charge of the thirty thousand-strong Undead Army.

While the Transcendent Fire Element could unleash a supercharged ultimate move, it would be spent afterward, and it wouldn’t be possible to annihilate the enemy completely—after all, the dozen or so Undead Mages weren’t pushovers.

Now, just as last time, he would draw the enemy’s fire upfront while two hundred Self-Exploding Assassins stealthily approached from behind.

Considering that the Undead Mages’ perception was too high and they might spot the stealthed assassins, he ordered the Transcendent Fire Element to summon a vast number of Fire Elements and prepare to unleash a massive spell, as before. The terrifying power instantly drew all the notice of the Undead Mages, allowing the stealthed Self-Exploding Assassins to successfully close in on their targets.

The Undead Mages reacted instantly, but it was already too late.

Then came a series of earth-shattering self-destructions, killing off ninety percent of the Undead Mages in one go.

Meanwhile, the Transcendent Fire Element’s overcharged Meteoric Fire Rain, unopposed by the Undead Mages, inflicted tremendous damage on the Undead Army.

In God’s Tomb Square, Lin Xu came back to his senses, looking exhausted. He pinched the bridge of his nose, as the intense, evenly matched battle he had just fought had greatly drained him.

The strength of the two sides was almost identical; he could only gain a slight advantage through meticulous command, slowly extending and consolidating the advantage until finally securing a hard-fought victory.

Fortunately, after the win, he drew a very powerful card. Otherwise, he really wouldn’t have been confident in continuing his winning streak in the next round.

In the square, there were still more than a hundred people left, but among them, the representatives from the HuaXia District numbered less than twenty..
