On the commentary platform, the seasoned commentator's voice rose sharply after a brief moment of shock, brimming with incredulous excitement.
"This... this is!"
"Who would’ve thought a contestant would reveal such a trump card as early as the second stage?"
"If I’m not mistaken... this should be a... sixth-tier Legendary Card!"
"It absolutely possesses the power to challenge ordinary seventh-tier elites!"
"Oh no!"
"Contestant Lin Han is actually a 'Summoner-type' Card Wielder? Logically, his personal combat ability should be weaker..."
"Yet his test results ranked him third?"
"Is this the legendary 'defeating your strongest with my weakest'?"
"Contestant Liu Yuan likely stands no chance now."
"Let’s just hope she can showcase her combat skills a bit more to earn some extra performance points."
"In all of Jiangxia, perhaps only Yun Huang could put up a fight..."
No one could blame the commentator for his pessimism.
Nearly everyone with even a basic understanding fell into stunned silence.
They no longer held any expectations for this match.
It was nothing more than a one-sided slaughter.
Wasn’t this a case of a 'Warrior' being outclassed by a 'Summoner'?
The commentator continued, "I just checked the Great Xia Card Database’s rare records. This card is named 'Wandering Battlefield Revenant'!"
"I’ve displayed its attributes on the screen behind me."
[Card Name: Wandering Battlefield Revenant · Spectral General]
[Type: Special · Character]
[Rarity: Legendary]
[Energy Level: ?????? (Sixth-tier)]
[Attributes]
[Strength: 205]
[Agility: 275]
[Magic: 115]
[Unique Passive ①: Bloodrust Killing Intent]
[Oppressive bloodlust reduces the Agility of enemies within a 30-meter radius by 50 points.]
[Unique Passive ②: Soul-Devouring Tang Blade]
[For every enemy defeated, increases own Strength and Agility by 1 point each (max +210, resets upon summoning).]
[Unique Passive ③: A General’s Hundred Battles]
[Each time damage is taken from an enemy without dying, the general’s ferocity awakens, increasing Strength and Agility by 1 point each (max +355, resets upon summoning).]
[Description: He wanders aimlessly, devoid of emotion, driven solely by one primal purpose—slaughter!]
You have to understand, Liu Yuan’s exclusive card, as a fifth-tier Epic Card, aside from its unique non-slot occupation, offered fairly standard attribute bonuses.
A flat +30 to all stats.
In other words, even if an ordinary fifth-tier Card Wielder filled all three card slots with high-tier Epic-grade equipment cards, their attributes would cap at around 120 Strength and 120 Agility.
And achieving such a setup would require no less than two million Great Xia coins—plus being a minor prodigy.
Yet even with that configuration, they likely couldn’t withstand a single basic attack from this sixth-tier Legendary Card.
This was the despair-inducing gap created by tier, rarity... and the privilege of a capital residency.
"Records indicate this is a top-tier card even among its peers! A terrifying weapon on the battlefield."
"It would shine brilliantly in the third-stage Source Realm, but in a second-stage one-on-one duel, it feels somewhat lackluster—missing about one and a half passives."
"Another case of 'defeating your strongest with my weakest'?"
"Is this contestant relying solely on this card, or is it sheer overconfidence?"
Every word from the commentator hammered into the audience’s hearts.
Just this single card represented a height most ordinary Card Wielders could never reach in their lifetimes.
The stands erupted into chaos.
Gasps, discussions, envy, jealousy—all these emotions intertwined into a deafening roar that threatened to shatter the arena’s ceiling.
Lin Han withdrew his fervent gaze from the Wandering Battlefield Revenant, the arrogance on his face growing more pronounced.
The commentator’s public data had actually been authorized by him before the match.
He eagerly anticipated the panic and despair that might appear on his opponent’s face.
Yet, Liu Yuan’s reaction once again defied his expectations.
She simply raised her hand calmly, a card materializing at her fingertips.
Unlike Lin Han’s blindingly radiant black card, this one shimmered with a soft, subdued blue glow.
Though the energy fluctuations were equally intense, they lacked the domineering flamboyance of the black card, instead exuding a depth as tranquil as an abyss.
"Huh? Another summon-type card?"
Lin Han raised an eyebrow, a flicker of disdain crossing his mind.
"If she didn’t dare choose a summon duel, it means this card isn’t some elite solo combatant."
"Planning to pit some generic character against my Wandering Battlefield Revenant?"
"Should I call that naive or just stupid?"
Liu Yuan ignored his taunts.
The soul force at her fingertips ignited like starlight, instantly pouring into the blue card.
"Hum—"
The card emitted a faint chime, but unlike Lin Han’s, it didn’t shatter. Instead, it dissolved into a swirling storm of silver motes.
These motes were far denser and more dazzling than the black ones summoned by the Wandering Battlefield Revenant. They spiraled and gathered rapidly in the space before Liu Yuan, forming a luminous structure vastly larger than the one that had heralded the revenant’s arrival.
The radiance was so intense it was nearly blinding.
This was the summoning of [The Slumbering Dragon · Abyss].
But that wasn’t entirely accurate.
Because 'that being' had not awakened.
However, Liu Yuan had discovered something intriguing.
[The Slumbering Dragon · Abyss] actually had 'devotees'.
In its world, humans worshipped it as the 'Dragon God'.
At its resting place, 'devotees' stood guard year-round, ensuring no outsiders disturbed its slumber.
"What’s happening?!"
"This scale... just how massive is this summon?!"
"Even more exaggerated than the Wandering Battlefield Revenant!"
The audience outside the arena was once again captivated by this sudden twist, exclamations rising like waves.
Even the commentator was momentarily speechless, his eyes locked onto the rapidly expanding and solidifying silver light within the arena.
A few seconds later, the light abruptly receded like a retreating tide.
Revealing the summoned entity.
Silence.
The entire arena plunged into an eerie stillness.
Every pair of eyes widened in disbelief at the sight before them.
It wasn’t a creature. Nor was it some war machine.
Instead, the entire arena had been blanketed in a layer of frost.
Before Liu Yuan stood an ancient tombstone, exuding an aura of timeless desolation.
It stood silently, crafted from an unknown black stone, its surface etched with archaic script that spoke of eons past.
It simply existed, as if it had always been there, radiating an overwhelming pressure that dwarfed all things.
"..."
After a brief deathly silence, an even greater uproar followed.
"What the hell? She just summoned a tombstone?"
"I thought it’d be some world-ending monstrosity!"
"What’s it supposed to do? Fly up and smash people?"
"Could it be a defensive-type card? But the design doesn't seem to match..."
The commentator was stunned for several seconds before regaining his composure, his tone laced with uncertainty.
"A shocking twist! Contestant Liu Yuan has summoned... a tombstone?"
