Indeed, just as Ree Shil predicted, Snow Charm’s Destiny Card had already reached its complete S-level version.

But unexpectedly, her Destiny Card turned out to be a New Species Card.

This meant that Snow Charm was previously a Divine Deity of the Right Heart.

A Full-Screen AOE ability—Ree Shil was seeing this for the first time.

With 10/10 Energy, it was enough to cleanse the opponent’s Revealed Cards with 100 points of Damage.

If one didn’t want to be hit too hard, their only option was [Defense].

But a full team [Defense] was akin to giving the opponent free reign to attack.

The ideal state to oppose this card was, surprisingly, not to Reveal any cards.

Because its AOE only affected Revealed Cards.

But this was not realistic.

Besides, the [Sharp Snow Card] had another very special mechanism.

Its effect was practically that of a Scene Card.

It could block a certain major type of card’s ability to regain Energy, friend or foe alike.

For example, blocking Breakthrough Cards meant their Attacks could no longer regain Energy, nor could they accept Energy charges from other cards.

As a counter for cards like the Kung Fu Sheep God that needed continuous charging, the effect was perfect.

But unfortunately for her, Ree Shil did not use the Kung Fu Sheep God in this round.

Moreover, due to his wariness of the opponent’s unknown Destiny Card, even after gaining a huge advantage, he deliberately left one Regular Card unRevealed.

Now that he was certain, he could naturally choose to Reveal it.

Speaking of the bane of Divine Deity’s Destiny Cards, naturally, it would be the [Five Claws Golden Dragon].

And indeed, the [Five Claws Golden Dragon] supremely counters the [Sharp Snow Card].

With a combination of Break/Defend/Pursue/Listen/Wisdom’s 5 systems, even if one was blocked, it wouldn’t have much impact.

Furthermore, its hard control could Ignore immunity effects, which meant it could directly Damage the Destiny Card.

With such card face superiority and card-countering advantage, Ree Shil advanced forward like breaking bamboos.

In the end, he forced Snow Charm to submit.

"I lost. You truly are the man who has just unified the Buffer Zone."

Snow Charm conceded with sincere admiration.

"Ah? What are you saying?"

Ree Shil, however, claimed he didn’t understand.

"Heh, no need to hide it anymore.

I see the stage of the City Competition can no longer contain you," she said with a bitter smile and then exited the field.

Having defeated Snow Charm, Ree Shil officially moved into the top 4.

His top 4 opponent was Marsh, the Wisdom Representative Team’s number 2 seed who had just defeated the player with short eyelashes.

This guy had already demonstrated his [Wind Catfish Card] last time and was once again not Ree Shil’s match this time.

Thus, Ree Shil didn’t spend much time before defeating him.

In fact, the moment he smoothly entered the Finals, the Balance Representative Team’s Score was already secured as the Champion of this edition of the City Competition.

His greatest rivals, the Wisdom Representative Team’s number 1 and number 2 players, had already been personally eliminated by him.

This brought great relief to the entire Balance District.

Many still had fresh memories of the last competition where the Balance Representative Team was ruthlessly crushed by the Wisdom Representative Team.

As for their next strongest competitor, the Berserk Representative Team, they were completely defeated before even reaching the semifinals.

Their number 1 seed actually lost to the Wisdom Representative Team’s number 3 seed.

The one advancing to the Finals from the opposite bracket was the Listening to the Wind Representative Team, who had no chance of turning the Score around.

Of their 5 Team members, 4 were eliminated in the first round and didn’t score at all.

Only their number 1 seed, "What You Lookin’ At," made it all the way to the Finals.

Yes, this was Ree Shil’s final opponent.
