Chapter 380 The Power of Everyone
Gu Qingyi was also somewhat puzzled. How did Ma Lu suddenly learn martial arts? His sword-wielding stance seemed quite professional.
It looked familiar. Hey, was that not the opening stance of the Songxi Sword Sect?
Gu Qingyi had seen it used by two disciples of the Songxi Sword Sect not long ago, but now was not the time to talk. She refocused her attention on the upcoming battle.
She had made up her mind to do her utmost to protect Ma Lu in the fight.
As Yan Wuji had initiated the attack, he was still the first to act, drawing an Attack Card that he played, accompanied by a Mixed Yuan Energy and two Subduing Demon Vajra Skills.
He made sure to max out his parry first. After all, his own health was not high—only 27 points—and he needed to defend first.
The other side wasn't doing much better, Gu Qingyi been hit till she had only 22 health points left, and looking at Ma Lu who had... huh?!
Yan Wuji rubbed his eyes again to make sure what he was seeing was correct. Ma Lu's health points had jumped from a previous 12 to 70 points, and he was quite astonished.
During the beginner's battle, Ma Lu noticed the big difference in health points between himself and Gu Qingyi and had asked her about it, learning it was because she practiced inner strength.

After Ma Lu found the Heart Method Card Packs he had been longing for on Shen Zhou's body, not only did he get an additional eight Heart Method Cards.
His health points also experienced a significant surge.
The Minor Eternal Spring Technique, although common, was cultivated to the Great Perfection stage by Shen Zhou.
Moreover, the Minor Eternal Spring Technique was known for its healing and rejuvenating effects, providing more health points than other inner strengths of the same level.
Additionally, because Ma Lu was younger than Shen Zhou, after inheriting Shen Zhou's mental method, he even had slightly more health points than the latter.
Gu Qingyi was also taken aback, but having come from the Iron Clothes Sect and heard many Jianghu secrets, she knew that the martial arts circles had some special abilities that could conceal one's Qi-Blood.
Still, since they were not much help in combat, only seasoned experts who dabbled in worldly pleasures or those with major secrets to hide would cultivate such abilities.
Furthermore, by using 4 points of True Qi in a single attack, Ma Lu was left with less True Qi for his Body Protection Cards, while Yan Wuji pursued a high-burst strategy.
Doesn't that mean he could potentially inflict severe damage on Ma Lu in the following moves? Even if he couldn't kill Ma Lu in one round, he could still seriously injure him.
Before Yan Wuji could feel relieved, he saw Ma Lu play another Lightfoot Card - "Swallow Returns to Nest".
This card could be activated with one point of True Qi and allowed the player to draw two additional cards if they had made an attack during the current turn.
As everyone knows, the two most precious resources in card games are one, the cost, which is the True Qi of this plane that can trigger various powerful additional effects of cards. Without True Qi, one can only play the most basic effects.
Besides, the other valuable resource is the number of cards in hand. With more cards, whether attacking or defending, one has a wider array of strategic options. Conversely, if you can't draw the cards you want, no matter how much True Qi you have, you're helpless.
Apart from the two cards dealt each round, to acquire additional cards, one must rely on Lightfoot Cards.
For instance, with Ma Lu's "Swallow Returns to Nest", upon fulfilling the conditions to play it, he could spend one point of True Qi to draw two more cards.
Those who have played card games should understand the importance of card advantage, and this is merely a relatively common Lightfoot card. More powerful Lightfoot skills are easier to activate, award even more cards, and can even search the deck for any specific card.
This significantly reduces the chances of martial arts experts losing to others with inferior martial arts skills just because they're unlucky with card draws.
Of course, all of this is premised on having a very impressive Lightfoot technique.
As it stands, whether Ma Lu could draw the cards he needed would depend on luck.
Fortunately, tonight Ma Lu wasn't fighting alone. At this moment, He Qisheng, the Old Beggar, the scholar, and everyone from Xingtong Escort Agency were standing behind him.
On the other side, Yan Wuji looked as if he had seen a ghost.
Ma Lu had only played three cards, yet Yan Wuji had already seen Shen Zhou's Minor Eternal Spring Technique, the Songxi Sword Sect's Songxi Fast Sword, and now, he was witnessing a familiar Lightfoot skill.
Yan Wuji had never believed in ghosts or gods, and at the Vajra Temple, he was wholly devoted to martial practice, scoffing at Buddhist scripture. But now, for the first time in his life, he had the eerie feeling that he had indeed seen a ghost.
An ominous premonition began to loom in his mind. He remembered the teachings of karma his master had spoken of in earlier years—could it be that today it was meant to come true for him?@@@@
