Playing cards and losing really could cost a life.
When Ma Lu experienced the tutorial for newcomers, he had thought this way of fighting was quite harmonious and benevolent, yet it turned out to be no different from real combat.
Of course, Gu Qingyi also mentioned that generally without deep hatred, everybody would still use the sparring mode to compete, or one could concede halfway if they felt they were going to lose.
But if it was a formal duel, the other party also had to agree before the fight could stop.
After understanding the combat mechanism, Ma Lu's most concern naturally was the acquisition channels for cards, ideally like those specialized card stores in Yu-Gi-Oh.
But reality proved he was thinking too much, as cards in this plane were cultivated by martial artists themselves, well... perhaps some expert could forcefully transfer one's own inner strength cards to another person via a direct teaching method.
