The sturdy man played two Dragon Capture Skills in one breath, increasing his Qi Value by 28 points, then followed up with a Rolling Mud Ground.
Though this move might sound like some obscure martial arts found in the streets, in actuality, it was an enduring beating tactic created by the founding ancestor of the Beggars' Sect.
The sturdy man spent 7 points of his Qi Value to activate this Body Protection Card, after which Rolling Mud Ground provided him with 32 points of Basic Blocking and additionally, a parry value equal to his remaining Qi Value.
Having used Rolling Mud Ground, the sturdy man was left with 21 points of Qi Value, meaning this single card provided him a total of 53 points of parry.
Gu Qingyi and Ma Lu both felt a tingling sensation in their scalps.
Although the rules prevented the sturdy man from attacking immediately, it was certain he would make his move in the next round.
And it would be earth-shattering.
