Print the card! Then summon the Shura Field.

"Come on, let's begin your turn."

Duan Zhengming watched Shen Yi's actions and excitedly licked his lips.

After the duel began, his voice seemed to take on a sinister quality, and he appeared to become increasingly excited.

This excitement was different from Shen Yi's excitement about dueling; it seemed to be an unusual excitement caused by the influence of some substance.

Anger, resentment, and... jealousy—all sorts of intense negative emotions were displayed openly on Duan Zhengming's face.

Defeat him...

Eat him...

Duan Zhengming stared intently at a card in his hand.

All of his cards came from company rewards.

If he hadn't been doing this dirty work for the company, he would probably still be working as a guard in the mines of the Soul Card World controlled by the company, just like those ordinary duelists who graduated at the same time as him.

Feeling the allure of the powerful cards in his hand, Duan Zhengming's expression towards Shen Yi became even more distorted.

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!

Hurry up and start your damn development!

Let me nurture my trump card with your soul!

Shen Yi was unaware of Duan Zhengming's wild thoughts; he simply instinctively felt that Duan Zhengming was acting strangely.

do not care.

There's no reason not to launch an attack in the first round; I'd even launch an attack at the top level!

Shen Yi no longer hesitated: "It's my turn. I activate the spell card [Cheer Stick] and add one [Idol] spell card from my spell deck to my hand."

What he was looking for was the "random handshake ticket".

Immediately afterwards, he activated the effect of [Random Handshake Ticket] to Special Summon Xiao Ai.

As Nangong Ai appeared, summoning light, she took a deep breath and picked up the microphone beside her with a natural and firm expression.

After performing with Shen Yi in so many shows, Xiao Ai has overcome her shyness.

Only when facing Shen Yi would she occasionally reveal that girlish shyness.

Shen Yi observed Xiao Ai's behavior.

Even if a new form doesn't awaken, changing one's stage fright is a good thing.

"Activate Nangong Ai's effect: both players choose four cards from their respective minion decks and send them to the graveyard."

Shen Yi skillfully drew another spell card from his hand.

"Then, I activated the spell card [Sudden Scandal]."

"Return my [Idol] follower to the top of my deck to activate this effect, send all my cards back to the deck, and then add two spell cards from my spell deck to my hand."

Shen Yi returned Nangong Ai from the field to the top of the deck.

After several days of duels, he has a complete grasp of how to play against this deck, and he knows exactly which two spell cards to choose even with his eyes closed.

While searching, he didn't forget to keep an eye on Duan Zhengming across from him, constantly checking for any possible time points.

Is there absolutely no movement?

Are you just going to watch me unfold like this?

Shen Yi did not relax and immediately initiated the first summons.

"Flip over the top card of my deck and Normal Summon my proud idol!"

Shen Yi opened Nangong Ai's attendant card.

"Proud...proud idol?" Xiao Ai blushed slightly upon hearing Shen Yi's words.

However, she quickly got into the zone, and with Shen Yi's announcement, the effect was activated again.

After sending four more minion cards to the graveyard, Shen Yi's minion deck was reduced to just one minion card.

"Excellent, excellent, very skilled!"

Duan Zhengming became even more excited as he watched Shen Yi's presentation.

"You won ten challenge duels at the academy using this technique, didn't you?"

At this point, Duan Zhengming revealed a jealous expression: "I have to admit, as an ordinary duelist, you are indeed quite talented."

"Unfortunately, this is the best you can do."

"The younger generation of those powerful families have probably already commissioned cards specifically for you. You'll soon fade into obscurity in the sea of ​​duels, just like those meteoric geniuses."

Shen Yi chuckled and said, "Hey uncle, instead of this, you should be thinking about how to survive this round."

As he spoke, he revealed the two spell cards he had just retrieved from his hand using the [Sudden Blacklist] ability.

One of them is the "Variety Show Revival Competition".

The other card is [The Will of Mortals], which is also the only spell card that Shen Yi borrowed from the mortgage agency that is not from the [Idol] series.

Its effect is very simple: Special Summon a minion with no slots from the Graveyard to the field.

The reason for searching this card is simple: he needs to release materials to summon the last remaining card in his minion deck.

"Activate the effect of [Will of the Mortal]! Special Summon [Silver Moon Wolf No. 985567] from my Graveyard to my field."

"Then! I'll unleash [Silver Moon Wolf No. 985567] and [New Idol Nangong Ai] from the field!"

Shen Yi launched a second summons without hesitation.

"Normal Summon the top minion of my deck."

"Let us arrive in a destined encounter!" Shen Yi waved his hand and flipped open Vera's follower card.

"Normal Summon! First Doll, Vera!"

After activating Vera's effect to declare the [Idol] slot, Shen Yi revealed his final hand.

"And then! I play my last card!"

"[Variety Show Revival Competition]!"

Based on this card's effect, both players can Special Summon one minion from their respective Graveyards. Shen Yi can only Special Summon [Idol] minions.

After the followers are freed, they will also enter the cemetery, so Shen Yi was able to retrieve Xiao Ai very smoothly.

He also didn't need to worry about the followers summoned by Duan Zhengming interrupting him.

Follower cards that have been pushed into the graveyard by Xiao Ai have no effect this turn.

"The flag of victory has been raised. Are you ready to face your defeat, Uncle?" Shen Yi said to Duan Zhengming.

His intuition told him that Duan Zhengming was definitely hiding some big move.

"If you have a follower Special Summoned on your field, Vera's conversion condition has been met."

"Use your charm to wash away all your sins."

"Transformation! [Mischievous Fairy Vera]!"

If I get through this smoothly, I guess I'll win the duel...

and many more!

What is this pause?

Shen Yi frowned instantly.

Although he knew it wasn't that simple, he still couldn't help but feel a chill when the pause actually occurred.

Immediately afterwards, he heard Duan Zhengming's excited voice.

"This is the moment I've been waiting for!"

"If either player summons or special summons five or more followers in a single turn, I activate this effect: [Demon's Command] from my hand!"

[Demon God's Command]?

What is that?

Hearing the activation conditions, does this mean I have to eat meteorites in this world too?

"Your opponent draws five cards from their hand, then selects up to five spell cards from their deck or graveyard and places them face down on their field."

"Once you've done all this, end the current round immediately."

Duan Zhengming grinned and stuck out his tongue.

Black lines gradually reappeared on his skin.

"Come on! Come on! Come and choose your card!" he said with a maniacal laugh.

"Holy crap! What the hell is this?!" Shen Yi was dumbfounded.

This is even worse than a meteorite!
