Print the card! Then summon the Shura Field.

Arriving at the front of the group, Shen Yi immediately spotted the Soul Card follower who would guide him into the secret realm.

This was a proud man dressed in golden armor, standing there like a statue.

After handing his ID card to his instructor for verification, Shen Yi stepped into the open portal.

A portal is a passage between two worlds created by a duelist using the connection between themselves and their Soul Card followers.

However, apart from Soul Card followers, Contract Duelists, and followers in the Duelist's deck, any other items and lives that pass through this portal require a mandatory payment of points.

These portals connecting two worlds are divided into several levels based on their capacity. Portals like the one in front of Shen Yi, which can only accommodate one person at a time, typically cost 5 to pass through once. This is also the main way for duelists to explore the Soul Card world individually.

In other words, a single trip costs 10 points, which explains why those special materials are so expensive.

If you can't gather enough characteristic materials to reach 10 points in a single Soul Card Secret Realm run, you're basically losing money.

These are just the portals for personal use; the portals that transport supplies, minerals, and goods to large corporations are even more expensive.

This is probably why Star World encourages people to resolve all disputes through duels and holds various dueling tournaments every year.

If the duelists aren't enthusiastic about dueling and don't have enough points, Star World could fall into a financial crisis in no time.

Of course, the academy paid for Shen Yi's entry into the Soul Card Secret Realm as a student.

Getting something for free is indeed a delightful thing.

After stepping out of the portal, Shen Yi was immediately amazed by the scenery before him.

Compared to the desolate, desert-like fairy world, the vast tropical rainforest that appeared before us was truly magnificent.

Among the dense forest, Shen Yi also saw huge puppet statues.

Calling them stone statues is not accurate; they appear to be some kind of battle golem giants made from magical boulders.

"Ancient giants?"

Shen Yi recalled the information Vera had told him about this Soul Card Secret Realm.

Although I spent most of my time choosing my favorite breast accessories, I still remembered some basic information.

This Soul Card world seems to be a world where you control ancient puppet giants to fight.

Throughout this world stand countless similar colossal stone statues. Those chosen by a stone statue can be teleported into its body and control it in battle using a badge bestowed upon them.

If these stone statues didn't look more like ancient mechanical gear giants, Shen Yi would have thought it was a modified version of the Ultraman Tiga universe just by looking at the design.

Because there is no systematic archaeology profession, there are at least seven or eight versions of the origin of these puppet giants in this world.

"Ah Yi, why don't you try going over to the puppet statue?" Vera said, pointing to the giant puppet in the distance after landing.

As a doll, she has a strong interest in these kinds of man-made objects, especially since she feels that her role is similar to that of the puppet statue.

They are all operated by hand.

"I heard online that someone once gained the approval of the Colossus and received a powerful Ancient Golem minion card," Vera explained. "You know, these kinds of minion cards were previously monopolized by the Gu family!"

Compared to Vera, Shen Yi seemed somewhat uninterested.

"My deck should be full of pretty female cards," Shen Yi said confidently. "I don't want these clumsy, ugly guys."

Vera was speechless: "I've never seen you so obsessed with Michelle in my past life."

"Isn't that because Chunmei can't win?" Shen Yi said frankly.

For duelists, strength is the first consideration.

Only when the strength requirement is met can we pursue higher goals.

Shen Yi's consideration of using all female cards is based on the premise that the deck is strong enough.

Vera pursed her lips and stopped talking.

However, Shen Yi ultimately followed Vera's advice.

Although he wasn't particularly interested in adding such follower cards to his deck, he wouldn't refuse the opportunity to pilot the Stone Gundam if given the chance.

Moreover, there is a higher probability of finding special materials near these types of stone statues.

The so-called special materials are actually a collective term used in the Starry World to refer to a series of items with extraordinary powers. These include not only body parts of various extraordinary creatures, but also various items with extraordinary properties, and even their fragments.

For example, the fragment of Shen Yi's mask from before belongs to this category.

The golem statue is undoubtedly the most striking supernatural item, and you might be able to pick up its fallen parts around it.

Unfortunately, the tendency of extraordinary properties is completely random, and no one knows what the material's tendency is until it is identified by professional equipment.

Shen Yi hoped that this trip would yield materials with searchable characteristics.

After all, the rented spell cards were due for return soon, and he needed to print the search spell cards himself. He even had a general idea of ​​what effects to print.

With the addition of the elves, his deck now has three slots mixed together, making it inappropriate to use slots for searching.

This highlights the advantage of Yu-Gi-Oh! having so many search options.

Slots, attributes, race, attack power, defense power, summoning method...

The vast array of search criteria has created a dazzling array of search cards. Sometimes, you can't even imagine what your opponent will find when you put up a card, making it full of surprises.

In comparison, Star Duel doesn't have as many searchable conditions in this regard.

Aside from the fields, only the Spirit Value and Form attributes can be used for retrieval.

After much thought, Shen Yi realized that only by using spirit value as a condition could he encompass dolls, idols, and elves all within a single effect to complete the search. This was the inspiration provided by [Little Elf·Emily].

As he was thinking, he suddenly felt lightheaded.

It turned out that Vera had taken advantage of his moment of thought and simply picked him up in her arms.

"That way, we'll be able to travel much faster!" Vera noticed Shen Yi's gaze and winked at him as she spoke.

As she spoke, she skillfully leaped and darted through the forest.

Shen Yi originally wanted to say that being hugged by a girl was nothing, but Vera's breasts were just too soft, so he shamefully swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Before long, Vera brought Shen Yi to the vicinity of the nearest puppet statue.

Vera is really great!

As expected of a girl who calls herself a multi-purpose doll!

After landing, Shen Yi mentally gave Vera a thumbs up for her functionality.

Especially the shock absorption system; it truly lives up to its reputation as the product I carefully selected last night.

Just as Shen Yi was about to praise the doll, he saw Vera in front of him suddenly become serious and adopt a defensive posture.

Although he didn't understand what had happened, Shen Yi always trusted Vera completely, so he immediately took out his battle deck.

The next second, a loud explosion came from not far away, followed by a figure flying out from the trees, passing by Shen Yi and Vera, and crashing heavily into the trunk of the big tree behind them.

Only then did countless cards fall from the sky, drifting down like snowflakes.

This group of students entered the Soul Card Secret Realm.

Shen Yi glanced at the other person and recognized their identity.

Before Shen Yi could check on his classmates, a rustling sound came from the distant forest, sounding like someone flipping through exam papers in the quiet exam room.

Shen Yi looked warily in the direction from which the sound came.

"Outsider..."

"Outsiders all deserve to die..."

A hoarse voice cried out.

Although he had prepared himself mentally, Shen Yi still narrowed his eyes when he saw the other person's appearance.

This is a man.

A man who looked like he stepped out of a comic book, seemingly an individual from a completely different dimension from Shen Yi.

He was dressed in grayish-white stone armor similar in style to the puppet statues, and his entire body was full of wrinkles, like a crumpled piece of paper that had been unfolded.

Shen Yi saw the exact same lines on the other person as Duan Zhengming.

The only difference was that Duan Zhengming remained completely still after becoming a line, while this person actually managed to walk up to him despite his paper-like, wrinkled body.

With each step he took forward, scraps of paper, or rather, stone chips, fell from his body.

"Aguya... I will absolutely not let you steal the relics of our ancestors..."

He raised his head blankly, his gaze instantly locking onto Shen Yi behind Vera.

"An outsider! Yet another outsider!"

His expression suddenly became excited, and his eyes were filled with deep-seated hatred.

He tore open his chest and pulled out a card from the ripped paper. With the power emanating from the card, the tall puppet statue beside him burst forth with incredible light.

The puppet statue transformed into a beam of light and flowed into the card.

The next second, black mist appeared on the card.

"A duel..." Aguya murmured to himself.

As he finished speaking, the card in his hand emitted a black light.

Vera reacted very quickly, almost immediately pulling out her prop.

But before she could defend herself, Shen Yi placed his hand on her shoulder.

"Although I don't know who you are."

Shen Yi took a few steps forward.

"But you just mentioned a duel... right?"

Shen Yi glanced at the identity card in his hand.

When the man opposite him uttered the word "duel," his identity card spontaneously activated, meaning that the duel was forcibly started without his consent.

Looking at the black and red threads wrapped around the ID card, Shen Yi's lips gradually curled up.

"Should we force a duel?"

"interesting."

Shen Yi casually revealed his identity card.

"I hope you can give me enough fun!"

Defeat him.

Then figure out the power that forces a duel to begin.

After that, I'll never lack duels!

Shen Yi became more and more excited as he thought about it.

"The duel begins!"
