Duels should be played with a smile.

For people in this world, an ordinary duel is the best way to make friends and connect with each other.

As long as you don't pull out cards that are obviously meant to end the friendship, it'll be fine.

The duel officially began. Both sides drew five cards, and after a quick glance, both Leyou and Shangmo looked up at their opponents—and both saw the smile on their opponent's lips.

it is more than words.

"Hmph, a perfect hand!"

"My turn!"

Leyou wasn't joking; this starting hand is indeed quite perfect for this deck.

"A duel should be straightforward, let's get straight to the point! Normal Summon: [Cyber ​​Tool]!"

[Light - 4★ - Electronic World - Attack Power 1400]

The flow of data formed a rather stylish robot, and the electronic tools used in home-based operations appeared quite active.

"A Cyber ​​World deck? Could it be Code Talker?" Shang Mo guessed immediately, but considering that the Cyber ​​World Tool card was also frequently used, he calmed down and waited for Leyou's next move.

"Don't worry, since I'm a tool of the Cyberse world, it'll definitely be a pure Cyberse deck, right?"

"Don't believe me? I'll show you right away."

The electronic tools that had just appeared were immediately absorbed by the suddenly appearing circuit, and within seconds, a new monster appeared in the EX area.

"I used tools from the electronic world as materials to link and summon a [Connection Disciple] with a connection value of 1."

[Light·Link 1·Cyber ​​Realm·Attack Power 500·Arrow ↓]

"Cyber ​​Tool's effect: This card can only be activated when it is sent from the field to the Graveyard. Summon a Level 2, LIGHT, Cybernetic Tool Token with 0 ATK and 0 to your field."

"Then use the tool derivative to perform a Link Summon again!"

"The summoning condition is also 1 Cyberse monster of level 4 or lower. Link Summon! Link 1! [Link Follower]!"

The somewhat abstract arrows connecting the disciples and believers point downwards and upwards respectively, indicating that the two monsters are currently connected.

"The Link Believer's guaranteed effect activates if it is successfully Special Summoned. This turn, you cannot Link Summon Link Monsters with Link 3 or higher."

Upon hearing this, Shang Mo immediately probed, "Such a large amount of self-restraint... this can't be a deck that mainly relies on Link Summoning, right?"

"Who knows? You'll find out as you watch."

"The effect of Link Disciple: Tribute Link Believers in this card's Link Zone to activate this effect, draw 1 card, then choose 1 card from your hand and return it to the bottom of your Deck."

The card drawn was quite good. After thinking for a moment, Leyou returned a card from his hand to his deck.

"The effect of Link Believers can only be activated when this card is Tributed while it is in a Linked state. Special Summon 2 Link Tokens (Cybernetic World/Light/Level 1/ATK/DEF 0) to your field."

"Just a Normal Summon monster generates at least 3 Link Points... It seems you need a Link Monster with low Link Points."

Shang Mo easily discerned Le You's purpose, and Le You made no attempt to conceal it.

It's true that you need to hide cards that others haven't seen, but there's no way to hide information that's already on the table.

"I used one Link Token as material to perform a Link Summon!"

"Connection 1! [Connect Kuriboh]!"

The adorable Kuriboh has arrived, but this time its mission isn't to block damage.

"Reveal! The loop that traverses the past and the future!"

"The summoning condition is 2 monsters other than tokens!"

"I will use the connection between disciples and the connection between Kuriboh as materials!"

"Connection 2! [PSY Skeleton King Λ]!"

[Light - Link 2 - Telekinesis - Attack Power 1700 - Arrow ↙↘]

A very powerful monster—you can tell from the position of his two arrows.

"Borrowing the effect of Kuriboh from the Graveyard, if this card is in the Graveyard, Tribute any Tokens on my field to Special Summon it from the Graveyard!"

Using one Cyber ​​Tool, I created two monsters and even swapped a card in my hand. It has to be said that Cyber ​​Tool can indeed play a significant role in special circumstances.

After seeing Leyou play two monsters, Shangmo was looking forward to what would happen next, but he saw that Leyou simply set two back row cards and then ended his turn.

"I'm done. It's your turn. Look, I only have two cards left in my hand, and the two monsters on the field are barely worth mentioning. You're basically a player with six cards in your hand who can still advance to the battle phase. You've already won this duel!"

A few beads of cold sweat slid down Shang Mo's forehead. He silently pulled out a card and replied with disbelief, "If I remember correctly, your behavior is generally called 'poisonous milk' (a Chinese idiom for jinxing someone).

"Putting aside the effect of your Link 2 monster, I can't afford to be careless just because of your two backrow cards."

After casually making a few complaints about Leyou, Shangmo was secretly delighted when he saw the card he had drawn.

This is like sending charcoal in snowy weather!

"Watch closely! This is a deck that I rarely use, but once I do, it's practically impossible to lose!"

"That's amazing?" Leyou exclaimed in astonishment.

The next second, when he saw the card that Shang Mo had presented, his expression immediately became complicated.

"Here it comes! I activate the Spell Card [Super Dragon Shining Technique]!"

"Based on the effect, I Special Summon Dragon's Radiance Tower from my Deck!"

The monster was so familiar that Leyou didn't know how to react to the situation.

He always uses Long Huiqiao to attack others, but this is the first time since he transmigrated that someone has used Long Huiqiao to attack him.

I must say, this experience was quite novel.

At the same moment, many spectators outside the venue showed expressions of shock when they saw Shang Mo pull out Long Huiqiao.

Many of these people were former students of the Ritual Division, and they were very familiar with this deck. However, since the dimensional upheaval, they had not seen anyone else use this deck.

"Is this child's uniform from a special recruit among the students?"

“That’s right. I’m wondering now if the reason the academy specially recruited him is because he has this deck.”

"I can't rule out that possibility, but what I'm more curious about now is how he got this deck. You know, back when we were still in the Ritual Division, there weren't many people who could get the approval of this deck."

"Who knows? The criteria for recognizing users of this deck have always been strange, and no one has ever been able to explain it clearly. But since we've finally seen someone using this deck, let's keep an eye on this kid... Even though he's going second, I have a feeling his opponent is going to be in trouble."

"Indeed, if it weren't for the fact that he was playing the second move, I would even dare to say that he would have won in the first round."

"After the duel, let's ask about this kid's identity and build a good relationship with him. Maybe we can gain Long Huiqiao's approval in the future. Even if we're no longer in the Ritual Division, who wouldn't want to get this powerful deck?"

"Yes, but what I'm looking forward to even more is when this kid uses Dragon Radiance to defeat the remaining contestants, including Jack Atlas, and ascends to the championship throne. If he wins the championship with Dragon Radiance, we'll be proud of him too!"

……

"I don't know what to say to you using this deck against me... but since it's a deck I know all too well, I can't just stand by and do nothing about it!"

Due to its inherent characteristics and strength, Long Hui Qiao is not weak when going second. However, Leyou is very clear about how to counter Long Hui Qiao with his current deck.

It's just... as a Longhui Qiao player, targeting Longhui Qiao feels pretty awkward.

Although when he used to play Dragon Glory, he would always put 3 lock birds on the side.

"Chain activation of the face-down Trap Card [Virtual World]! Activate one Field Spell Card from your Deck!"

Shangmo's eyes widened as if by reflex, staring intently at Leyou's area, but he breathed a slight sigh of relief when he remembered that there were more monsters on Leyou's side now.

It probably isn't that card, is it? That card is getting rarer and rarer these days, so it's unlikely to be found here.

"Relax, this isn't the Magic Clock Cave. My deck is just a regular Synchro deck."

"I activate the Field Spell Card [PSY Skeleton Circuit]!"

Fluorescent green circuits instantly spread across Leyou's field, with many of them connecting to the Skeleton King in the extra area, giving off a somewhat mysterious vibe.

"This is a Field Spell Card I've never seen before... A Field Spell Card worth activating in the Virtual World. I guess I need to be careful."

Shangmo pondered for a moment, then instead of using Zeta as material to Link Summon Kuriboh, he revealed another card in his hand.

If you're unsure whether the opponent has a Meteorite, try to use as few Special Summon as possible.

"The effect of Dragonlight Chom Gamma in my hand allows me to Tribute Zeta on the field and Special Summon myself. After that, I can Special Summon any other Dragonlight Chom Gamma low-level monster from my Graveyard."

"No? Who taught you to play like this?" When Leyou saw this operation, he immediately felt that something was wrong. If it wasn't a hand glitch, there was no need to do it like this!

Or did Shangmo sense something and want to deceive Kang?

"If you're going to do that, I'll make you experience pleasure!"

"I'll chain your gamma effect, and I'll activate the gamma effect in my hand too! Come on, let's clash our gammas!"

"The effect of 【PSY Skeleton Gear Gamma】: When you control no monsters and your opponent activates a monster effect, you can Special Summon this card from your deck and 1 【PSY Skeleton Driver】 from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard. Negate the activation of that card and destroy it!"

The bright green hat flew out of Leyou's hand. Both were gamma, but at this moment, PSY's gamma was clearly superior.

Upon hearing this, Shangmo immediately interrupted Leyou's actions: "Wait, doesn't this require you to have no monsters on your field to activate?"

"Of course I wouldn't cheat! With Skeleton King Lambda on the field, as long as this card is in the Monster Zone and you control a monster, you can also activate the effects of the [PSY Skeleton Gear] monsters in your hand!"

The same green skeleton king uses its superpowers to allow its equipment to appear directly without being restricted by the original conditions.

"So this is the synergy of your deck... although I haven't seen the Synchro Summon you mentioned yet."

"However, this special recruitment is very important to me, and I can't let you interfere with it so easily!"

"Because your effect includes Special Summoning from the Deck, I Chain Activate Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring to negate your effect!"

Shangmo discarded the woman with the wide forehead in his hand, and the invincible Ulala was back at work today in top form.

Upon seeing Ash Flowing Beauty appear, Leyou frowned again, not because he had eaten dust, but because Shangmo's actions at this moment were really quite appetizing.

"Wow, no way, my blood pressure is rising. I actually threw dust at PSY."

"Looks like I need to make you understand what it means to have no value in one round."

"It's time for your Long Huiqiao to truly experience the pain!"

Chapter Sixty-Four: Why are you attacking the watch face for no reason?

"Great Magician, what's going on?"

Somewhere in the Hyperdimension, a man in a white coat was asking a question to the man dressed as a magician beside him.

"Things here are almost done, and I should go back to the academy to take a look. I've compiled all the materials you need, and they're at my place for now. You can send someone to pick them up later."
