Hey! Let's play cards

In fact, at that moment just now, Li Ming really fainted, but when he was half conscious, a voice was calling him to wake up.

Stand up, stand up, don't lose to the darkness!

Encouraged by this, Li Ming gradually became more conscious and woke up.

"No matter what, I still have the advantage now. Struggle as much as you want! My turn is over."

After a Goblin Assault Unit engages in combat, it will be placed in Defense Position with a Defense Strength of 0, and cannot be changed until the end of its next turn.

Most four-star monsters with an attack power of over 2000 have significant side effects.

The goblins suddenly became much weaker, and each of them lay on the ground with their legs spread out.

[Goblin Assault Force, Defense Strength 0]

"Huh - it's my turn, draw a card!" Li Ming exhaled hard and drew a card.

"I activate the continuous magic 'Supply Unit'. Once per turn, when a monster on my field is destroyed by battle or card effect, I can draw 1 card from my deck. Then I turn 'Turning Over the Enemy's Elf Swordsman' to attack position."

[Turning over the enemy's Elf Swordsman, attack power 1400]

"Enter the battle phase, 'Turning over the enemy's Elf Swordsman' to attack the 'Goblin Assault Force'"

These listless goblins had no chance to fight back against the elven swordsman and were all killed with a single sword strike.

"My turn is over." Although the goblin assault troops were dealt with, the situation was still in the opponent's favor.

"It's my turn, draw a card! That's all, let me get rid of you in this round!" Haoge said as he played a card.

"I attack to summon the 'Rogue Mercenary Force'"

Several dark-skinned mercenaries wearing tattered armor appeared on Haoge's field.

[Rogue Mercenary Unit, Attack Power 1000]

"Then I activate the effect of 'Rogue Mercenary Unit', Tribute this card, and select a monster on the field to destroy it. Of course, I choose 'Turning Over the Enemy's Elf Swordsman'."

The mercenary troops turned into light particles and dissipated in the field, and the elven swordsmen in attack mode were also shattered under the influence of the rules.

"Then at this moment, according to the effect of 'Supply Troops', since 'Turning Over the Enemy's Elf Swordsman' is destroyed, I draw a card from the deck." Li Ming said, drawing a card from the deck.

"You have no monsters on the field that can protect you. Use the direct attack of Silent Swordsman Lv5 to bury him in the darkness!"

The silent swordsman swung his sword and attacked, and when Li Ming was about to lose the duel, he finally reacted.

"I open Gefuka and cast the quick-play spell 'Scapegoat' to Special Summon four 'Sheep Tokens' on my field in Defense Position."

Four lambs of different colors stood in front of the Silent Swordsman.

[Sheep Derivative, Defense 0] x 4

Derivatives are monsters that are born from card effects but do not have physical cards. They have the usual properties of ordinary monsters and can change their appearance, attack, and serve as sacrifices. (PS: Sheep derivatives summoned by the scapegoat effect cannot be used as sacrifices for higher summons)

"Then let's roll back the battle and continue the attack!" Haoge continued to give orders to attack.

The Silent Swordsman raised his sword and cut a lamb in half with one stroke. Since the sheep derivative was in defense position, Li Ming was not harmed.

"A bunch of useless monsters!" Haoge's attack was blocked, and he couldn't help but curse.

"There are no useless monsters in this world, only duelists who don't know how to use them correctly." Li Ming immediately retorted.

"A small monster is a small monster, and it is only suitable for a weakling like you!" Haoge is a duelist who pursues strength. His deck is full of monsters with high attack or destructive effects, which can be seen from the 'Goblin Assault Force' and 'Rogue Mercenary Force'.

"I'll prove it to you. It's my turn. Draw a card!"

"I activate the Spell Card 'Token Harvest Festival' to destroy all tokens on the field and restore their health equal to the number of tokens destroyed x 800."

The three remaining sheep derivatives turned into pure life energy and replenished Li Ming's body.

【Li Ming, LP1300→3700】

Li Ming's health points were fully restored in an instant, and even exceeded it.

"The effect of 'Supply Unit' destroys the token, and I draw a card from my deck!"

"Tsk! Some annoying little things." Haoge felt annoyed.

"Next, I will summon the 'Time Magician'"

A round magician in the shape of an alarm clock appeared out of nowhere, holding a clock-shaped staff in his hand.

[Time Magician, Attack Power 500]

"'Time Magician'? No! His effect is--" Haoge knew the effect of the magician in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat!

"The effect of 'Time Magician', the Time Wheel starts to spin. If it stops at the Skull Zone, all monsters on the field will be destroyed, and the player will receive half the total ATK of the destroyed monsters.

But if it is in an area other than the Skeleton, then all the monsters on your field will be destroyed. The probability of both is 1 in 2."

This is a huge gamble. No matter what the final result is, one of the two sides is destined to have its monsters destroyed.

"Who's afraid of who? Come on!" Haoge said this, but sweat was already falling on his forehead.

"'Time Magician', time magic!" With Li Ming's order, the roulette wheel in the hand of the time magician began to turn.

One circle, two circles, three circles... ten circles, the speed of the pointer began to slow down gradually.

The hearts of both people present were in their throats. The pointer passed through the skull area and showed a tendency to stop.

Haoge widened his eyes and Li Ming clenched his fists.

The pointer seemed to be about to stop at the edge of the skeleton area. Li Ming broke out in a cold sweat and the corners of Haoge's mouth began to rise.

However, the pointer finally passed the edge and stopped outside the skull area.

"Great, the effect of Time Magician is activated, destroying all monsters on your field. Time Magic!" Li Ming jumped up excitedly. This card that represents the bond between You Xin and Li Ming finally brought good luck to Li Ming.

The time magician waved the magic wand in his hand, and time seemed to be fast-forwarded. Time flew by, and the years passed by like a shuttle. After all, the silent swordsman Lv5 on the Haoge field could not resist the erosion of time, and turned into a touch of yellow earth in the ruthless river of time.

Silent Swordsman Lv5, destroyed!

"A guy who only relies on luck." Haoge's tone was filled with anger.

"It's not over yet? A direct attack from the 'Time Magician'."

No way! No way! No way! No one would really want these 500 points of damage!

Li Ming said: He is just greedy.

The time magician walked slowly with heavy steps to Haoge, jumped up tremblingly, and knocked Haoge. It was really difficult for him to do it himself at his old age.

【Haoge, LP4000→3500】

Haoge's expression froze, and sweat continued to ooze out of his back. It was obvious that the dark game also applied to him.

"Are you okay?" Li Ming asked with concern.

"Put away your boring sympathy. After going through so many dark games, I don't care about this little pain." Haoge quickly adjusted his state and looked normal.

"I didn't expect you to be so capable." Li Ming praised Haoge for his willpower.

"Then I'll cover a card and the turn ends." Li Ming finally scored a goal.

Chapter 36 True Power

"It's my turn, draw a card! The magic card 'Pot of Greed' is activated, and I draw two cards from the deck." Haoge drew two cards calmly.

Li Ming did not react to this behavior.

But if You Xin were here, the situation would be different.

Given You Xin's personality, he would most likely go down himself, abandon his card ethics, and rob the game directly.

The charm of Pot of Greed is so great that its effect text only has one line of words: Draw two cards from the deck.

Simple and crude, without any cost, it is a must-have card for all decks.

Due to its powerful card drawing characteristics, it has always been a frequent visitor to the small black room and will never have the chance to be unbanned.

Looking at the drawn cards, Haoge's worry immediately turned into joy, and he was ready to take this duel seriously.

"I activate the Spell Card 'Level Adjustment' from my hand, and 1 monster with 'LV' in the Graveyard is Special Summoned regardless of the Summoning Conditions."

"What???" Li Ming was somewhat surprised at the power of this card.

The Silent Swordsman Lv5 who was defeated in the last round has returned again.

[Silent Swordsman Lv5, Attack Power 2300]

"However, monsters special summoned by the 'Level Adjustment' effect cannot attack, activate or apply effects during this turn, and the opponent can draw two cards from the deck." Haoge said coldly.

"Oh - it's okay." Li Ming patted his chest with lingering fear. This was a reasonable compensation, otherwise this card would be too strong.

But why would it cost so much to summon this monster? This question popped up in Li Ming's mind.

But Li Ming soon understood what Haoge was doing.

"Activate the Spell Card 'Level Up'. Send 1 face-up 'LV' monster on the field to the Graveyard, and the monster described on that card can be Special Summoned from your hand or deck regardless of the summoning conditions."

"I send 'Silent Swordsman Lv5' to the Graveyard and Special Summon it from the Deck. The true power of the Silent Swordsman awakens here. Appear! 'Silent Swordsman Lv7'"

The Silent Swordsman grew again, his stature and sword became taller, his blue hair covered half of his eyes, and his robes moved in the wind, making him look cool and handsome.

[Silent Swordsman Lv7, Attack Power 2800]

“See! This power, this is the highest level of the Silent Swordsman.” Haoge opened his arms and smiled domineeringly.

"I didn't expect that he could become even more handsome." Li Ming was also attracted by the final form of the Silent Swordsman.

"Strength is everything for a duelist. A duelist like you will never be able to possess such powerful strength." Haoge suddenly said.

"I admit that your will is much stronger than some so-called true duelists, but - for a duelist, strength is everything."

Li Ming immediately retorted: "No! Strength is not everything. Without the bond with the cards, you will fail one day."

"Then I will use my powerful force to destroy you first!" Haoge waved his hand and issued a battle order.

"'Silent Swordsman Lv7' skill attack 'Time Magician', the Sword of Silence!!!"

Silent Swordsman Lv7 swung his sword, and the Time Magician trembled and couldn't help closing his eyes.

"It's not that simple. I open the 'Gaifu Card', the Trap Card 'Attack Invincibility', select 1 monster on the field to activate, and the selected monster cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects during this battle phase."

"I use this card's effect to protect 'Time Magician'"
