Aspiring to become a magnetic field card player!

Although these cards were clearly marked with question marks, the system thoughtfully included explanations of their true nature: [Reward for reaching the next stage of your natal spirit—3 [Snake Eyes] related cards]

To be honest, this reward really hit You Ling's current pain point... When he got Snake Eye Flame Scale and the cards sent with it from the maid sister, You Ling, as a duelist, of course checked the number of these cards at the first time, and carefully studied what kind of results would be caused if these cards were put into the Flame King deck in his hand.

However, the results of this research were indeed a little unsatisfactory - to put it simply, due to several unresolved problems, the [Snake Eye Flame King] in his hand, which clearly already had a prototype, was still slightly less powerful than the original [Snake Eye Flame King] in You Ling's memory.

The first point is, of course, because this world seems to have no link summons, and it is unable to deal well with the field value created by the Snake Eyes system, but this is actually not a big problem... For You Ling now, what really seriously affects the strength of his deck is just a few simple words - not enough cards.

It was probably just as the maid said in the letter, these local specialties given to You Ling were a little scarce because she didn't carry all of them with her... and in duels, many cards had an essential difference of one or three.

But now You Ling completely understood that these missing cards were waiting for him here... He just needed to capture other duelists like hunting and turn them into food for Snake Eyes, so that he could become stronger and unlock more power!

But even You Ling himself now gradually felt that this method seemed a little wrong - if You Ling's villain-like performance in the previous few times could be said to be a coincidence... then choosing to carry out this task was really like feeding a snake, and if raising his natal spirit Snake Eyes in this way, then this was almost a pure super villain behavior.

As for absorbing the power of elves from others, if the amount is not too much, it seems acceptable. But if the amount is different from what is imagined, and even affects the health of the hunted person himself - I am afraid that apart from [Evil Duelist], there is no other more appropriate word to describe the wandering spirit.

And so, just like the life path choice that appeared before the wandering spirit, the system light screen finally popped up the option of this new field, the spirit-related duel: [Host, do you choose to accept?]

——At this moment, the snake-eye flame scale on You Ling's shoulder, which had been hibernating, probably due to lack of duel energy or lack of food, seemed to feel some kind of temptation. It slowly raised its head, looked at the surrounding duelists and the elves beside them, and sniffed curiously with its little nose.

However, if someone could see the expression of this little pink snake-eyed creature at this time, they would probably be horrified to find that...what was revealed in its eyes was not simple curiosity, but a kind of longing or greedy desire.

——As the saying goes, card spirits are the embodiment of the duelist's own will. The card spirits of one's own destiny will not behave or have opinions that contradict the duelist it is bound to...so that in the next moment, You Ling really raised his head, and his eyes slowly flowed with the same desire as the little pink snake-eyed girl on his shoulder.

"Is that even a question? As a righteous duelist like me...of course I have to choose 'yes'!"

"In that case, this duel, the settings of these elves... become more interesting!"

Volume 1: Chapter 218 Damn, it’s on fire!

Looking at the clear progress bar listed by the system, and the card rewards that have not yet been unlocked, feeling the flame of hunting desire rising from the snake-eye scaly body lying on his shoulder - at this moment, You Ling felt that his whole body and the elf were about to burn!

——Geneva is on fire!

Moreover, this scene seemed particularly familiar to You Ling, as if a similar situation had occurred before... Similarly, when some uninteresting situations arose, the system would immediately jump out and offer sufficient temptation to add fuel to the fire, allowing him to willingly join the battle.

All I can say is that the timing of each system pop-up and the card rewards it lists are exactly in line with the preferences of You Ling, the duelist - it really knows how to play cards.

If the initial reason for You Ling's excitement about the duel mission offered by You Xing was simply the invitation from the two good brothers of the Tenth Generation John, the so-called fighting for brothers, then the allure of this was probably only 20%... Later, with the opportunity to duel with other Pokémon duelists, the allure increased by another 20%—and now, with the system's perfectly timed final move, letting You Ling know that after the duel, his natal Pokémon, Snake Eye Flame Scale, would be upgraded and a new Snake Eyes-related card would be granted... then, for every duelist, the allure must have reached 100%!

What's more, after receiving Snake Eyes' new cards, You Ling, as a Duelist, was naturally itching to join the fray. For example, every card player who gets new cards usually wants to quickly unleash their newly created decks and wreak havoc on their opponents... This Spirit Hunt offered by Brother You Xing, while initially seeming like a baffling side quest, allows him to help his buddy, use his new deck to wreak havoc on other Duelists, and simultaneously gain experience points and obtain brand new enhancement cards... Could something truly be this exciting? It's truly killing three birds with one stone!

So, John and Judai, the two brothers standing nearby, looked at the wandering spirit in front of them who seemed somewhat uninterested and obviously not too interested - his whole temperament suddenly changed, as if burning, and his eyes and expression were exactly the same terrifying desire as the snake-eyed Yanlin on his shoulder, which slowly raised its head and revealed its dangerous snake pupils.

"Well said, Judai, John... your plan is absolutely perfect!" When You Ling entered this strange state of desire and spoke again, the words that came out of his mouth had completely turned into insincere praise for his two friends. "With the three of us joining forces, brothers attacking together, no one can defeat us!... Even in the entire Duel Academy, we can be called the unrivaled galactic battleship in the universe!"

Judai's personality was obviously more straightforward and easier to motivate, so when he saw the previously listless You Ling suddenly become interested, he naturally became doubly excited. "Oh! You Ling, even you have sensed the strength of our team... That's right, with us brothers united, what can stand in our way? I'm afraid that even all the teachers in this Duel Academy combined can't defeat us!"

As for John's side, it stands to reason that when everyone else in the team is overly emotional, there will often be a calmer person who steps on the brakes to prevent the team from speeding madly in the wrong direction... But unfortunately, John, who had felt that something was wrong when he saw You Ling's expression, seemed to be infected after hearing Judai's words, and his whole body became excited!

"That's right, hahahahahahahaha, You Ling, Judai, who else in this world can be our opponent?!"

So, the three brothers looked at each other, and laughed heartily, feeling genuine joy for the invincible team they formed. John and Judai, of course, didn't realize while laughing that although they were usually in high spirits and expressed whatever they thought, their emotional expressions were now even more exaggerated than normal.

And this situation seemed to be discovered by the relatively calm You Ling only - but he didn't say anything about it. He just glanced at the awakened elf on his shoulder as if he had sensed something, and then began to look around, looking at John, Judai and the snake-eye scales of the elves on their bodies with his big eyes... It seems that his natal elf, in addition to dueling, seems to have other strange abilities.

——And at this moment, the unconcealed movements of the three people naturally attracted the attention of other people present... Especially Mr. Fudo Yusei, who had just said goodbye to them not long ago and was chatting with others in another direction. He was also attracted by the movements of Judai and John, and couldn't help but look towards the three people.

Then he saw the three of You Juyue gathered together, and the card elves on their bodies appeared in physical form next to their respective owners - Mr. Fudo Yusei couldn't help but reveal an intriguing smile.

"What's wrong? Mr. Yuxing... Did you see something interesting with that expression on your face?" The duel guest who was chatting with him in front of him naturally noticed his expression and couldn't help but look in the direction he was looking.

"No, nothing—" But this time, Fudo Yusei-san just shook his head and chuckled. "I just felt like I saw some incredible group being formed at this little party I hosted... I'm afraid the prototype of a truly remarkable young dueling group has finally appeared."

.........

Unfortunately, what happened next was completely different from what You Ling had imagined - except for him, the mobility of the other two members of their newly formed strongest three-person dueling team in the universe seemed to be much worse than he expected.

Judging from You Ling's habits and his performance in his previous actions, he is obviously a man of great action, who does whatever he thinks of and has a very high success rate... So, according to his idea, after their social group is established and the target is determined, by the next day at the latest, Judai and John should find him a task or a hunting target, so that he can pick up the duel disk and directly find the duelist he wants to hunt, engage in a hearty duel confrontation, and take away the hunting medals, duel victories, and card elf experience points from others.

This was also thanks to the duel courses and convenient teaching arrangements of the duel academy where he was now. For duelists, the written test results would certainly only account for a small part of the overall score. After all, no matter how eloquent you were, in the end, it would not be as convincing as your impressive duel record... and according to this system, You Ling, who had already won a place in this year's final duel just after the school started, must have become an excellent student in the eyes of the teachers. In the duel academy teaching based on the credit system, he did not need to take too many unnecessary classes to easily get enough credits. Therefore, in the following time, he did not even have to go to the classroom for almost a whole week, saving a lot of time.

However, with plenty of time and the decks ready, there seemed to be some problems with the final people and people... To put it simply, John and the other two, who had pulled You Ling to join the group with great ambitions and the look of wanting to do great things, fit the stereotype of You Ling and were naturally the ones who got in the way.

The formation of their three-person group and the gathering of the elf duelists actually took place the day before, and it was already noon the next day.

It was just at noon on the second day, even at lunchtime, that You Ling sat in a familiar drink shop near his home, which he had been to once before with Shark Sister. He frowned, looked at the clock beside him, and occasionally picked up his phone to check it... But just like the whole morning that had passed, no matter when, he looked at the communication software on his phone, in the group chat called "Universe Invincible Duel Hunting Team" that was set up yesterday and only had John Judai and him, there were only messages recorded from him from morning till now.

As for the other two John Tenth Generations who were considered to have recruited You Ling into their group, these two seniors were like crazy the entire morning. They didn't make even the slightest sound at any time or any place. As a friend who had gotten to know them well after spending some time together, You Ling could more or less guess... These two unreliable guys were probably fast asleep like they did in the previous duel elimination match, and it looked like they might not wake up until the afternoon.

According to You Ling's memory, the habit of these two guys seemed to be that they both liked to sleep until they woke up naturally in the afternoon when they had no classes, and then get up slowly. Their lives could be said to be extremely bad, and it was impossible to tell that they were among the most powerful duelists in the Duel Academy... But under normal circumstances, You Ling would not go to find those two guys in the morning, so it didn't matter to him how long they slept.

However, You Ling clearly remembered that last night before bed, the two of them had been chatting extensively in this newly formed group about duel hunting. They had even compiled a list of potential hunters for You Ling. Among them, non-elf duelists from [External Duel Hunting] and elf duelists from [Inner Duel Hunting] popped up one after another from Judai and John's chat logs. As if they were overseeing You Ling, the two men assured him with unquestionable force that since everyone had no classes tomorrow, they must go out together. Everyone had to win at least one duel hunting match... Although You Ling had a general idea of the daily routines and habits of his two friends, seeing their ambitious expressions, he couldn't help but have some expectations of them.

——However, judging from today's result, his expectation was indeed misplaced... Apart from the duel, those two guys are still somewhat unreliable, and only a god would believe them.

Or perhaps, the fact that the two of them stayed in bed today was roughly within You Ling's expectations. After all, after the party ended yesterday, the three of them were still discussing duel hunting and other duel-related topics in the group chat they created until four or five in the morning... From this perspective, You Ling, who was able to get up early and was full of energy, seemed a little bit unlike a human.

Thinking of this, You Ling couldn't help but glance at his right shoulder, that place that seemed empty, but in fact, only he knew that there was a snake-eye flame scale lurking there. In fact, You Ling himself also had a faint feeling that something seemed amiss with him. It seemed that after obtaining this snake-eye flame scale, especially yesterday when this snake-eye flame scale ended its hibernation and it was like it had had a good sleep, he, the duelist himself, could also feel some kind of incomparably abundant mental power, constantly filling his whole body... So much so that even after only sleeping for four or five hours yesterday, he was able to get up early this morning without any discomfort.

But to be frank, this abundant energy is not a bad thing. A duelist of You Ling's age should not have enough sleep... So, after confirming that his two teammates were performing as expected, You Ling followed his plan to do two things today and came to the coffee shop near his home early to wait.

——The first thing, of course, was related to the duel hunting that he was thinking about now... Although John Judai and the other two disappeared today, in the long chat history last night, there were many elf duel hunting targets that You Ling could use as a target and for judgment. You Ling was now sitting alone in the store, bored, stirring the drink he had just ordered with a spoon, while scrolling through the list of duelists in last night's chat history, trying to figure out who he might have to hunt later today.

Besides that, the second thing to do today... While browsing the list in the chat history and thinking, You Ling suddenly raised his head as if he had sensed something and looked towards the door of the coffee shop.

Afterwards, You Ling saw Ms. Shark Sister, a teammate of the opposite sex whose voices she didn't recognize very many times in the entire Duel Academy, but who was still somewhat familiar to her. She walked into the store with a small bag, and her figure, looking a little nervous, caught You Ling's eye.

Volume 1: Chapter 219: Love Brothers or Gold?

——That’s right, this is the second thing You Ling has to do today, which is the meeting with her teammate Shark Sister that she promised yesterday... She has to return the Poseidon Water Scale in her hand to Shark Sister, and at the same time continue the "You Ling Mentor's Duel Classroom" that she had been thinking about before.

However, You Ling still didn't quite understand why this matter had to be settled today instead of yesterday...If it was said that John and Judai were too noisy at home, then based on You Ling's understanding of them, although these two people were unreliable, they were not guys without emotional intelligence. Especially when discussing the duel, they should just watch quietly from the side, and might even put forward some insights that would be useful to Shark Sister. If she had to explain, You Ling guessed that maybe Judai, who had once beaten Shark Sister as an opponent, was a little unhappy for her to see!

However, although You Ling had all sorts of doubts in his mind, his inspirational ability, which had been further developed after he acquired the Snake Eye Flame Scales, made him subconsciously understand that there was no need to ask about such doubts - he could just fast forward to the "You Ling's Small Classroom" segment.

As for the specific teaching process, it was just as unremarkable as it was in the player's lounge before. In fact, to put it simply, Shark Girl raised a few confusing questions and some insights about her deck, and You Ling, after thinking about it, used the OCG-style thinking inherited from his previous life to answer...or to pollute her.

But today You Ling was surprised to find that Shark Sister was indeed a very capable duelist - after getting the deck, she added a few cards that she asked You Ling to find for her, and without You Ling's help, she further improved this set of Poseidon Water Elf, which was a bit surprising.

So, at the end of today's lesson, seeing You Ling's slightly surprised look, Shark Sister couldn't help but put her hands on her hips and raised her chin slightly with a hint of pride: "What's that look in your eyes... You don't think I really know nothing, a complete novice with no card playing skills or deck building ability?"

--It really is.

You Ling originally wanted to nod in agreement - but fortunately, his outstanding inspiration once again took effect and stopped him from having this idea that would destroy the harmonious relationship between people.

But unfortunately, although You Ling's inspiration ability is not weak, Shark Sister is also the same as You Ling. Her inspiration ability should not be underestimated. She seemed to see that You Ling had some disrespectful ideas... But Shark Sister did not react too much to the evaluation of You Ling, the convincing teammate. She just tilted her head slightly and looked at him with some displeasure.

She shook her head and grumbled speechlessly, "Hmph, never mind. It's probably no use telling you now... But all I can say is, don't underestimate my little shark sister!"

Then, she gave You Ling another deep look. "Although I'm still far behind a monstrous fellow like you...but you have to know that, whether in the Super Academy or among the people I know, I'm a far-leading, respected and powerful duelist!"

"Whether it's with my idiot brother, Ryouga Kamishiro, and the others on his team, or with Ruri and Kurosaki Hayabusa, the other person you've also met, or even our sports group, my dueling skills are pretty good. Most of my dueling results are pretty good..."

Of course, as she spoke, Shark Sister's tone gradually softened, as if she had thought of something. She looked at You Ling and her voice became smaller and smaller: "Uh, okay, although it's because we... No, it's because of you that I won the duel and got the quota. From now on, I don't need to participate in that hunting activity..."

While Shark Sister was speaking, she also paid special attention to the wording. She used the words "depending on You Ling" to express the final decision, and Qi (II) III Qiu Si didn't mean "the two of us" - after all, she herself knew that, in fact, in the previous double duel, it was You Ling who was the only one who was playing the dragon, and she was just a supporting role. The only time You Ling gave her a chance to play, she lost easily to that You Cheng Judai... Whether from the pride of the duelist herself or from Shark Sister's slightly thin skin, she couldn't say the words "We are so awesome!" in a high-sounding manner.

——Others may not know, but Shark Sister herself is very clear. In the previous team duel, the performance of their team was simply You Ling and she killing people together... You Ling was responsible for killing people, and she was responsible for killing people in the audience.

At this point, Shark Sister's original desire to prove to You Ling that she was no weakling gradually faded, and she couldn't help but feel a little dejected. "Alas, speaking of this, it seems that I really can't say anything in front of you... Especially after you helped me get the quota, Liuli and the others expressed their blessings to me, congratulating me on getting the quota and saying that they couldn't show weakness either. At that time, I felt very uneasy and didn't know how to respond..."

At this point, Shark Sister, like You Ling did before, stirred the drink in front of her meaninglessly with a small spoon, with a somewhat dejected expression on her face - after all, as good friends, in the past two days, whether it was the people Shark Sister knew or the close friends in the rebellious movement, they all expressed their sincere congratulations on her getting the final duel spot.

However, for Shark Girl herself, who knew the situation clearly and felt unworthy, these so-called congratulations were like the ultimate insult to her ears... Especially when she heard a few friends say things like "You are so strong, Rio! We can't fall too far behind, we have to work twice as hard as you!", Shark Girl felt her cheeks burning when she thought of the duel that day and You Ling's voice, and she wished she could dig a hole in the ground with her toes and crawl into it.

"Well, if you look at it this way, I'm just clinging to you, You Ling, a big supporter. I have no right to scream in front of you... My friends who participated in the rebellious movement were even inspired to work hard after seeing me get the spot. They fought hard in the hunting duel. I haven't seen them for the past two days. I don't know what kind of expressions they will show when they learn the truth and realize that this duel was won entirely because of you..."

Having said that, Shark Sister secretly raised her head again, probably wanting to take a peek at what expression You Ling would show after hearing her words - but when she stretched out her eyes and locked onto You Ling, she was stunned first.

Because in her sight, You Ling's face had an expression that she had rarely seen before, his eyes suddenly widened and full of desire - even at first glance, it was a little chilling.

In Shark Girl's memory, the You Ling she saw was mostly listless except when she was actually dueling, as if he had turned on energy-saving mode - even when he was teaching the duel and sitting next to a beautiful girl as big as herself, he didn't show the slightest emotional fluctuation, and still looked listless... But now his appearance was even more terrifying than what Shark Girl had seen in the duel before. It was as if there was a dormant poisonous snake in those eyes, staring at her through You Ling's pupils, making people's hearts beat wildly when they saw it.

——Seeing this, Shark Girl was frightened and couldn't help rubbing her eyes. She looked at You Ling again... and found that the feeling of being stared at by a snake's eyes had disappeared. You Ling's eyes were still as calm as they had been in the past, but his fiery and terrifying expression remained unchanged.

"...You just said that your rebellious sports friends have been busy with hunting duels these past two days - does that mean they are busy now too?" Just when I was stunned, You Ling's strange voice came from across the table.

This strange tone was obviously just like his current expression, as if he had just heard something interesting and his whole body was on fire - sharp, terrifying, goal-oriented... full of desire.

——Before this, although You Ling was swiping his phone and looking at the chat records between John and Judai, he still had some reservations about this hunting activity... After all, for him, who came from another world and was not a native dueling brain, he was really not used to the customs and habits of this world, especially in some duel-related things, You Ling still couldn't accept it very well.

For example, the hunting duel nowadays, to put it simply, is actually just wearing a medal, walking on the street with a duel disk, and directly proposing a duel to anyone you see - then even if both parties are complete strangers to each other, they will happily agree and start a passionate life-and-death duel.

But in You Ling's previous life, playing cards, unless it was in a competition, was mostly a duel between friends or card players - and even if it was in a store competition, the duel process and the tone of speech were quite polite. It was obviously not like in this world, where two people would start the duel disk within five seconds of meeting each other and quickly engage in a happy head-on confrontation like old acquaintances.

But to put it bluntly, it was just that You Ling was having some trouble getting over the psychological barrier and wasn't used to it yet... In this situation, all it took was a little push to allow him to focus on hunting.

——Just like what Shark Sister said now, although You Ling is not very familiar with them, it is definitely not to say that they are not acquainted. They have dueled with each other and talked a lot...they are members of the rebellious movement group.

So, You Ling slowly pulled out the hunting medal from his pocket, which he had been wearing since leaving the house today. It showed his identity and eligibility, and casually asked Shark Sister, "Come to think of it, I've been particularly interested in this hunting activity lately and want to try it, but I'm a little embarrassed to suddenly start a duel with a stranger... But since it's someone you know, Rio, and a good friend, then I think it's not a big deal, right?"

After saying that, You Ling rolled his eyes in thought, then smiled at the shark girl across from him. "--I heard that the academy has set up many places in our academy specifically for this hunting activity, and everyone tacitly goes to such places to fight... From what you said, classmate Li Xu, your good friends should be there too, right?"

At this moment, looking at the shark girl opposite who opened her eyes wide after hearing what he said and suddenly began to tremble like a little white rabbit that saw the devil, You Ling felt very happy, thinking that good things would happen every time he saw the shark girl - like those two unreliable guys like John Tendai, who really had nothing to rely on from beginning to end. It was his good teammate, the little shark girl, who gave him the information about where the monster cage was as soon as they met, and the person who delivered it to the door seemed to be her good friend... It was simply a matter of sacrificing family for the sake of justice, how could he get along!

So, looking at You Ling's inexplicably frightening expression, Shark Sister realized that something was wrong and that she seemed to have unconsciously done something to let her good friend down... She trembled as she looked at You Ling and said, "Uh, it seems so... No, that's not right, You Ling, what are you trying to say with that expression?"

At this moment, realizing that she seemed to have done something treacherous again without realizing it, Shark Girl could almost feel something called "Kamiyo Rio's Guilt" lying on her back, slowly asking - do you love your brothers or do you love gold... No, do you love the wandering spirits or your friends?

"Huh? I didn't do anything," and the only answer she would get was You Ling's seemingly harmless smile... But with Shark Sister's understanding of him, she naturally understood what was in this guy's mind, which was definitely not as calm as he said.

"Hehehe. It's just... a temporary event with your friends, one or more duels, that would benefit everyone, a unique 'bringing smiles through duels' event!"

Volume 1: Chapter 220: The Hunt Begins

——The moment she looked at You Ling's expression and heard the words he said, a creepy feeling instantly surged into Shark Girl's heart... She couldn't help but get goose bumps all over her body and her eyelids were twitching wildly.

Especially You Ling's very natural and impromptu words, "Use duels to bring smiles." Although it doesn't sound like a big problem at first, for some reason, after hearing this sentence, every cell in Shark Sister's body sounded an alarm, making her feel more stressed.

But in contrast, seeing the trembling appearance of the little shark girl across from him, who had just finished saying the classic line "Duel brings smiles", You Lingfang still showed his usual gentle and innocent smile: "Well, is there any problem? Why do I feel like your whole body is shaking?"

"No, it's okay..." Perhaps because she was the reincarnation of the Seventh Emperor of Barian, her innate inspiration was relatively strong. The power in Shark Sister's body that had not yet fully awakened naturally made her instinctively feel the horror of the "decisive smile" words. It took her several seconds to calm down. But this terrifying feeling still made her raise her eyes and look at the Youling opposite her: "Uh... If this is the case, isn't it a bit, not good? Youling sensei?"

After all, if a fight really broke out, on one side were the good friends of the rebellious movement; on the other side was You Ling, a good teammate and good teacher. Little Shark Sister only felt that if this happened, she would be stuck in the middle, which would be quite embarrassing.

So, she looked at You Ling tentatively and asked indirectly, "Didn't we already secure a spot in the previous doubles match? Now that we've secured the final spot, there's no need to go through the tedious duel hunting anymore...why not leave the opportunity to those who haven't secured a spot yet..."

As she spoke, Shark Girl could probably recall the few times she had seen You Ling dueling, how he was usually a bit lazy, and seemed not to take the initiative to attack without a target most of the time. She began to try to persuade him, "And as far as I know, although we do have a duel arena for duels and hunting in our academy, it's a bit far from here... Today is such nice weather, and it's a holiday, so there's no need to go so far and go to the trouble of having a duel. Why don't we just sit here and chat and drink tea..."

——But it is obvious that the You Ling in Shark Girl's impression of being listless and uninterested in duels was all based on the premise of "no goal"...But at this moment, the You Ling sitting opposite her is more than "goal-oriented", it can be said to be "clearly goal-oriented", and his whole body is full of desire.

So this time, it was You Ling's rare turn to frown, and he scolded Shark Sister, the native of the Duel Brain World, for not working hard enough and not having the Duel Spirit: "How can you think that! Rio... As a duelist, even if you've already secured a spot, you shouldn't slack off. If we just sit here drinking tea and chatting, then it's very likely that others will work hard in the duel while we're resting, refining their skills and increasing their strength. If that happens, no matter how talented or powerful we are as duelists, as time goes by, we'll eventually lose to those hard-working ones!"

"How can you fight well if you're so lazy and lacking in spirit?"

"Uh..." Hearing the righteous words from You Ling's mouth and the sanctimonious expression on his face, Shark Sister blinked and felt it was very strange - after all, with their current familiarity, she could be said to know You Ling quite well. She knew how he acted like a lazy dog and avoided duels on occasion... She never thought that she, who had always been diligent and never fell behind others, would be scolded by You Ling. It was really speechless and against her will.

Then, You Ling, who now had outstanding inspiration and could vaguely sense some of Shark Sister's thoughts, looked at the somewhat puzzled expression on his little teammate's face, rolled his eyes, and continued to mutter like a bewitching devil: "But, Li Xu, I'm not a devil... I also know the relationship between you and your friends. I understand that in this situation, if I, as a teammate, were to duel with your friends, you would be stuck in the middle and it would be difficult for you. No matter who wins or loses, it will not look good..."

Seeing Shark Girl nodding her head repeatedly after hearing what he said, as if to say "yes, yes," You Ling took a deep breath and suddenly changed the subject: "But, if I were to put myself in your shoes... out of consideration for their friends, I would rather let them fight and kill each other!"

"I'm sure you know by now that I, Wanzhangmu Youling, am no weak duelist. At least I'm quite capable at card games..." As he spoke, Youling extended his right hand and shamelessly pointed at himself. "And precisely because I'm quite skilled, I'm being given the opportunity to practice against your rebellious sports friends. We can use this opportunity to grow together through dueling... Isn't this a win-win situation?"

"Especially in this duel hunting environment, precisely because of the existence of key bets, the pressure behind the duelists will be doubled. With pressure, the duelists will give their all in the battle, making it easier to get the opportunity to break through..."

Listening to You Ling's rambling, Little Shark Sister was obviously stunned and a little confused, but she still maintained some rationality. She blinked at You Ling and murmured, "But, like you said, no matter who among you loses, I feel a little..."

"Don't worry about those details!" Before Shark Girl could finish her words, You Ling waved his hand and further explained (insinuatingly): "For us duelists, dueling is a career that we strive for throughout our lives. For such an important matter, of course we have to take a long-term view... Winning or losing a duel is definitely completely unimportant in a duelist's entire dueling career!"

"In fact, whether it's for me or your friends, when we meet in a duel hunt, no matter who loses, it will be a good thing for everyone. After all, failure isn't terrible; what's terrible is not daring to face failure... I believe that in our evenly matched battles, even the losing side will gain experience and gains that are more important than victory!"

As he spoke, You Ling straightened up like a cult leader bewitching people and deceiving ignorant girls. He stared at Shark Sister with sincere eyes and spoke in a firm and deep voice: "...Riyo, as a friend and a teammate, you should be happy for them and for the duel we may have!"

"Uh... uh? Oh oh—" Under You Ling's somewhat skillful and series of verbal attacks, Shark Sister was completely dizzy at this time—especially under You Ling's unreserved and sincere gaze at the end. She could only blink and slowly lower her head: "Hmm... OK, okay, what you said does make sense..."

Seeing this, and seeing that Shark Sister had softened under his words, You Ling smiled with satisfaction and nodded, saying, "Okay, but speaking of which, I'm still not quite sure where the duel hunting venue is... but you should know, right?"

"Oh, they seem to be..." So, Shark Girl, who was controlled and captured by the bewitching demon You Ling, finally told her teammates' location without hesitation.

However, everything that happened in this drink shop and the current appearance of You Ling and Shark Sister were just like the bewitching devil in the fable, luring the ignorant girl to achieve his own evil purpose - and just like most of the endings of this kind of setting in the fable, Shark Sister, the ignorant girl, was indeed bewitched by the devil and did something that was almost equivalent to putting prey in front of a poisonous snake.

But as the saying goes, people tend to believe what they want to believe - if Shark Girl had no good feelings towards You Ling, or was even quite wary of him, then no matter how eloquent You Ling was, no matter how good he was at talking, this scene would definitely not happen... At this moment, in Shark Girl's own heart, she had completely followed You Ling's words and hypnotized herself into the theory that "for the sake of the rebellious movement, You Ling, a strong man, should duel with them."

While swiping her phone and explaining the location and route to You Ling, Shark Sister couldn't help but nod slightly, feeling relieved. Yes, this is all for everyone, and it's also good for You Ling and the rebellious movement!

However, it was not known whether it was because of the energy of Balian's previous life in her body, or because Shark Girl herself was quite sensitive... After telling the wandering spirit the location, although she had been bewitched, she suddenly raised her head and covered her forehead with her hands, as if she felt something extremely hot, coming from nowhere, and a chilling, snake-like look that made people shudder.

But when Shark Girl raised her head and took a closer look, the strange feeling just now disappeared without a trace in an instant, and she couldn't even confirm where the look came from, or whether it was there. It might be just her own illusion... The only thing she could see was that on her dear teammate You Ling, the guy with a harmless and smiling face, there seemed to be a strange pink shadow, which flashed from his neck and shoulder, and then disappeared.

Half an hour later.

"Okay... this should be it, right?"

You Ling muttered to himself, put down his phone, and looked forward. At this time, he had followed the instructions of the cute guide, Little Shark Sister, and after saying goodbye to her, he quickly arrived at the target location, which was the excess college grounds provided by the college for hunting activities, where her rebellious sports friends were located, as he had learned from Shark Sister.
