Aspiring to become a magnetic field card player!

Otherwise, with the Seven Emperors' Sword alone, the Dark Knight would have been able to clear all of the Wandering Spirit's resistance and clear his board.

However, even now... after taking inventory of the situation in his own graveyard, Shark raised his head and looked at the wandering spirit opposite.

At this moment, from the Shark's point of view, the opposing Youling has nothing in his hands, and there are no hidden magic traps in the backfield... The only thing left on the field is the 3000 attack monster Arceus, the Thunder.

And he, Ryoga Kamishiro, has another card... a hidden card that has been kept in his hand since the first round and has never been revealed!

At this moment, both men on the duel field were tense, focusing all their attention on the only card left in Shark's hand - because everyone knew that in this duel endgame, the key to everything lay in Shark's only remaining card.

Seeing this, Shark smiled magnanimously, perhaps because the duel had reached this stage, he felt quite a bit of joy from it. "Not bad, not bad... This [Sky Thunder Arceus] is indeed a real threat. Ten Thousand Foot Eyes Wandering Spirit, I will probably never forget this duel!"

You Ling also laughed when he heard this line: "If you say that... then I have to ask you, do you have enough expansion cards?"

At this point, You Ling could clearly feel that for some reason, the shark on the opposite side seemed to have improved a lot in both mentality and attitude.

But You Ling didn't have the ability to read minds, and didn't understand the complicated information in Shark's mind, such as the thousands of ancestors... He was also completely unaware that his image in the minds of others had changed from the reincarnation of thousands of ancestors to a passing duelist.

In You Ling's opinion, this might be the tsundere personality of Kamishiro Ryoga - in the original work of the fourth Yu-Gi-Oh anime Zexal, Shark and the protagonist Yuma also get along in this way... In the early stage, his attitude was bad, and he was just like a gangster villain. In the later stage, after gradually integrating into the protagonist, his attitude was no longer tsundere.

——But even if he knew what Shark was thinking, You Ling probably didn't bother to care about it. He was simply immersed in the duel... and at this point in the immersive duel, You Ling's final attention was fixed on Shark's last card.

--If it's a normal-level expansion card, like a powerful monster's initial movement, even the strongest Beyblade can be almost resolved by the effect of the last Thunderbolt... But I'm afraid that the opponent, Ryoga Kamishiro, will pull out a completely unpredictable abnormal printing card that can not only resolve the Thunderbolt but also complete the expansion.

——He doesn't even need to take out any abnormal magic cards... He actually only needs to completely eliminate You Ling's Tianting, and then arrange a little resistance for one or two steps to ensure that he will not die in the next round. Then once it is his turn again, You Ling believes that with the extremely skilled Balian card drawing, the shark will bring him an extremely terrifying and supreme surprise.

Finally, under You Ling's nervous gaze, Shark slowly raised his right hand, displayed the card in his hand, and slapped it directly on the duel disk.

"This is the end, Wanzhangmu Youling...!"

"I attack and summon, [Armored Shark]!"

[Armored Shark Water Attribute/Fish LV3 ATK/500]

The card of the end that finally appeared on the duel field and appeared in You Ling's eyes was just a shark monster covered with a thin layer of armor as its card name suggested... and You Ling actually recognized this thing.

When You Ling saw this monster, he couldn't help but be stunned - he had an impression of this thing. It was a shark that was different from the spinning tops in the hands of the previous sharks. It was a shark that had endurance and could resurrect other water monsters from the graveyard.

——This monster seems to have the ability to send Water-attribute Gyz monsters in the Extra Deck to the Graveyard, thereby reviving Fish-Type monsters of the same tier in the Graveyard... and considering the storage capacity of those Sharktops that Kamishiro Ryoga violently deployed in his first round in his Graveyard, once this effect is passed, it will probably be like giving birth, just like in the first round, with clumps of Gyz materials popping out, and there will be endless descendants.

In the first round, the terrifying ability of Kamishiro Ryoga's deck to create two from one, three from two, and everything from three was already demonstrated...but the problem was, that was in the first round.

──That was the first round where Youling had no resistance and allowed the opponent to have fun and over-summon at will in this world without any hand traps.

But the current situation is completely different from the previous one... There is still a Sky Thunder Arceus with one round of ammunition left standing on Youling's field.

If You Ling remembered correctly, the effect of the armored shark on the opposite side was not the kind of ability that was activated when the general summon was successful - but it needed to be activated by the duelist at will during the round after the summon was successful, to activate the effect... That meant that after the opponent summoned it, as long as the Thunder swept it, even the effect could not be activated, and the whole stage would collapse.

However, the confident expression on the opposite side, Ryoga Kamishiro's face after Normal Summoning this monster, made You Ling a little confused.

──Finally, he looked at the expression of the shark opposite him, then looked at the armored shark on his field, and finally looked at the Sky Thunder Arceus on his field... An idea that seemed a little wrong but seemed to have some possibility flashed through You Ling's mind.

──Brother Shark on the opposite side, he must be aware of the effect of the Thunder... It doesn't work once per round, right?

Volume 1: Chapter 172: Pure Clown!

──The shark on the opposite side... must know that the effect of the Thunderbolt only occurs once per round, right?

This strange possibility flashed through You Ling's mind for a moment - his first reaction was to think that this should be unlikely.

You Ling didn't think that Brother Shark on the opposite side would make such a cute mistake under such circumstances.

But after recalling it carefully, You Ling felt that from his memory, the shark opposite did not seem to have seen Arceus before.

You Ling vaguely remembered that the previous few times he used Arceus, it seemed that the shark had no reason to be present, and no reason to know any information about this thing... It was most likely that it was completely in the dark and had no idea of the situation.

In this world of Card King, the people who have duelled with Youling and have the deepest impression of this thing... are probably those two. Although they were indeed severely beaten by the Tianting, they are the Kurosaki siblings who are the opposite of the shark.

——As for the relationship between the two siblings and the sharks...even You Ling, who was not very well-informed, knew that they were opposing teams and did not get along well. Then You Ling felt that there was no reason for the two siblings to provide information to the sharks, who were their opponents...They probably just wanted to see the sharks being swept by the Tianting and fainting from anger.

Another person who might expose the information is Shark Girl, who for some reason often watches his duels from the side and is almost never absent... However, although You Ling thinks that Shark Girl is not very reliable, judging from her performance, this guy should still be quite reliable when it comes to tricking Kamishiro Ryoga.

──She was probably the same as the Kurosaki siblings, the type of person who "couldn't wait to see Ryouga Kamishiro collapse after being swept by the Thunderbolt and then scream."

So, various possibilities flashed through You Ling's mind, and finally converged into a rather strange result that was quite difficult to break for this duel... That is, the Shark brother on the opposite side might really not know that the effect of the Thunder was only once per round.

──Of course, You Ling had done this kind of thing before. When the card Tianting was first released, he had just quit the game and taken a break... So when he saw this thing for the first time after returning to the game, he was swept by someone using a multi-material Tianting. Therefore, even if Shark really didn't know, You Ling could more or less empathize with it.

At this time, Brother Shark, who had summoned his last moving point on the opposite side, had a calm expression, as if he had already seen the scene of future victory. Seeing that You Ling had not made any move and looked hesitant... he obviously interpreted the expression on his face as something else.

So, Brother Kamishiro Ryoga crossed his arms, sneered with a victorious attitude, and looked at You Ling opposite him.

"Hmph, you haven't made any move in all this time... Could it be that you can't accept losing the duel and being defeated by me, Kamishiro Ryoga, under such circumstances?

"Haha, Wanzhangmu Youling...it seems you are just like that."

After hearing this, You Ling almost subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Shark Girl who was standing under the duel stage behind him... Although he didn't know why he wanted to look at Shark Girl, his body just moved on its own anyway.

So, he really saw Miss Kamishiro Rio in the duel arena. After hearing her brother's declaration of victory - as someone who had seen countless duels between wandering spirits and knew the effects of the Thunderbolt inside and out, she was already in a state of collapse at this moment... She saw the two little hands of the shark girl desperately covering half of her face.

Kamishiro Rio tried to hold it back, and tried again and again...but how could she hold back such a funny thing──Finally, after seeing You Ling's confused and embarrassed look, she finally couldn't help but burst out laughing, and even curled up in her seat, holding her stomach and sobbing.

“Puff…Puff hahahahahahahaha—”

Seeing this, Shark classmate in the duel field seemed to have sensed something was wrong. His sister's strange reaction made him feel uneasy, but he couldn't find out what the problem was for a moment... He could only frown and look at You Ling opposite him with great confusion.

At this moment, after listening to Shark's declaration of victory and seeing the weird and heartless reaction of Shark Girl behind him, You Ling, even as Shark's opponent, felt extremely embarrassed - thinking about the possibility he had just guessed and the scene that might appear later... The toes in his two shoes were already rubbing against the floor fiercely, and he was scratching so hard that he was about to dig out a three-bedroom apartment.

Although You Ling enjoys duels and the pleasure of defeating others, he does not have any hobbies of whipping corpses or seeing others embarrassed... So, as a good man of justice, You Ling decided to extend his right hand of justice and end this farce.

"[Thunderbolt Arceus] removes two Xyz Materials and sends all cards on the field except this one to the Graveyard..." You Ling said as he looked up at the Shark opposite him, adding word by word, "Also, this effect only works once per turn!"

"...!?"

When these words were spoken, You Ling clearly saw that the pupils of Shark classmate opposite him suddenly shrank, and he took a step back in shock as if he had heard something impossible.

Seeing the stunned look on the opposite side's face, Ryoga Kamishiro, You Ling could almost conclude... Damn, this shark on the opposite side really didn't know that the effect of Tianting was only once per round.

But as mentioned before, as someone who had made similar mistakes in his previous life, You Ling did not have any bad emotions such as ridicule towards the shark. He only felt empathy... and felt embarrassed for him.

"So, I activate the effect of my monster [Thunderbolt Arceus] on the field──" Then, You Ling quickly issued the order, curling up his toes fiercely, and wanted to end it all as quickly as possible.

"Remove its last two Xyz Materials, and send all monsters on the field except this card to the Graveyard!"

Following this command, the engines of the Sky Thunder in the duel arena began to hum once again—the two fists containing the power of destruction once again gathered together with the movement of clenching fists, sweeping the light of divine destruction across the entire duel arena... although the only target of the effect was a poor armored shark on the opponent's field.

"[Sky Thunder·Arzeus]..." Seeing this, the shark god Ryoga on the opposite side uttered a word that felt very familiar to You Ling, as if he had heard it somewhere before, "How could there be... such a terrifying monster!?"

──At the same time, Shark also thought about the declaration of victory that he had just made after summoning the Armored Shark, which now seemed like a funny thing... At that time, a huge sense of shame swallowed up his heart, and in reality, it was obvious that his whole body turned red and warm.

As a character who was clearly tsundere in Rei+-Meng's first release, Shark would suffer tons and tons of damage once his defense was broken - especially after he glanced across the duel field and looked at his sister who had witnessed the entire duel and had naturally witnessed his declaration of victory just now... Shark's sister was laughing like crazy at this moment, and Shark felt as if he had put on thick makeup, a red nose, and turned into a pure circus clown.

When people are in such extreme emotions, the first thing they think of is definitely not to blame themselves. Although Li Xu's smile embarrassed him, as his dear sister, Shark didn't want to blame her for the mistake - so, naturally, he looked at the Tianting across the way and the Youling bathed in light behind it.

——Shark, who had just realized that You Ling seemed to have no relationship with the great villain Shangqian's ancestors in his dream, had a slightly changed opinion of him. In this short period of time, his impression of You Ling suddenly reversed again... But Shark was a rational person after all, and his rationality also told him that the incident just now had nothing to do with You Ling on the opposite side. Chunchun just opened the champagne in the first half.

But this damn emotion could not be vented──so, in the end, Shark glared at You Ling and his Tianting on the field, and then looked at his sister Kamishiro Rio behind him... This frustrated and embarrassed emotion mixed together and turned into a roar, roaring out of his throat.

"Wanzhangmu Youling! I'm not done with you. Just wait for me... Just wait!!!"

While he was roaring, probably because he had nothing in his hands and there was nothing that could trigger any effect, the AI built into the duel disk automatically ended his turn, leaving him in a state without any defense and the turn was passed to You Ling.

"Next time, next time I will definitely...!!!!"

So, when it was his turn, after seeing the monster he had drawn and its attack power, You Ling quickly slapped it onto the field. He was very kind to consider the shark on the opposite side and also his own toes and big toes, and directly ended this extremely embarrassing duel.

"I summon the three-star monster [Sea Emperor's Sniper] in attack mode... and then enter the battle phase directly!"

At this last moment, You Ling could clearly hear the dissatisfied tut-tut sound coming from behind him, probably from Shark Sister... It seemed that this brotherly and respectful guy was very dissatisfied with You Ling ending the duel so quickly, and obviously wanted to see him torture his brother a little longer.

"—[Sky Thunder·Azeus] and [Sea Emperor's Sniper]... 4600 points in total, direct attack!"

[Godly Lingya LP: 4000 → 0]

************

Congratulations! The last of the Seven Emperors, Nashu/Kamiyo Ryoga, has been successfully defeated. Barian Seven Emperors Challenge Progress: 7/7.

[The long-term quest line, "My Recommendation of the Seven Kings of Balian Level 1" is now complete]

[Mission Speed Rating: A, Mission Duel Rating: B+, Mission Completion Rating: S]

Since you only used one challenge opportunity in each duel and didn't complete multiple missions or lose, your overall rating has been increased by one level... Your total mission rating is S-.

[Also, congratulations on completing the hidden quest achievement [Hello everyone who likes to play Tianbei Dragon, I'm Lei Jun. If you keep killing people with full health like this, I will remotely control my phone and blow you up.]]

[Hidden Quest Requirements: When the opponent is at full health, defeat half of them in one go.]

[All task rewards have been distributed, please check in time]

[──And, the subsequent quest, the second quest line: I promoted the Balian Seven Emperors Level 2. The unlocking conditions have been met. You can check the quest description and start this quest line at any time.]

After killing the shark in seconds, You Ling walked towards the duel stage while a pleasant system sound rang in his ears.

At this moment, the sound of the rewards coming one after another was really satisfying, and made him feel that all the efforts of so many days were worth it... It even relieved the embarrassing symptoms of him constantly stubbing his toes because of the shark.

And finally, when he heard the news that the follow-up task [The Seven Emperors I Promoted] task level 2 had been unlocked, You Ling couldn't help but blink his eyes - although he had seen this hint in the task description before and knew that the Seven Emperors was only the first version of the task, he still didn't expect this thing to come so quickly.

However, for You Ling now, killing the Seven Emperors has become a bit aesthetically tiring after seven consecutive duels, so he will decline the opportunity for the time being... No matter what this thing says, he must first kill the team of Kurosaki brothers and sisters on the opposite side of the Seven Emperors.

──Now that we have obtained the Thunderbolt, we must not skip Typhon either... We must obtain both twelve-star super-endpoints, only then can we be considered a complete super-duelist!

At this time, seeing You Ling absent-mindedly collecting the duel disk and walking downstairs, Shark Girl, who had been cheering him on the whole time and had almost become the table's favorite, immediately came over to greet him.

Then, perhaps because she was very happy about winning the duel, and also because her brother, Ryoga Kamishiro, was being beaten by the gauze, these two kinds of happiness merged together, making Shark Sister look very happy. She very attentively took You Ling, who was stumbling along due to fatigue and absent-mindedness, and said: "You Ling is really amazing! So strong, haha, you really beat Ryoga up..."

"Hmm? Why are you so absent-minded? What are you thinking about?"

You Ling was indeed absent-minded, because his attention was now focused on the system, so he didn't use too much thought to reply to Shark Girl and replied casually: "Oh, nothing, I'm thinking about how to fight Shark Girl later, and her friends..."

"......ah?"

Volume 1: Chapter 173: Harmonious Team Relationship

After hearing You Ling's blunt and dangerous words, Shark Girl, who was originally immersed in the joy of victory, should have been stunned.

She opened her mouth wide, and her eyes became two different sizes: "Ah? What did you say──"

However, because he had just finished a duel and his mental strength was somewhat depleted, or because he was completely immersed in the joy of checking the system rewards, You Ling did not pay much attention to the outside world.

Now in front of You Ling, the system's UI, instructions and other factors are so similar to the Card God game he loved in his previous life that his mentality almost instantly returned to the time when he was sitting in front of the computer desk playing games in his previous life. He was completely immersed in it - so he completely ignored the outside world and analyzed it to himself as if no one was around.

"Looking at it this way, the overall difficulty of dealing with the Seven Kings of Barian isn't that high... The intelligence we gathered and the process we went through were also quite useful. I'll have to remember to apply it next time..."

"As for Shark and her friends, and the Kurosaki siblings, I can already roughly judge the overall strength of this team through the previous duels. I guess it won't be as troublesome as I thought... Oh, if I have time, I have to duel with Shark herself again..."

Generally speaking, in the past interactions between You Ling and Shark Sister, Kamishiro Rio remembered that this guy was quite polite, usually calling her by her real name or Kamishiro classmate, and rarely called her by a strange nickname like "Shark Sister"... But no matter how rarely he called her that, Kamishiro Rio could tell that the name Shark Sister was referring to her.

So, after hearing this, Shark Girl immediately realized that she had not heard wrongly. You Ling seemed to be talking about something very dangerous... Shark Girl's originally happy little face collapsed at this point, and turned into an expression as if she had seen a ghost.

She immediately took in You Ling's wary expression, a thousand alpaca horses racing through her mind... No, I thought you were just going to beat up my brother and help me, and that was it. I didn't expect you, this bitch, to have such ulterior motives towards me, even wanting to beat me up again? Didn't you get enough last time?

--If this were the world of a love-obsessed manga where love is the main theme, Shark Girl's expression would surely be pounding with excitement, her face flushed red, and she would be as shy as a girl falling in love after hearing You Ling's explicit words... But this is the world of Card King, and as duelists, besides the word "battle", most of their thoughts and thinking patterns are related to words like dueling and playing cards.

Therefore, Shark Girl, who had experienced the slaughter by Youling once before and witnessed the power of Youling so many times, was now deeply aware of the problem. She recalled the fear of being dominated by Youling or watching others being dominated by him... When Glasses was lying on the bed in front of her, tossing and turning in pain, she recalled the time when she was almost scared to death by Youling, the terrifying king, in her dream.

At this point, the joy in Shark Girl's heart has been wiped out, and what remains is... only awe, "the level of fear that makes people stay away."

"You, You Ling, you..." Thinking of this, Shark Girl couldn't help but take a step back with a look of horror on her face, as if You Ling in front of her was not an ordinary teenager of the same age, but a perverted dueling killer in a horror movie.

At that time, You Ling, who was a little slow to react, finally reacted and broke away from the fantasy time... Then, he saw Shark Girl's ghostly expression and seemed to realize something.

After patting his head and thinking for a second, You Ling decided to pretend nothing happened.

He thought for a moment, then revealed an innocent expression. He looked at Shark Sister Yi0 Yi⑺ Shi Wu Jiuchu Jiu Dad and replied, "Huh? It's okay, it's okay. I was just joking... I'm just joking, brother."

If he had said these words to Shark Girl earlier, it might have had a good effect and even dispelled her concerns... But it was obviously too late to speak now, not to mention that You Ling was not very good at talking.

Hearing You Ling's words and tone that were trying to cover up the truth, Shark Girl still frowned with an unchanged expression - her face seemed to be filled with the words "I don't believe it".

An expression of distrust was now all over Shark Girl's face - after all, as mentioned before, she was not stupid, she was just not in a good mood because she had just recovered from a serious illness... The terrifying look of You Ling, who was extremely serious and staring at the air with his eyes blank and a clear goal, had been deeply imprinted in her heart.

Shark Girl even felt that she might dream about You Ling when she went to sleep tonight...but it wasn't a dream about anything else, but a nightmare of You Ling's horrible look with lifeless eyes and setting goals.

"...No, I saw that expression on your face just now, you didn't look like you were joking at all, did you? "

Thanks to You Ling's previous expression and words, Shark Sister immediately remembered all her previous impressions and memories of You Ling... and her mentality, which had just been blown away by the joy of victory because You Ling successfully defeated her brother, suddenly became much more sober.

Seeing Shark Girl's nervous look, You Ling knew that he had said the wrong thing and done the wrong thing - but with his entire brain now focused on the duel and his duel brain not yet able to completely recover from it, it was obviously unable to handle such a complicated task as "comforting the girl next to him".

So, You Ling could only remain silent for a few seconds under Shark Girl's astonished gaze. Finally, as if helpless, he nodded firmly and reiterated like a robot: "...Don't worry, I was just joking. Besides, we are all students of the Duel Academy. Wouldn't it be easy for us to duel each other? (Just playing a card game shouldn't be a big deal, right?)"

"—You're kidding me! There's nothing right about you!"

At this point, thanks to You Ling's efforts, Shark Girl took two steps back, looking like Hakimi who was frightened by humans and started panting, and she started to get angry - originally, their team relationship, which was full of joy because of the victory and should have become more stable and closer, suddenly became precarious.

At this moment, although he didn't know Brother Shark, who had just lost to You Ling and was watching his sister and the yellow-haired You Ling leave shoulder to shoulder with bloodshot eyes, he certainly couldn't guess that the two people who he had imagined should be in love and interacting happily had fallen to this point... The team that had just been formed and met for the first time suddenly reached a state of near dissolution with mutual distrust. It was really sad.
