A duelist never gives up!

"Ah, so that's how it is, so that's how it is..." Honglian's mood suddenly fell to the bottom.

Even though Xyz Summoning has only been around for over two years, a new summoning method has appeared. You know, before that, Synchro and Fusion were the main themes of duels.

Perhaps those gifted guys can become even stronger through the new summoning method?

Talented people become stronger.

People without talent will be left behind.

At this moment, Honglian once again felt how cruel the duel was.

I'm afraid even the coldest glacier in the world is warmer than it?

Hey, God of Duel, can you answer me?

Why did you create duels?

Chapter 44: No one says that God can’t do that, right?

"Ah chirp!"

On the street, Ai, who was floating in the air, couldn't help but sneeze.

"Who's scolding me?" Ai raised his eyebrows and put his hands on his hips in dissatisfaction. "Is it you? Ah Qi?!"

"..."

Yuan Qi didn't answer her.

Because Yuan Qi is not by her side at the moment.

Or, because Ai couldn't stand Xuefeng and Yuan Qi's affectionate behavior there, she chose to leave for a while.

"That's not right. Why should I leave?" Ai Yi became angrier and angrier. "I was here first, so she should be the one to leave!"

But... Xuefeng is different from herself. Xuefeng is a normal girl, while she is a god who has lived for who knows how many years. Logically, humans should be together with humans, right?

But...but...it doesn't say that gods can't be with humans...

Ai Yi began to struggle in mid-air, clutching his head and saying, "Damn it! I shouldn't have let Qi meddle in my business!"

……

Honglian's questions were not answered, and the duel would not stop because of this.

Seventeen continued, "I activated the effect of Salamangreat Beacon Lynx, adding the Field Spell Card, Salamangreat's Sanctuary, from my deck to my hand. Immediately afterwards, I activated Salamangreat's Sanctuary."

In an instant, the dim corridor was illuminated by bright flames, and huge volcanoes appeared around Honglian and Shiqi. Hot magma spewed out from the craters, scaring the little girl behind Honglian into trembling.

"Next, due to the effect of Salamangreat's Sanctuary, as long as this card is in the Field Zone, if you want to Link Summon a "Salamangreat" Link Monster, you can use only 1 "Salamangreat" Link Monster you control as the material for the Link Summon."

"I will use Salamangreat FlameLynx as a Link Material and Link Summon it once again—Salamangreat FlameLynx."

"Summon the same monster again?" Honglian was a little confused when seeing this scene. Even if the effect of Beacon Lynx did not last once per turn, it would not make much sense to get a second field. Or was he simply trying to filter and draw?

However, the next second, Seventeen gave his own answer.

"I activate the effect of Salamangreat Gazelle from my hand. This can only be activated if a "Salamangreat" monster other than this one is sent to my Graveyard. Special Summon this card from your hand."

The flaming antelope appeared on the duel field with its strong hooves, roaring at Honglian.

At this time, Honglian finally discovered the second thing wrong.

"Salmanakin Gazelle... standing behind Salamangin Beacon Lynx?" Guren's pupils shrank sharply. "Wait, you have six squares on the field?!"

"That's right. This grid is an EX Zone that appears with Link Monsters. Only monsters Special Summoned from Extra can be summoned here," Seventeen said calmly. "Normally, after detecting a Link Circuit, the Duelist's Duel Disk should automatically have an EX Zone. However, since yours is a Mecha Duel Disk, it doesn't have one."

"Tsk." Honglian couldn't help but smack her lips.

There is one more benefit to link summoning.

And I can't enjoy it myself.

Seventeen, unaware of Guren's thoughts, continued, "I activate Gazelle's second effect. This can only be activated if this card is successfully Normal Summoned or Special Summoned. Send one "Salamangreat" card from your deck, other than "Salamangreat Gazelle," to the Graveyard."

"I'll send the Counter Trap Card, Salamangreat's Roar, to the Graveyard," Seventeen said, inserting another card into the Duel Disk. "Followed by this, I'll activate the Quick-Play Spell Card, Salamangreat's Flame Formation."

"I add 1 Salamangreat monster from my deck to my hand. I choose Salamangreat Armadillo."

"Special recruitment, graveyard stacking and search... the deck system is very powerful." Honglian couldn't help but mutter, considering that Seventeen had just sent the main counter trap to the graveyard, that is to say, Salamangreat is likely to be a first-hand counter deck. Further calculation means... the ability to clear the field may not be very strong.

At least it won't be a mindless second shot like the Crown Tiramisu, otherwise his own Kamikaze shield in the backfield - the power of the atmosphere - will probably be useless.

"Then, I activate the effect of Salamangreat Armadillo Lizard," Seventeen said, sending the newly retrieved Armadillo Lizard to the Graveyard. "If you control a Salamangreat card, discard this card from your hand, and then target 1 face-up monster on the field. That monster gains 500 ATK until the end of this turn."

"I choose the antelope as my target, and then I activate the second effect of the armadillo lizard."

"You can only activate this card if you control a "Salamangreat" monster other than "Salamangreat Armadillo". Special Summon this card from the Graveyard."

"Monsters... so many." The little girl hiding behind Honglian looked at the three flaming monsters on the seventeenth field and said in shock, "But their attack power is so low... except for the antelope, the other two are no more than 1000."

"It doesn't matter." Honglian said solemnly, "If I'm not mistaken, these monsters are used as 'link materials', right?"

"Just like Fusion Summoning, you can summon a Fusion Monster by sending the Fusion Materials that meet the Fusion Monster's requirements to the Graveyard. Link Summoning should follow the same rules. Send the Symbol and the Link Materials required by the Link Monster to the Graveyard to Link Summon it."

"Comparing the two, while Fusion Spell Cards can be fused from your hand without using a Common Summon, Link Summoning doesn't require a Spell Card 'Fusion'. In other words, it's actually easier to summon a Fusion Monster than a Fusion Monster..."

"Smart, but what I'm going to do next is not a link summon." Seventeen stretched out his hand and said,

"I stack Salamangreat Gazelle and Salamangreat Armadillo on the field, and the two monsters form a Gyro Network, and Gyro Summon—Salamangreat Mirage Stallion!"

A black horse wearing golden armor and emitting blazing flames swooped down from mid-air, raising a cloud of dust.

"Cyber ​​Summoning? That's right, it's natural for a duelist who can master the new summoning method to use it." Honglian murmured softly as he looked at the black horse on the seventeenth field.

"I activate the effect of Salamangreat Mirage Stallion," Seventeen said. "To activate this effect, detach 1 Xyz Material from this card. Special Summon 1 'Salamangreat' monster from your Deck in Defense Position."

"I Special Summon Salamangreat Light Jaguar from my Deck."

"Then, I use the Salamangreat Flame Lynx and Salamangreat Light Jaguar on the field as materials to Link Summon—Salamangreat Solar Wolf."

The metal-wrapped Sunlight Wolf appeared on the duel field, waving its claws. In its scarlet eyes, the crazy murderous intent was released towards Honglian without reservation.

"Even without using a Field, Link Monsters can still be used as Link Materials... No, the key is the Field, right?" Guren reacted. "As long as it's a Salamangreat Field, it can be used as Link Material for your Salamangreat Link Monster?!"

"That's true, but even if you knew, what would it matter?" Seventeen said calmly. "I'll activate the effect of Salamangreat Luminous Jaguar in my graveyard, return a Salamangreat Luminous Lynx from my graveyard to the Deck, and Special Summon this card from the Graveyard."

Chapter 45: When playing against the Electronic World deck, you should directly summon

"I will special summon Salamangreat Lamp Jaguar to the link area below the Daylight Wolf." Seventeen continued the operation.

"Link area? What is that?" Honglian couldn't help but ask.

"The area pointed by the link arrow is the Link Zone." Seventeen explained patiently, "Link Monsters can only be Special Summoned in the Ex Zone and the Link Zone."

There are two link arrows for the Daylight Wolf, one on the top, facing Honglian's monster area, and one on the bottom, facing Seventeen's monster area, and the Light Jaguar was just slapped at that place by Seventeen.

"I see... Is there any purpose for summoning him to the link area?" Honglian continued.

"Yes, I activate the effect of Sunlight Wolf. This can only be activated if a monster is Summoned or Special Summoned in the zone this card is linked to. Select 1 Fire monster from your Graveyard and add it to your hand. I choose to add the Antelope from the Graveyard back to my hand."

"Did you just remove the excess materials?" Honglian frowned. Judging from Seventeen's series of operations, the Salamangreat deck was developed by continuously piling up graveyards and then resurrecting from the graveyard. In other words, the opponent's recycling of the Antelope also meant recycling a high-quality First Move.

"Next, I will use the Salamangreat Solar Wolf and Salamangreat Mirage Turbo on the field as Link Materials and Link Summon—Salamangreat Solar Wolf."

"Then, if I activate the effect of Salamangreat Mirage Stallion and this card, Xyz Summoned, is sent to the Graveyard as Link Material for a "Salamangreat" Link Monster, I can target 1 monster on the field. Return that monster to its owner's hand."

"I return the Pachycephalosaurus on your field to my hand."

He actually didn't choose to attack and clear the board, but instead chose to return the card to my hand? Honglian couldn't help but sweat on his forehead. Could it be that he didn't prepare...

"At the same time, trigger the effect of Roar of Salamangreat in my Graveyard. While this card is in the Graveyard, you can activate this effect by using a monster with the same name as this card as a material to Link Summon a "Salamangreat" Link Monster on your side of the field. Set this card on your side of the field."

"Next, I activate the effect of Sunlight Wolf. This card can only be activated if it is Link Summoned using "Salamangreat Sunlight Wolf" as Materials. Select 1 "Salamangreat" Spell/Trap Card in your Graveyard and add it to your hand."

"I choose to return Salamangreat's Flame Formation to my hand."

"While covering the counterattack trap, are we recycling resources again?" Honglian couldn't help but whispered. It seemed to be a resource recycling deck, so... he had to kill him quickly before his resources started to roll up!

"Then, I use Salamangreat Luminous Jaguar as a Link Material to Link Summon Salamangreat Luminous Lynx," Seventeen said, inserting a card into the Duel Board. "Finally, I cover a card, and the turn ends."

"Tsk, you won't attack after all?" Although it was expected, Honglian still said a little unhappy.

"You dare to summon a Pachycephalosaurus with an attack power of 1200 to the field. There must be corresponding protection measures in the backcourt, right?" Seventeen said as a matter of course.

"As expected." Honglian hesitated for a moment, then flipped open a face-down card and said, "I activate the Trap Card - Forced Escape Device, returning the Daylight Wolf on your field to the deck!"

Seventeen was slightly taken aback, then nonchalantly put the Sunlight Wolf back into the Extra Deck and instructed, "Next time you encounter an Electronics deck, just play his Summon. That would be better."

If his hand had been stuck just now and the Ladybug Girl had been forced out of the device and bounced back into his hand, his situation would have become dangerous.

"Well!"

As soon as she used the forced escape device, Honglian felt as if her internal organs were being pricked by needles, and she felt severe pain.

"Hey, hey, hey...it's been so long, aren't you guys used to it yet?" Honglian gritted her teeth and said jokingly to herself, then belatedly turned to Seventeen and said, "What did you just say?"

"...No, nothing." Seventeen shook her head. It was nothing. She would never encounter the electronic card deck again.

In other words, it doesn't matter much if you encounter it.

"Then, it's my turn, draw a card!" Honglian said, stretching out her slender fingers and suddenly pulling a card from the deck.

coming!

Honglian inserted the drawn card into the Duel Board and said, "I activate the Magic Card - Pot of Desire and Greed!"

"Exclude 10 cards from my deck, and I'll draw..."

"Counter." Seventeen mercilessly opened his own face-up card. "I chain-activate the Counter Trap Card - Salamangreat's Roar."

"You can only activate this card when you have a "Salamangreat" Link Monster on your field and the monster's effect, spell, or trap card is activated. Negate that activation and destroy it."

The hot lava hit the Pot of Lust and Greed, burning it to ashes.

When Honglian saw this scene, her right hand, which was about to draw a card, froze slightly and stopped.

"Monster effects, magic, trap cards... can they actually negate and destroy all three? It's incredibly good for a family trap card, isn't it?" Honglian couldn't help but wonder.

However, Honglian had no intention of surrendering here, because in her hands was the last hope.

"I Normal Summon—Crimson Beast Tower Isha!" Crimson slapped the last card in his hand onto the Duel Board and said, "This card's Attack and Defense become the number of your banished cards x 400. I currently have 10 cards in my banished zone, so my Crimson Beast's Attack is 4000!"

"Then, I enter the Battle Phase and use Crimson Lotus Beast to attack your Salamangreat Flame Lynx!"

Facing the onslaught of Crimson Beasts, Seventeen calmly banished a card from his Graveyard and said, "I activate the effect of Salamangreat Beacon Lynx. If a Salamangreat card on my field is destroyed by battle or a card effect, I can banish this card from my Graveyard instead."

"Protected the monster? But even so, you will still take 3500 LP damage." Honglian said.

"That's right, but even so, I still have 4500 LP left, which means it's still within the "safe range." Seventeen was knocked down by the huge impact, but he quickly got up and patted the dust off his body and said indifferently.

"..."

For a moment, Honglian felt like there was something stuck in her throat.

Seventeen is right.

At 8000lp, the Crimson Beast only has 4000 attack power and cannot pose a threat. At least 10 more cards must be removed from the deck.

Maybe after this duel, I have to change my build.

"My turn ends here." Honglian said helplessly. At this moment, she only had one Pachycephalus left in her hand, and there were only Honglian Beast and a trap card left on the field. There was really no room for maneuver.

"Then it's my turn, draw a card."

Seventeen said as he gently drew a card from the deck.

Chapter 46: It’s only been a while since we last met, and you’ve hooked up with someone else!

With a sharp sound of breaking through the air, Seventeen added a card into his hand.

"I enter the Main Phase," Seventeen said, inserting a card into the Duel Board. "I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card - Salamangreat's Flame Formation."

"Add Salamangreat Armadillo from your deck to your hand."

"Are you planning to do this again?" Honglian clicked her tongue.

"This is called deck stability," Seventeen said calmly, flipping over the card he had covered last turn. "I activate the Trap Card - Salamangreat's Wrath."

"Send the Salamangreat Armadillo in my hand to the Graveyard, and then destroy the face-down card in your backfield."

"Peng!"
