A duelist never gives up!

"What's the point of doing this?" the short-haired girl asked in confusion.

"Yes, raise the upper limit and lower the lower limit." Hai Lan said solemnly, "Given our current state, if we go into the competition like this, we're basically doomed to lose, so... should we change the construction?"

"Wait, is this the plan?" The tall boy suddenly realized.

"Didn't you submit a card list before the competition? The main deck has 40 to 60 cards, and the side deck has 15 cards." Hai Lan said lightly.

"Now, it's time to use the side deck we prepared in advance."

"Let's be more extreme in our builds, don't worry about getting stuck, and don't consider versatility."

"Turn your deck into the sharpest spear and stab your enemies fiercely!"

Chapter 65: Ritual Jun vs. Cyber ​​Dragon!

The next day, early in the morning.

The audience seats at the National College Competition were now packed, with pairs of bright eyes staring intently at the empty duel arena, waiting for the contestants to take the stage.

"Ding!"

With a crisp bell, today's game officially began.

The commentator came out to introduce the morning's events. "Today's first match will be between Duelist Academy and Cloudwalk Academy! Both teams are formidable contenders who have fought their way through numerous sieges. We're sure they'll bring you a thrilling duel. Now, please submit your rosters for the first round!"

Perhaps because of a night's rest, the commentator's voice has bid farewell to yesterday's hoarseness and regained its previous passion. I just don't know if he can maintain this good condition for the whole day.

At this moment, in the Duelist Academy's rest area, Yuan Qi looked at Sera, who was dozing in a corner wearing sunglasses, and said, "Senior, didn't you insist on playing yesterday? Why are you backing off now?"

"No, I played games too late last night and I feel so sleepy." Sera stretched out her white palm to cover her slightly open mouth and yawned, "Who of you go first? I'll take a rest."

Having said that, he leaned back in the chair and continued to sleep without any defense.

"Well... I don't really want to go on stage now." Xuefeng said timidly. He was the first to go on stage yesterday and it was entirely due to his momentum. If he went on stage now, his calves would probably tremble with nervousness.

"Let Nero go first," Julie suggested. "Whether he strikes first or last, Nero's deck is capable of fighting. Since this is the semifinals, it's better to play it safe."

"Huh?" Nero's expressionless face froze for a moment when someone called his name. He asked in a daze, "What?"

"Why are you distracted when the game is about to start?" Yuan Qi said helplessly.

"Sorry, I'm thinking about something." Nero's fair face showed a slight apology.

"Then it's Nero." Nefeli picked up the pen and wrote Nero's name neatly.

"Oh, okay." Nero then realized that he was going to start, so he stood up from his chair and said that he was ready to play.

"Okay, the Duelist Academy will send out Nero, who uses Jijijun, and the player from Yunxing Academy... is Lin Xiaotang, who uses Cyber ​​Dragon!" As the competition entered the semi-finals, the players' deck information was basically exposed, so the commentator simply said it directly to give the audience a more intuitive feeling.

"This is troublesome. Didn't expect her to be the first to go on stage again?"

In the lounge area of ​​Yunxing Academy, Hai Lan watched Nero slowly walk onto the stage and gritted her teeth as she said, "If she just negates the Extra Monster, it's fine. But if she summons a Hollow Dragon King, then without the Main Phase 1 Cyber ​​Dragon, there's no way she can kill it with just Quick Attack Fusion."

As for the first move?

Cyber ​​Dragon does not have this option.

At least after yesterday's discussion, Lin Xiaotang's construction is now a complete second-attack electronic dragon otk, and he has not considered the issue of taking the initiative at all.

Lin Xiaotang, who was on the field, also realized this, but there was no fear on his face. Instead, he said excitedly, "Come on! The stronger they are, the more worthy I am to defeat them!"

Nero raised his eyelids and glanced at him lightly. Without any response, he just raised his slender left arm and said

"duel."

"duel."

"drop."

Lin Xiaotang looked at his duel disk and grinned, saying without hesitation: "I choose the last move!"

"Lin Xiaotang actually chose to go second?!" The commentator couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at this scene. "While Cyber ​​Dragon is indeed a second-strike deck, Nero's Ritual of All Goes First has monsters that can suppress Extras and cause the opponent to skip Main Phase 1. Going second doesn't benefit from this... Could it be that Lin Xiaotang is choosing the lesser of two evils?!"

"If we fight the Cyber ​​Dragon, it should be safe, right?" Nafeli couldn't help but say when he saw this scene.

"Normally speaking, it should be stable, and... it's not as good as the previous 4000lp." Yuan Qi said in a deep voice.

That’s right, on the field, the lp values ​​of Nero and Lin Xiaotang are showing 8000lp.

In a sense, the new rules of 8000lp are a weakening of the back-attack kill deck.

"My turn, entering the Main Phase." Nero looked at the five cards in his hand and thought for a moment. "I activate the effect of Light Lance Dragon Shadow Cloak. This card can only be activated by discarding it from your hand. From your deck, add one Shadow Cloak monster other than Light Lance Dragon Shadow Cloak to your hand."

"I choose to add Unico's Shadow Cloth to my hand." Nero said.

"Did you get started with Unicom Search right away?" Hai Lan's face darkened, and she couldn't help but worry about Lin Xiaotang.

"Then, I activate the Ritual Spell Card—Kaleidoscope of Shadow Cloak," Nero said, inserting a card from his hand into the Duel Board. "I send the Rainbow Herald from the Extra Deck to the Graveyard and Ritual Summon—Unico's Shadow Cloak."

Unico, holding a spear, appeared on the field again, causing bursts of exclamations. After his performance in this competition, people gradually became fond of this powerful monster that can only negate the effects of the opponent's additional monsters.

"Next, I activated the effect of Rainbow Herald in the Graveyard and added the Ritual Magic Card - Advanced Ritual from the deck to my hand." Nero continued.

"It's coming." Someone in the audience couldn't help swallowing.

"Ah, I don't know which monster it is, but I'm excited no matter which one it is!"

"Come on! Ritual summons!"

In stark contrast to the excited audience, Nero remained remarkably calm. She calmly inserted the Advanced Ritual Spell she had just retrieved into the Duel Board and said, "I activate the Ritual Magic Card—Advanced Ritual Spell. I send a Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my deck to the Graveyard and Ritual Summon—Blue-Eyes Chaos Ultra Dragon."

"Boom!"

The silver-white blue-eyed Chaos Dragon flapped its huge wings, stirring up gusts of wind.

"Great! It's the Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon!"

"come on! Come on!"

"Summon another Void Dragon Demon King!"

"I'm ending this round." After Nero did this, he didn't continue to make moves, but ended the round just like that.

"What a pity. If there were another Void Dragon Demon King, it would be a sure kill." Nafeli said with some regret.

But there is nothing we can do. After all, it is impossible to be so lucky every time. With Unico and Jilong, it is almost enough.

"No Void Dragon Demon King? If so... I'll win this duel!" Lin Xiaotang looked at the two dark monsters on Nero's field, sneered, and placed his hand on the duel disk.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Chapter 66: Go! Electronic Terminator Dragon!

Ever since the new 8000lp rule came out yesterday, the following statement has been circulating in the dueling community:

The otk attack from behind is about to decline.

After all, although both are kills, the difficulty of 8000lp and 4000lp is completely different.

Lin Xiaotang didn't know whether the otk from behind had failed.

But...with only 8000lp, you think you can stop my Cyber ​​Dragon?!

What a joke!

"I enter the main stage and normally summon Cyber ​​Dragon Core!" Lin Xiaotang slammed the monster in his hand on the duel disk.

The silver electronic dragon core flashed red light and appeared in front of Lin Xiaotang, gently swinging its long mechanical tail.

"Then I activate the effect of Cyber ​​Dragon Core and add Cyber ​​Emergency Call from the deck to my hand!" Lin Xiaotang said directly after adding Cyber ​​Emergency Call to her hand, "Then, I activate Cyber ​​Emergency Call!"

"Add Cyber ​​Dragon Jidaisei from your deck to your hand!"

"Then, I activate the effect of Cyber ​​Dragon: Jidaisei, discarding Cyber ​​Dragon from my hand and Special Summoning this card from my hand!"

The blue and white Electronic Dragon Second Generation Star appeared next to the Electronic Dragon Core. It also had a silver appearance, but compared to the Electronic Dragon Core, the Second Generation Star was more vivid and brighter in color.

"I activate the effect of Next Generation Star. If this card is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned successfully, I can activate this effect by targeting 1 Machine-Type monster with 2100 ATK or DEF in your Graveyard. If that monster is Special Summoned, I Special Summon Cyber ​​Dragon from my Graveyard!"

So, the Cyber ​​Dragon that had just been sent to the cemetery was revived from the cemetery under the power of the next generation star.

"Brilliant! Contestant Lin Xiaotang actually summoned three Cyber ​​Dragons in one go!" The commentator couldn't help but cheer for Lin Xiaotang. "If he had Fusion in his hand right now, he could have directly summoned the Cyber ​​End Dragon and turned the situation around!"

"Indeed, if Cybertron attacks Unico first, and then Nero doesn't have a Soul Bird in his hand in the next round, he will have to exchange Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon and Cybertron." Julie said after thinking for a moment.

"No, it's more than that." Yuan Qi looked solemnly at the excited Lin Xiaotang on the court and said, "Looking at him, Nero's game might be in jeopardy."

That’s right, Lin Xiaotang felt restless at the moment, but it was not because of the scorching sun, but because the fire of a duelist in his heart was burning fiercely!

"Twist? Ah, yes, I did intend to twist!" Lin Xiaotang shouted with a confident smile on his face, "I activate the Fusion Spell Card - Power Combination! Send all three Cyber ​​Dragons on the field to the Graveyard!"

"Fusion Summon!"

"Come out! My pride! My soul!"

"Electro-Terminator Dragon!!!"

"Bulging!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the huge electronic Terminator Dragon appeared in everyone's eyes under the sunlight.

"Attack power is 8000?!"

"The effect of combining powers? What a shame, if it was 4000lp I would have killed him."

"It's a shame, after all, it's already 8000lp."

When the audience saw this scene, they all felt sorry for Lin Xiaotang.

But the teammates who were familiar with Lin Xiaotang laughed.

"That card should be ready, right?" Hai Lan chuckled.

"This guy is so straightforward, it's too easy to see through him." The tall boy smiled helplessly.

This card is abandoned by many professional duelists.

It cannot be used as a fusion, nor can it retrieve monster cards.

A card that has no meaning for the expansion.

However, it is a very powerful card.

At this moment, it is lying quietly in Lin Xiaotang's hands.

Originally, Lin Xiaotang only put one card in the main deck, but after a discussion with his teammates yesterday, he moved the two cards on the side to the main deck.

So, he naturally drew it after placing a full three cards.

That is……

"Feel the violent aesthetics unique to machines!" Lin Xiaotang said with a flushed face, "I activate the magic card - Restriction Release!"

"The ATK of all Machine-Type monsters on your field is doubled until the end of this turn! Monsters affected by this effect are destroyed during this turn's End Phase!"

"Therefore, the Cyber ​​End Dragon on my field has an attack power of—16000!"

"What?! The restrictions are lifted!" Nafeli couldn't help but stand up in surprise. "Why... No, wait, if the LP becomes 8000, then it makes sense to play this card..."

That's right, the reason why Cyber ​​Dragon gave up this card before was entirely because it was in a 4000lp environment. Lifting the usage restrictions would mean damage overflow, which was unnecessary.

But now that the rule has changed to 8000lp, things are different.

Lifting the restrictions can double the Cyber ​​Dragon's killing power again!

"See?! This is the power of the Cyber ​​Dragon!" Lin Xiaotang waved his hands frantically and shouted, "I'm entering the battle phase!"

"Go! Cyber ​​End Dragon! Attack Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon!"

The Cyber ​​Terminator Dragon went berserk because of the lifting of restrictions, flashing its scarlet eyes as it charged angrily at the Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon.

Two huge dragons started fighting in the arena. After a while, with an unwilling roar, the Blue-Eyed Chaos Dragon was defeated and sent to the cemetery.

After defeating the Blue-Eyes Chaos Extreme Dragon, the furious Electronic Terminator Dragon had no intention of stopping, but continued to rush towards Nero's petite body.

Nero looked at the aggressive Cyber-Terminator Dragon, calmly lowered his arm, and just stood there to take it.

"Clap!"

As a result, the huge impact knocked Nero to the ground, and then Nero's neck twisted and he fainted.

Nero: lp——0.
