A duelist never gives up!

But before that...

John looked at Sera on the field, his eyes turned cold - he must get rid of this monster first, and Sera can't be allowed to earn resources anymore!

"Although Sensus Beast Fierce Whirlwind was destroyed, its effect is still active. I Special Summon Sensus Beast Kama-ni Tachi from the Deck to the field."

John Special Summoned a Fairy Beast from his deck.

"I enter the battle phase. The Demonic Beast's Kama-ni-dachi attacks the Sera's Worm Demon on your field!"

The demon beast brandished a sharp sword and swung it fiercely at the Sera Worm Demon, but was blocked by a green leaf.

"This is……"

"Flicia's effect: As long as this card is in the Monster Zone, any "Bug Demon" monsters on your field other than "Flicia's Bug Demon" cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects, and cannot be targeted by your opponent's effects." Sera explained idly.

"Is this actually the case?" A drop of cold sweat broke out on John's forehead. He said unwillingly, "But you still have to take the damage from the battle!"

"It doesn't matter." Sera said that the damage of 1000lp was not a big deal.

Sierra: 8000 → 7000 lp.

"In that case, I'll end this round like this." John said helplessly, with no more points to expand on.

"Well...it's my turn, draw a card." Sera gently drew a card from the deck, then looked at the card and smiled slyly.

"Very good, no hits."

Chapter 69: Do you understand what "Ten Thousand Emperors" means?

Is it too good not to get started?

John heard Sera's low hum and felt doubtful. Normally, shouldn't he be looking forward to getting the key card?

However, before John could think about it, Sera had already started to act.

"I enter Main Phase One and Normal Summon Trion's Bug." Sera used her little hand, which was no different from a little girl's, to pull out a card from her left hand and placed it on the Duel Board.

Then, with a flash of white light, the second Trion appeared in everyone's sight.

"I activate Trion's effect and add the Trap Card - Bottomless Pit from the deck to my hand." Sera looked at the lonely monster on John's field and casually retrieved a Trap Card.

After all... no matter which Trap Card you retrieve, you won't be able to use it in the next turn.

Then, she looked at the two four-star monsters on her field, opened her slightly rosy mouth, and said in a deep voice: "I will stack the Tio Worm Demon and Trion on the field!"

"Two monsters form an X-Net, X-Summon—"

"NO.39 Hope Emperor Hope Double!"

A monster that looked almost the same as Hope appeared in front of the audience, flapping its white wings.

"Hope Double?!" the commentator couldn't help but exclaim, "Sera actually summoned a [Hope] monster that's never been officially recorded! Is this card the reason she's been hidden from the team until now?"

In an instant, the commentator's mind had already imagined the scene of having to hide his strength and sit on the bench for Sera and the team's victory...

No, I was simply too lazy to go on stage before.

Yuan Qi complained from the audience that perhaps because Lanka had turned into excessive material, Ai's warm little hands temporarily moved away from his eyes, allowing him to see the current situation on the field clearly.

He glanced at Hope Double on the field, then turned to Xuefeng and Julie and asked, "Who's going to play next?"

"Eh? With 8000lp, they'll have to fight for a while, right?" Xuefeng tilted his head and said. After all, the Bug Demon deck used by Senior Sister Sera had a relatively low payout.

"No, it's almost over." Unlike Xuefeng and the others, Yuan Qi knew the effect of Hope Double on the field.

After all, he is the famous Ten Thousand Emperors. Countless linked monsters with attack power lower than 2000 have been defeated by the Ten Thousand Emperors.

"I activate the Hope-Double effect." Sera's crisp voice sounded again.

Following Sera's voice, everyone present immediately focused their attention on Hope Double on the field, curiously looking at him, wondering if he had any powerful effects.

"You can activate this card by removing 1 Xyz Material from this card. Add 1 'Double Chance' from your deck to your hand." Sera said, retrieving the Double Chance from her deck.

"So that's how it is. Hope Double is used to search for doubling opportunities?" John knew about Hope + Double Chance, a well-known combo in the dueling world.

"But that's not all." Sera said calmly, taking Hope out of the card box. "Immediately after that, one 'Hope, Emperor' monster other than 'No. 39 Hope, Emperor - Double' is Special Summoned from the Extra Deck as a Xyz Summon. The monster Special Summoned by this effect has its attack power doubled, and cannot attack directly."

"What? The attack power doubled?!" John's pupils shrank suddenly, and he suddenly thought of something, and his face turned pale.

However, Sera would not stop what she was doing because of John's exclamation: "I will use Hope Double as an excessive material, excessive summoning-"

"White wings of hope! Appear, No. 39! Messenger of light, Hope Emperor!"

"Boom!"

With dust flying all over the sky, Hope King Hope suddenly landed on the lawn of the duel arena.

And because of Hope's doubling effect, his attack power at this moment is - 5000!

"Wait, if this is the case, then..." John frantically calculated, "Hope doubles x2, and then doubles the chance again x2, doesn't that mean..."

"Attack power 10000!" the host exclaimed before John could come up with an answer. "Using the effects of Hope, the King of Hope, and the doubling opportunity, Sera's Hope can hit an attack power of !"

"And the monster on John's field only has 1800 attack power. If John didn't have the Chestnut Ball, the outcome of this duel would have already been decided!"

"Hehe, now that you understand, do you want to surrender?" Sera narrowed her eyes, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and sneered.

"I'm not even as good as a little girl." John said, hinting at Nero, "Go ahead and hit me if you want!"

"Oh, don't worry, even if you surrender, I will pretend not to hear it." Sera waved her hand and shouted, "I'm entering the battle phase!"

"I hope that Emperor Hope will attack the Demonic Beast Kama-ni-dachi!"

Hope in front of Sera waved the silver knife in his hand and rushed towards the demon beast on John's field.

"Then, I activate the effect of Hope, the King of Hope!" Sera said immediately. "When you or your opponent's monster declares an attack, you can activate this effect by removing 1 Xyz Material from this card. That attack is negated!"

"I will hope that Royal Hope's attack is ineffective!"

"coming soon!"

"It's the Emperor of Hope with 10,000 attack power!"

"Hope! Hope! Hope!"

The audience in the auditorium couldn't help but shout excitedly.

And just as the audience expected, Sera inserted the Double Chance in her hand into the Duel Disk: "Right now, I activate the Quick Attack Magic Card - Double Chance!!!"

"When a monster's attack is negated, you can activate this effect by targeting that monster. During this Battle Phase, that monster can only attack once more. During the Damage Step of that monster's attack, this effect doubles its ATK!"

"Hope King! Fight for me once more!" A huge voice burst out from Sera's petite body, "Attack the Demonic Beast Kama-ni-dachi!"

"brush!"

The two silver swords chopped down at lightning speed. The attacking demon beast Kama-ni Tachi picked up the sword in his hand and wanted to block it. The two blades collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

However, as Hope's attack power doubled again due to the doubling opportunity, the sword in the demon beast's hand made a "crackling" sound, and then was ruthlessly crushed, and the demon beast was also cut in half by Hope's silver giant sword.

"Hope's attack power is 10000, while your demon beast's attack power is only 1800, so just take this 8200lp damage!" Sera raised her onion-like index finger and said to John.

But it was too late for John to make any other sound.

The huge impact hit his thin body. He wanted to grit his teeth and pretend to be a tough guy to get through it.

But the power is too great.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"

John let out a shrill cry and flew away like a kite with a broken string.

"She's here! The winner of the second duel is from the Duelist Academy—Sera!"

"Let's cheer for it!"

Sera listened to the deafening cheers around her. She, who had just been full of enthusiasm, suddenly felt a sense of fatigue in her heart. She had to yawn as she walked towards the rest area.

There's no way, she was really playing games last night.

Chapter 70: I seem to have stolen too much limelight?

"Were we moved back to the next round so soon?"

Lin Xiaotang looked at the score displayed on the big screen and couldn't help feeling a little impatient.

"It's okay." Haitang waved her hand and said, "Losing to Sera is within our budget... How's John?"

"He just fainted. The doctor said he'll wake up this afternoon and won't affect tomorrow's competition." The team leader said, pursing his lips and said, "If we really have a competition tomorrow."

"It's only one to one now. Besides, the opponent has already lost two generals, Nero and Sera. As for the remaining Xuefeng and Julie, even we... well, can barely deal with them." Unlike yesterday, the short-haired girl who was originally a little discouraged became optimistic after the mutual encouragement with her teammates yesterday.

"Then can you play in the next round?" Hai Lan suddenly asked.

"Me?" The short-haired girl was slightly stunned and couldn't help biting her lower lip. "It's okay for me to go up...but..."

"It doesn't matter. Even if you lose, no one will blame you." Hai Lan patted the short-haired girl's shoulder.

"Okay, I'm willing to play!" said the short-haired girl with a firm look.

A few minutes later, the commentator looked at the list in his hand and said, "The matchups for the third round are Meizhi from Yunxing Academy versus Julie from Duelist Academy!"

"So you are still a little nervous?" Yuan Qi looked at Xuefeng beside him and asked in confusion.

"Well, how should I put it..." Xuefeng frowned and thought for a moment, "I feel that Julie-senpai has a desire to play, so should I let her play?"

"The desire to go on stage?" Yuan Qi looked at the purple-haired girl standing on the stage and immediately understood something.

"You want to prove yourself," Ai said. "After all, you and Nero are too dazzling. If she doesn't shine a little, even a pearl will become a dull pebble."

"I seem to have stolen too much of the spotlight?" Yuan Qi finally realized this. After all, there were five people participating in the competition. Just as Sera complained, she had played four games by herself, while she hadn't played in any of them. Although Sera herself didn't want to play, but to be honest...

I have indeed taken up too many opportunities to perform.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it," Ai consoled Yuan Qi. "The competition will definitely favor the strongest players. If the format wasn't a five-on-five kill system, but a five-on-five knockout system, I'm afraid many people who finally made it to the starting lineup would have to sit on the bench the entire time, right?"

Yuan Qi did not respond, but turned his gaze to the competition field and silently cheered for Julie in his heart.

"duel!"

"duel!"

There was no unnecessary greeting. As soon as the two stood on the stage, they couldn't wait to raise the duel disks in their hands and started the duel directly.

"drop!"

Julie looked at her ringing duel disk and said bluntly, "The first move belongs to me!"

"Tsk." Meizhi smacked her lips slightly. It wasn't because she had been robbed of the initiative, as her deck was already the second-hand deck, but because...

She got stuck.

That's right, after following Hai Lan's advice yesterday, she filled the main deck with three copies of the Dark Realm God Crimson Nopo, which was originally scheduled to be played next.

And now all three are in hand.

While Crimson Nova possesses powerful attack and effects, it can only be Special Summoned by showing three types of "Fangkai" cards in your hand, other than this card. Currently, the two remaining cards in Michi's hand are Fangkai spells...

If she can't draw the first movement in the next draw, she will be completely stuck.

"I enter the Main Phase." Julie didn't know Meizhi's current situation, so she continued to speak at her own pace. "I activate the effect of Jack Pumpkin in my hand, sending Banshee from the Corpse World to the Graveyard and Special Summoning this card to the field."

Jack Pumpkin appeared on the duel field, holding his blue scepter and emitting faint blue will-o'-the-wisp fire.

"Then I activate the effect of Banshee of the Graveyard Corpse World, banishing this card, and activate a Field Spell Card from my Deck—Undead World!"

"Jie Jie Jie~"

Along with a sinister laugh, the undead world emitting the breath of death and darkness enveloped the entire duelist, causing Meizhi, who was standing opposite, to turn pale and tremble subconsciously twice.

"Next, I usually summon the Chorus Zombies," Julie continued.

"How come she got the upper hand again?" Lin Xiaotang in the audience said unhappily. There were only six cards in total, including Qichang Zombie and Shiranui's Hermit. That was to say, the only monsters in Julie's deck that could be adjusted and used to pile up graves were these six cards. Once a monster like Minotaur got the upper hand, even if it could be deployed, it would not be possible to summon Gigantosaurus without adjustments.

"What's the big deal? Don't you also use the Electronic Dragon Core and Electronic Emergency SOS every day?" Hai Lan said lightly.

"That's...that's the bond between me and the Cyber ​​Dragon!" Lin Xiaotang retorted.

Hai Lan was too lazy to pay attention to him, but looked at Meizhi on the field. Honestly, no matter how much Julie expanded, at most she could only defeat the Giant Skeleton Dragon. With Meizhi's strength, it was still acceptable.

But...why does Meizhi look so bad?
