A duelist never gives up!

"Damn... isn't this too unreasonable?" Alice looked at Yuan Qidao on the field with a resentful look on her face.

The other party easily got what I wanted but couldn't get. This kind of thing... is really hard to accept.

Yuan Qi didn't notice Alice's resentful expression, but was immersed in the duel and continued to shout, "I am sending Albus's Fallen Yin and the Little Mermaid of the Pearly Tear Elegy Tribe to the graveyard!"

"Fusion Summon!"

"Divine Flame Dragon Hejielong!!!"

The blazing flames gushed out, and the Hejie Dragon bathed in the flames, letting out a deafening roar, as if announcing its arrival to others.

"It's really the power of the mark..." Zhu Xiu looked at the Divine Flame Dragon Hejielong on the original seventh field in shock. For some reason, his body couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

"very good."

Zhu Xiu praised him, "You really didn't disappoint me. Show me your strength right here!"

"Of course!" Hara Nana stretched out her hand and said, "I activate the effect of Little Mermaid in the Graveyard. This can only be activated if this card is sent to the Graveyard by an effect. Return the Fusion Material monsters of this card, including those in the Graveyard, from your hand, the field, and the Graveyard in the order you prefer to the bottom of the owner's Deck, and Fusion Summon that Fusion Monster from the Extra Deck!"

"Then I sent out the effect of the Divine Flame Dragon Hejielong!"

"If this card is Fusion Summoned successfully, you can activate this by discarding 1 card from your hand. From monsters on your field, in your Graveyard, or from your banished monsters, return the Fusion Material Monster determined by a Level 8 or lower Fusion Monster Card, excluding "Hekkai Dragon", to the owner's Deck, and Fusion Summon that Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck!"

“c1c2!!!”

"I send a card in my hand to the Graveyard for a Fusion Summon!"

"Ice Sword Dragon Phantom Ice Dragon!!!"

A giant dragon covered in ice-blue ice crystals appeared on Yuan Qi's field with flashing red eyes.

"Next, I return the Little Mermaid and the Narcissus Mermaid from the Graveyard to the Deck!"

"Fusion Summon!"

"Pearl Tear Lament Tribe - Narcissus Mermaid!!!"

The Narcissus Mermaid once again returned to Yuan Qi's field, but this time her delicate face seemed to be covered with layers of light frost, as if she was angry because of the previous defeat.

Chapter 9: Did I forget something?

However, before letting the Narcissus Mermaid vent her anger, Yuan Qi still had one thing to do.

"Because the Little Mermaid and Narcissus Mermaid in my graveyard have returned to the deck, I can trigger the effect of One World Destroyed - Pearl World!" Yuan Qi pointed at Zi Xiao on Zhu Xiu's field and said, "I choose to destroy Zi Xiao's Knight of the World of Oddity on your field!"

"Chain!" Zhu Xiu frowned and stretched out his hand, saying, "Activate the effect of Purple Night's Mecha Knight. Banish this card and add Azure Sky's Mecha Knight from your deck to your hand."

A huge blue jet hit the Purple Night's World Knight on the Bamboo Cultivation Field, but the Purple Night's World Knight, who had been prepared, jumped lightly and hid in the exclusion zone.

"What a pity! Did he escape?" Xuefeng couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.

"Whether they escaped or not is no longer important." Sera pointed at the three monsters on the original seven fields and chuckled, "There are already enough monsters on the original seven fields to kill."

“2800+3500+2000……8300？！”雪风忍不住震惊道，原七同学居然在一回合就凑齐了8000lp以上伤害的打点吗？！

"But there's still a monster on the Dean's field, right?" Xuefeng pointed at the security guard on Zhuxiu's field.

"No, it will be gone soon." Julie said, looking at Xuefeng with a strange expression, "Haven't you heard of the effect of the Ice Sword Dragon card?"

"Um... I really haven't heard of it." Xuefeng scratched his cheek embarrassedly.

Seeing this, Julie explained, "The effect of the Ice Sword Dragon is..."

"I activate the effect of Narcissus Mermaid to add a Tearful Lamenter, Renohart, from my deck to my hand!" Just as Julie and Yukikaze were explaining, Hara Shichi's voice rang out. "Then, I activate the effect of Ice Sword Dragon. Once during your or your opponent's turn, you can activate this effect by sending a Fusion Monster with 'Albus's Fallen Heir' as Fusion Material from the Extra Deck to the Graveyard. Banish 1 monster on the field. This card cannot use this effect next turn!"

"I'm excluding the safety guards on your field!"

"Peng!"

A massive cone of ice dropped from the sky and struck the Security Guardian, smashing the body of his instrument into pieces.

As a result, the last monster in Zhuxiu Field was gone.

"I didn't expect you to have such a method. Should I say I was right about you?" Zhu Xiu gently pushed his glasses up on his nose. In fact, as early as the moment Yuan Qi activated the brand fusion, he had already seen his own fate. "Come on, attack directly."

"Then I won't be polite." Yuan Qi continued, "I'm entering the battle phase!"

"Use Ice Sword Dragon, Renoheart, and Narcissus Mermaid to directly attack you!"

"Clap!"

Accompanied by a series of huge impacts, Zhu Xiu's thin body was knocked flying, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Zhu Xiu lp: 8000 → 0

Win: Yuan Qi!

"Yeah!" Ai shouted beside Yuan Qi, "We won the first round!"

"Yeah." Yuan Qi nodded, took out a piece of paper and a pen from his clothes, and began to make corrections.

"What are you doing?" Zhu Xiu, who slowly stood up from the ground, couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Hmm? I'm taking notes." Yuan Qi said, turning the paper over for Zhu Xiu to see. "Mark the opponents you've already defeated to avoid repeated challenges."

After all, he had only been in the college for a short time and didn't know many of the teachers.

Zhu Xiu looked at his own name, which was crossed out by a bunch of horizontal lines among the 12 names on the paper, and suddenly felt a twitch in his heart.

Cross out each one you defeat... Is this your death list?

"Who are you going to challenge next?" Zhu Xiu couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Ms. Alice," Yuan Qi thought for a moment and replied, "Director, do you know what deck she uses?"

"Alice..." Zhu Xiu pondered for a moment and replied, "If my memory serves me correctly, she should be using the Dragon Maid Deck, but I heard that she has also mastered the power of connection recently... You should be careful."

"Thank you, I'll pay attention to it." Yuan Qi put the paper away and bowed slightly to Zhu Xiu, saying, "I'm sorry for taking up a lot of your time."

"It's okay. I enjoyed this duel as well." Zhu Xiu waved his hand. Suddenly, he thought of something and took something out of his pocket and handed it to Yuan Qidao. "Didn't you say you wanted a reward before?"

"This is for you."

"This is..." Yuan Qi looked at the small black object in Zhu Xiu's hand and suddenly felt that it looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"A portable communicator," Zhu Xiu said calmly, "although it seems many people also call it a mobile phone."

cell phone?!

Oh, yes, this thing does exist in this world.

"Isn't there no signal in the academy?" Yuan Qi took it curiously, fiddling with it in his hands, and found that it had many similarities with the flip phone in his previous world.

So... the technology tree in this world is so weird.

"The principal had a signal tower installed around the time you went to the competition, so it can be used even on campus," Zhu Xiu said, then suddenly remembered something. "Not many students have communicators these days, so I've written down my number, Nafeli's, and Perlivia's number on it. If you encounter any difficulties, you can contact us."

Is the real reward “being able to ask for help”?

Yuan Qi's eyes lit up and he understood the meaning of Zhu Xiu's words.

But Nero had already told him Perlivia's number.

"Come on, come on, exchange numbers with me!" Sera, who had jumped out of her seat long ago, came to Yuan Qi and waved the communicator in her hand.

"Hey, if I had known earlier, I would have bought one too..." Xuefeng couldn't help but mutter when he saw this scene.

"Don't you have it?" Julie looked at Xuefeng strangely.

"Do you have it?" Xuefeng asked blankly.

"Yes." Julie took out a purple communicator from her pocket.

"I have one too." Nero, who had been silent all this time, took out a black communicator from his pocket and said.

"You...when?!" Xuefeng looked at his friends in shock, feeling as if he was isolated by them.

"I bought it in the capital. Didn't you go shopping?" Julie looked at Xuefeng in confusion.

"..."

"Wait, am I forgetting something?"

Yuan Qi looked at the communicator in his hand and suddenly said.

"Huh? What did you forget?" Ai also tilted his head and looked at Yuan Qi in confusion.

"Hiss... I remember... it seems like someone gave me a cell phone number and asked me to contact her..." Yuan Qi's face turned pale, and he suddenly recalled something he had forgotten.

Chapter 10: Is there something wrong with the Duelist Alliance?

"Beep-beep-beep..."

With a familiar ringtone, the call was finally connected on the other end of the communicator.

"Who?"

A lazy and somewhat unfamiliar voice sounded. Yuan Qi hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Honglian?"

The person on the other end was stunned at first, and then a faint voice came: "Ah? Looking for Honglian, wait... Hey, Honglian, looking for you..."

After a period of silence, a familiar voice once again sounded in Yuan Qi's ears.

"Harachi?"

Honglian, who had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower, was leaning lazily on the sofa in a loose pajamas, and put the communicator to her ear with some fatigue.

"Um, it's me." Yuan Qi said a little embarrassedly.

"Wow, you finally remembered me now?" Honglian gently shook her exposed calf and sneered, "I thought some great hero would disdain to contact a bad guy like me."

"So many things happened that I forgot." Yuan Qi said helplessly.

"Okay, okay, it's nothing actually. You had no reason to contact me in the first place." Honglian said indifferently, "But now you suddenly thought of looking for me, is there something wrong?"

"No, not really." Yuan Qi said frankly, "I just suddenly remembered it and contacted him."

"It seems you've been free lately." Honglian lowered her eyes and said, "I won't say anything about congratulations, you must be tired of hearing it anyway. I'm actually full of jealousy and want to pour it out, but no matter how much I envy you, I can't change the current situation. It's meaningless."

"Is it not possible to connect to the summon?" Yuan Qi asked, remembering Honglian's physical condition.

"Well, Link Summoning doesn't work either." Honglian scratched his head in annoyance. "Besides, with the emergence of Link Summoning, many people have become stronger, but I'm still standing still. Even 8,000 LPS has made it difficult for me, Honglian, to kill monsters..."

"Sorry, it's my fault." Yuan Qi said quickly. After all, if he hadn't wanted to force out the Anti-Duelers Alliance, the Link Summoning might not have appeared so early.

"No, it's not your problem." Honglian denied, "At least in my eyes, you are not the first duelist to use Link Summon."

"?!"

Yuan Qi's pupils shrank sharply, and his voice suddenly became low: "Have you ever seen anyone else perform a Link Summon before?"

"Yeah," Honglian nodded. "During your match, I encountered a Duelist using a Salamangreat deck. It seemed like his deck was specifically centered around Link Summons."

"Salamangreat..." Hara Qi murmured softly upon hearing this familiar name, "Where did you meet him?"

"I met him when he sneaked into the orphanage." Honglian said, glancing at Nineteen who was sitting at the table not far away, and lowered his voice.

"Sneak into an orphanage?!" Yuan Qi frowned, his heart tightening. "What did he do?"

"He didn't do anything, and he left behind some money and a few card decks." Honglian asked with some confusion.

“Huh???” Yuan Qi was confused.

In fact, he had just thought of the Anti-Duelers League and believed that they were planning something in secret again.

But...giving money and decks to the orphanage...

Are you doing charity?

Do you feel guilty because you did something bad?

Yuan Qi was a little confused.

"Actually... I suspect he is the duelist who left our orphanage - Seventeen." Honglian whispered.

"I seem to have some impression of this name." Yuan Qi knocked his head with his hand, but he couldn't remember it. Ai, who was standing beside him, sighed and reminded Yuan Qi in his ear:

"Have you forgotten the conversation between Nefili and Purlivia? Seventeen should be their classmate and friend."

"Isn't he dead?" Yuan Qi suddenly recalled and blurted out subconsciously, then he realized that there was something wrong with his words and quickly changed his words.

"Isn't he dead?"
