A duelist never gives up!

That’s right, Honglian has his limits as a Forsaken God. No matter how much he improves his willpower, he cannot withstand the mental attacks of powerful monsters again and again.

So, she tamed the Red Lotus Beast and borrowed its power.

I originally thought it would be a very difficult thing, but for some reason, after the duel with Yuan Qi, the willpower of the Red Lotus Demon Beast seemed to have inexplicably decreased a lot, and I was able to reversely control the Red Lotus Demon Beast and use its power.

However, this state cannot last long.

Honglian is, after all, just an ordinary human body.

"Peng!"

The shadow of the mechanical snake disappeared in an instant, and the mechanical snake on the field stopped twisting and seemed to have calmed down.

"Sorry, the new monster we recently acquired is a little disobedient." Honglian explained to Xifeng.

"Go on." Xifeng looked at Honglian silently, "Let me see how your duel now compares to before."

"Why do you act like an elder teaching a younger person?" Honglian sneered.

"Isn't it?" Xifeng said a little disappointedly.

Honglian didn't answer, but simply sent his entire extra deck to the banishment zone and said, "I banish 15 cards! Special Summon the Gluttonous Beast that Devours Millions from my hand!!!"

Gluttony with its bloody mouth opened wide appeared on Honglian's field. Even after eating 15 cards, it did not feel satisfied.

"Then..." Honglian slammed a card in his hand on the Duel Board and said, "I Normal Summon! Honglian Monster Tai-Isha!!!"

The crimson-covered Red Lotus Demon Beast Ta Yisha let out a deafening roar, its golden eyes fixed on Xifeng.

"Crimson Beast's ATK and DEF become the number of your banished cards x 400. Right now, I have 33 cards in my banished zone... which means Crimson Beast now has 13200 ATK!" Crimson shouted, waving his right arm. "I enter the Battle Phase!"

"Use Primal Lifeform Nibiru to attack the Primal Lifeform token on your field!!!"

The attack power of the original life form Nibiru is 3000, while the defense power of the original life form derivative is 2500, so Xifeng's field suddenly opened up and there was no monster left!

"Then... I'll use the Red Lotus Beast to attack you directly!"

The scorching flames spurted out from the mouth of the Red Lotus Monster, directly wrapping Xifeng in the flames, as if to burn him to ashes.

"Well!!!"

Xifeng fell to the ground in a daze, the duel disk in his left hand slowly disappeared, and the cards originally inserted in the duel disk were scattered on the ground.

"Infinite Bubble, Salamangreat's Flame Formation, Salamangreat's Fury..." Honglian looked at the three cards that fell to the ground, lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Hey, what are you doing? Are you deliberately losing to me? Do you think I can't beat you?"

Xifeng shook his head: "I just... don't want to duel anymore."

"A little tired."

And...if Honglian arrested me, it would be considered a great achievement, right?

Anyway, I was planning to go to jail. Instead of being caught by others, it would be better to let Honglian do it. In this way, maybe Honglian can get one step closer to her dream.

"My dream can no longer be realized, so I have to become the Duel King." Xifeng looked at Honglian's pretty face, smiled with relief, and fainted.

Honglian sighed slightly and shouted to the outside of the alley: "Hey, come out and take him away. You are here, right?"

Then, a little girl wearing a motorcycle helmet gently appeared in front of Honglian: "I disagreed with this escape from the beginning. Unfortunately, everyone in our "blank slate" department is a Forsaken of God, and we really don't have much say in the organization..."

"Stop, I'm not interested in the decisions within your organization. Take him away and we'll talk about it later." Honglian pointed at Xifeng on the ground.

She had no intention of capturing Xifeng from the beginning.

"Don't you want to know the answer?" the little girl looked at Honglian and said.

"can you tell me?"

The little girl shook her head. "I'm only responsible for research within the organization and don't know the private affairs of other members."

"I never thought that the president of the Forsaken Gods Mutual Aid Association would actually be a member of a terrorist organization." Honglian chuckled. "I was really shocked when you suddenly found me a few days ago."

The "little" girl in front of her was one of the people who denied her in the first place.

But at the same time, he is also one of the people who has been helping himself.

He is a very rational, very annoying, but very kind and likable guy.

Chapter 67: I activate the magic card - Brand Fusion!

"I'll contact you later."

After the little girl said this, she dragged Xifeng's body out of the alley, leaving Honglian alone.

"Huh..." Honglian leaned against the cold wall, took a deep breath, and looked at the alliance members who had fainted on the ground. She couldn't help but twitched her lips, "Next, I'm going to faint too."

However, just as Honglian was about to attack him, a somewhat cold voice sounded like a biting winter wind: "Are you a member of the Seagull Group? Or are you a remnant of the Anti-Duelers Alliance?"

"Hey, hey, hey, you can tell by looking at the uniform I'm wearing... Wait, who are you?!" Honglian turned around weakly and looked at the man who appeared at the alley entrance at noon. Her flaming eyes suddenly shrank.

The cold man in front of him with silver hair, fiery red cape and black uniform is none other than the CEO of the Duelist Alliance - Avis Claude!

"Under the current circumstances, it's possible for members of the Anti-Dueling League to wear the same system as ours." Avis said in a deep voice, "So, answer my question. Are you a member of the Seagull Group? Or are you a remnant of the Anti-Dueling League?"

"Tsk, you're questioning me right off the bat? Is this how you treat the wounded?" Honglian smacked her lips in dissatisfaction. However, seeing Avis raise his Duel Disc without hesitation, she rolled her eyes and said, "I'm a member of another team who came to support after receiving the news."

Her current physical condition is not suitable for a second duel.

"Which group, and what's the number?" Avis pressed on.

"Team Shigure, number 3231." Honglian said impatiently, "I'm injured. Can I leave now?"

Avis didn't say anything, but looked at a long-haired woman who was also wearing a fiery red shawl among her companions standing behind her.

"His identity is correct. He's a newcomer who recently joined the alliance." The woman behind Avis said, stroking the tablet in her hand. "He was a student at the Duelist Academy before, but the Duelist Academy has blacklisted him for unknown reasons. However, he has no connection with the Anti-Duelers Alliance. Do we need to investigate further?"

"No need." Avis shook his head and continued to stare at Honglian. "Where is Xifeng, the cadre of the Anti-Duelers' League?"

"Do you think a newbie like me can beat him? He was killed in less than two rounds." Honglian said with drooping shoulders. "Any other questions?"

"No, the mission was tiring, go and have a good rest." Avis said to the people behind him, "Let's chase him, we can't let Xifeng escape!"

Chase him, chase him. No matter how hard you try, you will never catch him. After all, Xifeng... No, Seventeen has not left the capital at all.

"Wait for me."

Just as Honglian left the alley, a hook-nosed man wearing a monocle behind Avis suddenly spoke.

"What's wrong, Tyr?" Avis turned around and asked.

"There's something wrong with this little girl." The tall Tail looked down at Honglian and said, "She clearly has almost no dueling power in her body, so why does she have a duel disk on her arm? And why was she able to join our Duelist Alliance through dueling?"

Avis's expression changed, and his tough face turned gloomy. He took a step and slowly walked towards Honglian, looking at the duel disk on Honglian's arm and said in a deep voice:

"Miss Honglian, would you mind letting me see your duel disk?"

"Mind." Honglian took two steps back and said cautiously, "My duel disk has nothing to do with you, right?"

"Then let me rephrase it." Avis raised his duel disk. "Do you mind dueling with me?"

"...Even if I say no, you won't stop, right?" Honglian raised her duel disk and said viciously, "Then come on!"

"duel!"

"duel!"

"Beep!" Avis's duel disk made a slight sound.

However, he did not rush to draw the card. Instead, he said to the people behind him: "You go chase Xifeng first, Muzi stay."

After saying that, Avis turned around and said to Honglian: "I choose to take the first move."

Then Avis reached out and gently drew five cards from the deck.

"Then I will enter the main phase and normally summon Albur from the Death Prison." Avis slapped Albur in his hand on the duel disk with an expressionless face.

The next second, Alub, dressed in black, appeared in front of Avis. The strange smile painted on his mask made people feel creepy.

"Then I activate Albur's effect and add Brand Fusion from my hand." Avis said, adding Brand Fusion from the deck to his hand, and then directly inserted it into the Duel Board, "I activate the magic card - Brand Fusion!"

"Send Albus's Fallen and Tragic Death Prison Actor from the deck to the graveyard! Fusion Summon!"

"Divine Flame Dragon Hejielong!"

Blazing flames spurted out from the ground, and a giant black dragon appeared in front of Avis with its head held high, letting out a huge roar.

"I activate the effect of Tragedy of the Deathly Prison Actor. This effect can only be activated if this card is sent to the Graveyard by a card effect or banished by a card effect. Add 1 "Deathly Prison" monster other than "Tragedy of the Deathly Prison Actor" from your deck to your hand!"

"Then, chain-activate the effect of Hekai Dragon, the Flame God Dragon. If this card is successfully Fusion Summoned, discard 1 card from your hand to activate this effect. From monsters on your field, in your Graveyard, and from your banished monsters, return the Fusion Material Monsters determined by Fusion Monster Cards of Level 8 or lower, excluding Hekai Dragon, to the owner's Deck, and Fusion Summon that Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck!"

“c1c2!”

"Come out!"

"Ice Sword Dragon Phantom Ice Dragon!!!"

"..."

ten minutes later.

"I'll use the Ice Sword Dragon to attack directly!"

"Peng!!!"

"Ugh!" Honglian was knocked to the ground by the impact, letting out a low groan, then her head tilted and she fainted.

"Muzi." Avis put away the duel disk and said to the woman behind him.

Mu Zi nodded, squatted down in front of Honglian, looked at the duel disk that still hung on her arm, and said, "It is indeed a man-made duel disk. Although there is no precedent, making a duel disk should not be illegal, right? Why..."

"Do you think normal materials can be made into a duel disk? Besides, a duelist without dueling power wouldn't be able to duel even if they had one. Furthermore, she refused to let us inspect it, which is incredibly suspicious at this critical moment." Avis said, adding, "If the inspection truly doesn't reveal anything, I'll personally apologize to her."

Mu Zi frowned, seeming a little unhappy, but in the end she didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

"Ah."

Chapter 68: Are you planning to target even the Puppet Dessert?

"Huh? Mr. Akero, are you planning to resign?"

The next morning, Yuan Qi looked at Akro who was tidying up the documents on his desk in the office and couldn't help asking.

"No, I'm planning to take some time off." Akro shook his head. "I decided to live in a big city with my girlfriend for a month."

"This... is that so? Then what about our duel?" Yuan Qi said with a curl of his lips.

"It doesn't mean we have to duel," Akro chuckled. "What the principal said is that we need the twelve of us to recognize you. In other words, as long as we recognize you, we don't even need to duel."

"Is that so?" Yuan Qi asked with some doubt.

"Well, if the principal really asks, it's okay for me to answer that I lost." Akro chuckled.

"That's too perfunctory, isn't it?" Yuan Qi said helplessly, "You're not doing this just to thank me, are you?"

"How is that possible? This spot is the path to the Duel King." Akro shook his head and looked at Yuan Qidao with a serious face. "Through my interactions with you, I can see that you are an excellent duelist. Whether it's the strength of your deck, your understanding of decks, the depth of your card pool, or your dueling skills, they've all reached top levels. Even more valuable is that even with such a strong dueling skill, you manage to maintain a calm and composed personality and attitude."

"So, I think you're an excellent duelist, or rather, I think you're a very good person. It would be a shame if someone like you didn't compete for the Duel King title, right?" Akro patted Yuan Qi's shoulder, slung his black briefcase over his shoulder, and waved. "That's all. My girlfriend's waiting for me outside the school gate. See you in the second half of the year!"

Having said that, Akro opened the office door and left in a dashing manner.

"That's fine." Yuan Qi hesitated for a moment, then took out his list, circled Akro's name, and then began to scan the remaining names. "The next one should be..."

"Then according to the agreement, you can duel with me in the next round." A familiar voice sounded behind Yuan Qi.

Duelist Academy is not wealthy enough to provide each teacher with a separate office, so it is simply divided into three offices based on grade.

Coincidentally, Gu Liangxun and Akro were colleagues in the same office.

"I was originally planning to let that guy stop you, at least to find out some details, but I didn't expect him to run away like this, tsk." Gu Liangxun couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement.

"Is it really okay for you to say this in front of me and your colleagues?" Yuan Qi looked at Gu Liangxun who slowly stood up from the corner in shock, and said with some surprise.

"It doesn't matter. This is not the first time we've met. They already know what my personality is like." Gu Liangxun said lightly.

Sure enough, although the other teachers in the office looked over curiously, there was no surprise on their faces. Yuan Qi even saw Teacher Alice among them, waving her hands quietly at him.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble Teacher Gu Liangxun." Yuan Qi nodded.

"Don't worry, Akro is right. Whether it's deck strength, technique, or even mentality, you've already reached the top level. However, if you want to become the Duel King, this isn't enough," Gu Liangxun said softly. "You need to learn to be the 'challenged.'"

"The challenger?" Yuan Qi murmured.

"That's right. As a Duel King, you must be prepared to accept all kinds of challenges and countermeasures." Gu Liangxun said, gently pulling out the deck from his waist and shaking it. "So during this period of time, I specifically found some countermeasures based on your deck and put them in. Be mentally prepared."
