A duelist never gives up!

Yuan Qi looked at the deck in Gu Liangxun's hand and smiled: "Teacher Gu Liangxun, did you watch TV last night?"

Gu Liangxun frowned slightly: "I did see it."

"How about my puppet dessert?" Yuan Qi continued to ask.

"Not bad." Gu Liangxun nodded without hesitation. Ever since that agreement, she had been keeping an eye on Yuan Qi. So, after learning that Yuan Qi participated in the doubles match last night, she naturally did not miss it. "He's good at both killing and clearing the field, but his chain is a bit fragile."

Yuan Qi chuckled and said, "Then what do you think will happen if I duel you with a magic dessert?"

Gu Liangxun raised her eyebrows. She certainly knew what would happen.

If Yuan Qi uses Magic Dessert to duel with her, then the cards she prepared to target Zhu Lei cannot be said to be completely useless, but at least many of them will become useless and unusable.

"Changing decks is not allowed in the starting place." Gu Liangxun reminded.

"But this is not the duel in the starting place, and I'm not the duel king, right?" Yuan Qi asked back.

Gu Liangxun was silent for a moment, then the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "Interesting, you are more interesting than I thought."

As he spoke, Gu Liangxun took out the envelope he had prepared long ago and handed it to Yuan Qidao: "Next."

"What is this?" Yuan Qi asked puzzled.

"The challenge letter contains the time and location of our duel. I've already said that I'm the challenger," Gu Liangxun said briskly. "By the way, I'll prepare a counter-card against the puppet dessert before the duel."

"Guess what, will I choose to target the Puppet Dessert or the Pearl Tears?" Gu Liangxun said jokingly.

"You even target the Puppet Dessert?" The original seven people were dumbfounded. It wasn't for any other reason, but simply because the Puppet Dessert was actually of average strength, and no one would be so bored as to target it.

"Didn't you even defeat the Washing Dragon Lady?" Gu Liangxun asked back. "And if we're targeting the Puppet Dessert, we can just throw a lot of hand traps. These hand traps aren't completely useless against Pearl Tears either. From a safe perspective, I might choose to target the dessert."

"She has a point." Ai floated in mid-air, chin in hand as he pondered, "And don't forget, whether it's the Magic Puppet Dessert or the Pearl Tears, they have one thing in common."

"Eat graveyards," Ayi repeated. "Eat graveyards very much."

"For the third deck, don't let it have anything to do with the graveyard." Yuan Qi said softly after thinking for a moment.

At the same time, Yuan Qi also put the challenge letter into his pocket and nodded solemnly:

"Okay, I accept your challenge."

In an instant, Gu Liangxun's eyes became sharp: "Then, see you in the duel arena."

"See you at the duel."

Chapter 69: Don’t add any weird settings to me without my permission!

"Clap!"

In the dim activity room, a bright lamp was lit, dispelling the darkness in the entire activity room and filling it with warm light.

Sera resisted this.

"Have I told you that I like being in the dark?" Sera was wearing a light green shirt and white shorts, revealing her slender white legs that were pressed wantonly on the soft bed. She squinted her eyes and said with some discomfort.

"But if the room is too dim, it will be bad for the eyes, right?" Xuefeng tilted his head and turned on the air conditioner in the activity room.

By the way, the air conditioner and lights were installed by the academy free of charge. The academy even said that they would be allowed to move to a larger activity room - the huge activity room of the previous Red Lotus Society, which came with hot springs, training rooms, conference rooms, and lounges, has not been demolished yet. As long as Yuan Qi and the others are willing, they can go in and enjoy it at any time.

But Yuan Qi rejected it with the reason: "The space is too big, the distance is too far, and it will be troublesome to walk back and forth."

If there are only five of us, this somewhat cramped activity room is just right and there's no need to move to the Red Lotus Society's ruins.

And who knows, if you move there, you might even be envied by others.

"You don't understand how intoxicating the hazy feeling and sense of security you feel in the darkness is..." Sera said, sighing slightly and thinking to herself sadly, "Well, after all, I'm a Hero deck user now, so I should spend more time in the bright light."

"She's started again." Julie couldn't help but hold her forehead. At least three out of ten sentences Sera said recently were about "hero".

"Although I understand that you are excited about getting a new deck, there is no need to be so excited until now, right?" Yuan Qi said, holding his chin and looking at Sera.

"I can't understand." Nero expressed his attitude symbolically, then silently tore open a bag of potato chips and started his meal time.

For her, getting new cards wasn't something to get excited about.

"Okay, let's see what Teacher Gu Liangxun wrote in the challenge letter?" Xuefeng looked at Yuan Qi curiously and said with anticipation.

"A challenge letter... He's obviously a teacher, but he's challenging his students?" Julie couldn't help but murmur. What Teacher Gu Liangxun did was to admit that Yuan Qi was stronger than herself, and completely put herself in an inferior position. In a sense, it was also a very powerful move.

"I think he's afraid that if he uses the targeted card, people will talk about him behind his back, saying, 'You're the teacher, but you're targeting the students,' so he's pretending to be a challenger." Sera said disapprovingly. As she spoke, she stretched out her little hand, reached into the bag of potato chips in Nero's hand, gently picked up a potato chip and put it in her mouth.

"Click, click."

"Are you planning to come and watch the fight?" Yuan Qi was slightly taken aback and shook his head. "I think Teacher Gu Liangxun probably wouldn't like us watching her duel with me, right?"

"But... if Teacher Gu Liangxun didn't want to, why did she have to say it in the office?" Xuefeng tapped the smooth tabletop as she sat on Yuan Qi's desk and said in a soft voice, "It's spread. Teacher Gu Liangxun wants to challenge you. Now both of you have been targeted. Everyone is waiting to see when you will duel."

"But the office was full of teachers at the time." Yuan Qi was a little confused. "They wouldn't..."

"Maybe they wanted to see it, but were too embarrassed to ask you about the time and place, so they spread it to other students and made a big deal out of it. That way, they could find out the time and place of your duel just through the students," Julie guessed.

"Maybe there are several students squatting outside the door of our activity room right now." Sera said suddenly.

As soon as Sera finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on the door of the activity room. Xuefeng slowly stood up, walked to the door, and then...

"Snapped!"

Xuefeng suddenly opened the door and saw several figures looking at the door of their activity room not far away. It seemed that they noticed Xuefeng's gaze, and those guys ran away in panic.

"Everyone is really... idle." Yuan Qi scratched his hair and said helplessly.

"People with such fame always have a crowd watching them even when they take a sip of water," Sera teased. "And from what I hear, you have quite a few little fans. Thanks to them, I've made a small fortune."

"A small profit... How did you make a small profit?" Yuan Qi felt something was wrong and looked at Sera suspiciously.

"Selling your merchandise," Nero said. "The most basic ones are the same shirt and used pens. Then there are photos and loose cards you don't use. The most expensive one is the second button on your school uniform."

"The second button on my school uniform?" Yuan Qi lowered his head and found that his button was still intact, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, I wholesaled a box of the same buttons and sold them one by one." Sera waved her hand.

"There are so many buttons on the second one?" Yuan Qi pulled the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but complain.

"The explanation is: every time Yuan Qi found his second button missing, he would sew a new one on himself, so he has so many." Nero nodded and looked at Yuan Qi. "You are really clever and skillful."

"Don't add any weird settings to me without my permission." Yuan Qi held his forehead and said, "Never mind, let them watch if they want. I don't really mind."

"Then open the challenge letter quickly." Xuefeng came close to Yuan Qi and urged him.

"Okay, okay." Yuan Qi took out the challenge that Gu Liangxun handed him from his pocket, gently opened it, and poured out a piece of white paper with lines of beautiful penmanship written on it:

"Tomorrow afternoon at 5:20, in front of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon statue in the academy square."

"The statue of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon..." When Yuan Qi saw this, he subconsciously raised his head and happened to meet Xuefeng's gaze.

"It really is... a nostalgic place." Yuan Qi said slowly.

"Well, I didn't expect it to be this place." A smile appeared on Xuefeng's pretty face.

"What kind of riddle are you asking?" Sera frowned and looked at Yuan Qi and Xuefeng, a hint of vigilance flashed in her green eyes.

"Hehehe..." Xuefeng smiled embarrassedly and said nothing.

"I remembered some things from the past." Yuan Qi said with a slight smile on his face.

"Huh? So, what exactly is going on?" Sera said somewhat unhappily, "Tell me about it quickly."

"Let's talk about it when we have time." Xuefeng shook his head.

"Let's talk about it when we have time." Yuan Qi shrugged.

"Hey, the synchronization rate is so high, didn't you agree on it in advance?" Sera said with a puffy face.

Chapter 70: Why don’t you talk to me?

The next day, the news about Gu Liangxun challenging Yuan Qi spread throughout the academy like wildfire.

"My lord, there are a lot more sights today than usual." The Ghost Rabbit, who was guarding Yuan Qi as always, raised his head and reported to Yuan Qi.

"Don't worry, they don't mean any harm." Yuan Qi rubbed the cute little head of Ghost Rabbit, feeling the silky white hair, and said helplessly, "They just want to watch the game."

"Playing cards?" Phantom Rabbit's big eyes were full of confusion.

"Duel, duel." Yuan Qi quickly changed his words. After being in this world for so long, he still subconsciously referred to a duel as playing cards.

"Who does my lord want to duel with?" The Phantom Rabbit spends a lot of time in the cards and doesn't know the situation outside. Of course, it's not that Yuan Qi doesn't release the Phantom Rabbit. In fact, the Phantom Rabbit can come out of the cards on its own, but the Phantom Rabbit doesn't like to contact strangers, so it will only appear when Yuan Qi is alone.

"With...a teacher." Yuan Qi said, raising his head slightly, and happened to see Gu Liangxun walking towards him with a textbook in her hand.

Yuan Qi had some meaning in his words, but he didn't try to avoid it. He greeted Gu Liangxun openly, "Hello, Teacher Gu Liangxun."

"Well, good morning, classmate Yuan Qi. Seeing the direction you're going, are you finally planning to go to class today?" Gu Liangxun started to make fun of him as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Tsk, this guy started it again." Ai said unhappily.

"Hahahaha... I'm a student, of course I have to go to class." Yuan Qi said with a dry laugh.

After all, he was still enjoying the subsidy from the academy, although after winning the prize money for the competition, he no longer needed this subsidy.

"Then I hope you will keep up the good work in the future." Gu Liangxun said indifferently.

"Uh-huh."

Yuan Qi nodded perfunctorily. Just as he was about to walk past Gu Liangxun, Gu Liangxun suddenly said, "Have you read the challenge letter?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding students stopped in their tracks. Although their faces showed no emotion, they all pricked up their ears, afraid of missing a single word.

"Yeah, I saw it," Yuan Qi said, "I chose a time right after school on purpose."

"I don't want to stay up late, nor do I want to delay your studies, so I have to choose this time period." Gu Liangxun said as a matter of course.

After school?

Is it after school today?

The students around us looked at each other, and found that each other's eyes were filled with unconcealable joy.

Location, location?!

"Well, see you then."

"see you then."

After that, the two began to part ways. After all, Yuan Qi was a first-grade student, and Gu Liangxun was a second-grade teacher, and their directions were different.

"Teacher Gu Liangxun, please wait a moment!"

At this moment, someone couldn't help but speak.

"Hmm?" Gu Liangxun tilted her head slightly, a cold light flashing in her clear eyes, "What's the matter?"

"That...that is..." The student who finally mustered up the courage to stand up looked at Gu Liangxun's imposing appearance, couldn't help swallowing and stuttering.

"If you have something to say, tell me quickly." Gu Liangxun said coldly.

"Excuse me, is it true that you challenged classmate Yuan Qi?" After the student said this, he bent his waist, supported his knees with both hands, and forced himself to stay where he was.

I can't run away. Even though I asked such a rude question, I can't run away!

It's too lame to run away after asking!

However, faced with this question, Gu Liangxun answered very straightforwardly: "Yes, that's right."

As a result, the students were suddenly in an uproar. Although they had known about this matter for a long time, it was just a rumor after all. Rumors and Gu Liangxun's personal admission had different meanings.

"But... you are a teacher. For a teacher to challenge a student, isn't this a bit..." the student couldn't help but continue.

Even if you really think that the other person is stronger than you, you shouldn't show weakness!

"What? You don't still think that this guy in front of you is just an ordinary student of the Duelist Academy like you?" Gu Liangxun rolled his eyes and pulled Yuan Qidao who was trying to sneak away.

"Of course Yuan Qi is different from us," the student said weakly, "He is much better than us."

"It's not that he's much stronger, it's that he's completely on a different level," Gu Liangxun said bluntly. "Any achievement he's made, even that initial one, 'using Oxygen Summoning,' is something many of you will never achieve in your lifetime."

"Just because he's the same age as you, wears the same uniform, eats the same food, and sleeps in the same dorm, don't think, 'Even though Hara Nana-san is strong, he's still a student like us,'" Gu Liangxun said, narrowing her eyes. "You should treat him as a Duelist, a once-in-a-millennium Duelist who discovered a new summoning method, defeated the leader of an evil organization, saved the capital, and perhaps even the world!"

"Hara Nana is a duelist first and a student second."

"I think I am a human being first." Yuan Qi complained in his heart.

"From now on, when you meet a duelist, don't worry about their appearance. Put their identity as a duelist first," Gu Liangxun said solemnly. "And as a duelist, Yuan Qi's strength is undoubtedly superior to mine. It's only natural for me to challenge him."

"Yes... yes, I understand!" The student nodded, then quickly asked, "Then can you tell me where you dueled? We want to learn too."
