A duelist never gives up!

"duel!"

"duel!"

"drop!"

A crisp sound rang out from Gu Liangxun's duel disk. Gu Liangxun's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice, "I choose to take the initiative!"

As she spoke, she used her slender fingers to draw five cards from the deck.

"It's troublesome."

Julie, who was standing in the crowd watching the game, couldn't help but frown and said, "I heard that Teacher Gu Liangxun's deck has a lot of red pits. If she gets the initiative, it will be very disadvantageous to Yuan Qi."

"Are you a red pit player like I used to be?" Sera couldn't help but ask curiously, "What deck does Gu Liangxun use?"

"You'll know for yourself when you see it." Julie pointed at Gu Liangxun on the field and said, "She's about to start."

As soon as Julie finished speaking, Gu Liangxun looked at the cards in her hand and smiled lightly, saying lightly: "It seems that I am lucky. Not only did I get the first move, but I also drew this card that I prepared for you."

"A card specially prepared for me?" Yuan Qi raised his eyebrows, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

"Yes, a card specially prepared for you." Gu Liangxun repeated it word by word, "I enter the main phase and activate the effect of the Dimension Attractor in my hand!"

"If there are no cards in your Graveyard, you can activate this effect by sending this card from your hand to the Graveyard. Until the end of your next turn, the card sent to the Graveyard is banished without going back to the Graveyard!"

"what?!"

As soon as this card came out, it immediately caused a huge wave!

"Wait! Hara Nana-san's Pearl Tears only work when placed in a graveyard, right?!"

"Wouldn't that mean... a round couldn't even begin?!"

"Isn't that too targeted?!"

Compared to the other students' surprise, Xuefeng and the others were...

"Wow... so powerful," Xuefeng exclaimed in shock. "If this effect is activated during your turn, Hara Nana-kun won't even be able to use the Designator of the Grave. In other words, there's no way to stop it!"

"If you miss one round, it's almost the same as defeat in a high-level duel, right?" Julie couldn't help but frown, worrying about Yuan Qi.

"Tsk, this woman really dares to do this..." Sera also realized the seriousness of the problem, and her face became tense.

"This is a duel at the level of professional duelists." Nero looked calm. She had seen duels of this level thousands of times.

"...So you're heading for the cemetery right from the start?" Yuan Qi glanced at the cards in his hand and his face turned ugly.

"It's not over yet." Gu Liangxun said, pulling out another card from his hand and inserting it into the Duel Board, "I activate the Magic Card - Planet Transformation, and add the Field Magic Card - Light Stage of the Naughty Fairy Star to my hand!"

That’s right, the Naughty Fairy Star, which is famous for its small axis and blood burning, is Gu Liangxun’s deck!

This is also the reason why Yuan Qi did not play many counter-cards after knowing Gu Liangxun's deck, except for slightly adjusting the construction.

Because the axis of the Naughty Fairy Star is too small, Yuan Qi is not surprised no matter what axis Gu Liangxun matches. Yuan Qi even thinks that there will be a situation where Gu Liangxun may not draw the Naughty Fairy Star's main card until the end of the duel.

However, now that the venue has been retrieved, the system called Naughty Fairy Star can be officially launched!

Gu Liangxun activated the venue without hesitation and said, "I activate the venue magic card - Naughty Fairy Star's Light Stage!"

As soon as Gu Liangxun finished the topic, the dusk scene around Yuan Qi turned into a gorgeous stage like a slice of a movie!

Under the strong spotlight, Gu Liangxun looked like a young girl. Her usual gloomy look was gone, and she became lively and youthful!

"I activate the effect of Trickster's Light Stage. As the effect of activating this card, you can add 1 Trickster monster from your deck to your hand. I add Trickster Candina from your deck to your hand!" Gu Liangxun shouted.

"Next, I Normal Summon Trickstar Candina!"

With a bright flash of light, an orange-haired girl wearing an orange dress and holding a small trumpet in her right hand appeared on the stage with a big smile on her face. She waved enthusiastically to others with her left hand wearing a white glove.

"I activate the effect of Trickster Candina," Tani Ryouxun continued. "This card can only be activated when it is successfully summoned. Add one Trickster Candina card from your deck to your hand!"

"I'm adding the Trap Card - Carnation Reincarnation of Trickster Star from my deck to my hand!"

Chapter 73: Just look, don’t pull my arm!

After adding the Carnation Reincarnation Technique of the Naughty Fairy Star to his hand, Gu Liangxun did not stop his movements. Instead, he inserted a magic card from his hand into the Duel Board and said, "I activate the Pot of Greed and Desire!"

"You can activate this by banishing 10 cards from the top of your deck face-down. Draw 2 cards from your deck!!!"

The Pot of Greed inlaid with gold and diamonds appeared in front of Gu Liangxun, greedily swallowing the cards in the deck into it, and then spit out two cards from the other side.

"Consuming the deck in exchange for resources?!"

The students watching couldn't help but wonder, "Teacher Gu Liangxun, isn't she afraid of having her key cards banished by doing this?"

"Of course she's not afraid." Ai floated in mid-air, her slender eyebrows slightly furrowed, her rosy lips slightly opening and closing as she spoke, "The Trickster Star only needs to act as a slender main axis to maintain its operation, and then use the other scattered cards drawn to fill its bones and flesh. Excluding ten cards won't have a significant impact on the Trickster Star."

"I know about this kind of thing." Yuan Qi coughed twice. After all, Trickster was once a competitive deck. As an OCG competitive player in his previous life, Yuan Qi had duelled with many Trickster players, so he naturally knew the characteristics of this deck.

"I'll say it again, lest you forget." Ai put his hands on his hips, his blue eyes reflecting Yuan Qi's handsome profile. "After all, it's been a while since you played against this deck, right?"

Ai was right. They didn't know when Naughty Star withdrew from the competitive stage. Yuan Qi remembered that the last time he played cards with Naughty Star was two years ago. However, in this world, Naughty Star was a deck that had just appeared not long ago. It could only be said that the environment in this world was indeed a few beats slower than in the previous life.

But the reason why Trickster was out of the meta is simply because more powerful decks impacted the meta, which does not mean that Trickster is weak.

On the contrary, Trickster is a deck that has won championships in global competitions! This alone is enough to show how powerful this deck is!

Although that build is obviously a newspaper deck.

"I activate the effect of Manjushri, the Trickster!" Gu Liangxun added two cards to her hand, then revealed another card. "Show this card to your opponent. Then, I target Candina, the Trickster on the field, and Special Summon this card. Candina returns to my hand!"

The black-haired girl in a red dress danced on the stage like a butterfly, holding a golden sword, while the blonde girl next to her put down the trumpet, stopped singing, and returned it to Gu Liangxun's hands.

"Next, I cover four cards and the turn ends!" Gu Liangxun inserted all the cards in his hand except the Naughty Fairy Star Candina into the duel disk, and ended the turn.

"Good news, Gu Liangxun doesn't have a hand pit on his hand." Ai touched Yuan Qi's head and comforted him, "At least we don't have to worry about eating things like Hui Liuli."

"Bad news, there are four Red Pit cards on Gu Liangxun's field." Yuan Qi said expressionlessly, "I don't think six cards can overcome four Red Pit cards, even though the damage of one Red Pit isn't particularly great."

"Not only is the damage not particularly significant, it might even help us draw some goodies." Ai chuckled. "Well, without further ado, it's time for us to get going!"

Yuan Qi nodded, stretched out his hand and suddenly pulled a card from the deck, saying, "My turn, draw a card!"

"brush!"

As the card was drawn from the deck, a sharp sound of breaking through the air rang out in the air. At this moment, Gu Liangxun, who was standing opposite Yuan Qi, slowly stretched out his hand and said:

"Because you drew a card, I activated the effect of Manjushri, the Mischievous Fairy Star." Gu Liangxun said calmly, "As long as this card is in the Monster Zone, every time your opponent adds a card to their hand, I'll deal 200 damage to them equal to the number of cards added."

"Also, due to Trickstar's Light Stage effect, each time a Trickstar monster on your side of the field inflicts damage to your opponent by a battle effect, inflict 200 damage to your opponent."

"In this way, you will suffer 400lp of damage!"

Original seven lp: 8000→7600!

"You've already dealt effective damage to Hara Nana-san before you even started attacking?"

"It's only 400 LP of damage. It's just a drop in the bucket for 8000 LP."

"It's not as simple as just sprinkling water," Julie said solemnly. "These two effects are permanent. 8000 divided by 400, that's only 20 times, and that doesn't even include the damage from the attacks that Teacher Gu Liangxun will inflict."

"It's okay." Xuefeng said with a smile, "If Hara Qi-san says so, it's definitely okay."

"Hey, you really do believe him." Sera said suddenly, "Haven't you heard the saying 'No duelist can win forever'?"

"I've heard of that, but..." Xuefeng said with her big eyes flashing, "In my eyes, Hara Nana-san will never lose."

"Hahaha..." Sera raised her eyebrows and didn't say anything, but she became alert in her heart.

Although Xuefeng looks naive, he is surprisingly difficult to deal with.

Just as Sera was testing Xuefeng, Yuan Qi on the field also began his own development.

"I enter the main phase!" Yuan Qi inserted a card into the duel board without hesitation, "Activate the Field Spell Card - One Life of Destruction - Pearl World!"

The crystal clear sea water slowly emerged from the stage, and a tall crystal tree appeared behind Yuan Qi!

"Hara Nana-san and Teacher Tani Ryouxun are the first to use Field Magic Cards to search for monsters?"

"Why can their Field Spell Cards retrieve monsters, but mine can only increase attack..."

"You have to know that there are differences between decks."

"..."

"I activate the effect of Pearl World and add Renohart of the Pearl Tear Elegy Tribe from the deck to my hand!" Yuan Qi said as he added Renohart from the deck to his hand.

“This is the moment!”

Gu Liangxun's pupils shrank suddenly, and he flipped open his own cover card and said, "I activate the trap card - Naughty Fairy Star's Carnation Reincarnation Technique!"

"Ban all cards in your hand, and you draw that many cards from your deck!"

Roses flying all over the sky rushed towards Yuan Qi. In addition to bringing Yuan Qi a refreshing floral fragrance, they also swept away Yuan Qi's six cards and replaced them with six new cards.

"I got it!" Ai's eyes lit up and she shouted excitedly, "She actually helped us filter the samples for free! She's so kind! Let me see what you got!"

"Just look, don't pull my arm!"

Chapter 74: Come on, continue to unfold.

As a professional duelist, Gu Liangxun certainly wouldn't help Yuan Qili draw for free.

Ayi's so-called "got cheated."

This is just Ai's perspective.

In fact, from Gu Liangxun's perspective, she had no way of knowing whether Yuan Qi's cards were good or bad. She could only choose to activate the Carnation Reincarnation Technique after Yuan Qi's search to ensure that Yuan Qi's search failed.

Therefore, it was not that Yuan Qi tricked Gu Liangxun into using the filter, but that Gu Liangxun had to choose to activate the trap card at this point.

What? You're saying you can judge the quality of Yuan Qi's hand by his facial expression?

Yuan Qi is not a novice, so how could he possibly have his thoughts written on his face? Even if they were written on his face, Gu Liangxun would not believe it.

"Because you drew six more cards, you will take 1400 LP of damage!"

Original seven lp:7600→6200.

"Although Pearl Tears can't be fused through lower-level effects due to the effects of Dimension Attractor, there are still ways to deploy it." Yuan Qi said as he inserted a card in his hand into the Duel Board, "I activate the magic card - Simple Fusion!"

"Pay 1000 Life Points to activate. Special Summon 1 Level 5 or lower Fusion Monster from the Extra Deck as a Fusion Summon. Monsters Special Summoned by this effect cannot attack and are destroyed during the End Phase." Hara Nana said, drawing a card from his deck and slapping it on the Duel Board. "I Special Summon from the Extra Deck—Narcissus Mermaid of the Pearl Tearful Lament Tribe!"

A merman with skin as delicate as pearls and long, flowing hair as blue as the sea appeared in front of Yuan Qi, holding a sword inlaid with glass.

Original seven lp: 6200→5200.

"I activate the effect of the Narcissus Mermaid..."

"chain!"

Gu Liangxun once again opened her face card and said, "I activate the trap card - Infinite Bubble!"

"Neglect the effect of your Narcissus Mermaid!"

The blue lightning struck the merman's soft body with lightning speed, leaving numerous scars on its bright and colorful armor.

"Come on, come on, there are still two trap cards!" Ai waved his hands to encourage Yuan Qi.

"Thank you so much." Yuan Qi sighed, slapped the card array in his hand on the Duel Board, and said, "I Normal Summon - Pearl Tear Singer, Renohart!"

A long-haired man holding a blue whip appeared in front of Yuan Qi, but because of the dimensional attractor, Yuan Qi did not activate his effect.

Gu Liangxun naturally did not activate his own cover card. He looked at Yuan Qi calmly and said, "You continue."

"Then I activate the effect of my Tearful Lament-Tribe Siren Mermaid to Special Summon this card from my hand, and then send the Effect-Based Masker in my hand to the Graveyard (Banner Zone)!"

As soon as Yuan Qi finished speaking, the Siren mermaid holding a long sword gently landed on the stage. Her long legs looked as white as snow under the dazzling lights.

"There are two four-star monsters... I see. Is that your goal?" Gu Liangxun saw through Yuan Qi's strategy at a glance, her lips curled slightly as she spoke. "Come to think of it, when you first started to make a name for yourself in the academy, it seemed like you relied on 'X-Force Summoning'."

"At that time, duelists who could master Xyz Summoning were rare. I didn't expect that after a month or two, Xyz Summoning would become a thing of the past." Gu Liangxun couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the culprit.

"Ah, that's right." Yuan Qida admitted openly, "Since Fusion Summoning is impossible, then the only option is to use Xyz Summoning!"

"I stack the Renorhat and Siren Mermaid on the field!"

"A massive network of two monsters!"

"Super Summon!"

"Lihuishi enters the Lord of the Flies!!!"
