A duelist never gives up!

"It's my turn, draw a card." Yuan Qi stretched out his hand and drew a card from the deck.

"During your draw phase, I'll chain activate the effect of Lurker of the Abyss," Lisha whispered. "Remove one Xyz material. This turn, you can't activate the effects of cards in your graveyard."

"What??"

Xuefeng realized it later and showed a look of surprise: "In this case, Yuan Qi's deck is..."

"No effect can be produced in one round." Sera also realized the seriousness of the problem and couldn't help but clench her little pink fists.

"This is going to be a big problem."

An old voice also sounded out of nowhere.

"Who?!" Sera turned around suddenly and saw an old man wearing a hat and sunglasses walking towards them with his hands behind his back, looking interested.

"Dean, why are you here?" Lixia recognized the old man's identity at a glance and said with a smile.

The dean took off his glasses and hat, wiped the sweat from his cheeks and said, "I don't want to go out either. It's too hot."

"It's just that after hearing that our classmate Yuan Qi was in the penultimate duel, I couldn't wait to come here." The dean said, looking at Yuan Qi in the duel with a meaningful smile, "I think you should already know who your final opponent is, right?"

"Yes, I knew that a long time ago." Yuan Qi nodded and said, "Dean, do you think this is scouting the enemy?"

"Although it's a little late, I still came to check in case you got any strange new cards." The dean said with a smile, "But looking at the current situation, it seems that I was worrying too much?"

"Aqi will win." Ai said suddenly.

The dean subconsciously looked towards Ai, following the voice, and asked with some confusion: "Is this... a new member of your club?"

"This is Yuan Qi's distant cousin Ai." Xuefeng stretched out his hand and explained.

"Oh, oh, have you considered coming to our college?" When the dean heard that it was Yuan Qi's cousin, his eyes suddenly lit up and he began to recruit her.

After all, Yuan Qi is so strong. As a relative of Yuan Qi, we can’t be too bad, right?

However, the girl in front of him was just like Yuan Qi, and for some reason, he couldn't sense her duel power.

Maybe he is wearing a related secret treasure.

"No, I don't plan to go to school." Ai declined.

"Hey, going to school is really interesting. Why don't you come to our college and stay for a while..."

Just as the dean was trying to convince Ai to join the Duelist Academy, Hara Nana made a move.

"I enter the main phase." Yuan Qi inserted a card in his hand into the duel board, and I activated the magic card - One Life Bad - Pearl World.

"Add the Siren Mermaid, a member of the Pearl Tear Song Tribe, from your deck to your hand."

"Next, I activate the Spell Card—Simple Fusion," Yuan Qi continued. "Pay 1000 LP to activate, and Fusion Summon the Extra Deck—Pearl Tear Lament Tribe, Narcissus Mermaid!"

The water fairy with long blue hair once again appeared in front of Yuan Qi with a sharp blade in her hand.

"By the way, even if we can't use the cemetery fusion, we can still use the suggestion fusion to bypass it!" Xuefeng lightly hammered his palm and couldn't help but say with joy.

"But monsters summoned by Simple Fusion can't attack," Ai reminded. "They can only activate their effects."

If only I could know what cards Ah Qi has.

Although I can't help much, it's better than standing here and worrying.

Just as Ai finished speaking, Yuan Qi activated the effect of Narcissus Mermaid: "I activate the effect of Narcissus Mermaid and add the card "Lament of a Lifetime of Evil" from the deck to my hand."

"Next, I activate the effect of Narcissus Mermaid, sending this card on the field to the Graveyard and Special Summoning the Pearl Tear Elegy Tribe Renohart from my hand." Hara Shichi continued.

The narcissus mermaid who had just appeared on the stage was sent to the cemetery, and the man holding the long whip appeared again.

"Then, I activate the effect of Siren Mermaid, special summoning this card from my hand, sending a monster from my hand to the graveyard, and after that, sending three cards from the top of my deck to the graveyard." Yuan Qi slapped the Siren Mermaid in his hand on the duel disk, and at the same time glanced at the three cards sent to the graveyard. When he saw that they were Infinite Bubble, Cosmic Cyclone, and Gray Flow, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, the silver-haired girl with a pair of rose-like eyes pursed her lips slightly and appeared on the duel field with a long sword in her hand.

"Want to get two four-star monsters?" Lixia chuckled and said, "I won't let you succeed just like that."

"I activate the effect of the No. 4 Venomous Sting Cell Invisible Jellyfish on the field to destroy the Siren Mermaid on your field, dealing 1150 LP damage to you!"

As soon as Lixia finished speaking, the jellyfish on her field sent out sharp poisonous stings, piercing the Siren mermaid's fragile body one by one and sending it to the grave.

Original seven lp: 7000→5850.

"The highest attack on Yuan Qi's field right now is Little Mermaid, with 2100, but Abyssal Lurker's attack is 2200. Even if Yuan Qi uses Lament of a Last Eternal Evil to negate Abyssal Lurker, Abyssal Lurker can still chain activate at two speeds and directly destroy the monsters Yuan Qi has on the field with its attacks." Sera surveyed the situation, resting her chin on her hand as she began to analyze, "This situation is very unfavorable."

"No, there is still a chance." Ai shook her head. As someone who built a deck together with Yuan Qi, she certainly knew what cards were in Yuan Qi's deck, and these cards contained combos that could deal with this situation!

"Yuan Qi hasn't used Normal Summon this turn." Ai said in a deep voice.

At this moment, Yuan Qi once again inserted a card into the duel disk and shouted:

"I activate the magic card - Three Wars Talent!"

"During your Main Phase this turn, if your opponent activates a monster effect, you can choose 1 of the following effects to activate!"

Draw 2 cards from your deck.

●Choose 1 monster on your opponent's side of the field and gain control until the End Phase.

●Check your opponent's hand and select 1 card from it and return it to your deck.

"I choose to draw two cards from the deck!!!"

Chapter 85: Phenomenon within the Yu-Gi-Oh circle.

There is a very interesting phenomenon in the Yu-Gi-Oh circle.

That is, when a deck series is just released, all kinds of tricks will appear. You can see all kinds of weird and wonderful constructions created by players relying on their magical imagination and divergent thinking, but after a period of time, these constructions will soon disappear and can no longer be found.

Because card players are very cold and heartless creatures.

When they find that other structures are more reasonable, they will abandon their current structures without hesitation to learn, optimize and improve.

As a result, the once flourishing archetypes, through deck research and optimization, eventually dwindled to just two or three, or even just one. This led many newcomers to lament, "Aren't you all just using the same archetype? Isn't that boring? What's the point of playing against each other with the same deck?"

As a seasoned card player, Yuan Qi would shake his head and calmly tell the newbie, "How are they the same? Just because the general idea is the same, it means they're the same? That's too naive, isn't it?"

“Sometimes the modification of one card will affect the style of the entire deck.”

"For example, should I bring Shadow Dragon or Shadow Beast with the Branded Pearl Tear? Is the Pearl Tear Lament Clan's Merlot Mermaid a lowly person? Should I bring my family to fight back?"

"Another example... Is Albus the next one or the next two?"

These subtle differences represent each player's understanding of the deck and highlight the style of each deck, whether it is steady or aggressive, flexible or simple, whether it is more inclined to kill after the opponent or to set up the field first.

As a steady player, Yuan Qi played level 2 on Albus to prevent him from being thrown into the graveyard by the mermaids.

"So... since my Albus played two, it's normal to play one." Yuan Qi looked at the two cards he drew, smiled lightly, and then slammed one of them on the duel disk:

"I usually summon Albus's Fallen!"

As soon as Yuan Qi finished speaking, the white-haired and black-skinned Albus appeared on the duel field. Although Albus was still a teenager, his hard abdominal muscles and tough eyes showed that he was a qualified warrior.

"I activate the effect of Albus's Fallen!" Hara Shichida shouted. "If this card is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned successfully, discard 1 card from your hand to activate this effect. Send the Fusion Material Monsters, including this card, from your and your opponent's fields to the Graveyard, and Fusion Summon that Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck!"

"I choose the No. 4 Venomous Sting Cell Invisible Jellyfish monster on your field as my target!"

"Awaken from your slumber, phantom dragon! Use your icy sword to pierce your enemies!"

"Fusion Summon!"

"Ice Sword Dragon Phantom Ice Dragon!!!"

"Boom!!!"

White ice covered the ground of the duel arena. An ice sword dragon covered in ice crystals landed in front of Yuan Qi from mid-air, making a loud ice-breaking sound.

"Beautiful!" Ai couldn't help but curl his lips in excitement at the sight. "When the No. 4 Venomous Sting Cell Invisible Jellyfish is destroyed, it will have a last word effect. In this case, using Albus to send it to the graveyard is undoubtedly the right choice!"

"Wow, it seems that Miss Ai knows a lot about dueling. Since you are so interested in dueling, don't you consider coming to our Duelist Academy?" The dean on the side brought up the topic again.

After all, no matter how strong Yuan Qi is, he only has two years left in the academy. And considering that Julie and Sera are already sophomores, it means that only next year can keep this year's team continuing to participate in the National College Competition. The year after that, they will have to find new candidates.

"No, I have no plans to go to school for the time being." Ai's face fell, and he silently moved two steps to the left, further away from the dean.

"That's great, the situation has been reversed!" Xuefeng couldn't help but feel happy for Yuan Qi when he saw this scene.

"It's hard to say." Sera shook her head and poured a bucket of cold water on him. "Teacher Lixia still has two cover cards in her backcourt that haven't been activated yet."

Sera was right. In fact, Yuan Qi had been on guard against the two covered cards on Lixia's field. However, it was useless to be on guard all the time. Traps were something that had to be stepped on!

"I'm entering the battle phase!" Yuan Qida said with a wave of his hand, "Use the Ice Sword Dragon to attack the Lurker of the Abyss on your field!"

The huge ice dragon let out a deafening roar and rushed towards the sea dragon on Lixia's field.

"Chain." Facing the aggressive Ice Sword Dragon, Lixia simply stretched out her slender fingers and gently flipped open the face-up card on her field. "I activate the Trap Card - Ice Barrier!"

"You can only activate this effect when your opponent's monster declares an attack. The opponent's monster's ATK becomes 0, its display cannot be changed, and its effect is negated!"

A huge beam of ice descended from the sky, striking the Ice Sword Dragon. Seeing this, Yuan Qi quickly shouted, "I'm chain-activating the Ice Sword Dragon's effects!"

"Send Abyssal Dragon, White World Reborn Dragon, from the Extra Deck to the Graveyard and banish Abyssal Lurker on your field!"

The huge ice beam froze the Ice Sword Dragon in place, but the Ice Sword Dragon also shot out the ice sword on its body in advance, piercing the body of the Lurker in the Abyss and sending it to the exclusion zone.

"Then I will continue to use the Little Mermaid and Renohart to attack you directly!" Yuan Qi continued. Although the Ice Sword Dragon was basically destroyed, Albus's one-for-two exchange had already met Yuan Qi's psychological expectations.

Lixia lp: 8000→3900.

"I cover a card, and that's the end of the turn."

Yuan Qi covered the field with the mournful song of Yishihuai that he had just retrieved.

"Well then, my turn... draw a card."

Even though all the monsters on her field were dealt with and she had no cards in her hand, Lisha still had a faint smile on her face and calmly drew a card from her deck.

"brush."

Lisha first added the card to her left hand, then reached into the graveyard with her right hand and said, "I activate the effect of the Graveyard Ice Barrier, banishing this card, sending a Crystal Shark from the deck to the graveyard, and then returning the Slicer Shark from the graveyard to my hand."

Lisha took the Cutting Shark from the graveyard back into her hand, then slapped it directly onto the Duel Disk and said:

"Then, I Normal Summon Slicer Shark!"

"Activate Slicer Shark's effect! Target myself and Special Summon a 4-level Fish-Type monster from your Deck!"

"chain!"

Yuan Qi also opened his own face-up card and said, "I activate the Trap Card - The Lament of a Life of Destruction."

"Neglect the Cutting Shark on your field, then send the Little Mermaid on the field to the Graveyard!"

Chapter 86: I’ll give you something good.

The Shark deck has one drawback.

That is, although there are many special recruitment points, the prerequisites for those points are basically...

Under the premise that "there is a water attribute monster on your field".

In other words, as long as the original seven reasons are integrated with the effects of the Little Mermaid, and then the field effect is triggered to destroy the summon, it will be useless even if Lixia has additional points in her hand!

However, although Yuan Qi's idea was good, the facts were another matter.

"chain."

Lisha gently opened her last face-down card, "Designator of the Grave, banish the Little Mermaid in your Graveyard. Until the end of your next turn, the effects of monsters banished by this effect and monsters with the same card name as that monster are negated!"

The little mermaid who was in the cemetery and was about to take effect was hooked out by the huge green finger, and with a light flick, she was thrown into the exclusion zone.

"Failed?" Yuan Qi gently stroked his hand card and murmured softly.

Although the Little Mermaid failed, he still had a "sure kill" card hidden in his hand!

"I activate the effect of Abyssal Shark in my hand," Lisha said, revealing a card in her hand. "This can only be activated if the monsters you control are Water-attribute monsters. Special Summon this card in your hand and add one Level 1-3 Fish-Type monster from your Deck to your hand, other than Abyssal Shark."

"I added Silent Anglerfish from my deck to my hand."

The Abyssal Shark, covered in blue armor, swayed its body and appeared in front of Lisha, adding the Silent Anglerfish to Lisha's hand cards.

"Then, I activate the effect of Silent Anglerfish," Lisha said, displaying the Silent Anglerfish she had just retrieved. "If you have a Water monster on your field, you can Special Summon this card from your hand."
