A duelist never gives up!

Chapter 4: It’s broken, is it just a showpiece?

As Yuan Qi and Shana walked into the villa, an old man with white hair and wearing a tuxedo who claimed to be the butler appeared in front of them.

"The young lady is swimming in the swimming pool on the rooftop. Please follow me." The butler said, opening the door of the villa and leading the two people up the white stairs.

Yuan Qi followed behind the butler, looking curiously at the oil paintings hanging on the villa's walls and the burgundy carpet under his feet. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Is this the setting for the villa? This is the first time I've seen it in person."

"First time? Don't children of dueling families like you always live in ancient villas?" Shana asked with some confusion.

"Is that so? I'm not from a dueling family, so I'm not sure. I'd better ask Nero some other day." Yuan Qi looked at the cherry blossoms on the mural and answered casually.

"Oh...ah? You're not from a dueling family?" Shana's body stiffened, and she said in disbelief.

"Well, I'm not. The shielding detection item was given to me by someone else." Yuan Qi pinched his neck, stretched, and after doing some simple preparations, he gently patted Shana's shoulder and said:

"But don't worry, I'm very strong."

At this moment, the butler stopped and said to the two people behind him: "The young lady is behind this door."

As he spoke, the housekeeper pushed open the door. Some dazzling sunlight shone in from outside, causing Yuan Qi to subconsciously block it with his hands. At this moment, the cold female voice from before rang out again.

"I don't recall inviting a man in recently. Who are you?"

Yuan Qi put down his arms and saw a blonde woman in her twenties wearing a white swimsuit sitting on a wooden chair beside the swimming pool. From her wet hair and the white towel around her neck, it could be seen that she had just come out of the swimming pool.

If nothing unexpected happens, this woman is the Joanna that Shana mentioned.

"Answer my question." Joanna narrowed her eyes and looked at Yuan Qidao with a bad expression.

"This is my friend. He is here to duel with you today!" Seeing this, Shana quickly protected Yuan Qi and said.

"Friends? Duel?" Joanna slowly stood up from her chair, revealing her slender waist and good figure. She approached Shana step by step and said, "I remember I agreed to a duel with you, right? Do you want to break it?"

"No, the terms of the duel remain the same, he will just fight on my behalf," Shana said, stretching out her left arm. "I recently injured my left arm, so I can't duel."

Yuan Qi looked at the asphalt that had appeared on Shana's arm at some unknown time, curled his lips, and did not poke it.

"Oh, so that's it." Joanna glanced at it casually, not bothering to verify its authenticity. She handed the towel around her neck to the housekeeper and stepped back a few steps. "In that case, let's get started."

"Anyway, even if you change someone, the result won't change."

As she spoke, Joanna raised her arm, and a cyan duel disk appeared on her arm.

Shana breathed a sigh of relief, took out a deck from her waist, and handed it to Yuan Qi carefully, saying, "This is for you."

"This is……?"

"My father's dinosaur deck. If you use it, you'll definitely win!" Shana paused as if she had thought of something. "Even if you lose, it's my dinosaur deck you'll lose. You won't suffer any loss. And I'll take you to the Duelist League headquarters later, so please!"

The first sentence was "My father's dinosaur deck", but the second sentence became "My dinosaur deck".

Yuan Qi looked at the filial daughter in front of him, took the deck and took a look at it.

Well, the hybrid dinosaurs, the giant Spinosaurus, the Microceratops, the ultimate conductive Deinonychus... it has everything you need, and the strength is indeed good.

but……

"No need." Yuan Qi returned the deck to Shana.

Shana's eyes dimmed, but she didn't blame Yuan Qi for going back on his word. She just whispered, "Okay... okay..."

"Don't think too much, I just want to try out my new deck." Yuan Qi said, taking out his Wind Traveling Bird.

"Eh? Is that so?" Shana's face lit up again, but soon she revealed a worried expression. "But Joanna is very strong, and her duel level is also very high. Are you really not going to use the dinosaur deck?"

"Very strong?" Yuan Qi looked at Joanna curiously and asked, "What's her duel level?"

The duel level is linked to the duelist's personal talent and number of victories. Generally speaking, the higher the duel level, the more talented the person is, or the more likely they are to have won many duels.

Although it cannot be directly said that this duelist is strong, it can be said that there is a certain correlation.

"The maximum level set for this instrument is 100, and Joanna's level is..." Shana said, pointing the pointer of the watch at Joanna, and then three numbers appeared on the watch - 047.

"Tsk." Ai sneered at this, "Qi, you asked her to point the needle at you."

"Try aiming at me." Yuan Qi took off the bracelet and said.

“哦。”莎娜把指针对向了原七，紧接着表盘上的数字开始不断的跳动：47、42、26、11、7、3、0、3、0……

"..."

For a moment, Shana's face turned pale.

It turns out that the person in front of me is just a show-off? !

Yuan Qi's face also froze, and he looked at Ai unhappily: Do you want to embarrass me on purpose?

"Ahem, don't be impatient. I haven't used my full strength yet." Ai coughed twice awkwardly, then gently extended his index finger and began to reveal part of his duel power.

于是，原本一直在0~3不断跳动的数字顿时如同坐上火箭一般开始飙升：3、29、57……99、100、超过最高值！超过最高值！超过最高值！

"Exceed... exceed the maximum value?!" Shana looked at Yuan Qi in shock. If this watch was not produced in the Royal Capital Research Institute and had not been tested on countless duelists, she would have suspected that the watch was broken.

"Hehe, that's good to know." Ai raised his chin proudly and said, "I'm the God of Duel. How can human instruments detect my limit?"

"Anyway, can we rest assured now?" Yuan Qi said to Shana.

"Don't worry! Don't worry! Don't worry!" Shana nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice. She wanted to just collapse and prostrate herself before the big boss Yuan Qi. "I'll leave everything to you! Big boss! No! Giant boss!!!"

While Yuan Qi and Shana were talking, Joanna, who had been holding the duel disk for a long time, finally couldn't contain her anger and yelled:

"Why are you still hesitating?! Are you scared?!"

"Don't worry, just a few words." Yuan Qi slowly inserted the deck into the duel disk and said:

"duel."

"duel!"

Chapter 5: Why are you yelling so loudly?

"drop!"

With a crisp sound, the silver duel disk on Yuan Qi's arm lit up slightly.

"In that case, I'll take it first." Yuan Qi said, drawing five cards from the deck.

"Choose to go first?" Joanna said with a vague smile. "Didn't Shana tell you that my deck is for going second?"

Yuan Qi's choice happened to be exactly what she wanted.

Yuan Qi glanced at Shana and found that Shana was clasping her hands together as if begging for mercy: "Sorry, sorry! I accidentally forgot!"

"..."

"Never mind. Even if you're playing second, I'll still go first." Yuan Qi glanced at his hand, stretched out his right hand, pulled out a card, and inserted it into the Duel Board. "I enter the Main Phase and activate the Spell Card - Pot of Greed and Humility."

"You can only activate one of this card's names per turn. During the turn this card is activated, you cannot Special Summon it."

"Flip over the top three cards of your deck, choose one from them and add it to your hand, then return the remaining cards to your deck."

The ability of the Traveling Bird deck to break through after the opponent has played the second hand is not very strong. Even if the opponent plays the second hand deck, Yuan Qi can only choose to play the first hand to launch the attack.

"A pot of lust and modesty?" Joanna couldn't help but feel a little sorry when she heard it.

She happened to draw a G of Proliferation in her hand. If Yuan Qi had expanded the deck and did not have Gray Flowing Beauty and Grave Finger, the G of Proliferation alone could have stopped him for a round.

However, if it is not an expansion deck, you will not be able to create a big scene if you take the initiative, and it will be easier to break through if you attack later.

While Joanna was thinking about tactics, Yuan Qi also turned over the three cards on the top of his deck, namely: Wind-flying Bird x Imperial Enterprise, Pot Full of Greed and Gold, Wind-flying Bird and Travel Preparation.

"I chose to add Wind Bird and Travel Preparation to my hand." Yuan Qi said lightly.

"Windbird? Where did this third-rate deck come from? I've never even heard of it." Joanna couldn't help but sneer at this. "You can't even use a T2 deck, and you dare to duel with me?"

Joanna naturally didn't think that Windbird was a new deck created by Yuan Qi. In her eyes, it was just a young man who was ignorant of the world and arrogantly challenged her with an unknown third-rate or even fourth-rate deck.

"It looks like another boring duel." Joanna yawned and looked at Yuan Qidao nonchalantly, "Hurry up and start your plan. I can't wait to end this duel."

"This guy is so arrogant." Ai raised his eyebrows and said with a somewhat unhappy look on his face.

"Just shut her up with the facts." Yuan Qi was too lazy to waste time arguing with such a person. He simply slapped a card on the Duel Board and said, "I Normal Summon Windbird x Mockingbird."

As soon as Yuan Qi finished speaking, a small bird with a brown-green olive back appeared on his field. However, unlike its back, the robin's face from chest to chest was bright brown-red, so the robin was also called the red-breasted bird.

"I activate the effect of Robin. This can only be activated when this card is successfully summoned. Add 1 Bird-Type monster of level 4 or lower from the deck to your hand. After that, you can summon 1 Bird-Type monster!" Yuan Qi stretched out his hand and activated the effect of Robin.

"Know more, know more!"

The robin made a crisp cry (robins don't sing like that, this is the author's modification), flapped its little wings, and activated the effect.

"It actually has both the effects of retrieval and expansion at the same time?" Joanna frowned, sensing something was amiss. Her instinct as a duelist told her that she must not let the effect of the robin pass at this time!

"I'm chain-activating Infinite Bubbles!" Joanna quickly inserted her Bubbles into the Duel Disk, pointed at the Robin on Yuan Qi's field, and shouted, "Neglect the effect of the Robin on your field!"

Blue electric currents like a swarm of snakes attacked the robin, and just as it was about to be reduced to charcoal, Yuan Qi inserted a card in his hand into the Duel Board and said, "Chain! I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card - Wind Bird Travel Ready!"

"Ban the Robin on my field, add Wind Wanderer and Mysterious Map from your deck to your hand, and I will recover 500 Life Points!"

At the moment when the electric current of Infinite Bubbles was about to touch the robin, a strong wind blew up, and the petite robin took advantage of the wind and flew directly to the exclusion zone, avoiding the attack of Infinite Bubbles!

"Did he use the chain rules to dodge it? So cool!" Shana, who was watching the fight from the side, couldn't help but applaud when she saw this scene.

"Tsk, there's actually this trick?" Joanna smacked her lips in displeasure, but she didn't feel much in her heart, because in her eyes, Windbird was just an unknown third or fourth-rate deck, and even if it was successfully deployed, it wouldn't be able to stop her.

"I deal with the effect of the robin, add the Gale Barrier Statue from the deck to my hand, and then Normal Summon the Wind Migrant Bird x Bald Eagle in my hand!" Yuan Qi continued.

The bald eagle with white patterns on its wings circled in the air for a while, then slowly landed on Yuan Qi's field. It raised its neck proudly, and stared at Joanna with its sharp eyes like knives, as if it wanted to cut her into pieces with its eyes.

Joanna had no idea how many monsters with ferocious eyes she had seen, so she naturally didn't care about the bald eagle's look. However... for some reason, when she looked at the bald eagle in front of her, Joanna always felt an indelible throbbing in her heart.

"I activate the effect of Windbird x Bald Eagle. This card can only be activated if it is successfully Normal Summoned. Add 1 Level 7 or higher Beast-Type monster from your deck to your hand. After that, you can Normal Summon 1 Beast-Type monster!"

Hara Nana calmly activated Bald Eagle's effect and reached into the banished area. "At the same time, I activate Robin's effect. This card is banished. This can only be activated if you have a Bird-Type monster summoned on your field. Add this card to your hand."

“c1c2!”

"I choose to add Windbird x Imperial Enterprise to my hand!"

When Joanna saw that General Suifeng Luniao Diqijia had joined the Yuan Qi generals, her pupils shrank sharply, and then the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly: "I see, I understand!"

"You...what did you understand?" Shana heard Joanna's sudden shout and looked at Joanna nervously.

Joanna ignored Shana and looked at Yuan Qi and sneered, "I understand how your deck works!"

"Using the effects of lower-level monsters to increase the number of monsters you can summon and sacrifice, and then Upgrade Summon powerful high-star monsters, right?"

Joanna was, after all, a lady from a noble family and an outstanding graduate of the Royal Academy. After hearing about the effect of the Bald Eagle, she saw through (what she thought was) the operation mode of the Windbird deck.

Yuan Qi glanced at Joanna strangely and said calmly, "You understand, then what? It's not a very complicated unfolding pattern. If you understand, then you understand. Why shout so loudly?"

"..."

Chapter 6: There is one thing I forgot to mention.

Joanna's face froze at Yuan Qi's words. She had thought that she had revealed the deployment pattern of Yuan Qi's deck, and Yuan Qi would be shocked and panic. Unexpectedly, Yuan Qi looked like nothing happened. Wouldn't this make her look like a clown and making a fuss about nothing?

"If there's nothing else, I'll continue." Yuan Qi said, slapping a card in his hand on the Duel Board. "Due to the effect of Bald Eagle, I Normal Summon Wind Bird x Ostrich from my hand."

The black and white ostrich stepped on its huge paws and appeared angrily on Yuan Qi's field, looking very ferocious.

"I activate the effect of Ostrich to banish the Infinite Bubbles in your graveyard. After that, you can summon one Bird-Beast monster!" Yuan Qi said, pointing at Joanna's graveyard.

The reason why you don't exclude your own graveyard is to guard against crows.

Although the other party may not have brought it, it would be troublesome if he did.

"Then, I will send the Wind Bird x Bald Eagle and Wind Bird x Ostrich to the Out Zone! Advanced Summon!"

"Come out! Windbird x Emperor Penguin!"

The black and white emperor penguin gently flapped its wings and appeared on the original seven fields, shaking its head, looking very cute.

"I activate the effect of Windward Bird x Imperial Enterprises. This can only be activated if this card is successfully Advanced Summoned. Add 1 "Windward Bird" Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand. Afterward, you can Normal Summon 1 monster!"

Hara Nana continued, "Then I activate the effect of Bald Eagle in the banished zone. This card is banished. This can only be activated when a Bird-Type monster is summoned on your field. Add this card to your hand!"

“c1c2!”

"I added Wind Bird and Dream Town from my deck to my hand, and then Normal Summoned Gale Barrier Statue!"

The emerald green gale barrier appeared on the original seven fields, but Joanna's attention was attracted by the bald eagle.
