A duelist never gives up!

"You finally noticed?" Yuan Qi raised an eyebrow and said, "I thought I had to say it out loud."

"What's going on?!" The Guardian's emotions were clearly fluctuating. "Why can't my Source Dragon activate its effect?!"

"Yeah, why?" Yuan Qi couldn't help but chuckle. "Let me give you a hint. As you said, there are no resources in the graveyard, and the face-up cards haven't been opened. I've already explained the two effects of the field. So, what other cards have this power?"

"Windbird x Emperor Penguin?!" The Guardian looked at the harmless penguin on the original seventh field and couldn't help but shout, "Is that the monster?"

"Congratulations, you got it right." Hara Shichi shrugged and explained, "Windbird's second effect says that as long as this card is Super Summoned in a Monster Zone, your opponent's Special Summoned monsters on the field can't activate their effects."

"Do you understand? Why can't Yuanshulong produce any effect?" Yuan Qi said.

"So that's how it is." The Guardian uttered a low voice, "But don't think you can pass the trial just like this. I still have..."

"It's the No. 3000 Dragon Shadow God Graviton Dragon with a defense of 97, which cannot be targeted and cannot be destroyed by battle or effects, right?" Yuan Qi glanced at the Graviton Dragon on the Guardian's field and said slowly.

"It seems you have a pretty deep card pool." The Guardian couldn't help but admire Yuan Qi's apparent back-up plan. "But if that's the case, you should also know how difficult it is for you to deal with my No. 97 Dragon Shadow God Graviton Dragon on the field right now, right?"

"It can't be targeted, and can't be destroyed by battle effects. Many decks can't even deal with this kind of resistant monster even if they exhaust their entire deck."

"I'm ending my turn now. It's your turn now." The Guardian said calmly.

"Unfortunately, Windbird isn't in the deck you mentioned." Yuan Qi placed his hand on his deck, his lips curled up slightly as he said, "I'll finish you off this turn!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Have you forgotten the effect of Gale Emperor? Your next draw is already fixed." The Guardian pointed at Yuan Qi's deck and said, "Aside from the Giant God Bird of the Valley of Mist, you won't draw any other cards!"

"Then watch me!" Yuan Qi suddenly pulled a card from the deck and said, "My turn, draw a card!"

"brush!"

With a sharp sound of breaking through the air, Yuan Qi drew a card from his deck. Just as the guardian had said, that card was the Giant Bird of the Valley of Mist, but...

"I enter the Main Phase!" Hara Nana slapped a card in his hand onto the Duel Board and said, "I Normal Summon Windbird x Toucan!"

The dark blue toucan flapped its wings again and landed gently on the duel arena.

"I activate Toucan's effect!" Hara Nana stretched out her hand. "If this card is successfully Normal Summoned, you can activate this effect by targeting one of your banished "Windbird" cards. Add that card to your hand. After that, you can Normal Summon one Bird-Type monster!"

Chapter 20: I've figured it out!

"I choose to add Windbird x Bald Eagle from the exclusion zone to my hand!"

The Guardian now has only one card in his hand, which is the Mechanical Snake that was previously shuffled back into the deck by the Gale Emperor and then drawn out through the Unbounded Effect.

In other words… there aren’t any hand pits.

"Since there's no hand trap, I won't hold back." Yuan Qi slammed the Bald Eagle in his hand onto the Duel Plate without hesitation and said, "I Normal Summon Windbird x Bald Eagle!"

As soon as Yuan Qi finished speaking, the bald eagle landed on the duel arena, and together with the ostrich, it was sandwiched between Emperor Qi and Fierce Wind Emperor. It was obviously a mighty and majestic eagle, but in comparison with Emperor Qi and Fierce Wind Emperor, it was forced to look like a sparrow.

However, even so, its power will not be weakened in the slightest.

"I activate the effect of Bald Eagle," Hara Nanada shouted. "This can only be activated if this card 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!"

"I added Windbird x Imperial Enterprises from the deck to my hand, and then I used Windbird x Bald Eagle and Windbird Ostrich on the field as sacrifices!" Yuan Qi raised Windbird x Imperial Enterprises above his head, and then slammed them hard on the duel disk!

"Summoned by superiors!"

"Windbird x Imperial Enterprise!!!"

With a dull thud, the second Emperor Centipede appeared in front of Yuan Qi. The two Emperor Centipedes stood together, like twins, making it impossible to tell them apart.

"I activate the effect of Wind Wanderer x Imperial. This card can only be activated if it is successfully Advanced Summoned. Add 1 'Wind Wanderer' Magic/Trap Card from your deck to your hand. After that, you can Normal Summon 1 monster." Hara Nana continued as he activated Imperial's effect. "Then I chain activate the effect of Wind Wanderer x Ostrich in the banished zone. While this card is banished, this card can only be activated if you have a Bird-Type Monster Summoned on your side of the field. Add this card to your hand."

"I first added Windbird x Ostrich to my hand. Then, I added the Continuous Spell Cards - Windbird and Unknown Wind - from my deck."

Yuan Qi showed the Wind Bird and Unknown Wind he had just retrieved to the Guardian and said, "Watch this! I will use this card to defeat your No. 97 Dragon Shadow God Graviton Dragon!"

Without waiting for the Guardian's reply, Yuan Qi directly inserted the Continuous Magic Card in his hand into the Duel Disk: "First, I activate Wind Bird and Unknown Wind."

"Next, I activate the effects of the Field Spell Cards Windward Bird and Mysterious Map." Hara Nana showed Windward Bird and Ostrich in his hand. "I show Windward Bird and Ostrich in my hand, banish Windward Bird and Mockingbird from the Deck, and then I Normal Summon Windward Bird and Ostrich!"

Accompanied by a white light, the Wind-Migrating Bird x Ostrich, which had been sent out of the outer zone as a sacrifice of the Imperial Enterprise, appeared in front of Yuan Qi again, occupying the last square on the field.

"I activate the effects of Windbird x Ostrich, and then I chain activate the effects of Windbird x Robin from the banished area," Yuan Qi continued. "I add Windbird x Robin from the banished area to my hand."

"Next, I banish the Unbounded Thunderbird from the Graveyard, and then Normal Summon the Bird-type in my hand."

Yuan Qi showed the Giant Bird of the Cloud Valley in his hand and said, "You should know what I want to summon."

"Even if you summoned the Giant Bird of the Cloud Valley, it would be meaningless." The guardian said lightly, "It can't kill the monsters on my field."

"I told you, this card is the one that will deal with your monster." Yuan Qi pointed at the Wind Bird and Unknown Wind on his field.

The guardian was silent for a moment, then said quietly, "Just now, I figured out something."

"What?" Yuan Qi looked at the guardian in confusion, not understanding what he, who had been a guardian for who knows how many years, had realized from this duelist.

"If you want to tell me, you will tell me. If you don't want to tell me, you will definitely hide it." The guardian said calmly, "I know you really want me to ask you about the effect of this card, but if I ask you impatiently and you tell me calmly, I will show shock again."

"Isn't that a clown."

"..."

"Damn it, he actually found out!" Ai said in shock.

"So that's how it is. Yuan Qi, do you have such a bad taste?" Honglian nodded thoughtfully.

"Eh? Classmate Yuan Qi, are you deliberately inducing the guard to ask questions?" Xuefeng pouted, feeling that she had seen another side of Yuan Qi.

"He's a bit sinister." Baiban raised his eyebrows.

Yuan Qi curled his lips and looked at the guard and said, "How is that possible? You are just overthinking it."

"Really? Then go ahead." The guardian said calmly.

Yuan Qi was originally in high spirits, but after hearing what the guardian said, it was like a bucket of cold water was poured on him, extinguishing the fire in his heart.

"Then, according to the effects of Windbird and Unknown Wind, as long as this card is in the Spell & Trap Zone, if you perform an Advanced Summon that requires releasing two monsters, you can send one monster you control and one card your opponent controls to the Graveyard instead of releasing two monsters." Hara Nana said, looking at the Graviton Dragon on the Guardian's field. "You understand what this effect means, right?"

"I know, but I don't want to say it. You go on." The guardian said in a cold attitude. Since the outcome of the duel is inevitable, he must defend his image as the follower of the Dark Duel God and the guardian of the Trial Ground!

"In that case, I won't be polite!" Yuan Qi's face darkened as he said in a deep voice, "I'm sending my Windbird x Toucan and your No. 97 Dragon Shadow Gravitron to the graveyard!"

"Summoned by superiors!"

"The Giant Bird of the Valley of Mist!!!"

The ferocious big yellow bird appeared on Yuan Qi's field, completing the last piece of the puzzle of victory.

"Isn't there no partner?" the whiteboard on the side asked curiously.

"This kind of grave-sending effect doesn't discriminate against the target," Yuan Qi explained, continuing, "That's the end of it."

"I'm entering the battle phase!"

"Use Windbird x Imperial, Windbird x Imperial, Gale Emperor, and the Giant God Bird of the Valley of Mist to attack you directly!"

Four powerful bird-beasts charged at the empty guardian on the field. The guardian stretched out the mechanical snake in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then gently put it down.

"Peng!"

Guardian lp: 0

Win: Yuan Qi!

"Congratulations on passing the second level, trial-taker. I look forward to our next meeting." The guardian said this indifferently and disappeared from the spot. Then, the dazzling light once again filled the entire space!

Chapter 21: Who doesn’t like za? They just say one thing and mean another!

"Despicable! Shameless! You bastard!"

A crisp voice sounded from behind Xuefeng. Xuefeng turned around and saw Beifeng clenching his pink fists. He walked with his head tilted and spitting sweet words at Sera, who was standing beside him with a happy look on her face. Julie, who was walking behind them, covered her ears and looked quite helpless.

"What's wrong?" Baiban turned his attention to Beifeng and Sera and asked curiously, "What happened?"

"Let her speak for herself, let her tell us what good things she has done!" Beifeng pointed at Sera and said angrily.

"Huh? I didn't do anything unnecessary." Sera spread her hands with an innocent look, blinked her big watery eyes and said, "Maybe I was too harsh and hurt Miss Beifeng's pride."

"Bah! Shameless!" Bei Feng stared at Sera intently from beneath his mask, gritting his teeth. "You said you wanted to prove the power of the Insect Demon, but you ended up using a Hero Deck! You're using heroes to prove it, right?"

"No, no, no, I didn't say I was going to prove the power of the Insect Demon." Sera stretched out her scallion-like index finger and gently waved it in front of Beifeng. "I just made a bet with you. I said if I win, you have to admit that the Prismatic Maiden is inferior to the Insect Demon. But I didn't say I would use the Insect Demon deck to fight you."

"You...you!" Bei Feng stamped his feet in anger. He wanted to retort but didn't know how. For a moment, he choked up and said, "Anyway, it's your fault!"

"Oh no, the child seems to be crying." Honglian whispered to Xuefeng.

"Eh? What should we do? Should we go up and comfort her?" Xuefeng looked at Yuan Qi who was resting his head on his legs and said reluctantly.

Sera obviously hadn't expected Bei Feng's psychological endurance to be so poor. She was slightly stunned and sighed helplessly, "Aren't you a cadre of the Anti-Duelers League? Why are you acting like a child?"

"..."

"Not to mention that I didn't lie to you, I just tricked you. Even if I did lie to you, you would still believe my opponent's words..."

"I believed it because I wanted to!" Beifeng couldn't help but shout at Sera, "I believed it because I thought we were companions!"

Sera stared at Beifeng blankly, moving her rosy lips, wanting to say something, but she said nothing.

After a long silence, Beifeng uttered a low and hoarse voice: "I'm tired. I'm going back to rest first."

Having said that, he left without looking back.

Sera watched Beifeng's receding figure, gently kicked the gravel at her feet, and said sullenly, "Since we're companions, don't mind such a little joke."

"You just like to talk nonsense during duels," Julie said expressionlessly. "If you hadn't been so close to her face, she wouldn't have reacted so strongly. Girls are very sensitive to their reputations."

"Oh..." Sera lowered her head and said with a long sigh, moving her legs, "Then I'll go apologize to her."

"No, let's wait until Yuan Qi wakes up." Bai Ban stopped Sera and said, "Going now will probably only add fuel to the fire. It's better to wait until she calms down."

Sera nodded, but after being reminded by the whiteboard, she also reacted: "How did the duel go? Where's Yuan Qi?"

"The duel has been won. As for Yuan Qi... he is enjoying a girl's thighs." Honglian pointed at Xuefeng who was sitting on the ground.

"Hey...Xuefeng, you are really considerate." Sera looked at Yuan Qi resting his head on Xuefeng's thigh and couldn't help but forced a smile.

If I had known earlier, I would not have dueled with Bei Feng. Not only did a conflict arise, but I also missed the opportunity to get close to Yuan Qi. What a loss!

"Hehe~" Xuefeng lowered his head and looked at Yuan Qi's sleeping face, a faint blush appearing on his face.

Although it was just an illusion, but putting Yuan Qi's head on my thigh like this really gave me the feeling that Yuan Qi belonged to me alone.

Xuefeng thought so as he gently stroked Yuan Qi's cheek with his soft fingertips.

At the same time, another white little hand was gently stroking Yuan Qi's cheek.

"Hmm?" Yuan Qi slowly opened his eyes and saw Ino lying on his side beside him with his clothes disheveled. A warm little hand as white as jade was gently stroking his cheek.

"Are you awake?" Ino blushed and smiled shyly. "It's still early. Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

As Yinuo spoke, her soft little hand slid from Yuan Qi's cheek to his chest. After gently twisting it a few times between her fingers, she continued to slide down...

"Wait!" Yuan Qi quickly held the girl's wrist and said in a panic, "You don't plan to go to sleep."

"Don't you like it?" Ino paused his movements and said nervously, "I saw that you looked very comfortable before, so I thought you would like to do this kind of thing."

"This isn't a question of liking her or not..." Yuan Qi said with a headache as he looked at Ino's watery eyes. The girl in front of him was indeed very nice, but he didn't like Ino to the point of liking her. However, Ino had already forced herself on him and given him her most precious thing. And if his guess was correct, this should be an illusion. In that case, there was no need for him to be so fussy about it...

Yuan Qi, oh Yuan Qi! You can't fall like this!

"Well, you are still young after all, and you just experienced that kind of pain yesterday. It's better for you to rest now." Yuan Qi coughed twice.

"Still young?" Ino tilted his head in confusion. "I'm of marriageable age."

Was the marriageable age in ancient times a bit early?

Yuan Qi couldn't help but complain.

"Although it hurts a bit, I'm completely fine now." Ino raised the corner of his mouth smugly, and lay on Yuan Qi's body as before, holding Yuan Qi's arm and said, "If you don't believe me, why don't you try to resist?"

"Wait, I don't think it's right for you to force me like this."

"I've seen it a long time ago. You say one thing and mean another. I have to be tough with you!"

“Hmm?! Hmm?!”

Just when Yuan Qi was about to score his second goal, a dull sound suddenly came from outside the door.

"Boom boom boom!"
