A duelist never gives up!

"If it keeps appearing by our side, won't it consume energy or something?" Xuefeng continued to ask unwillingly.

"It does consume a certain amount of dueling power." Ai nodded and said, "But Yuan Qi has won quite a few duels since he met me. I can't say how much dueling power he has, but it's more than enough to maintain my clone."

So, Xuefeng had to accept a shocking fact: "In other words, you have always been with Yuan Qi?"

"Yes, yes." Ai said, holding out her fair palm and smiling happily, "Whether it's getting up, eating, bathing, sleeping, dueling, or reading, I'm always by his side watching him."

Yuan Qi, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly shuddered and slowly said, "When you disappeared, shouldn't you have…"

"I just disappeared from your sight, but I didn't really disappear." Ai raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, that's right." Yuan Qi laughed dryly, feeling as if he had said this before.

"Wait, so this means Yuan Qi will have no privacy at all?" Xuefeng frowned slightly and suddenly realized something.

"Hmm?" Ai was slightly stunned. She seemed to have never thought about this question before. After all...

"Yuan Qi and I are of one mind and one body. There is nothing to hide between us." Ai raised his chin proudly.

"No matter how close you are, you should still give each other some privacy!" Xuefeng said angrily. The jealousy that had been rising in her heart turned into anger in an instant. "Everyone has secrets that they don't want others to know, right?"

Ai raised her eyebrows angrily. What Xuefeng said made sense, but she and Yuan Qi were different and special, and it was not something that an outsider like her could comment on casually!

But Ai knew that it would be unreasonable for her to say more at this time, so she turned her head and stared at Yuan Qi with her deep blue eyes and said, "Do you mind if I watch you 24 hours a day?"

"I don't mind." Yuan Qi said a little unnaturally.

When Ai heard this, her face immediately turned red, like a child who had received recognition from an adult. She said to Xuefeng, "See! I told you..."

"But I think this is not good." Yuan Qi said again.

Ai's face darkened in an instant: "What's wrong?"

"It's not that I'm bad, it's that I'm bad for you." Yuan Qi looked at Ai seriously and said, "You can't always revolve around me, and I can't respond to you all the time. You have to have your own hobbies, your own friends, and things you can do on your own. Otherwise, when I don't have time to take care of you, what are you going to do? Just wait?"

"I can sleep." Ai said gloomily. After all, she was not a human being. She could sleep as long as she wanted. She would sleep when she had nothing to do, waiting for Yuan Qi to call her, or for her to look for Yuan Qi.

"That won't work." Yuan Qi shook his head. "I'm not forcing you to do anything, but I think you can try doing something away from me..."

"I can't leave you. What if something happens to you when I leave you?" Ai said with a puffed up face.

"Why can't you leave Yuan Qi?" Xuefeng looked at the two of them, somewhat puzzled.

Yuan Qi said embarrassedly: "Well... actually... I am the same as Honglian, no, maybe even worse than her. I don't have the strength to duel."

"Eh?!" Xuefeng looked at Yuan Qidao in surprise, "No? Not at all?"

"Maybe a little bit?" Yuan Qi himself was not very clear.

"Do you understand now?" Ai sighed, stroking Yuan Qi's head like a mother stroking her son. "It's not that I'm clinging to Yuan Qi 24 hours a day like a nympho, but he can't duel without me."

"If a duel suddenly becomes necessary and I'm not with him, it would be a real problem." Ai patted Yuan Qidao, "But it's not as exaggerated as you think. I occasionally sneak around alone, but I won't go too far. And I won't watch this guy when he's showering or using the bathroom."

"Can't you keep an eye on me?" Xuefeng said blankly.

Ai's face flushed, and she turned away awkwardly, saying, "Of course not."

"When I don't need to duel anymore, Ai can live a normal human life." Yuan Qi said to Ai, "So, be patient for a while."

"I don't think it's bad. You said that to yourself, didn't you?" Ai poked Yuan Qi's cheek and said expressionlessly, "Tell me the truth. Are you planning to do something you don't want me to know about? Like getting intimate with a girl or something?"

As he spoke, Ai glanced at Xuefeng who was standing beside him.

Two blushes suddenly appeared on Xuefeng's fair little face, and her pair of little hands, which had nowhere to put, were quietly hidden behind her waist.

"Ahem, okay, let's talk about it later." Yuan Qi changed the subject without changing his expression, and then asked Xuefeng, "What did you want to talk to me about?"

Xuefeng heard Yuan Qi's voice and quickly replied, "I noticed you didn't look well this morning, so I wanted to come over and see you."

"Ah, do I look bad?" Yuan Qi recalled his condition in the morning and apologized quickly. "I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm fine now."

"Is everything alright?" Xuefeng opened her mouth slightly, looking at Yuan Qi with confusion, "What method have you decided on?"

"No, I thought of a better way." Yuan Qi chuckled.

Ai's eyes widened: "Isn't this my idea?"

"Who just said one mind, one body?"

"Then you should also say 'we'!"

"..."

Xuefeng watched the two of them playing together, and for some reason, he felt the smile on his face a little stiff.

"Welcome, Trialist. I am the guardian of the fifth level. Defeat me and you will enter the final level."

It was still that familiar voice, still that familiar figure, and the guardian made of black mist once again floated in the air, looking down at Yuan Qi.

"Ah, we meet again." Yuan Qi slowly raised his arm, and a silver-white duel disk slowly appeared on his left arm. "Let's make a quick decision this time."

"The rule this time is unlimited LP. Yuan Qi, have you thought about how to win?" Julie, who was standing behind Yuan Qi, crossed her arms and couldn't help asking.

"Don't worry, I'm ready." Yuan Qi raised the deck in his hand and said, "Just stand by and watch me win."

Julie opened her mouth, as if she wanted to ask something, but then shook her head gently: "As long as you are prepared, come on."

After Julie finished speaking, without waiting for Yuan Qi's reply, she silently took a few steps back and stood at a distance to watch the fight.

"What were you talking to Yuan Qi just now?" Sera poked Julie's slender waist and asked alertly.

"Ask him how he prepared for the trial." Julie answered truthfully.

"Well... is that all?" Sera looked at Julie suspiciously, her cute and playful face full of disbelief.

"Do you think everyone is as love-brained as you and Xuefeng?" Julie flicked Sera's smooth forehead with her finger in annoyance.

Sera frowned and said in feigned anger, "What?! You actually said that Xuefeng and I are in love? Damn it, Xuefeng, let Julie know how powerful we are!"

"..."

Sera was answered by a dead silence.

"Xuefeng?" Sera turned her head and looked at Xuefeng curiously. She found that Xuefeng was biting her lower lip and her clear blue eyes were constantly wandering around Yuan Qi, as if looking for something.

"Xuefeng?" Sera called out softly again, but Xuefeng seemed not to hear it and still looked straight at Yuan Qi's surroundings.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Sera patted Xuefeng's arm worriedly. It was not that she didn't want to pat other places, but she couldn't reach other places.

"Eh?" Xuefeng suddenly woke up. She turned her head to look at the worried look on Sera's face. She immediately understood something and smiled embarrassedly. "Sorry, I was distracted just now."

"Are you thinking about Yuan Qi?" Sera said with a teasing smile.

"Well...I guess so." Xuefeng touched the ends of his hair and evaded the question.

She couldn't say that she was wondering where Ai was floating next to Yuan Qi, right?

Left side?

Right?

Top of head?

Shoulder?

Even... in his arms?

Unless Ai wants to, no one can see her. Which means...she can do whatever she wants without anyone seeing it?!

When he thought of this, Xuefeng felt uncomfortable all over.

But Xuefeng was obviously overthinking it.

Although Ai does behave this way and that way towards Harachi, he is still very serious when dueling.

At this moment, she was floating on Yuan Qi's right side, her soft little hands gently resting on Yuan Qi's shoulders, looking at the guardian floating opposite with a serious face.

"Well then, let's begin," the Guardian said, placing a stack of pitch-black cards into his duel disk.

"Wait." Yuan Qi stretched out his hand and said, "Let me transform before the duel."

"Hmm??" The Guardian was stunned. His originally cold, ethereal voice, devoid of any emotion, now became full of human emotion. "Transform... Transform? Transform into what?"

"Don't you even understand transformation?" Yuan Qi scratched his hair, somewhat distressed. "It's like in knight novels, when the protagonist faces a powerful enemy, they activate the elven or dragon bloodline in their body and transform themselves into a more powerful form."

"Oh, so that's how it is." The guardian understood.

"Yes, that's right." Yuan Qi nodded with a smile.

"..."

"..."

"No! There are no dragons or elves in this world!" After a long silence, the guardian suddenly spoke.

"He finally reacted." Sera couldn't help but complain.

"Eh? No?" Xuefeng said with a silly look on his face.

"How could there be one?" Julie held her forehead and said, "If there is one, it's a Duel Monster, right? How could a human have the blood of a Duel Monster and activate that blood to transform?"

Sera beside her suddenly started coughing: "Cough, cough, cough..."

"Sera, do you have a cold?" Julie looked at Sera strangely.

"No, my throat is just a little itchy." Sera said, and subconsciously touched her left hand. According to the setting of the knight novel, she should be able to transform?

No, no, no, what are you thinking about? That kind of thing is just a plot in novels. How can there really be such a thing as transformation?

"Then how does Yuan Qi transform?" Xuefeng frowned in confusion.

"You must be joking!" Sera waved her hand. "He must have figured something out and is in a better mood. Yuan Qi likes to make jokes like this when he's in a good mood."

"Although I don't have the blood of a dragon or an elf, I have something more advanced than that." Yuan Qi looked at Ai beside him and said slowly, "Let's get started, Ai!"

"Soul Sync!"

brush!

In an instant, a dazzling white light shone from Yuan Qi's body, making it impossible for the onlookers to open their eyes for a moment.

"No...no way? Can it really transform?!" Sera covered her eyes and couldn't help shouting.

"So it was not a joke?" Julie was much calmer. No matter how bizarre the matter was, if it happened to Yuan Qi, it would be normal.

"Hey, this doesn't make sense, does it? Something's wrong!" Bei Feng pointed at the glittering Yuan Qi and said, "I've never heard of a transformation before!!"

"I knew Yuan Qi could do it!" Xuefeng nodded, although she would say this no matter what Yuan Qi did.

"It seems... our leader has some unknown little secrets." Baiban's mouth curled up slightly. No matter what, the stronger Yuan Qi is, the happier she is.

The strong duel force, along with the soul, transferred from Ai's body into Yuan Qi's body. Although it was not the first time, it was only the second time. Fortunately, this force was not rough, but unusually warm and gentle. It was probably because of the experience of the first time. After all, the first time is new, the second time is familiar.

“深度连接……7%、13%、23%、29%、36%……49%、63%！”

"Peng!"

Accompanied by a loud noise, the dazzling white light was bounced back like armor, revealing Yuan Qi inside.

"So... the transformation was successful?!" Sera rubbed her eyes and looked at Yuan Qi who reappeared in her eyes, and couldn't help but be surprised.

I saw that half of Yuan Qi's originally jet-black hair had turned into a dazzling silver-white, and even his whole body began to emit a faint white light, like an angel fallen into the mortal world, exuding a sacred aura.

Yuan Qi——Soul synchronization form (63% synchronization rate)!

Chapter 102: Come on! Siren Mermaid!

Faced with the new form displayed by Yuan Qi, the onlookers expressed different opinions.

"I don't know what's going on, but he looks so powerful!" Xuefeng waved his little fists and cheered for Yuan Qi.

"Silver hair? I thought it couldn't be... No way..." Julie looked at the silver hair on Yuan Qi's head, and a drop of cold sweat slid down her forehead.

"Isn't it just a change of hair color? It feels no different from before." Honglian touched her long red hair and said insincerely. She actually had some guesses in her heart, but she didn't intend to say it out loud.

"So what is the principle behind this transformation? Can the transformation increase any power?" Baiban narrowed his eyes and looked at Yuan Qi curiously, but he didn't rush forward to ask - Yuan Qi couldn't run away anyway, so there was no need to rush.

As the central figure in the discussion, Yuan Qi himself sighed with a hint of regret: "Only 63%?"

"Sixty-three percent is already high!" Ai said unhappily. "It's more than enough to implement our plan."

"Well, then..." Yuan Qi twisted his neck to stretch his body, and with a pair of dark eyes, he looked at the guardian calmly and said, "Let's duel."
