A duelist never gives up!

"It looks big and fat... but only has 1600 attack power?" Xuefeng murmured softly. He remembered Yuan Qi saying that the overall attack power of the Satellite Shining monsters did not exceed 2000. They could only be increased by the use of their own Quick-Play Spell Cards, their own monsters, or other monsters. Perhaps he could take advantage of this...

No, it seems like Rikka's ranking isn't very high either...

While Xuefeng was daydreaming, Perlivia took action again.

"I activate the effect of Giant Jet Moon Shining!" Purlivia commanded the monsters on her field. "This can only be activated during my Main Phase. Remove 1 Xyz Material from my field and Special Summon 1 Level 2 monster from my Deck!"

"I Special Summon Satellite Shining Blue Jet from my Deck!"

As soon as Perlivia finished speaking, the satellite Shining Blue Jet Spirit, with blue electricity all over its body, appeared on Perlivia's field wearing a thick black leather jacket, making a "crackling" sound of electricity.

"I activate the effect of Satellite Blue Jet!" Purlivia continued. "This can only be activated if this card is successfully Special Summoned. Add one Satellite monster from your deck, other than Satellite Blue Jet, to your hand!"

"I'm adding Jet, the Satellite, from my deck to my hand!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the moment she got the Satellite Shining Spirit·Jet Spirit, Perlivia slapped it directly on the Duel Disk and said, "I Special Summon Satellite Shining Spirit·Jet Spirit!"

"brush!"

Accompanied by a dazzling white light, the satellite Shining Spirit Jet Spirit appeared in front of Perlivia with light steps, looking ahead indifferently with his silver eyes.

"I activate the effect of Jetstar, Satellite!" Purlivia continued. "This can only be activated if this card is successfully Special Summoned. Add one 'Satellite' Spell/Trap Card from your deck to your hand!"

"I added Satellite Spark Starter from my deck to my hand!"

"Then..." Purlivia quickly inserted the card she had just retrieved into the duel board and said, "I activate the Quick Attack Magic Card - Satellite Flash Activator!"

"This card's effect is to Special Summon 1 "Satellite" monster from your Deck, and you lose Life Points equal to that monster's original ATK!"

"I Special Summon Satellite Shining Radish Elf from my deck in Defense Position!"

Following Purlivia's call, the slender satellite Shining Radish Elf appeared on the duel field wearing a black tights, a silver-white coat and stockings.

Perlivia lp8000→7000.

"Isn't it the Radish Elf instead of the Red Elf?" Xuefeng was stunned when she saw the monsters on Perlivia's field, but she quickly realized that if Perlivia didn't have any Satellite Shinings in her hand, then she could only choose between the Radish Elf and the Red Elf.

Now that there is an Evil Legacy Heart Sea Fairy on the field that can negate monster effects, choosing a Radish Elf that can negate Spell and Trap Cards will undoubtedly expand one's attack range.

As expected of the former Duel King, right? Really thoughtful, but then... I'm in a pretty bad spot!

However, what Xuefeng did not expect was that Perlivia's development was not over yet.

She reached into her extra deck, pulled out a card, placed it in front of her, and said, "I'm going to set Satellite Shining Jet and Satellite Shining Blue Jet on the field to the link markers!"

"The summoning conditions are 2 monsters other than Link Monsters!"

"Connect Summon!"

"I:P Masquerade Lena!!!"

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar, a girl in a tight leather jacket fell from the sky on a purple motorcycle and landed in front of Perlivia!

"Hmm...I:P Masquerade Lena..." Xuefeng looked at the girl who suddenly appeared on the field of Perlivia, and her little face became more and more ugly.

Although Yukikaze didn't remember the effects of many monsters very clearly, she was still deeply impressed by I:P Masquerade Reina, a monster that could only be Link Summoned during the opponent's turn.

Whether it is the special summoning of Unicorn, Divine Bow, Double Dome, or Hades, they are all very troublesome for him.

However, although this ending seems very powerful, it actually has many hidden disadvantages. As long as you use your cards reasonably, it is not impossible to break through!

"Well... I'll end this round like this."

After confirming her end, Perlivia gently cut the cards in her hand and ended her turn.

"Well, it's my turn then!"

Xuefeng pressed her slender fingers tightly on the deck and said, "Draw a card!!!"

"brush!"

With a sharp sound of breaking through the air, Xuefeng added a card from the deck to his hand.

"This is... I didn't expect to draw this card, but before that..." Xuefeng's eyes lit up when he saw the drawn card, but he quickly put away the smile on his face and inserted a card into the duel board, saying, "I enter the main phase!"

"Activate the magic card - Rough Man's Prediction!"

"You can only activate this if you have no monsters on the field. Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Normal Monster from your Deck!"

"What?!" Purlivia looked at the magic card that appeared on the snow wind field, and a look of astonishment appeared on her cold and pretty face, but she quickly regained her composure, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"This is truly... unexpected."

Chapter 58: Who else but me?

There was a reason why Purlivia was shocked.

Among top duelists, monsters are usually the most useless existence. Not to mention being put into deck construction, no one would even pick them up if they were thrown on the ground.

The reason is simple - usually monsters have no effect.

The three main factors that make up a monster's strength are: appearance conditions, monster effects, and monster management.

Among them, the monster effects are particularly important. Monsters with one effect are inherently weaker than other monsters, so when Purlivia saw Xuefeng use "Unexpected", she was indeed shocked.

But what is more important than the shock is how it is handled.

As mentioned before, the benefits of Normal monsters are extremely low and are not worth investing in deck construction. Even if Xuefeng uses Rough Man's Unexpected to Special Summon a Normal monster, it can only summon a blank card with no effect. It should be meaningless except to serve as a springboard for other monsters to appear.

Since it's meaningless, then Perlivia shouldn't use the Radish Elf here to negate the unexpected effect, but...

Does Perlivia really think so?

First of all, Perlivia didn't know her own deck.

Secondly, as a top duelist, Perlivia would certainly not underestimate her opponent.

Everyone knows that normal monsters don't bring much benefit. If that's the case, why would you still put normal monsters in your deck?

Plus, I swore before the duel that I would become the Duel King... Would she use this as my secret weapon, and then... use the Carrot Elf to fight me off?

Although this guess is very bold, Xuefeng feels that this possibility exists. As long as Perlivia uses the carrot elf here to negate his rough expectations, he will definitely win this duel!

And if Perlivia hadn't done this, I would have another plan!

However, just as Xuefeng was looking at Perlivia motionlessly, Perlivia moved.

She gently pulled out a card from her hand and sent it to the graveyard without hesitation, saying, "I'm activating the effect of Gray Flowing Beauty in my hand, negating your unexpected effect."

"brush!"

There was a flash of white light, and the lovely Hui Liuli appeared on Xuefeng's field with a smile, and gently stepped on the rough man who was moving with her bare feet, as if to say: No special recruitment allowed!

"Eh?!"

Xuefeng couldn't help but scream when he saw the little blonde girl suddenly appearing in front of him.

Gray Liuli?!

Is there a hand hole on her hand?

How could this happen? !

I've clearly made a strong finish, so why is there still a hand hole on my hand?

Xuefeng had never considered this situation before, and couldn't help but feel a little flustered, with beads of sweat beginning to appear on his white and tender palms.

As if sensing Xuefeng's confusion, Purlivia said calmly, "Deployment components, hand traps, removal cards, and designated cards—these are the basic components of a normal deck. As you can tell from my deployment, I don't have any extra deployment components, and I don't have any cover cards in my backfield. So, aren't there only two possibilities for my hand?"

"Hmm..." Xuefeng opened his mouth, wanting to ask why there were no scrap parts, but when he thought about it carefully, Yuan Qi seemed to have told him that there were fewer scrap parts in the Shining Relic, but he just didn't react at the moment.

"Okay, now that you understand, let's continue." Perlivia hooked her finger at Xuefeng and said, "Don't you want to become the Duel King? If so, then don't make that ugly face. The Duel King is someone who stands at the top. If you want to be the Duel King, you must have the aura of being the best."

Who else but me has such momentum?

Xuefeng was slightly stunned and felt a little confused.

Purlivia was the former Duel King, so her words might have some truth to them, but what does that aura of "who else but me" look like? What does that feel like? I have no idea...

By the way, if it’s Yuan Qi…that’s not right!

Just as Xuefeng tried to recall Yuan Qi's duel and words again and tried to imitate them, she suddenly shuddered.

She really didn't know what the meaning of the "who else but me" aura was, but if she just blindly followed Yuan Qi's words... she would never be able to defeat him!

That’s right, if you want to win and achieve your goals, you must use everything you have seen and learned, and keep thinking of your own answers!

"I figured it out."

Xuefeng thanked Purlivia earnestly, "Thank you for your guidance. I have benefited greatly from it."

"It's not worth mentioning, just gossip." Perlivia said lightly, "Come on, continue."

"Ok!"

Xuefeng nodded, then slapped a card in his hand onto the Duel Board and said, "I haven't Normal Summoned this turn yet. I Normal Summon Holy Seed Earth Spirit!"

With a crisp sound, a brown seed fixed on a golden tray appeared on Xuefeng's duel field.

"chain!"

Perlivia looked at the monsters that appeared on the Snow Wind field and instantly waved her slender arms and said, "I activate the effect of the Naughty Spirit on the field and Special Summon the Blue Jet Spirit from the Graveyard!"

The blue jet spirit, emitting blue electric currents all over its body, appeared again on the duel field of Perlivia under the power of the naughty elf, and quickly launched its own effect.

"I activate the effect of Blue Jet. When this card is Special Summoned, add 1 "Satellite" monster from your deck to your hand, except "Satellite Blue Jet."

"At the same time, I chain-activate the effects of I:P Masquerade Reina on the field!"

"You can only activate during your opponent's Main Phase. Use monsters on your field, including this card, as Link Materials for a Link Summon!"

Purlivia reached into her extra deck, pulled out a card, and placed it in front of herself, saying, "I set I:P Masquerade Reina, Satellite Shining: Blue Jet Spirit, and Satellite Shining: Naughty Elf on the field to the Link Marker!"

"Connect Summon!"

"LINK Four! The Divine Bow of Summoning - Apollosa!!!"

Accompanied by a dazzling white light, a huge snow-white bow appeared on Perlivia's field.

[Bow of Summoning - Apollos Wind/Angel ATK: 2400]

"He actually summoned the divine bow without hesitation?" Xuefeng couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the divine bow on the field with Perlivia. Although there was nothing wrong with this choice, it was a bit too decisive, wasn't it?

However, facing Xuefeng's doubts, Perlivia looked at Xuefeng with her black eyes and said jokingly: "What you are going to do next is connect one, right?"

Chapter 59: One on One!

For a moment, Xuefeng felt as if his hidden thoughts were seen through by Purlivia's clear eyes, and his body subconsciously became as stiff as a fish in the glacier, unable to move.

How did she know what I was going to do next?

Mind reading? No, that's impossible. That means...she has already figured out what deck I am using?

That's impossible. I haven't mentioned the existence of the Holy Sky Tree series to anyone else. Or did Purlivia see this monster somewhere else?

Xuefeng pursed her lips and couldn't help asking, "I am indeed planning to perform a Link Summon, but how did you know?"

"Because Link One essentially adds an effect box below a single monster," Purlivia said calmly. "If you want to make a Normal Monster with no effects useful in a deck, you can either use it as a Tuner to be Special Recruited for a Synchro Summon, or... as material for Link One to add effects. Of course, there are also various Magic Traps that can be used to deal with Normal Monsters, but in those cases, the Normal Monsters are generally not too bad. The Holy Seed Earth Spirit on your field is obviously not one of those types, right?"

Indeed, the attack power of the Holy Seed Earth Spirit is 0, so it is difficult to expect it to beat others by using stickers such as skill extraction.

"I see." Xuefeng felt relieved when he knew that the other party did not understand his deck.

Although she has the determination to become the Duel King, she actually has a clear understanding of herself.

I am not strong now.

However, as long as I rely on the information gap and operation of the deck...even if I am not very strong, I still have the possibility of winning!

and so……

"I set the Holy Seed Earth Spirit on the field to the Link Marker!"

Xuefeng stretched out his hand and shouted, "The summoning condition is one Plant-type monster below level 4! Link Summon!"

"Come out! Young Spirit of the Holy Sky Tree!!!"

Along with the cry of the snow wind, a lush tree rose from the ground and appeared in front of her.

[Holy Sky Tree Young Spirit Land/Plant LINK1 atk: 0]

"This is the first time I've seen such a connected monster. Is this the secret weapon you prepared?" Purlivia said with slight surprise as she looked at the monster in front of her. Although she had long guessed that Xuefeng would summon a connected monster that she had never seen before, when she really saw it with her own eyes, she still felt a sense of novelty in her heart.
