This trainer has no moral principles

At this moment, You Zhi said, "I launch 'Hammer Strike'!"

A huge wooden hammer appeared above the Minotaur's head and fell rapidly with a huge shadow.

If it were in good physical condition, with its agility, the Minotaur could easily dodge the hammer before it landed. However, its hind legs were stumbling, and it couldn't even roll over. It could only watch the heavy hammer fall and explode into spiritual particles with a "bang".

"You grasped the timing very precisely, maximizing the power of this destruction spell card. Combined with your previous performance, you have passed the six-badge standard."

Ah Si praised again and looked at You Zhi with admiration. Whether as a trainer or a martial artist, he was very satisfied with the other party's performance.

You Zhi raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean we don't have to continue fighting?"

Gym leaders have a lot of discretion. If they feel that the challenger's strength meets the standards, they don't need to abide by the original rules. It is more reasonable to leave time and Pokémon to other challengers.

Of course, in order to appear to be doing something, you can also send out a weak elf to go through the motions, so that others cannot find fault with the procedure.

"Of course not! As a trainer, you should strive for excellence and constantly challenge your limits. Only in this way can you become a strong person standing at the top!"

Songye might have done the same, but Ah Si believed that strict teachers produce excellent students. The more he liked the person, the higher the standards he would hold them to. His eyes flashed and he drew a Pokémon card from thin air.

"The tail of death tears the earth apart, the ultimate fist shakes the sky, and as a dominant force, it brings deep tremors to all things. Come, Lord of OZ!"

In a flash of light, a three-meter-tall green-skinned koala appeared on the field. Unlike its lazy and cute counterparts, this koala was covered in muscles, wearing red boxing gloves and red boots. There was a vertical scar on his left eye, which added a bit of ferocity. His left arm was raised high, revealing thick armpit hair that exuded male hormones. He swung his thick kangaroo tail, splashing a column of waves into the sky.

[Lord of OZ (9 stars) Land]

[Pedigree: Fighting]

【Level: 45】

[Attack power: 4200 (4200)]

【Defense Strength: 3700 (3700)】

[Orc, Fusion: Giant Koala + Death Kangaroo]

Youzhi used the plug-in to take a look and found that this Pokémon did not have any fancy features, it was simply strong, and its racial value was close to that of the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.

He thought about it and chose to summon the Gem Knight Quartz. Then the elf characteristics were triggered, consuming vitality to automatically refine a permanent fusion spell card.

"I activate Dispersion Fusion, combining the splendor of the moment with the solidity of eternity. The light of knighthood blooms upon the battlefield, and I emerge from the earth! Jewel Knight Lady, Rose Diamond!"

The Gem Knight Rose Diamond, who had not been summoned for a long time, appeared on the scene with a rapier in hand, her whole body emitting a crystal light. Facing the powerful and oppressive opponent, she did not show any fear.

At the same time, Quartz's second characteristic is activated. When it evolves into a fusion form, it restores its own star-level vitality and replenishes the vitality previously consumed.

Ah Si praised, "Nice vision, but fighting spirit alone isn't enough. Stats are sometimes useless, but sometimes they can become an insurmountable obstacle. I activate 'Counter Machine Gun Punch'."

【Permanent Magic: Counterattack Machine Gun Fist】

[Effect: If the defense of the attacked monster is higher than the attacking monster's attacking power, the attacking monster is destroyed.]

You Zhi saw the effect, but didn't care, and ordered Rose Diamond to attack.

The Rose Diamond Sword raised its tip and charged forward, using the fairy-like playfulness, and the rapier shook out one sword flower after another.

The Lord of OZ shouted in a deep voice and countered with a series of punches. The heavy punches collided with the sword at high speed, and the burst of energy exploded into waves in the pool.

Neither side gave in. The Lord of OZ had an absolute advantage in strength, but he was restrained by the fairy system in terms of genealogy. The strong and the weak offset each other, and for a while they were evenly matched.

"No trigger?"

Ah Si took a look at the "Counter Machine Gun Fist" that had been launched and felt confused.

Yu Zhi kindly explained, "The property of the Rose Diamond is to protect the Gem Knight on the field from being destroyed by effects."

He didn't tell the whole story, there is actually a limit of once per round.

Therefore, after the head-on confrontation, Rose Diamond decisively retreated, kept some distance, and moved in circles around the opponent. It looked like she had finished the test and wanted to find the opponent's flaws so as to launch a formal attack, but in fact she was delaying the cooling time.

This was the first time Ah Si encountered the Gem Knight Rose Diamond. Not knowing the details, he was inevitably misled and thought that the spell cards he specially prepared had wasted his spiritual power. He was a little frustrated for a moment, but this was not an important game after all, so he quickly composed himself.

"Gem Knight's Pokémons are all Rock-type, and she has an additional Fairy-type, so her weaknesses are Water, Grass, Ground, and Steel, which is a double counter... Use Heavy Impact!"

Heavy Impact is one of the few steel-type skills mastered by the Lord of OZ, and the heavier the weight, the greater the power.

The big green wombat raised its arms and rushed towards Rose Diamond with a rumble, creating a straight wall of waves.

"Don't be afraid, go for it!"

Yuzhi ordered the elves to attack while activating the spell card "Micro Ray".

Under the illumination of the strange light, the Lord of OZ's body size was reduced to half of its original size, the power of his heavy impact suddenly decreased, his defense was temporarily reduced to zero, and his "Counter Machine Gun Punch" lost its effect.

Rose Diamond used Playful once again, charging forward with the sword. The two sides collided with each other without a second thought, their restrained skills colliding with each other, splashing waves in an instant, and both of them were seriously injured and flew out.

Chapter 191: Unpopular Target Card

Rose Diamond suffered the impact of double restraint attributes, while Lord of OZ suffered the double blow of restraint attributes and 0 defense, which made them a draw. However, Rose Diamond itself has fairy attributes, and there is a power bonus when using the same series of skills. Lord of OZ does not have this advantage, which affected the result.

The Rose Diamond that was knocked away had some of its impact offset by the water flow. It turned around gracefully and landed steadily on the ground. The Lord of OZ tumbled around in the pool for several times like a rolling gourd before getting up with difficulty.

Ah Si didn't care much about the defeat this time. He just shouted encouragement: "Don't be afraid, show your perseverance!"

The Lord of OZ nodded, bumped his fists together, his eyes grew more ferocious, and he charged again.

"Breaking Waves!"

At the same time, Ah Si combined his waist and horse and delivered a standard sun-shaped punch. Immediately, a goose-shaped wave column rose from the water in front of him and rushed forward, and its size became larger and larger. When it rushed in front of Meizuan, it was more than two meters high, completely blocking her sight.

However, the wave column itself was not very powerful. Rose Diamond swung her sword and easily cut it in half. But the Lord of OZ took the opportunity to get close to her and punched her wildly. Rose Diamond responded hastily and was suppressed and forced to retreat step by step.

Since Ah Si had taken action, You Zhi naturally had to fight back. He kicked forward with his right leg underwater swiftly but with a small amplitude, and a hidden force attacked the Lord of OZ.

Just like the Minotaur Centaur before, the Lord of OZ, who was hit, had his legs bent and was about to lose his balance, but he used his tail to support his body like a kangaroo, and then his forehead flashed with metallic luster, and a steel-type "iron head" rushed forward, directly breaking through Rose Diamond's defensive posture, injuring it and knocking it away.

At this time, the effect of the "miniature light" faded, and the size of the Lord of OZ gradually grew larger and returned to its original size.

The tide of victory and defeat seemed to have suddenly turned.

Youzhi thought, why not just use the strong and weak mimicry to simulate the physique of the psychic Pokémon, and then use a mental power to strengthen this green-skinned koala.

But wouldn’t that be a bit too direct?

He thought about it carefully and gave up this tempting plan.

Although there are humans like Ah Si in this world who are stronger than ordinary elves, they only use physical forces within the scope of common sense. People with special abilities like Songye only use their abilities for divination. If he shows such a skill, it is unlikely that he will be caught and sliced, but it is a foolish dream to want to keep a low profile.

After all, if it was a life-or-death battle, he would be exposed, but it was not worth it to reveal his cards in a gym challenge. Even if Rose Diamond lost, he still had a summoning spot and the Angel of Destruction Luin who could make a comeback.

After finishing his calculations, Youzhi decided not to do anything fancy and to play it safe to win the duel.

So in the following battle, he let Rose Diamond fight on her own and fight with the Lord of OZ to her heart's content, and he was only responsible for preventing Ah Si from intervening in the battle - it's not that he didn't think about attacking the Lord of OZ, but the other party was thick-skinned and didn't care about ordinary means of attack at all.

Of course, Youzhi did not forget to use "Magic Removal" to destroy the opponent's counterattack machine gun punch.

Ah Si immediately realized that the characteristic of Rose Diamond was definitely not what the other party said, "not destroyed by effects", otherwise there would be no need to destroy this spell card. However, the matter was already done, and even if he guessed this, there was nothing he could do.

In the following battle, the two elves used their abilities to the fullest and displayed all their skills. The scene was even more exciting than before, drawing cheers from the onlookers.

Rose Diamond and Lord of OZ each have their own advantages, but the latter is of a higher level and has advantages in attack, defense, and health, which gradually became apparent after a fierce battle.

At the last moment, Rose Diamond was exhausted and could no longer withstand the attack of the Lord of OZ. She was knocked down by a punch from the opponent. The Lord of OZ did not show any mercy. His thick tail flashed with metallic luster and he swung out with an iron tail to deliver the finishing blow.

Yu Zhi immediately activated the Soul Accumulation Spell Card that had already covered the field: "I activate 'Absorption Shield', negating one of the opponent's attacks and restoring health equal to the attack power!"

This is a card associated with Qixi Yihao. When Qixi Yihao is on the field, he can not only block combat damage, but also block effect damage. It has no effect on the current situation.

A round shield appeared in front of Rose Diamond, emitting a light curtain that enveloped Rose Diamond, waiting for the opponent's attack.

With the Lord of OZ's terrifying attack power of over 4,000, it would be enough to restore Rose Diamond to its peak in one go. Naturally, Ah Si could not agree to this.

"Don't even think about it! I activate 'Notice from the Palace' to negate all Soul Spell Cards on the field except this one!"

With a rumbling sound, a majestic palace wall appeared on the playing field, emitting an invisible force of restriction. The absorption shield dissipated on its own under the influence of this force.

There is such a powerful restricted spell card!

You Zhi was shocked and took a look at another spell card covering the field. It was "Bright Fire". He had originally planned to use this soul-storing spell card to force the Lord of OZ into the water if Rose Diamond was defeated, but now it was blocked.

If it were a card duel, perhaps there could be a chain activation and the last one to activate would be the first to arrive, but there is no such rule in the Elf Duel. Whoever activates faster will have their card take effect first. If they activate at the same time, the level of the spell card will be considered, and the one with the higher level will have priority.

However, with this incident, the Lord of OZ was inevitably affected and hesitated in his attack, giving Rose Diamond a chance to catch her breath. She immediately rolled sideways, avoided the opponent's iron tail, and barely saved her life.

However, the unfavorable situation did not change because of this. Rose Diamond kept her distance, dodging left and right, not daring to come into contact with her opponent. It seemed that this only delayed the outcome of her defeat a little.

"To disrupt the 'Announcement from the Palace,' I can only use instant spell cards, but I still haven't obtained the universal spell card 'Whirlwind,' so I don't have any cards on hand that can... Wait, there seems to be a card that might be useful!"

You Zhi quickly recalled the spell cards he had mastered.

For those professional trainers with huge inventories, it is not an easy task to recall all their spell cards, and it is even more impossible to do so in battle, otherwise by the time they finish recalling, the opportunity will be lost.

However, Youzhi had mastered less than fifty spell cards so far. After excluding those he usually used, there were less than half left. He locked onto the target in an instant and started to refine it immediately.

He was not worried that the Rose Diamond would not be able to hold on, because it was an E-level card of unknown significance, consumed very little energy, and was successful in less than ten seconds, so he activated it immediately without any hesitation.

"I activate 'Double Trap' to destroy a card with the effect that negates the effects of Soul Spell Cards!"

Because it sounded a bit confusing, Ah Si took a while to react: "What the hell! Is it so targeted? No... why would you have a card like this!"

Chapter 192 The Sixth Badge

Actually, what Ah Si should really complain about is not "Why do you have this kind of card?", but "Why would you think of using this kind of card?"

Because if he checked his card library, he would find that he also had this card, but he had not used it for more than 20 years since he obtained it through random summons, and had long forgotten about it.

This is not surprising. The number of spell cards used by a trainer in a duel generally does not exceed twenty, and the number of commonly used cards does not exceed eighty. The other cards are a great test of memory ability.

Cards like "Double Trap" have serious limitations and very mediocre effects. Unless you leave a deep impression and can recall them instantly like a conditioned reflex, when you see them, you will only doubt whether such a card exists in the world.

If Ah Si were in You Zhi's situation and encountered his opponent using "Notice from the Palace", the first thing he would think of would still be to use the general card "Whirlwind" to break it. Although "Whirlwind" is a C-level card and requires more spiritual power and time to refine, it might be more efficient.

Actual combat is not like playing games. There is no extra time for you to think slowly. Even if you give the trainer a card search engine, by the time he finishes typing, the opportunity to activate the card may have been missed. Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, commonly used cards that do not require careful thinking are more reliable.

But no matter how shocked Ah Si was, You Zhi finally destroyed the "Notice from the Palace" before Mei Zuan was forced into a desperate situation.

Without any verbal instructions, Rose Diamond, who possessed a tactical mind, understood what was meant and immediately launched an attack, using up her last bit of strength to deliver a dignified blow to the Lord of OZ.

Just as Rose Diamond's spiritual power was exhausted and her figure dissipated, You Zhi activated the "Bright Spark" that he had prepared for a long time.

A huge diamond appeared on the field and then broke. The shadow of a rose diamond flew out from it, emitting the brilliance of gems all over its body, and stabbed the opponent swiftly with a rapier in hand.

Bright Sparks does not deal damage by effect, but deals true damage equal to the attack power of the destroyed Gem Knight Elf to the opponent, thus ignoring the target's defense. The attack power of Rose Diamond is 2700!

This kind of attack was impossible to block, and the Lord of OZ could only face it head-on. He roared in pain while being stabbed by the phantom.

Ah Si hurriedly said, "I activate 'Healing God Dean Kate' to restore the Lord of OZ's vitality."

A kind-looking middle-aged woman holding an Anhe cross appeared on the field and cast the light of life on the Lord of OZ to offset the damage he suffered.

"God of Healing" has the highest fixed recovery value among the free pure recovery spell cards - 1000 points.

Ah Si prepared this card just to allow the Lord of OZ to hold on longer. Unfortunately, in the previous battle, the Lord of OZ was also seriously injured. Facing 1700 real damage, he could not hold on and exploded on the spot, turning into spiritual energy particles and spreading out.

The martial arts disciple acting as referee hesitated for a moment, then announced, "The total score is 4:2. You Zhi wins."

Victory and defeat are common in the military. Ah Si quickly composed himself and handed the badge to You Zhi, saying with a hint of regret, "I can sense you're still holding back. It's a shame you weren't challenging for the eighth badge, otherwise you could have fought to your heart's content."

If you get eight badges, you will be eligible to participate in various Pokémon competitions. Although there are no explicit regulations and no identity registration, the world will regard you as a professional trainer.

In theory, gym leaders don't need to hold back when facing trainers challenging for the eighth badge and can fight with all their strength - although in most cases gym leaders will still hold back, after all, their average level is higher than that of professional trainers.

The other party was clearly trying to get closer, so You Zhi naturally didn't show any disapproval and said politely, "In that case, perhaps I should be thankful that I challenged the Azure Gym in advance."

Ah Si took it seriously and thought, "That's not necessarily true. Which two gym badges do you still have left?"

"Uh, there's still Kaji and Yanmo left."

"Then I suggest you challenge Yanmo first. Although Liu Bo of Kaji Gym is very powerful, he may even be the strongest among us, but he likes to support the younger generation and rarely gives people a hard time. Choosing him as the final gatekeeper will give you a better chance of success. The head of Yanmo Gym is not so easy to talk to. Of course, if you want to challenge yourself and break through your limits, you can also put Yanmo Gym last."

"Thank you for your suggestion. I will consider it seriously."

"You're welcome. You're also welcome to come to the gym during your break to exchange martial arts experiences. We often hold internal competitions here."

"Well, I will definitely come to visit you if I have time. I hope you don't mind it."

This is not just a compliment. You Zhi has asked around and found out that most of the famous professional trainers in Azure City are in the gym.

Ah Si advocates that trainers should practice with Pokémon together. Although the requirements are strict and few people accept his teaching, as long as they can meet his requirements, they can basically become successful. It is said that half of the disciples who have graduated have become professional trainers.
