Chapter 196 Sometimes, the Key to a Reversal Is a Punch to the Ultra Dragon!

Swish——

When Yan Li finished speaking, she suddenly pulled out a card from her deck. It was also a monster of [Magic Ritual], which could search for ritual monsters in the deck.

It seemed that Yan Li had room for a comeback, but in fact, only she knew that she would be forced to end it here.

She had no more resources to search for ritual magic cards.

Is this the only way to go?

Yan Li was annoyed. The league held by the five major duel academies was very valuable. If she could qualify for the competition, she would definitely add a strong and colorful stroke to her resume, and even get the resources of her club.

She claimed to be a genius, but she only felt that she was unlucky last year and lost to her opponent.

But now she realized that in Tiannan Academy, genius might only be the lowest threshold. Those duelists with certain characteristics might have exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.

For example, Lu You's amazing luck...

He could pull any opponent to the gambling table and win by relying on strong luck.

Situations like her and Hao Yong had happened countless times in the college ranking competition. Many senior students were forced to gamble on the failure of the God of Gambling and eventually lost.

It's really unfair...

Yan Li laughed at herself. She knew very well in her heart that there was no so-called fairness in the duel world, only the difference between the strong and the weak.

"I special summoned the [Magic God Ritual - Mandrake Talisman Grass] in the deck!"

Buzz...

The next moment, a simple magic circle appeared in front of Yan Li. It looked very similar to ginseng, but the Mandrake with a sad face appeared in front of her, as if it would scream at any time.

Seeing this monster, Yan Li sighed.

This is her last struggle...

"I activate the effect of [Magic God Ritual - Mandrake Talisman Grass]!"

"If this card is successfully special summoned from the deck, you can add 1 ritual monster from the deck to your hand!"

"I choose to add [Saint Divination - Tarot Light Witch]!"

Swish——

Yan Li directly retrieved the declared monster. So far, all the resources in her hand have been consumed, and there is no possibility of further deployment.

Unfortunately, this mandrake was her final end.

"My turn is over."

At the moment Yan Li announced the end of her turn, because she did not perform the ritual summoning in this turn, the Slime Holy Grail effect was activated, deducting 2500 points of life.

But it doesn't matter.

The whole game was quiet, and Hao Yong couldn't help looking at Yan Li. Their experiences were so similar, it was like looking in the mirror.

He naturally knew that Yan Li's goal was also to qualify for the competition, but...

Stay away from Lu You in the future.

Don't go to the gambling table without some luck.

The college leaders also moved the tense muscles in their backs and leaned back on the backs of their chairs. They could see that the duel had been decided, and one of the places in the college league had also been assigned.

Lu You... may bring unexpected surprises to this year's league.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Lu You slowly drew a card and looked at Yan Li's life value, which was like a candle in the wind. It was quite easy for him to clear it.

"First, I attack and summon the [Death Guide from the Demon World to Reality] in my hand!"

Buzz...

That was a beautiful woman in a professional suit, holding a whistle, with bright red hair tied into wing-like twin ponytails.

When this card is successfully summoned, a 3-star demon monster can be special summoned from the deck. He originally planned to special summon a three-eyed monster, then connect to the anaconda, and fusion summon the Millennium Eyes Naji God.

But now it is obviously not necessary.

"Fight!"

Lu You entered the battle phase without hesitation, and the Thunder Dragon King roared.

"[Thunder Beast-Thunder Dragon King] attacks [Magic God Ceremony-Mandrake Talisman Grass]!"

Boom--

The surging thunder and lightning raged on the field, instantly burning the insignificant Mandrake grass, and then exploded.

"Then, [Death Guide from the Demon World to Reality] directly attacks the opponent's player!"

Click--

The next moment, an old-fashioned bus drove over, and the tour guide smiled and got into the bus, driving the bus towards Yan Li.

After the dull collision sound, her health value dropped rapidly, and the remaining 900 health points were instantly cleared.

Beep——

A harsh reminder sounded, the duel was declared over, the stereo projection was turned off, and all the monsters on the field faded and finally disappeared.

Yan Li stood there decadently. After a long sigh, she turned around and prepared to leave the arena.

She undoubtedly lost this duel.

Whether it was because of insufficient hard power or bad luck, losing was losing, there was no need to find excuses, and there was no room for quibbling.

A moment later...

Another selection match also decided the winner, and the candidates who obtained the last two qualifications were determined.

The college leaders stood up and said to the two people standing in the middle of the arena:

"Being able to pass the trials means you are qualified to represent Tiannan in the college league, but you must not underestimate the enemy. There are also talented and strong people in other colleges, so you must deal with them carefully."

"The goal of this league is naturally to win the championship!"

"You also know that the ranking in the college league will directly affect Tiannan's future planning. Therefore, the college has prepared more generous rewards and is waiting for your triumphant return!"

After that, the college leaders left the arena.

Zheng Qiao said hello to Lu You and prepared to return to his post. As for the details of the league, Liao Yuan would explain it to Lu You and don't let him worry about it.

Not long after, everyone in the arena also dispersed one after another.

The students who qualified for the competition at the same time as Lu You were waving their fists excitedly.

To a certain extent, being able to avoid Lu You and successfully pass the trials is also a kind of luck.

As for what’s next…

It seems like it’s a closed training session, right?

…

The next day, Lu You came to the classroom, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on him. Just as the internal selection competition ended yesterday, the news that the first-year students were successfully selected immediately spread throughout Tiannan.

This is the first time that a first-year student can represent the college in the league.

In the classroom, the students looked at Lu You with admiration and were full of motivation. They hoped that they could be successfully selected during their time in school.

After a while, Liao Yuan came to the classroom.

He was not surprised that Lu You could successfully pass the trial. After all, someone who could be valued by the Dark Duelists would not lose to some students. He already knew this.

At the same time, the college gave him the coaching duties.

Even though Liao Yuan has just joined Tiannan, the experience accumulated in national competitions is beyond the reach of other teachers.

Liao Yuan naturally readily agreed to this request.

He accepted the commission to monitor Lu You's duel, and the position of coach was perfect for him.

only……

A few days ago, the Dark Duelist assigned him a new task. A batch of newly unearthed elf cards were to be transported to Tiannan. He had to find a way to get these cards.

To this end, Dark Duelist even prepared a powerful new deck for him.

But Liao Yuan was still hesitant.

Compared with monitoring Lu You, this task was not on the same level of difficulty. Not to mention that the other party did not provide any information about the elf cards. The security measures for these newly unearthed cards must be quite tight.

He has no experience in stealing.

And if something like this happened right after he joined the company, it would be strange not to blame him.

But that deck is indeed very attractive, and it is indeed worthy enough for him to take risks.

Liao Yuan is still struggling.

drop--

After class, Liao Yuan called Lu You into the office. Since he was the coach, he would relay the game procedures and training requirements to the players.

"Student Lu You, congratulations on passing the internal selection and being able to represent the college in the league."

"You must have heard that I am the coach leading the team."

"Closed training is about to begin. Before that, this is the reward for the final exam. The senior management of the academy specially gave it to me. It seems that they have high expectations for you."

Liao Yuan was not surprised by the attitude of the college's senior officials towards Lu You.

After all, Lu You is still young and there are still many opportunities. The top management of the college will definitely increase investment and focus on training.

Click——

Liao Yuan took out a familiar suitcase, entered the password, opened it, and displayed the neatly arranged cards in front of Lu You.

Lu You looked at the cards saved by transparent card tiles. One of them was the red pit he was most familiar with.

[Cavalry’s Thunder Hammer].

This card is a counterattack trap, and its effect is very suitable for the Hordephin Dragon build.

When a monster effect, spell, or trap on the field is activated, you must pay half of your life points to activate it. The activation is invalid and destroyed.

It can also destroy cards in the same column.

While reducing the health value, there is also the noble three-color Kang. It seems that the senior management of the academy has selected many suitable cards based on his construction.

Lu You nodded, then looked at the other cards.

Placed on the left side of [Cavalry's Thunder Hammer] is a super monster, and its race is dragon. This is...

[Arc Rebellion Ultra Dragon]?

The effect of this monster is quite simple. It adds the attack power of all monsters on the field to itself, and then directly kills it.

Also, if this card has a Dark attribute Xyz monster as Xyz material, it can also negate the effects of all face-up monsters on the field except this card.

It can be said to be a weapon for killing and turning the tables.

However, in order to summon the Hordephin Mad Dragon, it still needs the cooperation of the four-star super [Assault Knight]. This card is not difficult to get, and he can definitely buy it.

Both of these cards are quite expensive...

It seems that the college has spent a lot of money to win the championship.

Thinking of this, Lu You looked at the last card.

Surprisingly, it was an effect monster, and it had nothing to do with the red pit, but whether the effect could be activated depended heavily on luck.

Seeing Lu You's confused eyes, Liao Yuan smiled and said:

"Teacher Zheng Qiao specially chose this card for you. He said this card is definitely suitable for you."

No wonder……

Zheng Qiao did understand his dueling style relatively well.

It is even known that he once redeemed monsters in the same field.

[Power of Mystery 14-Temperance]!

This card is used to save lives. The effect must be activated in the hand. The combat damage you receive will only become 0 once.

And after summoning it to the field, the effects obtained by throwing a coin are also related to halving combat damage.

The power of the secret ritual...

He had redeemed the Hanged Man in Tiannan's card storage room, and he had never seen a monster with the same field since then. It was only now that he was a little curious.

Where is that world where it is invincible and can skip turns...?

He couldn't wait to stop the other person's time.

"Student Lu You, are you satisfied with these rewards?"

"The college's top management has high expectations for you. We hope you can show your due strength in the league and win the championship successfully."

Liao Yuan smiled, but he always felt a little awkward in his heart.

Before he played, the coach would repeat it several times tirelessly, and his ears were worn out with calluses, but who would have thought that after retiring, he would nag a student instead.

It really changes.

I didn't expect that he would become a coach one day.

"Teacher Liao Yuan, of course I am very satisfied with these rewards, but the game still depends on the cooperation between teammates. It is impossible to expect me to beat the opponent alone."

That's right.

Liao Yuan shook his head. From the information he got, the other players were also the best in Tiannan. Some of them even became core members of large clubs before graduation.

Choosing to participate in the college league is also to take the opportunity to enter the club's top management.

Facing these powerful players, Liao Yuan did not mean to relax, but wanted to polish them more strictly.

The five major duel academies are places where geniuses gather. Talents that are outstanding in the outside world may not be worth mentioning here.

Therefore...

If you want to win successfully, you need to work twice as hard.

Liao Yuan: "..."

He didn't know why he was so concerned about being a coach. He was obviously a teacher and just wanted to complete the commission, but now he has other feelings.

Perhaps... this is also a way to make up for regrets.

"Student Lu You, the closed training will start the day after tomorrow. You should prepare spare decks and daily necessities. It may last until the start of the college league."

"By the way, there is no limit to the number of spare decks. You can plan it yourself."

Lu You nodded.

No limit?

It means that you can bring them all to deal with emergencies, right?

Lu You immediately showed a sunny smile.

...

Three days later.

Lu You came to the closed training ground mentioned by Liao Yuan. After swiping the card to enter, he found that the facilities inside were complete. In addition to the large duel field, there were also luxurious dormitory rooms.

And now in the duel field, some people have started training.

Seeing Lu You coming, Liao Yuan came over with the plan in his hand and explained the follow-up arrangements to him.

"Student Lu You, you are finally here. Before assigning dormitories, please meet with other players first."

"I have sent you the training content. If there are any changes that need to be made, please tell me at any time."

Then, Liao Yuan clapped his hands and gathered everyone together.

"This is Lu You, the last player in the league. You will be doing closed training here until the league starts."

"I will use the strictest standards to require you. After all, every detail will affect the direction of the game!"

"And..."

"You are a whole and must be familiar with each other's duel styles. Therefore, before the training officially starts, we need to have a friendly match..."

But before Liao Yuan finished speaking, someone suddenly interrupted:

"Then Mr. Liao Yuan, is there any punishment for losing?"

"It's really boring to have no prizes in the competition."

When his words were interrupted, Liao Yuan's face obviously darkened. He glanced at the player who spoke, but did not reprimand him. Instead, he continued:

"It is indeed possible to have prizes, but gambling cards is absolutely not allowed. I think it's better to..."

"Let the loser clean the toilet for a month, without affecting the training!"

After hearing Liao Yuan's words, everyone's faces suddenly became a little strange.

And the player who just spoke was obviously excited, as if waiting to see the fun.

Papa--

"Then let's start the friendly match now."

"Including today, it's exactly one month."

After saying that, Liao Yuan adjusted the equipment in his hand, replaced the plan with a lottery system, and then drew two people from several people to duel in the friendly match.

Coincidentally, the player who just spoke was drawn.

"Me?"

"Hehe, all right! Since I proposed it, I'll be a teacher. Who is the opponent?"

The next moment, Lu You's name appeared on the other side.

The eyes of the whole audience were immediately focused on Lu You.

A friendly match as soon as I arrived?

This first-year student is really unlucky.

But Lu You suddenly smiled. He opened his suitcase in full view of everyone. With a clatter, a large number of card boxes fell out, all filled with cards.

Each box is a deck.

The others were stunned instantly.

Lu You slowly took out the duel disk and a deck, and then walked to the duel field, ready to have a deeper exchange of friendship.

This...

The student who proposed it just now hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and stood opposite Lu You.

What's the use of having too many decks?

Today I will teach this junior that it's not about quantity but quality!

Ding——

Then, the game start prompt sounded, and Lu You subconsciously made a card-drawing action, and shouted at the same time as the opponent:

"Duel!"
