May 29, 2017.
Thursday.
Campus duel arena.
The Phantom Beast King burst out at an extremely fast speed, and with the help of the few remaining chestnut balls, he rushed towards the empty field of Cao Tianchong and took away his soul value.
"Alas, it still doesn't work."
Cao Tianchong sighed lightly. In the past half month or so, he had challenged Lin You several times, but without exception, he failed. The gap was obviously not big, but he could never break through.
It has indeed been some time since Lin You defeated Cao Tianchong for the first time. During this period, Lin You's life has become stable and repeated itself.
Since students in the Duel Class don't have weekends off, Lin You's daily routine is basically as follows:
Wake up → breakfast → morning self-study → duel training → cabin training → go home after school → practice magic → rest.
The seemingly monotonous cycle gave Lin You an unprecedented sense of fulfillment.
Especially when he felt the improvement of his own magic power and the increase in the training progress of the Phantom Beast King, he felt that all this had great significance.
With the help of the Monster Cabin these days, the progress of the Phantom Beast King's skill development has reached 95%. If nothing unexpected happens, we can defeat him today.
These are things to be happy about, but there are also some not-so-good things.
For example, in the past half month, not only Cao Tianchong was frustrated by him, but Lin You also challenged Hu Yu three times, but the results of these three challenges were not ideal.
Hu Yu is stronger than expected. Due to previous training, Lin You has never witnessed Hu Yu dueling with Pei Fei and Deng Yuxin, who are stronger than him, which led to his wrong judgment of Hu Yu's strength.
When fighting against Cao Tianchong, Hu Yu didn't need to use his trump card at all, but when fighting against Lin You, he chose to use his trump card directly, which was uncharacteristically his choice, thus gaining a clear advantage in the duel.
Perhaps because he felt the pressure, Hu Yu planned to use this strong duel posture to get rid of the pressure and tell Lin You that his position would not be shaken because of Lin You.
However, Lin You remained calm from beginning to end. There was still a month left, and this time was enough for him to change many things.
The most intuitive thing is that the Beast King is about to develop his own skills.
The skills developed by duel-level monsters are stronger than Lin You imagined, and Hu Yu's strength is largely based on this.
【Achievement 'Duel Wins (10 Games)' achieved, 'Number of Primary Card Draws' +1】
Lin You, who had just walked out of the duel arena and was planning to watch the subsequent training, suddenly saw this line of subtitles in front of him.
"Finally, there's movement again."
Lin You was overjoyed. Seeing that the Beast King would awaken his skills today, and now he had achieved such a card drawing achievement, it was a double happiness.
Looking around, Lin You thought about it and decided not to draw cards here.
Although he was the only one who could see the card roulette, it was still better to be on the safe side.
Lin You hid this joy until the end of today's duel training session. After entering the monster cabin, his mood changed. He no longer thought about drawing cards, but was curious about what skills the Phantom Beast King could awaken.
According to the order, when it was Lin You's turn, many people looked at him curiously.
They all knew that the training progress of the Phantom Beast King had reached 95%, and that he would be able to awaken his skills today. It was quite worth looking forward to what kind of combat skills he would awaken.
Hu Yu was also staring at the huge display screen, his eyes following the Phantom Beast King running wildly under the moonlight.
The successful awakening of the Phantom Beast King's skills means that Lin You's overall combat effectiveness will be improved to a higher level, and he will be one step closer to his position.
If they were just classmates, Hu Yu would be happy to see Lin You become stronger and his cards awaken more powerful skills.
But since it involves the crucial advanced entrance examination quota, this becomes bad news in Hu Yu's view.
On the display screen, under the moonlight, the Phantom Beast King suddenly stopped, releasing a bloodthirsty red light in his eyes, and a white cyclone was faintly brewing on his outstretched claws.
The cyclone surged quietly, and the Phantom Beast King fixed his gaze on the big tree in front of him, raising his sharp claws with a suddenly rising momentum.
Bang!
Click, click.
The sharp claws tore out, cracking several pieces of thick bark. A large amount of sap flowed out from the inside of the tree that was almost completely penetrated. Only the last piece of tree trunk was left to support it, but after shaking twice, it was completely unable to hold on and broke and fell to the ground.
With just one strike, he pierced through the big tree in front of him.
Judging from the results achieved by this move, its explosive power may have reached around 2,000 points.
Seeing this, Wu Jiayuan nodded and commented: "Very successful."
"Finally it's done."
Lin You smiled and was just about to think of a simple name for the Beast King's move, but a line of brown subtitles flashed before him.
【Achievement 'First Monster Card Awakening' achieved, 'Number of Primary Card Draws' +1】
New Achievement Set!
The smile on Lin You's face grew even brighter. In fact, the reason he was so excited today was not only because of the combat skills that the Phantom Beast King was about to awaken, but also because he had guessed in advance that once the awakening was completed, he would have the opportunity to discover another series of achievements.
As it turned out, his guess was correct.
After retrieving the card and completing today's training, Lin You did not leave immediately. Wu Jiayuan had told him that he could get a box of rice dumplings for free before leaving.
Tomorrow is Dragon Boat Festival, and the duel class rarely has a day off.
He first went back to the duel class classroom, picked out a box of rice dumplings at random, and then Lin You prepared to leave.
When he returned to the classroom, Lin You found that Liu Jun was already sitting in his seat.
"Damn, Lin You, you bought the rice dumplings in advance?"
Liu Jun saw the box of beautifully packaged rice dumplings in Lin You's hand at a glance.
"Buy a hammerhead shark. This is a Dragon Boat Festival gift from the Duel Class."
"Dueling Class also has this benefit?"
Liu Jun was envious, but quickly added, "By the way, Lin You, your duel class should have a break tomorrow, right?"
"yes."
"I haven't been out with you for a long time. There's a very interesting Dragon Boat Festival special event on Chu Street tomorrow. Do you want to go? After the event, we can eat and surf the Internet. I'll pay for it." Liu Jun asked.
"Did I hear correctly? Niu son, have you made a fortune? This is the first time I see you being so generous."
Lin You almost suspected that he had recognized the wrong person.
"Go, go, go, what do you mean?"
"You've already said 'go' three times in a row, how can I still say no? Anyway, you're paying, and I'm eating your food, so I'd be wasting my time."
Lin You didn't have any objections. He had been training every day recently and hadn't had any fun for a while. It would be nice to take advantage of the rest tomorrow to relax a little.
I just wonder if the younger brothers in Summoner's Rift miss his top-level Yasuo.
After agreeing to this, Lin You packed his schoolbag and rushed back home.
As soon as he got home, Lin You took a shower and then sat on the bed with great interest.
It’s time to get down to business!
The card roulette was activated under the drive of Lin You's thoughts. This was the first time that he had two chances to draw, which doubled the pleasure.
Being in the duel class, Lin You has deeply realized how crucial a powerful card can play.
If you want to become stronger, the number and strength of cards are indispensable.
As for the cards that Lin You currently has, apart from the cards he drew, most of the remaining cards are miscellaneous soldiers, like the so-called "transportation" cards before. Only the giant truck can barely be of any use, and this is under the premise of cooperating with the Mechanical Heart.
Lin You also thought about whether he should put some powerful cards on the market.
However, the quality of the cards sold on the market is very average, and they are basically white-level + blank cards.
Of course there are powerful cards, but Lin You can't afford them right now. And even if they are powerful, they are only limited in strength.
Fortunately, Lin You will have the opportunity to break the current predicament through card roulette.
With a thought, Lin You, who had washed his hands and prayed, touched the start button of the roulette wheel.
Click, click, click.
The roulette wheel spun, and the dark blue cursor spun rapidly. Twenty seconds later, the cursor froze.
A card slowly turned over, changing from the back to the front.
Magician's Guardian
Type: Continuous Trap Card
Effect: As long as there is a Magician-Type monster on your field, all damage you receive will be halved.
②: If this card is destroyed, you can Special Summon a Magician-Type monster in your Graveyard.
…
Faced with such a drawing result, Lin You was a little surprised. He didn't expect that what he drew this time would be a trap card, and a permanent trap card among trap cards.
Unlike ordinary Trap Cards, whose effects are usually generated once, Continuous Trap Cards have continuous effects and can continue to work as long as they are not destroyed.
Such a permanent trap card looks good, but in fact, Lin You is a little speechless.
The so-called damage reduced by half only refers to the damage suffered by him as the duelist.
This is reality, not a game. Based on his previous dueling experience, a duelist is basically declared defeated when he suffers direct damage, at least at this stage.
After all, in real-life duels, monsters can't attack only once per round like in games, but can continue to attack when they get the chance.
From this perspective, the Magician's Guard card can only play a role after being destroyed.
Although the drawing result was not ideal, Lin You did not completely deny the value of this card. He knew very well that this card was just not suitable for his current novice duel stage, and the situation would be different in the future.
Without dwelling on this card for too long, Lin You started drawing for the second time.
Click, click, click.
The roulette wheel spun again, and Lin You's eyes were fixed on the rotation of the cursor. Under his gaze, the cursor finally stopped at a certain square, and a card turned over.
“This card…”
Just by seeing the card for a moment, Lin You's eyes immediately showed joy.
The card depicts a stern-faced wizard with long flowing silver hair. She wears a blue and white robe that appears to be condensed from seawater, creating a soft, flowing feel. In her hand, she holds a gorgeous staff inlaid with aquamarine gemstones.
【Silent Magician】
Star rating: White
Attribute: Light
Race: Magician
Attack power: 1000, Defense power: 1000
Special Summon: This card cannot be Normal Summoned with Mana. It can only be Special Summoned by Liberating a Spellcaster-Type monster on your field.
Special effects:
: This card's attack power increases by the number of cards in the deck x 100
②: This card can only be activated when a magic card is activated, and the effect is invalidated (repeated use of this effect costs 2 mana).
③: If this card on the field is destroyed by battle or enemy card effect, you can activate this effect and Special Summon 1 "Silent Magician" monster other than "Silent Magician" from your Deck, ignoring the conditions.
"The prayer finally worked."
Lin You's mood suddenly improved. Just by looking at these three effects, he knew that this would be the most powerful card he had drawn so far.
Although summoning this card requires releasing a Magician-Type monster first, fortunately, Lin You already has a Magician-Type monster in his deck, and that monster is the Black Forest Witch.
Don't forget the special effect of the Black Forest Witch, which can only be activated after being sent to the graveyard, which can naturally achieve a linkage effect with the Silent Magician.
Awesome!
In the end, the joy in Lin You's heart turned into two straightforward words and jumped out.
"Practice, practice."
Suddenly, Lin You became full of energy and started today's magic training without hesitation.
