Chapter 81: eve of the final

A total of four precious jade beasts gathered.

Jiang Xiao had a great advantage in the situation. Even if the monster in the Qi Yuxuan field was a mimic electronic dragon, it was still at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.

It is difficult for a Duel Monster that is individually powerful to defeat a larger force with a smaller one unless it is strong enough.

If Mimic Dragon was a Black Star monster, the scene would be completely different.

But it is not. Excluding that exceptionally powerful combat skill, although its panel data is powerful, it is actually at a disadvantage.

The four precious jade beasts that Jiang Xiao carefully cultivated are naturally all duel-level and have awakened their own combat skills.

"roar!"

The Mimic Cyberdragon doesn't care about being outnumbered.

Its combat principle is to take on as many enemies as possible, and kill them one by one.

Faced with such a large number of Gem Beasts, the Mimic Cyberdragon chose to explode directly.

He opened his mouth and spit out continuously.

Blows of electronic dragon breath blasted out one after another.

Seven consecutive electronic bombardments!

Faced with the outbreak of the Mimic Cyberdragon, even though the number of the Gemmon was large, they had to choose to temporarily avoid the attack.

The jade Pegasus spread its pale golden wings, using the air as a ladder to the sky, and quickly soared upwards.

The cobalt-spiked eagle also flapped its gray-brown wings, but it swooped down from a high altitude.

The bombing of those electronic dragon breaths was not simply aimed at the air or the ground, but was like "rainwater evenly covering everything", sweeping everywhere.

Bang, bang!

Two muffled booms were heard.

The Ruby Beast and the Yellow Jade Tiger failed to dodge the bombing, but they did not break into pieces. Instead, one turned into a lychee ruby and the other turned into a bright yellow gem, and they remained in place.

boom!

In mid-air, the Cobalt Spike Eagle that tried to dive was not spared and turned into a blue-green gem suspended in mid-air.

Although both were damaged, they did not break into pieces, but each left behind a gem.

This gem seems to be the embodiment of the crystallization of their souls.

But there was a commotion in the audience.

No one expected that in just one encounter, Jiang Xiao was almost completely wiped out by the opponent's monster.

Is it possible that even Jiang Xiao is going to lose?

And he also lost to the Jiangcheng player?

Many people became nervous. If that were the case, an unprecedented situation would arise.

The city that hosted the Graduation Cup not only failed to keep the championship at home, but also let contestants from other places win the first and second places. What's more, those two contestants from other places were from the same city!

This was truly unheard of before.

There have been cases where the championship and runner-up titles were won by two teams at the same time, but it is too exaggerated to say that they happened in the same city.

This is still in Bird City!

At this moment, the audience.

Wang Haoyun couldn't sit still any longer and couldn't help but ask, "No way, Su Yu, is he really a player capable of challenging you?"

He really wanted to add, this is too slow.

It is indeed rare to connect the souls of four monsters at the same time, but without actual combat power, it is useless.

"Shut up and watch, this has just begun."

Su Yu was not in a hurry. Seeing his attitude, Wang Haoyun looked at the field with doubt.

Taichung.

But something unexpected happened again.

Jiang Xiao's eyes were blazing, and with his magic power, a magic card flipped over.

A bright red gem emerged, emitting a dazzling red glow.

Under the shining red light, the litchi ruby left behind by the Ruby Beast suddenly shook slightly twice.

Immediately afterwards, a summoning red light shot out, the gem disappeared, and the Ruby Beast reappeared on the scene!

Baoyu's contract!

This Spell Card's effect allows you to Special Summon a Gemmon in Gem Form.

The Ruby Beast thus appeared on the scene, and the moment it appeared—

The remaining two gems also began to shine.

Special effects activated!

When this card is Special Summoned, it can Special Summon all Gem Beasts in Gem State on your side of the field.

"roar!"

"Bah!"

The roar of the topaz tiger and the cry of the cobalt-spiked eagle sounded at the same time.

The two gem beasts return again.

And launch a counterattack the moment of returning.

The topaz tiger roared as it ran, while the cobalt-spiked crystal eagle let out a sharp cry from high above. The cry actually formed sound waves that landed on the mimic electronic dragon first.

A red light flashed in the Ruby Beast's eyes, and a chaotic red light fell from the sky, covering the Mimic Cyber Dragon. This move could weaken its speed by 20% and its defense by 300 points.

Finally, the protagonist, the Jade Pegasus, opened its mouth and spewed out a blue beam of light.

"roar!"

The mimic electronic dragon was not to be outdone, and it spewed out three streams of electronic dragon breath in succession, but both the quantity and quality were inferior to before.

Bang!

Huang Yuhu dodged sideways, dodging a streak of electronic dragon breath as best he could and continued running.

The sound waves of the Cobalt Spire Eagle acted as a disruptor, causing the Mimic Dragon's aim to be inaccurate.

Then, a cyan-blue beam hit the Mimic Cyber Dragon, whose defense had been reduced, leaving a beam hole on its body.

The Cobalt Spike Eagle also dodged two electronic dragon breaths while flying.

It is true that the Mimic Cyber Dragon is powerful.

But apart from the only combat skill, the combat method is too simple.

This is also the disadvantage of almost all White Star cards.

Even for cards that awaken elemental control, the tricks that can be derived from them are very limited.

Qi Yuxuan did not allow the situation to continue to deteriorate. He used his magic power to summon another monster.

This time, the monster is still a cyber dragon-type monster similar to the Cyber Dragon, but it is much smaller in size and more silver-white in color.

【Electronic Dragon Type 2】

Mechanical family, light attribute.

Attack power/1500, defense power/1000.

From this monster, we can see that Qi Yuxuan's cards are very inclined towards the Cyber Dragon deck, but lack the most representative Cyber Dragon.

This is not surprising, it is the Black Star Monster.

At this moment, after appearing, Cyber Dragon Type II flew straight towards the Cobalt Spike Eagle. The opponent's sonic interference was very annoying.

As it flew, the Mimic Cyberdragon also released three more bursts of electronic dragon breath, forcing back the remaining gem beasts that were trying to protect the Cobalt Spire Eagle.

Looking at the flying Cyber Dragon II, the Cobalt Spike Eagle shifted its attack target and launched sonic interference at it.

But it just flew over despite the interference of the sound waves.

The actual damage of this sonic attack is not high, it creates more of a confusing effect, causing the target's attack to deviate.

Cyber Dragon Type 2 doesn't care. It doesn't use the Cyber Dragon Breath trick, but bites!

With its steel teeth wrapped in electric light, it can bite the enemy to pieces.

During the flight, the Cyber Dragon Type 2's aura also rose, and its special effect was activated, temporarily increasing its attack power by 300 points.

Combat skills are also activated at the same time.

Its combat skills are simple and crude, and are of the attack-amplifying nature.

In this way, Cyber Dragon Type 2's attack power increases to 2000 points.

Jiang Xiao was not in a hurry, his eyes were brighter, and a trap card was opened in front of him.

A blue halo suddenly enveloped the Cobalt Spike Eagle.

The chasing Cyber Dragon Type II's electrified teeth failed to bite the Cobalt Spire Eagle, but instead bit the halo, which completely absorbed the energy.

Trap card, Gem Guardian.

This card can only be activated when there are two or more Gem Beasts on your side of the field. Select one of the Gem Beasts and any enemy attacks against the other Gem Beasts will be negated.

Jiang Xiao was trying to lure the enemy into a trap.

The monster he chose was naturally the strongest Jade Pegasus.

Ignoring the opponent's attack, the Cobalt Spire Eagle bit Cyber Dragon Type 2's neck in return.

Immediately afterwards, a cyan-blue beam pierced through the body of the Cyber Dragon Type 2.

Bang, bang!

Two shattering sounds were heard one after another, but one of them was not a true shattering sound.

Huang Yuhu, who had been running on the ground and attracting the firepower of the mimic electronic dragon, was finally killed.

It was also very depressed, and its brothers almost told it that it couldn't fly.

The opponent's monsters all have the ability to fly, and it is like a tiger playing a supporting role.

As for the Ruby Beast, at least it can still act cute and act adorable.

Besides, its combat skills also played a significant role in helping.

Reduces the opponent's Ace Monster's Speed by 20% and its Defense by 300.

That is also a great achievement.

Unlike it, it survived twice and played two supporting roles. Fortunately, it attracted fire this time and made some contribution.

At this moment, the yellow jade tiger turned into a bright yellow gem.

There were exclamations at the scene.

Some of them couldn't understand.

Previously, I thought Jiang Xiao was at a disadvantage, but now it seems that he is calm and composed.

Although there are no particularly powerful monsters on the field, these monsters are extremely strong. They will not break even after death and can return to the battlefield.

What is going on?

After sending the Cyber Dragon II to the cemetery, the Jade Pegasus once again spit out a blue beam of light, but this time, there were a few more black particles in the beam.

That's the destructive particle.

The Jade Pegasus's combat skill is the destructive death ray!

The Cobalt-Spiked Crystal Eagle circled once more, quickly approached the target, and launched jamming sound waves.

As for the Ruby Beast, just as Huang Yuhu thought, it was standing innocently in the corner, acting cute.

That's enough.

It has already played its full role before it becomes cute.

call out!

The Destruction Death Light Hole was about to pierce through the body of the Mimic Cyber Dragon, but before Qi Yuxuan turned around, a trap card was flipped over.

It's that electronic barrier.

This card absorbs one attack from your opponent's Cyber monster and restores that monster to 100% of its battle status.

It can be considered as a protective card for the bottom of the Lacquer Rain Spinning Box, but it has to be used now.

However, the rhythm of the battle was already under Jiang Xiao's control.

Ten minutes later.

Bang!

Blue beams of light were released one after another, piercing through the soul barrier in front of Qi Yuxuan.

Soul value returns to zero.

Qi Yuxuan showed no sign of disappointment on his face. Instead, he praised sincerely, "You're so strong! Not only is your deck's synergy strong, but the monsters themselves also have that team-fighting feel."

"You're not bad either."

Jiang Xiao said, and couldn't help but ask: "Are Jiangcheng's duelists so powerful? If I have the chance in the future, I must learn from them more."

This also comes from the heart.

In today's battle with Qi Yuxuan, he almost played all his cards.

If it were anyone else, there would be no way they could dissolve his first wave of gem beasts so quickly.

"Isn't it?"

Qi Yuxuan's eyes lit up, and he nodded with his hands on his hips as if relieved, "I also think that he is a little too strong. The Black Star Monster is too exaggerated."

She was not bragging, but she was shocked when she saw Lin You use the Black Star Monster in the competition that day. She thought it was quite powerful, but she was not sure whether the dueling geniuses in other cities were also so strong.

If this is true, then she might really be negative for a while.

Qi Yuxuan knows herself too well; her negativity is different from that of ordinary people.

Most people are negative and will appear very depressed. They don't want to say anything, do anything, or eat anything.

She is different. Her way of dealing with negativity is to eat as much as she wants.

She doesn't care about eating a lot.

But grandpa would probably scold her again for being rude and having no awareness of being a girl, especially a pretty girl. It was a waste of her beauty.

It's a waste and a crime!

But fortunately, look, the genius of Bird City also said so.

This shows that Lin You is indeed incredibly powerful and is not an ordinary genius.

The end of this game also marked the end of the semi-finals.

The audience in Bird City could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the duel was a bit difficult, Jiang Xiao won the game anyway.

Wang Haoyun, who was sitting in the guest seats, also felt relieved. Although Jiang Xiao was a student of Pengyue High School, if Jiang Xiao was defeated, the official website of their Tianyu High School would probably be further destroyed.

Now that we have entered the finals, those who bombarded the official website will at least calm down a little.

If he wants to explode again, he has to wait until at least the finals.

If Jiang Xiao can win the championship, the trouble will be eliminated.

But when he thought of this, Wang Haoyun showed a bitter smile on his face.

To say that Jiang Xiao won the championship is simply deceiving oneself.

It's just a comfort to my heart.

Anyone who can truly understand a duel knows this.

In today's duel, Jiang Xiao has tried his best.

But based on what has been shown now, defeating Lin You cannot be included in the topic of discussion at all.

What we should discuss is how long Jiang Xiao can last in Lin You's hands?

Forty minutes?

Or longer?

With the synergy of his deck, he can indeed last for a long time.

But what's the point?

"You still have to lose."

Wang Haoyun had a sad face and lay on the table in front of him.

Su Yu ignored him and was thinking about something else.

After all, the runner-up is a student from Pengyue High School, so it’s okay for the trolls to be a little more tolerant, right?

If you want to criticize, go criticize the top 16 contestants next door.

Well, no problem.

"Ah, I lost."

Returning to the preparation area, Qi Yuxuan sighed in a fake manner when he saw Lin You looking at him, then smiled and said, "The championship match is depending on you."

"certainly."

Lin You agreed readily, as that was what he had ordered.

At this time, Jiang Xiao also looked over and said, "As I said before, I will try my best. It's impossible to win the championship easily."

Lin You said leisurely, "That would be best."

With Jiang Xiao's abilities, he is just right for Baphomet's training.

The Black Star Monsters produced by the Card Roulette have a significant reduction in mana consumption, but they no longer start at the Duel level like the White Star Monsters.

Lin You can be sure that Baphomet is not a duel-level monster because black star monsters are different from white star monsters. They need to be trained to the duel level before their skills can be awakened.

Once a Black Star Monster reaches the Duel level, it can awaken its combat skills on its own.

Baphomet does not come with awakening skills, so it is not duel-level.

If you want to train your cards to duel level, battle is the best catalyst.

The semi-finals ended.

That night, Du Xiaofei called him and Liu Jun and found a roadside food stall to treat them to a meal.

It’s not that the little fat guy can’t afford good food, but he just likes this kind of food.

Lin You and Liu Jun didn't care. If someone invited them to dinner, they would just eat it.

The three of them were eating kebabs and chatting when suddenly an excited voice came from the street.

"Hey, sisters, look, isn't this Lin You?"

"Really, wow, the real person is so handsome."

"It's so cool! I'm so moved that I'm about to cry."

The voices of two girls rang out again.

Lin You couldn't help but put down the iron skewer in his hand and looked over. Sure enough, he saw three girls who were about seventeen or eighteen years old. They were staring at him as if they had discovered some rare treasure.

"Hi, how are you guys?"

Lin You greeted them with a smile, and asked curiously, "Do you know me?"

"Uh-huh."

The slightly tall girl with glasses in the middle nodded repeatedly, while the two people next to her were so engrossed that they were speechless.

The only girl who remained calm, the girl with glasses, quickly said, "It's like this. We're actually contestants from Jiangcheng, just like you. However, we're not as good as you. We were just joining in the fun, and we were eliminated right after we made it to the main competition."

"Ah, Xiao Rui, did you make it to the main draw?"

At this time, a petite girl nearby heard this and said in a daze: "I remember that you seemed to have lost the preliminaries just like us. I was in the first game, Ayu was in the second, and you were in the third..."

“Ahhh.”

Who told you to describe that kind of thing in such detail!

The girl with glasses suddenly turned red as if painted by the sunset, and her whole face was hot. She suddenly bowed, then took the hands of her two sisters and left as if escaping.

Halfway through the run, he turned around and shouted, "I'm so sorry to bother you."

"Lin You."

Du Xiaofei, who had been watching the scene silently like a bystander, suddenly said, "Are all the girls in Jiangcheng so interesting?"

"I guess so."

Lin You smiled silently, didn't care, and continued eating.

The championship match is tomorrow, and I’m a little nervous. I need to rely on eating to express my emotions.

It’s not that I’m worried about losing.

But I don’t know whether winning this championship will trigger a new series of achievements.

If not, it would be a big loss this time.

If you don’t make a profit, you will lose money!

Lin You believed that this time he would definitely be able to trigger a new series of achievements. Wouldn’t it be a loss if he failed to do so?

at the same time.

In a small restaurant.

In front of a table, a middle-aged man was smiling, and sitting opposite him was Jiang Xiao!

After a while, several home-cooked dishes were served together.

This restaurant is not crowded, but the food tastes very good, despite its poor location.

Jiang Xiao often comes here for dinner, and the middle-aged man came here after hearing the news.

He is the organizer of this year's Bird City event. He doesn't hold any position and just spends his days doing odd jobs, but he has barely become a one-star duelist.

The middle-aged man said with a smile, "Come on, Jiang Xiao, the food is here. Eat first. If you want anything else, just tell me and order whatever you want."

"If you have anything to say, just tell me."

However, Jiang Xiao had no intention of picking up his chopsticks. The other party inexplicably offered to treat him, which was like being too attentive for no reason and obviously had ulterior motives.

As for why not leaving?

What a joke. He came here to eat. He should be the one who has some self-awareness and leaves.

At this moment, seeing that this seemed difficult to trick, the middle-aged man simply stopped forcing a smile.

If he hadn't been assigned a mission by his superiors, he wouldn't have bothered to come and play nice with a kid who just graduated from high school.

"Then I'll be frank."

The middle-aged man said, "In tomorrow's match, I hope you can defeat that kid from Jiangcheng and keep the championship in Bird City."

"You don't have to tell me that."

Jiang Xiao said calmly: "I will naturally do my best."

"Full strength?"

The middle-aged man suppressed a sneer and said, "Frankly speaking, although you are very strong, it is unlikely that you can deal with his black star monster."

"So what?"

Jiang Xiao remained calm and said, "This will not affect my determination."

The middle-aged man was a little annoyed. Do you have any idea, little brat?

Return your determination?

Your determination is as useless as a winter melon peel!

Resisting the urge to slap Jiang Xiao to death, the middle-aged man said impatiently, "Determination is a good thing, but it takes more than determination to defeat him."

As he said this, magic power flashed in the middle-aged man's hand. He took out a card from his duel gloves, placed it on the dining table, and slid his finger in front of Jiang Xiao.

The card looked ordinary, but Jiang Xiao just stared at it for a moment and felt his soul tremble slightly.

Jiang Xiao's face changed drastically. He seemed to know the reason for this soul-shaking feeling.

"impossible."

Jiang Xiao suddenly flew into a rage and said, "If you want me to win the competition by cheating like this, I'd rather withdraw. Don't come to me again. I don't want to waste time talking to you."

After saying that, he turned around without hesitation and quickly left the restaurant.

I'm not afraid.

But I feel disgusted.

The face of a middle-aged man.

He didn't want to watch it for even a second.
