Chapter 245 Demonic Formation
"Welcome to the Link Arena."

Saito Tomoki walked on the light blue data stream and came to the circular arena. The blue ripples like rolling water turned into the arena for the duel, and Tomoki came to the center of this virtual arena with great anticipation.

Next week will be his first fight in the professional circle.

The Professional Duelist League is the dream stage for countless duelists around the world. After years of unremitting efforts, Tomoki finally came to this largest stage and is about to start a new life as a professional duelist.

The identity of a professional duelist often means fame, status, and large amounts of money and power that are unimaginable to ordinary people.

As a player born in a duel gym, Tomoki is now beginning to feel that the people around him cannot satisfy him.

He needs pressure and challenge!

The online competition of the link system that Haima Group just got recently is a perfect opportunity for him. He hopes to find motivation in this online venue, and it would be best if he could meet some other senior leaders in the professional circle who have also obtained the internal test qualification.

In fact, the target he most wanted to fight was the shining newcomer "Ed Phoenix" in the professional league, a super boss who used a hero deck and maintained a record of winning all the games so far. Only by confronting masters of that level could he better promote his own improvement.

Otherwise, Tomoki felt that as a talented newcomer, it would be difficult for him to lose.

Link the arena to complete the match. Zhishu queries the opponent's ID
Happy Duel?

The image of a young, ignorant boy who is passionate about duels immediately emerged in Zhishu's mind.

He must be a passionate duelist who loves dueling, right?

Of course, all online IDs are virtual, but as a professional player, Zhishu chose to use his real name as his ID. If for no other reason, it just highlights the confidence of a talented newcomer.

The avatars came to the arena, and Tomoki got straight to the point: "Professional?"

You Xuan, who had just logged in, was stunned for a moment, then smiled and confessed frankly: "No."

Tomoki was a little disappointed: "Amateur player?"

"Yeah, yeah, pure amateur."

"Ok."

Eh, it looks like another game of bullying. It should be very boring.

Zhishu unfolded the duel disk: "Come on, you're welcome. Let me test your strength."

It would be a lifelong benefit for you if an expert like me could give you some pointers, Zhishu thought.

At the same time, Keipi also came to the outside of the field to watch.

"Well, the opponent from the beginning is a professional player. Semi-professional."

Keipi checked the opponent's information.

Tomoki Saito, a new player signed in the professional circle, will make his professional debut next week.

After reading it, Keipi suddenly looked at Tomoki with a complicated expression.

This guy has a competition next week, so he won't lose his mind today, right?
"Duel!" x2
【You Xuan, LP 4000】

【Wisdom Tree, LP 4000】

The indicator light on the duel disk lit up, indicating that Zhishu had obtained the right to choose the first and second moves.

The genius boy glanced at the duel disk and said, "I won't slack off just because my opponent is an amateur. It's my turn, draw a card!

Activate the Spell Card 'Ancient Rule' from your hand to Special Summon a Level 5 or higher Normal Monster from your hand!

An ancient scroll appeared in front of him. On the scroll was an image of an "electric-tailed dragon" painted in an ancient style, with golden light surging on the scroll.

"Special Summon a Level 6 Normal Monster from your hand!

The strongest of the demons, the Demon King driven by the Duel King—

——The devil's call!"

The black clouds rolled like a huge whirlpool stirred by invisible hands. Lightning flashed in the clouds like a giant silver dragon flying through.

The body of a huge demon emerged from the black clouds, covered with white bones. It looked hideous under the lightning, and every bone seemed to tell of endless killing and bloodshed.

[Devil's Summons, Attack Power 2500] "Monster of the game," Keipi murmured.

The Devil's Summons, which only requires one sacrifice to summon at six stars, has an attack power of 2500 and is also a popular hitter. It is still a rare card. And now a new evolution form has been developed, and it has been identified by a professional team as having the potential for further evolution.

Of course, most of the trump cards used in the game in the past have now been proven to have the potential for evolution and development.

"Then put a card in the backcourt and the turn ends." Tomoki said.

"Then it's my turn. Draw cards." You Xuan drew two cards. "Cover a monster in the front field and a card in the back field. The turn is over."

Ok?
Zhishu raised his eyebrows, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

That's it?

"Such a gentle duel will teach you a lesson in the cruel professional world. Let me teach you the cruelty of the professional world."

Tomoki smiled confidently.

"Then I'll trouble you for your guidance, senior." You Xuan also said politely.

"Of course. It's my turn, draw a card!"

Tomoki drew a card, then immediately drew two cards from his hand, discarding one to the graveyard and playing the other directly.

"Magic Card 'Cost Reduction'! Discard a card from your hand to reduce the level of all monsters in your hand by 2 points.

Therefore, the level 2 'Thunderbolt Demon - Skeleton Demon' in my hand is downgraded by stars to level , and can be directly Normal Summoned without sacrifice! "

Tomoki held up the card in his hand.

"After a long evolution, the Demon King has transformed into a new form and has arrived as the king who controls thunder.

——The Thunderbolt Demon King - Skeleton Demon, summon!"

Ten thousand feet of thunder fell from the black cloud and exploded on the field. It was almost the same shape as the Devil's summon, but it was wrapped in terrifying thunder. The skeleton was like a suit of armor, and the roar was like thunder.

[Thunder Demon King - Skeleton Demon, attack power 2500]

"As expected, it appears. The demon summoning has evolved." Keipi thought, "Summoning two demons at the same time, this newcomer is not bad."

It's a pity that I met the wrong opponent.

I hope today's duel won't affect his condition for the first match next week.
"Then activate the cover card." Zhishu said solemnly, "Equip the magic 'Rare Silver Armor'!
As long as the monster equipped to this card exists on the field, all card effects of the opponent can only select the equipped monster as the effect target.

I equipped the 'Rare Silver Armor' to the 'Thunderbolt Demon King - Skeleton Demon'!"

"Oh?" You Xuan nodded, holding his chin, "This is an interesting move."

"The effect range of the Silver Armor is not limited to the monsters on the field." Tomoki sneered, "It also includes the monsters in our graveyards and the banished monsters. Now you can't select any of them as the effect targets.

And activating equip magic on a monster on your field is also an action of "taking a target", so it cannot be performed. Even if you want to use equip magic, you can only equip my "Thunder Demon King - Skeleton Demon".

Even if you want to activate 'Resurrection of the Dead', you can't, because Resurrection of the Dead also targets monsters in the graveyard."

Zhishu raised the corner of his mouth and sneered.

You Xuan nodded: "And when 'Thunderbolt Demon King - Skeleton Demon' becomes the target of an effect, it will also trigger an additional effect, right?"

"Heh, you have quite a wealth of knowledge." Zhishu said confidently, "Not bad! When a Skeleton Demon becomes the target of an opponent's effect, it can roll the dice once.

If you roll 1, 3, or 6, that effect is negated and destroyed."

"That means the probability of success is only 50 percent." You Xuan understood.

"Wow, this new guy is something."

Keipi began to look at Tomoki with new eyes.

"In this case, wouldn't it mean that a large number of You Xuan's card usages have been sealed?"
