Chapter 66 The main match begins

The week flew by.

During this period of time, Xia Qing was not idle either.

First, we uploaded the card list on the website, and then we cooperated with the TV station to record a set of promotional videos.

In the video, Xia Qing is wearing a red jacket and a baseball cap, cosplaying as Little Red Riding Hood in the game.

The brim of the hat covers his eyes, and I have to say, he really has the temperament of a calm and expert.

"You have a very good sense of the camera," the cameraman gave him a thumbs-up and said, "Next, please summon the ace monster in your deck."

Xia Qing was wondering whether he should summon the Light Chariot, the Visit, or the Fierce and Hungry Poison Fusion Dragon in order to maintain his image as a master.

But in the end, he decided to face his true heart.

On the duel board were placed the Silent Magician, the Teaching, the White Saint, the Knight, the Demon Eye, and the Crystal Witch.

The witches, some gentle and cute, some elegant and beautiful, gather around the duelists, just like a Sakura-land anime with an alternate world theme.

Xia Qing could clearly see that the corner of the photographer's mouth twitched.

But then a light flashed in his eyes again. Although it was different from the expected style, it seemed to be a highlight as well.

In the face of the monotonous and oppressive monsters, Xia Qing's promotional video instead gives a refreshing feeling like a spring breeze.

As the warm-up video was released.

Xia Qing's unique style quickly attracted a lot of attention, in stark contrast to the coldness of other contestants' videos.

"This guy is really brave. Others have dragons, machines, and monsters, but he is the only one with six sister cards."

"envy, jealousy, hate."

"I had no interest in watching it. Does anyone know which games he's playing?"

"It's just grandstanding. I don't believe he can really win the game with these monsters."

"The idiot above probably doesn't even know the effect of the card."

"Yes, from what I have observed, this player's lineup is at least in the top five among the players in the competition."

On the day of the competition, Xia Qing washed up and took his father's car to the competition venue.

Because of his repeated reminders, Father Xia remained sober at the critical moment and saw the possible hidden dangers in the contract.

In addition, his son was about to participate in an important competition, so he returned home early.

The future seems to have really changed because of Xia Qing's time travel.

The opponents in the first round of the main competition are randomly drawn by the system.

However, whether this randomness is true or false is unknown.

Anyway, the favorites to win the championship are basically staggered, and they will only meet in the quarterfinals or even the semifinals.

Xia Qing is not a favorite to win the championship. If he aims to win the championship, he may have to go through many tough battles.

The matches in the first few rounds were not played one by one because there were many matches.

Instead, multiple shows will be held simultaneously, and the TV station will only select one or two for live broadcast.

Long and boring opening ceremony.

One after another, unknown TV station and city leaders took to the stage to speak, and their formulaic speeches made people sleepy.

Just when Xia Qing was yawning and about to fall asleep, the competition finally officially began.

"Please enter the arena, duelists."

Xia Qing was assigned to the first session in the morning.

But it was not a live broadcast, so he was obviously not qualified to be the protagonist of the opening game.

Father Xia encouraged: "Fight well, don't feel stressed, you will be fine."

On the sidelines, he greeted Xia Ze, Wang Lin, Song Ya and others.

Under his guidance, Song Ya also entered the main competition, but her competition was in the afternoon.

The rest of the class had been wiped out, and there was no telling how far she could go with her set of witchcraft.

"Please invite contestant Xia Qing from the 37th Middle School and contestant Li Yalun from the Foreign Languages ​​Middle School to the duel stage number three."

Listening to the instructions coming from the radio, Xia Qing took a deep breath.

The stage was packed with audiences, and although their attention was not mainly on Xia Qing, he still felt the pressure.

He pressed down the brim of his hat and walked towards the duel stage with a firm step. When it came to the main competition, everything became formal, and even the duel stage used a lot of AR technology.

The moment Xia Qing stepped into the duel area, it seemed as if he had penetrated an invisible membrane.

Looking outside again, it was as if there was an extra layer of filter. I couldn't see the faces of the audience outside clearly, nor could I hear their shouts and cheers.

Basically, the possibility of the audience giving hints to the contestants is eliminated.

Xia Qing looked at his opponent.

He looks like a mixed-race boy, with light golden hair and wearing a well-fitting black casual shirt, exuding a bit of British gentleman's aura.

He recalled the information he had researched beforehand.

"Li Yalun, Fallen Angel deck."

Xia Qing didn't pay much attention to other things. A mere fallen angel was not worth any further thought.

Xia Qing lowered his head and inserted the card deck into the duel disk.

Immediately, a naughty cat head with its tongue sticking out appeared on his duel disk.

"Lena?" Xia Qing was startled and was about to cover her face with her arms, but the cat's expression flashed and turned into the words "Come on".

Fortunately, this scene was not noticed by other people, so it was a close call.

But Xia Qing still felt warm in her heart.

With so many people supporting him, he must win.

"The coin is heads. Please choose first or last, Li Yalun."

The opponent smiled at Xia Qing and said, "I won't be polite if I take the initiative."

He is as polite to others as he looks.

"You go first." Xia Qing spread his hands and replied.

The duel begins.

The opponent turned over a card and presented it to Xia Qing.

"Activate the Spell Card 'Fallen Angel' and add a 'Fallen Angel' card to your hand. I choose to search for 'Fallen Angel - Subobia'."

The prototypes of fallen angels all come from Western mythology.

There were so many messy English names that Xia Qing couldn't remember many of them.

It wasn't until he saw the dark hole in the card that he suddenly realized and smiled: "It turns out to be a toilet."

In fact, the real image of Soupopia is a black holy grail.

Li Yalun didn't know yet that Xia Qing had given his monster a strange nickname.

He said to himself, "I activate the effect of 'Fallen Angel Ishitabu' in my hand, discard this card and 'Subavia', and draw two cards."

Seeing that he had drawn a duplicate card, Li Yalun frowned and complained, "Why is there another Jietan?"

He concealed his emotions and played the magic card in his hand, "Activate the magic card 'Fallen Angel's Ring Altar' to revive the 'Fallen Angel' monster in the graveyard."

An altar emerged in the center of the venue, with golden light shining above it, as if it was a stairway to heaven.

The ordination platform is equivalent to the resurrection of the dead for fallen angels.

"You are not allowed to resurrect," Xia Qing put the Western-styled loli in her hand into the graveyard and said loudly, "I discard the 'Room Boy' in my hand, and invalidate the 'Altar of the Fallen Angel'."

The little Lolita in a gorgeous dress rushed to the altar like an arrow.

In a flash, the solemn altar was reduced to ruins under her fierce attack.

Once many operations are materialized, the pictures become inexplicably funny.

"It was a hand trap? Is the intensity so high in the first round of the finals?" Li Yalun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and suddenly felt that the duel had entered a difficult mode.

Just as Xia Qing didn't pay much attention to this fallen angel player, Li Yalun also didn't focus his attention on Xia Qing.

He's just a newcomer using a summoned beast deck, and is said to be a junior high school student who gave the wrong name. What kind of threat can he pose?

He stared at the second card in his hand, "Altar of the Fallen Angel", a card that he had originally disdained, but now it really saved his life.

Although Kaitan has the limitation of "only one card can be activated per turn", the effect of "Yashiki-don" is "activation is invalid" rather than "effect is invalid".

Therefore, the second card in your hand can still be activated normally.
