Chapter 76: The Aftermath of the Visit
"Activate the effect of 'Magician's Twin Souls', send 'Rampage Magic Circle' and 'Galice Moon' to the Graveyard, and draw two cards."
Xia Qing had 4 more cards in his hand at once.
When he saw the "Summoning Magic" that he had failed to retrieve before appear in his hand, he realized that the balance of victory in this duel had tilted infinitely towards him.
"Activate 'Summoning Magic', exclude 'Aleister' and 'Galaxy-Eyes Afterglow Dragon', and Fusion Summon Merkaba."
The images of Aleister and the Afterglow Dragon intertwined and turned into a silver giant driving an iron chariot.
Xia Qing added: "Liberate the 'Dual Souls' and specially summon the 'Silent Magician'."
The tool man's dual souls completed their mission excellently in this game. Their figures disappeared and turned into white-haired witches who walked slowly into the battlefield.
Next comes the combat phase.
Just like in the previous game, discard "Aleister", increase the attack of "Merkaba", and attack "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord".
"I activate the effect of 'Photon Jumper' in my hand."
There was a trace of unwillingness on Shi Xin's face. The cost of activating this card was "skipping his next battle phase", which was obviously not his fighting style.
Xia Qing shook his head and said, "It's useless. The Light Rover effect is activated. Discard the monster card in your hand and negate and banish Photon Jumper."
The battle resumed again, and "Photon Qing" was crushed by the steel torrent for the second time, turning into countless light particles and dissipating.
The opponent only has a 3000 attack "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" left on the field.
Xia Qing couldn't get through this round for the time being, so he could only cast "Sky Dragon Snow Prison" and announce the end of the round.
"At the end of the phase, the effect of the 'Gingerbright Moon' sent to the graveyard this turn is triggered, and a 'Fusion' spell is added to the hand.
"The card I want to retrieve is 'Hyperconvergence'."
Present this quick-play magic to your opponent, and it will be a new turn.
Shi Xin had the "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" in his hand, and facing Xia Qing's iron wall, he had no way to deal with it.
Even though the card he drew was 'Last Hope', a magic card that can make a desperate counterattack.
The effect is to revive two monsters in the Graveyard, and then perform Xyz on the numbered monsters.
But Xia Qing has "Merkaba" and "Silent Magician" on the field, two monsters that can negate magic.
Even if the "Silent Magician" is destroyed, the Merkaba still exists.
As for the price to pay to activate the effect, Xia Qing still has the "Super Fusion" of the open card search in his hand.
Looking at the magic card in his hand, Shi Xin's face darkened, and then he let out a long sigh. Was it true that even the "last hope" would not be passed to him?
"I'm going straight into the battle phase," Shi Xin announced.
"Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon attacks Silent Magician."
At this time, Xia Qing had 3 cards in his hand. The Silent Magician had an attack power of 2500, and was no match for Galaxy-Eyes.
Seeing the giant dragon waving its claws and attacking the delicate white witch, Xia Qing opened the trap in time: "Activate the effect of 'Sky Dragon Snow Prison'."
This "Sky Dragon Snow Prison" directly deprives the opponent of the right to struggle.
Xia Qing smiled and said, "I will revive the Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon in your graveyard. After that, I will banish all monsters of the same race on both sides' fields."
He watched his two Tamashis disappear in the wind and snow, and it seemed that their proud souls were also taken away with them.
But in the end, he couldn't utter the word surrender.
"I end my turn."
His field was empty and the outcome was predictable.
The commentator had already congratulated Xia Qing on her victory in advance: "It seems that Shi Xin has given up struggling. Congratulations to Xia Qing for making it to the quarterfinals."
Xia Qing didn't waste any time and went straight into the battle phase.
The attacks of Demon Eye, Silent Magician, and Merkaba came out one after another.
-
2500, -3000, -3000.
The opponent had previously paid 2000 basic points to activate "Galaxy Sky Soar".
The remaining 6000 health points instantly dropped to zero.
Feeling the slight pain in his body, for some reason, Shi Xin suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of relief. It was as if a long-standing burden had been lifted. If I had to put it simply, it was probably a mentality similar to "more debts than more burdens".
If there is a big mountain in front of you, you will have the urge to climb it.
But if this mountain became two, the desire didn’t seem to be so strong.
“Thank you to both players for bringing us a wonderful game.”
“Although Shi Xin lost two games in a row, we can also see that he showed strong resilience in today’s game.”
“It’s a shame, if it wasn’t for the schedule, he could have gone further.”
The game came to an end during the conversation between the two commentators.
As the referee officially announced the final result of the game, Shi Xin and Xia Qing walked to the center of the duel arena and shook hands in a friendly manner.
Having learned from the last lesson, Xia Qing just touched it symbolically and then withdrew his hand.
However, duelists like Li Yalun whose defenses are easily broken are few and far between.
Although Xia Qing eliminated his Tamashi and used counter cards such as "Ge Bing Li Yue", Shi Xin still maintained the demeanor of a duelist.
"I failed to show you the charm of the Galaxy-Eyes deck. I can only say that I am not strong enough."
Hearing this, Xia Qing twitched the corner of his mouth. Does the charm of Galaxy Eyes refer to the three consecutive hits of the "Chaos Photon Dragon Emperor" with more than 10,000 attacks?
Then he should not taste it.
When Xia Qing walked off the stage, he heard warm applause in the venue and couldn't help but smile.
This feels surprisingly good.
Post-match interview session.
After once again using irresistible words to make the female host doubt her life, a staff member suddenly ran over in a hurry and asked Xia Qing to go backstage.
Xia Qing thought that the matter of summoning the "Access Code Talker" was over.
But the reality is that the influence of Connect 4 Monsters is greater than he imagined.
"Xia Qing, don't be nervous. We are just conducting routine inquiries. We can skip any questions you don't want to answer."
The young man in front of me was wearing casual clothes and spoke in a gentle tone.
However, he sat upright with his muscles clearly defined and tight, and he was obviously an elite trained within the system.
Xia Qing nodded to him and said, "Ask."
"Is your family situation okay? Is there anything I can help you with?" The other party showed goodwill as soon as he opened his mouth.
Xia Qing shook his head. If it was in the past, there might be some explanation, but now with his time travel, everything at home is changing for the better.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the other party officially got to the point: "Do you have any plans to go abroad in the future?"
“Does going abroad to compete count?”
"No, this refers to the tendency to immigrate and settle down long-term."
"No, our country is pretty good."
Although Xia Qing's soul is not from here, China is the place where his body was born after all.
The education and experience he gained in his previous life naturally made him feel more connected to this place.
The young man smiled and nodded, very satisfied with his answer.
What made Xia Qing feel relieved was that the other party did not delve into the source of his card.
He didn't think that the lies he made up could fool the professional in front of him.
"This is my business card. If you have any problems in the future, you can call me."
The young man handed Xia Qing a business card with his name Chen Wei written on it, and he was the neighborhood committee security guard of Xia Qing's community.
Looking at the ink on the business card that had not yet dried, Xia Qing thought to himself, "What the hell? This reaction speed is too fast."
