Chapter 80 Semifinals
Although he showed great confidence during the interview, he also made sufficient preparations in deck construction.
But to deal with Long Huiqiao, you really need a certain amount of luck.
For example, in the first game, if he doesn’t change his sideboard and can’t get the first move, his chances of winning are actually not optimistic.
Haikou had already made a boast, so Xia Qing naturally didn't want to lose the first game.
For the first time, he stared at the coin in the referee's hand so seriously.
The silver coin was thrown high into the air and flipped rapidly in the air.
With a sound of "pia", the referee covered it with the back of his hand.
"Front or tail?" Xia Qing wavered.
But Xia Qing's opponent said without hesitation: "I choose the opposite side."
This legendary devil has an ordinary appearance, the kind that would be hard to find if thrown into a crowd of people.
But he has a unique temperament, and he is extremely confident even when guessing the coin.
Xia Qing couldn't help but wonder if his opponent had mastered some coin-guessing technique.
But after all, there was no evidence, so he said, "Then I'll go for the positive side."
The referee removes his palm, revealing the coin facing up.
Lu Yiming turned his head and uttered two words softly: "What a pity."
Xia Qing's mouth twitched involuntarily. It seemed that he was overthinking.
The other party just guessed an option.
Jiang City, No. 1 High School.
The tiered classroom, which can accommodate a thousand people, is now packed.
After day after day of intense study, this group of senior high school students had a rare opportunity to relax today.
"Everyone, be quiet."
As the principal, who was usually elusive, appeared in front of the podium, the students' noise gradually subsided.
"I am not here to give a lecture today, but to have everyone watch a game played by a senior from my school."
As the principal finished speaking, the students in the audience immediately cheered.
"Is it Lu Shen's competition?"
"I had originally planned to take sick leave to watch the game, but my class teacher exposed my plan."
"Thank you, Headmaster."
The principal looked at the students' reactions and nodded with satisfaction.
This favorite student of his, the pride of the No. 1 High School, the top scorer in the college entrance examination with nearly perfect marks, the genius that all major professional teams are vying to recruit.
I believe his competition will surely inspire the fighting spirit of these senior high school students.
As the live broadcast of the game was projected onto the big screen, the classroom gradually fell silent.
However, when they saw Lu Yiming's opponent, the teachers sitting in the front row could no longer sit still.
Someone whispered, "Isn't this the student from before?"
Their eyes involuntarily turned to the middle-aged woman not far away.
Hu Rong's face was as gloomy as iron, and she felt both regretful and angry.
Seeing Xia Qing's glory on the stage was more painful than killing her.
I can only curse silently in my heart, hoping that the other party will make a fool of himself in front of everyone and lose the game like a clown.
"My first move."
After the machine shuffled the cards, Xia Qing drew 5 cards from the deck.
Just a quick glance and he concluded: "Perfect first hand."
He slapped the scumbag onto the duel disk: "I Normal Summon 'Aleister' and activate his effect."
"Follow the chain and activate the effect of 'Announcer of Vermilion Light'," Lu Yiming said as he threw the card in his hand into the graveyard, "Send this card and an Angel monster to the graveyard to negate it and destroy 'Aleister'."
Aleister was about to cast a spell.
Suddenly, a scarlet beam of light fell from the sky and hit him right on the head.
Ale was severely injured, his body was restrained, and then he broke into countless pieces and dissipated on the field.
There was a burst of cheers in the lecture hall of Grade 1 High School, and Hu Rong's lips trembled with excitement.
"Good job, Lu Yiming," she recalled the game she lost, "Without Aleister, let's see how this kid can produce the Light Rook and the Silent Magician." The principal who was watching saw her excited and nodded, commenting: "It seems that this teacher Hu has a strong sense of honor for our school."
Tong Zhao was called, and Xia Qing frowned slightly.
"Zhu Guang, this is a bit troublesome," he showed another card in his hand, "Send the 'Chaos Fantasy Magician' in the deck to the graveyard, and special summon the 'Magician's Twin Souls'."
"Fortunately there is a special summoning point." Xia Qing patted his chest thankfully.
Zhu Guang's effect is indeed strong, and the destruction is ineffective, worthy of being a one-shot trap.
He said: "Use the 'Magician's Twin Souls' on the field as Link Material and Link Summon LINK1 'Holy Demon Girl'."
The magician's phantom transformed into a girl in a white dress with blond hair and bright eyes.
"Still connected to the 'Holy Demon Girl'?" Lu Yiming asked in surprise, "Do you have some summoning magic in your hands?"
Xia Qing shook his head and said, "Of course not. There is no shortage of light-attribute monsters in your current cemetery, right?"
The "Proclaimer of Red Light" and "Cyber Angel Benten" discarded by the opponent are both light attributes.
The Idelight Car does not need the Holy Demon Girl as a light source.
Seeing that the other party was speechless for a moment, Xia Qing realized that Lu Yiming was not as omniscient as the rumors said. He was also limited by his own knowledge and asked very naive questions.
Xia Qing inserted a magic card into the duel disk and said, "I activate 'Apostle of the Underworld', send the extra 'Ember Dragon·Falling Dragon' to the graveyard, and add 'Saint of Teaching' to my hand.
"And because there is an Extra Monster on the field, 'Dogmatic Saint' can be Special Summoned."
Lu Yiming held his chin up and thought, "So it's to meet the special summoning conditions?
"After using 'Apostle of the Underworld', you can no longer Special Summon monsters, so you need to summon the Holy Demon Girl in advance."
Xia Qing didn't expect that the other party could analyze the reason so quickly.
Can we only say that he is worthy of being called a top student? His learning ability is indeed very strong.
After using the effect of the Saint to retrieve "Punishment of Teaching", Xia Qing activated the second magic card.
"Activate 'Bonds of Compatriots', pay 2000 basic points, and target the 'Saint of Teaching' on the field.
"According to the effect, I Special Summon 2 monsters from my deck with the same level, attributes, and type as the Saint.
"I specially summon the White Saint Ecclesia and the Crystal Sage Sandrion."
Three light magician clan sisters Ka stood side by side on the Xia Qing field, with giant hammers and magic wands on their chests, in a defensive posture.
Xia Ze's eyes lit up in the audience. It turned out to be the "Bond of Brothers". His cousin also had this card.
Even if this card is activated during the turn, the Battle Phase cannot be carried out.
However, since you can't fight in the first round anyway, the only side effect is that you can't Special Summon monsters anymore.
"When 'Crystal Great Sage' is successfully summoned, add 'Book of Three Sages' to your hand."
Xia Qing took out this continuous magic from the deck.
"Cover two more cards to end the round."
One is "Super Fusion" and the other is "Punishment of Teaching" retrieved by the Saint.
However, these two cards cannot be used at will.
After activating "Punishment of Dogma", it will cause the self-restraint of "unable to Special Summon Additional Monsters", so "Super Fusion" must be used before "Punishment".
At the end of the turn, the effect of "Ashe Dragon·Fallen Dragon" in the graveyard was triggered, and Xia Qing added another "Knight of Dogmatika" to his hand.
In this way, the operations that Xia Qing can perform during the opponent's turn are: "Super Fusion"; "Punishment" to throw "Old God" to explode two; invalidate the special summon of "Knight"; and release the "White Saint" to jump "Demon Eye".
"My turn, draw a card."
Lu Yiming raised his head and glanced at Xia Qing's field.
"Activate 'Electronic Emergency SOS' and add a 'Cyber Dragon' or 'Machine-Type Light Monster that cannot be Normally Summoned' from your deck to your hand."
Seeing that Xia Qing had no intention of chaining, Lu Yiming picked out a card and said, "I'll add 'Longhui Qiao·Shangbi·ζ (Zeta)' to my hand.
"Next, I activate 'Ultimate Dragon' and Special Summon a 'Dragon' monster from the Deck."
Xia Qing interrupted quickly: "At this moment, I chain the effect of 'White Saint', liberate myself, and Special Summon 'Fairy Eye Swordsman' from the deck."
Seeing the Saint Lady leave, Lu Yiming was not surprised and said calmly: "The one I want to summon is 'Long Hui Qiao·Tian Pei Four·γ (Gamma)'."
First, a white-haired lady holding a sword jumped into the field, followed by a giant mechanical dragon driven by a jet device.
A completely different style of painting, like an ancient swordsman has intruded into the Stellaris game.
"When the opponent Special Summons a monster from the Deck, the card draw effect of Yokai is triggered."
After that, Xia Qing drew two cards from the deck.
