Chapter 82: The Herald of the Sovereign
The moment Lu Yiming said he surrendered, the classroom in No. 1 High School fell into dead silence.
After a few seconds, the silent atmosphere was broken.
It was like a depth charge exploding at the bottom of a calm lake, causing a huge uproar.
"What the hell? Senior Lu lost?"
"Where did this opponent named Xia Qing come from? I've never heard of him before."
"I know a little bit. The internet says there is a dark horse in this competition, a particularly powerful connection monster."
"Is this true? What kind of monster?"
"You can search for videos online when you get home. They're really cool."
The extracurricular time of senior high school students is already tight, not to mention a school like No. 1 High School, which is known for its strictness. On weekdays, mobile phones are not allowed to be brought into the school.
The principal was also scared when he saw his proud student fail, but fortunately he was experienced and immediately went on stage to control the situation.
He raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and argued: "Everyone, please don't make noise. This time, Lu Yiming should have seen that the opponent was young, so he was careless and unprepared. This also reminds us that we must not take it lightly when facing any opponent."
The principal's chicken soup speech successfully calmed everyone down. He looked around and soon spotted Hu Rong, whose face was pale, in the crowd.
A warm feeling suddenly surged in his heart. This teacher still had a greater sense of honor.
Unlike the few old-timers next to them, who kept whispering to each other after the live broadcast started.
After the game is over, I must call them over for a good talk.
After the first round of the game, Xia Qing walked to the center of the arena with a smile on his face and shook hands with his opponent as usual.
"Hello, Master Lu."
However, the other party's response directly choked Xia Qing, "Hello to you too, God Xia."
Seeing his embarrassed expression, Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Now you know how I feel when someone calls me that."
Xia Qing nodded empathetically and changed the topic, "Then I'll call you Senior Lu. After all, I almost got into the first high school."
A glimmer of light flashed across Lu Yiming's pupils, and he was obviously interested in this topic.
However, this was a duel arena after all, and the two were still opponents at this moment, so it was not appropriate to chat for long. They simply exchanged a few pleasantries and then left the stage.
Adjusting the deck, Xia Qing glanced at his sideboard.
"Add some Beast of the Abyss, some Bad Beast, and some Dimension Attractor."
Xia Qing suddenly felt that this might be a bit too cruel.
“But considering the thickness of the main deck, the hand rate is not particularly high.”
Taking advantage of the ten minutes or so, Xia Qing placed a few cards in front of him and prayed earnestly for each one, hoping to enhance the bond.
"What is contestant Xia Qing doing? Is he performing some kind of religious ceremony?"
Another commentator looked over and replied with a smile: "This is probably what people often call cramming at the last minute."
It turns out that cramming at the last minute does have some effect.
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that it is purely a probabilistic reason.
Lu Yiming took the lead in the second round.
The start of the Ultra Special Summoning "Alpha".
Xia Qing seized the opportunity and used the effect of "Beast of the Abyss: Druid Scale Insect" to snatch away the "Alpha" that was about to activate its effect in the opponent's graveyard.
As a result, even if the opponent made "Proclaimer of the Light" in the end, he only had two cards left in his hand.
[The Herald of the Sovereign, 12 stars, Angel Clan, 2000/3000. ]
The strange-looking pure white angel, whose body was made up of spherical joints, lay on its side on Lu Yiming's field.
He had a disdainful expression, as if his face was full of impatience.
"My turn, draw a card."
Xia Qing just added the card to his hand.
Lu Yiming raised his hand and declared: "Activate the effect of 'Eternal Lady Beatrice', remove an Xyz material, and send 'Extraterrestrial Life' from the deck to the graveyard."
[Eternal Lady Beatrice, 6-star super, 2500/2800. ]
The effect is that during both players' turns, remove one Xyz material and graveyard any card from your deck.
When you send Extraterrestrial Life to the Graveyard, you can remove Angel-Type monsters on the field or in the Graveyard to retrieve up to two Level 2 or lower Angel-Type monsters.
"I banish the two monsters in my graveyard and add 'The Herald's Divine Sorcerer' and 'The Herald of Vermilion Light' to my hand."
Seeing that Lu Yiming had added two more Angel monsters, Xia Qing couldn't help but frowned: "4 Kang?"
He didn't draw the bad beast directly, so he had to step into these 4 pits.
Looking at the "Rampage Magic Circle" and "Summoning Magic" in his hands.
In this situation, he actually hopes that the opponent's duel level is higher.
Xia Qing took a deep breath, placed the card on the duel disk, and said, "Activate the field magic 'Rampage Magic Circle' and retrieve 'Aleister' from the deck."
According to the best option recognized by everyone in the previous life, under the condition of limited impedance, the "Rampage Magic Circle" should be let go and the ineffectiveness should be left to "Aleister".
In terms of probability, Aleister with 3 cards is more likely to be drawn than Summoning Magic with 2 cards.
Lu Yiming is indeed a genius student. Although he has no experience in this area, he still came to a similar conclusion. "We have a limited number of Angels. If we fail to use the 'Magic Circle', then the opponent may use the Normal Summon somewhere else."
After thinking about it, he instinctively felt that compared to the magic circle, the subsequent invalid summons of "Aleister" were more deadly.
Seeing that the opponent had let go of the magic circle's search, Xia Qing's tense nerves immediately relaxed.
"At least we can get the light car out stably."
The commentator keenly noticed this detail and said, "Contestant Xia Qing seems to be very relaxed?"
"Call Alai."
When Xia Qing activated the search effect of "Aleister", Lu Yiming finally handed in the first Kang.
He waved his hand and said, "I chain the effect of 'The Herald of the Great Light' and send the 'Hermit of the Herald' to the graveyard, negating it and destroying 'Aleister'."
The angel monsters thrown out by Lu Yiming gathered into the pure energy on Chongguang's body.
Chongguang didn't even bother to get up. He casually waved a pure white ray, and the image of Aleister instantly turned into fragments.
The opponent has three cards left in his hand.
Xia Qing inserted a card in his hand into the duel disk, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
"I activate 'summoning magic'."
"You have summoning magic in your hand?" Lu Yiming was suddenly stunned, obviously not expecting this.
But it's not a big problem, it's just that both sides will consume one card each.
"Continue to activate the effect of 'Soko', discard the second 'Divine Witch', and negate the fusion effect of 'Summoning Magic'."
"I'm sorry, Senior," Xia Qing raised the corner of his mouth towards the other party, and the light that flashed in his eyes before shone again, "'Rampage Magic Circle' has a hidden effect. When this card is on the field, the fusion effect activated by our side will not be invalidated, and when the summon is successful, the opponent cannot chain."
"What?" Lu Yiming was slightly stunned. He had never expected that the rampage magic circle would have such an effect.
Not only him, even Xia Qing would forget occasionally.
The commentators outside the venue were all confused: "Does the 'Rampage Magic Circle' still have this effect?"
Another commentator said unsurely, “It seems like there is, but even Lu Shen doesn’t know?
"That is indeed as contestant Xia Qing said, it is a hidden effect."
Seeing Lu Yiming frowning, the commentator couldn't help but raise his voice: "In this way, Lu Shen only has two cards in his hand, and Xia Qing still has 4 cards left.
"Perhaps next, we will finally see a player who can directly break through the solid defense of 'Sogo'."
On the duel stage, Xia Qing waved his hand and said, "Exclude 'Aleister' and 'Alpha' in your graveyard, and fusion summon the summoned beast Merkaba."
The mechanical dragon's soul was sucked onto the field, intertwined with Aleister's image.
This "Alpha" was created by Lu Yiming using the effect of "Mumbetta" in the last round.
Obviously, the opponent was going to use it to launch the next round, so Xia Qing naturally couldn't let him do as he wished.
For Long Huiqiao, "Alpha" is a very critical point for making money.
After being excluded twice in succession, Lu Yiming looked towards Xia Qing with a hint of resentment in his eyes.
Xia Qing felt the resentment and smiled back.
Although the previous contact was pleasant, this is a serious competition after all, and he will not show mercy.
"Show yourself, chariot of the gods."
A crack opened up in the void, and a silver chariot came galloping towards them.
The next step is naturally to recover Aleister.
The next moment, Xia Qing threw away Aleister, who had just been acquired, without hesitation.
"Discard the recovered 'Aleister' and increase the attack power of the 'Merkaba' on the field by 1000 points."
Sogo's defense is 3000 points, and once this effect passes, it will be damaged by 3500 Merkaba battles.
Lu Yiming realized this and immediately interrupted, "Activate the effect of 'Chongguang', discard the 'Announcer of Red Light' in your hand, and negate the additional attack of 'Aleister'."
Xia Qing was not to be outdone: "Chain 'Merkaba', discard the monster cards in your hand, invalidate yours and invalidate mine."
"I will continue the chain and activate the effect of 'Soko' again, discarding 'Electrified Angel·Weituotian'. I will invalidate you and I will invalidate you."
The audience outside the venue were so annoyed listening to the duel and dialogue between the two that they felt numb. Why were so many of them ineffective?
The effect of Master Kong does not have the restriction that it can only be activated once in the same chain.
The final result of the duel between the two monsters was that Master Kong deserved the title.
The chariot under the god's seat is ultimately no match for the announcer who conveys God's will.
Under the illumination of the holy light, the silver thunder was suppressed and Merkaba was destroyed and disintegrated.
As Lu Yiming's last card was also discarded.
Xia Qing let out a breath. It was finally his turn to play Yu-Gi-Oh.
Without the cards in hand as bullets, even a strong person like Master Kong can't do anything without the right ingredients.
Seeing this, Xia Qing finally showed the card he had treasured for a long time.
"I activate the magic card 'The Obstructed Beast Sleeps'."
