After getting up on time and having breakfast at the hotel, Lin You and Liu Jun met.
"It's finally about to start. I hope I can hold on for a few more rounds."
Liu Jun's eyes were full of fighting spirit and expectation, and he seemed unaffected by yesterday's defeat.
"What's going on with your opponent this time?" Lin You asked lazily.
"It's not bad. The magic power is 115 points. It's the kind of person who has just touched the entry threshold, but you can't tell much just by looking at the magic power."
Although he said this, the smile on Liu Jun's face was obviously fuller, and he was obviously very satisfied with the opponent he matched this time.
Even if you can't make it to the main match, if you can win a few more games in the preliminaries and accumulate more duel experience, that's what you'll earn.
"Then you have a chance, which zone will you play today?"
"I'm in the third duel field in Area E, No. 7, which is relatively far back."
"Okay, let's go, it's time to set off."
Lin You nodded. It was almost nine o'clock now, and the venue for the preliminaries was the Huiyao Arena.
Different from ordinary dueling halls, the arena is a venue specially prepared for various events. It is a very large area and is divided into multiple areas. Each area has ten fighting arenas.
The duel grounds in each area combined can accommodate up to fifty duel matches at the same time.
Otherwise, with so many people signing up for the preliminaries, we still don’t know how long it will take until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
The two of them left the hotel, and I don't know if it was affected by the Niaodu Graduation Cup. There was an extremely large flow of people and heavy traffic on the street.
Fortunately, I got up early, otherwise I might be late.
It would be so tragic to be judged as being late.
…
“There are so many people here.”
When Lin You and the two arrived at the Huiyao Arena, they were already facing a scene of people jockeying for the match as the game was about to begin. Looking around, they saw that the darkness of human heads covered several area signs.
There is no way, although the space here is large, not only the contestants come here, but also the audience who come to the scene.
During the preliminaries, on-site tickets are extremely cheap, and they are a one-time purchase. You can watch the entire event for 200 yuan.
Naturally, there are many people who are interested.
It took a lot of effort for the boss to squeeze through the crowd, and Lin You was able to see the area map. Then he turned to Liu Jun behind him and said, "Area C is not far ahead. Your E area has to go further.
That’s the area where you turn right at the end.”
"Thanks, Lin You."
Liu Jun thanked him and said: "Then I'll go over first, it's getting late."
The game will officially start in five minutes, so Lin You doesn't have to worry. His game is in the second game. Unless the competitor in front of him is late, there is still some time.
At this time, the spectators who had specially bought tickets to watch the game were already entering the venue and discussing.
"Have you heard that Pengyue High School is organizing a group of students this time? Does anyone know which district they are playing in?"
"You are too naive. Where is Pengyue? The most famous duel high school in Bird City. Even if the students are not the most outstanding ones, as long as there is something, the magic power must be over 180 points."
"What happened to the 180 magic points?"
"You're a noob and you're still talking tough. With 180 magic points, you basically get a bye in the preliminaries, don't you know?"
"Damn, isn't my money wasted? I also want to see some genius competition."
"Well, magic power doesn't mean everything. Even if there are no bye players, there are many fierce people in Niaodu. Just watch them dominate. Isn't it just fun to buy tickets?"
"That's true..."
More than 90% of the spectators who specially bought tickets to watch the game were locals from Niaodu, and the supporters were naturally from their own families.
Lin You found a vending machine, bought a bottle of Sprite, and drank while waiting for these people to enter.
The number of people around decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon only those internal staff responsible for sanitation, cleaning and security remained.
Lin You threw the empty bottle into the trash can and entered the gate of Area C.
The game had officially started at this time. Lin You did not go to the auditorium, but walked from the aisle of the player preparation area to the front of duel field No. 4.
As soon as I passed by, I saw a boy with a crew cut also waiting.
Because he had seen his information beforehand and it also had photos attached to it, Lin You recognized the opponent at a glance as Zhang Cheng, his opponent in the first battle.
Zhang Cheng also noticed Lin You walking over, his face slightly nervous, obviously worried.
Although magic power does not mean everything, the difference in magic power of 21 points is already obvious. This is the summoning capital of a white star monster card.
If you play a protracted game, the advantage of magic power will be fully reflected, even if it is only 21 points.
"Hello."
"Oh that's fine."
Lin You simply replied to Zhang Cheng who took the initiative to greet him, but said nothing more.
Zhang Cheng didn't say anything anymore. He was already racking his brains on how to defeat Lin You.
Lin You has already formulated the relevant strategies for the first battle in advance. There is no need to be too troublesome to deal with the opponents at this stage.
In the competitive area, battles are in full swing in major duel arenas, but the duration of the battles is completely different.
Some battles ended quickly within a minute or two, while others fought tooth and nail and were still fighting fiercely after half an hour.
This is normal. If there is a way to quickly force the opponent to empty the field, there is a chance to end the battle quickly.
If the two sides are evenly matched and monsters continue to confront monsters, the time will continue to be lengthened due to various factors.
The situation in Duel Field No. 4 drawn by Lin You was like this.
After waiting for a full forty minutes, Lin You, whose patience was almost worn out, finally witnessed the winner of the two monsters like a mountain of meat. The victorious duelist raised his hands and rejoiced, looking extremely happy.
After that, the war supervisor in the No. 4 preparation area signaled with his eyes that Lin You and the two walked into the duel area one after another, each occupying one end, and they were twenty meters apart according to the standard.
"Soul connection." The war supervisor in the war preparation area said loudly.
Upon hearing the order, the two men immediately activated their dueling gloves and waited for the official duel command to be transmitted.
In the auditorium, sitting in a row with relatively few people, Yi Zhiqing had adjusted her mobile device. After waiting for a long time, Yi Zhiqing's eyes moved slightly, and she immediately activated the 'live broadcast card' and locked the duel area where Lin You was.
The live broadcast of the first battle started.
"The duel begins!"
The war supervisor gave the order.
Lin You and Zhang Cheng looked at each other in the air and immediately activated their magic power.
The moment Zhang Cheng activated his card, a trap card appeared in front of Lin You.
A seal with a light blue halo was suspended in the air, a wave of light spread out, and five or six dark chains stretched out in an instant, and under Zhang Cheng's confused gaze, they were inserted into the soul barrier in front of him.
The originally invisible soul barrier now took on a translucent texture, and a dense array of runes with unknown meanings appeared above it.
Trap card, carved seal!
This card can only be activated when the target duelist successfully activates a card, sealing the target for ten seconds. During this period, the duelist will not be able to activate any cards normally!
When this card is activated, Lin You's standard combo directly spreads the field. Silent Magician is specially summoned by the Black Forest Witch's sacrifice, and then the Phantom Beast King appears on the field.
But this time, Lin You had no idea of using the chestnut ball army.
That's not necessary.
The monster that appears in Zhang Chengchang is called the Swordsman of Fire. He wears a burning samurai kimono, and the two swords in his hands also emit blazing flames.
This is a white-star monster whose attribute and race are both "Fire". It has an attack power of 1700 points and a defense power of 1100 points.
Undoubtedly, he is the core of Zhang Cheng's deck.
Graduate students who can participate in the Bird Capital Graduation Cup have more or less mastered some methods of card linkage. At this stage, this linkage is usually implemented around a card.
Zhang Cheng is no exception.
But just as he was about to activate the card to link the Flame Swordsman, the injection of magic power seemed to be hindered by some kind of obstacle.
At the same time, the soul barrier that was inexplicably penetrated by several dark chains was flickering at the moment, as if there was some kind of malfunction.
Eh?
What's going on...
Zhang Cheng's whole body was suddenly messed up in the wind.
