The third day of the Niaodu Graduation Cup qualifiers.
It is also the last day of preliminaries.
At this point in the competition, the number of remaining players is quite limited. Counting the players who have not participated before, the players participating today only need one game to successfully determine the top 128 who will enter the main stage.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Duel Ground No. 9 in Area C, Lin You, who was in the second duel stage, stepped onto the duel ground.
This time, his opponent had a magic power value of 160 points. He was the player whose magic power was closest to that of Lin You in these games.
"Lin You..."
At this moment, the lanky boy standing opposite Lin You looked very ugly. With his ability, he could have entered the main competition relatively easily. However, in this crucial battle, he encountered the most vicious 'blocker' in the preliminaries.
This boy is a native of Niaodu and has seen the popular post on his forum about the Niaodu Graduation Cup.
Therefore, he pays special attention to several Class A threats with the highest threat rating.
Attention is concern, but he doesn't want to bump into the real owner at all.
But unfortunately, God doesn’t bring what he wants!
Knowing that his opponent was Lin You, the lanky boy also thought of countermeasures in advance.
Among Lin You's information, the things that concerned him the most were the Silent Magician, whose attack power could soar up to 2,300 points, and the trap card with a particularly difficult effect.
The effect of sealing the deck is really a rogue one.
Therefore, the moment the duel began, the lanky boy activated a monster card and a magic card at the speed of light.
Although it takes some time for the card to take effect after it is activated, when the light theory is activated, the gap can be said to be minimal.
Activate two cards at the same time with almost no delay.
Even though the Engraved Seal is a trap card that activates very quickly, it cannot perfectly capture this activation gap.
Unless the opponent goes one step further and uses three cards at the same time.
If so, the third card will not be able to break through the effect of the Engraved Seal.
A turtle appeared on the lanky boy's court.
This turtle looks very old and has no idea how many years it has lived.
But what is more eye-catching than this is the alien flying saucer-like object on its back, which replaced the turtle shell.
There are seven or eight circular holes arranged around the flying saucer. Through those holes, you can vaguely see the burning flames.
【UFO Turtle】
Mechanical race, fire attribute.
Attack power/1400, defense power/1200.
…
At the same time that the UFO Turtle appeared, the magic card that was activated before the Engraved Seal took effect also began to flip.
The light of magic flashed, but no effect was activated. A magic shock suddenly struck and landed on this card.
The magic card stopped flipping and stopped in mid-air, and the original dazzling magic light disappeared.
"?"
The lanky boy slowly raised a question mark in his mind.
When he put the question mark, he didn't feel that there was something wrong with himself, but that something was wrong with Lin You!
What's going on with my magic card?
Can I still be ‘sick’?
Why did it stop!
Lin You didn't leave him any time to remain dazed. The silent magician wearing the black necklace raised his staff again and released a magic bullet.
The magical impact just now was naturally her work.
One of Silent Magician's effects can negate the activation of a magic card.
Therefore, even if the magic card successfully escaped the capture of the Engraved Seal, it still fell under the special effect of the Silent Magician.
Since his opponent's magic power was similar to his own, Lin You's attitude towards the challenge also changed.
Although I don't know exactly what magic card the opponent activated, it is always right to block it.
The Phantom Beast King, who appeared under the special effects of the Black Forest Witch, also rushed forward following the magic bullet.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
The flying saucer on the back of the flying saucer turtle rotated rapidly, and under this rotation, it sprayed out flames one after another.
These flames seemed to have a unique attraction to each other, quickly moving closer and then condensing into a tornado of flames.
puff.
The sea-blue magic bullet shot into the flame tornado in a hurry. The tornado suddenly felt like it was hit hard, shook violently, and suddenly stopped sweeping.
Bravely penetrating the flame tornado, the magic bullet directly hit the UFO turtle's back.
The flying saucer on his back was like a piece of porcelain that had been smashed to the ground. It instantly became shattered and large flames spread out from it.
The UFO turtle was seriously injured in an instant, and the Phantom Beast King, who had already come closer, drew out his sharp claws continuously.
boom!
The UFO turtle was shattered on the spot, but at the moment it was shattered, a female warrior holding a strange bow and arrow, wearing a gray cloak and with long white hair appeared.
【Guardian of the Red Lotus Girl】
Warrior clan, fire attribute.
Attack power/1500, defense power/1200.
The special effect of UFO Turtle is activated. When this card is sent to the graveyard due to battle damage, you can immediately summon a fire attribute monster with an attack power of less than 1500 points from the deck.
As soon as the guard of the Red Lotus Girl appeared on the scene, she made a strange move, summoned a bow and arrow, and inserted it into her heart without hesitation.
Then there was the scene of shattering, and the Phantom Beast King's attack was completely in vain.
Whoosh.
The silent magician didn't pay attention to the situation here, raised his staff, and launched a direct attack at the lanky boy in the empty field.
But at this moment, a few sparks flew into the field, flames swirled and flew, and the flying saucer turtle that had been sent to the cemetery before actually appeared in the field again.
The special effect of the Red Lotus Girl's Guardian Soldier is activated!
By using yourself as a sacrifice, you can return a friendly monster that was destroyed due to battle within 10 seconds to the deck. When summoned again, the magic cost of this card will be increased by 20 points.
The magic bullet hit in front of the lanky boy and was blocked by the translucent soul barrier at the moment.
The next moment, the chains that bound the soul barrier broke away one after another, and the soul barrier became invisible.
The effect of the Engraved Seal has ended.
"Made, make it through!"
The lanky boy roared in his heart. Before the fight, he knew that he was bound to overturn today.
But if you overturn a car, you must do it with courage.
The information said that other people could not last ten seconds in front of Lin You, so he had to wait ten seconds.
No, not just ten seconds, but longer!
boom!
There was a loud bang, and the flying saucer turtle was hit by a magic bomb again.
This time, it seemed to have hit the mark.
No serious injuries.
Instead, he died where he was.
But after the UFO turtle was sent to the graveyard, the special effect was activated again, and what appeared on the field was the second Guardian of the Red Lotus Girl.
'History repeats itself.
This woman is so ruthless, one stab into the heart with a bow and arrow is not enough, she has to do it again.
Of course, strictly speaking, even if there are two identical cards, the summoned monsters are not exactly the same.
For example, these two Red Lotus Girl guardians may have slight differences in the amount of hair, eye size, and skin tenderness.
Regardless of these, the talent of the same card itself also has high and low levels.
The one with stronger talent will be easier to train into a duel-level card.
Once again seeing the flying saucer turtle make its debut, Lin You felt helpless to complain. You turtle is really a model worker in the industry, your business is so busy.
The lanky boy once again held up the scene.
Despite this, with his current duel mentality, the rest of the time is destined to be garbage time.
In the end, after being beaten unilaterally for a minute and a half, the lanky boy swallowed the defeat.
Lin You, who won this victory, finally successfully got rid of the preliminaries and officially entered the main stage.
According to the competition system, after the preliminaries, the players will have one day to rest, and the main competition will begin at 10 a.m. on July 14.
"Lin You, how sad it is that you are homeless."
As soon as the qualifying round ended, Liu Jun came over to complain.
Hotels owned by the organizer will only provide free accommodation benefits to contestants who have successfully advanced. For contestants eliminated in the preliminaries, their entry codes will be revoked when the preliminaries end.
"There's no point in being miserable."
Lin You said with a smile: "The organizer just informed us that those of us entering the main draw are advised to switch to Ruijiang Hotel. The competition venue for the main draw will be changed to one that is closer to the venue."
"Stop irritating me."
Liu Jun was about to cry but said without tears: "Lin You, how about borrowing some money? I spent too much before, but now..."
"Okay, okay."
Lin You couldn't help but burst out laughing. This guy even cried out about poverty, "You can find a place nearby to live for now. Just tell me how much is the difference and I'll transfer it to you later."
"okay."
Liu Jun changed his face faster than flipping through a book, "I can find a budget hotel nearby and it won't cost me much money."
"Okay, you can figure it out yourself."
After saying that, Lin You stopped an approaching taxi.
…
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at its destination.
Ruijiang Hotel.
Just from the outside, this hotel looks much more impressive than Asuka. It is said that there is a special dueling ground inside the hotel.
In terms of dining, the buffet is also provided, but the meal price has been increased by several hundred yuan.
As soon as he got off the car, Liu Jun went to work first. He had checked on the Internet for a nearby hotel, which was only a few hundred meters away.
Lin You stood there, looking across the road.
There, a large duel arena occupies a huge area, with green trees on both sides of the road. People who occasionally pass by will take a look inside inadvertently, and some people take photos nearby.
That is the duel arena and climbing arena dedicated to the main stage.
The day after tomorrow, it will be very lively there.
Entering the main competition, the attention of the Niaodu Graduation Cup will be greatly increased. There will be many media reporting on it, and there will also be a special guest seat, but it is not yet known who will attend.
But these had nothing to do with Lin You. After confirming the direction to climb the arena, he turned around and walked into the hotel.
