The Villain Only Wants To Live a Buddhist Life

Lyreira's lightning ability is just too buggy.

It has no CD in the starting hand, is sure to hit instantly, has no distance limit at long range, and also comes with a paralysis effect.

This ability is a great weapon even in actual combat, let alone in a restricted magic duel.

That is to say, Lyrela was still a third-year student and her own strength was limited. Otherwise, Doron would have died countless times during this brief period of paralysis.

But duels are never ifs.

Doron is still alive now, that's the fact.

Why don't you surrender and admit defeat just by saying "You are already a candle in the wind" to your opponent?

Duolong didn't want to be killed in the first open game after hard military training.

He looked at the [Thunder Eel] rushing towards him with lightning, and the magic power in his body reached the limit. His thoughts accelerated at that moment, and a picture appeared in his eyes, but the pictures were all broken and useless.

At this moment of paralysis, even if the brain is sober as never before under the magic spell, if it can't even summon, what can it do?

So, excluding the identity of the Magister, what else does he have?

And the knights!

He is a dragon knight and an unyielding warrior!

Duolong's eyes widened further at that moment, and the electric current stimulated the pupils of his eyes, causing veins to appear at the corners of his eyes, almost ready to burst!

"Ouch!"

He broke through the shackles and forced the sound out from under his throat.

At that moment, the "qi" flowing in his body passed through a total of six chakras, rushed straight to the top of his head, and instantly broke through the seventh chakra located above the head - [Brahma Point Chakra]!

Unlike Dake, Doron is talented in this area. He is favored by the elders in the Doron family. Of course, it cannot be just because of his good looks, temperament, and talent.

Starting from Franklin Doron, the Dolon family began to focus on cultivating magic warriors who mastered both "qi" and "magic" to replace the magic warriors of the old era.

And Doron was one of those selected into the Magic Warrior training list following the success of Franklin Doron.

Moreover, due to his outstanding performance during the holiday military training, he has jumped to the top of the training list!

Caught in the throes of changing times, the Dolon family is in urgent need of change.

And Teddy Doron is the son of Doron who was born in line with the times!

…

Cough cough cough!

Anyway, that’s what someone said.

In short, at the critical moment, Duolong broke through the seventh chakra and finally successfully released the "qi" in his body, forming a very oppressive "potential"!

A strong enough "potential" can even form a dragon-like effect, collectively suppressing targets with weak mental power.

And Duolong's "power" is simply Longwei!

"Roar--"

A terrifying dragon roar suddenly sounded in the void.

The audience, who were closely watching the situation on the field, suddenly became alert.

The shadow of the dragon beast formed above Duolong's head.

That was clearly a "tyrannosaurus power"!

Although not a pure-blood dragon shadow, Tyrannosaurus is still a dragon.

Duolong felt that every pore in his body was being filled with Qi, and the remaining electric current was dispersed by the air flow, and the numb feeling all over his body disappeared instantly.

The charging [Thunder Eel] was actually frightened by the dragon's power, and its speed suddenly slowed down.

Duolong's momentum reached its limit at this moment, and he suddenly drove the [Airspeed Flying Dragon] forward from the front.

His "Tyrannosaurus Power" enveloped the [Airspeed Flying Dragon], as if a layer of the shadow of the Tyrannosaurus was wrapped around the body of the [Airspeed Flying Dragon], as if "a man and a dragon merged into one", extremely ferocious.

On the ground, Lyreira, who was already confident of winning, suddenly frowned, but [Thunder Eel] was about to charge and it was impossible to stop.

She could only watch helplessly as the [Thunder Eel] collided head-on with the [Air-speed Flying Dragon], and then was directly knocked away by the [Air-speed Flying Dragon] carrying the "power of a tyrannosaurus".

[Thunder Eel] The electric current wrapped around its body splashed in the air, rolled and fell down.

The surroundings of the duel venue suddenly sounded loud and exciting music, and the audience was instantly excited.

Only Lyrilla's expression was solemn. She glanced at the newly drawn magic cards and drew one of them from the duel disk at an extremely fast speed.

She paid the price for her excessive self-confidence. She did not set up a situation in advance, which resulted in her limited ability to respond now.

But fortunately, Duolong's "power" had just taken shape. Although the [Thunder Eel] flew away, it did not cause fatal damage to it.

She still has room to maneuver.

Moreover, she raised her head and observed carefully, and her thoughts were indeed true.

Humans' "qi" is a superpower that other races cannot imitate. Although the sea race is also regarded as a "subhuman race" by some people, it is actually fundamentally different from subhuman races such as orcs, elves, and dwarves. .

The most intuitive difference is that the Hai Clan does not have the talent to cultivate "qi".

But the less something exists, the more attractive it is to study.

[Ocean Magic Academy] has a large number of courses on human studies, including courses that specialize in the study of "qi".

Lairla had taken that course and knew that after the "qi" of human warriors was cultivated to the extreme, although they could burst into "power", the "power" was formed by the condensed energy of the whole body and usually did not last long.

To put it simply, it consumes a lot of money and can only be used as a special move at critical moments.

Especially a "momentum" like Duolong's that has just broken through and condensed can be maintained for one and a half minutes, which is the limit.

"It was just a short burst. Although it solved his dilemma, it just brought the duel back to its starting point temporarily."

"The duel has just begun."

Lyreira put aside the disadvantages caused by the previous contempt and faced her opponent squarely again.

The magic card in her hand lit up with blue light at the summons, and the sound of the waves came from the card.

She held the magic card high, and the phantom of the sea appeared around the card.

A stone tablet shining with thunder emerged from the depths of the sea and surfaced under the gaze of everyone.

There was a sudden sound of thunder in the sky, and lightning patterns cracked on the stone tablet.

The [Thunder Eel] rolled several times in succession after falling in the air, but it stabilized its figure and neighed at Duolong.

Then its body began to glow and became transparent.

As soon as Lyrela thought, the [Thunder Eel] turned into light and was sucked into the stone tablet she summoned.

Anyone who has studied the sea tribe generally knows that there are many stone tablets in the sea that come from unknown sources.

The stone monuments are mysterious but occasionally emerge from the sea.

It is said that if a sailor encounters a stone tablet emerging from the seabed, as long as he offers the right sacrifice, he will be able to find treasures in the sea under the guidance of the stone tablet.

As for what is the "correct" sacrifice, and what will happen if the sacrifice offered is not "correct" enough, only God knows.

In short, there is a high probability that the stone tablet summoned by Lyrela is an imitation of that type of legend, that is, the [Mystery].

…

The background sounds around the duel venue became lighter a little bit, as if they were accumulating and waiting.

Duolong broke through at the critical moment.

Lyreira took out the mysterious Arcana Card in order to save the situation.

[Godly cause] becomes more and more active.

And above the sky.

Of course, Duolong, who finally recovered, could not sit idly by. He pulled out a magic card and quickly summoned it.

Then there was another dragon roar, and a spear fell from the sky. The spear was covered with dragon patterns and was more than two meters long. It was a dragon spear!

Riding a flying dragon and holding a dragon spear, Duolong looks more and more like a dragon knight who stepped out of the work.

But when everyone thought he was summoning a weapon and preparing for close combat, they saw him suddenly stand up on the back of [Airspeed Flying Dragon]. Although he raised his hand to catch the dragon spear, he did not turn over his hand. Instead, he suddenly grasped the gun body and thrust the blazing dragon gun into the head of the [Airspeed Flying Dragon] under the watchful eyes of everyone!

"Pfft!"

The hard dragon scales melted like tofu.

The dragon spear summoned by Duolong pierced the head of [Airspeed Flying Dragon], and the tip of the spear came out halfway from underneath.

[Airspeed Flying Dragon] suddenly let out a cry.

But there was no shrillness in the cry, instead there was a kind of passion that looked forward to death.

The blood flowed upward from the wound, wrapped around the dragon spear, and turned into a blood dragon circling.

When the audience noticed, the body of the [Airspeed Flying Dragon] had completely turned into blood.

Duolong, who was originally standing on the dragon's back, seemed to be stepping on the void.

The blood light transformed from [Airspeed Flying Dragon] wrapped around the dragon spear, and then wrapped around Duolong's right arm along the dragon spear, and then wrapped around his whole body, and soon it wrapped around his whole body, like armor.

——No, it’s armor!

[Airspeed Flying Dragon] was swallowed by the dragon gun and transformed into blood-colored dragon armor, instantly wearing it.

That Dragon Spear is a conditional [Armed Card]!

…

Although it has long been known that [Armed Card] will definitely shine in the new duel rules.

But when he saw the application of [Armed Card] on Duolong, Dak was still amazed.

After Duolong finished dressing, blood squirmed from his back, and two dragon wings came out.

With dragon wings on his back, dragon horns on his head, and a dragon gun in his hand, he charged fiercely from the sky!

"Boom!"

There was another thunderous sound in the sky.

Lyrela watched Doron transform into an armed man, but she was not afraid at all.

Her secret ritual has also been completed.

The stone tablet that absorbed the [Thunder Eel] cracked amid the thunder.

Immediately afterwards, a flash of lightning rushed out from the crack in the stone tablet.

There was a faint sound of dragon roaring in the lightning, which was actually something related to "dragon".

A sneer appeared in Lyrela's heart, and a magic card in her hand turned into a mirror shield, floating on her chest.

This mirror shield can be of any size and can absorb shock and transform lightning.

She watched Duolong charging forward with the dragon gun, and then raised the mirror shield. Then the lightning flashed in her hair, and the electric energy that originally took two rounds to be charged was directly poured into the mirror shield crazily.

She switched from single-wielding to dual-wielding, and pointed the mirror shield at Doron, but she was not prepared to withstand the impact, but directly poured electricity into it and released thunder and lightning!

The lightning on the mirror shield gathered at high speed and illuminated the field.

As the "Thunder Dragon" emerged from the stone tablet, thunder light gathered into a pillar and was released from the mirror shield.

"Boom!"

Just listen to the thunder, and the thunder pillars shoot upward.

But Duolong flapped his dragon wings, and his body suddenly rotated and deflected in mid-air. He actually dodged in advance through prediction.

Successfully dodged the instant lightning pillar.

Then Laerila was also prepared. With both hands, she suddenly moved the mirror shield in the direction of Doron's dodge.

Amid the screams and exclamations of the audience, Duolong's body was instantly swallowed up by the thunder pillar.

However the duel was not over.

Fiery blood light lit up in the thunder pillar, and the shadow of the flying dragon appeared from it.

But it was the dragon soul transformed into [Airspeed Flying Dragon] after being swallowed by the dragon gun that appeared and blocked the fatal attack.

Duolong used the flying dragon soul as a shield, his eyes were firm, his two dragon wings were drawn back and close to his back, the dragon spear broke through the lightning, and the blood light on the tip of the spear was strong.

Seeing that he was about to approach Lyreira, he rushed towards the mirror shield.

"boom!"

It's like thunder from the sky stirring up fire on the earth.

The upper limit of the Mirror Shield's damage capacity was actually broken by the Dragon Spear at that moment.

The continuously released thunder pillar disappeared at the moment when the shield was broken, leaving only the electric current.

Lyrela deflected the force and slapped the remains of the mirror shield that had not yet turned into magic power towards Doron's cheek.

"Snapped!"

This pair of dragon armor has no helmet, only a headband.

Duolong's cheek came into close contact with the remains of the mirror shield, and he felt a sharp pain.

But he gritted his teeth and spread his wings. He turned around and swept with a dragon spear, looking at Lairila's water snake waist.

But when they were face to face at a close distance, Doron suddenly discovered that Laerila was not panicked at all, and was even surprisingly calm. Her eyes as clear as the ocean reflected not only his own figure, but also... from there. The brontosaurus swooping from behind!

"boom!"

The thunder dragon appeared, swooped from the sky, and finally caught up with Duolong. The sharp horns shining with lightning pierced the dragon armor, pierced the skin, and pierced the abdomen.

Doron was nailed to the ground.

"Well done."

Before his consciousness disappeared, Doron only heard Lyrela's faint voice of approval.

When he woke up again, he was already standing in the [Cemetery], feeling that his magic power was exhausted and his whole body was exhausted.

What came to my ears was the referee's voice announcing Lereira as the winner.

He felt a little confused, but there was music ringing around him, as if someone was encouraging or comforting him.

"what is that?"

He raised his hand and felt something floating over him, but he felt nothing.

Suddenly something clicked in his heart, as if he had some realization.

"I see, is this the cause of God?"

"It turns out that even if you are defeated, you can also attract divine causes..."

…

Not all is lost for the defeated.

Many [divine causes] were attracted by Duolong who fought bravely.

If you can see the [divine cause], you will even find that the [divine cause] he obtained is not much less than Lereela.

Duck closed his eyes, slightly surprised when the golden light disappeared.

According to the inference, theoretically, although the loser can also obtain [divine cause] recognition, it is basically impossible to compare with the winner.

What is the reason for Duolong's situation that makes those [divine causes] particularly optimistic about him?

However, Doron's dragon armor is really amazing, and depending on the situation, it is a special weapon that can be used against different dragon species.

That dragon gun can swallow different dragon species and turn into weapons with different attributes.

Of course, there must be its limit.

Dark briefly estimated that the six-star dragon species was probably at its limit, but after the transformation, Doron would definitely be stronger than the six-star magic elf.

If this is combined with his own "qi" and combat skills, he will indeed have a completely different powerful force than before.

"Every time I see someone else's magic card, I always want to own it... This is not okay."

Dark sighed in his heart and couldn't help but think.

He has his own armed system, so there is no need to envy Doron.

But if Pandora-senpai can master this type of dragon spear...

In this way, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Senior Sister Pandora. As expected, he saw that Senior Sister's eyes were full of energy, and she obviously had a new project goal.

Only by constantly drawing on the strengths of others can we continue to grow.

There is no reason to close the country in isolation.

…

The duel between Doron and Lyreira was very exciting, especially with several heart-tugging twists and turns.

Through this duel, the audience got some preliminary impressions of the Hai Tribe people.

It's just that Lyrela is so much like a human that it makes people less curious about observing the Sea Tribe people.

Her ability to release lightning is amazing, but some special individuals among humans and demihumans can also awaken various abilities. In the end, it is still not enough to have the characteristics of the sea tribe.

Of course, it might be completely different if there were a large group of electric eels standing in a row and all firing.

And with the end of this third duel, the audience became familiar with the duel under the new rules.

Duels in the past always felt like something was missing because the duelists never ended.

The duel under these new rules made people feel less like a magic duel because the duelists ended up in person.

In short, these two duel rules have their own advantages and disadvantages.

However, the initial impressions only stop here. After all, these three duels cannot fully demonstrate the new rules of duels, so the audience can only judge based on their impressions.

Moreover, the effect of watching the battle on the spot is actually good, especially when the duelists take part in person, which will make people feel more exciting and the adrenaline will surge.

The just-right background music also brought a different immersive experience to the audience.

Unfortunately, until now, they have not seen the role of the [Cemetery] in dueling. Maybe the duelists in the duel are not good enough, or there is something wrong with the rules themselves.

Anyway, the public is right and the mother-in-law is right. The fact that it can spark discussion is a success.

The post-match review of this duel was also very eye-catching.

After the game, the analyst explained several twists and turns based on his own understanding. He also explained the story of the Dragon Spear and the Stone Tablet, giving the audience a clear sense of "that's how it is."

This feeling of learning something is also the charm of post-match analysis.

Of course, the post-match interview session is not to be missed.

As an audience, in addition to watching the duels between duelists, they are also very interested in the duelists themselves, especially watching their interactions.

In this world without live broadcasts, watching the duelists' interviews and interactions is all the audience can achieve.

In this duel, as the first Sea Tribe to appear, Lairila not only showed her face, but also won the duel, and gained a lot of fans.

She stepped onto the host stage and answered the interview questions from Senior Judy. She was generous and decent throughout the whole process. She also praised her opponents quite a lot and handled them very well.

It can only be said that he is a combination of good looks + high IQ + high EQ, the perfect three-high sea tribe.

This made the audience's impression of the Sea Clan a little higher.

At this time, Duolong, who regretted his defeat, returned to the viewing platform.

He originally thought that the players on the viewing platform would say something about him, but as soon as he came up, he found that everyone was praising how powerful his [Dragon Spear] was.

He touched his nose and said very modestly: "Nothing, I just refined a gun at home. I originally wanted to get a weapon card, but I didn't expect it to be an armed card. It can be considered an unexpected surprise."

"What weapon?" Dak asked curiously.

Duolong didn't shy away from it and said directly: "It's just a rusty spear that has been at home for a long time. It looks like an antique. I had nothing to do, so I just used it. The result..."

Duck asked: "What happened?"

Doron said with some embarrassment: "Didn't I succeed in refining it by accident? So I went to my dad to brag about it, but when he saw the face of the magic card, he scolded me severely."

A rusty, damaged, unrecognizable, forgotten spear.

After being refined into a magic card, it regained its past appearance.

So the people who saw the magic card finally recalled their ancestors, and it seemed that there was indeed such a famous spear.

So what will happen to the person who refines such a spear handed down from his ancestors in his family?

Oh, he directly became a rising star in the family?

Dak looked strange as he listened.

If Duolong's [Dragon Spear] was made in this way, it would be difficult for outsiders to replicate it.

Moreover, if the things passed down by Duolong's ancestors can only be effective on dragon species with the highest six stars, then aren't his ancestors particularly wealthy?

Unless, his [Dragon Spear] still has room for upgrade.

But it would be rude to ask any more, so Duck didn't ask again.

"Lereela of the Sea Tribe should be among the stronger ones in the lower grade group, and is very likely to be in the main match. Although Doron lost, it can be considered that we have obtained information in advance. In short If you encounter Lereira in the main game later, you must prepare a strategy to deal with her lightning ability."

Duck briefly summarized and then ignored the matter.

Senior Sister Judy on the hosting stage also completed the interview and took out the magic tool from before again.

However, in front of the audience, she erased the bars with [St. Marian's College] and [Ocean Magic Academy] written on them, leaving only six colleges.

Since it is an exhibition match of the College Competition, it is of course impossible for St. Marian College to always participate.

If the option of St. Marian's College is not checked, those supporters who are dissatisfied with the defeat will definitely shout the name of St. Marian's College even harder, but that is not in line with the purpose of this event.

After the disappearance of [Saint Marian's College] and [Ocean Magic Academy], the audience's voices became much lower each time.

Soon after, [Sky Magic Academy] surpassed [War Totem Academy] in popularity and became the most popular academy. And [War Totem Academy] naturally became the second place.

So the fourth round of duel was determined to be [Sky Magic Academy] vs [War Totem Academy].

The reappearance of the orc players aroused cheers from the orc audience.

And more viewers are more interested in the appearance of [Sky Magic Academy].

In the last round of duels, Lairla from [Ocean Magic Academy] brought many surprises to the audience. What will [Sky Magic Academy] bring this time?

…

Perhaps because the contestants from [Saint Marian Academy] and [Ocean Magic Academy] were from the lower grade group, [Sky Magic Academy] followed the trend and sent a student from the lower grade group.

The student is not tall and has a childish face.

He is young but has a head full of white hair. If you just look at his back, he looks like a proper little old man.

After Senior Sister Judy saw him getting up, she directly reported his name and race.

But it is one of the extremely rare long-lived species in this world - [Old Man]!

The people of the [Old Man Clan] are completely opposite to the people of the [Fairy Clan]. The people of this race have white hair and beards from birth, and their body shape and personality are the same as those of ordinary old people. Only their faces change normally and they gradually age.

[Old people] who are over sixty years old are completely old. Their appearance will remain almost unchanged from now on, and their lifespans will be long.

After some discussion, the students of [Sky Magic Academy] sent out such an [old man] pre-contestant.

After the orcs of [War Totem Academy] saw that [Sky Magic Academy] sent an [Old Man], they also selected a tortoise orc with a carapace from among the pre-qualifiers in the lower grade group.

The characters of the tortoise orcs and the old people are very similar, and they both have a gentle temperament.

Not only their personalities, but also their action patterns are very similar.

The Tortoise Orcs move slowly because the turtle shell on their back is too heavy, while the [Old Man] moves slowly because of their physical characteristics.

Moreover, although the lifespan of the tortoise orcs is not as long as that of the [old people], they also have a lifespan similar to that of the elves.

But when the two contestants stepped onto the stage one after another, the atmosphere in the audience was much cooler than before.

It was as if their warmth had also infected the audience outside the venue.

…

Duck leaned on the back of his chair, tilting his head slightly to watch the duel from a more comfortable position.

He didn't know why, but he always had the feeling that if he looked at it for a while longer, [Laziness] would increase.

After a while, the tortoise beasts and the old people started dueling fields one after another, and then the two followed the same venue and started chatting like old acquaintances.

The referee did not make a sound, and the commentator did not speak. The entire audience listened to their chat, which lasted for a full one hundred and eighty seconds.

Then the duel enters [Preparation Phase 1].

The two players seemed to have just woken up. They quickly put their decks into the duel plate and started shuffling the cards.

Then... we started chatting again!

Another three minutes of small talk.

Chat fans are really making a lot of money!

It wasn't until the duel automatically jumped into [Preparation Phase 2] that the two players were startled again and started the real duel.

The duel plate automatically draws cards, and the projections of five magic cards are displayed in front of both sides.

Thirty seconds of thinking time was put to good use.

He has a meek personality and slow movements, but this does not mean he is slow in thinking.

If their thinking is slow, they will not be selected as pre-qualifiers.

However, after the duel entered the [combat phase], both players remained motionless, and there was no high-speed movement like the previous players.

They were very traditional from the start.

And it is a very coincidence that the starting magic spirits of the two players are both turtles!

The old players started by summoning a magical elf named [Young Tooth Turtle].

Although the name of the water-type reptile "Young Tooth Turtle" is "young", its actual size is quite large, with a body diameter of even more than two meters. It can be called a giant turtle.

The magic spirit summoned by the tortoise orc is the more common [Rock Turtle].

But that [Rock Turtle] is a six-star magic elf!

In other words, the tortoise orc directly summoned a six-star magic elf without any sacrifice!

When the [Rock Turtle] appeared, the scene that had become deserted quickly heated up.

The commentator took the opportunity to scream in surprise, and the audience also exclaimed.

The atmosphere finally warmed up a bit.

The Tortoise Orc's [Rock Turtle] mostly has the passive special move "As long as there is a ground turtle creature on the field, it can be specially summoned."

In this environment, the tortoise orcs were directly regarded as "ground turtle creatures", which met the conditions for the special summoning of the [Rock Turtle].

And if all his magic elves are in this mode, it means that he can fill the field with six-star magic elves at an extremely fast speed.

This is nothing in the duel between senior students, but in the junior group, it is definitely a crushing advantage.

However, just when the audience thought that the tortoise orcs had the upper hand, the [Young Tooth Turtle] summoned by the old man began to grow rapidly under a gray-white energy!

It was already huge, and as it grew, it became more and more like a hill.

And its card name also changed from [Young-toothed Turtle] to [Adult Turtle], until it became [Longevity Turtle].

The size of the [Longevity Turtle] has exceeded ten meters in diameter, and lying there can no longer be described as a hill.

And its star rating is no longer three stars, or even six stars.

"The magic elf of Nine Stars?"

Duck couldn't help but look shocked.

"Sky City, directly become a contestant?"

He quickly turned his head to look at the pre-competitors in Sky City, only to find that they all had normal looks on their faces, as if the transformation of the [Young Tooth Turtle] was very ordinary.

Tiffany and Disney even turned to each other and smiled.

Duck couldn't help but become serious.

If Laerila from [Ocean Magic Academy] showed him the strength of the sea tribe, then this old race player from [Sky Magic Academy] showed a bug.

What is the concept of being able to summon the nine-star magic spirit?

In the past, few seniors could do it.

Even though the old man's [Longevity Turtle] may not be very powerful, even if the Nine-Star Magical Elf is only used as a sacrifice, he can directly sacrifice and summon the same Nine-Star high-strength Magical Elf.

What's more, he only faced the normal lower grade group.

"I thought that the tactics of the tortoise orcs were already very powerful, but I didn't expect that the tactics of this old man were really powerful."

Duck took a deep breath, feeling slightly worried.

What he was even more worried about was whether the old man's tactics could be replicated by the longevity species of [Sky City].

As for the tactics of the tortoise orcs... there is no need to say more at all.

Not to mention the orcs, even the sea tribe might be able to recreate it.

Of course, when duelists take the field, even human duelists may replicate that tactic.

After all, [human species] is also a category of magic elves.

It's just that Magic Elf cards with that kind of characteristic are considered rare types, not that common, and their strength is generally not high.

After all, just that kind of characteristic occupies a special move slot, and it is impossible to have a gold card with four special moves.

In short, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

In comparison, technology that can directly change the time of magical elves and allow them to grow from childhood to old age is undoubtedly more terrifying.

This can be said to be similar to his evolutionary system.

"It is indeed a city in the sky."

Dak looked around and found that the expressions of the players around him were slightly solemn, and they were all thinking of the same thing.

…

Back on the field.

The tactical systems of the Old Man and the Tortoise Orcs are very similar, but from the starting point, it can be seen that the Old Man's tactical level is generally one level higher than that of the Tortoise Orcs.

The final result was no surprise.

The old people suppressed them everywhere, causing a dimensionality-reducing blow to the tortoise orcs.

In the end, he won without any doubt.

However, after the duel ended, the two players left the venue arm in arm.

It's like I finally found my soulmate in life.

It can be said that the two principles of peace and friendship of "friendship first, competition second" have been implemented.

…

After [Sky Magic Academy] and [War Totem Academy] appeared together, [Elf Magic Academy] and [Sacred Mystery Academy] finally appeared.

The popularity of these two academies is actually not weak, but the supporters don't like to shout loudly, so they lost on the vocals and finally made their debut.

Both academies also continued the previous duel and sent players from the lower grade group.

The player from the [Elven Magic Academy] is a forest elf, while the player from the [Sacred Mysteries Academy] is a paladin.

There is not much to say about the forest elf. As a female forest elf, she has the iconic appearance of the elves. Although she has exquisite facial features and a slender figure, standing with a group of forest elves, it is easy for people to not tell them apart.

The paladin student sent by [Holy Mysteries Academy] is an old acquaintance of St. Marian College - Justin Wayne, who decided to transfer to another school after experiencing an exchange student activity.

When Justin Wayne was at St. Marian College, he often expressed his admiration for the Paladin. Although his classmates were surprised by his behavior of transferring schools, they were not surprised.

I'm just a little angry about Justin Wayne's behavior of leaving without even saying goodbye.

Therefore, these days, although Justin Wayne has moved back into the Noble House Tower with several Paladin students from the Holy Mysteries Academy, even the few friends who had the best relationship with him before came to the door. Find him.

The opportunity to break the ice between them may have to wait until the students from the foreign colleges officially start school.

And now, when the third-year students of the Knights Academy saw Justin Wayne taking the field as a player from the Academy of Sacred Mysteries, they couldn't help but feel mixed emotions in their hearts.

If the rules hadn't been set at this stage, the students from the Knights Academy would have really wanted to challenge them!

Of course, the only player in the third year of the Knights Academy who can challenge is Witte Gaud...

So sometimes, it’s not something you can achieve just by thinking about it.

Now, they can only sit in the audience and watch.

Watching Justin Wayne completely transform into a paladin, watching Justin Wayne show his obviously stronger strength in the duel venue.

It has to be said that Justin Wayne is indeed a perfect fit for the Paladins. His current strength has changed a lot from when he was at St. Marian College.

Even though Dak was just watching from the sidelines, he could intuitively feel that he had indeed found his own way.

He even saw the shadow of Albert in "Twin Paladins" in Justin Wayne.

"Having the courage to let go of the past and pursue the path you want is also a kind of courage."

"I can only say that Justin is worthy of being a student of the Knights Academy."

Dak saw the good side of Justin Wayne.

He still admires this kind of person who unswervingly implements his own ideas.

of.

Because he himself is often not decisive.

…

The duel between the forest elf and Justin Wayne has a very ordinary excitement.

But Justin Wayne finally used the [Cemetery] in this duel.

He revived the dead magic elves from the [Cemetery] and besieged the forest elves by surprise, thereby gaining a staged advantage.

But the forest elves are also very tenacious, and they fight each other equally.

This duel can be called the first protracted battle since the start of the game.

The one who won in the end was the Paladin who was best at enduring a protracted battle.

Justin Wayne returned to St. Marian College and won his first game.

…

After [Elf Magic Academy] and [Holy Mystery Academy], it was finally the turn of [Royal Academy] and [Public Magic Equipment Academy] to come on stage.

Of these two colleges, one is currently the most high-profile college, and the other is currently the most low-key college.

Also in the lower grade group, [Royal Academy] sent a third-year magister who also majored in magic.

But the one who entered the [Public Magic Academy] was a dwarf.

The two contestants performed another mode of duel in front of the audience.

The dwarf player starts with a [Field Card].

But the range of the [Field Card] he summoned was not large, and the core of this [Field Card] was not the gain effect, but the arrow tower on the field.

Yes, basically, it was equivalent to him summoning an arrow tower in the duel venue.

He climbed onto the arrow tower and directly started to use the mechanism on the arrow tower to shoot arrows at the players of the [Royal Academy].

The students of [Royal Academy] summoned a [Giant Shield Guard].

The [Giant Shield Guard] was holding a huge shield and squatting on the ground, but even so he was taller than an average person.

The student hid behind the [Giant Shield Guard] and raised his hand to be bombarded by a series of magic!

He used magic cards as the main axis, filling the gaps with his own magic, and showed strong magic control capabilities in the process.

The arrows shot by the dwarves using the arrow tower could not reach him at all.

But his magic couldn't blow up the dwarf's steel arrow tower for a while.

A magical duel was turned into a tower defense game for these two people.

After that, the dwarf summoned a new magic elf to shoot arrows on his behalf.

Then he summoned a new arrow tower and deployed the magic elves there.

The Magical Elf he summoned was [Dwarf Legion], a legion-type Magical Elf card with a total of seven dwarves.

This means that he can build seven arrow towers, or seven similar structures, and let seven dwarves control them.

And he himself...changed to a giant robot!

Although the most famous one now is actually the [Steel Divine Weapon] of the elves, the dwarves and goblins have been doing scientific research. It would not be surprising if there are even more powerful giant robots hidden.

Seeing this, the [Royal Academy] students on the other side even built a fortress in front of their own field.

He stood behind the fortress, constantly summoning magic elves with long-range attacks, and bombarded the dwarves' positions.

The dwarf has a giant robot, and he has magic assistance. He keeps using small tricks to hinder the progress of the giant robot.

The positions and fortresses of both sides stood up and fell down, just like the artillery fire during the war.

The giant robot originally summoned by the dwarves was also riddled with holes under the constant bombardment - but it doesn't matter, just replace it with another one!

He had truly realized Dak's dream for a while, but the shapes of the huge robots he summoned were too rough, like crude industrial products.

Duck expressed regret.

If it were him, hmm hmm hmm...

Okay, I woke up from the dream.

Duck continues to watch the duel.

Magicians actually have considerable limitations in such a duel.

The magic that can be released in a short period of time is low-level magic with low power, and the magister must be constantly summoned during the duel, and it is impossible to maintain long-term magic chanting.

Only some unconventional magisters can do things that normal magisters cannot.

For example, there is no chanting, or spell casting is shortened, and medium and high-level magic can be performed.

If it can be done, it can basically achieve the same effect as Lyrela of the Sea Tribe.

But this magician from the [Royal Academy] obviously can't do it yet.

The low-level magic he usually cast couldn't penetrate the giant robot's defense at all.

Under the continuous advancement of the dwarves, he was finally unable to hold on and was completely pushed down.

This also means that his defeat is certain.

…

The students of [Royal Academy] who returned from the duel venue showed very obvious depression.

However, the students of [Royal Academy] unexpectedly did not show harsh criticism towards him.

The dwarf contestant who came to the host stage for an interview excitedly talked about his love for giant robots.

After he talked non-stop for a long time, he suddenly woke up, rubbed the back of his head with an honest look, and turned to ask Senior Judy: "What question did you just ask?"

Senior Judy said with a gentle face that she didn't ask anything, and then invited him down.

In this way, eight colleges

They all took turns to appear in the exhibition match, and she had achieved half of her task targets. The next step was to play freely.

Thinking of this, Senior Sister Judy smiled slightly excitedly.

She glanced at the audience outside the venue and saw that they were also waiting for her to announce the next gameplay. She waved slightly, moved the magic item to her side, and then erased the histogram on the screen.

"Next, let's change the way we play."

Senior Judy said with a smile.

Then she lightly patted the magic tool, and words burst out one after another, jumping in the air like beans.

"These words will form the names of all pre-qualifiers."

"From white to blue to purple to orange to gold, the more and louder you call these names, the darker and darker they become, until they turn into brilliant gold."

"Yes, next, the audience will nominate the contestants - of course, the two selected contestants must be from different colleges and in the same group. After all, we are at the site of the college competition."

As soon as she finished speaking, those words had turned into densely packed names.

Eight colleges, each with twenty-four players, a total of one hundred and ninety-two names.

These one hundred and ninety-two names are divided into eight square arrays according to the colleges. Every time someone calls them, the names in them will flash for a moment, then the color will become darker, and when it turns purple, it will still glow.

Seeing this battle, the audience outside the venue suddenly became excited.

They have never seen a duel in this mode. A duel in which the audience can designate a character to appear is simply not very interesting.

Unfortunately, players from the same academy cannot be designated to duel, otherwise...

After all, St. Marian College has the largest number of dueling branches in the human kingdom, so the audience at the scene is mainly human.

Although many new venues have been built in the territories of other races during this period.

The more human viewers there are, the greater the probability of human players being selected.

Among the three major human colleges, the duelists from Saint Marian College are the most famous.

If there were no restrictions on different colleges, in the end it would probably always be two duelists from St. Marian College dueling.

So what now?

St. Marian's College vs. All Other Colleges?

…

“Has this pattern been mentioned before?”

On the viewing platform, Dark Dimon couldn't help but frown.

He believes that the exhibition stage has always been prepared for pre-qualifiers who have not been selected for the main competition.

But if the audience were to designate the contestants, wouldn’t they, the main contestants, also have to leave?

This is undoubtedly very detrimental to the selected contestants.

Moreover, he still has a certain understanding of his current popularity.

If this pattern continues, among the one hundred and ninety-two names on that side, he will definitely be the one shining with golden light.

And he was not prepared to play at all today, and his magical elves were all doing what they liked - many of them were even watching the game in the ring auditorium of the duel hall!

"Okay, now it's really going to be an exhibition match."

Dark couldn't help but look blank as he tried to figure out the magic card he could use now.

His sacred weapon [Scabbard] is still in the dormitory, even if he wants to perform [Holy Sword] in the duel field, he will not be able to do it.

Of course, his desire to win is not that strong. There is no big problem in cooperating with him to perform in exhibition matches, but it is troublesome to put together a temporary deck.

"Hey, it's not necessarily me. Aren't Senior Sisters Pandora and Senior Sister Winnie going to support it?"

"Wait until their duel is over, and then give some advice and ask Senior Judy to ban the Saint Marian College roster first. Can't there be players from Saint Marian College in every game?"

"Reasonable!"

Duck clapped his hands, feeling that his idea made sense.

So he no longer worried, raised his head and continued to look at the host table.

Senior Judy announced the start of the nomination session with an excited look on her face.

Those layers of audience projections transmitted through the space hub suddenly cheered with great excitement.

The one hundred and ninety-two names on the host stage started flashing in an instant.

The audience actually doesn't know the names of people who are not of their own race, and they basically only choose from the names they know.

Among the one hundred and ninety-two names, the most famous one is not actually Duck, Pandora or Winnie.

But Anna and Angel, who are the princesses of the kingdom!

…

"Anna, your name is on display."

"An Qi, your name is blue."

"Heh, the blue one is faster than you."

"My name is also blue!"

"Yes, yes, you are blue too. Not only are you blue, you are almost purple."

"I can't help it. Who told me to turn red and purple?"

"Then you go on stage first!"

"I'll go first, I'll go first, after all, I'm my sister."

"Bah, bah, bah!"

Anna and An Qi's screams kept ringing in my ears.

Dark stared at the name on the host table without blinking.

Anna and An Qi's names did pop up quickly, but they

The name is not to be outdone.

The name of the son of the Kingdom's Valkyrie has become increasingly loud, especially in the past two years. From the speed at which the name shines today, it can be seen that Dark Dimon's name has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

But in fact, this has nothing to do with the title of "Son of the Valkyrie".

After all, two years ago, even if he walked on a crowded street, he would not be recognized at all.

On the other side.

Witte Gaud, who wears the title of "Son of the Brave", is getting famous faster and faster.

Two princesses, the son of the Valkyrie, the son of the brave man.

Because of their respective identities, the spread of these four names among the people of the kingdom is actually very exaggerated.

compare to.

The names of Pandora and Winnie are actually more popular among duel enthusiasts.

But this time the spectators who crowded into the dueling hall to watch the battle were not just dueling enthusiasts.

Therefore, although the frequency of their two names shining is also very high, they cannot surpass the four names above.

Even Aurora, who has a strong presence in the parliamentary election, has comparable popularity.

Aurora's fame was not unexpected, but it seems that people's attention to the City of Freedom is really getting higher and higher.

In short, the popular players here at St. Marian College are already very obvious.

In order, there are Anna, Angel, Dark, Werther, Pandora, Aurora, Winnie...and then Doron, who has just been in the limelight.

After all, there are always people who call out his name based on impressions.

Outside of St. Marian College, the popularity among players from other colleges quickly became apparent.

The popularity of War Totem Academy is basically concentrated on the 22nd Prince Grace Leon of [Lionheart King].

In addition, the orc royal families around him are also very popular.

Spike Leon, who has just appeared, also shows high popularity for the same reasons as Doron.

After that comes the Academy of Elven Magic.

Among the list of Elf Magic Academy, the most eye-catching one turned out to be Nono Artemis, followed by several months of elves and several other very famous elves. The previous prairie elves also showed high popularity. .

This is very surprising.

Regarding this result, Nono Artemis could only open her mouth wide and couldn't say a word.

The elven girls around her were teasing her.

then.

Not to mention the public Magic Academy, Sky Magic Academy and Ocean Magic Academy.

The former is quite popular, after all, there are dwarves and goblins watching the game.

The latter two academies are completely inadequate in this mode of popularity competition.

If the name of the college is mentioned alone, they may be able to attract popularity.

But if you break it down to individual names... the audience can't tell who they are at all.

As a result, there were almost no bright spots on the rosters of Sky Magic Academy and Ocean Magic Academy. The only bright spots were the two who had played before.

Among them, Lyrela is more popular than the elderly players because of her appearance advantage.

After these academies are the Academy of Sacred Mysteries and the Royal Academy of the Kingdom.

Among the pre-qualifiers of the Sacred Mystery Academy, many are actually very well-known.

This has a very close relationship with the intentional propaganda of the Holy Religion.

If the [Gemini Paladins] hadn't graduated yet, the two of them would definitely become the most popular.

Now, Evan Pearson, who is the [Holy Son], and Audrey Joan of Arc, who is the Saint, have replaced them and become the most popular duo.

Their popularity is not even inferior to those from St. Marian College.

In comparison, the preliminaries of the Royal Academy of the Kingdom are not so popular.

After all, the Royal Academy is dominated by aristocratic children. Except for some special admissions, there are no non-aristocratic students.

But the nobles among the nobles, the few people standing at the top, are all in St. Marian College, which is very embarrassing.

Therefore, there are not many names that can be highlighted on the Royal Academy's list.

Among them, Quintina North's name is prominently listed.

But that is probably due to the enthusiasm contributed by the Northland audience.

…

About five minutes later, Senior Judy raised her hand to silence the audience's voices, and then turned around with interest to look at the list of eight colleges.

All the spectators looked over excitedly, and saw only a few of the names shining brightly with golden light, which was so bright that it was impossible to tell whether the brightness was strong or weak.

"Hey."

Looking at this scene, Senior Sister Judy couldn't help but stick out her tongue and pretend to be good.

On the panel of St. Marian College, the names of Anna, Angel, Duck, Witt, Pandora and others are almost connected together. It is really impossible for people to choose the one with the highest brightness.

On the panels of other colleges, the names of the orc prince Grace Leon were also shining brightly, reaching a limit.

"Then..."

Senior Judy's eyes kept wandering, obviously thinking about the whole thing.

"Grace Leon is in the senior group. Unfortunately, the most popular ones are in the junior group. So it's the Son and the Saint... let's do that!"

Senior Sister Judy clapped her hands suddenly.

"In the next match, our second princess Anna will face Evan Pearson, the Holy Son of the Holy Religion."

"The next match will be between the third princess, Angel, and the Saint Audrey Joan of Arc."

"Hey, no. Doesn't this become a showdown between the royal family and the Holy Religion?"

"I, Judy, am not someone who deliberately sets the pace."

"So, let's let the completely unrhythmic [Son of the Stars] Dark Dimon face the fellow third-year [Holy Son] Evan Pearson in this round, right?"

"What do you think?"

…

"I don't think so."

Dark just wanted to complain.

But the audience seemed very satisfied with Senior Judy's choice, and the cheers from the audience were getting louder and louder.

And other races that are not human seem to be very interested in Evan Pearson who has the label of [Holy Son].

As for Dark Demon, hehe, that name is so bright that it almost blinds people. He should be a very famous figure among humans, right?

Speaking of which, is there a second-level member of the [Magic Alliance] with the same name?

Well, the same name.

A beast with the same name!

In the midst of complaints and slander, when they called Dak's name, they cheered even more.

…

"Hi, Dak." Anna came over and squeezed Dak's shoulder, winking and said, "It seems that your popularity has surpassed that of An Qi and me. How about giving Evan a good beating on our behalf?" ·Pearson?”

"Don't use us, use you!" An Qi complained, but Anna ignored it at all.

Dak really didn't want to fight against Evan Pearson at all. The script in his heart should be Vit Gold vs. Evan Pearson. Only then would it feel like a fateful battle.

But in this situation, he just felt a headache.

So he subconsciously turned around and looked around, only to see Senior Sister Pandora looking at him with narrow eyes.

Dark stared back, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Senior Pandora rolled her eyes, indicating that it had nothing to do with her.

"Dakdak, don't you want to go?" Diana asked.

Aurora and Rose also cast concerned looks.

Dak took a small breath and said: "It's not that we can't play. Although the main competition is a single elimination, with the strength of the players of the Sacred Mysteries Academy, the probability of facing us is still relatively high. It's just the right time to play. Test his moisture.”

Doron said: "I have a fairly good understanding of Evan Pearson's strength, but that was all information from four months ago, and it doesn't feel very meaningful."

Dak nodded and said, "Four months is enough to change a lot."

Moreover, Evan Pearson’s exchange student life at St. Marian College was actually very rewarding.

For him, the biggest gain was that it sharpened his character and made him more mature.

And after he has grown mentally, he will definitely make great progress in terms of hard power when he returns to the Academy of Sacred Mysteries.

To put it simply, Evan Pearson is no longer the easy guy to deal with.

Although he is only a third-year student, in fact, grade can no longer be used as an indicator of the strength of students like him.

If St. Marian College faces the College of Divine Mysteries.

In the duel of the lower grade group, the one who can compete with Evan Pearson might be Dak himself.

However, Dark still believed that Audrey Joan of Arc, whose soul of the God of War had awakened, was more dangerous, so he planned to let Werther fight against Evan Pearson.

"Forget it, since we happened to meet him, it just happened to be a stepping stone for Werther to help him find out about Evan Pearson."

Dark turned to look at Werther, his eyes indicating.

Werther nodded to express his understanding.

Dak stood up and walked off the viewing platform.

Partition walls have ears.

Everyone is on the spectator stand, so of course we can’t explain the tactics in too much detail.

No matter what, he was always a stickler for the rules.

Since Senior Judy wants to do this job, let's cooperate with her performance and have an exhibition game that can bring smiles to people's faces.

And to be honest, it really doesn't make much sense for Anna and An Qi to fight against the Son and the Saint.

Although the two little princesses also struggled out of the hell of the palace, although their talents were high, they lacked some qualities that could bring victory.

If they want to transform, they also need a certain degree of opportunity.

Now is the critical moment to seize opportunities.

For their exhibition matches, it is best to compete with evenly matched opponents, so as to obtain as many [divine causes] as possible.

When Dak walked down from the viewing platform, his heart was clear.

When soldiers come, the water comes and the earth covers them. Isn't he always like this?

I got a little excited.

…

Followed by.

[Holy Son] Evan Pearson also came down from the viewing platform.

But unlike Dak, who always had a calm face, this time Evan Pearson was clearly beaming with joy.

I don't know since when, he has become a good boy who is willing to express his true feelings.

As early as when he was an exchange student, Evan Pearson really wanted to have a duel with Dak.

Although he never had a chance due to various reasons, and when he later paid special attention to the College Cup of St. Marian College, he also realized that he was definitely not Dak's opponent at that time, but a duel does not necessarily have to be a winner or a loser, right?

Evan Pearson is no longer shy about failure.

He strode forward and took the initiative to greet Dak: "Oh haha."

Who are you?

Duck suppressed his strong desire to complain and said: "Hello, Evan."

Evan Pearson came close and said, "Hey, is this really your intention? I heard what Doron said, and he said he heard it from you by chance."

Doron!

Duck said: "It's just a randomly made-up word. Speaking of which, are you used to living in the academy?"

Evan Pearson said: "Of course I am used to it. Coming to St. Marian College is like returning home. Unfortunately, the college competition only lasts for one month. It would be nice if it could be longer."

Are you really addicted to staying here?

Dak couldn't help but said: "Speaking of which, if I have the chance, I would also like to visit the Sacred Mysteries Academy."

Evan Pearson suddenly said excitedly: "Really? You must inform me when the time comes, and I will lead the way this time."

Dak smiled and said: "If there is a chance, definitely."

Then the two of them climbed onto the high platform used for dueling.

duel!
