Chapter 152: Lei Lei Yuanlong—Lei Long

Compared to the hundred-year dragon, which still requires careful consideration, the nine-snake peacock was far more direct.

"My draw phase. I activate the spell card, Black Hole."

"Eh?!" Chui Xue hadn't expected this bird-beast warrior to be so aggressive right away, "But if you do that, your own monsters will be destroyed too!"

"It's fine." The nine-snake peacock gently preened its feathers with its beak.

The next instant, a massive black sphere appeared on top of Tian Lei Lei Zhenlong, absorbing both black dragons before vanishing into thin air.

"Ah! Why are you destroying your own monster too?!"

"Waaah… so sad…"

Some young spirits couldn't accept the act of destroying their own monsters.

In that sense, this duel was indeed meaningful for young spirits.

"I activate the effect of the Dark Dragon Collapse Star Snake."

"!? What?" Chui Xue froze, stunned as the nine-snake peacock activated an effect from its graveyard.

The currently popular "Standard Tag Duel" in the Spirit World is the tag format most duelists are accustomed to today. Though different from human-world tag duels, it has gradually gained popularity due to being more "refined."

In this rule, tag duels are less like "2v2" and more like "alternating duels."

Although there are four participants, each pair on either side shares only one field: five monster zones, five spell zones, one graveyard, and one exile zone.

When it is not your turn, or not your turn's immediate next turn—that is, your opponent's turn—your deck is treated as "nonexistent," so effects that retrieve cards sent to the graveyard cannot be activated under these conditions.

Precisely because of this factor, Tian Shang Tianshang Yuan Chui Xue chose not to destroy monsters but to directly reduce life points. But now—

The nine-snake peacock was checking its own deck!

"I add the Radiant White Dragon, Stormwing Dragon from my deck to my hand." It showed the card and added it to its hand.

"Radiant White Dragon… could its effect be searching for the Dark Dragon? If so… that means your deck contains six copies of the same card!"

Normally, a deck can contain at most three copies of the same card.

But in tag duels… it's different!

The decks of the hundred-year dragon and the nine-snake peacock might even be "similar"!

"We are warriors guarding the 【Mountain】. To better protect the 【Mountain】, our decks naturally have stronger connections," the nine-snake peacock said casually. "Now, I normal summon the Harpy Spiritualist."

"Hmm hmm~~"

As the nine-snake peacock moved, a cute girl with a beautiful circular hairstyle, black feathered wings on her arms, and bird-like talons for hands and feet flew down from the sky.

Harpy Spiritualist, Level 4, Wind Attribute, Bird Beast Type, ATK: 1400.

"Harpy Spiritualist?" Seeing this adorable monster appear, Chui Xue instinctively snapped a photo, then muttered under his breath, "I should get Ming Ri Xiang to cosplay this."

"What is this human even thinking?" Ye La clenched her fist and lightly tapped her forehead.

"Hahaha, don't worry, Midelash! Harpy Ladies are a classic card—taught in schools, so no problem—"

How enviable his confidence was.

With this Harpy Spiritualist on the field, what if they try to Synchro later?

Fortunately, the nine-snake peacock's next move didn't follow Tiancheng Guang's expectations.

"I activate the effect of the Harpy Spiritualist: to activate, I must discard one 【Harpy】 card from my hand. Then, I can special summon one 【Harpy】 monster, other than Harpy Spiritualist, in defense position from my deck."

Discard the Three Harpy Sisters.

Special summon, Harpy Dancer.

At its cry, the silver-haired bird-beast nearby, who had just finished tending to the young spirits, flapped its wings, scattering white feathers into the breeze. Amid the drifting feathers, it danced a magnificent dance.

Harpy Dancer, Level 4, Wind Attribute, Bird Beast Type, DEF: 1000.

"So beautiful." Chui Xue snapped another photo.

"The beauty's just beginning, human!" The nine-snake peacock, clearly an extremist duelist, grew furious at Chui Xue's lack of "warrior's pride," "I activate the effect of this card in my hand: by banishing one dark-attribute and one wind-attribute monster from my graveyard, I can special summon!"

Boom—

Boom—

Boom boom boom—

Wind, gale, hurricane—

A violent storm swept across the field, hurling nearby spirits into the air. Many adult spirits rushed to catch their young. Slowly, a colossal divine bird, pitch-black and radiating terrifying aura, its back encircled by a radiant halo, descended to the ground.

"Banish the Dark Dragon and Harpy Witch—special summon, Dark Divine Bird Smov!"

Dark Divine Bird Smov, Level 7, Dark Attribute, Bird Beast Type, ATK: 2700.

"Attack! Dark Divine Bird, direct attack!"

The feathers behind the nine-snake peacock stood erect like swords, pointing directly at Tian Shang Tianshang Yuan Chui Xue.

With a thunderous barrage, black feathers embedded themselves all over Chui Xue's body, leaving his usually immaculate appearance utterly disheveled.

Student Team LP: 8000 → 5300.

"Not over yet! Harpy Spiritualist, direct attack!"

"Wait! I activate a trap card: Red-Eyes Soul!" Suddenly, as the Harpy Spiritualist raised its staff to strike his head, Chui Xue flipped his face-down card, "This card can revive one Red-Eyes monster from the graveyard!"

"I special summon Red-Eyes Black Dragon in attack position!"

"Roar!"

The black dragon reappeared!

Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Level 7, Dark Attribute, Dragon Type, ATK: 2400.

"Heh, desperate flailing. I cover one card. End phase."

"Phew… made it," Chui Xue sighed, then apologized, "Sorry, Ah Guang, I've caused you trouble."

He glanced at the Dark Divine Bird: "The effect of Dark Divine Bird is: as long as it's on the field, your opponent cannot set cards…"

"Not only did I fail to give you a good position, I've forced you to face a lockdown monster." He scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly.

"It's fine, Senior. I can handle it."

To be blunt—Tian Shang Tianshang Yuan Chui Xue is, in fact, the legendary undefeated player of Yu Gi Oh GX!

Tiancheng Guang never expected him to leave him a favorable position.

Besides, he's the "Number 4" position—traditionally the tag-duel prison spot. That Chui Xue left him even one trap and one monster card was already excellent.

The hundred-year dragon was no better.

If tag duels can't crush the opponent, you must play patiently—focus on endurance and support.

He drew a card.

At that moment, he noticed several spirits had gathered around them, watching.

Though most didn't speak, only stared curiously, it still made Tiancheng Guang feel slightly uneasy.

But Ye La made no move to stop them.

At that moment, Tiancheng Guang heard a sizzling sound. Instinctively tilting his head, a golden, sparking sphere floated past his face.

The next instant—

"Eh? You're gonna lose for sure!" came a high-pitched, childish voice.

?

Does this lightning ball have a voice?

Ah—

It's not a "ball."

"Hey, Xiao Yuan, don't interrupt the warrior's thoughts—that's disrespectful!" A spirit reached out to grab it.

"But he's got nothing but… ah—anyway, he's definitely gonna lose!"

Tian Lei Lei Zhenlong gently lowered its head. A flash of electricity surged across its body, capturing the lightning sphere that had been hovering near Tiancheng Guang, dragging it aside. It then bowed sincerely: "My apologies, human warrior. This little Yuan is one of our Thunder Clan's spirits. It's always curious about everything—never expected it would peek at your hand today…"

At that moment, Tiancheng Guang realized its identity.

Lei Lei Yuanlong—Lei Long!

"No problem! Even if you say it out loud—it's fine," Tiancheng Guang smiled broadly, "That's right—my entire hand is spell cards!"

"What?!"

"Whoa?!"

"Huh?!"

A group of young spirits erupted in chatter. Even some adult guardians were momentarily confused.

Is that… correct?

If all your cards are spells, how do you win?

"Then let me reintroduce myself once more! All spirits!" Tiancheng Guang took a deep breath and shouted toward the sky. Simultaneously, Tian Shang Tianshang Yuan Chui Xue—who excelled at such theatrics—produced a blinding spotlight from nowhere and shone it directly on Tiancheng Guang.

The atmosphere was perfectly set.

"I am a duelist who pursues ultimate fusion. I extend this invitation to every spirit here: if you seek fusion, follow me—come freely!"

"And now, I shall demonstrate—Full Fusion Duel!"

"So cool!" The young spirits had never seen such a heroic, confident debut. They were utterly swept away by the atmosphere, forgetting entirely that Tiancheng Guang's teammate was a life-point-burning duelist.

"Wooah!"

Sizzle sizzle—the golden lightning sphere flared violently. At its core, a tiny dragon-shaped shadow, like a writhing serpent, twisted excitedly. Just from its sound, you could tell how ecstatic it was.

"Then… first card!"

Chapter Three, hmm, I don't think I'll finish writing a tag duel day today. Anyway, let's ask for votes first—I'll write as much as I can.
