Chapter 278

"My turn." Ma Yulan's first move.

"Activate Field Spell Card, Aroma Garden."

She placed the card onto the Duel Disk that had turned from a staff. Immediately after, the curtain made of vines behind her opened automatically, revealing a winding but not long path. At the end of the path was a classical residence, accompanied by countless flowers and birds all around. At a glance, one felt as if their soul had been healed.

"Summon Jasmine in Defense Position."

A white-haired Spellcaster carrying a waist bag appeared on her field with a pop, as if flashing.

Aromage Jasmine, Level 2, Light Attribute, Plant-Type, DEF 1900.

Summoning Jasmine from the Aromage series in Defense Position.

Tiancheng Guang thought for a moment.

Looking at it this way, because this world allows Normal Summoning in Defense Position, cards like Aroma are actually strengthened to a certain extent.

"Activate Aroma Garden's effect, once per turn, if there is an 【Aroma】 monster on my field, I gain 500 Life Points."

Golden light spots emerged from the nearby flowers. Ma Yulan opened her arms and closed her eyes, embracing these lights. Because of this action of closing her eyes and opening her arms, the people around cheered again.

Ma Yulan LP: 4000→4500.

"Jasmine's effect, once per turn, activate when my Life Points are recovered. Draw one card."

Ma Yulan drew a card from her deck.

"In addition, after Aroma Garden's effect is activated, the ATK and DEF of monsters on my field increase by 500 until the end of the opponent's turn."

Jasmine, DEF: 1900→2400.

"It's not over yet. When Jasmine is on the field, if my Life Points are higher than the opponent's, I can perform an additional summon besides the Normal Summon. I Normal Summon, Rosemary."

"Coming coming~~" Rosemary, who was to the side, heard her sister's summon and ran over without delay.

Aromage Rosemary, Level 4, Water Attribute, Plant-Type, ATK 1800→2300.

"Then, set one card, end turn."

Fortunately.

Tiancheng Guang looked at this scene, pondering in his heart.

After all, there is no Link, and Aroma's maximum ability as a Plant-Type series cannot be exerted, so it seems to be following a standard beat strategy.

"So that's it, increasing hand cards and enhancing the combat ability of monsters on the field through Life Point recovery, and defeating the opponent through accumulating resources?" Sanze Dadi was quite serious when dueling. Looking at Ma Yulan's few cards, he roughly understood the Aroma deck's strategy.

"It's just two monsters with over two thousand points. Master can easily defeat them!" Serena was very confident in Tiancheng Guang's power, gently tilting her head up.

"No, this is actually a quite terrible opponent for Guang." Sanze Dadi shook his head. "Guang's Fusion is indeed quite powerful, but he cannot change one status quo, which is that his dueling resources decrease every turn.

Even if he can fuse every turn, the opponent is also constantly replenishing the deck and increasing life. In the end, it is very likely that Guang will have only one hand card while Ma Yulan still has a full hand."

Hearing this, Serena was stunned for a moment.

Eh eh?

"Ha, didn't expect you to be quite smart." On the other side, the Doctor of Mathematics nodded in approval upon hearing Sanze Dadi's words. "Dueling is mathematics and probability. Ma Yulan-san's deck is exactly a deck of mathematical charm!"

The other boys on the other side didn't think that much; they just knew that Ma Yulan-san seemed to have the advantage, so they started cheering for Ma Yulan, and some even shouted directly: "Ma Yulan-san! Tiancheng Guang's deck is full of Fusion-related cards, be careful!"

"Please don't say such things that affect the duel!" Ma Yulan was a bit angry despite her good temper.

No matter what, she was a spirit of dueling.

Hearing such words, she wouldn't feel comfortable at all.

She looked at her opponent, who had not had any emotional changes from before the duel started until now. The only difference was that after the duel started, a "Shaddoll Midrash" spirit appeared beside him, looking at his hand cards with interest.

According to Kaiba Corporation, she, this "Twelve-Star Duelist", was a role like an examiner, needing to bring out different levels of skill for students of different grades, but because the people around were really too annoying, she subconsciously used all the cards she should have used right from the start.

Don't know how the kid opposite will duel...

"My turn—draw card!"

Tiancheng Guang drew a card quickly.

"Wuhu, here it comes!" Tiera saw the card Tiancheng Guang drew, her eyes lighting up. "A creature with super design sense, I like it very much—"

Being able to make Tiera, who hates carbon-based life forms, say such things showed that she really liked this card.

Seeing this, Tiancheng Guang did not delay.

"Normal Summon, Predaplant Sundew Kingii!"

"Hiss!"

A lizard that was entirely green, with a crest like a leaf and countless red dot-like nodes on its body, appeared on Tiancheng Guang's field.

Predaplant Sundew Kingii, Level 2, Dark Attribute, Plant-Type, ATK 600.

"Predaplant?"

"What kind of card is that."

"Never heard of this monster."

"Looks so disgusting."

Ma Yulan blinked.

Although she hadn't seen it much, she had heard of Predaplant: "So it's a monster of the same race..."

"What is this, a Plant-Type monster?"

"Completely different from Ma Yulan-san!"

"Ma Yulan-san, you are the most beautiful!"

"Naturally evil Fusion brat, the monster he uses is also so ugly."

"Shut up!" Ma Yulan couldn't bear it anymore and shouted at the surroundings. After shouting, realizing her loss of composure just now, she coughed and said again, "Can everyone please be quiet? When dueling, don't affect the warriors on both sides."

She turned her head to look at Tiancheng Guang: "Sorry, because of me..."

"It's okay."

"Hmm?"

"Appearance is the most secondary thing!" Tiancheng Guang held the monster in his hand. "The key is whether it fuses!"

"Er—" Ma Yulan couldn't keep up with the conversation.

"Activate monster effect, once per turn, during the Main Phase, this card can be sent to the Graveyard along with monsters on my hand/field and the opponent's field that have Predaplant counters, to perform a Fusion Summon of a Dark Attribute Fusion Monster!"

"Opponent!?" Ma Yulan was stunned for a moment.

However, she didn't have any Predaplant counters on her field.

"Fuse Shaddoll Dragon from my hand with Predaplant Sundew Kingii on the field!"

"Fusion Summon!"

Boom—

A huge pink flower crown rose from the earth, and immediately after, two thick vines filled the entire field, then cracked open, turning into two huge blood-red mouths.

"Appear!"

"Level 7, Predaplant Chimerafflesia!"
