Chapter 419: Observing the Competition (Vote for the monthly ticket)

"Light and Darkness Dragon, direct attack!"

"Gwah—"

Boom, boom.

Three days later.

The first duel of the second round.

Although Gloria had given it her all, it was a pity that sometimes one needs a little bit of luck.

After losing the duel, Gloria glanced off the stage and caught a glimpse of Tiancheng Guang, who was watching from a relatively close distance in the preparation hall. Her face flushed, and she silently headed toward the revival tournament hall.

Although she had lost, there was still the revival tournament. Even though there was only one spot left in the revival tournament by that point, she couldn't just give up now, could she?

Thinking back to how she had patted her chest and guaranteed to Tiancheng Guang that she would win, only to be questioned by him, and now having to run away in shame, Gloria felt her face burning and hurried away.

Tiancheng Guang didn't know what to say.

He could only say that this phrase was indeed a taboo.

The second round of duels began to unfold quickly. The duels in this stage were even more intense, and the audience gradually developed the habit of watching at this fixed time every day.

Because several people had made it through the revival tournament, although they played well, many people could clearly feel a significant gap between them and the second-round duelists—Gloria also fell into this category; she was the type who was particularly unlucky.

Honestly, after watching Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu's duel, Tiancheng Guang felt that this Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu was not necessarily inferior to Judai or Ai De; there was an indescribable feeling that he was ridiculously strong.

In short, in Tiancheng Guang's view, running into Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu right off the bat was undoubtedly very unlucky for Gloria.

Not to mention that Gloria only had eyes for herself and had never cared about Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu at all; it was only natural that she lost.

Because he was the last duelist to compete in the second round, Tiancheng Guang had plenty of free time to observe and study the others.

He focused on studying the decks of his friends.

The Tian Shangyuan siblings: Ming Ri Xiang was still using the Cyber Angel series. Although there were no changes, the effect of the Cow Angel was indeed quite strong, and as a ritual support card, the resource cycle of Cyber Angel was also quite good, so she easily defeated her opponent.

And Tian Shangyuan Chui Xue...

Tiancheng Guang watched one of his duels.

What surprised Tiancheng Guang was that Tian Shangyuan Chui Xue's deck was no longer "Red-Eyes."

Of course, one couldn't say that for certain.

His deck had become a peculiar one mixed with Red-Eyes and Winged-Beast types, and it also contained many strange spells and traps; it looked very performance-oriented.

Although it was just a change in the deck, honestly, this was no simple matter.

It might not be a big deal for other friends to change components in their decks, but this was Tian Shangyuan Chui Xue!

Previously, Tian Shangyuan Chui Xue had been influenced by the power of Darkness; no matter what deck he used, the cards in his deck would turn into the Red-Eyes series. But now, Chui Xue could use other cards, which meant that Tian Shangyuan Chui Xue had, to a certain extent, even adapted to the power of Darkness.

Exaggerated, but reasonable—because in the original work, Tian Shangyuan Chui Xue had achieved this.

But what exactly had he done during this time to increase his spirit adaptability so much? He wasn't wearing the Darkness mask every day, was he?

That would be too desperate.

However, when this thought crossed Tiancheng Guang's mind, he gradually felt that this might really be the answer.

For the sake of Kai Sa, nothing Chui Xue did would be surprising.

Other friends: San Ze's deck was mixed with Amazoness, Obrien's deck contained other Pyro-type monsters, and as for Ji Mu, just like in the animated original, he used the Fossil series—but it was clearly not the original version of the Fossil series.

It was estimated that he had collected the Fossil Fusion cards himself.

The strength was actually not low.

As for Hell Kai Sa, Maruto Ryō himself, that went without saying.

Cyber End Dragon, Chimeratech Overdragon, Cyber Dragon Nova—he used every type of card, without the slightest sign of being unable to stay calm in his frantic pursuit of victory.

It was worth mentioning that Tiancheng Guang saw that John's spell and trap cards were quite complete, even including the Bridge of Salvation.

The Crystal Beast family might not be very strong, but the spell and trap cards related to Crystal Beasts were quite high-quality.

Life is not easy, the family is not favored, so they can only use spells and traps to assist them.

While Tiancheng Guang was studying others, others were naturally studying him. Compared to other contestants, Tiancheng Guang was very famous, only slightly lower than Kai Sa, but many people already knew very well what kind of deck Tiancheng Guang used.

A small number of fusion materials and a large number of fusion cards.

Combined with a large number of portable fusion cards, a small number of fusion disruption cards, and a large number of powerful fusion monsters, he dealt with different situations in different ways, responding to every duel flexibly and variably.

Ansel checked his deck and, in addition to Skill Drain, added several cards he considered quite useful.

As time passed, the schedule soon reached Tiancheng Guang's turn.

Tiancheng Guang walked slowly into the duel arena. When the audience in the arena saw him, they burst into cheers.

Tiancheng Guang waved to them while observing the surroundings.

He discovered that the duel arena seemed to have undergone some changes, and there were some people from the Kaiba Corporation communicating and working in low voices.

Judging by this setup, it seemed that after this round of duels ended, the duel arena would undergo large-scale modifications.

"The last duel of the second round, now begins!"

Enthusiastic applause began to rise.

Along with the applause, suddenly with a "boom," huge flames erupted all around. A spirit jumped up in fright, wanting to put out the fire, but the next second, the flames split apart and turned into starlight, dotting the sky above the duel arena and sketching out two huge cards.

One was the Continuous Trap card representing Ansel, Skill Drain.

And the other was—the Normal Spell card, Polymerization!

"Whoa." Tiancheng Guang looked up and shouted in surprise.

"Strange, why did it activate automatically?"

"Hey, hey, hey, didn't they say this would be used in the next round? Lights, what's going on!?"

The Kaiba Corporation employees were startled.

Tiancheng Guang looked left and right, then looked at a huge chandelier. The chandelier turned a circle, as if it were a head, and nodded at Tiancheng Guang.

A phantom?

Tiancheng Guang understood its meaning.

Did they want to watch another duel of his?

"Tiancheng Guang, your opponent will definitely set a bunch of trap cards to target you," Tie La also leaned her head over to say.

"It doesn't matter, I've also adjusted my deck."

After the colorful lights ended, Tiancheng Guang and Ansel set up their duel disks and faced each other.

"Duel!" x2.

Duel Academy East Europe Branch, Equality for All, Ansel, LP: 4000.

Duel Academy Main Campus, Absolute Fusion User, Tiancheng Guang, LP: 4000.

Another flash of lights, and the duel officially began!
