Print the card! Then summon the Shura Field.

Chapter 125 Wait! This is my first turn, right? (4K)

The number of finalists from the academy was even greater than Shen Yi had anticipated.

The streets, which used to be frequented only by cleaning robots, have gradually seen a steady stream of people.

When Shen Yi arrived at the venue, the area outside was already packed with people.

It's no exaggeration to say that Shen Yi had never seen so many people, not even during his entrance exams.

As a lower-level final, Shen Yi's match against Xu Ran was scheduled as the first game of the day.

However, judging from the reactions of the surrounding audience, most of them were probably there for the Thirteen Princesses.

This makes sense, as compared to Shen Yi and Xu Ran, Shisan Ji is arguably the most famous duelist at Yuezhou Duel Academy.

With her grades, theoretically she should have graduated early and joined the Ji family's club to compete in professional matches long ago.

But she remained at the academy and continued to participate in the Rookie Cup.

Therefore, many people online are speculating whether Thirteen Princess has already clashed with the Rookie Cup team competition.

After all, based on her past performance in the Rookie Cup, she was more than qualified to be a professional player. The only possible goal was to win the Rookie Cup team championship, which was the only championship that Thirteen Princess had not won in all these years.

"I never imagined your sister had so many fans."

Shen Yi walked around the square and found that almost all the spectators who came to watch the match, whether they were students from the academy, duelists from outside the school, or spectators from another world, were discussing Thirteen Princesses.

"Of course!" Kuju-hime puffed out her chest proudly, her ponytail swinging merrily in a gorgeous arc. "My sister is more famous than many professional gamers!"

"But why do I get the feeling that a lot of them are here to persecute your sister?" Vera suddenly said from the side.

"H-How could this be?" Kujuhime said in a flustered manner.

Judging from Jiji's behavior, Shen Yi was almost certain that she knew what was going on.

"Absolutely! Lots of people are talking about your sister's teammates in this year's Rookie Cup," Vera said.

Because of her harrowing experiences of being let down by her teammates in the past three team competitions, Thirteen Princess's teammates in team competitions have become a well-known meme in the Star Glory world.

In fact, to some extent, the popularity of the Rookie Cup was driven by the "Thirteen Princesses" meme.

"Please don't let my sister know about this!" Kujuhime whispered to Vera. "If she finds out, she'll definitely be angry again."

"Your sister is angry? What would she be like?" Shen Yi suddenly asked curiously.

Jiji stammered and couldn't get a word out for a long time, but hurriedly urged Shen Yi to go into the venue to prepare.

Little did anyone know that Jiji's reaction only piqued Shen Yi's interest even more.

Come to think of it, he's never really seen Thirteen Princess angry.

Since they met, although Thirteen Princess has been a little cold in attitude, her emotions have remained very stable.

Unfortunately, Ji was determined not to let Shen Yi delve into this matter, and with a mix of coaxing and resistance, she pushed Shen Yi to the backstage area of ​​the venue.

The moment he entered the venue, Shen Yi also put away his playful thoughts.

He took a deep breath and then placed the deck of cards in his hand into the device for sealing.

"There shouldn't be any problem, right? Winning the championship and all that." Kujuhime looked at Shen Yi nervously.

It was Shen Yi's competition, but she seemed more nervous than Shen Yi.

"Don't worry, it won't delay your sister from taking you into the secret realm," Shen Yi said with a smile.

In fact, Thirteen Princess's entry into the Soul Card Secret Realm will not take up Shen Yi's quota. Shen Yi can save this month's exploration quota for later use.

"I'm really worried about you, okay!" Jiji said angrily, puffing out her cheeks, after hearing Shen Yi's teasing.

Her club currently only has two members: Shen Yi and He Kan.

He Kan is still unconscious.

If Shen Yi falls into despair again because of the competition loss, Jiu Shi Ji doesn't know what to do.

She always believed that as the president of the club, she had to take responsibility for her members.

"Don't worry, I'll win." Shen Yi grinned and gave Jiu Shi Ji a thumbs up.

After sealing the deck, Shen Yi bid farewell to Jiu Shi Ji and entered the players' lounge to await the start of the competition.

"I feel like you just set a flag for yourself," Vera said as they entered the lounge.

"That's confidence, okay?" Shen Yi rolled his eyes.

As he spoke, his hands continued to flip through his deck of cards.

After being sealed, the deck can no longer be changed, but this does not prevent Shen Yi from looking through the deck to find more efficient ways to play.

A short while later, the referee robot sent a notification to Vera.

"It's time to go on stage, Yi," Vera said to Shen Yi.

"Understood." Shen Yi nodded, put away the deck, and stood up.

Vera transformed into specks of light and entered Shen Yi's deck.

The moment they walked through the contestants' tunnel into the venue, a vibrant atmosphere greeted them.

The audience may not have come for Shen Yi's match, but that didn't stop them from cheering for his appearance.

The atmosphere in this final was definitely different from the previous matches.

Shen Yi even saw a miniature dragon breathing fire in the audience to add to the excitement.

Could this sweltering heat in the air be caused by this guy starting a fire? Shen Yi subconsciously wondered.

"First up today are Shen Yi and Xu Ran!"

The final competition venue was even specially equipped with a host—a robot.

Well, this seems to be quite common in this world.

However, it is said that in professional competitions, the host on stage will be replaced by a real person.

Of course, you shouldn't expect there to be a separate profession like "host" in this world. All the real hosts in professional sports arenas come from idol groups.

The reason why not every game has a host is because they usually have to follow their bosses to duels on the field.

As Shen Yi complained, he glanced at Xu Ran across from him.

Xu Ran is the same as he was in the preliminary rounds.

The same.

Same hairstyle, same clothes.

Shen Yi then realized that this guy seemed to have been dressed the same way ever since he appeared.

If he didn't know for certain that this was the real world, he might have thought Xu Ran was some kind of NPC.

"Nice to meet you in today's duel." Xu Ran looked at Shen Yi with an excited expression. "I've prepared a lot of brand new cards for this duel."

Shen Yi was not surprised by this.

"Really?" He grinned. "Then I'm looking forward to it."

The two didn't exchange pleasantries for long before the referee robot issued the order to begin the duel.

There are still two finals to play, so there's not much time for small talk.

"Let's begin then."

Without wasting any words, Shen Yi directly took out his identity card.

As both players' identity cards lit up simultaneously, the duel arena instantly opened.

"My first strike!"

Xu Ran shouted loudly.

Shen Yi was not surprised at all.

He glanced at his initial hand and then decisively drew the [Temporary Announcement] from it.

The moment Xu Ran entered his main phase, Shen Yi activated the effect of [Temporary Announcement].

"I choose to Special Summon from my deck."

As the effect of [Temporary Announcement] was activated, two figures appeared on Shen Yi's field.

One of them is naturally Shen Yi's idol and follower, Nangong Ai.

The other one is—Chihiro.

Actually, Shen Yi had no plan to add Qianxun to his deck, since he figured Qianxun was currently in the hospital taking care of He Kan.

But last night, probably having learned about the finals, Chihiro called specifically.

She wanted to carry He Kan's wishes onto the final stage, and in a way, she completed the entire competition on He Kan's behalf.

Shen Yi really wanted to say that he would rescue He Kan soon, but Qianxun was extremely insistent on this matter. In the end, Shen Yi agreed to Qianxun's request and added her to his deck.

"Activate the effect of [New Idol Nangong Ai]." Shen Yi waved his hand and said, "If she is Summoned or Special Summoned, this effect can be activated, and both players can choose four follower cards from their respective decks and send them to the Graveyard."

Shen Yi skillfully activated Nangong Ai's effect.

This wasn't Xu Ran's first duel with Shen Yi. When Shen Yi summoned Nangong Ai, Xu Ran was already prepared to use his minion deck to search for her.

What truly surprised him was Qianxun appearing on Shen Yi's field.

He and He Kan are old rivals and old friends, and he knows about the relationship between Qianxun and He Kan.

Why is He Kan's follower and girlfriend in Shen Yi's deck?

Knowing Shen Yi's character, he naturally didn't suspect anything malicious.

Thirteen Princesses suppressed He Kan's matter, and the others in the academy were unaware of He Kan's situation.

However, Xu Ran was aware of the recent turmoil surrounding the duelists of the Dream Dance Troupe and immediately guessed that He Kan might have encountered a similar situation.

Just as Xu Ran was wondering, Shen Yi raised his hand and lit up Qianxun's card.

"When I have an [Idol] follower on the field activating its effect, Chihiro's transformation is ready!"

He picked up Chihiro's card and quickly said, "Form Transformation! [Dance Floor Dance - Chihiro]."

Accompanied by melodious classical music, Qianxun, dressed in a gorgeous evening gown, appeared on Shen Yi's stage.

She took Xiao Ai's hand and performed a beautiful entrance dance.

Chihiro truly lived up to her reputation as a potential main idol for the Dream Dance Troupe; her perfect figure drew waves of admiration from the audience.

Regardless of the intensity of the idol card battles, the visual spectacle is absolutely top-notch.

"Activate the effect of [Dance Floor Dance - Chihiro]." Shen Yi activated Chihiro's form effect. "When she successfully transforms, this effect can be activated to Special Summon the top follower of my follower deck."

After saying that, Shen Yi directly flipped over the top card of the follower deck.

【Sage Doll Sona from the Elf World】

"Special Summon, Sage Doll Sona".

Shen Yi Special Summoned Sona to the field.

Xu Ran glanced at the three minions Shen Yi had summoned with a series of claps, then looked at his own empty arena.

no--

Who the hell is this round anyway?

How come I remember drawing the first attack?

But why is my opponent making moves there during my turn?

Before Xu Ran could react, Shen Yi spoke again: "Then, activate [Dance Floor Dance - Thousand Searches]."

The second effect —

Are you coming again?!

Xu Ran looked at Shen Yi, her lips twitching slightly.

Shen Yi understood Xu Ran's expression perfectly and immediately apologized, saying, "This is the last effect. Yes, it really is the last one."

After saying that, he sent "Dancing on the Dance Floor: Chihiro" to the cemetery.

"If there is a non-[Idol] follower on your side of the field, Chihiro's effect must be activated to send her to the Graveyard."

"Huh?" Shen Yi stroked his chin. "Why is it sometimes like this?"

Upon hearing Shen Yi's mutterings, Xu Ran couldn't hold back any longer.

What's wrong?!

Isn't this your deck?

Then he realized that what made Shen Yi unfamiliar with her was probably some effect on Qianxun.

As expected, Shen Yi said, "When we entered the graveyard, there were other followers present, but no [Idol]."

In the case of a follower, I can transform Chihiro in the graveyard into [Lonely Dancer Chihiro].

Shen Yi was surprised not only because Qianxun had a set departure time when going to the cemetery, but also because he discovered that there were followers who could change forms in the cemetery.

"Activate the effect of [Lone Dancer Chihiro] in the graveyard," Shen Yi continued. "If she successfully transforms, she can transform one of my [Idol] followers on the field once."

As he spoke, Shen Yi pointed to Nangong Ai on the field.

"Come on! Sing with a magnificent presence, Little Ai!"

Looking at the light that illuminated her body as it transformed, Nangong Ai immediately understood that this was the power given to her by Senior Qianxun.

"Um!"

The girl nodded her head firmly.

Then, a magnificent meteor streaked across the dome of the dueling arena.

A pure white idol singer makes her debut on the competition stage.

The moment Xiao Ai transformed, the audience excitedly stood up.

Wow! What a beautiful stage!

"A shooting star! It really looks like a shooting star!"

"Her singing voice is also very beautiful."

"What an adorable child."

Xiao Ai seemed to sense the audience's affection, and her cheeks immediately turned rosy.

Unlike her usual shy blushes, this time Xiao Ai's blush was more of a sign of happiness.

[Idol Singer Nangong Ai] Now that she has appeared in her transformed form, her effects will naturally be triggered.

"Activate Little Love's effect. If she successfully transforms, you must activate this effect to Special Summon three followers with the highest Spirit value from your deck, ignoring summoning conditions."

"A glamorous idol can't be without an audience!"

Shen Yi pointed to Xu Ran's deck of cards, and then three beams of light flew out from it.

Xu Ran frowned slightly upon seeing this scene.

He was familiar with Shen Yi's deck, so he naturally knew what this Nangong Ai form, which made its first appearance in the duel between Shen Yi and He Kan, was all about.

The effects of your three minions are nullified.

But it doesn't matter, we can just use them as resources for liberation and cards.

In fact, this format of the duel is actually more advantageous to me.

Then he discovered that the three minions on his board could not be freed.

What the hell is this?!
