I asked you to print cards, not to kill gods.

Although the approximate matchup schedule was already known, there was still a slight commotion in the audience when the host announced the matchup information.

This is one of the most important matches today.

After You Wenqi announced his temporary retirement from the competition, Higashino Yuya has officially taken the second place in the world and even has the momentum to challenge the world's first place.

The China Invitational Tournament can be regarded as a battle between these two world-class fortune tellers for the top spot in the world.

In comparison, Tan Song is not that famous. Although he still has a certain reputation in the country thanks to the Qinglong Cup championship, he is still a little bit inferior when facing Higashino Yuya, the former world overlord.

But a fortune card master will never be afraid of the strong.

We are all ninth-level fortune-telling masters, so it’s still uncertain who will win or lose!

Higashino Yuya is a good-looking man with a strange three-color hairstyle. He looks like a very good card player.

He was not tall, even a head shorter than Tan Song, but when he walked onto the duel arena, his terrifying aura made everyone feel his strength.

He was once the world's hegemon, but he was also a protester who fell out with his country's Fate Card Association.

Even Shen Sui had to admire Dongye Youzai.

Being able to return to the world stage and reach a high position again even after having half of his deck banned, this kind of strength is no longer the strength of his deck.

Shen Sui narrowed his eyes, as if he saw some kind of aura from Higashino Yuya.

Tan Song's expression was very serious. This was an opponent who deserved to be taken seriously. He needed to give his all to have a chance of winning.

"The duel begins!" Following the referee's order, both sides lit up their duel instruments almost at the same time.

"My first attack!" Higashino Yuya took the first attack.

He was using a Swordsman deck, which belonged to the branch of Japanese mythology in World 2, and belonged to the same soul card world as Tiais's Indian mythology deck.

The Mythological World No. 2 can be said to be the soul card world with the most high-end combat power and the strongest top combat power among the thirty-three soul card worlds.

It’s just that, although there are many fortune tellers who choose World No. 2, there are very few who can really make a name for themselves in World No. 2. The gods in the sky are too high up to be easily reached.

After Yuya Higashino returned, except for the soul cards, the entire deck underwent a major change, becoming a completely different dueling style.

He knew his deck like the back of his hand, and there was almost no pause throughout the whole process. The connection between cards was extremely smooth, as if he didn't need to think.

Under this development, the timing of any opponent is like a candlelight in the dark night, with nowhere to hide. Even if you cancel the timing quickly, it can't escape Higashino Yuya's eyes.

Sometimes? What card?

Higashino Yuya was confused.

Could it be a minion card that activates its effect from the hand?

Higashino Yuya has also encountered hand-trap type follower cards before, but generally speaking, few fortune tellers would choose to add them to their decks.

It's not because there are no hand traps, but because there are too few useful hand traps. There is a mandatory limit of one for the fate card duel minion card. If you add a hand trap, the probability of drawing it at the beginning is too small. Drawing it later is equivalent to being stuck. Therefore, few fate card masters will add it.

Higashino Yuya made a quick decision. He wanted to trick Tan Song out of the trap.

So he quickly adjusted his strategy, delayed the end of the summoning, and used other powerful minions to trick Tan Song into setting a trap.

Finally, when Higashino Yuya summoned a twelve-star swordsman, Tan Song took action.

"When you successfully summon a minion, activate the effect of [Xianzong Mansion·Alchemy Boy] in my hand, discard it from your hand to activate it, making the effect of the minion you summoned invalid and bounce it back to your deck."

The effect of the Alchemy Boy is directly aimed at Jian Gouki.

Higashino Yuya grinned, with an expression that showed he had figured out the plan: "Hehe! You've been fooled!"

Higashino Yuya pulled out a card and declared, "Pay 8 soul points, activate the spell card [Swordsman's Pride] from my hand! Once per turn, I can select a [Swordsman] minion from my deck or graveyard and banish it, and Special Summon a [Swordsman] minion from my deck. If the banished minion is a minion I have summoned this turn, I will ignore any summoning conditions for this Special Summon!!!"

Higashino Yuya swung the spell card in his hand like swinging a sword.

The one he wanted to exclude was naturally the Swordsman Ghost that had just been bounced back into the deck by Tan Song's hand trap.

Then, according to the effect of [Swordsman's Gallantry], he can special summon the [Swordsman] minion from the deck regardless of any conditions.

What he summoned was naturally his strongest swordsman!

and many more!

Higashino Yuya felt a chill in his heart.

Is there still time?

"Right at this moment." Tan Song laughed and pulled out another life card in his hand, "Activate the effect of [Qingyue Fairy·Xu Xiazi] in my hand! When the opponent activates a special summoning effect, I can discard it from my hand to invalidate the summoning."

Higashino Yuya grinned.

He didn't expect two hand traps. Is it so easy to get a hand trap minion card now?

Moreover, Tan Song actually drew two hand traps at the beginning, so his luck was really good.

Higashino Yuya was also convinced by this.

He once thought about putting hand traps in his deck, but he couldn't find any hand traps that matched his deck, so he eventually gave up the idea.

Fortunately, although Higashino Yuya's most crucial final summon was interrupted, he did not feel that he had lost. After all, he had encountered similar situations several times since the qualifiers. After covering two cards, he ended his first attack turn.

Up to this moment, Higashino Yuya had already determined that putting hand traps into the decks had become a trend among Chinese fortune tellers. The Chinese fortune tellers he had met recently were always able to pull out one or two hand traps.

Some fortune tellers forced hand traps in, and although this caused some interference to Higashino Yuya for a while, after getting through the uncomfortable stage of being interrupted in the early stages, the disadvantage of the opponent stuffing a large number of hand traps that did not match the main axis into the deck became apparent. At many critical moments, the cards drawn were hand traps that were of no use at the current point in time.

However, when the fortune teller adds a hand trap to the deck to match his main axis, it will be completely different.

Just like Tan Song, the two follower cards he discarded at the beginning successfully interrupted Higashino Yuya's deployment. Then, when it was Tan Song's turn, they instantly became Tan Song's graveyard resources and could be reused.

"Did you notice?" Aragaki Tanchun looked at the culprit beside him, "Since your debut, the use rate of hand pits in China has increased significantly."

Aragaki Tanchun's words are by no means exaggerating. In fact, many people have benefited a lot from the game in which Shen Sui won. Hand trap is indeed the best means to face the opponent's first attack round. By using a hand trap, you can directly interrupt the opponent's deployment, which is definitely a profit.

Therefore, this trend became popular in professional competitions in China.

However, because the number of hand trap minion cards with suitable effects is too scarce, this style of play is currently more common among high-end players.

"It's just the environment." Shen Sui told the truth.

The era of hand traps came with the era of explosive development. A card that interrupts the opponent's first attack and explosive development is a very profitable thing.

But if the environment continues to develop to the point where even five hand traps in hand are unable to stop the opponent from exploding, then the era of hand traps will quickly pass, because by that time, it will no longer make sense to add hand traps to the deck, and it will be better to leave space for other cards, and then the era of both sides exploding will begin again.

However, in the fate card duel, this phenomenon may be different, as times cannot be changed just like that.

The cards used in the Life Card Duel are not printed out by some consortium on a whim. The Soul Card World is randomly refreshed, so how can the environment change so quickly?

Chapter 389: Three Cards, Five Gods, the Final Song of the Sun God

In a duel between masters, a single wrong move is enough to affect the normal game.

Higashino Yuya understood this truth deeply.

In the first attack round, because Tan Song's hand trap failed to summon his own final board, he was unable to suppress Tan Song. After Tan Song completed his first deployment, he successfully brought Higashino Yuya into a very unfavorable situation by relying on the suppression formed first.

How did this guy make such great progress?

This was not the first time that Higashino Yuya had faced off against Tan Song. This player from China left a deep impression on him.

This may also be because both sides' decks are related to swords, although the Eastern swordsman and the Japanese swordsman seem to be two different creatures.

However, Higashino Yuya had never expected that only six months had passed since the last duel between the two sides, and Tan Song's deck-building ideas had undergone such a drastic change.

"So disgusting..." He looked at his soul points that had been deducted and felt an indescribable depression.

I clearly got a lucky draw, but I can't use any cards. Who knows this feeling?

He raised his head and looked at Tan Song opposite him, who looked as if he had succeeded in his evil plan, and felt even more depressed.

His turn had just begun when the soul points used to pay for the use of soul cards were sucked away by Tan Song's [Juemian Immortal·Shi Kai].

Yes, according to the effect of this follower card, you can get double the soul points that were sucked away in the next turn, but what is the difference between delaying self-mortification for one round and having no negative effect?

His field has been almost completely broken by Tan Song. If he doesn't move, he will just wait for death. But if he wants to move, he can only liberate the minions on his field to gain soul points and use life cards.

nausea!

This routine is so disgusting!

When Tan Song saw Dongye Yuzai's frustrated look, he felt so happy.

Humph! You Wenqi, this kid, actually mocked me for surrendering to Shen Sui? Look, the same trick was used on Dongye Youzai, didn't he also fail to resist?

Therefore, although this cost-cutting flow is very dark, its strength is definitely not low!

"What a sinister trick." Tiis originally came to gather information by watching the duel between his strongest opponent in this competition, Higashino Yuya. However, right from the start, he saw that Higashino Yuya was restricted by Tan Song to the point that he could hardly fight.

He asked himself how he would resist in a similar situation, and then he found that there seemed to be no good way. Even if he could special summon, he had to have a card to activate it first.

You Wenqi, who followed Tiais, didn't know what to say.

He had seen the duel between Tan Song and Shen Sui, so of course he knew who Tan Song had learned this move from.

I can only say that Tan Song is really amazing. In such a short period of time, he actually found a life card that can be used to perform similar routines. Based on this point alone, he deserves to win this duel.

Yuya Higashino lost in the end.

With soul points limited, you can only free your minions on the field and force them to start.

You know what, Higashino Yuya really has something. He forced himself to start working in such a desperate situation, and actually displayed an indomitable momentum, almost taking Tan Song away directly.

It was a pity that he missed a move by one step and was once again defeated by Tan Song's trick at the most critical step.

Seeing the great swordsman he tried to summon being sent away by Tan Song's hand trap, Higashino Yuya was completely dumbfounded.

Shit! How many tricks did you put into your deck?

"Six, six, six! Master Tan is so wicked, Dongye Yuya has been tricked."

"Fuck, why do I see the shadow of the God of Years in Tan Song?"

"Absolutely! Isn't this a godly way of playing? [Jewel Merchant Alice] + [Raising the Price] + [Toll] will directly deprive you of the right to play cards."

"Yes, yes, yes! I've seen Sui Shen use this trick to win a game before."

On the forum, netizens have been popping champagne for Tan Song's victory. No matter what the final result of the Huashan Invitational A-Class Tournament is, at least Tan Song has a gold medal of immunity.

I have already beaten the world's second-best player, you can't say I'm lame, right?

"It's a really amazing construction." Higashino Yuya took a deep breath and said to Tan Song with a wry smile.
