This Hextech Duel Master is a pro at getting targets.

Yu Shuo's deck did not contain the monster Mechanical Soldier, but during the Duel Kingdom era, duelists could summon non-existent monsters from their decks.

Fusion Monsters and Ritual Monsters of this era did not have physical cards, so duelists could only remember their data and summoning methods, and perform actions that met the summoning conditions during duels to bring them to the field.

You Shuo is using the ability to link monsters together.

Just like Barbarian No. 1 and Barbarian No. 2, monsters like Mechanical Sergeant can also work together powerfully with Mechanical King!

In just a moment, three monsters appeared on You Shuo's field.

Kong Quewu frowned slightly; everything was exactly as she had predicted.

This mechanical king is You Shuo's trump card!

"The effect of Machine King is that this card's ATK increases by 100 for all Machine-Type monsters on the field!" You Shuo said. "There are currently three Machine-Type monsters on the field, so Machine King's ATK is now 2500!"

"Enter battle phase!"

"Machine King! Attack Harpy Girl!!"

"Rocket Mechanical Fist!!!"

"Boom—"

Flames erupted from the vehicle's thrusters, propelling the Mechanical King into the air as it delivered a powerful punch to the Harp Girl!

Kong Quewu laughed arrogantly, "Isn't that a bit too arrogant, You Shuo!"

"The Harp Girl possesses the ability to fly!"

"While your Machine King can link up with other monsters, it has no hidden characteristics other than an attack power boost!!"

"In this battle, the Harpie Girl's attack power was increased by 30% due to her advantage!"

"With the addition of the magic cards—the electronic bodysuit and the rose whip—the harpy's attack power surpasses that of the machines!"

"Go! Harpie Girl!!"

"Claws and teeth shattered!!!"

"Beep beep beep—"

Harpy, Attack Power: 1300→1800→2100→2730

The calculations for countering advantages are all done at the end, so when the Peacock Dancer played her two equipment cards, the Harpie Girl's combat power in this battle reached nearly three thousand points!

Facing the punch that came crashing down from the sky, the harpy girl's entire body crackled with electricity, and the electronic armor that appeared out of thin air greatly enhanced her combat power.

It cast a defiant and cruel glance at the enemy in the air, and a loud eagle cry rang out. A few feathers fell, and the harpy girl transformed into a bolt of lightning and rushed up to meet the mechanical king!

Peacock Dance understands You Shuo's strength. Someone who defeated the national duelist champion would definitely not easily watch his ace be defeated like this. He must have a backup plan!

But when she looked at You Shuo across from her, she was surprised to find that he was just smiling with his arms crossed, looking as if he had the victory in his grasp.

"How is that possible?" Kongque Wu was stunned. "Could it be... that those two monster mechanical sergeants or mechanical soldiers can give the Mechanical King a boost?"

Just as Kongque Wu was making her own guesses, the vortex waves created by the two monsters' attacks collided in mid-air!

Mechanical King's attacks are pure, powerful strikes, while Harpie Girl's are swift and ghostly lightning!

"Da la—da la—"

The moment she saw the electric current on Kong Quewu's body spread towards the Mechanical King, she finally understood where You Shuo's confidence came from, and her expression changed drastically!

"Wait a moment!"

"They're actually taking advantage of this!!"

Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Fallen Dragon

"Judging from your expression, you should have finally remembered, Peacock Dance~" You Shuo laughed loudly, "Although the electronic bodysuit enhanced the Harpie Girl's combat power, it also turned her attacks into lightning-based attacks!"

"Mechanical monsters will achieve elemental advantage when facing lightning attacks!"

"While your Harpy Girl's special ability counters Machine King, Machine King's attributes also counter Harpy Girl's!"

"The two opposing forces cancel each other out, and ultimately, the Mechanical King will win this battle with less than four hundred points of attack power!!"

The Mechanical King continued to absorb the surging electric current, and its energy grew stronger and stronger until it overtook the ferocious-looking Harpy!

Seeing that her trump card was about to be defeated, Mai immediately shouted, "But I still have another card on the field!"

"Third face card activated - Swap!"

"This battle will take place against the bird-faced man."

"When the Birdman is destroyed, you can add one Harpie Girl from your Deck to your hand!"

"Boom—"

An explosion rang out, and a thick cloud of black smoke billowed up!

Although the Peacock Dancer successfully resolved the battle, the two equipment cards she used to arm the Harpie were destroyed, resulting in a severe loss of card resources.

You Shuo smiled faintly, put down a card, and ended his turn.

Peacock Dance looked at the situation on the battlefield and said with a smile:

"Ah, I see. So this is the Machine King's Combo."

"The Mechanical King itself doesn't possess any hidden abilities."

"But it has many other monster cards that support it~"

"The Mechanical Sergeant can summon one Mechanical Soldier each turn. The Mechanical King's attack power increases based on the number of Mechanical-Type monsters on the field..."

"That's a really powerful tactic!"

"but……"

Peacock Dance abruptly changed the subject, a swirling storm raging across the battlefield, her gaze suddenly sharpening.

"The battle has only just begun!"

"You Shuo, watch closely!"

"Without the equipment card, it's really not easy for me to control the Harpie right now."

"But after last night, just like you put Machine King in your deck, I've also prepared other trump cards!"

"This monster is the secret weapon I prepared specifically for this final!!"

"Attack status summon - Ground Dragon!!"

"Activate the Continuous Spell Card - Desert Storm!"

"Give all monsters on the field the ability to fly!!"

"Snapped--"

The card struck down heavily, and a deep, angry dragon's roar appeared in the light. In the surging sandstorm tornado, this bulky creature slowly flew into the sky!

【Lying Dragon】

【Five stars】

[Earth Attribute/Dragon Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1600/1400]

[Description: A weak dragon unable to fly, but its attack power is still very strong.]

"It's that?!" Wang Yu's eyes widened as he watched the battle. He remembered it clearly; it was a very typical unconventional Dragon Monster Card!

Dragon monsters generally possess characteristics that are absolutely uncounterable, but this ground dragon is an exception. Not only does it lack the common characteristics of dragons, but it is also always in a state of being countered when attacked.

This monster, which has always lowered the bar for Dragon monsters, has been a laughing stock among duelists, and it is also the cheapest Dragon monster card on the market.

But now, Mai, a top duelist, has actually summoned it?!

Her purpose...

What exactly is it?!

Inside the palace, a raging sandstorm tornado surged up. As the Peacock Dancer threw down the card, amidst the dazzling light, the enormous earth dragon slowly rose into the air with the help of the gale!

Crouching dragon...

It flew into the sky?!

Wang Yang's eyes flashed.

The experienced man immediately realized that this crouching dragon must have a hidden ability that no one had yet discovered!

The Peacock Dance is about to utilize that hidden characteristic!

"The Ground Dragon, known as the weakest dragon, is always at a disadvantage when attacked." Standing in the raging wind, a Ground Dragon roared not far in front of her. "But... once the Ground Dragon gains the ability to fly, everything will be different!"

"The Ground Dragon has extremely strong offensive capabilities, but its defensive capabilities are extremely poor. When flight compensates for its defensive weaknesses, its combat power may even rival that of some seven-star dragon monsters!!"

"When the Garchomp gains the Flying ability, another hidden ability will be triggered: its Attack and Defense will increase by 700, and it will always be in a state of advantage against its opponent in both offense and defense!!"

Amidst the swirling, fierce storm, large swaths of sand and dust billowed outwards from the Crouching Dragon, which, having taken flight once more, let out a long-absent, excited roar!

"So that's how it is, that perpetual magic card actually works like this..." Jonouchi Katsuya couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Desert Storm is a Field Spell Card in the OCG, but in Duel Kingdom, it is a special Tactical Continuous Spell Card.

"Hmph~" Peacock Dance's golden hair fluttered, "Let's launch a swift attack!"

"Ground Dragon! Attack Machine King!"

"With its hidden ability activated, the Crouching Dragon will undoubtedly gain a significant advantage when it takes flight!"

"Attack power UP!!"

"A massive sandstorm!!!"

With a wave of her arm, the earth dragon in mid-air let out a deafening roar, and endless yellow sand spread outwards from it, forming a storm that swept towards the Mechanical King!

There are no other Machine-Type monsters on the field. Machine King's attack power is 2500!

However, with the advantage of being countered, the attack power of the Ground Dragon approaches 3000 points!

If this attack succeeds with the Peacock Dance, You Shuo will lose the duel!

"Flying..." Just as the swirling storm was about to engulf the Machine King, You Shuo finally revealed the face-down card in the back row, "Quick-Play Spell Card - Heavy!"

"This card can reduce the ATK of one monster on the field by its own DEF value!"

"At the same time, it will also cause the target monster to lose its flight ability!!"

Loss of...the ability to fly?!

The peacock danced, its beauty faded.

Her tactics rely entirely on the powerful combat capabilities of the Ground Dragon after it gains the ability to fly!

She had finally managed to launch the Ground Dragon into the air using Desert Storm, but now, You Shuo was actually going to let it crash to the ground?!

A dragon lying on the ground is not even as good as a dog!

"Boom—"

Powerful magical energy surged from the earth, forcefully pulling the ground dragon, which had been blown into the air by the tornado, back to the ground!

A dull thud echoed as the sandstorm it had whipped up suddenly lost its power!

"Beep beep beep—"

[Lying Dragon, Attack Power: 2990 → 200]

Chapter 80 Blue-Eyes White Dragon VS Harpie

Things can change in an instant, and the path can take unexpected turns.

In a short time, the situation on the battlefield changed dramatically!

Sitting on his throne, Pegasus watched this scene with a smile, and couldn't help but clap his hands lightly. This duel was exactly what he, as the game's creator, wanted to see.

"Unconventional tactics~"

"A wildly imaginative playing style~"

"This is exactly what Duel Monsters should be like!"

"Finally, someone has discovered this obscure tactic of 'lying prone'!"

"What's even more surprising is that someone can come up with a solution in an instant!"
