August 30th.
Jiangcheng Association, in the Blood Gate.
Bang!
A sound of shattering was heard, and violent golden rain fell from the sky, signifying the fall of a Venusian blood monster.
Ten days later, the Super Magic Dragon Knight once again completed the feat of Dark Red Star's counterattack on Venus!
Of course, for the Super Magic Dragon Knight, this battle was much easier than the previous duel with Harilan.
But it’s not because this Venus monster is inferior to Hariran in combat power, but because they are at a comparable level.
With similar intensity, the changes in the battle are obvious.
The super magic dragon knight who has reached the duel level is even stronger than Lin You expected.
Becoming stronger comes from many aspects.
First, awaken and develop skills.
After reaching the Duel level, the Super Magic Dragon Knight can comprehend five types of awakening development skills.
Compared with the usual situation, there are one or two more.
More importantly, its power is particularly astonishing.
The most powerful move among them has a power close to three million points!
This kind of power can already pose a great threat to the dark red star monster!
It's hard to imagine that this is just an awakening development skill.
And the more powerful awakened combat skills were also awakened during the battles during this period!
During these ten days, apart from fighting with the blood-originated monsters, Lin You also specially borrowed a simulated battle field.
In the battlefield, the combat power of Venus can be simulated.
To use it, no additional merits are required, a-authority is required, and this facility can be used for free.
The fact that the Super Magic Dragon Knight was able to complete the awakening of his combat skills in such a short period of time shows his talent.
As for the power of this fighting skill, Lin You has seen it before and can only describe it in two words - terrible!
Apart from the awakening development skills and awakening combat skills, there is another thing that is also extremely shocking.
Just when the Super Magic Dragon Knight had secured his duel level, when Lin You summoned him again, he discovered that his inherent super source power had actually increased.
From the initial 150 points, it changed to 300 points.
Just doubled.
This is really a pleasant surprise.
Although Lin You knew that the Super Magic Dragon Knight's super source power had room for strengthening, he originally thought that the strengthening would have a great impact on himself.
However, he did not expect that the increase in awakening level would be enough to drive the strengthening of super source power.
The extent of the enhancement is not small!
Lin You is increasingly looking forward to the moment when the Super Magic Dragon Knight is promoted to the ace level.
If he really grows to the ace level, perhaps even the non-top-level Venus monsters will be terrified in front of him!
At this moment, the Super Magic Dragon Knight was still absorbing the golden blood rain, and Lin You's eyes suddenly moved.
Duel number, a message from Black Source came.
After taking a look at the content, Lin You was stunned, and then his expression became a little embarrassed.
He almost forgot one thing. The teacher challenged Senior Hu on his behalf, saying that he wanted to test how well he could fight against a two-star master like Teacher Hu.
"I want to duel with Senior Hu..."
Lin You pondered over this matter. If it was before the Super Magic Dragon Knight awakened, he believed that without the help of the little guy's super source power, it might take some effort to win.
But after awakening, if I come back to fight, I'm afraid, to be disrespectful, I'm going to bully Senior Hu...
Even without considering awakening, Lin You, who spent a lot of money to purchase a certain card in his deck during this period, has made another leap in combat power.
"But since they've already issued the challenge, it would be embarrassing for me not to go. It would also be embarrassing for my teacher. Besides, I haven't fought with Senior Hu yet. Perhaps Senior Hu, a two-star master, is also extraordinary. If I underestimate him, I might suffer."
Lin You thought about it and waited for the golden blood rain to continue to fall.
Once the information is absorbed and can be digested internally, I will return to Jiangcheng University.
Anyway, the showdown is at 10 a.m. tomorrow, it’s still early!
After the blood rain fell for a while, it gradually stopped. After completing the initial absorption, Lin You exited the blood source gate.
After quitting, Lin You specially said hello to Long Yu, and then left the Jiangcheng Association directly.
Although the Jiangcheng Association is located in the suburbs, it is still in Jiangcheng, so it didn't take too long for Lin You to quietly return to Jiangcheng University.
"What's going on?"
As soon as he arrived at the teaching area, Lin You suddenly discovered that there were magic posters on many buildings.
The content on the poster is extremely eye-catching.
It was the framed footage of Lin You versus Hu Xinyang, along with the specific time of the duel.
What’s annoying is that special effects were added to the poster for the two of them, both of which were bursts of blazing flames, as if they wanted to devour each other.
But this is still not the most outrageous thing.
The most outrageous thing is that there are two power bars at the bottom of the poster.
This support bar represents the number of people who are optimistic about the victory of the two.
Through the power bar, it can be clearly seen that the power bars are in a comparable state, and even Lin You has slightly surpassed Hu Xinyang.
"They are all quite optimistic about me."
After seeing the assist bar clearly, Lin You couldn't help but laugh.
He actually knew that the reason why he was ahead in terms of support was simply because voting was free of charge.
There is no reward or punishment for the winner if he guesses right or wrong.
If this duel was organized by Guo Rui and the odds were set secretly, probably few people would support him.
Even if I support you, it's just a token of my appreciation.
After staring at the poster for a while, Lin You quietly transmitted a magical power and participated in the voting, and the person he was helping was himself.
Of course you have to be your own strongest supporter, no problem!
After getting some help, Lin You quickly left the teaching area while there were no one around to avoid causing a stir in the school.
Little did they know that the sensation that should have been caused had already been caused a few days ago.
When the news of the matchup came out, everyone was in disbelief, but after seeing the matchup poster specially made by the school, they were instantly excited.
This is a student challenging the instructor!
And the person to be challenged is Hu Xinyang.
This person is one of the most famous tutors in the entire Jiangcheng University!
Once the news came out, the most excited group was not the old students, but a group of new students who had just enrolled.
Not long ago, Jiangcheng colleges and universities completed a new round of applications.
The overall quality of this year's applicants may be much higher than in previous years.
Even many newcomers who were expected to apply to universities in the capital or the Magic City chose to apply to universities in Jiangcheng.
If you ask why, the answer is obvious—
They came here just for Lin You!
Lin You, who came from Jiangcheng University, had caused a stir in the outside world with his various deeds this year.
Many people cannot imagine that a freshman can undergo such earth-shaking changes in just one year.
Many people have found out that before Lin You applied to Jiangcheng University, he even attended a semi-professional duel high school.
What kind of magic does Jiangcheng High School have that can cultivate Lin You into what he is today?
Many people chose to apply to this university with the idea of finding out more about it.
Even though reason told them that Lin You's talent was basically impossible to replicate, they were still tempted by the shocking facts.
The quality of this year's freshmen made Xia Yan, who is usually serious, almost laugh out loud while sitting in the office.
For this reason, when they learned that Lin You was going to duel with Hu Xinyang soon, they made a big fuss and specially produced a large number of promotional posters.
Let’s cheer up these promising young talents and let them see that these are the amazing talents that have emerged from our Jiangcheng universities!
…
Black Source Laboratory.
As soon as Lin You came in, he saw Hei Yuan leisurely drinking coffee. He couldn't help but smile and teased, "Teacher, why do you feel that your life is getting more and more enjoyable?"
Hei Yuan took a leisurely sip of coffee, glanced at Lin You, and said leisurely, "There is someone to succeed you. Shouldn't I be happy for this?"
"Too."
Lin You nodded in agreement. "Having such an outstanding disciple, if it were me, I would probably be grinning from ear to ear in my dreams. I understand."
"Little thing, are you still floating?"
Heiyuan almost choked. Even if what you said is right, isn't it narcissistic to say it so bluntly?
He secretly complained, then turned and said, "You better take it easy, kid. Be careful not to get beaten black and blue by Old Man Hu in public tomorrow. You saw the commotion outside, didn't you? If this defeat is too ugly, even if the result is predictable, the person who deserves the loss will still be humiliated in public."
He added, "You have no idea how much those new students adore you. Not long after you started school, they kept clamoring to see you. When they found out you were my student, they set up an ambush around my small courtyard. If I hadn't chased them all away, you wouldn't have been able to escape easily if they had seen you."
"So exaggerated?"
Lin You was slightly startled, but then smiled and said, "But it's also good. This makes you look very proud."
"What kind of face is this?"
Hei Yuan suddenly said, "You might as well pick a girl you like from among those young people and bring her to see me someday. That would give me some face. I'm not old yet. If it's not convenient for your family, it won't be difficult for me to take care of your big fat grandson in the future."
Facing the teasing in Hei Yuan's words, Lin You calmly said, "Thank you for your hard work. If you have a good wife who can help you, then I can still consider it."
"Go away, don't talk nonsense."
Hei Yuan immediately cursed with a laugh, then changed the subject. "Let's get back to the point. How confident are you in this duel? I've told you before that the competition on Divine Beast Island might be more intense than you expected. If you're not strong enough, it's unlikely you'll gain much. And if you can't defeat Old Man Hu, it means you're still a little short of the qualifications to participate in this grand feast."
"How sure are you?"
Lin You couldn't help but laugh, "Teacher, do you want to hear the truth?"
"Is that even a question?"
Hei Yuan was speechless for a moment. Lin You smiled again and said, "To be honest, I've been considering how much I should hold back. This duel caused quite a stir, and everyone is watching. I can't embarrass Senior Hu too much, otherwise it would be a bit unkind."
“…”
Heiyuan opened his mouth slightly, seeming to want to say something but stopped himself.
Isn't this a bit too crazy?
Are you still considering giving Old Man Hu a break?
Do you really think that the two-star master is just there to eat and do nothing?
Maybe it is a little inferior to the two-star master of Jiangcheng Association, but the strength is still beyond reproach.
But when it comes to you, why does it sound like chopping melons and vegetables?
In Heiyuan's expectation, based on his understanding of Lin You's talent and the various inhuman events he had experienced, Heiyuan still believed that he could defeat Hu Xinyang.
But winning won't be easy.
It wasn't a narrow victory, but at least it took a fierce battle to defeat Old Man Hu.
However, after hearing what Lin You said, Hei Yuan was really stunned.
He knew very well that since Lin You had made a judgment at this time, he was not bragging, but he really thought so.
What he said came from his absolute confidence in his strength!
After digesting it for a long time, Hei Yuan reluctantly said, "Boy, don't be so confident. Don't wait until you get beaten up and then regret it."
Lin You thought for a moment and said, "Who knows? If Senior Hu has hidden strength far surpassing that of a regular two-star master, then I might really get beaten up. Let's see tomorrow."
"Then I, the Master, must take a closer look."
Heiyuan is becoming more and more curious about what kind of combat power Lin You possesses now.
He hadn't witnessed Lin You's duel in person for a long time, so even though he knew that his strength had leaped, he didn't know to what extent.
Tomorrow... I can finally witness it!
…
The next day.
It was still dark when a noticeable commotion was heard throughout Jiangcheng University.
Many students who had been looking forward to the duel for a long time and had been unable to sleep last night went directly to the Rising Star Duel Hall early in the morning.
That’s right, the venue for this duel is the duel hall that the newcomer is most familiar with.
Lin You's current status has not yet escaped the standard of a 'newcomer'!
There is a unique feeling in this duel.
At this moment, in the Rising Star Duel Hall, many freshmen who had occupied the front row were extremely excited.
"It's finally the end of the month, and this match has been so intense for the past few days that I've been completely distracted. I'm constantly thinking about everything I do."
"Who isn't? I've long wanted to see Elder Lin You in person."
"But isn't it unrealistic for Elder Lin You to win today's duel? His opponent is Senior Hu, a two-star master. Although Elder Lin You is now at the pinnacle of the Glory level, there should still be a big gap between him and such a senior, right?"
"What's there to be afraid of? This is clearly a showdown. How could Senior Hu possibly use all his strength? He must be holding back. It's impossible for Lin You to win, but seeing him fight with all his might is a huge win."
"Yeah, that's the truth. If anyone ever brags about someone being a genius in front of me, tell them what kind of strength a twenty-year-old can possess!"
“…”
A group of freshmen chatted with each other around Lin You, with plenty of common topics.
And this kind of boiling anticipation is getting higher and higher as time goes by.
Gradually, the agreed time of ten o'clock approached, and one after another, Lin You's old acquaintances quietly arrived in the audience.
Xia Mu, Xiao Yi, Qi Yuxuan, Deng Zhuo and other classmates, as well as Huang Xiao and Gu Du, who have been promoted to the third grade, have also arrived...
As for Chen Yi, the leader of the third grade, he is nowhere to be seen.
But it’s not that he is not interested in this matchup, but he has chosen to graduate early.
A third-grade genius is naturally qualified to make such a choice.
There are many acquaintances among the students.
The school leaders have an all-star lineup.
From Xia Yan and Zheng Xian to the young mentors, everyone was present.
There is no doubt that this upcoming showdown is the focus of everyone's attention for Jiangcheng College!
