It's almost ten o'clock.
Rising Star Duel Arena.
Leadership seat.
Xia Yan and other core school leaders were also discussing the duel that was about to begin.
Zheng Xian glanced at Hu Xinyang who was about to fight, and said with a smile, "Old Hu, you have to be more careful when you duel with this young man later. There are so many people watching. If you don't pay attention and lose unexpectedly, it will be a joke."
"What a surprise."
Without waiting for Hu Xinyang to speak, Lao Li teased, "Old Zheng, didn't you see the support rate announced on the poster? Lin You is the one leading. If there's going to be an upset, it should be Lao Hu who pulls it off."
A mentor nearby immediately laughed and said, "Old Li, you're exaggerating! Lin You has a higher support rate, but the lead isn't that big. What do you call that? It's a close match! It wouldn't be surprising if anyone won or lost."
"Stop talking bullshit."
Hu Xinyang said somewhat depressedly, "You all know how high that little guy's reputation is in Jiangcheng High School right now. If it were any of you, even if Old Xia faced him, he might not be much ahead in terms of support."
"Principal Xia, did you hear that? Old Hu is throwing dirty water at you. Shouldn't we teach him a lesson?"
"Old Hu's thinking is very dangerous. He's even dragging Principal Xia into this. He has ulterior motives!"
Xia Yan remained expressionless despite the constant teasing from his mentors. He suddenly spoke, "Master Zheng actually has a point. Master Hu, don't be careless when facing that kid. Remember, don't treat him like an ordinary junior from the new generation. You may be stronger, but I don't think you can guarantee a win."
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent for a moment.
Is Principal Xia serious?
Can’t Mr. Hu defeat Lin You with certainty?
Please don't scare me, it's okay to take this as a joke, but seriously, isn't it too unrealistic?
Even Zheng Xian glanced at Xia Yan with a hint of surprise, then chuckled, "Principal Xia seems to be more optimistic about that kid than we are. Could it be that he knows something about his current situation?"
Lin You’s current specific strength is a mystery to everyone in Jiangcheng University.
But the most shocking news about him recently is that he participated in the World Duel City Tournament and made it to the quarterfinals!
Being able to reach the quarterfinals in such a competition means that his strength must have reached the Glory Three Stars, and he is the top powerhouse among the three stars!
With such strength, even if he fights against some ordinary masters or one-star strongmen, he will have the upper hand.
But Hu Xinyang is obviously not an ordinary master. He is not only a two-star master, but also an excellent one among the two-star masters!
At least, apart from the two-star masters certified by major powerful branches, he is almost not afraid of anyone!
In this comparison, no matter how you look at it, Hu Xinyang's strength and advantage should be huge.
During the silence, Xia Yan spoke again, "I don't know his current strength, but I know the miracles he's created in the past. So I know for sure that the speed at which that child's strength is improving is definitely not something that can be measured by common sense. The World Duel City Tournament ended in early July, and now we're entering September. There's a gap of nearly two months in between. It's hard to say how much he can grow in those two months."
"Two months... even the most talented are probably still in the Demonic Transformation stage. It's hard to achieve a qualitative change unless you advance to Master."
One instructor hesitated and said something, but Xia Yan said calmly: "What do you think is the biggest advantage of entering the Master level compared to the Glory level?"
The instructor said without hesitation, "Deeper magical power and greater soul carrying capacity also lead to Master-level cards being far stronger than Glory-level cards in terms of card strength and freedom of use."
“So that’s the problem.”
"question?"
Everyone was a little confused about what Xia Yan meant, but Zheng Xian immediately thought of something and suddenly laughed, "Principal Xia is still looking at the whole picture. With Lin You's ability, this so-called gap probably doesn't exist at all. Whether it's the strength of his magic power or his soul carrying capacity, he's not inferior to an ordinary master, especially his soul carrying capacity... Don't forget, he was able to summon a little monster called the Red Star Monster when he was still a Star Duelist!"
When these words were spoken, all the instructors were stunned.
It seems to be true. That is to say, even though Lin You is still at the Glory level now, his strength is actually better than that of an ordinary one-star master.
It is true that Hu Xinyang still has the upper hand when fighting against Lin You.
But if you really underestimate the opponent, or even let them go too far, it is not impossible that you will capsize in the ditch!
After hearing what everyone said, Hu Xinyang became a little hesitant.
So, I really have to give it my all like Lao Hei said?
Otherwise, how can you give guidance if you can't suppress the other party?
Just as Hu Xinyang was thinking about this, the scene suddenly became noisy like boiling water!
"Fuck, I see it, I see it, that must be Lin You!"
"Oh my god, he's a hundred times more handsome in person than in the video, Senior Lin You!"
"My dad is here!"
"Brother...how come you're already a filial son? What, me too? That's fine then."
A group of freshmen were yelling wildly, having been eagerly anticipating Lin You's arrival.
"It's still the same as always. He steals the show as soon as he appears on stage."
In the second-grade audience seats, Zeng Xi said with a smile.
When Xiao Yi, who was sitting not far away, heard this, his face darkened slightly, but soon returned to normal.
It doesn't matter. I have already removed this kind of person from my competition list. There is no point in competing with him!
"Wow, Brother Xiaoyou is finally here. Sister Yuxuan, Brother Xiaoyou seems to be becoming more and more charming. Is this what they call a man's transformation?"
"Xiao Ke, calm down. You're almost tearing my sleeves apart."
Qi Yuxuan looked helplessly at Chu Ke who kept tugging at his sleeve, and then said: "Also, don't talk nonsense. You haven't seen him for only a few months, how can you say that he has transformed like a man?"
"Sister Yuxuan, something's wrong."
Chu Ke's eyes suddenly changed, and he said in an ambiguous tone: "Are you unwilling to accept this fact? His first time must be... wuwu~"
Before she could finish, a hand directly cast a 'sealing spell' on her little mouth. Qi Yuxuan said with a slight annoyance: "Xiao Ke, if you keep talking nonsense, I will throw you into the small dark room to reflect on your mistakes."
“Woo…”
Chu Ke looked innocent and began to admit his mistake in a deep voice.
…
Lin You was unaware of what was happening in the audience. After entering the Rising Star Duel Hall, he felt the enthusiasm of the audience and couldn't help but smile: "I'm quite popular. Teacher, how about it? It's really prestigious to follow me, right?"
"It's just so-so."
Hei Yuan said indifferently, "You didn't see me during my first few years as a tutor at Jiangcheng University. That was truly glorious and popular. So many people were vying to become my disciples. Just rejecting them would have been enough to make me spit all over the place."
Lin You smiled. Jiangcheng College only admits a few students every year. If there were more, would it really tire you out?
I won't expose it. The teacher just brags and drinks coffee occasionally. This is his only hobby. If he is not satisfied, he will really become a campus otaku.
At this time, Lin You's eyes moved slightly, and he smiled and said, "Senior Hu is coming down. Teacher, please find a seat by yourself. I'm coming in too."
After saying that, he walked towards the duel arena in front.
You know what, as I walked, I felt quite nostalgic.
Although it seems that it has not been too long since I last came here, I inexplicably feel like the past is coming back to me.
"Senior Hu."
Shortly after entering the venue, Lin You saw Hu Xinyang walking towards him and immediately bowed to greet him.
"Xiao You, long time no see."
Hu Xinyang said with a smile, "I didn't expect that our meeting would be in such an occasion. A few days ago, Lao Hei came to challenge me, and I was really surprised. Especially when I knew that the person coming to duel with me was you, I couldn't believe it. The speed of progress of young people nowadays is incredible!"
"Senior, you are too kind."
Lin You smiled and said, "It's not really a declaration of war. I just hope that by fighting with you, Senior, I can better understand my current strength. So, in the battle later, I hope you won't hold back at all."
"I remember that."
Hu Xinyang's mind moved slightly, and he thought of what Xia Yan had said before. Looking at Lin You in front of him, the expression on his face was clearly full of confidence.
What he said just now was also serious. He really hopes to give it his all.
At this moment, Hu Xinyang's heart was in turmoil. If this child could really fight with him now, he would be no different from a monster!
No, he has already been a monster!
This time, I will test it myself to see how "excessive" this child who subverts cognition will go before he gives up!
Hu Xinyang took a deep breath and quickly calmed down.
At this time, Xia Yan stood up at the leadership table, and his magical voice covered the entire audience, "You two, make preparations for the battle."
The two nodded in greeting at the same time, then quickly distanced themselves a hundred meters apart.
Seeing that they had completed their battle preparations, Xia Yan immediately said, "Begin!"
The moment the words fell, the magic power of the two was instantly activated.
In front of Lin You, as the card flipped, a blue-purple fusion vortex emerged.
The shadows of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon and the Dark Magician flashed by in an instant.
"Is that... the legendary Red-Eyes Black Dragon?"
In the stands, a freshman keenly caught the shadow of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon and exclaimed in shock, "Wow, is this Senior Lin You? He's already a legend from the start?"
Not only them, even the old students who were familiar with Lin You were shocked.
Their understanding of the cards that Lin You possessed was undoubtedly still stuck at the time when he challenged Qiu Sihao.
At that time, his trump cards were the Holy Magician King and the Dark Magician.
Of course, the black magician who flashed in the shadow did give some people inspiration.
What Lin You was initiating at this moment was undoubtedly fusion, and the two materials of this fusion were both extremely exaggerated.
The Red-Eyes Black Dragon was renowned, and they had personally witnessed the power of the Dark Mage.
The strength of this existence, which is the result of the fusion of these two super-powerful red star monsters, is self-evident.
Just as Lin You was starting the fusion, Hu Xinyang moved just as quickly. He put aside his original intention of giving instructions and decided to fire with all his strength first!
Magic drive, a magic card is activated.
Bang, bang!
The air on the field suddenly became scorching hot, and two pillars of flames erupted.
Two figures covered in blazing flames emerged from the flame pillar, but quickly disappeared within it.
The moment they disappeared, dark red lightning suddenly raged.
Seeing this scene, all the students were stunned.
They may know that this dark red lightning symbolizes the arrival of the dark red star monster, but it is almost the first time for them to witness the summoning of the dark red monster with their own eyes.
No, to be exact, this is a special summon!
Magic card, Glory of Flame.
By sacrificing two Fire-attribute White Star Monsters in your deck, you can Special Summon a Fire-attribute Dark Red Star Monster.
“Clang clang—!!”
The sonorous and loud cry of a phoenix was heard, and the next moment, under the sky covered with dark red lightning, a phoenix monster with its body covered with golden metal pieces and metal wings surrounded by flames descended.
【Nephthys, the Phoenix God】
Bird and beast tribe, fire attribute.
Attack power/2400, Defense power/1600
…
Just as the Phoenix God appeared, another card was revealed in front of Hu Xinyang.
This time it was a quick-attack magic card. The moment the magic card took effect, the flames on the Phoenix God's body bloomed even more fiercely.
Not only that, dark red lightning appeared in the sky again.
It seems that through the Phoenix God, Hu Xinyang has completed another special summon.
And the summoned monster still reached the dark red star!
In addition, the Phoenix God's attack power increased at this moment, soaring from the original 2400 to 3400 points!
In the stands, the students were dumbfounded.
Senior Hu is going to quickly complete the summoning of the two dark red star monsters!
It's just started, are you going to make it so big?
Does this mean that you are not prepared to give in at all?
This is a bit bullying... Even though Master Lin You is famous now, he is still a student after all. As a senior, you can just give him some guidance. Do you really need to take it seriously?
Some students felt indignant.
Hu Xinyang was also a little puzzled, wondering if he had gone too far.
Although what Principal Xia said was true, Lin You was still at the Glory level after all. Given his extraordinary soul carrying capacity, carrying a dark red star monster should be his limit.
With two dark red stars present, the pressure is maximum!
However, this thought only lasted for less than a second.
Suddenly, an even more violent dark red lightning instantly filled the sky, and the entire sky was instantly painted dark red, replacing the original daylight!
"Ah, what's wrong with the sky?"
"Oh my god, why are they suddenly acting scary? Was this also caused by Senior Hu?"
"Is the Dark Red Star Monster's summoning vision so terrifying?"
A group of students were shocked and confused, but compared to them, the instructor was even more furious.
Many people stood up and said, "Impossible! The summoning phenomenon of the Dark Red Star monster cannot reach this level. What kind of monster did Lin You fuse together?"
"Is it a special dark red star monster? This lightning seems to be devouring everything. It's really scary!"
"Principal Xia, Mr. Zheng, do you know what's going on?"
Hearing this, everyone quickly looked at the two of them. With their knowledge, they had never seen such a dark red star summoning phenomenon.
Zheng Xian's expression was already filled with astonishment. "Logically speaking, there is only one situation that could cause such a phenomenon to occur, but that..."
The words were on the tip of his tongue but he stopped himself instantly. It was obvious that he didn't think this would happen at all.
No matter how talented or evil Lin You is, he will recognize him, but he absolutely won't believe this kind of thing!
No one would believe it if it were anyone else!
At this moment, even Xia Yan was shocked, but he said in a low voice: "Super Source Physique, only the Dark Red Star Monster that has awakened the Super Source Physique and is endowed with the power of Super Source can cause such an exaggerated phenomenon."
"But Lin You... Mr. Zheng is right. No matter what, he can't have awakened the super source power."
But how can this situation be explained?
Xia Yan was a little confused. Perhaps it could only be explained by the four words "special nature".
But this is completely against common sense!
He had never heard of such special properties.
Under the shocked gazes of the instructors, the figure of the Super Magic Dragon Knight finally appeared under the sky that had been rendered dark red!
