After the Seal of Engraving is activated, it is valid for ten seconds.
During this period, Lin You's continuous card linkage only took about two seconds.
This includes the activation of the Black Necklace.
At this stage, duelists have a waiting interval of 30 seconds to summon monsters, but the activation gap between monster cards and magic cards and trap cards is minimal.
However, there are differences in the speed at which Spell and Trap Cards are successfully activated and take effect.
Equipment magic cards like the Black Necklace take about one second to take effect successfully.
Proliferation takes longer, but is usually under two seconds.
Trap cards are different. Trap cards are activated almost instantly. Among magic cards, only cards like fast-attack magic cards can be compared with the speed of trap cards.
The difference in the speed at which cards take effect may not be obvious at this stage, but in high-intensity duels, a slight speed lead often becomes the key to winning the duel.
At this time, the seal of engraving still has eight seconds of effect.
Although Zhang Cheng didn't understand what was going on, he probably guessed that it must be related to the chains inserted into his soul barrier.
And those chains were obviously caused by the effect of that trap card.
Even if you don't know the specific effect, it's not a permanent trap card and the effect will always end.
The most important thing now is to get through that effect.
whoosh.
The Phantom Beast King took a step forward, approaching rapidly, and suddenly put pressure on the Flame Swordsman.
Whoosh!
The two swords were brought together in the hands of the Flame Swordsman, drawing a crescent-shaped arc from the lower left to the upper right, and scorching flames burst out.
These flames forced the Phantom Beast King to pause slightly, suddenly jump sideways to change direction, and the hair on his body became a little sticky.
The Flame Swordsman, bathed in flames, made the air in the area a bit more scorching.
call out!
As the Sword Master of Fire swung out his two swords to temporarily force back the Phantom Beast King, a sea-blue magic bullet blasted over, indicating the Silent Magician's attack.
The magic bullet was extremely fast and got stuck when he was putting away his knife.
The Flame Swordsman's expression remained unchanged. He instantly changed his grip from forehand to backhand. He leaned forward slightly and raised both swords at the same time. A whirlwind of fire spread out, carrying his body up, and he suddenly appeared in mid-air.
Combat skills, ascend to flame!
The flames raised by this move helped the Fire Swordsman to escape from the bombing range of the magic bullet to the extreme extent, but at this moment, the Phantom Beast King jumped high and even appeared above his head.
Without giving the Fire Swordsman any time to adjust, the cyclone condensed in the hands of the Phantom Beast King, and a claw tore his head apart cleanly.
Phantom hunting!
The flames suddenly spread in the air, and the Flame Swordsman was shattered on the spot.
At this time, there were only two seconds left for the seal to be effective.
whoosh!
The Silent Magician finished with a perfect magic bullet, injecting magic power into his body. Zhang Cheng tried to move away, but the distance was limited and he couldn't do such a difficult dodge.
Bang!
When the bombing sounded, Zhang Cheng's soul value was immediately reset to zero.
The whole process took nine seconds!
While the Seal of Engraving was in effect, Zhang Cheng was defeated directly.
This, this is eliminated?
Zhang Cheng's mind was a little confused, but the supervisor ignored him. He just glanced at Lin You and announced, "Number 777, Lin You wins."
Zhang Cheng finally reacted and looked at Lin You helplessly, "What bad luck! With your strength, you should be able to enter the main competition easily."
Lin You smiled and didn't say much.
Then he returned to the audience seats and scanned the area corresponding to the duel arena. After a while, he found Yi Zhiqing hiding in a high place.
He waved over there, not caring whether the other party saw it or not, as a greeting, and then left the place.
In the preliminary round, there were no duels particularly worth noting.
On the opponent side, it is also difficult to find specific research subjects.
It's not all about strength.
The more important thing is that there are too many people and they are not familiar with each other.
In this case, is it possible to have a panoramic view of all the games?
That's not realistic either. If you have the time, you might as well consider going to the local duel forum in Bird City. You might be able to find some valuable information there.
After leaving Area C, Lin You rushed to Area E where Liu Jun was. This guy was in the third game and the duel should not have started yet.
As a contestant, Lin You could watch the competition for free.
After finding the place, it didn't take long before I saw Liu Jun in the audience seats corresponding to Duel Arena No. 7.
This guy was so engrossed in watching the duel below that he didn't notice Lin You walking over.
Lin You walked over and patted his shoulder fiercely, "Niu son, which game is this?"
Liu Jun was startled when someone suddenly patted his shoulder, but when he saw it was Lin You, he couldn't help but say, "Lin You, you're so fast."
“Is this fast?”
Lin You felt a little embarrassed. If the guy in front of him hadn't played the bladder game, he would have come out long ago.
"That's not fast enough. Our second game has just begun." Liu Jun said.
In fact, the matching mechanism of this graduation cup is still very good. The players on both sides are basically evenly matched, and the duels generally last longer.
It is common for battles to take twenty or thirty minutes, and only a few take one or two minutes or even faster.
…
Liu Jun's game ended at around 11 o'clock. On the way back to the hotel, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
He won.
After fighting with the opponent for dozens of minutes, both of them ran out of magic power.
Relying on the resilience of those Beast Warrior monster cards, he managed to wear down his opponent.
Although the opponent's dueling ability is average, he is at least qualified to participate in the Bird City Graduation Cup. Winning the game is not easy.
Liu Jun kept a calm mind.
If you lose, you don’t lose anything; if you win, you make a lot of money.
If we win two more games, it wouldn't be too much to celebrate with champagne.
After returning, they had a free buffet at the hotel at noon, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
The afternoon game starts at 2 o'clock, and there is not much time to rest, so we still have to make the most of it.
As for magic, the organizers specially prepared 'Magic Source' potions for the contestants.
Lin You had used this potion in the duel class. It could restore 150 magic points in an hour.
Although the organizers were a bit stingy with the final winning prize money, they still took the quality of the competition into consideration.
Of course, this potion is not very expensive, about one thousand yuan per bottle, but the effect is very good, but the recovery speed is a bit slow.
In addition, this potion cannot be taken continuously within a day. Continuous use may affect the natural recovery of magic power.
If it is more serious, it will cause magic blockage.
…
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin You, full of energy after his nap, arrived at the Huiyao Arena.
The area remains unchanged, it is still Area C, but the venue has become Duel Field No. 6, and the one who appears quickly is the first one.
This time, the opponent is a short boy.
Sadly, the opponent's total magic power is significantly different from Lin You's, reaching more than 30 points.
Lin You was somewhat suspicious that this was the result of deliberate manipulation by the organizer.
Although there is a rule that contestants with more than 180 magic points will be temporarily given a bye, in fact, contestants with a total magic point of more than 160 points can safely enter the main competition without any unexpected problems.
The so-called accident was nothing more than a collision between two contestants whose magic power was over 160 points.
The organizers may not want to see such a situation, so they simply match these people with contestants who have little chance of entering the main competition.
A 30-point magic power gap is not just about magic power, but an all-round gap.
Especially when it comes to the training intensity and linkage of the cards, contestants with strong magic power are far superior to ordinary people.
When the magic power gap is quite significant, the situation can usually only be reversed by the quality of a single card.
But in fact, the card quality of high-magic duelists is often better.
Lin You didn't have to put in much effort when facing this opponent.
Still using the Seal of Engraving as a wedge, relying on the combination of Silent Magician + Beast King to suppress.
This time, he won easily without even using the black necklace.
In the current preliminaries, Lin You’s strength is like a wolf among a flock of sheep.
Two words.
massacre.
