High up in the auditorium.
Seeing Lin You coming on stage, Yi Zhiqing said while driving the live broadcast card: "Brother, that person is Lin You."
Sitting next to her was a young man with medium-length hair, who looked a bit cold and deep, about twenty-three or twenty-four years old.
The man nodded slightly and commented, "Zhiqing, you have good taste. That guy is quite handsome."
Yi Zhiqing blushed and said shyly: "Brother, don't talk nonsense, I didn't, I didn't..."
Seeing his sister's panic, the man laughed heartily and said, "Okay, I know. Zhiqing wouldn't be interested in superficial things. I've read some of his information. With his strength, he should be able to go far."
"Really?"
Yi Zhiqing was somewhat delighted. She actually didn't know how strong Lin You was. She initially chose to focus on live streaming Lin You after listening to the opinions of the audience in the live streaming room, but she sincerely hoped that Lin You could go further.
"Um."
The man said seriously, "If nothing unexpected happens, we have a chance to reach the top 16. Of course, there's also a chance to go further."
"If he has any hidden cards."
"Trump card?"
"After all, he has ended the battles quite quickly so far, so it's not surprising that he has some unknown cards hidden. We have to see how deep his cards are." The man seemed to be quite optimistic about Lin You.
While the brother and sister were talking, the competition officially began in the venue.
Lin You’s opponent in this match is a girl. Not only is she not nervous at the moment, but she also has a confident smile on her face.
She is a duelist from Huacheng. Although her magic power is not high, her card deck system is relatively complete. Therefore, she has absolute confidence in fighting against opponents with similar magic power as herself.
During the main competition, there were many people whose magic points exceeded hers by 20 or 30.
In this situation, Huacheng felt that she was extremely lucky to be matched with Lin You, whose magic power was only 8 points higher than hers.
The moment the duel began, the card in front of Huacheng girl turned over. It was not a monster card, but a magic card.
Under the flash of magical light, large cherry petals flew all over the sky.
As the petals danced, the Seal of Engraving appeared at the fastest speed, and several black chains directly penetrated into the soul barrier of Huacheng girl.
It's rare to encounter a player who starts with a magic card. It would be a shame not to seize this opportunity.
"What's this……"
The girl Huacheng was stunned for a moment, but then she discovered an extremely serious problem.
Her monster card won't come out!
"That's impossible."
She still couldn't figure out what was going on, but she was facing the combination of the Beast King and the Silent Magician in an empty field.
Seeing that things were not going well, Huacheng girl suddenly turned around and ran away.
The dueling venue for the main competition is more than ten times larger than the previous preliminaries. Therefore, the distance between the starting positions of the duelists is also adjusted to 50 meters.
Realizing that something was wrong, she forcefully injected magic power into her feet and ran at full speed, trying to wait for the abnormal effect to disappear.
But even if he injected magic power, how could he possibly shake off the pursuit of the Phantom Beast King who was known for his speed, not to mention the Silent Magician's magic bullets with extremely fast trajectory.
In less than five seconds, the girl from Huacheng was subdued on the spot.
She was quite depressed and confused after losing the game. At the end of the game, she couldn't help but ask, "What happened to your card?"
"nothing."
Lin You seemed to be saying something insignificant, "I just sealed your deck temporarily."
"The seal card deck, this must be a lie, is there any card as shameless as this?" The girl from Huacheng was stunned.
"It only took ten seconds, so it's not that hard to crack. The reason you were defeated so completely is because the magic card you activated first happened to be the starting card of the card linkage."
"How do you know?" Huacheng girl was stunned.
Lin You was a little surprised. This girl seemed a little dazed, but she still explained:
"Trap Cards are said to be activated instantly, but there's still a slight gap. If the card you're using isn't a Link Card, there's no need to wait for it to activate before activating the corresponding Monster Card. Instead, you can activate them all at once."
Magic cards are activated instantly, but take a second or longer to take effect.
The magic card activated by Huacheng girl is "Sakura Dance". After this card takes effect, the attack power of the summoned "Sakura Girl" will increase by 600 points.
Therefore, Huacheng girl must wait for it to take effect before she can summon the card.
If it was a battle against other people, there would be no need to consider this one-second wait, but Lin You's Seal of the Grave made perfect use of this moment of the card's effectiveness period.
Huacheng girl finally understood and started shaking her head, "Ah, why am I so unlucky?"
After winning the game easily, Lin You walked back to the audience seats. Now that it was the main competition stage, it would not be a bad idea to watch more games.
High up in the auditorium.
Witnessing Lin You’s victory, Yi Zhiqing clenched her fists happily.
The comments in the live broadcast room were also boiling.
Although every game of Lin You ended so quickly, this not only did not make the barrage feel boring, but instead made people feel proud of it.
To some extent, Lin You was the 'spokesperson' they chose for the live broadcast room. It was so cool to be able to crush his opponent so easily!
"It's true."
The young man also smiled slightly. "With his ability, if you want to defeat him, except for the top students of the two dueling high schools, the others have little chance."
Hearing this, Yi Zhiqing blinked and asked curiously, "If Lin You fights against those top students, will he have a chance of winning?"
"Of course there is."
The young man came to the conclusion first. Yi Zhiqing's face lit up with joy, but she heard him immediately add, "But frankly, the chances are slim. The magic power gap is still too big. 50 points of magic power is enough to crush him."
"I see..."
Yi Zhiqing felt a little disappointed again, but she quickly cheered herself up, "It's okay, just cheer for him. Every step forward is a victory."
…
As the games went on, the quality of the duels improved significantly during the main competition.
The first day of competition did not end until five o'clock in the afternoon.
Lin You also watched quite a few shows, but couldn't see anything for the time being.
Those strong contestants will not reveal their cards so quickly.
Just like himself, he still has many tricks up his sleeve.
After the main competition, Lin You went straight back to the hotel.
The next match, the 64 to 32 match, will not be held until the 23rd, so there is plenty of time.
After returning to the hotel, Lin You was not idle either, and went straight into the state of cultivation.
No matter how far he goes, Lin You will never miss his daily training of magic exercises.
…
Eat, train, watch movies, sleep.
During the more than a week of rest, Lin You's life became regular.
As for Liu Jun, he was completely immersed in the pace of life in Bird City, spending every day in the duel hall. No matter whether he won the duel or was beaten to death, he was still very happy.
This kind of life also motivates him to make progress, and he has gained a lot.
The 23rd will be here in the blink of an eye.
The 64-to-32 competition can be completed in just one day because there are fewer games.
The opponent that Lin You faced today was still not very strong, and there were even few players whose magic value was lower than his at this stage.
The result was naturally an easy victory, without any suspense.
While watching the game, Lin You discovered another thing, that is, those players with magic power above 180 points seemed to have never collided with each other.
In this regard, Du Xiaofei revealed that this was a deliberate move by the organizers in order to leave the more exciting matches for later as much as possible.
Lin You could also understand. After all, this Bird City Graduation Cup had nothing but monetary rewards for the first, second and third place winners. Even if one managed to make it to the later rounds, it would be meaningless.
But now, the top 32 have been officially decided.
Among them, there are about 20 students with magic points above 180 points.
In other words, no matter what, there will be several real clashes in the 32-to-16 match at the end of the month!
