The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　His "Tyrannosaurus Momentum" enveloped the "Airspeed Dragon," as if a Tyrannosaurus shadow had been wrapped around the body of the "Airspeed Dragon," making it seem as if "man and dragon were one," incredibly ferocious.

　On the ground, Lyrella, who had been confident of victory, suddenly frowned. But the "Thunder Clam" was about to charge and there was no way it could stop.

　She could only watch helplessly as "Thunderbolt" collided head-on with "Skyspeed Dragon," and was then sent flying by the "Skyspeed Dragon" which was carrying the momentum of "Tyrannosaurus Rex."

　The "Thunder Clam" was enveloped in electric currents that splashed through the air as it tumbled and fell to the ground.

　Suddenly, powerful and stirring music filled the area around the dueling arena, instantly igniting the audience's passion.

　Only Lyrella's expression was extremely solemn. She glanced at the newly drawn magic card and quickly pulled one out of the duel disk.

　Her overconfidence has cost her dearly; her failure to plan ahead has resulted in limited adaptability.

　Fortunately, Duolong's "momentum" had only just begun to take shape. Although he sent the "Thunder Clam" flying, he did not inflict fatal damage on it.

　She still has room to maneuver.

　Moreover, she looked up and observed carefully, thinking to herself, "Just as I suspected."

　Humans possess a unique ability called "qi" that other races cannot imitate. Although some people consider sea creatures to be "demi-humans," they are fundamentally different from demi-humans such as orcs, elves, and dwarves.

　The most obvious difference is that sea creatures do not have the talent to cultivate "qi".

　But the more something is missing, the more attractive it is to study.

　The "Ocean Magic Academy" offers a wide range of courses on human research, including one specifically dedicated to the study of "Qi".

　Leirila had taken that course and knew that when a human warrior's "ki" was cultivated to its peak, although it could unleash "momentum," that "momentum" was formed by condensing the body's energy and usually could not be sustained.

　Simply put, it consumes a huge amount of resources and can only be used as a last resort in critical moments.

　Especially for someone like Duolong who has just broken through to the point of condensation of "momentum", he can only maintain it for half a minute, which is the limit.

　"It was just a brief outburst. Although it relieved his predicament, it only brought the duel back to square one for the time being."

　"The duel has only just begun."

　Leirira cast aside the disadvantages of her previous underestimation and began to take her opponent seriously again.

　The magic card in her hand lit up with a bright blue light as she was summoned, and the sound of waves came from the card.

　She held up the magic card, and a mirage of the sea appeared around it. A stone monument shimmering with lightning emerged from the depths of the sea and surfaced before everyone's eyes.

　Suddenly, thunder roared in the sky, and lightning crackled across the stone tablet.

　After falling through the air, the "Thunder Clam" rolled several times but managed to regain its balance and let out a hiss at Doron.

　Then its body began to glow and become transparent.

　With a thought, the "Thunder Clam" transformed into light and was absorbed into the stone tablet she had summoned.

　Those who have studied marine life generally know that there are a considerable number of stone tablets in the ocean, the origin of which is unknown.

　Those stone tablets are extremely mysterious, but they occasionally emerge from the seabed.

　Legend has it that if a sailor encounters a stone tablet that rises from the seabed, he can find the treasure of the sea by offering the correct sacrifice.

　As for what constitutes a "correct" offering, and what will happen if the offering is not "correct," only heaven knows.

　In short, the stone tablet summoned by Lyrella is very likely a replica of that kind of legend, namely, the "Mystic Ritual".

　The background noise around the dueling arena gradually subsided, as if it were building up and waiting.

　Doron broke through the deadlock at the last minute.

　In an attempt to salvage the situation, Lyrella retrieved a mysterious arcane card. "Divine Cause" became increasingly active.

　And above the sky.

　Having finally recovered, Doron certainly couldn't stand idly by. He drew a magic card and quickly summoned a monster.

　Then another dragon roar was heard, and a long spear fell from the sky. The spear was covered with dragon patterns and was over two meters long. It was a dragon spear!

　Riding a dragon and wielding a dragon spear, Doron increasingly resembles a dragon knight who has stepped out of a story.

　But just when everyone thought he was summoning his weapon and preparing for close combat, he suddenly stood up on the back of the "Skyspeed Dragon." Although he caught the dragon spear, he didn't flip it over to grip it. Instead, he gripped the spear tightly and, under everyone's watchful eyes, forcefully plunged the gleaming dragon spear into the top of the "Skyspeed Dragon's" head!

　"Pfft!"

　The hard dragon scales melted away like tofu.

　The dragon spear summoned by Doron pierced the head of the "Skyspeed Dragon," with half of the spear tip protruding from below.

　[Airspeed Dragon] suddenly let out a cry.

　But the cry was not mournful; instead, it carried a fierce, fearless spirit. Blood flowed upwards from the wound, coiling around the dragon spear and transforming into a blood dragon that swirled around it.

　By the time the audience noticed, the "Skyspeed Dragon's" body had completely turned into a bloody blur.

　Duolong, who was originally standing on the dragon's back, now seemed to be standing on empty air.

　The blood-red light transformed from the "Sky Speed ​​Dragon" coiled around the dragon spear, then wrapped around Doron's right arm, and then spread over his entire body, quickly covering him like armor.

　—No, it's armor!

　The "Skyspeed Dragon" was devoured by the dragon spear, transforming into crimson dragon armor, which it instantly donned.

　That dragon spear was actually a "weapon card" with conditions and restrictions!

　Although it was already known that "Armed Cards" would definitely shine in the new duel rules.

　But when he saw the application of the "armed card" on Doron, Dak was still amazed.

　After Duolong finished dressing, blood began to swell on his back, and two dragon wings emerged.

　With dragon wings on his back, dragon horns on his head, and a dragon spear in his hand, he launched a fierce charge from the sky!

　"Boom!"

　Another clap of thunder echoed in the sky.

　Leirila watched Dorron transform, but she showed no fear whatsoever. Her ritual was also complete.

　The stone tablet that had absorbed the "Thunder Clam" cracked amidst the thunder.

　Immediately afterwards, a dazzling bolt of lightning shot out from the crack in the stone tablet.

　The lightning flashed with the faint sound of a dragon's roar, indicating that it was related to the "dragon".

　A cold smile crept across Lyrella's face as a magic card in her hand transformed into a mirror shield, floating in front of her chest.

　This mirror shield could be any size and could absorb impacts and convert lightning. As she watched Doron charge towards her with his dragon spear, she simply raised the mirror shield, and then lightning flashed between her hair as she frantically poured the electrical energy that would normally take two rounds to fully charge into the mirror shield.

　She switched from wielding one weapon to two, pointing the mirror shield at Doron, but instead of taking the impact, she directly channeled electrical energy into it and released lightning!

　The lightning on the mirror shield converged rapidly, illuminating the area.

　As the "Thunder Dragon" emerged from the stone tablet, lightning gathered into a pillar and was released from the mirror shield.

　"Boom!"

　Thunder rumbled, and bolts of lightning shot upwards.

　But Duolong flapped his dragon wings and his body suddenly spun and shifted in mid-air, actually dodging the instantaneous lightning bolt by anticipating it.

　Then, as expected, Lyrella used her hands to forcefully move the mirror shield sideways in the direction that Doron had dodged.

　Amidst the screams and gasps of the audience, Duolong's body was instantly engulfed by the lightning pillar.

　However, the duel and

　It's not over yet.

　A blazing crimson light erupted from the pillar of lightning, and the shadow of a flying dragon emerged from it. It was the dragon soul transformed from the "Skyspeed Flying Dragon" after it was devoured by the dragon spear, which blocked this fatal attack.

　With the soul of the dragon as his shield, Doron's eyes were resolute, his two dragon wings folded back and pressed tightly against his back, and his dragon spear broke through the lightning, its tip glowing with intense blood-red light.

　Just as he was about to reach Lyrella, he charged towards the mirror shield. "Bang!"

　It was as if a thunderbolt from the heavens had ignited a fire on the earth.

　The damage absorption limit of the Mirror Shield was actually broken by the Dragon Lance at that moment.

　The continuously released lightning bolts vanished without a trace the moment the shield shattered, leaving only the residual electric current.

　Lairila shifted her body to deflect the force, slamming the still-undisappearing remnants of the mirror shield hard against Doron's cheek.

　"Snapped!"

　This dragon armor has no helmet, only a headband.

　Doron's cheek made direct contact with the wreckage of the mirror shield, causing him excruciating pain.

　But he gritted his teeth and persevered, spreading his wings and turning around to unleash a sweeping dragon spear, aiming at Lyrella's slender waist.

　But when they were face to face, Doron suddenly realized that Lyrella was not panicked at all, and was even surprisingly calm. Her clear, ocean-like eyes reflected not only his own image, but also... the thunder dragon swooping down from behind him!

　"boom!"

　The Thunder Dragon materialized and swooped down from above, finally catching up with Doron. Its lightning-sparkling horns pierced through the dragon armor, skin, and abdomen.

　Doron was pinned to the ground.

　"Qian is good."

　Before losing consciousness, Doron only heard Lyrella's faint voice of approval.

　When he regained consciousness, he was standing in the "graveyard," feeling that his magic power was exhausted and his whole body was drained.

　The referee announced Lerella as the winner. He felt a little lost, but then clear music rang out around him, as if someone was encouraging and comforting him.

　"What is that?"

　He raised his hand, feeling as if something was floating towards him, but he didn't feel anything.

　Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he seemed to understand. "So that's how it is. This is divine cause." "So even defeat can attract divine cause..."

　The defeated are not without their gains.

　A considerable number of "Divine Causes" were drawn to the valiant Dorron. If one could see the "Divine Causes," one might even discover that he had acquired nearly as many as Lyrella.

　Dak closed his eyes, the golden light disappeared, and he was slightly surprised.

　According to the reasoning, theoretically, although the defeated can also gain the recognition of "divine cause", it is basically impossible for them to compare with the victor.

　What was the reason behind Doron's situation that made those "divine beings" particularly favor him?

　However, Doron's dragon armor is indeed amazing, and it seems to be a special weapon that can be used against different types of dragons.

　That dragon spear can devour different dragon species and transform them into weapons of different attributes. Of course, it certainly has its limits.

　Dark made a simple estimate that a six-star dragon species was probably the limit, but after transforming into his costume, Doron would definitely be stronger than a six-star magical elf.

　When combined with his own "qi" and combat skills, he has indeed become much stronger than before.

　Great power.

　"Every time I see someone else's magic cards, I always want to have them... but that won't do."

　Dak sighed inwardly, thinking to himself.

　He had his own armed system, so he didn't need to envy Doron. But if Senior Pandora could master this kind of dragon spear… well, he couldn't help but turn to look at Senior Pandora. Sure enough, he saw that her eyes were shining brightly, clearly indicating that she already had a new research goal.

　Only by constantly learning from the strengths of others can we continuously grow.

　The policy of closing the country off from the world was originally unreasonable.

　The duel between Doron and Lyrella was very exciting, especially the several dramatic turns that kept the audience on the edge of their seats.

　Through this duel, the audience gained some initial impressions of the sea people.

　However, Lyrella is so human-like that it diminishes the sense of wonder one gets from observing sea creatures.

　Her ability to unleash lightning was indeed impressive. However, while some special individuals among humans and demi-humans can awaken various supernatural abilities, ultimately they still lack the distinct characteristics of sea creatures.

　Of course, if a large group of electric mollusks stood in a row and simultaneously discharged electricity, it would be a completely different story.

　As the third duel came to an end, the audience gradually became familiar with the duels under the new rules.

　Past duels always felt like something was missing because the duelists didn't actually participate.

　The duels under these new rules, with the duelists themselves participating, feel less like magic duels.

　In conclusion, both of these dueling rules have their own advantages and disadvantages.

　However, that's about it for the initial impressions. After all, these three duels can't fully demonstrate the new dueling rules, so the audience can only score based on their impressions.

　Moreover, the spectator experience at the event was quite good, especially with the duelists themselves participating, which made it even more exciting and got the adrenaline pumping.
