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

　For a "normal supermodel," it's like scratching an itch at best against a "petrified skin" [Fossil Pterosaur (Ancient Form)].

　However, the "Sky Guardian" has a very serious problem with its "battery life".

　It cannot continuously unleash its strongest attacks.

　Therefore, it is impossible to "accumulate little by little into a large amount".

　Unless Tiffany has some special means to solve these problems.

　Otherwise, even if the [Fossil Pteranodon (Ancient Form)] simply stood still and let the "Sky Guardian" unleash its "divine punishment," it would still be impossible for the "Sky Guardian" to defeat it.

　This is what is meant by "being invincible"!

　Conversely, the "Sky Guardian" has very limited damage resistance. It can be pierced by the three-in-one beam of the "Sky Ultimate Dragon". Not to mention the "Ancient Sword" transformed from the [Fossil Aerodactyl (Sword Beast)].

　A single strike from the Ancient Sword might not be as powerful as a beam of light from the Celestial Ultimate Dragon. However, the Ancient Sword can charge repeatedly, and with just a few strikes, it can completely destroy the Celestial Guardian.

　That's exactly what was done with the fossil pterosaur (ancient form).

　[Sky Guardian] rides the storm and strikes with a palm.

　Unlike the "Sky Dragon," the Fossil Pteranodon (Ancient Form) was not slapped into the dust.

　Ultimately, the defense of the [Fossil Aerodramus (Ancient Form)] is far superior to that of the [Sky Ultimate Dragon].

　Both are twelve-star magical spirits, but no one knows how terrifying the [Fossil Wyvern (Ancient Form)] is when it goes all out.

　If it were merely a one-on-one battle between magical spirits, "Sky Ultimate Dragon" might not be a match for "Fossil Aerodactyl (Ancient Form)".

　The strength of a duelist is not determined by the strength of a single magical spirit.

　"Celestial Ultimate Dragon" is only one part of Pandora's power.

　Dark focused his gaze and saw the [Fossil Pteranodon (Ancient Form)] charging at the [Sky Guardian] while wielding two [Ancient Swords], stubbornly withstanding the [Sky Guardian]'s powerful attacks and remaining standing.

　The "Sky Guardian" swung its palms repeatedly, enraged beyond measure. However, its attack method was actually quite simple, at most summoning a gale to blow along with its palms, which was completely ineffective against the [Fossil Aerial Dragon (Ancient Form)].

　Dark stood there, not bothering to bypass the "fossilized pterosaur" and attack it.

　Two "ancient swords" surged within his body, causing his already fragile form to fade further, until he vanished without a trace, leaving only a gentle breeze behind.

　The duel had already ended at this point.

　But Tiffany was completely unaffected by the fall of the "Guardian of the Sky". She continued to draw cards and summon, using the "Sky Overlord" as a shield to relentlessly attack the [Fossil Aerial Dragon (Ancient Form)] until she ran out of options and had no more strength left.

　On the other hand, Disney Nehm, who was dueling with Aurora on the other side, was affected by this situation. Aurora found an opening and launched a surprise attack, instantly putting him at a disadvantage.

　Disney has also made significant adjustments in the past two weeks. It has abandoned the less effective crowd control skills and instead focused on a single offensive strategy. However, without summoning the "Guardian of the Sky," it has managed to fight Aurora to a standstill.

　But once this flaw was exposed, the balance was broken, and it became extremely difficult to turn the tide afterward.

Chapter 1299 The Prey with Nowhere to Escape (4k)

　However, Disney has indeed grown significantly in terms of mindset, and did not experience much emotional fluctuation due to losing to Aurora again.

　Through this second duel, he finally understood the gap and differences between himself and Aurora.

　His magical abilities are definitely superior to Aurora's. The reason he lost to Aurora in both duels wasn't due to a lack of magical skill. After recognizing both himself and his opponent, he should focus on improving his weaknesses or further developing his strengths to outweigh his shortcomings. In short, there's no need for excessive discouragement. The curtain has just been raised on this new world; who will go further in the future remains to be seen.

　The only thing Disney is frustrated about is that it can't have a proper duel with Darko Dimon like it did with its sister for the time being.

　It wasn't because Dark had already accepted the duel—after all, he had a general feeling that Dark wouldn't refuse a duel—but because he had also expended a lot of energy in his duel with Aurora, and many of his magic cards were on cooldown, so he couldn't duel Dark Demon in his prime, which naturally left him with a lot of regrets.

　So he will take a short break before challenging Darko Dimon again.

　Anyway, this day is still long.

　However, just as Disney made up his mind, he suddenly saw Diana leap down from the rooftop next to him and ask with great interest, "Are you still okay? Do you want to have a duel with me?" Disney looked at Diana, who, like Aurora, possessed superhuman strength, and felt a little panicked.

　But how can a man say no?

　“Five minutes,” he suddenly blurted out. “Okay, okay,” Diana said with a smile.

　She has a longer rest period after her duel than Disney, so let him have a break.

　According to the competition rules, Disney had no right to refuse her duel challenge.

　But she wasn't in a hurry. It's a competition, after all; friendship comes first.

　……

　"Wow, I lost! I lost!"

　The five of them entered the shop and sat down on either side of a long table. It was only then that Tiffany Neham stretched out her arms, lay down on the table, and began chattering away.

　A duel is indeed a good way to understand your opponent.

　After her duel with Dark, Tiffany immediately seized the opportunity to climb up the pole, trying to get to know him better.

　Disney, in perfect sync with his sister, quickly infiltrated the group of Dark and his two companions under the pretext of a duel with Diana in five minutes.

　Then, Wang Li, the brother and sister, arrived at St. Mary's College for almost a month. Except for the first night when they...

　After signing, even Disney, who was in the same class as Dark, couldn't find an opportunity to get to know him. Unexpectedly, they developed some acquaintance during this final round of the competition.

　Well, it was just a five-minute acquaintance!

　As soon as the five minutes were up, Diana immediately straightened up and stared intently at Disney.

　Disney and Tiffany were talking about their adventures of sneaking out of Sky City to watch the dueling match, and had no intention of stopping to do anything else.

　The reason they were able to sit here and chat so happily with Dark and the others was...

　Because of this incident, B-—they don't want to lose goodwill because of it.

　In short, Disney sighed inwardly, stood up, and said to Diana, "Let's fight!"

　"St. Marian Academy versus Sky Magic Academy, I never expected there would be a duel between them."

　In the commentary booth, Kingsley and Tonya exchanged a glance, both showing excitement.

　This commentary was definitely the right choice. The exciting duels kept coming one after another, it was nonstop!

　Just now, the duel between Dark and others had just ended, and the results of the duel between the Holy Mystic Academy and the Elven Magic Academy had also been announced.

　The two teams from the Holy Ritual Academy and the Elven Magic Academy were indeed evenly matched. In this duel, each team chose its own opponent, and the final result was that both teams won and lost.

　Moreover, both sides have challengers and challengers, thus gaining a 30-minute duel protection period.

　After that, instead of exchanging opponents and continuing the duel, they returned to reason and quickly withdrew.

　Not long after they left, teams from other colleges found the place, searched it briefly, and then left again.

　The duel protection time is a hard rule.

　However, someone can only accept a duel if someone initiates it.

　The competition has only just begun, so the person who initiated the duel is certainly not protected by the rules.

　Therefore, if you can arrive in time after A and B start their duel, there is a high probability that you will catch the easy target who has just been weakened in the duel.

　Picking the softest persimmon... no, that's called making good use of the rules!

　However, the teams from the Holy Ritual Academy and the Elven Magic Academy had clearly anticipated this. Therefore, they retreated immediately after their duel, denying any legitimate opportunity for the newcomers to steal a victory.

　After this wave of duels ended, another wave of duels immediately followed.

　Those were the teams from the Public Magic Academy and the War Totem Academy.

　A four-person team from the public magic academy, led by senior captain Keynes Manan, was being chased by a five-person team led by Shrek Holmes. However, they inadvertently entered the perception range of the Sky Magic Academy team. That Sky Magic Academy team was led by Tess, a member of the "Jade Clan" from the lower grades. But besides Tess, there was another senior...

　The contestants from each grade level are on duty.

　After discovering the approach of Cairns Manan and his men, they first conducted routine reconnaissance to confirm the composition of Cairns Manan's team.

　Then, without hesitation, they launched a full-scale offensive against them! The Sky Magic Academy team also consisted of four people, but it was composed of one senior student leading three junior students.

　Judging from the grade ratio, it should not be as good as the public magic academy which consists of "two plus two".

　However, the Sky Magic Academy still initiated the duel.

　So it's four vs four.

　The senior, long-lived player will face off against Cairns Manan.

　Tess from the "Jadeite Clan" will then face off against another senior student from the Public Magic Academy.

　Finally, the four lower-grade students faced off against each other.

　The Public Magic Academy's "sensing radar" had just detected the Sky Magic Academy's team when they were already closing in, and this time there was no time to escape.

　Moreover, with wolves in front and tigers behind, escape was inevitable. Cairns Manan's expression was grave, and the three players he was with looked ashen-faced, feeling that their luck had been terrible today, escaping one wolf's mouth only to be plunged into another.

　They were clearly heading towards the entrance of the War Totem Academy, but instead encountered the Sky Magic Academy team.

　This is truly bad luck.

　The only saving grace was that the rules protected them, so they didn't have to worry about being stripped of their second layer of sheep's clothing by the Holy Church Mystic Academy's team that was chasing from behind.

　Magical duels unfold and proceed extremely quickly. Five minutes is enough for most duels to end.

　This time, the stage lights shone on the Public Magic Academy and the Sky Magic Academy.

　Then the audience witnessed once again what it means for the underdog to overthrow the superior.

　Challenging students beyond their level is not exclusive to St. Mary's Academy.

　Tess of Sky Magic Academy, with her rock-solid defense and equally impressive attack, successfully defeated the senior student from the public magic academy.

　In the duels among the lower grades, Sky Magic Academy also held an absolute advantage.

　The only suspense lies between Cairns Manan and the senior students of the Sky Magic Academy.

　Given the inherent advantages of the Sky Magic Academy.

　There wasn't a single weakling among their senior students. Cairns Manan was already the strongest among the students from the public magic academy, yet he could only manage a stalemate with them.

　Even after his opponent went all out, Cairns Manan was still at a disadvantage.

　Everyone... including Shrek Holmes and others who had caught up from behind, was watching the duel between Keynes Manan and the senior student from the Sky Magic Academy.

　Shrek Holmes and his party arrived just in time, and couldn't help but feel regretful that their prey had gone to waste.

　But big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp.

　Since we've already lost the chance to duel the team from the Public Magic Academy, let's turn our attention to the team from the Sky Magic Academy!

　St. Maryan Academy defeated Sky Magic Academy in the second round to win the championship.

　Shrek Holmes was certainly not afraid of the contestants from the Sky Magic Academy.

　Moreover, there was only one senior student in that team.

　After discussing with Marscare and the others, they unanimously approved the challenge to a duel against the Sky Magic Academy team.

　However, adhering to the belief that "a gentleman does not take advantage of others' misfortunes," Shrek Holmes communicated briefly with Tess of the victorious Jade Clan. The two agreed that after the duel between Cairns Manan and the senior student from the Sky Magic Academy, the Sky Magic Academy would be given five minutes of rest before the duel could begin again.

　Five minutes isn't a long time, but it's not short either. It's enough time for a mage to replenish the magic power of a regular magic spirit card.

　So they gathered together, all waiting for the duel between Cairnsmanan and the senior student from the Sky Magic Academy to end quickly.

　The senior student from the Sky Magic Academy was Jimi Child of the "Bronze Clan".

　Jimmy Child is not only a mage but also a seasoned barrier master.

　He used the "bronze" artifacts and magical spirits he summoned as the core of the formation to set up a barrier to strengthen his defense, successfully blocking Cairns Manan's robot attack.

　Then, using the barrier as a base, he continuously deployed "turrets" to shoot down the giant robots summoned by Cairns Manan one by one, gradually gaining the upper hand.

　This defensive "turtle tactic" may not look good, but a good tactic is one that brings victory.

　In last week's duel, Jimi Child successfully defeated "Fairy Princess" Eluri Clarissa using this tactic.

　Although Cairns Manan had some foresight, this kind of steady and methodical tactic is the hardest to break.

　He attempted to break through Jimmy Child's defenses before they were fully formed, but ultimately failed.

　His defeat further confirmed that the Public Magic Academy team was indeed lacking in competitiveness in this Academy Championship.

　Therefore, after the complete defeat, Cairns Manan had no choice but to retreat with an extremely unpleasant expression.

　After losing a total of four points, Cairns Manan's four-man team all entered duel protection time. Although they left in a disheveled state, they were not in a hurry. They even stopped after leaving the sight of the two teams, choosing a spot with a display screen to watch the Sky Magic Academy.

　The duel between the two teams from the Academy and St. Marian Academy.

　However, they were unaware that the team led by the "genius inventor" Babayevnedam had also lost four points.
