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

　However, potions are ultimately external things.

　Most mages are quite averse to using techniques like potions to modify themselves. Therefore, the provisional training in martial arts has become the future educational policy temporarily proposed by St. Marian Academy.

　During the summer camp, pilot education was also conducted with the students at that time.

　The conclusion was that this educational approach is not suitable for all students.

　But there is nothing we can do about it.

　After all, martial arts training also requires talent, and it takes a lot of time to hone one's skills.

　The future of St. Mary's College will likely require more research to bring about change. But Dark is certain he is lucky.

　He should have been one of the more mediocre martial arts talents. But he discovered that his talent was gradually improving.

　If he allocates a portion of his daily study time to martial arts training, his strength will steadily increase.

　He frowned, deep in thought.

　This brief moment of distraction had no negative consequences. Bastimon had already resumed its "Vampire Dance." A dark tide surged around it, and the "Vampire Gems" it wore emitted a hazy, bloody glow as it rapidly approached with its dance-like movements.

　After discovering that the "Emperor Lion Sword" had failed to kill him instantly, Grace Leon immediately summoned his first magical spirit.

　That's a six-star magical spirit—"The Martyr"! The "Martyr" has a very special passive ultimate skill.

　This passive ability can be triggered whenever a higher-ranking magical spirit dies on the field, allowing it to be Special Summoned.

　Grace Leon discovered through experimentation that the "Heroic Skill Imperial Burial" could also create an environment that met the conditions, thereby triggering this passive ability.

　Therefore, the Spell Card "Martyr" was added to Grace Leon's deck.

　At this moment, he Special Summoned "The Martyr" from his hand and immediately ordered it to use its ultimate move - "The Martyr"!

　"Funeral" is a sacrificial ultimate skill.

　By using "Sacrifice," the "Sacrifice" allows the user to sacrifice their own life to summon a higher-ranking magical spirit.

　In other words, the death of a high-ranking magical spirit can be used to special summon "Martyr".

　The death of a "sacrifice" can also be used to specially summon a high-ranking magical spirit.

　What Grace Leon wanted to summon was the nine-star magical spirit—"Sword Lion Totem Beast"!

　Most duelists at War Totem Academy are straightforward and honest, with only a minority being professionals like the Witch Doctor.

　They had only recently moved away from the "axe-wielding duel" environment and still retained similar habits.

　Grace Leon was not immune to this essence either.

　Besides using the "Heroic Soul of the Lion" and the "Lion Sword" to enhance his combat power, he most often summons "Totem Beasts" to fuse with his own totem, thereby borrowing the power of the "Totem Beasts" to further strengthen himself! The only regret is that "Totem Beasts" and "Heroic Souls" do not have the possibility of completely coexisting.

　When he is imbued with the "Hero's Soul", he cannot fully unleash the power of the "Totem Beast".

　Conversely, the same applies.

　Therefore, when he summoned the nine-star magical spirit [Sword Lion Totem], he first dispelled the possession of "Heroic Soul Emperor Lion" and instead allowed "Sword Lion Totem Beast" to merge with his own totem before re-possessing "Heroic Soul Emperor Lion".

　In this way, although he cannot fully unleash the power of "Heroic Soul Emperor Lion", he can still use "Mind's Eye".

　Grace Leon's totem is located on her right shoulder, and after it appears, it spreads to half of her neck, the right side of her chest and abdomen, and her right forearm, covering a fairly large area.

　After fusing with the "Sword Lion Totem Beast," his physical strength instantly increased. It not only made up for the loss of the full enhancement from the "Heroic Soul Emperor Lion," but even surpassed it.

　His body swelled up as a result, becoming taller and larger, and his right arm grew thicker and longer, reaching down to his calf.

　He can unleash the ultimate move of the "Sword Lion Totem Beast" by bringing his five fingers together, transforming his right arm into a "sword"!

　Such "totem beasts," capable of weaponizing their own bodies, are extremely rare. This is also the replacement Grace Leon used after losing the "Emperor Lion Sword."

　At this moment, his power must have surpassed that of a nine-star being, though his speed might be slightly inferior to before. However, with the "Lion Oil Shop" as a supplement, he wouldn't be weak.

　Upon sensing the approach of "Bastimon" again, Grace Leon, having activated his "Mind's Eye," charged forward, his right arm transforming into a thick, black greatsword that slammed down like a hammer.

　But Bastimon lightly stomped its feet and dodged the attack of the Lion Sword by dancing in a circle.

　It leaned back slightly, and the tip of the "Lion Sword" grazed its chest.

　Then it pounced from the side where the "Lion Sword" swept past, its left claws snapping shut as it grabbed at Grace Leon's chest.

　"Roar--"

　But Grace Leon suddenly let out a beastly roar, unleashing a shockwave shaped like a lion that forced the "Basdi Beast's" claws away.

　He had a strange feeling that he absolutely couldn't let "Bastimon" get close!

　However, the "Basdi Beast" was extremely agile, and even when its left claw was swung away, it was unable to make it retreat.

　Taking advantage of the situation, it turned to the side and its two leopard-spotted tails lashed out at Grace Leon.

　The force of the tail lash is not actually great, but the speed is extremely fast, making it impossible to avoid.

　However, Grace Leon, with his eyes wide open, quickly arched his tall frame backward, forming a bridge, and managed to dodge the lashes from the two cat tails.

　When he opens his "mind's eye," he sees things more clearly and more acutely than when he uses his naked eyes.

　Moreover, after dodging the cat's tail lash, Grace immediately activated "Lion Oil Walk," maintaining a "bridge" posture and suddenly sliding forward, avoiding the subsequent attack in a way that "Bastymon" had never expected.

　Bastimon looked surprised and even paused for a moment. Darkdemon, who was watching from the other side, also couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.

　Grace Leon's "mind's eye" seems to be able to sense changes in emotions.

　A cold smile appeared on his face. After switching places with "Bastimon," he suddenly changed targets and pounced on Darkdemon! Clearly...

　Even under such dire circumstances, he still understood that this was a magical duel, and it was pointless to fight a magical spirit. Only by killing the duelist could he achieve victory.

　In the "Lion Oil Shop," Grace Leon's speed was slightly slower than when the duel had just begun, but it was still incredibly fast.

　However, having already suffered a loss once, how could Dark be allowed to be attacked by the same move a second time?

　He didn't even make a move; with just a thought, the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon," which had been gathering power for some time, suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a beam of destructive white light!

　The "destructive jet of white light" struck Grace Leon's inevitable path.

　Grace Leon couldn't stop at all. He was instantly hit by the white light, his whole body was charred black, and he was forced to retreat.

　This is the drawback of "Lion Oil Shop".

　While it increases Grace's speed, it only increases the speed of straight-line gliding and makes Grace difficult to turn.

　These flaws were insignificant in the face of the increased speed, but now they were being fully exploited by Dakdimon.

　However, a single "destructive jet of white light" was not enough to kill Grace Leon.

　He was slightly disheveled but still wanted to continue. But "Basddimon" had already caught up.

　Perhaps because Grace had slipped through its fingers, Basti's rage burned even brighter, its movements becoming faster and more ruthless. The cat and the lion engaged in another fierce battle!

　From an objective point of view

　"Bastimon" was actually not in a good condition at this time.

　It had withstood the blow that pierced its chest from the "Emperor Lion Sword," and its magic power was actually quite low.

　The ultimate skills "Chaos" and "Vampire Dance" have already been released. The only remaining active ultimate skill, "Vampire Gem," requires an attack to hit before it can absorb blood. Only then can the gem, now full of blood, be thrown out to trigger "Blood Explosion."

　However, if the attack hits, there's no need for the "Vampire Gem." As long as you can come into contact with "Grace Leon," there's a chance to trigger "Charm."

　At that time, even with Grace Leon's eyes closed, she could not escape the "allure" of the allure.

　This allure, doubly effective on felines, is simply terrifying.

　Grace Leon was unaware of the conditions that triggered this "charm." However, avoiding "goddess contact" was a standard way to prevent himself from being charmed by the goddess. Therefore, he had been trying his best to avoid it after sensing the danger.

　As for his arm—when it transforms into the "Lion Sword," an extremely thick layer of keratin, which is not flesh, grows on the outside of the arm, so it cannot be considered "touching."

　This is also the only place where Grace Lyon can "make contact" with the "Basti Beast".

　By deliberately avoiding contact with "Bastimon", he was "limited in every way" and could not effectively exert his own strength.

　Moreover, his intention to avoid "contact" was not actually very firm. "Bastimon" uses cat claws as weapons, and his intention to "contact" is completely hidden in his attacks, making it not easy to see through.

　Therefore, even though Grace Leon is superior to "Bastimon" in various combat techniques, he cannot easily defeat "Bastimon".

　Conversely, "Bastimon" only needs one opportunity to take it down.

　The outcome of this battle is still uncertain until it is over.

　However, in the eyes of the commentators and the audience, Darko Dimon was clearly in the lead.

　Grace Leon's initial surprise attack failed to take down Dark Dimon, and subsequent attacks, including "Heroic Skill: Imperial Burial," were also ineffective. His next surprise attack was blocked by "Blue-Eyes White Dragon." This series of attacks easily gave people the feeling that he had "run out of tricks."

　Although Dark Dimon was initially caught off guard by the surprise attack, he quickly recovered and successfully evolved into "Basdimon".

　After that, he remained calm and collected, holding onto several cards in his hand without letting go. He even summoned the already famous nine-star dragon – the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon".

　Although the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" wasn't Dark Demon's strongest magical spirit, its ease of summoning made it a core asset for him.

　His supporters feel a sense of security whenever they see "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" on stage.

　After all, it is that powerful and beautiful!

　The duel on Dark's side has temporarily reached a stalemate.

　Not far away, the situation in the duel between Diana and the "Tiger Kings" gradually became clear.

　Although her advantage actually stemmed from external factors, now that the duel had begun, she had to take responsibility for those external influences—she couldn't very well leave it to her opponent.

　Therefore, Diana felt perfectly justified in using this advantage. However, even so, it would be extremely difficult for her to fight against the "King Khajiit."

　This was originally a duel where the strength of the two sides was severely mismatched.

　Diana started the duel with the mindset that she wouldn't mind losing and would just be learning.

　However, after the duel began, she never expected to find an opportunity to win.

　With her keen observation, she quickly discovered the source of this opportunity and immediately realized that she had to act swiftly. Victory in this duel was only possible if she could end the battle before Dark's duel concluded, or before Bastimon was defeated.

　That is indeed extremely difficult to do.

　She exerted all her strength to finally gain some advantage. The "Tiger-Man Royal Family" also used similar tactics to hers, relying mainly on their own combat power, which was why she was able to persevere and find opportunities to win.

　However, precisely because of this, she found it difficult to learn anything from the "Tiger-Man Royal Family".

　She quickly discovered that this "Tiger-Man Royal Family" deck, aside from its totem beast system, was chaotic and unsystematic, consisting of just cramming random things into the deck. Aside from barely managing to maintain its strength, it had absolutely no strategy.

　Diana was certain that he was just "Diana Plus". But as Diana gradually consolidated her advantage, the "Tiger-Man Royal Family" finally unleashed his secret technique—"Berserk Mode"!

　"Berserk" is actually a general skill.

　Even among humans, there are warriors who can learn to "berserk," and they are usually called "berserkers."

　However, some orcs have a natural advantage when learning "Berserk." Some exceptionally talented orcs don't even need to learn it; they are born with the ability to master "Berserk."

　However, the problem of "berserk" causing people to lose control has always been difficult to solve. Therefore, once peacetime arrives, almost no one will voluntarily learn "berserk".

　Because after learning "Berserk Mode," even without actively activating it, it may automatically activate when experiencing significant emotional fluctuations, leading to indiscriminate attacks.

　These are all unavoidable problems.

　Therefore, over time, fewer and fewer people mastered "Berserk Mode," leaving only those with "extraordinary talent."

　This "Tiger-Man Royal Family" member is "exceptionally gifted," born with the ability to use "Berserk Mode."

　But this isn't all good.

　His life became dull for most of this reason.

　No one wants to be friends with someone who might lose control at any moment. That is, until he met a member of the orc royal family who was the same age as him.

　"Roar--"

　After using "Berserk Mode," the "Tiger-Man Royal Family" roared wildly, shocking everyone around them.

　Diana was caught in a tough battle.

　After using "Berserk Mode", the "Tiger King" is no longer someone whose gaze is immediately drawn to "Bastimon" from afar.

　However, he lost his rationality and was unable to control himself; although he possessed great power, he was unable to exert it effectively.

　More importantly, he cannot use magic cards while in his "Berserk" state.

　This became the key to Diana's victory.
