Killing monsters with a 100% explosion rate, are you luckier than me?

"Entering combat phase! [Astral Dragon], attack directly!"

A direct attack of 2500 points.

If successful, Ye Chuyun's health points will be reduced to zero.

Is it finished?

Do not!

Ye Chuyun's eyes flashed sharply!

"Activate the effect of the already destroyed [Bud ​​of Evolution]!"

The Sprout of Evolution was destroyed by Magic Blast, but Ye Chuyun has not been able to activate its effect.

Now I finally have a chance to use my skills.

"When this card is destroyed, you can Special Summon one Attribute Infantry from your Deck. Place it in Defense Position."

As soon as he finished speaking, a phantom image of a soldier holding a shield instantly appeared on Ye Chuyun's field, blocking the dragon.

According to the rules, when the opponent's monster attacks, if there are monsters on our side of the field, we must attack the monsters first.

So the next second, the [Astral Dragon]'s attack landed on the [Attribute Infantry] in defense position.

boom!

[Attribute Infantry] was destroyed, but since it was in a defensive position, Ye Chuyun will not suffer combat damage.

It was a close call.

Ye Chuyun's health points were narrowly maintained at 88.

Master has 889 health points remaining.

Currently, only the opponent possesses the powerful [Astral Dragon] on the field, while Ye Chuyun has an empty field with nothing on it.

It was Ye Chuyun's turn, and she had reached a desperate situation.

With 0 cards in hand, an empty field, and 88 life points, you are facing an opponent's dragon with 2500 attack power.

"Draw a card!"

This is the last hope.

Ye Chuyun's eyes lit up as she flipped over the card.

【Desperate Struggle (Strategy Card)】: Pay half of your LP as a cost.

Effect: This turn, you may Special Summon any number of monsters from your Graveyard. These monsters will have their Attack Power doubled this turn, but will be destroyed at the end of the turn.

Pay half of the LP.

Your current health is 87, so half of that would be 43.5.

After paying, your health will be reduced to only 43.5, and all monsters will be wiped out at the end of the turn. This is a true all-or-nothing gamble!

But this is the only chance!

The graveyard contains [Attribute Cavalry] (1500 attack power), [Attribute Archer] (1600 attack power), and even the earliest [Attribute Infantry] (500 attack power).

"Pay half of your health to activate [Desperate Struggle]!" Ye Chuyun practically roared.

Health points instantly plummeted to 43.5.

"Special Summon from Graveyard depending on the effect."

"Return, [Attribute Cavalry]! [Attribute Archers]! [Attribute Infantry]!"

Three beams of light shot into the sky from the cemetery.

The phantoms of cavalry, archers, and infantry once again stood on the field.

Furthermore, under the effect of "Fight to the Death", their attack power is all doubled!

[Attribute Cavalry] Attack power 1500 → 3000!

[Attribute Archer] Attack Power 1600 → 3200!

[Attribute Infantry] Attack power 500 → 1000!

Total attack power reaches 7200!

"Enter the battle phase!" Ye Chuyun's eyes blazed as he pointed at the [Astral Dragon] on Master's field.

"[Attribute Cavalry] Attack [Astral Dragon]!"

The cavalry launched a desperate charge! 3000 attack power versus 2500 attack power.

The Astral Dragon let out a mournful cry as it was destroyed by the Attribute Cavalry!

Combat damage: 500 points!

Master's health also immediately decreased by 500 points, leaving him with 389 points.

[Deal 500 points of combat damage, receive double the amount back!]

This time it's 100 million attribute points!!

With victory seemingly within her grasp, Ye Chuyun suppressed her excitement.

"It's not over yet, [Attribute Archer], attack now!"

The energy arrow shot out and hit Master directly.

Master's health points dropped to zero.

[Deal 389 points of combat damage, receive double the amount back!]

Gained 77.8 attribute points.

Congratulations on winning the "Evolution Duel"!

[Total LP damage dealt: 300 + 500 + 389 = 1189 points!]

[Double attribute points returned: 237.8 million!]

[Final LP settlement: Initial 400 + Net Profit = ? ? (A huge number)]

An unprecedented torrent of attribute points surged into Ye Chuyun's body.

His total attribute points reached an astronomical number that even he himself found difficult to calculate.

"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!" Duelist Master exclaimed, his eyes filled with awe and satisfaction.

"Seizing the only chance of victory in a desperate situation, and launching a reversal with unparalleled courage, you have passed the test, challenger of fate."

Master's figure, along with the dueling platform, began to slowly dissipate.

"Keep moving forward, and be extra careful of the challenges ahead."

Ye Chuyun thought for a while, then continued on her way.

Soon they arrived at the location of the eighth test.

Not far ahead, a uniquely shaped frame appears in the center of the corridor.

The shelves were casually filled with all sorts of antiques, from rusty armor fragments to ceramic vessels, from yellowed sheepskin maps with curled edges to jewelry boxes inlaid with gemstones—a dazzling array, making it difficult to distinguish the genuine from the fake.

A statue stands in front of the display shelf.

The statue is dressed in a silk robe and a small round hat. It is slightly plump and looks like a merchant.

It held a magnifying glass in one hand and a golden abacus in the other, the beads making a crisp clinking sound with the slight movement of its fingers.

"Oh, a new guest has arrived! You must have an extraordinary air about you and be quite wealthy!" The merchant statue's words exuded a mercenary aura, and its warm smile seemed somewhat insincere.

"I am Jia Fugui, a connoisseur specializing in ancient and modern artifacts. I treat everyone fairly, young and old."

Ye Chuyun looked at it calmly, waiting for it to continue.

Jia Fugui rubbed his hands together, his smile widening: "Guest, I think you have a special connection with these long-forgotten treasures."

"How about this, I'll give you a chance to participate in a small appraisal game?"

He pointed to the display shelf with a magnifying glass: "The rules are very simple. Look, I have a batch of mysterious ancestral artifacts here, a total of twenty pieces."

"You only need to buy them all at a friendly price of 100,000 attribute points each."

"That's a total of two million attribute points!"

Two million!

Ye Chuyun's eyelids twitched; this was practically going to bankrupt him.

But he didn't interrupt, and listened quietly.

“After you buy them, all you need to do is appreciate them, and then…” Jia Fugui’s eyes gleamed with cunning.

"Find a way to sell them back to me."

"Sell it back to you?" Ye Chuyun raised an eyebrow.

“That’s right!” Jia Fugui patted the abacus. “My buyback policy is: if you sell me an antique and I authenticate it as genuine, I will buy it back at double the price, which is 200,000 attribute points per item.”

"But if it's a fake... hehe, then I can only buy it back at the original price of 100,000 points."
