Yu-Gi-Oh!: Ultimate Duelist

Lin Hao's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly realized what was about to happen. He calmly closed his book, tidied his desk, and then walked out of the classroom with a firm step. Huang Yao followed closely behind him, a hint of anticipation and nervousness in her eyes.

"Teacher, are we going to the duel arena for a duel?" Huang Yao asked first. Her voice was clear and pleasant, but it couldn't hide her inner uneasiness.

"Yes, this time we will use the drawing of lots. I have already drawn it for you. If you go there now, Huang Yao will duel with someone else first, and Lin Hao will have to wait for a while." Gao Hongliang said with a smile, his smile was full of encouragement and trust.

"Then how many people are participating in the school selection?" Lin Hao asked curiously, with a gleam of curiosity in his eyes.

"There are five students from our first year of high school participating in the selection, twenty students from the second year, and seventeen students from the third year, a total of thirty-two people participating in the selection." Gao Hongliang explained in detail, his tone full of expectations for the students.

"So how many people will our school select to participate in the inter-college duel this time?" Huang Yao asked immediately, with a serious expression on her face.

"Our school has five spots this time. If you're lucky, you can win four duels and get a spot. If you're unlucky, you'll have to duel with two other players in the quarterfinals, and the winner will get the fifth spot."

Gao Hongliang patiently answered the students' questions. After a pause, he continued, "As for Huang Yao, I think her chances of getting a place in the school are still very high. As for Lin Hao, losing doesn't matter. He just needs to keep trying."

"Okay, teacher." Lin Hao and Huang Yao said at the same time, their voices were neat and firm, as if expressing their determination to the teacher.

……

After Lin Hao and others arrived at the duel arena, they found that there were not many people in the huge duel arena. Obviously, most of the students were still in class, and they just called over the students who needed to duel according to the results of their draw.

At this moment, on the duel field, the two students who were dueling had reached the final moment. The man on the field said, "[Beast King Behemoth] (Attack 2700/Defense 1500) attacks [Gyu-Ghost] (Attack 2150/Defense 1950)."

As the monster on the opponent's field was destroyed, the health of the other man on the opposite side instantly dropped to zero.

At this time, the teacher on the duel field said, "Zhang Shan wins this round and advances to the next round."

After a pause, the teacher continued, "Next, please invite Huang Yao from the first grade to compete with Zheng Ping from the third grade."

Huang Yao's eyes were bright and determined. She raised her chin slightly and broke the silence first. Her clear voice rang out, "My turn, draw a card."

Her fingers were long and nimble, and she quickly pulled a card from her deck. She spoke decisively, "Summon [Hawk Woman Cyber ​​Bodysuit] (ATK 1800/DEF 1300) in Attack Position. By the way, this card's effect: This card's name is treated as [Hawk Woman] in the rules."

After explaining the card effects, Huang Yao used two fingers to pick up another card from her hand and presented it face-up to Zheng Pin. A slight smile crossed her lips, a hint of confidence. "Activate the Spell Card [Lost Lamb]. Its effect is: During the turn this card is activated, you cannot Summon, Flip Summon, or Special Summon. Special Summon 2 [Lamb Tokens] (Earth, 1 Star, Beast-Tribe, Attack/Defense 0) on your side of the field in Defense Position."

In an instant, two very small lambs appeared on Huang Yao's field, and they stayed on the field quietly in a defensive position.

Huang Yao leaned forward slightly, gave Xiaoyang a gentle look, then stood up, folded her hands across her chest, and said slowly: "I'm covering a card on the field, and the turn is over."

Soon, Zheng Pin's turn came.

He frowned, glanced at his hand, and tapped his fingers lightly on the table before making a decision. "My turn, draw a card."

Zheng Pin said calmly, "I summon a monster in face-down Defense Position on the field, covering five cards. This ends the turn."

Zheng Pin's actions immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

After all, it is very rare to cover five cards on the field at once.

Lin Hao was slightly worried about Huang Yao in the audience, his brows furrowed, thinking to himself: Judging from the opponent's situation, the cards he covered might be some very shady cards.

Huang Yao's expression did not change at all, she just raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she didn't care about the other party's actions.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was Huang Yao's turn again. "My turn, draw a card."

Huang Yao had just drawn a card when Zheng Pin suddenly revealed a sly smile and said, "Activate the Trap Card [Built-in Machine Gun]. Its effect is: Deal 200 points of damage to your opponent's Life Points equal to the total number of cards on their field and in their hand. Since you currently have 4 cards in your hand and 2 cards on the field, for a total of 6 cards, you will take 1200 points of damage."

In an instant, Huang Yao's health dropped to 2800 points.

Although her health was damaged, Huang Yao was not affected at all. She just narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Zheng Pin calmly.

Huang Yao said calmly, "Sacrifice the two [Lamb Tokens] on my field and summon [Nephthys, the Phoenix God] in Attack Position (ATK 2400/DEF 1600)."

At this time, Zheng Pin smiled and said, "I activate the Trap Card [Pitfall] on my field. Its effect is: When your opponent summons a monster with 1000 or more ATK, and when you Flip Summon it, destroy that monster."

In an instant, a huge hole suddenly appeared under the feet of the monster Huang Yao had just summoned to the field. He fell into it and then turned into pieces.

Seeing this, several people at the scene couldn't help but start talking.

"What a shame! I didn't expect such a powerful monster to be destroyed like this."

"That's right. Zheng Pin doesn't dare to fight the monster head-on. He only dares to play dirty tricks on it."

"Zheng Pin doesn't seem to have any powerful monsters in his deck. He relies on trap cards to trick people."

"That's really a moment of silence for this schoolmate."

"To duel with Zheng Pin, you need a strong heart, otherwise you won't be able to bear it."

"But the monster this schoolgirl just summoned seems to have some special abilities, but they're so rare that I can't recall them."

"Everything is destroyed, so any powerful abilities are useless."

Lin Hao in the crowd raised the corners of his mouth slightly, because he already knew that Huang Yao had an extremely high chance of winning this duel.
