Yu-Gi-Oh!: Ultimate Duelist

At this time, a student raised his hand and asked, "Teacher, if we encounter a card with a particularly complex effect, how can we quickly determine the response strategy?"

Gao Hongliang smiled and replied, "This requires you to accumulate more experience and become familiar with the combinations and patterns of various common effects. At the same time, you must calmly analyze the situation and not rush into making a move."

"Today I'm going to introduce you to an extremely powerful Spell Card—Soul Cross. This card's effect is: Select a monster on your opponent's field. During this turn, if one of your monsters is Tributed, you must Tribute the selected monster instead. Also, while this card is activated, you cannot enter the Battle Phase."

"It's important to note that while the target can only be a monster on your opponent's field, there's no specific rule for whether it's face-up or face-down. If you're unsure of the effects of the monsters your opponent controls, using this card as a board clear is a good option. After all, it's a relatively gentle way to clear the field, and you can also Super Summon a monster on the field.

If you're summoning a star 5 or 6 monster, using this card eliminates the need for a Tribute. For a star 7 or higher monster, you only need one Tribute. However, the most important thing isn't the reduction in summoning materials, but the ability to free up your opponent's monsters. If your opponent runs out of cards before summoning a powerful Fusion Monster, they'll be at a huge disadvantage.

"However, this card also has a significant negative effect: it will skip your own battle phase for this turn. Therefore, how to use it depends on the actual battle situation."

Gao Hongliang lectured his classmates on a lot of knowledge in class. He was so thirsty that his throat was almost smoking. So he picked up the water cup on the desk and took a few big gulps of water.

When he put down his water cup and glanced at his classmates, he found that several of them were distracted. Suddenly, anger surged in his heart. He raised his voice and said, "Next, we will enter the question time. The students I called on should stand up and answer my questions."

When they heard that questions were going to be asked, those students who usually did not do well in their studies instantly became nervous. They opened their eyes wide and concentrated their attention, fearing that their names would be called.

Gao Hongliang glanced around the classroom and said, "Wu Mengfan, please tell me how many types of magic cards there are."

When Wu Mengfan heard the teacher call his name, his heart skipped a beat. He was so nervous that he was at a loss. He stammered, "Well... magic cards are divided into quick-attack magic cards, equipment magic cards, and what else... field magic cards and continuous magic cards. I think that's all."

Gao Hongliang noticed that Wu Mengfan hadn't given a complete answer, so he continued, "In addition to the four types of magic cards Wu Mengfan just mentioned, there are also common magic cards and ritual magic cards, for a total of six types of magic cards. Okay, Wu Mengfan, you can sit down now. Don't be absent-minded next time in class."

Wu Mengfan felt relieved and quickly sat down.

At this time, Gao Hongliang continued to ask: "Student Li Ming, can you tell me how many types of cards there are?"

When Li Ming's name was called, he stood up with a grimace. However, when he heard the teacher's question, his nervousness immediately dissipated a lot, because he was confident about the answer to this question.

Li Ming answered confidently, "There are magic cards, trap cards, and monster cards."

Li Ming finished answering and was about to sit down, but the teacher didn't let him pass so easily. Instead, he continued to ask, "Then tell me, how many types of monster cards are there?"

Li Ming thought for a moment and replied, "There are Ritual Monsters, Fusion Monsters, and Normal Monsters. Oh, and there are Effect Monsters, too."

Gao Hongliang nodded, his expression slightly softened, and said, "Okay, sit down too. Listen carefully in class next time."

Li Ming quickly replied: "Okay, thank you, teacher."

When Gao Hongliang's eyes swept over Lin Hao, he was surprised to find that Lin Hao was still in a trance. So, he said, "Lin Hao, please tell me how many races there are of monster cards."

However, Lin Hao did not react at this time, as if he had not heard Gao Hongliang's question at all.

Gao Hongliang, upon seeing this, could not help but emphasize his tone and said, "Student Lin Hao, please stand up and answer the question."

Lin Hao was immersed in ecstasy at the moment. Just as he was in class, a voice suddenly came to his mind: "Ding, the system installation is complete."

"The system is binding to the host..."

"The system has been bound. Congratulations to the host for successfully binding to the 'Duel King Card System', receiving a novice gift pack, and 500 contribution points."

Lin Hao, extremely excited, quickly asked, "System, what are the contribution points for?"

"Contribution points can be used to purchase cards in the system mall."

"How do I get contribution points?"

"The system will issue various tasks, including main quests, side quests, daily quests, etc. As long as the host completes the tasks issued by the system or unlocks various achievements, they can gain a certain amount of contribution points."

Just as Lin Hao was about to ask the system for more information, he suddenly felt something strange around him. Lin Hao came to his senses and found that his deskmate Liu Feng was kicking him.

Soon, Lin Hao noticed something was amiss around him. All the eyes of his classmates, including the teacher, were focused on him. Lin Hao immediately sensed something was amiss. He quickly stood up and said with an embarrassed look on his face, "I just heard the teacher introduce the [Soul Intertwined] card, and then my mind got distracted..."

Hearing Lin Hao's answer, Gao Hongliang's expression eased a little. After all, when he first got this card, he was so happy that he couldn't describe it.

He could understand why an ordinary student like Lin Hao longed to own such a powerful card.

However, even though I understand it, I still can't let Lin Hao off so easily for being distracted during class.

Gao Hongliang continued, "Please answer the question: how many races are there in the monster cards?"

Lin Hao's first reaction after hearing this question was that it was too simple. He then blurted out, "There are 22 races of monster cards in total: Dragon, Magician, Warrior, Angel, Demon, Undead, Beast Warrior, Bird, Insect, Plant, Beast, Aqua, Rock, Mechanical, Psychic, Thunder, Fire, Phantom, Reptile, Sea Dragon, Fish, and Dinosaur."

After listening to Lin Hao's answer, Gao Hongliang nodded and said, "Well, that's good. It seems that Lin Hao has a relatively in-depth understanding of monster cards. Lin Hao, please sit down first. Pay attention to the lecture next time."

Lin Hao nodded and sat down.

Gao Hongliang continued, "Although our textbooks only list 21 different monster species, we've recently discovered a brand new one—the Psychokinetics. I don't know much about this species of monsters, as they're incredibly rare, and I've only heard about them in the news. But it's definitely a new species, and I expect it to appear in our textbooks soon. So, textbook knowledge is ultimately limited, so everyone should keep up with the news and current events when they have time."
