YM778.TV Chapter 169
Inside the dueling hall, there will be several dueling arenas.
And at the both end of the dueling arenas are players platforms or contestant platforms
The areas in the center of the arenas will sometimes be referred to as fields.

"Beep beep!"
Dark, who managed to help Dianna regain her fighting spirit, stepped onto the red-side contestant platform under the urging of Professor Jones\' whistle.
He put the readjusted deck in the card slot and glanced down slightly.
Unsurprisingly, the students gathered around the No. 1 dueling arena were mostly from Noble House.
Dark and Dianna were both representatives of Noble House, but unfortunately entered the internal war in the first round of the winner\'s group.
However, regardless of whether it was an internal war or an external war, it had little effect on Dark.
[Preparation Phase]
"I\'m going to draw a card!"
Dianna\'s voice was heard from the loud speaker on the opposite side, full of energy!
Dark nodded slightly and responded, "Get ready!"
[30s]
A war-like atmosphere descended on both sides as they prepared for battle.
Dark concentrated immediately.
What he said to Dianna wasn\'t a lie, and it wasn\'t just to comfort her. Her deck was indeed very strong.
Whether it was [Gaia Bear] or [Bear Spirit], they were magical spirit cards with great versatility!
Moreover, she also had a [Bear\'s Power]!
When the number of cards in her deck was not a lot, the probability of her drawing these key cards would be very high.
Dark was likely to suffer defeat with just a small mistake!
After calming down, Dark stretched out his hand and drew five cards from the top of the shuffled deck rapidly.

"....."
How am I supposed to battle without a single magical spirit?
Dark\'s face darkened in an instant.
...
Thirty meters away.
Dianna couldn\'t see Dark\'s face clearly.
She drew five magic cards at her own pace and was overjoyed.
Among all her magic cards, the most important cards were three bear cards and a [Bear\'s Power].
The rest of the magical spirit cards were basically trash cards.
They were used just to fill up the card deck.
After all, if she didn\'t even have five cards in her hand, there was no point for her to play the game anymore.
And this time.
Her luck was off the charts.
Among the five magic cards, there was a [Bear Spirit]!
She had a total of two 3-star magical spirit cards in her deck.
[Bear Spirit] was one of them.
The other was a white card named [White Female Boxer] which she did not have in her hand right now.
However, in the initial round, just [Bear Spirit] was enough!
Not to mention that she also had [Bear\'s Power] in her hand!
[Bear Spirit]+[Bear\'s Power] could increase the power of Bear Spirit by an additional 300 attack stats for each star rank of the card. So its 1700 base attack stats would be up by an additional 900 points, which would be a full 2600 attack stats!
This even broke the limit of the five-star card!
Without a doubt, this was the most aggressive card combination in Dianna\'s deck!
And now, she already had these two magic cards in the first round!
...
[Battle Phase][30s]
...
Dark was still hesitant.
But Dianna did not hesitate to start summoning [Bear Spirit]!
The light in the arena seemed to collapse inward and a bright light gradually expanded in the middle of the collapsed area..
The three-meter-high giant bear walked out of the light under the gaze of countless eyes.
Its expression was wise and kind, like an old man who would tell stories to children in the backyard.
...
"Dianna actually summoned this Bear Spirit in the first round?"
Outside the arena, White, who had chosen to watch the duel, couldn\'t help but be stunned.
This Bear Spirit that broke the charm of [Forbidden Love] just by relying on the so-called "Bond", had left a deep impression on him.
With up to 1700 points of attack and racial characteristics that were almost immune to physical attacks, it was the absolute nemesis of [Troll] even if it was just based on the card stats alone!
To beat Bear Spirit, he could only rely on [Radiant Python]\'s ultimate - "Holy Light".
It could be said that his deck was already surpassed by Dianna in strength!
"I wonder how Dark will respond?"
White looked towards the red contestant\'s summoning area.
With Dark\'s fast summoning speed, he should have summoned the magical spirit faster than Dianna.
But at this time, the red summoning area was empty.
"What happened?"
...
The same question appeared in everyone\'s mind.
The first year students probably wouldn’t have this trouble at all.
Because they didn\'t have more than five non-magical spirit cards at all!
So for a while, they couldn\'t imagine that Dark didn\'t draw any magical spirit cards!
Professor Jones, who was the referee, couldn\'t help but chuckle.
What should players do if they didn’t draw any magical spirit cards in the starting round?
——This would be a subject that would be taught in the next semester.
Since some people\'s learning progress was ahead of schedule, they would naturally encounter the problem ahead of time.
"How will he respond?"
...
On the red player’s platform, Dark had regained his composure after the initial shock.
"A round will last 30 seconds, I must find a way to survive these 30 seconds!"
"Dianna\'s summoning speed is within ten seconds, but not much faster than ten seconds. The cooldown of the summoning spell is basically the same as her summoning time. Therefore, she can only summon again after about 20 seconds at the beginning of the game."
"It is not possible to complete the second summon until the time of the first round is about to end, and then there will be a cooling time of nearly ten seconds."
"That is to say."
"All I need to face is two summons."
Dark used every minute and second of the [Preparation Phase] to think.
At the beginning of the [Battle Phase], he actually made some moves.
Dianna started to summon [Bear Spirit], which took less than 10 seconds.
Bear Spirit was very powerful. However, it didn\'t matter to Dark no matter what she summoned.
...
"Go, Bear Spirit!"
Dianna wasn\'t bewildered by the fact that Dark didn\'t summon a magical spirit.
"Since it is Dark, there must be a reason for doing this."
Based on trust, she launched the attack without hesitation!
The Bear Spirit, which appeared like a small hill, spread its limbs and ran across the field!
As an energy body, Bear Spirit was almost immune to physical attack. However, it could still come into contact with objects, which made it different from a ghost.
It was just that a pure physical attack against its body would not cause substantial damage to it.
This was similar to an element-type magical spirit!
...
"Hit!"
When Bear Spirit was about to jump over half of the field, a 1 cubic meter air brick suddenly appeared directly in front of it!
"It\'s an Obstruction spell!"
Some students immediately realized the origin of the air brick.
However, the strength of this obstruction spell was obviously not enough.
"BOOM!"
In a loud bang, the air brick was instantly smashed by Bear Spirit!
Dianna was full of fighting spirit: "If it\'s just the Obstruction spell, it won’t be able to stop my bear!"
The Obstruction spell simply blocked Bear Spirit for a few seconds, slowing it down.
Dark lowered his head and picked out the second magic card from his hand.
Bear Spirit picked up its speed again like a heavy-duty chariot.
In a few seconds, it would slam into the magic ball on the magic ball fiercely.
The outcome would be decided in an instant if the hit was successful.
"Rise!"
Just as the Bear Spirit\'s forehead almost hit the Magic Ball, the Magic Ball representing the red player flew upwards extremely abruptly!
