Welcome to the Duelist Arena!

"Condor?!"

In the audience, DM area, Jonouchi and others looked at Kongmao in astonishment, and Kongmao was also at a loss. The Kaito in the ARC-V world actually has cards from the Condor series?

"Is Upgrade Magic also a series?"

The people in the ZEXAL area were even more surprised by this. If they chose this series, would all the cards opened in the enhanced card pack be Upgrade Magic? But if you think about it carefully, it seems that most of the Upgrade Magic have restrictions on material monsters or special summoned monsters, so it doesn't seem to be a good thing to have all Upgrade Magic.

Amagi Kaito fell into deep thought. Condor, Double, Upgrade Magic, etc., don't need to be considered. As for the remaining Galaxy, Galaxy Eyes and Light Wave, only the Light Wave series runs through his deck from beginning to end. Galaxy and Galaxy Eyes are just subsidiary series of XYZ monsters, at least for him, so, as expected, he should continue to strengthen the Light Wave series.

"I choose the Light Wave series."

"Well, Light Wave, it's not impossible for you to choose this, but I'll explain in advance that there are not many Light Wave series cards in my knowledge. If you choose this series, you will definitely draw the cards you already have from the enhanced card pack. Is this okay?"

Hearing this, Amagi Kaito was also stunned. Aren't there many Light Wave series cards? This is really surprising, but if you choose cards from other series, there is no point in having only a few cards, so let's stick to the idea.

"No problem, even so, I choose the Light Wave series."

"Okay, then fulfill your wish."

Xingyuan waved his hand, and the card pack with Galaxy-Eyes Light Wave Dragon printed on the outer packaging appeared in front of Amagi Kaito.

Amagi Kaito caught the card pack, opened it, and looked at the five cards in front of him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Two Tier 9 XYZ/Effect Monster Galaxy-Eyes Lightwave Dragons, one Tier 9 XYZ/Effect Monster Hyper Galaxy-Eyes Lightwave Dragon, one Tier 8 XYZ/Effect Monster Galaxy-Eyes Lightwave Dragon, and one Quick-Play Magic Card Upgrade Magic - Lightwave Sublimation.

It seems that because there are not many Lightwave series cards, all the cards he got are useful. The number of Galaxy-Eyes Lightwave Dragons increased from two to three, and Hyper Galaxy-Eyes Lightwave Dragon also increased from one to two. In addition, a Quick-Play Magic version of Upgrade Magic - Lightwave Sublimation and two new cards Galaxy-Eyes Lightwave Dragon, he is not at a loss.

Chapter 315: Big Rewards, Warm-up for the Bad Luck Cup (Two-in-One)

"Then, the second reward, which is also one of the rewards you want most now, is the special ability, the duel of life and death. Using this ability, you can summon the Underworld Controller to the human world when the Underworld Controller is free, and let the Underworld Controller duel with you or your companions. If you and your companions can defeat the Underworld Controller in the duel, then the Underworld Controller must revive a person who died for reasons other than exhaustion of life according to your request. This ability has no limit on the number of times it can be used, that is, as long as you and your companions are strong enough, you can revive the person you want to revive an unlimited number of times."

"What?!" XN

Amagi Kaito was surprised, and everyone in the audience also showed a combination of surprise and surprise. Can even this type of ability be opened in the rewards of random duels?

Of course, Mizunotsuki and Master KD's expressions were a little wrong. Underworld Controller, why don't you just say Pharaoh?

At least there should be a Pharaoh among the Underworld Controllers in the DM and GX worlds. There is also a high possibility that there is a Pharaoh among the Underworld Controllers in the comic version of GX, 5DS, and ZEXAL, which are parallel worlds or continuation worlds, but there is no way to confirm it in the ARC-V and VRAINS worlds.

However, even if there is no way to confirm it, there should be no problem in the world view of the card king to take back the lives of the deceased from the hands of the Underworld Controller through a duel, but the chances of winning are a bit tricky.

Among the Underworld Controllers, although there are noobs like Abidas III who appeared in GX, such noobs should be just exceptions. Normally, the duel level of the Underworld Controller should be above the passing line, and there is also a terrifying existence like Wang Yang who can draw whatever he wants after completing all the plots of DM. If he directly encounters Wang Yang, Kaito and others in the ARC-V world will probably just type GG.

"However, before I give you this ability, I still need to remind you of one thing. There are many types of underworld controllers. After all, there are actually a lot of underworlds, so using this ability will also be very risky. If you encounter a underworld controller who is not easy to talk to, then as a condition for dueling with him, he is also likely to let the person dueling with him risk his life. You must remember this."

Amagi Kaito's face immediately became solemn, but he still nodded: "One life for one life, this is normal and fair."

"Well, it may be right to some extent, but the problem is that you may not be able to exchange one life for another. Among the underworld controllers, there are hell-level BOSS-level existences. In a duel, underworld controllers of that level can completely draw any card they want. If you encounter such an existence, then the chances of winning are slim."

Amagi Kaito froze, and the duelists in the audience generally showed expressions of disbelief. You can draw whatever card you want, unlimited and non-consuming flash card drawing? Are you kidding us? How could Amagi Kaito and the others beat an opponent of this level? This ability is just for Amagi Kaito and the others to die, right?

Mizu no Yue and Master KD started OMO. Sure enough, there is no way that among the controllers of the underworld, there is no Wang Xiang who can get whatever he wants. However, with Wang Xiang's character, it should not be too difficult for A5 Douzi. Brother and the others, right?

"Of course, it's not all bad news. At least those who control the underworld at that level are generally quite easy to talk to. Although adhering to the style of 'the living return to the living and the dead return to the dead', they won't let you take it back easily from them. The lives of those who have passed away, and with the proud souls of duelists, they will try their best in every duel, but if you lose the duel against them, your lives will not be in danger. , as long as you don’t go too far, such as using unnecessary psychological tactics, using unfair tactics of bullying and wheel fighting, or summoning the same ruler of the underworld to the human world many times in one day. Like that, as long as you don’t do that, there shouldn’t be any problem.”

Saying that, Hoshihara also glanced at Yami Yugi in the audience, "The living will return to the living, and the dead will return to the dead." This is not only Atum's acting style, but also the plot tone of the original DM world, right? Mr. Takahashi in the OCG world generally creates works based on this idea.

But since it is a new world born after changes to the original world, there is no need to forcefully follow that tone. At most, a tribute is enough. After all, a happy ending is the most accepted direction by the public, right? Although the happy ending is not easy to be a classic and is the most common, since it is a change based on the classic, it is natural to move towards a better ending.

"In other words, as long as it's a fair duel, it'll be fine!"

Amagi Kaito breathed a sigh of relief. If this was the case, their lives should still be guaranteed, and they would not randomly bump into an underworld controller with a hell difficulty BOSS level and then destroy the group.

The expressions of Minazuki and Master KD were a little subtle, because they both remembered the classic scene of ARC-V, the penalty for intrusion - 2000! If Hoshihara had not explained this in advance, people in the ARC-V world might have used wheel warfare against the ruler of the underworld, right? If that happens, it's not impossible to successfully anger Wang Xiang and then destroy the team.

"It can be said that, then, this ability will be left to you. Whether there will be any accidents due to your misuse of the ability is completely none of my business."

After saying that, Hoshihara took out another light ball and threw it to Amagi Kaito, and Amagi Kaito directly absorbed the light ball into his body without hesitation.

"Finally, it's a choice between two. The development of the XYZ dimension under the original destiny, and a chance to avoid special punishment. You can choose one of them."

Amagi Kaito frowned slightly, was it the development of the XYZ dimension under the original destiny? This piece of information seems meaningless. After all, the culprit, King Akama Reiji, has been imprisoned by Akama Reiji. Yudou and the others' experiences are completely different. Coupled with the abilities they just gained, It seems that there is no need to choose this piece of information. So...

"So, Mr. Hoshihara, if I choose to be exempted from the special punishment, can I directly exempt Marufuji and Jim from the special punishment that they will receive?"

"Exempt us from special punishment?"

"What?"

"Hmph! After all, it is a victory that I picked up. I am very satisfied with the opportunity to resurrect my family and companions. I will give the extra rewards to you."

Ryo Marufuji and Jim looked at each other, both speechless, but they also remembered Kaito Amagi's kindness. After all, they had all heard of the horror of special punishment.

Kurosaki Hayabusa: ...Good brother, why can’t you get this reward one round earlier? Ah, you didn't come in before the round, then it's okay (depression).

"Well, considering that the two of them are tied after all, there is no problem if they share it once, but do you really want to use this reward on them?"

"certainly."

"Okay, then, your rewards are handed out like this. Then, it's the turn of Marufuji Ryo-san and Jim-san. Because of the mercy of Amagi Kaito-san, your special punishment is directly exempted, so you just have to It's enough to accept the consolation rewards. There are also Maura Mai, Masaki Kyoko, Kujiu Yuma, Astral, Kamishiro Ryouga and others in the audience. I accidentally forgot your consolation rewards before. Let's go together now. Make up.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xingyuan waved his hand and started the card pack distribution.

Everyone in the audience looked at each other in confusion. They felt that something was missing. It turned out to be a consolation reward for the loser, and it really had no sense of existence.

While sighing, several people opened the enhanced card pack one after another and got three cards.

Ryo Marufuji: Effect Monster Attached Electronic Wing, Link/Effect Monster Cyber ​​Dragon Triumph, Normal Trap Electronic Revolution.

Gim: Effect Monster Fossil Dinosaur Pachycephalosaurus (OCG Version), Effect Monster Primitive Life Form Nibiru, Normal Trap Stone Attack.

Peacock Dance: Synchro/Effect Monster Condor Girl Claw Severed, Field Magic Amazon Village, Continuous Trap Amazon Rush.

Masaki Kyoko: Effect Monster Black Magician Girl, XYZ/Effect Monster Magic Magic☆Magician Girl, Quick Attack Magic Unity UNITY.

Yuma/Astral: XYZ/Effect Monster General Brush Lala, Counter Trap Numbered Protection, Effect Monster Starlight Chestnut Ball.

Ryoga: XYZ/Effect Monster Vigilante Shark Lancer, Effect Monster Deep Shark, Normal Trap XYZ Resurrection Splash.

It seems that because Xingyuan had forgotten the consolation reward before, the cards that the defeated duelists opened from the enhanced card pack Xiaocong were quite good, basically all the cards they wanted, and even Xingzi opened three cards that were of great significance to her.

However, looking at the cards in his hand, Jim fell into deep thought.

‘Fossil dinosaur Pachycephalosaurus, and primitive life form Nibiru, did I open something extraordinary? ’

When Jim couldn't help thinking about it, Xingyuan waved his hand to teleport all the duelists on the duel field back to the audience seats, and spoke again.

"Okay, the rewards and punishments that should be issued have been completed. According to the previously determined order, we will enter the first special cup competition of the duelist arena! As for the theme of this special cup competition, it is the bad luck cup! Duelists who want to sign up for the competition should sign up as soon as possible. There is no special space and extra time for you to adjust your deck this time. Therefore, adjusting the deck in a short time is also a part of your test. Of course, making reasonable use of the remaining exchange points can also greatly increase your chances of winning! Then, the timer starts. In half an hour, the bad luck competition will officially begin. Come on, duelists!"

Along with Xingyuan's evil laughter, a countdown of one and a half hours appeared on the big screen.

In the audience, no matter which area, the duelists generally looked serious and solemn. After all, the theme of the bad luck cup does not sound easy to deal with, but the rewards of the special cup competition are one level higher than those of the ring challenge competition. In addition, there is no entry threshold at all, which makes them know that it is troublesome but still can't give up casually.

"I'm actually in the Bad Luck Cup right at the start. Is my luck too bad?"

Jounouchi applied for a floating table with a bitter face, spread out his deck, and picked out all the gambling cards left in his deck one by one. It doesn't matter if he uses a gambling card with a high return in normal times, but in a special duel like the Bad Luck Cup, the duelist's luck is completely eliminated, and even a certain amount of bad luck is added. If he continues to use gambling cards, he will only be pitted to death. Jonouchi, who has not completely thrown his brain away, naturally thought of that possibility, and then reluctantly began to remove gambling cards from the deck.

"Hmph! Luck is meaningless in a place like the arena!"

Kaiba reflexively said a few words, and then looked at the three Blue-Eyes White Dragons in his hand and felt a toothache.

Bad Luck Cup, if he guessed correctly, it should not only be the duelist's own luck that was eliminated, but also the bond between the duelist and the deck, otherwise the addition of bad luck would be meaningless.

But if that's the case, he will have trouble adding three Blue-Eyes White Dragons to his deck. After all, there are quite a few high-level monsters in his deck. Under the influence of bad luck, he might start with a high star, and directly start with a 40-star or higher monster and then be eliminated.

Jonouchi rolled his eyes and was too lazy to talk nonsense with Kaiba. If luck is really meaningless in the Duelist Arena, then there won't be a special theme like the Bad Luck Cup, right?

On the side, Peacock Dance directly applied for a pair of noise-isolating headphones for herself, and then continued to struggle while looking at her deck.

Amazon series, and Harpie series, she brought both series of decks with her. Which series of decks should she use to participate in this special cup competition? The synchro monsters of the Harpie series that she just got seem to be very strong, but the Amazon series directly got two matching cards, which is tangled.

On the other side, Yami Yugi and Biao Yugi were also looking at the cards on the table and were extremely entangled. Normally, they should temporarily remove cards like Dark Knight Gaia that have no supporting cards from the deck, but every card in the deck is full of ties with them, so how can they start?

Chapter 316 Summary, Perfect Hand, Bad Luck Cup First Game (Two-in-One)

Except for the duelists, ordinary spectators generally stayed away from the duelists temporarily. After all, ordinary spectators cannot participate in the competition. In order to avoid being affected when the duelists adjust their decks, it is better not to get close even if they do not plan to chat.

However, in the distance, Rebecca sighed silently. The Special Cup Competition, she also wanted to have the opportunity to realize her wish. More importantly, she could have another duel with Darling. She was so happy, okay? But who made her live in the United States? She couldn't keep in touch with Darling all the time, so naturally she couldn't be pulled in in the shortest time. Now she can enter as an ordinary spectator, which is good enough. At least she can ensure that she can enter the next round of arena activities as a duelist, right?

In the GX area, looking at his deck, Judai couldn't help scratching his head.

How should he adjust the deck? If it was before he got the new powers such as the new space man and the new space man, he only needed to reduce the magic and trap cards in the deck. After all, he only had about 20 monster cards in total, at least not counting the extra deck, so it was not difficult for him to adjust the deck, but now that he has added new powers, he doesn't know how to adjust it better.

On the side, Manjomu also fell into deep thought. He didn't know that his deck had too many mixed series, such as Armed Dragon, VWXYZ, Disruption, and Duel Monsters with 0 attack power. Now he found that his deck had too many mixed series. Although there were interconnected cooperation cards between the first three series, it was obviously difficult to draw key cards in this mode. So, how should he adjust it?

In the case of Caesar, he didn't try to get the electric flow deck, so he didn't need to adjust too much. After all, the stability of his deck was not bad. However, because the card drawing ability he had practiced hard was now in a sealed state, the influence of luck would be reduced and bad luck would be added in the Bad Luck Cup mode, so he decided to remove the somewhat meaningless card such as Perfect Machine King from the deck, and the number of pure alliance monsters such as Metallic Parasite-Moon Clothes and Strengthened Support Machinery Heavy Weapons also needed to be temporarily reduced.

Of course, there is also the need to use the exchange shop reasonably. At present, duelists other than KD Master and Jonouchi still have a lot of exchange points. Although some duelists want to save the exchange points and directly exchange them for SR cards or UR cards, most duelists still adhere to the idea that "it's meaningless if you don't use it when you should", and exchange cards from the exchange shop.

Well, here is a summary of the number of exchange points before the start of this round.

DM area: Table/Dark Yugi 300 points, Jonouchi 0 points, Kaiba 1200 points, Peacock Dance 1700 points.

Why is the difference in number so big? There is no way. In order to support Peacock Dance, Jonouchi lost all the exchange points in the duel between Peacock Dance and Anzi. Dark Yugi and Kaiba also lost 200 points in that game. On the contrary, Peacock Dance successfully retained all the exchange points because she couldn't bet when she was on the field.

Then when Mizunotsuki and Yami Yugi came on the field, out of trust in Yami Yugi, Mamoru Konoha bet 400 points, Kaiba chose to go all in, Jonouchi also wanted to go all in but unfortunately he didn't have any exchange points left, and Yami Yugi himself couldn't bet, so only Kaiba and Mamoru Konoha bet on the exchange points that became four times the original.

Then in the last game, because of insufficient intelligence, they didn't bet easily, so the result turned out to be this.

GX area: Judai 500 points, Manjome 200 points, Caesar 200 points, Jim 500 points, John 200 points.

Parallel GX area: Yuki Judai 500 points, Manjome 200 points, Marufuji Ryo 300 points, Hibiki Midori 200 points.

Well, the duelists in the GX and Parallel GX regions don't have many exchange points. There's nothing they can do about it. The third random duel ended in a three-way melee, and Amagi Kaito won. Duelists in these two worlds also generally bet 300 to 500 exchange points on their companions for cost-effectiveness. So, apart from Jim himself, who played in person, only the two Judai who bet big on the game as fans still have more exchange points.

As for Marufuji Ryo? Although he played like Jim, he also used exchange points to exchange cards in the special space, so he only had 300 points left.

5DS region: Yusei 1300 points, Jack 1000 points, Crow 1000 points, Qiu 1000 points, Paradox 700 points.

Because of the victory of Paradox and Ryuya, Mizunotsuki and Yami Yugi, the duelists in the 5DS area obviously made money. After all, they guessed correctly twice in a row. That is, the other game they met in the past time and space left a deep impression on Yusei, which led Yusei to believe Mizunotsuki and not dare to bet too many exchange points, otherwise he might have earned more.

As for the third game, there is nothing to say. The duelists on the field are not familiar with each other and the information is insufficient, so they naturally did not bet.

ZEXAL area: Astral/Yuma 700 points, Ryoga 700 points, Kaito 500 points, IV 500 points.

There is nothing to say about this side. No bets were made in the first game. In the second game, Mizunotsuki and Yami Yugi won, causing Kaito and IV to lose 200 points. In the third game, everyone bet 200 points on Kaito Amagi and won without any effort.

ARC-V area: Yuya 1400 points, Rei 1850 points, Yuto 1600 points, Kurosaki Hayabusa 1600 points, Amagi Kaito 500 points, Sawatari 1100 points, Serena 1100 points.

Obviously, due to Amagi Kaito's easy win, everyone except Amagi Kaito himself made money, the only difference is how much they made. After all, Rei specially analyzed the cost-effectiveness before using the exchange points, so everyone who did not bet in the first two games took action in this game.

Yuya bet 300 points, Rei cleverly bet 450 points, Sawatari and Serena were not familiar with Amagi Kaito and had never seen Amagi Kaito's duel, so they only bet 200 points. This also led to Sawatari's regret after the result came out. Why didn't he completely believe Rei's words? Obviously, as long as the exchange points were below 1000, there would be no difference between 50 points and 300 points.

It is obvious that Yuto and Kurosaki Hayabusa unconditionally believe in and support Amagi Kaito and choose to go all-in, which is because Yuma lost 100 points before, otherwise their points should be able to reach 2000 points.

VRAINS area: Ai/Yusaku 500 points, Revolver 500 points, Zaizen Aoi 500 points, Zaizen Akira 500 points, Kusanagi 500 points, and Revenant 500 points.

Ahem, this round, the VRAINS area is directly bye, and they are more cautious about the use of exchange points, so, um, no change.

OCG area: Mizunotsuki 200 points, KD Master 0 points.

Well, Mizunotsuki lost 100 points because of his trust in Jodaozai's good transportation, so naturally he didn't bet casually in the third game, and then used 200 points for the XYZ stacking delay of the R card, so there were only 200 points left. As Master KD entered the game this round, he didn't even have any exchange points.

Okay, let's go back to adjusting the deck.

There are still two people left in the GX area. After careful consideration, Jim decisively added the fossil dinosaur Pachycephalosaurus, the primitive life form Nibiru and the stone attack to the deck, while John was looking at the seven monster cards in the whole deck and the low prices in the exchange shop and fell into deep thought.

In the 5DS area, Paradox simply gave up participating in this special cup. Well, he was also the only duelist who gave up participating in this special cup competition.

There was no way, Yusei also wanted to participate. Even if he wanted to borrow Stardust Dragon, it would be impossible, so it would be better to support Yusei with all the Stardust series cards he got, so that Yusei could get better results.

As for decks other than the Sin deck, Paradox did have them, and he could even ask ZONE to help him get many kinds. However, he had not personally experienced the rewards of the arena, so he still had doubts about the rewards. Therefore, he did not think of preparing other decks before this round, which led to the current result that made him feel regretful.

There was nothing much to say about Yusei, Jack, Crow, and Qiu. The stability of their decks was not low. Except for Yusei who needed to deliberately eliminate some cards, the decks of others seemed to be fine for participating in the competition.

The remaining ZEXAL area, ARC-V area, VRAINS area, and OCG area will not be introduced one by one. There is no point in introducing them all the time. Let's use the duel to see the real tricks.

"That's it! The half-hour countdown is finally over. The first special cup competition of the Duelist Arena, the Bad Luck Cup, is about to begin! In this Bad Luck Cup, only one of the thirty-seven official duelists present did not participate, and a total of thirty-six people participated! Therefore, there will be three rounds of eliminations, and in the third round of eliminations, a bye player will be eligible to challenge one of the four winners once. The winner will join the semi-finals, and the loser will be eliminated directly! There is no need to say more about the final semi-finals and finals. Now let's watch a video called "Perfect Hands", and then start to randomly assign candidates! In short, I hope that all duelists will not have such a "perfect hand" situation!"

As the host with the airplane head spoke, new images began to appear on the big screen, making the duelists generally confused. Perfect hands?

And Mizunotsuki and Master KD were obviously exceptions. Perfect hands, just hearing this name, they couldn't help but smile.

"Duel!!" X2

With two powerful voices, two duelists appeared on the big screen. Everyone in the VRAINS area recognized that the virtual image of one of them was the standard image of an ordinary Hanno knight, while the other one looked familiar to Yusaku and Aoi Zaizen?

'This... this is! Three level 5 and level 10 cards... basically a hand jam accident! '

'Hey! There are actually five level 7 cards! This is a hand jam accident! '

Then, the audience saw the cards of both parties and heard the voices of both parties. They couldn't help but be stunned. Both parties jammed their hands? These two should not have their luck reduced and bad luck added, right? This situation also occurred at the same time in an ordinary duel. Could it be that these two newbies?

Of course, Mizunotsuki and KD Master didn't have such an idea. For the card masters in the OCG world, no matter how strong the card masters are, they may have a hand jam, so they are used to it.

Then, under the gaze of the audience, the two duelists on the big screen noticed that their opponents were looking at them, so after a slight pause, they both smiled confidently and said the famous line in unison.

"Perfect hand!" X2
