"Thanks," Youye said with a smiling nod, his heart filled with curiosity about Bai Yun'er's father. Setting aside the hidden test, whether he accepted the duel or not, the gesture of giving cards and a Duel Disk showed remarkable generosity.
He had to admit, it was hard to dislike someone like that, though he wouldn't let his guard down.
As for the possibility of card information leaking through their Duel Disk, that wasn't a concern. All card information was protected by the Dueling Rules. Unless a Duelist chose to reveal it themselves, the manufacturers of Duel Disks only sold them for their appearance, portability, and other features.
"Could you wait a moment? I need to adjust my Deck," Youye said, taking out his card box and looking apologetically at Wuping.
"Of course," Wuping nodded respectfully, then quietly returned to stand behind Bai Yun'er.
"Aunt Ping, what's going on? Did Father say something?"
Bai Yun'er looked at Wuping with a hint of displeasure. Youye was an elder who had helped her modify her Deck. After she told her father, he said he would thank him properly, so why was he testing him now?
However, her good upbringing prevented her from having an outburst or questioning her directly. She just asked quietly on the side.
"Miss, the thanks will definitely be given. The Master has his own considerations," Wuping replied respectfully, but she didn't say a word about what Bai Yun'er's father had said.
"Alright. Try not to lose too badly. In a way, you represent my father and our family," Bai Yun'er nodded and reminded her.
As for why she didn't remind Youye? The reason was simple. Although Wuping was a relatively strong Profound-level Duelist and had few opponents among ordinary Duelists, unfortunately, her opponent was Youye, a Duelist even her father couldn't see through. It wouldn't be strange for someone like him to pull out anything!
"Thank you for the reminder, Miss," Wuping nodded, looking at Youye with a serious expression.
The Master had specifically reminded her before he came to use her full strength. Youye might be someone the Bai Family, or even some stronger families, needed to win over. His strength and wisdom were definitely far beyond ordinary people!
Half an hour later, Youye finished configuring his Deck. Looking at the completed Deck Build, Youye showed a satisfied smile.
Since his Archetype cards for Tearlaments were stuck and he didn't know when he would get them, all the specified cards he had acquired in the past four years were used to obtain generic or extra cards. One reason was that it would be easier to sell the cards if he absolutely had to, and the other was that he could slowly collect a Deck and use it without being fixated on Tearlaments.
"Let's begin!" Although Youye had never used a Duel Disk before, having transmigrated for ten years, he naturally knew how to use one. So, he put his Deck into the Duel Disk and sent a duel request to Wuping.
"Okay, please teach me!" Wuping nodded, also unfolding her Duel Disk, and the duel began.
As the duel between the two began, Bai Yun'er and Sheng Ning stood together to watch. Because of this, she learned that Youye was using the 'Runick' Archetype he had just obtained. She was very curious about what kind of Deck it was that Sheng Ning had found so tormenting before.
Compared to Bai Yun'er, Sheng Ning and Munin, especially the latter, were more eager to know what cards Youye had just added. Was it his Tearlaments Archetype? Or something else?
Youye (8000 LP) vs Wuping (8000 LP)
Wuping chose to go first based on the Dueling Rules. Both players drew five cards, and the duel began.
Since Youye had no actions to take at this time, it was Wuping's Main Phase 1.
"I activate the Normal Spell in my hand, [Red-Eyes Insight]. By its effect, I send the Red-Eyes Archetype Monster [Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon] from my Deck to the Graveyard to activate it, adding one Red-Eyes Archetype Spell/Trap card from my Deck to my hand, other than [Red-Eyes Insight]. I choose [Red-Eyes Fusion]!"
"I activate [Red-Eyes Fusion]. By its effect, I send [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] and [Summoned Skull] from my Deck to the Graveyard to Fusion Summon [Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon]."
Roar!
As soon as Wuping finished speaking, a powerful Dragon-Type Monster appeared on her Field. Standing on two legs, breathing fire from its mouth, and covered in sharp bones, it let out a dragon's roar, and a pressure emanated from it, affecting everyone present.
[Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon] [Dragon-Type/Fusion/Effect/DARK/Level 9] [ATK: 3200; DEF: 2500]
"Oh? Red-Eyes Archetype? And she summoned such a strong boss monster so easily. Your Bai Family's servants are really strong!"
Feeling the pressure from Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, Sheng Ning's face showed some dissatisfaction. Wuping knew that Youye was dueling with physical cards for the first time, yet she started with such a powerful boss monster as a Red-Eyes Archetype extra. If it were a beginner, they would probably just surrender, right?
"Sister Sheng, Aunt Ping is facing an elder. If she couldn't do this much, it would be looking down on the elder a bit."
Bai Yun'er wasn't worried. After Youye's guidance, she returned to her family and used the Deck Build he gave her to achieve a crushing twenty-game winning streak in Master Duel, jumping from Bronze to Silver.
An elder who could provide such a Deck Build, after obtaining an Archetype that could form a Deck, his strength was definitely not something Wuping could compare to.
"Little Bai is right. Think about Youye's strength and what Archetype he's using. Will he lose? How could he lose?" Munin seemed unaffected, looking at Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon with a calm expression and a strange smile as she reminded them.
"That's true," Sheng Ning nodded, saying no more.
Indeed, she had personally experienced Youye's strength and the power of the Runick Archetype. Although the Red-Eyes Archetype was versatile, its strength wasn't very high. The possibility of Youye losing was practically zero.
However, at this moment, Youye was staring at the Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon in front of him, his attention completely focused on it, looking at the Monster with excitement.
Ten years! He was finally experiencing a duel in this world!
He had to say, card duels were completely different from Master Duel. The pressure emanating from the Spirit when it appeared in a physical card duel made him incredibly excited!
"Then I set two cards and end my turn!"
Wuping glanced at Youye, who was trembling all over. As a maid who had been in the Bai Family for decades and had seen all sorts of people, she naturally saw that Youye was trembling from excitement, not fear. So, after carefully setting two cards, she chose to end her turn.
"My turn, draw!" Youye placed his right hand on top of his Deck to draw a card. After looking at the card, he asked Wuping, "Anything during the Draw Phase or Standby Phase?"
"No, please proceed!" Wuping replied.
"Then it's my Main Phase 1. I activate the effect of the Normal Spell in my hand, [Upstart Goblin]. I draw one card, and you gain 1000 LP."
"I activate the effect of the Quick-Play Spell in my hand, [Runick Flurry of Fowling], to Special Summon a Monster, and then I enter the Self-Restriction of skipping my next Battle Phase!"
"Come forth, [Hugin the Runick Wings]!"
"By Hugin's effect when Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, I discard one card from my hand to add the Runick Field Spell [Runick Fountain] from my Deck to my hand, and then I activate Runick Fountain!"
"I activate the Quick-Play Spell in my hand, [Runick Golden Droplet]. You draw one, then Banish the top four cards of your Deck!"
"Besides drawing a card from your Deck during the Draw Phase, I activate the Quick-Play Spell, Runick Dispelling! You randomly discard one card from your hand to the Graveyard, then Banish the top two cards of your Deck!"
"Immediately after, due to the effect of Runick Fountain, after I activate a Runick Quick-Play Spell, I can return up to three Runick Quick-Play Spells from my Graveyard to my Deck in any order I choose, then draw cards equal to the number returned. I target Dispelling, Golden, and Flurry of Fowling!"
"As if! Chain Link 2, I chain to your Runick Fountain by activating the Trap Card Raigeki Break that I Set! I target your Field Spell, Runick Fountain, and destroy it!"
Hearing this effect, Wuping's face fell. She didn't hesitate to use the card she had Set on the Field!
"Oh no! Senior's Runick Fountain is a Field Spell. If it's destroyed, its effect will be nullified, and his resources will be cut off!"
Seeing this, Bai Yun'er, who had thought Youye's victory was within reach, subtly changed her expression.
Wuping also smiled. Youye hadn't chained, so the effect was resolving!
