When Youye heard that, he immediately put on a disappointed, heartbroken expression.
"Since that's what you think, then... let's go!"
"I was going to show you what true swordsmanship was, let you become a Duel King, a King Level Duelist!"
"Ah, since you want to leave, it means we were fated to meet but not meant to be. I can only wait for the next destined person!"
Seeing Youye's disappointed and pained expression, Bai Yun'er realized she had said something wrong.
Rumor had it that Heaven-level and King Level Duelists liked to play around in the mortal world. The Youye before her might just be one of them. If she missed this chance, it would be the greatest loss of her life!
To be safe, she immediately bowed.
"Of course I believe you, Senior, but the Tenyi Swordsoul you mentioned is truly hard to believe!"
"How about... you duel me? If you can defeat me easily, I'll believe what you said!"
After saying that, she lowered her head and waited for Youye's answer.
Youye looked at Bai Yun'er, who had lowered her head, and the corners of his mouth split into a smile. What did he fear most? That people would simply leave without giving him a chance to show off.
As long as he had a chance to perform, this customer, Bai Yun'er, would not get away!
However, he did not agree right away. He put on a thoughtful expression, and only after a long while did he look helpless and regretful at wasting talent.
"Fine, fine!"
"It would be such a pity for a King-tier Seed to vanish like this. I'll give you this chance!"
After saying that, Youye walked over to the computer in the shop and said slowly, "Pick any device. I'll duel you first and let you see my strength."
"Huh? We're doing it on Master Duel?"
Bai Yun'er, who had been about to take out her Folding Duel Disk, looked utterly bewildered.
Among the many Earth-level Duel Masters she had encountered, they had all used cards to duel in person. This was her first time seeing someone use Master Duel.
"What? The Dueling Rules in Master Duel are the same as our usual Dueling Rules. Is there something wrong with that?"
Youye looked at her with a calm gaze and asked in return. That was what he said, anyway.
For a Physical Card Duel, he did not even have a full forty-card deck. How was he supposed to duel physically?
So why use Master Duel? That was simple!
As long as you knew all the information about a card and the Dueling Rules acknowledged that card's existence, you could recreate it in Master Duel and use it.
The banlist in this world was not something people were allowed to know. If they did know, then even cards forbidden in his previous life could be recreated in Master Duel. Because of that, Youye's Master Duel Card Pool was nearly complete, and he even had peak Ishizu Tearlaments.
It was also for this reason that ever since he had gained access to Master Duel at sixteen, he had always been ranked first in Master Duel. And he had done it using the simple, brainless Numeron deck; he could not even bear to use Tenyi Spirit - Sahasrara.
"That's true."
Bai Yun'er thought about it and felt that Youye did have a point. Generally speaking, if a card existed in Master Duel, it definitely existed as a physical card as well.
She sat down at the computer beside Youye and began logging in.
Youye also logged in, naturally using an alt account. His main account was too eye-catching and would make him seem less believable. In comparison, an alt account deliberately set to the right rank was perfect.
After Bai Yun'er logged in, she looked over at Youye's screen and saw his rank—Platinum III!
Her brows rose slightly at that rank. Youye's rank was not low. Most Earth-level Duelists known as Duel Masters were in Platinum Rank, while Mystic-level Duelists could at most reach Platinum V and absolutely could not make it to Platinum III.
But it was not particularly high either. Most powerful Earth-level Duelists hovered around Diamond Rank, and a few could even challenge Diamond II or III.
From that, she could tell that Youye was an Earth-level Duel Master, and not a particularly strong one at that. It disappointed her somewhat. With her family's help, no fewer than twenty, perhaps even fifty, Earth-level Duelists had helped her revise her deck builds, but none of it had worked.
An average Earth-level Duelist claiming he had found a Heaven-level King-tier Seed... The bragging was so outrageous she could practically see the cows flying in the sky.
Still, if an Earth-level Duelist was willing to sincerely teach a Yellow-level Duelist like her, it would be worth 999999.
Youye acted as if he had not noticed anything and began inviting Bai Yun'er to duel. Then he said, "For the first round, we'll set the duel to 4000 LP—normally it's 8000 LP. I'll use any deck to duel you, then you can watch me use Tenyi Swordsoul for one ranked match. Is that okay?"
"I have no problem with that... But for the second round, you're going to use Tenyi Swordsoul in ranked? And at Platinum III, too?"
Bai Yun'er looked at Youye in utter surprise.
Master Duel was governed by Dueling Rules, so there was no such thing as having someone else rank up for you. Every win and loss was extremely important!
Youye was using her Tenyi Swordsoul to play ranked. Clearly, he was prepared to lose just to demonstrate the strength of that deck to her. She was somewhat touched.
"It's no big deal. Just watch carefully when the time comes. For the first round, let's begin. You go first and let me see how far you've mastered Swordsoul!"
Youye waved his hand indifferently.
As far as Master Duel was concerned, if he wanted to lose, he had to go easy. Otherwise, he truly could not lose!
"Alright!"
Bai Yun'er nodded seriously. Even for her, a Yellow-level Duelist, getting an Earth-level Duelist as a sparring partner was an opportunity her family only provided once a month.
"Then let's begin!"
Youye nodded, glanced at the deck box, and chose Beginner Beating Dragon Fist to start the duel.
Youye (4000 LP) vs Bai Yun'er (4000 LP) Bai Yun'er goes first. Both sides draw five cards. The duel begins!
"I activate the Spell Swordsoul Emergence from my hand. With its effect, I can add a card from the Swordsoul Archetype in my deck to my hand. I choose Swordsoul Strategist - Longyuan!"
"Swordsoul Strategist - Longyuan's effect: I can activate it by discarding a Swordsoul Archetype card or Wyrm-Type monster other than itself. I choose to discard Swordsoul Strategist - Mo Ye from my hand!"
"Through Longyuan's effect, I Special Summon it in Attack Position, then summon a Level 4 Wyrm-Type Tuner Token with 0 ATK and 0 DEF!"
"Next, I offer Longyuan and the Token as tributes. Come forth, the glory of the Bai family, our family's strongest ace!"
"Tribute Summon, Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
Following Bai Yun'er's voice, Blue-Eyes White Dragon appeared on her Master Duel field.
Youye: ???
Even with Pure Swordsoul, Swordsoul Emergence plus Mo Ye was such an absurdly good hand that card players from his previous life could close their eyes and casually make an 8 plus 10 board, right?
But what did she do? She smoothly searched and Special Summoned, then used the noblest Tribute Summon to summon a 3000-ATK Normal Monster—Blue-Eyes White Dragon!?
For a moment, Youye stood frozen in place. There was no helping it—any normal Duelist who saw that scene would be shocked!
