Bai Yun'er fell silent as she looked at Chixiao standing proudly on Youye's field, wielding a crimson greatsword, wearing a ghost mask and black-red armor.
After a full half minute, she slowly opened the card archetype information.
Swordsoul Grandmaster - Chixiao (Archetype: Swordsoul)
"Senior, my Swordsoul Archetype has an Extra Deck Boss Monster!?"
After repeatedly confirming it, Bai Yun'er accepted this reality amid the turmoil in her heart.
She was dueling Youye in Master Duel. Master Duel governed the rules; even the legendary King Level Duelists could not interfere, let alone Earth-level Duelists!
Simply put, this was real! Her Swordsoul Archetype had a Level 10 Synchro boss monster!
Having accepted reality, she looked at Youye with an utterly strange expression.
Leaving aside the Bystial and Rokket Archetypes for now, she was ten thousand percent certain that no one had obtained cards from the Swordsoul Archetype before this!
So here was the question: even she did not know about Chixiao. How did Youye, standing before her, know about Chixiao? If he did not know its detailed information, he definitely could not have obtained it through Master Duel.
And Youye had already displayed three archetypes. Was a duelist like him really just an Earth-level Duelist? One had to know that obtaining additional archetypes was incredibly difficult for ordinary duelists, and powerful archetypes were even harder to obtain. Otherwise, she would not have had Blue-Eyes as her only choice.
Curious as she was, Bai Yun'er did not ask. As a core disciple of a dueling family, she naturally understood how foolish it was to pry into someone else's secrets.
"Do you believe me now?"
Youye naturally noticed the change in Bai Yun'er's eyes, and he was quite satisfied.
Among the Level 10 Synchros in his Beginner Beating Dragon Fist deck, there were naturally Twin Wings and the highly versatile Flowers besides Chixiao. But for the sake of impact, Chixiao was clearly more suitable in front of Bai Yun'er.
"I believe you!" Bai Yun'er answered without the slightest hesitation.
Three archetypes, and he could even use her Swordsoul Archetype, which had appeared for the first time. What reason did she have not to believe him?
"Alright, then let me tell you about Chixiao's three effects."
"First, this card's ATK and DEF increase by 100 for each banished card, while the ATK and DEF of monsters on your opponent's field decrease by 100 for each banished card!"
"Second, if this card would be destroyed by an effect, you can banish one card from your Graveyard instead!"
"Third, when a card is banished, you can activate this effect: banish one card each from your opponent's field and Graveyard!"
"The first Continuous Effect affects its stats. You can see that for yourself, so I won't explain it. The second effect substitutes for destruction, and it is not once per turn. In other words, as long as you have cards in your Graveyard, it is basically impossible to destroy it with effects. The third is once per turn per card name, does not target, and banishes regardless of position. It works wonders against cards that cannot be targeted. Ahem, I mean cards with that kind of protection!"
Youye began giving Bai Yun'er a simple explanation of Chixiao's effects.
"Wow, so strong! Is this the true boss monster of my Swordsoul Archetype!? I love it!"
After hearing Youye's explanation, Bai Yun'er's eyes lit up.
With just one banished card, it could surpass the Blue-Eyes White Dragon she had worked so hard to obtain as her overpowered ace, while also having protection against effect destruction and a banishing effect.
If she obtained it, becoming a Profound-level Duelist—no, even an Earth-level Duelist—would no longer be a dream!
"I know you love it, but hold off on that for now. This is only one sword among the Thirteen Swords. Let's finish the duel first."
Youye reminded Bai Yun'er as he watched her shining eyes.
This world was different from his previous life. Duelists in this world generally did not choose to surrender. To them, surrender was a disgrace, so even during the garbage time later in a duel, no one would concede.
"Okay."
Bai Yun'er suppressed the excitement in her heart and nodded expectantly.
Once the duel ended, she would be able to get the Tenyi Swordsoul deck list. If she could also learn how to use it, then after completing the deck, a powerful feeling told her that as long as she was not facing this senior before her, she would crush every duelist she had ever seen!
"I activate the effect of Bystial Baldrake in my hand, banishing the DARK Attribute Magna Dracon from my Graveyard to Special Summon it!"
"Since a card was banished, Chixiao's third effect can activate. I use Non-targeting Banish on your set Magic Cylinder in the Backrow and Mo Ye in your Graveyard."
Since Bai Yun'er had no means of stopping Chixiao's effect, Youye directly declared which cards he would banish.
As she watched one card from her field and one from her Graveyard get banished, while Chixiao's ATK rose by 200 and her Blue-Eyes' ATK fell by 200, the excitement on Bai Yun'er's face only grew at this critical moment.
This was the beauty of Chixiao's power!
"I Normal Summon Rokket Tracer, then enter the Battle Phase. Chixiao attacks Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" Youye declared his attack.
Chixiao ATK: 3400 vs. Blue-Eyes White Dragon ATK: 2600
Blue-Eyes White Dragon was destroyed by battle, and Bai Yun'er took 800 LP of damage. LP: 3200!
"I attack you directly with Baldrake and Tracer!"
Baldrake ATK: 2500; Rokket Tracer ATK: 1600;
Following Youye's declaration, Bai Yun'er's remaining 320 LP was directly reduced to zero by 2500 + 1600 damage.
"Senior, I want to summon Chixiao too!"
As soon as it ended, Bai Yun'er immediately looked at Youye, grabbed his left hand, and spoke with eager anticipation.
"If you want to obtain the cards, apologize properly to the Swordsoul spirits. Once you gain their approval, I think you'll be able to obtain the other two in-archetype boss monsters as well," Youye reminded her.
"Senior is right. If I had always valued the Swordsoul spirits, I would have realized long ago that Swordsoul was a Synchro-focused deck. It's all because I arrogantly thought obtaining high-Level Swordsoul Strategists and Swordsoul Dragons meant I had reached the end, so I gave up on the Swordsoul Archetype!"
"Once I return, I will apologize to every Swordsoul spirit one by one and show them my sincerity!"
Bai Yun'er clenched her fists, her eyes filled with self-reproach and regret.
"Not bad. You can be taught!" Seeing her like this, Youye nodded in satisfaction before changing the subject. "Do you want to learn the Tenyi Thirteen Swords now?"
"Please teach me, Senior. I want to learn the Tenyi Swordsoul Thirteen Swords!"
Bai Yun'er looked at Youye, stood up, and gave him a slight bow, speaking with utmost seriousness and devotion.
Chixiao was only one of the swords. It was easy to imagine just how powerful Tenyi Swordsoul was. Once she obtained it, she might reach a level no one in her family had ever achieved!
"Alright, pay up. I'll teach you the sword manual—the deck list—for the Tenyi Thirteen Swords first!"
Youye held out his hand and displayed his payment code.
"Alright, I'll pay you right away, Senior!" Bai Yun'er immediately took out her phone and was about to make the payment.
Just then, a woman in her early twenties wearing professional attire pushed open the door and entered. With one hand, she grabbed Bai Yun'er's hand and stopped her.
"Wait, little girl. You can't let him deceive you."
"My name is Sheng Ning, and I am a member of the Duel Inspectorate. Before you, several customers had already complained about him to our Inspector Bureau. They said he gave strange advice for modifying their decks, making the decks very powerful in his shop, but once they left, the cards either could not be found or were outrageously expensive."
"He uses these impossible-to-achieve methods to bully unknown newbies like you."
After speaking, Sheng Ning paused slightly. Her beautiful eyes glanced at Youye, who stood to the side with a calm expression as though he did not care what she said. She thought Youye was merely putting on a brave front and intended to keep deceiving people, so she continued to Bai Yun'er, "Little girl, he told you to fuse a card from some extremely rare or strange archetype, didn't he?"
Before you continue
