Bai Yun'er fell silent as she looked at Chengying on Youye's field, standing tall with a massive red sword in its hand, a demonic mask on its face, and clad in black and red armor.
After a full half-minute, she slowly clicked to view the card's effect text.
[Swordsoul Grandmaster - Chengying] (Archetype: Swordsoul)
"Senior, my Swordsoul archetype has an extra deck boss monster!?"
After repeatedly confirming, Bai Yun'er accepted this reality, her mind in turmoil.
She was dueling Youye in a Master Duel, which is governed by strict rules. Even Earth Level duelists, let alone the legendary King Level Duelists, couldn't interfere!
Simply put, this was real! Her Swordsoul archetype had a Level 10 Synchro White monster!
Having accepted the reality, she looked at Youye with a strange expression.
Setting aside the Bystial and Rokket archetypes for now, she was 100% certain that no one had obtained cards from the Swordsoul archetype before this.
So the question was, she didn't even know about Chengying; how did the Youye in front of her know about it? If he didn't have detailed information, he definitely couldn't have obtained it in a Master Duel.
Also, Youye had already shown three archetypes. Was a duelist like this truly 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 get. Otherwise, she wouldn't have only had Blue-Eyes as an option.
Curious as she was, Bai Yun'er didn't ask. As a core disciple of a dueling family, she naturally understood how foolish it was to pry into others' secrets.
"Do you believe what I said now?"
Youye naturally noticed the change in Bai Yun'er's eyes and was quite satisfied.
Among the Level 10 White monsters in his deck for dominating weaker opponents, besides Chengying, there were naturally Two Wings and the highly versatile Baronne. However, for the sake of dramatic effect, Chengying was definitely more suitable to show Bai Yun'er.
"I believe you!" Bai Yun'er answered without hesitation.
With three archetypes, and the ability to use her Swordsoul archetype which was appearing for the first time, what reason did she have not to believe?
"Alright, then I'll tell you about Chengying's three effects."
"First, this card gains 100 ATK/DEF for each banished card, and monsters your opponent controls lose 100 ATK/DEF for each banished card!"
"Second, if this card would be destroyed by card effect, you can banish 1 card from your GY instead!"
"Third, if a card is banished, you can activate this effect; banish 1 card from your opponent's field and 1 card from their GY!"
"The first is a continuous effect that affects ATK/DEF, you can see it, so I won't elaborate; the second is a substitute destruction effect, it's not once per turn, meaning if you have cards in your GY, it's basically immune to effect destruction; the third is a once per turn effect that doesn't target, banishing regardless of battle position. It's especially effective against certain formidable... ahem, I mean, cards that cannot be targeted!"
Youye began to briefly explain Chengying's effects to Bai Yun'er.
"Wow, so strong! Is this the true boss monster of my Swordsoul archetype!? I love it!"
Bai Yun'er's eyes lit up after hearing Youye speak.
With just one banished card, it could surpass her hard-earned extra deck ace, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and it also had effect destruction resistance and a banishing effect.
If she obtained it, becoming Mystic Level, no, even Earth Level wouldn't be a dream!
"I know you love it, but hold off on that for a moment. This is just one of the Thirteen Swords... Let's end the duel for now."
Youye looked at Bai Yun'er, whose eyes were sparkling, and reminded her.
This world was different from his previous one. Duelists in this world generally didn't surrender. Surrendering was a disgrace to them, so even during the later "garbage time," no one would surrender.
"Okay."
Bai Yun'er suppressed the excitement in her heart and nodded with anticipation.
After the duel ended, she would be able to get the Tenyi Swordsoul decklist. If she also got the strategy and finalized the build, a strong feeling told her that as long as she wasn't facing the senior in front of her, she could easily defeat any duelist she had ever met!
"I activate the effect of [Bystial Baldrake] from my hand, banishing Magna Dracon from my GY to Special Summon it!"
"Since a card was banished, Chengying's third effect can activate. I will non-target banish your set Magic Cylinder in your back row and [Mo Ye] from your GY."
Since Bai Yun'er had no way to stop Chengying's effect, Youye directly declared which cards to banish.
Watching one card from her field and one from her GY being banished, while Chengying's ATK increased by 200 and her Blue-Eyes' ATK decreased by 200 in this critical moment, the excitement on Bai Yun'er's face grew.
This was the beauty of Chengying's power!
"I Normal Summon [Rokket Tracer] and enter the Battle Phase. I attack Blue-Eyes White Dragon with Chengying!" Youye declared the attack.
Chengying 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;
As Youye announced, with 2500 + 1600 damage, Bai Yun'er, who only had 320 LP left, had her LP reduced to zero.
"Senior, I want to summon Chengying too!"
After the duel ended, Bai Yun'er immediately looked at Youye, grabbed his left hand, and said with anticipation.
"To obtain the cards, apologize properly to the Swordsoul spirits. I think once you gain their recognition, you'll be able to get 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 known long ago that Swordsoul is a Synchro-focused deck. It's all my fault for thinking that obtaining high-level Swordsoul Masters and Swordsoul Dragons were the boss monsters and abandoning the Swordsoul archetype!"
"When I go back, I will apologize to each of the Swordsoul spirits and show them my sincerity!"
Bai Yun'er clenched her fists, her eyes filled with self-reproach and regret.
"Good, you're teachable!" Seeing her like that, Youye nodded in satisfaction, then his tone shifted: "Do you want to learn Tenyi Thirteen Swords now?"
"Yes, Senior, I want to learn Tenyi Swordsoul Thirteen Swords!"
Bai Yun'er looked at Youye, stood up, and bowed halfway to him, saying with great seriousness and reverence.
Chengying was one of the swords, so it was clear how powerful Tenyi Swordsoul was. If she obtained it, she might reach a level no one in her family had ever reached before!
"Alright, pay up. I'll teach you the sword manual (deck build) for Tenyi Thirteen Swords first!"
Youye extended his hand and showed his QR code for payment.
"Okay, I'll pay you right away, Senior!" Bai Yun'er immediately took out her phone, ready to pay.
Just then, a woman in her early twenties wearing professional attire pushed the door open and grabbed Bai Yun'er's hand, stopping her.
"Wait a minute, little girl, you can't let him fool you."
"My name is Sheng Ning, and I'm a member of the Duel Inspectorate. Before you, several customers have already complained about him to our Inspectorate, saying he gives strange advice to modify deck builds, making the deck very strong in the store, but once they leave, the cards are either impossible to find or extremely expensive."
"He uses these impossible-to-achieve methods to bully you unknown little newbies."
After speaking, Sheng Ning paused slightly, her beautiful eyes glancing at Youye, who stood to the side with a calm expression, seemingly letting her say whatever she wanted. She thought Youye was just putting on a brave face and intended to continue deceiving people, so she continued speaking to Bai Yun'er: "Little girl, did he tell you to fuse a card with a very rare or strange archetype?"
