What Blue-Eyes White Dragon? Sorry, I don't know it!

"I Tune the Level 6 Swordsoul Strategist Longyuan on my field with the Level 4 Tuner Token, Synchro Summoning the Level 10 Chengying!"

"Longyuan's effect! When this card is sent to the Graveyard as Synchro Material, inflict 1200 LP damage to your opponent!"

Sheng Ning's LP: 8000 → 6800

As Chengying appeared, Sheng Ning's focus wasn't on the 1200 LP she lost; she stared intently at Chengying.

A Level 10 Light monster, the boss monster of the Swordsoul Archetype. It dared to be in Attack Position with only 3000 ATK in front of her Ancient Gear boss monster with 4500 ATK. She didn't believe it didn't have some special effect.

Just as she was wondering what Chengying's effect was, Bai Yun'er beside her spoke in shock, speechless.

"Senior, Longyuan actually has this hidden effect? I never knew."

Bai Yun'er mentioning Longyuan's hidden effect immediately left Youye speechless.

For a Deck centered around Synchro Summoning, using it for Tribute Summons... the effect that's easiest to trigger on Longyuan is called a hidden effect? That's a bit ridiculous.

Then she said something even more surprising.

"But Senior, playing Chengying is useless! You don't have any Bystials in your hand, so you can't proactively Banish cards yourself to trigger Chengying's Banish effect. You can't get rid of their big monster this turn. Chengying's destruction substitution effect is for effect destruction, it can't protect against battle destruction."

"Sigh, Little Bai, if you use Swordsoul like this, the Swordsoul Spirits will really cry."

Hearing this, Youye sighed lightly.

He could understand her not being familiar with the Tenyi Engine. But how little would you have to know about your own Deck to not know the effects of the cards in it? Was she really just thinking about how to summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon all day?

Sheng Ning, meanwhile, silently noted down the information Bai Yun'er had said, feeling a sense of relief.

Triggered Banish, not destroyed by effects... for her Ancient Gear Archetype, this could be dealt with easily!

"Watch closely!"

After reminding Bai Yun'er, Youye continued his plays.

"I activate the Normal Spell from my hand, Swordsoul Emergence! Its effect lets me add 1 Swordsoul Archetype monster from my Deck to my hand. There's more to this effect, but I won't mention it because the monster I'm adding to my hand is Swordsoul Strategist Taia!"

"I Normal Summon Taia and activate its effect! By Banishing a card from the Graveyard that's an Archetype Card or a Wyrm-Type monster, I can Special Summon a Swordsoul Token. I choose to Banish Longyuan from the Graveyard to Special Summon a Swordsoul Token."

"Since I Banished a card, Chengying's effect activates! It Banishes one card from your field and one from your Graveyard, without targeting! I Banish Ancient Gear Golem from your Graveyard and Ancient Gear Ultimate Golem from your field! Since it was Banished, Ultimate Golem's destruction effect cannot activate. Also, because of Chengying's effect, three cards were Banished, so Chengying gains 300 ATK and DEF, and the monsters on your field lose 300 ATK and DEF!"

Sheng Ning: ...

Just a moment ago, she was confident she would win, but now her big monster on the field was gone?

Not only that, Youye clearly still had more plays, and he just happened to deal with her boss monster along the way. And he dealt with it in a way that didn't even let its effect activate!

This was the first time she had seen something like this since joining the Inspector Bureau!

Bai Yun'er: ???

Swordsoul is this strong? How did she not know? With just this one move, she wouldn't dare say Heaven-tier, but Mystic Level is definitely easy, right?

Looks like she needs to have a good talk with the Swordsoul Spirits when she gets back. She has to at least butter up... no, beg for Chengying!

Blue-Eyes White Dragon? Sorry, I, Bai Yun'er, don't know it anymore starting now!

When she gets back, no, as soon as Senior's Duel is over, she'll immediately remove Blue-Eyes White Dragon from her Deck Build.

A mere Normal Monster is not even worth a single hair of my Swordsoul Archetype boss monster, Chengying!

"I Tune the Level 4 Taia with the Level 4 Tuner Swordsoul Token, Synchro Summoning the Level 8 Swordsoul Grandmaster Chixiao!"

"Chixiao's on-Synchro Summon effect activates! I can search for or Banish a Swordsoul Archetype card, then as Chain Link 2, Taia's effect when sent to the Graveyard as Synchro Material activates! I can send a Swordsoul Archetype card or a Wyrm-Type monster from my Deck to the Graveyard!"

"Following the principle of resolving the last effect first, Taia's effect as Chain Link 2 sends the Tenyi Tenyi Dragon Adhara to the Graveyard! Chixiao's effect as Chain Link 1 adds Swordsoul Sacred Summit from my Deck to my hand."

"I could actually continue making plays with a different approach here, but the damage is already enough for a clean finish, so I won't waste time making more plays."

Youye glanced at the field, a faint smile on his face.

"Senior, that's not right! Sister Sheng has a monster with 1300 ATK! Your combined ATK is only 7200, which isn't enough to defeat Sister Sheng's 6800 LP!"

Bai Yun'er looked at the field and questioned Youye.

Sheng Ning was also confused, wondering what Youye was up to, saying something like that.

"It's simple. In my next step, the monster on her field will be gone, and it will also give the Tenyi Engine a bit more involvement."

Youye replied, and as he finished speaking, he continued his plays.

"The effect of the Tenyi in the Graveyard! If there is a face-up monster on my field that is not an Effect Monster, I can Banish this card from the Graveyard and target Ancient Gear Wyvern on her field! That card returns to its owner's hand!"

After Youye finished his move, Bai Yun'er's mouth hung open, her face full of disbelief at the scene before her.

A field she couldn't get past no matter what, Youye cleared it so easily? And he still had resources left, still able to continue playing?

For the first time in her life, she felt the gap, the gap in understanding the Duel!

Sheng Ning was also silent now, constantly thinking about who Youye was!

This was too unreasonable! Clearing her incredibly strong field while answering Bai Yun'er and making plays, it was extremely fluid, as if he had already thought of how to deal with her field as soon as she set it up.

This was the first time the Swordsoul Archetype and the notoriously weak Tenyi Archetype had appeared. How could they be so strong when combined? And why did he know how to combine them like this?

It was unreasonable, far too unreasonable!

"How about it? Do you recognize the strength of Tenyi Swordsoul, and my strength?"

Looking at the two women, eyes wide and mouths agape, completely losing their composure, Youye asked with a smile.

Hearing Youye's voice, Bai Yun'er didn't hesitate at all. She pulled out her pink wallet, took out a card, and said excitedly, "Recognized! Absolutely recognized! No wonder Senior said Heaven-tier is the baseline and King-tier isn't a dream. This Tenyi Swordsoul is so much stronger than any Deck I've ever seen!"

"This is an unregistered bank card with 1.5 million on it. The password is 123456. You can keep the extra 500,000 as payment for Senior demonstrating the strategy!"

"Alright! Come over, I'll tell you about the Deck Build and the cards! If there are any strategies you don't understand, or cards that can strengthen it, or how to modify the Deck Build based on your opponent, you can always ask me. The price is negotiable, and if you don't have money, you can trade cards I need."

Youye happily accepted the bank card and reminded her.

Just now, Sheng Ning said Bai Yun'er was from the White Dragon Family in Hangcheng. This is the strongest family in Hangcheng, formerly one of the top ten families in the country. They definitely aren't short on money or cards. Such a fat sheep, no, such a generous customer, should naturally be developed for the long term.
