After finishing the first battle with Venus, Lin You waited for a while and then directly withdrew from the Blood Source Gate.

Even though fighting another battle with a Venus monster of the same strength wouldn't be too stressful for the Super Magic Dragon Knight, he had just absorbed such a huge amount of blood rain at once, so it would be better for him to digest it steadily.

Even now, with the Super Magic Dragon Knight returning to the card, Lin You could feel that he was still digesting the energy from before.

Not only that, the current Super Magic Dragon Knight's awakening degree has reached 100%!

The energy provided by eight top-level dark red star blood monsters is not as much as Harilan's own effort!

It's not just because the awakening level is still slowly rising, but also because the subsequent 50% awakening level is much more difficult to achieve than the first half!

Sensing the changes in the Super Magic Dragon Knight, Lin You suddenly smiled. "It's expensive for a reason. Look at it this way, a Venus Blood Monster is far more cost-effective than a Dark Red Star Monster. 6,000 Merits is only three times the price of a top-of-the-line Dark Red Star Monster, but its effectiveness is more than three times."

Lin You felt that the number of hunts was increasingly precious, especially after his duel authority was increased. One hunt was worth 6,000 merit points.

Even with his current wealth, more than half of it would be wiped out!

With A- authority, there are 5 hunting opportunities per year. If converted, wouldn’t that be 30,000 duel merit points?

It's a bit scary!

But on second thought, those with this level of authority are usually legendary duelists!

For a legend like him, it is normal to receive such treatment in one year.

Those Venus blood monsters sealed in the Blood Gate are most likely the work of the legendary person.

"Having said that, I still need to spend my merits!"

Thinking of merits, Lin You immediately thought of himself. He now has more than 8,000 merits on hand.

I used to think it was a huge amount of money, but after hunting the Venus monster, my thoughts changed.

The value of these two extra hunting opportunities exceeds this merit!

After earning merits, you have to spend them well. The more you spend, the stronger you become, and it will be easier to earn more in the future.

Lin You has always been sure of this, because this is how he grew up.

Otherwise, how could he achieve such an achievement at the age of twenty?

It just so happens that I'm going to the Divine Beast Island soon to participate in a grand competition. I'll strengthen myself as much as I can.

Right now, the enhancement that brings the greatest benefits, apart from the awakening of the Super Magic Dragon Knight, is the card.

At Lin You's level, even the most basic card would have to be engraved with a 7-star spirit pattern, or even a third-tier card.

A third-level card naturally reaches 7 stars, and its effect is more powerful than a second-level card that is engraved with a 7-star spiritual pattern.

Lin You only has two such cards on hand.

Resurrection of the Dead and Ripple Shield - Wave Force.

There are also four seven-star cards, which cannot be promoted to a higher level like these two cards, but with seven stars, they can still keep up with the current battle rhythm.

After all, even the monster from Venus would be affected to some extent!

Thinking about these, Lin You opened the Duel Mall.

As his authority increases, the cards he can unlock become more powerful.

I hadn't really looked at it before, but now I can study it a bit.

First, I opened the monster section, and the overwhelming monster cards immediately came into view.

On the filtering interface, Lin You saw a category that he was extremely interested in at a glance - Venus!

It is the pinnacle of monster card levels!

There is something that cannot be touched even with B-level authority, but after reaching A-, I finally saw it!

With the current power of the Super Magic Dragon Knight, ordinary monster cards can no longer enter Lin You's field of vision.

But Venus is another matter.

Even though the Super Magic Dragon Knight defeated Harilan relatively easily, Lin You dared to say that the Super Magic Dragon Knight was invincible at the Dark Red Star, but he did not dare to say that he was invincible at the Venus level.

Whether it can be at the top level among Venusians remains a question mark.

It’s just right that I can take this opportunity to learn more about the ceiling of this level of life in the mall.

After setting the Venus classification, I searched again. This time, many cards still appeared.

The Duelist Association has a terrifying background!

Even Venus monsters are not too rare in the Duel Mall.

However, the prices of these Venus monsters are quite good.

After casually browsing through a dozen pictures, Lin You discovered that the price of Venus monsters generally exceeded 2,000 merits, which was four times that of the dark red star monsters.

“It’s cheaper than I thought.”

Lin You made a simple comment. After all, the previous Harilan was sold for as much as 6,000 merits.

Although Harilan is a blood-origin monster, it should not be considered too strong at the Venus level.

After browsing for a while, Lin You screened again.

This time, we will go from high to low to see which Venus monsters are the most powerful under the a- authority.

Soon, the search yielded results.

【Sword King War - King Frod】

Star rating: Gold

Attribute: Wind

Race: Warrior

Attack power/2500, Defense power/2000

Super destructive strength: 28 times

Wuji body strength: 20 times

Special effects:

: Sword King War - King Frod can only have 1 face-up King on your field.

Activate this effect by releasing any number of King Battle Monsters or Warrior-Type Monsters on your field. Target that number of monsters on the field, destroying them. Afterward, your opponent randomly draws cards equal to the number of destroyed monsters from their deck, reducing their cost by half. This effect can only be activated once per minute.

Price: 10,000 Merits

…

The card that appeared really had an eye-catching price, a terrifying 10,000 merits!

Lin You was stunned. This was so damn expensive! He couldn’t even afford it with all his money!

The top existence in the Venus card, is his wealth so terrifying?

No, this may be far from the top!

You should know that above a-, there is a higher level of authority, which is level a.

Only when you reach level A and unlock the monster cards can you truly be called top-level.

Such a sky-high price stimulated Lin You so much that he quickly took a good look at the card.

Whether it is super destructive strength or infinite body strength, it is not simple, but the most critical thing is that special

Effect.

If there is a sufficiently suitable deck, it will be continuous group destruction.

But unfortunately, such destruction cannot be concentrated on one target at a certain moment.

If we can concentrate our firepower, the intensity will increase again!

"It's strong, but..."

Lin You smiled and commented to himself, "Aside from the advantage of life level, it's still a long way behind the special effects of the Super Magic Dragon Knight."

But after thinking about it, it's not surprising. It is extremely difficult to surpass the Super Magic Dragon Knight in terms of effect.

The three special effects of the Super Magic Dragon Knight combined together are a bit too versatile.

After passing the monster in front of him, Lin You ran to the magician category and took a look around, but didn't see anything that interested him.

Of course, I was tempted to buy some of the cards, but considering the price and how helpful they would be at the current stage, I decided to give up.

At this stage, the Super Magic Dragon Knight is enough to deal with monster combat power.

The strategy of choosing to strengthen the Super Magic Dragon Knight was indeed correct!

Thinking of this, Lin You switched the card interface and this time, looked at the magic and trap cards.

a-

Among the permissions, third-level cards are very common.

Rather than B-level permissions, it is mainly spirit pattern cards.

They are all 7 stars, but the difference is self-evident.

Not only that, there is also a surprising existence among the options - 9 stars!

A third-level card engraved with 9 star spirit patterns!

This type of card is the most advanced among the third-level cards.

A 9-star card, it is said that it has full effect even against Venus monsters.

Lin You switched to the 9-star card without hesitation.

I took a quick look around and it made my teeth ache.

My feeling after reading it is just one word - expensive!

It’s too expensive!

It’s just a few thousand merits!

Lin You felt more and more that his identity as a rich man was a little ridiculous.

"There are always higher mountains than the other. No matter how much money you spend, you can't stop spending it!"

He sighed, but his eyes were still searching. Cards may be expensive, but there is a reason for it.

First, see if you can find the right card that can help the Super Magic Dragon Knight in battle.

It is suitable.

Not only must it be suitable, it must be extremely suitable. Otherwise, spending this merit would be worse than using it to hunt additional blood monsters.

The Super Magic Dragon Knight has just broken through to the duel level, and there is still some energy that has not been digested. Even after it is digested, his awakening level should not increase too much.

And after that, if we can hunt down two more Venus blood monsters, I think we will have a chance to become the Super Magic Dragon Knight Ace, right?

If it was an ordinary dark red star monster, this kind of question would be extremely stupid, but since the target was the Super Magic Dragon Knight, Lin You was really not sure.

The specific progress will depend on what progress will be made after hunting the next Venus blood monster.

…

Just as Lin You was searching for cards in the Blood Source Gate, Hei Yuan quietly left his laboratory in Jiangcheng High School.

"Well, isn't that Senior Heiyuan? It's so rare for him to show up."

"Really? Senior Heiyuan never leaves his house unless it's a special situation. Is there something wrong?"

"What could it be? Is it related to what happened before?"

In the mentor forest, some relatively young mentors who happened to see Hei Yuan began to whisper.

Heiyuan completely ignored it and soon arrived at a small modern villa.

As soon as the person arrived, he injected his magic power into the business card in front of the building.

Hu Xinyang's name was engraved on the business card.

Since it was not the owner's magic power, the business card immediately sounded an alarm after this magic power was injected.

Bang!

Not long after the alarm sounded, a figure rushed out hurriedly.

After seeing who was coming, the figure was slightly stunned. It was obvious that he had never guessed that the person standing at the door would be Heiyuan.

After a moment, Hu Xinyang reacted and asked in confusion, "Old Black, what happened today? What brought you here? I welcome you to come, but I just want to change the way you knock on the door. If someone doesn't know, they'd think there was a thief in the house!"

Naturally, no thief would dare to step into Hu Xinyang's house, but the way he injected magic power into the business card was indeed not very friendly.

"Feel sorry."

Hei Yuan immediately said, "I haven't been out for a long time. I thought this would activate the doorbell."

Hu Xinyang was helpless. If others said this, he would just think they were kidding. But since the person who said this was Heiyuan, he might really think so!

Hu Xinyang didn't dwell on this. What he was more curious about was why Lao Hei suddenly thought of coming to find him?

Chatting?

Obviously not possible.

"Come on, don't stand outside, come in quickly."

Hu Xinyang, curious in his heart, quickly led Heiyuan into the house.

Soon, he led him to the hall. Before he even reached the hall, he called out, "Xiao Zhuo, come quickly, a distinguished guest has arrived. Make a cup of tea for the senior..."

"No need to bother."

Hei Yuan immediately waved his hand. Hu Xinyang was about to tell him to be polite, but suddenly he slapped his head and said, "I almost forgot, Lao Hei, you don't seem to like this. It's a pity that the family didn't ask to prepare some coffee. I have to prepare some next time."

Then he added, "Xiao Zhuo, then stop working."

Deng Zhuo stopped and looked at Hei Yuan with some confusion and curiosity.

He actually didn't know much about Hei Yuan, but he knew one thing: this person... was Lin You's mentor!

Deng Zhuo, who once regarded Lin You as a goal that he must surpass, but now finds himself so different from the other party, has given up his unrealistic fantasy.

To him, Lin You's deeds were no different from legendary stories.

Because of this, Deng Zhuo is even more curious about Heiyuan.

Lin You's extraordinary behavior must be more or less related to this senior, right?

Perhaps guessing some of Deng Zhuo's thoughts, Hu Xinyang didn't let him leave at this moment. After sitting down, he said with a smile: "Lao Hei, what's going on today? I really didn't expect you to come."

Hei Yuan said straight to the point: "I'm issuing a challenge."

Buzz!

These three simple words instantly exploded in Hu Xinyang's mind, making him dizzy.

What is going on, Lao Hei?

He came to challenge me for no reason. Did I provoke him?

Before he could figure it out, Hei Yuan added, "The one who wants to duel with you is not me, but Lin You."

Buzz——!!

This time, the explosion was even more severe.

Hu Xinyang was completely dumbfounded. Lin You wanted to duel with him?

What nonsense is Lao Hei talking about!

When Deng Zhuo heard that it was related to Lin You, he was also stunned.

Lin You wants to challenge his mentor?

No matter how you listen to it, it's all a joke!

No matter how strong Lin You is now, he is only a second-year student in his early twenties after all, while Hu Xinyang is a senior among the instructors and a two-star master duelist!

It is unthinkable that a student would fight against such a strong man!

After a long while, Hu Xinyang finally reacted and thought of something. He suddenly smiled and said, "Xiao You wants me to give him some pointers. Okay, of course no problem. You can give me pointers for as long as you want. Just ask him to come over whenever you want. I'm always available."

It’s a great thing to be able to give Lin You some guidance!

Everyone knows that Lin You has a bright future and it is certain that he will become a legend in the future.

Being able to give it some guidance before it completely takes off, this kind of relationship can be considered as a connection.

There shouldn't be any problem in bragging about my identity as a "teacher" in front of outsiders in the future.

Even if Lin You can remember this good thing and give something back in the future, it will be a great joy!

Of course, Hu Xinyang didn't expect any reward at all. He would feel very satisfied just by being able to get a little closer to such an amazing talent.

While she was still thinking happily, Hei Yuan corrected her, "You misunderstood. This isn't instruction, this is a duel, an all-out contest!"
