Card Duels: Start by deducing the Blue Eyes White Dragon!

Su Chengyang's gaze was unwavering, his aura overwhelming!

He was absolutely confident.

So much so that his sheer presence made Deng Qilang hesitate for a moment. Did Su Chengyang really have some kind of trump card?

He Nuonuo bit her lower lip, her eyes sparkling with excitement. It was coming! It was finally coming!

She gave off the vibe of someone who loved watching drama unfold, the kind of spectator who thrived on chaos.

In contrast, Zhang Mingyun was much more straightforward.

He stood up.

Clenching his fist, he shouted, "Old Su, beat Deng Qilang to a pulp!"

His personality was blunt, extremely blunt.

"Sit down!" Jiang Qingmiao scolded angrily.

"Uh, okay."

Zhang Mingyun's bravado deflated, and he awkwardly scratched his head before sitting back down.

But his small eyes were still glued to the magic card in Su Chengyang's hand, watching intently as he prepared to summon his monster.

In fact, Zhang Mingyun wasn't the only one. Wang Yin, for instance, was also staring at Su Chengyang's magic card.

He subconsciously swallowed hard, wondering where Su Chengyang's confidence was coming from.

"With the imprint of my main combat magic card, I summon my strongest dragon!"

The magic card in Su Chengyang's hand began to glow faintly.

The light grew brighter and brighter.

He pressed the card firmly into the card slot!

"Strongest dragon? A dragon? Don't make me laugh," Deng Qilang suddenly relaxed.

Dragon-type magic card monsters were notoriously powerful. Even the weakest flying dragons were at least four stars. A three-star dragon? It had to be some kind of knockoff, nothing to worry about.

But Deng Qilang wasn't the only one with such doubts.

On the judges' panel, Zhou Hua, the dean, remained expressionless, maintaining the absolute neutrality expected of a judge.

Until Su Chengyang's monster was summoned, she showed no reaction.

"You won't be laughing for long," Su Chengyang pointed to the vast arena. "Appear, Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

At the front of the duel platform, the crystal emitted a brilliant white light, shooting out into the arena.

The stream of white light cut through the air, materializing into a massive, tangible figure that grew clearer and clearer.

A pair of broad wings spread out naturally, its tail swishing as its body expanded. Its long neck, short arms, and smooth white scales became more and more distinct.

It hovered in mid-air, revealing its true form as a dragon, radiating an intense white light that illuminated its enemy, the Deep Sea King.

Every scale on its body shimmered with a dazzling brilliance, like countless stars twinkling in the night.

This was a true dragon!

Not a wingless flying dragon, nor a wingless land dragon.

Its body stretched about ten meters long, brimming with vitality and an overwhelming destructive force.

"A dragon! It's a dragon!"

Someone in the audience pointed at the arena, and the crowd erupted.

In previous matches, the appearance of the Deep Sea King and its evolution into the Shark Demon Form hadn't elicited such a reaction.

Especially among the third-year students.

They were here because the academy had organized the event, not out of personal interest.

As third-year card masters, most of them were already at the fourth tier, with some even reaching the fifth tier.

Watching second-year duels held little educational value for them.

That's why they had been sitting in the audience, treating it as entertainment, enjoying the spectacle of younger students duking it out. The more intense the fight, the more they enjoyed it.

Until this moment!

A dragon had truly appeared in the arena.

"How is this possible? A real dragon!" exclaimed a third-year elite student, his eyes wide and jaw nearly hitting the floor.

This was absurd!

A dragon had actually appeared.

Another third-year elite student said gravely, "It's a light-attribute dragon!"

He himself was at the peak of the fourth tier, yet even with his formidable strength, he couldn't control a dragon, let alone a light-attribute one.

Light attribute!

One of the most difficult attributes to construct in a magic card.

The perspective shifted to the second-year section.

"This can't be real..." Jiang Xiaotian couldn't believe what she was seeing.

He Nuonuo's mouth hung open in a daze, muttering, "Just how bold is Su Chengyang?"

To dare to construct a light-attribute dragon at such a critical moment.

He really had nerves of steel.

"Holy crap, it's really a light dragon!" Zhang Mingyun was about to stand up again but caught the murderous glare from their homeroom teacher and quickly sat back down.

His legs were trembling.

This was truly unbelievable.

Above the arena, the large screen refreshed to display Su Chengyang's information.

Almost everyone turned their attention to it simultaneously.

[Duelist: Su Chengyang (Third Tier - Advanced)]

[Main Combat Magic Card: Blue-Eyes White Dragon (3 Stars · Cyan)]

[Monster Race: Cartoon Clan (Light Attribute)]

[Health Points: 2900/2900 (Due to its dragon traits, it exerts additional pressure on certain races.)]

[Combat Power/Defense: 1100/900 (Due to its dragon traits, it exerts additional pressure on certain races.)]

After seeing this stat panel, many breathed a sigh of relief, but then their expressions turned complex as they looked at Su Chengyang.

He was truly a prodigy.

To have constructed a three-star dragon-type magic card monster using the Cartoon Clan.

On the judges' panel, Su Wu, who had barely spoken until now, suddenly spoke up.

"It's true that the Cartoon Clan can construct monsters of other races, and the difficulty is somewhat reduced. But even throughout history, the limit for Cartoon Clan dragons has been four stars. No one has ever created a three-star Cartoon Clan dragon before. Impressive. I have high hopes for this student."

His evaluation was fair, completely unbiased.

Even within the Cartoon Clan, no one had ever achieved this level of mastery.

Truly, this was the caliber of a prodigy from Qingbei Academy, some thought to themselves.

"The judge is too kind," Su Chengyang said modestly.

At that moment, the intense light surrounding the Blue-Eyes White Dragon dissipated, revealing its true form.

Its dragon claws held a pair of cartoonish eyes, which it forcefully stuffed into its eye sockets before rubbing them a few times.

It threw its head back and roared, "Rawr!!"

On the opposite duel platform, Deng Qilang was initially stunned, then his expression shifted between disbelief and confidence. Finally, he regained his composure and said, "It really is a dragon. You scared me for a moment! But it doesn't have the overwhelming combat power of a true dragon. Only combat power reigns supreme!"

While the Blue-Eyes White Dragon possessed dragon traits, in Deng Qilang's eyes, its 1100 combat power was no match for the Deep Sea King's Shark Demon Form, which boasted 1200 combat power.

"Dragons are not invincible. When my Deep Sea King goes all out, how will you handle it?" Deng Qilang glared at the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, pointing at it.

He shouted, "Deep Sea King, don't give it any chance! Devour its heart!"
