The advantage gained in the dungeon battles definitely came in handy.
The duel between Franklin Doron and Sandra Wesley began immediately after the whistle blew.
Both players' strongest decks were showcased in their previous duel. Franklin Dorron's "Warrior Knight" deck struggled to deal with Sandra Wesley's "Gravekeeper" in the early game.
However, once you get through the initial stage and successfully summon a ten-star "Super Dragon Knight", you can activate "Dragon Knight Invincibility", which makes you immune to most change-type ultimate moves.
Sandra Wesley's "Gravekeeper" deck is based on trickery, and in terms of pure strength, it does not reach the level of "Super Dragon Knight".
Therefore, when Franklin Dorron's ten-star "Super Dragon Knight" finally appeared, she was indeed suppressed by it for a long time—but she did not give up.
When facing an opponent that is absolutely unbeatable, futile persistence is meaningless.
Sandra Wesley certainly understood this, but the fact that she didn't give up meant that she did indeed have a trump card that could turn the tide.
Franklin Doron had already realized this and was eager to achieve quick success, trying to seize the victory in one fell swoop before Doron could draw his weapon or make a decision!
Then Sandra Wesley was even more decisive than he had imagined. In that instant, she swiftly drew a card from her hand, turned it face up with two fingers, and then quickly chanted a spell.
Just three seconds later, a deep black light shone on the surface of the magic card.
A moment later, a mysterious mark lit up on the forehead of the ten-star "Super Dragon Knight".
Then the sky suddenly split open, and a huge tombstone emerged from the crack, pressing down fiercely!
The "Super Dragon Knight" was locked by the mark and was unable to move for a moment. The next second, it was ruthlessly suppressed by the huge tombstone that exuded an ancient aura!
It was crushed to the ground by the tombstone, and no matter how much it roared and struggled, it could not escape the tombstone's suppression.
Franklin Doron's expression suddenly changed.
The ten-star "Super Dragon Knight" possesses "Dragon Knight Invincible Body," which grants immunity to most transformation-type ultimate moves. Theoretically, even if it cannot be immune to the physical suppression of that giant tombstone, it should be immune to the initial mark and lock.
But it doesn't.
There are only two possibilities for this to happen.
One is that the giant tombstone's ability is extremely unique, existing outside of the "Dragon Knight's Invincibility" immunity effect. The other is that the giant tombstone's rank is even significantly higher than that of the already ten-star [Super Dragon Knight]!
"The Card of God!"
A thought suddenly flashed through Franklin Dorron's mind: "God Cards" are not limited to Magic Spirit Cards.
Among magic cards such as item cards, equipment cards, and magic cards, there are of course "God Cards".
Although he had never seen the real "Card of God," this was the only possibility he could think of at that moment.
Franklin Doron's face immediately darkened.
Without the "Super Dragon Knight," his magical spirits no longer have the overwhelming advantage in strength against his opponents, and the situation will only get worse in the face of Sandra Wesley's endless tricks.
"We must find a way to break that tombstone before our health reaches zero!"
Franklin Doron's mind raced as he tried every possible way to decipher the tombstone.
But no matter what he tried, he found that neither physical attacks, destructive ultimate moves, nor anti-magic ultimate moves could remove the tombstone!
After all his attempts, he completely lost his advantage on the field and was ultimately defeated by Sandra Wesley!
The second stunning comeback in a short period of time ignited a frenzy throughout the venue.
Only the students of the Noble Academy felt their spirits plummet.
Although many had a bad feeling before the duel began, Franklin Doron's perfect performance restored their confidence.
However, this trade deficit, characterized by both increases and decreases, is even more detrimental.
As the duel ended with Sandra Wesley's victory, many of the students in the House of Nobles were too exhausted to even cheer.
Franklin Doron, the person involved, was even more distressed.
He pressed his hand hard against the card table, feeling a tightness in his chest, unable to breathe for a long time. After a long while, he finally put away his magic cards and stepped down from the player's platform. There was nothing interesting to see in the "post-match analysis" of this duel; he was certain he had done everything he could to the limit.
The reason for the loss was simply because of that tombstone, which may or may not be a "God Card".
Sandra Wesley would never reveal any information about the enormous tombstone.
The host might mention it during the winner's interview. But he already knew how Sandra Wesley would answer.
—This is indeed a good time to bring out the "sages of antiquity".
The atmosphere in the players' stands of the House of Nobles was extremely tense.
Fortunately, there wasn't the classic "blame your teammates" moment—well, everyone except Darko lost, so how could you blame your teammates?
Five people sharing four pots, they can't possibly get this out of the way!
Looking at the three dejected people around him, Dak felt like his head was about to explode.
Before the match, he had considered the possibility of being at a disadvantage, but he did not expect it to be this bad—it was not a disadvantage at all, it was a complete collapse!
After a long pause, Dark finally spoke up: "Don't rush, don't rush, the situation hasn't deteriorated to the point of despair yet."
After finishing the introduction, when the three senior students looked over, Dark began to analyze in a serious tone: "Our next opponent is the Magic Academy. Although the Magic Academy won against the Fool's Academy, that advantage was established in the second year. If we were to face them instead, they wouldn't be able to get that victory point from the second year."
"And after the second year comes the third year. I've observed that the third-year students at the Magic Academy aren't particularly strong, at least not as strong as Benjamin Leopold. In other words, Elsie Kewen has a very high probability of winning."
"Then there are the fourth and fifth years, which are the Magic Academy's stable points of victory, and also happen to be our... well, weak points. This creates a 'Jerry's Horse Racing' situation. If they win two and lose two, the match point will fall back to the sixth year."
"In my opinion, Senior Debra Nellie from the sixth year of the Magic Academy and Senior Sandra Wesley from the Fool's Academy are evenly matched. Without that Tombstone Card, since Senior Franklin Doron was able to suppress Sandra Wesley, he can naturally suppress Senior Debra Nellie as well."
"Therefore, we have a chance of winning."
"And the odds of winning are not low."
"If we can secure these three points, we can still win!"
Dak slowly and deliberately explained his thoughts step by step.
The three senior students from the Noble Academy were understandably flustered after experiencing a brutal series of defeats.
At this point, he had no choice but to step forward.
Snake Harriman rubbed his nose and said shamelessly, "Indeed, being able to exchange a piece with the opponent is still useful."
Edwin Clarissa, being more sensitive, could only cover her face and tremble.
But at least the atmosphere, which had been deathly tense, has eased. It's not a big problem!

string (27502) "
The House of Nobles' crushing defeat to the House of Fools was something that was extremely difficult to foresee in pre-match analysis.
But that's how duels are; you can only know your opponent's strength when you're actually on the field.
After the five matches in this round, no one dared to underestimate the Fool's House anymore. Whether it was the upstart Benjamin Leopold, the fifth-year president of the "Astrology Club" Gina Grant, or the sixth-year student Sandra Wesley who had just declared herself a disciple of the "Ancient Sage," they were all top figures in their respective grades.
In contrast, the four students from the Noble Academy, apart from Dark Dimon, all lacked a certain edge.
Elsie Kevin, third grade; Snake Harriman, fourth grade; Edwin Clarissa, fifth grade; Franklin Doron, sixth grade.
They are not weak in themselves.
Apart from Snake Harriman, who is in fourth year and is indeed rather mediocre, the other three players are actually stronger than last year's group.
However, their opponents were somewhat inhuman.
Benjamin Leopold was an exceptionally outstanding individual. He shone even brighter in the relatively weaker third grade.
Elsie Kevin nearly won his duel with him, demonstrating that Elsie Kevin and he were extremely evenly matched.
As for the fifth and sixth grades at the Fool's House...
Gina Grant is someone who can fight Pandora and Drogon to a standstill, so it's perfectly normal that Edwin Clarissa is no match for her.
Sixth-grader Sandra Wesley even pulled out the "God Card," making her comeback victory entirely predictable.
If it weren't for that "God Card," Franklin Dorron wouldn't have lost.
In this round of matches, the Nobles suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 1:4. Both the audience and the commentators could only express their regret, and even the Nobles' supporters couldn't help but worry, their initial confidence upon entering the dueling arena beginning to waver.
But the House of Lords has also experienced Waterloo in the past. But as long as it is given trust, it can always rise again.
Due to time constraints, the "post-match analysis" of the final duel in this round ended in less than ten minutes.
Joe William edited the entire duel in real time, shortening the commentary time but not missing any exciting moments.
This ability is truly astonishing.
After the "post-match analysis" ended, host Judy quickly took the stage, and after a brief transition, the next round of the match began.
That is, the Magic Academy vs. the Knight Academy!
The House of Nobles and the House of Fools, having just finished a round of matches, retreated to the lounge to rest.
Dark and his companions saw Franklin Doron in the common room of the House of Lords.
Compared to his first defeat, Franklin Dorron quickly recovered this time.
The outcome of this duel was something he had anticipated. Therefore, although he was upset about losing, he quickly recovered.
"Prepare for the final duel."
When Dak and the others returned, he spoke directly. His tone was devoid of any dejection, which reassured those who heard it.
But considering he's a player who's already lost twice in a row... that makes me feel even more at ease!
After all, Snake Harriman and Edwin Clarissa had both lost twice in a row.
If even Franklin Dorron, as the eldest brother, can do this, how can they give up?
Ha, it's just Winnie Skadi and Pandora Drogon, huh? Watch out, brothers, if they get aggressive, they'll take you all down!
The contestants from the Noble Academy took a deep breath and truly rallied. For Edwin Clarissa and the others, the defeat in the duel tournament was something they had already anticipated after the previous dungeon tournament.
Although the contestants in the two competitions are slightly different, they can actually give a glimpse into the overall situation of the four colleges.
It was precisely because Edwin Clarissa had anticipated this that she actively prepared to try and salvage the situation, placing all her last hopes on Dark Dimon in her words and actions.
But if their own record is too poor, even Darko can't save them.
"Let's watch the match between the Magic Academy and the Knight Academy first," Dark said as he stepped forward.
There are still many variables in this year's duel competition.
The match between the Knights Academy and the Magic Academy is truly difficult to predict. Based on the current known strength comparisons, Dark is even on the Knights Academy's side.
However, the difference in points between the Knights Academy and the Magic Academy after the Dungeon Battle was only 10,000 points.
Even if the final result is that the Knights' House wins by a large margin, it won't be good for the House of Nobles.
The competition between the Knights Academy and the Magic Academy soon began.
The audience has become accustomed to the high-intensity duels and adjusts their fluctuating emotions as the matches change.
First up is a showdown between second-year students.
The second-year student at the Knights Academy is "Son of the Hero" Witt Gold. Although Witt Gold lost to Dark Dimon in the last duel, his performance was still very impressive, and the power of his "Holy Sword Spell" left a deep impression.
However, at this moment, he was facing Sara Swati from the Magic Academy.
Sara Swati demonstrated exceptional individual strength in the previous duel, displaying no weaknesses in any aspect and completely overwhelming Klein Moretti of the Fool's House.
As the daughter of an "ancient sage," it is not surprising that she possesses such power.
People who possess the title of "Sage" are extremely rare, and those like "Ancient Sages" are the pinnacle among "Sages".
He was very well-known within his circle and even among the general public. After all, "ancient sages" always seem to possess an endless stream of treasures. Therefore, when Sandara Wesley mentioned his name, the audience became less curious about her enormous tombstone.
In short, no one could predict the outcome of this duel before it ended.
After a brief exchange, the two contestants began their duel.
Witt God's deck now only has two copies of "Holy Sword Curse," so theoretically the probability of drawing it at the beginning of the first turn is already very low.
But he seems to have a special connection with the "Holy Sword Curse," as he once again drew it from his initial hand.
However, he wasn't under as much pressure when facing Sara Swati. Therefore, he didn't consider using unconventional methods—like a card-rush strategy.
Even so, he still chose to start by summoning the "Holy Sword Spell" and used "Holy Judgment" of "Greatsword of Light - Zoffy" on Sara's summoning zone!
