Seeing the pile of cards in the graveyard from the Blue Feathered Pigeon, An Yang almost fainted.
Then, upon seeing the Follower specially summoned by the Blue Feathered Pigeon...
1-star Follower, [Phoenix-Riding Beast · Little Sparrow].
An Yang almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
You stupid bird!
You dumped my ace Follower into the graveyard again!
What made An Yang spew blood was that this time the stupid bird went further, dumping the few cards that could unconditionally retrieve his Cyan Jade Kite into the graveyard.
Though there were other means in his deck to retrieve the Cyan Jade Kite, the cost would be particularly heavy.
But, it doesn't matter!
Not long ago, I acquired another powerful Beast Tamer!
If there's no way to resolve this duel with the Cyan Jade Kite, then let this duel be its debut!
An impressive graveyard pile.
As Shen Sui, the opponent, could only comment.
He could already see the shadow of Lan in An Yang's Blue Feathered Ring-necked Pigeon.
Though its effect was far stronger than Lan's, an effect with the ability to instantly change the battle situation, their knack for getting others into trouble remained unchanged.
No wonder it's the intelligent blue.
No wonder it's the Ring-necked Pigeon.
Shen Sui was even puzzled about why An Yang included this card. For a Beast Taming Card Set, which often follows a fixed pattern, randomness is most undesirable. A random element could instantly break the entire unfolding chain, making the Life Card Master lose control of the duel's pace.
Then Shen Sui noticed a familiar mark on this stupid bird.
"Pay 5 Soul Points to transform the [Phoenix-Riding Beast · Blue Feathered Ring-necked Pigeon] on my field." An Yang initiated the Form Transformation.
Yes, on this Blue Feathered Pigeon was indeed the Soul Card mark; it was An Yang's initial Beast Tamer, as well as his Soul Card.
If that's the case, it seems there's no way to exclude it.
"Blue Feathered Pigeon, first-stage evolution!"
An Yang shouted loudly.
The evolutionary blue light glowed on the Blue Feathered Pigeon.
"Form Transformation! Phoenix-Riding Beast! Profound Robe Blue Feathered Pigeon!"
The phantom of a blue phoenix instantaneously appeared behind the Blue Feathered Pigeon. In the next moment, the Blue Feathered Pigeon was adorned with unique feathers, colorless yet interconnected, draping the blue bird in a transparent profound robe.
The appearance of a phantom of the legendary Divine Beast during evolution means, according to the laws of World No. 10, that this Beast Tamer carries Divine Beast bloodline, with the potential to evolve into a Divine Beast.
Shen Sui did not know this, yet it didn't hinder his vigilance.
"Activate the effect of the Profound Robe Blue Feathered Pigeon. When transformed to appear, I can return all other [Phoenix-Riding Beast] on the field to the deck!"
An Yang returned the [Phoenix-Riding Beast · White-crowned Finch], [Phoenix-Riding Beast · Little Cuckoo Dove], [Phoenix-Riding Beast · Little Sparrow] to the deck.
"Then! I can choose up to three [Phoenix-Riding Beast] Follower Cards from the deck to add to my hand, with the total star level of Followers summoned this way not exceeding the total star level of the Followers returned to the deck by the Profound Robe Blue Feather's effect."
[Phoenix-Riding Beast · White-crowned Finch], 6-star Follower.
[Phoenix-Riding Beast · Little Cuckoo Dove], 5-star Follower.
If An Yang wanted to retrieve Cyan Jade Kite from his deck, he needed three more stars, so he intended to activate the Blue Feathered Pigeon's effect.
In his deck, only a Little Sparrow had a star level lower than 3, surely his luck wouldn't be that bad.
Then he witnessed the lowest point of his luck.
The Blue Feathered Ring-necked Pigeon not only specially summoned a Little Sparrow but also dumped the Cyan Jade Kite he intended to retrieve into the graveyard.
This stupid bird.
An Yang wanted to cry but had no tears.
However, even if he'd successfully retrieved the Cyan Jade Kite into his hand, An Yang didn't plan to summon it during the first-turn round, as it would waste the effect of this powerful Follower Card, and his own graveyard would have few Followers during the first-turn round.
An Yang selected three Follower Cards from the deck to add to his hand.
"Then activate the effect of the Profound Robe Blue Feathered." An Yang triggered the effect of his on-field Soul Card, "Once per turn, I can decrease its star level by any amount, and if I do, I can make all Life Cards in my hand with a star level equal to the reduced stars immune to the cost of use."
The Profound Robe Blue Feather's star level is 5; when decreased to 0 stars, this Follower would be destroyed.
An Yang opted to decrease by 4 stars, lowering the Profound Robe Blue Feather to 1 star.
Because he added three 4-star Follower Cards to his hand through the Profound Robe Blue Feather effect!
"Is this the unfolding of the Beast Taming Card Set?" Shen Sui watched the three Followers An Yang summoned again, unable to refrain from sighing.
Meanwhile, An Yang's storytelling continued.
"Activate [Phoenix-Riding Beast · Hill Plover]'s effect. When it is successfully summoned normally, I can draw a card from the deck."
"Activate [Phoenix-Riding Beast · Crowned Sparrow]'s effect!" An Yang triggered the effect of the lone Follower on the field, "Once per turn, send two [Phoenix-Riding Beast] Followers on the field to the graveyard, and summon a [Phoenix-Riding Beast] Follower from my deck. The special summoned Follower's star level cannot exceed the total star level of the Followers sent to the graveyard."
An Yang sent the Hill Plover and Long-tailed Tit on the field to the graveyard, reopening his deck once more.
"I choose to specially summon from the deck, 8-star Follower [Phoenix-Riding Beast · Purple Gold Cuckoo]!"
"Then," An Yang responded to the timing that had emerged, "Activate the effect of the [Phoenix-Riding Beast · Long-tailed Tit] sent to the grave. When it's sent to the grave by card effect, it can be activated to specially summon a [Phoenix-Riding Beast] Follower from the deck with a star level lower than itself."
"I choose to specially summon a 3-star Follower from the deck, [Phoenix-Riding Beast · Fire-crowned Finch]!"
"Activate [Phoenix-Riding Beast · Fire-crowned Finch]'s effect; when it is specially summoned to the field, I can discard a card from my hand to activate it. Until the next turn's start on my side, as long as the Fire-crowned Finch is on the field, my [Phoenix-Riding Beast] Followers won't be destroyed by battle. If I do this, I can't declare an attack until the next turn starts."
"Then! Activate [Phoenix-Riding Beast · Purple Gold Cuckoo]'s effect, once per turn, I can discard all cards in my hand to activate it, specially summoning a number of [Hundred Birds Paying Homage] Followers from the deck equal to the discarded hand cards. Followers summoned by this method lose their effects."
"I discard all cards in my hand." An Yang actually only had two cards left.
One was a Spell Card.
The other was the Follower Card [Phoenix-Riding Beast · Paradise Bird of Joy]
According to Purple Gold Cuckoo's effect, he specially summoned a Follower from the deck.
10-star, 3000 Follower.
An Yang took a deep breath.
After a round of storytelling, he was indeed parched.
If not for the theatrical graveyard pile by the Blue Feathered Pigeon, he wouldn't have taken such a route to flood the field.
But the outcome is favorable.
Next, let's see how you face this!
"My turn ends," An Yang said.
