Chapter 148: Hand Traps Prohibited
Pegasus Night Walk took a deep breath.

With only 500 HP remaining, the field was almost completely blank. On the other side, there was a messenger created by a legendary warrior renowned in the duel monster world, which was almost a fatal disadvantage.

but why?
Why was he shaking uncontrollably?
Yes, that's the feeling.

Facing the best opponent, burning out everything you have as a duelist, the thrill of fighting with all your might.

What Keipi said was right. Although the battle with Yugi Muto helped him get rid of the mental control of the three evil gods, he also felt his own bottleneck immediately afterwards.

For many years, he has felt unable to make a breakthrough and seemed to have reached his limit. But it is precisely because of this that he is more eager for a strong opponent.

Only fighting with the strong can stimulate him to break through the upper limit and move to a higher level.

And now, he unexpectedly found that feeling in a freshman from the Duel Academy.

There is no doubt that this is an opponent who is truly worthy of him giving his all in trying to break through!
Even though he was the one bearing the title of "Legendary Duelist" and the other party was just a student, Ye Xing naturally placed himself in the position of a challenger in his heart.

He wants to achieve a breakthrough by crossing this gap!

"It's my turn, draw a card!" Night Walker said, "Activate the magic card 'Pot of Greed' and draw two cards from the deck!"

After drawing the card, Ye Xing narrowed his eyes and the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily.

It seemed like he had found a way to turn the situation around.

"First, activate the magic card 'Level Identification'!" Night Walker said, "Choose a monster on your field, and you can change that monster to any star from 1 to 8 stars!" (Original card)
This is also the card that Ye Xing used when playing against Yugi in the comics.

"I choose the 'Otherworld Jing Zilong' on the field to rise to level eight!"

[Jing Zilong from another world, LV5→LV8]

Keiping raised an eyebrow: "Level adjustment card?"

"Yes, this is the final preparation for the arrival of my new power!"

Ye Xing said this and slowly took out a card from his hand.

"This is the first time I've used this new power in public since I gained it. I didn't expect it to be in such a situation."

You Xuan frowned slightly.

What's going on with this posture that looks like it's about to print a card?

“But you are indeed an opponent worthy of my full strength, so watch out for the evolution of the King of Divine Beasts!
I sacrifice the Level 8 'Otherworldly Purple Dragon' on the field and Special Summon it from my hand."

He held the monster card in his hand high above his head, and it seemed as if a storm had already started before he could summon it.

"The agitation of the divine beast shook the earth, and the torrent that spanned time descended—

——Beast God King Barbaros, summon!!!"

The earth shook, and the beast emerged from the storm. Its golden hair shone in the light, as if it was covered with a sacred halo. Its eyes flashed with sharp light, like a sharp blade. The giant sphinx slapped the ground with its claws, and dust and gravel formed a swirling storm.

Beast King Barbaros, summon!
You Xuan glanced at Barbaros' new vest.

Ye Xing has indeed not been idle over the years, and has even printed a new vest for his Ace.

[Beast King-Barbaros, attack power 3000]

"Although this card is level 8, it does not require two sacrifices to be Normal Summoned. You only need to sacrifice monsters with a total level of 8 or above on your field to Special Summon it!"

Ye Xing shouted.

"Also, once per turn, 'Beast King Barbaros' can remove a 'Barbaros' monster in your Graveyard or on the field from play, and destroy up to two cards on your opponent's field!"

Keipi was surprised: "What a powerful ability!"

"Yes, this is the evolution of the King of Divine Beasts. If you can defeat my final trump card, then give it a try!" Ye Xing said, "I will remove the 'King of Divine Beasts - Barbaros' in the cemetery from the game, and destroy the 'Chaos Warrior - Messenger of Creation' and the Gaifuka on the left side of your backfield!"

You Xuan also responded immediately: "Then counter the trap - Heaven's Punishment! By discarding a card in your hand, the effect of the effect monster will be invalidated and destroyed!"

A startle while walking at night.

Is there such a trap hidden in this situation?
His resources have been exhausted, and the Beast King is his trump card and also his last resort. If the Beast King is counterattacked here, he will be completely powerless to recover.

That won't work!

"Counter Trap - Destruction Interference!" Night Walk's backfield also linked up, "Discard a card from your hand, negate the activation of a card with the effect of 'Destroy Monsters on the Field' and destroy it!"

The fierce thunder of the heavenly punishment struck down, but it only struck a layer of transparent destruction shield. Transparent ripples spread along the surface of the shield, and the backlash of the thunder blew the heavenly punishment trap itself into pieces.

The counterattack was successful! "The effect of the Beast King continues to pass!" Pegasus Night Walker shouted, "Destroy the Chaos Warrior and the other face-down card!"

The Beast King's thunder swept across the field, instantly clearing the field on You Xuan's side. The Chaos Warrior exploded under the thunder, and the backfield cover card also flipped and shattered, revealing a "Magic Cylinder".

"And, the card I discarded is the Spell Card 'Compensation Treasure Card'. When this card is sent from hand to grave, draw two more cards from your deck!" (Original card)
"Besides the Heavenly Punishment, there is also a Magic Cylinder. It's really an iron wall formation." Ye Xing said, "But this way, all your defenses will be cleared!"

The professors watching the game also seemed to feel that the outcome was finally decided at this point.

"However, it's amazing that he could be beaten to this extent by Master Tenma," Tiramuk commented, "He's just a student, what a scary brat."

This child will definitely have a bright future.

But the night walk did not relax.

ended?
No, as long as there is life left, you must never let your guard down.

And he could feel that this opponent was not ordinary.

He only dismantled the apparent defense line; the opponent might not have completely lost the means to counterattack.

"Activate the magic card 'Notebook Exchange'!" Ye Xingdao said, "Show each other's hands, and each must choose one of the other's cards to add to their own hands!"

The card professors were stunned.

Isn't this a win already?
Why do we need to deliberately exchange cards?
"Hmm, what a terrible intuition."

You Xuan showed his cards.

Ye Xing narrowed his eyes.

Sure enough, his intuition was correct.

Kite flying robot!

A shield card that can block direct attack damage by discarding it from your hand.

A card professor was surprised: "I have a countermeasure in hand!"

"Master Tianma has even taken this into account."

Night Walk: "Then I will get the 'Kite Robot' from you!"

You Xuan: "Then I'll take the 'Military God's General'."

This is also a card used by Night Walk in the comics. It is a six-star demon with 2200 attack power. But it is actually useless. The reason why I took this card is because I had no choice. This is the only one in Night Walk's hand.
"Even the defense on his hands has been removed. This guy is really something." Keipi muttered.

Then he looked at You Xuan again.

This guy. Is this the end?

Well, it is indeed quite impressive that he could fight that Pegasus Night Walker to such an extent.
"The direct attack of the Beast King - Barbaros Ur!"

Ye Xing raised his hand and shouted.

The decisive blow is also his final attack!
But he had a strange feeling.

Even if we achieve this, such an attack may still be a step too far.

Sure enough, at the moment when the Beast God King's attack was about to hit, a burst of lightning suddenly burst out on You Xuan's half of the field. Like some kind of transparent shield, the magnetic repulsion bounced the lion-headed Beast God King away.

"The effect of 'Super Electromagnetic Turtle' in the Graveyard can only be used once. During the Battle Phase of your opponent's turn, this card is removed from the game, and that Battle Phase is forcibly ended."

Ye Xing let out a long sigh.

For some reason, although he felt a little disappointed that the attack didn't succeed, he didn't feel surprised.

"When was it sent to the cemetery?" Ye Xing asked.

You Xuan: "'Transfiguration Pot'."

"I see." Ye Xing pondered, "So they had already laid out such a deep defense line long ago."

He smiled and shook his head.

"Then my turn is over."
