Chapter 16 You Xuan does all kinds of evil things
"It's my turn!"

Ryuzaki drew the card and immediately showed it.

"Magic Card 'Angel's Charity'. Draw three cards from your deck, then discard two cards from your hand."

He changed his hand and then immediately took out the other two cards.

First, one of them was directly placed on the duel disk.

"I Special Summon this card, Galloping Raptor!"

[Swiftfoot Raptor, attack power 1400]

"Oh, Ryuuzaki is a Special Summon right from the start!"

The commentator Xiaodu gave timely explanations to the audience.

"Sprint Raptor is a monster card that can be Special Summoned directly from the hand. However, when using this ability to summon, there is a side effect that the opponent can select a monster in their graveyard to Special Summon."

"Of course, the decision of whether to use this effect lies with the opponent. And now it's only the first round, and You Xuan doesn't have a single monster in his graveyard. So naturally he can't use this effect," commentator Sasaki also added.

Ryuzaki continued to show the second card: "Then the second one, Special Summon 'Sprint Raptor' No. 2!"

[Swiftfoot Raptor, attack power 1400]

Ryuzaki has not been idle during these days when he has been out of the public eye. Although he is now called the "legendary duelist", it is nothing more than the reputation he had with Yugi Muto, Katsuya Jonouchi and others. Especially Jonouchi, when he first met him, he looked down on that mortal, but now that time has passed, he has fallen to the point where he has to rely on the record of "being beaten up by Jonouchi" to make a living.

In order to get back to the top, he specifically improved his tactics and looked for ideas that best suited his dragons and dinosaurs.

In the end, he locked onto the suppressive tactics represented by quick breaks, which were typified by Seto Kaiba, the most famous dragon rider in the world today.

"Dragons are the most powerful creatures. Dragon riders must use their utmost strength to suppress them completely!"

Ryuzaki shouted.

"And the swift and quick attack is the most suitable rhythm for dragons. Feel the power of dragons! In battle, use the first 'Sprint Raptor' to attack the covered monster first!"

The first dinosaur charged. The monsters covering Youxuan's backcourt flipped open, revealing a small red mechanical creature.

[Mecha unit peacekeeper, defense strength 400]

Mecha, an old deck born in the DM era, first appeared in the DM spin-off comic "Yu-Gi-Oh! R". Although it was born early in this world, it still has quite good combat power in the current environment.

The mecha with a defense of only 400 was easily defeated. You Xuan calmly sent it to the graveyard and said, "The effect of 'Mecha Unit Peace Guard' is activated.

When this card on the field is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, you can add 1 Allied Monster from your Deck to your hand.

He pulled a card from his deck and showed it to Ryuzaki.

"I add the Allied Monster 'Mecha Unit·Mechanical Skeleton' to my hand."

"Mecha?" Long Qi frowned slightly.

This is a deck series that You Xuan has never used in previous competitions.

"Intentionally saving it for the finals? Does that mean that the deck he has used so far is not his main deck? Are you so confident?"

Ryuzaki was a little surprised. There were duelists who deliberately used non-main decks to hide their abilities, but it was rare to see someone who didn't show his true abilities until the finals.

After all, a duel is a one-off battle, and there is no chance to change decks midway. If someone holds back on using their main deck and ends up letting the opponent steal their base and eliminate them directly, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger and ending up being a real pig, then they will be laughed at in the circle for thousands of years.

"But it doesn't matter. It makes no difference under the absolute power of our dinosaurs." Ryuzaki shouted, "The battle continues. Use the 'Sprint Raptor' No. 2 to attack directly!"

"Flip the cover card."

A trap popped up in front of You Xuan.

"Trap Card - Magic Cylinder!"

Ryuzaki was surprised: "It's actually a magic cylinder?" The commentator Sasaki was also excited: "Oh, it's actually a magic cylinder, the trump card trap used in the Duel King Muto Yugi's deck!
It can invalidate the attack of the attacking monster and inflict damage equal to the attack power of the monster to the opponent! "

The Magic Cylinder is a card that is obviously a strong card in the current 4,000 HP environment, so the market price is not low, but it is not rare in the GX era. Although it has not had many official appearances in the anime, it has played a supporting role several times. When building a deck in the dormitory, you can see it in the Judai deck, Marufuji Sho used it when playing against passers-by, and even in some other passers-by decks.

This is also one of the few cards that You Xuan's predecessor worked hard on and he thought was pretty good.

Ryuzaki took the damage from the counterattack head-on, his body swayed, and he let out a slight sound.

[Ryuzaki, LP 4000 → LP 2600]

"The player who got the first blood in the final was Fujiki Yugen!" said commentator Xiaodu, "I never expected that he would deal heavy damage to Dinosaur Ryuuzaki in the first round!

Does it seem like even Ryuzaki has to take some real action?"

Long Qi snorted and didn't take it seriously.

This level was within his expectations. He had long known that the opponent was the type who loved all kinds of traps, and the fact that they quickly sent out two low-star dinosaurs to attack was not without the intention of stepping into a trap.

Although pits are annoying, you can't just avoid them. After all, they'll always be there if you don't step on them. You can't just sit there and wait for the wind to blow until the end of time, right?

It only took a 1400-level low-level monster to step on a powerful trap like the magic cylinder, and the result was acceptable.

"Then the battle phase is over." Ryuzaki continued, "I will then use the two 'Sprint Raptors' as sacrifices for a higher-level summon!

Break out from the endless darkness, and appear here at my call.

——Level 7, Triangle Dragon, summon!"

The two swift velociraptors disappeared in the vortex of air flow, their golden claws and fangs extended, and the huge dragon's footsteps fell. The entire venue seemed to tremble under the realistic visual images and physical effects.

[Triangle Dragon, attack power 2850]

"Triangle Dragon!" said the commentator Xiaodu, "Not only did it launch a fierce two-hit combo in the first round, but it also went a step further and summoned such a powerful upper-level monster!

It seems that this is also Ryuzaki's recognition of the challenger's strength, which means that he will fight with all his strength! "

The magic dragon appeared, and Ryuzaki stood in the summoned storm. He felt that his whole body was full of momentum and even his height seemed to have increased.

"See? This is my new dragon, the Triceratops! It's stronger than the Red-Eyes and Evil Knight Dragons that were taken away from me. It's the symbol of my rebirth from the ashes!"

"Well"

You Xuan originally wanted to say that you are just an ordinary person with seven stars.

But on second thought, in that era when there were no derivative cards of the Red-Eyes series, Red-Eyes and Evil Knight Dragon seemed to require two sacrifices of mortal bones.
Okay, I can't really argue with that.

but
He snapped his fingers.

"Flip the face-up card. Trap Card - Bottomless Pitfall. When your opponent summons a monster, change that monster to face-down Defense Position, and the position cannot be changed forever."

To put it simply, it is——

——I will send your three-cornered dragon directly to the underworld!

The majestic three-dimensional dragon hadn't even stood firmly when it slipped and fell into the huge pit and was motionless.

Ryuzaki: “.”

Two commentators: “.”

Looking at Long Qi on the opposite side, who was still maintaining a summoning pose and looked a bit desolate when the cold wind blew, You Xuan suddenly had an inexplicable illusion.

I have the illusion that I have done all the bad things.
