Chapter 173 Endless Equipment Assault
Catapult Turtle, summon!

You Xuan frowned slightly.

Wow, even the catapult turtle came out.

Needless to say, this thing is a legendary monster that has left a strong mark in the history of Yu-Gi-Oh. Not only is it known as a common monster used by Yugi Muto, but it is also active in various acrobatic FTK (first-hand kill) routines, and is the soul card of countless acrobatic players.

"By the effect of 'Gem Sword', this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, and I draw a card from my Deck." (Original card)
It is also the original equipment card used in the first battle between Manjome and Yugen.

"Then there's the effect of the ricochet turtle." Yue Xing said, "This card can directly deal damage to your opponent equal to half the attack power of the sacrificed monster by offering it as a tribute." (Old version effect)

The key to this effect is that it doesn't happen once per round, which is why it becomes the key to all kinds of acrobatic one-turn kills.

Of course, this effect was harmonized in 2014. The new version of the effect has a limit of once per round, which is greatly weakened.

There's certainly no reason for this world's Catapult Turtles to have that kind of limitation.

"Oh no, 'Messenger of Peace' can prevent battle damage and battle destruction, so it uses effect damage instead. Yugen's HP is 2000, and Mr. Tenma has plenty of ammunition on the field."

Misawa's expression suddenly became solemn.

"This is the legendary duelist." Asuka couldn't help but feel nervous for Yugen. "Even the 'Messenger of Peace' can't stop his attack rhythm."

As he said this, he looked at You Xuan with some concern.

Can you handle this move?
"First, the 'Power of Unity'!" Yue Xingdao said, "Use the 'Power of Unity' as a sacrifice to deal half the damage of the attack power."

The power of unity still has an attack power of 3700, and just this one hit will cause considerable damage!
But You Xuan snapped his fingers.

"Then counter the trap - Heavenly Punishment!" You Xuan said, "Discard a card from your hand, negate the effect of the effect monster and destroy it!"

He picked up another card and discarded it into the graveyard. Thick dark clouds gathered over the field. The chaotic and deep lead-gray clouds seemed to have absorbed all the darkness. Lightning flashed, countless silver snakes danced wildly, and divine thunder tore out from the dark clouds, carrying the majesty and terror of God, and blew the catapult turtle into pieces with one blow.

"Even this was prevented. Awesome."

Yue Xing raised his arms to block the impact and dust and smiled slightly.

"However, since I summoned 'Catapult Turtle' this turn, I activate the Spell Card 'Treasure Card of Heaven and Earth' from my hand!" (Original card)
Another magic card appeared in front of Yue Xing.

"During the turn you performed a Super Summon, draw two cards from your deck. However, you cannot use the cards you drew this turn, and if you can set them face down, you must set at least one of them face down."

Moon drew two more cards.

"Then activate this spell on the field again."

He waved his hand.

"Magic Card 'Armed Reincarnation'!" (Original Card)
As the magic card flipped over, several equipment cards appeared on his field!
Misawa was shocked: "It's the second one!?"

You Xuan was also surprised for a moment, but soon understood. For a card like this that is key to the tactical strategy of a deck, it is impossible to invest in only one card if conditions permit.

"I don't think I need to repeat the effect." Yue Xing said, "Resurrect the 'Power of Unity', 'Power of the Mage', and 'Gem Sword' in the graveyard as equipment monsters with attack and defense power of 500!"

[Power of Unity, Attack Power 500]

[Mage's Power, Attack Power 500]

[Gem Sword, Defense 500]

"And they gain the effects of their respective equipment, and their attack power increases!" Yue Xingdao "There are five monsters on the field, so the attack power of the power of unity increases by 4,000 points!

I have four equipment cards in the front field and one cover card in the back field, a total of five magic traps. The attack power of the magician's power will increase the number of magic traps on the field by 500, which is an increase of 2500! "[Power of Unity, attack power 500 → attack power 4500]

[Mage's Power, attack power 500 → attack power 3000]

This time, the Jade Sword, which has the lowest attack power, is in defense mode.

"Then I will set three more cards to the backfield!" Yue Xing shouted, "At this moment, because the number of magic and trap cards on the field has increased, each card will increase the attack power of the magician's power by another 500, for a total increase of 1500!"

[Mage's Power, attack power 3000 → attack power 4500]

"In an instant, we're back to this formation." Misawa took a deep breath, "There are two more monsters with 4,500 attack power."

Fortunately, the battle phase of this round has passed, and with the protection of the "Messenger of Peace", Yue Xing is temporarily unable to launch any more attacks.

Asuka didn't say anything, but she was thinking the same thing as Misawa.

The legendary duelist is so terrifying!
Then his gaze couldn't help but shift to You Xuan.

He looked the same as usual, with no discernible difference.

This was something she had noticed a long time ago. You Xuan always had an inexplicable calmness in duels, no matter who he faced.

Whether it was an expert, a rookie, or a legend, it seemed that they were all merely “opponents in the duel” to him. There was neither tension nor passion in his duels.

There's a weird feeling like "I just played the cards randomly, and somehow I won inexplicably."

Therefore, many people in the academy, including Asuka, always felt that he had never really done anything to anyone.

Asuka has always been like everyone else, thinking that this is his calmness based on his own strength and absolute confidence. Maybe he doesn't think that any opponent he encounters in the academy is worth his full effort.

But now it seems that he is also like this when facing an opponent of this level.
"Draw a card on my turn." You Xuan said, "The moment I entered the preparation phase, the effect of 'Nephthys Phoenix God' in the graveyard that was destroyed last turn was activated.

The Phoenix God is destroyed and sent to the graveyard during its next preparation phase, and is reborn from the graveyard!"

Yue Xing's expression changed slightly: "Nephthys Phoenix God? But when?"

Then he suddenly realized and remembered the card in his hand that was blown up in the last round, which he was a little concerned about.

"The card that the prayer destroys"

"Yes, the card destroyed by the Prayer last round was 'Nephthys Phoenix God'." You Xuan said, "And because it was destroyed by effect instead of discarded, the effect of Phoenix God can be triggered.

Transform into the divine flame that burns everything and be reborn in Nirvana! "

Tianma Yuexing frowned: "It is possible to destroy the regeneration ability from the hand card."

The blazing divine flames gathered in the sky, red like the burning sunset glow, or like molten iron in a furnace. The blazing beams of light pierced the sky, descending as if transcending the boundaries of time and space, transforming into the form of a burning divine bird.

[Nephthys Phoenix God, attack power 2400]

Misawa immediately understood something: "That's right! Phoenix God can destroy all magic traps on the field, and although the equipment card called by Mr. Tianma is used as a monster, it is still a magic card at the same time."

Asuka also understood: "The power of the Phoenix God is the nemesis of this equipment combination!"

You Xuan raised his arm, and a divine bird wrapped in flames burned fiercely behind him.

"When Phoenix God's effect is used to successfully revive, all Magic and Trap Cards on the opponent's field are destroyed!"
