Yu-Gi-Oh!: The mainstream has returned, and the locals are crying.

As soon as You Ye finished speaking, the Red-Eyes Dragon Knight unleashed a slash, destroying the Thunder Beast Dragon. Due to the Dark Duel, Chen Honglei was blasted away by the shockwave and fell to the ground.

"Azeus the Thunder? A Tier 12 Xyz Monster that can be summoned with a Battle-class attack? Its effect doesn't target and sends the entire field to the Graveyard? Senior, you have such a trump card?"

Inside the observation room, everyone was stunned by the appearance of the Sky Thunder.

What kind of ridiculous card effect is this? When there's no information gap, it's practically a game-changing tool!

What kind of destruction resistance or non-targeting resistance is that? It's completely useless!

Moreover, as long as you can use a deck that can use Xyz Summon, you can use it. Is there any reason not to include it?

Despite everyone's shock, apart from Luo Hao and Wang Cheng, several family heads led by Bai Lingtian saw that the Tian Ting ship wasn't very popular and didn't want to exchange it for him.

None of their families specialize in Xyz Summoning, so it wouldn't be very useful. Luo Hao and Wang Cheng are different; one is backed by a world-class power, and the other by a national-level one. What kind of talent don't they have?

So the two contacted each other again, asking the big shot to bring a few cards. If Youye was willing, even if they didn't trade, it would be profitable for them to communicate with him!

"Is this your trump card?" Looking at the scene before You Ye, Chen Honglei got up from the ground and said in a deep voice.

"Hidden cards? When did you think you saw my hidden cards?" You Ye found Chen Honglei increasingly amusing. For the past few years, he had been trying to access the real card pool and had collected a lot of general-purpose cards.

If it weren't for the fact that the Grandmaster Duel is too unfair, preventing him from obtaining cards of his own field, and that he could only obtain one original card from cards that are not double-banned or limited and from one field, he would have already collected most of the Pearl Tears and Netherworld Pearl Tears.

Keep in mind, this is five years! Five years! A full fifteen cards were designated! Now, with the Bubble, G, Little Night, Effect Concealer, Gray, and Skybreaker, how many cards do we actually have? Less than half!

Chen Honglei: ? ? ?

"Isn't the Sky Thunder your trump card?" Chen Honglei was dumbfounded.

"Of course not. Take you for example, I've drawn a card that's very effective against Thunder Dragon, but unfortunately, you probably won't be able to see it." Youye smiled mysteriously, without explaining further, and simply said slowly, "I'll set a card down, turn is over, it's your turn."

"Don't underestimate me. No matter what you prepare, the advantage is on my side. My Thunder Dragon is not afraid of your Divine Stele!" Chen Honglei said without giving up.

So what if Yu Ye is strong? So what if his trump card is strong? He believes that the compatibility of the cards cannot be overcome. As long as Yu Ye banishes a Thunder Dragon monster from his deck once, he can turn the tide.

“My turn to draw cards!” Chen Honglei said.

"During your draw phase, I set the Quick-Play Spell Card 'Spring Breeze of Nature' to Special Summon a Nature Monster from my Graveyard and hand!"

After drawing his card, Yu Ye spoke up because he wanted to reach the main stage.

"A combo of camellia and sunflower?" Chen Honglei naturally knew You Ye's plan, so he followed up with the chain: "I use C2 chain to discard the Thunder Dragon in my hand and activate Thunder Dragon."

Yu Ye didn't follow up with the chain again, and the effect came first: c2 Lightning Dragon Lightning Dragon's effect added Lightning Dragon Lightning Dragon from the deck to the hand; c1 Camellia's effect sent Sunflower to the graveyard.

After that, neither side had any objections, and the process moved on to the first major stage.

"The second effect of my [Thunder Dragon Fusion] in the Graveyard can be used to banish it and add 1 Thunder-Type monster from the Deck to the hand." After Chen Honglei finished speaking, he looked at You Ye, who simply extended his hand, indicating that you were welcome to join him.

"With the effect of [Thunder Dragon Fusion], I've added [Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon] from my deck to my hand!"

"Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon's effect: I will Special Summon it by banishing the Light-attribute Thunder Dragon and the Dark-attribute Mega Thunder Dragon from my Graveyard. (No time limit)"

"Because of the banishment of a card, the effect of Shadow is activated. It banishes one card each from your field and graveyard without targeting. Then, with the effect of Camellia (C2), since you Special Summon a monster, I can Special Summon one Nature-type monster from my graveyard."

Without any hesitation, You Ye followed the two chains.

Seeing You Ye follow the chain, Chen Honglei froze as if he had seen something unbelievable.

In his mind, there was no need to use the effect of Cheng Ying as quickly as You Ye could; if he were to use it, he would use the Divine Stele for a quick attack.

Because regardless of whether he uses the Divine Stele Quick Attack or not, he will have to skip the battle phase in his next turn, so wouldn't it be more profitable to use the Divine Stele Quick Attack?

Because of this, I banished Super Thunder Dragon and Thunder God Dragon, but I didn't banish any cards with graveyard effects from the graveyard!

"Why? Don't you have any Radiant Flame?" he asked, puzzled.

"Yes!" You Ye naturally understood what he was talking about, looking at him with the same eyes that looked at an idiot: "You have four cards in your hand, two Thunder Dragons and one Lightning Dragon face up, and only one face down card. Why would I use Radiant Flame to destroy your monster and banish your deck, just so you can trigger the effect of the Thunder Dragon monster?"

"Or is it because of the self-restraint from jumping to a higher battle rank next round? If so, wouldn't it be better for me to use flowers and get two tri-color Kang?"

Chen Honglei was stunned. Was there a problem with You Ye's answer? No problem!

He was wrong! He tried to think of You Ye using the mindset of a Xuan-level duelist; his approach was flawed from the very beginning!

"I activate the Spell Card [Thunder Dragon Fusion]." After a while, looking at the only moving point in his hand, Chen Honglei chose to use it.

Whether it's this round or the next, Youye will never allow his Thunder Dragon to succeed in its fusion.

But after thinking for a while, he made a decision: Yu Ye directly discarded the mole cricket in his hand and activated the effect of the Red-Eyes Dragon Knight.

Effect resolution: c2 Red-Eyes Dragon Knight's effect discards one card from your hand to negate and destroy Thunder Dragon Fusion, and its ATK increases by 1000; c1 Thunder Dragon Fusion negates and destroys.

"I choose to end my turn." Having exhausted all other options, Chen Honglei chose to end his turn.

After Yuya draws a card during her turn, she chooses to link Sunflower and Anaconda to summon Yuya, then enters a self-restraint phase, ending at the end of her turn.

When it was Chen Honglei's turn, he looked at Xiao Ye, Tian Ting Hao, Long Mo Dao, and Cheng Ying on the field and understood that if he did not struggle and allow You Ye to use the Divine Stele Quick Attack, this dark duel would end and he would die!

With that in mind, he clenched his fist and then drew a card.

Neither side had any objections, and we reached the first key stage.

"I banish the Thunder Dragon Fusion from my Graveyard, add Thunder Dragon from my Deck to my hand, and Special Summon it by banishing the LIGHT Thunder Bird Dragon and DARK Thunder Dragon from my Graveyard!"

"The effects of the banished Thunderbird Dragon and Thunder Dragon start to self-chain, I choose c1 Thunder Dragon's search effect; c2 Thunderbird Dragon's swap effect."

"A last-ditch effort?" Youye murmured, watching his movements. He then followed up with a chain reaction, knowing he wouldn't give the enemy a chance.

"My C3 Chain Shadow effect banishes one card from the field and one from the graveyard without targeting; my C4 Camellia effect Special Summons a Nature Monster from the graveyard."

Effects that occur later but are dealt with first: c4 Camellia's effect Special Summons Sunflower from the Graveyard; c3 Shadow Banishes Cosmic Cyclone from the Graveyard and Thunder Dragon from the Field; c2 Thunderbird Dragon's effect Returns four cards from your hand to the Deck and draws four; c1 Thunder Dragon's effect Fusion Adds Thunder Dragon to your hand.

After the chain reaction, looking at his hand, Chen Honglei felt a glimmer of hope.

"I pay 1000 LP to target your Divine Fountain on the field and activate the Spell Card [Cosmic Cyclone]!"

Just when he thought Youye was about to recover, he discovered a problem: the cosmic whirlwind had passed through, and the Spring of the Divine Stele had been excluded.

"Why aren't you looking?! This is a spring, the Spring of the Divine Stele. How can your Divine Stele Axis operate without the Spring of the Divine Stele?" Chen Honglei looked at You Ye in disbelief.

He didn't understand why this was unacceptable. Losing the spring meant losing the support of the divine monument's magic; they might lose the duel!

"Because it's unnecessary," You Ye said calmly.

With a pure Thunder Dragon deck plus a few counter cards, Dragon Sorcerer's Shadow Night on my field, and a Thunderclap with one material, I'm guaranteed to finish them off every turn. Why would I need to protect the fountain?!

"There's no need." Chen Honglei was completely numb, his eyes filled with despair.

He knew he had lost; he had been completely crushed throughout the entire match, and even if Youye hadn't lost any points, he still had lost!

Realizing this, he was already in despair and began to move around wildly.

First, she used Black Hole to destroy all the cards on the field, but Yuya protected herself and Skybreaker with Saya's effect; then she activated Thunder Dragon Fusion, and unsurprisingly, it was countered; finally, she set a monster to end the turn.

In Youye's turn, the main phase involved the Red Mage bombing monsters, and then the Red Mage, with an attack power of 4,000, along with Chengying's two punches, took down Chen Honglei, thus ending the duel.

Because of the Dark Duel, the City Duel Final, which was originally supposed to be a best-of-three match, became a best-of-three match, and he won!

After the duel ended, You Ye obtained Chen Honglei's field. Why didn't he get any others? As a servant of the Zeng family, he naturally didn't have any initial capital.

However, a table immediately appeared in front of You Ye. Was this the Zeng family's complete card pool? He began to examine the cards in the table.

"It's over. There's really no such thing as restraint in front of Senior You Ye." It was Chang Xingge who spoke.

The others nodded silently. It was an overwhelming victory, as always. From beginning to end, it seemed that Chen Honglei was starting to put up a fight, but could he really?

By the end of the night, Youye still had four cards in his hand. To be precise, from the very beginning when he started with the top card, Youye never had fewer than four cards in his hand.

Apart from Mo Wang and Sun Ce, everyone present knew how well You Ye utilized his cards; four cards in hand were enough to overwhelm Chen Honglei.

"Huh, the duel is over, senior? Why aren't you coming out yet?" Bai Lingtian was puzzled as he watched You Ye remain in the duel room after his victory, not leaving.

"It's probably because of the Dark Duel. A mere Earth-level duelist couldn't possibly leverage the power of a senior. The Zeng family probably even paid out cards, and several original cards at that." The speaker was Wang Cheng, the director of the Duel Inspectorate, who clearly had some understanding of this matter.

"The Zeng family really lost everything this time. They spent a lot of resources to raise a Xuan-level duelist to the Di-level in just three days, only to have him die. They also lost their cards. They must be feeling the pinch," Bai Lingtian said with a laugh.

“Yes, the key is the cards. Senior Youye’s eye will definitely not take some inefficient cards. I don’t know when the Zeng family will be able to make up for this loss.” Sun Ce also smiled from the side, and Mo Wang nodded slightly beside him.

After You Ye agreed in the morning, in a sense, the Sun and Mo families were on You Ye's side. They would not be completely hostile to the Zeng family, but their relationship would certainly not be as peaceful as before.

Therefore, the Zeng family was naturally very happy that they had suffered a setback.

"Senior, please leave him in the duel room for now. Wang Cheng and I will be leaving for a while. Please make yourselves at home." After watching for a few minutes, Luo Hao gestured to Wang Cheng with his eyes. Wang Cheng understood immediately and then said to the others in the spectator room.

"Director Wang, Minister Luo, rest assured, we will ensure that nothing goes wrong with our seniors while we are here." Bai Lingtian glanced at the two of them curiously, but did not ask any further questions, only making a promise.

Wang Cheng and Luo Hao glanced at Mu Ning and then quietly left.

Their reassurance in leaving wasn't about their family, but about Munin. If anything happened, Munin, as a Night Elf, would surely stand in front of Night Elf.

Meanwhile, the Dark Duelists received news of Chen Honglei's defeat from the Zeng family.

Put on the shelf

Well, I won't try to play the victim or talk about my tragic experiences.

The author's previous book was also a Yu-Gi-Oh! title, well, not exactly a hit, and it did alright. It was probably one of the best-selling books on the other site this year, although it faltered at 600,000 words (bitter smile).

This book's concept clearly didn't quite work out. I wrote a stupid plot before it was published, and after deleting 10,000 words of my drafts, it felt slightly better. I don't know the specifics, but I could tell from the large amount of reading I did. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it's unlikely to get any major recommendations later on. That's why I chose to publish it. There's not much else to say. The author lacks experience and won't write the same terrible plot again. I hope everyone will understand.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I will update at least 6,000 words daily. If the first subscription exceeds 1,000, I will update at least 10,000 words daily on Saturdays and Sundays. As a part-time worker, I really can't update 10,000 words daily during work hours. My last book was 8,000 words daily, but the ideas and culture are not quite right for me, so I can't update 8,000 words daily anymore.

That's all, thank you for reading!
