With Three Mirror Walls, Even My Dog Can Reach King Overnight

But in truth, even without bricking, he would have had a hard time beating Lei Hu's deck. Axe King aimed for a high floor: no bricking, able to summon a monster with a single card without losing card advantage. Naturally, its ceiling could not compare to Lei Hu's.

That was why Axe King decks paired with Mirror Wall had been popular in Duel Links for a while!

There had even been an obscure legendary saying back then.

"With three Mirror Walls, even my dog can reach King overnight."

Axe King was all about avoiding bricking while gambling on the other side bricking.

If you bricked while your opponent did not, the outcome was obvious.

Naturally, Zhang Cuihua lost.

And it was a crushing defeat.

Teacher Fang Qing could barely stand watching any longer.

She raised a hand to cover her eyes and shook her head.

These roster choices had naturally not been made on a whim.

They were the final selections determined through previous test matches.

But wasn't Yu-Gi-Oh! exactly like this?

You never knew when you would brick.

After all, this was not an anime full of topdecking dogs.

You Chen yawned.

Well, that settled it. Zhang Cuihua had failed to show off, and Hua Ningning's impression of him had only gotten worse.

No, it would be more accurate to say she had never paid attention to him at all.

You Chen looked over and realized that Hua Ningning was not watching the duel whatsoever.

It apparently was not worth her attention.

There was one more duel: Xu Fei against Chen Jianming.

The two were roughly equal in strength.

After a close match, Chen Jianming ultimately claimed victory.

It could be said that he won by the narrowest margin.

The students of Class Five erupted in cheers again.

"Just as expected! No surprises at all. Mu Qingyu was the only one who scored a point this time. The rest were completely outclassed."

"This proves that Class Five is stronger. That is simply a fact."

"Sorry, but we won again!"

Teacher Fu of Class Five was a thin-looking man.

Though he said he was sorry, his face was full of smug satisfaction.

What could Teacher Fang Qing say?

When you lost, even drinking water felt like a mistake.

So there was no point in saying anything at a time like this.

You Chen was not surprised by the result. He got to his feet and said, "It's over, right? Then I'll head back."

Staying here was truly a waste of time.

He might as well spend that time reading the group chat and see if he could pick up any useful information.

That group chat was, naturally, the spirit group chat.

The event was not over yet, and many people were still cheering.

Normally, no one would dare to simply stand up and leave.

It would seem disrespectful, and a little like they could not accept defeat.

Thus, You Chen standing up made him stand out sharply from the crowd.

Naturally, Teacher Fu of Class Five noticed him as well.

He narrowed his eyes at You Chen.

"This student, I know it is difficult for you to accept that Class Six lost, but you should know how to respect others. You are leaving before this is even over?"

With those words, Teacher Fu shifted the target onto You Chen.

What a fine move—concentrating fire.

You Chen was not flustered. "It is not because Class Six lost. Isn't it already over? Why can't I leave? Is Teacher planning to treat us to dinner or something?"

"That would be nice."

That line cleverly dissolved the target Teacher Fu had just placed on him.

Teacher Fu chuckled.

"A dinner? Is that supposed to be a consolation prize? Hahaha."

That remark made the Class Five students even more excited.

You Chen had long since grown accustomed to this. He knew Teacher Fu's personality clearly from his previous life: arrogant and overbearing!

"Teacher Fu is awesome!"

"Well said!"

"Heh, this feels great."

In contrast, the Class Six students looked furious, glaring fiercely at Class Five.

Yet there was nothing they could do.

That was just how it was. If you lost in Duel World, you had no right to speak.

"Someone who didn't know better might think your class won a world championship."

"Sorry, I'm not mocking you. It's just that your smug expressions made me a little confused."

You Chen scratched his head and said that with an apologetic expression.

Yet those words made the smiles on the Class Five students' faces freeze, and they became displeased.

After all, he claimed he was not mocking them, but everyone could hear it.

Emotion Value +1880!

That was a huge wave of displeased Emotion Value from the Class Five students.

It was undoubtedly an unexpected delight for You Chen.

"Not convinced?! Looks like you really can't accept losing."

"Fine, fine, fine. What's your name? How about this—pick any one of those three students from earlier."

"As long as you win, so what if I treat your entire Class Six to dinner?"

Teacher Fu was displeased as well and spoke with a cold sneer.

"Wouldn't that be inappropriate?" You Chen hesitated.

It was not that he was afraid. It was mainly because there seemed to be no benefit in it, which made the duel rather meaningless.

At that moment, Fang Qing stepped forward.

You Chen was somewhat moved. At a critical moment, Teacher Fang Qing was still reliable.

"Go for it, You Chen!"

"Although you most likely won't win, it's okay to lose. At the very least, try to let us see more tactics. That way, we'll have a better chance in future duel training."

Fang Qing's words.

Were undoubtedly even more punchable than Teacher Fu's.

You Chen nearly wanted to defect to Class Five.

Listen to that. Was that something a human should say?

But on second thought, he had earned so much Emotion Value from just one sentence earlier.

If he dueled now, he would undoubtedly be able to gain even more Emotion Value.

Thus, You Chen figured it out and agreed.

Mainly because Emotion Value was simply too tempting.

He did not care much about anything else.

"Fine."

"Who is the strongest in Class Five?"

You Chen was mainly thinking that challenging the strongest would create a greater contrast, meaning he could naturally obtain more Emotion Value.

Little did he know that this sentence stunned everyone present.

Whether they were students from Class Five or Class Six, all of them were utterly dumbfounded.

Could they have heard wrong?

When they came back to their senses, the Class Five students could not help bursting into laughter.

You Chen laughed as well.

Because there was truly a lot of Emotion Value.

In that instant, another 1,550 Emotion Value came in.

It seemed that being a clown could get him soaring too.

But was the average share of group Emotion Value a little too low?

There were over forty people in a class, so why was it only a little over a thousand Emotion Value?

Class Six had only contributed a little over eight hundred Emotion Value as well.

No wonder Class Six was inferior to Class Five.

Even their emotional feedback was so weak.

Mu Qingyu herself had not been paying attention to this farce.

Yet from the moment You Chen accepted the duel, she frowned in puzzlement.

Because she truly could not understand why he had accepted it.

You Chen's dueling ability was below average in the class.

This action was no different from courting death.

And You Chen did not seem like such an irrational person.

"Fine, fine, fine! Student, regardless of the circumstances, you are at least a real man!"

"Chen Jianming! Go!"

Upon hearing this, Teacher Fu actually came to appreciate You Chen's courage somewhat.

Chen Jianming stood up, curling his lips into a smile. He even reached up to touch his slicked-back hair, stiff with gel.

With an unbearably smug grin, he said, "Sister Hua! Looks like I'm the lucky one. How many seconds do you think this toy over there can last?"

Hua Ningning did not respond. In her eyes, You Chen had nothing outstanding about him. If there was anything at all, it was only that his somewhat handsome face was worth a glance.

As for his behavior, it was no different from those ordinary yet overconfident guys who could not figure out their own level of dueling ability.

So he was not worth paying attention to.

I wonder how many readers are playing MD. Climbing the ranks in MD is seriously manipulative. The moment you get a win streak, you are guaranteed to go second every match. If you do not rank down, getting ten second turns in a row is completely normal. Once you rank down, it gives you first turn again. Often, after ten second turns, getting first turn is when you are the most annoyed. I never expected not to be driven crazy by opponents, but by this manipulative system instead.
