Sorry, I'm on the Fifth Layer! This Is Stirring the Hornet's Nest!

"I have to say, you're really lucky! This hand is a perfect draw for me!!"

"I truly don't know how I could possibly lose in this situation!"

"Witness the power of a rare card! Hahaha! I'll fuse XYZ."

"This fusion doesn't require a Fusion Spell Card. By banishing 'X-Head Cannon,' 'Y-Dragon Head,' and 'Z-Metal Tank' separately, the fusion can be completed!"

"I can Special Summon 'XYZ-Dragon Cannon' from my Extra Deck!"

"X-Head Cannon" flew up!

"Y-Dragon Head" followed close behind!

"Z-Metal Tank" laid the foundation at the bottom!

They were slowly combining.

Between the links, countless bolts of lightning flashed and streaked!

"It's coming! Chen Jianming's strongest ace! 'XYZ-Dragon Cannon'!"

"As long as this monster appears, there's no way Chen Jianming can lose."

Teacher Fu looked a little excited.

He had seen the effect of "XYZ-Dragon Cannon" before, and it was quite abnormal!

Not to mention, Chen Jianming's opponent was just a weakling who could easily be handled.

Now, Chen Jianming was sure to shine.

And the benefits he would receive would be even greater.

Since the fusion materials were banished and not sent to the graveyard, there would be no further Life Points deducted here.

Inside the duel arena, cheers had already erupted.

After all, this was a rare card, rarely seen during student days.

In the previous match, Chen Jianming hadn't had such a perfect draw, and he hadn't even used "XYZ-Dragon Cannon" to defeat Xu Fei.

This showed that this time, Chen Jianming had started with a perfect draw, and "XYZ-Dragon Cannon" was in his opening hand!

Everyone looked at You Chen with some pity; this guy was too pathetic.

Being used as a stepping stone was bad enough.

But it was also a complete annihilation. Who could endure that?

XYZ-Dragon Cannon

LIGHT Attribute/Level 8/Machine/Fusion

ATK: 2800/DEF: 2600

However, there was no fear visible on You Chen's face; instead, there was a slightly strange expression.

You Chen truly didn't understand what was so scary about such a monster.

To lose so many cards just to achieve a fusion...

It looked incredibly cool and flashy, but in reality, against an "underworld" deck, the disadvantage of losing so many cards was huge.

If it were a sensible choice, it would be better to attack with the three monsters individually.

If the fused monster had some resistance, it would be understandable.

But if it was just like this, it could barely put any pressure on him.

A simple assessment was that it wasn't even as pressured as facing his sister.

Only students would be fooled by such a flashy method.

In reality, it looked good but was impractical.

Chen Jianming could even say that he didn't know how he could lose.

You Chen momentarily didn't understand if the duelists in this world were too weak, or if his own skill level was too far ahead.

He just felt out of place.

But then he remembered the published papers in Kaiba Magazine, which were nothing special, and he immediately understood that the skill level in this world couldn't be called low, just average.

"He actually fused 'XYZ-Dragon Cannon,' this guy is so pitiful."

"The game should be over."

Hua Ningning chuckled and shook her head when she saw this scene.

Chen Jianming raised his arrogant chin, sneered, and pointed a finger, as if victory was already certain: "Activate 'XYZ-Dragon Cannon''s effect!"

"By discarding 1 card from my hand, I can target 1 card on your field and destroy it."

You Chen saw that if his opponent discarded another card, they would only have one card left in their hand.

He couldn't help but feel sorry for him; this was such a massive card disadvantage.

Can you handle it, kid?

Chen Jianming's Life Points continued to drop by 300 LP!

He only had 2500 LP left!

Chen Jianming thought for a long time before finally choosing the face-down card in the middle, a confident smile spreading across his face:

"I'm going to destroy your face-down card in the middle!!"

"Didn't expect that, did you? I also have knowledge of duel psychology. Many people tend to place cards closest to themselves first, which is that middle spot."

"And you did exactly that, proving your dueling behavior is subconscious."

"Another crucial point is that among subconscious actions, the first trap card is often the one you consider most important, the one you want to set and use first."

"Therefore, having determined that your action was subconscious, that card in the middle is naturally the most important of the five!"

When Chen Jianming finished speaking, the entire audience gasped.

"Holy crap! There's a theory like that? I learned something new!"

"Awesome, so you need to study psychology to play cards! No wonder my grades are so bad."

"As expected of Boss Chen from Class Five, he's too strong."

"No, is Boss Chen really taking this so seriously? Isn't he being a bit too cruel to a noob?"

The students in Class Five were already cheering non-stop.

In Class Six, Zhang Cuihua's old face flushed.

Because he was exactly that kind of person, and everything said was perfectly accurate.

Damn it, is this what a strong person is like?

So proficient in psychology.

In contrast, You Chen's expression grew even stranger.

"Ah..."

"Is that really how it is?"

You Chen shook his head, having no choice but to flip over the middle card.

The moment that card was revealed, the smiles across the field instantly froze, and eyes widened, as if they had seen a ghost.

Chen Jianming's old face immediately flushed, and he shivered!

Emotion Value +588!

The more he had boasted earlier, the more awkward he felt now.

No other reason than he had destroyed the one card that should absolutely not have been destroyed.

Stirring the Hornet's Nest!

At this moment, the tables turned, and the students in Class Six revealed expressions of pleasant surprise.

Zhang Cuihua even jumped up in excitement.

"Ahaha!! I'm dying of laughter, he actually destroyed Stirring the Hornet's Nest! As expected of someone who studies psychology, among five cards, that's such a tough choice, and you still picked it!"

Zhang Cuihua's taunt made Chen Jianming's face burn, and the hand holding his cards trembled.

"How could this be!" Chen Jianming couldn't quite understand.

At this moment, You Chen slowly began to speak: "Actually, everything you said is correct."

"However, if my subconscious action is a Fifth Layer subconscious, then your psychological research will, on the contrary, be outmaneuvered by my Fifth Layer consciousness."

"As duelists, is there really anyone who still uses a First Layer consciousness as their subconscious?"

"One must surely train themselves to habitually duel using Fifth Layer thinking."

You Chen's words instantly elevated the impression others had of him.

Many even had the illusion:

Could a noob actually say something like this?

A Fifth Layer consciousness, as the subconscious!

That could trap the thought processes of a great number of duelists.

This was completely sound, and even opened up new ways of thinking for some duelists.

It made people involuntarily exclaim in admiration.

For this, the one most deeply affected was undoubtedly Hua Ningning.

Her bright eyes trembled slightly, because she had also felt this point from Mu Qingyu.
