She had not understood before why he could see through the other person's thoughts so clearly.
But You Chen's words suddenly enlightened her!
So that was it—this was Mu Qingyu's advantage.
And the rookie she had looked down on just now had actually said something that opened her eyes. In an instant, she realized that You Chen was far from simple.
Mu Qingyu's eyes also flashed with a hint of surprise from nearby.
"I didn't expect him to understand that too."
After that little interlude,
Teacher Fu seemed somewhat unsettled.
The duel continued.
As for why a mill deck ran Stirring the Hornet's Nest—
Underworld Decks all feared destruction.
So naturally, they needed to include cards that could prevent it.
However, since a card had been sent to the Graveyard, You Chen's Life Points would also decrease by 300 LP!
4200 LP remaining.
Chen Jianming choosing not to destroy Lure of the Dead was something You Chen had not expected.
Clearly, he had not realized the importance of it?
You Chen did not waste any words and held Stirring the Hornet's Nest as he said:
"This Set Card can only be activated when it leaves the field due to an opponent's effect and is sent to the Graveyard or banished. Special Summon 1 monster from the Deck or Extra Deck."
Chen Jianming narrowed his eyes and sneered. "What Fusion Monster can you possibly bring out to deal with my XYZ-Dragon Cannon?"
You Chen nodded. "It really is strong, so I have no choice."
"To deal with your XYZ-Dragon Cannon."
"Come out, my Tamashi, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!"
Everyone: "?????"
Chen Jianming: "!!!!!"
You Chen's words undoubtedly caught everyone completely off guard.
How had Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon become his Tamashi?
Wasn't that way too shameless?
Wasn't he afraid that Long Kai, the Blue-Eyes Deck user, would come looking to settle the score?
At the same time, everyone became even more curious about what Deck You Chen was actually using.
Why had this guy stuffed a Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon into a Deck where it made no sense?
Naturally, they did not believe that You Chen was using a Blue-Eyes Deck.
After all, Blue-Eyes Decks were exceptionally rare. If anyone in the school used one, they would have long since become famous. Moreover, the Blue-Eyes Deck had been the champion of the first National Campus Tournament.
This only showed how much more important the Blue-Eyes Deck was in these students' minds.
But no matter what, it was a fact that You Chen could Special Summon Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!
"Witness the strongest, most ultimate dragon in history! Transcend the boundaries of time and space and descend! White Light of Destruction!!"
"Crush!"
"Shatter!"
"Thunderous applause!"
You Chen's eyes abruptly narrowed. He raised one hand high, wearing a faint smile as he spoke in a forceful, ringing voice.
No matter what, when it was time to get fired up, he did not hold back in the slightest.
Within the Duel Arena, three blue long-necked dragons with azure eyes roared and struggled their way out of the twisting fusion space.
Red dragon crests marked their heads, while sharp draconic spikes covered their massive bodies. Their enormous wings spread out behind them in radiant light. Their tails tore through the air, their claws clenched at empty space, and their heads lifted toward the sky in a deafening roar!
It was as though they would destroy everything in this very moment!
The shadow of its colossal body had already enveloped every student in Class Five.
XYZ-Dragon Cannon appeared rather tiny before Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.
Chen Jianming, too, felt immense pressure at that moment.
He raised his eyes and swallowed.
It was not that he feared You Chen.
Rather, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon had been used so masterfully by that man that its powerful image had become deeply ingrained in everyone's hearts. Just seeing it gave people an instinctive fear of being suppressed.
Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon was not actually worth much; what was valuable was Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
That was why You Chen had Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.
"Damn it! What normal person would run that card?"
"And he actually managed to summon it!"
"This is bad."
The Class Five students began to panic.
Zhang Cuihua burst out laughing. "Good!! Hahaha, just as expected of you, Little Chen. You sure know how to have fun."
Mu Qingyu blinked, finding the scene somewhat absurd as well.
By some bizarre stroke of luck, You Chen had instead gained the upper hand?
Teacher Fang Qing was also overjoyed. This was truly a wonderful opening she had never imagined.
"Does You Chen have newbie protection?"
Fang Qing was young too, so naturally she understood such memes.
And at that moment,
Chen Jianming gradually recovered from his shock.
He lifted his eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled up.
"To be honest, kid, you really did shock me for a moment!"
"But if you think this means you can defeat me, you're being far too naive!"
"I activate XYZ-Dragon Cannon's effect again!"
"I discard one card!"
"Of course, the one I'm destroying is your Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!!"
The next moment, Chen Jianming held up a card between two fingers.
"Boom—"
Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon was blasted to pieces on the spot.
The shadow hanging over the Class Five students gradually vanished into fragments.
Only then did they finally breathe a great sigh of relief.
Both sides lost another 300 LP!
Chen Jianming: 2200 LP.
You Chen: 3900 LP.
"Hahaha!! You think you can win with such petty tricks?"
"That's nothing but wishful thinking!"
"XYZ-Dragon Cannon, attack the opponent directly!"
"A worm will always be a worm!"
Chen Jianming pointed forward and mocked him.
You Chen was not flustered in the slightest. "Brother, could you at least hit me before you start showing off? Isn't this kind of embarrassing?"
"I activate my Set Card, the Normal Trap Counter Gate!"
"It can only be activated when an opponent's monster declares a direct attack. Negate that attack, then draw 1 card. If the card drawn is a monster, you can Normal Summon that monster in face-up Attack Position."
"Seriously, I still have three Set Cards on the field. You ignored them and attacked anyway, fine—but you still had the confidence to say all that? If I hadn't seen that you didn't even have any cards in your hand, I would've almost suspected you had some sort of follow-up."
You Chen truly could not understand it.
It was not like showing off was forbidden.
After all, people were born to show off.
But under these circumstances, how could any normal duelist say those things so confidently?
Any normal duelist would surely attack while feeling uneasy.
So You Chen genuinely could not understand where Chen Jianming's confidence came from.
Could his skill level really be that low?
Or had he simply underestimated You Chen's Set Cards?
Once those words were spoken, Chen Jianming finally realized that You Chen's Set Cards were not some worthless trash. They really could produce remarkable effects.
What kinds of battle traps had he encountered before?
Wall of Disruption, Dice of Devil, Dice of Angel, and the like.
So he had grown used to not taking Set Cards seriously.
He had not expected You Chen's battle traps to be different from the rest, seemingly quite rare as well.
A dimensional gate directly blocked XYZ-Dragon Cannon's attack.

You Chen's Life Points fell to 3600 LP!
