"So it was blocked? But no matter what, your insect deck can't beat my XYZ-Dragon Cannon! I end my turn!"

Chen Jianming was still brimming with confidence.

You Chen glanced at the two set cards on his field, along with Lure of the Dead. He still had two cards in hand.

Meanwhile, Chen Jianming had no cards left in his hand, with only XYZ-Dragon Cannon remaining.

That was why You Chen was genuinely puzzled.

Where did Chen Jianming's confidence come from?

Or were duelists in this world all inexplicably confident?

"My turn, draw."

Thanks to Golden Ladybug's effect, his Life Points increased by another 500 LP.

4100 LP.

"I'll also activate the Magic Card Graceful Charity from my hand!"

"Draw 3 cards from the deck, then choose 2 cards from your hand and discard them."

Seeing the remaining cards, You Chen's expression became even stranger.

A world without forbidden cards was truly wonderful.

"Um, sorry, but the duel might be over already."

"It's happening a little fast, so it might catch you off guard. I'm telling you in advance so you can prepare yourself mentally. It wouldn't be good if you got depressed."

You Chen said this with a blink of his eyes.

Was that even something a human would say? You really thought you were such a nice guy, huh?

The entire crowd was filled with question marks.

No way, it was ending already?

Chen Jianming still had XYZ-Dragon Cannon on the field.

Chen Jianming frowned. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"How are you going to beat me?"

You Chen stopped wasting words. He slowly raised his eyes and directly made his move!

"I activate the Magic Card Premature Burial from my hand! I pay 800 LP to revive Warm Worm from my Graveyard!"

This card stunned all the students present.

Reviving Warm Worm?

Was there any point in this kind of move that hurt the enemy by a thousand while hurting yourself by eight hundred?

Mu Qingyu frowned from the side as well.

Every step of You Chen's duel was beyond her expectations. She had never seen anyone build a deck with such wild leaps in thought, nor duel in such an unconventional way.

Yet You Chen ignored everyone's opinions.

He continued his plays with a heart as calm as still water.

Because the one whose emotions would collapse next was his opponent.

Warm Worm FIRE Attribute / Level 3 / Insect ATK: 600 / DEF: 1400

"Hm? Could it be an insect deck?"

"But when did this Warm Worm enter the Graveyard? Could it have been Graceful Charity?" Chen Jianming was dumbfounded. This duel had already shocked him time and again, yet he still did not know what deck his opponent was using.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a thing.

Normally, once you were shocked, you would know what kind of deck your opponent used.

Otherwise, where would the shock come from?

"Although Warm Worm's effect can work with Lure of the Dead, how are you going to make it happen?"

"Even if you destroy your Warm Worm, I still won't lose! You'll be the one who loses!"

After thinking it through, Chen Jianming relaxed and laughed instead.

You Chen smiled. "I'm relieved to hear you say that."

"Then what about this?"

"Now! I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card Inferno Reckless Summon!!"

"This card can only be activated when the opponent controls a face-up monster and exactly one monster with 1500 or less ATK is Special Summoned to your field. Special Summon as many monsters as possible with the same name as that Special Summoned monster from your hand, deck, or Graveyard in Attack Position. The opponent selects one face-up monster they control, then Special Summons as many monsters as possible with the same name as that monster from their hand, deck, or Graveyard."

"Therefore, I can Special Summon the other two Warm Worms from my deck!"

As You Chen's words fell, his Monster Zone went berserk. The ground split apart, and two more Warm Worms burrowed out.

They emerged with overwhelming momentum.

"What?" Only then did Chen Jianming realize that this had been You Chen's goal?

For some reason, the presence of those Warm Worms actually suppressed even his XYZ-Dragon Cannon.

Was it an illusion?

"Even so, you can't possibly win this turn. The moment you attack, you'll definitely lose."

Chen Jianming's confidence was dwindling.

But he still had a chance. Next turn, he absolutely had to destroy that Lure of the Dead.

Only now did he realize how terrifying Lure of the Dead was.

Duelists who had never encountered this kind of combo would not think much of Lure of the Dead at first.

But by the time you realized something was wrong, it was usually already too late.

It was just like boiling a frog in warm water.

And Chen Jianming was that frog right now.

He was about to be boiled to death by You Chen.

"Who said I was going to attack?"

"One card is enough to end this duel!"

"I open my other set card! Needle Ceiling!"

"This card can only be activated when there are four or more monsters on the field. Destroy all face-up monsters."

At the very end, You Chen flipped over the card he had been holding! Not a single card had been wasted—he had used all five cards perfectly for the kill!

It was as if everything had been calculated beforehand.

Chen Jianming's eyes widened, and his pupils shrank violently.

His entire body trembled.

This was bad!

The students all seemed to realize something as well, drawing sharp breaths.

Countless spikes formed across both Monster Zones.

They instantly crushed every monster into fragments.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!

In an instant, all the monsters shattered into fragments.

As the monsters were sent to the Graveyard.

Chen Jianming lost 300 LP, leaving him with 1900 LP.

"Then I activate Warm Worm's effect! When this card is destroyed, send the top 3 cards of your opponent's deck to the Graveyard."

"That makes nine cards in total!"

"So, due to Lure of the Dead's effect, you'll take 2700 damage. That's more than enough, so no need for change."

You Chen's final remark undoubtedly sent the tension of the duel soaring.

What did he mean, more than enough, no need for change?

Chen Jianming: Go to hell!

He was absolutely furious now.
