Three-Star Rare Card Hunter, Insta-Killed?

"I'm going straight to the Battle Phase!" You Chen declared with a faint smile, pointing a hand without the slightest hesitation.

"Attack power zero, and you're entering the Battle Phase?"

As a Rare Card Hunter for many years, Poison Wolf keenly sensed that You Chen seemed to be using some kind of strategy, and he was even smiling.

Most importantly, he had no face-down cards on his own field.

Which meant he had no defensive measures.

And with the opponent smiling like that, whatever strategy it was, it had to be within their foreseeable range.

If he had face-down cards, then the opponent's smile could be understood as a bit reckless.

So he didn't underestimate You Chen like others did.

But no matter what, as long as he didn't lose, it wasn't a big deal.

He had 4000 Life Points, and he really didn't believe one monster could finish him off!

At this moment, the Assassin of Instant Kill still had 0 attack power, truly like an assassin, lurking in the shadows, easily bypassing the tall Mecha Fortress and going straight into the Mecha Castle!

Going straight for the enemy general's head!

"I really don't believe you can finish me off!"

"If you can't finish me off, your strategy is meaningless!"

Poison Wolf narrowed his eyes, speaking in a deep voice.

"Then, as you wish. I've never seen anyone make such a request."

You Chen chuckled softly when he heard this.

He quickly waved his hand and continued, "I activate my face-down card, the Normal Trap Card Curse of the Heavenly Evil Spirit!"

"Until the End Phase of the turn this card is activated, the effects that increase or decrease ATK/DEF are reversed."

"The effect of Assassin of Instant Kill is to decrease its attack by 400 for each card in my hand. I have four cards in my hand, so that's a decrease of 1600 attack."

"And Meteor Bow - Blazing Flame decreases attack by 1000."

"So, that's equivalent to an increase of 2600 attack!"

"If we calculate it like that, the Assassin of Instant Kill now has 4600 attack power! Sorry, game over! Rare Card Hunter!"

You Chen was calculating, and as he said this.

Everyone present seemed to understand at that moment, gasping collectively, their hearts churning with immense shock.

"What?!"

Poison Wolf was the most shocked. How was it over? He hadn't even reacted.

It was this kind of seemingly harmless, somewhat hidden assassination, but when you uncovered it, its power was terrifying!

The Assassin of Instant Kill truly seemed to be taking the enemy general's head amidst an army, as easy as picking something from a pocket!

A single fatal blow!

-4600 LP!!

"Uwaaaah!!!"

The Rare Card Hunter Poison Wolf let out a long howl to the sky, his eyes bulging, completely unable to accept it, utterly disbelieving.

His Life Points were wiped out in one turn.

Just how terrifying was this guy?

As a three-star Rare Card Hunter, he was actually wiped out by an unknown kid?

He regretted it, his guts twisting with regret.

This was like hitting a titanium alloy plate.

The entire venue fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone's gazes towards You Chen had changed dramatically; there was shock, bewilderment, and even admiration. In a world where dueling reigned supreme, this was undoubtedly the most eye-catching presence.

Behind You Chen, Hua Ningning had her hand clasped over her mouth, staring intently at the scene. The shock in her heart made her slender body tremble slightly, unable to utter a single word.

You Chen had once again proven the terrifying nature of his deck-building philosophy through a duel.

It was too terrifying.

A three-star Rare Card Hunter was instantly defeated by a deck You Chen had just put together for 500,000. If word got out, it would undoubtedly cause an even bigger sensation.

After all, a 500,000 deck was actually quite cheap.

Mid-tier decks usually cost several million and up.

Decks in the hundreds of thousands were generally considered low to mid-tier.

After all, it was an entire deck, not just a single card.

And this Rare Card Hunter's deck was at least in the tens of millions!

He was actually taken out in an instant.

If Hua Ningning hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it.

Is this man really a student?

Hua Ningning even had that illusion.

But why has he been so unknown until now?

You Chen didn't care what others thought. He walked up and snatched Poison Wolf's deck.

"Thank you, delivery man Poison Wolf."

"Oh, and this Duel Disk is mine too, right?"

"You don't even have a deck anymore, so a Duel Disk is pretty useless."

You Chen disassembled Poison Wolf's Duel Disk.

"Damn it! That's my brand new Duel Disk!" Poison Wolf was unwilling, but his body hadn't recovered yet. He was still numb all over from taking 4600 points of damage just now.

You Chen couldn't believe he'd met such a generous person right after stepping out, delivering a package directly to him.

Now he wouldn't even have to buy a Duel Disk for forced duels.

If he wanted to, he could even become a Rare Card Hunter.

But he was lazy.

So he decided against it.

Still, this Duel Disk would be useful in a pinch.

When he got home, You Wushuang was already asleep.

After all, it was past ten o'clock.

After You Chen showered, he lay down on his bed.

He picked up the Mecha Fortress deck and looked through it.

He found it was actually quite good, with many rare cards.

This deck alone was worth at least tens of millions.

He couldn't believe he had already earned tens of millions just like that.

"Money comes really f***ing fast in this world," You Chen muttered, stroking the cards, unable to help but sigh in admiration.

He had no idea that his situation was a rare exception.

Most people targeted by Rare Card Hunters almost always ended up dying.

You Chen's situation was truly an unexpected windfall.

After organizing the deck, he picked up his laptop and logged in.

To his surprise, he had received a reply on the Kaiba Magazine website.

However, it was a dismissive one, criticizing his idea.

You Chen didn't bother to engage with them.

Such things were normal; everyone had different opinions, so there was no need for others to agree with him. Besides, You Chen wasn't dating these people.

After some thought, You Chen decided it would be better to share his deck-building philosophy himself.

Whether it became popular wasn't important; he simply wanted to see how many people shared his perspective. If many criticized it, he would know to adjust his future deck-building direction accordingly, as it wouldn't be targeted.

Therefore, Kaiba Magazine was an excellent place for him to test his current deck builds.

Thinking this, You Chen began to type.

He started by explaining his deck-building philosophy.

First, he'd consider what most popular decks were weak against, and then, based on that, he'd define the characteristics of the deck he wanted to build.

From there, he'd develop his ideas around that core point.

The goal was to make it fluid, with simple combos, but mostly with cards that could influence each other, and so on. This way, it could counter most popular decks.

He elaborated on these points in detail.

Finally, he typed the last word.

Only then was he satisfied.

The concept for the original Underworld Deck had taken shape.
