The Opponent Plans to Stop Him from Playing Yu-Gi-Oh?

After You Chen drew a card, he didn't rush to make a move.

He raised his eyes and scanned the field.

He observed the opponent's field and the cards in his hand, rapidly analyzing the situation in his mind.

Tyrannosaurus Rex's first-turn field looked unremarkable: a cute Babycerasaurus was adorably pecking at the ground, appearing completely harmless.

And the Field Spell Card, Lost World, made it feel as if one were in a primeval forest, plus there was a dinosaur egg on his side.

Duelists unfamiliar with Dinosaur-Type strategies could easily be misled by this simple field.

You Chen had to admit, he hadn't expected to see the Field Spell Card, Lost World, in a student's deck. This Dinosaur-Type deck's strength was already superior to many other students'.

No wonder he was considered a top student capable of challenging the Four Great Academies.

"I'll set one monster from my hand in face-down Defense Position."

"Then I'll set three cards! I end my turn."

You Chen ended his turn quite decisively, even surprising Tyrannosaurus Rex, who had been waiting for his opponent to build up their field.

But his opponent didn't even set up a field?

What was the point of dueling then?

Not attacking even when going second—wasn't that giving up half the duel?

Tyrannosaurus Rex frowned, increasingly finding this duel to be very boring.

"You really disappoint me. I thought you'd be an opponent who could entertain me."

"To think this is all there is. High School Nine's selection process is questionable."

"Then let's speed this game up!"

"I activate my Set Card, the Trap Card Ring of Destruction!"

"Destroy 1 face-up monster on my field, and both players take 1000 points of damage."

At that moment, as Tyrannosaurus Rex's voice fell, a ring with a bomb directly locked onto the cute Babycerasaurus.

The fuse of the bomb continuously burned, scaring Babycerasaurus, which ran wildly around the field in a panic.

"Boom—"

With a loud bang, it shattered into pieces.

Babycerasaurus tragically sacrificed itself yet again.

1000 LP!

Both players took damage from the explosion, their Life Points dropping to 3000 LP.

Seeing this, You Chen finally understood why the spirits would invade the human world. You guys persecute Babycerasaurus every single day; even I, if I were Babycerasaurus, couldn't take it.

However, I seem to be persecuting Warm Worm...

It's fine, Warm Worm probably won't mind.

"I activate Babycerasaurus's effect! When this card is destroyed by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or higher Dinosaur-Type monster from my Deck. A monster Special Summoned by this effect cannot attack this turn."

"I will Special Summon King Rex from my Deck!"

King Rex

EARTH/Level 9/Dinosaur-Type

ATK: 3200/DEF: 1200

On the Monster Zone, a dazzling light bloomed, and a colossal body emerged within the Lost World. The purple-backed, red-bellied, two-headed giant dragon opened its blood-red maw filled with jagged teeth. The sharp claws and fangs swung, cutting through the air, its short wings on its back spread open, and its twin tails flicked nimbly.

In an instant, an overwhelming aura permeated the area.

The appearance of this monster.

Made everyone gasp in awe.

"No way, Tyrannosaurus Rex got a perfect hand right off the bat! Summoning his ace monster directly, what's there left to play?"

"This High School Nine student is just too unlucky."

"Tyrannosaurus Rex is too harsh, couldn't he at least play a few more turns and give the opponent some face?"

"GG!!"

"This is really too easy."

A flurry of discussions erupted.

Xiao Shan, seeing this, quickly made a note. This High School Five student was good; his strength was truly impressive and his plays were smooth.

In contrast, You Chen made him frown even more.

Tyrannosaurus Rex then quickly let out a cold snort and said, "Not only that, because a Special Summon was successful, I can activate the effect of Lost World!"

"So I can Special Summon another Jurraegg Token to your field!"

At this moment, Duoduo, the commentator, couldn't help but get excited.

"Here we go! This is Tyrannosaurus Rex of High School Five's famous strategy: using Dinosaur Eggs to fill up monster zones! Not only does it hinder the opponent from building their field, but it can also be combined with Field Spell Cards to continuously Special Summon Dinosaur-Type monsters."

"This combination of moves is his signature tactic."

"I have to say, he truly lives up to being a student capable of challenging the Four Great Academies; his strength is impressive."

"On the other hand, You Chen still seems to have no answer at this point."

Tyrannosaurus Rex had set up his field, and the atmosphere in the venue grew even more fervent, especially among the High School Five supporters, who were practically boiling over.

Once Tyrannosaurus Rex gets his field set up, You Chen will have no choice but to await defeat.

Why else would people say that Dinosaur-Type decks also have the potential to be Underworld Decks?

You Chen understood that even though there were only two eggs now, there could be four by the next turn!

On a field without Link Monsters, these eggs would be enough to completely block him.

So, anyone with eyes could see that You Chen's situation was already precarious.

Most importantly, these eggs, when combined with the Field Spell Lost World, have a once-per-turn destruction substitute effect.

And this substitute destruction is the true core of the Dinosaur-Type strategy.

It wasn't that these people looked down on You Chen; it was just that given this situation, no one could think of a way to counter it.

The substitute destruction also helps with Special Summons, and if you don't destroy them, you'll be blocked.

Not only that, but any of your effects that target monsters must prioritize the eggs on your field.

Therefore, this strategy makes it almost impossible for someone to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

How can you play like this?

Unless the Field Spell Card is destroyed.

In the waiting room, Hua Ningning's face showed a hint of worry.

"It's still so difficult."

"Now, the Underworld Deck should be countered, right?"

"You Chen, can you still play Yu-Gi-Oh!?"

Not far away, Chen Jianming saw this and his face turned red, flushed with excitement.

He even had an uncontrollable smirk.

He absolutely loved watching this kind of scene.

Didn't expect this, did you?

You Chen! There are times when you can't play Yu-Gi-Oh! either!

He must be utterly crushed!

Someone who didn't know might even think Chen Jianming was a student from High School Five.

Tyrannosaurus Rex snorted. It was his turn, and he drew a card.

Honestly, there was no thrill in it; crushing a weak opponent wasn't interesting.

"Let me end this boring duel right now!!"

"I activate the effect of King Rex!"

"If this card was not Normal Summoned, Flip Summoned, or Special Summoned this turn, once per turn, you can target up to two monsters on your opponent's field. Destroy those monsters."

"I'm destroying your two eggs on the field!"

As he spoke, the twin heads of King Rex had already accumulated a surge of violent energy in their mouths, unleashing it towards the two eggs.

"Roar—"

These two ferocious blue energy waves blasted through the primeval forest world, sweeping away countless plants with immense force, as if they would rip up the very ground!

You Chen didn't panic. He met the attack with his gaze, then raised his hand and calmly said, "I activate my Set Card, Lure of the Dead!"

"Each time a card is sent to the Graveyard, for each card, its owner takes 300 damage."

"I know your Dinosaur-Type monsters love destruction!"

"Listen up, Little Flower! Not only will I not hinder you, I'll even help you!"

You Chen's lips curved into a smile. These words were undoubtedly a declaration of war!

"Call me Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

Tyrannosaurus Rex roared, seeing You Chen's aura suddenly change, and a flicker of emotion finally appeared on his face.

Was it a hallucination?

Just one card made him so much more confident?

"It's hard to believe one card can make you so confident, huh?"

Tyrannosaurus Rex asked indifferently.

"I understood your strategy from the very beginning. It's your strength, but it will also be your weakness."

You Chen stopped there, saying nothing more.

He knew that even if he said it, his opponent wouldn't understand yet, nor would he bother listening.

Next, he just needed to show him through his actions.

And the best person in the entire arena was undoubtedly the DJ!

At this moment, the music changed to Hiroyuki Sawano's Dragon's Rise!

The intense rivalry between the two sides immediately permeated the air.

In a major tournament, for a duel to be exciting, First, excellent commentary is indispensable.

Second, the importance of BGM cannot be overstated, so a good DJ is also a crucial factor.
