You Chen is Really Meticulous! Too Meticulous!

"Bang bang—"

King Rex stomped its thick, muscular legs, its claws thudding against the floor with earth-shattering roars. The two-headed Tyrannosaurus Rex opened its monstrous jaws, tearing and clawing as it charged, as if to rip You Chen apart in that very instant.

"Roar—"

A dragon's roar also spread at that moment.

You Chen raised his eyes to meet King Rex's colossal form. A fierce wind swept down, causing the cape on his shoulders to ripple.

And at this moment!

He actually broke into a genuine smile and roared, "YA★DA★ZE!!"

At that sound, everyone present was stunned.

Could there still be a reversal?

Tyrannosaurus Rex's smile also froze abruptly. Could there still be a trump card?

You Chen finally raised his large hand, a smile playing on his lips, and spoke eloquently, "You thought that 'Messenger of Peace' just now was my trump card? But I regret to inform you!"

"That was just bait!"

"And the card I truly intend to use is my last face-down card!!"

"Activate Trap Card: Ceiling!!"

"Can only be activated if there are 4 or more monsters on the field. Destroy all face-up monsters."

"I told you, I won't stop your destruction; I'll even give you a hand!"

"The destruction you wanted has arrived, but is this 'prosperous age' truly as you wished?"

This 'prosperous age' truly as you wished—this phrase was truly being twisted into something ridiculous by You Chen.

As soon as he said this.

In the dueling arena filled with tens of thousands of people, gasps of cold air couldn't help but be heard simultaneously.

Because if that happened, wouldn't Tyrannosaurus Rex be the one to lose?

Between the two of them, life and death hung in the balance in that very instant!

However, until the very end, no one knew who would win or lose.

No one could have imagined that this duel could be so exciting, with so many reversals.

"What?!"

The moment Tyrannosaurus Rex saw that card, his entire body trembled as if judgment had been passed. He stared wide-eyed, fixed on the card before him.

The massive, spiky stone monument descended from above, crushing all monsters on the field!

"Boom—"

And because three monsters went to the Graveyard, Tyrannosaurus Rex lost exactly 900 Life Points!!

"Ugh!"

Tyrannosaurus Rex clutched his chest, which felt as if it had been pierced by a phantom. Beads of sweat the size of soybeans constantly broke out on his forehead, and his clothes seemed soaked through with sweat.

His Life Points dropped to 0 in that instant.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The dueling arena, filled with tens of thousands of people, fell silent; many clearly hadn't reacted yet.

Tyrannosaurus Rex, clutching his chest, looked up unwillingly, staring intently at You Chen.

He wasn't against losing, but the way his opponent didn't attack, instead depleting his Life Points to make him lose, made him feel powerless, like punching cotton that stuck to his hand.

Still, he managed to suppress his rising blood pressure.

Because there was a more important question he hadn't figured out.

Tyrannosaurus Rex gritted his teeth and asked, "I ask you—"

"How did you guess my face-down card was Trap Jammer?"

"And why didn't you use Ceiling earlier? Why wait until the Battle Phase?"

You Chen heard this and calmly replied, "First, I didn't guess your face-down card was Trap Jammer, but I definitely prioritized using Messenger of Peace to probe."

"I considered that with such confident attacks, you likely had a face-down card that negates spells/traps. So, to avoid you having a Counter Trap Card that I couldn't chain to, I quickly used Messenger of Peace to probe once you entered the Battle Phase."

"Sure enough, you used a Counter Trap Card to negate my Messenger of Peace. Then, when you attacked, I had enough time to activate Ceiling."

"My hasty use of Messenger of Peace wasn't because I was afraid of dying, but to manage the chain. If I had waited until the attack, the chain wouldn't have kept up, and I would have been the one to die."

After You Chen said this, even more duelists present were astonished.

Damn, this guy is so meticulous?

He thinks too deeply about playing a card, doesn't he?

Xiao Shan was also shocked, his old eyes gleaming.

Tyrannosaurus Rex's eyes also trembled when he heard this.

So, he didn't guess what I had faced down, but rather it was his dueling instincts guiding him?

That's even more terrifying.

You Chen then answered Tyrannosaurus Rex's other question.

"As for why I used it during the Battle Phase?"

"It's only because you're playing a Dinosaur-Type deck that I paid extra attention to this."

"I'm sure you're well aware that Dinosaur-Type decks have a card called Miscellaneousaurus!"

"That card prevents Dinosaur-Type monsters you control from being affected by your opponent's activated effects during the Main Phase."

"If I had used it during the Main Phase and you had that card in your hand, then I would have been checkmated."

"Even if we take a step back, and you weren't playing a Dinosaur-Type deck, I still would have waited for the Battle Phase."

"During the Battle Phase, you can't make many more active plays. That's the most opportune moment to use it. So, when you asked that question, didn't you already know the answer yourself?"

After hearing him out, Tyrannosaurus Rex's eyes were filled with self-doubt.

This guy's dueling instincts… he thought so many steps ahead?

What kind of monster is he?

He initially thought he'd drawn a perfect match, getting to play against a noob.

Little did he know, after the duel, he'd be questioning himself.

After speaking, You Chen couldn't help but look at the referee, frowning as he said, "Host, stop just watching the show and announce it already?"

He just started work and he's already slacking off. Where did they hire this host from?

"Oh, uh..."

"Congratulations to You Chen from High School Nine for winning the first duel!!"

The host finally snapped out of it and quickly shouted.

His voice was particularly forceful because this was an upset!

It made his emotions incredibly agitated.

With the host's announcement, most of the audience cheered.

Duelists don't want to see a one-sided defeat; they prefer to see an upset!

Only then do the duelists who aren't on stage feel a spiritual pillar of fantasy, thinking that maybe they'll be the next upset, then soar to success and reach the pinnacle of life.

So You Chen's duel was undoubtedly an epic comeback.

Because upsets are rare, especially when the score difference is so significant.

This led to even more applause.

Of course, except from the students of High School Five.

Before You Chen turned to leave, he left a remark: "That was truly an interesting duel!"

Tyrannosaurus Rex's blood pressure was already rising, and hearing that sentence completely broke him.

Interesting? Interesting, my ass!

Only you found it interesting, didn't you?

Meanwhile, Xiao Shan's stern expression finally softened significantly, even showing a hint of awkwardness. He had been so harshly critical of Principal Hua earlier, his tone almost as if he were going to make an example out of him on the spot.

He hadn't expected that this student, with over four hundred points, actually had skill.

And his dueling instincts were exceptional.

He was the type to think a hundred steps ahead.

Such a duelist is truly a promising talent!

Then the question arose: a duelist like this shouldn't just have over four hundred points, right?

How strange.

Xiao Shan cleared his throat and said, "Well done, Principal Hua, you have a keen eye for talent!"

Principal Hua finally beamed, a smile spreading across his face, a look of immense relief.

"Oh, it was just luck."

Thank goodness this kid pulled through. Otherwise, the consequences would have been severe.

In contrast, Principal Liu of High School Five went from being smug, to his smile gradually shifting to Principal Hua, and now his face was darkening.

The speed of his mood change would make even a Peking Opera master feel inferior.
