Are You Even Human? This Duel Is Too Cheap!

"Boom!"

In an instant, the Field Spell Card, Harpie's Hunting Ground, shattered, and the duel field returned to its original state.

A few feathers lingered in the sky as the Harpie Lady flew away.

Duoduo narrated, "Oh, wow. So the field was just dealt with, plain and simple?"

"I thought it would be the start of a Harpie hunt, but who knew it would be over before it even began?"

"I have to say, sometimes what you think are trash cards can have unexpected effects."

"You Chen is really good at turning trash into treasure."

The audience present also became very interested.

After all, You Chen's decks weren't particularly strong; to be precise, he didn't have many rare cards. If they could learn even a trick or two, they would be the ones making a comeback next.

That's why You Chen's popularity was far greater than that of other students.

It was because his deck was so relatable.

"Four cards set, turn end," You Chen said, once again setting four cards to show his opponent ample respect.

Seeing the four set cards, Liu Wenhui already felt a slight tingling sensation on her scalp.

Without the help of her field, she felt like these set cards were all abyss bombs!

This was a common problem for decks that relied on destroying back-row cards to gain an advantage!

Because they had long been accustomed to this strategy, they could attack without restraint.

But once this strategy was disrupted, they would fear traps more than anyone else.

"It's my turn! Draw!"

Liu Wenhui gritted her teeth, deciding to draw first.

She had just drawn a card and hadn't even had a chance to look at it.

You Chen's voice sounded again.

"Wait! I activate my set card, the Continuous Trap Card, The Eye of Truth."

"As long as this card remains on the field, your hand must be continuously revealed. During your Standby Phase, if there is a Spell Card in your hand, you gain 1000 Life Points."

Liu Wenhui froze when she saw this card. What does this mean? Do I have to reveal my hand to deal with this?

But she wasn't afraid to reveal her hand, because her strategy was a straightforward offensive one.

And she could even gain LP, so it wasn't a loss.

Before she could think much more.

You Chen waved his hand again, calmly stating, "At the same time, I'm activating another set card to chain! The Continuous Trap Card, Bad Reaction to Simochi!"

"Any effect that would cause your Life Points to increase now causes them to decrease by the same amount."

Chained effects resolve backward.

So Bad Reaction to Simochi would resolve first, followed by The Eye of Truth.

As soon as these two cards appeared, Liu Wenhui realized something was wrong, and her expression tightened.

Liu Wenhui had to start revealing her hand during her Standby Phase.

"In front of me, you're completely transparent. I can see everything clearly."

As You Chen said this, he suddenly felt like the phrase had a double meaning.

He then changed the subject.

"You have a Spell Card in your hand, so congratulations, you'll recover 1000 LP."

"However, due to Bad Reaction to Simochi, that will be -1000 LP instead."

As You Chen's words fell.

A Millennium Eye symbol appeared above Liu Wenhui's head. She already felt a surge of pain and let out a shriek.

"Ah!"

Her Life Points dropped to 3000.

"Not just that, during your Standby Phase, the effect of Burning Land activates, reducing your LP by another 500."

Another ball of flame descended from the sky.

"Ah!"

Liu Wenhui put her hands in front of her, screaming mournfully.

Her Life Points dropped to 2500.

It was only the start of her turn, and she hadn't even done anything yet, but she had already lost 1500 LP?

"Damn it! I'm getting angry now."

Liu Wenhui clenched her small fists, her blood pressure steadily rising. Having to reveal her hand was already a huge disadvantage, and now her Life Points were being deducted too?

My blood pressure is absolutely skyrocketing!

It feels like he's taken possession of her body, and not only is it not free, but he's actually demanding money from her!

Is this something a human being would do?!

Emotion Value +1005!

This wave of Emotion Value breaking a thousand means her blood pressure is genuinely through the roof.

You Chen looked at this Emotion Value and couldn't help but sigh. Girls really give more Emotion Value. Women are indeed more emotional than men.

"It's not over yet. I'm also activating another Continuous Trap Card, Dark Cure!"

"When your opponent Normal Summons, Flip Summons, or Special Summons a monster, they gain Life Points equal to half that monster's ATK."

You Chen was truly stacking up the floodgates this turn.

There were already four floodgates on the field.

Everyone present was wide-eyed, their scalps tingling.

Mi, the commentator, exclaimed, "Oh my goodness! This is the first time I've seen such a pure duel. The backrow is almost entirely Continuous Spells and Traps. Is he just giving up on defense?"

"He can't possibly win with just these cards, can he?"

"Teacher Duoduo, you were right about one thing—this kid really has pioneered a unique playstyle."

You Chen's move sparked increasingly more exclamations and discussions.

Xiao Shan, from his seat, kept his old eyes fixed on the cards on You Chen's field.

Any of these cards, taken individually, were unremarkable, even scorned by many. Yet, in You Chen's hands, they were having such a massive impact.

It was an unbelievable dueling construction mindset.

And it was truly unique.

He liked this style!

It was like that bold concept he'd seen in a paper in Kaiba Magazine the other day.

Of course, he didn't connect the two.

After all, a student publishing a paper in Kaiba Magazine was undoubtedly a fantasy.

Few people could even understand it.

Liu Wenhui's chest heaved continuously, her face flushed with urgency.

Her eyes were filled with fury.

She couldn't stand it. She truly couldn't stand it anymore.

"I'll Normal Summon Harpie Channeler from my hand!"

Liu Wenhui's turn had begun, and another card was quickly slapped down.

A brilliant light shone forth in front of her.

A graceful Harpie figure materialized, dark feathered wings unfurled, crimson hair tied back, holding a miko staff, her proud figure appearing in the void.

Harpie Channeler

Wind/Level 4/Winged Beast

ATK: 1400/DEF: 1300

"Wait! Since this card was successfully summoned, due to the combined effects of Dark Cure and Bad Reaction to Simochi, you lose another 700 Life Points."

You Chen calmly continued to remind her.

-700 LP!

Liu Wenhui had 1800 Life Points remaining.

"This card's name is treated as 'Harpie Lady' while it is on the field or in the Graveyard."

"I activate the Spell Card Harpie's Feathered Gale from my hand!"

"This card can only be activated if there is a 'Harpie Lady' on the field. Special Summon 1 'Harpie Lady' or 'Harpie Lady Sisters' from your hand or Deck."

"I'll Special Summon Harpie Lady Sisters from my Deck!!"

"I'll crush you beneath the Harpies' talons!"

"I'll crush you! Crush you!"

Liu Wenhui was already in a berserk state, spittle flying, her emotions completely unrestrained. This showed just how much You Chen's deck affected her.
