Are You Even Human? This Duel Is So Cheap!

"Bang—"

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

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

Duoduo commented, "Uh... the field was dealt with just that plainly?"

"I thought this would be the beginning of a Harpie hunt. Who knew it would be over before it even began?"

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

"This You Chen is really too good at turning junk into treasure."

The spectators present were also thoroughly intrigued.

After all, You Chen's deck was not actually very strong. More precisely, it did not contain many Rare Cards. As long as they could learn even a trick or two, they might be the ones making a comeback next time.

That was why You Chen was far more popular than the other students.

Who told him to use such down-to-earth cards?

"I set four cards and end my turn." You Chen once again showed his opponent sufficient respect with a full four-card set.

Looking at those four Set Cards, Liu Wenhui already felt her scalp going numb.

Without the field's support, she felt that every one of those Set Cards was a bomb from the abyss!

This was also the common failing of decks that had grown accustomed to establishing an advantage by blowing up the back row!

After using that tactic for so long, they could attack without restraint.

But once that tactic was obstructed, they feared trap holes more than anyone else.

"My turn! Draw!"

Liu Wenhui gritted her teeth. She had better draw first and worry about the rest later.

She had only just drawn her card and had not even had time to look at it.

You Chen's voice rang out again.

"Wait! I'm activating my Set Card, the Continuous Trap Card The Eye of Truth."

"As long as this card remains on the field, your hand stays revealed. During your Standby Phase, if you have a Magic Card in your hand, you recover 1000 Life Points."

Liu Wenhui froze when she saw the card. What did this mean? He wanted to deal with her by revealing her hand?

But she was not afraid of having her hand revealed. Her strategy was simply straightforward offense.

She could even gain Life Points, so it was not a loss.

Before she could think any further—

You Chen swept his hand again and said calmly, "At the same time, I will activate another Set Card in a chain! The Continuous Trap Card Bad Reaction to Simochi!"

"Effects that restore your Life Points become effects that deal damage to your Life Points instead."

The later Chain Link resolved first.

So Bad Reaction to Simochi took effect first, followed by The Eye of Truth.

The moment those two cards appeared, Liu Wenhui realized something was wrong, and her expression hardened.

During her Standby Phase, Liu Wenhui had to reveal her hand.

"Before me, you are completely transparent. I can see everything clearly."

As You Chen said that, he suddenly felt there was something ambiguous about those words.

So he changed the subject.

"You have a Magic Card in your hand, so congratulations—you can recover 1000 LP."

"But because of Bad Reaction to Simochi, that means minus 1000 LP."

As You Chen finished speaking—

A Millennium Eye-shaped mark appeared above Liu Wenhui's head. Pain surged through her, and she let out a scream.

"Ah!"

Her Life Points fell to 3000 LP.

"Not only that, during your Standby Phase, Burning Land's effect activates. You lose another 500 LP."

Another blaze descended from the sky.

"Ah!"

Liu Wenhui held her hands before herself and cried out miserably.

Her Life Points fell to 2500 LP.

It was only the start of her turn. She had not even done anything yet, so how had she already lost 1500 LP?

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

Liu Wenhui clenched her delicate fists, her blood pressure rising without end. Being forced to reveal her hand was already bad enough, and now he was fucking deducting her Life Points too?

Her blood pressure was truly shooting through the roof!

It felt as if he had gotten her body—not for free, but by making her pay him instead!

Was this something a human could even do?

Emotion Value +1005!

This wave of Emotion Value had broken a thousand. Her blood pressure really was that high.

Seeing that Emotion Value, You Chen could not help sighing. Girls really did give more Emotion Value. Women were indeed more emotional than men.

"It isn't over yet. I'm activating another Continuous Trap Card, Dark Cure!"

"When you Normal Summon, Flip Summon, or Special Summon a monster, you recover Life Points equal to half that monster's ATK."

This wave from You Chen was practically a nonstop barrage of floodgates.

There were already four floodgates on the field.

Everyone present stared in stunned disbelief, their scalps tingling.

The commentator said, "Oh my god! This is the first time I've seen such a pure duel. His back row is almost entirely Continuous Spell/Trap cards. Has he just given up on defense entirely?"

"Can he really win just by relying on these cards?"

"Teacher Duoduo, you were right about one thing. This kid really has pioneered a unique style of play."

You Chen's move drew more and more cries of surprise and discussion.

From his seat, Xiao Shan kept studying the cards on You Chen's field with his aged eyes.

Any one of these cards alone was insignificant. Many people even disdained using them. Yet how could they produce such tremendous effects in You Chen's hands?

An unbelievable way of thinking when constructing a deck.

And distinctly original, too.

He liked this style!

It was just like that paper he had seen in Kaiba Magazine that day—bold in conception.

Of course, he did not connect the two.

After all, for a student to publish a paper in Kaiba Magazine was simply a fantasy.

There were not even many people who could understand it.

Liu Wenhui's chest rose and fell sharply, her face flushed red with frustration.

Her eyes were filled with fury.

She could not endure it. She truly could not endure it for another second.

"I Normal Summon Harpie Channeler from my hand!"

Liu Wenhui's combo had begun. She swiftly slapped down another card.

Light flared up before her.

A beautiful Harpie figure emerged. Black feathered wings spread behind her, crimson hair tied up, a priestess's staff in hand, and her proud figure appeared in midair.

Harpie Channeler

WIND / Level 4 / Winged Beast-Type

ATK: 1400 / DEF: 1300

"Wait! That card was successfully Summoned, so through the combined effects of Dark Cure and Bad Reaction to Simochi, you lose another 700 LP."

You Chen calmly reminded her.

-700 LP!

Liu Wenhui had 1800 LP remaining.

"As long as this card exists on the field or in the Graveyard, its name is treated as 'Harpie Lady.'"

"I activate the Magic Card Elegant Egotist from my hand!"

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

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

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

"Crush him! Crush him!"

Liu Wenhui had already gone berserk, spittle flying as she could no longer suppress her emotions. This showed just how great an effect You Chen's deck had had on her.
