"I special summon Harpie Lady Sisters from my deck!"
Liu Wenhui's eyes blazed with animosity as she glared at You Chen, letting out a soft cry. Her chain of attacks unfolded rapidly in that instant.
Before her, the Harpie Lady Sisters were already circling in the sky, finally gathering together and slowly descending.
Harpie Lady Sisters Wind/Level 6/Winged Beast ATK: 1950/DEF: 2100
However, due to Dark Cure and Side Effects, her Life Points dropped by another 975.
Liu Wenhui had 825 Life Points remaining.
This kind of duel was quite different from online network duels.
In a real-life duel, constantly making plays and taking Life Point damage could easily interrupt one's thoughts, or cause blood pressure to rise, leading to confusion.
Liu Wenhui was experiencing exactly this; she almost forgot what her next step was.
But thankfully, she managed to recover.
"Enter battle phase!"
Liu Wenhui clenched her fists. Although her opponent's deck was quite irritating, it had many "trap cards," so there were almost no pitfalls in his back row.
Most importantly, You Chen had no monsters on his field.
So, with the three monsters on her field, she could definitely defeat him this turn!
Duoduo, the commentator, couldn't help but excitedly exclaim, "No way! Is You Chen really going to be instantly defeated in the end? This situation is extremely threatening!"
All the spectators were on the edge of their seats at this moment.
"Birdface, direct attack the opponent!"
Liu Wenhui pointed with her hand, her voice filled with excitement.
"Wait."
"I'm sorry, but the game is about to end."
You Chen raised his eyes and slowly lifted his large hand.
"What?!"
Liu Wenhui found it hard to believe when she heard those words at that moment.
All the spectators gasped when they heard that sentence.
"No way, is it already over?"
"Oh my god!"
"No... facing a Harpie deck, he can still be this ruthless?"
"This is f***ing hellish torture."
At that moment, the last face-down card in front of You Chen slowly rose.
"Activate the Trap Card, Dice Re-Roll!"
"Both players each flip a coin once. If it lands heads, recover 2000 Life Points. If it lands tails, take 2000 Life Points of damage."
You Chen's words dropped.
Liu Wenhui's mind raced at this moment, and she couldn't help but say, "It's not necessarily a deduction. What if I flip heads and recover..."
"No! Because of Side Effects."
"I'm f***ed, I'm dead either way?"
As Liu Wenhui was speaking, she suddenly realized something. Her pupils constricted, and she took two steps back.
The commentators also exploded in discussion.
Mi said, "No way! This... this is too ruthless. When these cards are combined, it's not Dice Re-Roll at all, but a path to certain death!"
"Liu Wenhui's fate seems to be firmly gripped by You Chen, unable to move. Even the direction of her future, no matter which path it takes, she can't struggle."
"How can a duel make one feel so hopeless?"
"This might be the most despairing duel I've ever seen."
"To die whether the coin lands heads or tails, this is the first time I've seen such a hopeless situation where nothing can be changed regardless of the outcome."
As the commentator spoke.
The surrounding spectators felt a chill run down their spines. It was indeed very despairing. They couldn't empathize too much; if they did, they might have already had a mental breakdown.
The more this happened, the more incomprehensible it became to those present.
How could these cards, which were trash that no one used, become so effective in You Chen's hands and make people so despairing?
It was terrifying.
Xiao Shan was buzzing with excitement. This kid is truly a genius.
Regardless, the duel had to continue.
You Chen felt it was taking too long.
He offered a gentle reminder, "Student, please flip the coin and choose your own path to defeat."
Even the host couldn't stand it anymore.
They even considered asking if she wanted to surrender.
Liu Wenhui couldn't take the humiliation. She clutched the coin, unable to bring herself to toss it.
Her blood pressure had already soared to 1500 Emotion Value!
This no-win situation, combined with You Chen's "gentle reminder," completely shattered her composure.
"WDNMGB!!"
Liu Wenhui furiously threw the coin onto the ground.
Tears streamed down her face, her eyes red with anger.
The loss was simply too humiliating!
She couldn't stand it, absolutely couldn't. It felt as if You Chen was toying with her, and she was powerless to resist, only for him to deliver a "gentle reminder" at the very end.
Liu Wenhui lost control of her emotions and ran off.
This scene caught everyone by surprise.
Good heavens!
It was rare to see a duel upset someone so much.
To the point of making them cry.
This...
Seeing this, Xiao Shan had a strange feeling, a misconception that Yu-Gi-Oh! had become a one-person game. He didn't say much, but he did look at Principal Liu of High School Five.
"Principal Liu, please have the school doctor check this young lady's blood pressure and give her some psychological counseling. We don't want her to develop any lingering issues."
Xiao Shan's words.
Left Principal Liu stunned.
Is playing a card game really that serious?
But considering what had just happened, it was hard to say.
Where did this You Chen come from? Why haven't I heard of such a person from High School Nine before?
He had incredibly strong dueling skills.
And most importantly, he was a táo gǒu (a player who stalls or uses dirty tactics)!
You Chen hadn't expected his opponent to get so upset.
But on second thought, either side was a loss, so why bother flipping the coin? Surrendering was the only option.
"Congratulations to You Chen of High School Nine, successfully advancing to the next round of the top eight!!"
As the host's voice rang out.
The entire audience finally reacted, erupting in cheers.
You Chen's duel undoubtedly became a beacon of hope for many duelists with less optimal decks.
He gave them a spiritual pillar!
He showed them the light.
And for the first time, they realized that winning a duel wasn't just about having rare cards.
Meanwhile, Principal Hua on the side was already grinning from ear to ear, like a boiled dog head, all teeth and no eyes.
In the waiting room.
The most excited person was undoubtedly Hua Ningning, her eyes sparkling with a strange brilliance as she stared at the screen.
"I can't believe this deck is so strong."
"This is even more despair-inducing than You Chen's own Warm Worm deck."
"It seems You Chen's deck construction is truly terrifying, at least far better than the celebrities in Kaiba Magazine who just slack off and make quick money."
Hua Ningning was muttering to herself, even wondering if she should recommend You Chen to try out for Kaiba Magazine.
Maybe he could really become famous.
Little did she know, You Chen had already done just that.
In the corner, Mu Qingyu, cool and elegant, also had a look of confusion and admiration in her eyes.
She then meticulously recorded these observations in her notebook.
It was her turn for the next duel.
