"I Special Summon Harpie Lady Sisters from my deck!"
Liu Wenhui glared at You Chen with hatred in her eyes and let out a sharp cry. Her chained offensive rapidly unfolded in that instant.
Before her, the Harpie Lady Sisters circled through the sky before finally gathering together and slowly descending.
Harpie Lady Sisters WIND Attribute/6 Stars/Winged Beast-Type ATK: 1950/DEF: 2100
However, due to Dark Cure and Side Effects, her Life Points dropped by another 975 LP.
Liu Wenhui had only 825 LP remaining.
This kind of duel was actually very different from online duels.
In real duels, constantly launching attacks and continuously taking Life Point damage could easily disrupt one's train of thought. Rising blood pressure could even make someone lose their head.
That was exactly Liu Wenhui's state right now. She had nearly forgotten what she was supposed to do next.
Fortunately, she eventually calmed down.
"Enter the Battle Phase!!"
Liu Wenhui clenched her delicate fists. Although the other side's deck was utterly disgusting, it had so many Continuous Spells that its back row was practically devoid of traps.
More importantly, You Chen had no monsters on his field.
With the three monsters on her field, she could absolutely take him down this turn!
Seeing this, Duoduo could not help shouting excitedly, "No way, is You Chen still about to get one-shot in the end? This situation is incredibly dangerous!"
The entire audience held its breath at that moment.
"Birdface, attack the opponent directly!"
Liu Wenhui pointed forward, her voice brimming with excitement.
"Hold on."
"Sorry, but the game is already over."
You Chen raised his eyes and slowly lifted a hand.
"What?!"
Liu Wenhui could hardly believe what she had just heard.
The entire audience drew in a sharp breath as well.
"No way, is it already over?"
"Oh my God!!"
"Seriously? He can be this ruthless against a Harpie deck?"
"This is f***ing hellish torture."
At that moment, the final set card before You Chen slowly rose.
"I activate the Trap Card Dice Re-Roll!"
"Both players toss a coin once. If it lands heads, they recover 2000 Life Points. If it lands tails, they take 2000 points of Life Point damage."
As You Chen finished speaking,
Liu Wenhui's head heated up, and she could not help saying, "It's not guaranteed to deal damage. What if I toss a recovery—"
"No!! Because of Side Effects."
"F***, I die either way?"
As Liu Wenhui spoke, she immediately realized something. Her pupils shook, and she staggered back two steps.
The commentators erupted as well.
Mi said, "No way! Th-That's too cruel! With these cards combined, this isn't Dice Re-Roll at all—it's a road to certain death!"
"It is as if Liu Wenhui's fate has been tightly clenched in You Chen's hand. She cannot move at all. No matter which path she takes from here, she cannot struggle free."
"How can a duel make people feel this hopeless?"
"This may be the most hopeless duel I've ever seen."
"A coin toss where heads or tails both mean death—I've never seen such a desperate situation where neither side can change anything."
As the commentator said that,
The spectators around them shuddered. It truly was despairing. They could not put themselves in her shoes even a little—if they did, their mentality would probably have already collapsed.
The more it was like this, the less anyone present could understand it.
How could these cards, each of which was trash nobody would ever use, be turned into this?
Yet in You Chen's hands, they actually became effective—and made people feel this hopeless?
Terrifying.
Xiao Shan was excited too. This kid really was a genius.
However, no matter what, the duel still had to continue.
You Chen felt that this was taking a little too long.
He could not help offering a warm reminder. "Classmate, please toss the coin and choose your own road to death."
Even the host could barely stand watching anymore.
He even wanted to ask whether she wanted to surrender.
But Liu Wenhui could not swallow that humiliation. She clutched the coin, unable to throw it no matter what.
Her blood pressure had already soared to 1500 Emotion Value!
This situation where she died no matter what, combined with You Chen's warm reminder,
had completely shattered her mentality.
"F*** you!!"
Liu Wenhui hurled the coin hard onto the ground.
She was so furious that tears fell from her eyes, and her eye sockets had turned red.
This loss was far too humiliating!
She really could not take it. She absolutely could not take it. It was as though You Chen had toyed with her at will while she was unable to resist, and he had even ended it with a warm reminder.
Liu Wenhui completely lost control of her emotions, turned around, and ran off.
This scene caught everyone off guard.
Good grief!
It was rare to see someone get this angry over a single duel.
Angry enough to cry, even.
This...
Seeing this, Xiao Shan had the strange feeling that Yu-Gi-Oh! had somehow become a one-player game. He did not say much, but he still looked toward Principal Liu of High School Five.
"Principal Liu, have the school doctor check that girl's blood pressure and give her some counseling. Don't let this leave her with lasting trauma."
Xiao Shan's words
left Principal Liu stunned.
Was playing cards really that serious?
But after seeing what had just happened, it was hard to say.
Where exactly had this You Chen come from? Why had High School Nine never heard of someone like him before?
His dueling ability was incredibly strong.
More importantly, he was a real scavenger!
You Chen had not expected his opponent to get this angry.
But after thinking about it, if she lost whether it was heads or tails, why the hell would she toss the coin? She could only surrender.
"Congratulations to You Chen of High School Nine for successfully advancing to the quarterfinals!!"
As the host's voice fell,
the entire audience finally came to its senses and erupted into cheers.
You Chen's duel had undoubtedly become a pillar of support for many duelists with weaker decks.
He had given them spiritual strength!
He had let them see the light.
For the first time, they realized that victory in duels did not depend solely on Rare Cards.
Meanwhile, Principal Hua was already grinning from ear to ear, smiling so broadly that her eyes had disappeared.
Inside the preparation room,
Hua Ningning was undoubtedly the most excited. Her eyes sparkled as she stared at the screen.
"I never expected this deck to be so strong."
"It seems even more despairing than You Chen's own Warm Worm Deck."
"Looking at it this way, You Chen's deckbuilding is truly terrifying. At the very least, it is far better than the bunch of celebrities in Kaiba Magazine half-assing things just to cash in."
Hua Ningning muttered to herself, even wondering whether she should recommend that You Chen give Kaiba Magazine a try.
Perhaps he really could become popular.
What she did not know was that You Chen had already done exactly that.
Mu Qingyu stood quietly in the corner, cool and elegant as always. Yet her eyes now held both confusion and admiration.
She then recorded these observations in her notebook.
Her next duel was about to begin.
