Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck, Depressing the World
With a "thud" on the field in front of Ayano, a huge ambush card appeared, ending the turn instantly.
"Now it's my turn, draw a card!"
Jiang He said, drawing cards from his Duel Disk deck.
After taking one look, a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.
One of the key cards, and it arrived in the first round?
He immediately placed the card he had drawn onto the Duel Disk!
"Activate a continuous spell from your hand, [Soul Absorption]!"
As Jiang He finished speaking, Spell Card with an image of a figure having its soul power absorbed appeared on the field in front of him!
"This card's effect is that whenever a card is banished, I recover 500 LP for each card banished."
"Is it a card that can counter my Spell Card, [Service Ace], which reduces the opponent's life force?!" Ayano's expression changed immediately, and he frowned with a serious look.
Even if the opponent guesses wrong, his [Service Ace] requires him to discard that card as a price to deal 1500 damage to the opponent.
Now that Jiang He has this Continuous Magic [Soul Absorption] on the field, his damage reduction is somewhat reduced.
However, very soon after he said that, he heard Jiang He say something with great disdain.
"If we rely on your banished card to restore health, I don't know how long it will take to recover even one point."
750 Immediately, Jiang He placed another card from his hand onto the Duel Disk! "Then I summon [Eater of Millions] in Attack Position!" "Awooo!!"
As a faint light appeared, the figure of a gray-black wolf monster materialized!
It appeared in the arena in front of Jiang He, howling!
[Eater of Millions]
[Star Rating: 4]
[Attribute: Dark]
[Attack Power: 1700]
[Defense: 300]
"[The Eater of Millions]...?" Upon seeing the gray wolf monster summoned by Jiang He, Jaden Yuki and the Chazz Princeton couldn't help but show expressions of confusion.
Even Bastion Misawa, who had a wealth of theoretical knowledge, looked bewildered.
Is this yet another new monster they've never seen before?
Jiang He really does have quite a few rare cards.
However, considering the extent to which someone could extort money, they all suddenly felt that it was perfectly reasonable for Jiang He to have so many rare cards!
Meanwhile, Ayano, who was his duel opponent, and the short, fat instructor and his companions also showed expressions of confusion.
Everyone looked at Jiang He, waiting for him to explain the situation.

"[Eater of Millions]'s special effect allows you to banish one monster from your hand when it is successfully summoned, and banish one monster of the same type as that monster from your Deck as well!" Jiang He said, his smile gradually brightening as he showed one card from his remaining four cards.
"I choose to banish this Level 4 Zombie monster [Necroface] from my hand, and also banish the second [Necroface] from my deck!" Jiang He saw the terrifying monster figure with disheveled tentacles and hair, resembling a blue ghost face, in the monster card shown in his hand.
Whether it was Bastion Misawa, Asuka Alexis Rhodes, or even Kaiser Zane Truesdale, who had somehow appeared in the spectator area, they all couldn't help but show expressions of surprise! "It's actually a four-star undead monster, [The Necroface]?!"
On the other side of the tennis court, Ayano, the duel opponent, and his short, chubby coach, standing on the other side, both had terrible expressions on their faces!
They clearly knew the monster's effects!
"Is that ugly-looking monster that Jiang He used particularly effective?" Syrus Truesdale and many other Duel Academy students watching the match asked with some doubt.
The same applies to the blond-haired mushroom-headed professor, Jaden Yuki Chazz Princeton.
"The special effect of [Necroface] is that when this card is banished, both players must banish the top five cards of their decks simultaneously." Bastion Misawa explained, a bead of cold sweat appearing on his face. Although he didn't know Jiang He's specific subsequent actions, just from banishing two [Necroface] monsters in succession, he could already sense a rather sinister aura and clues. "It seems someone does know the effect of [Necroface]. When it's banished, both players banish five cards from their decks. And because of the effect of [Eater of Millions] that I just summoned on the field, I banished two [Necroface]. That means you have to banish ten cards from your deck, just like me!" Jiang He said with a smile to the tennis champion Ayano in the distance opposite him.
Meanwhile, the [Necroface] monster he had indicated, and another identical card in his deck, began to glow and disappear as they were banished. "Banish ten cards...!"
Ayano gritted her teeth, her expression turning rather grim!
Although Jiang He also had to banish the top ten cards of his deck like him, he hadn't forgotten that this guy still had a Continuous Spell [Soul Absorption] that he had just activated on his field!
Each player can recover 500 LP for each card that is excluded!
"Buzz!!"
As Jiang He finished speaking, all ten cards on both players' Duel Disk simultaneously flashed and disappeared, banished! "You should know what I'm going to do, right? Ayano, the tennis champion, activate the effect of the Continuous Spell [Soul Absorption]. For each card banished by either player, I recover 500 LP!" Jiang He a faint smile and a wave of his hand. His words immediately surprised many spectators who understood the chain reaction!
"That underachiever Jiang He, along with Ayano, had a total of twenty-two cards banished, including those two [Necroface] monsters. That means the underachiever can recover... eleven thousand life points?!"
After calculating the amount of health Jiang He could recover using his fingers, the short, chubby coach stared in shock, his already large eyes widening in disbelief!
They were completely stunned!
Alexis Rhodes, along with Chazz Princeton, Jaden Yuki, and the other Duel Academy students watching from the surrounding area, were all taken aback by the amount of health points restored!
Not to mention his duel opponent, tennis champion Ayano.
At this moment, the expression on his face had completely darkened.
Ayano suddenly understood why all those students from the Duel Academy had broken out in a cold sweat and shook their heads when they mentioned dueling with Jiang He!
This guy's deck seems even more bizarre than his bleed tennis deck!
He finally gained the initiative and reduced Jiang He's HP by 1500 LP in the first round, but this guy immediately recovered 11,000 LP!
How can he continue to bleed him now?
The result that Ayano was able to calculate.
Even if he used both of his remaining [Service Ace] Spell Card, he could only deal 3000 damage to Jiang He! Furthermore, activating this damage-dealing effect required banishing one of his own cards, and the continuous spell [Soul Absorption] would restore 500 LP to Jiang He...
[Ding, Ayano's Emotion Points +400!]
Upon hearing the pleasant system notification, Jiang He immediately revealed a somewhat satisfied expression.
Although it was slightly less than what Zhao Li had gained from the Shadow Duel between the old man Kagemaru and that unlucky old man Titan and others.
Even a mosquito's leg is still meat!
Moreover, starting with 400 Emotion Points is not a small amount!
At the same time, a blue light shone from the shadow of the [Soul Absorption] card, a perpetual magic, on the field in front of Jiang He.
His health, which had been reduced to [2500LP], was directly increased by 11,000 points, becoming [13500LP]!
It's directly about "three lives" and much more!
"That card you planted must be a Life-Draining Trap like Magic Cylinder, which can Null and Void the opponent's monster attacks and inflict damage, right?" Jiang He said to the other party with a smile.
"Let me use the simplest method to verify my guess! After all, having too many health points is a real problem!"
Chapter 234 Jiang He: You're right, so what's next? [Please subscribe]
"Having too much health is a problem?!"
Upon hearing Jiang He's words, everyone, including Ayano, his dueling opponent in the distance, as well as Vice Chancellor Bonaparte and a large number of other students from the Duel Academy watching from the sidelines of the tennis court, couldn't help but darken their faces and reveal eyes that seemed to want to kill someone!
Is this something a human being could say?!
During their duels, they often felt that 4000 LP might not be enough!
Even Alexis Rhodes and Bastion Misawa, who were on Jiang He's side, couldn't help but facepalm.
Jiang He He's ability to draw aggro is truly hellish! [Eater of Millions] attacks directly, Gray Wolf's Bite!
As Jiang He waved his hand, the enormous gray wolf monster on the field in front of him howled and leaped up, lunging at his opponent! "Tch! Looks like I have no choice but to activate it to retaliate! Activate the Ambush Card, Trap [Ace Return]!" Seeing the gray wolf monster, Eater of Millions, pounce from mid-air, Ayano gritted his teeth and pointed to the only Ambush Card on the field in front of him! 750 "Buzz!!"
A trap was suddenly lifted, revealing an image of a tennis player swinging and catching a ball!
"When an opponent's monster launches a direct attack, Null and Void that attack and inflict 1500 damage to your opponent! In return, send the top three cards of your deck to the Graveyard!" "Whew!!"
A gust of reverse Mystical Space Typhoon suddenly blew out from the opened Trap Card, directly blowing the charging [Eater of Millions] back, causing it to fall back onto the field in front of Jiang He!
The Mystical Space Typhoon blowing in the opposite direction continued to lash Jiang He relentlessly.
This caused his originally absurdly high health value of [13500LP] to decrease by 1500, down to [12000LP].
Exactly three lives!
Although they successfully reduced Jiang He's HP by 1500 LP again, Ayano and the short, chubby coach were not happy at all looking at the still ridiculously low HP...
At this point, both sides have three cards in their hands. One side (bafc) has an empty field, while Jiang He has a [Eater of Millions] with 1700 attack power and a rather sinister [Soul Absorption], a continuous spell that counters damage-dealing decks.
Not to mention that absurd 12,000 health points!
It's obvious who's at a disadvantage!
"Next, I'll place two more cards in ambush. Turn over!"
With a smile, Jiang He took out two cards from his hand, placed them on his Duel Disk, and ended his turn.
He could only say that tennis champion Ayano and Vice Chancellor Bonaparte had clearly overlooked something.
Then let's talk about the remaining cards in the deck!
You should know that this isn't some healing deck; it's a gruesome card-cutting and health-cutting deck!
Restoring health points was just a side effect. (The villain is accusing the victim first.) At this moment, Ayano's Duel Disk only had 21 cards left!
Including the starting hand, in just one turn, half the time has been gone! My turn, draw a card!
With a serious expression, Ayano drew a card from the top of his Duel Disk deck! After glancing at it, a smile finally returned to his face as he confidently said to Jiang He, "Even if you have 12,000 life points right now, I can still reduce them for you! Jiang He!" "Activate the Spell Card [Pot of Greed] from my hand, draw two cards from my deck!" A large, green, grotesque-faced pot immediately appeared next to Ayano, then automatically shattered and disappeared as he drew two cards.
This brought his hand to five cards!
"Then activate the Spell Card from my hand, [Ace Smash]!" As Ayano revealed the two Spell Card in his hand, two huge card images of a tennis player smashing a ball against his opponent simultaneously appeared on the field in front of him!
"This card's effect is to send the top card of your deck to the Graveyard. If that card is a Monster Card, inflict 1000 damage to your opponent!" Ayano said, placing his hand on top of his own Duel Disk deck.
"I activated two copies of the Spell Card [Ace Smash], which means I sent the top two cards of my deck to the Graveyard. If both of them are monsters, then I inflict 2000 damage on you!"
"Is it another direct damage Spell Card similar to that [Service Ace] card that guesses the type of hand?" Jiang He continued to watch his opponent's performance without any panic, and even his expression became a little strange.
He stated that even if both cards were monsters, they would only deal him a "mere" 2000 points of damage at most.
However, the opponent's "helpful" act of sending cards from their deck to the graveyard one after another to reduce the number of cards in their own deck was commendable.
Jiang He felt a little embarrassed.
He really wanted to ask, "Hasn't this guy realized that he only has 16 cards left in his deck...?" The first card is a monster! The second card is also a monster!
Ayano drew two cards from her deck in Ayano succession, and with a smug smile, gestured to Jiang He.
There was even a flash of light on his teeth.
This is his card-drawing ability as a duelist!
However, Ayano, soon noticed Jiang He nodding perfunctorily, with a calm, "You're right, so what's next?" expression, as if watching a show.
[Ding, Ayano's Emotion Points +500!] "Damn it...!"
