Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck, Depressing the World
"I choose to pay 1000 LP to draw one card from my deck."
Jiang He smiled faintly as he placed his hand on his Duel Disk deck and drew a card.
His [4000LP] health points also decreased little by little to [3000LP].
Immediately afterward, he raised the Duel Disk he was wearing and activated the Field Spell Zone on it!
"Activate the second Field Spell, [Chicken Race]!"
"This time, I choose to pay 1000 LP of life points to destroy this Field Spell itself!"
"What?!"
Seeing Jiang He's outrageous move, even Aster, a professional duelist, couldn't help but look somewhat bewildered!
He stared at Jiang He, his head full of question marks.
What... what is this happening?
Could it be that this guy started this [Chicken Race] event not to compete with him and see who dares to sacrifice their own life points to gain a 5.2 advantage for themselves?
Is this a tactical game?!
Even Alexis Rhodes, Chazz Princeton, and Jaden Yuki, who were watching from the sidelines, were completely bewildered.
Actually, she/they just now shared similar views and considerations with Aster.
I find this Field Spell quite interesting.
Some of them even developed an interest and a fighting spirit!
As a result, Jiang He countered with an unexpected and surprising move, waking them all up!
What kind of Chicken Race this?
He activated this venue without ever intending for his opponent to use it!
It's purely about drawing cards and... reducing your own health!

"Boom!!"
As Jiang He calmly watched his [3000LP] health points decrease by another 1000, this was the price for activating the Field Spell [Chicken Race].
The steep cliff below, which had just risen, collapsed instantly and disappeared quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the scene returned to the open space in front of the Slifer Red Dormitory! "Then, I activate the Continuous Spell [Spellbinding Circle] from my hand!" Jiang He placed one of his remaining three cards on the Duel Disk!
A perpetual spell, depicting a monstrous figure bound by magical energy shackles, suddenly appeared on the field before him in a flash of orange-yellow light! "[Spellbinding Circle]?!"
Upon seeing Jiang He unleash the perpetual magic [Spellbinding Circle], both Aster, his dueling opponent, and Jaden Yuki and the others watching from the sidelines immediately recognized it.
This card is truly one of the most famous and rare cards in the world of Duel!
He is a legendary duelist who supposedly dueled with the King of Games, Yugi Muto, and used this magic to limit his opponent's blood-draining effect!
However, the timing of Jiang He's attack immediately alerted Aster, making him realize that something was amiss!
I'm afraid this guy isn't meant to drain his blood, but rather to drain his own!
"The effect of [Spellbinding Circle] is that each card that both players summon, Special Summon, or set from their hand, as well as each card that is activated, must pay 500 LP Life Points!" Jiang He said with a beaming smile.
"If Jiang He activates [Spellbinding Circle] at this moment, does that mean that the Field Spell [Chicken Race] just now was also aimed at reducing his own health as quickly as possible?!" Alexis Rhodes exclaimed in surprise, as if she had just realized something.
The others also showed a change in expression, realizing this as well.
Soon, they saw Jiang He's smile, which could almost be described as an acknowledgment, on the dueling arena.
He's reducing his own health!
"After that, activate the Spell Card from your hand: [Upstart Goblin]!"
Jiang He then revealed another familiar Spell Card from his remaining two cards!
This is clearly the same card-drawing Spell Card used in the previous One-Turn Kill Exodia the Forbidden One Deck!
"This card's effect is to draw one card from your deck, and then, as a price, restore 1000 LP to your opponent!"
"That damn Spell Card has appeared again...!"
In an instant, it was as if a memory etched deep within his soul had been awakened, and Wan Zhangmu shuddered.
A bead of cold sweat suddenly appeared on his face.
Although it wasn't him dueling with Jiang He this time, it was that seemingly annoying freshman, Aster, whose health points were being increased.
But Chazz Princeton always felt that even his own life points, which were just watching from the sidelines, were already dwindling like a candle in the wind!
As Jiang He drew cards from his deck, Aster's original [4000LP] life points increased to a full [5000LP]!
On the contrary, Jiang He himself was affected because he had just used a card from his hand.
Under the effect of the [Spellbinding Circle] spell he activated himself, his health, which had already decreased to [2000 LP], decreased by another 500, bringing it down to [1500 LP]!
However, upon seeing this, Aster's expression completely lost its original smile, instead becoming extremely serious!
Jiang He's constant reduction of his own health points, coupled with his bizarre actions that seemed to be the opposite of what was actually happening to Jiang He, made Jiang He feel as if it wasn't Jiang He's health points that were being reduced.
It's his own life points!
This includes the same amount of health points restored to him that were restored to Jiang He!
Especially when Jiang He drew the card just now, he felt as if a special aura flashed past on this guy!
Is the final, decisive blow about to strike?
"Then I pay 1000 LP as the price of using two cards from my hand, burying one card, and then activate the Spell Card [Reversal Quiz] from my hand!"
Jiang He placed the card he had just drawn using his divine draw skill [Top-Tier Clear Mind] directly onto the Duel Disk!
A figure wearing a hat with a question mark on its head is slapping a giant Spell Card image with a question button pattern in front of it, as if it's answering a question.
It instantly appeared on the ground in front of Jiang He!
"[The Reversal Quiz]?!"
Whether it was Chazz Princeton and Tyranno Hassleberry watching from the sidelines, or Aster, a professional 770 duelist, they all showed expressions of surprise and confusion.
Clearly, they've never seen this card before!
I don't know its effects!
Everyone waited for Jiang He's explanation.
"This card's effect: Send all cards in your hand and on the field to the graveyard, then guess the type of the top card in your deck. If you guess correctly..."
Under Aster's bewildered gaze, Jiang He, with a sunny smile, raised a finger and continued, "Then let's swap our life points!" "What?!"
Aster's expression changed instantly, revealing an expression of disbelief!
His ominous premonition actually came true!
The life points that Jiang He just swiftly and generously reduced were really his!
Even Chazz Princeton, his simple-minded little brother Tyranno Hassleberry, and Professor Banner instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
I really want to complain about Jiang He.
The underworld is still the same underworld!
So all that generous reduction of his own health was just a pretense of generosity, using his opponent's health as bait?!

"But you still need to guess what the card at the top of your deck is Jiang He can successfully activate the effect of the Spell Card [Reversal Quiz] and exchange life points, right?" At this moment, Syrus Truesdale couldn't help but raise his question as a poor student.
"Don't worry, Sho. Jiang He's card-drawing skills are pretty strong too. He'll definitely be able to guess what the top card in the deck is." Jaden Yuki immediately gave a reassuring answer, like an older brother who's a bit of a slacker.
He looked completely confident in Jiang He.
"..." Alexis Rhodes, along with Chazz Princeton, Tyranno Hassleberry, and the others, all looked at the two of them with eyes that seemed to regard them as pigs.
Like father, like son.
This student is at the absolute worst academically and incredibly slow-witted.
"Junior, guess what kind of card I can guess is the one at the top of my deck?"
As the card that had just been laid in wait and the previously activated Continuous Spell [Spellbinding Circle] both vanished in a flash, sent to the Graveyard. Jiang He placed his hand on his Duel Disk deck, smiling broadly at his duel opponent, the little gray-haired Aster, and said, "Damn it...!"
Aster's expression darkened. Was this guy playing a trick on him...?
Judging from the seven cards Jiang He had just used, all of which were Spell Card, he already had a vague premonition of what was going on.
This guy's deck is probably all Spell Card!
There are absolutely no other types of cards!
In other words, there is absolutely no possibility of guessing wrong!
And if he wasn't mistaken, most of the cards in this deck Spell Card with card-drawing effects, just like the previous [Upstart Goblin] deck!
This ensures an almost 100% success rate for this coordinated approach!
[Ding! Aster's Emotion Points +800!]
"Senior, it's best to just guess for yourself and not be misled by me."
Aster, his face darkening, forced himself to remain calm and said with difficulty.
I absolutely do not want to get involved with Jiang He!
"Then I'll just guess a category. I'll guess it's Spell Card." Jiang He "guessed" with an expression that said, "I'm just relying on luck," and drew the card from the top of his deck, showing it to the player.
The card drawn was a Spell Card, [Pot of Greed]! "Huh? Looks like my luck is pretty good today, I guessed it right!" Seeing Jiang He's dramatic "surprise," Aster's face darkened.
Even those standing next to him, such as Jaden Yuki, Alexis Rhodes Judai who had already realized the details, and Chazz Princeton, were all looking at Jiang He with black lines on their faces.
I couldn't help but want to unleash a torrent of complaints.
Good luck my foot!
Since they are all Spell Card, there's no way I could have guessed wrong!
[Ding, Aster's Emotion Points +800!] "Buzz!!"
The next second, the Spell Card [Reversal Quiz] on Jiang He's field was successfully activated.
The huge difference in life points between the two sides, originally [500LP] versus [5000LP], was directly swapped!
Jiang He's original mere 500LP of health points instantly jumped to 5000LP.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Aster, his dueling opponent, whose original health was a full [5000 LP], instantly reduced to a pitiful [500 LP]!
"However, senior, even if we exchange life points, I still have [500LP] life points, which doesn't mean I can complete the kill you mentioned."
Seeing this, Aster's face darkened, and his mindset gradually changed. Since this ordeal began, for the first time he felt a strong and serious determination to win this duel against this despicable bastard!
However, the next second...
