Upon hearing the pleasant system notification, Jiang He smiled broadly and said...

"I'm sorry to say, but you probably won't be able to get that card in your deck."

"My turn, draw a card!"

After drawing a card from his Duel Disk deck, Jiang He didn't even look at it before smilingly taking one of the two cards he had added to his hand from the previous [Elemental HERO Shadow Mist] effect and placing it on his Duel Disk!

"Summoned in Defense Position, [Destiny HERO - Defender]!"

"Scold!!"

As Jiang He finished speaking, a dark light suddenly appeared on the field in front of him, transforming into a huge figure clad in cement-colored city wall armor. The figure appeared on the field in front of Jiang He in a half-crouching defensive posture, shouting in a deep, gruff voice, on the huge horizontal card shadow that had appeared!

[D·hero Defender]

[Star Rating: 4]

[Attribute: Dark]

[Attack Power: 100]

[Defense Strength: 2700]

"D. hero, Destiny HERO?! Is it yet another new Hero series monster?!" Bastion Misawa exclaimed in shock from the audience.

Everyone, including Kaiser Zane Truesdale and the bald Chancellor Sheppard, stared in shock as Jiang He unleashed the new D. hero monster form once again!

The three brand-new Hero Monsters that Jiang He used seemed to have hit a nerve in their knowledge!

They were all things I'd never seen before.

"And it's actually a four-star monster with a defense rating of 2700?" Alexis Rhodes said with some surprise.

Generally speaking, there shouldn't be any low-star monsters that possess such strong defensive capabilities, unless they have some negative effects that limit their own strength.

"A four-star monster's defense is even higher than the attack of [Elemental HERO Bladedge] on the field...!" Syrus Truesdale exclaimed in surprise, swallowing his hand.

Only Jaden Yuki, his dueling opponent, was slightly shocked.

It's like having so much debt you're not afraid of getting bitten by lice.

After all, this monster only has high defense and will not pose any threat to him for the time being.

The only thing he couldn't understand was why Jiang He had only summoned a defensive monster after saying what he did.

"[Destiny HERO - Defender] While possessing extremely high defensive capabilities, it also has a 'negative effect': during the opponent's turn, the opponent can draw an extra card during their draw phase!"

Jiang He thoughtfully explained the "negative" effects of [Destiny HERO - Defender] to Jaden Yuki and the others... (Requesting flowers...)

Upon hearing this, Syrus Truesdale subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and smiled to himself, saying, "So there's such a negative effect. Then the extremely high defense of 2700 can be explained!" The others also subconsciously nodded in agreement.

Wait, wait!

The next second, Kaiser Zane Truesdale, along with Alexis, Bastion Misawa, and several other strong fighters, were the first to react and abruptly looked up!

I've noticed something's not right!

"No, no! Is this really a negative effect?!" Bastion Misawa exclaimed in surprise with a strange expression.

Upon hearing Alexis Rhodes, Jasmine and Mindy, Asuka's two close friends, seemed to realize something and covered their mouths in surprise, saying, "[Masked HERO Dark Law]'s effect is that when the opponent adds a card from their deck to their hand outside of their normal draw phase each turn, Jiang He will randomly discard one card from their hand once per turn."

"... Originally, if it were Jaden Yuki's turn and he drew a card normally, the effect of [Masked HERO Dark Law] would not be able to activate."

"However, due to the 'negative effect' of [Destiny HERO - Defender], Jaden Yuki will draw an extra card during the gacha phase because of the effect!"

"Let the second effect of [Masked HERO Dark Law] be activated!"

Alexis Rhodes nodded in surprise, observing the situation on the field and confirming what the two had said.

That guy Jiang He, he turned the negative effects of [Destiny HERO - Defender] into amazing chain combos!

"One [Masked HERO Dark Law] banishes one card from your hand, two banish two cards, and Jaden Yuki, due to the effect of [Destiny HERO - Defender], can only draw two cards per turn..."

Professor Crowler muttered his calculations to himself and quickly arrived at a conclusion that made his eyes widen in surprise.

In other words, the two cards Jaden Yuki draws each turn will be banished immediately after being drawn?

It's like not drawing any cards every round?!

This is practically blocking Jaden Yuki's chance to draw cards every turn!

Upon hearing Jiang He's description of the [Destiny HERO - Defender]'s effects, everyone immediately thought of this rather sinister aspect!

Bastion Misawa and Professor Crowler, along with the large number of the Duel Academy students surrounding the arena, couldn't help but want to shout wildly at Jiang He in their hearts!

Stop it! You're not a righteous ally at all! Maru.

"No way!"

Upon realizing this as well, Jaden Yuki's face fell!

His face immediately fell, and he collapsed, clutching his head in despair!

If his cards were the type that could only be activated after being banished by an effect, he could at least counter Jiang He He's incredibly absurd tactics. But the problem is, his HERO Deck doesn't have any cards like that at all!

Jiang He has even blocked out his joy of drawing cards!

Jaden Yuki was completely stunned on the spot.

I really want to ask Jiang He, is this something a person from the mortal realm could actually pull off?

[Ding! Jaden Yuki's Emotion Points +1000!]

My turn is over.

Hearing the extremely pleasant system notification sound, Jiang He ended the round with a delighted smile on his face.

Although Jaden Yuki has "610" with 2600 attack power [Elemental HERO Bladedge] on his field, with his two Friendship-Ending HERO with 2400 attack power and one [Destiny HERO - Defender] with high defense power on his field, he has no way to destroy the opponent for the time being.

This completely wipes out the remaining [400LP] HP of that hot-blooded idiot Jaden, defeating him.

However, at this moment, Jiang He was not worried at all about Jaden Yuki making a stunning comeback!

Seeing that Jiang He had finished his turn, Alexis Rhodes, Bastion Misawa, Professor Crowler, and the large number of the Duel Academy students around them all turned their strange gazes slowly towards Jaden Yuki!

At this point, Jaden Yuki had zero cards in his hand. Besides an Ambush card that should be unusable, he only had Bladedge on the field, which he couldn't attack because of the Trap Card that Jiang He had set up on the field.

And those two cards that are about to be drawn are completely unreliable...

It's practically a death sentence.

"My turn, draw a card...!" Jaden Yuki said hesitantly, his face contorted with pain.

My hand trembled slightly as I drew the card.

He can no longer experience the joy of the once-funny card-drawing process!

As Jaden Yuki drew two cards, a dark energy light immediately shone from those two cards in his hand.

The source was clearly the two clawed hero-monster figures clad in jet-black armor on the field in front of Jiang He!

"Activate the special effect of [Masked HERO Dark Law]: When your opponent adds a card from their deck to their hand outside of a normal draw, randomly discard one card from your hand!" Jiang He snapped his fingers with a broad smile.

"I now have two [Masked HERO Dark Law] cards on the field, Jaden, you obviously need to banish two cards from your hand!" Whoosh!

The next second, with the snap of his fingers, the two cards in Jaden Yuki's hand, which hadn't even warmed up yet, were immediately destroyed by the further attack of the two Dark Claw Hero Monsters on the field in front of Jiang He.

It vanished instantly into the dark energy light, except for those who were familiar with it.

"..." Jaden Yuki was completely stunned.

He suddenly understood why the people who had fought Jiang He before had experienced a spike in blood pressure!

Even the Duel Academy students who were just watching from around the arena felt a chill run down their spines!

My brain is trembling!

"Since there are no other ways to break this, we can only gamble on this attack!"

After careful consideration, Jaden Yuki gritted his teeth, made a firm decision, and clenched his fist.

"Here we go, Jiang He! [Elemental HERO Bladedge], attack the first [Masked HERO Dark Law]! Bladedge Impact!" "Hah!!"

The golden, metal-clad hero monster with its wrist blades leaped into the air, propelled by its jet of energy, and charged towards one of the Dark Claw hero monsters on the field in front of Jiang He.

Clearly, Jaden Yuki, that hot-blooded idiot, has poured all his last remaining hope and all his frustration into Bladedge's attack!

However, Alexis Rhodes, who was watching from a distance, along with Bastion Misawa and their Professor Banner, all shook their heads.

I have absolutely no idea that Jaden Yuki's gamble has any hope whatsoever.

Although the scene inexplicably made her/them feel a little tragic.

But the Trap Card hidden on the Jiang He was clearly not just something to scare people.

And indeed, that is the case!

"Activate the ambush card, trap [Sakuretsu Armor]!"

Seeing the attack, Jiang He calmly raised his hand, gesturing towards the last remaining Ambush card on the field in front of him!

As the trap was activated, a pattern appeared showing a black demonic figure approaching, its armor shattered! This can only be activated when an opponent's monster attacks, destroying that attacking monster!

"Ugh!!"

The golden, metallic-armored hero-monster had barely leaped forward when it was instantly struck by a black beam of light from the [Sakuretsu Armor] trap. With a loud "bang," it shattered into countless particles and vanished! All hope was extinguished.

[Ding! Jaden Yuki's Emotion Points +800!]

At this point, Jaden Yuki had zero cards in his hand, zero cards on the field, and not even any cards in his graveyard that could activate graveyard effects.

In addition, there is only a paltry [400LP] health remaining.

The outcome of this duel is already self-evident!

In the next round, after drawing a card, Jiang He immediately used [Masked HERO Dark Law] to attack Jaden Yuki, giving it a dignified end.

He instantly depleted Jaden's remaining life points! I won! What an interesting duel!

Jiang He immediately delivered the final blow to [Masked HERO Dark Law]. Under the slight pain caused by the attack of 5.2, Jaden, that hot-blooded idiot who was kneeling on the ground, pulled off a "stealing the account in front of him and returning the favor" move!

"..." Jaden Yuki's face immediately darkened, and a bead of cold sweat rolled down his cheeks.

He suddenly realized that befriending Jiang He was the biggest mistake of his life.

But now that I've already made friends, it seems there's nothing I can do about it.

"Jiang He, he's certainly a worthy opponent, but now I think I should reconsider whether I should have a duel with him someday." Kaiser Zane Truesdale said after watching the duel and seeing Jiang He's figure in the distance, after a moment of silence.

He had just realized that his idea that his previous duel with Jiang He could reignite his fighting spirit seemed a bit hasty.

"Then I declare that the winner of this Duel Academy representative battle is, Slifer Red Dormitory, Jiang He!" Bald Chancellor Sheppard immediately stood up with a smile, clapped, and then raised his hand to announce. With the strength that Jiang He has shown so far, even Kaiser Zane Truesdale, the top student of the Duel Academy and a third-year student, felt that he was a formidable opponent worthy of a fight.

"It seems we have a good chance of winning this year's duel against the North Academy!" "My goodness, the underachiever boy has become the academy representative, this is a nightmare!" The blond, mushroom-headed professor slumped into a corner, hugging his knees and muttering to himself.

His facial expressions were full of exaggerated expressions!
