Chapter 587: Loss in silence!
"Haha, Duel King, you don't need to be so nervous!"
As he spoke, he unfolded his duel disk and said with a sneer, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Iwamaru, and I am one of the guardians of Lord Saiou Misaki. I am also the strongest duelist who possesses the power of all four emperors!"
As if he was deliberately showing off the power he had obtained, Iwamaru exposed the power of the elves in his body without any disguise while speaking. The four elements of fire, ice, thunder and earth, which symbolize the power of the four emperors, were wrapped around his body. It must be said that this feeling of power also greatly satisfied Iwamaru's vanity.
"The power of the four emperors? Hmm, it really is an incomplete emperor deck!"
In his previous life, Li Youfeng had won the Duel King World Championship five times, so he was naturally very familiar with the Emperor deck. Although there were a large number of cards in this deck, and even the effects of the monsters were extremely targeted, in fact, if it was applied to competitive games, many cards would be almost useless.
In the official competition of Yu-Gi-Oh, blocking effect is regarded as a crucial factor. Duel Monsters have their own unique features, whether it is cards or decks.
In fact, because the balance of Duel Monsters has always been a major problem recognized by players, the core concept of most players in constructing decks is: whoever can deploy his own formation first and prevent the opponent from deploying, then whoever is most likely to become the winner of this duel.
Situations like in the Yu-Gi-Oh anime where the ace monsters are evenly matched and fight back and forth are basically impossible to happen in real duels.
After all, there were few dog-pullers in Li Youfeng's original world, and in the competitive arena of Yu-Gi-Oh, blocking the opponent's strategy and tactics was the key. Duel Monsters' cards and deck designs were unique, but their common goal was to deploy their own layout as quickly as possible.
As a common problem in card competitive games, striking first often means taking the initiative, being able to quickly deploy your own deck, and releasing powerful monsters and magic traps, which can not only put pressure on the opponent, but also disrupt the opponent's plans.
Therefore, even if the rule that the player with the first turn can draw cards is eventually cancelled in real competitions for the sake of so-called balance, in reality, the player who gets the first turn still has a winning rate of about 70% even if he only has five cards.
"Hmph! I have no interest in what kind of power you possess. I just want to ask you one question: why do you want to involve my family? If you want to challenge me to a duel, you can just come to me directly. There is no need to use such despicable means, right?"
Already having a general understanding of the cards used by the other party, Li Youfeng smiled faintly with cold eyes. Although he did not regard a clown of this level as his opponent, the behavior of dancing back and forth on his head had already touched his bottom line.
"Haha, there are some things you can't say like that!"
Iwamaru, who didn't notice Li Youfeng's increasingly ugly expression, thought he had obtained the "complete" Emperor Card and continued, "Even though I have announced my retirement, after all, because of your existence, no Duelist has been able to get the title of Duel King so far. In order to avoid you from refusing, I think this is still necessary!"
Good man, since you are addicted to playing cards, you have to find a suitable reason to play cards, right?
In fact, Li Youfeng had already gotten used to the nature of the duel world, so it was both "unexpected and reasonable" that Iwamaru would have such an attitude towards him.
Slowly raising his left arm and opening his duel disk, Li Youfeng took out a set of cards that had been constructed long ago from the card box on his waist and inserted it into it.
"In that case, then stop talking nonsense and let's start the duel. After all, I don't have much time to waste on you!"
"Hmph, how shameless! Li Youfeng, you have no idea what kind of opponent you will face next. From today on, the title of Duel King will have a new owner!"
"Duel!" X2
Li Youfeng LP4000
Iwamaru LP4000
"I get to attack first, draw a card!"
With a grim smile, Enmaru drew a card from his deck and started his turn first.
"The special effect of Flame Emperor's retainer Belinis is activated!"
"The effect of this monster is that you can discard a card in your hand and then Special Summon this monster!"
"Now, I will send the Emperor of the True Source Continuous Trap Card to the Graveyard, and then Special Summon Flame Emperor's Retainer Belinis in Attack Position!" (Attack 800 Defense 1000)
"The Deep Grudge of the Magic Card King is activated!"
“这张卡的效果是，把手卡1只攻击力2400点守备力1000点的怪兽或者一只攻击力2800点守备力1000点的怪兽给对方观看才能发动，我可以从卡组把帝王的深怨以外的一张帝王魔法或者陷阱卡加入手卡。”
"According to this effect, I will show you Exploding Emperor Testaros in my hand, and then add the Field Spell Cajun Emperor Domain to your hand!"
Without any hesitation, he inserted the Field Magic Card he had just retrieved into the card slot. Iwamaru shouted domineeringly, "Field Magic Card activated, True Emperor Domain!"
As Iwamaru shouted, the surrounding space seemed to be torn apart, making waves of twisting and breaking sounds. Then, a gloomy and terrifying palace slowly emerged, replacing the original shrine environment.
This palace looks very old, as if it has experienced the baptism of countless years and appears dilapidated. However, with the blessing of various runes, the entire palace is filled with a depressing atmosphere that makes people shudder.
"Hehe! Did you see that, Duel King? This is the realm of the true emperor. Here, you will truly experience the true power of the emperor's deck!"
As he spoke, he showed a card to Li Youfeng and said loudly: "The special effect of Mithra, the retainer of the Thunder Emperor, is activated!"
"This monster can be Special Summoned from your hand during your Main Phase. Then, I can Special Summon a "Retainer Token" (Thunder-Tribe·Light·1*·ATK 800/DEF 1000) in Defense Position on your opponent's field!"
"Obey my call and show yourself, Mithra, retainer of the Thunder Emperor!" (Attack 800 Defense 1000)
"Wait a moment, I also want to activate the monster's special effect at this moment!"
Seeing that Iwamaru had successfully Special Summoned two monsters, Li Youfeng, who had already confirmed that the former had Explosive Emperor in his hand, raised his hand and slapped a card on the duel disk.
"The special effect of the extra masker is activated!"
"The effect of this card is that when the opponent player Special Summon a monster, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. Now, I will Special Summon Extra Masker in Defense Position!"
Deliberately concealing the hidden effect of the additional masker, Li Youfeng smiled sinisterly and made a "please continue" gesture to Yanwan.
"Humph, you really don't know what you are talking about!"
Looking at Li Youfeng special summoning a small monster with a defense of only 200 points, Iwamaru sneered with disdain, and his tone was full of sarcasm and contempt.
"Li Youfeng, are you getting old and confused? Don't you know that you can't attack in the first round? Besides, what use can a small monster with only 200 points of defense have? Do you still expect it to be able to withstand my next attack?"
Facing Yan Wan's sarcasm, Li Youfeng remained unusually calm. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile: "Don't bother you worrying about me!"
"Tsk! You are such a mysterious fellow, Li Youfeng, just wait and see! Soon, I will make you realize clearly that your era is gone forever!"
Iwamaru was very keenly aware of the other party's contemptuous attitude towards him, and naturally felt a little unhappy. After all, he had obtained the complete power of the Four Emperors. With the blessing of the power of the elves, Iwamaru obviously felt that he was already equal to the Duel King.
(Diva: “Actually, that’s what I thought!”)
In the world of dueling, trash talking to each other can be regarded as an unwritten "traditional virtue". Having lived in this world for so many years, Li Youfeng has long been accustomed to this kind of behavior of local duelists.
"I haven't performed a Normal Summon this turn. Now, I will offer the Flame Emperor's retainers and the Thunder Emperor's retainers on the field as sacrifices!"
He raised the card in his hand above his head, and due to the power of Entei, red flames began to appear around Iwamaru.
"The red lotus fire of the Hell of Flame will destroy all living things. Feel the wrath of the Flame Emperor!"
"Obey my call and show yourself, Explosion Emperor Testaros, attack display!" (Attack 2800 Defense 1000)
A red pillar of fire shot up into the sky above Iwamaru's field because of the two sacrifices, and with it appeared the Explosion Emperor Testaros wearing red armor!
"Haha, the special effect of Exploding Emperor Testaros is activated!"
"When this monster is Advanced Summoned, it can activate a special effect. It can check the opponent's hand and then choose a card to discard. If the discarded card is a monster card, it can inflict effect damage equal to the level of the opponent's monster x 200 points!"
"Li Youfeng, show me your cards now so I can pick one!"
"Haha, of course!" He smiled and showed his cards to Iwamaru, and Li Youfeng's four cards were also presented in front of the former.
"Hmm? Magic Card Angel's Charity, Magic Card Bitter Choice, Monster Card Joining Hands with Demons, Nani? Obelisk's Giant God Soldier?"
He never expected that there was an Obelisk's Giant God Soldier in Li Youfeng's hand. Surprised, Iwamaru raised his hand and pointed at the card without any hesitation.
nonsense!
Faced with the legendary God Cards, which only have three of them, basically every duelist would know what to choose. Moreover, although the God Cards have extremely strong resistance, if they are not summoned to the field, they are at best just a card!
"Hehe! I didn't expect my luck to be so good!" Licking the corner of his mouth, Yanwan laughed obscenely, "Li Youfeng, throw the giant soldier of the god Kaobelisk into the cemetery!"
"Hehe! Just as I expected, you actually chose this card!"
Unlike what Iwamaru had expected, Li Youfeng, who was forced to throw the God Card into the cemetery, not only did not hesitate at all, but he also imitated Iwamaru's expression and laughed in a very obscene manner.
"Asshole, you dare to imitate me?!"
It must be said that Li Youfeng's behavior naturally made Yanwan very unhappy. Pointing at his own Explosion Emperor Testaros, Yanwan said loudly without any hesitation: "Explosion Emperor Testaros' special effect is activated!"
"If this monster is successfully summoned by releasing a fire attribute monster, it can cause 1000 points of effect damage to the opponent. In addition, because Obelisk's God Warrior is a ten-star monster, you will continue to receive 2000 points of effect damage!"
"Hahaha! Duel King, just accept the 3000 points of damage from this attack!"
Along with Iwamaru's wild and arrogant laughter, the Explosion Emperor Testaros quickly condensed a huge fireball and threw it at Li Youfeng.
Just as the fireball was about to hit Li Youfeng, at this critical moment, the extra shielder standing in front of Li Youfeng suddenly waved the cloak in his hand and hit the fireball back like a volleyball.
"Haha~hiccup~!!"
He was still laughing, but this sudden change made Iwamaru feel like a rooster whose throat was strangled while it was crowing. He had no room to react at all. The fireball that bounced back exploded directly on Iwamaru's face.
Bang!
"what!"
Iwamaru LP4000＞1000
As expected, a miserable cry came out of Iwamaru's mouth. What was even more tragic was that Iwamaru directly lost 3000 health points because of the effect of his own monster.
"This...what's going on!" Because of the power of the elves, he was blown to pieces by the fireball. Iwamaru asked this soul-searching question with an incredible look on his face.
"Haha~! Sorry, sorry, I forgot to explain it before!" Li Youfeng pointed at the extra shielder in front of him with a gloating smile and explained, "Another special effect of this monster is that during the turn of special summoning, all effect damage caused to me by the opponent's card effects will be borne by the opponent player!"
Iwamaru: “…”
"What the hell? Don't you explain the monster's effects in advance when you summon it?!"
In his heart, Yan Wan despised Li Youfeng for setting a trap without explaining it. While he was extremely angry, he could only grit his teeth and swallow this loss.
