Chapter 620: Cheese, I am a bastard!
Your monster is crying!
As one of the well-known memes in the Yu-Gi-Oh anime, almost everyone who has watched the anime will remember this sentence very clearly.
Although the method of using the Catapult Turtle to launch your own monster is very different from Magician Pandora's behavior of sacrificing her own monster, the essential difference between the two is that the former directly launches your own monster to cause damage to the opponent, while the latter extracts the soul of your own monster and uses it as a cannonball to cause damage to the opponent player!
Yes!
As a duel world where duel elves really exist, the method of directly extracting souls and using them as cannonballs is undoubtedly much more cruel than the effect of catapulting turtles!
In this duel world, duel elves are metaphysical products with personal consciousness and personal emotions, and the elf world also exists in reality!
As the product of the Duelist's heart, Duel Spirits are born because the Duelist pours all his emotions into his cards. This is also the main reason why Yami Yugi added the card of Slingshot Turtle to his deck but did not add the card of Summoning Ectoplasm.
Therefore, it is not difficult to see from Yami Yugi's words that if a true duelist ignores the emotions of cards, he will ultimately be nothing more than a second-rate player.
Faithfully executing Ed's orders, with the former firing a cannon, the phantom hero Sanren was suddenly launched out by the catapult turtle. Based on the basic principle of the underworld flow that if you can't solve your front-court monsters, then directly solve the player's monsters, Sanren imitated Bruce Lee's flying kick in mid-air and kicked his big foot at John.
"Damn it, I won't let you succeed so easily!"
The 2500 points of effect damage was enough to knock out John, who only had 1600 health points left. Knowing that he must not let this wave of damage pass, John hurriedly clicked the button to activate the trap card.
"Trap Card Activated, Rainbow Life!" (Original anime effect, detailed source: Black Rainbow VS Cyber End Dragon!)
This is a real card!
"The effect of this card is that by discarding a card from my hand, I can recover the life points of any damage I have taken this turn. In addition, after this effect is activated, all subsequent damage I take until the end of the turn will recover that amount of life points!"
Swish!
He threw a card into the graveyard, and saw a rainbow barrier appear in front of John. Seeing that the Phantom Hero Three was about to kick the barrier, at this critical moment, Ed suddenly sneered.
"Humph! Is this your last trick? Never mind, I won't play with you anymore. I'll just finish you off this round!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and activated the cover card on his backfield. Ed said loudly: "Counter Trap Card Activate, God's Declaration!"
"The effect of this card is that you pay half of your life points to activate it. When a Spell or Trap Card is activated, you can negate that activation and destroy it!"
"Now, I will pay half of your life points and then invalidate your Rainbow Life!"
The first two cover cards that covered his backfield were actually Ed's double insurance. In addition, God's Declaration was extremely versatile. Although the price was to pay half of the life points, for the Hell-style Duelist, life points were really something that only needed to be there!
Aide LP3800＞1900
The counter attack trap card was activated as Ed paid his life points, and then an old man with a white beard and wearing a linen white shirt appeared on the field. He shouted at John's rainbow barrier, "Cheese, you bastard!" After that, the rainbow shield that had just protected John was broken!
John: “!!!”
"No! Hero! If you have something to say, just talk it over and don't hit me in the face!"
He seriously suspected that there was also a Duel Spirit living in this Counter Trap Card. Just as John's mouth twitched because of the old man's foul language, the Phantom Hero Trinity's big foot kicked the former firmly in the face.
"puff!"
(Phantom Hero Trinity: "Oh! That kick feels so good!")
(The Homomons: "Wow~ It hurts just looking at it!")
Ed directly passed the five defensive monsters on the opponent's front field and attacked the player directly. Naturally, this operation made the students present cheer loudly.
John, with only 1600 health points left, naturally could not withstand the 2500 points of damage. He was kicked to the ground by Sanren. As his health points returned to zero, the duel was decided.
John LP1600＞0
"I won. It was a really enjoyable duel!" Nodding slightly to John, Ed turned to look at Li Youfeng who was sitting in a corner of the audience. After smiling and making a victory gesture to his master, he directly said his favorite catchphrase.
"Haha, it seems that Ed has become stronger again!" Li Youfeng knew very well that Ed was suspected of letting the opponent win in this duel. Naturally, he also knew that the main reason why he did so was that he wanted to see what was so magical about the jade beast.
Turning his head to look at Yuki Judai who was sitting in the second-year area and was in a dilemma between Asuka and Saotome Rei, Li Youfeng couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth again.
"Judai, now that you have obtained the New Yuxia, you have begun to walk your own path as a duelist. In order to solve another hidden danger in your body, it seems that I have to be stricter with you. I just don't know if you can withstand the special training I have arranged for you!"
The special training of the Hell Style naturally focuses on actual combat, so accepting a "beating" is naturally one of the parts of the training. Recalling that Judai was beaten by Muto Yugi and was almost on the verge of giving up the game Duel Monsters, it is conceivable how deep of a pit this guy, Oya Yugi, is to be able to beat Judai, who loves duels, into this state!
For Judai, this kind of thing undoubtedly left a great psychological trauma to the young him, so much so that even now when he thinks back on it, his eyes always unconsciously become empty.
As the master of Youcheng's tenth generation, Li Youfeng naturally could not sit idly by and watch the child he had raised for so many years being usurped by a tyrant. Therefore, even for the sake of the former's future, Li Youfeng would never be merciful to him in the face of such a major issue.
“Hiss! It’s so cold!!”
While playing the role of peacemaker between Saotome Rei and Amajouin Asuka, Yuki Juyo suddenly felt a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. Unfortunately, the feeling came and went quickly. Facing the Shura Field, Yuki Juyo could only regard the chill as an illusion.
"This duel is such a pity!" Amon, who was waiting in the contestant channel and watching John walk down from the duel arena with his face covered, said with a smile: "Ed Phoenix is indeed worthy of his reputation, but you have done a good job in taking away half of the opponent's health points, John!"
"Haha~! It's a pity that I still lost!" John touched his hair and laughed happily. He turned his head slightly to look at Ed's back as he left. "But it's just like what you said, Amon. Ed seemed to have held back on me!"
After hearing these words, Amon's lips curled up slightly to reveal a barely perceptible smile.
As the only remaining deck in the Duel World, Amon had long expected that the reason why Ed showed mercy to John was not because he really admired John, but because Ed wanted to see what kind of deck the Gemmon was.
"Maybe!" Amon's face suddenly became serious, as if he remembered something. "By the way, John, I have some bad news to tell you. I just received news that the transport plane of the Illusion Society had an accident on the way to the Duel Academy in Sakura Country, and the last few Gemmon cards made by Mr. Pegasus himself are missing."
"What?! The card that Mr. Pegasus made specially for me is lost?" John was struck by lightning because of Amon's words. He showed an expression of unacceptability on the spot.
To be honest, Amon had expected John to behave like this. After all, the duelist's deck did not have an ace monster, which would be a fatal blow to any duelist.
"Asshole, how dare you snatch my gem beast card? If I find out who did it, I will definitely not let him go!"
To John, all the gem beasts are like family members. Upon learning that his trump card is missing, the gentle John rarely feels angry.
"John, don't be too angry. I heard that the Illusion Society has sent Mr. Tianma Yuexing, the head of the Asian branch, to investigate this matter. I believe that it won't take long to find the real culprit!"
Because he had always lived in the same dormitory with John, Amon knew that the young man in front of him was someone he could definitely trust, so it would undoubtedly be beneficial for him to establish a good relationship with John in advance.
"Well, since you said so, I have no choice but to believe Mr. Tianma Yuexing." Knowing that getting angry would be useless, John could only shake his head with regret.
The first friendly match between the M Country Duel Academy and the Sakura Country Duel Academy ended with John's defeat. As the holder of the world championship title, Ed became the true uncrowned king of the Duel Academy without any suspense.
(Note: Because Ed has never participated in the final duel held by the Duel Academy, he can only be called the uncrowned king. The king on the surface still belongs to Wanzhangmuzhen.)
After the game, Professor Cobra, who failed to collect the power of Ed's heart, met Darkness again. When he learned that the latter had expected that he might fail and had already made a new plan to collect the energy of the heart, Professor Cobra began to plan the next duel with peace of mind. Naturally, the little tricks that Darkness did behind the scenes were hidden from Mackenzie's eyes.
That night, darkness enveloped the Duel Academy. After Yuujiro Judai and Ed had dinner at the Lavender Game Shop, they were urgently summoned by Li Youfeng to the basement of the game shop.
This basement had long been carefully transformed by Li Youfeng into a secret training place, and at this moment, he was extremely excited and decided to fulfill his duties as a master.
As a school that focuses on actual combat, the Netherworld School requires disciples to constantly explore their own shortcomings in actual combat and adjust strategies and tactics in a timely manner.
Therefore, under Li Youfeng's "loving" teaching, Ed and Youcheng Judai once again deeply experienced what cruelty and ruthlessness are.
Although Ed and Judai took turns to fight, they all unsurprisingly showed happy "smiles" in the face of Li Youfeng's endless, insidious and cunning strategies.
Time passed by minute by minute, and before they knew it, it was almost one o'clock in the morning. After finally making it to the end of the training, Ed and Judai staggered out of the lavender game store like zombies who had lost their souls...
Yuki Judai & Ed: "Aba~Ababa…."
(Yubel: "Jiudai, cheer up a little, damn Li Youfeng, you are so inhumane!")
The next morning, the Duel Academy officially announced its decision to have an exchange war with the Duel Academy of Country M. After hearing the news, Ed and Judai, who were having breakfast in the cafeteria, seemed to have light in their cloudy eyes!
"Ed, did you hear that? The exchange battle is about to begin!"
"Yeah, yeah, I heard it. That's great. Finally, I don't have to accept Master's special training at night!"
As Li Youfeng's apprentices, Judai and Ed actually knew what kind of person he was. But what they didn't expect was that Li Youfeng showed no mercy at all during yesterday's training.
Strictly speaking, such a duel can no longer be considered a duel. To put it more simply, it would not be an exaggeration to call such training a massacre.
The two looked at each other with painful expressions on their faces. After looking at each other in tacit understanding, they saw the fear and helplessness in each other's eyes.
However, despite this, Judai and Ed are still very grateful to Li Youfeng for his teaching, because they know that it is this strict requirement that enables them to continue to improve and become better duelists.
After breakfast, Yuki Judai also joined his friends, and the five duelists who were selected to represent the Duel Academy also arrived at the Duel Academy's competition arena under the guidance of Professor Chronos!
The arena was packed once again, and the contestants were seated on the side of the ring. As representatives of the Duel Academy, except for Ed and Judai who looked a little listless, Asuka Tenjouin, who was chosen as a contestant, had a sharp eye, and Daichi Misawa looked more energetic.
