Chapter 662: The Path of a Duelist!

Cold sweat instantly wet Marufuji Ryo's back. Seeing that the Super Magic Swordsman's attack was about to fall on the Electronic Barrier Dragon, Marufuji Ryo gritted his teeth and hurriedly opened another cover card on his backfield.

"Activate the trap card, damage and slim down!"

"The effect of this card is that any damage you take this turn will be halved!"

"Oh? To save your life, you actually covered the backcourt with such a card?" Li Youfeng nodded with a smile and pointed at Maruto Ryo, "Not a bad response, but you still have to accept half of the battle damage as usual!"

Click!

"Guwa!"

Sparks flew and the friction sound of metal colliding came instantly. Although the damage he suffered was halved due to the damage reduction effect of the trap card, it was a very painful thing for the Electronic Barrier Dragon with an attack power of only 800 points to be hit head-on by the Super Magic Swordsman.

The battle damage was then inflicted on Marufuji Ryo, causing the latter to scream and be beaten back repeatedly.

Marufuji Ryo LP4000＞1500

Although he did not defeat Maruto Ryo on the spot, Li Youfeng did not suffer a loss as he successfully took away 2500 health points of the opponent.

"I cover three cards on my backcourt and end my turn."

"Well, Mr. You Feng held back, but he was able to hold on until now in the match against the Duel King and still not lose. Now it seems that this Marufuji Ryo is a good candidate!"

As a new duelist, seeing Marufuji Ryo repeatedly resisting Li Youfeng's attacks at his current age, Tianma Yuexing, who has become the branch manager, is naturally excited to have obtained such a talent. Especially when he thinks that the Illusion Society, which is in a period of transition, can absorb such excellent fresh blood, he is in an even happier mood.

"Alas, it's a great loss to the duel world that Mr. You Feng is not coming to the Duel Academy to teach!" Principal Samejima couldn't help but sigh, knowing very well that Li Youfeng didn't show his true skills because he wanted to train Marufuji Ryo.

In fact, as Juudai Yucheng, who came from the future, said, the time he spent studying at the Duel Academy was the real golden period when Li Youfeng reached the peak of his strength.

"Huh! Huh! So strong! Although I know that Mr. You Feng has shown mercy, I didn't expect that even so, I would still be like a three-year-old child in front of him. Am I really qualified to enter the professional league circle now?"

He placed his trembling right hand on the card deck on his duel disk. Because of the tremendous pressure, Marufuji Ryo felt that the card he was about to draw next was as heavy as a thousand pounds.

What happened in the M Country Professional League, Li Youfeng's powerful aura, and the doubts about his own dueling talent, all these factors undoubtedly became the last straw that broke Marufuji Ryo's spirit.

As a typical character with a sensitive personality, Marufuji Ryo, who felt tremendous pressure, couldn't help but start to complain about himself again. In the original Yu-Gi-Oh, he began to become decadent and degenerate just because he lost to Ed. It can be seen that the Marufuji Ryo who was as gentle as jade and did not fight for anything in the Duel Academy, his actual nature was obviously not as good as he seemed on the surface.

Seeing Marufuji Ryo standing there with his arms trembling, Li Youfeng immediately noticed something was wrong with him. Fearing that he might have done something bad with good intentions, Li Youfeng smiled and said, "What's wrong? Ryo, it's just this level. You're not going to give up, are you? By the way, you're the duelist I'm optimistic about. In my opinion, you're not someone who can be defeated so easily!"

Ryo Marufuji: "!!!"

"I~I am actually the duelist that Mr. You Feng favors?" Because of Li Youfeng's affirmation, Maruto Ryo's eyes lit up again.

"That's right!" Li Youfeng nodded heavily and said with a firm look, "Liang, in fact, you may not realize how much you desire victory in your heart. What I want to say here is that the world of duelists itself has winners and losers. Even I have lost to my opponent in a duel!"

"What? Duel King Mr. Li Youfeng has also lost in a duel?"

Li Youfeng's words were like a bombshell that caused a storm in Marufuji Ryo's heart. In the latter's view, the Duel King represents invincibility. He could talk about failure so lightly, which showed that Li Youfeng obviously did not take his title of Duel King that seriously.

"Haha, of course. Would I lie to you?"

As if recalling something, Li Youfeng smiled and said like a big brother next door chatting with him, "Ah, you don't know. When I participated in the Urban Duel Tournament, I was besieged by Kaiba, Yugi, and Jonouchi in the preliminaries. Although it's a bit hard to talk about, Jonouchi still defeated me in the end!"

"Also, I've fought a lot of duels with Yugi over the years. This guy's tactics are getting more and more dirty. There were several times when I was careless and was knocked down by him on the spot!"

Marufuji Ryo, whose nervousness was swept away by Li Youfeng's emotions, smiled and said, "Is it the uncrowned king, Mr. Muto Yugi? As expected, there has been a rumor in the dueling world that the only duelist who is qualified to play against Mr. Youfeng is Mr. Yugi. Now it seems that this is indeed the case!"

"Haha, that's it!" Seeing that Marufuji Ryo was no longer nervous, Li Youfeng said with a smile, "So, in my opinion, although duelists should value victory, they should not be too obsessed with victory!"

"Human life is extremely short, passing by like a flash of lightning. However, being able to find the meaning and value of one's own existence in this moment is the necessary quality for a qualified duelist!"

"Marufuji Ryo, looking back, you have suppressed yourself too much in the past. If you speak frankly, such a character is very easy to go to extremes! Do you know why I announced my retirement and will not participate in any duel competitions? It is because I already know what I should defend and what is the most precious thing to me! The various experiences of participating in various competitions many years ago were at best just the necessary trials for a duelist."

"So in my opinion, the hardships you have experienced in the M Country Professional League are just some insignificant trivialities. The fact that you can be defeated by such insignificant things shows that your character is still immature and not stable enough. In my opinion, these so-called experiences are nothing more than a little bit of wind and frost for you. When you grow up to be a true duelist and look back, you will be surprised to find that these experiences are just the spice of your life journey."

"Marufuji Ryo, you should understand now, right? A duelist's own strength is the real strength, and your own cultivation is the capital for you to gain a foothold in society. So, before you become a real duelist, should you also show me how powerful your duelist soul is?"

"I understand, I completely understand!" After listening to Li Youfeng's guidance, Maruto Ryo's arms stopped shaking, as if his whole body was filled with strength. There was a glimmer of hope in his eyes again.

"Mr. You Feng, thank you very much for your teachings!"

Knowing very well that Li Youfeng was giving him a reminder, Marufuji Ryo bowed deeply and then placed his hand on his duel disk again.

The previous decadence in his eyes was swept away and filled with light again. Maru Tengliang shouted loudly: "Mr. You Feng, now I will let you see my backbone! It's my turn, draw a card!"

"Very good! I can do it!"

After deciding on his next strategy, Marufuji Ryo first displayed a card, "Activate magic card, electronic innovation system!"

"The effect of this card is that you can select a Cyber ​​Dragon monster from your hand or graveyard and Special Summon it. In addition, the monster Special Summoned by this effect cannot be destroyed by effects."

"Now, I will use the Cyber ​​Dragon Core in my graveyard as the target of my effect..."

"Super Magic Swordsman? Dark Paladin's special effect is activated!" Li Youfeng interrupted Maruto Ryo's turn and threw the last card in his hand into the graveyard. "The special effect of this monster is that when a magic card is activated, you can discard a card, and then invalidate and destroy the magic card!"

Click!

The light waves of black magic directly hit the card of the electronic innovation system, and with an explosion, the card was shattered.

"Haha, as expected, that monster is not that simple!"

Li Youfeng's reaction was obviously within Marufuji Ryo's expectations. Seeing that the former had no cards left in his hand, Marufuji Ryo smiled faintly and slapped the card he had just drawn on the duel disk.

"The magic card is activated, a life-killing treasure!"

"I don't think I need to explain the effect of this card, Mr. You Feng. Now, I will also replenish the card to five!"

Seeing Marufuji Ryo draw the card, Li Youfeng immediately showed a half-smile, "Interesting, your previous magic card was to test the special effect of the Super Magic Swordsman? Well, not bad, you are indeed a top student trained by the Duel Academy!"

"Haha, thank you for the compliment!"

With a very confident smile, Maru Tengliang looked at Li Youfeng and said, "I have figured it out. From now on, I will duel happily according to my own ideas. As a junior, I am naturally very eager to defeat you. Now, let me take the first step to become a legendary duelist!"

Pointing at Li Youfeng's backcourt, Maru Tengliang continued, "Mr. Youfeng, you don't have any cards in your hand now. All you can rely on are the three covered cards in the backcourt. I have already made up my mind. This round, I will end this duel!"

"Oh! He actually dared to say this in front of You Feng. This kid is pretty good!"

"Ryo, come on, it doesn't matter if you lose. The most important thing is to show your fighting spirit as a duelist!"

Marufuji Ryo's words naturally resonated with Tenma Yuexing and Samejima. With the idea of ​​watching a good show, the two of them were looking forward to the former's performance even more.

"Really?" Unexpectedly, Maruto Ryo actually took advantage of the disadvantage of not having any cards in his hand. Li Youfeng smiled and shrugged his shoulders, "Very good, then just come over and give it a try!"

"Yes! Then I won't be shy!"

First, he showed a card from his hand, and Marufuji said loudly: "Activate the magic card, bitter choice!"

"According to the effect of this card, I can choose five monster cards from my deck, and then my opponent chooses one to add to my hand, and the rest are thrown into the graveyard."

"Now, the cards I want to choose are the five monsters: Original Cyber ​​Dragon, Cyber ​​Dragon II, Cyber ​​Dragon III, Cyber ​​Dragon IV, and Cyber ​​Dragon Core. Okay, Mr. You Feng, now it's your turn to choose a card!"

"Haha, you actually imitated my routine. Well, that's right. Marufuji Ryo should want to summon that monster." A smile flashed in his eyes, and Li Youfeng raised his hand and pointed to a card. "I choose Electronic Dragon Core. Okay, throw the other cards into the graveyard!"

"Now, I will Special Summon Cyber ​​Dragon in Attack Position!" (ATK 2100 DEF 1600)

Completely unaware of Li Youfeng's extremely obscure smile, he raised his hand and threw four cards into the graveyard. Maruto Ryo continued, "The special effect of Cyber ​​Dragon is activated. This monster can only be special summoned from the hand when there is a monster on the opponent's field!"

(Note: The animation effect is slightly different from the actual card, just like Future Fusion is an equipment magic card at this time, and the effect will be unified later. It has been slightly modified here for smooth reading.)

"Next, I will Normal Summon Cyber ​​Dragon Core in Defense Position!" (Attack 100 Defense 100)

"As long as the card name of the Cyber ​​Dragon Core exists on the field and in the graveyard, it can be used as a Cyber ​​Dragon!"

"It's not over yet. Next, I will activate the Quick Attack Magic Card Electron Generator from my hand!"

Slapping a card on the duel disk, Marufuji Ryo said loudly, "The effect of this card is that I must sacrifice two Cyber ​​Dragons on my field to activate it. After that, I can Special Summon a Cyber ​​Laser Dragon from my hand, deck, or graveyard."

"Now, I will send the Cyber ​​Dragon and Cyber ​​Dragon Core to the cemetery as sacrifices!"

"Hear my call and show yourself, Cybertron Dragon, attack display!" (Attack 2400 Defense 1800)

A snake-like mechanical dragon monster appeared on the field. After Marufuji Ryo nodded slightly, he raised his hand and pointed to Li Youfeng's front field.

"Electronic Laser Dragon's special effect is activated. This monster can only be used once per turn. This monster can destroy a monster with an attack or defense greater than its attack."

"According to this effect, the target I want to destroy is the Super Magic Swordsman, Dark Paladin!"
