Chapter 976: The top 4 are decided! (Additional update for non-saints!)

(Note: The author thanks the book lovers for their enthusiasm, but it’s still a commonplace to say that readers just need to enjoy reading this book, there is no need to send gifts at all! I’ll say it again: most of those who like to read Yu-Gi-Oh are card game friends, and the author is also your card game friend, so we really don’t need to send gifts!)

Of course, as the saying goes, when someone is worried, someone else will be happy. I didn't expect that "happiness" would come so suddenly. Seeing that Li Youfeng announced the end of his round so easily, Taro felt relieved and a spark of hope appeared in his eyes.

Yes!

That is the spark of victory!

So, don't underestimate the bond between me and my companions, you bastard!

"I've won this duel. Draw a card!" (20th turn!)

[High-speed Counting Points Taro 4] (Li Youfeng's count is full, so no points will be added.)

【High-speed counting point Li Youfeng 12】

"Ji Zang, Ash, your efforts have not been in vain. In 20 rounds, we did it!"

"Now, let all the audience witness our..."

He couldn't wait to draw the card. Just when Taro was about to Special Summon the sleeping giant Gudong in his hand, he heard Li Youfeng suddenly say in a loud voice: "At this moment, the permanent trap card is activated, big arrest!"

Pointing to the red sticker activated on his backfield, Li Youfeng continued indifferently, "This card's effect is to target 1 face-up monster on your opponent's field. You gain control of that monster. While that monster is on your field, it cannot attack or activate its effects. When that monster leaves the field, this card is destroyed."

"According to this effect, the monster I want to gain control of is the Heart Key Elf!"

Swipe!

Several hemp ropes attacked Taro's front field at the same time as the continuous trap card activated its effect. As a one-star normal monster, the Heart Key Elf, which had no ability to resist, was tied up layer by layer on the spot and dragged to Li Youfeng's front field.

Yusei & Jack & Crow & Kiyanagi: "Holy shit!!!"

Yoshizo & Ash: “!!!”

Taro: "Gaia!!!"

Seeing that the key card for his comeback was caught in Li Youfeng's frontcourt, Taro showed a happy roar without any surprise!

By the way, how could there be someone in this world who would leave the Hand-Holding Demon alone and capture a one-star normal monster? Such a person can be said to be the weirdest of weirdos!

It's like a drowning person desperately grabbing a floating piece of wood, but just when he was rejoicing that he was saved, he found out that the real identity of the wood was actually a hungry crocodile!

It must be said that at this moment, Taro's numb pupils were gradually losing their luster.

"What's going on? Player Li Youfeng actually took away a one-star small monster from Player Taro? But surprisingly, judging from Player Taro's expression, he seemed to be very shocked!" Commentator Hiroshi Tsuda was also confused as he completely didn't understand Li Youfeng's actions.

"Damn it! He must have guessed it!"

The Heart Key Elf was taken away, and the Sleeping Giant Gudong in Taro's hand instantly became a decoration. Because of the special nature of this monster card, Taro didn't think that Li Youfeng would also have the Sleeping Giant card in his hand.

"Hold steady! You absolutely cannot reveal my true purpose. Otherwise, if that monster is sent to the graveyard, all our efforts will be in vain!"

Taro forced himself to calm down and glanced at his hand. He had no way to take back the Heart Key Elf for the time being, so he could only pretend nothing happened and activate the effect of the Field Magic Card.

"Activate the special effect of Field Magic Card High Speed ​​World 2!"

"By removing 4 high-speed counter points, you can deal 800 damage to the opposing player for every high-speed spell in your hand!"

"I have three high-speed spells in my hand now, so I can deal 2400 points of effect damage to you!"

【High-speed counting point Taro 4＞0】

Buzz!

Seeing that a lightning ball had begun to condense on Taro's field, Li Youfeng said with a disdainful smile: "Humph, you acted quite well, but this little trick can't deal with me!"

"Counterattack trap card activated, hell's cold shot!"

Taro was killed with a counter-trap card. Li Youfeng then said, "The effect of this card is that it can only be activated when an effect that deals damage other than combat damage is activated. I can transfer the damage I received to the opponent."

Taro: "!!!"

Click!

"Wow!!!"

Taro LP4000＞1600

Stealing the chicken is losing the rice!

Taro never expected that Li Youfeng had seen through his tactics early on, and the opponent's deck was too targeted. For a moment, Li Youfeng gave Taro the feeling of a porcupine with its spikes erected, making him feel like he had nowhere to bite.

"Damn it, I can only make plans for the next round!"

There was no way to summon the sleeping giant Gudong, so Taro could only helplessly insert a card from his hand into the backfield of the duel disk.

"I cover a card and the turn ends!"

"Hmph, my turn, draw a card!"

【High-speed counting point Taro 0】

【High-speed counting point Li Youfeng 12】

"At this moment, the trap card is activated, Sand Tornado!"

"This card's effect targets 1 Spell or Trap Card on your opponent's field, destroying that opponent's card. Then, you can place 1 Spell or Trap Card from your hand."

"Now, the card I want to destroy is the Continuous Trap Card, Great Arrest!"

At the beginning of Li Youfeng's turn, he couldn't wait to activate the effect of the cover card. For Taro at this time, if he wanted to win this duel, then the existence of Gudong was absolutely an irreplaceable card.

"Oh, are you desperate enough to do something like that? But I've already calculated this!"

While sneering, he also opened a cover card on his backfield and said loudly: "Counter Trap Card activated, Bribe of the Demon Palace!"

"This card's effect is that when your opponent activates a Spell or Trap Card, you can activate it. You can negate and destroy the activation, and then your opponent draws 1 card from their deck."

(Chain: Bribery in the Demon Palace > Sand Tornado (Ineffective))

"how so?!"

Desperate!

Unexpectedly, Li Youfeng had been on guard against him for a long time. At this time, Taro had begun to realize that the other party must know what he wanted to do, so he used such a tactic against him.

"Haha, now it seems that you have no other tricks. Then, I should get to the point!"

As he spoke, Li Youfeng raised his hand and slapped a monster card onto the duel disk.

"I will liberate the Heart Key Spirit on my field and Special Summon it in Attack Position, Sleeping Giant Gudong!" (Attack 0 Defense 0) (Anime Original!)

Taro: "!!!"

Yoshizo & Ash: "..."

"No! Not good!"

No one expected that Li Youfeng actually had a sleeping giant Gudong. Not only Taro who was on the high-speed track changed his face, but even Yoshizo and Ash in the maintenance station opened their mouths in fear!

Yes!

Although the sleeping giant Gudong summoned during this period has a certain degree of concealment, the only rule that has not changed is that a level 1 normal monster must exist on its own field for more than 10 turns!

This effect is like adding a BUFF to a monster. To put it more clearly, it is similar to the continuously increasing Gudong indicators in the real card effect!

Because the count points generated by this effect are given by the sleeping giant Gudong, even after the control is changed, the accumulated number of the Heart Key Elf will not be invalidated.

Boom!

It should be said that it is worthy of being the effect monster in the original anime that is said to be able to rival the three mythical gods. Accompanied by lightning and thunder, a thick big hand suddenly popped out from the broken surface, and a huge giant with dark gray skin appeared on Li Youfeng's front court with a roar.

"It's a lie, isn't it?"

They never expected that the efforts of the three people would become Li Youfeng's wedding dress. Not only Taro had a mental breakdown, but even his teammates Ji Zang and Ash were full of despair!

He had tried his best to hold on for 20 rounds, but the result was that his opponent snatched away the Heart Key Elf and summoned an absolute trump card that was enough to destroy him.

For the three Suns players, such a result is like the Joker from Gotham City!

"Unbelievable! The Suns' true intention is to summon the legendary Sleeping Giant, the strongest card capable of rivaling the Three Mythical Gods!"

Finally, we understand why the Suns adopted this kind of duel style. At this time, Hiroshi Tsuda, who was in the commentary seat of the main venue, was obviously "killing like crazy".

"Unfortunately, Pioneer Team's Li Youfeng seemed to have already seen through his opponent's plan. At the last crucial moment, he snatched the Heart Key Elf and summoned Gudong. Li Youfeng once again demonstrated what it means to be a crushing IQ winner!"

"With the appearance of the sleeping giant Gudong, I think the Suns, without any rare cards, have no chance of a comeback, unless they can drag it out for another 20 rounds. However, for Li Youfeng, who has already summoned Gudong, there's no way he'll let the Suns hold out for another 20 rounds!"

It was like rubbing salt into the Suns' wounds. What is certain is that Hiroshi Tsuda's commentary not only livened up the atmosphere on the scene, but also completely broke the Suns' morale, causing Yoshizo and Ash, who stayed at the maintenance station, to put on masks of pain again.

Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. You Xing crossed his arms and nodded, saying, "Yes, there's no doubt about it. Mr. You Feng is going to kill me!"

Having already burst out laughing, Kro slapped his thigh and echoed, "Haha, that's killing me! See, I told you before, with the boss's strength, you never know what he's up to!"

Unexpectedly, Li Youfeng had already noticed the Suns' intentions. Jack, who realized it belatedly, could not help but sigh, "He truly deserves to be the first generation Duel King. It's hard to imagine how strong Mr. Youfeng's duel instincts are!"

Gui Liu, also covered in cold sweat, shook his head grimly and said, "How horrible! Using the opponent's cards to satisfy his own summoning conditions, Mr. You Feng is simply a monster!"

"Damn it! One of Gudong's special effects is that it can negate the effects of monsters it fights, and this monster is unaffected by the effects of other cards. The Hand-Handed Demon alone can't stop Gudong's attack!"

The Sleeping Giant itself is the Suns' core tactical card, so Taro is naturally very clear about the special effects of this monster. Without any rare and powerful monster cards, it can be said that when Gudong appeared, Taro already knew in his heart that his hope of winning was very slim.

"Haha, before we attack, let me first turn over the cards covering the front field!"

Changing the monster in front of him from inside defense to attack position, Li Youfeng said loudly: "Activate the special effect of Gravity Ball!" (Attack 1100 Defense 700)

"When this monster is Flip Summoned, you can change the position of all face-up monsters on your opponent's field!"

Taro: "!!!"

Watching all his monsters in defense position change to attack position, Taro knew very well that he would most likely be gone this turn!

The Sleeping Giant Gudong has a passive ability that does not accept any card effects, so it is obviously impossible to increase the attack power of this monster by using the effects of cards.

"It's not over yet. Next, I'm going to activate the effect of the Trap Card's built-in explosive bomb!"

"This card's effect is to inflict 300 points of damage equal to the number of cards on the opponent's field!"

"You have 4 monsters on the field right now, so I can deal 1200 points of effect damage to you!"

Bang!

Taro lost another 1200 health points in the bomb, and at this time he had already entered Gudong's killing line.

Taro LP1600＞400

"Fight!"

Facing Taro who had given up resistance, Li Youfeng gave the order for the final blow without hesitation.

"Sleeping giant Gudong, attack the hand-holding demon!"

"Damn it! I won't accept this!!!"

Boom!

Gudong's attack power will always be 1000 points higher than the target, which means that this monster can stably cause 1000 points of combat damage every round.

Taro was smashed into pieces by Gudong's punch, and as the Hand-Holding Demon entered the cemetery with a scream, Taro's health points were reduced to 0.

Taro LP400＞0

"The winner has been decided! The winner is still the strongest dark horse of this Duel Tournament - the Pioneer Team!!!"

Just as Li Youfeng defeated Taro, Tsuda Hiroya took the microphone and made the final announcement.

"The top four teams of this year's WRPG Riding Duel Competition have been confirmed. Now these four teams will compete for the championship trophy!"

"At the organizer's request, in order to make this duel more fair and just, these four teams will now randomly draw lots to duel their respective opponents!"

"Now, let's all work together to determine the results of the draw!"
