Chapter 173

Catapult Turtle, summon!

Fujiki You Xuan frowned slightly.

Good fellow, even Catapult Turtle came out.

This thing doesn't need much to say, a legendary monster that has left a heavy stroke in the history of Yu-Gi-Oh. Not only known as a common monster of Yugi Mutou, but also active in various acrobatic FTK (first-turn kill) routines for a long time, it is the soul card of countless acrobatic players.

"Effect of 'Jewel Sword', this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, I draw a card from the deck." (Original card)

It is also an original equipment card used by Manjoume and Fujiki You Xuan in their first battle.

"Then is the effect of Catapult Turtle." Yuexing said, "This card can directly give the opponent damage equal to half the attack power of the tributed monster by tributing monsters on your field." (Old version effect)

The point of this effect is that there is no "once per turn," and precisely because of this, it can become the key to various acrobatic one-turn kills.

Of course, this effect was harmonized in 2014. The new version of the effect added a "once per turn" limit, significantly weakened.

The Catapult Turtle in this world naturally has no reason to have that kind of limit.

"Bad, 'Threatening Roar' can prevent battle damage and battle destruction, so it turned to effect damage. Fujiki You Xuan's Life Points are 2000, and Tianma-san's field has completely sufficient ammunition..."

Misawa's expression turned solemn instantly.

"This is the legendary duelist." Asuka couldn't help but feel nervous for Fujiki You Xuan, "Even 'Threatening Roar' couldn't block his rhythm of attack."

Saying that, she looked at Fujiki You Xuan with some worry.

Can this move be received?

"First is 'United We Stand'!" Yuexing said, "Tribute 'United We Stand', give damage equal to half the attack power."

United We Stand now has 3700 attack power, just this one hit will cause a considerable amount of damage!

But Fujiki You Xuan snapped his fingers.

"Then Counter Trap - Divine Punishment!" Fujiki You Xuan said, "Discard a card from your hand, negate the activation of an effect monster's effect and destroy it!"

He picked another card from his hand and discarded it into the Graveyard, and dense dark clouds gathered over the field. The chaotic and deep lead-gray clouds, as if absorbing all the darkness. Lightning flashed, countless silver snakes danced wildly, and divine thunder tore out of the dark clouds, carrying the majesty and terror of God, destroying Catapult Turtle with one blow.

"Even this was defended... Powerful."

Yuexing raised his arm to block the impact and dust, smiling slightly.

"However, because I summoned 'Catapult Turtle' this turn, activate Spell card 'Card of Sanctity' from my hand!" (Original card)

Another Spell card appeared in front of Yuexing.

"In the turn that a Tribute Summon was performed, draw two cards from the deck. However, the cards drawn cannot be used this turn, and if they can be set, at least one must be set."

Yuexing drew two more cards.

"Then activate this Spell set on the field again..."

He waved his hand.

"Spell card 'Armed Reincarnation'!" (Original card)

As the Spell card flipped, several equipment cards appeared on his field!

Misawa was surprised: "Actually a second one!?"

Fujiki You Xuan was also surprised, but soon understood. For such a key tactical card of the deck, if there are conditions, of course, it is impossible to only invest one.

"I don't think I need to repeat the effect." Yuexing said, "Revive 'United We Stand', 'Mage Power', and 'Jewel Sword' in the Graveyard as equipment monsters with 500 attack and defense points!"

【United We Stand, ATK 500】

【Mage Power, ATK 500】

【Jewel Sword, DEF 500】

"And they gain their respective equipment effects, attack power increases!" Yuexing said, "There are five monsters on the field, so United We Stand's attack power increases by 4000 points!

I have four pieces of equipment in the front row and one set card in the back row, a total of five Spell/Traps. Mage Power's attack power will increase by the number of Spell/Trap cards on my field x500, which is an increase of 2500!"

【United We Stand, ATK 500 -> ATK 4500】

【Mage Power, ATK 500 -> ATK 3000】

This time, "Jewel Sword," which has the lowest attack power, is in Defense Position.

"Then I set three more cards in the back row!" Yuexing drank, "At this moment, because the number of Spell and Trap cards on the field increases, each one makes Mage Power's attack power increase by another 500, totaling an increase of 1500!"

【Mage Power, ATK 3000 -> ATK 4500】

"Returned to such a formation in an instant." Misawa took a deep breath, "There are two monsters with 4500 attack power..."

Fortunately, the Battle Phase has already passed this turn, and with "Threatening Roar" protecting, Yuexing also temporarily cannot launch an attack.

Asuka didn't say a word, but she thought the same as Misawa.

The legendary duelist is terrifying!

Then her gaze couldn't help but shift to Fujiki You Xuan again.

He looked the same as usual, unable to see any difference.

This is also what she noticed very early. Fujiki You Xuan's duels always have an inexplicable calmness, and it is like this no matter who he faces.

Masters, rookies, legends, all seem to be just "duel opponents" to him. From his duels, one can neither feel nervousness nor passion.

There is a strange feeling of "I'm just playing cards casually, and somehow I won inexplicably."

So including Asuka, many people in the academy always feel that he has never been serious with anyone.

Asuka has always been like others, feeling that this is the calmness established on the basis of his own strength, absolute confidence. Maybe he doesn't feel that any opponent he encounters in the academy is worth his all-out effort.

But now it seems that he is also like this when facing an opponent of this level...

"Phew~ It's really dangerous." Fujiki You Xuan smiled, "Tianma-san is really pressing step by step. Such a fierce attack is really hard to bear..."

Dangerous?

Tianma Yuexing was silent.

He couldn't feel it from him at all.

Pondering for a while, Yuexing smiled slightly and said: "Can... ask a question, student Fujiki You Xuan."

"What?"

"No other meaning, just because I'm really curious, so I ask."

Yuexing said softly.

"Student Fujiki You Xuan, may I ask when was the last time you went all out in a duel?"

Fujiki You Xuan: "..."

Misawa and Asuka also cast inquiring gazes at him at the same time.

They were also quite curious about this question.

But Fujiki You Xuan only smiled helplessly.

"I don't know why everyone always says so, but now facing Tianma-san, I am very serious."

"Is that so... Alright, sorry, I talked too much."
