Chapter 175: Artificial Angels Descend

"My turn, draw a card."

It was Mei Yue Xing's turn again; he adjusted his breathing for a moment.

The Magic Disruptor was indeed an unexpected card, and it completely nullified his entire battle strategy; for Mei Yue Xing, it was a formidable monster.

If one's deck relied entirely on "Armed Reincarnation," encountering such a card might mean instant collapse.

Of course, experts never bet everything on a single strategy.

Mei Yue Xing's deck, of course, still held other possibilities slumbering within it.

"No wonder both Kaiba Seto and Yehang noticed your uniqueness right away. I haven't faced an opponent worth fighting this hard in a long time."

Mei Yue Xing said seriously.

"But I haven't reached my limit yet!"

"Activate my face-down card: Trap Card—'Goblin's Business Tactics!'"

One of his back-row traps activated.

"You may draw as many cards as the number of 'Goblin's Business Tactics' in your graveyard, plus one. Then, choose one card from your hand and return it to the bottom of your deck."

At this moment, there were zero 'Goblin's Business Tactics' in Mei Yue Xing's graveyard, meaning he would draw one card, then return one card from his hand to the bottom of his deck.

"Then chain to the second one!" Mei Yue Xing said. "Another Trap Card—'Goblin's Business Tactics!'"

"But it's not over—chain to this card as well."

Mei Yue Xing swiftly waved his hand, revealing another card in his hand.

"Quick-Play Spell—'Feast of Excess!' Send any number of your own Spell and Trap Cards to the graveyard; restore 1000 Life Points for each one sent!"

He pointed to the two already-activated traps on the field.

"Send both 'Goblin's Business Tactics' to the graveyard, restore 2000 Life Points!"

【Mei Yue Xing, LP 1000 → LP 3000】

The Jinpaijieshuoyuan San Ze, with his superior professional instincts, immediately grasped the essence of this combo: "Incredible! When a Trap Card leaves the field, its effect still resolves!"

"The newly activated 'Feast of Excess' sent the 'Goblin's Business Tactics' to the graveyard before their effects resolved, so when those effects finally calculated, there were already two 'Goblin's Business Tactics' in the graveyard."

Master Tianma Mei Yue Xing: "Therefore, according to the effect of each 'Goblin's Business Tactics,' I draw the number of 'Goblin's Business Tactics' in the graveyard plus one—that's three cards!"

"I draw six cards total, then return two cards from my hand to the bottom of my deck!"

Mei Yue Xing swung his arm dramatically, and six cards instantly appeared in his hand.

"You've replenished your hand massively and restored your Life Points," Ming Ri Xiang admitted grudgingly. "To manipulate the Dueling Rules so skillfully..."

San Ze said nothing, but stole another glance at Fujiki You Xuan.

He remembered Fujiki You Xuan had said he defeated Mei Yue Xing's younger brother, Master Tianma Ye Hang.

The more he realized how terrifying the opponent was, the more chilling the thought became—could this guy really have beaten someone like this?

"Spell Card—'Angel's Charity.' Draw three cards from your deck, then discard two from your hand."

Mei Yue Xing selected two cards from his hand and sent them to the graveyard, but one of them immediately bounced back with a flash of golden light.

"One of the discarded cards was another 'Scholar Spirit!'" Mei Yue Xing said. "When this card enters the graveyard, you may draw one card!" (Original card)

Master Tianma Mei Yue Xing drew another card.

Then he smiled faintly.

"When Ye Hang first told me about you, I found it unbelievable. But now I fully believe it. Fujiki You Xuan, you truly are a unique duelist."

"Just as Ye Hang felt during his duel, I feel it too now—the urge to unleash everything, to surpass myself just to defeat you."

He closed his eyes briefly and said.

"It's truly astonishing. We've only just met, yet it feels like facing a peak I must climb with all my strength."

San Ze and Ming Ri Xiang exchanged silent glances, suddenly understanding Mei Yue Xing completely.

Indeed, they too had felt the same after dueling Fujiki You Xuan.

Dueling this guy, within just a few turns, you feel constantly blocked, then suddenly look up and realize a towering peak stands before you.

Then, without thinking, you push yourself to the limit, exhausting every strategy to break through that peak.

Of course, in the end, you lose.

They had always assumed only they felt this way.

Now they heard even legendary duelists shared the same sensation?

"Senior, you flatter me. I'm nothing special—just dueling with all I have," Fujiki You Xuan smiled politely. "I'm still learning and growing through duels with seniors like you."

"With all you have? Is that truly all?" Mei Yue Xing smiled mysteriously.

But he didn't elaborate further, shifting the topic instead.

"Let me confirm one more thing—the effect of 'Angel O1' in my hand."

Mei Yue Xing revealed a card in his hand.

"'Angel O1' can be Special Summoned from the hand by showing the opponent a Level 7 or higher monster from your hand."

He slowly drew another card from his hand and displayed it again.

"I show 'Angel O7,' a Level 7 monster in my hand, and Special Summon 'Angel O1!'"

【Angel O1, ATK 200】

Fujiki You Xuan looked at the Angel card Mei Yue Xing displayed.

Angel O7—the trump card monster of Master Tianma Mei Yue Xing in the original work.

He remembered this card well. Though not widely used in real-card environments, it had frequently appeared in various lockdown decks.

When the Level-up Summoned Angel O7 is on the field, all monsters cannot activate their effects.

In terms of lockdown alone, even by modern standards, this was an extremely powerful full-field silence ability.

Fujiki You Xuan frowned slightly.

It seemed a troublesome presence was about to appear.

"Then I Normal Summon my second 'Angel O1!'"

【Angel O1, ATK 200】

"The second effect of Angel O1: When this Special Summoned card is on the field, in addition to my Normal Summon, I gain one additional opportunity to Level-up Summon a monster of Level 7 or higher."

"So I sacrifice both 'Angel O1' monsters!"

"Guardian of the Steel Wings, awaken now—"

The two small angels vanished into the sacrificial storm; pure white armor reflected brilliant light, white halos and armor shimmering together, blinding white radiance forming a sacred holy domain.

"—Angel O7, Summon!"

【Angel O7, ATK 2500】

The artificial angel descended; the white holy domain rapidly expanded until it engulfed the entire field, like a forbidden zone sealing away magic!
