Chapter 190: Heart of the Cards Victory

"All the cards on the field and in the hand were washed back in one breath!" Marufuji Sho was shocked, "Isn't this very bad?"

"This guy's card drawing is really this strong." Judai's eyes became more and more bright, "So amazing, I want to compete with him more and more to see..."

"Washed all my resources away in one breath." Fujiki You Xuan acted helplessly, shrugging, "Really something. However, before that, I activated this card." 【190-4

He pointed to another face-down card that had already been set beside him.

Only then did Dashan notice that he had been fully focused on his own internal meditation and hadn't paid any attention to the activation of this card.

"Trap card, 'Destruction Ring'! Destroy one monster on my field and recover LP equal to that monster's ATK."

Fujiki You Xuan pointed to the "Bone Crusher" on his field.

"Destroy 'Bone Crusher' and recover LP equal to its ATK."

【Fujiki You Xuan, LP 2400 → LP 4800】

"Heh, trying your best to use the last remaining resources at the final moment? Well, suit yourself."

Dashan waved his hand.

"But after this, all the remaining cards in your hand and on your field will be shuffled back into your deck!"

All the cards on Fujiki You Xuan's field immediately turned into golden light and flew back into his deck. This included "Despair from the Dark," which also returned to its owner Dashan's deck.

In an instant, the field was wiped clean.

"To remain so calm under these circumstances, it seems you are no ordinary person," Dashan said. "But how much longer can this composure last?

I summon 'Enraged Ape'!"

【Enraged Ape, ATK 2000】

"Enraged Ape, direct attack!"

The fiery red ape let out a furious roar, spewing high-heat flames from its mouth!

But as the swirling flames approached Fujiki You Xuan, they suddenly slammed into an illusory barrier. A ghost-like phantom appeared before him, blocking the impact like a shield.

"'Necro Gardna' in the Graveyard," Fujiki You Xuan said. "By banishing this card from the Graveyard during the opponent's turn, I can negate one attack from an opponent's monster this turn."

"One of the five cards discarded by 'Card Destruction' at the beginning?" Dashan nodded. "Even after shuffling away your hand and field, you still had preparations in the Graveyard..."

"For us ordinary folks who aren't as confident in our drawing skills as you are, we have to make sure we're well-prepared," Fujiki You Xuan smiled.

"You are indeed an excellent duelist. But there is a limit to relying on these things; that is what I have realized. Only drawing cards can truly determine the outcome."

Dashan revealed another card from his hand.

"Continuous Spell - 'Heart of the Underdog'! If you draw a Normal Monster during your Draw Phase, you can show it to your opponent and draw another card!"

"Another card that assists with drawing..."

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

Just how obsessed is this guy with drawing cards?

Everyone was shocked.

"Oh no," Asuka said in a low voice. "Dashan still has that Continuous Trap 'Miracle Draw' on his field. If he declares the name of the card he draws during the Draw Phase, he can deal 1000 points of damage to the opponent."

Hayato realized: "And with 'Heart of the Underdog,' as long as he keeps drawing Normal Monsters, he can keep drawing cards..."

"In that case, doesn't it mean as long as he keeps declaring the cards he draws, he can keep drawing forever? And every time he hits, he deals 1000 damage..."

Marufuji Sho was greatly alarmed.

"Is there such a reckless combo!?"

A one-turn kill by drawing cards?

"I have completed my training; my deck is a deck themed around drawing cards," Dashan chuckled confidently. "My turn ends."

Fujiki You Xuan reached out and placed his hand on his deck.

With no cards in hand and nothing on the field, he had no usable cards on the surface.

In fact, to prevent this situation, he still had other backup plans in his Graveyard, and he still had resources he could mobilize. But that was just a safety measure.

In truth, as Dashan said, dueling in this world still relies on drawing cards. No matter how strong the tactics, formations, and builds are, when dueling against true powerhouses, they still need to be built on the foundation of drawing cards to be carried out. Not to say every draw is a god-tier draw, but at least one needs to be able to perform stably when facing strong opponents.

Since enrolling, he has had more and more spirits in his hand, and he has gained quite a bit of insight into practicing card drawing. And today's battle, at this very moment, is the best time to test the results.

Having no cards in hand and nothing on the field is always the moment when a duelist's potential is maximized.

If he has truly completed his training, then this draw must...

Marufuji Sho swallowed hard: "This draw might decide the outcome. Fujiki You Xuan shouldn't..."

"No problem." Judai was even more confident than the person himself, with a smile on his face. "Fujiki You Xuan is a true duelist. There will absolutely be no problem."

Fujiki You Xuan closed his eyes.

Feeling the experience from his training, the palpitation felt from the deck, like the moment when a duelist and the deck's soul merge...

"Draw!"

Fujiki You Xuan smiled slightly.

Success.

"What I drew is 'Elemental HERO Bubbleman'." He revealed his hand. "When this is the only card in my hand, I can Special Summon it."

【Elemental HERO Bubbleman, ATK 800】

Marufuji Sho's eyes widened: "It's actually the same as Big Brother's..."

They all knew that if Judai had no cards in hand and nothing on the field, there was a 90% chance he would draw Bubbleman.

Of course, Fujiki You Xuan wasn't playing Elemental HEROes; Bubbleman was just a simple splash. After all, the anime effect of Bubbleman is basically equivalent to Pot of Greed, and the vast majority of decks can splash it.

"Oh, it's actually Bubbleman!"

Judai also happily put his hands on his hips.

"Hahaha, it's simply proof of our burning friendship!"

"Bubbleman's summon is successful; if there are no other cards on the field, I draw two cards."

Fujiki You Xuan drew his cards and then played one from his hand.

"Spell card 'Pot of Greed', draw two cards from the deck."

Dashan was shocked: "Is that the card that was drawn and shuffled back by the effect of 'Card Thief'!?"

Sure enough, he became more and more certain that he hadn't misjudged. The person in front of him was not only powerful in tactics and formations, but his ability to draw cards was equally impressive.

He was exactly the kind of truly powerful opponent he longed for!

Judai wasn't surprised at all, just smiling: "I said it, Fujiki You Xuan is a true duelist. This level is a matter of course."

Marufuji Sho: "..."

Indeed. For others, this should be an extraordinary performance, but by Judai's standards, this level can at best be considered a basic attack...

"Then, the effect of 'Plaguespreader Zombie' in the Graveyard." Fujiki You Xuan said. "By banishing this card from the Graveyard, I can Special Summon one Zombie-type monster from my Graveyard."

Dashan frowned: "There's still such a backup plan..."

"Therefore, by banishing 'Plaguespreader Zombie' from the game, 'Bone Crusher' is revived from the Graveyard!"

【Bone Crusher, ATK 2400】

"Sure enough," Asuka smiled. "Although this guy possesses that level of strength, he is not the type to entrust the outcome entirely to drawing cards."

Bone Crusher, reborn!

"'Bone Crusher', attack 'Enraged Ape'."

The fiery red ape was completely unable to resist the demon's attack, and after struggling to resist, it finally fell and exploded into fragments.

【Dashan, LP 4400 → LP 4000】

"Bubbleman's direct attack!"

Bubbleman also raised the water gun on the back of his hand, and a series of foam shots hit the face. Dashan crossed his arms to protect himself, getting soaked through.

【Dashan, LP 4000 → LP 3200】

"Then I set one monster in face-down Defense Position on the field," Fujiki You Xuan said. "Then I activate the Quick-Play Spell 'Evil Spirit Dispel', discard one card from my hand, and destroy all Continuous Trap cards on the field."

He discarded a card from his hand to the Graveyard.

"'Miracle Draw' destroyed!"

Dashan glanced at the trap destroyed in his back row: "Ho, a combo that stopped my one-turn kill by drawing cards?"

"And the card I discarded is the same Spell card 'Compensated Card' as yours before, draw two more cards from the deck."

Fujiki You Xuan drew his cards again.

After drawing, he smiled lightly.

It finally came.

The strongest combo he had been waiting for, sleeping in this deck until now.

"Set two cards, turn end."
