Draw.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I flip the face-down monster on my field. The monster I set is this one—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"—Dragon Rider, flip summon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dragon Rider, ATK 700]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dragon Rider's flip effect,\" You Xuan said. \"When this card is flipped, until the end of the turn, I can take control of one face-up Dragon-type monster on your field.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore, I take control of your 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon'!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>AI Kaiba: \"!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, why do you even have that thing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is this meaningless junk?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a knight clad in a red cloak leaped forward, skillfully mounting the back of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon followed its adept rider over to You Xuan's field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students in the stands erupted into an uproar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He actually managed to steal the legendary Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Hehehe, brothers, I'm so excited!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected of Boss You Xuan; he effortlessly accomplished what we wouldn't even dare to imagine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>AI Kaiba: \"You bastard...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, from the perspective of the onlookers, the more they watched, the happier they became, feeling they had never seen a duel this entertaining. The audience gradually forgot they were system-locked and hijacked inside the venue; each one watched with relish, and even strangers on the street began cheering for You Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, no matter which world it is, there are always thrill-seekers; who doesn't love watching such amusing spectacles?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After crossing over and going through consecutive duels while studying the meta, You Xuan quickly discovered that duelists in this world held an inexplicable preference for Dragon-types.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was only natural. After all, from a realistic perspective, Konami itself was originally dragon-obsessed, and Chairman Kaiba, who led the duel industry in this world, was also dragon-obsessed; since Dragon-types were inherently cool and powerful, it was inevitable they would become a popular archetype.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, when selecting his side deck, You Xuan immediately stuffed it with a bunch of unconventional weapons specifically designed to counter Dragons. Since there was no upper limit on side deck slots, he could fill them freely; adding more of these cheap, meaningless items wouldn't make much difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying goes, better safe than sorry; today, they certainly proved useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take the next card, for instance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although I gained control of the Blue-Eyes, because 'Dragon Capture Jar' is still on the field, no Dragon-type monsters can switch to attack position, including those on my own field.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan drew another card from his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will tribute 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' to perform a tribute summon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was an illusion or not, at this moment, he seemed to hear the sound of AI Kaiba's teeth grinding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You damn—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there was anything more infuriating for the Chairman than having his beloved White Bride stolen, it might be having her stolen and then tributed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if there was anything more infuriating than the White Bride being tributed, it would be that the monster summoned via tribute had \"targeted harassment\" written all over its face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tribute summon! Level 6, Dragon Destroyer!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dragon Destroyer, ATK 2000]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dragon Destroyer's effect: when this card is successfully summoned, destroy all face-up Dragon-type monsters.\" You Xuan pointed again at Kaiba's field. \"Destroy 'Crystal Dragon'!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue-green demon glared furiously ahead; upon spotting the Crystal Dragon, it let out a roar, as if declaring, \"The one I'm hitting is precisely a dragon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thunderous boom, the Crystal Dragon shattered into a pile of ice crystals, completely destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In You Xuan's opinion, this card wasn't particularly outstanding; it required a tribute summon just to destroy Dragons, and as a six-star, its attack was merely 2000. Compare that to the \"Lei Di\" from the Monarch deck, a five-star with 2400 attack that could destroy any monster regardless of attribute or type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the Monarch series cards might be rare and simply hadn't appeared yet. Overall, You Xuan rated this card as merely decent for countering Dragon-tamers in this early meta, nothing too strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if one had to point out its advantage, it lay in the name \"Dragon Destroyer,\" which was packed full of taunting potential, and that effect which practically screamed, \"Today, I'm specifically targeting you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, when used in combination with other counter-cards, it offered a better chance of breaking the opponent's mentality before depleting their Life Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opposing AI fell silent for a moment, as if rendered speechless by the sheer audacity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might have been thinking: I may not be human, but you are truly a dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, just take a look for yourself; are these the kinds of things any decent human being should be running?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dragon Destroyer, direct attack,\" You Xuan ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the AI still had a countermeasure: \"Activate face-down card, Trap Card—Gate of Reflection! When an opponent's monster declares a direct attack, negate that attack, and I draw one card from my deck!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A transparent defensive gate materialized before him; the Dragon Destroyer's full-force strike slammed into that barrier, its impact energy entirely absorbed and transformed into golden light that flowed into his deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Attack negated, and I draw a card from my deck!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, I'll attack directly with 'Dragon Rider' again,\" You Xuan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having lost its mount, the Dragon Rider's combat power plummeted, yet it still charged forward with sword in hand, slashing down from above AI Kaiba's head. The AI's holographic image flickered and distorted from the impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[AI Kaiba, LP 4000 → LP 3300]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, I will set three more cards in my backrow. Turn end.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three more pitch-black set cards appeared amidst golden special effects, causing the onlooking crowd to gasp in shock once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy was already this underworldly ruthless by just the second turn, and now he had set three more cards in his backrow?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before those three set cards had even been activated, the crowd below already felt a faint chill, as if the entire venue had dropped several degrees in temperature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is this young man? To actually suppress Kaiba's deck to this extent...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A passerby inside the venue wondered aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, I think I've seen him before... He's the champion of this year's Moonlight Cup tournament!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nani? That newcomer who brutally defeated the legendary duelist Dinosaur Ryuzaki in the finals?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doesn't that mean we're witnessing a true god-tier player? This is too strong...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was AI Kaiba's turn: \"Draw!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother AI looked visibly furious; this turn, he didn't even seem to have the mood to say lines like \"Full Speed Ahead\" or \"Second-rate duelist\" to cosplay as his original self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I activate the Spell Card 'Melody of Awakening Dragon' from my hand!\" AI Kaiba declared. \"Discard one card from my hand; add up to two Dragon-type monsters with 3000 or more attack and 2500 or less defense from my deck to my hand!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just hearing the name made it feel like a card printed specifically using the White Bride's ID.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I add these two cards from my deck to my hand...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>AI Kaiba drew the two searched cards from his deck, making a flamboyant yet exaggerated sweeping motion with his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I add another 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' and one 'Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon' to my hand!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, he already had the Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon's effect! This card can be special summoned by revealing one 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' in my hand to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore, I reveal this 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' I just searched!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>AI Kaiba slapped that card onto his virtual duel disk; in that instant, it was as if endless deep blue light erupted from the disk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let that light illuminate the void, let that power shake heaven and earth!
