Chapter 387: Dueling Until Mentally Unstable

The first match of the quarterfinals ended, and Fujiki You Xuan successfully became the first contestant to advance in this round.

Others didn't have much of an opinion on this result, but the process was somewhat unexpected, especially for those who weren't as familiar with Fujiki You Xuan.

The Planet series cards are each unique and ultra-rare worldwide, so for those present, today was the first time seeing "The Splendid VENUS."

So naturally, they were also discovering for the first time that the resistance of "all your own Spells/Traps cannot be negated" of The Splendid VENUS was used this way...

Indeed, as long as Jin Xing is present, all Spell/Trap lockdowns that affect the entire field automatically become one-way; once this formation is set, the opponent can basically take their hands off the Duel Disk.

And in this duel just now, The Splendid VENUS indeed demonstrated the powerful dominance of the Planet series, using her ability as the core to directly suppress the opponent to death.

It's just that the eerie part is that The Splendid VENUS was the opponent's trump card, but it was designed by Fujiki You Xuan as the core of this ultimate stall tactic.

It's not like I haven't seen lockdown decks, and stall decks aren't unheard of in the current environment, although they are considered unorthodox.

But this kind of stall using the opponent's trump card as the core is truly something I've never seen before...

After the duel, the opponent was already mentally unstable, so Fujiki You Xuan put away his Duel Disk, silently picked up "The Splendid VENUS" which he had stolen during the duel and was currently placed on his Duel Disk, and tucked it into his pocket.

Not to mention others, even the adjudicator, who was the incarnation of the God of Orichalcos, asked himself that he had lived for so many years and seemed to have never seen such a strange thing.

And the average person present didn't see it, but Kaiba, who had experienced many supernatural events in DM and had quite a bit of experience, as well as several others including the adjudicator, could all see that the person had been swapped during the duel.

But this wasn't strange. Substitute spirits have never been a rare thing since ancient times, and those in the know all knew that even Yugi Wu Teng used a substitute back in the day.

However, substitute spirits aren't strange, but being so angry that they pulled the plug and ran away halfway through... that's truly something I've never seen before.

The final development of the duel seemed to be that after Jin Xing was stolen and the seal was formed, the crayfish instantly broke down, and without a word, went offline and played dead.

"That guy is called Tragoedia, right?"

Loren of the Xin Xin Duoma Three Musketeers couldn't help but say.

"I remember this guy shouldn't be an ordinary monster either?"

"Hmm." The adjudicator said casually.

Loren didn't speak again.

Tragoedia, no matter what, is a boss-level high-ranking monster; even if placed in the organization, he would at least be on the level of the Xin Xin Duoma Three Musketeers... no, maybe even above that.

Although he was a substitute, to think such an existence was actually angered into running away...

"Keep an eye on this brat."

The adjudicator suddenly spoke, glanced at Fujiki You Xuan who was walking off the stage, and said indifferently.

"Hmm, hmm."

Loren nodded, only looking at Fujiki You Xuan with strange eyes.

When he first heard that the "Sealing Vessel" had fallen into the hands of such a character—a student at Duel Academy—he only felt that this person was probably just lucky.

But now, not much of that thought remained.

It seemed that it might not be a coincidence that the item fell into this person's hands. Although he looks like a harmless student on the surface, it's hard to say whether he's even human in reality.

If one were to duel this guy, one must be twelve times more vigilant.

Marufuji Ryo watched the entire duel, and for a moment was speechless.

He thought back to when he dueled this person during the preliminary stage, that feeling where no matter how he attacked, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, that feeling where his proud Cyber Dragon assault was unprecedentedly powerless.

Since then, Marufuji Ryo had actually fallen into a certain degree of confusion.

This might be the first time in his life he began to doubt his own path, began to consider casting his gaze toward more possibilities. And the first to enter his mind was naturally Fujiki You Xuan, who had left a deep impression on him through dueling and, as far as he knew, was invincible.

Fujiki You Xuan's dueling was naturally the exact opposite of his past path. Take this match just now, he couldn't feel half a point of respect for the opponent.

But you have to say, did he win or not?

And looking at Fujiki You Xuan jumping off the stage, high-fiving Judai, it seemed his dueling also seemed quite happy.

Marufuji Ryo fell into thought.

As expected, compared to the process, maybe winning is still more important in dueling?

At this time, a medical team arranged by Kaiba Corp had already arrived on stage, and a professional medical team surrounded Rei, who was unconscious on the field.

Such a competition naturally comes with a top-tier medical team, and the specifications are even much higher than ordinary competitive sports.

After all, isn't it common knowledge that playing cards is the most dangerous competitive sport in the world?

Look, the first match just finished and there's someone who dueled until they were mentally unstable.

The doctors quickly lifted Rei onto a stretcher and took her to the infirmary.

"Hmm... the duel seems to have had a small accident, everyone go back and wait for a while, the organizers will notify you to continue the later schedule."

After Isono's brief announcement, he went along with the medical team for the time being.

The doctor leading the team there asked in a low voice: "Are you still going to continue this competition?"

"Of course." Isono said calmly.

"Ah, but such a thing has happened..."

The doctor seemed to find it a bit unbelievable.

"You might not know the seriousness of the problem. But this girl might never be able to get out of bed for the rest of her life... no, it's even very possible she might never wake up again."

"Hmm, I know." Isono nodded calmly.

Doctor: "?"

Why can you accept such a terrible thing so nonchalantly?

"Don't worry, the contestants signed an agreement before participating." Isono said.

Doctor: "No, this isn't a question of an agreement or not..."

"You really should see what the first tournament was like."

Isono patted him on the shoulder, speaking in the tone of someone who had been through it.

Isono also served as a referee for the first tournament back then.

Indeed, compared to that tournament, this was just a small scene.

In the first round of the first tournament, Yugi Wu Teng had Osiris the Sky Dragon's Super Conduction Wave send Bakura to the ICU, and next, in the duel between the Gravekeeper's Rishid and Katsuya Jonouchi, Rishid tried to use a fake card to summon the Winged Dragon of Ra and was struck by divine punishment, becoming a vegetable.

And then there was Marik Ishtar, who somehow dueled until he had an afro, and his originally normal face suddenly became sinister, successively sending Mai Kujaku and Jonouchi to the infirmary...

And back then, it was constant celestial phenomena and divine punishment, the scene was much more exaggerated than this time. Almost every match had someone collapse, but weren't the cards still being played?

But the doctor seemed to be a newcomer and found this unreasonable.

So he then sought out President Kaiba.

"President, do you think this competition should continue?"

Kaiba raised an eyebrow: "Why not?"

"Uh, but the contestant just now seems to be unconscious..."

"Is there something wrong with that?"

Doctor: "?"
