Chapter 417

Although Fujiki You Xuan didn't understand why, it seemed that the President appeared to have ignited his passion again while dueling.

It was very strange.

However, the situation on the field was indeed starting to get a bit tense. 4500 ATK, and it had basically invincible total resistance. While this thing wouldn't be considered very difficult to solve in the future Yu-Gi-Oh environment, even for mainstream decks, not every deck had a solution.

And in the context of the current era, it was undoubtedly super-modelled; saying the President had the strength to sweep the world in the contemporary era was definitely not an exaggeration.

However, even in this era, it was not unsolvable.

Of course, having said that, Fujiki You Xuan's hand count was now zero, and his field had been cleared. If he only drew a simple defensive monster, he definitely wouldn't be able to block the President's offensive in the next turn.

Most of the defensive, counter, or trap cards he usually used wouldn't work either. The current Ultimate Dragon possessed resistance that even surpassed the Egyptian Gods, and most traps were ineffective against it.

However, this also seemed to be a matter of course.

Kaiba Seto was never an opponent who could be won by tactics alone.

To win this duel, one must go a step further.

Thus, Fujiki You Xuan gently closed his eyes, his fingers resting on the Deck.

Just as Judai said, don't think about what you will draw next time.

Don't think about the results this draw might lead to. Don't hope to draw anything, and don't fear not drawing anything. Don't think, just feel.

Simply as a duelist, living in this moment, feeling this moment. Feeling the flow of energy in the Deck as if it contained bloodlines, feeling all his spirits, the rhythm of every card...

Fujiki You Xuan drew the card.

He kept his eyes tightly closed from beginning to end, not looking at what he had drawn at all.

With just a wave of his hand, he inserted it directly into the Duel Disk without even looking.

"I activate the Spell Card—"

"—'Card of Sanctity'!"

Dazzling rainbow light shot into the sky, dispersing into seven-colored brilliance, as if the treasure card turned into a materialized image, falling down like sweet rain from heaven.

The audience outside the field couldn't help but exclaim.

"Does this guy Fujiki You Xuan know what he drew without even looking!?"

Mokuba was greatly shocked.

He immediately remembered that this kind of thing seemed to have happened back then, on Yugi's side. At that time, even Kaiba felt it was incredible.

But Judai off-stage thought it was a matter of course.

"Isn't this natural?" Judai laughed. "True duelists are connected to their decks by soul. Sometimes when the feeling comes, even if you don't confirm it with your own eyes, you can feel the Deck's response."

The jellyfish-head seemed to think this was a basic operation, nothing worth '6'ing.

Kaiba narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but reveal a trace of a smile again.

That guy's card again.

Exactly the same, it was exactly the same.

Back then, he also forced Atem into a desperate situation like this, even laughing out loud and arrogantly issuing a declaration of victory. However, half the champagne had already been opened, and that guy also annoyingly drew a 'Card of Sanctity' at the critical moment of desperation...

This is the feeling!

Kaiba's chest was surging with excitement, and his eyes seemed to be burning with flames. For a moment, the image of the young man in front of him actually overlapped briefly with his old friend, as if it were that former king waving the cards.

"Both players draw from their Decks until they have six cards in their hands!"

Kaiba drew cards along with him, laughing at the same time.

"Heh, created a chance for survival for yourself... but can you grasp this opportunity?"

Indeed. With the card efficiency of this era, even drawing six cards at once might not be able to solve the fully-resistant Ultimate Dragon.

However...

Accepting the effect of 'Card of Sanctity', the moment the cards were drawn, Fujiki You Xuan seemed to feel it too.

A strange throbbing, as if extraordinary power was rippling on one of the cards he drew.

Unlike Black Luster Soldier, unlike Silent Magician, unlike any spirit he had obtained.

Someone once said that there is a certain mysterious compatibility between duelists and monster spirits. The duelist's 'power' itself might attract spirits, and sometimes even an ordinary card, if used for a long time, will naturally give birth to a spirit.

And at this moment, he seemed to feel that kind of new, spiritual power. The spirit that belonged to him, awakened in the battles by his side time and time again.

Drawing the card, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

It's here.

"First, I summon this guy," Fujiki You Xuan smiled, revealing a monster card in his hand, "Torture Golem."

"Eh? An 8-star monster to be Normal Summoned?" Mokuba was strange.

"But not on my field, but on your field, President Kaiba," Fujiki You Xuan said. "'Torture Golem' can be Special Summoned on the opponent's field by Special Summoning two 'Torture Tokens' in Attack Position on your own field."

Two tokens appeared on Fujiki You Xuan's field.

【Torture Token, ATK 0】 x2

"Then 'Torture Golem', Special Summoned on your field, President."

After a vortex of storm, the eerie metal giant slowly stood up on Kaiba's field, its whole body covered in terrifying sharp weapons like torture instruments.

【Torture Golem, ATK 3000】

"Oh oh, Fujiki You Xuan summoned another monster that looks like a villain!" Judai complained.

Everyone was also very surprised.

Giving such a powerful monster to the opponent? What is this for?

This card was also an anime card from the GX era, but back then, surely no one would have thought that more than ten years later, such an ancient card would end up in jail.

The reason is simple. Torture Golem can be Special Summoned to the opponent's field by spawning tokens on your own field. Then, after entering the Link era, combined with Link Monsters that have the ability to bounce monsters back to the hand, by continuously bouncing Torture Golem back to the hand and continuously re-Special Summoning it, you can easily fill your field with tokens and gain a huge resource gap.

Of course, in the early environment, this card didn't attract too much attention, and the usage was also different.

Kaiba frowned, combining his understanding of Fujiki You Xuan over the past six months, he seemed to have vaguely guessed something.

"You guy, could it be..."

Fujiki You Xuan smiled.

"The fully-resistant Ultimate Dragon, so strong, too strong, this is the power of President Kaiba now."

"Then let the President see my trump card too. The strongest monster that houses my soul!"

He pulled out the card in his hand.

"By Tributing President Kaiba's 'Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon' and the 'Torture Golem' just summoned to the President's field, I Special Summon this powerful monster on the President's field!"

"Awakened from the magma of the abyss, the power of destruction and rebirth—"

"—Level 8, Lava Golem!!!"
