The red glow of the trap released, and an invisible restriction fell upon Lina’s rear-field ripple shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【You Xuan, LP 4000 → LP 3000】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water barrier behind Lina instantly shattered, disintegrating into fragments. Transparent ripples exploded outward, and the water shield vanished completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina’s face showed utter despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Counter Trap—again, a Counter Trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Endless counterattacks; she can’t do anything at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She can’t summon monsters, can’t activate effects, and now she can’t even pass the traps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She can’t do anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This deck can’t play at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Additionally, since another Counter Trap was activated,” You Xuan said slowly, “the effect of ‘Abundant Artemis’ triggers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When a Counter Trap activates, I draw one card from my deck.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan drew a card. At the same time, the newly summoned Mo Ti Wu’s body shimmered with divine light; golden radiance fell upon You Xuan, and a warm current flowed into him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The effect of Sky Saint Mo Ti Wu,” You Xuan said. “While this card is on the field, whenever either player activates a Counter Trap, I recover 1000 Life Points.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【You Xuan, LP 3000 → LP 4000】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina’s eyes grew even more desperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the 1000 Life Points she paid were restored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the damage she had managed to inflict with her utmost effort vanished. Mo Ti Wu’s presence nullified the cost of activating The Thief’s Seven Tools. No—in fact, before this, the draw effect of ‘Abundant Artemis’ in the previous turn had already negated the cost of discarding a card from hand for ‘Heaven’s Punishment’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Attack continues,” You Xuan said. “‘Abundant Artemis’ and ‘Pluto Dragon – God of Judgment’—launch consecutive direct attacks!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pluto Dragon’s strike brought the first round of the Super Team to a close. Dark purple light churned in its throat, scorching the air into twisted cracks. Its black wings snapped shut, and a column of dark purple flame roared forth, a torrent of icy fire sweeping across Lina’s D-Wheel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aaaah—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Lina, LP 3200 → LP 0】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive burst of steam exploded from the front of Lina’s D-Wheel, and it rapidly slowed. You Xuan, who had been trailing behind, accelerated and swiftly overtook her from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spectator stands erupted. Someone began shouting You Xuan’s name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The airplane-haired commentator was emotionally charged: “This is unthinkable! You Xuan has cleared the round unscathed—he won the first match without taking a single point of damage!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could he really defeat three opponents single-handedly and advance?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Defeated, Lina steered her D-Wheel back to the team’s repair station to hand over to her next teammate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina’s face flushed with shame. “I’m sorry—I couldn’t…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine,” said Black, the next team captain, patting her shoulder. “It’s not your fault. We were unprepared—this new head of the Peacekeeping Bureau is truly strange.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now all three had completely abandoned their initial arrogance; they realized this man was far beyond an ordinary duelist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the thought seemed absurd, You Xuan was serious—he truly intended to compete alone, seeking a place for himself on the WRGB stage, where the world’s greatest stars gathered!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was insane!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Super Team had once been North American champions, and they had entered this tournament aiming for the title. If they lost their first preliminary match—especially if they were crushed by a single opponent—the blow to morale would be unprecedented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the preliminary match’s outcome wouldn’t directly determine advancement or elimination, they absolutely could not afford to lose this one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The D-Wheel ignited, and Black shot onto the track like a silver meteor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Super Team sends their second round hand—Captain Black!” said the airplane-haired commentator. “Can the captain who replaced Lina turn the tide?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black: “My turn, draw!” Black took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the opponent was only one person, Lina hadn’t taken even a single point of Life Points from him. Even though they still had two against one, he couldn’t afford to be careless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Activate Quick-Play Spell—‘Emergency Teleport’!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black immediately played the Psychic God Card: Emergency Teleport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This card can only be activated when you have no monsters on your field,” Black said. “Special Summon one Psychic-type monster of Level 3 or lower from your deck. However, monsters Special Summoned by this effect are banished at the end of this turn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A monster card automatically popped out from his D-Wheel deck; Black drew it and slapped it onto the dueling field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Special Summon ‘Psychic Seeker’!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small Psychic, wearing goggles and resembling a child, appeared on the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Psychic Seeker, ATK 800】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Psychic Seeker, ATK 800】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, tribute ‘Psychic Seeker’!” Black said. “Advanced Summon! Appear—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“—Level 6, Maximum Teleporter!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Maximum Teleporter, ATK 2100】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maximum Teleporter, activate its effect!” Black said. “By paying 2000 Life Points, I can Special Summon two Level 3 Psychic-type monsters from my deck to my field.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Black, LP 4000 → LP 2000】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The airplane-haired commentator: “Captain Black immediately paid 2000 Life Points! Is he willing to pay such a price just to launch an offensive?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor, the teammate watching from the sidelines, looked grim. “Black is taking this seriously…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina, already off the field, said: “Captain You Xuan is truly an opponent worthy of this level of effort. He cannot be defeated by someone unwilling to pay the cost.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, two cards automatically popped from Black’s deck; he drew them and immediately slapped both onto the dueling field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I Special Summon these two cards! Appear—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Psychic Commander!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Silent Psychic Priest!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same Priest Lina had used earlier stepped calmly onto the field, adopting a defensive stance before the D-Wheel. The Psychic Commander was a Psychic warrior clad in military armor, his face hidden behind a steel mask, his lower body concealed within a hovering tank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Psychic Commander, ATK 1400】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Silent Psychic Priest, DEF 2100】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Silent Psychic Priest’s effect: once per turn, discard one card from hand to banish one Psychic-type monster from my graveyard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black sent one card from hand to the graveyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I banish ‘Psychic Seeker’ from my graveyard!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it was the Super Team’s moment to strike back!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1031,"2026-06-19T08:58:37.480Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","3303c72be5552c9437ff3efbe0f11f011637d9b20c49c41a2c790047a1db0a4f","who-let-him-play-yu-gi-oh-chapter-964","who-let-him-play-yu-gi-oh-chapter-962",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwho-let-him-play-yu-gi-oh-cover.jpg"]
