Chapter 981: vs Dragan

The spotlights on the track suddenly lit up, and the audience erupted into deafening cheers. Dragan drove his dark-colored D-Wheel slowly onto the track, and when he took off his goggles to reveal the "Lu En Eye" with flickering runes, a wave of exclamation immediately surged through the stands. At the same time, You Xuan's D-Wheel slid into the starting line from the opposite direction, also causing a heated commotion in the audience.

The two D-Wheels were side-by-side. Dragan glanced at You Xuan, narrowed his eyes, and smiled: "Fujiki You Xuan, who exactly are you?"

"Hmm?" You Xuan looked at him and said in a relaxed tone, "I am just me."

Dragan shook his head: "We can't find any past duel records of you. A duelist as strong as you can't just pop out of thin air.

Incredible, my 'Lu En Eye' tells me you are a dangerous guy, but I can't see through why you are dangerous."

He said, and marks like Nordic runes appeared in his irises again. That was the "Lu En Eye," the power possessed by all three members of Team Ragnarok, just like the Dragon Marks of the messengers chosen by the Red Dragon.

This eye was the proof of them being messengers chosen by the Gods.

"To be honest, I haven't encountered an opponent that even the 'Lu En Eye' can't see through." Dragan asked, "Who are you? Why participate in the WRGP, or why participate alone?"

"What else could it be? Challenging my own limits." You Xuan smiled.

"Is that so..." Dragan didn't seem to believe it, but still said, "Although I don't know what you want to achieve through this match, give up.

You are strong, I can see that. But no matter how strong, there is absolutely no duelist in the world who can fight to the end with three Gods as opponents. If you really want to test your limits through this match, we will satisfy you and use today's duel to make you realize that."

During the conversation between the two, the floating board on the track had entered the countdown to start.

Both sides twisted the throttle hard, the engines idling, the roar of the D-Wheels like two beasts shaking their power at each other, ready to go at any moment.

"Turbo Duel, accelerate!" x2

【You Xuan, LP 4000】

【Dragan, LP 4000】

Both D-Wheels shot out like arrows from a bow, turning into two meteors and rushing onto the track.

Well, of course, as always in a Turbo Duel, it was the opponent's first turn. You Xuan indicated that we Kings must have the King's demeanor, watch the opponent perform first, and then counter-kill, which is called the King's duel.

It's definitely not because my riding skills aren't good enough to grab the lead from the opponent...

"I'll take the first turn, draw!"

Dragan shouted.

"I summon 'Nordic Beast Tanngrisnir'!"

The vortex of starlight opened, and a burst of white lightning was released from the vortex, landing on the side of Dragan's D-Wheel. The light and electricity gathered together, turning into a white mountain goat, running on the side of the D-Wheel with all four hooves moving.

【Nordic Beast Tanngrisnir, ATK 1200】

Then Dragan played three more cards from his hand in one go.

"I set three cards in the backrow, turn end!"

The pompadour commentator immediately said passionately: "Oh, three set cards on the first turn! It seems Dragan-senshu is setting up an iron-wall formation right from the start, fully prepared, and didn't relax his vigilance just because they have an absolute advantage of three against one!"

You Xuan also clicked his tongue: "Three set cards, is it that scary?" The main reason everyone wants to grab the first turn is because the first player has the right to set up the field in advance. For example, if you set five backrow cards on the first turn, and all five are powerful traps, naturally, the second player will be trapped at every step, unable to move at all.

In the early Yu-Gi-Oh, the interference that could be set up on the first turn was mainly various traps, so although the first turn had an advantage, it wasn't that huge.

And with the development of the environment becoming increasingly high-speed, in modern Yu-Gi-Oh, you don't need traps for interference at all. The first player talks for five minutes, directly summoning a bunch of big monsters that can blow up cards on the opponent's turn and negate any effect on the opponent's turn. The second player only has six cards in their starting hand, and the opponent's field has nine negations, so you can't play at all.

This is why the rules of Yu-Gi-Oh were later changed to "the first player cannot draw a card," because the first-turn advantage is indeed too great and must be weakened. But even with one less card, reality has proven that the first turn still has an absolute advantage, and for a time, Yu-Gi-Oh was even evaluated by card players as a "rock-paper-scissors game," where the victory of the duel was decided the moment rock-paper-scissors was won.

After all, Yu-Gi-Oh is a very cruel game; it's already rare for one of the two people to be able to play, and only the first player has the right to play cards. The second player drinks tea, eats melon seeds, and is in a daze, and when they come back to their senses, they can almost type GG amidst laughter.

Of course, that brutal version hasn't arrived yet, and the second player can still play in this era.

"My turn, draw." You Xuan smiled faintly, "Using Gods as opponents? That's truly something to look forward to. For this battle today, I deliberately prepared the most suitable opponent for Gods."

"The most suitable for Gods?" Dragan raised his eyebrows.

The fact that the other party likes to change various messy decks was something they, Team Ragnarok, had investigated beforehand. Precisely because of this, You Xuan's tactics were difficult to study and difficult to target.

But after the three members of Team Ragnarok discussed it, they all agreed that this was irrelevant. Anyway, no matter how many flowers the opponent's deck changes, they will deal with it with the same attitude. They have absolute confidence in their Gods, and any enemy can be crushed, not to mention that the opponent only has one person.

Therefore, Dragan smiled again when he heard this: "Is that so? Then I'll look forward to it a little bit too. But I have to say it first, there is absolutely no thing in this world that can defeat Gods!"

"There is no absolute in the world of dueling." You Xuan said, "I summon 'Dummy Possum'."

【Dummy Possum, ATK 800】

"The effect of Dummy Possum: during my Main Phase, if a monster with higher ATK than this card exists on the opponent's field, this card can destroy itself."

You Xuan pointed to the possum that had just appeared.

"Play dead!"

The small possum looked at the mountain goat Nordic Beast on the opposite field and gasped.

1200 ATK!

Too scary!

So the possum immediately rolled its eyes and lay on the ground, its white belly facing the sky.

I must play dead immediately!

Boom!

The possum self-destructed into a cloud of black smoke.

"At this moment, the effect of 'Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest' in my hand is activated." You Xuan said, "When a Beast-type monster on my field is destroyed, I can pay 1000 Life Points to Special Summon this card from my hand or Graveyard."

【You Xuan, LP 4000 -> LP 3000】

"Come out, Green Baboon!"
