Chapter 1095: Transformation Strike
"Marshmallow's Monster Effect."
You Xuan explained to Long Ya with a light laugh.
"If this card in Defensive Position is attacked, the player who attacked it takes 1000 points of damage."
Long Ya: "Huh? Really?"
The glasses-wearing student beside him said, "But even so, the monster should still be destroyed by battle."
"Marshmallow won't be destroyed by battle", You Xuan said.
Long Ya: "What!? If it won't be destroyed, then the Recorder's continuous attack effect is useless."
You Xuan: "And I reveal the Cover Card, the Trap Card 'Sacrificial Treasure Card.'
If the total Attack Power of all my monsters is lower than the lowest Attack Power of any monster on your field, I can draw two cards from my Deck." (Original effect)
Long Ya: "Marshmallow's Attack Power is lower than the Recorder's."
The tiny Marshmallow stood tall and proud, as if taking pride in its low Attack Power.
"Indeed", You Xuan said. "So, I draw two cards.
However, on the turn I activate this card, I cannot summon, flip summon, or special summon any monsters."
Long Ya grumbled, "Fine, then my turn ends."
In the original series, Yusei often commented that at this stage, Long Ya was mostly immersed in his own duels, not considering his opponent's tactics or responses. He was only satisfied with his own combos.
While this showcased his passion for dueling, Yusei pointed out that such an approach wouldn't take him far. Duels should be an interaction, a clash of strategies and tactics.
This theory still held true in the current era, but You Xuan thought that in the future, it might not be the case.
After all, in the modern Yu-Gi-Oh! era, players with mainstream decks could drone on for five minutes about their strategies, and by the time they were done, the duel was almost over, with no real interaction. You only needed to focus on your own setup.
In that sense, Long Ya's understanding of dueling was quite advanced.
You Xuan: "So, it's my turn. Draw."
"I activate the Magic Card 'Greed and Humility Pot.'
I reveal the top three cards of my Deck and add one to my hand. The rest return to the Deck."
You Xuan drew three cards, glanced at them, and chose one to add to his hand. The remaining cards were shuffled back into his Deck.
"However, 'Greed and Humility Pot' has a downside", You Xuan said. "On the turn I activate this card, I cannot special summon any monsters."
Long Ya crossed his arms. "What? If I can't special summon, it's hard to launch an effective attack."
"Indeed."
You Xuan smiled and continued.
"Then, I set two cards in my back row. Next, I activate the Magic Card 'Hand Destruction' from my hand.
Both players discard all their hand cards and then draw the same number of cards."
Long Ya's face fell. "What? Discard hand cards again?"
He gritted his teeth, clearly reluctant to part with each card. He muttered to himself as he slowly sent each card to the graveyard.
The glasses-wearing student watched and felt puzzled.
"This guy keeps drawing and replacing his hand. He's already gone through a lot of cards by the second turn."
Marshmallow on the field was a solid meat shield, but apart from dealing 1000 points of damage when flipped, it had no other offensive capabilities. However, it seemed the opponent had no intention of launching any other attacks.
It almost seemed like he was just stalling for time.
Using Marshmallow to stall, it appeared You Xuan was preparing to search for something specific in his Deck.
"The effect of Hand Destruction allows me to send one of the cards discarded to the Graveyard, which is the Monster Card 'Scholar Sprite.'"
A spectacled spirit appeared on You Xuan's field, adjusting its glasses and flipping through a complex spellbook as it chanted an incantation.
"By sending Scholar Sprite to the Graveyard, I can draw one card from my Deck."
You Xuan drew another card.
"Then, I activate the card on my field." You Xuan revealed his backrow, "Magic Card: Burial Spell Treasure Card."
This card allows me to banish three Magic Cards from the Graveyard and draw two cards from my Deck."
A golden light flashed in You Xuan's Duel Disk Graveyard, and three cards were sequentially returned to his hand. You Xuan displayed them.
"I banish the Magic Cards 'Hand Destruction,' 'Dark World Deal,' and 'Greed and Humility Pot' from the Graveyard, and draw two cards from my Deck."
Long Ya was taken aback. He couldn't even count how many cards You Xuan had drawn in just a couple of turns.
Was this guy here to play a card-drawing game, or to duel?
"Next, I summon 'Air Circulator' in Defense Position."
Finally, You Xuan summoned a monster. It was a blue-shelled robot with a giant fan on its head, which started spinning as soon as it hit the field.
[Air Circulator, Defense Power 600]
"Air Circulator's effect", You Xuan explained, "activates when this card is successfully summoned.
I return two cards from my hand to the Deck and shuffle."
You Xuan selected two cards from his hand, inserted them into his Deck, and the Duel Disk automatically shuffled. Two more cards were then ejected, which he drew into his hand.
"After shuffling, I can draw two more cards from my Deck."
"More hand changes", Long Ya scratched his head, "Can you hurry up, Uncle? It's my turn yet?"
You Xuan chuckled.
Kids had no patience. If this was the modern Yu-Gi-Oh! environment, and the opponent took five minutes to explain their moves, he'd probably be in a state of despair.
"Finally, I set one card and end my turn."
The glasses-wearing student, unlike Long Ya, wasn't just focused on his own turn. He watched as You Xuan kept drawing cards, feeling a bit uneasy.
"Long Ya, be careful. Something seems off about this guy's Duel."
"I know, I know! Don't worry!"
Long Ya was excited.
"Alright, finally! It's my turn again, Draw!"
Long Ya drew a card.
"I summon the Synchro Monster, 'Transformer Fighter Remote'!"
A small white device, resembling an air conditioner remote, appeared. The remote's screen lit up with a pair of large, cartoonish green eyes, and it sprouted long, slender arms and legs, bouncing energetically.
[Transformer Fighter Remote, Attack Power 300]
"Here it comes! Finally, it's here!"
Long Ya's excitement reached its peak.
"I use the Level 3 'Transformer Fighter Remote'!
And the Level 4 'Transformer Fighter Recorder' for a Synchro Summon!"
[3 + 4 = 7]
"To protect world peace, I synchronize courage and strength! Synchro Summon!
The messenger of love and justice—
—Power Tool Dragon!!!"
