Chapter 235: Mutual Changes

Chapter 235: Mutual Changes

"Truly a duel befitting the two strongest of the new generation."

Asuka leaned against the railing of the high platform, her eyes fixed on the intense battle unfolding below.

"Right from the start, this duel has been a fierce clash, and it's still too close to call which way the scales will tip."

"Indeed," replied Ryo Marufuji, standing behind her. "And the progress both duelists have made in just one short semester is astonishing."

"Is that so?" Asuka turned to face him.

"Yes," Ryo nodded. "I dueled with Yugo Tenjo once, and even then, I knew he was someone special. But I never expected such incredible improvement in just one semester."

"Kaizar feels the same way," Asuka murmured.

"And I'm sure the same can be said for You Xuan," Ryo added. "A truly fearsome duelist with incredible potential."

"Mmm." Asuka paused, deep in thought. "I think these two push each other to greater heights. They bring out the best in one another."

She didn't elaborate, but a sudden premonition washed over her.

This was the first time Tenjo and You Xuan had faced each other in such a formal and important duel. And through this confrontation, both of them might just break through to new levels.

"My turn, draw!" You Xuan declared. "I activate the Magic Card, 'Spellbook of the Master,' which allows both players to draw three cards from their decks." (Original Card)

Tenjo drew from his deck, a smile playing on his lips. "Are you sure you want me to draw? I'm quite confident in my drawing skills, you know."

You Xuan returned his smile.

"As you said, this duel is about giving it our all. It's not just about victory, but also about testing my limits and pushing beyond them."

"I see," Tenjo said with a grin. "So, you're challenging me to a draw-off? Very well, challenge accepted!"

"Draw!" x2

Both duelists drew from their decks simultaneously, their faces soon breaking into matching smiles.

For You Xuan, this duel was about more than just victory—it was a test of his destiny force level, a validation of his growth as a duelist. Maintaining a steady performance against Tenjo was crucial if he wanted to join the ranks of the very best.

And with his dedicated training and the blessing of his spirit, he was performing admirably.

"Bring it on, Tenjo!"

"You bet!" Tenjo's eyes sparkled with competitive spirit.

"I banish 'Chaos Sorcerer' of darkness from my graveyard, along with 'Blade Knight' of light, which I sent from my deck to the banished zone earlier!" You Xuan proclaimed, raising a card high.

"The souls of light and darkness are sacrificed to the chaos realm, summoning forth a legendary warrior!"

Beams of light and darkness dissolved into the chaotic vortex, countless particles dancing and transforming into majestic armor and dual blades of light and shadow, as if they had emerged from the dawn of creation itself.

"The heavens and earth are split asunder! Behold, the legendary warrior—

—Chaos Soldier, Envoy of the Beginning, descend!"

"It's here at last!" Tenjo's eyes blazed with excitement. "A legendary warrior! Rending the very heavens!"

[Chaos Soldier, Envoy of the Beginning: ATK 3000]

"I activate the effect of Chaos Soldier, Envoy of the Beginning," You Xuan explained. "Once per turn, I can banish one monster on your field as the cost to forgo my attack this turn. I banish your 'Elemental Hero Flame Wingman'! Chaos Dimensional Slash!"

The Chaos Soldier raised its sword, a blade that transcended the boundaries of time and space. The rippling sword energy, accompanied by the rending of space itself, carved a long, narrow gash through the very fabric of reality, aimed directly at Flame Wingman.

Flame Wingman's body split in two, reverting back to the hardworking couple's form, with one on the left and the other on the right, both backing away. The domineering dimensional rift slashed between the two, as if extending to the end of the horizon.

The hard-working duo both assumed a defensive position.

[Elemental Hero Winged Kuriboh, DEF 1000]

[Elemental Hero Blazewing, DEF 800]

"This way, the Chaos Dimensional Slash has lost its target and becomes an empty attack." Yugo smiled. "Also, since the Chaos Soldier has used its effect this turn, it cannot attack."

The golden commentator, Mitsawa, couldn't help but praise again, "Amazing! By using Fusion Destruction, he avoided the Chaos Soldier's most powerful effect and blocked the attack in one fell swoop!"

"Then I flip the face-down monster on the field."

You Xuan lifted his hand, and the face-down monster on the field flipped over.

"The monster I set on the field is... Shadow Mask!"

[Shadow Mask, ATK 900]

"When Shadow Mask is flipped face-up, I can add a Trap Card from my Graveyard to my hand."

A slight smile curved on You Xuan's lips as he drew the Trap Card that popped out from the Graveyard and briefly displayed it.

"So, I retrieve this Continuous Trap, 'Fusion Prohibition Area.'"

Crowd: "!"

Some of the spectators couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

That annoying card again!

Even the spectators around the arena seemed to empathize, their fists clenching. After all that effort Yugo had put in to get rid of that pesky card, it was back in You Xuan's hand in the blink of an eye.

"Ha, I knew You Xuan wouldn't let me off that easily."

But unlike the spectators, Yugo's fighting spirit remained unwavering.

"However, I also have a countermeasure—

—I activate my face-down card, the Trap Card, 'Mind Crush'!"

"What?!?!"

The entire audience was even more shocked, and everyone involuntarily stood up from their seats.

Wait,

Why do you have a card from his deck in your hand, Jellyfish Head?

Isn't that a Trap Card used by the Yellow-Clad Controller?

"Mind Crush, declare a card name, if your opponent has that exact card in their hand, they must discard it.

If they do not have it, I randomly discard a card from my hand."

Yugo paused for a moment and smiled.

"Of course, the card I'm declaring is—

—'Fusion Prohibition Area'!"

"Oh dear, what bad luck. I just so happen to have this card in my hand."

You Xuan feigned disappointment as he revealed the Trap Card he had just retrieved, then sent it to the Graveyard.

Yugo happily returned the gesture with a "V" sign, his face beaming with joy, "Lucky guess! Then, You Xuan, please discard that card."

Spectators: ". "

Wait, are you two putting on a show here?

But as these two dueled, it felt like they were each pulling out a "Take Over 5" card, and now Yugo had suddenly pulled out a Trap Card from his opponent's deck. The spectators felt a sense of deja vu, as if they were watching a duel between two disciples from the same school.

"Indeed, it's not an illusion." Marufuji Ryo smiled as he crossed his arms. "That Yugo Tenjo has changed quite a bit compared to before."

"Mmm."

Asuka nodded, her expression somewhat peculiar.

It's just unclear whether this is a good or bad thing.
