Chapter 818: Dreams
You Xuan initially thought that the Treasure Beasts in the anime were similar to their physical card counterparts, but now he realizes that his memory was indeed biased.
The most significant difference is that in the anime, all the Treasure Beasts are physically limited to one copy each—after all, they are crafted from priceless treasures salvaged from sunken ships, and as priceless treasures, there can't possibly be duplicates.
This difference is undoubtedly significant. There are only seven Treasure Beasts in total, and John doesn't have Rainbow Dragon in the early stages, which means he only has seven Treasure Beast cards in his entire deck that he can use.
In a forty-card deck, the minimum standard size, there are only seven monster cards out of forty.
With such a deck, John has gone through numerous battles, big and small, and has never once faced a situation where he ran out of monsters or experienced a hand trap. This alone is enough to prove the deep bond between him and the Treasure Beasts.
Anyway, if you were to directly translate the character decks into reality, this Treasure Beast deck might not be much better than Judai's Elemental Heroes.
"In an instant, four Treasure Beasts are already on the field," Gui Ping said, "John Anderson's mastery of the Treasure Beast deck is truly remarkable."
"Of course."
Send this card to the Graveyard to activate it. Based on the number of 'Jewel Tokens' on this card, place a 'Treasure Beast' monster as a Continuous Spell Card in your Spell & Trap Zone!"

This time, a blue and a yellow jewel each with the silhouettes of an eagle and a tiger flashed in the background, but they quickly dissipated, turning into two Treasure Jewels that quietly rested behind John.
John scratched his head awkwardly.
The mammoth let out a loud roar, and its war stomp during the charge caused the ground to shake and dust to fly. Its long trunk whipped around, flipping over a face-down card on You Xuan's field, revealing the monster hidden beneath.
"Wait, I thought Ritual Monsters needed to spin the card or check its orientation to determine their effects when summoned? Why doesn't You Xuan's Ritual Monster have a card on its head?"
"If a face-down card is attacked and flipped by the opponent, it's neither considered a Summon, Special Summon, or Flip Summon."
This was the first time he learned that Ritual Monsters had such a unique feature.
Bercas, the father of Duel Monsters, patiently explained, "Because Ritual Monsters only need to spin the card to determine their orientation when they are successfully Summoned, Special Summoned, or Flip Summoned."
"And because this turn, 'Treasure Beast - Emerald Turtle' and 'Treasure Beast - Ruby Beast' were placed in the Spell & Trap Zone, that's two Treasure Beasts in total."
"Treasure Beast - Amber Tiger!"
Bercas crossed his arms and smiled approvingly.
After showing the card, he sent the Spell Card to the Graveyard. The bizarre tree on the field bloomed with dazzling red light, enveloping the entire tree as if it were being devoured, and it dissipated into a point of light.
"The follow-up effect of Continuous Spell, 'Treasure Tree'."
The bamboo withstood the impact and bent backward, but it quickly rebounded with resilience, knocking the mammoth off balance and causing it to stumble backward.
On the dark branches of the Treasure Tree, two crystal lights glowed, like blooming flowers, and two Treasure Crystals formed.
Go! Treasure Beast Amber Mammoth, attack the face-down monster!"
Bercas' mouth curled up slightly, "Interesting. John Boy also has his own agenda in this duel."
"So it's a battle-invincible monster. Even if I summon more monsters, it wouldn't make a difference." John said, "Then my Battle Phase is over."
John drew from his deck and searched once more.
Gui Ping suddenly realized and looked at the colorful jewels and monsters on John's field.
"So that's how it is!"
"Huh?" Gui Ping looked on in confusion.
The Fool cannot be destroyed in battle."
"In just one turn, six out of the seven Treasure Beasts have been gathered." You Xuan nodded in approval, "Powerful offense, countering traps, and maintaining such high efficiency. Impressive."
He then drew two monster cards, revealed them, and placed them in the Magic & Trap Zone of the Duel Disk.
"And with the failure of Super Gravity Net, the attack lock is also gone." John chuckled, "Sorry, Mr. You Xuan, but I'm going all out now.
Gui Ping was taken aback by The Fool and subconsciously looked up at its head, only to find it empty, which surprised him greatly.
[Jade Tree, Jewel Token 0 → 2]
"If you say so, I'll be proud."
"I see." Gui Ping understood.

[Ritual Power 0-Fool, Defense Power 0]
Therefore, the Continuous Spell 'Jade Tree' gains two Jewel Tokens!"
"A decent response, but it's a pity." You Xuan smiled slightly and said, "The monster I set is 'Ritual Power 0-Fool'."
He pulled out the Magic Card from the Spell & Trap Zone behind his Duel Disk, held it in his hand, and revealed it.
"Ahaha, just kidding."
But my turn isn't over yet."
"Come forth! Treasure Beast Cobalt Eagle!
"According to our speculation about the summoning conditions so far, the legendary Ultimate Treasure God will only appear when all seven Treasure Beasts are gathered. So, for Rainbow Dragon to show up, all seven Treasure Beasts are probably necessary."
"When Jade Tree is sent to the Graveyard, it will have two Jewel Tokens on it. So, I'll choose two more Treasure Beasts from my deck to place in the Continuous Spell Zone behind me."
"The bond between John Boy and his monsters is truly rare in this world."
A strange-looking monster with Medusa-like, tentacle-like hair stared at a seemingly frail figure. But despite its thin and weak appearance, it firmly withstood the mammoth's charge, like an elephant charging into a resilient bamboo grove.
In other words, at this moment, The Fool, which had been flipped face-down by John's attack, had neither a face-up effect nor a face-down effect. It only possessed the ability to not be destroyed in battle, making it an invincible shield.
"That's why he's been so relentless, managing to gather so many Treasure Beasts in the first turn. Impressive."
John rubbed his nose and laughed.
"Good, with this, we've basically gathered them all. Rainbow Dragon is my lifelong dream.
In this duel, I will definitely make Rainbow Dragon awaken!"
