Chapter 845: True Self
Chapter 845: True Self
"Duel King"
Amun's expression turned cold instantly.
It was said that Duel Academy was the forbidden land of the King, and while he initially thought it might be an exaggeration, it now seemed like it wasn't an overstatement after all.
He had just arrived on the island as a legitimate exchange student, not an illegal immigrant.
Despite this, he had barely approached the area of the abandoned dormitory when he was immediately caught.
However, You Xuan's appearance also confirmed the rumors.
Amun pushed up his glasses and whispered, "So, it's true, isn't it?"
"Hmm?" You Xuan raised his eyebrows.
"The rumors about the power of the Duel King," Amun said, "This abandoned dormitory connects to a world with a terrifying dark power.
The King obtained unparalleled strength from that world, and the center of that power is right here in the heart of this island, within this very dormitory."
You Xuan: "?"
This time, You Xuan was a little stunned.
So this is what everyone outside thinks of me?
What's all this about?
It was true that this dormitory held a secret, but in reality, beneath it was the ancient alchemy laboratory of Great Temple. Inside were the accumulated results of Great Temple's years of research, including some forbidden alchemy techniques, dark powers, and card creation secrets.
Of course, they had all been willingly given to the student You Xuan by Great Temple.
You Xuan rubbed his temples, "These days, even rumors are spreading so wildly."
"Do you want to deny it?" Amun frowned.
"Haha, I didn't mean that." You Xuan smiled, "Well, even if I say anything, you might not believe me. So, you believe what you want."
At this moment, the Ghostly Eye beside him muttered, "Actually, I find this explanation quite convincing.
Not only are you incredibly powerful, but you also resemble an evil god from another realm."
You Xuan glared at it, and it immediately stopped talking.
"So, this is what you came here to investigate, young master of the Galam family." You Xuan looked at Amun with a playful gaze.
Amun clenched his teeth, "The scene you just showed me... How do you know about these things?"
You Xuan extended a finger and waved it.
"No, no, it's not that I showed you, but that you showed me. What appeared just now was your inner self, the most persistent image in your mind."
"What do you mean?" Amun's grip on his teeth tightened.
The most persistent image in my mind?
No, that's impossible.
I had already let go of the past. Shade is my most important little brother, and I have never...
"Is that so?"
You Xuan smiled and raised his Duel Disk.
Amun understood, "So, it's still a duel, isn't it?"
"Yes," You Xuan nodded, "They say that dueling is the most important way for duelists to connect. I believe I have some understanding in this area, and perhaps through dueling, I can help you better face your true self."
After a pause, he smiled mysteriously.
"Or is the young master of the Galam family afraid to face these things?"
Afraid to face my true self?
A cold light flashed across Amun's glasses.
What a joke.
"Well, I've been wanting to witness the power of the Duel King anyway."
Yes, King, a title that inspires awe and superiority.
Deep down, Amun truly believed that this title belonged to him.
He had absolute confidence in his abilities, and indeed, Amun's performance in the GX anime was remarkable. Defeating Manjoume, obtaining the legendary forbidden power of the Dark Magician, defeating Aid Phoenix, and even the undefeated Yubel in the original series nearly lost to him once.
If a ranking of all GX characters' strengths were made, Amun Galam would undoubtedly be among the top few.
Amun activated his Duel Disk.
"Duel!" x2
[You Xuan, LP 4000]

"I'll go first, and draw a card!"
Amun gained the first turn.
However, instead of rushing to make a move, he carefully observed You Xuan.
The legendary Duel King... But he didn't exude any air of dominance. There was no sense of threat from this person, and he looked rather lackadaisical, with a nonchalant aura.
Is this guy really a King? Or is he hiding something?
Although Amun believed he wasn't afraid of any opponent, he still couldn't afford to be careless against this guy.
"I activate the magic card 'Cloud Treasure,'" Amun said, "During the turn Cloud Treasure is activated, if two or more monsters with the same name are summoned, you can draw two cards from your deck during the End Phase." (Original effect)
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
As expected, Amun's current deck should be the Cloud Beast deck.
In the later part of the anime, in a different world, after obtaining the taboo power, Amun started using the Exodia the Forbidden One deck. He was the only character in the anime world, aside from Atem and Grandpa, who could wield the authentic Exodia deck.
However, the Cloud Treasure's effect in the real card game is different. It can only be activated when there are no monsters on your field, and you can only Special Summon once per turn. But in the real card game, not only can you Special Summon from your hand, but also from the graveyard. However, if you Special Summon from the graveyard, the magic card must be destroyed afterward.
In the anime, there was no such restriction. As long as you had Cloud Beasts in your hand, you could Special Summon as many as you wanted in one turn.
"Then, I'll Set a card."
Amun said.
"End Phase, the effect of Cloud Treasure activates." Amun continued, "Since I summoned monsters with the same name this turn, I draw two cards from my deck!"
Amun drew two cards.
"My turn is over!"
You Xuan: "My turn, I draw."
You Xuan drew a card and smiled lightly after checking his hand.
Then, he muttered to himself.
"Since you're so eager to get on the field, I'll give you a chance today. Don't let me down."
He raised his eyes and said.
"When the number of Spell and Trap Cards on the opponent's field is greater than the number on your field, this card can be Special Summoned directly from your hand.
Special Summon 'Psychic Electron Giant'!"
[Psychic Electron Giant, ATK 2200]
"Then, I'll use the Psychic Electron Giant as a Tribute for an Xyz Summon—"
You Xuan raised the monster card in his hand.
"Psychic Overlord, the Trap Crusher—"
"—Android-Psychic Intimidator, come forth!"
