Yu-Gi-Oh!: Ultimate Duelist

"Oh, I didn't expect that I would attack first? In that case, I won't be polite."

The speaker was a burly man, his firm eyes revealing full confidence and determination.

He skillfully drew a card, his gaze swiftly scanning it before he said in a deep voice, "In Attack Position, summon [Vampire Flea] (ATK 1500/DEF 1200), then cover two cards. End turn."

Ji Changming, who was standing opposite, had a calm expression, his eyes fixed on the changes in the situation on the field.

Ji Changming quickly drew his own card and decisively declared, "My turn, draw a card. Summon [Man with the Divine Eye] in Attack Position (ATK 1600/DEF 1600)."

However, just as Ji Changming finished summoning, the burly man immediately said, "Activate the Trap Card [Pitfall]. Its effect is: When your opponent summons a monster with 1000 or more ATK, destroy that monster when you Flip Summon it. So, destroy the monster [Man with the Divine Eye] on your field."

In an instant, a mysterious black hole that seemed bottomless appeared under Ji Changming's monster [The Man with the Dharma Eye]. The monster was ruthlessly sucked into it and then disappeared without a trace.

This scene immediately sparked heated discussions among the audience, with voices rising one after another.

"What a powerful effect! It actually destroyed the monster directly."

"This trap card is simply impossible to defend against."

"Why don't you save such a powerful Trap Card for other more powerful monsters, and use it on this card instead?"

"[The Man with the Divine Eye] isn't weak either, his attack power is a whopping 1600."

"I know, I know. Because the effect of [Man with the Divine Eye] can see the covered cards on the opponent's field, he had to destroy this monster card."

"I see. Both sides are not simple."

After destroying Ji Changming's monster, the burly man looked at Ji Changming provocatively, with a slight smile on his face, and said, "Hey, so what? You can't summon any monsters this round, right?"

Ji Changming frowned slightly, but soon returned to normal and said calmly: "That's not necessarily true."

Ji Changming's gaze fell on a monster in his hand - [Trickster]. This card's effect is: Discard a card from your hand, and Special Summon this card from your hand.

Ji Changming casually threw a card away and continued, "I Special Summon [Trickster] (ATK 2000/DEF 1200) in Attack Position."

Seeing that Ji Changming had actually specially summoned a five-star monster, the audience immediately looked sideways, their surprise was beyond words.

"I didn't expect that such a high-star monster could be summoned directly from my hands."

"I thought Ji Changming was doomed this time, but I didn't expect him to be able to summon a monster with an attack power of 2000 with ease."

"The other party is not simple either. He should have some backup plan."

"I think the next situation will definitely be Ji Changming's one-sided slaughter. After all, the opponent no longer has the opportunity to summon high-star monsters."

"It's hard to say. After all, the opponent still has a cover card on the field."

Immediately afterwards, Ji Changming launched an attack directly, using [Trickster] (Attack 2000/Defense 1200) to attack [Bloodsucking Flea] (1500/Defense 1200).

With the fierce collision, the [Blood-sucking Fleas] were instantly destroyed, and the burly man's health dropped to 3500.

Seeing this, Ji Changming muttered to himself in confusion: "Oh, I didn't expect that even after all this, they still haven't activated the cover card? Is this just a trick or..."

Then he ended his turn.

The burly man drew a card and said, "Summon a monster in face-down Defense Position. End your turn."

This behavior immediately caused boos from the audience.

"What the hell! With this kind of strength, you dare to challenge Ji Changming."

"I don't even feel like there's any point in watching any further. I know with my eyes closed that this is going to be a solo kill."

"Maybe I didn't draw a powerful card..." Before he could finish his words, they were drowned out by the voices of more people.

Ji Changming drew a card and said without hesitation, "Summon [Experienced Black Magician] (ATK 1900/DEF 1700) in Attack Position, then use [Experienced Black Magician] to attack the face-down Defense Position monster on your field."

Soon, the monster in face-down defense position on the opponent's field showed face-up defense position - [Dragonfly] (ATK 1400/DEF 900).

As the opponent's monster was destroyed, the burly man said, "Activate the effect of this monster sent to the Graveyard on my field: When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon 1 WIND monster with 1500 or less ATK from your Deck to your field in face-up Attack Position. Then, reshuffle your deck."

"I Special Summon [Dragonfly] (ATK 1400/DEF 900) in Attack Position."

Ji Changming said: "The [Trickster] on my field continues to attack."

As the [Dragonfly] was destroyed by the [Trickster], the burly man's health dropped to 2900.

At this time, the burly man said, "I activate the effect of [Dragonfly] and Special Summon [Ultra Insect LV3] (ATK 1400/DEF 900) from the Deck in Attack Position."

The audience at the scene saw that the burly man's monster was destroyed again and again, and its health points kept decreasing, and they all complained in dissatisfaction.

"Just give up. You keep summoning weak monsters to be beaten, but in the end your health will be completely worn down."

"What's the point of constantly summoning the same monster?"

"You can only have three of the same card in a deck. Once you use up all three, I'll see how you can summon monsters."

"I have a different opinion." A gentle young man wearing glasses stood up, pushed his glasses, and said, "He's probably preparing to summon his high-star monsters. You see, he always has a monster on the field. So next turn, he can use this monster as a sacrifice to summon a monster with a level of five stars or higher."

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately aroused the agreement and recognition of the audience.

"Now that you put it that way, it seems to be true."

"Ji Changming's strongest monster right now is the five-star [Trickster]. If he summons a stronger monster, wouldn't that mean a comeback?"

"But that's not certain. What if he doesn't draw a high-star monster?"

At this time, everyone discovered that the burly man did not continue to summon the same monster, but instead summoned a monster called [Ultimate Insect LV3], which immediately aroused everyone's curiosity.
