[Martial Arts Master Mengde], Attribute: Dark, Link 5, Effect/Link Monster, Warrior, Arrow ←↙↓↘→, Attack Power: 3200.

“I usually summon [Master].

"Advance to Battle Rank! [Meng De] Attack [Great Wall Golden Roc]!"

Gu Jun glanced at his face-up card, hesitated for a moment, but still didn't open it.

"At this moment, I activate the effect of [Mengde], liberating a [Martial Arts] monster on the field and negating one Battle Destruction."

"I activate another effect of [Mengde] once per turn: when this monster attacks a monster with higher ATK than this monster, the damage taken in that battle is reduced to 0."

"I activate the effect of [Mengde] once per turn. If this monster's attack neither damages the opponent nor destroys the opponent's monster, I gain control of that monster until the end of the turn. That monster cannot attack this turn."

Gu Jun opened his face-down card: "I opened my face-down card—Trap Card [Divine Judgment], pay half of my Life Points, negate the effect [Meng De] just activated!"

"What?!" Shu Yu hadn't expected this.

She originally thought that Gu Jun had set up a card to defend against attacks, but it turned out to be a counter! And it didn't counter when she was about to deploy, but waited until the crucial moment to counter!

It's like saying, "Your setup is brilliant, but it's not very effective."

Shu Yu thought carefully for a moment, realizing she didn't have much of a chance. She removed all the cards from the Duel Disk and said, word by word:

"I surrender!"

"Well done, Gu Jun! You've won it back for us!" the Class 12 cheered!

Gu Jun glanced back at the jubilant crowd, then at You Qiu, who remained expressionless, and thought to himself:

"Sister Youqiu, if you already have friends like this, is it still necessary to go back?"
