"Damn it! This guy is even tougher than the last one. But, I don't need Uncle You Feng to take action against opponents like you! It's my turn, draw a card!" (13th turn)

【High-speed counting point Ashin 6】

【High-speed counting point Longya 6】

"Huh? What is this card?"

Unexpectedly, he drew a key card at such a critical moment. Long Ya couldn't help laughing again.

"Haha, next, I want to see how long your turtle shell can last!"

"I Normal Summon Drill Barnacle in Attack Position!" (Attack 300, Defense 0)

With a grim smile, Long Ya summoned a marine monster covered with drill bits to his front court, and without any hesitation, he raised his hand and pointed at Ash.

"Fight!"

"The passive special effect of Drill Fujiya is that it can directly attack enemy players. In addition, when this monster causes health damage to players, it can increase its attack power by 1000 points!"

"Oops!!!"

Although the Hand-Holding Demon has an impedance effect when it is face-up on the field, this effect does not protect the player.

Therefore, Drill Fujitani, who can directly attack the player, can completely ignore the monsters in defense position in the front field.

The passive effect of this monster is almost a natural counter to the Hand-Handing Demon!

Bang!

"Goo!"

Just when Ash was shocked and at a loss, the drill barnacle had already passed through the hand-in-hand defense like a missile and hit him hard.

Ash LP2200＞1900

Although this attack only caused 300 points of combat damage, Ash knew very well in his mind that as the monster's attack power continued to increase, the combat damage he would suffer would become more and more severe.

"Drill Barnacle's special effect activates. When it deals combat damage to the player, this monster's attack power increases by 1000 points!"

Drill barnacle 300＞1300

"Haha, do you think you can sit back and relax just because you've built a turtle shell? How naive! Next, I want to see how many rounds you can last!"

"My turn is over!"

"Drill Barnacle~! Damn, why is this kid's deck full of such bizarre cards? It's my turn, draw a card!" (Turn 14)

【High-speed counting point Ashin 7】

【High-speed counting point Longya 7】

Swish!

A card was added to the deck, and when Ash saw the pattern on the card clearly, he couldn't help but smile in surprise.

"Haha, it's another high-speed spell! This card arrived just in time!"

Looking back at the smug Long Ya, Ash shouted directly: "Activate the special effect of the Field Magic Card High Speed World 2!"

"By removing four high-speed counter points, from now on, every high-speed spell in my hand can cause 800 points of damage to the opponent's card count x the number of cards!"

"Now, I have three high-speed spells in my hand, so I can deal 3 points of damage to you!"

【High-speed counting point Ashi 7→3】

Long Ya: “!!!”

The effect of the field magic card High Speed World 2 only requires paying high speed count points to activate. For Ash at this time, this is undoubtedly the best way to counterattack.

The golden lightning hit Long Ya directly like an arrow. Without immunity to effect damage, Long Ya was beaten and screamed in pain.

Longya LP3400＞1000

"You bastard, how dare you do this!" Long Ya was naturally very angry because his original advantage was wiped out in one wave.

"Yoshi! I'm going to end my turn just like that!"

Announcing the end of the round, he glanced at his high-speed count and mentally encouraged himself, "I can do it. As long as I can make it through the next round, I can defeat Long Ya! Taro, Ji Zang, watch carefully. This is the bond that belongs to our Sun Team!"

"It's my turn, draw a card!" (15th turn!)

【High-speed counting point Ashin 4】

【High-speed counting point Longya 8】

The initiative came to Long Ya's turn again. After drawing a card, Long Ya announced the entry into the battle phase without any pause.

"Drill Barnacle, attack the opposing player directly!"

"Wow~!!!"

Under Long Ya's command, the Drill Barnacle once again broke through the Hand-Handed Demon's defense and hit Ash like a bullet.

Unlike the previous 300 points of damage, the Drill Barnacle, with its increased attack power, has now transformed into a deadly assassin!

Ash LP1900＞600

"Hehehe! At this moment, the Drill Barnacle's attack power increases by another 1000 points!"

Drill Barnacle Attack Power 1300＞2300

After exiting the battle phase, Long Ya glanced at the high-speed counter on the D-wheel car, raised his hand and slapped a monster card on the duel disk.

"I Normal Summon, Transformer Gladiator, in Attack Position!" (Attack 200, Defense 200)

"Okay, my turn is over!"

Without proactively explaining the special effects of the Transformer Fighter Light, Long Ya pretended to be indifferent and ended his turn.

"Great, my turn, draw a card!" (Turn 16)

【High-speed counting point Ashin 5】

【High-speed counting point Longya 9】

Ash couldn't wait to start his turn, and with a wave of his hand, he activated the special effect of the field magic card High Speed World 2 again.

"By removing four high-speed counter points, from now on, every high-speed spell in my hand can cause 800 points of damage to the opponent's card count x the number of cards!"

"Now, I will continue to show the three high-speed spells in my hand, and then cause 2400 points of effect damage to you!"

【High-speed counting point Ashi 5→1】

Click!

Golden lightning appeared again and began to condense in front of Ash's D-wheel car. Seeing that he was about to receive the damage, Long Ya suddenly grinned.

"Haha, idiot, this is exactly what I've been waiting for!"

Laughing loudly and pointing to his front field, Long Ya said loudly: "At this moment, the monster effect of Transformer Fighter? Light is activated!"

"While this monster is in Attack Position on my side of the field, the opponent's card effects will take any damage they inflict on me!"

"Idiot, let me reap what I sow!"

Ash: “!!!”

Yes!

The Field Magic Card High Speed World 2 is also a card, so when the Field Magic Card effect is activated, it will be regarded as effect damage!

Seeing that the lightning he shot out was bounced back by the effect of the Transformer Fighter's lighting, Ash was terrified and hurriedly opened a cover card in his backfield.

"Trap card activated, energy absorption plate!"

As he opened the face-up card and sent a card from his hand to the graveyard, Ash gritted his teeth and said, "The effect of this card is that when your opponent activates a magic, trap, or monster effect that deals damage, you can negate the damage and restore an equal number of life points."

In order to survive, Ash could only activate the life-saving card that had been covered in advance. As the lightning was absorbed by a black stone slab, the continuous trap card on Longya's backfield also began to activate its original effect.

Although Ash suffered 300 points of damage from the continuous trap card Temptation of the Dead because the trap card entered the graveyard, it is certain that Ash's life was saved.

Ashi LP600＞3000＞2700

"Tsk! They even covered the backfield with cards like this?"

The fatal blow did not cause any effective damage to Ash, and Long Ya couldn't help but secretly admire his opponent's tenacity.

"so close!"

Because he was almost finished because he didn't know the effect of the opponent's monster, Ash looked at Long Ya's front field with an increasingly unfriendly look.

"We can't leave that monster on the field any longer!"

Although he understood the special effects of the Transformer Light, Ash had no idea how to deal with this monster.

Glancing calmly at the last card he had covered in his backfield, Ash thought to himself, "The last card I covered in my backfield was a Trap Card, Destruction Wheel. I had originally intended to destroy Long Ya along with him, but unfortunately, due to the effect of Transformer Fighter Light, this card no longer has the conditions to activate!"

"Next time I draw a card, if I can't draw a card that can break this situation, I'm completely finished!"

Sweat was already dripping down his forehead from excessive nervousness. After gritting his teeth, Ash said loudly, "I'm going to end my turn just like that!"

"What on earth do these guys from the Suns want to do?"

"How can there be such a boring duel? It's simply unbearable to watch!"

"What's the point of playing defense all the time? If those Suns bastards don't want to fight, just give up!"

"How did this bunch of trash make it to the qualifiers? This is disgusting!"

There was no surprise. Because of the Sun Team's Kame-style strategy, the audience had already booed. Seeing the audience start to condemn them, Taro and Yoshizo, who stayed in their own maintenance station under tremendous pressure, both swallowed hard.

"Strange!" Unlike the furious spectators, Long Ke, who was watching the live broadcast of the race with Li Youfeng in the Pioneer team's pit, was quite perceptive and noticed something wrong. "These three guys from the Suns don't look like they're going to give up the duel. And judging by their expressions, it's obvious they're plotting something."

"Haha, they are actually delaying time on purpose!"

Without any intention of hiding the information, Li Youfeng showed a card to Long Ke with a smile.

"The conditions for summoning a monster are: if a Level 1 Normal monster remains face-up on your side of the field for 10 or more turns (including the turn it was summoned), you can Special Summon it by Tributing that monster."

"And this monster card is, the Sleeping Giant Gudong!"

Long Ke: “!!!”

"No! Not good!"

As a dueling genius, Long Ke naturally knew about this card that had become very popular!

Yes!

Unlike the effects of OCG cards, the original anime's Gudong does not need to be revealed from the hand and increases the count points of the one-star monsters in the front field!

This effect adds certain hidden attributes to Gudong's summoning.

Although the effect of the monster is quite powerful, in fact, the Sleeping Giant Gudong is actually a common card in this era. Due to its extremely complicated summoning conditions, no one uses this card in duels. As a result, everyone subconsciously ignores the existence of this monster card.

Of course, this is just the apparent summoning condition for monsters. In the original Yu-Gi-Oh! 5DS anime, Hiro Tsuda once said that apart from the rather harsh summoning conditions, as a ten-star monster, the Sleeping Giant Gudong can be compared with the three mythical gods in terms of monster effects!

"Uncle Youfeng, so you already knew this?!" Looking at the nonchalant Li Youfeng with a look of horror, Long Ke said anxiously, "No, this monster is too troublesome. Damn it, that idiot Long Ya definitely doesn't know what's going on!"

Because of the rules of the game, the substitute players in the maintenance stations of both teams cannot directly contact the players on the field. In addition, this game uses a ring track, so even if Long Ke already knows the true intentions of the Suns, he still has no way to notify Long Ya who is in the game.

"Haha! No need to worry!" Li Youfeng smiled and touched Long Ke's little head, and said confidently, "I've said before, let Long Ya fight based on his own ideas as much as possible. Besides, I want to train Long Ya well in this duel competition! Don't worry, I'm here. He's just a sleeping giant and can't make much waves!"

"Uncle You Feng... so handsome~!" Many sparkling little stars appeared in her beautiful eyes because of Li You Feng's words. While Long Ke's face turned slightly red, she admired the former even more.

By the way, is this the calmness of being the first undefeated Duel King?

According to rumors, even the second generation Duel King Judai Yucheng once said in public that he was no match for his "Master". So, as the strongest Duel King in the history of Duel Monsters, how could Li Youfeng care about a mere sleeping giant?

Isn't this a joke?

"Hmph, this turn, I'm going to show you what I can do. It's my turn, draw a card!" (17th turn)

【High-speed counting point Ashin 2】

【High-speed counting point Longya 10】

"Hehe, let's see how you can hide now!"

"Drill Barnacle, attack the opposing player directly!"

Buzz!

The sharp drill bit began to spin rapidly again, and the drill barnacles shot directly towards Ash like a cannonball.

Bang!

"Guwaa ...

As expected, he was hit by the drill barnacle again, and the 2300 points of combat damage made Ash scream in pain.

Ash LP2700＞400

"Haha, at this moment, the Drill Barnacle's attack power increases by another 1000 points!"

Drill Barnacle Attack Power 2300＞3300

"Damn it! If this monster isn't dealt with quickly, it'll be a hidden danger for Taro!"

His health has reached a very dangerous level. Unfortunately, because the Transformer Light is present, Ash can only be in a passive situation and take the beating.
