"Hmph, the Suns are nothing special. A team like that doesn't need Uncle You Feng on the court!"

Long Ya inserted the card he had just drawn into the duel disk. Not wanting to waste high-speed counting points, he pointed at Ah Shen and said with a grin, "Next round, I will make you leave the stage. Make the most of your last round!"

"My turn is over!"

"Huh! I finally made it through another turn! Great, success or failure depends on this! My deck, answer my call and draw a card!" (Turn 18!)

【High-speed counting point Ashin 3】

【High-speed counting point Longya 11】

There is only one round left before the sleeping giant Gudong can be summoned. In this situation, for Ash, who is a cannon fodder, his own victory or defeat is obviously no longer important.

He closed his eyes and drew a card from the deck. When Ash saw the pattern on the card clearly, he couldn't help but feel his eyes suddenly light up.

"Here it comes! It's finally here! Great! There's only one round left, I absolutely cannot leave too many hidden dangers for Taro!"

The decision was made in just a moment, and Ash raised his hand and slapped the card he had just drawn onto the duel disk.

"First, I'm going to activate the SP High Speed Spell—High Speed Collision!"

"This card's effect is: If you have two or more Speed Counters, you can select one card you control and another card on the field of either player, and destroy the two selected cards."

"Using this effect, I will collide with myself and the monster card Transformation Fighter? Illuminator on your front field at high speed, destroying them together!"

Because the High-Speed Spell - High-Speed Collision does not have any effect regulations other than this card, the fact that it can be used at the cost of self-destruction can be said to be the biggest loophole in the original anime card.

Whizzing!

Two bolts of lightning shot out from the high-speed spell, and with a sound like firecrackers, the transformed fighter's lighting in Long Ya's front field was smashed into pieces on the spot.

"cut!"

Licking his lips slightly, Long Ya sneered and said, "Although I know this will happen, don't forget that I still have the Temptation of the Undead in my backfield. Because there are cards entering the graveyard, you have to pay the life points with me!"

Longya LP1000＞700

Ash LP400＞100

"Haha, very good, that's good. Taro, I'll leave the rest to you!"

The victory he had been longing for was right in front of him. For Ash, all he had to do was to leave Taro a relatively clean situation as much as possible.

"It's not over yet. At this moment, I'm going to open my backfield cover card, activate the trap card, and destroy the wheel!"

Long Ya: “!!!”

"Nani?"

Seeing Ash opening the last cover card with a look of astonishment, Long Ya instantly understood that the guy in front of him had actually planned to exchange his life with his.

"Ryūya, you should be familiar with the effects of this card. Now, I'm going to target Drill Barnacle with my effect! However, my attack isn't over yet. After this, I'm going to chain in my SP High-Speed Spell—Gap Storm!"

"This card's effect is: if your number of Speed Counters is different from your opponent's, and your opponent has 7 or more Speed Counters, you can activate it and destroy Spell and Trap Cards on the field."

One of the rules of the WRPG High-Speed Duel Tournament is that when there are subsequent players on each team, all cards can be settled normally after activation even if the life points return to zero.

(Note: This inference comes from the scene of the Disaster Team in the original anime.)

Ash cleverly utilized the current duel rules and was willing to be a cannon fodder, which could be said to be entrusting everything to his teammates.

"Long Ya, leave with me!!!"

"Damn it! Kuono~Longya...Ah!!!"

Boom!

The black hurricane instantly enveloped Long Ya and Ash. Along with the explosion of the destruction wheel, the D-wheel vehicles driven by Long Ya and Ash, whose health points were reduced to zero at the same time, triggered the high-speed protection mechanism at the same time.

Ash LP100＞0

Longya LP700＞0

"The Suns' Ash executed a brilliant counterattack, and in the resulting explosion, Long Ya was successfully taken down! Unfortunately, compared to the Pioneers, the Suns only had one player left. The subsequent duel was practically on the brink of collapse!"

Finally, a scene appeared that could ease the atmosphere. Hiroshi Tsuda, who had been almost unable to control the situation in the main venue, quickly used his words to successfully divert the audience's conflicts.

While Hiroshi Tsuda was commentating, Ryuya and Ash also returned to the main venue's maintenance station one after another.

"Damn it, these bastards from the Suns team, do they even want a duel?" Cursing, Long Ya handed his armband to Li Youfeng and looked at the Suns team with an extremely indignant look, "Humph, they actually used such a shameless tactic. I can definitely take on three of them alone!"

"Oh? One against three, you're the only one?" Helping Long Ya catch his helmet, Long Ke sneered disdainfully. "It's already the 19th round, Long Ya, are you sure you can defeat the sleeping giant Gudong?"

"Huh? What did you say? Sleeping Giant Gudong? 19 rounds? Hiss!!!"

Because of Long Ke's reminder, Long Ya took a breath and his face turned ashen in an instant.

"I~I understand. They're stalling for time on purpose just to summon the sleeping giant, Gudong! No, no, Uncle You Feng, I... I..."

After knowing the Suns' trump card, Long Ya knew very well what a stupid thing he had done. His heart was filled with regret and self-blame, especially when he looked at Li Youfeng. His eyes were filled with not only guilt but also deep fear.

However, Li Youfeng seemed to be aware of Long Ya's worry. He smiled easily and said comfortingly, "Haha, the most important thing about a duel is to have fun. Long Ya, there's no need to be so nervous!"

Knowing exactly what Long Ya was afraid of, Li Youfeng patted Long Ya's head as if nothing had happened and continued, "Long Ya, you've done very well. I'm really happy to see you continue to grow in the duel competition. So, don't worry, just leave it to me!"

After saying that, Li Youfeng slowly put the relay armband on his left arm. Then, he picked up the safety helmet on the table and put it on his head steadily.

After everything was ready, Li Youfeng jumped lightly into the driver's seat of "Dulahan Knight No. 3".

"Don't worry, Long Ya and Long Ke, just open your eyes and watch how I break this situation!"

Li Youfeng's voice was full of confidence and determination. After he finished speaking, he lightly stepped on the accelerator, and "Dulahan Knight No. 3" was like an awakened terrifying beast, roaring and rushing out of the maintenance station with an invincible momentum.

"Uncle Youfeng, can you really defeat the sleeping giant Gudong? That is a monster comparable to the three mythical gods!" Long Ya widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, staring at Li Youfeng's back, and his worries became more and more intense.

"Hmph, what a joke! Who is Uncle You Feng? He is the strongest Duel King who can even defeat the Ultimate God of Darkness!" Long Ke's face was filled with confidence, as if he wanted to dispel all doubts!

As he spoke, Long Ke slapped Long Ya hard on the head with such force that Long Ya couldn't help but cry out "Ouch".

"Besides, it's just a sleeping giant. What's there to worry about?"

Having said that, Long Ke frowned and looked at Long Ya with anger on his face.

"Long Ya, before you worry about Uncle You Feng, what you need to do now is to reflect on your mistakes. After the game, remember to write a 5,000-word self-reflection. Do you understand?!"

“Eh~!? Oh~ I get it~!”

Long Ya was a little dazed by the sudden slap. Facing Long Ke who had already used the "death stare", Long Ya could only cover his head with grievance and nodded to Long Ke in a flattering manner.

"Haha, I didn't expect that our tactics would be carried out so smoothly! This is all thanks to that kid named Long Ya!" Ji Zang laughed excitedly, his face full of a smug smile, as if he was confident of winning this game.

Ash, who was standing by, also showed a delighted expression. He patted Taro on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Taro, this is the final round. It all depends on you from now on! You must win this match!"

Taro felt the encouragement from his teammates. He took a deep breath and replied firmly, "Ah, I will never let your efforts go to waste!"

Glancing at the deck in his hand, Taro was absolutely confident in the "invincible" card, the Sleeping Giant Gudong!

After all, the situation on the field is already very favorable to Taro.

With just one more turn, he can Special Summon the Sleeping Giant Gudong, which is undoubtedly an excellent start.

In previous games, the Suns could take over the entire game as long as they could summon this monster. Therefore, facing such a great situation, Taro was full of confidence. He believed that he would be able to defeat his opponent and win the game.

"The ticket to the semi-finals can only belong to our Suns team. Ash, Ji Zang, I'm leaving!"

"Oh! Come on! It's all thanks to you!"

"Taro, give me revenge from now on!"

With the encouragement of his teammates, Taro confidently drove the D-wheel car out of the maintenance station and rushed onto the ring road expressway almost at the same time as Li Youfeng. For Taro, the Suns' counterattack was about to officially begin.

"The last member of the Sun Team, player Taro, has already set off, and his opponent is the captain of the Pioneer Team, player Li Youfeng!"

Having defeated Dragan of Team Ragnarok in the previous exhibition match, Hiroshi Tsuda was actually looking forward to Li Youfeng's performance.

At the same time, Youxing and others sitting in the audience had already understood the Suns' next tactical intentions.

Yusei said with a smile, "The Suns are deliberately stalling for more rounds. Their goal must be to summon the sleeping giant Gudong!"

Jack, standing by, seemed a little anxious. He couldn't help but complain, "Long Ya, that idiot, actually left his opponent with so many rounds. Mr. You Feng is in big trouble now!"

However, Gui Liu let out a sinister laugh. He sneered, "Hey, isn't this perfect? If the Pioneers can be eliminated by the Suns, wouldn't that be the ideal outcome for us?"

After hearing Gui Liu's words, Kro immediately retorted, "Bah, Gui Liu, what nonsense are you talking about, you idiot? Let me tell you, I still say the same thing, the BOSS team is not someone who can be easily provoked. Anyone who encounters them will definitely die! You know, that person is the strongest, first-generation undefeated duel king!"

Yusei and Jack crossed their arms and nodded in agreement: "Yeah, Kuro is right, that's exactly it!"

(Ghost Willow: "Aren't you three too cowardly?")

High-speed track...

"The captain of the Pioneer team, Li Youfeng, I didn't expect that my opponent would be him?!" When rushing onto the high-speed ring track, Taro also saw Li Youfeng who was about to duel with him. Recalling the newspaper he read yesterday, he couldn't help but have a layer of fine sweat beads on his forehead again.

"Although Li Youfeng is a duelist capable of crushing Team Ragnarok's Dragan, my sleeping giant Gudong is no ordinary monster. In this duel, I must defeat this strongest enemy!"

"Come on, Taro! Yoshizo and Ashikaga have perfectly preserved the spark of victory. You must not let them down in this duel!"

Just when Taro was secretly cheering himself up in his heart, unlike the former who was nervous, Li Youfeng just gave him a "meaningful" smile.

"Duel!" X2

Li Youfeng LP4000

Taro LP4000

With the duel system of the D-wheel car officially connected, the duel between the Sun Team and the Pioneer Team started again. Because Ash had previously self-destructed in his own turn and dragged Long Ya into the water, the initiative of this round was determined to be in the hands of Li Youfeng.

"My turn, draw a card!" (19th turn)

【High-speed counting point Taro 4】

【High-speed counting point Li Youfeng 12】

"SP High Speed Spell - High Speed Card Draw effect activated!"

"The effect of this card is that it can only be activated when my High Speed Counter has 12 points. I can draw 2 cards."

After taking a look at his hand, Li Youfeng inserted the cards in his hand into the duel disk one by one.

"First, I'm going to Normal Summon this monster in face-down Defense Position!"

"After this, I cover three cards on my backfield, and the turn ends!"

Youxing and others: “!!!”

Long Ya & Long Ke: “!!!”

Kaiba Seto: "Humph, this despicable villain actually uses such a dirty tactic again!"

Unlike Seto Kaiba who knew Li Youfeng very well, Youxing and others all showed an expression of disbelief when they saw that Li Youfeng ended his turn so easily.
