Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1458 The Demon's Duel

You Xuan has many accolades and a plethora of titles and honors. However, this seems to be the first time someone has referred to him as a duel champion.

"Yeah, I've never seen a duel like this before!" Yuma exclaimed. "Was that Xyz Super Dragon just now the legendary Red-Eyes Black Dragon? So cool!"

"And the infinite loop thing is so cool! I was just thinking that with an indestructible Mecha Angel on the opponent's field, the battle would have to be decided in the next turn. I didn't expect you to wipe out over four thousand HP in the blink of an eye, that's amazing."

Yuma seemed to still be immersed in the shock of the duel, ignoring Yugen's reaction and continuing to talk on and on.

Looking at him, Youxuan suddenly had a strange feeling, as if he were looking at a miniature version of Judai from three years ago.

Come to think of it, Judai isn't on the island today either. He went to Kaiba Corporation with Yugen a couple of days ago, and afterwards they parted ways, planning to visit Mr. Hibiki Kouyou. He's expected to be back later today.

Otherwise, Jaden and Yuma would probably get along very well.

"By the way, Mr. Youxuan, if you put it that way, I actually have a presumptuous request to make," Youma said.

The astral figure floating to the side said, "Yuma, you wouldn't want to..."

“Of course, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! A living Duel Champion!” Yuma revealed his Duel Disk. “Duel with me!”

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.

The students around Yuma looked at him with even more interest. Some were curious, some were surprised, and some were admiring.
Of course, you have to admire them.

Having just witnessed the king's duel up close, he still couldn't wait to offer his head and take the beating. Not everyone has that kind of courage.

You Xuan also showed an expression of great interest.

Why not try it with Yuma Tsukumo? It's not impossible.

“Sure,” You Xuan readily agreed.

"Okay!"

The horse was excited.

However, Astral floated to the side with his arms crossed: "This person gives me a dangerous feeling, Yuma. I don't really recommend dueling him. But if you insist, I'll refrain from interfering in this duel for now."

"That was the plan all along," Yuma chuckled, rubbing his nose excitedly. "This is the best opportunity to learn from the champion! It would be pointless if we didn't come!"

You Xuan unfolded the duel disk.

Alright, then today's duel is with the cult leader.

Yu Xuan took the initiative without hesitation. Yu Xuan was very cool; he didn't summon any monsters and directly used three set items in the back row to pass the turn. His speed was so fast that Yu Ma thought he was the one who went first.

Next, it was Yuma's turn. Yuma drew a card, but before he could play a single card, the Yellow-Clad Demon began his evil plan.

First, the Yellow King has a strange quirk: "Duel must be about allocating resources to the opponent." Everyone saw that in the last game, the Yellow King gave the opponent a Red-Eyes Steel Flame Dragon. So, in this game, the Yellow King started with "Disruption Trio," stuffing three yellow, green, and black tokens onto the opponent's field.

Despite their long absence, the three derivative characters remained as professional as ever. They quickly occupied three spaces on the horse riding area, one reading a newspaper and the other drinking tea, and even politely greeted each other.

The disruptive trio: "Sorry to bother you!"

The honest child, You Ma, reflexively greeted him politely: "Oh? Oh, welcome!"

However, after the initial welcome, he immediately shook his head: "Wait, why are it the three of you again?!"

Although the opponent didn't use this trap during the previous duel with Manjoume, he summoned "Disruption King" to seal his three monster zones. The 3D projection animation also looked similar, with these three occupying his territory.

Yuma: "Could it be another monster zone seal?"

But the next moment he realized his own naiveté.

Sealing off the monster zone? That's already a beginner-level technique. What he's facing now is a much more advanced Yellow-Clad Lord.

"Activate the face-down card, the Continuous Trap 'Cosmic Contraction'!" The Yellow King bared his evil fangs. "As long as this card is on the field, neither player can play more than five cards in total!"

"No more than five?"

The people around them had begun to cast sympathetic glances, but the slow-witted Yuma was still completely oblivious, counting on his fingers.

"Well, if there are a maximum of five cards in total, then I'll play this card first."

The astral entity floating behind spoke up in a leisurely voice, trying to remind him: "Yuma."

However, Yuma was still engrossed in his calculations and ignored him: "No, it seems like it's better to play this card first. Or maybe setting this trap card first wouldn't be bad either."

Astral casually reminded him, "Don't think about it anymore, Yuma, you can't play any cards."

Yuma: "Huh?"

"There can be no more than five cards on the field in total, meaning that both players can have a maximum of five cards on the field combined," Astral said calmly. "Right now, your opponent has Cosmic Contraction on the field, which is a face-down card, and you have three Disruption tokens on the field, making a total of five cards."

Youma blinked twice.

"Then...me"

“Yes, you can no longer play cards,” Astral said calmly. “You can’t cast spells, set traps, or try to summon monsters.”

Yuma's mouth dropped open.

Na. Nai!?
The simple-minded boy from the multidimensional world was shocked.

This was more outrageous and excessive than any of the beatings he had just endured on this island.

You can't even play a card anymore?!
“That’s right!” Yuma said, “Then all I need to do is release the derivative as a higher-level summon.”

Yu Xuan kindly reminded him: "Disruption derivatives cannot be released by superior summons."

Yuma felt as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer in the heart.

However, the indomitable leader immediately came up with another good idea: "That's it! The three disruptive derivatives are of the same level, so I'll stack the disruptive derivatives and use them to Xyzrate."

The astral body reminded Yuma, a dueling idiot who couldn't even remember the basic rules, "Derivatives cannot be used as materials for Xyz Summoning, so this is also impossible."

Yuma: "."

But Yuma quickly realized he'd found a key point: "But if that's the case, he can't play any cards! This just maintains a stalemate; he can't beat me."

So Youxuan silently flipped over the last face-down card: "Continuous Trap 'Torture Wheel', equip one of your tokens on the field."

The equipped monster cannot attack, and the controller of the equipped monster takes 500 damage each turn.

Yuma: "."

And so the duel ended without any major incident.

Tsukumo Yuma began the duel.

Ninety-nine Yuma drew a card.

The 99th round of the horse race has ended.

Ninety-nine Yuma typed "GG".
