Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1459 The Spirit of Duel
Yuma stared blankly at the large handful of cards in his hand, then looked at his LP, which had somehow gone to zero, his expression a little bewildered.

He glanced at the astral entity beside him: "Um... Starlight, was I just dueling someone?"

The astral body nodded: "It seems so."

Yuma was on the verge of tears: "But why don't I feel any of this reality at all?"

Astral Spectrum analyzed seriously: "It's probably because you didn't play a single card in this duel."

Yuma: "."

He was certain he had never experienced such a bizarre duel in his life. It wasn't a one-shot kill; in fact, it lasted quite a while, like being bitten by mosquitoes, one bite every round.
Yet, during this incredibly long process of torture, he couldn't play a single card. He couldn't summon monsters, couldn't activate magic, and couldn't cover up traps.
Yes, you can't even play a back row card. Because the universe's contraction limits the number of cards on the field to five, and that opponent's Fiend has taken up all five slots in his starting hand, leaving no room to play any cards.

Well, the fact that the opponent was burned to death from full health was a bit of a surprise to both Youxuan and his side.

He originally planned to lock down the entire field by the universe contraction, and then slowly burn away the opponent's health round by round. During this period, the opponent would have plenty of opportunities to unleash their power or cheat.

Yuma is, after all, a Yu-generation player with a naturally chubby lobster-like head, so his cheat-like abilities are bound to be top-notch. Although the current situation is a dead end for a normal person, with so many opportunities to cheat, it's not impossible for him to break through by simply drawing a lucky card.

As a result, the other side was indeed burned to death without any ripples, showing absolutely no trace of the spirit that a protagonist with the character "游" in his name should have.

You Xuan sized up You Ma for a moment.

"I see. There are no astral bodies."

He was now quite certain that the Astral Body had been AFK the entire time during the duel.

At this moment, the astral body slowly reminded Yuma from behind: "Actually, you had a chance just now."

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Yuma asked, annoyed. "The universe is shrinking, and we can't even play a single card. What chance do we have? This kind of card is too unfair!"

"No, there's no tactic that's absolutely impossible to overcome," Astral said, shaking his head. "Don't you have the magic card 'Monster Gate'?"

Yuma: "So what? Didn't I say we already have five cards on the field? Even if we have a spell card in hand, we can't use it."

"No, Monster Gate is a Spell Card that can only be activated by Tributing one monster on your field. Tributing is the cost of activating this card. By Tributing one Disruption Token on the field, space is freed up in the locked-down area, which can then be used to summon a monster to launch an attack."

After all, Yuugen's side hadn't actually revealed any forced attack or sealing methods. It was just that the field was blocked, preventing Yuma's side from summoning new monsters, and all the disruptive tokens had zero attack power, making them unable to attack.

If Yuma's side can summon a new monster with offensive capabilities first, even if it's just a low-level monster, the situation will immediately reverse. Because only Yuma's side has a monster on the field that can launch an attack, while Yugen's side has nothing on the field, then the one being sealed off by the cosmic contraction will become Yugen himself.

Yuma: "But derivatives aren't immune to being released."

"Disruption tokens 'cannot be released for Triple Summoning'," Astral continued, explaining. "Spell cards are excluded."

Yu Ma was startled: "There's a difference?"

Obviously, this kind of thing is too advanced for Yuma, who sometimes couldn't even figure out the attack and defense expressions of monsters in the early stages of the anime.

Astral shrugged: "That's it."

At this moment, You Xuan already understood.

So that's how it is. Yuma didn't die without drawing a single card that could break the deadlock. The leader's amazing drawing skills were still there; he was just too incompetent, not even realizing he had drawn a card that could turn the tide of the game. He had no idea he had drawn a card that could break the deadlock.
"Ugh, why didn't you remind me just now!" Yuma scratched his head in frustration. "If I had used this, we could have won, right?"

Astral Entity: "You said this was your duel and told me not to disturb you."

"Ah, that's true," Yuma sighed. "The world of duels is so profound, so difficult to understand."

However, the cult leader immediately perked up again a second later.

"Well, that's what makes the world of duels so interesting!"

After being personally punished by the Yellow-Clad Lord, he was able to regain his vitality in the blink of an eye, drawing sidelong glances and a touch of envy from the surrounding students.

I admire his unwavering perseverance and his steadfast passion for duels.

Of course, some people think that the Yellow King probably didn't punish him severely enough. He might need to be beaten even harder to learn the cruelty of society.

"He really does look a bit like my older brother from before," muttered Marufuji Sho, who was watching from the sidelines.

However, he only mentioned that this enthusiasm reminded him somewhat of Judai. But if he had to say, Judai had never been beaten like this before.
Yuma heard this: "Big brother?"

“Ah, one of the strongest duelists in this academy, my older brother,” Marufuji Sho said. “How should I put it, he’s a duelist very similar to you. He has a passion for dueling that no one else can match, a duelist like fire.”

"Wow, such an amazing person!"

Yuma got excited again.

"I'd like to try my luck against a duelist like that."

"Really?"

Marufuji Sho was ashamed.

Would someone who has just been brutally defeated by the Yellow King's "Cosmic Lock" really want to immediately challenge a new level of difficulty?

Is this child mentally unstable?
Yuma asked curiously, "What?"

"No, nothing." Marufuji Sho hesitated for a moment. "I'm just a little curious, how can you... always seem so completely unconcerned about failure?"

“This?” Yuma immediately woke up from his sleepiness at the mention of this, “Because it’s called Soaring to the Sky, Soaring to the Sky!”

Marufuji Sho asked in confusion, "Soar into the sky?"

"That's right, never give up, the spirit of continuing to challenge even after a thousand failures, that's what it means to soar to the sky!" Yuma gripped the Imperial Key on his chest. "As long as you haven't given up the challenge, it's the same as not giving up on victory."

If I keep going like this, I'll succeed sooner or later! By then, I'll probably be the dueling champion!

Bang bang bang bang
Yu Xuan clapped his hands and stepped forward: "That spirit is indeed commendable. Well, if possible, I would actually prefer to duel with you when you're in a more serious state. No, perhaps to be more precise, it should be 'you guys'?"

Yuma and Astral Body were both startled and exchanged a glance.

Could this person possibly see astral bodies?
