Duels should be played with a smile.

[Light - Link 4 - Phantom Dragon - Attack Power 3000 - Arrows ↑↓↘↗]

The swirling mist had completely dissipated, coalescing into a self-aware coiled dragon representing infinite consciousness. Anyone who looked directly at its body experienced a moment of enlightenment.

Self-awareness is the awakening and enlightenment of the self.

"Dragon's Continuous Effect: If you control a face-up monster other than an Effect Monster, you cannot target an Effect Monster on the field for an attack or for an effect."

The moment the self-aware Panlong descended, the meteorite derivatives that had little presence on the playground seemed to develop self-awareness, absorbing the misty energy from the self-aware Panlong. This misty energy, together with the playground and the self-aware Panlong, created a region that resembled a pure land.

A Link 4 monster with 3000 ATK, combined with the tokens on the field and those it sent to the field, unleashed astonishing power.

Jack was getting excited; he felt that this duel wouldn't be a one-sided, boring spectacle.

His body, which had been sitting upright, was now tense, one of the signs that he was getting into the zone.

"Oh right, cover 3 back row cards, then my turn ends."

Jack paused for a moment, his passion faltering slightly after seeing the three backcourt photos, and his tense body stiffened even more.

"Oh my! After being hit by a meteorite, Leyou has once again demonstrated the powerful force known as the Phantom Dragon! After a series of maneuvers, two incredibly powerful Phantom Dragons guarded his field!"

"Not only that, even the meteorite that Jack used against him became his power!"

"Furthermore, he still has 2 cards in his hand and 3 cards in his back row! What this means, I believe all duelists understand!"

"Now, let's witness how Jack will fare in this predicament!"

The commentators and audience were enthusiastic, but Leyou was still a little unsatisfied. If he hadn't eaten a meteorite, he could have summoned a hundred-headed dragon with a white gun barrel in the first wave, and then immediately summoned another wave of water machines, which would then produce another hundred-headed dragon, to perform a real "hundred-headed dragon giving birth to all things".

It's quite reasonable for a dragon with everything to have two hundred heads!

Not to mention the later Yuanlong Star, the Nine Branches, or the counterattack traps of the Tianwei family, if you put them all together, Jack will definitely have a blast.

It's a pity, I didn't have the chance.

But it doesn't matter, Leyou has other things that can make Jack happy.

"Hmph! You have some skill, but if that's all, it's merely a decent performance in front of a true master!"

"Now, I'll show you what a true king is!"

With an air of utter composure, Jack dropped a sentence and his D-Wheel accelerated instantly, speeding up in front of Leyou before Leyou could react.

This forced Leyou to turn around and start driving normally—driving the D wheel against the flow of traffic was definitely not allowed, but this was a race, and no one cared.

Just make sure you don't crash after being attacked by a monster.

"My turn, draw a card!"

After drawing the card, Jack habitually looked at the screen on the D-Wheel. Only after discovering that there was no high-speed count did he realize that this was not a high-speed duel taking place in the Synchro Dimension.

"It doesn't matter, the victory of a king doesn't need any extra help!"

"Your self-awareness is indeed very strong, and you also made very good use of the meteorite derivatives I sent you."

When Jack spoke, he actually gave Leyou a slight compliment first. Although the tone wasn't very pleasant, it was indeed a compliment.

But Leyou immediately became alert. His experience told him that Jack would soon have a "but".

“But!” A smile flashed across Jack’s face.

"But you're not the only one who knows how to use your opponent's things!"

"A duel between kings is never confined to oneself!"

"Spell Card [Monster Resurrection]! Target Hundred-Headed Dragon in your Graveyard! Special Summon it to my field!"

A question mark slowly appeared on Leyou's forehead.

I never even considered beating you up this round. I was even looking forward to a tense and exciting duel that would get my soul pumping. But you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, came right out there beating me up?!

"Your monster should have a better understanding of its effects than I do, right?" Jack asked casually, but Leyou sensed a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Perhaps it's just my imagination? Jack doesn't seem like that kind of person—maybe it's because when I'm superior to others, I always make sarcastic remarks, so I feel like Jack is making sarcastic remarks about me too?

It doesn't matter anymore, none of this is important.

The important thing is, someone actually dared to mess with me! And even provoke me?!

My pure love for the God of War will surely annihilate everything today!

"Of course I know... Although the Hundred-Headed Dragon usually doesn't use that effect, it can indeed release a monster and then destroy a card without targeting," Leyou explained with an expressionless face.

But his heart was already filled with the killing intent of the God of Pure Love!

"Since you've come to this... then I don't need to pretend to be a gentleman anymore!"

In an instant, the misty aura and the soaring sword energy erupted together.

"The moment you successfully Special Summoned an Effect Monster! The effect of the Field Spell Card activated! You Special Summoned an Effect Monster, so I draw 2 cards!"

"And at the same time, C2 is activated, another effect of Seven Star Dragon Abyss. It can only be activated if the opponent successfully Special Summons a monster, excluding one of them, and deals 1200 damage to you!"

"You want to use my things against me? I won't give them to you unless you absolutely have to!"

Normally, a hundred-headed dragon would be used as equipment for a white gun barrel after entering the graveyard, but this hundred-headed dragon has been corrupted, is dirty, and is no longer clean—so, let it disappear.

At the same time, it is possible that Jack will draw Ash Blossom & Joyous Springs this round. Leyou specially arranged the field chain in C1. He can feel that when his pure love soul is reawakened, his deck is also responding to him!

Among the two cards that are about to be drawn, there is one that can bring a smile to Jack's face!

"Hmph, as expected." Jack showed no surprise whatsoever. "A king's duel is always two steps ahead! Your response was no surprise!"

"C3, Chain Activate the Quick-Play Spell Card [Forbidden Drop]! You can only activate one card per turn. You can send any number of cards other than this card to the Graveyard from your hand or field to activate this effect. Target that number of Effect Monsters your opponent controls. Those monsters have their ATK halved until the end of this turn, and their effects are negated."

"At the same time, you cannot activate the effects of cards of the same type (monster, spell, or trap) as the card sent to the Graveyard for the activation of this card in response to the activation of this card."

"To me, whether your monster is destroyed or negated, the result is the same! I send the Hundred-Headed Dragon on the field and the Trap Card [Crimson Starfall] from my hand to the Graveyard, therefore, you cannot chain my activation with monster effects or Trap Cards!"

With the arrival of the invincible One Drop, since there are only 2 monsters on the field, Jack cannot completely prevent One Drop from being chained by sending 3 types of cards to the graveyard.

However, Jack didn't care. The only spell cards that could be activated by a face-down were Quick-Play, and generally speaking, there weren't any Quick-Play spells that could deal with a single point—just generally speaking.

"Although a single drop is indeed invincible, and although I'm not the one unfolding it right now..." Leyou calmly flipped over his face-down card, "Guardian of the unfolding! Reporting for duty!"

"C4, Quick-Play Spell Card [Called Name of Annihilation]! I declare [A Forbidden Drop]!"

"Muda! Muda! Your drop is ineffective!"

A blond swordsman appeared in front of Leyou, wielding a longsword and slashing at a drop on Jack's field.

“Mudada!” Jack retorted without backing down, staring at Leyou across the track at high speed. “I’ll say the same to you!”

"Guardian Deity Unfolds! Reporting for Duty!"

"Me too! C5, activate the finger-wiping technique, I declare [the one to be annihilated]!"

A strikingly similar blond swordsman appeared before Jack, his longsword steadily meeting Leyou's.

This is the real "fencing"!

"My sword is not without its weaknesses!"

Leyou is a little bit of a pain.

The kind of clash he wants isn't fencing!

Putting aside the fact that I haven't seen a sword pointing at you like this for quite a while, just the thought of two grown men fencing here is pretty awkward.

Not to mention that everyone here is married. Jack only has Carly, which is fine, but he has to deal with three at the same time! If he wears down the sword's sharpness and durability here, how will he prove his status in the family when he gets back?

This has a pretty bad impact.

After all, this is the King of Games.

Chapter Seventy-Three: The Wife's Card

"The king's duel is always two steps ahead! It seems you have no way to win!"

Jack declared his victory in an extremely triumphant tone, believing that Leyou had no way to deal with the invincible sword pointing at him.

"No wonder he was once the King of Duel in the Synchro Dimension!" Leyou exclaimed in unison, though he emphasized the word "once".

Unsurprisingly, he also saw a flash of displeasure on Jack's face.

"Your strength is truly astounding. You were able to predict that I would use the Sword Finger technique right from the very beginning of the card draw!"

High EQ: The boss played really well.

Low emotional intelligence: Damn it, you bastard!

This time, Leyou truly understood what it meant to be ripped off.

"However... I'm really curious about something now. You used up four cards in one go. Now that you only have one card left, how are you going to play it?"

"Hmph! A king's duel won't be so easily seen through! My deck will always answer my call!"

"Since you no longer have any chains, then let's end this!"

The blond swordsman raised his longsword, ready to shatter his mirror image at Jack's command.

"Who said I don't have any more chains?" Le You waved his hand, now threatened by a drop of water, and the Seven Star Dragon Abyss, which was about to be rendered ineffective, drew its sword a second time.

"Although I don't have a card that can counter your sword finger, I still have other cards I can use!"

"Although your one drop prevented me from chaining through Graveyard monsters and Trap Cards, now... it's no longer a chain that follows your one drop!"

As Longyuan was drawn from its sheath, the sword, radiating an evil aura, pierced the blond swordsman with unparalleled precision.

"C6, another effect of Seven Star Dragon Abyss: When the opponent activates the effect of a Spell/Trap Card, that card is banished, and it deals 1200 damage to the opponent!"

Seeing the Seven Star Dragon Abyss effect activate, Jack, who had been somewhat wary, immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Hmph, is that all? Once a spell card is activated, whether it is destroyed or banished, its effect will not be affected! Your cricket's 1200 damage is just a tickle!"

"A move that makes no sense!" Jack commented.

"Of course I know!" Leyou laughed, unconcerned by Jack's words. "I just didn't want this effect to go to waste. Even though it's only 1200, it's better to give it away than not, and besides..."

"My real purpose is actually this!"

As the engine started, the vast track was suddenly enveloped in mist, and thunder rumbled in the sky. On the track where the D-wheel drove, clear streams of water were parted by the wheels.

"C7, activate the face-down Trap Card [Graceful Phantom Dragon]! Send any number of Phantom Dragon-Type monsters from your hand and face-up monsters on your field to the Graveyard to activate this effect, and draw 1 card from your Deck for each monster sent to the Graveyard!"

"Instead of letting your single drop negate it, I'd rather convert it into my resources! And as long as it's not on the field, you can't negate my monster with a single drop!"

"I'm sending my Seven Star Dragon Abyss and Self-Aware Coiled Dragon on the field, along with the Radiant Might from my hand, to the Graveyard! Based on the effect of the Trap Card, I can draw 4 cards!"
