──The only thing left on this Ancient City of Rainbow was the weak resistance of the first one: "When there is a Gem Beast card in the backfield, this card cannot be destroyed by effects"... The extremely annoying magic trap Kang that made You Ling timid before has disappeared!

From this moment on, all the red, green and colorful little surprises in You Ling's hands and those magic trap cards have been unsealed!

Thinking of this, You Ling raised his head involuntarily, looking at John and the Ultimate Gem God Rainbow Bridge Dragon on his field with extremely sharp eyes.

At this moment, seeing You Ling's expression, John couldn't help but be stunned. He subconsciously took a step back. The slightly cold neck indicated that a familiar feeling had returned again... Because You Ling's eyes now were exactly the same as when he played the "Opposite Turn Deploy" combo and blew up John's family, the Ultra Gemmon!

Seeing this, John couldn't help but widen his eyes. Although he didn't know what the guy opposite was going to do, he couldn't help but shout out: "Wait! You Ling, what are you going to do again..."

But his words couldn't even come out as fast as You Ling's skillful movements. You Ling reached for his hand, pulled out a green card, and slapped it to the backcourt. He then began to laugh like a villain, "Hehehe... [Ultimate Gem God·Rainbow Bridge Dragon]? That looks like a pretty good monster..."

"But I want to see... John, how long can this trump card of yours remain in your field?"

So, the next moment, even though he was in the battle phase where most of the first-speed effects could not be activated, You Ling still revealed a speed-attack magic with a green background from his hand!

──And on the familiar card image of this quick-play magic, even though it was no longer on Youling's field and had long been sent to the graveyard, [Eternal Flame] was spewing out blazing flames... as if challenging the Ultimate Gem God on John's field!

"I activate the quick attack magic—[Flame King God Heaven Burn]!"

After quickly announcing the name of this card, You Ling cast a threatening look at two of the remaining cards on John's field... And his target, of course, was the [Ultra Gem Beast·Rainbow Dragon] in John's backfield and the [Ultra Gem God·Rainbow Bridge Dragon] in the frontfield!

"According to the effect of this card, I choose the two Flame King monsters on my field, [Flame King Divine Beast·Qilin] and [Holy Flame King·Roc Phoenix]... and the two Rainbow Dragons in your front and back fields!"

"Destroy them...all!"

Volume 1: Chapter 185: Battle Stage? No need!

"I'm targeting the [Flame King Divine Beast Qilin] and [Holy Flame King Great Peng Phoenix] on my side of the field, and the two [Rainbow Dragons] in front and behind you..."

 Ling Meng c (seven) Neighbor ⑧2 Dance is the seventh wife of the pipit father "--destroy them all!"

As soon as You Ling finished speaking, the Flame King's Nirvana Flame gathered and took shape on the activated Flame King Shentianshao card on his field.

Then, the two targets he had chosen on the field—the two Fire King monsters—were transformed into fuel, transforming into pure flame spirits like the Eternal Flame of the Roc Phoenix.

──And, the primary target of this suicide-like explosion was naturally John's trump card monster... his [Ultimate Gem God: Red Bridge Dragon]!

Seeing You Ling's counterattack, John obviously didn't expect that he could still operate during the battle stage. He couldn't help but stare at You Ling, and was visibly panicked for a moment.

But fortunately, he still had the trump card of Hongqiao Dragon on the field. In his opinion, the situation was still in his hands... The next second, John recovered, raised his head high, and looked at You Ling as if accepting a challenge.

"Hahaha, You Ling, you... are really tough to deal with!" As he spoke, he stared at the two Flame King monsters that turned into a state of angry flames and flew towards him suicidally.

"But, that's the only way... this duel is interesting enough!"

After saying that, he immediately raised his right hand and pointed at the only monster on his field, Rainbow Bridge Dragon: "Then, at this moment, chain the effect of your card [Flame King God Heaven Burning]... and activate the effect of my monster [Ultimate Gem God·Rainbow Bridge Dragon]!"

As John declared, the Rainbow Bridge Dragon on his field was just like the Rainbow Dragon that You Ling had seen in the original Yu-Gi-Oh anime in his previous life, when its effect was activated - the gem-like decorations on its body lit up one after another, representing the color of each gem beast appearing on its body... and finally gathered into a colorful rainbow light, indicating that the monster's ability had been fully charged and the effect could be activated.

Then, before John's instructions were fully completed and he even finished speaking, the Rainbow Bridge Dragon on his field, which was obviously very intelligent, had already transformed into a rainbow bridge under the dazzling light, just like its name.

"By releasing this fused card, you can return all the cards on both duelists' fields...to the deck!"

"Also, this effect can also be activated during the opponent's turn... In other words, it can also be activated during the battle phase!"

John roared as he confronted the raging flames of Shen Tianshao on the Yuling Field with his Ultimate Gem God. "Come on, [Rainbow Bridge Dragon], reset everything... Let the entire Duel Field return to its original state!"

"......Tsk!" Seeing that his backhand move was once again easily resolved by John on the opposite side, You Ling couldn't help but smack his lips.

Obviously, due to his unfamiliarity with the opponent's deck, You Ling has suffered a lot of losses in this duel. For example, the ability of this Rainbow Bridge Dragon, probably because it is not versatile enough, You Ling is not very clear about it.

"As expected, John, even if I use [God Burning], this duel won't be that easy..."

──But in fact, whether You Ling knows the effect of Rainbow Bridge Dragon or not has little impact on the current situation... After all, an effect like Rainbow Bridge Dragon is described as a cost release effect. The moment it chooses to activate it, the monster is no longer on the field and is sent to the graveyard.

In this era, even if a Duelist's deck has removal cards that can counter the opponent's monster effects, most of them are cards like "Forbidden Holy Grail" used by Vector before, which are used to respond to the effects of monsters on the field... Under this premise, the effect of releasing monsters into the graveyard is almost equivalent to being able to perfectly avoid all resistance from the opponent.

──That's what they call...start and pass!

In this case, the only simplest card that can prevent its effect is probably the one in Youling's memory. In the hand-trap era of Yu-Gi-Oh, everyone has several copies of the god card "Named of the Grave", which can effectively deal with it... But it is obvious that hand-trap is not popular in this era. It is obviously in the ancient environment. There is definitely no trace of the Name of the Grave used for straight hand-trap.

Therefore, without any further action, You Ling could only watch as the Rainbow Bridge Dragon's activation, which was equivalent to passing the effect, took effect directly - an extremely huge rainbow bloomed from the monster's body and then covered the entire field.

So, in this extremely intense round, the final result was that everything on the field was reduced to zero under the power of John's Rainbow Bridge Dragon - even the Ancient Rainbow City that transformed the entire duel field into its own appearance was returned to the deck under the power of this Rainbow Bridge Dragon.

And at this moment when the dust finally settled and all interactions ended and the whole place returned to zero, the heavy breathing of the audience members of the magnetic field could be heard from the audience seats at the same time - obviously, the interaction between You Ling and John just now was so overwhelming that many audience members dared not even breathe, and only at this moment when the dust settled did they remember that they could breathe.

——Even ordinary spectators were like this, let alone Shark Girl who was sitting in the reserve seat, clenching her fists and looking at You Ling with a nervous face... Her face turned red, and she could only listen to her own heartbeat which was speeding up to a certain extent, silently cheering for You Ling.

But when everything was settled and the dust had settled, Shark Girl could clearly hear some panting coming from the other side of the preparation seat - she couldn't help but turn her head and saw that according to the position planning for the elimination round, the preparation seat of her opponent Judai was actually right next to her... The panting just now was obviously coming from the opponent she would face later: Yuki Judai.

So, the moment Shark Sister's eyes met with Judai's, they suddenly became fierce. Even though she knew You Ling and Judai John were close friends, she couldn't afford to show weakness to their rivals... At times like these, she should have glared fiercely...

 But before Shark Girl's expression changed, Yu Cheng Judai in the next audience seat smiled and nodded at her in a familiar manner...Then this guy immediately turned his head, raised his right hand high, and loudly cheered for Yu Ling, who was obviously his opponent.

"Go ahead, You Ling, seize this opportunity in the open field and don't hold back... Let John know how powerful you are!"

Seeing Judai like this, Shark Girl was stunned for a moment. She didn't even have time to change the expression she had just thought of, and her whole face was distorted... She even suspected that she had heard it wrong. Why was this guy cheering for You Ling?

When people are extremely speechless, their minds sometimes go blank. This made Shark Girl blink and subconsciously speak, asking to the side: "No, wait, who are you cheering for? Are you You Ling's teammate or John's teammate?"

"Look at what you're saying... Of course I'm John's teammate." Upon hearing this, Judai turned around and gave Shark a strange look, then explained confidently, "But on the premise of being a teammate, I'm also a good friend of You Ling and John... So it's normal for me to cheer for either one!"

"And most importantly, victory is valuable, but showing off is even more valuable... Watching them fight so happily on the field, with John so full of energy as he summoned his ace monster... it's more painful than killing me!"

"Thinking about it this way, I might as well cheer on You Ling and have him quickly beat John to a pulp... and then let me go up and duel!"

Shark:......

Looking at Judai's confident look, Shark Girl couldn't help but remain silent for a few seconds. In the end, she decided not to argue with him and turned her head away silently. Although this guy now has a very good relationship with You Ling and his favorability is increasing... it doesn't mean that she has to make friends with a weird guy like Judai that You Ling knows.

Anyway, she couldn't understand Judai's train of thought. No matter what, Shark Sister would not want You Ling to lose, let alone cheer for the opponent. While thinking this in her mind, Shark Sister certainly didn't remember that she seemed to be a stranger to You Ling, or even a somewhat hostile position not long ago, and she didn't realize that the boomerang had flown back and hit her in the face.

Putting aside the Tendai guy's train of thought, at this moment in the duel arena - after everything was cleared by the Rainbow Bridge Dragon's effect, the colorful light gradually dissipated... The two duelists, John and You Ling, almost simultaneously lowered their arms that were blocking their eyes and met each other's gazes.

──All those Flame King monsters that were painstakingly summoned in the spiritual field, whether it was the Qilin, the Dapeng Phoenix, or his Flame King Divine Sky Burning, had all turned into light and dissipated.

——Correspondingly, John's side was naturally deserted... But the problem was that even in the empty state, he still had that confident expression, as if he was looking at the wandering spirit opposite him as if he was looking at a challenger.

The next moment, he even raised his arms carelessly, crossed his hands behind his head, and looked extremely relaxed.

"Alright, Youling, under the power of Rainbow Bridge Dragon, everything on the field has returned to its starting point... Since you didn't choose to chain at that moment, it means you probably don't have any way to deal with this."

As he spoke, he winked playfully at You Ling a few times: "How's it going? I guess I've survived your attacks... and made it through this phase of the battle, right?"

Seeing his confident expression, You Ling was silent for a second, then couldn't help laughing out loud: "Indeed, I have to end the battle phase... John, you really are a difficult guy."

But then, he changed his tone and looked at John across from him with a somewhat dangerous look: "But, looking at your expression... are you so confident that you can survive this turn, have your turn, and win the duel with just one card draw?"

After saying that, You Ling stretched out his hand and pointed at John's empty hand and the board: "Don't forget, you are empty-handed and empty-board right now...you have nothing."

——Although You Ling's words now seem to be a sign of setting a flag, as if he is telling the opponent "You are empty-handed and your life is like a candle in the wind"...but after all, John still has a lot of health points, and he is not a candle in the wind, so it doesn't matter if he says it.

John responded with a confident smile. He extended his right hand, gestured to his deck, and said with hope, "...Confidence? Of course."

"As a Duelist, you must trust your deck and your allies..." He gestured at his already overflowing graveyard. "My family, almost all of the Gem Beasts in my deck, are already piled in the graveyard right now... If you can just end the battle phase, or even the turn, I'm absolutely confident I can end this duel instantly with my next draw."

Looking at John's confident look, although he didn't quite understand where his confidence came from, but recalling the scenes of dueling with countless anime-style duelists before, You Ling couldn't help but nodded.

──Obviously, as a typical anime duelist who can call the deck his own, John's next amazing draw will definitely not be weaker than any of the Seven Emperors of Barian that You Ling has seen before... It will definitely be a amazing draw that can completely reverse the situation and force You Ling into a desperate situation.

——No... If that's the case, if You Ling's turn ends like this, it's very possible that John's next draw will directly capture the true form of his main card ace monster, Ultra Gem God Rainbow Dragon, and then jump down and kill You Ling in one breath.

There's no need to even speculate based on the possibilities of anime duelists—even using the OCG thinking that Youling usually uses, John on the opposite side has already sent almost all the junk in his deck, including those seven types of Gem Beasts, to the graveyard... Judging by pure mathematical logic, the probability of him drawing a good card from the remaining deck is ridiculously high, and the next move will almost certainly be a powerful spell from the Gem Beasts' main deck.

In other words, if the dream of the Umbrella Master ⑼ Qishan Private ended directly, then You Ling would basically be... waiting to die.

──But fortunately... You Ling is not waiting to die!

"Then I choose to end the battle phase..."

"Then—enter Main Phase Two!"

The Youling opposite slowly raised his hand, rubbed the two remaining cards in his hand, and responded to John's words in agreement.

"Indeed, John. Your [Gemmon] and your [Ultra-Gem God] both gave me great surprises... Even though I played a Coco of this level, you still managed to survive all the Flame King monsters you played during your turn."

"I really didn't expect it, but my trump card Xyz monster [Roc Phoenix Eternal Flame] was still a threat during the battle phase, and my final attack [God of Heaven Burning]... You easily withstood even Phosphorus Dream ⒍ Dad (Nine) ⑤⒏ Lingshi Zero Object Continuation's three powerful attempts."

But as he was speaking, You Ling changed his tone again - at the same time he raised his head and looked at him with that hunting look that was extremely familiar to John.

"But after getting through the battle phase and clearing all the cards in your hand and on the field, this means that all your resistance has been completely exhausted, right, John?"

"Then...my temptation ends here."

──What John said is actually true. You Ling’s combat phase has indeed ended. He is no longer at risk of being killed in this round... But that’s all, so what!

From You Ling's perspective, whether or not John could be killed directly in this round was not the top tactical goal to be pursued... Just like when the Phoenix Yongyan appeared before, if it could be effective, it would be the best, but even if it couldn't be effective, it would definitely have formed an exchange with the opponent's resistance, clearing the obstacles for its real goal!

──Just like health points are the most useless resource in a duel, as long as the health points are not reduced to zero, it is no different from being full of health... Everything consumed in the battle phase has no effect on the actual development of Youling!

Thinking of this, You Ling even had time to turn his head and glance at Shark Sister sitting in the audience - this was inconsistent with the era they were in now, and came from the OCG duel thinking of You Ling's previous life. He had just explained it to Shark Sister this morning... So, You Ling knew that Shark Sister, a serious guy, should be watching and thinking seriously now.

——Sure enough, after turning around and seeing Shark Girl's expression of sudden realization, and accidentally seeing Shark in the audience on the other side's face full of anger, You Ling nodded in satisfaction, and at the same time slammed his cards hard onto the field.

"Heh heh... John, I haven't even performed a Normal Summon yet!"

After hearing You Ling's words and seeing his confident movements after entering the second main stage, John obviously realized that something was wrong.

"No, so You Ling, you were just lying..." He couldn't help but widen his eyes, and was so frightened by You Ling's cunning that he was almost speechless.

"That's right, that was just a trick... Now comes the real highlight!"

After saying that, You Ling placed another emerald green continuous magic card in his hand on his backfield: "I activate the continuous magic card - [Flame King's Sanctuary]!"

"Then, as a resolution to this card's effect... from your deck, place one of the Fire King's Field Spells, [Fire King's Island], into your Field Zone!"

——So, under the equal treatment of the duel projection equipment... Just like the ancient city of rainbow mentioned by John earlier, the venue card posted by Youling this time also spread to the entire duel field, turning the entire venue into an isolated island covered with volcanoes and lava belonging to the Flame King.

"Now that your [Rainbow Ancient City] has disappeared, the Rainbow Bridge that protected you has also temporarily left the duel stage..."

"Now... it's my turn, the Flame King!"

①: One good news and one bad news: The good news is that at the end of the month I found that I seemed to be a little short of the minimum word count requirement for updates, so today I specially wrote an extra chapter to make up for it. In total, I updated more than 1 words today.

The bad news is that I have to go on a business trip tomorrow morning after finishing this chapter today...it will probably last for two days.

I'll try my best to find some time to update during my business trip these two days, but there's a high probability that I won't be able to do it... So if I can't, just consider it as taking two days off tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

Volume 1: Chapter 186: Holy shit!

"Now it's... my turn as the Flame King!"

After shouting, You Ling's eyes became sharp and serious, and then he stared at John opposite him with a brand new temperament, like a general who was about to make a comeback.

At this moment, his entire aura was completely different from every minute and every second before the duel... He was like a man who had been enduring for a long time, sleeping on straw and tasting gall, as if he could finally take off his disguise and show his whole self.

He looked just as he said - as if everything before was just a show with John, and all the attacks before were just tests... Only now had it come to You Ling's real duel.

At this point, John certainly did not dare to be negligent in his reaction... Oftentimes, the eye contact between the duelists can determine many things. In John's opinion, just by looking at the eyes of the Youling opposite him, he could already feel his domineering intentions and determination - he knew that this guy was definitely not bragging, and he really wanted to knock him away from this moment on.

"Tsk tsk tsk, You Ling, you are indeed ten or even nine times more powerful than I thought..."

Fortunately, as a duelist with rich dueling experience and a self-motivated fighter, John was only slightly nervous for a second after seeing You Ling's expression, and then he immediately recovered. Then, he stretched out his right hand with a calm face, pointed at You Ling opposite him, and said: "Haha, not bad, not bad..."

"If you have any other tricks or tricks, feel free to use them!" Without even listening to the other spirit's reply, John opened his arms, as if ready, telling the spirit to attack as it pleased. "You only have one field and one card left. In this situation, what exactly can you do... I'm curious too."

"Then... let me see it for myself!"

When saying this, John's eyes were fixed on the only card left in You Ling's hand, just as the message in his words conveyed. That's right, just like he said, after this card of Flame King's Sanctuary and Gu Dao's Ling Meng Wu Yi (Ba Mio Flag) were posted on the field, at this moment, the opposite You Ling only had one card left in his hand.

Moreover, combined with the various information from the previous duels, John, as a seasoned duelist, was able to deduce that the only card left in You Ling's hand was definitely not a monster card, but a spell or a trap... Most likely, it was a magic card that could not be played when the Ancient Rainbow City was still there and could only be used now.

──And the Field Spell [Flame King's Island] on Youling's field requires the destruction of a monster before its search effect can take effect... Therefore, in this case, if the remaining card in Youling's hand is a Magic Card, it won't even be enough to support the cost of the Flame King's Island effect.

But with John's understanding of You Ling, he didn't think You Ling was bluffing - he knew very well that even if the remaining card in You Ling's hand was a magic card, it must be a magic card that could be transformed into a monster and produce an effect here... So, he just kept a tense expression and looked at You Ling's hand nervously, looking forward to his card.

And You Ling's reaction to this was... He suddenly raised his head, clamped the only remaining card in his hand with his right hand, and at the same time looked up at John desperately.

Perhaps because the two of them were so close and familiar with each other, You Ling spoke to the other person in a rather brazen tone. "Haha, John, how dare you talk to me like that... How many horses do you have?"

As he spoke, You Ling's hands did not stop moving... He waved the only remaining card and stuck it to the backcourt of his device.

Just from the few images revealed by his hand-raising action, John on the opposite side also widened his eyes. He could clearly see that it was indeed a green-background card representing a magic card!

But at the same time, John couldn't help but make eye contact with You Ling who was operating on the opposite side... and then he saw the immense confidence revealed in this guy's eyes - as if he had already won the duel.

You Ling raised his chin slightly at this moment, and before calling out the name of the card he activated, he even had time to make a mocking sound to his friend opposite him.

"John, you should be thankful that my current deck hasn't reached its peak yet...or rather, the strength of this world isn't strong enough to support my deck's peak!"

"Otherwise, if I just shoot this magic card... you'll explode right there if you just take one look at it!"

This time, the projection device of the duel disk projected the only remaining card in You Ling's hand onto the field in a large-scale image, just as the duelists usually did when they activated magic cards. However, contrary to You Ling's aggressive and arrogant words just now, the image of this card only showed an ordinary small flame placed in a container.
