Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Roar of the Weak

Chapter 365 The Pit

"It's not over yet. I'll activate the Spell Card [Double Attack] again, discarding Ancient Gear Giant from my hand so that my Ancient Gear Giant on the field can attack twice this turn." Ma Miya pressed his advantage, preparing to finish off Di Xing in one turn.

"Teacher Ma Miya, you traded 6 for 1! You've lost cards like crazy!" Yin Fa clapped sarcastically.

"What do you know? Six cards for one 3000 attack with armor penetration, a battle-level silence spell trap, and you can even hit a big monster twice. It's a great deal, okay?"

"Teacher Ma Miya," came Di Xing's voice from across the raging wind, "You are truly amazing!"

"Hmph, it's too late for you to flatter me now."

"You can actually do the exact same movements as in the animation?"

"??? What are you talking about?"

"Teacher Yin Fa, Teacher Ma Miya didn't trade 6 for 1, but 1 for 3."

At this moment, the fierce winds of the storm finally began to subside, and in the gradually calming air currents, three enormous shadows appeared and disappeared on the Di Xing field.

"Teacher Ma Miyai, no, student Ma Miyai, I really have to thank you!"

The gale completely subsided, and three enormous green-furred boxing koalas stood before Di Xing.

"What...what is this?!"

“Mamiya, the face-down card on my field is a card somewhat similar to your [Golden Evil God Statue], called [Teasing the Snake].” This was the N card that Di Xing “exchanged” from Zhong Shicheng.

"What!?"

"If the monster 'Killing the Grass and Provoking the Snake' leaves the field due to your effect, is sent to the Graveyard, or is banished, activate this effect. Special Summon 1 monster from your Deck and Extra Deck, therefore I Summon 3 'Lord of Oz'." (EARTH/Beast, Level 9, 4200/3700)

"Are you... joking?"

Mami Cliff has no more cards left, which means he has already lost this match.

"Ma Miyai, you lost the advancement exam, but it was a very exciting duel."

Di Xing imitated Judai's classic gesture, bringing his right index, middle, and thumb together and rubbing his forehead forward. "Then please take care of me from now on, my student."

At this moment, Di Xing thought to himself, "Hehehe, Maeda Hayato, I've avenged you!"

Three enormous koalas leaped into the air, their six fists raining down on Mami Cliff's arena like a storm. Forget 4000 health points, even 8000 would have been wiped out.

"Hehehe, you flatter me, classmate Ma Miyai. Remember to call me teacher next time you see me."

"I...I actually lost! I, Ma Miya, actually lost! Oh my god!" Ma Miya collapsed to his knees, utterly defeated.

Yin Fa yawned, while Li Qi continued to cry, clutching the crying chip of the Crying Prince. No one paid any attention to Ma Miya.

"Waaah!" Ma Miya pulled out a towel from somewhere and started biting it.

"The points you get for defeating the teacher aren't low," Yin Fa said lazily. "You don't need to duel with anyone else anymore."

"Really? That's great... Ta-ga, Koukouwaru!"

How could a card player like Pai Lao refuse an opportunity to have a great time playing cards!

At this moment, Wang Teng's imposing figure strode over. "You actually defeated the teacher, very impressive. I, the king, will fight you."

"Unable to obtain what one desires".

“DUEL”

Di Xing lost after a coin toss.

"I will let you attack first."

"Then I activate the Spell Card [Dark Realm's Lure], both players draw one card, then discard one card, and then I set a monster and set three more cards to end my turn."

"Are you planning to use the same trick again?" Wang Teng glanced at the [Great Storm] card in his hand.

"I won't fall for that. I'll activate [Defense Lockdown] to change all your Defense-position monsters to Attack-position."

Di Xing's forced opening

"Heh, so you set a card that can't be destroyed in battle? Too bad that little trick won't work on me. I'll activate Dark Realm's Summoning, and we'll both draw and discard a card."

"Then, since you are the only one with a monster on your field, I Special Summon [Evil Dragon] from my hand. The ATK and DEF of the Evil Dragon Special Summoned by this effect are halved."

"Then I banish the [Reincarnation Dragon] from my graveyard and add the [Hell Emperor Dragon] from my graveyard to my hand. Then the effect of Reincarnation Dragon applies, and I can Tribute Summon Hell Emperor Dragon. I Tribute Dragon on my field to Tribute Summon Hell Emperor Dragon!"

Di Xing couldn't help but sigh, Wang Teng really had a strange obsession with the word "emperor."

"It's not over yet. I haven't performed a normal summon this round. I will summon the Hell Emperor Dragon again, putting it into double summon state and awakening its ability, Double Strike!"

"So even if your monster can't be destroyed by battle, it's useless now! Hellfire Dragon, attack! I've won this match!"

"Is that so? I activate the Trap Card [Magic Cylinder] to negate the attack of Inferno Emperor Dragon, and then inflict damage on you equal to its attack power!"

"What?! You didn't build the 'Stirring Up Trouble' formation?"

"Who told you I can only cover up things that attract snakes?"

"Damn it! Looks like I'll have to give up my second chance to attack. But don't get cocky, I'll clear your field with a Great Storm next turn."

"Who told you I didn't cover the door and clean up the snake?"

"What!?"

"This guy!" Xian Yiji looked at Di Xing like he was a villain. "He uses a heavy trap deck and mixes in a 'troublemaker' card to prevent the opponent from destroying his card. What a despicable person!"

Wang Teng was caught in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat.

"Don't hesitate, let me make the decision for you. I'll exclude the [Loaded Cylindrical] from the graveyard and double the damage of this magic barrel!"

"What?!"

The Hellfire Emperor Dragon's fiery attack was sucked into the suddenly appearing cylinder, and then a revolver's magazine appeared in front of Wang Teng, doubling the Hellfire Emperor Dragon's attack before it flew out.

The massive 4800 points of damage resulted in Wang Teng losing the match.

Wang Teng pointed at Di Xing in disbelief, "You, you, you scoundrel!"

“Yes, I’m using a heavy trap deck,” Di Xing said, revealing a smile as clear as that of Yugi Muto, the Duelist King.

"Alright, who wants to fight me next?"

Everyone took a step back; the reckless deck is hated by everyone!

And so, with no cards to play, Di Xing could only awkwardly watch others duel. Because everyone was using decks with 4000 life points and decks built from cards obtained from packs, the duels were incredibly fast, making the exam site lively and bustling. Di Xing could only watch longingly from the sidelines.

And so, because no one challenged Di Xing to a duel, he survived until the final match, where his opponent surrendered without even showing his face. Thus, Di Xing unwittingly became the champion of the third match.

"Oh well, I think my score on this exam should be enough to get me into Central or Inner Ring Road, right?"

"Don't you want to enter the outer ring road?" A clear and pleasant voice rang out.

"Oh, actually the outer ring road isn't bad either."

"That's great! Congratulations, your wish has come true!"
