You Chen was thinking and sighing. It turned out that there were many hidden talents in Class 6 of No. 9 High School. The strength shown by Mu Qingyu was obviously much stronger than the strength she had shown in Class 6 before.
So, was this girl also hiding her strength?
Or, up to now, had no one ever forced her to fight seriously?
But no matter what, today's final day was undoubtedly the day when Principal Hua of No. 9 High School laughed to the very end. This year, No. 9 High School finally won the championship in a huge upset, and the finals were actually a duel between two students from No. 9 High School!
This moment alone was enough to brag about for a lifetime.
So the smile on Principal Hua's face never disappeared.
At the same time, just as You Chen was thinking about what Deck he should use to deal with the final, he suddenly noticed that the chat group had released a limited-time task again.
"Why is there a limited-time task now?"
You Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt confused.
The limited-time task appeared in the Minotaur chat group.
When a special triggering condition is detected, a limited-time task is issued, and after completing it, the corresponding reward can be obtained.
And this time, the reward was an exclusive Cyber Dragon chat group and an exclusive beginner Cyber Dragon Deck.
"????"
When You Chen saw this, his pupils trembled violently, and he stood up excitedly on the spot.
As soon as he stood up, he attracted the attention of the people around him.
Only then did he realize that he had lost his composure. He didn't sit back down, but instead walked outside.
An exclusive Cyber Dragon chat group!
And even an initial Deck?!
Damn it, finally another mainstream Deck!
And it was an infinitely scalable one!
There had always been a joke circulating online: abandon all mainstream Decks and choose the strongest Cyber Dragon instead.
Although it was a joke, it also proved one thing—this Deck's strength was definitely not weak.
Even if it was only a beginner Deck, in the current environment, it was already strong enough.
Now, there was truly a reason to take this championship seriously.
Limited-time task requirement:
You must use only the opponent's monsters to reduce the opponent's Life Points from above 8000 to zero, and then the task will be completed.
The difficulty of the task was immediately apparent.
You could only use the opponent's monsters to finish the opponent.
That meant cards like Lava Golem were completely unusable, because Lava Golem directly reduces Life Points, and such damage would not count toward task completion.
Wow.
The difficulty had directly been raised to another level.
It seemed that winning this championship would not be easy at all.
Hua Ningning, who was not far away, frowned slightly as she looked at You Chen, feeling more and more suspicious.
Why was You Chen's behavior so strange?
He looked silent on the surface, but his eyes seemed to be constantly thinking, as if he was communicating with something unseen.
It felt extremely odd.
Of course, she wasn't sure whether it was just her imagination.
…
Afternoon finally arrived.
Under the setting sun, fiery clouds dyed the sky red, and a golden afterglow spread across the horizon.
It was as if the world itself was announcing the arrival of the final duel.
The audience had already taken their seats.
"Who would've thought that this year, Ninth High School would pull off such a massive upset?"
"And the finals are actually between two Ninth High School students!"
"This is unprecedented, completely outrageous—especially considering how bad Ninth High School looked at the beginning."
"At first, I thought Ninth High School would be wiped out completely."
"Hahaha, exciting!! This is the charm of dueling—upsets are always the most interesting!"
"I really can't tell who's stronger, You Chen or Mu Qingyu."
"Mu Qingyu, my goddess!"
The audience whispered excitedly.
At this very moment, Mu Qingyu and You Chen stepped onto the final duel field together!
The students of Ninth High School immediately erupted into cheers, and Class 6 was especially excited, since both finalists came from their class.
Teacher Fang Qing even had tears in her eyes—she had never dreamed that such a day would come.
Mu Qingyu raised her cold eyes.
She wasn't good with words and didn't say much.
She simply spoke one sentence.
"DUEL—"
You Chen was slightly surprised. He and Mu Qingyu had barely interacted at school, and her personality was indeed extremely cold.
But that was fine.
In duels, words were unnecessary.
Real duelists let their cards speak.
Yes—that was right.
What You Chen wanted to say to Mu Qingyu was already written in his Deck.
Bull monsters!
Still bull monsters!
And this time, they were fully upgraded—a pure Minotaur series!
No burn traps, no red-pit Life Point reduction.
Because the moment he used those, the limited-time task would fail.
The True Silent Magician stared at Mu Qingyu for a long time, her bright eyes fixed on her, before falling into silence.
"Why?"
"Do elves also like looking at beautiful girls?"
You Chen asked suspiciously.
"No."
"She has a familiar aura."
"Have I met her before…?"
The True Silent Magician replied hesitantly.
Met her before?
You Chen didn't think much about it.
At this moment, the duel had already begun.
The coin fell from the sky.
It landed on the reverse side.
Mu Qingyu would go first.
"My turn. Draw."
Mu Qingyu didn't say much. She pinched a card between two fingers and decisively placed it onto her Duel Disk.
"I activate the Field Spell Card [Aroma Garden] from my hand."
The duel field instantly transformed into a lush, fragrant garden, filled with the scent of flowers, youth, and hope.
Compared to the previous duel fields—
This one was undoubtedly the most comfortable and soothing.
At this moment, You Chen couldn't help but smack his lips.
Damn it.
This time, he was in trouble.
His limited-time mission required him to finish the opponent using Minotaur effects and the opponent's monsters.
But he hadn't expected Mu Qingyu to use an Aroma Deck.
Good grief.
The difficulty instantly skyrocketed.
He hadn't expected that even after surviving the college league, Mu Qingyu would become his biggest obstacle.
Still, You Chen accepted it calmly.
After all, he had encountered worse situations many times before.
"Then, I Normal Summon [Aromage Jasmine] from my hand."
A petite figure appeared, holding a fragrant staff.
She wore a white robe, with long silver-white hair flowing down her back, and pure purple eyes that smiled gently toward You Chen.
[Aromage Jasmine]
Light Attribute / Level 2 / Plant
ATK 100 / DEF 1900
"I activate the effect of the Field Spell [Aroma Garden]."
"Once per turn, if I control an 'Aroma' monster, I gain 500 Life Points."
"After this effect resolves, all monsters I control gain 500 ATK and DEF until the end of my opponent's next turn."
Mu Qingyu spoke softly.
The next moment—
Her Life Points increased by 500.
LP: 8500
At the same time, [Aromage Jasmine]'s ATK rose to 600.
"I then activate the effect of [Aromage Jasmine]."
"Once per turn, when I gain Life Points, I draw 1 card."
Mu Qingyu calmly added a card to her hand.
Life gain.
Card advantage.
Endurance.
This was without a doubt the situation that Minotaur decks feared the most.
And it was exactly why You Chen felt pressure.
In summary—
The Aroma archetype was the kind of Deck that could make Minotaurs cry.
