Chapter 021: Mind Collapse

"No...no..."

Zixing was caught red-handed and panicked, but he managed to find an excuse: "I haven't played cards for too long and forgot the rules...Okay, okay, I remember now, take your hands away!"

Tianma Yexing stared at him for a few seconds without saying a word, until he felt a little creepy, and finally said: "I'll give you a warning, the game continues."

"Tsk!"

Zixing didn't say anything, but he was furious and unhappy: "What warning? A newcomer actually talked to me, a veteran, like this!"

At this time.

Jionouchi just reacted: "Ah! I remember too! You can't draw cards in the first round! Hahaha...Zixing and I have a bad memory!"

[Silly boy, he doesn't have a bad memory. 】

The Creator Dragon of All Things in Tianma Yexing's mind sighed.

Hot-blooded idiots are like this.

Everything is good, but he is too slow to do anything, whether it is someone else's conspiracy to frame him or his feelings.

"Don't pay attention to him, let's continue the game, Jonouchi."

Zixing took a deep breath, slowly covered five cards in the backcourt, and then stretched out his hand to Jonouchi: "I'll cover five cards, okay, it's your turn."

"Hey!? Five covered cards!?"

Jonouchi looked at the opponent's backcourt with a guilty conscience, and then looked at the pile of small monsters in his hand. He always felt that no matter what monster he sent out, he would be played to death by various traps.

"Oh no, oh no, what should I do now..."

"Then it's my turn!"

"Draw a card!"

Accompanied by this very bold shout, Jonouchi suddenly drew a card from the top of the deck!

Then when he glanced at the card surface with his eyes.

The originally worried face instantly became pleasantly surprised!

"Haha! I got this!"

Jounouchi was so excited that he slapped the card he had just drawn on the game table without thinking: "Activate the magic card 'Big Storm'! According to the effect of this card, I can destroy all the magic and trap cards on the field!"

"Hehe!"

Jounouchi wiped his nose and laughed: "Although this 'Big Storm' is accompanied by the negative effect of destroying your own magic and trap cards at the same time, all the cards on the field are yours, Zixing, I'm making a fortune!"

[Big Storm, magic card, effect: ①: All magic and trap cards on the field are destroyed. 】

Ah! ?

Zixing was shocked!

He looked at the Big Storm on the field in panic and secretly said bad.

None of the cards on his field were counterattack cards that could counter the magic effect. If he ate it, he would be dead!

Zero card against five cards, how can this game be played! ?

What to do... What to do...

I have to find a way to break this situation!

But what can I do! ?

If I get beaten to death by a novice in the first ranking competition, how can I survive in the Duel Monsters card circle in the future! ?

Calm down!

Think of a way!

There must be a way!

Sweat began to seep out of Zixing's forehead. He kept flipping through his own cards, stalling time, and thinking about countermeasures.

But the cards are the same.

No matter how many times he flipped, it would be useless.

There is no card that can counter the storm, so he must eat it in this sweep.

"Damn it!"

Zixing's eyes occasionally glanced at Pegasus Night Walker who was staring at him, and cursed in his heart.

Why is this bastard still watching? If he wasn't here, I could still find a way to activate a card to fool Jonouchi, but it's different when this guy is next to me. They are both newbies, and Jonouchi looks like he can be fooled, but this guy called Tianma Yexing looks shrewd.

Think of a way...

Think of a way...

The opponent is a newbie, and there must be flaws and loopholes in playing cards... As long as I catch these flaws, maybe I can...

Hmm?

Flaws and loopholes?

Wait a minute!

Zixing seemed to suddenly remember something, and the whole person changed his sluggishness. He suddenly became energetic and opened one of his backcourts. Looking at the card, his eyes gradually glowed again!

Got it!

Got it!!!

It's this card!

I finally thought of a way to solve the ending where the backcourt was completely destroyed!

I am really a genius!

Hahahaha...

...

"Zixing, have you not made up your mind yet?"

Jounouchi, who had no idea of ​​the other party's mental activity at the moment, waited for a long time, so he asked, "If there is no countermeasure card, then I will destroy your backcourt."

"Wait a minute!"

Zixing changed his previous anxiety and became calm and composed.

He asked Jonouchi very clearly: "Did you declare to enter your preparation phase and main phase just now?"

"Ah?... What do you mean?"

Jonouchi was a novice after all, and was confused by the question: "What does this have to do with the current situation?"

"Of course it has something to do with it."

Zixing raised the corner of his mouth and showed a dangerous smile: "You didn't ask me if there was anything in the preparation phase, which is equivalent to skipping my operation time. I can call the referee."

"Huh!? Is that so?"

Jonouchi was frightened, and then turned to Tianma Yexing for help and asked: "Is that so, Yexing?"

Zixing frowned and said: "Don't ask him, what does he know? He is a novice like you, you should ask the referee."

"He is right."

Tianma Yexing didn't wait for Zixing to call the referee, and directly gave a ruling: "Players need to ask the opponent whether there is a chain at every time when the opponent can activate the card effect, not to mention skipping the preparation phase and entering the main phase. Of course, this should be declared."

Hmm?

Zixing, who was ready to raise his hand to call for the referee, looked at him in surprise after hearing what Tianma Yexing said, and put his hand down.

He thought that this Tianma Yexing would favor his friend.

Although it didn't matter whether he favored or not, after all, he was just a contestant, not a referee.

But I don't know why.

Zixing felt an inexplicable heavy pressure on Tianma Yexing.

After a pause, Zixing looked back at Jonouchi: "Look, even your friend said so."

"This... okay..."

Jonouchi scratched his head in frustration and asked Pegasus Night Walker: "What should we do now?"

"The scene rolls back to the preparation stage."

Pegasus Night Walker pointed at the [Big Storm] on Jonouchi's field: "Put the card back in your hand, and then ask the opponent if there is anything to do in the preparation stage."

"Okay, got it!"

After hearing this, Jonouchi reached out and took back the [Big Storm] on the field, and asked Zixing: "So... ah, now it's the preparation stage, is there anything?"

After saying that, he muttered in a low voice: "Really, what else can happen, anyway, I will still activate my [Big Storm] later..."

But what he didn't expect was.

The opposite Zixing sneered and reached out to turn over a cover card on his field: "Something is going on, at this moment, I will activate the cover card I covered on the field - Mind Break!"
