You are not allowed to play Yu-Gi-Oh

Is this a connection?
Lu You looked at the light emanating from the card in the suitcase and was suddenly a little surprised. After all, he had to duel in the past to establish a close connection and touch the spirits that resided in the card, but this time...

It seems that this is also the result of the enhancement of the "bond" ability.

At this moment, the golden light in the suitcase was particularly dazzling. In addition to the five core parts of the Dark Wizard, there was also the Phantom Summoning God, a monster from the same series.

It can be said that the entire Exodia structure has been basically discovered.

but……

Why is there another [Sealed Golden Cabinet]?
Could it be that there is a card sealed inside that will take some time to be taken out?
Lu You smiled. This was just a guess based on the effect of the Golden Cabinet. After seeing the Black Card Brick Seal of the Dark Duelist, he suddenly became interested in similar effects. However, he still had doubts whether the Golden Cabinet could do this...

hum-

Just as this thought popped up in Lu You's mind, he suddenly saw a golden box appear in front of him.

The surface of the box is engraved with intricate patterns, as well as the familiar Millennium Eye symbol.

However, the lid was tightly closed, and it seemed that there was indeed something sealed inside.

No way?
Lu You was stunned. His guess seemed to have come true. But what was inside? Other components of Exodia?

But all the parts are here, there shouldn't be any missing...

Just as Lu You was thinking, Zheng Qiao put the suitcase on the bench next to him with a look of joy on his face. Lu You had indeed established a connection with the Dark Wizard, even closer than resonance.

Perhaps this deck should be given to Lu You for safekeeping.

However, the process still needs to be followed.

"Lu You, this deck of [Exodia] is a card that was discovered not long ago. The academy has been looking for a suitable duelist, so I thought of you."

"By the way, the excavation of the ruins has not yet been completed. Perhaps there will be new discoveries. Let's first decide on the candidate for this construction."

"Two candidates will be selected from within the academy. One of them is you, Lu You, and the other one..."

Zheng Qiao turned sideways, revealing the boy standing behind him.

"That's him, Fang Lang."

pat-

Fang Lang came quickly to Lu You with a bright smile on his face. He was wearing the college uniform and seemed not to have joined any club yet, but a familiar medal on his chest caught Lu You's attention.

That is the medal for the top student in the first grade.

Is this the leader among this year's freshmen?

"Fang Lang signed the highest-level contract with the academy with a perfect score. He is a one-in-a-million genius in dueling skills, and he can resonate with Exodia."

"So the academy intends to let Fang Lang use the Dark Master to build it, but now..."

Genius? Can you still resonate?
Lu You looked at Fang Lang, thought for a moment and suddenly said:

"You are using... is it a heavy-duty deck?"

"You, how did you know?"

Fang Lang was a little surprised. He was also watching the national competition, and had watched all the games related to Lu You, as well as the videos circulating in the college. He was quite impressed by Lu You's construction ability.

But I didn't expect that the other party could accurately describe the characteristics of his deck as soon as we met.

Did Lu You see his duel?

impossible!

Lu You should have been on the field during this period and never returned to the academy. He also rarely showed his deck in large-scale duel competitions, so it was basically impossible to know in advance.

That’s amazing! Is this the real number one in the academy?
I really want to duel with him...

Fang Lang was extremely excited. Ever since he won the championship, he had frequently challenged senior students in qualifying matches, but he was somewhat dissatisfied with the opponent's level.

Perhaps only the recognized number one in front of him could allow him to experience a hearty duel.

"Yes, I am using the heavy pit construction."

"Senior Lu You is amazing. How did you figure that out? I shouldn't have exposed myself in front of you."

Hong Qian, who was following behind Lu You, glanced at Fang Lang and couldn't help but curl her lips.

Is there any need to guess?

That sunny smile is obviously made of good material, but there is still some gap compared with Lu You. After all, Lu You's smile is already engraved in the soul.

No matter what the situation, I can smile skillfully.

"intuition."

Lu You also smiled. The other party's innocent expression was exactly the same as his cousin's. Plus, he could resonate with Exodia. What else could it be but a serious trap?
But regardless of whether the other party can resonate with him or not, he has decided to build this Exodia deck.

"Lu You, it's rare for you to come back, do you want to go to the qualifying competition?"

"To be honest, ever since you participated in the national competition, there has been a new trend in the qualifying competition. Everyone wants to complete the FTK in the first attack. Various operations have emerged one after another, but the success rate is very low."

"Perhaps you can teach them a lesson."

Zheng Qiao closed the briefcase. He knew that the ownership of this deck would not be easy to decide, so he deliberately brought up the ranking competition to give both sides a channel to compete for the deck.

No matter what, strength is absolute in the dueling world.

Even though he had long felt that Lu You was the most suitable to hold the Dark Wizard, the process still had to be followed. The final ownership of this deck would naturally be determined by the result of the duel, so that the academy's top management could be convinced.

"Forget about the classes, but I can participate in the qualifying competition once..."

Lu You did not refuse, and there was no risk of him leaking the competition structure in advance.

"Then, Senior Lu You, would you like to compete with me?"

Just as Zheng Qiao was considering his words, Fang Lang took the initiative to issue a challenge. After all, it was not easy to have an opportunity to duel with the academy's chief, a strong man who had made it all the way through the national competition.

"I heard that Senior Lu You likes gambling, so how about we bet on the ownership of the construction of [Exodia]?"

Take the initiative to go to the gambling table?
What is this operation?
Hong Qian immediately realized that this proposal directly hit Lu You's pain point and there was no reason to refuse it.

Even Zheng Qiao was quite surprised. It seemed that Fang Lang had studied Lu You's dueling style, but he overlooked a crucial point...

Lu You has never lost a bet!
"Since it has come to this, I will definitely not refuse."

"Finally, someone took the initiative to ask me to gamble..."

Lu You smiled and took out the duel disk from his backpack.

Hong Qian: “…”

And at this moment...

Zheng Qiao hurriedly picked up the briefcase and led a few people towards the qualifying round. He had no idea how things had developed to this point and inexplicably turned into a card group betting duel.

Lu You is currently participating in national competitions and is considered a semi-public figure. If news of a gambling card deck duel in the academy were to reveal now, it might have a negative impact on subsequent competitions.

It would be better to keep the construction of [Exodia] secret and treat it as a normal ranking match.

pat-

Several people followed Zheng Qiao and walked towards the qualifying competition building.

……

However, the news of Lu You's return had already spread throughout the college, and students even skipped classes and came to the qualifying building to visit Lu You's qualifying.

Most people’s construction abilities are limited, so the best way to complete FTK is to watch Lu You’s duel.

Then copy, imitate, and even surpass... What's more, Lu You's opponent is a recognized genius among the first-year students, so this qualifying competition cannot be missed.

"Isn't Lu You preparing for the finals of the national competition? Why did he suddenly return to the academy?"

"Haha, each game uses a different build. If you were in my shoes, would you choose to collect information about Lu You? It makes no sense at all!"

"As for the pre-match preparations... with Lu You's construction ability, it should have been completed long ago."

"As for the reason for returning to the academy, I guess it has something to do with the newly discovered cards... Never mind, stop guessing and just focus on the game!"

now……

The highest-level duel arena for the qualifying round was opened, and in a moment the viewing area was filled with spectators. Those who couldn't squeeze into the room could also watch the live broadcast through the internal network.

Lu You and Fang Lang were seen standing on the duel stage, with the skylight above their heads opening up, revealing a dazzling light.

Zheng Qiao was standing not far away with a suitcase, and Hong Qian and Yang Rong were standing beside him.

"Ms. Hong Qian, why are you following Lu You all the time? Is there any danger?"

"That's right..."

Hong Qian sighed. Dark duelists were emerging in various parts of the country, and the light of the universe was watching covetously. The situation had long been out of control, and the only way to be safe was to stay with Lu You.

"Where does the danger come from? At least let the students be prepared in advance..."

Zheng Qiao looked solemn. The college had been attacked frequently in recent years and now it had finally stabilized. He didn't want any students to get hurt.

"Dark Duelist... Light of the Universe, I will send you the details. There is no point in preparing in advance. Remember to ask for help as soon as possible..."

This was all Hong Qian could say, after all, she herself was in danger.

Zheng Qiao nodded quickly.

As the external environment worsened, he felt more and more that the suitcase in his hand was heavy.

It's time again for the era where only those with absolute strength can survive...

Click——

The stadium preparations have been completed and the match between the two sides is about to begin.

Lu You casually pulled out a deck from the card box on his back. On the way here, he temporarily constructed a deck that should be enough to deal with this game.

In order to ensure victory in the final, he is determined to win [Exodia].

drop!
The next moment, a countdown appeared, which was the final preparation time for both sides.

Lu You had no intention of modifying the deck, but Fang Lang suddenly pulled out a few cards and stuffed them into the deck, an excited smile on his face.

Since he is facing Lu You, he must give it his all!

Although I don't want to expose the complete build in front of so many people, there is no other way...

Fang Lang was excited. He knew that Lu You was the leader in heavy pit construction, but if his deck could suppress or even defeat the opponent...

Want to win!

Must win 1
He had been known as a genius since he was a child. He could easily defeat his opponents in duels, and even becoming the first-year champion of the academy did not take much effort. But now, he was facing an insurmountable wall.

This was the first time Fang Lang felt like a challenger.

next moment……

Lu You suddenly drew out his initial hand of cards and shouted at the same time as Fang Lang:

"duel!"

brush--

Lu You looked down at the cards he had drawn. The resource allocation was okay, but there were too many hand pits.

But it doesn’t matter, since he drew the White Forest monster, which can be deployed with one card, and the requirements for the opponent’s card resources are not high.

Fang Lang also looked at his hand with a smile. Except for the only monster, the others were all red trap cards.

If he wants to gain an advantage, the right to attack first is naturally essential, but if his opponent is Lu You, it would be very difficult for him to attack first.

Ding--

I saw the familiar and simple coin thrown into the air and tumbled to the ground.

In full view of everyone, the coin fell to the ground with a crisp sound of collision. According to the result of the toss, Lu You started the first attack round.

really……

Fang Lang was not surprised, and his attack could be activated.

brush--

After obtaining the right to attack first, Lu You immediately drew a card and put it on the duel disk, starting his first attack round.

"First, I summon [Asteria of the White Forest] in Attack Position!"

hum-

The next moment, a petite girl wearing a hood appeared on the scene, holding a magic book in her arms and wearing a monocle in her eye sockets.

"Send 1 Spell or Trap Card from your hand or field to the Graveyard, and Special Summon 1 Sorcerer-Type Light Attribute Adjustment Card from your Deck!"

"I choose to special summon [Sen'er of the White Forest] from the deck!"

brush--

Lu You sent a magic card in his hand to the graveyard, and then immediately retrieved the declared monster.

It was a girl riding on the back of a gray wolf, wearing a dress and long boots. Even the soft shawl could not hide her beautiful figure.

Since it is a Tuner Monster, it can be Synchro Summoned immediately after it appears on the scene.

"When this card is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned successfully, add 1 [White Forest] Magic or Trap Card from your Deck to your Hand!"

"I choose to add [Legend of the White Forest] to my hand!"

brush--

Lu You immediately retrieved the declared card and used it as his House Magic. When a monster's effect is activated and the card is sent to the Graveyard, this card can be placed face down on the field.

What Lu You has to do now is to perform the Synchro Summon of [White Forest].

"Next, I will use the 2-star [Asteria of the White Forest] and the 4-star [Sen'er of the White Forest] on the field to adjust the stars!"

"Synchronous Summon..."

"【The Demonic Nature of the White Forest - Blood Bat】!"

hum-

When Lu You finished speaking, the two monsters in front of him turned into rings and stars, together forming a road to the future. When the dazzling light faded, an enchanting and devilish woman appeared on the scene.

The woman had long blood-red legs, three bat wings spread out behind her, the ends of her pale long hair were dyed scarlet, and her eyes were particularly charming and sharp.

"When this card is Special Summoned, send 1 Spell or Trap Card from your hand or field to the Graveyard, and add 1 [White Forest] card or 1 Sorcerer-Type Light monster from your Deck to your hand!"

"I will send the [Legend of the White Forest] in my hand to the graveyard..."

"Add [Disaster of the White Forest] from your deck to your hand!" (End of this chapter)
