Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: Duelists Beyond Light

half a month later.

In the heart of New Domino City, colorful fireworks illuminated the sky above a giant arena built specifically for this tournament!

It resembles a fortress woven from steel and technology, with towering grandstands surrounding a wide track, and different tracks intersecting to connect to the Daedalus Bridge, forming the arena for duelists to compete.

In the sky, a giant holographic projection screen continuously switched between information and promotional images of the participating teams.

The WRGP logo, representing the World Riding - Duel Grand Prix, shines brightly, attracting the attention of dueling enthusiasts from all over the world.

The area around the stadium was bustling with people, and cheers and shouts filled the air.

Excitement and anticipation were evident on everyone's faces.

As the rousing music began, the host's voice resonated throughout the entire stadium via the loudspeaker system:

"ladies and gentlemen!"

"The long-awaited World Ride Fighting Championship (WRGP) is now officially open!!"

"The excitement that surpasses even the Lucky Cup is back in New Domino City!!"

In an instant, fireworks burst forth once more around the stadium, their vibrant colors illuminating the entire city!

Amidst cheers from the crowd, the host shouted the announcement:
"This is a memorable dueling tournament held in the birthplace of Moment!!"

"The preliminary rounds of this tournament, which are attracting worldwide attention, will be held at various venues in Shin-Domino City!!"

"No matter which media platform you log into, you can see all the live matches and replays of the duels!!"

"And this memorial loop track, which once hosted the Lucky Cup, will become the main venue for the A-zone preliminary rounds!!"

"Now, let's welcome the two teams for the first match of today's Zone A tournament!!"

"The first team is the Fire&Flowers&Clear team, led by Yu Qing, the dueling king of New Domino City!!"

"Although this is the first time this team has participated in a high-speed team-based dueling competition, I believe that with the Duel King—You Qing—on their side, they will definitely deliver a very exciting and outstanding performance!!!"

A wave of enthusiastic cheers and shouts swept over us.

Yu Qing, Yan Chenghai, Shirley Leblanc, and Hanster stood on the stage waving, welcoming the applause and cheers that belonged to them.

"Hoo..." Yan Chenghai swallowed hard. He, who was usually thick-skinned, actually seemed a little nervous at this moment.

Shirley LeBlanc said, "Hmph, weren't you very confident during training yesterday? Now your legs are trembling again? Are you going to wet your pants again?"

Yan Chenghai's face fell, and he loudly protested, "I already said, that was wine that day!!"

Hearing the two bickering, You Qing and Hanster simply smiled.

At this moment, their opponents in today's race walked onto the stage from the other side. Their racing suits were all gray and white, and their helmets were relatively square, giving them a very old-fashioned technological feel.

"And the other team that will be fighting against our King is Team Cyber, composed of three outstanding duelists from the Cyber ​​Stream Gym!!"

"This is also the first time Team Electronics has participated in a team-based high-speed duel tournament!!"

"But it's worth mentioning that each of their three players has achieved remarkable results in international competitions!"

"Among them, Hikaru Marufuji won the North American Fantasy Cup six times in a row!!"

"I wonder what kind of sparks will fly between the King of North America and the King of New Domino City today!!"

"Both teams, please prepare. The match will begin in fifteen minutes!!!"

Hikaru Marufuji? !

The name caught You Qing's attention. He looked towards the other side of the group and found that the leader of the group did indeed resemble a face from his memory.

However, Marufuji Hikaru didn't glance in their direction. After the host introduced both sides, they left first.

The match officially begins from the preparation stage, because the WRGP tournament will adopt a special team relay high-speed duel rule. All three duelists in the team may participate in the match, so the captain must arrange the order of appearance of the three duelists in a reasonable way.

Near the starting line, You Qing's gaze became profound.

After thinking about it for a while, he made a decision.

Yan Chenghai ranked first, Shirley Leblanc second, and himself third.

The basic rules of the WRGP tournament are as follows: the three members of a team take turns dueling. When the first duelist's LP reaches zero, the current turn ends immediately, and the second duelist enters the stage to start a new turn. The team's SPC and cards on the field are inherited, while other resources are discarded...

Yan Chenghai's deck is a typical fast-paced, damage-dealing deck. Once the opponent's tactics are implemented, it will be put on the defensive. Therefore, making him the first card is the best choice.

Shirley Leblanc's blonde hair fluttered in the wind as she stood beside the starting line, watching the support staff affix name tags to Yan Chenghai's arm, and she sneered with a hint of arrogance:
"You better be of some use."

"If You Qing hadn't insisted on bringing you into the team, I wouldn't have wanted to take you along as a burden!"

Shirley Leblanc participated in the WRGP tournament with a unique purpose, so perhaps she values ​​her ranking in this competition more than Enjo Mukuro does.

"A burden?!"

"hehe!!"

"Taking down those three guys is no problem for me alone!!"

Yan Chenghai is no longer nervous.

He has always longed to prove his worth as a duelist through major competitions.

Now, he finally had this opportunity. Excitement and elation gradually filled his heart. His desire for victory, and the immense effort he had put in to get to where he was today, were in no way inferior to Shirley LeBlanc's!
"The first runners from both sides are now in position at the starting line!!"

Amidst the anticipation of everyone, the host shouted loudly.

"The first team to turn the corner will gain the initiative in the duel!!"

"Alright, now, let the match begin!!"

"Riding Duel!! Acceleration!!!"

[Flame City Corpse, LP: 4000]

【Jiri Totik, LP: 4000】

"Boom!"

Yan Chenghai's D-Wheel roared with extreme power, perfectly complementing Hanster's modifications to this speed-type D-Wheel!

The engine roared to life, and Yan Chenghai's speed increased dramatically!

In the blink of an eye, he rounded the first bend and, amidst cheers, took the lead!

"Ha! You're too slow, kid!!" Yan Chenghai shouted behind him, "My first strike! Draw a card!!"

"Send Skeleton Commander from your hand to the graveyard!!"

Special Summon up to two Zombie Monsters from your hand with a combined ATK of 2000!

"bring it on!!"

"Regenerating zombies and burning skulls!!"

"Activate the burning skull effect!!"

"If this card is Special Summoned from your hand, inflict 1000 effect damage to your opponent!!!" (End of Chapter)
