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

Chapter 77 Speed ​​76 The Secret Technique of the Extreme Ice Flow
E29 District, Kajiki Street, No. 767.

You Qing, wearing new clothes, rode the D wheel to this place again. This was the Jibingliu gym.

The quaint wooden buildings bear mottled traces of time, and the plaques and doorposts are very old, but they are wiped clean every day and look as good as new.

You Qing parked the D wheel and walked to the door of the gym. Before he could knock on the door, he smelled a strong aroma of medicine.

“Dong Dong Dong——————————————”

You Qing hesitated for a moment and knocked on the door gently, but no one responded, so he knocked a few more times.

"I'm coming!!!"

It was a somewhat lazy young man with a smoke-and-drink voice. Slow footsteps were heard from behind the door. The door lock turned, and a young man with messy ice-blue hair and dark circles under his eyes poked his head out. His tone was very impatient.

"I've already told you! We pay our utility bills on the 20th of every month. Why are you always pushing us to pay in advance?!"

These days, in order to study dueling skills, Tianguang Wulan stayed up late almost every night. Someone knocked on the door early this morning. Even though he had already gotten up, he was still a little anxious because he was physically and mentally exhausted.

He looked at You Qing with a very unfriendly look, and when he found out that he was not the one collecting the water and electricity bills, he seemed to become even more impatient. But when he noticed the D wheel behind You Qing and the card necklace on his chest, Tianguang Wulan was stunned immediately, and suddenly woke up from his drowsy state, opening his mouth in astonishment.

"You, you, you are..." Tianguang Wulan suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Okay, Wu Lan, go and look after your sister first." The monk came from behind him. When he saw You Qing standing here safe and sound, a faint smile appeared on his old face.

Tianguang Wulan paused for a moment, walked back into the house with mixed feelings, and went to check the medicine for his sister.

"Come in, Mr. You Qing." The monk nodded slightly and led the guest in.

A few minutes later, in the reception room of the Jibingliu Dojo, a pot of tea boiled, and You Qing and Sengzheng began to talk.

You Qing expressed his sincere gratitude to the monk. Without the monk's reminder, they would never have been able to survive last night's disaster. Now that they were able to escape unscathed, it can be said that it was all thanks to the monk's connections and information.

The monk skillfully brewed the tea and shook his head, saying, "Being able to escape from such a situation shows that you possess unique abilities. An ordinary duelist would probably not be able to escape."

The tea poured into the cup with a "clatter", and You Qing took it with thanks.

The monk continued, "Next week, the High-Speed ​​Duel Tournament will be held. Now that that young man named Decade has escaped to Shindo Mino City, I'm sure you've become even more obsessed with winning this tournament!"

You Qing did not deny it: "Yes, I want to get the qualification to go to New Tongshiye City and find Dickade. After all, he got into trouble in order to save me."

"Also, I will fulfill my promise and bring the Ice Barrier Dragon, Light Spear Dragon, to the duel!"

"If it's okay, Mr. Director, I can also declare myself a duelist from the Extreme Ice Stream."

"You saved me this time, and there aren't many ways I can repay you..."

The abbot took a sip of tea and said slowly, "I'm not the director. The director caught a cold yesterday due to the heavy rain and is still ill. She must be very eager to see you, but please forgive her illness." Mr. Monk...

Isn't he the curator?
You Qing was stunned for a moment.

So what should the director of the Polar Ice Flow be called?
Could it be the magic weapon, Penglai, or Mandala?
But suddenly, he noticed the portraits on the tea room wall. Based on his memory of the cards, those should be the Ice Barrier Tiger Generals he had just thought of, and they seemed to have already...

The monk sighed again and said, "Also, Mr. You Qing, to be honest, both the director and I hope you can join the Jibing School. After all, the Jibing School has been short of talent for a long time and really needs talents like you, but..."

You Qing sat up straighter and waited for the monk to continue.

After these brief contacts and some understanding, he knew that Jibingliu was an upright duel gym.

Now that I have just arrived, the card deck I use is just the next-generation one I bought from the black market. If I can really inherit the Extreme Ice Flow and obtain the Ice Barrier card deck, it will be a great improvement for me.

Helping Ji Bingliu increase his influence by winning the game is just adding an extra mission to the duel. There is nothing wrong with doing this to repay Mr. Seng Zheng.

But what exactly is Mr. Sengzheng worried about?

"Honestly, the decline of the Ice Style isn't solely due to the Zero Point Reversal incident or the changing times," the abbot said with a hint of regret. "Ever since the tenth generation of Yujo, the Ice Style has maintained a rule requiring its disciples to be duelists capable of communicating with spirits."

"While being able to communicate with spirits seems to only affect the Duelist's upper limit, the situation with the Ice Flow is special because the cards in this series, Ice Barrier, originate from a secret sealing technique in the spirit world."

"So, only with the Guardian Dragon's approval can one freely use the Ice Barrier Deck. If one ignores this rule and forcibly uses it, the duelist's soul and mental strength will gradually deplete, as if they were gradually frozen by ice..."

If ordinary people in this world heard these mysterious words, they would definitely be regarded as the crazy talk of this old charlatan.

But Youqing is very familiar with all the previous Yu-Gi-Oh works, and he understands what Mr. Sengzheng means.

As early as the time of Yugi Muto, duel cards were not just duel cards. They were a variation of the mysterious rituals from thousands of years ago, and also a means of summoning fairies from other worlds. Those fairies from other worlds were commonly called "elves".

The vast majority of people cannot see elves, let alone communicate with them, but a small number of people can establish bonds with elves and gain some extraordinary abilities.

For example, the first generation Duel King Yugi Muto, because his bond with the Ace Dark Magician spans a full three thousand years, he can draw it from the deck at any time as long as he wants.

At the same time, the Dark Mage will also derive some special cards based on his own elf spells, such as: Thousand Blades, Death Magic Box, or other Dark Mage forms...

Therefore, without the help of card elves, ordinary people can certainly become duelists, but the upper limit of their strength must be far inferior to these geniuses recognized by the elves.

As for soul and mental strength...

That's another similar but slightly different concept.
