I'm in Yu-Gi-Oh!, but I'm also in Machine Ascension.

He smiled again and said, "The duelist who bears the God Card also needs to have very strong power. Summoning it to the field is a very challenging thing."

"As duelists, we are not without a chance to win..."

"Compared to that, having more confidence in your deck and always having the confidence to win is far more important!"

Under Youfeng's deep gaze, Kongque Wu nodded slightly:

"Okay, I understand, Youfeng. Well then, let me keep doing my best, and see you at the finals!"

But the next second, after hearing Yuuki's voice, Jonouchi also looked into the distance, his brows furrowing slightly as if he had sensed something:

"I seem to sense a hint of the game... The God Card... It might be related to the game."

...

Afterwards, the group continued their duels in Tongye City, winning several matches in a row.

Finally, the three of them met up again at the agreed location.

"I've already qualified for the Duel City Top 8... Yuuki, Mai, how are things going with you guys?!"

Accompanied by Katsuya Jonouchi's excited voice, Mai smiled and waved the six chips she had collected in her hands:

"Of course. If even you, Jōnei, can get the chip, how could Yūfū not be able to?"

Faced with Mai's smile, Jonouchi scratched his head and muttered a complaint, "Mai, what are you saying..."

Then, with piercing eyes, she looked at the boy in the denim jacket in front of her—Youfeng.

...

Youfeng quickly smiled and nodded:

"Yes, indeed... Next, we can have a formal showdown with Jonouchi, Yugi, and Mai in the final rounds."

Besides wanting to see what Jonouchi would look like, Yuuki was also very interested in having a thrilling duel with both forms of Yugi Muto.

After all, the game now features a significantly stronger Sky Dragon...

Thinking of this, Yufeng immediately thought of Seto Kaiba, who possessed the [Obelisk the Tormentor], and added with a smile:

"And there's Seto Kaiba, I also have a card game to play against him."

Upon hearing this name from Yuufu's mouth, Jonouchi Katsuya instantly raised his fist:

"Hmph, that guy Kaiba? If I ever run into him, I'll definitely teach him a lesson."

...

But soon, just as Jonouchi Katsuya seemed to still harbor resentment towards Kaiba Seto for his previous disdain,

Immediately following behind, a rough yet authoritative voice rang out:

"No, you, as a mere mortal, are not worthy."

Seto Kaiba, president of the Kaiba Corporation, with his long orange hair, was wearing a handsome white cape. He seemed to have just finished a long duel, and there was a slight hint of fatigue in his eyes.

After giving Jonouchi Katsuya a slightly indifferent look, he raised his head and looked at the six chips that Yuuki had gathered in his hand.

"...Hmm...Just as I expected, he really advanced? Not bad...Yufeng..."

After giving a rare, appreciative, slightly smiling look, Seto Kaiba nodded slightly to Yuuka and slowly chose to leave.

"Hmm...you're Yufeng? You're certainly a duelist worth looking forward to."

Following closely behind Seto Kaiba, a short boy with long blue hair wearing a yellow vest also looked up at Yuuki with great curiosity.

"However... my brother will definitely defeat you, because he now has a very powerful trump card."

Soon, under Kaiba Keihei's unwavering gaze... at the same time, watching Kaiba Seto's departing figure, Jonouchi was instantly enraged, waving his arms and shouting:

"Seto Kaiba, just you wait! I'll be the first to defeat you!"

But the next second...

As Seto Kaiba's younger brother, Keihei Kaiba is much more gentle and approachable than his aloof and arrogant older brother, but at this moment, he still shook his head with utter disdain when facing Katsuya Jonouchi:

"It's useless in the castle. You're still hundreds of years away from defeating your brother!"

...

Since there was still some time left in the next stage of the competition, and accompanied by Katsuya Jonouchi's indignant voice, the three of them temporarily went to a coffee shop to rest.

While Jonouchi was enthusiastically exchanging deck information with Mai, Yuuka, who had chosen to sit in the corner, immediately opened his system page.

Soon, a clear and melodious voice immediately rang in his mind:

[Congratulations, host, on successfully collecting all 6 chips and entering the final 8 of the Duel City Tournament! Your reward is now being issued: Reverse Electron Flow Basic Construction!]

25. You're an Oscar winner, aren't you, Malik?

Along with the reward notification, a card pack, which still used the Machine race pattern as its background but clearly carried a dark message, immediately appeared in front of Youfeng.

"So it really was issued? The construction of the electron flow."

Soon, with a look of surprise on his face, Youfeng immediately opened the card pack, and one by one, the cards that seemed to depict the dark version of the Cyber ​​Dragon series monsters were displayed in Youfeng's palm.

It includes not only Machine-type monsters but also some powerful Dragon-type monsters, which together form the foundation of this powerful deck.

Just as Youfeng was flipping through monster cards one after another, each gaining new power, a crimson monster card with clear [Fusion] implications immediately shone brightly before Youfeng, appearing with a high rarity:

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Cyber ​​Flow Fusion Monster card - Silver Shard SER quality 8-star Machine-Type monster Armored Black Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark Dragon]

[Armored Black Dragon-Electronic Dark Dragon]

[Star rating: 8]

[Attribute: Dark]

[Race: Mechanical]

[Attack power: 1000]

[Defense: 1000]

"Very good, so it's an electronic dragon that has officially begun its struggle after falling into darkness? It is indeed extremely powerful!"

Soon, in the instant he was very satisfied with this powerful [Fusion] monster card, Yufeng also carefully flipped through the deck again. The key [Normal Spell] card belonging to the core of the [Cyber] style immediately appeared in front of Yufeng: [Power Weld].

"Yes, I've got this card too. Now, the meaning of Cyber ​​Dragon's pursuit of the ultimate is even more substantial."

After revealing a satisfied smile, Youfeng immediately put the magic card into his card box. He then combined this complete set of [Secret Cyber ​​Flow] basic construction with his original [Cyber ​​Dragon] deck to create a "Synchronized Cyber ​​Flow" deck.

...

Just then, Jonouchi Katsuya, who had also finished organizing his deck, glanced at his watch, his expression instantly changing as he cried out in alarm, grabbing Yuuki's arm:

“Oh no, Yufeng… Xingzi promised to bring us bento boxes, and she specifically told us to bring you along.”

"I completely forgot about it!"

Soon, after Jonouchi covered his face and made a remorseful expression, he quickly ran towards a park-like area not far away.

The two of them quickened their pace without realizing it, but soon, when Masaki Kyoko saw Jonouchi's figure in the distance, her expression instantly turned angry:

"Within the castle, do you have absolutely no concept of time?!"

Amidst Kyoko's slightly reproachful voice, she also looked behind the two with a hint of surprise, "Huh?! Where's the game? Isn't it here?"

"Hmm...it looks like they're probably having a duel..."

Jonouchi nodded and briefly recounted his series of victories in duels, during which he and Yugi Muto drifted further and further apart.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it..."

After scrutinizing Jonouchi for a few seconds, Masaki Kyoko, with her chestnut-brown short hair, sighed slightly and nodded.

"Well then, you two can eat your bento boxes first..."

The moment Youfeng opened the lunchbox, he could clearly smell the aroma of carefully cooked food, and a simple yet delicious dish immediately appeared before his eyes.

"Mmm, it smells so good, it looks delicious."

Soon, accompanied by Yufeng's exclamation, Masaki Kyoko immediately and considerately handed over chopsticks.

...

At that very moment, Katsuya Jonouchi immediately took the pink phone from Kyoko Masaki and excitedly called his younger sister, who was undergoing surgery at the hospital:

"Hey, Shizuka! I'm telling you, you have to take good care of yourself in the hospital. I've already passed the preliminary selection for the duel and entered the finals."

"Soon, we'll achieve final victory, and then... we'll get the prize money."

“…”

Soon, Yuuka, who was eating heartily with his chopsticks, also felt the excitement that Katsuya Jounouchi had expected, as well as the overwhelming doting affection he had for his younger sister, and couldn't help but sigh slightly:

"I didn't expect Jonouchi... to have such a deep bond with his sister..."

As Yuuki Yuuki spoke, Masaki Kyoko nodded at Jonouchi Katsuya, whose expression had been excited, and smiled:

“Yufeng, don’t let Cheng Nei’s usual carefree attitude fool you; Haiqing is actually quite meticulous in this regard.”

"I came to participate in this duel city competition to win the prize money to treat my sister's illness; in a way..."

"Jounouchi is quite an admirable fellow."

"..."

But soon, Masaki Kyoko's kind smile at the "yellow-haired" boy froze on her lips.

In his extreme excitement, Jonouchi threw the pink phone that belonged to Masaki Kyoko far away.

"Hey!!! Jonouchi, you don't appreciate this at all—this is my phone!"

"You really can't take praise!"

Accompanied by Masaki Kyoko's very dissatisfied voice, Jonouchi Katsuya, realizing he had "caused trouble," smiled sheepishly and said somewhat embarrassedly:

"Well, it's all because I'm so happy..."
