Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: The Path of Evolution

Defeat the elite duelist.

[Rewards: 5 Dragon Riders themed card packs, 5 Trap themed card packs]

Hearing the cold system notification in his mind, Guan Bai slowly walked towards Yamashiro Gangyuan, who was lying on the ground.

Bypassing the scattered cement and bricks, Guan Bai walked to the side of the man who had been completely defeated, squatted down, and pulled an entire deck from his duel disk.

This gives Kanpaku another option for his deck.

Of course, he didn't think he would have the opportunity to use it.

Maybe I'll take a few to sell for some money?

Forget it, as a duelist, who would complain about having too many cards?

To be honest, although it started out as a game for fun, Kanpaku is now reaping the benefits of this kind of hunting.

Not only can it help you swipe your card wallet, but it can also quickly collect various rare cards.

Perhaps I should normalize this practice of hunting for rare cards?

However, the problem is different in this respect. Where can Kanpaku find so many lone, evil duelists?

Go back and ask Joel if she has any information on this.

Thinking this, Guan Bai got up and walked towards the Gray Snake Studio.

He quickly disappeared into the dark alleyway.

……

Satellite area, a shantytown along the river.

Arata Enya is practicing his card-drawing skills here.

This is a practice he started doing the day he got the deck, and he hasn't stopped doing it to this day.

However, he is not just training now, but also trying to relieve some inexplicable feelings in his heart.

This was his first defeat.

It was also the first time he had encountered such a powerful duelist.

The man I met today, the guy named Kanpaku, is terrifyingly powerful!

When I was dueling with that Kanpaku, it seemed like he had completely figured out my deck, and every attack seemed to be exactly what he expected.

Before the cemetery resources could be accumulated, he was forced to unleash the True Flame to save his life.

Thinking back to that defeat, what now occupies Yanwu Xin's mind is a feeling called the desire to challenge.

I want to become stronger!

I want to surpass him!

This feeling drove him to continue his dueling training.

Speaking of which, that Kanpaku once said he possessed terrifying power...

Yanwu Xin recalled Guan Bai's instructions in his mind, so he decided to test it on the water.

"Summon, Hellhound of Inferno, Lava Bullet!"

As he snapped the card, the lava-bodied hound leaped out and spewed a lava ball at the water's surface.

The lava ball flew at high speed, quickly exceeding the signal range of the virtual image, yet it remained visible. When it struck the water, even the fiery house on the shore could see the splash.

Um... let's add strength control to the training program later...

Yanwu Xin thought to himself, realizing that he might have awakened some kind of extraordinary power.

But then he thought of something else.

That Kanpaku-san was able to emerge unscathed from such immense power and even defeat me despite the damage!

How did he do that?

It feels like Kanpaku's strength has increased to another level... He's truly an exciting and powerful figure!

……

The satellite area has relatively clean and tidy streets.

On the top floor of a building that was still barely intact, the lights were still on in one of the apartments.

Miyako is right here; he's preparing for the match the day after tomorrow.

Not knowing who will advance, he now has to devise strategies for all the remaining players' decks, considering all possible factors.

The opponent in the semifinals... Allen... Scrap metal deck... Past performance...

The printed documents next to him had piled up into a small mountain, and there were two decks on the table that had been modified again and again.

Kouji Torado typed furiously, constantly searching for information about his opponents.

Gather all information about your opponent, including their background, upbringing, duels, and deck information.

Both psychological tactics and targeted duels must be taken into account.

Only in this way can he obtain the optimal solution for victory.

He came from the city to this lowly satellite district, not to lose!

This underground competition cannot afford to fail. Through inside information, Lai Gong already knows who the top-tier investment tycoon is!

This duel is his ladder to the top, a ladder to contact important figures and those at the very top!

The biggest obstacle to all of this is the person that Miyako Torado hates the most—the Regent.

This guy is someone that Lai Gong can't understand at all. His past life experiences seem to have never existed, and not a single character can be found in them.

All that is known is that he suddenly appeared in the Satellite District and then became active as a duelist for the Gray Serpent Gang.

There are few duel records, little information about his background, and little personality analysis!

Damn it...

These kinds of people are the hardest to deal with!

Lai Gong continued typing on the keyboard, relentlessly searching for the weakness of his formidable enemy.

……

Satellite Zone, Gray Serpent Studio.

The real culprit that's keeping many people awake tonight is currently lounging with its legs crossed, enjoying a glass of juice.

Guan Bai has already asked Joel about this.

The response was that the idea of ​​a hunting operation was interesting, but it wasn't easy to come up with a list of animals to be hunted.

Most duelists with notorious records keep themselves very well hidden.

These days, who isn't afraid of seeking revenge?

Imagine yourself humming a tune as you walk down the street, and suddenly someone comes looking for you with a deck of cards, seeking revenge and a duel.

Even a layman would be helpless in such a situation, let alone duelists.

Those who roam the Satellite Zone in the middle of the night are either rare characters with top-tier strength in the Satellite Zone, or truly stupid and wicked trash.

The former is hard to find, and the latter is too much trouble to look for.

"So to find suitable hunting targets, we still need to go through a lot of specialized information channels."

When Joel said these words, her expression didn't match the serious analysis in her words at all; clearly, she was also very interested in Kanpaku's idea of ​​"hunting evil duelists."

So what's your decision?

Guan Bai asked in return with a smile.

"Of course I joined! You know, my first dream was to become the strongest sidekick next to a superhero fighting crime!"

Guan Bai was ashamed.

I thought you wanted to be a superhero, but it turns out you're more of a behind-the-scenes character like the Duel Manager.

Just how much do you enjoy doing logistics?

"Anyway, I've gone to gather information. Don't expect the list to be available anytime soon, since my connections aren't that efficient."

Joel got up, spun around, and glided into the innermost room like an ice skater.

Guan Bai said loudly.

"Get me a copy of the information on those loitering nobody too, okay? I don't discriminate when it comes to duelist hunting!"

Farming low-level minions to get card packs is much faster than farming high-level opponents!

The former allows for immediate use and quick attacks, while the latter requires players to engage in basic strategic maneuvering.

"knew--"

Joel's arias are still as unbearable as ever, but this time, since I've made her work for me to gather information, I can temporarily give her a no-criticism card.

Guan Bai stretched and focused his consciousness on the system interface.

Now, let's start opening card packs!
