Yu-Gi-Oh!: This card wants to go to you.

Page 146

"Nothing's happened in half an hour, so Teacher Bai must have locked in the score."

"If we lose three games in a row, we'll definitely drop out of the top ten, so we need to be careful."

"Impossible! An idol would never desert his post. He must have gone to sleep!"

"What the hell?! The golden-headed guy went to sleep during the last hour..."

【Ding】

A crisp notification sound rang out, and Chen Xinxin exclaimed in surprise, "It's here! It's here!"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Those in the open and those in the shadows, black pieces and white pieces, snipers, those checking addresses... all perked up.

"Oh--"

Chen Xinxin shouted excitedly, "Teacher Bai has been matched!"

"Let's go for first place!"

Let's get the atmosphere going first.

...

【噔】

Match successful

Luo Bai was slightly disappointed that no surprise doubles notification popped up; he could only get the base score of 1,000 points this round.

"Wow—"

A flash of white light.

The dueling arena is an island where the seawater constantly crashes against the rocks and sandy beach, creating spectacular waves. The sea breeze caresses your face, bringing coolness and moisture, while seagulls circle and soar in the air, calling out joyfully.

"A blasphemer?" Ling Hui asked tentatively.

He dared not say too much, for fear of revealing his identity.

"Huh?" Luo Bai was completely bewildered by the question and couldn't help but sized up his opponent.

He was wearing the default skin - [Black Robe]. He was a man, and the robe fluttered in the sea breeze. Underneath the hood, everything was pitch black, but his eyes flashed with a blue light, as if electricity had passed through them.

"What a strange person."

[Blue side goes first]

[The time for the greeting has ended. Please begin your turn as soon as possible.]

As the cold, mechanical voice of the AI referee faded, the two men's eyes flashed.

Further discussion is pointless!

"Duel!" (X2)

"My turn." Luo Bai glanced at his opponent, then quickly looked at his own hand.

【Sword Priest】, 【Statue of the Deity】, 【Pearl World】, 【Siren Mermaid】, 【Little Mermaid】.

Eighty points!

"Preparation, main point."

There was no red light reaction, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief. There should be no dirt, or maybe he was just quick enough to turn it off at the start.

A wonderful world without [proliferating G]~

You can't predict the deck based on the skin, but that's okay. Just let both sides stack five cards first, and you can do what you need!

"Discard [Sword Priest] to activate the effect of [Deity Statue]. Special Summon this card and search your Deck for one [Reversal of the World and the Underworld] or a card with that name."

As soon as he finished speaking, a red light flashed on the other end, indicating a chain of events. Luo Bai was startled.

"Sometimes?!"

"P head? Or..."

"I've never seen anyone use it before..."

As the score increased, the intensity also increased.

"Special Summon plus Search..." Ling Hui pondered, then muttered, "Chain the [Crimson Light Declarator] in my hand, send this card and [Extraterrestrial Life] to the Graveyard to activate, negate them and destroy [Idol of the Deity]!"

If the counter-attack is successful, it will not only disable the special summon but also the search, resulting in a two-for-two exchange.

"Humph!"

Ling Hui smiled confidently. What appeared to be a two-for-two exchange was actually a graveyard for the extraterrestrial life form...

"【Crimson Light】 was thrown 【Outside the Ground】, damn it..." Luo Bai said reflexively, as if recalling something terrifying. "C3 【Sword Priest】, banish this card to activate, bounce 【Crimson Light】 from your Graveyard back to the Deck!"

"Fool!" Ling Hui scoffed. "Even if [Crimson Light] bounces back to the deck, it won't affect its effect!"

"Who doesn't know that?" Luo Bai retorted, "[Crimson Light] bounces back to the deck, rendering your [Outer Earth] graveyard-sending effect useless!"

"Wh-what!" Ling Hui suddenly looked at his grave area, his eyes almost popping out. His mouth opened, but he couldn't make a sound, and his face was as pale as paper.

【Outer Earth】is a separate chain, and can only be triggered by excluding LIGHT-type Fairy-Type monsters from the Graveyard. The only LIGHT-type Fairy-Type monster, 【Crimson Light】, is bounced, so the search is naturally canceled.

The most terrifying thing is that this "blasphemer" in front of me didn't press the check button.

His reaction was quick and his movements were fluid; this was definitely not the first time he had done this!

"This looks so familiar, could it be...one of our own?!"

When he looked up at Luo Bai again, his gaze was filled with a strange look of horror.

The chain reaction occurs: the Sword God deflects the Crimson Light, rendering it ineffective and destroying the Statues of the Gods.

"You want to retrieve another [Crimson Light] besides [Earth and Heaven]? Hmph!" Luo Bai sneered. "Don't underestimate my intelligence network, [Dragon Radiance Clever]!"

"hiss...!"

After saying this, the two suddenly realized something and both gasped.

Luo Bai thought to himself, if the other side really was [Long Huiqiao], then this would be the first time he had encountered a [mixed axis] in this world, apart from those five or six fields below ten thousand points that were heaven-defying.

After reaching 20,000 points on KC, the decks I encountered were all very pure, with usually no more than three additional cards.

This sudden appearance of [Zhu Guang] dropping [outside the ground] is quite shocking, especially if it's a mix of [Long Huiqiao] and [Announcer].

"Could it be... someone from Earth?"

He's already traveled through time, so it wouldn't be surprising if there were one more.

Thinking of this, Luo Bai's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he stared intently at Ling Hui, and said with a meaningful sarcasm, "Fellow villager?"

The moment the word "fellow villager" was uttered, Ling Hui felt a chill run through his body, and his soul trembled violently!

He knew the meaning of those two words; in the present world, they meant "people from one's hometown." Meeting an old friend in a foreign land was like... two people from the "Sky Sanctuary" meeting in the present world.

This [Blasphemer] before me is truly from the [Sky Sanctuary]!

It's very likely still the [Tianlong Shu]!

His face turned ashen, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, his trembling hands didn't know what to do, his mind was in chaos, and all sorts of guesses popped into his head.

"【Tianlong Shu】is it to be blasphemous?"

"Stand with the rebels?"

"The boss didn't tell me..."

"Could it be a secret mission...?"

His superior, Chu Ming's, words gradually surfaced in his mind: "Aren't you also fighting in KC?"... "Don't come back when the mission time is up."... "Go to the Arctic, find Tian Xiong."...

A bold conjecture surged into his mind, and Ling Hui's pupils dilated sharply.

He looked up at Luo Bai, observing his every subtle movement with vigilance, his brows furrowing slightly as he probed as tactfully as possible: "You... also come from the otherworldly realm?"

"You...too?" Luo Bai returned a sharp look.

With people watching from above, some things can't be said too bluntly.

The two exchanged a knowing glance, their hearts suddenly stopped, and they thought to themselves.

"Holy crap, fellow Earthling!"

"Holy crap, it's Tianxiong's connection person!"

Mechs & Angels, fellow countrymen!

【Ding】

Ling Hui pressed the pause button. The outcome of this duel was no longer important; he needed some time to sort out his thoughts.

"It's definitely not a coincidence that the boss assigned me this mission!"
