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

Please be careful.

Please remain calm, we are handling this situation...

Before the alarm had even stopped, the robots began to malfunction one after another, collapsing to the ground as if they had suddenly lost their power.

"An earthquake...?" Mito's voice trembled on the commentary stand, filled with disbelief.

Jules, still shaken, immediately retorted, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

“This is Amathra!” His words were filled with shock.

They were not naive; earthquakes were commonplace for them. Yet, this was Amatella—the fruit of the divine star tree, the most peaceful corner of Biantana.

"Could it be..." Their eyes met, their pupils widened instantly, and their Adam's apples bobbed involuntarily.

"The Divine Star Tree... is trembling..."

The next second, something even stranger happened.

After a brief period of panic, the earthquake miraculously stopped, and the surrounding space was eerily calm, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

"Huh?" Everyone looked at each other, puzzled.

The earthquake lasted only fifteen seconds.

After some thought, some people hurriedly ran out of the competition venue.

Their intuition told them that something was dirty and that there was danger.

Most people sat back down in their seats, waiting for the final duel.

Their intuition told them that they would regret it for the rest of their lives if they didn't watch the last one.

The mechanical refereeing system restarted, issuing a cold declaration:

[Blue team's substitution time remaining: 00:18]

In the audience, Yi Lan remained motionless, staring blankly at Luo Bai.

...

[Not yet reaching the true pinnacle...]

[Insufficient acetylene...]

[The program failed to start]

The cold, mechanical sound swept through his mind, but Luo Bai seemed not to hear it and continued walking.

He walked onto the dueling platform with a blank expression.

Luo Bai picked up Melonika, who was lying in a pool of blood, his palms covered in warm blood. Her faint breaths reached his ears, stirring up the emotions that had just begun to settle deep within him.

He clenched his fists and gently moved Melonika's head, bringing her mouth close to his neck.

While unconscious, Melonica seemed to sense something. Her survival instinct made her slightly open her mouth to exhale warm breath and reveal her sharp teeth.

"Snapped--"

Melonica's sharp teeth dug into his neck, sucking greedily. With her eyes closed, she involuntarily wrapped her arms around his shoulders.

Melonica Mikasa Margulies (Bitened, waaaaaah)

Luo Bai frowned slightly.

This is the second time I've felt pain since arriving in Biantana.

The first time was Ilan's fist, and the second time was Melonika's fangs.

Current Fate Level: 85%...

78%...

64%...

45%...

The voice of the program kept echoing in Luo Bai's mind.

He only released Melonika from his arms when he announced "[24%...]".

Her pale face regained much of its color, and her breathing gradually became steady, though she was still unconscious. Luo Bai breathed a sigh of relief and carried her toward the edge of the dueling arena.

Upon seeing this, supervisor Shu Yu'er quickly walked to the edge of the dueling platform and took Melonika from Luo Bai's arms.

"You should at least be a man..."

She glanced at Luo Bai and said coldly.

"Win this duel."

Without saying a word, Luo Bai returned to the center of the dueling platform with a blank expression.

"Bian Yuelong, the last player..." Yu Le returned to the commentary booth and burst into an amazing shout, "It's Coach - Luo Bai!"

"The coach himself is on the field!"

"But..."

He seemed to be thinking of something, but hesitated to speak.

Mi Tu picked up the thread and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, Qiu Ren will still choose level eight pain in this duel."

"Contestant Luo Bai looks fair-skinned and delicate."

"According to the data, his rank has not reached the True Talisman level, so he cannot activate resonance to resist damage."

"I don't think I'll make it to the end of the match..."

[The blue team should choose their attack order first.]

"Attack first." Luo Bai said indifferently.

[Both parties please set their pain level]

"Hahaha..." Qiu Ren sneered, "I choose level eight!"

Jules frowned.

This bastard still isn't going to have a normal duel.

"Rivers of blood!"

"Hahaha—" The audience erupted in wild cheers again.

"Level eight, huh?" Luo Bai scoffed. "Are you just trying to maintain your health?"

He looked up at the AI ​​referee floating in mid-air and spoke indifferently.

"I choose max level."

Level 10.

...

...

(I'm being cyberbullied, sob sob...)

(Please send me some razor blades!)

Chapter 301 Fourth-Tier League - Mischievous Fairy Star

"Level 10 pain..."

The audience and commentators seemed to doubt their ears, unable to process what they were hearing.

"Coach!" Zhou Jiaping shouted anxiously from the rest area.

Two teammates have already fallen in this round of the league, and if the coach has another accident, then Byeon Takitsu will be finished.

Jiang Shu's breath caught in her throat: "The coach is so scary right now..."

What happened?

A questioning voice echoed in Yi Lan's mind.

[Sister] is awake.

"Hmm..." Yi Lan pouted and recounted everything that had happened.

...

"Level 10 pain!" Jules shouted as he recovered. "Contestant Luo Bai has chosen Level 10 pain!"

"One of us must die in this duel!"

Mi Tu stared blankly: "Holy crap, that's ruthless..."

The audience paused for a moment, then erupted in an unprecedented frenzy of shouts.

"Kill him—"

"Hahaha!!!"

Based on past experience, without resonance to block injury, a level 10 pain will definitely kill you.

Level 10 pain is generally only seen in team wipe matches where the hatred between the two sides is irreconcilable.

"Level 10 pain..." Qiu Ren shuddered, an instinctive fear rising within him. He looked up and met Luo Bai's gaze, his heart and lungs suddenly stopping.

I stumbled and almost fell.

In the audience, Sumi Garden's coach, King of Spades, had his eyes flash red again.

"what--"

In an instant, Qiu Ren clutched his head in pain and let out a muffled wail.

After a long while, he raised his head again, as if he were a different person, staring straight at Luo Bai and letting out a strange, maniacal laugh.

"Hahaha..."

"Is that you...? You're back...? Hahaha..."

"long time no see!"
