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

"I'm so sorry if I disturbed your rest."

He stared straight at Luo Bai, a cold, scarlet light flashing in his eyes.

"I'm the kind of person..."

"I like talking to myself."

Avans' voice was as piercing as a cold wind, echoing in the silent corridor. His deep-set face revealed an indescribable sense of oppression, as if he controlled the entire space.

"Then you really should get your head checked," Luo Bai said calmly.

"Hahaha." Avens laughed heartily. "Bian Yuelong's new coach is really interesting." He leaned forward slightly, glancing at the white clouds behind Luo Bai, a sly glint in his eyes.

"It's so late..."

"Still living with the team members?"

His voice carried a clear provocation, pressing Luo Bai to reveal what unspeakable secrets he was hiding.

"Training late at night?"

"Hahaha--"

"Young man, you are very fortunate."

Upon hearing these words, Baiyun lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Be honest." Luo Bai looked coldly at Avens, but spoke to Bai Yun behind him.

"Only dogs that lack confidence like to bark indiscriminately."

His voice carried a hint of disdain and mockery, as if he were laughing at his opponent's weakness and powerlessness.

Anyone can talk trash.

"See you on the field, Sumeru Garden."

The two teams have very similar records and points, and they are likely to be opponents in the next round.

Luo Bai glanced at Avens indifferently, turned and left Baiyun's room, walking firmly downstairs.

Avans watched his departing figure from afar, his pupils contracting, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, clearly wary.

"To have such a mindset at such a young age."

"This child must not be allowed to live."

He thought for a moment and then dialed a number.

On the other end of the communication, the sound of insects feeding could be heard.

“Kill someone,” Avans said coldly.

【who?】

"That new coach, Bian Yuelong."

"Many people bet on us to win."

"We can't afford to lose the next game."

[Can't beat them]

Avans paused, quite surprised by such a decisive rejection.

"Don't you want to hear the price first?"

My life is at stake.

"Hmm?" A strange look flashed across Avans's brow. "You've encountered this before?"

"This is the first time I've seen you act so cowardly."

They fought once in a duel.

"Oh? What deck are you using?"

Avans raised an eyebrow, sensing the presence of intelligence.

[I used a case]

He uses a water dispenser.

"What a joke, you're a water pump?" Avans sneered.

"Was your hand bad? Didn't you draw [Ugly]?"

He habitually conflated the "water machine" with the disabled version of Nanyang Ling's set.

No, my two photos are ugly.

[Still the pot is open, seven cards]

"How could we possibly lose?!" Avans asked in bewilderment.

You have experienced...

The voice on the other end sounded very dejected and weary.

[One card was excluded first...]

Four more cards were destroyed...

[The last three were excluded...]

【Is that right?】

Avans was stunned; the air was unusually still.

Stop now, Avans.

Here's a piece of advice for you.

【ban——Crystal Mechanism】

The last words were spoken, and then the communication was cut off.

The other party concealed one piece of information: Luo Bai possesses the epic-level [Central Serpent].

A thousand miles away lies the fortress of Sumeru Garden.

Wild Beast Forest.

The Joker Hunter - Victor hung up the communication and spat out a mechanical flying insect from his mouth.

There was a corpse at my feet, crawling with mechanical insects.

Three ways to enhance mechanical leadership: convert other races in the present world into mechanical races, forge mechanical epic cards, and hunt down mechanical race candidates.

The mechanical insects ransacked the corpse and delivered the loot, the Magic Card, to Victor.

"Another piece of trash."

Victor glanced at it and said disdainfully.

Once you reach a certain level, you no longer feel excited about rare cards, but instead pursue extraordinary cards.

"That epic card can only be mine."

He recalled his battle with Luo Bai, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

He deliberately concealed information about the epic card and advised Avens to stop, but it wasn't out of genuine kindness.

However, I plan to become stronger before taking on the challenge.

Before this, no one else is allowed to covet it.

The defeat of the [machine shell] left him with a considerable debt to the Order Academy.

"You wait for me!"

This is revenge.

A cold glint flashed in Victor's eyes as he continued deeper into the Wild Beast Forest.

Strange things have been happening in the Sumeru Garden Wild Beast Forest recently.

Many hunters never returned, yet as if bewitched, people continued to follow in their footsteps.

He guessed—

There's a big treasure.

As they ventured deeper, the pits on the ground became increasingly dense.

These pits were unusually strange; the surrounding soil was covered with a bizarre slime, and inside the pits were only clothes and bones.

It was as if—it had been digested by something?

"Waaah—"

Suddenly, a mournful cry echoed through the forest.

Viktor suddenly roused himself and went into a state of high alert.

He cautiously made his way towards the sound of crying.

Countless mechanical insects crawled out of his body and explored his surroundings.

The insect had just burrowed into the grass when it was suddenly swallowed by something, and the signal was abruptly cut off.

Strange chewing sounds kept coming from all around.

"Who goes there?!" Viktor shouted, pushing aside the leaves in front of him and raising his weapon.

The scene before him left him completely stunned.

In the middle of a patch of datura grass sat a girl with light green hair in pigtails, wearing a loose off-the-shoulder dress with a datura flower hanging on her chest.

Please provide some fan art that can pass censorship.

"so cute."

Viktor murmured in a daze, a strange flush appearing on his face.

The next instant.

A man-eating flower appeared on his head without him noticing, opening its enormous mouth.
