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

The roar of [Flame Dragon - Blast Dragon] was interrupted by this slap, and it fell silent for a moment, the whole scene freezing in place.

"Wow—what is that?!"

Suddenly, gasps and screams erupted from the audience.

"So cute!!!"

Before the effects are made public, the most direct aesthetic impact should be created first.

"【Gray-Flower-Like】..." Karl felt uneasy inside, his expression shifting unpredictably.

Just as the audience and contestants were in chaos, "ding—"

The AI ​​referee's crisp, indifferent voice echoed throughout the arena:

Security Review

[Temporarily Halt the Duel]

【2:59】

Intervening with the highest level of privileges, the game is forcibly paused after 3 minutes.

"Let's check the results again..."

The commentator projected the detailed effects of the [Ashfall] card onto the big screen, eliciting waves of exclamations from competitive players.

Ash Blossom (inner program)

Luo Bai remained calm and composed, showing no signs of distress.

When he decided to take the high-risk, high-reward path, he had already decided to temporarily leave Byeon Tsukilong.

There is no longer any need to hide one's identity.

It was inevitable that the controversy surrounding [Gray-Like] would cause such a stir.

It had been grayed out once before, but that time it didn't get enough exposure.

Thousands of miles away, at a banquet attended by a large number of high-ranking officials and dignitaries.

[President] Christopher Jack is clinking glasses with someone in celebration.

In his position, he faces endless social situations every day.

"Om-"

Suddenly, a vibration came from his wrist. The president frowned slightly and nodded to the guests with a smile.

A direct connection usually indicates that something big is about to happen.

The president stepped aside, sat down on the sofa, gently put down his champagne glass, and opened the messages.

"Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring has appeared."

A link is attached after a few short words.

The guild leader's pupils constricted sharply, and he quickly replied, "Use my authority to pause the duel."

"Find out the person clearly."

The other end of the communication immediately responded: "Yes."

The president once again displayed a social smile, raised his glass, and mingled among the VIPs.

Cangyuan Fortress, Team Base Room 308.

As usual, Chen Xinxin logged into her account and started the live stream.

My first glance was at the gray avatar in the upper right corner.

[Last login - 14 days ago]

"Sigh—" she sighed deeply, feeling helpless.

"Why is Teacher Bai not getting a number?"

Since KC ended, her beloved idol and 'teacher' - [Siren, my wife] - has never been online again.

After losing this connection, her popularity plummeted.

Most people pay attention to her because they want to learn from watching the KC champions.

But the person in question kept refusing to show up, and she was about to break down in her act.

"Family, let's aim for Master 1 tonight!" Chen Xinxin tried to liven things up.

After the KC incident, she became a top streamer and spent over five million to buy the last remaining copy of "Trouble Sunny".

They're already qualified to challenge for Master 1!

As soon as she finished speaking, she expected the screen to be filled with "Go for it!" comments.

The result was a sky full of—

"Xinxin, look! Teacher Bai has appeared!"

Below is the same link; clicking it will take you directly to the league.

"Huh???" Chen Xinxin was clearly stunned. "I've time-traveled?"

A barrage of comments scrolled by.

"【Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring】, and 【Sky Striker】!"

"The player's name contains the character 'white,' and it's a level four fortress, no doubt about it."

"It really is Teacher Bai!"

"So young, I thought he was some old monster from the deep mountains."

"Wait! How come the score is 5-5 tied?"

Some newcomers also noticed this anomaly.

"A 5-5 draw in the league? Give me a big explanation."

"Emergency filing?!"

"I've never seen anything like this before, brothers."

Some people noticed the red text displayed in the upper right corner of the live stream.

The live stream attracted wave after wave of viewers, much like water being poured into a pond.

Chen Xinxin stared at Luo Bai, her eyes gleaming.

My heart was pounding.

"Oops--"

She tried hard to suppress her emotions.

"So young."

"So handsome..."

Chen Xinxin covered her mouth and whispered, as if she were talking to herself.

A thought of messing up the generational order rushed into her mind, and her face couldn't help but turn red.

She quickly shook off the dangerous thought, looked at Luo Bai's team logo - Bian Yuelong, and frowned.

"Bian Yuelong?"

"hiss--"

Chen Xinxin took a deep breath and murmured the word repeatedly.

"Where do I sound familiar?"

Suddenly, a bright light flashed past my head.

"Oh--"

"Miss Shu!"

She suddenly remembered that the fortress that Shu Yu'er was investigating was also Bian Yuelong.

And we haven't been in touch for quite some time!

"She didn't know all along, did she?"

A thought flashed through Chen Xinxin's mind, and without even turning off the live stream, she immediately sent a video call to Shu Yuer.

【answer--】

After quite a while, communication was finally established.

The picture was extremely white, as if the signal was bad.

"Miss, can you hear me?" Chen Xinxin asked with concern, her brows furrowed.

"Click—"

On the other end came a fading voice and heavy breathing.

No...don't...

Shu Yu'er seemed to have seen something unbelievable, her voice trembling.

Don't come to... Sumeru Garden...

"Xumi Garden?" Chen Xinxin asked in confusion, "Weren't you at Bian Yuelong?"

"Are you OK?"

There was no response from the other end, and Chen Xinxin's voice became even more urgent.

"Can you hear me, Miss Shu?"

"Click—"

The communicator emitted a sharp, whitish sound again.

Heavy breathing, the sounds of fighting, and cries of agony...

A slightly trembling voice rang out again.
