Hey! Let's play cards

"You look a little unhappy." You Xin turned his head and said.

They had clearly agreed to go out for a walk together, but You Xin noticed from the beginning that Xia Qingrou was in a low mood.

"No! It's okay!" Xia Qingrou bit her lip and turned her head away.

"It's obvious that something's wrong with you!" You Xin couldn't help but say in his heart.

Just as You Xin was about to continue saying something, there was a sound from the bushes behind him. A figure leaped high into the air, spun 360 degrees in the air, and landed steadily.

Xia Qingrou was startled, but You Xin was not surprised.

In front of him was a student from an unknown grade. As soon as he landed, he immediately unfolded the duel disk and said excitedly: "Haha! Haha! Challenge me! You Xin!!!"

Xia Qingrou looked puzzled, and You Xin lowered his hand to his forehead.

"He is..." Xia asked softly.

"Nothing? I'll take care of it, it'll be quick!" You Xin stood up, took out a deck of cards, and walked to a distance in front of the student.

You Xin: Mood - 99

The student said arrogantly: "You Xin, you will be defeated by me."

You Xin waved his hands helplessly and said casually: "I've heard bad things about this recently, and I'm tired of it."

"Three minutes! Someone is still waiting for me?" You Xin stretched out three fingers, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Arrogant guy, feel the power of the beast!" The student raised his head and looked down at You Xin.

With this attitude, I really don’t know who is the arrogant guy.

"Duel!" ×2

……

After three long minutes, the student fell to his knees.

In his field, a green koala with a gloved hand was hit in the chest by the sword horn of the Dark Rebellious Ultra Dragon.

The koala screamed in pain and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang.

【Anonymous, LP2500→0】

You Xin turned his head away from paying attention to the student and sat back next to Xia Qingrou.

He has experienced this kind of situation several times in recent days.

Because of his outstanding performance in the Olihagang incident.

You Xin has become a celebrity in the academy, and there is an endless stream of duelists coming to challenge him.

Dealing with those high-spirited students every day, You Xin was very happy at first and enjoyed the feeling of being sought after.

But these challenges always come suddenly at unexpected moments.

In the classroom, on the path, in the cafeteria, and even once in the bathroom, someone broke in and pulled You Xin up to prepare for a duel.

After several days, You Xin finally couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to take Li Ming away to hide.

But unexpectedly, Li Ming's situation was even worse than You Xin's. He was blocked by the duelists who came to his door.

This is normal. After all, Li Ming's performance in this incident is better than You Xin's.

"You look like you're having a hard time!" Xia Qingrou said softly.

"I'm so tired!" You Xin sighed.

You Xin didn't notice that a strange emotion flashed across Xia Qingrou's eyes.

"Is he... very strong?" Xia Qingrou pointed at the student who got up from the ground and asked.

You Xin tilted his head and thought for a moment, "I don't know! It ended without any feeling."

"Is that so?" Xia Qingrou did not continue speaking, but fell into silence.

"What's wrong with you?" You Xin finally noticed that Xia Qingrou was acting strangely.

Xia Qingrou thought for a long time and looked at You Xin.

"Is the 'Orichalcum Barrier' dangerous?"

"Well - yes! It's very dangerous. After all, whoever uses it will lose!" You Xin said half-jokingly.

"Then - after using it, can I gain even greater power?"

"Yes! After the duelists used the 'Orichalcum Barrier', every one of them was as energetic as if they had been injected with chicken blood."

"Are you curious?"

"Yes! I'm a little interested!" Xia Qingrou smiled again.

You Xin thought he had discovered Xia Qingrou's heart knot and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Can you tell me about the events of a few days ago?"

"Sure! Then everything starts from the library. So..."

You Xin began to tell the whole story, revealing all his experiences except for some confidential ones.

Xia Qingrou listened with great interest.

……

"So... I defeated Sun Zichu just like that, but unfortunately Director Mo had already run away."

Xia Qingrou kept everything in mind.

"It's getting late, let's go have lunch!" You Xin looked at the time and found that it was already twelve o'clock.

"Yeah! Okay!"

……

After such an incident, the college has been closed recently.

You Xin and Xia Qingrou had a great time playing together for the whole afternoon, and she always had a smile on her face.

If it weren't for those spoiling the fun challengers, You Xin believed this would have been a perfect date.

As the sun sets, You Xin prepares to send Xia Qingrou back to the dormitory.

Along the way, the two saw a lot of people in black suits. These were sent by the Duelist Association to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the academy's personnel to prevent any fish from falling into the net.

The investigation is now nearing completion, and the Duelist Association has not found any hidden holders.

You Xin sent Xia Qingrou to the door and waved goodbye.

Looking at Xia Qingrou's departing back, You Xin's heart trembled, and he suddenly reached out to grab her.

It was a strange feeling. Although the two people seemed very close, as if they could be touched, they were also so far away, as if there was an unreachable abyss between them.

You Xin's arm stopped in mid-air, and he consoled himself: "Is it... an illusion?"

……

Pushing open the door and facing the empty dormitory, the smile on Xia Qingrou's face immediately disappeared.

Xia Qingrou took heavy steps and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Why is the gap between us getting bigger and bigger!" Xia Qingrou curled up into a ball, with a few crystal tears constantly swirling in her eyes.

Xia Qingrou recalled the duelist at noon. If she were to take on the duelist herself, it would definitely be a hassle.

Among the duelists who appeared in the afternoon, there were several who were very powerful, and even Xia Qingrou herself did not have the confidence to win.

But these so-called chosen ones were easily defeated by You Xin.

"If I take over, how many rounds can I last?" Xia Qingrou compared the gap between the two in her mind. Even though she simulated it hundreds of times in her mind, she could not see any hope of winning.

The light in Xia Qingrou's eyes had gone. She had vowed to catch up with You Xin, but now she couldn't see his back.

During the Olihagang incident, You Xin brought Li Ming and Su Yue with him.

Xia Qingrou agreed with Li Ming's words. After all, her strength was comparable to You Xin's.

But Su Yue and Xia Qingrou couldn't accept it.

"Are my strengths really that bad?" The girl's mind started to become sensitive again.

In fact, this matter is not as Xia Qingrou thought.

The reason why You Xin chose Su Yue was just to lure out the holder of the "Olihagang Barrier" and he had no intention of letting him participate in the battle.

The reason why I didn't call Xia Qingrou was because I was afraid that she would be in danger.

But Xia Qingrou didn't think so at the moment. She was stuck in a dead end and was falling rapidly towards an extreme.

"I need strength. I can't go on like this."

The evening sunlight poured into the dormitory, making it bright, but not a single beam of sunlight fell on Xia Qingrou.

Chapter 186 Alarm

In the Nebula Laboratory in outer space, busy days have been going on for a long time.

In a certain department, two junior researchers were sitting in front of their computers, typing away at their keyboards.

"Ah - I can't take it anymore! I need to take a break." A male researcher stopped and slumped in his chair, with thick dark circles around his eyes.

Next to him, a female researcher looked tired and complained, "I can't help it! There are so many things going on lately."

The male researcher leaned back in his chair and stretched.

"We have enough research work to do on weekdays. Not long ago, we dug up a few monster slabs. Those crazy scientists are full of energy, enthusiasm and tirelessness, but it's hard for us!"

"Who said it wasn't? I wonder what the Duelist Association is thinking? They actually asked us to look up information about 'Orichalcum'.

Please! We are a research institution, not a library, and certainly not a search engine."

The Duelist Association attaches great importance to the Olihagang incident that occurred at Jiangzhou Duel Academy.

Not only is Director Mo listed as a dangerous person on the same level as the Four Dark Lords, but the "Orichalcum Barrier" is also regarded as an absolutely banned card.

If someone is found using it, they will be considered a dangerous person similar to the Dark Duelist.

However, the Duelist Association's knowledge of Orichalcum was limited, and they had also searched for relevant information internally, but with little success.
