Hey! Let's play cards

The white card image represents its type, which is a Synchro Monster card.

"It's actually this!!!" You Xin looked at the card in his hand, his excitement beyond words.

He had been looking for this card for a long time and didn't expect to find it in this place.

Fate, amazing.

The Insect King came closer cautiously, and after seeing the information of this monster card clearly, he was shocked.

"It is indeed not an ordinary thing!" The Insect King expressed a little envy.

It was worthwhile for You Xin to get this card during this underground exploration.

"Let's go up together!" You Xin put one hand on the Insect King's shoulder, and a whirlwind rose from the ground, carrying the two of them flying upwards.

Arriving at the top of the underground space, You Xin raised his hand in the face of the gravel and soil buried deep underground.

Wind, fire, water, earth, light and darkness, the six basic elements that constitute the world, each turned into a flow of energy and surged upwards.

When they reached the top layer, the six energy flows twisted into one, from which two colors of light, black and white, were born, carrying some mystery.

The intersecting streams of light hit the top layer head-on, shattering the soil and rocks into the smallest particles.

You Xin and the Insect King continued to accelerate upwards, and in just a moment, they reached the surface.

Feeling the warm sunshine, You Xin couldn't help but stretch his arms and stretch his muscles.

"The midday sun is still the most comfortable. It's so dark underground that staying there for a long time will really make people depressed."

"Hey! Xiao Chong, what are you going to do next?" You Xin turned around and asked.

"I...what else can I do? I've already been eliminated, so I must return to the competition venue, find a comfortable seat, and watch your duel carefully!"

The Insect King waved his hand. Now he just wanted to leave Youxin immediately.

Although the Insect King didn't know why the Gun King didn't reveal his identity, staying there was definitely not a good idea.

There is a great opportunity right now, how can the Insect King miss it.

"Okay then! I'm really sorry to end your game here." You Xin really felt it was a pity. With the Insect King's strength, he would definitely be able to enter the next round.

"There's nothing to regret. I'm just not as skilled as others." The Insect King said quickly, his feet already eager to try and ready to leave at any time.

"In that case! See you later." You Xin waved goodbye to the Insect King.

You Xin has a good impression of the Insect King and very much hopes to meet him again.

The Insect King, who finally seized the opportunity, didn't care about You Xin's reluctance. He said a few simple words and immediately left.

After walking a distance, the Insect King confirmed that You Xin's figure disappeared from his sight. The big rock that had been hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.

"Finally I escaped from Youxin. It was a close call!"

Arriving at an open space, the drone belonging to the Insect King locked onto the Insect King again.

He still has two stars now and can continue to participate in this game.

"Do you want to continue? Now I understand that disrupting this duel tournament is a life-or-death struggle, and it is an impossible task."

The beliefs that the Insect King has always adhered to make him unwilling to take such unequal risks.

"I definitely can't complete the mission. After all, I'm just a worker. Why should I risk my life?" The Insect King decisively chose to give up the mission.

"But... after all, this is an unprecedented duel tournament. If I don't participate properly, how can I be content as a duelist?"

The Insect King took out the remaining two stars from his arms, shook them in front of the drone, and then uploaded the video of his battle with You Xin.

After unanimous decision by the duel tournament staff, the duel between You Xin and the Insect King was valid.

On the leaderboard, You Xin now has 4 stars, and is very close to promotion.

Although it is only noon now, some duelists with amazing strength have already obtained tickets to the next round.

A woman with an ordinary face walked slowly into the duel arena with steady steps, six golden stars placed on her chest, symbolizing her glory.

Cheers immediately broke out from the audience seats around.

"Amazing! I collected all 6 stars so quickly."

“This lady is really strong!”

"Yes! Every duel was clean and neat, leaving no room for any chance."

……

The audience's praises reached the woman's ears, but she just smiled politely, greeted them briefly, and after dealing with the ubiquitous reporters' interviews, she walked lightly towards the lounge for the next round of contestants.

Since there are only 16 contestants in the next round at most, the lounge for each qualifier is very luxurious.

Bedroom, balcony, living room, shower room, kitchen, and even an exclusive gym and garden.

The first woman to advance walked into the lounge and sat upright on a chair.

The woman held her chin with one hand, and her bright eyes revealed a hint of uneasiness.

"It's very close! It's coming soon." The woman sighed silently, with an indelible sorrow in her eyes.

"You Xin, are you ready for the final test?" The woman uttered You Xin's name.

The purpose of her coming here was to contribute her strength.

Darkness and light, it's time to make a break.

"Wow!!!!"

There was another round of cheers coming from outside the door. It seemed that another strong man had successfully advanced.

……

Tumon Ishdar stood in the center of the venue, spread his arms, and quietly enjoyed the cheers of the crowd.

Six golden stars circulated around Tumon, demonstrating his strength.

Thousands of miles away in the Kingdom of Sos, all the people saw this scene and the whole country was jubilant.

The king passed the first round of the duel tournament, allowing every resident of the Kingdom of Soth to share a sense of honor.

"The title of Duel King must belong to me!!!" Tumeng proudly declared that he was determined to win the title of "Duel King".

The entire venue was filled with exclamations of surprise because of Tumeng's arrogance.

"Well done!"

"Have courage!"

"As expected of the owner of Exodia."

……

Tumon was very satisfied with the cheering. How great it would be if he could ascend to the final throne.

It has to be said that Tumeng has become addicted to this feeling, which is far more refreshing than accepting the worship of the people. It seems as if every pore of the body is immersed in the warm spring water.

Streams of warmth flowed along my ankles, up my spine, and finally spread throughout my body.

"That's great! The championship of this duel tournament must be mine!" Tumon clenched his fists and made up his mind secretly.

"No one can stop me, not even you—You Xin!"

Chapter 497: The Passage of Time

in the forest

After bidding farewell to the Insect Queen, You Xin set out again to look for his opponent.

"The time now is probably around one o'clock, right?" You Xin said uncertainly, looking at the sun in the sky.

"I remember the deadline for this round of competition is 5pm, and I have four stars now, so I don't need to rush."

You Xin was full of confidence, thinking that he was only two stars away and should be able to complete it soon.

"Let's leave this forest first, but - why doesn't anyone come here?" You Xin sighed in his heart.

If You Xin hadn’t met the Insect King, he might have been in trouble.

You Xin stomped the ground hard and leaped up. Immediately, spider-web-like deep pits appeared on the ground.

And You Xin himself shot out of the forest like a cannonball.

The strong wind slapped his face and the forest under his feet quickly retreated.

"Wuhu - I've wanted to try it for a long time." You Xin somersaulted several times in the air. This experience was much more interesting than flying. He could feel the pull of gravity surrounding him from all directions.

However – there is one thing to note about this behavior: be careful when landing.

During high-speed rotation, it is easy to confuse the sense of distance from the ground.

Whoa--plop--bang--

It was a beautiful landing in the four-legged stance, with a difficulty coefficient of 0. Unfortunately, the dust it stirred up was too heavy, so the referee could only give it points.

"Ouch—it hurts, it hurts. I was so careless! Luckily no one saw it." You Xin climbed out of the pit in a panic.

If someone else saw such an embarrassing scene, I would really consider silencing them.

You Xin looked around. Fortunately, this was just a ravine, and there was nothing around...

Before You Xin could secretly rejoice, he discovered a drone hovering above his head. Judging from the number, it seemed to be the one following him.

You Xin: “…”

The footage just now shouldn't have been broadcast live, right?

At the same time, the audience at home and abroad fell into silence. After a brief moment of confusion, the first laugh suddenly rang out from nowhere, followed by the second, the third...

Such an interesting scene made many viewers laugh out loud.

"Good job! Reward!"

"Classic confusing human behavior!"

"That thing about free falling."

……

However, such scenes bring different emotions to those who know You Xin.

Inside the Duel Academy, all the students looked at You Xin, from the moment he jumped to the moment he fell into the pit. Each student had a different expression, but the only thing they had in common was: shame.
