The eyes of Kurosaki Ruri, which are hidden under her gentle appearance and can make people feel a chill down their spine, are definitely not like Shark Girl, who is a consistent and even a little silly... She is definitely a scary bad woman!

Moreover, at this point You Ling suddenly realized that if he continued to think in this way, the duelists he would face in the next duel with the group that the Kurosaki siblings belonged to, that is, this rebellious movement, would probably be of this level of strength.

The so-called level refers to decks whose strength exceeds that of the Strike Raptor used by Kurosaki Hayabusa. Almost all of them are top decks that have had more than one pie chart experience in the history of OCG decks.

It is already known that there is Shark's Poseidon Water Scale, and the Lyrical Robin that is about to be faced - although it is not certain yet, but it is clear with a little thought. By then, there will be another set of pre-historical heritage card decks that was once the most mainstream in the pie chart, and the Phantom Knights card deck used by another rebellious teenager who is almost bound to the character of Kurosaki Hayabusa.

Just these few are, in You Ling's impression, all of whom are well-known and powerful people in the entire history of Yu-Gi-Oh... It can be said that the task that the disaster star Typhon has to face in order to obtain it seems to be much more difficult than the Thunder on the side of the Seven Emperors of Barian.

The Kurosaki Hayabusa who threw out two golden crispy chickens at the beginning and looked scary but was actually weak inside seemed to be able to be the first top soldier of this group...that is, the so-called "there are five duelists stronger than me in our team."

Faced with this difficulty visible to the naked eye, You Ling couldn't help but sigh... but then his irrepressible duelist spirit made him feel excited again.

After all, the same old saying still applies: only when you rape a strong enough opponent will it feel good... and similarly, only when you have a strong enough duelist and deck will it feel even better to fight against them.

"——What's wrong? You clearly won the duel, why are you still sighing?"

At this moment, a powerful voice sounded from in front of him, interrupting You Ling's thoughts - he raised his head, and then saw John, who probably had finished the duel, moving his left hand with the duel disk and looking at him curiously.

Then, as if remembering something, the passionate young man John lowered his head in alarm, leaned closer to You Ling, and asked, "Could it be that you felt...that my duel on stage just now was not enjoyable at all? Didn't meet your standards?"

The thought of this possibility made John anxious, feeling the threat of being looked down upon by his friends. "No, that duel was just a test! The duelists we usually get aren't that strong, so it's normal that the duel didn't look very exciting..."

"Not everyone can be like you and get matched with a famous guy like Kurosaki Hayabusa in the first round!"

Seeing that John seemed to have misunderstood something and was about to jump up and down in anxiety, You Ling quickly shook her head and said soothingly, "No, you misunderstood. I don't think there's anything wrong with you... I was just thinking about something else."

As he spoke, You Ling tilted his head to think for a moment. After thinking about what John might like to hear, he gave John a thumbs up and said decisively and firmly, "On the contrary, I think it's great. The cooperation between you, your family, and your group of precious jade beasts is really well-deserved... It's really awesome!"

As expected, just as You Ling had predicted, John's face visibly lit up with joy after hearing the praise for himself and his family's jade beasts. "Really? You think so too?"

Seeing this, You Ling nodded without hesitation. The serious expression on his face made anyone who saw it feel his sincerity... Just like John, he didn't realize that You Ling didn't even watch the duel he just had, and that what he said was pure nonsense.

- After all, You Ling couldn't tell John that I didn't even watch your duel before... Less than two minutes after you started fighting, I turned my head and exchanged glances with another sister next to me.

Therefore, You Ling's deception could be said to be quite effective, but the simple-minded John didn't doubt it at all. He nodded in satisfaction and sat down next to You Ling.

"You Ling, you are really good at talking!"

At this time, seeing his friends' satisfied expressions, You Ling also smiled and nodded - then he showed a puzzled expression, pretended to casually take out his mobile phone, and asked John.

"Speaking of which, John...I feel a little strange. What do you think is going on?"

Then, You Ling stretched out his hand and pointed at the name displayed on the phone screen: Kurosaki Ruri. He expressed his doubts to John, who seemed to understand him, "What a coincidence, my next opponent seems to be the sister of Kurosaki Hayabusa, the one I just beat. That's Kurosaki Ruri..."

"But what's strange is that I clearly remember seeing Kurosaki Ruri sitting in the audience during the duel just now. She watched the duel between me and her brother... Logically, shouldn't she and I be in different rounds? Why did I meet her in the next round? What's going on?"

You Ling was actually just asking casually, because he had just checked on the Internet and didn't get any definite answer, so he didn't expect to get any clear answer.

But unexpectedly, after hearing his words, John took the phone and looked at it, his face suddenly changed.

Then, an exclamation came out of his mouth: "Oh my god... You Ling, what kind of luck is this?"

"It was just a start-of-term test duel. After successfully defeating Kurosaki Hayabusa, you unexpectedly faced his even more terrifying sister..." John looked at You Ling as he spoke. The complicated look in his eyes made You Ling a little confused. "I don't know whether to say you are lucky or unlucky."

Noticing John's strange expression and the obviously wrong words coming out of his mouth, You Ling immediately frowned: "Even more terrifying...his sister? What does this mean?"

But after hearing these words, You Ling was actually nodding secretly in his heart - it seemed that just as he had judged, there was indeed something wrong with this Kurosaki Ruri.

John, on the other hand, looked at You Ling with a look of pity. He reached out his hand, patted You Ling's shoulder, shook his head and sighed, "What a sin."

Then, he pointed at the four large characters "Kurosaki Ruri" on Youling's phone screen. "If Kurosaki Hayabusa is only famous in the academy because of the group he belongs to and his position as leader... then his sister, Kurosaki Ruri, is even more remarkable."

"Do you know what Miss Liuli is known as throughout the academy... She's the terrifying duelist known as the Night Shrike, renowned for her torture and murder."

"It's important to note that the nickname everyone gave her is definitely not a compliment." John raised his thumb and pointed to the other students wearing the Fusion Academy uniforms. "You don't even need to listen to others—I have a roommate who once represented Fusion Academy in a joint academy duel and fought against her."

"And for a whole week after the battle, he refused to even touch a duel or Yu-Gi-Oh!—even now, if I mention the name Kurosaki Ruri to that guy, he'll still look around in horror, as if he'd seen a ghost... He even hesitates to appear in public, anywhere this woman is around."

"It's said that she's like the little bird called a shrike in the world. She looks cute and harmless, but in reality, she's a terrifying hunter who kills her prey and then hangs it alive on a tree branch, torturing it..."

John's description became increasingly unsettling, his expression adopting the air of someone telling a horror story. "It's said that her nickname, 'Night Shrike,' comes from her shrike-like dueling style, which involves torturing her opponents alive."

"If there are different levels of evil duelists, then those who can beat their opponents to the point where they don't want to play Yu-Gi-Oh anymore must be at the top of the list... This terrifying woman is exactly like that."

Hearing John's statement which sounded both true and deceptive, You Ling could only blink innocently - Oh my god, isn't this talking about me?

John could clearly tell from You Ling's expression that she didn't take his words to heart, so he shook his head fiercely. "I'm not saying anything, You Ling, but you and she are both from the Transcendent Academy, yet you haven't even heard of the Dark Night Shrike's notoriety."

"I'm telling you, don't be fooled by this girl's gentle exterior... Beneath her gentle exterior lies a female demon with an extremely ferocious and terrifying fighting style!"

John then reached out and patted You Ling's shoulder, signaling him to be more careful. "If you ask me, only someone as uninformed as you wouldn't know... The reason this guy was able to sit there and watch you duel in the first round is probably because his opponent surrendered or even abdicated after knowing they were dueling with Kurosaki Ruri."

After listening to John's outrageous statement, You Ling was of course not frightened by it. He felt that it was quite in line with his expectations... It was exactly the same as the bad woman he had seen with his own eyes before.

So, he nodded slightly... and just pointed a finger towards John.

Seeing his movements, John couldn't help but blink curiously. He looked at his fingers and asked, "What does this mean? One round? Are you going to try a round with her first?"

"No, it means ten." You Ling shook his finger and said to John with a chuckle.

"Don't worry, John..."

As You Ling spoke, he also glanced at his own deck - which now contained the card that he could only try out once, Sky Thunder - Arceus.

"100%... As for this duel, I have 100% confidence!"

Volume 1: Chapter 117: The Master of Hand Trap Field!

Looking at You Ling's arrogant and even reckless remarks, John opened his mouth first... but for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

But as a passionate duelist who could communicate through emotions, John understood immediately after seeing You Ling's eyes - although he didn't quite understand what this guy understood, and suddenly his whole body was lit up.

The next moment, he even reached out his hand, slapped his head hard, and shouted in self-deprecating tone, "Haha, it's true that I was stupid... It's all the fault of that guy I know. He talked too much about this Kurosaki Ruri and tricked me into it!"

Then, with his blood boiling, he stretched out his right hand, agreeing with You Ling's words: "Yes, as a duelist, how could I possibly avoid a fight before it even begins... You Ling, you are truly a good duelist that I recognize!"

"That's how it should be. Even if it's just a duel for a start-of-term test, you shouldn't give up so easily... You have to face your opponent with 100% confidence. Only then will the deck respond to you!"

Hearing John's words, You Ling blinked - what kind of deck would respond... As a rational duelist, he had not thought of this.

Even if it were to be asked whether he could give up the opening test duel, You Ling felt that it was possible - but with this system task, the Typhon and the Thunder in front of him, You Ling would absolutely not give way to his opponent.

Besides, judging from the look in Miss Kurosaki Ruri's eyes, she is unlikely to let him go. She will probably do the same as her brother at the beginning of the duel and throw out the duel medal as a challenge as soon as they meet.

Judging from the seemingly unfriendly reactions of the Kurosaki siblings, although You Ling felt that he should not have much interaction with these two people, it was obvious that they came with bad intentions - thinking about it carefully, it might be that Shark Sister, the little traitor, said something to them and was really disobedient.

At this time, the dome of the duel venue once again broadcast that the next round of duels was about to begin. After hearing You Ling's declaration of victory, John looked even happier and reached out to pat You Ling's shoulder again.

But this time the force was obviously greater than before, obviously to encourage him.

In response to this, You Ling did not have any other reaction, he just smiled and nodded.

As he walked onto the stage, his eyes swept across the void in front of him.

There, a system light screen that only he could see emerged out of thin air - and in it, the cards that the wandering spirits had obtained through recent missions, as well as those assisted by the system, were listed one by one.

——Since no matter how you look at it, the little Kurosaki girl you’ll be facing soon is not a simple duelist...then You Ling will naturally not sit still and wait for death.

Although in the previous life, when playing the Card God game and getting bored after mastering it, You Ling would also play some self-limiting challenges like banning magic cards and trap cards... But that was only when he had completed the game countless times and felt bored.

Most of the time, he was quite cautious when meeting his boss for the first time.

It can even be said that it is so cautious that it can be said to be foolproof - You Ling's eyes swept across the overflowing card inventory in front of him, and several tactics and cards suddenly emerged in his mind.

——The words engraved on my mind come to mind.

—Leave my red tape behind…here!

***********

This time on the other side.

You Ling's next opponent, Kurosaki Ruri, and her other two friends were at the same place - they also heard the broadcast at this time, and they all slowly stood up, preparing to walk towards their target direction.

This round, it was the turn of Shark Sister, who had just fought, to sit there and rest, while the brother and sister Kurosaki Ruri and Kurosaki Hayabusa went on stage to fight.

Perhaps it was because John's intuition was really strong, his guess was indeed correct - in the first round, the reason why Kurosaki Ruri was able to come over and sit down to watch the duel was because her opponent chose to surrender directly due to the Dark Night Shrike's notorious reputation.

Ms. Liuli was actually already used to this kind of thing. Since she had no opponent, it was natural for her to come and watch the duel with the Onii-chan she cared about.

But in this round, her opponent, the strong man who had just killed her Onii-chan with full health, probably had no reason to escape.

Not to mention the opponent, even Kurosaki Ruri herself didn't want the opponent to give up the fight like that.

As for this duelist who piqued her a little interest, You Ling, Kurosaki Ruri only hoped that he would stay and let her torture him through dueling in the duel arena...ah, no, she wanted to get to know this guy better.

Thinking of this, a smile involuntarily appeared on Kurosaki Ruri's face, but to others, this smile would probably just be a gentle and peaceful smile... Only Kurosaki Ruri herself and a few of her close friends knew that she was actually a girl with a bad personality.

At this time, noticing his sister's expression, Kurosaki Hayabusa's face suddenly changed, as if he wanted to say something.

But he probably felt that he had just lost the duel, and he really didn't know what to say about his sister's upcoming duel and You Ling, the opponent who had defeated him once.

"...Come on, Liuli." So, after struggling for a while, he could only say "Come on" dryly to his caring sister, and then passed by her awkwardly and walked forward.

However, the way he looked back every two steps and hesitated perfectly portrayed the awkward personality of a sister-con.

Kurosaki Ruri was obviously used to her beloved brother's behavior, so she just nodded towards Onii-chan without much other expression.

As for the other friend present, Shark Girl who was going to take a break in this round, she was also sitting in the audience, looking at her good sister Kurosaki Ruri with some worry in her eyes.

Then, as if she had gone through a fierce ideological struggle, she pondered for a moment and leaned forward, raising her fist and waving it towards Liuli: "Come on! You have to win... Liuli!"

However, after watching You Ling and Kurosaki Hayabusa fight earlier, Shark Girl's voice sounded somewhat off.

Therefore, Kurosaki Ruri instantly noticed Shark Girl's abnormality, and then she looked deeply at her good friend - and the moment their eyes met, Shark Girl felt that she was almost seen through by the person in front of her.

But after that, Kurosaki Ruri didn't do anything more, just nodded slightly to Shark Sister: "Don't worry, of course I will do my best..."

Then, she turned her head and a faint voice came: "So Li Xu... after I come back after winning, let's have a good chat."

The more Shark Girl listened to these words, the more guilty she felt... In the end, she could only nod awkwardly.

********** Abandoned (II)

When You Ling stepped onto the duel arena and stood in his position, he saw that the black-haired girl opposite seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

After seeing You Ling standing in position, Kurosaki Ruri on the opposite side politely saluted towards this side.

Then, just like how Kurosaki Hayabusa introduced herself at the beginning of the duel, she smiled softly and nodded at You Ling: "My name is Kurosaki Ruri..."

"Just now, my good-for-nothing brother was taken care of by you."

The other party treated him politely, so You Ling had no reason to show any ill will, so he just nodded: "—— Wanzhangmu You Ling."

However, in his opinion, the seemingly extremely polite expression and words on the other side must have other meanings when translated... The meaning behind the words "Brother is taken care of by you" is also obvious.

Moreover, compared with her gentle and peaceful appearance, the meaning contained in the cold eyes of the girl opposite was extremely obvious - You Ling felt that this person almost had the words "I will beat you to death" written on her face.

Immediately afterwards, the opponent's behavior also confirmed You Ling's point of view - after a very polite greeting, using courtesy before force, Kurosaki Ruri took out the duel medal that belonged to her from her pocket in the next moment, and then, like her brother Kurosaki Hayabusa before, threw it onto the field without mercy.

You Ling even noticed that Kurosaki Ruri's medal was of the same type as his brother's, which meant that it was a higher level medal than those of Alit Shark Sister and the others.

And what this girl meant was very clear - the so-called "brother is under your care" means that in this duel, I have to "take good care of him" in return.

You Ling didn't say much about this. He nodded in agreement and directly drew the cards from the duel disk.

You Ling didn't intend to waste time talking to someone he didn't know very well - and judging from the behavior of the bad woman opposite, she didn't seem to be a talkative person either.

In other words...besides talking, the other side couldn't wait to start taking action to kill us.

Of course, You Ling would not do as she wished so easily - after seeing the message on the duel disk that she would attack first in this duel, You Ling lowered her head and scanned the cards in her hand very seriously.

——Now, after traveling to this world for a while, You Ling feels that he has integrated into this world to a considerable extent.

——Among them, one obvious manifestation was that he felt that he seemed to have gradually come to understand those anime duelists, their free-spirited dueling style that so-called waited for the deck's response.

Because, it seems that in this world where cards do contain power and decks may actually have consciousness, your deck may actually respond to the tactics you think of before the duel, and deal you cards according to the duelist's thoughts.

——For example, You Ling’s current hand.

"Well then, the first action of the Main Phase!" Since Heaven had given him this kind of hand, You Ling certainly wouldn't hesitate. After figuring out what he had to do in the first two turns, he decisively extended his right hand and said, "Activate the effect of the monster in my hand—Cyber Dragon: Next Generation Star!"

"Discard a monster card from your hand and Special Summon it to your side..." You Ling said as he showed the Cyber Dragon card he had just sent to the Graveyard, the Cost card, to the opponent. "Then, after Special Summoning it, you can select a Machine-Type monster with 2100 ATK or DEF in your Graveyard and Revive it!"

The first thing to be achieved is the first tactic in his hand, which is also the basis for everything - that is to create two five-star monsters with the first attack. In any case, he will use Nova Infinity first to show respect!

And this was only the first step of what You Ling had to do - but the strange thing was that, in just the first step of the turn with the initiative, You Ling clearly felt something was wrong.

This was an ominous premonition that came from the duelist's intuition—followed by the strange feeling that the operation of the duel disk was extremely choppy, as if it was blocked by something.

You Ling even felt that this feeling was somewhat familiar... When he thought about it carefully, it was actually a bit like when he was using online dueling software in his previous life. When he connected to duel with him, the opponent had a hole in his hand, which prevented him from operating properly. It was a weird feeling.

—Wait…hand pit?

Thinking about the words and phrases that he hadn't seen for a long time and that were even a little unfamiliar to him, You Ling's pupils shrank and he immediately realized something.
