"So it's okay for me to take his life?"
"As long as you can bet something equal to his life, generally speaking, the value of life is only life, which is the so-called life-and-death duel. But I advise you not to do this... The duel in the duel ceremony is absolutely fair. If the other party wants you to die, then you will definitely die, and any means of resurrection will be ineffective. If you intend to participate in the duel ceremony with the intention of playing tricks, I advise you to give up this idea first." Wan Jinbao glanced at Zhao You, as if he looked down on Zhao You very much.
Gambling with your life? You don't even consider who you are? Even a hair lost by Master Yu is worth more than his.
If every untouchable could unconditionally gamble his life with these nobles, wouldn't these nobles have to look at the faces of these untouchables?
"Tsk, after all this talk, isn't it just gambling cards?"
"Cut? NoNoNo." Having said this, Yu Fei was the one who refused to do it. He didn't dare to gamble his life, and besides, the other party was not worth his gamble.
But it's still possible to bet on something else. He said that this guy must pay the price he deserves.
"How about the loser kowtow three times and yell 'Daddy' three times?"
"Heh... Is this the nature of the eldest young master of the Yu family? Just three kowtows? Who are you looking down on?" Zhao You sneered, lifted his sleeves, and exposed his right arm: "Since you can raise the bet, then naturally I can raise it too."
"Not only does the loser have to kowtow three times and yell 'Daddy' three times, but there's also..."
"Each of our right hands!!"
Chapter 12: Killing the chicken to scare the monkey?
"Bet our respective right hands?!"
Wan Jinbao widened his eyes. He thought this kid was just a little crazy, but he didn't expect him to be so crazy. In this era, losing the right hand basically means he has no chance of becoming a duelist.
Yu Fei looked a little ugly, even he was a little stunned by Zhao You's ruthlessness.
"Why? You're just a stinking orphan... and I."
"Don't push me. If you don't dare to bet, you'll yell at me that I'm a wimp when we meet next time, and avoid me from now on. Why are you wasting so much time on words, you little wimp."
Zhao You directly interrupted the opponent's spell and gave him a middle finger. In this world where you can only use your mouth but not your hands, Zhao You can easily scold the five opponents by yourself.
When people around heard what Zhao You said, they were shocked. These words not only scolded Yu Fei, but also scolded Yu Fei's entire family.
Brother, do you really know the meaning of these four words "Dueling Nobles"?
The fat man felt a chill in his heart, as if the scene in his dream of the two of them galloping through the fish market with their swords together was no longer there.
"Let's bet! You dead bastard without parents! What's the point of betting with you? I want both of your hands! Do you dare?"
As expected, Zhao You's words provoked this young master, who had always looked down on others. He had never experienced such humiliation before. Rage had long since devoured his rationality, his eyes reddened to the point of redder. If it weren't for the class teacher who was still adhering to the bottom line, he would have challenged Zhao You to a dark duel.
When did a guy who was treated like a dog by him start to treat his master like this?
"Why not?" Seeing this, Zhao You snatched the contract from Wan Jinbao's hand, wrote his name on it with a stroke of the pen, and then slapped the contract on Yu Fei's chest.
Seeing this, Wan Jinbao thought to himself that he was in trouble and quickly dodged to Yu Fei's side. At this moment, he stopped pretending.
"Master Yufei, this is just a small duel. There's no need to escalate it to this level! Why are you arguing with a poor student?"
"Do you think I will lose?" Yu Fei, with red eyes, certainly could not tolerate such humiliation.
"Of course not, I just don't think it's necessary."
"Is it unnecessary? Then why don't you kowtow to him next time?" Zhao You added fuel to the fire at the right time.
"You...Teacher, this is for your own good!"
"Come on." Zhao You waved his hand and sneered, "What? Is our Young Master Yu Fei still hesitating? Aren't you going to kill me? Now that the opportunity is right in front of you, why don't you use it?"
"Or are you all in the Yu family arrogant but timid? Aren't you nobles? It's rare to find a noble so cowardly!"
"Enough!" Yu Fei signed his name on the contract viciously. Looking at his gritted teeth expression, it was not difficult to suspect that he wanted to tear Zhao You into pieces on the spot.
The contract is concluded
The eyelid curls after signing the contract slowly dissipated.
This means that the next battle between the two will be a fight to the death. Of course, if you are really scared, you can choose to avoid the battle. This can be considered a benefit for students. As long as you don't fight with him, the contract on this parchment will never be triggered in your lifetime.
Even if he was laughed at as a cowardly lizard, it gave the students a chance to regret their actions.
If official duelists can gamble right now using the duel system, then using the parchment is merely a tactic used by the school against students.
But judging from the expressions of the two men who seemed to wish to kill each other, neither of them would be a coward. Zhao You was unlikely to do so, and Yu Fei was even less likely to do so. For these nobles, face was sometimes more important than life.
Even if he was not a noble, anyone else would probably fight him to the death if they were humiliated like this by Zhao You.
Wan Jinbao's eyelids twitched and he knew that it was impossible to stop them at the moment, so he had to settle for the second best and report the matter.
soon.
The duel between Zhao You and Yu Fei, in which they risked their lives, spread throughout the school in an instant. It was rare for informal duelists these days to make such a big bet unless it was a life-and-death feud, and Wan Jinbao was not surprised to be severely scolded by the school.
He was originally asked to be a lobbyist, but ended up making the situation worse.
But now that things have come to this, the school can only accept it and try every possible means to do public relations. Although dueling is above all else these days, such a risky thing to do in the third year of high school is something that the school cannot escape blame if it is held accountable.
Thinking of this, Hai Qing, as the principal, simply stopped hiding it and instead announced the duel in a high-profile manner.
No matter what the final result is, at least it attracted a lot of traffic, but this traffic was even more exaggerated than Hai Qing imagined.
The reason was that the dueling family behind Yu Fei, one of the duelists, also began to exert their strength at the same time, so that almost overnight half of the people in the city knew that the young master of the Yu family was going to have a duel with a commoner that would put their lives on the line.
Of course, those who came to watch the fun cheered with their hands raised, but there were also many smart people who were worried.
They could see that the Yu family's move was simply to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
The struggle between the rich and the poor has been going on since ancient times.
Since the rules of the duel world were established, the first batch of duelists who took the plunge considered themselves to be from aristocratic families, and used the rare and precious cards in their hands to continuously harvest those from less fortunate families, resulting in a snowball-like growth. However, this world is ultimately still the world of the majority of people, and the so-called duelists are those who fight their way out of extremely difficult battles.
Among those who stand at the top of the world today, the ones with the least are from aristocratic families.
This also made the family's influence in the world less than before. Those predecessors who bravely forged ahead used their deeds to prove the future of duelists.
If the aristocratic families want to expand their influence and have the world recognize their superior identity and status, they must of course achieve results. With the continuous exploration and excavation of the Tower of Babel and the continuous accumulation of cards, the young people of the new era are naturally stronger than the previous generation.
Although the duel between Zhao You and Yu Fei was just a trivial fight between a wealthy family and a poor family, it could also be seen as a duel between young people of the new era to a large extent.
Only a fool would think that the orphaned boy would choose such a duel that would risk his arms just to prove himself.
If a duelist has even a 1% chance of winning, the situation will always be full of suspense.
Because you never know whether your next card will lead you to victory or failure.
The Yu family mansion stands in a prosperous area of the city. Its architectural style is unique and elegant, like a carefully crafted work of art.
As the young master, Yu Fei had an even gloomier look on his face. He had been sitting on the sofa motionless for several hours, as if he couldn't wait to jump to the next day and kill that little beast.
"Haha, that's rare... You can actually sit in the living room for three hours. What did that guy do to make you so angry?" The person who spoke was a young man of about twenty years old, with conspicuous earrings and short hair that was slightly messy but full of personality, as if every strand of hair was telling of his rebellion against convention.
"Go away! Stop bothering me when you're angry!"
"Haha, it seems you are really angry. Then that kid deserves to die."
The young man's name is Yu Kai, and he is a well-known playboy in the Yu family. However, compared with this unknown young master, this playboy is very talented in dueling and is now a junior student in Tongtian Academy.
"Why are you back?"
An elderly man slowly walked into the living room. He stood tall and straight, and though time had carved deep wrinkles into his face, his eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, gleaming with wisdom and majesty. His frosty white hair was neatly tied back. He wore a luxurious robe, the hem of which swayed gently with his steady steps, revealing an unspoken dignity and majesty.
"The news of my younger brother gambling with someone has spread to our college, so of course I have to come and watch the fun." Yu Kai shrugged. Yes, it was fun. Even such a big thing as gambling with one's hands was just a fun way to kill time in her eyes.
After all, he didn't think that they, as a noble family, would lose to a mere peasant.
"But if you call me good brother, I can give you some good cards." Yu Kai twisted his hand, and a handful of cards unfolded from his hand like a palm-leaf fan.
"No need. He's just a stinky orphan. If I can kill him once, I can kill him a second time!" In terms of arrogance alone, Yu Fei, as a younger brother, may be far superior to Yu Kai.
"is it?"
"Xiao Fei!" The old man glanced at Yu Fei. Although the latter was angry, he did not dare to act rashly in front of his father. He could only snort, lift one leg, and then lean on the expensive leather sofa.
"You deserve to win this duel, but my requirement is not just winning. I want you to win beautifully, win quickly, and win so that those peasants will not dare to disrespect our family members anymore!" The old man's words were sonorous and powerful, and then he waved his hand, and the servants on both sides handed a stack of brand new cards to Yu Fei.
Looking at those luxurious and powerful cards, even Yu Fei couldn't help but take a breath, and then a cruel smile appeared on his face.
"Father, are you trying to make an example of someone?" Seeing these cards that were not supposed to be used by students, Yu Kai, the older brother, quickly understood his father's plan.
"Of course. Now a mere orphan dares to challenge our Yu family. In a few years, I'm afraid anyone will be able to shit on our heads." The old man snorted coldly, and then his rough hand slapped Yu Fei's shoulder.
"In this battle, you must demonstrate the dignity of our Yu family. Victory is the only option, defeat is not! Do you understand?"
"Haha, don't worry, Dad. With these cards, it'll be hard to lose!"
Yu Fei smiled happily. At this moment, he was even a little grateful to Zhao You. If it weren't for him, his father might not be willing to give him these cards.
Seeing Yu Fei trotting into his room holding these rare cards, the old man sighed. If possible, he didn't want to give the cards to his second son right away.
Their generation has proven that the rarity of a card doesn't tell the whole story in a duel.
"Do you want me to go get that guy over there..." Yu Kai made a knife gesture.
"No, now that things have gotten so serious, the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. If you go now, wouldn't it be obvious that our family is bullying others by taking advantage of their power? Then those people from the Duel Association will have a lot of things to do."
"Then Dad...will you let me go without worry?"
"I've already done some research. The guy lost both his parents when he was young, and has been supported by his lame grandfather. He has some business acumen, but his dueling skills are nothing to behold. He's been ingenious, though, and put together an ancient mechanical deck."
"Ancient machinery?" Yu Kai's expression changed.
"Don't worry, it's just a disabled deck. I know someone in the Chamber of Commerce, and I know exactly what cards he has. I know what you're worried about. Are you thinking he might have drawn the Ancient Mechanical Giant, so he built this deck?"
"Haha, don't worry. Even if he really has a giant, so what? What can a mere orphan do with the giant?" The old man seemed to see through it, with a disdainful expression on his face.
"Although Xiaoyu is young, aggressive, and proud, he may suffer a serious fall in the future."
"but.."
"That's definitely not now!"
----------------------
"The wind is so noisy today."
I just walked into the school, and unlike the usual lively atmosphere, today's atmosphere can be said to be particularly solemn.
The main gate of the school was also blocked by a group of incomprehensible people. Judging from their clothes, they were all rich or noble. There were even quite a few reporters and photographers. When they saw Zhao You, they rushed over frantically but were stopped by a row of bodyguards, which allowed Zhao You to enter the venue smoothly.
The large playground facing the main gate had been set up as a duel venue at some point in time, and even had special spectator seats.
Zhao You glanced inside and saw the principal, who was always known for his old-fashioned nature, showing a fawning smile in the audience. It was obvious that the people who came to watch the game this time were extraordinary.
"It looks like the real boss is here. It's said that heroes emerge from youth since ancient times. When I was his age, let alone a duel with both hands at stake, I would feel heartbroken for a long time even if it was just a card." The fat old man sitting in the main seat saw Zhao You walking in slowly from the school gate, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but grin.
"Haha, that kid can't compare with you. He is notoriously timid." The old principal wiped the cold sweat from his head and thanked God that after waiting for so long, this kid finally came.
Although he arrived at the last minute, he still came. If he had deserted at the critical moment, not only would he not be able to continue serving as the principal, not to mention this kid.
A duelist can lose or die, but he can never escape.
In this world where duels decide everything, this is about dignity and the bottom line of school spirit.
"Is that you? The guy who challenged my little brother." Yu Kai leaned against the railing outside the playground, as if he had been waiting for Zhao You for some time.
"Your little brother?" Zhao You chuckled. "Why don't I remember challenging anyone today?"
"Hey, don't tell me you're chickening out. A lot of important people came to watch your duel today."
"Oh~" Zhao You subconsciously dragged out the sound and deliberately said loudly: "So you are talking about Yu Fei. Sorry... I have never regarded him as an opponent, so for a moment I didn't know who you were talking about..."
"You..." Yu Kai was stunned when he heard that. This guy was so pretentious that even he, who was born in a noble family, felt inferior to him. Is this guy really not afraid of death?
"You are really brave. I hope you still have the courage to say such things after the duel." Yu Kai was also amused by Zhao You's anger.
Judging from the information, Zhao You should be a coward. Yu Kai originally wanted to kill his spirit, but now...
Now Yu Kai just wants to stab the person who collects intelligence with a knife. Is this called cowardice?
If this is called being timid, then there is probably no one brave enough in the world.
Even the people in the audience couldn't hold back their excitement anymore, and then they all focused their attention on the principal.
Is this the student you mentioned who is famously timid?
Is it popular to tell lies with open eyes these days?
Fortunately, no one pointed it out. Everyone came here for the duel. Since this kid had the courage to say such words, the game would not be too boring.
The principal, feeling a little embarrassed by the stares, quickly walked off the stage and to the sidelines. After adjusting the prepared microphone, he began, "Welcome everyone to Haiqing College. Our school adheres to the core philosophy of aligning everything with dueling, and we've set up a dueling arena starting in high school. This is a small step for innovation, but a giant leap for the new era."
“I hope both contestants can perform well and be strong!”
