The protagonist of the Yu-Gi-Oh! world might be the same person.

Even though Li has grown up by two years, she still has the figure of a little girl. He can't bring himself to hurt such a little girl.

John, who was standing nearby, couldn't understand the exchange between the two, and spoke up to remind them, "Um, can we begin now, Judai?"

"Oh, oh..." Jaden finally snapped out of her daze, her expression turning serious. "I'm available anytime!"

"Then I won't hold back!"

Ah, I couldn't be happier!

The two then unfolded their duel disks and began their duel.

"Duel!!" ×2

[Yujo Judai: LP4000]

John Anderson: LP4000

"I'll attack first!"

John quickly seized the initiative.

"My turn, draw a card!"

John Anderson's hand cards: 5 → 6

He glanced at his hand, feeling uncertain: 'Although Crystal Beast is strong, my opponent is Jaden. A deck missing its ace is fine against most opponents, but it's far from enough against Jaden...'

"I summon the [Jade Turtle Beast] in Defense mode!"

A flash of white light appeared, and a translucent emerald emerged on the field. Then, a burst of green light erupted, and the gem shattered, revealing a giant tortoise with green gems growing from its back, standing in a defensive posture. (It retracts its head.)

[Jade Turtle Beast: Defense 2000]

Everyone looked at the alluring emerald and exclaimed in admiration.

Regardless of the strength of the deck, the gorgeous scenes in the virtual images are very appealing, especially to girls who like pretty gems.

At that moment, Judai heard an old voice coming from inside the tortoise shell.

“I was fast asleep, why am I here, John?”

"This is the Duel Academy I told you about."

"Oh, this is it. There are indeed many children with good eyesight."

"Please, you have to do your best! And today's opponent is no pushover; a moment's carelessness could get you eliminated!"

"I see, he really does have an incredibly determined look in his eyes."

Judai listened to every word of John's conversation with the voice.

"So you're the duelist chosen by the elves? No wonder Mr. Pegasus gave you the card."

John smiled smugly and replied, "That's right, they're my friends...no, I should say family."

"You treat Duel Spirits like family? You're quite an interesting person." — Qi

"You are too..." Liu

John said this, and buried two cards in the back of his hand.

"I'll then cover two more cards, end of turn."

John Anderson's cue cards: 6→3 4

"Let's go!"

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yuki Jaden's card pack: 5→6] Tsukasa

After scanning his hand, Judai quickly came up with a plan. (Flying)

He quickly drew a card from his hand and placed it on the Duel Disk: "I summon [Elemental HERO Solid Warrior] in Attack Position."

Buzz!

A flash of golden light appeared on the field, and the figure of Solid State Warrior appeared in front of the X-Generation.

[Elemental Hero Solid Warrior: Attack Power 1300]

"Based on Solid Warrior's effect, I can Special Summon one more Level 4 or lower [Hero] monster from my hand."

Jaden then revealed another monster card: "Come forth, [Destiny HERO Gunner]!"

Another light effect flashed across the field, and a white-hatted man wearing a tattered scarf and a white suit appeared.

[Destiny Hero: Gunner - Attack Power 1600]

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 6 → 4]

He then pointed to the white-hatted man who had just appeared and shouted, "The special effect of the gun-drawing man is activated!"

"When this card is Special Summoned by the effect of a [HERO] monster, each player draws one card from their Deck."

John grinned upon hearing this: "Oh, I get one too? Thanks!"

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 4 → 5]

John Anderson's hand cards: 3 → 4

"Thanks too soon..." Jaden chuckled, then tossed out the card he had drawn: "I activate the Spell Card [Fusion] from my hand, fusing the Solidman on the field and the Neosman in my hand, two [HERO] monsters!"

"Show yourself, [Phantom Hero Admirer]!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a smaller version of Ultraman appeared next to Solid Man. The two heroes' figures overlapped and were instantly swallowed by the fusion vortex, releasing a dazzling flash.

The next moment, a dark figure with a fluttering skirt descended through the light and landed beside Jaden.

[Phantom Hero Admirer: Attack Power 2800]

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 5 → 3]

"And because Solidman is sent from the field to the Graveyard by the effect of a Spell Card, a [Hero] monster in the Graveyard is Special Summoned in Defense Position."

Immediately afterwards, the smaller version of Ultraman reappeared in front of Jaden in a defensive stance.

[Elemental Hero Newcomer: Astronaut - Defense 1300]

Watching Jaden's smooth maneuver, John looked on with admiration: "Wow, that's amazing! He easily mastered three different heroes. If we weren't in the middle of a duel, I'd really like to ask you for an autograph!"

Chapter 207 Baoyu's Exquisite Skill

"An autograph? That'll have to wait until after the duel. Right now, the duel is more important..."

As Judai spoke, he pointed to the worshipper beside him.

"The effect of the monster that worships humans is activated once per turn. During this turn, the ATK and DEF of 1 monster your opponent controls are reduced by the same amount as the ATK of the monster controlled by the opponent."

"Nani?!"

John was startled to see black smoke rising from the giant tortoise in front of him.

[Jade Turtle Beast: Attack 600 → 0, Defense 2000 → 100]

"Oh no! My defense has been reduced to 100 points...?!"

"John, don't hesitate."

"I know."

At the same time, Judai waved his hand and shouted, "Go! Gunner, attack the Jade Turtle!"

The man who drew the gun immediately raised his right hand in a pistol gesture, and then a phantom image of a pistol appeared, with a beam of light shooting out from the D-shaped muzzle.

boom--!

The jade turtle, pierced by the light bullet, instantly exploded into ashes with a loud bang.

"It's now!"

John swung his right hand toward his feet and shouted, "Activate the trap card, [Twin Jewels]!"

"When your Crystal Beast monster is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, select 1 Crystal Beast monster from your Deck as a Continuous Spell, crystallize it, and occupy the Spell & Trap Zone. All battle damage you take this turn becomes zero."

"Come on, Ruby Beast!"

A flash of red light appeared, and a red crystal stone emerged beneath his feet.

"Did you avoid the subsequent damage? Pretty clever..."

Judai shrugged, not paying any attention, and then buried a card in his hand in the back row.

"Cover a card and the turn ends."

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 3 → 2]

Asuka: "Setting up the Crystal Beast as a continuous spell on the field is somewhat similar to Phantom Heroes."

Amidst the gasps of the audience, John began his second round.

"I'm on it!"

"My turn, draw a card!"

John Anderson's hand cards: 4 → 5

John glanced at his hand, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Come on, [Jade Beast Yellow Tiger]!"

A flash of yellow light appeared, and a crystal-clear yellow gemstone emerged on the field. Then, the light burst forth, and the gemstone exploded instantly, revealing a white tiger with a single horn on its head, crouching before him.

[Jade Beast Yellow Tiger: Attack Power 1600]

John Anderson's hand cards: 5 → 4

"please."

Huang Yuhu turned his head to look at the boy behind him, "As expected, I still have to make an appearance, John."

“Hehe…” John looked back at Jaden on the other side, “When Topaz attacks a monster, its attack power increases by 400 points.”

Judai: "That only gives me 2000 attack power, not enough to beat someone who worships me."

"Of course I know that."

John then pointed to the cover card on his left and shouted, "Open the cover card, the perpetual trap [Jewel's Exquisite Trap]!"

"Only one of this card can be on your field. All Crystal Beast monsters on your field gain their original DEF value as their ATK."

[Jade Tiger Beast: Attack Power 1600 → 2600]

Combined with the effects of Huang Yuhu himself, it just exceeded those of the worshipper, so Judai had nothing to say about that.

"It's not over yet. I activate the Spell Card [Monster Resurrection] from my hand and Special Summon a monster from my Graveyard."

John Anderson's hand cards: 4 → 3

"Awaken, Jade Turtle!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of light effects flashed across the field, and the Jade Turtle reappeared on the field, but this time it was no longer hiding its body.

"Because of the effect of [Jade's Exquisite Beauty], the Jade Turtle's attack power increases its defense value."

[Jade Beast: Attack Power 600 → 2600]

Then he pointed at the opposite side and shouted, "Go! Huang Yuhu attacks the worshipper! Huang Yu pounces!"

At his command, Huang Yuhu pounced forward.

"And at this moment, Huang Yuhu's attack power is further increased in this damage calculation!"

[Jade Tiger Beast: Attack Power 2600 → 3000]

boom--!

The worshippers who were attacked and killed by Huang Yuhu were instantly blown to pieces.

"Uh......"

[Yujo Jaden: LP4000→3800]

"After the battle, Huang Yuhu's attack power dropped back to 2600 points."

[Jade Tiger Beast: Attack Power 3000 → 2600]

“But the Emerald Turtle hasn’t attacked yet,” John continued, giving instructions. “The Emerald Turtle, attack the man who drew his gun!”
