A duelist never gives up!

So Sera took the initiative to stand up and become the one to refute, which not only helped others to put forward their demands, but also gave Yuan Qi the opportunity to speak, breaking the awkward atmosphere and eliminating any possible grudges.

"What a smart and brave girl." Ai's lips curled slightly, and she was the first to speak out Yuan Qi's inner thoughts. "Let me answer you. After all, it was actually my personal wish in the beginning..."

“No, that’s my wish now too.”

Yuan Qi slowly said, "The question is, 'Can destruction bring about a better rebirth?' Right?"

"That's right." Sera looked directly at Yuan Qi and said, "How are you going to prove that the new world will be better than the current one?"

“Actually, I’ve thought about this question.”

After a long silence, Yuan Qi slowly said, "Now I can tell you with absolute certainty, it will, absolutely, be better than it is now."

"First, let me tell you what the new world is like." Yuan Qi looked directly at Sera and said, "First, humans will take the initiative to explore, discover, and create new energy sources, rather than relying solely on the power of duel. In this process, humans may be injured and damaged, but they will definitely discover new areas, new knowledge, and new worlds. The power of duel only meets current needs. It is not truly omnipotent, right?"

"Secondly, society will no longer be dominated by duels. Basic necessities like food, clothing, housing, and transportation will be elevated to a higher level and receive greater development. The same applies to spiritual culture like painting and music. Honestly, don't you get tired of this constant revolving around duels?"

"at last."

"When deciding important matters, there's no need for something as frivolous as a duel." Yuan Qi pointed out the imprecision of duels without hesitation. "This kind of thing where the more powerful cards a deck has, the stronger it is is essentially a tool for the upper class to exploit the lower class!"

"The only thing left for the lower class is illusory luck and talent," Yuan Qi said calmly, "but if two decks of vastly different strengths were to duel, the weaker deck wouldn't win no matter how lucky it was."

"As for talent...how many people have it?" Yuan Qi looked at Julie and said, "Julie's talent isn't that great."

Everyone present looked at Julie silently without making any rebuttal.

"That's because you guys are so talented!" Julie said unhappily.

"But even so, there are many people in the Duelist Academy who are less talented than Julie." Yuan Qi said seriously, "Not to mention those who can't even get into the Duelist Academy."

"In other words, once a dispute arises between two people, the one with the stronger deck can completely dominate the weaker one, not through reason or law, but through dueling." Yuan Qi clenched his fists and said coldly, "In other words, through strength."

"A society where power determines right and wrong, and order, is barbaric and unstable," Yuan Qi stated his conclusion without hesitation. "I believe we should pursue a more civilized society and establish more reasonable rules. Therefore, I will eliminate the power of dueling, destroy the current rules, and establish new ones!"

"Can destruction bring about a better rebirth?"

"Destruction will inevitably lead to a better rebirth!"

Honestly, Yuan Qi originally thought that he would express his views in a more calm and organized manner.

But the more he spoke, the hotter his heart became, as if a flame was beating in his chest.

"It seems that you have surpassed me, Ah Qi." Ai, who was floating in the air, looked at Yuan Qi with a gentle expression and whispered softly.

At first, they just agreed and understood my theory, then they had their own thoughts, and then they evolved into mature beliefs and ideas.

That’s great, Ah Qi. I’m happy that you are good at thinking, that you and I have the same goal, and that you love this world.

If you don't love this world, you can't say this.

"sounds good."

Facing Yuan Qi's long speech, Sera only nodded slightly and said, "But it's all just empty talk."

"So you want to come to me and witness my actions with your own eyes?" Yuan Qi stretched out his hand.

Sera raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said, "With so many people here, who are you inviting with this hand?"

"Can't we stack them together?" Yuan Qi said helplessly, turning his palm to the back of his hand.

"Okay, I'm reluctantly convinced by your words." Sera gently placed her slender and weak body on the back of Yuan Qi's hand.

"Actually, I don't quite understand what Yuan Qi is talking about, but it's not a bad thing, right?" Xuefeng put his hand on him embarrassedly. "If that's the case, then there's no problem."

"I think I understand. How should I put it... I'm actually still a little reluctant." Julie murmured with her eyes lowered.

"Even if you don't agree with my philosophy, you're still our partner." Yuan Qi chuckled at Julie, "Don't overthink it. Just do what you want."

"I'm an ordinary person."

Julie spoke slowly.

"Yeah." Yuan Qi nodded.

"I don't have any lofty dreams. I just don't want to be an ordinary passerby."

"Ah."

"But even so, I wouldn't dare set my goals too high. I'll be content if I can become a professional duelist, return home to make my grandmother happy, and enjoy the admiring gazes of others."

"Ah."

"I actually did this at home a while ago. Honestly... it felt amazing. Although I'm not a professional duelist, I'm already pretty strong. I've even been on TV. Everyone thinks I'm amazing. My grandma even said I'm her pride..." Julie said with a self-deprecating smile, "Back then, I felt like I'd reached the pinnacle of happiness, and I'm sure I'll continue to be so happy in the future."

"Yeah." Yuan Qi didn't want to talk much now. He was afraid that if he said one more word, Julie would choose to join his side - which also meant that Julie would give up the happiness she had worked so hard to get.

"So I'm satisfied." Julie said calmly, placing her hand on the back of everyone's hands.

"Julie..." Yuan Qi stared at Julie in a daze and subconsciously called out her name.

"Yuan Qi, thank you for your help all the time. Now it's finally my turn to help you." Julie said with a faint smile on her face.

Chapter 82: For the New World.

The appearance of Yuan Qi changed the fate of many people, but if you ask who was most affected.

That person must be Julie.

If Julie had not witnessed the dark duel between Yuan Qi and the two men in black robes with her own eyes, she would not have come to her senses.

If it weren't for Yuan Qi's invitation, Julie would not have been able to make friends with Xuefeng and others, would not have been able to fight against the Red Lotus Society and participate in the National High School Competition, and would not have been able to obtain such a powerful card deck as the Golden Kingdom.

If it weren't for Yuan Qi, she might even have gone astray. Even if she hadn't gone astray, she would have lived a mediocre life.

Although Yuan Qi himself did not care about these things, Julie always remembered Yuan Qi's kindness to her in her heart.

And now she can finally help, so why should she refuse?

Then, four hands were placed together, and the atmosphere of friendship filled the small room, making people unconsciously want to curl up their lips.

"Ahem, don't forget about me." Ai placed his hand on top of everyone else's and said, "Is there someone missing?"

Everyone looked at Shigure who was leaning against the wall.

"Don't look at me, I won't participate." Shi Yu said lazily, "Sister, I'm an adult now, and I have a lot to consider. Not stopping you is the limit of what I can do."

"Thank you." Xuefeng chuckled.

"No, no, no." Ai shook his head and said, "I'm talking about Nero. You haven't forgotten her, have you?"

"I just didn't have the chance to ask." Yuan Qi would certainly not forget Nero. Rather, Nero's exquisite appearance was something that anyone who had seen it once would never forget, right?

"As for Nero... he should still be on his way," Sera explained. "After you and Xuefeng left school, the three of us often practiced dueling together. At the beginning, Julie hadn't fully mastered the Golden Kingdom, so Nero was able to fight Julie back and forth. After Julie mastered the Golden Kingdom..."

"No one can beat Nero." Sera spread her hands helplessly. "So she went back to get a more powerful deck. It should arrive in the next two days, right?"

"So people like Nero should be the ones we want to defeat, right?" Julie reacted.

After all, everyone worked hard to collect cards, while Nero went straight home to get a more powerful deck...

"Nero himself is actually quite good." Xuefeng said with two dry coughs.

"So, do we have to tell her what we're talking about now?" Sera looked at Yuan Qi and asked, "Isn't that a bit inappropriate? After all, she's only 14 years old."

"So I'm only 16 years old..." Xuefeng raised his hand weakly.

"People like you won't change at 26," Sera complained.

"At least she'll become prettier than she is now," Julie said without hesitation, backstabbing Sera, "instead of stopping growing like someone else."

"I suspect you are mocking me."

"Didn't you always say that you had secondary development?"

Seeing the scene becoming chaotic, Yuan Qi quickly said, "Okay, okay, no personal attacks."

"I kind of miss Nero now," Sera sighed. "At least she's on my side at times like this."

"If Nero doesn't join us, will we still be able to meet often in the future?" Xuefeng suddenly asked.

"If everything goes well, it will be finished next spring." Yuan Qi said softly, "Probably in a few months."

"It's not going well?" Julie said suddenly.

"Probably we can't meet often." Sera said lightly, "After all, we are already opposites."

Xuefeng bit her lip and said with a hint of sadness in her tone, "Will Nero refuse to join us?"

"No, she'll definitely nod expressionlessly." Sera sighed, "That's why I hesitated whether to tell her."

"Is it really okay to just leave suddenly without saying anything?" Xuefeng asked worriedly, "Wouldn't that be too cruel for Nero?"

"Does she really have enough judgment? Can she make choices that follow her heart?" Julie revealed the essence of the problem.

That’s right, Nero is too immature. She probably cannot understand Yuan Qi’s purpose and behavior. She may just follow everyone blindly and cannot make her own judgment.

"Tell her." Yuan Qi finally spoke, "Nero is our partner, isn't she? She has the right to know and choose."

After saying this, Yuan Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he put a new stone under his pressure.

The secret that had been weighing on my heart was finally told to my friends, but it dragged everyone into the vortex.

Is this really a good idea?

"Don't get me wrong." Sera rolled her eyes, as if she understood Yuan Qi's thoughts. "I agree with your philosophy and I'm helping you for the sake of the new world, not out of any friendship."

Sera did not lie. If Yuan Qi could not explain it clearly, Sera would persuade Yuan Qi to give up doing such boring things.

"Yes, I joined for the new world, so don't think too much, Hara Nana." Xuefeng also spoke hurriedly.

Since classmate Yuan Qi spoke so confidently, he must not be doing anything bad, right?

"Even if you didn't say those things, I would still help you, but I'm sure you'll have doubts in your heart," Julie said calmly. "I also want to see if the new world you talk about can really come true."

It's not just because of friendship, but also because of recognition. They don't just lend a helping hand because of Yuan Qi, but also because they have their own thoughts and awareness.

"Okay, let's work together!" Ai made such a summary, which made everyone focus on Ai again.

"By the way, why are you called Ayi?"

"What's the difference between you gods and us humans?"

"Where do you usually hide? Are you always floating in the air?"

Ai looked at the crowd that had gathered around her, a panicked expression on her cute little face. "Take your time, ask one by one..."

"Can I pinch your face?"

"Huh? What are you talking about? I'm the duel..."

"Eh? Wait? What are you guys going to do?!"

"Huh?! Ah Qi! Help!"

Cheerful laughter came from the room and reached the ears of a little girl.

"Let's talk about business?"

Yudachi, who was watching TV on the sofa, sneered: "It's obvious that you think I'm too young and don't want to play with me!"

Would you laugh so loudly when talking about serious matters?

He must be playing a game!

And it’s the kind of game that only adults can play!

"Damn it! When I grow up I'll play too, and I won't take you guys with me!" Yuli thought angrily.

Chapter 83: Three o'clock.

Inside the cold laboratory, several researchers in white coats stared at the wavelengths on the screen and whispered, "Impossible..."

"I didn't expect it to be like this... Could it be a coincidence?"

"How is that possible? Everyone's Duel Power is unique. There's no Duel Power with the same ripples in the world. What's more... this is the first time I've seen Duel Power of such high purity on a human."

"But... isn't it too hasty to judge like this?"
