Chapter 532

The duel ended, and Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu Jun won a complete victory.

If there were still audience members making sarcastic remarks or Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu's relatives pointing fingers when Tenjou Hikari's side was at a disadvantage during the previous duel, after the tag-team duel ended, there were only words of praise left.

Those uncles and aunts of Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu, those family relatives he didn't know at all, and those board members, after the duel, rushed over one by one to Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu's side as if they were rushing to be reincarnated, constantly praising his growth and his excellence.

One said he was promising at a young age, another said he had long felt that Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu's future was limitless, and so on.

This left Serena stunned, thinking, weren't the ones who won the duel her master and Jūdai-senpai? Why were there only some reporters and duelist audience members greeting them after the duel ended?

In the audience, a student who looked a bit thin and weak angrily squeezed the armrest of his seat. After realizing that he had squeezed the armrest into fragments, he took a deep look at Jūdai.

Jūdai seemed to have been triggered by some nerve, instinctively looking in this direction, but the moment he looked over, there was no one there.

Tenjou Hikari didn't mind that he didn't get too many cheers after the duel ended; having to face a bunch of fans every day was what gave him a headache, not to mention that before coming, he had already prepared himself: today, here, there was only one protagonist, and that was Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu.

Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu Lightning!

Compared to that, Tenjou Hikari still wanted to chat with the Labyrinth Brothers.

After all, if nothing else, the Gate Guardian series of Fusion Monsters was very high quality.

The two brothers weren't too surprised by Tenjou Hikari's interest.

They had long heard that Tenjou Hikari was a duelist who was keen on Fusion, pursued Fusion, and also liked to pursue all Fusions, so they didn't mind Tenjou Hikari trying or obtaining cards from the Gate Guardian series.

After all, the two of them were more of wanderers and traveling tag-team duelists, and didn't care about such things.

However, what surprised Tenjou Hikari a bit was that the concept of the "Gate Guardian Dimension" did indeed exist, which the Labyrinth Brothers called the "Great Labyrinth Dimension," a peculiar dimension.

But the key was that the coordinates of this dimension were not information they could directly tell Tenjou Hikari.

Because this was a "commercial dimension."

It sounded strange at first, but Tenjou Hikari recalled it and slowly realized.

Although nowadays, for most dimensions, Tenjou Hikari could move freely using the Dimensional Gate as long as he had the coordinates, there were still many specific situations.

The first type, such as the Warrior's Realm or the Magician's Realm, are special dimensions that cannot be entered through normal channels and only those who have been recognized are allowed to enter.

The second type, dimensions that theoretically everyone can enter but are blocked by certain forces, such as the "Hall of Light" directly blocked by Kaiba Corporation; naturally, there is absolutely no way in the world that only Kaiba Seto would do such a thing.

It's just that unlike Kaiba, those other dimensions that were specifically blocked or information-blocked were for other purposes.

"Money."

Like the "Great Labyrinth" dimension known to the Labyrinth Brothers, because its internal structure is a labyrinth, if you can't find or walk out of the labyrinth within 24 hours of entering, you will be forcibly expelled back to the human world, so it is a dimension very suitable for "making money."

The company that discovered this dimension closed the news of this dimension at the first opportunity, held the dimensional coordinates firmly in their hands, and then provided everyone with an opportunity; as long as you pay a certain ticket price, you can enter this dimension once. As for whether there will be results or whether you can get cards, it depends on the duelist's own fortune.

"Humans are truly boring." Tiera, who was listening to all the content from the side, couldn't help but hum twice.

Tenjou Hikari smiled awkwardly, while Jūdai on the side laughed and said to Tiera: "Oh, after all, they spent so many resources to find the dimension... they can't just send it out empty-handed."

Companies that make money through dimensional travel like this are not uncommon in this world, but there are not many companies that can truly find suitable and reasonable ways to make big money.

Tenjou Hikari had always lived in the academy before, and occasionally went out of the academy island to study and work at the Wind and Light Company, so he hadn't come into contact with similar companies.

"Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu Group has cooperation with many such companies." The Labyrinth Brothers explained to Tenjou Hikari and Jūdai, "Like that Minotaur Company, it can be considered one of the most profitable among these emerging companies."

Minotaur Company, an international company that owns the "Great Labyrinth" coordinates, is a relatively large dimension. Besides Gate Guardian, there seem to be many other spirits inside. Plus, no matter how hard you try, you can only stay for 24 hours at a time, so there is no need to worry about not having customers for a ticket, and the money-making is very stable.

Besides Minotaur Company, Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu Group has several other partner companies, all of which are similar businesses.

This is exactly Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu Group's attempt to invest its ambition into the Duel Monsters world.

After all, although their company has developed new dimensional travel equipment, they are pure newcomers in detection, exploration, and dueling. If it weren't for Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu Lightning's sudden emergence and becoming Kaiba's apprentice, they might not have been able to cooperate with these companies.

"If that young man becomes the new helmsman of Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu Group, there should be more companies cooperating with Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu Group in the future, and then you can travel in some closed dimensions." Mi said to Tenjou Hikari and Jūdai.

Gong looked at Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu, who was surrounded by elders and business partners, and added: "However, as a duelist, if you are trapped in your path because of money, you won't be able to move forward—"

This is also their experience.

"I hope your friend won't stop because of the group's affairs."

"Haha, don't worry about that, Lightning is super amazing." Jūdai laughed.

Tenjou Hikari also felt that Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu would never give up dueling because of such things; after all, the reason he tried to compete with his brothers for the leadership of the group was precisely because he wanted to get closer to his master, Kaiba Seto.

In any case, both sides of this duel were very satisfied.

Although they lost to Jūdai Yuki again, this time, the Labyrinth Brothers saw the opponent's progress, and their dueling performance was clearly more satisfying to them than the last duel.

For such veteran duelists, whether a duel can satisfy the audience is no longer the first thing to consider, because they themselves are far more "strict" than the audience.

Last time they lost to Jūdai, it woke them up from money and people's unbridled praise. This time, dueling Jūdai was not only to prove themselves, but also to verify themselves—

When they said Jūdai was in the labyrinth, weren't they also looking for a way out?

After Tenjou Hikari shook hands with the two legendary duelists, he walked towards the duelist spectator area. Serena waved excitedly to cheer and celebrate for the two, and Hui Liu Li couldn't help but applaud gently.

Tenjou Hikari smiled and waved back to the two, while Jūdai sat down in the front seat with a "ha" sound, saying repeatedly: "So interesting, this duel."

The Wind and Light Company side also kept applauding for Tenjou Hikari.

Naturally, they wouldn't go to Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu to get familiar at this time, not to mention that their company's duelist representative was Tenjou Hikari, who was a good friend of Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu Jun, so why would they need to brush their face at this time?

Before, when Tenjou Hikari was chatting with the Labyrinth Brothers, they didn't go over to disturb Tenjou Hikari. Now, after the duel ended, they immediately gathered around to congratulate Tenjou Hikari on his duel, and then asked Jūdai if he was interested in appearing in the upcoming duel footage of their Wind and Light Company.

"Ah—is that it, Fierce Battle! Legendary Duelist 3!" Serena reacted almost immediately and jumped up excitedly.

"3?" Hui Liu Li on the side realized a key point.

Serena nodded repeatedly, telling Hui Liu Li about Tenjou Hikari's previous duel images, and also said that she could go back to the Fusion Department and show them to her later; they were all very famous duels.

Jūdai naturally wouldn't refuse; he was also very happy with this duel, and if more people could see it, that would be even better.

As for the Labyrinth Brothers, the Wind and Light Company had already negotiated with them, so after getting Jūdai's confirmation, they excitedly prepared to send it to the company's publicity department and started editing the new issue of Legendary Duelists.

And at this time.

"Tenjou." I don't know when, Dinosaur Ryuzaki had already stood beside several people.

Tenjou Hikari stood up and greeted him: "Brother Ryuzaki."

"Oh oh oh!! Mr. Dinosaur Ryuzaki, it's the real person!" Jūdai jumped up excitedly and greeted Dinosaur Ryuzaki.

On the other side, Serena explained to Hui Liu Li that this was also a legendary duelist, and also her master Tenjou Hikari's "senior."

Dinosaur Ryuzaki pressed his hat slightly, which was considered a response to Jūdai's words, and then looked at: "Kid, didn't you tell the people in the company before that you wanted to duel with legendary duelists?"

Several people from the Wind and Light Company looked at each other.

Of course they told Dinosaur Ryuzaki about this, but why did Dinosaur Ryuzaki specifically say it out loud.

"Yes." Tenjou Hikari nodded, indicating that he did indeed have such a plan.

At the beginning, his duel with Dinosaur Ryuzaki won a super unfinished product of "The Claw of Hermos." With his duels with Insect Haga and Kaiba Seto from ten years ago, the completion of The Claw of Hermos gradually improved.

Today, after the duel with the Labyrinth Brothers ended, although Tenjou Hikari didn't check his Deck, he knew from experience that the completion of his "The Claw of Hermos" must have improved further.

This is a good thing.

Try hard to find a few more legendary duelists, maybe you'll collect them all!

This is his first "Legendary Dragon," and also the second usable Legendary Dragon, which is still quite exciting.

"Heh..." Dinosaur Ryuzaki's eyes drifted to the side, as if passing through space and seeing a certain place, "Some time ago, I... through connections, contacted an old friend... friend, I guess."

When he said this, his emotions were a bit down.

"In short, I asked that person to help me contact and find an opportunity."

He dug into his pocket, took out a card, and then threw it towards Tenjou Hikari. Tenjou Hikari hurriedly caught the card and looked down.

On the card was an old gentleman with strange hair, stretching out his hands and making a "V" sign.

Tenjou Hikari slowly widened his eyes.

"Wow——————" Jūdai Yuki couldn't help but sigh long and hard when he saw the sketch self-portrait on the card.

What what?

Now even Serena didn't know what happened, jumping on her feet, looking at the thing in Tenjou Hikari's hand, full of curiosity.

"Thi, this is, Muto... Mr. Muto Sugoroku's?" Tenjou Hikari asked tentatively.

Muto?

"That's right—" Dinosaur Ryuzaki took a deep breath, "That guy... Yugi's grandfather."

My god!

Tenjou Hikari was very excited.

This seems to be a pass, a "friend certificate" to go to Domino City to visit the legend of legends, the real "living legend," the Duel King Muto Yugi's own grandfather "Muto Sugoroku"!

"Could it be, this is you asking Mr. Jonouchi—" Tenjou Hikari made a connection and suddenly thought.

Dinosaur Ryuzaki did not deny it.

Duel King Muto Yugi's good brother Jonouchi Katsuya is one of the best duelists in this era, second only to the 【True Legend】 Kaiba Seto who is still active on the front line, and also a person Dinosaur Ryuzaki once hated to the bone.

Honestly, Dinosaur Ryuzaki once had a good relationship with Jonouchi Katsuya for a period of time. Although his "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" lost to Jonouchi, he didn't hold a grudge at that time, and even reminded Jonouchi to be careful of the psychic duelist's psychic powers, etc. At that time, they were not enemies, and could even talk and laugh.

But later, Dinosaur Ryuzaki listened to his "good brother" Insect Haga, joined the Orichalcos faction, and dueled Jonouchi Katsuya. After that, things became very stiff.

After that, Dinosaur Ryuzaki went through many hardships, became the spokesperson for the Wind and Light Company, and then walked to the present, but still had many things that were very regrettable, but he didn't dare to face them.

One is Insect Haga, and the other is Jonouchi Katsuya.

The former is regrettable because of incorrect friendship, and the latter is regrettable because of his own betrayal.

Some time ago, hearing that Tenjou Hikari actually wanted to find "legendary duelists" to challenge, Dinosaur Ryuzaki hesitated for a long time, and finally, without the Wind and Light Company knowing, contacted Jonouchi again.

He thought about whether the other party would scold him, whether he would hang up directly, whether he would...

Unexpectedly, the other party didn't "hold a grudge" at all, and was even quite excited after hearing his voice, asking him where he had been all these years, and why he hadn't seen him. When he learned what he wanted to do, he didn't doubt at all whether he wanted to kidnap Muto Sugoroku, and chose to help without hesitation.

... Sigh.

He sighed in his heart.

"Kid, this is... an opportunity that was not easy to get." He looked at Tenjou Hikari, his eyes like a scanner, wishing he could engrave everything about Tenjou Hikari. "Old man Muto has many 【legendary】 addresses and contact methods. If you really want to challenge, this is the fastest way, and also... don't scare the old man."

Tenjou Hikari heard that Dinosaur Ryuzaki's emotional changes were very unnatural. He looked at the card in his hand, looked up at Dinosaur Ryuzaki again, took two deep breaths, and patted his chest.

"Don't worry, Brother Ryuzaki."
