Chapter 1135: Who is the best fighter in New Tongshiye?

New Tongshiye City.

The small hill shrouded in night was suddenly torn apart. A pitch-black vortex twisted into shape in mid-air, like asphalt stirred by an invisible hand, with dark purple electric sparks splashing from its edges. The withered grass swayed wildly in the sudden airflow, and the ground trembled, cracking into spiderweb-like fissures. When the vortex expanded to its limit, a burning figure fell from it; the moment the soles of his boots touched the ground, gravel from the entire hill surged half a meter into the air.

When the red-haired man straightened his burly torso, sparks that had not yet extinguished remained on the tips of his hair. His afro hairstyle was like a mass of raging flames, standing unmoving and flamboyant in the night wind. The Duel Disk on his arm was crafted into a solidified, wave-like flame contour; from a distance, it looked as if he were wearing a mass of fire on his hand.

His name is Go-sh (Left Arm), from the Xyz Dimension, one of the top duelists in Heartland.

The man strode toward the edge of the cliff. Looking down, the entire city named New Tongshiye before him was like a galaxy inverted inside a glass dome; neon blood vessels spread along the streets, a golden torrent composed of car headlights surged between the canyons of high-rise buildings, and the evening breeze carried the distant sound of sirens.

"Is this the place? So this is the so-called Fusion Dimension?"

Go-sh patted the Duel Disk on his hand and gave a soft, cold snort.

"Sorry, Mr. Heartland, but I can't keep waiting and waiting like this. Wait for me, Droit (Right Arm), I'm coming to save you right now."

Go-sh clenched his fists, the confidence in his eyes almost turning into tangible flames burning.

"If anyone dares to stop me, I'll burn them all to ashes with my Duel Fire! Just wait, Fusion Dimension, I'm coming!"

However, only half an hour later, on the streets of New Tongshiye.

"One bowl of Hell-Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen, coming right up!"

The shop owner smiled as he served a bowl of ramen to the table. Go-sh's eyes lit up when he took the ramen, and his stomach let out a rumbling sound that was quite uncooperative.

He picked up his chopsticks and began to wolf it down.

Well, although he was deep in enemy territory, there was no helping it when he was hungry; he wouldn't have the strength to play cards if he wasn't full. After all, playing cards was physical labor, especially in their Xyz Dimension, where one often had to perform triple-backflips in mid-air during a duel, and it was easy to take eight or ten tumbles when attacked; it was hard to play cards without a body of copper and iron and superhuman endurance.

"Mmm, mmm, mmm, delicious!" Go-sh praised endlessly.

"Hahaha, that's a must." The ramen shop owner was very proud. "But you're really something, young man, to be able to handle our shop's Hell-Spicy; not many people can withstand this level of spiciness.

You're from out of town, right?"

"You could say that." Go-sh ate happily. "Life should be like fire; noodles have to be as spicy as fire to have flavor, and duels have to be even more scorching like fire to be interesting!"

Go-sh was immersed in the topic of ramen and dueling, looking as if he had already forgotten that he came here to save his teammate.

"Oh, so you're a duelist, young man; that sounds very impressive."

The owner smiled and nodded.

"However, hot-blooded duelists like you are becoming fewer and fewer in New Tongshiye these days."

"Hm? How so?" Go-sh felt strange.

"Because, the atmosphere has changed. Ever since 'that lord' took power..." The ramen shop owner shook his head. "In short, passionate dueling has become a thing of the past."

Go-sh: "Ah? Then what's the point of dueling?"

In his view, a duel without mutual high-speed attacks and passionate clashing was meaningless. To use his catchphrase, it was "too poor in spirit."

"Not at all." The owner revealed a happy smile instead. "When I was young, I didn't understand; I spent all day trying to summon powerful monsters that couldn't be summoned at all to fight others, thinking that was hot-blooded, but I was often beaten until my head was broken and bleeding, and I often lost before I could summon my trump card.

"But ever since I witnessed the duel of 'that lord,' I suddenly became enlightened and discovered that the joy of dueling is actually so simple. The joy in this world is conserved; as long as the opponent is unhappy, you will generally be very happy."

"What kind of nonsense is that?" Go-sh was confused. "What kind of crooked path is this?"

"Crooked path? Maybe in the past." The ramen shop owner said with a chuckle. "But how does that saying go? The victor writes history. If you become the strongest, then the path you walked naturally becomes the righteous path."

"That actually makes some sense." Go-sh nodded. "Then let's duel, boss! I want to use my duel to prove that my path is the correct one!" He raised his Duel Disk, but the ramen shop owner had no intention of accepting the challenge, only shaking his head and saying: "What's the use of beating me? You have to beat the strongest to prove it."

"That also makes sense." Go-sh thought for a moment. "Then who is the best fighter here?"

"Of course it's the Duel King Fujiki You Xuan; could it be me?"

"Duel King Fujiki You Xuan, that name sounds familiar..."

Go-sh slapped his forehead.

That's right, I'm here to save Droit, damn it.

So he finished the remaining noodles in a few gulps, slapped a Heartland banknote on the table with a flourish, and turned to head out.

"Keep the change, boss!"

However, watching his retreating figure as he left, the ramen shop owner held the Heartland banknote with a somewhat bewildered expression.

Which country's currency is this? Can it be used?

I hope this kid isn't trying to fool me with fake money...

At this time, Fujiki You Xuan had once again arrived at the Kaiba Corporation's dedicated prison, where Emperor Taiyi was being held.

As soon as Emperor Taiyi saw his face, he was in a bad mood: "Why are you here again? I've already told you everything I know; even if you can't find the path, I can't help anymore..."

"No, you've misunderstood; we've already found the path, and your help was very useful." Fujiki You Xuan laughed.

Emperor Taiyi was suspicious: "Then why are you still here? Let me say this first, I don't know anything else..."

"Of course, I believe you." Fujiki You Xuan smiled. "But I'll still ask. You came to this dimension at the behest of those Barians, right?"

Emperor Taiyi gave a hum, indicating his silent agreement.

"So from beginning to end, you just wanted to complete the transaction, obtain the power of the Barians, and then take revenge on Faker?" Fujiki You Xuan asked.

"And what if I did?" Emperor Taiyi retorted.

"But it's a pity, since you've been captured by me, your grand plan for revenge is probably down the drain." Fujiki You Xuan shook his head in regret.

Emperor Taiyi wore a sour face: "What do you want?"

So you're here to mock me to my face, right?

"Don't misunderstand, I mean, your revenge might still have a chance." Fujiki You Xuan smiled and asked mysteriously, "What do you think of me?"

"Huh?"

Emperor Taiyi looked at him with a bizarre expression.

What do I think of you? Don't you have any self-awareness in your heart? How are you shameless enough to ask that?

Let me think: insidious, despicable, shameless, unscrupulous, and you don't even want your face just to win...

"No, what I mean is," Fujiki You Xuan quickly added, "you were willing to sell everything to the Barians just to exchange for the power of revenge.

Then what do you think of me compared to the Barians?"

"Or more accurately, do you believe that I have the ability to give you the power for revenge?"
