Chapter 317

"This guy Fujiki You Xuan, it's really hard to get used to him no matter how much time passes."

Mokuba watched Fujiki You Xuan's first duel through the monitor and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

And even as the opposing faction, he suddenly felt that the guy on the other side was truly miserable. Not only did he receive the treatment of deck destruction and hand destruction in a duel lasting only a few turns, but he also ended up hitting an infinite slap LOOP...

But in the end, that guy seemed to have fallen under the effect of his own Seal of Orichalcos.

The duel ended, LP hit zero, and the Seal of Orichalcos quickly rotated and closed, the green pillar of light converging on him.

Ye Ying's eyes were hollow, and he staggered back two steps, about to collapse, but before he could fall, he was caught by Fujiki You Xuan, who had quickly stepped forward.

Ye Ying was stunned for a moment.

He looked up in surprise, looking at Fujiki You Xuan with some unexpectedness; he didn't seem to expect that this person, who had played such a soul-crushing game, would actually step forward to catch him after it was over.

What does this mean? Offering comfort?

However, in a life-or-death duel, winning means life and losing means death; what value is there in the victor's pity for the loser?

Yet, within a second, he realized he had thought too much.

After Fujiki You Xuan stepped forward to catch him, without a word, he swiped and pulled the Duel Disk and deck right off his arm, then immediately let go.

Losing support, Ye Ying immediately tilted and collapsed to the ground with a thud, looking like a piece of dirty rag thrown away after being used.

Ye Ying: "You @%#%&!"

The bastard wasn't satisfied with just crushing his soul; he didn't even spare his cards!

He actually had a thousand words he wanted to curse with, and even had the urge to ignore everything and grab the other person to duel, but there was no chance left.

The power of the barrier converged, and his soul was forcibly extracted from his body, as if being pulled by an invisible gravitational force along the green light, rising into the sky. He could only watch helplessly as his body collapsed to the ground like a puppet that had lost its vitality, watching that demon take his deck and walk away gracefully.

His soul disappeared into the vortex of the barrier. In the last moment before losing consciousness, he felt as if his chest had been struck by a heavy hammer, with an urge to vomit blood...

"Tsk tsk, the quality of the new Xin Xin Duoma members is worrying. They don't even give out many rare cards..."

Fujiki You Xuan flipped through the deck as he walked, but could only shake his head repeatedly.

"This might be useful... forget it, it doesn't seem useful either. Might as well sell it..."

Mokuba in front of the monitor: "..."

He suddenly thought that falling quickly after a duel might be a kind of luck for this person. If he had seen Fujiki You Xuan pulling his deck and being picky before he died, he wondered if he would have suddenly had a burst of potential and been angered back to life...

He knew that the duel on Fujiki You Xuan's side would definitely be the most interesting; sure enough, he hadn't switched the perspective wrong.

Mokuba retracted his gaze with satisfaction and began to switch monitoring perspectives to find his brother Kaiba.

Now Fujiki You Xuan's Puzzle Card +1, advancement progress 2/6. Don't know if brother got his first card yet...

Fujiki You Xuan had already realized that this duel might not be that simple.

Originally, he thought the difficulty of the competition might mainly be after advancing. Seto Kaiba was undoubtedly the biggest challenge in this trip, and Fujiki You Xuan didn't really have any thoughts about having to win the championship before entering.

For him, the duel with Kaiba was just part of a phased trial. All the phased challenges and levels he had set for himself so far had been successfully passed, and he hadn't encountered anything particularly difficult yet.

The duel with Seto Kaiba might bring a new breakthrough.

But now, it seems there are other things to do before entering the finals.

The fact that he obtained the "Sealed Artifact" has clearly been noticed by the new Xin Xin Duoma. The new Xin Xin Duoma members stationed locally have already mixed into this Duel City competition, and what just happened should just be the beginning.

That guy named Ye Ying was undoubtedly just a vanguard. There must be others who secretly observed this duel and took this opportunity to evaluate Fujiki You Xuan's dueling; maybe they are already collecting information to formulate the next round of attacks.

Of course, for Fujiki You Xuan, the problem isn't that big. After all, he never uses a fixed routine or a fixed deck; if others study him, he can just change to a different one for the next match.

But the truly critical issue is the fact that he has been targeted.

It is foreseeable that the other side will definitely take the opportunity of this tournament to launch another attack. They will attack again and again, trying every trick in the book, and constantly studying him...

That would be terrible!?

You have to know that it is a branch of the world's largest terrorist organization of dark duelists, and these dangerous guys actually targeted Fujiki You Xuan, an ordinary Duel Academy student...

And he's even an ordinary Slifer Red student, not an Obelisk Blue elite.

So sinister, it's too terrifying.

Fujiki You Xuan subconsciously squeezed the deck he had just pulled, which was still warm, realizing that things couldn't go on like this.

Betting one card per duel with other duelists is just too slow...

Pfft, no, that's not it.

It's too dangerous to let such dangerous people run wild outside.

The enemy is in the dark and I am in the light; it is foreseeable that the other side will keep attacking, and might even use all kinds of dirty tricks. Waiting passively here for the other side to make a move is by no means a wise choice.

Must find a way to take the initiative.

Fujiki You Xuan walked out of the alley, the pitch-black fog dissipating behind him. The corners of his mouth turned up, and he chuckled.

Hunting time has arrived.

"... Ye Ying failed."

Still in that dark environment. The green light lit up like ghost fire, and the black-robed leader said silently in the darkness.

He swept his gaze over the remaining four people in the room.

"Does anyone want to say something?"

Everyone: "..."

They had all glimpsed the process of the duel just now through the power of the Orichalcos. Since watching it, the room had maintained an eerie silence until now.

What should they say?

Dark Scorpion Thieves. They also know this deck; it belongs to the civilian decks you can buy in almost any store.

And unlike the Ojamas, which, although set as trash in the anime, often had highlights, in the anime, except for the episode where those spirits appeared, the Dark Scorpion spirits were benched after entering Manzaimu's deck and never appeared again until the end.

So obviously, even Manzaimu, who started to realize that "trash has its uses" in the later stages, didn't seem to like them much...

Yet, using this kind of thing, Fujiki You Xuan started with a deck destruction that suppressed Ye Ying, and finally gave him an infinite LOOP as a counterattack.

Infinite LOOPs are very rare in this world, but they haven't completely never appeared. For example, in the first Duel City tournament, when the King of Games Yugi Mutou first faced the Phantom God and defeated "Slifer the Sky Dragon," he used an infinite LOOP.

Although the early duel rules were different from now, that legendary battle is still talked about by duelists to this day.

The infinite LOOPs that have appeared in recorded public competitions are all combinations that duelists racked their brains and tried their best to pull off, many of which were even moments of explosive power when fate-force erupted to turn the tide; most are brilliant moments recorded in the history of dueling.

However, the feeling of this person pulling off an infinite LOOP felt like a basic attack...

There was a feeling of being light and airy, not exerting any effort at all.

"Hmm, so, who else intends to step forward for a battle?"

The leader looked around.

Everyone: "..."
