Chapter 376: Where is the Limit?

A victory was decided, a soul was harvested. This was the rule of The Seal of Orichalcos, an absolute law that even as a high-level member of the organization, he was powerless to change.

At least from this perspective, New Xin Xin Duoma was actually a righteous villain, compared to some villains in later generations who would get cocky after winning and pretend nothing happened after losing, they were simply moral models.

At the last moment, Luca knelt on the ground, his consciousness gradually blurring, his eyes gradually becoming hollow, but he still seemed a bit unable to accept this reality.

Losing the duel was just one aspect—his confidence that he was invincible in the world, his ambitions, were all shattered in this duel by the student in front of him.

On the other hand, he was a bit unable to accept losing to this kind of opponent in this way.

If he had a choice now, he would definitely choose to collide head-on with Kaiba's White Dragon without hesitation...

No, why can someone play Chaos Soldier into autism?

He even couldn't help but suspect that if the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, known as the incarnation of power in the dueling world and the representative of the righteous forces, fell into this person's hands, would it also be corrupted?

Intuition made Luca feel that such a thing might not necessarily happen in the future. But it was a pity that he no longer had the chance to see it.

Chaos Soldier, who had already turned into a blurred state, floated aside, his expression complex when looking at Fujiki You Xuan.

Reasonably speaking, being developed with new postures should be something to be happy about; even the Great Envoy himself didn't expect his skills could be used like this.

But he suddenly had a strange premonition.

After hanging out with this master for a long time, in the future, would he, the dignified Great Envoy, also be viewed as a representative of autism in the dueling world and spirit world...

Until his soul was extracted, Luca still glared straight at Fujiki You Xuan, his eyes full of bloodshot veins.

For some reason, seeing such eyes in a dying person, Fujiki You Xuan inexplicably read a resentment of "I won't let you go even as a ghost."

But it didn't matter anymore.

After all, this was the world of Yu-Gi-Oh, so what if you become a fierce ghost? If you want to claim a life, don't you still have to play cards?

You couldn't beat him when you were alive, could your card skills improve by leaps and bounds after you died?

"Don't get... too happy too early."

Luca said in a deep voice.

"The last musketeer, and that lord... are all ready. The finals of Battle City will turn into a Shura field, you... have no chance."

After barely finishing his last words intermittently, the green light finally disappeared, his soul was finally extracted, and he knelt on the ground and lost movement.

"Hung up, huh."

Fujiki You Xuan walked up and bent down to pull out his Deck.

Worm Deck GET.

He put away the Deck and took one last look at Luca, who had already collapsed on the ground.

"Feels like I've become stronger again..." He looked down at his hands.

Especially compared to when he first met the Xin Xin Duoma musketeer Xie Er, this time he clearly felt more at ease. The first semester at the Duel Academy really wasn't spent in vain.

Just didn't know how much he had improved specifically.

But just in time. In these two days, the Battle City tournament should be restarting, and the list for the top eight knockout tournament should be determined soon.

The top eight of Battle City should have some gold content, logically speaking, there shouldn't be any easy lamps among those who could squeeze into this final stage.

Especially since this person just said that the remaining Xin Xin Duoma musketeers, and that "Adjudicator" who called himself a slippery snake, seemed to be participating. Not to mention Kaiba himself.

In this way, through this tournament, he should be able to touch his limit, right?

Fujiki You Xuan raised his arm and looked at the Deck on his Duel Disk.

"How strong am I now?"

Since when, his mindset had been different from the caution everywhere when he first crossed over. At that time, he needed to be twelve points vigilant for every duel, and needed to be fully prepared for every opponent.

Now, although he would also understand the opponent and be fully prepared in advance, it was just out of good habits and increasing the winning percentage, but he rarely had the psychology of "what if I'm not fully prepared, maybe I'll lose" in the past.

Because honestly, even he himself was becoming more and more unable to fathom himself.

A duelist can only feel the strength of their "momentum" when facing a powerful opponent and in the confrontation with the other party. But after Fujiki You Xuan had fought so many opponents, the result of the trial was just one, completely unknown.

So when someone asked with emotion, what his full strength was like and where his limit was, he could only answer helplessly—

—I really want to know too.

It's just that the opponents have never been very powerful, and most of them lay down without much effort...

"Battle City GX, huh."

He left the power station, got on the motorcycle already prepared at the evacuation point, and muttered.

Hope this time will be different.

Before dawn, he returned to the station.

But this time he didn't go in again, just met Mai Kujaku at the entrance and handed her a card.

Mai Kujaku turned the card over and looked at it, her hand almost shaking and throwing it out.

It was the soul seal card of Orichalcos, and the one on the card was Yan Xiong, who was bound by chains and seemed to be climbing on the edge of the cage.

Mai Kujaku was shocked: "You finished him off!?"

"Uh, do I look like a minion of Orichalcos?" Fujiki You Xuan said helplessly.

Mai Kujaku frowned and examined him.

This sunny temperament, combined with the card-playing tactics she had seen before that had nothing to do with the righteous side, especially reminded her of the sunny boy Ma Like who had once become her psychological shadow.

She hadn't thought in that direction before, but now that he asked...

It really felt a bit like it.

"..."

"... So that's it, Yan Xiong, he was..."

Mai Kujaku was helpless.

"It's a pity. Although I haven't known him for two days, he really looks like he should be a good person..." She looked at the sealed card in her hand again, "However, it shouldn't be unsalvageable."

"Maybe." Fujiki You Xuan said.

He naturally understood what Mai Kujaku was referring to. She should be quite familiar with the methods of Orichalcos, after all, she was once a personal participant.

Mai Kujaku once joined Xin Xin Duoma for the sake of power and didn't hesitate to blacken herself. She also once had her soul extracted and was sealed in a similar state.

However, in the end, as the God of Orichalcos was defeated by the three Egyptian Gods, she and other sealed souls were released and restored to their original state.

The souls sealed by The Seal of Orichalcos didn't actually disappear immediately, but were equivalent to entering the snake god's granary. If you were unlucky, you might be picked as dinner by the snake god and swallowed first, but if you were lucky and survived long enough in the granary, you would naturally see the light of day when the snake god hung up.

"However, the plan was successful."

Mai Kujaku said.

"The power station has been restarted, the control system has been restored, and the train will leave within ten minutes. Shall we go together?"

"I won't, you guys go."

Fujiki You Xuan shook his head and smiled.

"I've already found out what I wanted to check here, so I'll take my leave first."

"That's true, you look like a duelist with incredible power, this kind of situation wouldn't trap you at all..."

"What about Mai? What are you going to do after you go out?"

"Continue to look for that unlucky guy who has no news." Mai Kujaku pouted.

"Jonouchi, huh."

Fujiki You Xuan now knew that the mastermind behind the anomaly in this place was the Little Lobster. If Jonouchi went missing from here, he didn't know if his current whereabouts were related to the Little Lobster.

"Alright, then if there is any progress, or if there is any need for help, you can contact me." Fujiki You Xuan said, "He still has many friends who are also concerned about his situation."

"Many friends, huh... It really fits that guy's characteristics."

Mai Kujaku closed her eyes and smiled lightly.

"I know."
