8. The Duel City Tournament begins! Seto Kaiba and Yuuka!

The moment the Fusion Monster card, depicting a powerful, crimson-purple mechanical dragon, appeared in Yu Feng's palm, the boy was very satisfied and immediately added it to his deck.

"Although Machine-type monsters have many powerful cards, none are as satisfying as this [Chimera Fortress Dragon] which can directly knock out the opponent's monsters on the field."

"And because of the image of this card, the interlocking circular 'fortress' looks like a bunch of round tires - so this card is also called [Tire Dragon], and the way it forcibly melts the opponent's card is also called - rolling tires."

Accompanied by Youfeng's excited voice, his eyes also shone with a faint sense of nostalgia and excitement.

Satisfied, Youfeng left the alley where the card shop was located and immediately returned to his residence to rest.

...

A few days later, in the center of Tongye City.

Wearing a classic blue-purple outfit and sporting a starfish-shaped hairstyle inspired by Millennium Puzzle vectors, Yugi Muto also seems to be eagerly awaiting the gathering of his companions.

"game!"

Soon, a tall, blonde woman in a purple suit walked quickly toward Yugi Muto in her boots.

"Is it finally starting?!"

But the next second, after not seeing the market and games together, the curvaceous blonde woman seemed to instantly become somewhat displeased:

"Um, didn't Jonouchi come?"

Faced with the woman's question, Muto looked around hesitantly, as if searching for something, and said:

"They've arrived, they should be nearby—after all, we recently met a new companion, and Jonouchi seems to be waiting nearby in case he gets lost..."

As Yugi Muto explained, Mai Kujaku nodded slowly: "I see... a new companion..."

But just as their gazes swept over the nearly overflowing crowd of duelists who had come with the same goal in the competition...

suddenly!

A dark shadow, almost obscuring the sky, completely covered the two people's bodies, and almost at the same moment, a series of huge roars resounded all around.

"???"

"What's that sound?! Is it an earthquake?!"

"No, it sounds more like the sound of an engine running..."

"..."

Amidst the nearly uproar of surprise from the crowd, Yugi Muto and Mai Kujaku, my professional female duelist, raised their heads and looked at the sky with some bewilderment.

Soon, an airship resembling the Kirov appeared, flying overhead in an extremely exaggerated and stylish manner. On the silver-white airship, in addition to the special "KC" logo representing the Haima Group, the words "DUEL-DISK" were also engraved.

"Is that... Kaiba?" Upon seeing this familiar, exaggerated style, Yugi Muto couldn't help but remark with a slight sarcasm, "Such a flashy entrance, it really suits his personality..."

...

Meanwhile, at the same time, everyone's attention was focused on the airship of Seto Kaiba, a young master with a gambling addiction who was willing to invest heavily in cards.

On the giant screen aboard the airship, after a violent flicker, an image of the cabin appeared—Seto Kaiba, a brown-haired boy wearing a white trench coat, was sitting upright with an imposing posture.

But the next second, Yugi Muto was surprised to find that next to his familiar Seto Kaiba, there was an equally handsome boy standing there for some reason—most importantly, this boy was none other than Yuuki, whom he had just met a few days ago and who had helped Jonouchi retrieve the [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] from the card hunters of the Gurus Group!

"Wandering...wind?"

Just as Yugi Muto blurted out his surprise, Katsuya Jonouchi, the "blonde-haired boy" who had just walked out from the crowd, also shook his head in disappointment.

"No, the game... I didn't see Yufeng anywhere... Could he have overslept?"

Just as Katsuya Jonouchi was complaining about Yuuki's unreliability, he inadvertently looked up following everyone's gaze:

"What are you looking at... damn it?!"

"Yufeng is actually with Kaiba?!"

Shocked, Katsuya Jonouchi gently stroked his chin with his fingers, seemingly entering a "master detective" deductive mode:

"As expected... I knew Yu Feng's rare and valuable cards must have some strange background..."

"Going to the card shop to open cards every day might just be some kind of cover-up..."

...

Soon, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Seto Kaiba, inside the airship, delivered his opening address about the special "map" item and the "Duel City" tournament in a gruff voice and with the air of a domineering CEO.

The competition format and rules were also reiterated in detail:

"The competition area is the entire city of Tongye. Duels can be held anywhere in the city and the result will be considered official. The loser must also hand over a rare and valuable card to their opponent..."

"After this chaotic battle, the remaining 8 people will become the final contestants. After stacking the chip cards in their hands, the final venue for the final will be randomly selected."

"And the specific rules for card use during the duel, after taking into account the decision made by the duelist Yuuki, were officially named the 'Kaiba OCG Rules'!"

"..."

As Seto Kaiba's voice boomed, Yugi Muto and Jonouchi exchanged a shocked glance:

"It seems we underestimated this boy. It turns out he played a part in establishing the rules Kaiba set up earlier. That's quite surprising..."

"To be a duelist like Yuuka in a tournament?! I'm completely excited!"

"..."

Soon, amidst the two's excited and enthusiastic voices, Kong Que Wu, quite unexpectedly, looked up at the screen and saw the handsome young man in a denim jacket, exclaiming in surprise:

"So these are the companions you were talking about? They seem quite powerful..."

...

Then, on the airship...

Before Seto Kaiba could finish explaining the details, Yuuka immediately opened the airship's hatch and jumped out.

After tracing a beautiful white arc in the air, it landed safely.

Seto Kaiba: "??? Wait, he took my Haku-customized hang glider?!"

9. Superpowers? I'll play my cards right now! Battle against the super-powered [Android Soga]

"Oh~"

Soon, amidst gasps of surprise from the crowd, Youfeng landed gracefully, clearly very satisfied with the "skydiving" service.

"As expected of official Blue-Eyes White Dragon merchandise made by the Haima Group, this is so cool..."

"Next time, I must go ahead and try to get the president's [Jet Dragon] plane for free."

"..."

At this very moment, Seto Kaiba, who was on the airship and originally wanted to make a grand entrance in his own special vehicle upon entering the final stage, suddenly turned pale.

But the next second... after hearing Yufeng's eerie voice through the conveyor belt of the glider's microphone device, Kaiba clenched his fist even more tightly:

"Keep an eye on my airport..."

Although Seto Kaiba deeply respected the strength displayed by this mysterious duelist when proposing the rules, at this moment, as a fellow participant in this competition, the inherently proud and competitive Seto Kaiba, through the camera system in this Duel City transformed from Dono City, watched Yuuki warmly greeting Yugi Muto and Katsuya Jonouchi, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes:

"The game...and him...Fan Gu...Do these people actually know each other?"

He gave a slightly profound order to the staff at the center console:

"A comprehensive broadcast from the perspectives of this young man—Yuuka—and Yugi Muto..."

...

Soon after, in Dono City, as Seto Kaiba officially announced the start of the "Duel City" tournament, the duelists gathered there began their battles.

Jonouchi and Yugi Muto were also excited by the intense atmosphere created by the duel.

"Alright, Yuuka, let's each find an opponent and start our battles..."

Accompanied by Yugi Muto's voice, "Blonde" Katsuya Jonouchi excitedly raised his fist:

"That's right, Youfeng, let's fight individually before we enter the finals! Then we'll have a fair and square duel!"

Seeing the extremely confident expression on Jonouchi Katsuya's face, which seemed to have regained the [Red-Eyes Black Dragon], Yuuka nodded, bid farewell to the two for the time being, and looked at the various streets of Dono City with a somewhat nostalgic and interested gaze.

Soon, amidst a loud commotion, Yuuki discovered that at a nearby intersection, Yugi Muto and Jonouchi hadn't gone far when they encountered the men in black from the Gurus Group, who had come specifically to cause trouble after being humiliated.

Moreover, one of the men in black seemed to have a faint, gloomy purple aura surrounding his eyes, which made Youfeng instantly recognize him as the mastermind behind the Gurus Group—Malik.

Just then, facing his opponent's pursuit, Yugi Muto quickly stepped into the arena and engaged in a duel himself.

...

But soon, just as Youfeng wanted to get closer to get a better look at the Pharaoh King, Wang Yang, a green-haired boy with a pink collar and a fierce expression reached out and tore Youfeng to pieces.

"Are you the next opponent? Interfering with my superpowers!"

As the other person raised his head high, his gaze filled with hostility, the surrounding crowd immediately seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, their faces showing signs of "surviving a disaster," and some were even grateful to the handsome young man who had suddenly appeared.

"Phew... thank goodness I wasn't chosen, that boy was terrifying..."

At this moment, some duelists in the crowd frowned and kindly reminded You Feng:

"Hey, you over there, don't accept his challenge! That scary guy has superpowers!"

"He can read your hand..."
