Yu-Gi-Oh!: The mainstream has returned, and the locals are crying.

This is a hand trap that Earth-level duelists dream of. It is more versatile and even more rare than the Effect Cover. Heaven-level Dark Duelists all have one, or even two or three. If Yu Ye were to join, the Effect Cover alone could greatly enhance the overall strength of their Dark Duelists!

"Yes, the original card is on me." Youye nodded in reply, glancing expectantly at the man in black robes. Dark Duelists were now his gold coin monsters; how could two be enough to farm them? He needed to increase the bait, bring in more, and get more kills for the best results!

Just as You Ye had expected, the moment the bait was thrown down, the man in black robes wanted to go up and defeat You Ye himself, and then get the Ash Blossom card from You Ye.

Right now, we can only watch, not participate. The rules of the duel override everything in this world, and no one, no matter what, can directly interfere with the duel.

"Dark Insect, if you defeat him, the organization will help you reach the Earth Rank within six months!" The black-robed man looked at Gray Flowing Beauty, who was being held by You Ye, for a moment before making a promise to Dark Insect.

"Boy, you really are my lucky star and benefactor!" Hearing the black-robed man's words, Dark Insect's smile widened.

Why did he join the Dark Duelists? It's because he's been stuck at the Xuan level for almost fifty years and had no choice but to join in search of a breakthrough opportunity!

Until last night, after waiting for five years, he finally got his chance. The organization promised him that if he could beat Youye, they would help him break through within three years. Now the situation has changed, and it's already within six months.

In six months, I will become a high-ranking Earth-level duelist!

"Is it possible that I am your nemesis?" Seeing the Dark Insect thanking him, You Ye looked strange. He was about to be killed by him and eliminated by the rules, yet he still called himself a benefactor?

Could a hidden card give him such confidence? Did he not know that I told him about the monster I was summoning precisely because I judged that he couldn't stop it? It just goes to show that the minds of primitive people are unfathomable.

"Hahaha, you'll soon find out why I said that." Dark Insect laughed in a low voice when it saw that Youye hadn't yet activated the Divine Stele magic to disrupt his skill breakthrough.

Youye noticed the dark insect's gaze, and after looking at his card, his expression became increasingly strange. Was a trap about to stop him from setting up his operation?

If they launch a counterattack, that's fine, but a counterattack would only delay things for one or two rounds.

"Alright!" You Ye said no more and prepared to end the duel.

"I've set up Link Arrows for Munin and Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring on the field. Awaken from the Forbidden List! Link Summon LINL2 [Predatory Plant Blue-Hearted Boa] (Left Link Arrow Monster Zone)!"

As You Ye's voice fell, Ash Flowing Beauty beside him and Mu Ning on the field transformed into two arrows. With the appearance of a door, a huge green anaconda appeared on You Ye's field. The anaconda had a mouth full of sharp teeth and roared angrily at the Dark Insect, as if to say, "How dare you? Pull my chosen one into a duel in the dark?"

"Don't be angry, Anaconda. With your help, the duel will be over soon!" Yu Ye said, trying to calm Anaconda after sensing its anger.

Upon hearing Youye's words, the anaconda coiled its body together, staring intently at the dark insect, seemingly looking for an opportunity to attack.

The Dark Insect looked at the Serpent. Although it was not tall and did not look scary, he felt an indescribable pressure from it, which made him break out in a cold sweat.

The man in black robes also felt a sense of pressure. His eyes flashed with green light as he pondered what effect it had that would allow You Ye to summon the Tricolor Kang once per turn.

"The effect of Anaconda is: Pay 2000 LP to send 1 [Fusion] Normal/Quick-Play Spell Card from the Deck to the Graveyard to activate Anaconda's effect, making it the same as the effect of that Spell Card when it was activated. After this effect is activated, I enter a restriction that prevents me from Special Summoning monsters until the end of this turn!"

"I pay 2000 LP to send my deck's [Red-Eyes Fusion] to the Graveyard to activate this effect!"

"Red-Eyes Fusion?"

Dark Insect and the man in black robes were slightly taken aback, wondering what You Ye was up to. What powerful monster could the Red-Eyes fusion monster be, besides being bigger and taller? What did this have to do with the Three-Colored Yasushi?

For a moment, the Dark Insect wasn't even prepared to hand over the strange Xiao Kang and let the Serpent pass, when the man in black robes exclaimed, "Holy crap!!! It's him!!!"

Seeing the black-robed man's expression suddenly change, Dark Insect didn't know what had made such a strong Earth-level duelist react so strongly, but in that instant, he knew that he had to stop him!

"I activate a Set Trap Card, [Skill Break], targeting your Anaconda on your field using C2 Chain, negating the Anaconda's effects until the end of the turn!"

After saying that, his originally solemn expression immediately relaxed, and he smiled and said, "Hahaha, your biggest problem is that you told us you wanted to do Tricolor Kang. If you hadn't told us, you might have actually passed the test."

"Is it possible that I only said it because I felt you couldn't stop me?" You Ye's smile turned sinister.

"?" The Dark Insect and the man in black robes were puzzled. What did this mean? Did they know the Dark Insect had resistance, yet they still said so?

Xiaoye already has two outrageous effects, but Link2 shouldn't have a third outrageous effect. And the quick-attack magic of the Divine Monument doesn't have any nullifying spells or traps, so why do you say there's no way to stop it?

"It seems you haven't understood Xiaoye's effects!"

"Saya's effect is to banish one monster on my field, and then another monster on the field until the end of the turn, not one monster each on your field!" Seeing the two bewildered people, Dark Worm obviously had no way to stop them, so he naturally explained to them.

"It's so late!" Dark Insect's mind hadn't quite caught up yet. Just now, because of the natural beasts and Xiao Ye, who were not on the field, and because it wasn't him who was dueling, the black-robed man hadn't reacted. But now that You Ye had explained, he understood instantly.

Saya's second effect is less about benefiting the opponent and more about protecting her own monsters.

Because with cards like Skill Breakthrough that target monsters, once the monster loses its target, the effect is wasted!

"I'm using my C3 chain effect on Sayo, targeting her and the anaconda!"

As You Ye continued to chain the chain, An Chong looked at You Ye, his smile gone, replaced by deep fear.

He understood. Youye had been waiting for the monster, waiting for him to get it. Whether it was a natural beast or something else, it was all just like an ant struggling.

The Dark Insect did not continue its chain, and its effect was resolved as follows: c3 Saya's effect was successfully activated, and both Saya and Anaconda were banished until the end of the turn; c2 Skill Breakthrough's effect failed to activate due to losing its target; c1 Anaconda (Red-Eyes Fusion)'s effect sent Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Dark Magician from the deck to the Graveyard, and Fusion Summoned [Super Magical Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight]!

Red-Eyed Dragon Knight, here he comes!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 37. Are you impatient to recruit? Or are you impatient for us to explode our gold coins?

37.

A bolt of black lightning struck down, leaving countless sparks in the black mist, and then a figure slowly appeared.

He possessed enormous black bat wings, wielded a long sword almost as tall as himself, and was entirely covered in menacing black armor. Wherever he passed, the black mist actually pushed aside.

[Super Magical Dragon Knight-True Red-Eyed Dragon Knight]

[Mage Race/Fusion/Effect/Dark/Level 8]

ATK: 3000; DEF: 2500

"It really is that monster!" The black-robed man looked at him with green light in his eyes, his eyes filled with apprehension, and deep within that apprehension was fear.

Red-Eyes Dragon Knight is known as a powerful monster that can achieve Heaven-level status with a single card; such a simple and clear statement can demonstrate its power.

They were incredibly unlucky to be here and have You Ye summon him!

This wasn't what surprised him the most. What surprised him the most was that Youye could summon any two monsters at will, and they didn't even have to resist the ridiculous self-control of the True Red-Eyes fusion. This was something he had never heard of or seen before.

This means that as long as Yuya hasn't mastered the True Red Eye Fusion, he can attack him with his eyes closed. What kind of devilish joke is this?!

"Why? Why can you obtain him? Why can you summon him?" Upon seeing the appearance of the Red-Eyes Dragon Knight, Dark Worm, having never seen a pig run before, had at least eaten pork. He recognized the monster in front of him and immediately cried out in surprise, asking three questions.

"Because I'm very strong!" Yu Ye simply uttered five words, then issued a command to the Red-Eyes Dragon Knight.

You Ye's words stunned the Dark Insect, leaving it completely blank. The man in black robes also remained silent, the green light in his eyes dimming and then flickering slightly, lost in thought.

There was nothing they could do; You Ye was simply too strong, leaving them speechless in the face of his superior strength!

Do they mean You Ye is weak? Where is he weak? Saying that a duelist at least at the Grandmaster level is weak is just plain crazy!

Why challenge Dark Insect and Night Wanderer to a duel? Is it because they don't have any Earth-level duelists in Hangzhou? No!

According to calculations by various experts, Dark Insects had the best chance of winning. Others, even master-level duelists at the Earth level, would only fare worse. That's why Dark Insects were dispatched.

Seeing that the two remained silent, You Ye, though weak, could understand, but he expressed his regret that the victor of the duel could only be him.

"Red-Eyes Dragon Knight's first effect activates. Since I use two Normal Monsters as Fusion Material, during my Main Phase, twice per turn, I can destroy monsters on your field without targeting, and inflict damage equal to your monster's ATK. I can also destroy Nature Beast on your field!"

The moment Yuya finished speaking, the Red-Eyes Dragon Knight unleashed a black lightning slash, which cleaved the Nature Beast in two and sent it to the graveyard.

As the natural beasts were destroyed, the Dark Insect suffered knife wounds, and crimson blood slowly flowed and dripped from its body.

Dark Bug LP: 8000 → 5800!

Dark Insect watched as the natural beasts were destroyed, and then looked at himself, covered in wounds. He was very puzzled as to why You Ye was unharmed and why You Ye was so strong.

After a long while, he looked at his cards, fell silent, and was completely plunged into despair. He understood that he had lost and there was no chance of turning the tide.

Red-Eyes Dragon Knight is not as simple as just having three colors of resistance. It also has strong resistances to being targeted and destroyed by effects. Even if you draw a Destruction Wheel, Mirror Force, or Black Hole, it won't help you deal with it.

Yes, he can't even deal with the monster in front of him with his entire deck. Win? How can he win?

Next, Yuya skipped the battle phase and entered the end phase. This was when Koya returned to the field. It was his turn, and he drew Kuriboh. He then used Kuriboh's Normal Summon to end his turn with a Defender's Strike. Yuya understood this and directly used Red-Eyes Dragon Knight to finish him off.

After Dark Worm's life points reached zero, the surrounding black mist disappeared, and then a card box appeared in front of Youye. This box contained Dark Worm's original cards with the Natural Field and his personal assets.

Yu Ye happily accepted it. With the natural field now available, plus the extra Coral Dragon and Star Charge Warrior obtained from the duel, the Divine Stele could now be used as a natural Divine Stele, no longer just a simple sticker stele.

Of course, it's not that the sticker monument is weak; it's just that there are other options, and the tactics are more diverse. Once others are familiar with the sticker monument, it's easy to counter it. Plus, he only has one chapter, Izumi. If Izumi is excluded, it all depends on Saya, Red Daddy, and Flower to hold the line. Although he can win now, he is very clear-headed. It's because the divine monuments are mainstream and superior. Even if the monuments are countered later, he can still win, but there's no need to win if there's a risk involved.

After accepting the card, he came to his senses and found that the elf blocking Munin had disappeared, leaving only the black-robed man standing quietly in the corner.

"As expected of someone at least a Grandmaster, no, at least a King, the organization sent Dark Insect and me to challenge you. The organization really underestimated you." Seeing You Ye looking over, the man in black robes slowly spoke, no longer addressing him as an equal, but as a senior.

"Not continuing?" Yu Ye understood that he wasn't going to duel him anymore, and was immediately disappointed. He had used Ash Blossom Beauty to wait for the Dark Duelist to continue showering him with coins, but it just stopped like that.

"Senior is too kind. We were ignorant before. We all know your strength, so we would never dare to challenge you." Seeing You Ye's expression, the black-robed man's face darkened beneath his robe. Everyone was terrified of them, the Dark Duelists, but this guy really treated them like prey.

After saying that, he slowly took out a palm-sized tablet and a gold card, and said, "This card is your spoils of war. You can choose any five original cards from the card list as our apology."

After he finished speaking, only his black robe concealed his expression; otherwise, one could see the twisted and heartbroken look on his face. The card was his personal property, originally intended to be given to him by himself after Dark Insect defeated Night Wanderer, so that Night Wanderer would prioritize helping him modify his deck and at the same time build a good relationship with him.

As a result, the Dark Bug was wiped out, and he lost his card as well, suffering a double loss.

He's now wondering if he'd be more profitable to just approach Yu Ye directly? At least one card could modify his deck, right?

"Hmm, sensible!" You Ye accepted the card and card list without any hesitation. He did not initiate a dark duel. First, he did not know how to initiate one. Second, when people enter society, they need to understand human relationships, not fighting and killing.

Most importantly, he hadn't been hurt at all, and he didn't think the black-robed man would give him much gold. He figured he might as well use him to squeeze the dark duelists behind him.

But if any more ungrateful Dark Duelists come knocking on his door, he wouldn't mind taking their accumulated assets, just like the Dark Worms, and starting a zero-dollar purchase.

He flipped the card over and saw that it was an Xyz Monster, "Number 60: Dugares of the Unknown." His smile widened, and he had another Extra Deck card in Wheelchair Tears. All that was missing was his Main Deck and some powerful Extra Deck cards.

As for the card list given, it was just average. In the end, Yuya took five cards: [Rainbow Lizard], [Magic Shell Gacha], [Clown and Lock Bird], [Ice Barrier Zero Dragon - Trident Dragon], and [Ice Barrier Dragon Trident Dragon]. Except for the last two, which could be used immediately, the first three could only be said to have potential in the future.

"The card you requested will be delivered to your shop within a day. I apologize again for disturbing you today." The man in black robes glanced at the card You Ye had given him and bowed in apology.
