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

"Bai Yun'er's father? No problem." You Ye nodded. The Bai family had helped him get two cards from the Zeng family and even gave him two extra cards. It wasn't a huge favor, but it showed them respect.

"Greetings, senior. I am Sun Ce, the head of the Sun family. After learning that you were participating in the city duel, I came immediately to watch your duel in the hope of getting to know you and receiving your guidance." After You Ye agreed to Bai Lingtian's request, a thin man named Sun Ce immediately came over and greeted him respectfully. He looked to be at least thirty years old, but he not only had none of the airs of a family head in Hangzhou, but also addressed himself as a junior.

"Okay." You Ye's lips twitched slightly. It could only be said that there were idiots in the Zeng family and smart people in other families, but this flattery was a bit too outrageous.

"My Mo family, like the Sun family, hopes to receive guidance from our seniors." After remaining silent, the bespectacled middle-aged man, Mo Wang, revealed a kind expression and agreed.

"Since you've all come to me like this, then prepare a lot more cards. Besides the main cards from your families, if your card pool has enough cards that I need, I don't mind helping your potential successors or new generation successors modify their decks." You Ye said to Sun Ce and Mo Wang. There was no reason to refuse someone offering to give cards.

“Then on behalf of the younger generation of the clan, we thank you, senior. From now on, if you want to deal with the Zeng family, just say the word, and we will never refuse.” As You Ye said this, the joy on the two people’s faces increased even more.

There are six prominent families in Hangzhou with Heavenly-level ancestors. Leaving aside the Zeng family who caused trouble and the Bai family who came to check on the situation, why did only two of the other four families come?

The reason is simple: members of the Sun and Mo families have new skills, similar to Bai Yun'er's Xiangjian, which have been unable to be developed.

The real purpose of their trip was to befriend You Ye and get his help in modifying the family's structure. Now that You Ye had agreed, how could the two not be happy? After all, they were very interested in Bai Yun'er's stable Heavenly Might Sword structure.

If our descendants can develop a similar structure to the Heavenly Might Sword, even if it's just a little less powerful, it means that the family will have a Heavenly-level duelist, which can elevate the family to a higher level!

The other two families did not come because they felt that their own construction was already quite good, and they did not need to ask You Ye for help, let alone get involved in the struggle between You Ye and the Zeng family.

Chapter 56 What if we both lose to the Dark Duelists?

"Senior, your opponent for the city duel championship this afternoon has been revealed. As expected, it's someone from the Zeng family, the duelist from the Thunder Dragon faction." At this moment, Chang Xingge, who had been silent and looking at his phone, handed the phone to You Ye.

"It's nothing, just what I expected." You Ye took the phone, glanced at it a few times, and then handed it back to Chang Xingge.

Bai Yun'er had already told him about his opponents in the semifinals, which of course included the opponents from the other two halves of the bracket in the semifinals.

The duelist for the Thunder Dragon faction was deliberately placed there by the Zeng family during the round of 16. From that point on, the Zeng family's purpose could not have been clearer.

Seeing You Ye's calm demeanor, no one present dared to ask him any questions, nor did they offer any advice or challenges based on their own abilities. They understood that with You Ye's skill, unless he had a particularly bad run of luck, he was guaranteed to win.

Of course, curiosity is inevitable. One is to banish the effect, and the other is to banish the opponent. The Divine Monument is clearly countered, not to mention that the Thunder Dragon Duelist will most likely also carry Cosmic Cyclone as a counter card.

How did You Ye handle this disadvantageous situation? That's something they should definitely learn from!

Hangzhou, Zeng family, family council hall.

Zeng Wang, Zeng Jie, and an elderly man were among them.

"As expected, the cosmic whirlwind couldn't restrain You Ye." Zeng Jie looked at an elderly man and respectfully told him about You Ye's duel.

"Yes, as expected. Zeng Jie, go and make arrangements to get Chen Honglei the blocking terminal for the Thunder Dragon field, any method will do. Then give him the Dark Duel Contract that the Dark Duelist gave us, so that when he starts a duel, he can activate a life-or-death duel. A life-or-death duel is one life for one life. A level Earth duelist, plus two or three cards, should be able to leverage a level Yellow duelist."

"Finally, we replied to the Dark Duelists, saying that the Zeng family was willing to cooperate with their people inside the arena to tamper with things and let them in. If Chen Honglei failed, we would let the Dark Duelists in."

"Ancestor, Chen Honglei is fine, but isn't there something wrong with the Dark Duelists? They're trying to recruit You Ye, and who knows, they might turn on our Zeng family after they win." Zeng Jie asked after thinking for a moment.

"Even if they retaliate, we'll make sure they can get out!" Zeng Xu's expression was somewhat ferocious. He slowly said, "This time, I will personally ambush them. As long as the Dark Duelists succeed, I will stop them. You are responsible for requesting dueling authority from the Duelist Association for me to have dueling privileges within Hangzhou."

"Given the personalities of the people in the Duel Association and the Inspectorate, they wouldn't allow You Ye to live if he joined the Dark Duelists. He would pose too great a threat to the open world!" Zeng Xu answered coldly.

"Brilliant! Ancestor, you've truly planned everything perfectly." Zeng Jie's face was full of joy. Just as Zeng Xu said, if You Ye becomes a Dark Duelist, the Inspectorate and the Duelist Association will definitely not allow You Ye to continue growing. If the Inspectorate and the Duelist Association agree, it would be feasible for a Heavenly-level expert in Hangzhou to take action!

As for Heavenly-level Ancestors taking action to bully the weak? That won't happen. When faced with anything, no matter who the opponent is, once they truly consider them an enemy, they will eliminate them at all costs. They won't go through layers of attacks to give away experience points!

“Ancestor, I have a question,” Zeng Wang suddenly said after hearing this.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Jie and Zeng Xu turned to look at him. Feeling their gazes, Zeng Wang swallowed hard. After a while, seeing that he didn't speak and that Zeng Jie and Zeng Xu's eyes were filled with anger, Zeng Wang finally spoke: "What if, I mean, what if, we also lose to the Dark Duelist? What will we do then?"

Upon hearing this, Zeng Jie and Zeng Xu fell silent and remained speechless for a long time.

If this doesn't work, what else can we do? Just let it be!

In the afternoon, You Ye met his opponent, Chen Honglei, a duelist from the Leilong Field who had become a Di-level duelist.

After the two met, they didn't exchange any trash talk. They just waited for the duel to begin. When the attendant led them to the dueling room and they stood in their positions, the room went into closed mode. Chen Honglei looked at You Ye and spoke.

"Although you are my enemy, You Ye, I am honestly grateful to you. Without you, I would never have reached the prefecture level in ten years, let alone obtained a powerful terminal that is very difficult for my own family to acquire!"

"It seems the Zeng family has really gone to great lengths these past few days to train you to deal with me," You Ye said with a smile.

"Yes, the family has sacrificed so much for me, it's my turn to repay the family." Chen Honglei did not deny it, then took out a palm-sized piece of black paper from his clothes, tore it to shreds, and said coldly, "For the family that nurtured me, considering that it was you who pushed things along, I will let you die a quick death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, darkness enveloped the surroundings. You Ye was quite surprised to see what was happening before him.

He had expected the Zeng family to cause trouble this time, but he didn't expect them to bring in a dark duel.

All I can say to this is: Go all out!

The rules of this duel are very simple and clear: the winner lives and gains everything from the loser; the loser dies and falls into the underworld.

By the way, there's an additional condition to his win: he gets a card list from the Zeng family, allowing him to choose any three original cards. The card list is provided by the rules, so it's incredibly satisfying.

He didn't cause trouble for the Zeng family before because others could avoid fighting, but you can't force a duel if you don't know how to use dark duels. Betting on cards requires the other party's consent. Now that the Zeng family has given him a chance to take advantage of them, he definitely won't let it go!

At this moment, You Ye did not notice that a trace of confusion flashed in Chen Honglei's eyes. What puzzled him was not the cassette, which was expected. The original contract did not stipulate that he would fall into the underworld; if he died, he would die.

He quickly regained his composure; after all, dying and falling into the underworld were the same outcome.

"Come on, this duel will determine not only victory or defeat, but also life or death," Chen Honglei's cold voice rang out.

“Alright!” You Ye nodded and started the duel.

When You Ye and his companions began their duel, Wang Cheng and Luo Hao, who were in the spectator stands, looked grim.

Their alliance and the supervisory bureau don't have any top-tier duelists stationed in Hangzhou, but... is it that they don't have any? No! It's that there's absolutely no need for them to have any big shots stationed there!

Most city families, including those in Hangzhou, have been repeatedly warned by the Inspectorate and the top-level and even king-level bigwigs of the Decision Association, in order to prevent them from messing around and disrupting the order and rules.

Because of this, the Zeng family has been targeting You Ye for the past two days, but they have been doing so within the rules. In addition, the family is a local power, so they can't easily intervene to stop the situation within the rules.

So now the Zeng family has brought the Dark Duel to the finals of the City Duel? This is a serious violation!

Wang Cheng and Luo Hao exchanged glances. They were about to contact the bigwigs in the bureau and the association, asking them to come to the Zeng family to settle scores and teach these families a lesson, letting them know who really was in charge.

And by taking this opportunity to resolve the Zeng family issue, we can also completely befriend You Ye!

As for You Ye losing? Those who know part of You Ye's strength don't really think Chen Honglei can beat You Ye, even though the Thunder Dragon field is relatively restrained by the Divine Stele.

Chapter 57 Thunder Dragon Super Thunder Dragon Cosmic Cyclone? Any objections to advancing to the battle rank?

You Ye (8000LP) vs. Chen Honglei (8000LP)

The duel rules allowed Chen Honglei to choose whether to attack first or second. He chose to attack first, and both sides drew five cards. The duel began.

Both sides were fine during the card drawing and preparation phases, but then Chen Honglei's main phase began.

"I discard this card from my hand due to the effect of [Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon], and add 1 [Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon] from my Deck to my hand; then I discard this card due to the effect of [Thunder Dragon] from my hand, and add two Thunder Dragon monsters from my Deck to my hand."

"I activate the Spell Card 'Temptation of Darkness' in my hand, draw two cards, and then banish the DARK Attribute 'Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon' from my hand."

Chen Honglei looked at the cards in his hand, nodded in satisfaction, and then continued, "I activate the Spell Card [Name Deduction]. You declare any level from 1 to 12. This continues until a monster that can be Normal Summoned appears."

"I'll activate my C2 chain by discarding the [Value-Added G] in my hand. Every time you Special Summon, I'll draw one. The effect of the deduction will grant me a Level 3 declaration." Chen Honglei was interrupted halfway through his sentence by You Ye, who then activated his chain and declared his own declaration.

Chen Honglei frowned slightly. He naturally knew the effect of G and understood how powerful it was. However, he quickly relaxed as he looked at his hand. He could finish the game with four Special Summons. One for four, he was confident that Youye would not be able to beat his Thunder Dragon finish.

As for the declaration, he wasn't surprised. You Ye, who knew a great deal about the family's intelligence, was likely familiar with the Thunder Dragon and would definitely declare a level that the Thunder Dragon didn't possess.

Effect of delayed effect followed by earlier effect: c2's G-type effect is successfully activated; c1's inference effect is successfully activated, and the first card flipped is [Thunder Beast Dragon - Thunder Dragon], which meets the conditions for Special Summoning. Chen Honglei chooses to Special Summon.

"The effect of the Extra Deck card 【Super Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon】 is that if you Tribute 1 Thunder-Type Effect Monster you control (other than a Fusion Monster) during the turn a Thunder-Type monster's effect is activated in your hand, you can Special Summon it from the Extra Deck. This turn, I activated the effects of Thunder Dragon and Thunder Dragon in my hand, so I can Tribute 【Thunder Beast Dragon - Thunder Dragon】 on the field to Special Summon it!"

"Come out, the lockdown terminal [Super Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon] (Face-up Defense Position) that the family spent a lot of resources to get for me!"

A series of lightning bolts flashed, accompanied by crackling electrical sounds, and then a dragon with a six-horned head, bat wings, and its entire body wrapped in lightning appeared on the field.

The moment he appeared, Yu Ye keenly sensed that the lightning was not a complete holographic image. Just like when he and Muning simulated their duel, the spirit was gradually becoming more realistic.

【Super Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon】

[Thunder Clan/Fusion/Effect/Dark/Level 8]

ATK: 2600; DEF: 2400

"Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon's effect: If this card is banished or sent from the field to the Graveyard, Special Summon 1 [Thunder Dragon] monster from your Deck in Defense Position. The monster Special Summoned by this effect returns to its owner's hand during the End Phase. I choose to Special Summon [Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon]."

"The effect of my card [Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon] targets the Super Thunder Dragon on my field. Send this card to the Graveyard, and Super Thunder Dragon gains 500 ATK!"

"Finally, I activate the Spell Card [Thunder Dragon Fusion] in my hand, fusing three Thunder-Type cards from the banished zone: Thunder Dragon-Thunder Dragon, Thunder Dragon, and Thunder Source Dragon-Thunder Dragon. Come forth, my Thunder Dragon-Thunder Dragon's strongest attack power terminal [Thunder God Dragon-Thunder Dragon] (face-up Defense Position)!"

Boom! ! !

Amidst blinding flashes of lightning and deafening thunder, the dueling room resounded, and then a colossal lightning dragon, a mix of blue and black with three heads, emerged, bathed in the lightning.

【Thor Dragon - Thunder Dragon】

[Thunder Clan/Fusion/Effect/Light/Level 10]

ATK: 3200; DEF: 3200

"I set a card face down. During the End Phase, the Electro Dragon Special Summoned to the field returns to my hand due to the effect of Electro Dragon, and then I declare the end of my turn."

"It's your turn. Enjoy your last moments!"
