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

Duel rules?

Zeng Xu looked at You Ye as if he had seen some kind of monster, filled with deep confusion and fear.

It's one thing for the Duel Association and the Inspectorate to protect a Yellow-rank duelist, but what does this mean? Are the rules all in his favor? It's not that no family has planted members in city competitions, or even incorporated dark duels into regional competitions.

The rules did impose penalties, but at most, the family's resources would be confiscated, and the duelists within the family would simply be doing free work for the Inspectorate and the Duel Association.

After all, they wouldn't risk the extermination of their entire clan!

But why is that?

"If that's the case, then come on, this will be my last battle!" After a few seconds of silence, Zeng Xu slowly spoke.

"Let me do it," Zhao Jingqing stepped forward and said slowly.

The moment she spoke, a phantom silver palace appeared, enveloping everyone present within its walls.

Tian Nan then stepped back to You Ye's side, watching the duel unfold before them side by side.

"Will a Heavenly-level duel cause damage to the surrounding area?" Looking at the arrangement, You Ye asked Tian Nan beside him.

“Yes, in a Heaven-level duel, as long as the monster’s Vigor isn’t too high, you can treat it as a real spirit. Therefore, Heaven-level duelists are generally prohibited from dueling in populated areas. Um, Earth-level duelists are also prohibited, as Earth-level duelists will also affect the surrounding area.” Tian Nan answered You Ye directly.

After saying that, he looked at the duel that had already begun in mid-air and smiled, saying, "Guess what the biggest difference is between a Heaven-level duelist and a duelist below the Heaven level?"

You Ye fell into thought, then shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. The strongest duelist Mu Ning had ever encountered was only at the Earth level, and she didn't know anything about the Heaven level either, so he didn't know either.

Tian Nan glanced at You Ye, who was deep in thought, then looked at Zhao Jingqing and Zeng Xu, who had already begun their duel in the sky, and slowly said, "Watch closely."

You Ye was puzzled at first, but then he understood. He realized that he had been a bit careless and had underestimated the Heavenly-level and above duelists in this world, especially the Heavenly-level duelists who had embarked on the King's Road!

Some people might be worried that the author is letting the Zeng family off the hook, so let me preface this by saying that the upcoming plot involves the extermination of the entire clan.

Chapter 64 No, do you two officials really need to be so sycophantic?

Zhao Jingqing (8000LP) vs Zeng Xu (8000LP)

Both sides first drew five cards each, which was Zhao Jingqing's main stage one.

Zhao Jingqing summons the Silver Castle lower-level monster [Ariana the Summoner of Silver Castle]. Zeng Xu discards [Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring] from his hand to negate the search. Then Zhao Jingqing Special Summons the second sister of the Silver Castle archetype from his hand, [Silver Princess of Labyrinth Castle]. Finally, Zeng Xu follows up with a chain, discarding the second hand trap [G-Valued].

In the final settlement, Zeng Xu drew one card and received a special summon of Shirogane, while Ariana's search was ineffective.

At this point, Yu Ye was just an accident, and the world around him still had decent interactions, but things started to go wrong later.

After Zhao Jingqing finished his turn, Zeng Xu chose to normally summon [Cyber ​​Dragon Core] to search for spells. Zhao Jingqing then unleashed his ultimate move, summoning his eldest sister [Rabillins of the Silver City] to return Ariana to his hand. At the same time, his second sister, Silver Princess, set [Deck Destruction Virus] with her effect.

Immediately after, Labyrinth activated his effect to destroy cards, and then Zhao Jingqing activated his second face-down card, "Dark Deck Destruction Virus," to release Big Sister's spell. Zeng Xu chained in and activated the counter trap "Red Reboot" to interrupt it, and Zhao Jingqing chained in again to activate his last face-down card, "Divine Declaration."

In the end, Dark Poison used two spells, and Big Sister used up a hand of cards, leaving Zeng Xu with no choice but to declare the game over, completely putting him at a disadvantage.

Both sides seemed to know what the other was going to do, and arranged counter cards, which were called side cards in the previous world. It was one thing to include them, but I had heard Wang Cheng and the others mention this before. The Heavenly-level Duelists' main family still followed the forbidden card list of the previous world. In other words, Divine Declaration II, Shutdown I.

If that's the case, it's clearly very unreasonable that the two of them drew the correct numbers!

In an instant, You Ye understood Tian Nan's meaning, and his heart sank slightly. He looked at Tian Nan and asked, "I want to know what level a Heavenly-level bond can reach?"

“Let me give you an example. Whenever I add a card to my deck, if I want to draw it, I might not get it the first time, but I’m sure I’ll get it the second time. Usually, out of five cards, I’ll get three of the cards I want. As for Zeng Xu, I’m sure I can get one out of three cards. Out of five cards, I’ll get two without any surprises. And for someone like Zeng Jie who just reached the Heavenly Rank, I’ll get about one out of four cards.” Tian Nan looked at You Ye meaningfully.

Over 60% of the duelists at the Heavenly level are King-level, and over 40% are strong Heavenly level!

Thinking about this probability, You Ye silently noted it down. He originally thought that after he reached the Xuan level and perfected the Divine Stele, he could kill indiscriminately, but now it seems that's not the case.

Take Zeng Xu, a slightly stronger Heaven-level character, for example. If you thoroughly research all his cards and then bring counter cards, with five cards, you can draw five at the start of the game and at least get two cards in your hand. It's pure nonsense to say that he poses no threat to you.

He may be strong, but if he encounters two or three targeted cards, whether it's the current wheelchair tearjerkers, self-commemorative plaques, or sticker plaques, he's not very accepting.

Fortunately, there's no card printing involved, so exploiting information asymmetry is still possible.

In conclusion, the journey of collecting cards is even more urgent and cannot be taken lightly.

Besides the Tear of the Gods, this period has also seen the emergence of deck diversity based on the two fields of Horus and the Divine Monument, such as the Information King Rose Monument and the Accelerated Evil Lock Nature Horus decks.

"What about the real King-level?" After clarifying the goal, You Ye looked at Tian Nan.

"I don't know." Tian Nan waved his hand helplessly: "If you're not a fellow King-level duelist or if someone specifically contacts you, you simply can't find them. Right now, they might be on vacation somewhere, or perhaps traveling in some world of the Pokémon universe. They've transcended the mundane world, and no one can do anything to them or ask anything of them. All we can say is that anything is possible."

"That's quite interesting." You Ye nodded silently upon hearing this. Isn't this level of freedom at the King level exactly what he's been pursuing?

"Ahem, speaking of which, Youye, do you have time later? One of my juniors needs you to modify his deck." Seeing that the duel was about to end, Tian Nan coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment and asked.

"Sure. But let me make this clear first, I'm taking my leave of the freebie." You Ye agreed, but he also made it clear that Wang Lu was indeed strong. According to Mu Ning, after reaching the Xuan level, he would have at least two Springs on his Divine Stele, and he would also have many other cards. With these, plus his other trump cards, if Wang Lu drew three counter cards, he wouldn't be too stuck with a bad hand. With proper preparation, Wang Lu's duelists would be a match for him.

“No problem, I’ll give you the payment first.” Tian Nan took out a gold card and handed it to You Ye.

Youye took it, a little curious. Of the card list given to him before, apart from a very few cards, the ones he hadn't collected were mostly quasi-limited cards or even banned cards from his previous life.

"Oh? [Foolish Burial]? You've really gone all out!" Yu Ye looked at Tian Nan with a deep gaze when he saw the card. As a duelist on the King's Road, he couldn't possibly not understand the value of this unconditionally powerful card, Foolish Burial.

"There's nothing I can do. You definitely won't want the cards you've already obtained from the card list you sent out. As for the cards I haven't obtained, this is the only card I have, and among my descendants, only she has potential; the others aren't very good." Tian Nan said helplessly.

His junior has been stuck at the Earth-level for over ten years. Although Earth-level duelists can live to be two hundred years old without any problem, and she is only in her early thirties with plenty of time ahead, he feels that his junior has taken the wrong path.

Her combo potential might not be primarily focused on Xyz and Synchro Summoning; she could go further down other paths. However, it's unclear what those other paths would lead to or what strategies she should employ.

Why didn't he seek out Yuya himself? After arriving at the Royal Road, with his bond with the elves, as long as the field usage was correct, it would be fine. Constructing a deck in a certain sense would actually be a limitation, lacking the flexibility and possibilities of a deck.

Of course, the most important thing is that as a duelist on the King's Road, he is just one step away from the King rank. If he is criticized by a rookie duelist like Yu Ye who is only at the Yellow rank, and he can't refute it, it would be a bit embarrassing. Otherwise, modifying the deck while keeping the possibility of the deck and making the chance of getting a bad hand almost zero is not unacceptable.

"Okay, but you know the rules, right?" You Ye accepted the card and asked with a smile.

“Understood. We’ll only provide the deck and strategy; we’ll figure out the rest ourselves.” Tian Nan smiled.

With him around, as long as he gets the deck construction and strategy, as well as the deck types and cards, as long as they aren't cards he's never even heard of, he can handle it for the younger generation without much trouble.

"Next, we have a request from the Inspectorate. We hope you can prioritize helping us modify the deck in the future, and also let our people communicate with you about your original cards. You can set the reward, as long as it's within the Inspectorate's capabilities," Tian Nan said, looking at You Ye.

"Prince Yong, you actually ran away! We agreed to a fair competition when we met." Zhao Jingqing, who had already finished his duel, spoke with dissatisfaction. As for Zeng Xu, who had lost, he had disappeared, vanished from this world, or rather, from the entire universe.

"What do you mean by 'running away'? I didn't tell anyone secretly, nor did I say that I only asked You Ye to help our Inspectorate." Tian Nan looked a little embarrassed.

"Heh!" Zhao Jingqing replied with a cold laugh. As duelists of the King Rank, their life level was higher than that of ordinary elves. She had clearly heard Tian Nan mention the 'Priority Inspection Bureau'.

"I won't hold it against you." Zhao Jingqing looked at You Ye and said seriously, "I overheard the conversation between Yong Wang and you just now. You Ye, on behalf of the Duel Association, I hope you can help our Duel Association members modify their decks. The treatment is negotiable. I can give you the cards you want first, and then give them to the people whose decks need modification."

“Okay, I was just about to get you a new watch.” You Ye smiled upon hearing this.

The offer of payment upfront followed by delivery is already offered, so there's naturally no reason to refuse. Furthermore, Horus and the Divine Monument are also lacking cards for reinforcement, and Snake Eyes also needs cards. We can't just give Pearl Tear a list; we need to give them more so they can find more cards to complete the card pools they need.

"A new table?" Upon hearing this, Tian Nan looked at the original card in Yu Ye's hand and felt a little uncomfortable. Since a new table would be given, the card pool would definitely be larger. Giving away Yuu-mai would feel like a huge loss.

"Don't worry, things will be different from before."

"I was so short of cards before, I would have modified your deck if you paid me enough money, let alone give me cards."

“Now that I’m cooperating with you and many other family forces, I will rank the cards according to how much they are needed by me. For example, the Foolish Burial you gave me is the second highest rank. Just one card is enough for me to help modify the deck and playstyle,” Youye explained.

Upon hearing this, Tian Nan and Zhao Jingqing nodded silently. It was true that You Ye would modify the deck whenever he gave them cards. They even heard that some people could get modified decks from You Ye for less than 100,000.

It cost less than 100,000, which is the price of a slightly stronger mortal bone, yet it bought a structure that requires decades or even centuries of study. It doesn't seem like a good match at all.

Now that Youye has organized everything this way, it's become much more difficult for them to find decks to modify and improve, but it's also a good thing. This way, because it prevents many powerful decks from running around everywhere just because Youye sells them too easily. After all, it's generally impossible to assemble all the decks that Youye provides. What if someone gets lucky and manages to collect them or sells them to a Dark Duelist? That would make things very difficult for their Inspectorate and Duelist Association to handle.

Seeing You Ye not only befriend the two Wang Lu duelists on equal footing but also haggle over the price, Bai Lingtian and his two companions, who were trembling with fear, were slightly taken aback. Mo Wang and Sun Ce were even more dejected.

Their reaction wasn't because they thought Youye was being unreasonable, nor were they blindly saying that Youye raised prices just because he had customers. They felt there was nothing wrong with what Youye was doing. They argued that Youye hadn't understood the pricing of construction projects before, which was why the prices were so low, and that the previous customers had benefited from the lower prices. Now, the prices had simply returned to their original levels.

They were just unlucky; they just happened to encounter the value they were meant to have.

"Speaking of which, how will you and the Inspectorate handle the Zeng family's situation?" You Ye asked at that moment.

As he spoke, he looked at Zeng Jie. He had already gotten three of the seven cards, and he had his eye on the other four. He didn't want the Inspectorate and the Decision Association to snatch them away from him.

"How should we handle this?" Zhao Jingqing and Tian Nan were slightly taken aback, but both of them were shrewd and immediately understood what You Ye meant. Tian Nan immediately smiled and said, "Since the Zeng family offended you, we will definitely wipe out the entire Zeng family and then give you all of their resources."

Seeing the old ancestor dead, Zeng Jie, standing motionless on the ground like a corpse, was: ? ? ?

No, do you two, a national-level organization and a world-class organization, really need to be so obsequious?

Chapter 65 Fenrir the Wolf: Why are you Zeng family members so weak?

"Thank you. The Zeng family is now in your hands." Upon hearing this answer, You Ye nodded in satisfaction. Although there weren't many useful cards in the card list, all the resources of the Zeng family were still a pretty good deal as an exchange.

Just then, a voice came from afar: "We were unaware that the Zeng family wanted to kill you, You Ye. We have offended you greatly. As an apology, I have sent away one of the hidden Heavenly-level ancestors of the Zeng family. I have also disrupted the teleportation locations of the ten thousand Zeng family members who fled to the Elf Realm. Those who are not at the Heavenly level will either die or become servants of the elves within five days."

"Oh? He really came?" Upon hearing this voice, Zhao Jingqing and Tian Nan were both surprised, clearly knowing who the person was.

Youye nodded silently. The Dark Duelists always did things perfectly, no doubt about that. It's a pity that their goal was to recruit him. Even if they gave him the right cards, it wouldn't be impossible for him to modify their deck if they didn't want him to join.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Jie, whose face was ashen, immediately knelt on the ground. He knew that the Zeng family was finished, completely finished.

With the patriarch killed by Zhao Jingqing, the family's Heavenly-level duelist who was guarding the home was gone, and the 10,000 family elites who fled to the Elf Realm were thwarted and their escape was also lost once they entered the Elf Realm.
