Yu-Gi-Oh!: Holding Ruri Kurosaki, I'm invincible!

"You knew that?"

You Ming asked in surprise, "How did Elder Jiang know that the Ash Alliance was going to assign him to the alchemy academy when he had just signed the contract?"

"Elder Jin told me that you underestimate me too much."

Old Jiang proudly raised his chin, then took out a gold plaque from the drawer and handed it to You Ming.

You Ming looked over and was immediately startled.

It turned out to be a professorship certificate from the Ash Alliance, with Jiang Lao's name engraved on it, along with the Ash Alliance's black dragon emblem.

"I am an honorary professor of the Ash Alliance. Many of my former students are now top teachers in the Ash Alliance."

"Now you know I'm no ordinary person, right?"

The white-haired old man was full of pride, his chin almost reaching the sky.

You Ming had already quickly exchanged 1500 points and bought the alchemy book.

He opened the booklet, and his eyes were met with densely packed alchemy formulas and card-making methods.

There are also techniques for combining various rare materials, which instantly immersed Youming in the game.

Everything around me seemed to disappear, leaving only the booklet in my hand and the deck fusion ideas in my mind.

This looks rather difficult to understand, full of obscure alchemy formulas. No wonder Jaden Yuki slept through his alchemy classes all the time back then.

Old Jiang reminded him from the side, his tone slightly teasing, "However, this alchemy method is quite superior, and the difficulty of learning it is also top-notch. Not only do you need to have enough resources to try and fail, but you also need to have enough resources to try and fail."

Furthermore, one must have their own direction of understanding; otherwise, it's a pure waste of materials and time, even for the most talented duelist.

It takes at least a year and a half to get the hang of it.

Seeing the boy standing motionless, his eyes fixed on the booklet, even his breathing became soft.

The old man shook his head helplessly and said, "Kids these days are so impatient. I haven't even finished speaking yet."

To master an alchemical technique, one needs to study it for at least a year and a half, and you'll need to put in a lot of hard work.

"Don't be impatient for quick results, or you'll easily go astray and lose control of your own deck..."

Before he could finish speaking, You Ming suddenly took out his phone and started rapidly typing.

I bought all the basic materials needed for card making at once.

Various potions, card blanks, and alchemy tools were instantly delivered by the staff, piling up on the table.

Old Jiang suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed on You Ming, and his expression instantly changed as he sensed the faint alchemical aura emanating from him.

Although You Ming had surprised him before, he had never lost his composure like this before.

But watching his deft movements, like carving with a knife and axe, various potions were precisely mixed in his hands and dripped onto the card embryo.

When all the energy was finally concentrated on a single card, Old Jiang was completely stunned.

Has You Ming finally mastered the basics?

Looking at the card in You Ming's hand, it was a basic Normal Spell Card called "Fireball".

The effect is simple: it deals 500 points of damage to the opponent.

Although it wasn't a particularly powerful card, it was still remarkable that he was able to learn the basics of alchemy and successfully create his first magic card in such a short time.

That alone proves that he has completely mastered the basics.

Even Jiang Lao, who had experienced many storms and seen countless genius duelists, felt somewhat like he was in a dream at this moment.

Pointing at You Ming, he was speechless for a long time—the record for the fastest mastery of alchemy was set 40 years ago.

There was a boy who was exceptionally talented and studied diligently for three months before he finally mastered the basics.

After two years of minor progress and five years of major progress, one of the cards in Youming's current Dragon Conquest deck was finally developed.

That young man was none other than Byron, currently ranked number one on the Heart Garden Fighting King Ranking and one of the most powerful duelists in the entire Heart Garden.

Looking at the young man before him, Old Jiang had a shocking idea:

This kid's comprehension ability is even more terrifying than Byron's!

It took Baron three months to master the basics, but this kid only took a few minutes!

"Elder Jiang, I think I understand the meaning of this alchemy technique a little better now."

You Ming said softly, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible excitement.

He was so engrossed in this book that it felt like he had opened the door to a new world.

Countless ideas for integration exploded in his mind.

He learned something that he only vaguely understood, but it was enough for him to overcome his current bottleneck.

Jiang Laoqiang suppressed his shock and forced a smile, saying defiantly, "Although your fireball is of poor quality and the energy fluctuations on the card are not stable enough."

It's nowhere near as good as the first Magic Card I ever made.

But his talent is also excellent, although he is a bit weaker than me.

But with hard work, one can definitely find a place in the alchemy world in the future.

"So you think you know a lot about this?"

You Ming looked up in confusion, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

He could tell that Old Jiang was just surprised by his actions, but he was just being stubborn and wouldn't admit it. "Old Jiang, there are a few things I don't quite understand, and I'd like to ask you for your guidance."

For example, the proportions of this potion, and the technique of energy concentration—I always feel I haven't done it well enough…”

"Alchemy is something you learn through self-study, not by asking around. Go back and figure it out yourself!"

Old Jiang abruptly interrupted him, raising his hand to push him towards the door, his tone slightly flustered, "I have other things to attend to, I don't have time to waste with you."

"You should leave quickly, and once you're gone, study alchemy diligently. Don't let my efforts go to waste!"

How could he dare to explain this to You Ming?

His own understanding of this alchemy book was still superficial.

He's not even a beginner yet. If You Ming asks him some profound questions that he can't answer, he'll lose all face.

Only after the boy's figure disappeared through the door did Old Jiang breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he pulled out another identical alchemy manual from the drawer and muttered to himself:

"I must have been watching it the wrong way before. This thing shouldn't be that hard to learn, right?"

"I was a genius duelist back in the day, how could I possibly be defeated by a mere brat?"

He learned from You Ming's method and began to mix various medicines.

But my fingers wouldn't obey me; they either added the wrong amount of medicine or engraved the wrong pattern on the card.

Half an hour later, there was a loud "bang".

A cloud of black smoke rose from his face, blackening his white beard.

The booklet in his hand was also blown open with a hole.

Old Jiang slammed the booklet to the ground and cursed, "What kind of rubbish is this? Not a single word is comprehensible!"

How did this kid do that? He's a monster!

As You Ming walked home, he silently made plans in his mind.

Currently, it appears that the existing Hyperdimension technology has not yet enabled direct spaceship travel to the moon.

If all eight of these stores fail, we'll probably have to keep throwing money at it in the future.

"Sigh~"

You Ming recalled that similar things in his previous life required hundreds of experts and investments of hundreds of millions or even billions of yuan.

He felt a headache coming on just because it was possible to create this trial version.

If all else fails, we'll give up on the Dragon Emperor and try a new approach.

At worst, I could try to trick Kaito and get a Lightwave Dragon from him.
