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

Ye Lingxuan froze, realizing he was being caught in the crossfire of gossip.

Slowly turning her head, she saw that Ryoji Asuka was clearly furious, looking like he was about to devour someone.

His mind raced, and without thinking, he immediately flattered, "Brother Liangsi, you're definitely stronger!"

You Ming only managed to barely win the title of number one in Heart Garden by taking advantage of the Ancient Gear deck that fused with dimensions.

It has absolutely no technical content; it's nowhere near as good as yours!

Kurosawa nodded repeatedly, echoing, "Yes, yes, Ryoji-nii, you are a genius from Kyoto."

As a Tier 4 Xyz Monster Communicator, Yu Ming is just a wild kid from MaiNet City. How could he possibly compare to you?

His heart is the most precious, but it's very watery.

As Ryoji Asuka listened to the two men's flattery, most of his anger subsided.

His expression softened, and he waved his hand, feigning magnanimity: "You two have good judgment; you even know how to tell the truth."

Ye Lingxuan and Hei Ze exchanged a glance, inwardly cursing: "If you have the guts, swear that if we tell the truth, you'll never bother us again!"

That guy, Youming, could crush us with just his signature deck.

If you switch to an Ancient Gear deck, how will Ryoji Asuka compete with him?

He probably wouldn't even be able to touch a single finger of his Chaos Giant.

Asuka Shin spoke calmly, interrupting their conversation: "Alright, stop fooling around. Kokoro will reward the top 100 geniuses in this professional exam."

Yu Ming will also come to Kyoto to attend the commendation ceremony.

If you really disagree with him, then you can visit him in person and have a match with him to see if he's right or wrong.

Why waste time arguing here?

Asuka Shin wasn't interested in this kind of childish rivalry, and even if Yu Ming could really summon that giant Chaos Giant, he wouldn't take it seriously.

So what if it's bigger?

His warrior deck excels at blocking and controlling opponents.

As long as You Ming doesn't summon the Chaos Giant, he's just an ordinary duelist.

Shin Asuka is absolutely confident that he can face off against his Warrior deck.

He only needs to play a few simple moves to easily capture You Ming.

Upon hearing this, Ryoji Asuka's eyes flashed with intense fighting spirit, and he immediately became interested.

Thinking of Fujii Shizuko's disdainful departure that morning, he clenched his fists and said coldly, "Fine! I'll definitely have a match with him then."

I will prove everyone wrong with the facts and show them.

Just how incompetent is he to be ranked number one in the "Heart Garden" competition?

Ye Lingxuan and Hei Ze, who were in the corner, finally broke free from the fear brought by You Ming.

Seeing Ryoji Asuka's arrogant and confident demeanor, the two men's eyes lit up, and they thought to themselves: It's so similar. He looks exactly like the man they did when they provoked Yu Ming.

Equally arrogant, equally ignorant of their own limitations.

The two exchanged a glance, and a malicious smile crept onto their lips.

He was secretly calculating: Hey, naughty kids need a ruthless guy like You Ming to discipline them properly.

It would be best to tear his deck to shreds and let him know what it means to be outmatched.

As darkness fell, a thick, oppressive night enveloped the entire city of Kyoto.

Even the breeze by the lake carried a hint of coolness.

In the office of the director of the Tokyo Duel Bureau, Tang Zesheng sat at his desk.

His fingers traced the future development path of the Kyoto dueling world on the paper, but his brows were tightly furrowed and his face was full of worry: "Sigh, all the top 100 geniuses in the professional exams have gathered in Kyoto."

Preparing for the awards ceremony, these arrogant young men, each one haughty and self-important, how can they possibly hold their own?

He recalled the young man surnamed You he had met in Wuwang City a few days ago.

When I first saw his professional exam results, I was already amazed.

Thinking that this young man could freely control the Ancient Gear deck and summon the Chaos Giant, he must be an extraordinary person.

However, such a genius is too unruly and difficult to control.

In addition, the information I received from Kanamori Kura a few days ago said that You Ming had fought a violent fight at the graduation banquet.

Without leaving any room for negotiation, Tang Zesheng's brows furrowed even more: "Sigh, is You Ming a blessing or a curse for the dueling world of Kyoto?"

Just then, the cell phone on the table suddenly rang, its beeping ring breaking the silence of the office.

Tang Zesheng answered the phone, his tone gentle: "Little Liang Si, what's up so late?"

A hurried yet determined voice came from the other end of the phone: "Uncle Tang Ze, have You Ming and the others arrived in Kyoto?"

"Where will you stay when you arrive?"

Tang Zesheng asked with a smile, "What? You want to meet people your own age and make some friends?"

Ryoji Asuka snorted coldly, his fighting spirit almost palpable through the phone:

"Know him? I want to have a friendly competition with him, to see just how good this 'Number One in the Heart Garden' really is!"

In principle, this kind of competitive and privately arranged fight is wrong.

As the leader of the Duel Bureau, Tang Zesheng should have severely criticized and prohibited the juniors from fighting each other in private.

But what You Ming did in Wuwang City was far too arrogant; he didn't take anyone seriously.

Tang Zesheng had long wanted to temper his temper!

Ryoji Asuka is a genius nurtured in Tokyo and is one of the Asuka twins.

With Asuka and the Ash Alliance backing him up, if Ryoji Asuka can win...

Then the geniuses of Kyoto will be more obedient.

After thinking for a moment, Tang Zesheng changed the subject and earnestly instructed, "Ryoji, I know you want to learn from outstanding people and improve together."

However, one must also be mindful of one's attitude and refrain from resorting to violence or causing trouble in private.

You Ming is staying at a hotel on the 20th floor of the Corn Building. You absolutely must not disturb him at night.

"You're disturbing his rest, you know?"

After hanging up the phone, Tang Zesheng walked to the railing of the office.

Looking down at the bustling night view of Kyoto, a calculating smile curled at the corner of his lips: "It's lonely at the top."

He has said what he needed to say and given the necessary reminders.

What Ryoji Asuka does next is none of his business.

Tang Zesheng had his own selfish motives: if Asuka Ryoji really defeated You Ming, then all the prestige and honor that You Ming currently possessed would be gone.

Everything belongs to Ryoji Asuka!

Returning to the Kyoto dueling community, he, as the bureau chief, could also earn a reputation for effective discipline.

If Ryoji Asuka is defeated, it is Asuka's own business and has nothing to do with him.

He could naturally side with You Ming and appease this genius by doing him a favor.

This approach of betting on both sides is the only way to ensure success.

Outside his hotel room on the 32nd floor of the Corn Building, You Ming leaned against the wall in the corridor.

Turning to Ruri Kurosaki beside him, he asked, "How have you been these past few days? Are you settling in?"

"very good."

Ruri Kurosaki nodded, a slight smile playing on her lips, her eyes gentle. "Brother said someone will come looking for us today."

"Is that so?" You Ming raised an eyebrow and nodded lightly, his fingertips rubbing the card-making tools in his pocket.

A hint of weariness flashed in his eyes.

"Isn't he coming by himself?" You Ming asked again.

Liuli shook her head and said softly, "Brother has important matters to attend to in the alliance and can't leave for the time being. He won't be able to come out so easily."

"Oh, really? Okay then." You Ming nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"Good night, sweet dreams." The two said good night to each other and then turned and went back to their rooms.
