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

Inside the room, You Ming slumped into a chair.

Looking at the mountain of discarded cards on the table, the weariness in his eyes deepened, even carrying a hint of despair.

There has been absolutely no progress in card production these past few days; every attempt has failed.

All he got in return was repeated failures; the number of useless cards on the table increased, while his wealth dwindled.

He has now completely given up the idea that he is "a chosen one of heaven".

He even began to doubt whether he really had a talent for card making.

Looking at his wealth, which had been halved again, and that pile of useless cards.

You Ming was utterly disappointed!

He slammed his fist on the table and muttered, "I guess they really didn't know the right way, otherwise how could they have ruined my stockpile like this?"

They can't even make a one-star Xyz Monster.

Just as he took out his phone, wanting to search for instructional videos on card making to see if he could find any clues,

Suddenly, there was a rapid knocking on the door, the "thump thump thump" sound like a heavy hammer.

It slammed hard against the door, and also into You Ming's already agitated mind.

"You Ming! Come out here!"

A loud, arrogant shout, laced with anger, came from outside the door: "You have the guts to take first place in Heart Garden, but not the guts to show your face? Stop pretending to be a coward!"

"Holy shit."

You Ming was still pondering how to proceed with the card printing process when he was interrupted by the sudden knocking and shouting.

All his thoughts were instantly thrown into disarray, and an uncontrollable surge of anger welled up in his heart and rushed to the top of his head.

Did I mess up Aunt Xue's house today?

Someone's trying to cause trouble and interrupt my train of thought!

He stood up abruptly without even changing out of his pajamas and walked straight to the door.

The boy's eyes were bloodshot, his gaze fierce and menacing, as if a lion were roaring within them. His aura of malevolence surged instantly: "You'd better have some urgent matter concerning the destruction of the world to discuss with me today."

Otherwise, I'll show you what regret really means!

At the same time, the elevator doors in the hotel corridor opened with a "ding-dong".

Ryoji Asuka, dressed in a black outfit, stepped out of the elevator, the forced duel chain on his wrist gleaming coldly.

His eyes blazed with a fierce fighting spirit that seemed almost tangible as he walked.

He kept muttering to himself as he looked down to find the house number.

He came today for only one thing—to prove, to prove, to fucking prove!

This proves that You Ming's ability to become the top student in Xinyuan is not due to his exceptional strength.

It's because Ryoji Asuka didn't take the professional exam!

When the tiger is away, the monkey becomes king!

Thinking of Fujii Shizuko's disdainful departure that morning, and the doubts people had about You Ming.

Ryoji Asuka snorted coldly, his disdain deepening: "Yu Ming, you just wait!"

I will let everyone know that your title of "Number One in Heart Garden" is nothing but a joke!

If you're bad at the game, practice more. If you can't handle losing, don't play duels!

Although Ryoji Asuka is reckless, he is not stupid; he had already calculated everything:

I am already quite proficient at communicating with fourth-tier Xyz Monsters, and I will be able to break through to the fifth tier within two months at the latest.

Even if the news reports weren't exaggerated, You Ming was only just able to communicate with a Tier 5 Xyz Monster.

In terms of deck mastery and dueling experience, Youming is definitely no match for him.

"3203".

Ryoji Asuka stood in front of a room and looked up to confirm the room number.

After confirming that he hadn't misread it, he shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice like a loudspeaker.

The echoes reverberated through the quiet corridor, making the walls seem to tremble.

There was no sound from inside the room.

Ryoji Asuka raised his hand again, pounding on the door and shouting, "Open the door! Open the door! Yu Ming, open the door for me!"

The room remained completely silent, without the slightest sound.

Seeing this, Ryoji Asuka curled his lips into a mocking smile, leaned back tactfully, and said smugly, "Heh, they obviously knew I was coming."

They're too afraid to fight, so they're hiding inside and too scared to come out, right?

As expected, he's a fraud; his title of "Number One in Xinyuan" is completely undeserved!

He raised his head, pounded on the door again, and shouted, "Open the door! You have the guts to take first place in Xinyuan and flaunt your power in Wuwang City, but you don't have the guts to open the door and duel with me?"

"If you don't open the door, I'll tear it down and just barge in!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and gripped the doorknob, preparing to forcefully remove the door.

Just as he was about to make his move, he heard clear footsteps coming from inside the room.

The sound grew louder and louder as it approached.

"Heh, now you can't escape it anymore, can you?"

A sinister smile appeared on Ryoji Asuka's face as he released the doorknob and took a step back.

He assumed a dueling stance, the chains on his wrists swaying slightly.

They were just waiting for You Ming to open the door, so they would immediately initiate a forced duel to humiliate him in public and shatter his status as the number one in the Heart Garden!

The advantage is in my hands.

The door slowly opened. The lights were off inside, and the profile of the young class monitor was shrouded in darkness, making it impossible to see his expression.

"What do you want to do?"

You Ming was suppressing his anger. Seriously, if this guy could give him a reason, even though he's grumpy when he wakes up, he wouldn't be able to vent it randomly.

"You're You Ming?"

Ryoji Asuka crossed his arms, his eyes looking down at him with disdain, as if he were looking at a defeated opponent.

"I am Ryoji Asuka from the Asuka family of Tokyo. I've come here today specifically to challenge you. Do you dare to accept the challenge? I have no urgent business; I'm just here to cause trouble."

You Ming was stunned. The suppressed grumpiness he felt upon waking up erupted like magma from inside a volcano.

There's nothing wrong with him late at night, he just comes here to act like a jerk.

Ryoji Asuka hadn't realized that he didn't even have a final chance to leave, and he raised his eyes at a 45-degree angle.

"You're the only one in your test, and I won't bully you. I'll give you one minute; this is my last act of mercy. Give me all of your..."

Before he could finish speaking about preparing his deck, Ryoji Asuka noticed that the light in front of him had vanished rapidly.

A chain forcing a duel was attached to his hand, and then the duel inexplicably began.

【DUEL!】

The red light of the Duel Disk suddenly blazed brightly, and two beams of energy shot straight up to the ceiling, turning the dimly lit corridor crimson.

The barrier of the forced duel instantly unfolded, enveloping the two of them. The surrounding air became hot and tense due to the elven aura of the deck.

[Yu Ming, LP4000]

Ryoji Asuka, LP4000

Yu Ming gave Asuka Ryoji no time to react, his tone as cold as ice: "I'll strike first! Summon [Fossil Dinosaur - Pachycephalosaurus]!"

A dark red summoning circle exploded in front of him, and a swollen-headed dragon covered in hard bone armor stepped out from the circle.

Its short, stubby limbs pushed off the ground, and the thick armor on its skull gleamed with a cold, matte finish.

[Fossil Dinosaur - Pachycephalosaurus, ATK1200]

"Set three cards face down to end the turn."

You Ming raised his hand and pointed to the back of the field, where three trap cards turned into three streaks of black light and disappeared into the barrier.

His movements were swift and decisive, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever, as if his opponent were nothing more than an ant on the roadside.
