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

He pretended to be indifferent, but in reality, he wanted to provoke You Ming and make him reveal a weakness.

You Ming glanced at him, his eyes completely calm, and said indifferently, "Oh, since you were able to block this attack, you're not bad."

The battle continues, let's use Thunder King for a direct attack.

The familiar thunder struck again, making the bird feel numb all over.

[Ryoji Asuka, LP5700→3800]

"Then I'll end this round like this." He wasn't fooled at all; this clumsy attempt at provocation was like a clown's antics in his eyes.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Ryoji Asuka practically lunged at the deck, his fingertips trembling as he pulled out the card, the moment he saw its face.

His eyes blazed with wild joy, as if he had grasped at the last straw. "Activate the magic card [Summoning Holy Mark]!"

Add a card from the Holy Chronicles set to your hand!

The core of the Holy Light deck is searching and deploying.

As long as I can get a Holy Dragon, I still have a chance to break the blockade!

Put the second half-dragon cover on...

However, a golden magic circle unfolded in front of him, and the deck trembled slightly, but no card flew out of the deck no matter what he did.

Instead, a large Error symbol appeared on his duel disk.

"It's useless." You Ming's voice floated over: "When [Thunder King] is on the field, the opponent cannot add cards from their deck to their hand."

"What?!"

As if struck by lightning, Ryoji Asuka looked up at the Thunder King, which was wrapped in lightning, on the field, and froze.

The ecstasy in his eyes was instantly replaced by despair. "Not only can I not use special summoning, but I can't even search for it? What kind of hellish thing is this?!"

He then realized that You Ming had laid a trap from the very beginning.

The Pachycephalosaurus is sealed by special recruitment, and the Thunder King is sealed by retrieval; under this double blockade...

His Sacred Dragon deck became completely useless, offering no chance of resistance whatsoever!

At this moment, Ryoji Asuka's pride was crushed, leaving only endless resentment and panic in his heart.

Thus, under the double blockade of Thunder King and Pachycephalosaurus, Ryoji Asuka was like a lamb to the slaughter.

Meanwhile, You Ming leisurely drew cards, enjoying the cat-and-mouse game.

"My turn, draw a card."

You Ming's voice rang out again, like a death knell, "Battle! Use Pachycephalosaurus, attack directly!"

Two attacks came one after the other. The impact of the lightning-encased bone armor slammed into Ryoji Asuka, making him sway precariously.

[Ryoji Asuka, LP3800→2600]

"It's not over yet!"

Yu Ming roared, "Activate the quick-attack spell 'Basaka's Record' (Berserker's Soul)!"

"The Soul of the Berserker?"

"If a monster with 1500 or less attack power makes a direct attack, send all cards in your hand to the Graveyard to activate this effect."

As You Ming spoke, he threw down all the cards in his hand: "For your glorious deed of interrupting my train of thought, of course I have to give you a reward!"

After that, every time you draw a card and confirm it's a monster card, send it to the Graveyard to allow the monster to perform an additional attack!

"What?"

"Alright, first one, let's draw a card!"

Yu Ming, with an air of royalty, drew a card: "Monster Card [Surf Searcher]! [Fossil Dinosaur - Pachycephalosaurus], additional attack!"

After throwing the card down, the Pachycephalosaurus once again rammed the bird away.

[Ryoji Asuka, LP2600→1400]

"Draw a card, Monster Card [Effect Veiler]"

"Ah!"

[Ryoji Asuka, LP1400→200]

"Draw a card, Monster Card 'Thunder King'"

"Ah!"

[Ryoji Asuka, LP200→0]

"Draw a card, a monster card!"

"Ah!"

"Draw a card, a monster card!"

"Aaaaaah!"

"Ah!"

"what!"

"..."

Meanwhile, in the lobby on the first floor of the Corn Building, Shiratsuyama, the director of the Tokyo Duel Bureau, was talking to Tang Zesheng in front of the bar.

Bai Zeshan's square face was taut, and his formal attire exuded authority, giving him the kind of appearance that commanded great credibility at first glance.

His rank was half a level higher than Tang Zesheng's, and he came here specifically to receive You Ming, the number one in Xinyuan.

"Old Sheng, how's the situation with You Ming?" Bai Zeshan picked up his teacup, took a sip, and asked in a deep voice.

Tang Zesheng quickly smiled and said, "Don't worry, Director Bai, we've already arranged for you to stay in a luxury suite on the 32nd floor."

Everything you need for clothing, food, shelter, and transportation is provided; all expenses are settled in the duel matches.

However, that kid has a cold personality; the people I sent to try and win him over were directly rejected.

"normal."

Bai Zeshan put down his teacup, his expression serious. "If it were that easy to win over the top member of Xinyuan, all the major alliances and families would have been fighting tooth and nail for him long ago."

Who would still go all out to cultivate a genius? There's no need to rush to win them over while the province is awarding them this time.

"Just make him have a good impression of our Tokyo Duel Team."

"Yes, yes, that's what I think too." Tang Zesheng nodded repeatedly, then chuckled twice as if he remembered something.

Bai Zeshan saw through his thoughts at a glance and said in a deep voice, "There's one more thing I must remind you of."

Among the scions of these families in Tokyo, each one is proud and arrogant, and surely some of them want to challenge You Ming.

You need to stop them from causing trouble.

If things escalate, not only will we be unable to explain ourselves to Kim Sen-tsang, but we'll also become a laughingstock in the eyes of the other alliances.

Tang Zesheng felt uneasy, but he still insisted, "Young people like us, it's normal to spar."

As the saying goes, "No fight, no friendship," maybe a friendly sparring match will turn them into good friends.

He had actually anticipated that someone would cause trouble for You Ming, and even secretly gave Fei Niao You Ming's address.

Deep down, he secretly hoped that these Tokyo talents would dampen You Ming's arrogance.

Bai Zeshan saw through his little scheme at a glance, snorted coldly, and said in a more serious tone: "Friends? If things really escalate, will you take responsibility?"

Especially Ryoji Asuka from the Asuka family, don't take him lightly.

That kid recently mastered the fourth-tier Xyz Monster, the Holy Dragon, and his strength skyrocketed. He even dared to fight to the death against duelists who could communicate with fifth-tier spirits.

"If he carelessly injures You Ming, Jin Sencang will fight you to the death!"

"No way?"

Tang Zesheng's heart sank suddenly, and the last bit of hope in his heart vanished instantly.

He always felt that You Ming only got first place in Heart Garden because of the ancient mechanical Chaos Giant, and that his actual test results were just weak.

Ryoji Asuka is a genuine Dragon-type Pokémon genius who can communicate with fourth-tier Xyz Monsters.

In a fair one-on-one duel, You Ming would definitely be no match.

If Ryoji Asuka really seriously injures Yu Ming, then things will escalate completely.

He simply couldn't explain it to Jin Sencang!

Just as they were worrying, a deafening "rumble" suddenly came to their ears.

The entire corn-shaped building trembled slightly, and most of the tea in the cup spilled out.

"What happened?"

Bai Zeshan suddenly stood up and looked at the corn building manager standing to the side.

His face was so dark it could drip water. "Is there renovation going on in your building?"
