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

My sister's voice remained gentle, filled with patient guidance.

"I can't really explain it, it's just that the pen in my hand feels like it has thorns on it, and I can't control it!"

I know the monster designs by heart, and I usually have no problem drawing them.

"But as soon as I try to inject my senses, the pen tip shakes, and the drawing can't draw any spirit power at all, resulting in wasted cards every time..."

These words struck You Ming like a thunderbolt, and he instantly sat up straight, his ears perked up like radar!

They even held their breath, afraid of missing a single word.

This little girl's problem is exactly the same as the predicament he's been facing these past few days with making cards!

He's been struggling with the perception injection step when he's trying to create Xyz Monster Cards these days.

The drawing skills are fine, but once perception is involved, all the steps become a mess.

"Silly girl, how hard is it to get a one-star monster card? You're just too impatient."

The older sister chuckled softly, slowly revealing the key point, her fingertips seemingly brushing against the blank card beside her, "Many teachers have taught it wrong."

We never use perception to control the proportions of materials, but rather use perception to guide the fit between materials.

Perception is like a fuse, only responsible for connecting the dots and building bridges.

True integration and transformation rely on the inherent properties of the materials themselves.

"Yan'er, didn't you control your senses too tightly before, forcing the materials to conform to your ideas?"

"Inducement... is not control..."

You Ming kept repeating these two words to himself, and a flash of light suddenly appeared in his mind.

All doubts and confusions suddenly became clear at this moment!

He slapped his thigh hard, startling the insects in the grass into scattering. He was so excited he could hardly contain himself.

No wonder he was so successful at making magic and trap cards, but kept hitting roadblocks when making monster cards. It turns out his thinking was fundamentally wrong!

Magic Trap Cards have a simple structure, and Hard Control with Sense can still be somewhat effective.

The monster cards have intricate patterns inside, with veins of spirit power crisscrossing them.

Forcibly suppressing it with perception will only cause the material to resist; how could that possibly succeed?

He couldn't wait to get up and verify, but when he looked up, the two sisters had already disappeared.

Looking down at the grass clippings on the ground, he was surprised to realize that he had been sitting in the grass for more than an hour, engrossed in listening to the teaching.

An urgency burned within him like wildfire, and he rushed toward the hotel.

While running, he couldn't help but curse inwardly: "If only I could summon a flying spirit, like Kurosaki Hayabusa."

One RR monster is enough to get back, why bother running yourself ragged like this!

You Ming practically slammed open the hotel room door, making a loud bang on the doorframe, but he was completely unaware.

He slammed his head down to the desk and, without even catching his breath, began searching for materials to make one-star Xyz Monster cards.

His fingertips traced the cool black crystal, his eyes filled with certainty.

There was only one thought in my mind: This time, I will definitely succeed!

Taking three deep breaths to suppress his surging emotions, You Ming forced himself to calm down.

He first took out a fragment of black crystal, smashed it into powder, and then carefully ground it into powder with a hammer.

Slowly simmer over low heat until it melts into a paste, then precisely mix in auxiliary materials such as stardust sand and fairy ink.

I made a blank white card in one go and placed it on the table.

He pinched the specially made card-making pen in his right hand, with the tip hovering above the card base.

The fine, hair-like sensation carefully enveloped the tip of the pen, and without the slightest hesitation, the pen was put to paper!

This time, he completely abandoned the previous practice of "drawing the pattern first and then annotating the perception".

I lock my perception firmly into the tip of my pen with every stroke.

With each dip of paint, he would slowly infuse it with his constant mental energy, gently guiding the paint and cardi to merge without controlling or suppressing it.

The pen tip moved smoothly across the cardioid, without any of the previous stiffness or soreness.

The monster's outline, patterns, and the veins of its spirit power gradually took shape, guided by my senses.

The entire drawing process was smooth and exhilarating.

A moment later, You Ming put down his pen.

I proudly placed the finished card in front of me, gently stroking the surface with my fingertips, my sense of accomplishment almost overflowing.

It turns out this layer of paper is so thin; once you break through it, it's a whole new world!

He immediately inserted the card into the duel disk, and instantly a fist-sized white ball of light appeared out of thin air, its soft glow spreading throughout the room.

The light gradually coalesced, transforming into the shape of a small tiger the size of a palm.

Her big, watery eyes looked timidly at You Ming, her appearance charming and adorable.

This was the Xyz Monster he had repeatedly practiced creating—[Baby Tiger Dragon]

You Ming clenched his fists in excitement, his fingertips trembling slightly.

So many days and nights of practice have exhausted 80% of his resources.

Countless discarded cards were piled up in the corner, but now it's finally a success!

With the challenge of creating Xyz Monster Cards overcome, he finally relaxed completely, and a wave of exhaustion washed over him.

He hadn't slept well last night because of Ryoji Asuka, but today's sudden breakthrough felt like a reward from heaven, and weariness instantly overwhelmed him.

He slept for two whole days and two nights, and was finally woken up by his rumbling stomach.

After hastily rummaging through a bunch of snacks to fill his stomach, You Ming habitually sat down at his desk, but suddenly became lost in thought.

He has overcome the biggest hurdle in his heart, and now it's time to try second-tier, third-tier, or even higher-tier Xyz Monster cards.

But he knew in his heart that printing and refining gold was a slow and meticulous process that required years of refinement.

He has already burned through too many resources; if he continues to squander them, his entire fortune will be depleted sooner or later.

This industry is truly wasteful; no wonder in the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series, the companies that print cards are all large corporations.

Companies like "International Fantasy Society", "Kaiba Group", and "LDS" are mentioned.

"Forget it, let's talk about it after we join the Ash Alliance."

You Ming curled his lip, secretly calculating in his mind, "The alliance has plenty of resources, might as well use them; it would be a shame not to take advantage of them!"

What You Ming didn't know was that during the two days he was engrossed in making cards and soundly asleep...

A message spread like wildfire through the upper echelons of Tokyo's dueling world, growing increasingly outrageous with each passing whim:

"The second son of the Asuka twins, Asuka Ryoji, challenged Yu Ming, the number one in Kokoro, but suffered a crushing defeat."

"It is said that Yu Ming was ruthless and was about to kill him on the spot. The head of the Asuka family personally rushed over and knelt down to beg for mercy, which barely saved Asuka Ryoji's life."

"..."

At the Kurosaki family villa, Kurosaki Karen, wearing bunny pajamas, was snuggled in bed when she was awakened by the vibration of her phone.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and picked up her phone. In the exclusive group for young duelists in Tokyo, the message count had already reached 999+.

"Holy crap? Ryoji really lost? No way! Ryoji's Dragon deck was so strong! Yuming is just a weakling who relies on deck advantage, how could he possibly win?"

"I don't believe it. It must be You Ming who did something underhanded, ambushing Brother Liang Si!"

"Stop guessing, I've lost."

A message from Ryoji Asuka instantly silenced the doubts in the group.

Karin Kurosaki gripped her phone tightly in her bare hand, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
