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

All eyes turned to Jin Sencang, and they looked him up and down.

But a moment later, they all looked away and shook their heads.

They all shared the same thought: Impossible, that old man doesn't deserve it.

Jin Sencang felt uncomfortable under the gazes of this group of people and cursed inwardly: Damn it, could the contempt in your eyes be any more obvious, you old bastards?

Do you really think I didn't see it?

The Grand Elder's expression remained unchanged, showing no anger at being rejected. He simply pressed on in a deep voice, "Who is it?"

You Ming raised his eyes, his gaze resolute, and uttered only two words: "Suzuki Ao".

Upon hearing these two words, the elders present were all stunned, and then a figure flashed through their minds.

That was a back view that was forever straight and unyielding, noble and proud.

He was a legend in the Xyz Dimension back in the day, with an arrogant and fierce fighting style and unfathomable strength.

Now he is a top mentor in the Ash Alliance.

If it's him, then everything makes sense.

When that guy was young, he was even more arrogant and conceited than You Ming, and he also had more to offer.

The Third Elder stroked his goatee, the doubt in his eyes fading slightly: "Suzuki Ao is just your mentor in the Ash Alliance, isn't she? Not a true master-disciple relationship."

You Ming remained composed, raising his eyes to meet the Third Elder's gaze: "Do you know how many resources are available to the S-level members of the Ash Alliance?"

The Third Elder nodded slightly, his tone resolute: "I am an honorary guest of the Ash Alliance, so I am naturally aware of this."

The S-level benefits include 1000 credits per month and 1500 exclusive resource points per semester, which is the highest level of benefits in the alliance.

"My treatment is twice as good as theirs."

Upon hearing this, the Third Elder's eyes flashed with understanding, and he immediately stopped asking questions.

He was so shrewd that he naturally understood the intricacies of the matter.

The fact that he was able to secure resources for Yu Ming that were twice as high as those for an S-level student indicates that their relationship was far from ordinary.

This bond has long surpassed that of a master and disciple.

The Grand Elder remained silent for a moment, then looked at You Ming's determined gaze and slowly nodded.

His tone carried a hint of regret: "Work hard."

After saying that, he stopped talking about taking on disciples and turned to walk towards the blue virtual portal.

But deep down, he was filled with doubt: How did Suzuki Ao manage to do that?

It's amazing that those old fogies in the Ash Alliance, who value resources above all else, agreed to offer such generous treatment.

Seeing the Grand Elder and the group of leaders gradually walk away, You Ming patted Fei Niao Xin, who was still standing there in a daze.

He smiled and said, "Stop daydreaming, the awards ceremony is about to start, go back and sit down."

Asuka Shin snapped out of his daze and looked at Yu Ming, his gaze complex, uttering only three words: "Too strong."

These three words represent heartfelt admiration and self-motivation.

Just after You Ming and Kurosaki Ruri and their group left with the award presentation team, the door to the Tokyo Duel Bureau's tower office was still not closed.

A staggering figure crashed through the wooden door of the corridor and fell heavily onto the polished floor.

The purplish-black combat suit was torn to shreds and stained with dark red blood.

His left arm hung down unnaturally, and several fragments of the fused monster's bone spikes were embedded in his shoulder.

The newcomer was none other than Kurosaki Hayato, the older brother of Kurosaki Ruri, who is currently ranked 51st on the Fighting King Ranking.

He struggled to prop himself up on the blood-stained duel disk, his once sharp, eagle-like eyes now bloodshot.

Despite his weakened state, he gritted his teeth and hoarsely shouted towards the office, "The...academy...has completely invaded!"

The three elders in the office turned around abruptly upon hearing the sound.

His expression, which had been gentle and sentimental just moments before, froze instantly, and the air pressure around him plummeted to freezing point.

The elder stepped forward first and supported Kurosaki Hayabusa.

The Second Elder quickly took out a healing magic card.

The Third Elder then used a field magic card to create a barrier, locking all the commotion inside.

"Hanger, Falcon!"

The Second Elder tore open Kurosaki Hayabusa's battle uniform from his shoulder and cleaned his wounds with swift and decisive movements.

But he couldn't hide the urgency in his voice, "Explain clearly: where are the academy's people? How many are they? What is their objective?"

A metallic taste rose in Kurosaki Hayabusa's throat, which he forced down.

He gripped the elder's wrist tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.

"Near the ruins of Xyz Dimension No. 41... the newcomers are the Obelisk Legion, number unknown..."

He paused, coughing up blood as he added, "The person leading the team is a man with orange hair, and they've already headed towards the city center..."

Upon hearing this, the elders present were all taken aback.

The public announcement was made to conduct closed-door practice for the next professional competition.

But these people knew that the reason he hadn't shown up for so long was simply to collect all the No cards for Xyz Dimension.

There are many such duelists in the Xyz Dimension, such as Kaito Amagi, III, IV, etc.

The reason why the entire Heart Garden dared to do this was because You Ming's performance in the Professional Tower was too good recently.

Only after removing all the obstacles to dimensional fusion in one fell swoop did they dare to send out their many elite duelists.

The Third Elder paused abruptly, stroking his goatee, a serious look flashing in his eyes: "Based on their past practices, they wouldn't attack the suburbs and city without a stronghold."

It seems they intend to launch a full-scale attack now, but it's unclear whether they have other motives.

"The suburban boundary node is just a facade."

The Grand Elder said in a deep voice, and immediately took out a large map of the entire Hyperdimension.

Fingertips glide across the table, leaving red dots on key locations such as the Heart Garden, Tokyo Duel, and Ash Alliance:

"The academy is practically blind right now; even if we send out the Obelisk Legion, it won't be a pure offensive."

Doing this without an intelligence network is particularly unwise.

They were either trying to use a diversionary tactic to seize the No cards scattered throughout the ruins.

Either they're after the genius duelists from within this dimension.

After all, young people who can master powerful decks are the foundation of Xyz Dimension's future.

The Second Elder frowned, inserted the Healing Card into the Duel Disk, and summoned a grandmother with a Healing Orb to heal Kurosaki Hayabusa.

His tone was somber: "But what is their real target? Most of the duelists on the Fighting King Ranking have been sent out, and there is simply not enough fighting power inside Tokyo."

"Our forces are limited; if we divide our troops to defend, they will only defeat us one by one."

A brief silence fell over the office, broken only by Kurosaki Hayabusa's suppressed cough.

The Grand Elder stared at the distribution map on the table, his face so gloomy that it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Suddenly, he saw a message on the map that all the top 100 vocational exam schools in Tokyo had gathered today.

An idea suddenly popped into my head!

"Their targets are nothing more than two types—powerful Xyz cards, or people who can control those cards."

The elder slammed his hand heavily on the table, his voice steady, "Since we can't figure it out, let's lure the snake out of its hole."

A glint flashed in the Third Elder's eyes: "Does the First Elder mean to use bait to lure out their main force?"
