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

"I'm not going! Let me go! You'll make me miss my exam tomorrow, can you take responsibility for that?"

Xue Lian Shuang struggled frantically, but the leader turned to look at her.

The cold gaze made Xue Lian Shuang instinctively shut her mouth.

His chilling voice instilled fear in Xue Lian Shuang: "The professional exam is also on hold. Take him away!"

Akabane Teru finally understood the meaning of those words.

Xue Lian Shuang's professional qualification has been revoked!

What followed was a sense of absurdity: what could a little girl have done wrong? The only incident was with You Ming in the evening…

Akabane Teru was shocked, then muttered to himself in disbelief, "It can't be him, absolutely not."

On one side, Youming is having a friendly and cheerful duel with Liuli.

[Yu Ming, LP2500]

【Ruri Kurosaki, LP1600】

【Lyrical Robin - Jade Swallow, LV1】×3

[Lyrical Robin - Beryl Canary, LV1] ×2

You Ming looked at his empty field and was surprised by Liu Li's progress.

"I never imagined that in just twenty days, they could beat my deck to this extent."

Stack three Level 1 Jade Swallows and two Level 1 Beryl Canarys on top of each other!

With a wave of her arm, Liuli sent five monsters into five beams of light of different colors, which swirled in the sky before merging into the ground.

"Birds with magnificent wings, gather on the battlefield, spread your wings and shine, and gracefully arrive! Class 1—"

—Lyrical Robin—Gathering Nightingales!

A humanoid bird with white wings flew out of the vortex, with five golden spots of light hovering around it.

[Lyrical Robin - Gathering Nightingales, ATK0]

"Gather Nightingales' effect: This card's ATK increases by 100 for each material it contains (Anime version)."

[Lyrical Robin - Gathering Nightingales, ATK0→500]

"Next, activate the effect of 'Beryl Canary' which was used as an Xyz Material. After being used as an Xyz Material, the Xyz Monster's ATK increases by 200."

There are two Beryl Canaries, so their attack power increases by 400.

[Gathering Nightingales, ATK500→900]

"Battle! Attack directly with 'Gathering Nightingales'!"

The white bird-like creature flew from high above towards You Ming, flapping its wings as if to strike his body directly.

"Activate the Trap Card - 'Double Dragons'!"

Yu Ming opened his back row: "When an Xyz Monster declares a direct attack, you can activate this ability to Special Summon one LIGHT Dragon-Type Xyz Monster from your Extra Deck."

His deck was automatically shuffled: "Come to my side, 'Extreme Dragon - Candle Dragon'!"

The giant dragons shrouded in white light appeared on the field through the abilities of trap cards, radiating dazzling light.

【Extreme Conqueror Dragon - Candle Dragon, ATK3000】

"Based on the effect of 'Double Dragons Descent,' the target of that direct attack is transferred to the Special Summoned monster, and its ATK becomes the same as the opponent's."

【Extreme Conqueror Dragon - Candle Dragon, ATK3000→900】

The two monsters clashed in mid-air, one flapping its wings and the other spewing flames, locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

"The effect of 'Gathering Nightingale' activates! Remove 1 Xyz Material, and this turn, 'Lyrical Robin' monsters on your field cannot be destroyed by battle!"

The white birdman ultimately gained the upper hand, the white dragon's flames were broken, and it entered the graveyard.

"Due to the loss of one Xyz Material, 'Gathering Nightingale's' Attack Power is reduced by 100."

[Gathering Nightingales, ATK900→800]

"If the ultimate dragon, Candle Dragon, is destroyed by battle, Special Summon a 'Dragon' monster from the banished zone to revive 'Flame Dragon - Blast Dragon'!"

【Flame Dragon - Blast Dragon, ATK2800】

"It's not over yet! 'Gathering Nightingales' can perform three more attacks to generate Xyz Materials!"

The birdman's tornadoes struck You Ming's body repeatedly, severely damaging his health.

[Yu Ming, LP2500→100]

"That concludes my round."

"During your End Phase, return this card to your hand due to the effect of 'Flame Dragon - Burst Dragon'."

After recalling the monster, You Ming couldn't help but say to Liuli, "Not bad, you've improved a lot."

Liuli didn't speak, but simply nodded as usual in response.

"Now it's my turn, draw a card!"

Upon seeing the card he had drawn, he smiled slightly: "Activate the effect of the previously recycled 'Flame Dragon - Explosive Dragon' to send this card and the Dragon-Type monster to the Graveyard, destroying 'Gathering Nightingale'!"

"What?"

The earthquake caused by the crystal pupils disrupted the Nightingale's resistance, rendering the effect destructive.

They could only watch helplessly as they were burned by the flames.

"Next, banish 'Flame Dragon' and 'Extreme Dragon - Candle Dragon' from the Graveyard, and Special Summon 'Rock Dragon - Rust Dragon' from the Graveyard!"

【Iwasei Ryu - Rusty Dragon, ATK1600】

"That's it! Go, Rusty Dragon, attack directly!"

Under the attack of the Earth Dragon, Liuli was blasted away without any resistance.

However, no current was applied, so no one was injured.

[Ruri Kurosaki, LP1600→0]

"Phew, the duel is over, I won!" You Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah, we lost!"

Ruri Kurosaki gave a slightly arrogant and coquettish laugh: "I thought we were sure to win this time."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to his dormitory.

Whether it was a misperception or not, You Ming felt that Liuli was no longer as aloof as she had been at the beginning.

Instead, it even took on a slightly coquettish charm.

"Never mind, it has nothing to do with me anyway," You Ming murmured to himself as he returned to his dormitory clean and tidy.

As soon as he arrived at the door, You Ming seemed to hear three people inside talking about professional exams.

He became somewhat interested, pushed open the door, and as soon as he entered the room, the sound vanished instantly, plunging the room into deathly silence.

Seeing Ye Lingxuan and his two companions chatting while holding sunflower seeds, You Ming raised an eyebrow and smiled, "What are you talking about? You guys continue!"

"No, thank you." Ye Lingxuan forced a smile. "We're a little sleepy, very sleepy."

When You Ming looked over, Ye Lingxuan shuddered and quickly shook his head: "Not sleepy, not sleepy."

"You didn't sit on the bed. What were you talking about? Keep going, I want to hear it too."

Having received instructions, Ye Lingxuan continued, "According to information from my brother-in-law's second cousin's nephew, our professional exam this time is somewhat dangerous."

You Ming picked up the pillow, his smile dangerous: "Try saying that again? Believe me, I'll make you dangerous right now!"

Which professional exam in previous years wasn't risky?

He was just watching the news when he got hit by a car on his way back from failing his exam.

In Duel Heroes, you'll be dueling with AI, and these AIs won't hold back or reduce damage!

"Just kidding, just kidding."

Ye Lingxuan became serious. "Based on the intelligence I've gathered, there are approximately 1000 dueling AIs set up inside the Duel Tower this time."

There are only 2000 candidates in our Xinyuan school, and with those who backed out today, the number is probably around 1500.

We have 1500 teams vying for these 1000 duel AIs; the more we fight, the higher our score.

Another student on the bunk said, "The ratio is 2:1, which is not bad."

These AIs are fearless of death; it's actually very difficult to defeat them solo. They all require a team, and there are quite a few of them.

You Ming nodded. "If we can solve about half of the 1000 AIs, we can take first place."

He didn't believe it; who could clean it faster than him?
