Yu-Gi-Oh!: This is the real duel!

[Attack/Defense: 200/2000]

Through the television in the ward, You Che and the others witnessed this thrilling scene.

Is it actually a stone dragon?

You Che was surprised for a moment, but quickly understood.

In the original story, Seto Kaiba should have summoned one of the XYZ monsters at this point, but in this world, he summoned a defensive dragon-type monster.

This change may be related to the fact that they used the XYZ series first.

Given Seto Kaiba's aloof personality, he would never use the same trump card as others, especially the Yu-chan.

After resting in bed for a while, You Che's physical and mental strength had almost recovered. He got out of bed and put the Duel Disk back on.

"Hey? Youche, are you alright?" Xingzi asked with concern.

You Che smiled and said, "I'm much better now. Makino Soichiro's final attack was largely neutralized by the Dark Magician, and I'm feeling much better now."

With that, You Che waved to everyone, signaling them to go watch the game together.

Yuji and the others carefully examined Yuche and found that his complexion was not bad, so they were relieved and headed towards the venue together.

By this point in the duel, Yugi had easily won. Although the genius boy Leon encountered some setbacks, he still defeated his opponent without using the Golden Palace technique from Mount Rapids.

Stepping off the dueling platform, he desperately hoped his brother would win the duel. If Sieg Lloyd won, he wouldn't have to use that card that would destroy the entire dueling world...

Of the four matches, two have already concluded.

Besides Seto Kaiba and Sieg Lloyd, who are locked in fierce combat, there is also a pair of female duelists locked in a fierce battle—Mai Peacock and Vivian Wong.

"Go for it, Kaiba! Take down that pretentious guy!!" Jonouchi, who always considered Seto Kaiba his mortal enemy, actually started cheering him on.

But just as he was about to shout to everyone again, Kyoko poked him with her finger and pointed to another duel not far away.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Jonouchi asked, bewildered.

Kyoko said with a hint of exasperation, "You'd rather cheer for Kaiba than for Mai?"

This question really hit Jōnei's "sensitive skin" hard, and he immediately blushed and laughed awkwardly: "Hmm? Mai... she won't lose! She'll definitely beat that woman in the cheongsam!"

Kyoko frowned, then suddenly pulled Jonouchi over and shouted into the stage, "Mai!! Jonouchi just said that the woman in the cheongsam has a great figure!! Much slimmer than you!!"

"What?! I didn't say that?!" Jonouchi was like a cat that had accidentally spotted a cucumber next to him. He hurriedly tried to explain, but Honda and Otogi Ryuji next to him also started to cheer.

The two of them shouted in unison:

"Yes! I heard it! I can vouch for it!"

"Me too!! Everyone heard it clearly!!"

"Jōnei also said, 'Mai, you can't fit into a cheongsam at all!'"

He said straight black hair seems more attractive!

After a few shouts, the people inside the city froze on the spot.

The voice drifted to the dueling platform, and Vivian Wang chuckled smugly, "Hmm~ It seems I'm more popular than you~"

However, compared to the coquettish girl in front of her, Mai Kongque was as confident as a queen. With a slight smile, her beautiful golden hair fluttered in the wind: "You're wrong. Jonouchi would never say such a thing. Only a naive woman like you would believe such jokes."

"What did you say?!" Vivian Wang's eyebrows shot up.

Sure enough, just as Honda and Otogi Ryuji were about to speak again, Jonouchi shouted at the top of his lungs, "Mai! Don't listen to them! You must defeat that arrogant woman and win the title of the number one female duelist!!"

Upon hearing this, Kong Quewu smiled without saying a word, her red lips curving upwards.

Upon hearing the words "arrogant woman," Vivian Wong's face turned as red as a steamed bun with anger.

"Outrageous! How dare they give me so many nicknames!"

"You want to become the number one female duelist, huh? See if this card agrees first!!"

"Spell Card Activated - Flying Dragon Dance!!"

"Choose one monster on your field, and send up to four Dragon monsters from your Deck to the Graveyard!!"

"After that, until the end of the turn phase, the selected monster gains 300 more ATK than the number of cards sent to the Graveyard!!"

"Through this card's effect, Emperor Dragon Lady's attack power will be increased to 3700!!!"

As soon as the card was played, the entire hall was filled with swirling flames. The Eastern Dragon Girl, wielding twin swords, danced gracefully amidst the flames. One after another, giant dragons flew out of the fire, and after several roars, they transformed into divine light and poured it into the pair of weapons!

"Beep beep beep beep————————"

Emperor and Lady Dragon, Attack Power: 2500 → 3700

You Che, who was watching the game, couldn't help but laugh.

Finally... it happened.

You can stack four Dragon monsters, and then increase the attack power of the monsters on the field.

With this effect, this anime card will never be made into an OCG. Even if a physical card is released, it will forever remain on the Forbidden Card List!

Not only Youche, but others in the audience also noticed the card's power.

Yugi Muto and Rebecca, who was holding a teddy bear, came to the group. Rebecca, the All-American champion, was shocked and opened her mouth wide when she saw the "Flying Dragon Dance" painting.

"Oh?! Darling, does your grandpa have this card? I really want to buy one!" Rebecca looked at Vivian Wang with envy.

Yugi Muto shook his head and could only laugh, "Rebecca, although my grandfather's collection is larger than your grandfather's, cards of this caliber are extremely rare and hard to come by. No matter how high the price, no one would be willing to sell them."

You Che asked with interest, "Is it because its actual combat power is too strong that the person who possesses it doesn't want to make a move?"

Yugi Muto shook his head again and explained, "It's not just that. Look at the cards Vivian Wang uses; they're all related to the ancient and mysterious East. These cards are not only tools for battle, but also proof of the ancient East's past culture."

You Che was stunned when he first heard this statement.

Seeing that no one understood, Yugi Muto continued, "Several thousand years ago, there were four ancient civilizations in the world. Most of the cards we use now are based on ancient Egypt from three thousand years ago."

"However, some of the cards also come from other ancient civilizations."

“I heard my grandfather tell me that thousands of years ago in the mysterious East, there was a kind of magic that mainly used talismans, which the locals called ‘Taoist magic’.”

"That magic has many similarities with the duel cards we use now. Some can summon wind and rain, while others can summon spirits and monsters."

"After the Orichalcos incident, we can basically conclude that those monsters and spirits also came from the world of spirits."

"Those Taoist techniques and talismans have been passed down to this day, and some of them have transformed into Duel Monster Cards. Cards like Emperor Dragon Lady and Flying Dragon Dance in Vivian Wang's possession are probably not just ordinary cards; they may contain spirits and mysterious energy."

"Just as Armored Dragon is to Yuzuriha, Blue-Eyes White Dragon is to Kaiba, and Dark Magician is to me, no matter how high the price someone offers, this kind of card is useless."

"That's why I said it's something you can only hope to get your hands on; no one would easily part with such a mysterious card."

Yugi Muto's words caused everyone to fall into deep thought.

Atlantis, thousands of years old; ancient Egypt, three thousand years old... and the ancient East mentioned here...

How much history and mysterious stories are hidden in a small duel card?

I'm afraid no one in this world can fully understand it.

On the battlefield, the moment that Flying Dragon Dance was unleashed, the situation immediately reversed. Vivian Wang Xiu waved her hand, and two flying dragons shot out from the Emperor Dragon Lady's twin swords, shattering the Amazonian trump card on the Peacock Dance stage!

"Bang!"

The powerful impact swept towards Peacock Dance, but her resilient nature remained unaffected. Before her golden hair, whipped up by the wind, could even settle, she flipped her card and launched a counterattack!

Meanwhile, the duel between Seto Kaiba and Sieg Lloyd was also drawing to a close.

Driven to the brink of despair by his opponent, Sieg Lloyd gritted his teeth and played his trump card in a desperate gamble: a Continuous Magic Card – The Gift of Magic!

This card's effect is outrageous. When activated, it restores 1000 LP to the holder. During each of the player's standby phases, the player can predict the number of Spell Cards they will use that turn. For each Spell Card they predict, the player will restore 500 LP. However, at the end of the turn, if the number of cards used does not match the number predicted, the duelist will suffer 1000 effect damage for each card that is off by 1000!

Desperate to avoid losing the duel, Sieg Lloyd cowardly predicted a spell card and used it to revive the Valkyrie in his graveyard and launch a counterattack!

As the shining holy sword swung, Seto Kaiba's cards shattered, and the scales of victory tipped in Sieg Lloyd's favor.

However, facing the enemy's counterattack, Seto Kaiba, with only one card left in his hand, confidently declared, "Then it's my turn. The number of spell cards I will predict is—four!!"

These words shocked the entire audience.

How dare you predict four spell cards when you only have one card in your hand?!

If this cannot be achieved, then Seto Kaiba will be defeated outright!

At that moment, Yugi Muto opened his eyes wide and looked at Yuzuru beside him. Their eyes met at the same time.

Magic Cards...

There are definitely no four spell cards derived from Blue-Eyes White Dragon!

Seto Kaiba's courage at this moment didn't come from the card spirits, but from his unparalleled mental strength!

A few days ago, Yugi Muto and Yuzuru discussed matters related to mental power. At this moment, Seto Kaiba's performance is undoubtedly the best interpretation of mental power!

"What?!" Sieg Lloyd was shocked.

If it were anyone else, he would have thought that person was crazy, but the kingly aura that Seto Kaiba was displaying right now sent chills down his spine!

“That’s right, Zieg, next, I’m going to use those four cards to finish you off!”

As Seto Kaiba announced this, LP's popularity soared due to the magical gift of magic.

He waved his arm, revealing his last card:

"The first one—the life-severing treasure card!!"

"Replenish your hand to five cards, and after five turns, discard all cards from your hand!!"

"Next up is the second spell card—Soul Release!!"

"I banish the Chaos Emperor Dragon from the duel from the graveyard!!"

"The third card—Spell Regeneration—sends two Spell Cards from your hand to the Graveyard, and then adds one Spell Card from the Graveyard to your hand!!"

"Finally!! The fourth one!! Dimensional Fusion!!!"

"Pay 2000 LP, both players can Special Summon as many banished monsters as possible to the field!!"

"Come back, all of you, my magnificent dragons!!!"

Four spell cards unleashed a burst of intense light in succession, and finally, five dragon roars resounded throughout the arena simultaneously. In the blink of an eye, Seto Kaiba, whose field was previously empty, summoned three Blue-Eyes White Dragons, one Chaos Emperor Dragon, and one Emerald Dragon!

This breathtaking scene silenced the entire arena. Everyone stared in disbelief, including Sieg Lloyd, who was in the midst of his battle with the seahorse!
