You can become a duel king even with pre-made cards

It was still the familiar hot pot restaurant, but this time, Youying and his friends sat in the largest private room in the entire hot pot restaurant.

The red man sitting at the main seat waved his hand and said to Youying and the other five, "Eat whatever you want, order whatever you want! As long as it's not wasted, it's fine - at worst, just pack it up! The school will reimburse today's expenses!"

Youying put down the coconut milk in his hand and said happily: "Thank you, President Chihong~!"

"You're still calling me President Chihong!" Alai knocked Youying on the head, "It's time to change your words!"

"Then... Master?!" Youying asked tentatively. At the same time, he handed the tea that Alai handed to him to Chihong with both hands and said.

"Yes." Chi Hong took the tea handed over by You Ying and drank it all in one gulp: "In this way, you will be my eldest disciple - by the way, do you guys want to become my disciples?"

The other four looked at each other, handed over the drinks in their hands with both hands and said, "Master, please accept your disciples' greetings!"

That's right, since they participated in this competition, they were destined to be connected with Chi Hong. So it didn't matter whether they became his disciples or not. In addition, with Chi Hong's outstanding achievements, they were of course more willing to become his disciples so as to learn more.

You Ying smiled, then picked up the shrimp paste from the hot pot and put it in his own bowl. Seeing this, the others also picked up their bowls and chopsticks and started eating.

Halfway through the meal, Chihong received a call, and then took Alai away with him. As soon as they left, Youying and the other five completely let go of their last burden and hugged each other.

"We succeeded, Youying!" Luo Yin hugged Youying and said excitedly, "I never thought that we could defeat the duelist from Yanjing!"

"What's the big deal?" Youying laughed heartily and said casually, "I never thought that you were worse than the duelists in Yanjing!"

Otto is competing with You Yang, because one is a Coca-Cola fan and the other is a Pepsi fan.

But compared to the revelry at Youying's place, Li Jianliang's place seemed to be filled with sorrow. Especially since just now, the laughter coming from the private room next to them was in line with Mr. Lu Xun's famous saying.

I don't share the same joys and sorrows with other people. I just think they are noisy.

At this moment, Li Jianliang understood the meaning of this sentence. Not only him, but everyone except Ao Yan who won the duel lowered their heads, even Lin Mei was no exception. After all, she did hurt other people.

"Don't be so dejected!" The team leader noticed that the atmosphere among the group was a little tense, and couldn't help but say, "Look, although we did lose, at least it was 2 to 3. The other side won by a narrow margin! What's more, everyone on the other side is safe, isn't that the most important thing?"

After hearing the teacher's half-comforting words, the other students' expressions also improved a lot. Although she was telling the truth, her slightly clumsy side made her very popular among the students.

"Teacher is right." Li Jianliang stood up again: "It is unrealistic for us to feel sorry for ourselves! Now the only way is to continue to hone ourselves and improve ourselves! And don't forget! This meal is paid for by Sichuan-Yu Duel Academy - after rounding it off, it is equivalent to feeding Youying and the others! Don't we have to eat more to make up for the cost?!"

Wu Di and the others also laughed. Then the atmosphere gradually became lively, and even Lin Mei, who had been feeling guilty, gradually became cheerful.

Afterwards, when both parties had eaten and drunk their fill, they walked out of the room together. Then, as if by fate, they met again just as they were leaving the door.

"What a coincidence~!" Not only did Youying have a toothpick in his mouth, he also held a take-away box in his hand.

Li Jianliang raised his eyebrows. "It's indeed quite a coincidence. But why are you holding a celebration banquet here? Your leadership is a little too rude."

"It is said that the owner of this store is a relative of our school principal." You Ying shrugged and gave Li Jianliang a 'you know' look.

Li Jianliang covered his face. He was from Yanjing, how could he not understand? But it was precisely because he understood that he seemed extremely speechless.

At the same time, the rest of the people walked out of the private room one after another. When they saw the people opposite them, the air froze for a moment.

"Um... Brother Youyang." It was little sister Lin Mei who broke the deadlock. She handed a slightly abstract paper crane to Youyang and said, "I'm sorry, um... Brother Youyang, you were hurt because of me."

You Yang took the paper crane, then touched Lin Mei's hair and said, "It's okay. I, your brother You Yang, have thick skin and flesh. These are just superficial injuries. There's no problem at all!"

At this point, the tense atmosphere finally eased.

Otto walked up to Oyan and punched him in the chest with his fist: "Little brother, you fought really well in the previous duel!"

"You... do you understand what we are..."

Otto: "I know, I know. But I have lost the duel now. According to the family rules, you are now the direct descendant. And I am just a pitiful, weak and helpless collateral descendant."

"Besides, I now have a new choice." Otto felt the strength brought to him by Hope and smiled confidently: "In short, you will be the leader from now on, so keep going."

Ao Yan suddenly had the illusion that this guy had deliberately lost to him.

On the other hand, the communication between Wu Di and Wu Xingxie was much more friendly.

"Do you want to continue studying here?" Wu Di asked, pushing his glasses.

Wu Xingxie touched his arm with his hand, then nodded: "I still have a lot to learn here. And... Xingchen said she likes it here very much."

"That's what the master said." Wu Di pondered for a moment and then said, "I understand. I will explain it to the master of the family."

After seeing that the other members were able to communicate well, You Ying and Li Jianliang breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time.

Then they both looked at each other and smiled.

"I lost this time." Li Jianliang raised his right hand and said to Youying, "But I will never lose again next time!"

You Ying also stretched out his right hand and held Li Jianliang's hand together: "Okay. I'll wait for you. When you have time to come to Rongcheng again, I will personally entertain you."

"It's a deal?"

"A word is settled!"

Chapter 60: Real Duel

"Today, I will teach you what a real duel is."

On Monday afternoon, in the Student Union Office, Chi Hong was drinking tea while talking to the five people sitting quietly on the sofa.

"Ask a question!" Youying raised his hand: "What is a real duel? Are all the duels we experienced before fake?"

"Of course not." Chihong couldn't help rolling his eyes. "Your duel was just like playing Metal Gear Solid with a chicken hat on - it was a completely easy mode on an easy mode. All the time points were turned on, and you were given enough time to think. But a real duel doesn't have that much free time."

As he said this, Chi Hong waved his hand, and the shadow of the Resentful Evil Emperor appeared behind him. At the same time, Alai, who was standing beside him, also summoned his light car. Of course, the size of both was no more than a brick.

Chihong snapped his fingers, and then the Resentful Emperor punched the light car away with lightning speed, and at the same time forced Alai to retreat half a step.

"What the hell is this!?" Youying's eyes widened. "Why is the attack of the Wrathful Emperor so fast? And I saw that Senior Alai clearly had an [Aleister] card in his hand, so why didn't he activate its effect?"

"This is what we are talking about, a real duel." Looking at the shocked expressions of Youying and Youyang, Chihong explained: "I believe you, Otto, have some feelings about this."

Xing Qie nodded: "Well... during the duel, the soul power of high-level duelists will also increase the monsters accordingly. At the same time, it also makes the timing more maneuverable for the duelists."

You Yang tilted his head, looking a little confused. It seemed that he didn't understand.

"So that's how it is!" Luo Yin, an elf, understood it immediately: "It's just like seizing the right moment to [Parade] when playing the magic ring!"

"Crack~!"

Chihong snapped his fingers. "What a vivid image! As expected of Alai's cousin. He understood it immediately. That's right, in a real [Master Duel], the battles between monsters are closer to real battles. This is why we have arranged an assessment for [Practical Combat] in the midterm exam."

You Ying also reacted: "No wonder Li Jianliang said when he returned that our current duel is still in practice mode..."

"That's right. And even for professional players, it's hard to grasp every moment of the Damage Judgment process in a regular competition. So many people choose cards that can only be activated at a certain fixed time - because the guidance of the card will tell them what is the most accurate time."

Youying now understood everything. In this world, playing cards was not as polite as in his previous life. Duels were still essentially a form of violence. And the means of violence were not as elegant, leisurely, gentle, and courteous as in a simple card game.

"Of course, as my apprentices, you must accurately grasp every detail of the battle." Chi Hong took out a unique duel disk from the drawer under the coffee table and said to everyone, "And the fastest and best way to master it is to constantly train in actual combat! Now, bring out the spirit you learned from learning to parry in the magic ring! We still have a long way to go in our training!"

-------------------------------------

Before they knew it, it was November, the weather was getting colder, and the students in the academy were all wearing winter clothes. And Youying, until this time, barely mastered how to control the time in a formal duel.

"But we only learned it a year in advance." Otto, who had learned it early, complained while lying on the bed playing Genshin Impact: "But I know that Youying is just thinking too much, and always has a feeling of gain and loss. You always fail to grasp the key points. You see, when your hands are faster than your brain, you learn it in a flash."

You Ying, who was lying on the bed, was speechless: "I'm just afraid that the other side will cheat me. And it's called a real battle, but in fact it's just Teacher Chihong and Senior Alai teaching us moves in turns. When we were testing it privately, we didn't succeed even once."

"But we are indeed a big step ahead of other students, aren't we?" Luo Yin gently stroked the synchronization ring on his right hand and said, "Not only in terms of study, but also in terms of not having to queue up for exams and having high priority for exam appointments..."

"But it's just a reduction in procedures. The difficulty of the assessment itself has not been reduced - it's better to say that it has been increased invisibly." Xing Xie flipped through the competition deck records that his buddy brought him from Fuso and said, "After all, as disciples of Master Chihong, others will naturally treat us with higher standards."

Youying also nodded. Looking at the fusion pendant hanging on the head of his bed, he laughed out loud: "Come to think of it, it's a good thing I took the third summoning method test in advance, otherwise Senior Chihong would definitely poke my head and scold me for being stupid."

"After all, you are the last one we mastered." You Yanggang pushed the door open and heard You Ying complaining over there. He couldn't help but walk over and complain: "At that time, Teacher Chihong took a fancy to your talent of decisively activating card effects when judging the injury, as well as your potential in other aspects, so he accepted you as his apprentice. I didn't expect that you would be the last one to realize it."

Youying curled his lips. What else could he do? As a duelist who was used to adding a sentence "Are you okay?" to every action, it was not his fault that he could not find the right moment!

"Jingle Bell."

Otto's cell phone rang.

Otto clicked on the call page, got out of bed, and walked to the balcony. Xing Xie also closed the balcony door and windows very smoothly, and locked it in the process, locking Otto out of the door.

"Otto won't be the second single person in our dormitory, right?" Seeing Otto's intensive phone chatting these past two days, Youying asked with some concern.

"Ah? The second one!" Luo Yin scratched his head: "Then who is the first one?"

You Yang, You Ying and Xing Xie all looked at each other with an expression that said "Are you kidding me?"

Luo Yin was even more confused.

Youying sighed, then took out a 5-yuan bill from the drawer and put it in Xingxie's hand.

They opened a bet on when Luo Yin and Licia would form a couple. Youying bet on the end of October, and he lost.

"Speaking of which, Demon Slaying Day is coming soon. How are you going to spend it?" You Yang came this time with a mission: "After all, there are three days of legal holidays. Counting the dual cultivation, there are five days in total! Isn't this going to be fun?"

Youying was about to answer when his cell phone rang.

Youying took out his phone and saw that it was the 'school group' created by Chihong. He @ all the members in it and only posted one message.

[There is a mission. Ask Otto for details.]

Chapter 61: Going on a business trip for the teacher?

"I hope you can go to Changshou Lake."

It was still the office of the school's student union, and Chi Hong was still sitting on the ergonomic chair. But this time, what he had in his hands was a strange application.

"???"

Youying tilted his head, looked at himself, and said in confusion: "I... go to Changshou Lake?! And, during the five-day holiday of Demon Slaying Day?! No! I still want to play with the ring at home, Master!"

"What a coincidence - I wanted to, too." Chihong smiled happily: "Besides, I just bought a PS5 just to play Ring!"

"Then remember to play the PS4 version." Youying reminded him with a twitch of his lips. Then he immediately realized that he had gone off track and said, "Wait a minute, Master, why do I have to go to Changshou Lake during the holiday?!"

"Because of the Demon Slaying Day Ceremony." Chi Hong spread his hands and said, "As my chief disciple, you can often represent my will and participate in various activities."

"So why me?! What about the others? At least drag You Yang and the others into this!"

"They have their own missions." Chi Hong looked at You Ying expressionlessly, "Luo Yin and Ecclesia went to the Iron Beast Front to participate in the Demon Slaying Day consolation activities. Don't ask about the specific place, that thing is top secret."

Youying's eyes narrowed: "I see, he went to follow the plot or visit relatives."

"I asked Xing Xie to take the D-wheel driver's license test. Also, there is also a Demon Slayer Day celebration at school. By the way, You Yang also went with him. After all, he plans to learn synchronization, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to learn the D-wheel at the same time."

"Then Otto..."

"Otto was taken for special training by Ryoga Kamishiro." Akahiro narrowed his eyes, looked at Youying, and then continued: "By the way, Ryoga Kamishiro is the teacher I found for Otto in the field of XT."

'You let Balian teach astral hyperdose?'

Youying suddenly had a feeling that the person in front of him might not be playing himself.

Youying: "Anyway, I have to go to this festival, right?"

Chi Hong nodded. "The activity fund is 5 yuan, and there are staff there to support you. You just need to have a show-like duel. After all, in essence, this is just a traditional performance of Demon Slaying Day."

"That's fine." Youying recalled the performances of the previous Demon Slayer Days. He nodded and said, "But what about you, Master?"

Chi Hong sighed, took out a plane ticket and said, "Yanjing, meeting."

Youying felt balanced all of a sudden.

-------------------------------------

On the shore of Changshou Lake, a huge water duel arena is being built in full swing. A supervisor wearing a white hat is urging a supervisor wearing a red hat: "There are still three days until the Demon Slaying Day celebration. But the water terrace still has 3% of the finishing work to be done. Engineer Liu, can't you, the construction company, hurry up?"

"Engineer Yang, there's really no way to speed this up." Engineer Liu said to Engineer Yang with a bitter face, and at the same time he stuffed a stick of Chaotianmen in his hand into the other party: "This is not a house construction, we don't have to follow the template drawings. You can't use a spreading machine for plastering, you have to adjust the sky pump, and all the materials have to be high-proof. In addition, it takes a long time to wash the car, and you can't pollute the water source. Isn't it time-consuming and laborious to go back and forth? But it will be done soon. After all, the hardcover is almost done, and all that's left is to install the latest duel projector and the retractable awning, and then it will be completely completed."

"Okay. I'll come and take two photos of you standing by tonight." Engineer Yang nodded. "By the way, who was that kid who came to the construction site this morning? He even asked me for a safety helmet!"

Engineer Liu raised his eyebrows and said, "Engineer Yang, don't you know that he is Master Chihong's founding disciple? This time, he came to participate in the celebration in the name of Master Chihong."

"So that's how it is!" Engineer Yang seemed to have suddenly realized something. "In other words... the project payment from Party A is about to be paid? Congratulations, Engineer Liu."

"Happy together."

In fact... At this moment, You Ying looked at the pickled fish in front of him and didn't know where to start. After all, he just got off the bus and habitually ran to a small restaurant to eat authentic pig intestine rice.

It really can’t be stuffed in!
