This Hextech Duel Master is a pro at getting targets.

Several boys were looking forward to Yu Lian's performance, but Masaki Kyoko was concerned about something else.

She saw a familiar girl on the television screen – Nosaka Miho.

Although she had expected it, Masaki Kyoko still felt a little bittersweet when she actually saw it.

"Miho..."

"So you really went with You Lian..."

Chapter Twenty-Nine: A New Round of Card Draws

On the same day that he won against the insect moth, You Shuo received an invitation to the Duel Kingdom Tournament from the International Illusion Company, a company under the control of Pegasus, the father of Duel Monsters—and an exquisite gift box.

In the hotel, You Shuo and Nosaka Miho, who had just finished showering, opened the mysterious gift they had just received.

When the box was opened, the inner lining was made of luxurious silk, and several cards, two gold stars, and a fingerless glove were neatly arranged inside.

The Duel Kingdom Tournament uses a battle royale format. The two stars represent the competition chips that qualify you for the tournament, and the gloves are containers for holding these star chips.

As for those cards, there are various interpretations.

The first card features an island as its image, accompanied by a heartfelt invitation to the duelist who receives this gift box.

The island depicted in the card art is the venue for the Duel Kingdom Tournament, and the card art uses a very high-quality miniature printing technique.

Even though it's just a small section, you can clearly see the various terrains and roads on the island. If you look even closer, you can even see the names of the locations and paths.

However, with such a large amount of information condensed into this one card, it really takes a lot of effort to decipher it.

The second card depicts a ship docked at the Tongshiye Wharf.

The card's effect section contains a line of text informing duelists that if they wish to participate in the competition, they need to go to Domino Wharf at a specific time and board the ferry to the competition venue.

This card of Yu Shuo is a special commemorative edition for the champion. With this card, Yu Shuo can have a private room on the ferry.

The others had to sleep in a large communal room.

The third card is a dazzling treasure, named "Glory of the Right Hand of the King," with the text box empty.

But You Shuo knew the purpose of this card.

In the final stage of the Duel Kingdom Tournament, participants need to present this card or another card – “Glory of the King’s Left Hand”.

If you display "Glory of the Right Hand of the King" in the competition, successfully become the champion, and defeat Pegasus, the father of Duel Monsters, you can win a very substantial prize.

If the fourth card is presented—"Glory of the King's Left Hand," which has a blank card art—then after defeating Pegasus, the player will inherit Pegasus's 60% stake in the International Illusion Company and become the next Father of Duel Monsters.

However, revealing the fourth card comes at a terrible price.

That is, if you lose in the battle against Pegasus, the father of Duel Monsters, your soul will be taken away. The evil Pegasus will use the power of the Millennium Eye to seal the defeated soul in this card. At that time, the card art will be the image of the defeated soul struggling!

"Wow, these cards are so exquisite! These cards are really powerful, You Shuo?"

Nosaka Miho wrapped her arms around You Shuo's neck from behind and asked with a smile.

She still had a few water droplets on her body that hadn't been dried.

You Shuo smiled and said, "These are entry cards and cannot be used in the competition."

Miho Nosaka asked, "Oh, is that so? I heard the Duel Kingdom Tournament is next month?"

You Shuo nodded: "Yes."

Miho Nosaka said sadly, "School wasn't on holiday then, so I probably wouldn't be able to go with you..."

You Shuo chuckled and comforted him, "Oh dear, that competition is very special. Only the participants can enter the competition venue. Even if you wanted to go with me, you couldn't."

"Focus on your studies at school. Once the competition is over, it will be summer vacation."

"Once I win the prize money from the competition, we'll go out and have some fun."

Nosaka Miho gave Yu Shuo a big kiss on the cheek: "Mmm! I'll be a good girl then!"

You Shuo pulled her from behind.

The afternoon sun shone through the bed, casting an ambiguous glow, and in the sunlight, misty water droplets dripped slowly onto the glass wall of the bathroom...

In the following days, Yu Shuo and Nosaka Miho returned to Domino City.

After the incident at the national competition, You Shuo became a big star at school!

The school used to have a lot of headaches with You Shuo, who was a perennial repeat student, but now things are much better!

Who knew You Shuo possessed such formidable strength in the popular game, Duel Monsters?!

Then there's absolutely no need to worry about this student's future.

Given the current momentum of Duel Monsters, the school might even try to capitalize on Yu Shuo's popularity.

Not long after returning to school, the homeroom teacher approached You Shuo and granted him a special privilege.

From now on, if You Shuo needs to participate in a competition, he doesn't have to come to school even if he has an exam that day. The school will provide various forms of support for such valuable cultural and recreational competitions!

In this way, You Shuo is somewhat similar to Seto Kaiba, able to attend classes whenever he wants and not attend when he doesn't.

After enjoying himself for a while, You Shuo was resting in his newly rented apartment. After dinner, he sat on the sofa and started doing serious work.

Of course, it wasn't anything serious.

But for a time traveler, it's a very serious matter.

That is—open the system page.

After the first Hextech gacha pull, You Shuo accepted a reward mission: defeat the insect moth to get another chance to pull.

A while ago, You Shuo didn't rush to get it, after all, his cards were already quite good for this era.

Now that he's done with most of his work, it's time for him to start a new round of Hextech adventures.

The translucent, ice-blue screen lit up, and You Shuo eagerly pressed the draw button.

He rubbed his hands together, his eyes filled with excitement.

A few seconds later, colorful lights burst on the screen, and three options popped up!

The options this time are clearly better than the last time.

[Basic Bond: When male affinity increases, the host gains enhanced mental strength.]

[The Soul of the Cards: Each time an opponent destroys one of their own cards, the host gains increased Spirit Power.]

[Restraint: Each time the host helps a female duelist, they gain dark energy.]

[Note: Based on the host's previous selection, all Hextech rewards this time will be drawn from the 'Duel Pool'.]

Increased mental strength means you can draw more cards.

Increased spirit power means more cards can be printed!

As for dark energy...

You Shuo's gaze immediately fell on the third option.

In the upcoming Duel Kingdom Tournament, at least three duelists with dark powers will appear!

Although they are unlikely to be interested in You Shuo, in order not to become cannon fodder, You Shuo needs to make sufficient preparations.

After thinking for a long time.

You Shuo finally pressed the OK button.

Chapter 30 You Shuo VS Seto Kaiba

The towering KC building.

In the president's office on the top floor, Seto Kaiba was typing furiously on the keyboard.

But soon, his fingers stopped.

"Tsk..."

"hateful……"

Seto Kaiba gritted his teeth.

His heart was filled with the fourth Blue-Eyes White Dragon he had failed to obtain.

"Unacceptable..."

"Absolutely unacceptable!!"

"How can anyone else own the Blue-Eyes White Dragon card..."

Seto Kaiba glared angrily.

He was furious when he thought of the bet that his arrogant subordinate had so easily set.

Even though that guy had already received the most severe punishment, Seto Kaiba's anger had not subsided in the slightest.

If there really is any way to do it...

It seems the only way is to let him get that fourth Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

"President Kaiba!"

Suddenly, Seto Kaiba's personal assistant, Iso, appeared, looking somewhat flustered.

Seto Kaiba said coldly, "What is it?!"

Isono Sen reported nervously, "President Kaiba, just now, Yu Shuo challenged Insect Moth, who had just won the national duelist tournament. He won the duel very easily and won the real honor."

Seto Kaiba's eyes sharpened.

He originally didn't care about the National Duelist Tournament.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have given up participating in this year's competition just because he felt there were no opponents.

Normally, if Yu Shuo won the honor of winning the National Duelist Tournament, Seto Kaiba wouldn't care at all.

But right now, he's furious, thinking about how to win back that fourth Blue-Eyes White Dragon...

Hearing news of You Shuo's success at this moment only made him feel extremely annoyed and bothered.

"And then?" Seto Kaiba's voice was chillingly cold.

Iso continued cautiously, "Right now... there are all sorts of rumors online saying that the first National Duelist Tournament wasn't very prestigious..."

"If you, sir, had been challenged by You Shuo back then, there would have been no way you could have defeated him..."

"No, but I've already had people control public opinion!"

Seto Kaiba shouted, "No! Let those opinions fester!"

Isono was taken aback.

He could tell the president was very angry, but he didn't know why the president was so angry and still did this.

Seto Kaiba said, "Only if this kind of public opinion gets more and more heated will I have a chance to fight Yu Shuo again. Otherwise, according to the agreement last time, I cannot challenge Yu Shuo for the fourth Blue-Eyes White Dragon."

In the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!, the spirit of contract is paramount.

The unseen world consciousness is watching everything.

Anyone who disregards the spirit of contracts will ultimately meet a very tragic end.

Although Seto Kaiba is usually tough, he is not a scoundrel. Otherwise, with the power of the KC Group, he could have easily robbed them outright!

Seto Kaiba took out three cards from his pocket; they were none other than the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

He thought to himself:

“I can feel your anger…”

"The existence of that fourth Blue-Eyes White Dragon is like a thorn in my side!"

"But there's no need to rush..."

"soon,"

"Then we can vent the fire in our hearts through battle."

time flies.

On this day, You Shuo completed the Hextech gacha pull.
