This Hextech Duel Master is a pro at getting targets.

After crossing a dense forest, he found his companions.

The leader was a scruffy man in his thirties with blond hair wrapped in a colorful headscarf and wearing black sunglasses.

"Uncle Keith."

"That guy You Shuo not only got the star, but he also won three top-tier rare cards!"

The tall, shifty-eyed fellow excitedly reported.

The blond man called "Keith" gave a sinister smile, his face full of malice.

Hehe~

That's perfect!

"Let's make this guy our target!"

The speaker was Keith Howard, a once-famous top professional gamer in the Western Conference.

Because winning the prize money was as easy as taking candy from a baby, he was nicknamed "The Thief" by his fans.

Keith the thief had a glorious period in the Western Conference, but after one game, he completely fell into depravity.

At that time, he had just won the championship and was preparing to challenge Pegasus, the father of Duel Monsters.

Pegasus did not fight personally, but instead found a little boy and wrote him a note.

After that, the child easily defeated the thief Keith by simply following the instructions on the note.

This incident greatly frustrated the thief Keith.

From then on, he degenerated into an underground fighter, frequenting underground venues, and the title of thief, which was originally full of honor, completely became its literal meaning.

In the distance, You Shuo walked down from the dueling platform.

The thief Keith's sunglasses gleamed coldly.

"Champion hunter, huh..."

"I'd like to see if they can still hold onto this title when facing me, the champion of the entire Western Conference!"

Hehehehe~

Chapter 47 The Blonde Beauty Dealer

According to the Duel Kingdom tournament rules, participants who lose all their Star Chips will be expelled from the island.

With a look of resentment and pain, the dinosaur Ryuzaki was led to the dock by two burly men in black. As he left dejectedly, a beautiful, tall blonde woman witnessed the scene with some surprise.

"Hey?"

"Was the national runner-up, Dinosaur Ryuzaki, eliminated so quickly?"

The peacock dance was somewhat unexpected.

In her opinion, the participants in this competition were generally not as strong as she had imagined.

Having just won the runner-up title in the National Duelist Tournament, Ryuzaki Dinosaur shouldn't be kicked out so early.

Just as Kong Quewu was puzzled, she saw a familiar figure not far away - You Shuo.

Recalling everything that happened in the ship's cabin last night, a smile involuntarily crept onto Kongque Wu's lips.

"He's an interesting fellow."

At this moment, she noticed that after You Shuo packed up his spoils and left, a group of sneaky people quietly followed him.

One of them looked very familiar to Kong Quewu.

"etc?!"

"Could that person be the infamous thief Keith?!"

Peacock Dance has some knowledge of this once world-renowned but now fallen Western Region champion.

She suspected that this guy was planning something very detrimental to You Shuo...

With her delicate eyebrows arched, the peacock danced and caught up with the peacock.

"I owe You Shuo a favor."

"We can't just sit idly by and do nothing about this."

After defeating the dinosaur Ryuzaki, You Shuo not only gained four star chips, but also two rare cards and a card spirit.

However, for some unknown reason, perhaps because it had just experienced a defeat, the Red-Eyes Black Dragon was resting in the card and remained unmoved by the calls of Yu Shuo and the Treant.

“No rush~” You Shuo smiled, “Collecting all the star chips first is the important thing, and it would be best to enter the castle today.”

With that thought in mind, You Shuo headed towards his next destination, hoping to encounter more opponents.

Emerging from the wilderness, we soon arrived at a region of towering mountains.

Based on his memory, You Shuo knew that this should be the home ground of the Bird and Beast Clan, the Dragon Clan, and the Thunder Clan.

"I wonder if the peacock dance will be performed here?"

You Shuo seemed to be deep in thought.

Just then, a somewhat rough, smoky voice came from behind.

"Hey, you must be Champion Hunter - You Shuo, right?"

"As a former champion, I'd really like to test your mettle!"

You Shuo turned around and took a look.

Oh?!

Isn't that Keith the thief?!

Besides him, there were four or five other underlings who had also come to the island through despicable means.

In the past, You Shuo might have been more hesitant about using force.

But now, he not only possesses two card spirits, but his spiritual world has also accumulated a lot of dark energy.

Even if each of these men in front of him was a thug capable of taking on seven or eight people in the neighborhood, You Shuo could easily deal with them without even lifting a finger.

"Okay, how much are you betting?" You Shuo asked.

Thief Keith sneered, "I heard you just won a lot of good cards from Dinosaur Ryuzaki. I'll make you bet all of them!"

You Shuo found it interesting: "So what are you betting?"

The thief Keith smirked and flashed a star-shaped chip: "Hehehe~ I'm only betting one star~"

The thief Keith spoke shamelessly, while the thugs beside him grinned wickedly.

Clearly, if You Shuo doesn't agree, they will resort to brute force.

Just then, a voice an octave higher came from behind.

"Are you kidding me!"

"This is a completely unfair bet!"

As everyone looked over, they saw an incredibly beautiful blonde woman walking aggressively towards them.

She is the peacock dancer.

The thief Keith sneered, "Oh my, isn't this the Peacock Dance? I've heard of Miss Dance's reputation."

Kong Quewu sneered, "Since that's the case, then take your men and get out of here, or I'll have the event organizers deal with you."

The thief Keith laughed loudly: "So this is your solution?! Hahahaha!"

"I've heard a lot about that there's a very popular dealer in a casino on a steamship."

"Miss Peacock Dance, do you have a habit of always asking rich people for help when you need something?"

"So now that something has happened, the first people they think of are those powerful and influential guys."

"They've completely lost their backbone and dignity!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the thief Keith burst into laughter.

The thugs also joined in the laughter.

Kong Quewu's face turned pale, and her eyes became even colder.

You Shuo overheard what the thief Keith said.

It is true that Kong Quewu was once a croupier, but she was not the kind of person who would curry favor with the powerful.

She had previously received many declarations of love from wealthy men and even top celebrities, but she completely ignored them.

The thief Keith is just spreading rumors.

The peacock dancer is far more arrogant and self-loving than this fallen champion.

“Enough,” You Shuo said. “Thief Keith, if you want to fight, then come on. No matter how much the stakes are, the result will be the same.”

"Because you can't beat me."

"But as a wager, wager all your stars."

"Otherwise, things would be much more complicated to handle."

As he spoke, You Shuo released a small amount of dark energy.

Amidst the howling winds of the high mountains, You Shuo exuded an indescribable, terrifying majesty.

Even the previously fearless thief Keith trembled upon sensing this power.

"Heh, all the stars, huh? That's fine too." Thief Keith stepped forward, cracking his knuckles, then turned to the others and said, "But since Miss Peacock Mai is so ambitious, how about a two-on-two match?"

"In this battle, you're betting those rare cards and a total of four stars."

"Similarly, we'll bet six."

Peacock Dance walked up to You Shuo's side: "Are you kidding me? You Shuo's rare card is only worth two stars?!"

The thief Keith shrugged and grinned wickedly, "We'd like to bet a hundred, but that's all we have."

"After all, these friends of mine are just here to cheer me on, not actual contestants."

"Since you're so confident, why worry about the stakes?"

After saying that, the thief Keith casually pointed to one of his underlings.

"Ghost Bone Tomb, you're with me, kid."

Oni-bone Mound was stunned: "Huh? Me, me?!"

The thief Keith grabbed him and pulled him over: "Stop dawdling, what's there to worry about when you're fighting me?!"

"However, before we begin..."

"Use these to strengthen your trash deck first."

As he spoke, the thief Keith opened his jacket, revealing over a thousand cards inserted into more than twenty pockets on the inside of the jacket.

Chapter 48 Doubles Duel! Teaming up with Mai the Peacock!

"duel!!!!!"

[Yu Shuo, LP: 2000]

[Thief Keith, LP: 2000]

[Peacock Dance, LP: 2000]

【Demon Bone Tomb, LP: 2000】

With a rumbling sound, a dueling platform for two people slowly rose up.

The doubles rules in the Duel Kingdom era were different from those in the world before You Shuo transmigrated to.

In this era, doubles matches are equivalent to four opponents battling simultaneously, each with their own area, cards, and LP resources.

In doubles, teammates can also treat each other as opponents and can freely use each other's resources.

With random assignment, You Shuo got the first move, and the rotation will then be in the order of You Shuo → Thief Keith → Peacock Dance → Ghost Bone Tomb → You Shuo.

"My turn, draw a card."
