This Hextech Duel Master is a pro at getting targets.

You Shuo looked at Kong Quewu with a gentle smile and handed her a card.

"Mai, let's meet outside the competition venue if we have time."

"It's an honor to see you in this competition."

"Consider this card a gift."

The tense and alert look in Kong Que Wu's eyes gradually became hazy and confused. She looked at the card that You Shuo handed her. It was a monster card from the Harpie series, but it was almost never used in the construction of a Harpie Lady deck. It was a Harpie Girl.

The harp girl and the harp lady are like two sides of the peacock dance.

The harp girl she was unwilling to use in the duel precisely reflects the gentle, vulnerable, and sensitive girlish heart she had always hidden.

The harp lady, on the other hand, embodies the sharp, confident, gorgeous, and captivating qualities that the peacock dance displays to outsiders.

When Kong Que Wu saw this picture of the eagle-bodied girl, she was deeply moved.

She accepted the card, looked up, and asked with a smile, "Thank you, You Shuo. But why did you give me this one? Is it because I'm using the Harpie Lady deck?"

At that moment, a broadcast echoed through the castle.

The battle between Katsuya Jonouchi and Yugi Muto is about to begin.

You Shuo smiled at Kong Quewu: "I'll tell you next time we meet~"

After saying that, You Shuo turned and walked towards the arena.

The peacock dance stirred my heart.

She took the harpy girl card out of the card holder, and sure enough, there was a note hidden in the gap between the card holder and the card. One side had You Shuo's contact information written on it, and the other side had a sentence written on it—

"Miss Mai, I hope you can always be as light and beautiful as the harp maiden."

"You still owe me a favor, so if you don't want to be a liar, contact me first."

"—Your duelist will be the one to defeat you: You Shuo."

Looking at the words on the note, Kongque Wu couldn't help but laugh.

She held the note in her hand and looked in the direction You Shuo had left with a smile.

Suddenly, a drop of water rolled down her face.

The peacock dance gently wiped it away.

That must be the water left over from washing my face just now.

Inside the magnificent palace, the broadcast had ended.

But it seems that at this moment, the heart of the peacock dance, which had been frozen like permafrost for so long, quietly sprouted new buds...

The second match of the semifinals – Katsuya Jonouchi vs. Yugi Muto.

The duel between Yoshihiro and Jonouchi was almost identical to what we saw in the anime.

Despite having gained considerable experience over time, Jonouchi's strength has improved significantly, but he is still far too inexperienced compared to the seasoned King.

Ultimately, Jonouchi pinned his hopes for victory on the Time Magician that Yugi Muto had given him. When the Time Magic was successfully activated, he thought a real miracle was about to happen and that he seemed to have a chance to defeat Yugi!

However, due to the effects of time magic, the dark magician did not die with the passage of time, but instead transformed into an even more powerful black-clad sage!

A magic card was revealed from Yugi's hand, and the battle was over.

Ultimately, the castle was defeated.

However, he was not discouraged. He was already very satisfied to have reached this level in the game.

"The winner of the second duel is—Yugi Muto!" the referee announced again. "The final battle of Duel Kingdom will begin in thirty minutes!"

"The ultimate winner of the grand final will not only receive the highest honor in the dueling world—the title of 'King of Duels,' but will also have the opportunity to challenge the father of Duel Monsters—Lord Pegasus!"

"The two players who have advanced to the finals, please take a short rest and prepare for the final battle!"

According to the tournament rules, You Shuo and Wang Yang could no longer modify their decks. However, dueling is a very physically demanding activity, and both sides needed some time to adjust after their duel.

Thirty minutes later, the final battle of Duel Kingdom finally began!

"Whoosh! ------------"

As the flag was lowered and the two duelists entered the arena, the referee announced loudly, "The Duel Kingdom Grand Finals have officially begun!"

"The two sides facing off are: Yugi Muto and Yuuki!!"

"Now let's decide who goes first!!!"

A faint light shone from the ancient pyramid, and Wang Yang appeared with a smile, seemingly very satisfied with You Shuo's current state: "The moment has finally come, You Shuo."

"You Shuo, we are both undefeated duelists, but today, one of us will taste defeat!"

"However, that person is definitely not me!!"

You Shuo placed the deck on the field and smiled slightly.

"duel!!!!!"

Chapter 85 The Fierce Battle Begins

"Duel!!!"

[You Shuo, LP: 2000]

[Wang Yang, LP: 2000]

Under the watchful eye of Pegasus, the father of Duel Monsters, the final match of the Duel Kingdom Tournament has finally begun!

The winner of this battle will earn the title of Duel King and the opportunity to challenge Pegasus!

Seated on his throne, Pegasus smiled as he looked at Yu Shuo and Wang Yang. He put down his goblet and focused his attention entirely on the two of them.

"My first move: Draw a card!"

The moment he was granted the first move by the random selection on the dueling arena, Yugi swiftly and decisively drew his card, beginning the first round of the battle!

"Attack signal!"

"The pterosaurs guarding the city!!"

"Set one card face down, end your turn!"

The Pterodactyl Defending the City

【Four stars】

[Wind Attribute/Dragon Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1400/1200]

[Description: The dragon guarding the mountain stronghold descends rapidly from the sky to attack the enemy.]

A flash of light appeared, and a pale blue pterosaur flew out of the card and landed in the monster zone in front of Yugi.

You Shuo's gaze sharpened.

This Wyvern that defends the city is often jokingly referred to by some Yu-Gi-Oh! players as "the Wyvern that can't defend the city" because this card is almost always used as cannon fodder and is destroyed as soon as it is played.

However, as a long-time fan of the Yu-Gi-Oh! series, Yu Shuo knows very well that this card is sold at an astronomical price as a rare card in this world not just because it is a Dragon Monster card.

The pterosaurs guarding the city are rare dragon monsters with flight capabilities.

In the rules of the Duel Kingdom era, if the two sides in a battle have an advantage against each other, the advantage is negated, and the damage is calculated based on the normal attack and defense power.

The pterosaurs defending the city can use their flight ability to counter their opponents in battle. Even if the opponents can counter the pterosaurs defending the city, they will not be able to gain an advantage because of the fact that dragons are never countered.

After a fairly complex calculation, the defending pterosaur can gain the upper hand in almost all battles against the vast majority of monsters!

Although Yugi only set one card, the Wyvern that defends the city is powerful enough to deal with many enemies.

After quickly calculating in his mind, You Shuo drew a card from the deck.

The previous opponents may not pose much of a challenge, but facing King Yang requires extra caution.

"My turn, draw a card."

"Attack signal summon - Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

"Roar----"

A powerful dragon roar echoed throughout the arena, and under the bright silver light, a swirling storm rippled outwards, revealing a proud, silver-white dragon before everyone's eyes.

Blue-Eyes White Dragon

[Eight Stars]

[Light Attribute/Dragon Race]

[Attack/Defense: 3000/2500]

[Description: A legendary dragon renowned for its immense attack power. It can crush any opponent; its destructive force is immeasurable.]

All the spectators were shocked to see this.

"Blue-Eyes White Dragon?!"

"You Shuo summoned the Blue-Eyes White Dragon in the very first round?!"

"Isn't this a bit too risky?!"

The seemingly naive Ji Liang stroked his chin and analyzed, "But now is also the best opportunity for Blue-Eyes White Dragon to appear. With only one face-down card in the game, You Shuo's Blue-Eyes White Dragon doesn't need to worry so much."

You Shuo waved his arm and announced, "Enter the battle phase!"

"Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

"Attack the pterosaurs defending the city!"

"Explosive Gale Bullet of Destruction!!!"

"Rumble rumble rumble—"

A burst of intense white light erupted, the violent and surging energy seemingly about to devour the pterosaur in the sky.

Wang Yang smiled confidently and flipped open the cover card.

"I didn't expect you to summon the Blue-Eyes White Dragon directly."

"But this card I've laid in ambush can still handle it!"

"Spell Card activated - Switcheroo!"

Katsuya Jonouchi exclaimed excitedly, "What kind of monsters will the game summon?!"

Hiromichi Honda: "But no one can possibly withstand the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's attack, right?! The Blue-Eyes White Dragon is the strongest monster!"

With a flash of light, the pterosaur guarding the city vanished in a streak of light, and then the monster that had appeared on the field to face the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's attack turned into a skeletal mammoth!

The Graveyard of Mammoths

【Samsung】

[Dark Attribute/Undead]

[Attack/Defense: 1200/800]

[Description: A mammoth guarding the graves of its companions. It attacks grave robbers without mercy.]

Mammoth Graveyard is an Earth-attribute Dinosaur-type monster in the OCG, but in the Duel Kingdom era it is a Dark-attribute Undead-type monster, and there is a very classic scene about it in the original work.

"This monster..."

You Shuo seemed to be deep in thought.

The mammoth's graveyard appears under guard, clearly indicating that Yugi intended to send it there. However, what the effects of sending it to the graveyard will be remains unknown.

"Bam—"

The card shattered, and a giant skull lay scattered on the ground.

The proud Blue-Eyes White Dragon roared once more, asserting its sovereignty.

Wang Yang's expression remained calm and composed.

You Shuo glanced at the scene, then closed his card to end his turn.

Wang Yang's lips curled up as he drew a card and said, "You Shuo, the fact that you dared to summon the Blue-Eyes White Dragon in the first round means you must have a way to retrieve it."

"Therefore, there is a very high probability that you possess that card—Monster Resurrection!"
