Chapter 311: The Upcoming Tournament
Chapter 311: The Upcoming Tournament
Dai Temple quickly flipped through the construct, squinting as he pondered, then revealed a smile that seemed to hold a hint of pleasure.
As if approving of this train of thought.
In fact, on second thought, this idea was somewhat similar to his own tactics and was quite to his taste.
Dai Temple used an alchemy deck, and like You Xuan's, most of the cards in the deck were not physical. Only a few cards related to his ace card, "Macro Cosmos," had been made into physical cards.
However, his deck strategy was somewhat similar to You Xuan's.
They both disrupted their opponents by removing cards from the graveyard and preventing them from utilizing graveyard resources, while their own monsters had the ability to turn those removed cards into resources.
By blocking and hindering their opponents, they created favorable offensive conditions for themselves, gaining the upper hand on the field.
So, at first glance, Dai Temple felt a sense of familiarity with this deck and couldn't help but nod slightly in approval.
Dai Temple narrowed his eyes, appearing to leisurely stroke his cat as usual with a calm smile, but this time, his expression seemed more profound.
"Sometimes I truly find You Xuan's intellect a bit frightening."
He adjusted his glasses, and his already narrowed eyes seemed to close even further.
But only for a moment, as he quickly returned to his usual self.
"Ahahaha. But it's quite a coincidence that I happen to have a card here that suits You Xuan perfectly."
Dai Temple stood up and rummaged through the dusty, disorganized experiment table at the back before returning with a card in hand.
You Xuan reached out and took it.
Just as expected.
Continuous Trap Card - Macro Cosmos.
[Effect: When this card is activated, Special Summon 1 "Helios - The Primordial Sun" from your hand or Deck.
As long as this card exists in the Spell & Trap Zone, cards sent to the Graveyard are banished instead.]
You Xuan's first reaction upon glimpsing this card was to raise an eyebrow.
Wait, there are two effects? Then he recalled, oh right. This card has been a staple in Infernoid decks for so long that many people might have forgotten that it was originally Dai Temple's signature card.
Helios was indeed Dai Temple's ace monster. However, due to its lackluster competitive performance, it was often overlooked.
You Xuan took the card, but Dai Temple didn't immediately let go, holding onto his end of the card with a slight smile.
"You Xuan, you must be preparing for the Duelist Kingdom tournament, right?"
"Mhm." You Xuan nodded and shrugged. "I want to adjust to the best condition possible. If I don't perform well, Kaiba will probably not let me off the hook easily."
"Ahahaha, You Xuan, you're working hard indeed. Well then, good luck to you."
Dai Temple released his hold, allowing You Xuan to take the card.
He then sat back down and resumed petting Pharaoh casually.
"I'm also looking forward to witnessing You Xuan's growth. Do your best. Who knows, you might even become the champion and strike it rich! Ahahahaha."
"Haha, that might be a bit challenging, but I'll give it my all." You Xuan laughed.
"You can do it! I believe in you, You Xuan!" Dai Temple waved his hand cheerfully.
"Alright, then I won't disturb your rest any longer."
With the legendary item "Macro Cosmos" obtained, You Xuan stood up to leave.
"I won't let you down, Teacher."
". . ."
". . ."
You Xuan turned and walked out. Dai Temple quietly continued petting his cat for a moment before taking a curious interest, smiling as he watched You Xuan's retreating back through the window.
As if yawning, he lazily turned over and settled into a more comfortable position on Dai Temple's lap.
"It really makes one eager to see how far this child will go."
The reflection on Dai Temple's glasses obscured his gaze.
"...to see how far this child will go."
Domino City, the legendary Dueling Capital, was the soon-to-be host of the Duelist Kingdom Tournament.
It was a place where countless legends were born and, over the years, had been promoted as the city of the "First King of Games" and the birthplace of the "First Duelist Kingdom."
By now, it had truly become a mecca for dueling, with almost everyone in the city taking up the game.
Aside from that, if one didn't know how to duel or register a deck, they couldn't even establish residency in this city.
It was hard to imagine how much influence the world's number one game enthusiast, Kaiba Seto, had to be able to successfully implement such an outrageous policy.
In a forgotten corner of Domino City.
A half-open door, its paint already half-peeled, revealed a mottled wooden texture. The dim light was yellowish and eerie, like a ghost's eye peering in the darkness.
Several figures stood silently around a round table.
"We have received a message from the headquarters," one of them said in a deep voice.
"A message from the Spirit World. The 'Seal Tool' has appeared in this world, but it seems to have been lost according to our intelligence."
Another frowned and said, "Those spirits were given so much power by the gods, and in the end, they still can't get anything done?"
"Tsk, they're a bunch of good-for-nothings."
"However, there is information that suggests a Duelist from our world is interfering. The organization believes that the 'Seal Tool' has fallen into this person's hands," said the first black-clad figure.
"Oh? Do we know who it is?"
"Perhaps. After investigation, it seems that person might be called You Xuan."
The figures exchanged glances, their confused expressions reflecting the same question—who is this person?
"A student from Duelist Academy, neither a professional nor a famous Duelist. It's not surprising if you haven't heard of him," said the one who seemed to be their leader.
"Duelist Academy? A student?"
The rest of them suspected they had heard wrong.
"Yes. However, I suggest you not underestimate him. I've only heard a little, but this person's skills are probably not bad. Even Kaiba Seto seems to be paying attention to him, so he must be special."
"Hmph, he probably has great potential. But nonetheless, he's just a student."
One of them by the table chuckled.
The leader-like figure nodded slightly.
"Very well. According to reliable intelligence, he should also be attending the upcoming Duelist Kingdom Tournament, right here in this city." He looked around and continued, "And that's why this branch, located here, has become the forefront of this operation.
The organization's instructions are clear: we have only one primary objective."
His gaze turned sharp, and his voice lowered.
"Use all necessary means to retrieve the 'Seal Tool' at all costs."
The figures around the table nodded slightly, indicating their agreement.
"Excellent. The Duelist Kingdom Tournament will be our best opportunity. Since Night Shadow is so confident, how about you take the lead?"
The man called Night Shadow laughed heartily.
"Of course, why not?" he said confidently.
"Then I'll go ahead and get the job done."
