Chapter 823: The End of the Semester
Chapter 823: The End of the Semester
Everyone: "..."
This turn of events was truly beyond everyone's expectations.
Even Gui Ping, who had the most faith in You Xuan, thought that You Xuan had given up on victory by the end of the duel. You Xuan's demeanor did indeed seem to suggest that, and this duel seemed to be solely for stimulating his opponent and completing the task of awakening the Rainbow Dragon, without any desire for victory.
But who would've thought that he would play a few seemingly insignificant cards during his opponent's turn, and then, with a wave of his hand, he sent John and the Rainbow Dragon packing with a predetermined coin flip. John was left dumbfounded.
In truth, before the duel began, he hadn't thought about winning or losing; he also didn't think he had much of a chance to beat the Duel King. But during that last turn, he genuinely believed he was about to win.
Even the Rainbow Dragon had been awakened, and the atmosphere had been built up, but this sudden twist left everyone stunned, and he couldn't help but glance at the card on his own Duel Disk.
It was from You Xuan, that card that he couldn't escape until the very end, the "Ritual Power 0-Fool."
Now that he thought about it, this Fool wasn't foolish at all. This was the real MVP of this duel, and he couldn't help but start to worry a little. Would this final move send the Rainbow Dragon back to the Monster Plate?
John shook his hand.

John was delighted. "Oh, right, the academy mentioned that there will be an exchange program with the main campus next semester." John said excitedly, "When the time comes, I'll definitely visit the lab."
"I was wrong, and I'll never dare to speak ill of my master again."
The semester was coming to an end, and it seemed like the exchange program would be happening soon.
"Damn, I missed the finals and lost out on so many duels. Didn't You Xuan also miss out on a ranking?"
"Huh? The tournament is over?" Shida was surprised, "When was the final round? How did I not know about it?"
"Please give us more guidance, Mr. You Xuan!"
"Your dueling skills are impressive as well." You Xuan politely expressed his approval, "I witnessed the extraordinary bond between you and the Jewel Beasts."
It was strange; she didn't utter a single word throughout, yet her smile remained sweet and beautiful. However, for some unknown reason, an instinctive sense of danger arose from that sweet smile, as if a thousand sharp knives were hidden behind that cheerful face.
"Damn, I missed out on so many duels. I feel like I lost a billion dollars."
As the story unfolded, it became evident that these visitors from other schools, whether allies or foes, were not to be underestimated. Each of them possessed extraordinary skills, and almost every one of them could easily defeat all of the main campus' protagonist group except for Shida. Their strength surpassed the GX main campus' protagonist group by a significant margin.
"Maintain this passion, and your future achievements will be limitless."
John, who had been lost in thought, was brought back to reality by You Xuan's voice.
"Well, it might be the case for you."
"Huh?" Shida blinked twice, "Don't all students have to participate?"
"Your duel is indeed unique, just as the rumors say. It's quite something, hahaha."
Some of them even surpassed Shida's strength at that time.
He naturally remembered this event, as in the original story, John was supposed to appear in the next semester.
The semester was drawing to a close.

You Xuan wasn't particularly interested in the Jewel Beast Deck himself, as in his memory, the Jewel Beasts seemed a bit like bottom-feeders in every version and environment.
The Spirit really does follow its owner. In any case, the Rainbow Dragon's excavation work was a success.
"That's great, thank you, You Xuan!"
"It was when we went to bother Mello."
It wasn't just John. Professor Cobra, a teacher from another school, led the team, including O'Brien with his Volcano, Jim with his Fossils, John with his Treasure Beasts, and Amon Galaham, the young master of the Galaham Conglomerate. These heavyweights all made their debut this season.
It wasn't impossible. After all, the Rainbow Dragon, a divine-level boss monster, had slept for so many years. When it woke up, the first thing it encountered was this kind of situation. Who knows, it might have felt despair at the current dark Duel environment and decided to go back to sleep. "John?"
However, the Spirit's eyes suddenly appeared, whispering behind him, "To still maintain a passionate heart after being tormented by an evil existence like you is indeed a talent."
A few days ago, the academy's biggest event this semester, the GX Tournament, had concluded. All that was left was the final exams.
He suddenly thought that perhaps this was how the Duelist across from You Xuan felt when they saw his smile.
You Xuan smiled. He knew John was being polite, and the prestigious title of Duel King probably played a role as well. If it had been someone else Dueling, it might have escalated into a physical confrontation by now.
Dekade rested his chin on his hand, looking listless.
You Xuan didn't even lift his head as he flipped through a stack of newly acquired cards.
But as soon as he spoke, his big eyes shivered, as if sensing a killing intent.
Of course, there was still potential for development. He also remembered that the Treasure Beasts had released quite a few new cards in the future. However, even with enhancements, they couldn't keep up with the increasingly rampant new environment and never escaped their status as a dead fish.
You Xuan shook hands with him again.
The girl revealed a smile.
You Xuan laughed, "I didn't even participate."
"I thought you knew."
John smiled sheepishly, picking up the Fool from the Duel Disk and handing it to You Xuan.
"Thank you."
Instinctively, he turned his head and saw a silver-haired, white-robed magician like a fairy, coldly staring at him while skillfully twirling her wand.
His eyes shivered, and he quickly ducked his head.
Dekade was shocked when he heard the news.
"Alright."
However, he agreed to cooperate with Bercas and the International Fantasy Corporation. Later, he would also establish a Treasure Beast research group in his own lab.
You Xuan knew that among this group of exchange personnel, many had ulterior motives. Among them, there were indeed pure and simple students like John who were genuinely there for the exchange. But aside from him, there were students willing to sacrifice everything to obtain demonic power and revive their loved ones, seemingly professors who were actually double agents sent by Bercas, and the conglomerate heir Amon, who had also come to investigate dark forces. At the heart of it all was Professor Cobra, who had been bewitched by Yubel and organized a Duel activity at the academy that sucked away the students' lifeforce. He was the main culprit.
"I told the principal I'm too busy lately. Besides, a competition at this level feels like bullying elementary school kids." You Xuan shrugged.
"Oh, sorry. Ahaha."
You Xuan smiled.
"Is that so? I can introduce you to a Duelist to spar with. You'll definitely enjoy Dueling him."
Dekade's eyes lit up, and he immediately leaned in, "Who? A legendary Duelist?"
"Not exactly. It's more like a legendary Deck." You Xuan smiled mysteriously, "Dekade, have you heard of the 'Treasure Beasts'?"
