Chapter 828: Professional
Chapter 828: Professional
"I'm exhausted," said You Xuan, leaning back in his dormitory's recliner as he connected the communication.
On the other end of the Student Terminal was a fat cat face, but the voice belonged to Great Temple. You Xuan knew that Great Temple's ghost was probably hovering on the other side of the screen, but ghosts couldn't be seen through electronic devices; they were only visible face-to-face.
"Do you know how exhausting a Duel is for a cat?" Great Temple began to protest for his labor rights.
"I demand a raise! There must be extra Duel overtime pay!"
"Sure," You Xuan agreed generously, waving his hand in approval. "Then tomorrow, I'll reward you with three pounds of cat food."
"Hmph, the world may fear the name of the Duel King, but I'm not intimidated. I've beaten Kings before."
"I was thinking that Alice could help me with the reception later."
"I'm just a cat. Don't expect me to carry him back."
Damn, more cat food!
"My beloved, You Cheng Shida."
The Long Coat Man leaned against the wall, narrowing his eyes and chuckling softly.
The cat whispered softly.
"Okay, no problem."
You Xuan turned to speak.
"This isn't an easy task."
"One reason is to atone for my sins. I had lost myself and was about to make a mistake, but Mr. You Xuan stopped me in time, helping me regain my senses."
The ambition to compete for the Duel King title and reach the pinnacle of the world had been shattered in an instant by the fact that he was "no better than a cat."
This person's name was Professor Cobra, a professor at the Western Branch School of Duel Academy, known as the Viper Professor.
Great Temple's ghost suddenly turned pale—of course, You Xuan on the other end of the screen couldn't see this.
"What are your orders, Master?" Cobra asked coldly.
At this moment, the maid, Alice, arrived with a tray of food, setting it down on the table next to You Xuan. The tray held an exquisite fruit platter.
Alice tilted her head in confusion, pointing at herself.
"It's not for you," she said, lowering her voice to whisper.
The cat's eyes widened as it gazed at the platter of fruit, its mouth watering.
"I've been wanting to test this so-called new generation of Duel Kings for a while, but there hasn't been an opportunity since no one has placed a bid."
Without eyelids, with only one eye, the deep and boundless pupil seemed to contain a thirst for something.
The cat, floating beside You Xuan, heard this and protested, "I'm not just an object!"
"A cat's Duel is too terrifying."
The cat's eyes widened in surprise, and it instinctively shrank back, moving away from the sinister puppet.
"Because watching Mr. You Xuan punish those self-proclaimed dark Duelists and send them to the Realm of Eternal Darkness is so satisfying."
"That's good."
Somewhere.
This sudden change in expression was unmatched, "Oh, it's nothing. It's just that there might be an unexpected visitor coming to the island soon."
The maid, Alice, looked at the cat expressionlessly, "That's not for you."
"Duel Academy?"
"I now understand the saying, 'Birds of a feather flock together.'" The cat whispered. At this moment, You Xuan hung up the communication terminal in his hand and turned, "Alice."

"Oh, that looks delicious. Your cooking skills have improved, Alice-chan!"
Alice suddenly appeared in front of him, and the gloom on her face vanished, replaced by a sweet smile, her eyes narrowing into crescents.
"Understood, I'll arrange for someone to be there. Prepare the interrogation room and find out what's going on with the Descending Church and that missing information." Yu Xuan said, "And what is that information-losing creature?"
"Reception? Me?"
In the laboratory above, a man in a long coat sat with his legs crossed on a sofa, receiving a mission briefing.
He lifted his head and looked at the man in front of him.
"Don't worry, I have my limits, meow," Da De Temple said confidently, but his tone suddenly turned sour, "But it's best to send someone to this coordinate to bring him back."
He was a tall, robust man with dark skin, and standing before him was like facing a small mountain.
Yu Xuan spread his hands in exasperation, "But Teacher, you're already a cat. What else can I reward you with? I'll try to introduce you to a couple of pretty female cats."
"Wait for me, Dekade."
Yu Xuan paused and smiled mysteriously.
The camera cut to Da De Temple's perspective, where the legendary Insect Kid, Moth, was lying on the ground, unconscious, with his glasses askew and mumbling incoherently.
"Go, go, go," Da De Temple said indignantly, "If that's the case, no overtime pay. I want a vacation! I demand a vacation!"
"Now you have it."
"By the way, why are you so dedicated to following this guy?"
"He doesn't look like a good person."
His large eyes almost popped out.
Professor Cobra folded his arms behind his back and said calmly.
"So heartless."
Deep underground, in a dark laboratory, the air was heavy with an oppressive atmosphere. An abnormal glass vessel was placed in the center of the lab, almost reaching the ceiling, filled with an unknown liquid, its color somewhere between pitch-black and deep blue.
The large eyes drooped, and he asked listlessly, ".
"It's here, it's here!"
Alice smiled slightly.
--- A giant eye.
"But I still need to remind you that the Duel King isn't the goal itself. If possible, try to avoid direct conflict."
"I know, I know. That student, You Cheng Shida, right? Let's see how much he has evolved. Don't worry, leave it to me."
The man in the long coat smiled and patted his chest.
"I'm a professional."
