Yu-Gi-Oh!: The journey of the Duel King from scratch!

"Darkness, you and I both covet this world. There will be a war between us eventually, but now is not the time for us to fight among ourselves. So, as long as you don't cross the line, I can still tolerate your existence. After all, if we fight now, you know what the consequences will be!" There was a hint of warning in Principal Mackenzie's voice.

The man in black sneered again: "Humph, coveting this world? Maybe! Mackenzie, I have to say you are a cunning guy! As an ally, I want to remind you that although the Duel King has retired, it does not mean that he will not take action! Believe me, Li Youfeng is far more insidious and cunning than you think!"

"This time when we go to the Sakura Country Duel Academy, I can help you eliminate Judai Yucheng and Ed Phoenix, thus severing the inheritance of Duel King Li Youfeng in this world. But please remember that I may change my mind at any time! If one day I feel that you are no longer worthy of cooperation, then... hehe~!"

After saying this, the mysterious man gradually disappeared, as if blending into the darkness. Principal Mackenzie sneered slightly and then slowly sat back in his office chair.

"Darkness, I never thought that even the God of Darkness has awakened in this era. But now it seems that you, like me, have not completely escaped from the seal!"

Principal Mackenzie was secretly alert, as he knew very well that cooperation with Darkness was only a temporary solution!

As the saying goes, "How can I allow others to snore beside my bed?", the world definitely does not need two masters. He is the tragic demon, so naturally he wants to be the only ruler of this world!

M Country Duel Academy dormitory.

"Haha, I've been looking forward to visiting the Sakura Country Duel Academy since half a year ago. I didn't expect my dream to come true so soon!" John packed his luggage happily. He had high expectations for this trip to the Sakura Country.

"John, you are really an optimist who can take everything in a positive light!" Living in the same dormitory with John, Simon looked like he was worried about something.

"Of course. After all, I heard that the professional league world champion Ed Phoenix rejected our academy's invitation and joined the Duel Academy in Sakura Country!"

While organizing his deck, John said with a smile: "Simon, think about it, such a powerful duelist came all the way to the Sakura Country Duel Academy. This is already very worthy of deep thought, okay? So in my opinion, Sakura Country must have very powerful duelists. Oh, when I think about having a pleasant duel with them, I feel so happy!"

"A happy duel? Humph, you are indeed John. Your mind is always so pure and carefree. Sometimes I really envy you!" Looking at the enthusiastic John, Simon smiled bitterly and shook his head. "By the way, John, as far as I know, isn't there always a trump card missing from your deck? Are you planning to go to the Sakura Country Duel Academy like this?"

"Ah? You're talking about that? Haha, it doesn't matter. In my opinion, as long as the duel is fun, the victory or defeat is not that important to me!"

After saying this, John began to take out the seven gem cards from his deck. His movements were gentle and cautious. Every time he took out a card, he carefully observed the patterns and words on it, as if he was appreciating a precious work of art.

With a gentle smile on his face, John seemed to have remembered something and said with an expectant smile: "By the way, Mr. Pegasus called me a few days ago and said that because of someone's hint, he got new inspiration, so during the time he went to the Duel Academy in Sakura Country, he will definitely be able to make the last Gem Beast Ace card!"

Hearing John's words, Simon couldn't help but sigh: "Oh? Is it because of someone's tip? John, you are really a lucky guy!"

Simon showed a hint of envy in his eyes, and he was more of a blessing to his friend. However, he quickly shook his head and said helplessly: "What a pity, I wish I could be as carefree as you."

"Eh? Simon, what did you say?"

"No, it's nothing. We should get ready in advance. After all, we will be leaving in half a month!"

"Tsk! If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Why are you making it so mysterious?"

Compared to John and Simon, the atmosphere on O'Brien and Jim's side was obviously a bit depressing.

"Hehehe~! Sakura Country Duel Academy, it is said that Tenjouin Fubuki who has been missing for a year seems to have failed a grade. This time I finally have a chance to take revenge on him!" With his left eye bandaged, Jim was seriously organizing his deck of cards at his desk.

"Hey, O'Brien, have you noticed? That Professor Cobra definitely doesn't look like a good person!" Suddenly thinking of something, Jim turned his head and looked at another exchange student in the dormitory.

"I don't need to understand him, because there is no need!" Sitting on the sofa with his arms folded, O'Brien replied calmly, "As a mercenary, I don't need to know the purpose of my employer. No matter what kind of opponent I face, completing the mission is my primary goal!"

"Tsk! You're such a dullard! Don't you need to prepare in advance?"

"Humph, this is also not necessary. As a mercenary, maintaining the most perfect condition for a long time is the most basic quality!"

"Shit! Is it really okay for you to just kill the conversation like this?"

"Humph, as a mercenary, what I say is usually the most concise and clear!"

Jim: “…”

"Shit! I'm such an idiot for taking the initiative to talk to you!"

Darkness was stirring in the shadows, and half a month passed in a flash.

Because Li Youfeng eliminated the threat of Zhai Wang in advance, the Light of Destruction, which had retired sadly, also lost the opportunity to cause trouble. Although Li Youfeng's move also made Judai lose an opportunity to train himself, under Li Youfeng's arrangement, Judai experienced even more miserable torture during this period than in the original work!

As for the reason, it is actually very simple. After obtaining the Mystery Power deck and regaining the favor of the Goddess of Fate, Jonouchi has become more terrifying than the original Saiou. In Judai's training duel, Jonouchi's coins and dice once made Judai almost depressed to the point of vomiting blood. With the help of some cards of the Mystery Power, Jonouchi's shout of "Smash Varudo" made Judai suffer from insomnia for many days before he gradually recovered.

Of course, Li Youfeng would not forget his other apprentice, Ed, when he had such a "good thing" of catching Jounouchi as a sparring partner.

As expected, Ed, who won the world championship, was also defeated by the coins and dice in Jonouchi. In particular, he personally experienced a duel in which the opponent threw more than twenty heads and sixes in total. Ed, who was beaten to the point of doubting his life, repeatedly stated that he would never duel with such a metaphysical player in the future.

In this way, Jonouchi once again picked up the titles of "gambler", "con man", and "son of the goddess of fate", and with this practical experience, Judai Yuki and Ed also gained a lot in the duel with Jonouchi.

As for the Duel Academy, during this half month, Dilano Jianshan from the first-year Sun God Yellow Class easily defeated all the students of the same grade and became a rising star duelist of the Duel Academy.

Of course, apart from the fact that Saotome Rei refused Kenzan's request to duel because she was busy competing with Tenjouin Asuka for Judai, it was more because most of the first-year students in this year had mediocre qualifications.

Although this is actually the true level of all the students of Duel Academy, after comparing with the second year, the teachers headed by Principal Samejima inevitably fell into disappointment and distress.

Unlike the original plot, because he wanted to challenge stronger duelists, Kenzan directly challenged the second-year students. After a hard fight, he defeated Maruto Sho by a hair's breadth and learned that the latter was actually Yuki Judai's younger brother. At a loss, Kenzan Dilano once again requested a duel with stronger duelists, namely Yuki Judai and others.

There was no suspense about what happened next. After enduring the various beatings by Manjome, Judai and others, Dilano Kenzan was completely turned into autism.

Frustrated, Jianshan began to doubt his dueling skills for the first time and even considered dropping out of school.

Fortunately, with the comfort and encouragement from Yugi Judai, Kenzan recalled his original intention of becoming a Duelist. Because of the former's enthusiasm, Kenzan took this opportunity to voluntarily become Judai's younger brother and became a member of the Lavender Activities Club.

Sakura Country Duel Academy Lavender Game Store.

"Damn it! Who is this uncle? With such dueling skills, is he really just the owner of a game store?" Looking at his remaining 200 health points, the sweaty Dilano Kenzan glanced at his hand and then turned his gaze to Yuki Judai who was watching the game on the side.

"Come on, Jianshan! Don't think too much. The opportunity to duel with the store manager is very precious. You just need to do your best here!" Noticing Jianshan's gaze, Yucheng Judai smiled and cheered him up.

"Damn it, what kind of hint is this? Just try your best? It's as if you didn't expect me to win at all!"

With a wry smile, Jianshan looked at Li Youfeng's field. After glancing at the three monsters, the Laundry Dragon Girl, the Baby-Raising Dragon Girl, and the Dormitory Dragon Girl, he couldn't help but secretly calculated in his heart: "The store manager's health is still 4000 points, but the three dragon maid monsters on his field have the special effect of being able to transform during the battle phase. If I can't defeat them all in one go, I will only fall into a deeper quagmire in the next round!"

After taking a deep breath, Dilano Jianshan reached for his deck.

"My turn, draw a card!"

"What? What is this card?"

Looking at the card he just drew, Jianshan's eyes lit up, "Very good, I still have a chance to turn the tables!"

"But the manager seems to have a card in his backcourt that has not been activated since the first round. If it's a trap, won't I be in trouble?"

"Damn it, why think so much? Just like big brother said, just do your best!"

After taking a deep breath, Dilano Jianshan, who was clear-minded, immediately slapped the card in his hand on the duel disk.

"The special effect of the Velociraptor is activated!"

"This monster can be Special Summoned from your hand, but if you successfully summon it this way, the other player can also choose a monster from their Graveyard to Special Summon. Okay, Uncle Manager, now it's your turn to choose a monster from your Graveyard to Special Summon!"

"Oh? You're using a card like this? Well, if that's the case, I'll Special Summon this monster!"

Li Youfeng slapped a card that popped out of the graveyard onto the duel disk and said with a sinister smile, "According to this effect, I will Special Summon the Companion Dragon Maid from the graveyard in Defense Position? Living Room Dragon Lady!" (Attack 500 Defense 1700)

"Also, the special effect of the Living Room Dragon Lady is activated. When this monster is successfully summoned or special summoned, you can send a Companion Dragon Maid card other than this card from your deck to the Graveyard. Based on this effect, I will send the Half-Dragon Maid? Wind Dragon Lady from my deck to the Graveyard!"

"Tsk! Are you sending monster cards to your graveyard again?" It seemed that Li Youfeng's behavior was already expected. After revealing a slight smile of confidence, Jianshan slapped the card in his hand on the duel disk.

"Activate magic card, big evolution potion!"

"The effect of this card is that you can activate this card by releasing a Dinosaur-type monster on your field!"

"Also, after activating this card, it remains on the field and is destroyed during the opponent's End Phase during the 3rd turn calculated on the opponent's turn. Its effect is that as long as this card exists in the Spell & Trap Zone, you don't need to use the required Liberation when summoning a Level 5 or higher Dinosaur-Type monster."

"Now, I will release the Velociraptor on my front field as a price, and then activate the effect of this card!"

Slowly raising a card from his hand above his head, Dilano Jianshan looked up to the sky and shouted, "Come and see the trump card in my deck!"

"The power of the dinosaurs will stop all enemies in my way. Please obey my call and come now!"

"Ultimate Horror, attack display!" (Attack 3000 Defense 2200)

"Haha, it's not over yet!"

Kenzan summoned his ace monster without any hindrance, and then revealed another card.

"Equip the magic card and activate it, Meteor Strike!"

"The effect of this card is that it can grant the equipped monster a penetration effect!"

"I'm sorry, uncle manager, but the Ultra Dinosaur can attack all the monsters on the opponent's field, so even if you have a lot of monsters, they are still just prey for the dinosaurs!"

"Fight!"

"Ultimate Terrorbeast, start hunting!"

"Bite fiercely!"
