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

Seeing that Samejima took the lead, Li Youfeng also walked up to Marufuji Ryo with a smile, patted him on the shoulder, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Liang, you did very well. The limitations of the existing electronic flow cards have hindered your growth. These things are not the results that Samejima and I want to see!"

"Through this duel, I have seen that you have regained your duelist soul. So, no matter what the result of the duel is, I am very satisfied with your performance. By the way, I will stay in the Duel Academy until Judai graduates. If you have time, you can come back and visit. I will also do my best to help you."

"Don't forget about me!" Fearing that he would lose a good talent like Marufuji Ryo, Tenma Yuexing came over impatiently, "Ryo, you have already signed a professional duelist contract with my company. No matter what, you are a duelist under the name of our Illusion Club, so you have to work harder in the next professional league!"

"Mr. You Feng, Mr. Samejima, Mr. Tianma, thank you~! Thank you very much!" His eyes were filled with tears of emotion. Marufuji Ryo did not expect that there would be someone willing to help him in such an adversity.

Marufuji Ryo took the card deck containing the inner electronic flow from Samejima's hand with a solemn look on his face, and he firmly remembered this great favor in his heart.

As he needed to gain a deeper understanding and master the dueling techniques of the electric current, Marufuji Ryo decided to stay in the dojo on Samejima for the time being.

After all, Samejima himself was about to retire, and precisely because of this, Samejima made up his mind to hand over all affairs of the Duel Academy to Professor Chronos so that he could devote himself to teaching Marufuji Ryo new duel skills.

For Professor Chronos, who had always coveted the position of principal of Duel Academy, being appreciated by Principal Samejima and taking over all the business of Duel Academy in advance was naturally something he had wished for.

As the saying goes, one feels refreshed when good things happen to him. Professor Chronos, who has basically been confirmed as the next president, has worked even harder.

To be fair, leaving aside some minor flaws in his own character, from a broad perspective, Professor Chronos, who has a funny personality, can truly be called a valuable mentor and friend.

For Li Youfeng, successfully reversing Maruto Ryo's original fate has more or less fulfilled a small wish that has been hidden in his heart for a long time.

It is true that, as everyone is familiar with, the final destination of the electronic genre often ends in a wheelchair, but for an outstanding duel master like Marufuji Ryo, if he ends up in a sad ending as described in the original work, it is undoubtedly not a perfect and happy ending...

Time passed quickly like a white horse passing by, and in the blink of an eye, Yucheng Judai had successfully been promoted to a third-year student.

During these two years, Youcheng Shidai has experienced fewer setbacks. After all, he has Li Youfeng silently protecting him behind him. It is because of his secret protection that Youcheng Shidai has been able to avoid many potential dangers and difficulties.

In addition, because the Overlord showed signs of resurrection in the duel with the Demon of Sorrow, Li Youfeng also conducted even more cruel devil training on Youcheng Judai.

After all, for a Hell Duelist, the first thing to do before beating others is to learn to be beaten. Constantly improving through beating and being beaten is also the inevitable fate of a Hell Duelist.

(Note: Question it, feel it, and then, because of being beaten, join it. I have to say, this kind of psychological duel is really fun!)

Under the careful guidance of Li Youfeng, Youcheng Judai is like a shining new star, gradually emerging.

Now, Yujo Judai, who has entered the third grade, has become more skilled and sophisticated in dueling skills. Whether dealing with complex and changing situations or seizing fleeting opportunities, he can do it with ease and composure.

Darkness, which had reached a brief cooperative relationship with the Demon of Sorrow, fell silent again, but Li Youfeng knew very well that this guy had begun to secretly carry out his plan. The undercurrent surged again in the Duel Academy. With the start of the new semester, a new world-destroying crisis also arrived again.

"That's all. I hope you can cherish your last year at Duel Academy and leave a satisfactory answer to your academy life with excellent grades!"

After a brief speech at the opening ceremony, Principal Chronos, who had taken over all affairs of Duel Academy, turned his head and looked below the podium.

"This year, the third grade will welcome three transfer students from Country M. Their names must be familiar to you. They are John Andersen, Oakens O'Brien, and Jim Crocodile Coco!"

"Oh! I didn't expect that these three guys also joined the Duel Academy. That's great. Now it seems that we won't be lonely this year!" Because Li Youfeng explained all the truth about the Sorrow Demon incident, Youcheng Judai naturally knew very well that these three people were controlled by the Sorrow Demon at that time.

"I never thought that I would also participate in the Dark Game. Damn it. If I had known this, I would have worked harder!" Asuka Amajimezuki, who fell into a coma after being defeated in the individual competition of the exchange battle, thought that she was holding Judai back. Although she was very resentful, she knew very well that she and Judai were no longer duelists of the same level.

"Tsk! Finally I have a chance to avenge the arrow I shot at me!" Folding his arms, Misawa Daichi, who still stayed in Taiyang Shen Huang even though he was promoted to the third grade, smacked his lips unhappily.

"John, this guy is really here." He helplessly looked at Yuki Judai, shrugged his shoulders and laughed, "Well, this guy is a duelist of the same type as Judai, this is really going to be lively again!"

Except for Amon Garam who stayed in Country M to help his family, John, O'Brien and Jim directly joined the Duel Academy of Sakura Country as transfer students. As a result, the third-year students of the Duel Academy became the strongest class in the true sense. The Duel Academy also entered its most prosperous period because of their joining.

As the principal of Duel Academy, the happiest person would be Principal Chronos. After all, Principal Samejima has retired, and Duel Academy has been able to train so many outstanding students, and what goes out will eventually be his honor and achievement.

Mackenzie, the principal of the M Country Duel Academy who had been possessed by the Demon of Sorrow for many years, regained his sanity because the former was eliminated by Li Youfeng. After learning that he had done so many things that hurt others, Mackenzie finally resigned and gave the position of principal to his daughter, Reggie Mackenzie.

As a person involved in the Duel Academy incident, Professor "Cobra" Cobra who was defeated by Li Youfeng was eventually sent to the prison in Sakura Country. Because he attempted to summon the evil god to endanger the entire world, with sufficient evidence provided by the Kaiba Group, he will probably have to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Of course, all interrogations regarding metaphysical powers were conducted in secret. Except for the top brass in Sakura Country and Country M, these data and information have always been kept in a strictly sealed state.

Time flies, days and months pass by in a flash. Under this seemingly calm surface, every corner of the world is shrouded in a mysterious and dark undercurrent, and a series of incredible changes are quietly happening.

At first, people did not notice anything unusual, but gradually, some strange phenomena began to surface.

People living in different places disappeared mysteriously without any warning, as if they were wiped out from this world by an invisible hand.

Not only that, this strange situation is not limited to individual areas, but is showing a trend of spreading.

Especially those small villages located in remote areas with inconvenient transportation suffered a devastating disaster - the residents of the entire village disappeared collectively overnight!

They seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, leaving no trace, as if they had never lived here.

What’s even more horrifying is that not only did the people disappear, but all traces related to them gradually disappeared as if under a spell.

Important information such as records in books and personal files also mysteriously disappeared, as if someone deliberately wanted to erase the evidence that these people ever existed.

However, the real fear and despair have just begun.

As the number of missing people continues to increase, a more terrifying phenomenon has emerged!

Those who have not yet disappeared have no memory of their disappeared companions!

It seemed as if some kind of forgetting mechanism was implanted in their minds, causing those once familiar faces to become blurred or even completely unrememberable.

This collective amnesia has put the entire dueling world in a state of boiling a frog in warm water, and it is particularly serious in cities where there are no duelists.

Of course, the fact that people can die while playing cards in the Duel World seems to have long been common sense. Even Seto Kaiba, who always talks about science, finally gave in after experiencing so many metaphysical events.

Although he just said "Hmph, don't bother me with these boring things" and then devoted himself to the development of a new duel disk, overall, it was incredible that his thinking could change.

A few days later, an exciting news spread across the world: Kaiba Group officially announced that it would temporarily requisition the Sakura Country Duel Academy to hold a duel tournament that would shock the world!

This news exploded like thunder, instantly igniting the passion and desire in the hearts of countless duelists.

As everyone knows, ever since Li Youfeng announced his retirement, there has been no duelist in the dueling world who can be crowned with the title of "Duel King".

Therefore, this international competition led by Haima Group is of great significance!

In the eyes of duelists from all over the world, this duel tournament is not just an ordinary duel, but a battle of the century that allows contestants to have the opportunity to challenge the supreme Duel King and seize the title of Duel King that symbolizes glory and strength from his legendary hands!

This unprecedented opportunity undoubtedly once again ignited the Tamashii desire of duelists from all countries to duel to their heart's content.

Of course, the Kaiba Group also promoted and released a large number of new cards and duel disks at this time. It must be said that when it comes to taking the opportunity to make money, Seto Kaiba is absolutely professional. He can make duelists from various countries willingly empty their pockets and at the same time increase the influence of the Kaiba Group. This wave of his abacus beads has almost hit the faces of all the duelists.

Although~everyone is really willing to do it.

As time went by, the schedules for this highly anticipated world-class duel tournament were announced, and the popularity of the duel tournament overshadowed the missing population incident and became the main topic in the duel world.

People began to discuss the contestants, the rules of the competition, and the exciting duels that might occur. Duelists from various countries also began their preparations for the title of Duel King. The whole world was immersed in anticipation for this event, as if they could already feel the sparks brought about by the fierce collision.

After all, Li Youfeng, the active Duel King, has officially announced that he will be invited by the Kaiba Group to participate in the opening ceremony of the "Duel King GX World Tournament" and accept the challenge of the champion duelist!

What needs to be explained here is that after this news was announced, it caused an uproar in the duel world. Although the duel circle did not stop developing because of the retirement of the Duel King, for this soul title that symbolizes the duel world, there is no duelist who does not want to obtain this highest honor.

And the most important thing is that this duel competition to determine the title of "Second Generation Duel King" does not require the champion to defeat Li Youfeng. If he can defeat the Duel King or get the recognition of the Duel King, then the champion duelist can get the title of Second Generation Duel King!

It has to be said that this rule undoubtedly eases the difficulty of obtaining the title of Duel King.

After all, the rumor that the first Duel King Li Youfeng is invincible has been proven by time. In order to stimulate the development of the duel world and encourage the duelists' love and enthusiasm for duel monsters, Kaiba Seto had to agree to this condition under the joint protest of many forces.

On the other hand, in order to balance the existing duel rules, Kaiba Group also reached an agreement with Illusion Society regarding the existing cards circulating on the market. While proposing to ban cards and modify the duel rules, Kaiba Group also standardized and modified the effects and attributes of most cards.
