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

"You won, it was a pleasant duel!"

Making a victory gesture towards X who was kneeling on the stage in despair, Yuki Judai's declaration of victory undoubtedly caused secondary damage to him, especially after this duel was broadcast through live broadcast, it is likely that X will never be able to play the autism deck again.

After all, the Jackpot Pot 7 card is basically a common card for duelists of this era.

Marufuji Ryo: "Well done, Judai!"

Ed Phoenix: "Haha, you are worthy of being my junior brother. It seems that my previous worries were in vain!"

John Andersen: "Wow, this is the true strength of Yuki Judai. Under such extremely unfavorable circumstances, he actually won a perfect victory and a special victory. Manjomu, you are right!"

Wanzhangmuzhun: "Humph, as my lifelong enemy, isn't it normal for you to have this level of strength? Ugh! John, we are rivals now, stop trying to get close to me!"

Although Marufuji Ryo and Ed have been classified as outsiders, in the final analysis, these two also obtained their graduation certificates from Sakura's Duel Academy!

As for Manjōmujun, John, Judai, and Sorano Daigo, they are students of the Duel Academy.

Therefore, apart from professional player X and the half-masked Fujiwara Sukeyu whose origins were unknown, this world-class competition to determine the title of the second-generation Duel King had, to some extent, turned into a civil war within the Duel Academy.

Of course, those outside duelists were defeated by these people based on their strength and their qualifications were eliminated, so the value of their achievements is of a certain level.

"Guhehe~! The winner is Yujo Judai!"

As the principal of the Duel Academy, Chronos had never imagined that he would be able to train a second-generation Duel King during his tenure as principal. In addition, the remaining contestants were basically students of the Duel Academy. Therefore, even if he did not get the title of Duel King in the end, the fact that these students were able to participate in the preliminaries of the GX Duel Tournament was enough to add an honor that would go down in history to his resume.

However, the only thing that puzzled Principal Chronos was that the second-year student Daigo Sorano could actually become a dark horse and eliminated Daichi Misawa and Asuka Tenjouin to enter the first echelon. Such strength among the second-year students was definitely enough to amaze everyone.

"Next, the computer will randomly draw lots for the remaining six contestants."

Pointing at the large electronic screen, Principal Chronos clicked the draw button. As the names of the six duelists continued to jump, the final groups and list of opponents were announced.

The second game, Ed VS Marufuji Ryo!

The third game, John Andersen VS Hara Fujisuke!

The fourth game, Manjomujin VS Sorano Daigo!

"Oh? I didn't expect it would be my turn so soon!" Ed chuckled and slowly stood up from his seat. He turned his gaze to Marufuji Ryo who was also sitting in the contestant waiting seat.

Having heard about his master helping Marufuji Ryo, Ed's eyes were filled with curiosity and expectation about him.

"Marufuji-kun, I've heard Master talk about you. He said that you are a dueling genius that is rarely seen in a century. I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to compete with Caesar from the Duel Academy today. I'm looking forward to this duel!"

After hearing what Ed said, Maruto Ryo showed a humble smile on his face: "Mr. Ed, you are too kind. I can achieve what I have today entirely because of Mr. You Feng's rescue. So, even if it is just to prove myself to Mr. You Feng, I will try my best to gain his recognition and become the new generation of Duel King!"

Marufuji Ryo accepted Li Youfeng's help and joined the International Illusion Society that he had always dreamed of. He did not turn evil like in the original work. At this moment, he seemed particularly confident and determined.

He knew that this was not just an ordinary duel, but also a great opportunity to prove his strength.

Therefore, Marufuji Ryo wants to show everyone his growth and progress through this duel!

And Ed is his important opponent in achieving this goal.

As the saying goes, people feel refreshed when good things happen to them, and Marufuji Ryo deeply experienced this at this moment.

Since becoming an officially signed employee of Illusion Club, his performance in the professional league has been smooth sailing.

Not only that, he also gradually became familiar with the use of the electronic dragon in actual combat, which gave him more confidence.

Today, Marufuji Ryo was wearing a sky blue windbreaker, looking particularly stylish.

With a confident smile on his face, as if he had already won, Maruto Ryo felt that in order to repay Li Youfeng's kindness, he had to go all out to win the duel.

Marufuji Ryo walked steadily to Ed, stretched out his right hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ed, you are a senior in the professional league, so please give me some advice on this duel!"

Ed was slightly stunned, then a smile appeared on his face. He also stretched out his hand to shake hands with Maru Fujiaki and responded: "Caesaraki, I heard from Master that you are a very tough opponent, but if you want to defeat me, it's not that easy!"

The two men's eyes met, revealing determination and confidence. Marufuji Ryo shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Ed, whether it's the professional league or this time competing for the title of Duel King, you have always been my goal. I have always been looking forward to competing with you. This opportunity is rare, and I will do my best."

A trace of appreciation flashed in Ed's eyes. He smiled and said, "Very good. I hope you can show your true strength. But remember, I won't let you succeed easily."

Marufuji Ryo raised his lips slightly and answered confidently: "Of course, I'm ready. Today, let's have a wonderful duel!"

"Haha!" X2

After a brief greeting, Ed and Marufuji Ryo walked onto the duel arena side by side with laughter. The king of the professional league and holder of the world champion title, Ed Phoenix VS the strongest king of the Duel Academy, Marufuji Ryo who has the title of "Caesar". This duel is destined to be a very exciting duel.

Marufuji Sho: "My brother's opponent is actually the world champion Mr. Ed. The outcome is unpredictable now!"

Misawa Daichi: "It's been a year since Kaisar Ryo graduated, but I wonder how much he has grown!"

Wanzhangmuzhun: "Hmph, to be honest, I won't be surprised no matter who wins this duel. After all, their strength is there!"

Asuka Amajiro: "Juyo, who do you think has a better chance of winning?"

Yuki Judai: "Well, I think it should be 40% and 60% respectively. After all, this guy Ed is completely different from before!"

Seeing that both contestants had unfolded their duel disks, Principal Chronos said loudly, "Very good, since both contestants are ready, I declare the second game officially open!"

"Duel!" X2

Ed LP4000

Ryo Marufuji LP4000

"Mr. Ed, can you give me the initiative?"

"Of course, please go ahead!"

"Thank you. It's my turn now. Draw a card!"

With Ed's consent, Marufuji Ryo took the first round and started his own operations.

"I Normal Summon, Cyber ​​Dragon Core, Attack Position!" (Attack 400 Defense 1500)

First, he summoned Cyber ​​Dragon's starting monster, and Marufuji Ryo said, "Activate the special effect of Cyber ​​Dragon Core!"

"As long as this monster's card name exists on the field or in the Graveyard, it can be used as a Cyber ​​Dragon. In addition, if this monster is successfully summoned, I can add a Spell or Trap Card with the characters Cyber ​​and Artificial Brain from my deck to my hand."

"According to this effect, the card I'm going to add to my hand is the Magic Card Electron Load Combination!"

After retrieving a card from the deck, Marufuji Ryo then inserted two cards into the duel disk.

"I cover two cards in my backfield and end my turn!"

Seeing that Marufuji Ryo had ended his turn so easily, Ed smiled and said, "Interesting start. Now it's my turn. Draw a card!"

After checking his hand, Ed first placed his signature monster on the duel disk.

"Activate the magic card, Angel's Charity. According to the effect of this card, I can draw three cards and discard two."

"Next, I will Normal Summon the Destiny Hero Diamond Man, and place it in Attack Position!" (Attack 1400 Defense 1600)

"This monster's special effect is that once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can activate it. I can flip over the top card of my deck, and if it's a Normal Spell Card, send it to the Graveyard. If not, put it back to the bottom of the deck. If you send a Normal Spell Card to the Graveyard with this effect, during your next Main Phase, you can activate the effect of that Normal Spell Card in the Graveyard when it's activated."

Once again it was time to check his luck, and Ed confidently displayed the top card of his deck.

"The card I drew is, Magic Card Fusion Birth!" (Original comic)

"Due to the effect of Destiny Hero Diamond Magic, during the Main Phase of my next turn, I can activate this card!"

"Next, I will continue to activate the Continuous Magic Card Split!" "The effect of this card is that when a Fusion Monster on the field is destroyed, you can Special Summon a Fusion Material Monster in your Graveyard that was used when fusing that Fusion Monster!"

After setting up his backfield, Ed then displayed the fusion of the magic cards in his hand.

"Magic card fusion activates!"

"The fusion condition of this monster is two heroic monsters with the name of destiny!"

"Now, I will send the Destiny Hero Decision Magician in my hand and the Destiny Hero Diamond Magician on the field to the Graveyard as fusion materials!"

"My unyielding faith will cut through all the darkness for me. In the name of freedom, please pave the way forward for me!"

"Fusion Summon, Destiny Hero Dystopia, attack position!" (ATK 2800, DEF 2400) (Original effect, does not limit the level of effect damage of the selected monster.)

"The special effect of Dystopia Demon is activated!"

After successfully summoning his trump card monster, Ed showed a card from the graveyard to John and said loudly: "When this monster is successfully Fusion Summoned, you can target a monster that is the Fusion Material of this card and activate it, and you can inflict damage to the opponent's monster equal to the attack power of that monster."

"The Fate Hero Decisive Magician in my hand has 1600 attack points. According to this effect, you will receive the same amount of damage!"

"Caesar, take this 1600 points of damage!"

"Dark Souls!"

Under Ed's command, a black gravity missile quickly condensed in the hands of the Dystopian Demon Warrior and hit Marufuji Ryo accurately!

It seemed that he had been prepared for a long time. When the Dystopian Demon Man launched the attack, Marufuji Ryo had already made preparations for defense.

Bang!

The black gravity missile exploded in front of Marufuji Ryo. As the person involved, Marufuji Ryo endured this wave of damage without moving.

Marufuji LP4000＞ 2400

"Oh? You haven't activated your backcourt cover card yet?" Ed keenly noticed that the electronic dragon core placed by Marufuji Ryo on the frontcourt seemed to be a bait monster. After thinking it over, he raised his hand and showed a card.

"The special effect of the Destiny Hero Daggerman is activated!" (Original anime!)

"The effect of this card is that you can activate it by discarding this card from your hand, and you can increase the ATK of all Destiny Hero monsters on your field by 800 points."

Destiny Hero Dystopia Magician Attack Power 2800＞3600

Having successfully increased the attack power of his monster, Ed raised his finger and pointed at the Dystopian Demon.

"Dystopia Demon's second special effect is activated!"

"Once per turn, when this card's attack or defense changes, you can target a card on the field and destroy that card's effect. This effect can also be activated during your opponent's turn."

(Note: the original attack power will not be restored after the anime original effect is activated.)

"Now, I will use the Cyber ​​Dragon Core in your front field as the target of the effect and destroy this monster!"

Click!

The gravity ball was thrown out from the hand of the Dystopian Demon again, and after hitting the electronic dragon core accurately, it directly broke it into pieces!

"Oh my, it's like this and the effect of covering the card hasn't been activated yet?" Ed was stunned for a moment with some surprise, and his expression became more and more confused.

After all, his Dystopian Demon Knight now has 3600 points of attack power. Facing Marufuji Ryo who has only 2400 points of health left, the latter naturally cannot withstand this wave of attacks.

"Well, in that case, let me see what tricks you are playing!"

"Destiny hero, Dystopia Demon, attack the other player directly!"

"Gravity Missile!"

As the saying goes, the arrow is on the string and has to be shot. Although he knew that there were still two cover cards in the opponent's backcourt that had not been activated, for Ed, who was in the second turn, if he didn't step on the cover card, it would remain there forever!

Therefore, facing Marufuji Ryo who had lost the protection of the monster, Ed had enough reasons not to give up the opportunity for this direct attack.
