Chapter 379 The oriole is behind
"Ahhh, I lost."

Judai was lying on his back with his arms and legs spread out.

"I can't help it. Mr. Hongye is really strong."

Xiang Hongye walked up to him, smiled and sat down next to him.

"I was surprised. Judai is really amazing." He said, "I didn't expect there was a duelist like you who has such a deep bond with heroes and such a passion for duels.

To be honest, even I feel a little ashamed of myself.”

"Ahahahaha, everyone always says that."

Judai scratched his head, but then he remembered something.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Hongye seemed to be feeling a little uncomfortable during the duel just now."

Xiang Hongye remained silent and just looked away.

There was a hallucination-like sound in his ears, a demonic whisper.

"Duel, and burn out the little life you have left, world champion Hibiki Momiji."

It was as if from the deepest darkness, a pair of evil eyes were staring at him, grinning hideously.

"Every time you draw a card, it's like your deck called 'Life' is decreasing."

"But even so, you can't stop, right?"

"As a duelist"

"."

Xiang Hongye closed her eyes gently.

"Mr. Hongye?"

Judai sat up and called him worriedly. Hibiki Momiji came back to his senses.

"Sorry. I'm fine."

Then he silently took out his glasses from the inside pocket of his shirt and put them on, then reached out and gently patted Judai's shoulder.

"It was a very enjoyable duel. Thank you, Judai. It's great to meet a kid like you in the final arena."

"I'm glad to meet you, Momiji-san, too," Judai said, looking a little bewildered, "but what does 'the final arena' mean?"

Xiang Hongye smiled lightly and did not explain.

"You should also grow into a top-notch duelist in the future. So you must remember this." He said to Judai seriously, "No matter when or what opponent you fight, don't forget the feeling you have today.

You must learn to enjoy duels, and become a duelist who can use duels to bring happiness."

"Uh-oh."

Judai nodded dazedly.

But it seemed to be a matter of course to him.

Isn't dueling the happiest thing in the world?
"All right."

Xiang Hongye cheered up and stood up.

"I'm a little hungry after the duel. Are you hungry, Judai?"

"Hey, that's a little bit true now."

"It seems that the other qualified contestants haven't gathered yet, let's go eat something and wait."

The first people to collect all the puzzle cards and arrive at the designated location have completed the registration and received the list of the top eight. However, the next few places have not been decided yet, so there is no need for those who have registered first to wait here.

"Okay! Let's eat!" Judai was very happy.

Duel and eating are probably the happiest things in his life at this stage.

"What do you want to eat? My treat?"

"Hey, isn't this bad?"

"Ahahaha, no problem. You're welcome."

"."

The two figures gradually went away. But they didn't seem to notice that not far behind them, in a shadow behind the corner, a pair of malicious eyes were silently looking at them.

"Planet series, Earth. As the intelligence said, it is in the hands of Hibiki Momiji."

The man narrowed his eyes, looked straight at Xiang Hongye's back and sneered softly.

"The strongest hero on earth, world champion Hibiki Momiji is in the hands of a tough guy. Really, he only assigns me troublesome missions. This way."

The shadow narrowed his eyes, his gaze becoming increasingly cruel.

"Isn't it just that I have no choice but to get rid of this Xiang Hongye?"

But the black shadow didn't notice at all that there was a figure behind him.

It was so close that it was almost sticking to the black shadow. A gentle and calm voice sounded behind him: "Oh? Why do you want to kill him?"

The black shadow was startled and instinctively turned around and jumped back to distance himself, looking behind him vigilantly like a frightened rabbit.

Then he saw You Xuan appearing behind him like a ghost.

You Xuan looked at the man.

It was actually a girl. She was blonde, blue-eyed, and tall with a nice figure. She was instinctively crossing her arms across her chest in a defensive posture, looking at You Xuan with a wary look on her face.

"Don't act like that, and people will misunderstand you." You Xuan said helplessly, "People who don't know the truth might think I did something to you."

The woman then realized that she had overreacted. She lowered her arms and coughed to ease the embarrassment, then regained her calm demeanor as if she were the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Is this how Duel Academy headquarters teaches you to sneakily stalk girls?"

But while speaking, she never stopped to observe You Xuan vigilantly.

With her strength, she didn't even notice when this person came around behind her, and she didn't know when the other person noticed that she was secretly watching.
"Are you Riki Mackenzie?" You Xuan asked.

Rikki: “!”

This person even knows his own identity?

"As expected." You Xuan knew that he was not wrong.

Rikki Mackenzie is the top general under the comic boss Tragordia, but she was also coerced.

She is the daughter of Professor Mackenzie of the American Duel Academy. She discovered that Tragodia was possessed by Professor Mackenzie, so in order to keep her mouth shut, Tragodia separated a part of himself and forced it into her body, turning her into a doll at his mercy.

However, Ruiji is still good at dueling, at least from the comics, she easily beat Asuka. Later, she lost the duel against Misawa because of her personal calculations, but she was at ease throughout the duel, and her strength should be far above Misawa.

Then based on the original work, You Xuan immediately guessed that she should now also be the pioneer of the crayfish camp.

"Hmm? You Xuan, what's wrong?"

At this time, Keipi walked over and saw You Xuanzheng and Ruiji confronting each other.

Guiping naturally didn't recognize Ruiji. He took a look at her, but didn't see anything special about her except that she had fair skin and was pretty.

Ruiji withdrew her gaze from Yugen and walked towards Keiping.

"I have collected all six puzzle cards," she said. "I am going to advance."

"Oh, a contestant."

Keipi nodded and pointed somewhere along the coast.

"Go there and register. The staff there will give you a competition card as proof of your qualification for the quarterfinals."

"it is good."

Ruiji put away her competition card and turned to go in that direction.

For some reason, meeting Yugen's gaze made her feel very uneasy.

There's an illusion that something dangerous is staring at me.

After watching Ruiji go away, Keiping asked, "Why, are you from Doma?"

"That shouldn't be the case."

You Xuan looked at her receding back and smiled slightly.

"This elimination match might be more interesting than expected."
