Chapter 424 Choose a Card
The hot lava fell, bringing the duel to an end. The audience outside the arena watched this scene, some with strange expressions, some with their mouths wide open. The whole audience was strangely silent for a moment, with nothing to say.

Such a duel represents the confrontation between the world's top masters today, and can be called a duel for the top position.

Who could have imagined it would end like this?
Lava Golem
And when the duel was over, before You Xuan put away the duel disk and the projection of the three-dimensional image disappeared, the burning iron fool seemed to turn around and glance at the seahorse behind him.

His eyes seemed a little embarrassed.

The general meaning is probably, sorry for eating your dragon, but a duel is not a personal vendetta.
Then the Lava Demon disappeared.

The seahorse let out a long breath.

He defended against the Dragon Clan's Hell Pot, the mirror with killing attributes, and the opponent's deep pit that he dug every two steps.

Hell, he even failed to defend against the "Dragons Must Die" race-specific newspaper dragon-destroying swordsman.

He defended them all, as he should have done.

The result is Lava Golem
Of course he remembered this thing. After all, he was there when Mr. Ma first took out this thing in Duel City.

At that time, Mr. Ma sent the Lava Demon to Jonouchi, contributing to famous scenes such as "Jounouchi's Death" and "Jounouchi's Flame". At that time, everyone present was surprised that there were such underworld monsters in the world.

In fact, compared to the early days, You Xuan's Lava Golem is actually slightly better than it was back then. The Lava Golem in Malik's hands originally dealt 700 damage to the owner during the preparation phase, but now, after ten years, this card has been slightly developed, and the damage has been upgraded to 1000 points, which is consistent with the Lava Golem after it was made into a real card.

Of course, this mere difference of 300 points in damage is generally not taken seriously.

However, Kaiba, who had personally experienced it, could feel that it was not just about the development of monsters.

You Xuan's ability to control the Lava Golem card has long surpassed that of Mr. Ma, the founder of this school of card arts.

Mr. Ameruda, who was also treated to the gift package by the Lava Demon last time, should feel the same way. Compared with this person, Malik is simply a sunny boy. In the literal sense, there is no irony.

"Ahem, the winner is—Fujiki Yugen!"

It was the experienced referee Isono who first broke the silence and announced the result.

If it was another referee in Kaiba's family, they would most likely check the president's eyes before making a verdict if they saw their president lose. But Isono had been with the president for many years and knew his temper well. No matter what happened, the president only recognized victory or defeat.

If he loses, he loses. He won't act like "the special rules of the Seahorse Group are used in this competition, so the previous victory or defeat doesn't count."

"elder brother!"

Keipi jumped onto the stage.

Kaiba gestured to him, indicating that everything was fine.

Then he walked towards You Xuan.

"Only half a year. Haha, to be honest, when I invited you to participate half a year ago, I really didn't expect you to reach such a high level in such a short time."

"It was a fluke." You Xuan nodded.

That was exactly what he was thinking. During the duel, he actually subtly realized that his condition was stronger than before, and he thought that this "Sealing Device" should have contributed to it.

Although there seemed to be no obvious signs of the artifact being activated, he could feel the increase in his "momentum", or in other words, the role it played in helping him resist the opponent's powerful "momentum".

No wonder dark duelists are willing to risk their lives to grab artifacts or cards with power, and often fight to the point of bloodshed. Even if you just hold extraordinary things without summoning or using them, they can still be a great boost to your strength.

Of course, this is very metaphysical, and it may also depend on the properties of the props and how to open them. For example, You Xuan has held this Sealing Device for a long time, and has played many gambling cards before, but so far, he has not seen any obvious effect.

Only at the beginning of this duel did he seem to feel the effect.

Perhaps it was because his opponent was Atem's 3,000-year-old enemy Kaiba, or perhaps it was because this duel was related to who would face the final boss, the Judge - after all, this artifact existed in order to face him.

"You have proven your ability as a duelist. Congratulations."

Kaiba said calmly.

"According to the Duel City rules, you can choose any card from me."

"Thank you, President." You Xuan said, "But I participated in the competition because I was invited to participate in the competition with the gift from the president. In the past six months, I have been taken care of by the president, Keipi, and Kaiba Group many times.

So let’s forget about it between us, I’ve already chosen the card that should be chosen.”

He really meant what he said. If you really counted, he had received more than one rare card from the president. In the past six months, he would go to the president's warehouse every once in a while to move boxes of rare cards back. He had received so many benefits that he couldn't even count them.

Just think of it as if the rare cards for this game have already been prepaid.

But Kaiba snorted heavily.

"You win, so don't complain. Just pick one. I won't frown even if you choose the Blue-Eyes Light Dragon."

You Xuan felt deeply that the president was righteous. The Kaiba president always kept his word, and if he insisted on not choosing or just picked a worthless card, he might offend him.

But even if the president said so righteously.
You Xuan felt helpless.

No, I don't even have a white dragon, what's the point of having your blue-eyed dragon?
As a mascot?
The same goes for other cards in the White Dragon system. After all, the entire system revolves around the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. No matter how rare or powerful the card is, without the White Dragon, wouldn't it just be a mascot?
You Xuan pondered for a moment and didn't know what to name, but suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.

"By the way, President. Just a quick question."

You Xuan thought about it and asked.

"I heard that there were originally four 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' in the world. Is it true that the fourth one is also in your possession?"

Kaiba raised an eyebrow.

Then he suddenly chuckled.

"Huh? You want the power of the Blue Eyes?"

"Just a question." You Xuan shrugged, "Of course I only heard the rumor and I don't know if it's true or not. If not."

"Hmph, even if there isn't one, what's the harm in giving you one of the Blue Eyes? Do you think I, Kaiba Seto, look like someone who can't stand losing?"

You Xuan said nothing.

No, he had no doubt that the president couldn't afford to lose. He knew that even if there were only three Blue-Eyes White Dragons, if he specifically asked for one, the president would most likely give it to him.

But if that happens, there will definitely be no peace in the future. President Kaiba will never give up until he wins back the blue eyes.

But if the legendary fourth one really exists.
"Yes." Kaiba said calmly, "That card does exist."
