Chapter 448
Right in the center of White Dragon Island, the organizers of the competition officially held an award ceremony. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, You Xuan was officially awarded the title of the new generation Duel King.
Well, of course, there's also a hefty bonus.
After all, this was a competition hosted by the Kaiba Group, and the Duel City of all generations had never been stingy with the prize money. This year, the president personally participated in the competition, and the title of Duel King was at stake, which made it more meaningful than in the past, so the prize money was naturally more generous.
You Xuan has been purchasing a lot of card decks recently, not only to supplement his own deck, but also for a large number of scientific research purposes.
Although his laboratory has always had research funds, the funds need to be divided among multiple project teams. You Xuan also invests in the research of his own frequently used card decks from time to time. Many cards are purchased for research purposes, and with the addition of various equipment and facilities, a lot of his savings have been spent.
Fortunately, he spent less than he earned. This wave of money immediately used up most of his savings, or even more than that. It seemed that he would not be short of money for a long time to come.
And this was just the bonus. Now that he had become the Duel King, his fame and influence would only grow. With his fame, he would receive more investment, and his funding would certainly be more sufficient than before.
In addition, if he is interested, he will certainly be offered advertising endorsements, public events, and paid attendance at various events in the future. Fame and strength can bring countless opportunities, and it all depends on personal interests.
However, although there is more funding, it may not be enough to spend.
Scientific research is a bottomless pit. For example, the development funds invested by Haima Group in various departments every year are absolutely astronomical figures.
Moreover, You Xuan made a lot of money during his trip to Duel City, even if the rewards of the competition were excluded. Just from the Judge, there were the Dark Armed Dragon that wreaked havoc on the environment, Yubel, who was quite rare even though his potential was not developed, the Elemental Hero that was used to stir up Hongye's mentality, and the whole family bucket of Orichalcum from the Serpent God himself.
Olihagang's barrier can't be used casually. Although the effect is very strong, the buff that requires soul extraction once it is activated is very annoying. As a fair and upright person, You Xuan disdains to use such an evil thing.
Not to mention that this thing also has the ominous debuff of "whoever uses it will die". Although the Judge did rely on his strength to break the curse and beat Xiang Hongye in the barrier, this one game alone was not enough to erase the glorious record of this barrier in the past.
Not to mention that this thing is suspected to be directly related to the cunning snake. Although the snake seems to be dead now, it also said that it will never die as long as the darkness in people's hearts is not extinguished. What if the barrier is used too much and the cunning snake takes advantage of it and resurrects, wouldn't it be terrible?
So let’s forget about this stuff.
But there are quite a few amazing cards among the original cards printed by Doma. A few cards from the Olihagang series were also released in the real cards many years later. Although the effects have been modified beyond recognition, they have become useless to fill the nostalgia of card boxes when they were released, but they are not useless in the early environment and have development potential.
However, the most valuable gain of this trip was definitely Yubel.
Future players will all know how high Yubel's potential is. Although many of the new series are old cards used in Yubel's animation, their strength has been raised by several dimensions. If one or two can be printed, they will be incredible trump cards.
Winning the Duel King title seemed like reaching the top, but not much of the work at hand was accomplished, and the to-do list only grew longer.
To others, the battle in Duel City might have seemed like a god of war, but in You Xuan's own eyes, it was the first time he felt he had vaguely touched his limits, and he understood even more that he could not slack off in the future.
In the final two battles, there was the blessing of the Sealing Device and even the assistance of the Winged Dragon, which greatly improved the duelists. But he knew that this was not his own strength, at least not at this stage.
After the God of Orichalcum was eliminated and the Judge was completely disintegrated and destroyed, he picked up the Pterosaur card from the Duel Plate, held it in his hand and looked at it for a moment, then he saw a golden light flashing on the card.
The golden light gradually dimmed, as if it had also taken away the supreme power contained in the card. At first, the image of the card gradually became blurred, and then the text below it, as if the golden light turned into a stream of water, washing away all the information on the card.
Finally, until all the content disappeared, the card itself began to fade, and finally turned into a floating golden light and disappeared from his hand.
You Xuanxin understood.
After all, he is not the Pharaoh, nor is he a member of the tomb-keeping clan or a person related to the Millennium Artifact. The Winged Dragon appeared only to follow the Pharaoh's orders and to deal with the God of Olihagang. Now that its mission is completed, it will naturally go back to find its master.
If I must say, I just became familiar with Pteranodon this time, and we are more or less comrades in arms. But I can't say if I can show some respect to him when we meet again in the future.
The light of the Sealed Device also dimmed, and then returned to its pre-match appearance, with a dim luster and no movement. However, this device did not disintegrate and disappear, but remained in You Xuan's hands, just temporarily stopping.
I don’t know if I can activate it again if there is another opportunity in the future.
But You Xuan didn't think much about it.
He had a feeling that his fate with the Sun God was more than just this. There was still a long time to come, and there would be a chance to see him again.
There is still a long way to go and he still has a lot to do.
Just as in reality, Yu-Gi-Oh is a game that is constantly evolving and updating, the same is true in the anime. From Duel Kingdom to Duel City, and then to the subsequent anime, the rules and cards are constantly being improved and evolved.
With the full efforts of institutions around the world to develop and archaeological institutions digging all over the world, it is inevitable that the card system will become more mature, the series will become more perfect with development and completion, and the effect will become stronger and stronger.
Even the representative powerhouses of that year, such as Yugi and Kaiba, had a large number of new cards and new vests after their appearance a few years later, and they would invest in new decks in line with the changes of the times.
If you can't keep up with the new era, even the former strong ones will be at risk of being eliminated. The real strong ones will continue to become stronger as time goes by, and even their version will evolve faster than others.
A typical example is the president. He was one of the best in his time, and over the years he has been several generations ahead of the environment and has made rapid progress.
Although You Xuan has temporarily reached the top, he also knows that in a duel, if you don't move forward, you will fall behind. In the future, he must move forward at a faster speed to avoid being surpassed by those who come later.
"After the fall of Dazhi, the remnants regrouped and became what they are now. But that won't happen again."
Kaiba Seto said in a deep voice.
"This time, I will make sure these bastards are doomed."
Now that the leader has been cut down and the Three Musketeers have been defeated, the president is obviously preparing to liquidate the remaining small fry.
You Xuan's eyes lit up after hearing this.
By the way, the influence of New Doma is spread all over the world, and its unique card printing technology is not weak. The three musketeers each took out a lot of unique goodies, and the judge alone had a lot of epic equipment.
If we could get our hands on their Inca arsenal, wouldn’t there be even more rare treasures?
So You Xuan immediately took a step forward to express his position.
"Count me in." He said to the president righteously, "As the Duel King now, I also have the responsibility and obligation to contribute to the construction of a bright future for the duel world!"
