Yu-Gi-Oh!: Ultimate Duelist

Chen Zhiyong, who was in the crowd, smiled and said, "Yes, this loser can actually summon a high-level monster. It's beyond my expectation." Chen Zhiyong's face was full of pride, as if victory in this duel was already his. His eyes were full of anticipation, as if he was expecting Jiang Tao's victory.

Mo Liang smiled and said, "As long as he defeats Lin Hao this time, our plan will be successful. Maybe, Brother Yong, you can advance to the next round in place of Lin Hao tomorrow." Mo Liang's eyes were filled with anticipation, as if he had already seen the moment of Chen Zhiyong's victory. His face was filled with excitement, as if he was happy with his plan.

Chen Zhiyong nodded and smiled, "Even if I don't have a chance of advancing to the next round, I don't want Lin Hao to have an easy time." Chen Zhiyong's eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness, as if he was filled with hatred for Lin Hao. His hands were clenched tightly, revealing his inner anger.

……

Lin Hao watched Jiang Tao's series of operations, and couldn't help but twitch his lips. He said speechlessly, "Hey, this [Gaia, the Dark Knight of the Wind] of mine has the effect of being able to summon it directly without sacrifice when there are no cards in your hand. You only have that monster left in your hand just now, why did you sacrifice the monster on the field as a sacrifice to summon it?"

Lin Hao's eyes were full of helplessness, as if he was looking at a naughty child.

Lin Hao's words were like a big slap in the face of Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao hurriedly looked at the card on the duel disk and found that it was indeed the effect. He suddenly felt dizzy.

But he still managed to hold on and said, "I...I...I feel that the attack power of the two monsters on the field is too weak. Can't I replace them with a stronger monster?"

A trace of panic appeared on Jiang Tao's face, but he quickly suppressed it, replacing it with an expression of pretending to be calm.

He secretly gave himself a thumbs up in his heart. After all, his excuse was pretty good.

However, when everyone at the scene heard this explanation, they suddenly burst into laughter.

"Haha, that Jiang Tao is so funny!" A classmate clutched his stomach, nearly crying with laughter. "He's just completely blindly operating it. He obviously doesn't use a simpler summoning method." His face was filled with mockery, as if he were watching a clown show.

"You clearly don't know the effect of the monster, but you still force yourself to hold on." Another classmate shook his head, a helpless look on his face.

"This Jiang Tao is too unreliable. He keeps saying that he wants to prove his strength." His eyes were full of disappointment, as if he was very dissatisfied with Jiang Tao's performance.

"A guy like that still wants to be a duelist? How ridiculous." A girl curled her lips, a look of disdain on her face. "With his level, he's probably not even as good as a novice." Her eyes were filled with contempt, as if she was disgusted by Jiang Tao's behavior.

"I feel like he keeps saying he wants to prove himself, and I think he's right. He's quite comedic," a boy said with a smile, his eyes full of amusement. "Maybe he can become a comedic duelist." His eyes were filled with curiosity, as if he were observing a new phenomenon.

"He already made a fool of himself over something like this just now, and he's doing this again." A classmate frowned, his face showing dissatisfaction. "Can't he learn his lesson? He's just embarrassing himself." His eyes were filled with anger, as if he was extremely disgusted with Jiang Tao's behavior.

"Doesn't this just prove he's stuck in his ways?" another classmate chimed in, shaking his head. "That's probably just his personality; it's impossible to change." His eyes were filled with disappointment, as if he was deeply dissatisfied with Jiang Tao's performance.

"No wonder some people are born bad at studying. I guess that's just the way it is," a classmate joked, a smirk on his face. "Not good at studying, not good at dueling, not good at anything." His eyes were filled with amusement, as if he were watching a clown show.

"Hey, hey, hey, classmate, stop the personal attacks! I might not be good at studying, but I'm a strong duelist," a classmate retorted, a look of dissatisfaction on his face. "You can't generalize, okay?" His eyes were filled with anger, as if he was very dissatisfied with the classmate's words.

"That's right, that's right. We poor students are just bad at studying, but that doesn't mean we can't duel," another classmate agreed, nodding. "Maybe we can make a difference in dueling." His eyes were filled with determination, as if he was defending the poor students.

"But no matter what, Jiang Tao has summoned a powerful monster, which puts Lin Hao in a difficult position," a classmate said worriedly, a look of nervousness on his face. "After all, the current state of Lin Hao's deck is unclear, and Jiang Tao has a high-attack monster." His eyes were filled with worry, as if he was worried about Lin Hao.

"Indeed, after all, the decks were stolen by Jiang Tao. The deck Lin Hao is using now might have been put together by him using those unused cards." Another classmate nodded, a worried look on his face.

"In this case, Lin Hao's chances of winning are much smaller." His eyes were full of suspicion, as if he was doubting Lin Hao's deck.

"Jiang Tao is too abominable! If Lin Hao loses, I'll personally teach him a lesson this time." A classmate clenched his fists, his face filled with anger. "We can't let him be so arrogant." His eyes were filled with determination, as if he was standing up for Lin Hao.

"But then again, Lin Hao is no ordinary guy. He's so calm in the face of this situation," another classmate said. "Maybe he has some amazing tricks up his sleeve," the classmate said with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"Yeah, Lin Hao's performance was excellent before, so he'll definitely be able to handle this situation as well," another classmate chimed in. "I think we can trust him," he said, raising his chin slightly, seeming to have great confidence in Lin Hao.

……

Despite being laughed at by everyone, Jiang Tao felt that he had secured the victory at this moment. He could not help but shout, "My turn is over. Next round, wait and see how I deal with you."

Jiang Tao's face showed a smug look, his eyes full of confidence. He folded his hands in front of his chest and raised his chin slightly, as if to show off to Lin Hao.

Lin Hao smiled and said, "Let's talk about it when you have the next round." Lin Hao showed a confident smile on his face, and his eyes revealed a calmness.

His voice was neither humble nor arrogant, making people feel his calmness.

Jiang Tao frowned when he heard this and asked, "What do you mean?"
