Yu-Gi-Oh!: Ultimate Duelist

In the duel arena where the atmosphere was so tense that one's heart seemed to jump out of one's throat, a thrilling duel had just come to a shocking end.

As Lin Hao delivered that amazing final blow, the entire duel arena erupted in applause as warm as a storm. The applause was like surging waves, one wave higher than the other, as if it was about to overturn the entire venue.

Everyone was amazed by Lin Hao's wonderful performance. Their eyes were full of admiration and surprise, and their mouths were open so wide that it seemed as if an egg could fit in.

"Wow! I didn't expect Lin Hao to pull off a comeback." A bespectacled teenager widened his eyes in disbelief, shaking his head and sighing, "I really thought he was doomed just now. This is so unexpected! How did he do it? Does he have some secret weapon?"

His companion beside him was equally stunned, his mouth wide open, nodding repeatedly. "Yeah, I was prepared for him to fail, but I didn't expect him to be able to turn the situation around. This is simply incredible! His tactics and strategy are simply admirable."

Not far away, several girls were whispering.

"It's a pity for Wang Kexin, she was so close to winning." A girl with a ponytail said regretfully, with a look of regret on her face. She frowned slightly, as if she felt sorry for Wang Kexin.

The short-haired girl next to him also agreed, "Yeah, who could have imagined this outcome? Lin Hao actually held on for so long in such an unfavorable situation. If it were me, I would have surrendered long ago. I don't have his perseverance and courage."

The girl with the ponytail glanced at her and said, "So, your willpower is still not enough. Lin Hao's perseverance is really worth learning from. He didn't give up in such difficult situations. That's what a true duelist looks like."

The short-haired girl nodded thoughtfully. "That's the fun of dueling, isn't it? It's always full of infinite possibilities, and it always makes people look forward to it. Maybe a miracle will happen in the next second. I will also learn from Lin Hao in the future. No matter what difficulties I encounter, I will never give up easily."

In the duel arena, Lin Hao nodded to Wang Kexin who walked off the arena with a look of regret on her face. His eyes showed both respect for his opponent and indifference after victory.

His figure appeared particularly tall and straight under the light, like an unshakable mountain.

Wang Kexin lowered her head, her face full of disappointment and resignation. She bit her lip tightly, as if blaming herself for her failure, tears glistening in her eyes.

After a while, she raised her head, looked at Lin Hao, and said, "You won this time, but I will definitely not lose next time. I will work harder, improve my strength, and I will definitely defeat you next time."

Lin Hao smiled slightly and responded, "I look forward to our next duel. I believe you will become even stronger, and then we can have another exciting duel."

At the same time, the system's voice rang out in Lin Hao's mind: "Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the side quest. Reward: 4000 contribution points, unlocking the advanced magic card pack."

Hearing this voice, Lin Hao immediately felt happy both physically and mentally.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his eyes sparkled with excitement, as if he saw countless precious magic cards waving at him.

This is not only a reward for his efforts, but also his hope for greater victory in future duels.

When Lin Hao came to the side of the head teacher Gao Hongliang, Gao Hongliang smiled and said to Lin Hao: "Not bad, not bad. Your performance this time has the style of mine back then."

Lin Hao asked curiously, "Teacher, what was your demeanor like back then? Did you often come back from desperate situations like me?"

Gao Hongliang raised his chin slightly, revealing a smug smile as he said, "I'm the type who wins all the time. Back then, I was a formidable figure in the dueling arena, unbeatable. My tactics and strategies back then were truly feared by many opponents."

Lin Hao deliberately dragged out his voice and said, "Oh... Teacher, stop bragging. If you are so powerful, why don't you participate in the duel now?"

Gao Hongliang glared at him and said, "Hey, don't disbelieve me. My strength back then wasn't exaggerated. Now I'm giving you young people the opportunity to show your talents. I'll just be there to guide you and watch you grow."

Lin Hao smiled and said, "Then, teacher, please tell me about your glorious achievements back then. Let me learn from you. Maybe I can be as powerful as you in the future."

Gao Hongliang waved his hand and said, "A hero never brags about his past achievements. Now it's your turn as young people to rule the world. You must work hard and create your own glory."

"After saying that, Gao Hongliang turned around and looked at the duel arena seriously, as if he was looking at a peerless beauty.

His eyes were filled with memories and emotion, perhaps he was recalling his glorious days in the dueling arena.

On the other side, Huang Yao whispered beside Lin Hao: "Lin Hao, why don't you explain how you have so many decks?"

Hearing this, Lin Hao stammered, "Well... I said I found it in the trash can, do you believe me?"

Huang Yao said with a frown on her face, "Okay, forget it. Everyone has secrets. It's okay if you don't tell them."

Lin Hao just smiled and said nothing.

……

The presiding teacher walked to the duel arena with steady steps. His voice was clear and powerful, echoing throughout the venue: "Thank you both for bringing us such a wonderful duel. In this duel, Lin Hao won with his tenacious perseverance and excellent tactics."

The teacher paused, scanning the audience, and continued, "But don't be discouraged, Wang Kexin. As long as you win the next three-to-one duel, you still have a chance to pass the school selection. Everyone should know that failure is not terrible. What is terrible is losing the courage to challenge again."

"Okay, next, please invite Ding Sheng and Liu Qing to come up and duel." As soon as the teacher finished speaking, the audience burst into warm applause.

The applause was as loud as thunder, as if cheering for a new duel that was about to begin.

In the duel hall, Ding Sheng was dressed in black, his eyes firm and sharp. He took steady steps, each step carrying a powerful aura, like a general about to go to war.

At the same time, Liu Qing also strode over. He was wearing a white robe, with an upright posture, long hair tied up, and his eyes revealed confidence and composure.

After the two met, they nodded to each other and said in unison: "Duel!"

This short and powerful statement, like a battle horn, instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the entire duel arena.

The audience held their breath, looking forward to what excitement and surprises this new duel would bring.
