Yu-Gi-Oh!: Ultimate Duelist

Li Si's relaxed expression instantly vanished upon seeing this, replaced by a look of astonishment. He couldn't help but feel a hint of despair, and exclaimed with wide eyes, "The attack power has actually reached 8000 points."

After a moment, Li Si managed to regain some composure. He forced a smile and said, "Haha, even if your attack power is 8000, my monster is in defense position. If you survive this turn, you will suffer the backlash of that magic card."

Then, he shook his head and sighed, "Alas, young people nowadays always do things so recklessly. They still lack social experience."

Lin Hao ignored his words and gave the order directly: "Enter the battle phase, [Electronic Terminator Dragon] (Attack 8000/Defense 2800) attack [Giant Shield Guardian] (Attack 100/Defense 2600)!"

Lin Hao continued, "Due to the effect of [Cyber ​​End Dragon]: When this card attacks a monster in Defense Position, it deals battle damage based on the amount by which its attack exceeds the monster's defense."

He paused, then said, "So, you're going to take 5400 points of damage."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong light shot out from the Cyber ​​Terminator Dragon and rushed straight towards the Giant Shield Guardian.

In an instant, a light flashed, and Li Si's health value quickly returned to zero as if the foundation had been sucked away.

Suddenly, Li Si's eyes became dull and he stood there blankly.

Seeing this, Lin Hao could only say softly, "Sorry to bother you."

After saying that, he turned around without hesitation and left.

……

Seeing Lin Hao approaching so quickly, the receptionist asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Sir, what's wrong with you? Can't you find Duel Arena No. 9?"

After hearing this, Lin Hao responded: "Oh, no, I have already succeeded in the challenge."

"Ah! So fast?" The front desk clerk was slightly stunned when he heard this.

However, he quickly realized that his reaction seemed a bit extreme, and said apologetically, "Sir, I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. Please wait a moment, let me confirm the specific situation first."

Lin Hao just nodded slightly to show his understanding.

At this moment, a system voice sounded in Lin Hao's mind without warning: "Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the side quest. I hereby reward you with three [Hell Emperor Dragons] and 3000 contribution points."

Then, the system's voice sounded again: "Ding, new side quest released: Become a three-star duelist."

Not long after, the front desk clerk put down the phone, a smile on his face again, and said to Lin Hao: "Congratulations, sir, after confirmation, you have indeed succeeded in the challenge and are now officially a two-star duelist. I will feedback your relevant information to the relevant departments later, and they will update you in a timely manner."

After hearing this, Lin Hao nodded to show that he understood. Then, as if he had thought of something, he asked, "I want to continue the challenge. Can you help me see if it's possible now?"

The front desk clerk was stunned at first, obviously not expecting Lin Hao to have such an idea, but he quickly reacted and said, "Okay, I'll help you check it right away."

After saying that, the front desk clerk quickly and skillfully operated the computer, his fingers tapping quickly on the keyboard, making a crackling sound.

After a while, he picked up the phone again, dialed a number, and whispered something.

Then, he raised his head and said to Lin Hao, "Sir, you can go to Duel Arena No. 11 to challenge now, but you may have to wait a little while. Mr. Zhong Zhen, who is in charge of defending the arena, is on his way here."

Upon hearing this, Lin Hao nodded again, thanked him, and turned to leave.

But just as he turned around, the familiar voice of the system rang out again: "Ding, limited-time mission released: Use scrap cards to challenge the defender of this tournament (only for today)."

"A successful challenge will reward you with three [Junk Guardians]; a failed challenge will seal three high-level card packs."

When Lin Hao heard this, his heart moved slightly, and without any hesitation, he decisively chose to accept the task.

After all, in his opinion, there is progress only when there is challenge, and the reward is quite tempting.

Looking at the time, he found that there was still some time before the challenge. Lin Hao thought, I should go and see the situation over at Times first.

Otherwise, if I devote myself to the challenge, I don’t know when it will end.

At this moment, Shidai was sitting in a chair bored, looking ahead with empty eyes, sighing from time to time, obviously getting a little impatient with waiting.

Suddenly, he saw Teacher Lin Hao coming over. He immediately perked up, quickly stood up, and asked, "Master, have you finished your work?"

Lin Hao shook his head slightly and said, "Not yet. So, I came to see how your progress is going."

After hearing this, Shidai shrugged helplessly and said with a bitter face, "Alas, it's only No. 1542's turn now. I still have to wait, and I don't know how long I have to wait."

Lin Hao patted Shidai's shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay, who knows, maybe you've already finished everything on your side, but I haven't yet."

After hearing this, Shidai couldn't help but laugh and said, "Haha, maybe we can do it together."

Afterwards, Lin Hao chatted briefly with Shidai for a few more words, said goodbye to him, and strode towards Duel Arena No. 11.

……

Lin Hao stayed quietly in the deserted Duel Arena No. 11, not knowing how long he had been waiting.

Finally, accompanied by the sound of a door being pushed open, a hurried figure appeared at the door, and then strode in.

The man looked at Lin Hao and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, there's a traffic jam on the road."

Lin Hao smiled slightly and responded, "It's okay."

After a brief pause, Lin Hao asked again: "Do you want to take a rest first?"

Zhong Zhen waved his hand and said simply, "No need, let's get started right away."

Lin Hao listened and nodded in response: "Okay."

……

"My turn, draw a card." Zhong Zhen was the first to break the silence and spoke.

"Summon [Gauntlet Warrior] (ATK 400/DEF 1600) in Defense Position, covering a card. End turn."

Zhong Zhen operated the duel disk in an orderly manner. As he finished speaking, a [Gauntlet Warrior] holding a shield and wearing heavy armor appeared on his field. The shield gleamed with metallic luster under the light.
