Yu-Gi-Oh!: Ultimate Duelist

Lin Hao walked alone in the deep and quiet forest. The fallen leaves under his feet made a slight rustling sound, as if telling the mysterious story of this ancient forest.

He kept Zhang Shujie's words in mind and walked firmly towards the location of the card graveyard step by step.

The sunlight shines through the dense branches and leaves, casting spots of light, but it cannot dispel the mysterious atmosphere that permeates the forest.

Lin Hao didn't know how long he had been walking. Time seemed to have lost its meaning in this silent forest.

Suddenly, a strange wave came from the depths of the forest, and then many white ghost-like things flew over like a tide.

Lin Hao took a closer look and immediately recognized them as card elves. They emitted a soft glow and had ethereal forms, like mysterious ghosts moving through the forest.

Without waiting for Lin Hao to speak, these card elves rushed towards him at an extremely fast speed.

Lin Hao subconsciously wanted to dodge, but he didn't have time to react.

However, just when he was extremely nervous, those card elves passed through his body without any hindrance, as if he was just a non-existent phantom.

Afterwards, these card elves ran away as quickly as they came, and disappeared without a trace.

Lin Hao shook his head helplessly and continued to move forward.

Not long after, a big pit appeared in front of Lin Hao.

This big pit suddenly appeared in the forest, as if it was dug by some mysterious force.

The pit was filled with cards, except for a few stubborn weeds.

Some of these cards emit a faint light, while others appear dim, as if telling different stories.

Lin Hao's eyes lit up, and excitement surged in his heart. He was about to pick up the cards and study them carefully.

At this moment, three card elves wearing shorts suddenly appeared in front of Lin Hao.

These three card elves have different forms, but they all exude a unique aura. Lin Hao immediately recognized the three in front of him as the three disruptive brothers.

Disturb Black spoke first, its voice low and powerful: "Who are you?" Its words were full of vigilance and confusion.

Disturb Green then asked, "What are you doing here?" There was a hint of curiosity in its eyes.

The disturbing yellow said in a bad tone: "Have you forgotten that you abandoned us here?" Its face was full of anger and dissatisfaction.

Lin Hao smiled and said, "I am a duelist, I want to take you out."

"What?" The three disturbing brothers were surprised and said in unison.

Disturbing Black said with disbelief, "Are you planning to take us out and sell us?"

Disruption Huang said: "Maybe they will take us out and throw us somewhere else."

Disturbing Green said, "Will you take us out and burn it?"

"Wow, that's so scary!" The three disturbing brothers were so scared that they hugged each other and cried bitterly.

Lin Hao was speechless for a moment. These three elves were just too fond of imagining things. He quickly said, "Stop, stop, stop. I'm really taking you out."

Fearing that the three elves wouldn't believe him, Lin Hao added, "After all, you don't have anything valuable, so why would I need to plot against you?"

Disturb Huang said: "It seems to be true."

Disturbing Black said, "It seems like they really are going to take us out then."

Disturbance Green had already jumped onto Lin Hao's shoulder and said, "Woo woo, someone finally took us out. From now on, you will be our big brother."

At this moment, the entire forest seemed to be stirred, and suddenly a large number of card elves appeared. They gathered around and shouted, "Please take us out too."

Lin Hao smiled and said, "No problem, I'll take you all out."

A strong sense of responsibility surged in his heart. He knew that these card elves had been forgotten in this forest for too long. They longed for the outside world and new opportunities.

Others may think that these weak monsters are useless, but Lin Hao knows how powerful they are.

……

The twilight of dusk fell on the campus gate, casting a golden veil over this vibrant and youthful institution. At the school gate, many students walked in groups of three or five, laughing and talking happily, enjoying the most relaxing moment of the day.

Lin Hao returned to school with steady steps, his figure looking particularly tall in the setting sun.

Along the way, he saw many people pointing at him, as if they were discussing something.

"Who is that person? He looks unfamiliar, and he even has a duel disk." A classmate asked curiously.

"There are many people in our school who have duel disks. How can we know them all?" another classmate responded.

"Hey, this guy seems to be Lin Hao who defeated Tan Cheng the day before yesterday." A sharp-eyed classmate suddenly recognized him.

"Who is Tan Cheng? I've never heard of him." An uninformed classmate asked in confusion.

"Tan Cheng is one of the top five duelists in our grade," explained the classmate who recognized Lin Hao.

"Tsk, I don't even know who your freshman duelists are. There are only about 10 to 20 of them." A senior classmate said disdainfully.

"But there are only about forty duelists in your senior year. How bad can they be?" the freshman retorted unconvincedly.

At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Everyone come over here quickly, there's something interesting to watch."

Lin Hao was walking when suddenly three people approached him. The leader had a look of disdain on his face, his eyes filled with arrogance and provocation. He looked Lin Hao up and down and asked, "Are you the Lin Hao who defeated Tan Cheng?"

Lin Hao looked at him expressionlessly and said calmly, "Since you already know everything, what else is there to ask?"

The man sneered and said, "Now that you have the duel disk, do you dare to duel with me?"

At this moment, Lin Hao's system suddenly issued a task: "Ding, side quest released: Defeat the opponent as quickly as possible. If you defeat the opponent within one round, you will be rewarded with 1,000 contribution points. If you defeat the opponent after more than ten rounds, there will be no reward."

Lin Hao was delighted. He didn't expect that he would receive a pillow just when he was dozing off.

After all, he had just obtained the Duel Disk and was itching to duel with someone. Now that someone had come to challenge him, there was no reason to refuse.

"Come on, let me see how strong you are." Lin Hao said with a smile, his eyes full of confidence and expectation.

Soon, the duel began.

"It's my turn, draw a card." The other party's voice was full of confidence, as if he was sure to win.

"Summon [Blind Goblin] in Attack Position (ATK 1800/DEF 1500)." As he summoned, a small but menacing goblin appeared on the field.

"Activate the equipment magic card [Sword of Obsession]. Its effect is: Increase the equipped monster's attack and defense by 500 points." A ray of light flashed, and the attack power of [Blind Goblin] instantly increased to 2300 points.
