Yu-Gi-Oh!: Ultimate Duelist

Tong Jianjun paused briefly, his expression becoming serious. He continued, "However, you must not become complacent because of this. You must not neglect your daily training and must complete it diligently. If you slack off, even if you are now a six-star Duelist, you will still not be eligible to participate in this important event on Iju Island."

Lin Hao nodded and responded, "Okay, I understand."

At this moment, Su Minghui and An Youxi, as if they had made an appointment, strode out from the bustling crowd at the same time and said in unison, "Instructor, we also want to challenge you."

When Tong Jianjun heard this, he suddenly felt a headache and it was extremely uncomfortable.

His face turned stern, and he sternly scolded, "You all want to challenge me, but have you given up on your normal training? Let's put the challenge aside for now and talk about it tonight. Now, everyone, get to training! No one is allowed to slack off! Get moving!"

……

Meanwhile, just as Tong Jianjun was saying this, Lin Hao suddenly heard the system's emotionless notification sound in his mind: "Ding, congratulations to the host for becoming a six-star duelist and exceeding the mission. Now unlocking the 'junk deck' and rewarding 15,000 contribution points. I hope the host will continue to work hard and improve his strength."

When Lin Hao heard the news, he was pleasantly surprised.

……

The days passed by peacefully and orderly like flowing water, spring went and autumn came, winter came and summer passed, and soon, a year slipped away quietly.

From within the mysterious and vast void, a strange, half-male and half-female voice emanated slowly, "Rabiel, this time when you go to Ishu Island, you must release your brother completely. Afterwards, coordinate with Zi Yan and the others with the Divine Cards and do everything you can to buy me as much time as possible. This is crucial to our entire subsequent plan."

Upon hearing this, Rabbi El frowned slightly and said, "Don't you want to come with us? If you come with us, our strength will be much greater, and our chances of success will be much greater."

The half-male and half-female voice echoed in the void again, continuing, "No, something unexpected has happened in Northern Europe. Two more gods are about to be born, and I must lead my men there to delay their birth. As you know, humans already have four gods. If two more come, we'll have absolutely no chance of winning."

Rabbi El thought for a moment and then asked, "Those Earthbound Gods are quite powerful. Why not have them join us and go to Ishu Island together? That way, our strength will be even greater."

"They haven't fully recovered yet. If they happen to encounter several incarnations of the Red Dragon on Izu Island, they may be completely sealed by the other party in their current state. That would be disastrous. So, it's better to let them stay here and recover their strength." The half-male and half-female voice explained patiently.

At this moment, a demon-like humanoid creature spoke cautiously, "Master, I have some latest news to report to you. The card elf we helped escape from Sakura Country a year ago has now arrived on Ishu Island. Do you think we should take some action..."

……

On this sunny day, Lin Hao, Lin Xue, Shidai and others traveled all the way and finally arrived at the prosperous and bustling Wanbei City.

As soon as she stepped into the city, Lin Xue looked around like a curious baby with her eyes wide open. Soon she noticed something strange and couldn't help but move closer to Lin Hao, asking with a puzzled look on her face, "Brother, look, why are there so many foreigners here?"

Lin Hao calmly explained, "You don't know this. This competition is open to the whole world. There are no national boundaries at all. Participants are divided only by age. Therefore, it naturally attracts many international masters to participate."

After hearing this, Shidai scratched his head and then asked, "So where should we go next?"

Lin Hao thought for a moment and said, "Let's go directly to the Duelist's Hall here. You know, only after we go there and get a transparent chip card can we officially participate in this competition."

As they talked, they walked towards the Duelist's Hall.

When they finally arrived at the Duelist's Hall in Bay North City, they were really surprised by the scene before them.

There was a huge crowd of people in front of the guild hall. The bustling crowd was like a dense swarm of ants, surrounding the entire guild hall.

The staff responsible for distributing transparent chip cards were also overwhelmed by the huge crowd. In order to allow everyone to receive the chip cards as soon as possible, they had to temporarily set up several distribution points in the square in front of the hall. But even so, the line was still very long.

Lin Xue looked at the endless line and couldn't help but complain, "There are too many people here. This line will take forever. It's really frustrating."

Lin Hao patted her shoulder and said with a soothing smile, "After all, the staff still need to carefully check everyone's identity information and confirm that it is correct before issuing the chip card, so the process will definitely be slow. There is no other way, let's just wait in line patiently, and we will eventually get our turn."

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from not far away: "Lin Hao, this way."

Lin Hao quickly turned around and saw that it was Cheng Zhinie waving at him.

He turned to Lin Xue and Shidai beside him and said, "You guys line up here first, I'll go over and see what's going on." After that, he raised his foot and walked quickly in the direction of Cheng Zhinie and others.

Cheng Zhinie saw Lin Hao coming over and said jokingly, "Lin Hao, you're a little late today."

Lin Hao didn't care and responded with a smile: "Earlier or later doesn't really make much difference. After all, this game won't be over in a short time. The highlight is still to come."

Lin Hao then asked, "By the way, have you all received your chip cards?"

An Youxi, who was standing by, heard this and said with a smile, "I've got it."

As he spoke, An Youxi raised the transparent chip card in his hand.

Cheng Zhinie also agreed, taking out the transparent chip card in his hand and shaking it in front of Lin Hao, saying: "Yes, and you see, there are indeed different patterns on it. Mine and Youxi's are different."
