Yu-Gi-Oh!: Ultimate Duelist

"What!" Pierre's face changed suddenly when he heard this. The smug smile on his face froze in an instant, replaced by shock and fear.

There was no time to react. The energy beam ejected by the Kaihuang Dragon was like an out-of-control meteor, easily breaking through the seemingly indestructible protective shield.

At the moment of penetrating the Scissor Tiger, light flashed, and the powerful energy aftermath rushed directly towards Pierre like a surging tsunami.

"Boom", a deafening explosion sounded, and Pierre's health points instantly dropped to zero.

The entire square suddenly fell into silence, only Lin Hao stood there with a calm expression.

……

Before long, the crowd in the square was like a powder keg that had been lit, and they were instantly in an uproar, talking a lot.

"This monster is not affected by the effect and its attack power is still so high. Isn't there any solution?" A young man frowned and said helplessly.

"That's not the case. Unless you can summon a monster with higher attack power than it, there's no way to destroy it." A duelist wearing glasses next to him agreed, pushing his glasses on the bridge of his nose, with a hint of worry in his expression.

"A monster with an attack power of up to 5000 points. Let's not even talk about whether it exists, just being able to summon it is a big problem." A girl shook her head and sighed.

"I feel that this monster should not be weaker than the God Card, or even a little stronger." A fashionable teenager exclaimed.

"This is simply an invincible existence. How can we beat him?" A small duelist yelled in frustration.

"We can't win, we can't win at all. Forget it, I'd better go somewhere else to have a look." As he said that, several people left one after another.

……

Soon, the square, which was originally crowded and bustling, became deserted like a beach after the tide went out, and the crowds immediately scattered.

Lin Hao quietly watched Pierre slowly getting up from the ground, and said calmly: "Since you lost, then according to the agreement, show me your deck and let me choose a card."

Pierre's face turned pale in an instant. He took out his deck very reluctantly and then slowly handed it to Lin Hao as if he was cutting meat.

Lin Hao took the deck, flipping through it lightly with his slender fingers, and quickly said, "I'll take this [Fusion Preparation]."

He then returned the deck to Pierre and took his transparent chip card.

Lin Hao turned to look at An Youxi and said, "The crisis is over, let's go too."

An Youxi nodded slightly and said gratefully, "Lin Hao, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, I would have been forced to duel with them."

Lin Hao waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's okay. I just happened to come across it. It just happened to happen. Besides, I also got several boxes of chip cards, right?"

An Youxi said, "You earned all that with your own abilities. Ahem... I'll go back and rest now. See you in the finals. Don't show any mercy then."

Lin Hao nodded and said, "Okay, let's compete in the finals."

……

Lin Hao was walking alone on the road. The sky gradually darkened, like a piece of black silk slowly covering the earth.

He was about to find a place to eat when suddenly, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from his ear: "Lin Hao?"

"Huh?" Lin Hao subconsciously turned his head and saw a tall, thin man standing there, nearly 1.9 meters tall. He was wearing a simple white T-shirt and blue jeans, and his figure looked particularly slender.

"Who are you?" A hint of doubt flashed in Lin Hao's eyes and his brows frowned slightly.

"Hey, you don't recognize me? Guess what." The tall and thin man said with a smile.

Lin Hao looked the man up and down and saw that although his face still had some of its former features, his overall temperament had changed greatly.

Lin Hao asked tentatively: "Are you Huang Zhirong?"

Huang Zhirong nodded excitedly and said, "Yes, it's me. How is it? Has it changed a lot?"

Lin Hao nodded and said, "The change is so great that I almost couldn't recognize it."

Although Huang Zhirong was Lin Hao's elementary school classmate, they were in the same school in junior high school and they would occasionally meet.

But in my memory, Huang Zhirong in the third grade of junior high school was only 1.5 meters tall. He was still a young boy at that time. Now he is nearly 1.9 meters tall. It is difficult for anyone to connect the two.

Huang Zhirong smiled and said, "I don't know what happened, it seems like I grew so tall all of a sudden."

At this time, Lin Hao asked: "Why are you here? Are you here to participate in the event as well?"

Huang Zhirong shook his head and said, "How can I be qualified to participate in this event? I just followed Zhou Yu here to see it for myself."

Zhou Yu was also Lin Hao's former classmate, but as time passed, they had not been in touch for many years.

Lin Hao couldn't help but nodded and said, "It seems like he's doing pretty well."

Huang Zhirong said: "Many of our former classmates followed him."

After a pause, Huang Zhirong raised his duel disk and said, "If I hadn't followed him, I don't know when I would have become a duelist."

At this time, Lin Hao became interested and asked curiously: "Oh, what does he do? Why is he so successful?"

Huang Zhirong said: "It was also luck. After graduating from junior high school, he stopped studying. Then, by chance, he met Xiang Qian in Hong Kong Island."

After a pause, Huang Zhirong continued, "You know Zhou Yu. He's very good at talking, quick-witted, and extremely talented in card duels. With Xiang Qian's help, he quickly became a powerful duelist."

Lin Hao sighed: "That is indeed quite impressive."

At this time, Huang Zhirong said enthusiastically: "We are all old classmates. It's been so long since we last met. Let's get together."

Hearing this, Lin Hao suddenly became hesitant.

After all, although they were once familiar with each other, there had been a gap of several years between them. If they were to suddenly get together, he was worried that they would be in an awkward situation where they would have nothing to say.

As if noticing Lin Hao's hesitation, Huang Zhirong strode forward, put his arm around Lin Hao's shoulders, and said cheerfully, "Let's go. It's just a meal. What's there to hesitate about?"

Lin Hao had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay then."

……

Lin Hao and Huang Zhirong walked together. On the way to the meeting place, Huang Zhirong excitedly talked about Zhou Yu's outstanding achievements over the years, which made him full of curiosity and admiration for this old classmate.

When they arrived at a private room in a magnificently decorated restaurant, Zhou Yu was sitting at the main seat, surrounded by several former classmates, chatting and laughing.
