Yu-Gi-Oh!: Ultimate Duelist

Tang Shengzhi said helplessly, "I activated the Equip Spell Card [Dragon's Secret Treasure]. This card's effect is: Only Dragon-Type monsters can equip it. The equipped monster's ATK and DEF increase by 1 points. I equipped it on the [Demon Dragon] on my field, so my Demon Dragon's ATK and DEF both increase by 300 (ATK 300/DEF 1800). End of turn."

After seeing the card he had drawn from the deck, Tan Cheng said with some pride, "It seems that the outcome between you and me will be decided in this round. Prepare to face defeat."

Tang Shengzhi snorted coldly and ignored Tan Cheng. After all, he only had one monster with an attack power of 1800 on the field. As long as Tan Cheng summoned a monster with an attack power of 800 or more, his health would be reduced to zero.

Tan Cheng continued, "I'll activate the Spell Card - [Warrior Survival]. Its effect is: Select 1 Warrior-Type monster in your Graveyard and add it to your hand. The monster I'll choose is Great Axe Raider (ATK 1700/DEF 1150)."

"Attack means summoning axe attackers, then sword hunters attack the demon men."

As the demon man was destroyed, Tang Shengzhi's health dropped to 800. The demon man shattered instantly under the attack of the sword hunter and disappeared in a ray of light.

"Then I use the Great Axe Raider to attack the player directly."

As Tang Shengzhi's health points dropped to zero, the duel ended. In the end, Tan Cheng emerged victorious.

The atmosphere on the playground froze instantly. Some students cheered for Tan Cheng's victory, while others felt sorry for Tang Shengzhi.

The sky seemed like a huge palette, gradually changing from bright blue to dark gray due to the twilight.

A fierce card duel had just ended on the school playground, and the air seemed to still be filled with tension and excitement.

Tan Cheng stood there with the proud demeanor of a victor, his head held high. He spoke in a condescending tone, "Unfortunately, I've won this time. A word of advice to you: if you don't understand the opponent's strengths and weaknesses, it's best not to easily provoke trouble. Some people are destined to be invincible."

When Tang Shengzhi heard this, the anger in his heart was instantly ignited and his blood rushed up.

But as a loser, even though he was filled with resentment, he could not refute and could only respond viciously: "When I have a more powerful card, I will definitely defeat you."

Tan Cheng sneered and said sarcastically, "When you have more powerful cards next time, don't I have any?"

Tang Shengzhi was choked speechless and could only glare with flames of unwillingness burning in his eyes.

At this moment, the system in Lin Hao's mind suddenly made a sound. "Ding, side quest released: Defeat Tan Cheng and prove yourself to everyone."

Lin Hao was pleasantly surprised and asked quickly, "What's the reward for completing the mission?"

However, the system gave a helpless answer: "Ding, no permission to inform the host."

Lin Hao's face was immediately filled with black lines. He continued to ask unwillingly: "System, if you want me to duel, you must have a duel disk, otherwise I will risk my head to duel."

"Ding, the host needs to figure out the duel disk himself. This system is not responsible."

Hearing these irresponsible words, Lin Hao almost vomited blood in anger.

In order to complete the system task, Lin Hao gritted his teeth and resolutely rushed out of the crowd, shouting at Tan Cheng and others who were about to leave: "Wait, Tan Cheng, do you dare to duel with me?"

Tan Cheng was originally planning to leave when he heard someone behind him loudly challenging him. He thought that it was a strong man in the school who was attracted by his strength and was itching for a duel.

But when he turned around, he saw an unknown person who didn't even have a duel disk. His face instantly became very ugly, and the anger in his heart was ignited.

When Lin Hao's classmates saw him rushing out from the crowd to challenge Tan Cheng, they initially thought that he had a strong sense of class honor and couldn't bear to see his classmates fail, so he wanted to come out to duel with Tan Cheng to save the class's face.

"What is Lin Hao doing? Isn't he just asking for trouble?" a classmate muttered in a low voice.

"That's right. Tan Cheng is so powerful, but he doesn't even consider himself." Another classmate echoed.

"Oh, I guess I was just impulsive. I'm sure I'll regret it later." Another classmate shook his head and said.

"Do you think Lin Hao has any secret weapon? Otherwise, how could he be so bold?" a classmate asked curiously.

"Come on, what secret weapon can he have? He doesn't even have a duel disk." The classmate next to him responded disdainfully.

Only Tang Shengzhi, who was at the front of the crowd, saw this and quickly grabbed Lin Hao and said, "Student Lin, there's no need to be like this. If you lose, you lose. There's nothing to be ashamed of. You can just win it back next time."

Obviously, Tang Shengzhi's first reaction was the same as the other students. But he was still deeply touched by Lin Hao's action of standing up for him.

Lin Hao felt helpless. He knew that his current behavior seemed stupid to others, but in order to complete the system task, he had no choice but to go ahead.

Moreover, he himself was full of yearning for card duels. He had just watched for a long time and was already itching to join in.

Combined with the newbie gift package he had received earlier, Lin Hao felt that he still had a chance of winning.

At this time, a classmate next to Tan Cheng said, "I was wondering who it was. Someone who doesn't even have a duel disk dares to challenge Tan Cheng."

Another classmate beside him echoed, "That's right, that's right. You don't think that Tan Cheng just fought for a long time and used up too much energy, so he's going to take advantage of you, right? Let me tell you, even if Tan Cheng is exhausted, he can still beat you."

As soon as these words were spoken, the students present burst into laughter. Some students who were about to leave after watching the duel also stopped and prepared to watch the excitement again.

Lin Hao then noticed that the sky was gradually getting dark. The students in the crowd were talking and pointing at him.

"Who is this person? How dare he come out to challenge Tan Cheng at this time?"

"I don't know. He doesn't even have a duel disk. He's clearly a rookie."

"I doubt he'd even play the card monster duel game."

"Hey, it seems familiar."

"You only noticed it now. I noticed it a long time ago. This is the one who fainted from heatstroke this morning."

"Oh my god, is my brain burned out..."

Listening to these discussions, Lin Hao's face turned red, and he felt a little embarrassed. But he still stood there firmly and did not back down.

At this time, Huang Yao came out and said, "Lin Hao, there is nothing for you to do here, go back first."

Lin Hao said firmly: "You have to believe me, I am really confident that I can defeat Tan Cheng."

Huang Yao sighed, shook her head, and walked towards Tan Cheng.
