Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting as a Rabbit-Eared Demon King

"A Thousand-Year Eye!" "A Thousand-Year Eye!"

Both Li Youming and Zorc saw the location of the Millennium Eye. Zorc's phantom showed a longing expression, while Li Youming showed a solemn expression.

"At this moment, Pegasus is at the peak of his mental power. As the saying goes, evil makes one ten times stronger, while good makes one three times weaker. It's best to test him now."

At this point in his thoughts, Bekas extended his right hand in an attempt to shake hands with Li Youming, and Li Youming solemnly extended his hand as well, and the two hands were thus "friendly" clasped together.

At that moment, an incredibly powerful mental force surged through his hand, attempting to directly assault Li Youming's brain. Without resistance, he could easily be turned into an idiot.

Li Youming, not to be outdone, directly used the Millennium Wisdom Wheel to mobilize his spiritual power and launch a counterattack. The two spiritual energies collided directly. This spiritual energy surged and clashed between them, endlessly intertwined.

The stadium lights, affected by this spiritual force, began to flicker. The organizers quickly sent someone to the power room to check what was happening, and the audience in the stadium panicked.

"Zok, he's stronger than me, help me quickly, or we're doomed!" Li Youming had no choice but to ask Zok for help.

Zorc understood the principle of mutual dependence and immediately provided a powerful mental force to separate him from Pegasus.

The moment their hands separated, the stadium lights returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

The host was trying to calm everyone down, while Pegasus stood beside Li Youming and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "When I came to your side, I could feel a very strong spiritual power. It really came from you. Bakura boy."

Hearing Pegasus's inexplicable British accent, Li Youming forced himself to reply, "You're very strong too, Mr. Pegasus, the holder of the Millennium Eye."

"You know about the Millennium Eye too?" Pegasus looked at Li Youming with some excitement. "Things are getting interesting, Bakura boy. Come join my upcoming Duel Kingdom event."

“I’ll accept your offer. I’ll come to the Duel Kingdom to find you.” Li Youming readily agreed to the request and then took the gloves and stars from Pegasus.

“You were originally the champion, so I should have given you some inside information about the Duel Kingdom. But seeing how strong you are, I suppose you wouldn't care about ordinary information.” Pegasus shrugged. “I won't tell you then, how about that?”

"Whatever, I don't care about those rumors." Li Youming wasn't indignant. Knowing the plot well, he knew the so-called rumors were just about a 30% increase in terrain adaptability and magic immunity to equipment and spells. In other words, all equipment and spells were banned.

"Interesting, Bakura boy, I'll remember you. You absolutely must come find me in Duel Kingdom, don't lose halfway there."

"It's a deal!" After saying that, Li Youming turned around and walked out without looking back, carrying his trophy and a large sum of money.

“Bakura-boy and Game-boy are both interesting kids. I won’t be lonely in Duel Kingdom this time.” Pegasus watched Li Youming’s departing figure, his Millennium Eyes shining brightly.

A short while later, Li Youming arrived at Yugi Muto's house. Yugi Muto, Jonouchi, and the others had just finished watching the program about Li Youming's championship victory on TV.

"Congratulations, Bakura-kun." Honda casually put his arm around Li Youming's shoulder.

"Congratulations, Bakura-kun." Kyoko smiled as she looked at Li Youming.

"Congratulations, Bakura-kun!" Yugi Muto was genuinely happy for Li Youming.

"Sigh, Bakura-kun," Jonouchi greeted listlessly. After all, he had trained for so long, only to be eliminated in the top 16 of the city tournament, while Li Youming, who hadn't trained much, became the national champion. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Are you worried about your younger sister?" Li Youming walked up to Jonouchi and handed him the check for the prize money he had received.

"What are you doing?" Jonouchi's eyes lit up when he saw the check in Li Youming's hand, but reason made him turn around and look at Li Youming.

"Take this and use it first," Li Youming said, flashing his signature "Bakura smile." "I know you want the prize money to pay for your sister's eye surgery. My family has money, so you can take this and use it; it should be enough."

"This is yours, I can't accept it!" Jonouchi pushed the check back directly, but his deep desire was undeniable.

"How about this," Li Youming sighed, "Consider this a loan to you. After all, we're good friends. This is proof of our bond."

There's no need to persuade them; in the world of Yugi-Oh!, everything makes sense as long as bonds are mentioned.

Yugi Muto and the others were also taken aback by Li Youming's words, realizing that they hadn't bothered to find out about the situation inside the castle.

"Bakura-chan..." Jonouchi's eyes welled up with exaggerated tears, his face turning into a puppy-dog expression as he hugged Li Youming tightly and burst into tears. "You're truly my best friend, our bond is the strongest!"

"Relax, relax, what kind of behavior is this, crying like this?" Li Youming comforted Cheng Neizhi helplessly, while the others laughed happily at the two of them joking around.

Finally, under Kyoko's fist, Jonouchi stopped his antics and joined everyone in celebrating Li Youming's victory.

Late at night, a man dressed in black and wearing sunglasses brought Yugi Muto a videotape. Li Youming knew the story was about to unfold.

"Zork, wake up!" Li Youming called out to the Great Evil God in his heart.

"What do you want from me?" the Great Evil God also responded.

"Protect me for a bit later!" Li Youming stated his request directly.

"Protect you what..." Zorc hadn't finished speaking when the videotape that Yugi Muto had inserted emitted a dark power. Zorc reacted quickly, dispelling the dark power that had been placed on Li Youming.

"My strength hasn't fully recovered yet; I used up a lot of my power helping you fight Pegasus. You could handle this yourself, why did you ask me?"

“My power has been significantly depleted in the fight against Pegasus, and I need to use the remaining power for other things. You can go back and rest now, thank you.” Li Youming pretended to be frozen in place, seemingly corrupted by the dark power.

"Tch, you'd better watch yourself." Zorc left with a disgruntled remark and returned to the Millennium Wisdom Wheel, showing no interest in the matter at hand.

"Pegasus's power is indeed formidable. If I want to gain any advantage from him, it seems I'll have to rely on Yugi Muto's power."

As Li Youming was pondering, the battle between Yugi Muto and Pegasus officially began. Just like in the plot, it should have been Yugi Muto's victory, but due to time constraints, the Pharaoh was killed by the plot.

Just as Pegasus was about to use the power of the Millennium Eye to take away Muto Soroku's soul, Li Youming directly revealed the Millennium Wisdom Wheel, and a laser beam shot out, merging with Pegasus's power.
