Let the first move? Grand Monarch OTK.

Just as the two women let out long sighs, two middle-aged men walked up, one after the other. The man in front had a rectangular face and a tall, thin build, while the man behind had a square face and a broad, sturdy build.

"Xingge, is this Senior Youye?"

The man walking in front glanced at Youye before asking Chang Xingge.

Chang Xingge heard the familiar voice and immediately snapped back to attention, her gaze falling on the two men before her. She then bowed slightly and respectfully said, "Good morning, Minister Luo and Bureau Chief Wang."

After greeting the two, she began to answer the question: "Yes, this is Senior Youye."

With that, she introduced the two to Youye, one after the other: "This is Minister Luo Hao, an Earth-level Master Duelist and the Minister of our Hangcheng Duel Association, and this is Bureau Chief Wang Cheng, an Earth-level Master Duelist and the Bureau Chief of the Inspector Bureau!"

Youye smiled, showing no subservience despite them being Earth-level Duelists. His gaze lingered on Bureau Chief Wang Cheng, the man with the square face, before he smiled and greeted them, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Minister Luo and Bureau Chief Wang."

"You are too kind, Senior You. It is our Hangcheng Duel Association's honor that you have come here for certification," Luo Hao said with a smile. Just like when Chang Xingge appeared, he exuded the aura of someone in a high position, but in front of Youye, he showed no pretense whatsoever.

"Of course, it's your Hangcheng Duel Association's honor. Just look at what an extraordinary person Senior You is!" Wang Cheng, standing behind Luo Hao, said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

"Hmph, Wang Cheng, don't think you can definitely beat me just because Senior You helped your Inspector Bureau modify your Deck Build. You haven't collected all the cards yet," Luo Hao said with a dark expression, clenching his fists and letting out a low grunt after Wang Cheng took over his polite words.

"Hahahaha, so what if I haven't collected them all? Let's have another match. How about I let you go first?" Wang Cheng said with a smug look, not only showing no restraint but even challenging him.

"Get lost. I'll let Senior help me modify my Deck Build later, then I'll see your brilliant moves," Luo Hao cursed in a low voice, his face growing even darker.

Wang Cheng had challenged him to a duel late last night. Since he had always had the upper hand against Wang Cheng before, he naturally accepted, planning to have some fun before going to sleep.

The result was a crushing five consecutive losses, which left him so angry he couldn't sleep!

Having become an Earth-level Duelist, he wasn't a fool. Through subtle questioning and the fact that Wang Cheng hadn't deliberately concealed anything, he naturally learned of Youye's existence.

Thus, the two of them were also waiting, anticipating Youye's arrival.

"As for modifying the Deck Build, please wait a moment. I've already agreed to help Chang Xingge here first," Youye said, instantly understanding the conversation between the two.

He wasn't surprised by this. Aside from a few genuine social recluses, people have their own circles. One person telling two, and two telling four, was perfectly normal, and it was also his goal.

As for why he hadn't done this before, wasn't it because he hadn't had the opportunity?

Before opening the shop, the only person he knew with a higher status was the principal of the Duel Academy. After so many years, he hadn't obtained many suitable cards, and his network was limited.

The two men had no dissatisfaction with Youye's answer. It was a simple truth: the strong have all the decision-making power. This is an eternal truth, no matter the world!

"Senior Youye, please come this way. I have already prepared the special dueling room," Chang Xingge said. Unlike Youye, who showed no deference to Wang Cheng and Luo Hao, she dared not. How could a Mystic-level Duelist like her say anything to two Earth-level powerhouses? Only after the two implicitly agreed did she speak.

What? Youye is a Yellow-tier newbie? May I ask, among the people or Spirits present, who truly regarded him as a Yellow-level Duelist?

Then, led by Chang Xingge, Youye, the two men, and Munin entered a dueling room that was a full ten meters wide, thirty meters long, and about five meters high. She stood opposite Youye, while the two spectators and the Spirit quietly sat on the sofa against the wall to watch.

Youye (8000 LP) vs Chang Xingge (8000 LP)

According to the Dueling Rules, Chang Xingge chose whether to go first or second. Chang Xingge chose to go second. Both players drew five cards, and the duel began.

"Letting me go first?" Youye was slightly surprised by this and became curious about what Archetype Chang Xingge was using.

Of course, he ruled out Mikanko, Numeron, and Tenyi Spirit - Sahasrara. Even the weakest of these, Numeron, could reach Master Duel's top rank. The other two, which were stronger but lacked a "big boss monster," couldn't possibly be at the Mystic Level.

"I activate the Quick-Play Spell, Runick Flashing Fire! I add one Runick Spell Card from my Deck to my hand and Banish the top card of your Deck. I choose to add the Field Spell Runick Fountain from my Deck to my hand! Banish the top card of your Deck!"

Curiosity was one thing, but Youye didn't stop his actions.

As Youye added Fountain to his hand, his gaze fell on the card Chang Xingge had Banished: Mekk-Knight Indigo Eclipse.

"Mekk-Knight? Going second? OTK?" Youye murmured.

This Deck was often seen in the cup events in Master Duel, commonly known as MD, in his previous life. After many key mainstream cards were forbidden, it was popular among common players due to its strong second-turn OTK ability and extremely low cost. Of course, Youye had played it too.

After a brief recollection, combined with the cards Chang Xingge was likely to use, Youye began to make his moves.

"I activate the Field Spell, Runick Fountain! With the Quick-Play Spell Runick Golden Droplet in my hand, I choose to Special Summon a Monster! The Monster I summon is Wings of Runick - Munin! With Munin's Effect from the Extra Deck, I send the Continuous Trap There Can Be Only One from my hand to the Graveyard to activate it! Then, I chain C2 with Fountain's Effect, targeting Flashing Fire and Golden Droplet in the Graveyard!"

Effect Resolution: C2 Fountain's Effect, Flashing Fire and Golden Droplet return to the Deck, and Youye draws two cards.

C1 Munin's Effect, add the Continuous Spell Runick Allure to my hand.

"I activate the Continuous Spell Runick Allure and the Continuous Spell Messenger of Peace! I end my turn!"

"At the end of the turn, Munin's Effect activates! I regain 1000 LP!"

Youye's LP: 8000 → 9000

"Is this the strength of a senior? When he Banished Indigo Eclipse, it was clear he saw that Xingge's Mekk-Knight Archetype couldn't be contained by There Can Be Only One, and he also knew it was a second-turn OTK. That's why he summoned Munin instead of Hugin."

As the Minister of the Hangcheng Duel Association, Luo Hao had naturally dueled against Munin and knew the general effects of the Runick Archetype cards. Therefore, he fully understood that the Runick Field Youye had set up was the optimal solution to prevent the "big boss monster" from finishing the game. Thus, even though he was mentally prepared for Youye to be extraordinary, he was still extremely surprised.

It was clear that Chang Xingge's hand was completely exposed!

"Heh heh, Old Luo, do you still want to try later?" As Luo Hao sighed, Wang Cheng, who was beside him, revealed a hint of a mischievous smile and teased him.

"Of course, only through a real duel can you understand a person's true strength and character!" Luo Hao replied without hesitation. However, looking at Chang Xingge, who was currently dueling, he recalled the despair of Stall duels with Munin in the past. Now facing an even more Unfair Play Youye, he righteously added.

"But I won't be having a normal duel. Senior Youye's Master Duel Deck has even greater strength. As Earth-level Duelists, we naturally need to challenge our limits and confront our own problems. Therefore, I will challenge Senior Youye in a Master Duel later!"

"If you're afraid of stalling, just say you're afraid of stalling. Why say it so righteously?" Wang Cheng rolled his eyes and retorted upon hearing his nonsense.
