"Didn't expect that, did you? I still had a trick up my sleeve! In the end, my skill prevailed!" Zi Shu finally lifted his chin, smiling confidently.

"Is that really true?"

"My apologies, but everything was within my grasp."

"Please open your eyes wide and witness what happens next!"

You Chen showed no panic, a faint smile still playing on his lips as he raised his large hand.

At that moment, an even larger Machina body revived from the Graveyard!

Its gear shafts had four parts, spreading out like spider legs from the lower chassis, and its treads rotated continuously.

The blue and white Machina body gleamed with dazzling alloy, its right hand a red serrated weapon, and its left hand a giant cannon.

"This card can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard if a face-up Machine-Type, EARTH monster on your field, other than 'Machina Colonel,' is destroyed by battle or card effect. So, from the very beginning, I was already prepared for you, and your so-called 'trick up your sleeve' was merely a part of what I hoped for."

You Chen's counterattack stunned everyone present once again with this new twist.

The sheer number of reversals in this turn was truly unimaginable.

Machina Colonel EARTH/Level 10/Machine ATK: 3000/DEF: 2500

"What?!"

Zi Shu's expression had turned mortified. The continuous layers of reversals made him feel like he was on a rollercoaster, and the feeling of being completely outmatched left him incredibly frustrated.

The outcome was obvious, wasn't it?

Machina Colonel attacked, and then the remaining monsters directly attacked.

One swift strike took out Zi Shu!

"Uwaaah!!"

Zi Shu let out a piercing shriek, and You Chen successfully won the first challenger match.

"Amazing! Absolutely amazing!"

"An endless display of strategy!"

At this moment, the host cheered, "Congratulations, Night Wanderer, on successfully winning the first duel! Now, may I ask if you wish to continue and book your next duel?"

"If you choose to continue, two thousand yuan will be temporarily held here and given to you when you settle up. But please note, if you lose, all your winnings will be reset to zero."

"If you don't wish to continue, you can take the two thousand yuan and leave now."

Upon hearing this, You Chen didn't hesitate for a second. "Continue."

Damn it, the registration fee alone was five thousand yuan.

Coming here to earn two thousand and then running off—wouldn't that be idiotic?

For the second match, the prize money was four thousand yuan.

It accumulated step by step.

If he won, it would be six thousand yuan.

But it wasn't easy to win. Consider that the mechanism here was actually very disadvantageous.

First, a duelist had to challenge a corresponding level in their first duel.

Even if they won that match, the next opponent would inevitably be a higher-level duelist. In such circumstances, few could win much.

However, higher-level duelists still had an advantage.

The advantage was, for example, a Three-Star Duelist would naturally challenge a Three-Star Challenger upon arrival.

A Three-Star Challenger had already accumulated a base capital of 14,000 yuan!

So, winning would mean an extra 9,000 yuan on top of the challenge fee.

This system was designed to attract more strong players to challenge.

As for someone saying, wouldn't this easily lead to losses?

Are there really that many strong players?

It's worth noting that in same-level challenges, how many dare to claim a guaranteed win?

Moreover, even if the Challenger lost, the boss would never truly lose money. The main income came from live stream revenue and various advertising shares. These duel prizes, even if lost haphazardly, didn't matter.

Therefore, from the very beginning, the Underground Duel Tournament's true intention was not just about the prize money.

But the Challenger couldn't be too weak either, or there would be no spectacle. So, maintaining a balance with the duelists was perfect and provided plenty of entertainment value.

"Alright, Mr. Night Wanderer, please come here promptly at 8 PM tomorrow night for your challenge."

The host replied.

You Chen was about to turn around when he seemed to remember something and asked, "May I ask, what's the highest winning streak here?"

The host paused, a good sport, already thinking about win streaks, huh?

After a moment of contemplation, he replied, "A maximum of five consecutive wins!"

"That's currently the highest record."

"You must know this guy too."

You Chen felt annoyed. I know him too?

No, you know who I know?

"Who?"

The host took a deep breath and said gravely, "The former KC Cup World Champion, with the Blue-Eyes Deck, Long Kai!"

"Oh, I don't know him," You Chen said.

The host nearly stumbled. This guy actually doesn't know Long Kai?

Although it was a few years ago, Long Kai's Blue-Eyes Deck was truly powerful in that era.

Yet, even a player as strong as Long Kai could only achieve five consecutive wins here.

This showed...

You Chen didn't pay it any mind and turned to leave.

Meanwhile, in the pavilion above, two figures had been observing for a long time.

They were also wearing masks.

A man and a woman.

The man was just a man.

The woman wore a tight leather outfit that perfectly accentuated her impressive figure. The zipper of her leather top was half-open, revealing a black bandeau.

Her leather pants outlined the perfect curves of her shapely buttocks and well-proportioned long legs. Her long, wine-red hair was tied in a ponytail.

Her mask was a white fox.

"Only one win tonight."

"His voice sounds very young, almost like a student's."

"And most importantly, this guy actually has a Spirit fluctuation reaction."

The man's calm voice rang out, and a faint glow appeared on his arm.

"Another duelist who can coexist with a Spirit?"

"Interesting."

"It seems there's another reason I have to come here."

"I'm more curious to see how many stars he can achieve later."

The woman chuckled lightly, her voice beautiful and lazy.

Back home.

"What took you so long?"

"I heard the Collegiate League is starting soon for you guys."

"Did you learn anything watching other people duel over there?"

You Wushuang was constructing her deck and had been waiting for You Chen to return.

"No."

"There wasn't much to see."

You Chen shook his head, yawned, already feeling sleepy.

"I think, even though you've improved, you should still watch more of other people's duels. The Collegiate League features duels between the top students from various campuses, and those who can even participate have a chance to challenge the Four Great Academies."

"That alone proves how outstanding they are."

"Don't get complacent just because you beat me."

"They definitely have shining qualities you need to learn from. Otherwise, why would they be dueling up there instead of you?"

"Right? Doesn't that make sense?"

You Chen blinked, scratched his cheek, and said, "You've got a point, but I still suggest you watch the Collegiate League duels first."

"I'm going back to my room now."

You Wushuang was utterly confused. That makes no sense. I tell you to learn from their duels, and you tell me to watch the Collegiate League?

Entering his room, You Chen seemed to remember something. He looked up at True Silent Magician and asked, "Oh, by the way, do you have a QQ group?"

It should be promoted this Sunday. At that time, I hope all my fellow readers will continue to follow, vote, and support it. The further this book goes, the more mass releases there will be when it's put on shelves! The early new book period is quite long, so it's not suitable to update too quickly, but I guarantee at least 10,000 words daily when it's put on shelves.
