Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck, Depressing the World
"You've really worked hard, solving a major problem for me. Here's your reward for your help."
A smile immediately appeared on the Sartorius's face. He placed a card on the table covered with a white cloth and pushed it toward the other person.
Then, when the middle-aged, sinister-looking man, the professional duelist X, went to collect his payment.
The Sartorius also looked at the tarot cards he had placed beside him with some impatience, and took one out with a strange white light appearing in his eyes.
They began to try to divine Jiang He's fate.
The next second, Sartorius's face darkened!
He saw a giant Crimson Dragon Duel Monsters elites, and a familiar giant monster bird Duel Monsters Spirit, appearing together and letting out mocking cries.
Double the taunt. jpg "Wait a minute! X! Are you sure you really defeated that Jiang He?!"
The Sartorius immediately stopped the middle-aged, sinister-looking man who had just taken the reward card and was about to leave, his face darkening.
"Of course, that hot-blooded kid's bonds with his deck are probably completely messed up by now. I wonder when he'll be able to muster the desire to duel again."
X turned around with some confusion, frowned, and answered again.
In the world of professional dueling, aside from those legendary professional duelists who have retired from the scene, he is the third-ranked professional duelist.
He's not the kind of person who needs to cheat employers out of their money.
"A hot-blooded kid?!"
Upon hearing this, Sartorius almost popped his eyes out!
Based on the various rumors he had heard about Jiang He recently, and his understanding of Jiang He's cunning and ruthlessness.
This is the first time I've ever heard anyone use the phrase "hot-blooded kid" to describe that troublesome guy!
That's a duelist from the underworld, someone practically no one in the entire Duel Academy dares to challenge!
"Is something wrong?" X asked, puzzled. He had also sensed the unusual mood of the Sartorius and asked in confusion.
"Was this the person you fought last night?!" Sartorius suddenly remembered something and took out a file on Jaden Yuki, gesturing towards X. The only person he could think of who fit the description of a hot-blooded kid seemed to be this, besides Jiang He, his second target.
"That's right, it's him! Jiang... Wait, Jaden Yuki?!" X was about to confirm Jiang He's name when his eyes widened in disbelief as he saw the words "Jaden Yuki" written on it!
What on earth is going on?!
That hot-blooded young man whom he had struggled so hard to defeat last night, and who was almost defeated by the other party, was not the target he was hired for this job. That kid named Jiang He?!
"But... when I mentioned that he had defeated Aster Phoenix, that eccentric kid admitted it!" X said, finding it hard to believe.
"Because he did indeed manage to defeat Aster once by sheer luck, thanks to the power of an Ultimate Alchemy Card!" Sartorius said, his face dark, his hands propped up on the table. While Jaden Yuki Jiang He his second target, his priority right now was clearly Ego, who seemed to be able to interfere with even his divination abilities!
Unexpectedly, this bizarre incident occurred!
That Jiang He didn't go through anything; instead, it was Jaden Yuki, by a twist of fate, took the initiative to duel with X.
The more the Sartorius thought about it, the uglier his expression became.
And there was something else that completely exceeded his expectations!
That Jaden Yuki was defeated by the X deck, which was secretly imbued with the power of his Light of Destruction.
However, they did not seem to be controlled by his power and become members of his Society of Light!
Is it the power of the spirits again, or the special power hidden within Jaden Yuki?
It was that troublesome Jiang He who made the move again.
"X, I'll need your help one more time. Go and find the real Jiang He for a duel," said the Sartorius, looking at the middle-aged, sinister-looking man X.
"Although it's a bit against the rules, I did misjudge the target this time, so I'll only charge you 80% of the fee for the second offer," X said, adjusting his small glasses.
"As for that Jiang He, I'll make him lose the desire to continue fighting, just like Jaden Yuki did last night."
"As long as you can arrange it this time, I'll duel with him. After all, as someone who isn't from the Duel Academy, I can't stay here." Upon hearing this, the Sartorius sneered smugly.
"Rest assured, I have already begun implementing a grand plan, and with the help of Aster's reputation and the substantial funds accumulated by the Society of Light, I have successfully lobbied the key shareholders of the Duel Academy Board of Directors, as well as that Chancellor Sheppard." "Your opportunity to duel with Jiang He will be in the next two days!"

Jiang He quickly learned of the misunderstanding caused by Sartorius and the professional dueling hunter X.
After the squinty-eyed Professor Banner finished his alchemy lesson, he asked Syrus Truesdale and Chumley about the specifics of what happened last night.
I heard some of the general details from the two of them.
"A professional duelist who claims to be ranked higher than Aster Phoenix, X mistook Jaden for me, then dueled with Jaden and even defeated Jaden?" Jiang He confirmed with a somewhat strange expression.
I never imagined that the "fake love letter" that was in his drawer yesterday was actually a trap set by the Sartorius...
Moreover, this time, that old Sartorius was so enraged by Saiō's previous interference with the divination that he hired a highly ranked professional duelist to deal with him. "I've heard some rumors about this Drest X; he's a professional duelist hunter known as the X the Destroyer, and a powerful professional duelist ranked third in the world." Kaiser Zane Truesdale said quickly with a hint of seriousness after hearing this.
Because he plans to enter the professional dueling world after graduating from the Duel Academy.
Therefore, I also found a lot of information about the situation in the professional dueling world.
Among them was X, with his sinister face and appearance, resembling a sickly middle-aged elite! "He's actually the world's third-ranked professional duelist?!"
Upon hearing Alexis Rhodes, Rei Saotome, Tyranno Hassleberry were all taken aback!
"I've also heard of this person. It's said that this X has never lost to anyone who has ever dueled with him before," Bastion Misawa quickly added solemnly.
"Moreover, those who duel with this X all become depressed as their opponent's deck is destroyed, and the bond between them and their own deck breaks down, causing them to become despondent." "In the professional dueling world, almost no one wants to face him as an opponent!" Upon hearing this, the expressions of Alexis Rhodes and her close friends, as well as Chazz Princeton and Atticus Rhodes, suddenly became somewhat strange. "A depressing opponent...?"
"No one in the professional dueling world wants to face him as an opponent...?"
Why do these two adjectives sound so familiar?
Everyone immediately turned to look in Jiang He's direction.
Jiang He remained completely unfazed by this.
He stated that what does it have to do with Jiang Daishanren who brings warmth to others, such as his rivals causing him distress?
Moreover, that X, Ex, is someone no one in the professional dueling world "would want to encounter" as an opponent, while Jiang Daishanren is someone no one in the entire Duel Academy "dares" to duel with. They are obviously different!
Seeing Jiang He He's completely unfazed expression, everyone else couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.
I can even picture the unspoken meaning behind the words of some cunning and shameless individual...
"So, is it because Big Brother lost his duel with that X that the bond between him and his deck was broken, which is why he's been holed up in his dorm room feeling so down?"
Syrus Truesdale quickly guessed with suspicion.
"I think the reason why Jaden is in a low mood is not just because he was defeated once by that X, who destroyed his deck by reducing his cards."
Jiang He shook his head directly.
Even with Jaden Yuki, that hot-blooded idiot, being the chosen one, and the strong bond between him and his deck, he could still be defeated once even if the deck destroyed him.
There certainly won't be any problems in this regard.
Moreover, now that we know it seems to be someone hired by that old cunning Sartorius.
It's not difficult to determine the reason for Jiang He.
Based on my understanding of Sartorius's previous control by Chazz Princeton, the other party's power, besides Brain Control and controlling targets, also includes... (Seeking flowers...)
"There are also people who can control and seal the abilities of the Duel Monsters Spirit."
Seeing that Alexis Rhodes and the others looked at him curiously after hearing this, Jiang He didn't keep them in suspense and directly revealed some of what he knew under a plausible reason.
"Now that Jaden has been defeated by that X, although it seems that due to the protection of his special power, he wasn't controlled by Sartorius, another side effect might be even more serious than the ability to see Duel Monsters Spirit being sealed." Jiang He remembered that in the original timeline, after that hot-blooded idiot Jaden was defeated by that little gray -Aster Phoenix, his ability to see Duel Monsters Spirit was not only sealed.
I can't even see anything on the cards anymore.
All I could see on the card was a blank screen.
Although his presence has caused a slight change in the situation.
The person who defeated Jaden Yuki was Aster Phoenix, who became that X.
But in essence, there is no difference between the two; both decks are imbued with the power of Sartorius's old tricks!
"A situation even more serious than the sealing that allows access to Duel Monsters Spirit?"
Both Chazz Princeton and Tyranno Hassleberry couldn't help but show solemn expressions.
Meanwhile, Bastion Misawa, Syrus Truesdale, and the others were all completely bewildered.
They simply don't have the ability to see the Duel Monsters Spirit!
It's hard to imagine anything more serious than this.
"Jiang He, everyone, Jaden seems to have disappeared!"
Just as Jiang He and the others returned to the Slifer Red Dormitory, before they even had a chance to check on Jaden Yuki, they heard some unexpected news from the squinty-eyed Professor Banner, Daitokuji!
Chapter 325 Jiang He: I'd call it a delightful sheepfold! [Please subscribe]
"Jaden Yuki has disappeared?"
Chazz Princeton, Bastion Misawa, and the others were all taken aback!
Jiang He, however, was not surprised at all, as if he had expected it all along.
He stated that this wasn't a disappearance, but rather an attempt to "freeload" and enhance his deck's power...
Jiang He remembered that in the original timeline, Jaden Yuki, that hot-blooded idiot, was ambushed by Sartorius's Light of Destruction power and then guided by the Duel Monsters Spirit he accidentally created as a child to the alternate dimension where "Neo Space Duel Monsters Spirit" was located.
I got an upgraded Elemental HERO HERO Deck for free, which boosted my strength.
If we consider Jaden Yuki's previous victory over that little gray- Aster Phoenix, "820"
If this was only possible because of the ridiculously powerful [Philosopher's Stone] Spell Card given to him by the squinty-eyed Professor Banner, which temporarily gave him a power boost, then after obtaining this upgraded Elemental HERO HERO Deck, its deck strength is in no way inferior to Aster's Destiny HERO!
Even if that little gray- Aster Phoenix gets the ultimate D. Hero card! "But Jaden left a note saying he'd be back after going out for a walk." Seeing Syrus Truesdale and Chumley's situation, Banner quickly comforted them.
He then immediately changed the subject.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing. Chancellor Sheppard seems to be announcing something quite important this afternoon, meow." "Quite important?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang He raised an eyebrow in surprise, a vague guess rising in his mind.
In the afternoon, inside the large classroom...
"Duel Academy students, at the suggestion of many board members and shareholders of the Duel Academy Board of Directors, and with the advice of professional duelists, I have brought you a special gift!"
Chancellor Sheppard, who hadn't been seen much for a while, stood in front of the podium in the large classroom in the distance, smiling enthusiastically as he addressed everyone!
"In the name of the Duel Academy, a World Duel Tournament codenamed GX will be held!"
"All students of the Duel Academy are qualified to participate in this dueling tournament!"
"In addition, elite representatives from the North Academy, other Duel Academy branches, and even a large number of top-ranked professional duelists from around the world who have been invited will also participate!"
The moment he said that!
All the students from the Duel Academy sitting in the large classroom couldn't help but show expressions of surprise!
World Duel Tournament?!
And surprisingly, professional duelists, as well as a large number of elites from the Duel Academy branch campuses, will be participating...!
That's almost comparable to the situation in the professional dueling world!
