Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting With a Hellish Deck, Depressing the World
"So that's what it was all about..."
Jiang He revealed a "I knew it" expression.
Even without verification, he was certain that this was the result of that old schemer, Sartorius, pulling strings and exerting considerable effort behind the scenes!
After all, this would attract many people to the island of the Duel Academy, leading to chaotic duels.
Once a member of the Society of Light, controlled by Sartorius and stained white, wins, the opponent is defeated.
So the spread of the Society of Light, which was temporarily slowed and contained by Chazz Princeton, Kaiser Zane Truesdale through Shadow Duel, will expand rapidly and completely unstoppably!
Clearly, this was exactly what the Sartorius had in mind!
Alexis Rhodes, along with Kaiser Zane Truesdale, immediately sensed the problem and their expressions changed!
However, judging from the momentum of Chancellor Sheppard's announcement, the World Duel Tournament GX seems to have already been fully operational and cannot be stopped in time!
This made Alexis Rhodes quickly glance at Jiang He's reaction beside her. Seeing his calm and unsurprised demeanor, she was momentarily stunned, then inexplicably relieved as if she had thought of something. The World Duel Tournament, while very beneficial to the expansion of the Society of Light, also seemed to be, at the same time, a good opportunity to deal with Jiang He, as Sartorius had mentioned last night!
"So what are the rules, Chancellor Sheppard?" Near the front of the podium, the blond mushroom-headed man and the short, chubby instructor, both completely unaware of the rules, asked Chancellor Sheppard curiously.
They asked the question that everyone, including Jiang He, was planning to ask.
"Excellent question, Professor Crowler."
Chancellor Sheppard took out an exquisite silver medal with the letter GX on it, gestured to everyone, and continued.
"The rules for this World Duel Tournament are quite simple: each participant will first receive a GX badge as a participation token. Then, each participant must engage in one duel each day and cannot refuse the first challenger of the day!"
"The winner gets all the medals their opponent possesses, until only one victor remains!" "This rule is clearly in the favor of that old charlatan, Sartorius..." Jiang He muttered to himself.
While it may sound fair, it can actually help the Sartorius some of the other party's goals.
However, he didn't mind at all!
He even quite liked the rules and the World Duel Tournament!
Jiang He said, "Isn't this like setting up a sheepfold for him Jiang Daishanren, so he can happily fleece people to his heart's content?"

"This is a great opportunity to further enhance the influence and reputation of our Duel Academy. I hope all students will strive to be the victors who laugh last!" Chancellor Sheppard quickly concluded.
"Furthermore, the ultimate winner of World Duel Tournament GX will receive this special prize!" "A special prize...?"
Upon hearing Chancellor Sheppard's words, both Alexis Rhodes and her group, as well as most of the other students from the Duel Academy, felt a chill run down their spines and leaned back in fear!
Even Jiang He got goosebumps!
After the duel with the North Academy, he's become somewhat "allergic" to the term "special prize"... Could the final prize for this World Duel Tournament be another kiss from Aunt Dorothy?!
Thinking about these 11 points, Jiang He's desire to win first place instantly diminished significantly...!
"Please rest assured, everyone. I won't easily give up Aunt Dorothy's prize. This time it's something else," Chancellor Sheppard quickly explained.
This made Jiang He breathe a sigh of relief.
If it really is Aunt Dorothy's kiss, then he says he'll withdraw from the competition on the spot...!
Inside the large classroom, all the other students from the Duel Academy breathed a sigh of relief.
Even the dozens of students from the Society of Light who were Brain Control and turned white by Sartorius were the same!
"..." Bald- Chancellor Sheppard.
The mysterious prize that he treasured Aunt Dorothy was so disliked among these young students.
After the bald- Chancellor Sheppard finished his announcement and left the large classroom, Jiang He held the GX silver medal, twice the size of a coin, in his hand, examining it closely. With the power of the Mark of the Crimson Dragon he had obtained, he could easily sense that the medal contained some special electronic devices, used to prevent counterfeiting and to determine the final outcome of any duel.
"From the moment I received the medal this afternoon, the World Duel Tournament hosted by the Duel Academy has officially begun. I wonder what kind of powerful duelists will come to this island from the outside world in the near future," Alexis Rhodes said to Jiang He, holding a GX medal as well.
She wasn't particularly concerned about the outcome of the World Duel Tournament.
She could even give the medal to Jiang He Jiang He if he wanted it.
Most importantly, the impact of that Sartorius is uncertain, and we don't know how it will ultimately manifest...
"There's no need to worry about that. No matter how it turns out, as long as the source is dealt with, there won't be any impact," Jiang He, shaking his head without any concern.
Then, as if he had suddenly thought of something, he stroked his chin and pondered before saying something.
"Since the World Duel has already begun, does that mean we have to find someone to duel with today?" According to the rules that the bald- Chancellor Sheppard, mentioned earlier, everyone must have at least one duel every day, and cannot refuse the first duel challenge of the day.
So now, wouldn't they all need to have their last duel before tonight? Hearing Jiang He's words, Chazz Princeton, Bastion Misawa, and Tyranno Hassleberry were all stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized what he meant!
The next second, almost everyone's gaze instinctively turned directly towards Syrus Truesdale's direction.
This is a guaranteed challenge rule that requires at least one duel every day.
Of course, it's best to choose the weakest opponent to duel first!
There is absolutely no chance of it going wrong!
"..." Syrus Truesdale instantly broke out in a cold sweat, completely terrified!
Is this how you treat a companion?!
Why is everyone's attention on him?!
"Senior Truesdale, rather than letting someone else benefit, why not grant my wish?" Tyranno Hassleberry said to Syrus Truesdale with a gleam in his eyes.
"That's right, I'll be your first opponent, Sho!" Bastion Misawa, the honest and simple-minded man, immediately chimed in. "Sho, let me, as your older brother, be your first opponent in this World Duel Tournament." Even Kaiser Zane Truesdale, his own brother, chimed in.
Good brother. jp823g's expression turned strange upon seeing Jiang He; he seemed to want to complain a bit.
Good heavens, they're acting all brotherly and respectful right from the start?!
"Whoa!!" Syrus Truesdale was so frightened by the scene that he immediately screamed and ran away, planning to hide near the Slifer Red Dormitory and find someone weaker than him to duel with, at least to survive for a day!
For example... Chumley!
That way, at least the results won't be too bad!
"So easily frightened..." Chazz Princeton said, crossing his arms as he watched Syrus Truesdale run away in terror.
"However, during this period, it would be best for us to stick together as much as possible to avoid being picked off one by one by Sartorius's side," Atticus Rhodes suggested.
If the group sticks together, it will be more difficult for Sartorius to make a move.
Jiang He nodded in agreement.
That's true. At least in crucial moments, you can use the "sacrifice" of your own people to avoid the rule that you can't refuse the first challenge duel that day.
Chapter 327 The Underworld Death-Slaying Deck... [Please Subscribe]
Inside the living room of the luxurious cabin in Slifer Red Dormitory.
Jiang He lay lazily on the sofa, idly drinking the juice Camula handed him through a straw while checking his already refreshed system exchange options.
I'm planning to pick out a new, dark deck to "warm up" the first unlucky soul about to appear in this "World Duel Tournament" sheep pen!
[System Shop (refreshes every two days)]
Today's options:
[Deck: Drunkard Table-Flipping Deck (Chumley's Father Version)] 500 points.
[Deck: Final Countdown Deck (Underworld Tanking Style)] 1500 points.
[Deck: Hummingbird Earthbound Immortal Deck (Underworld Resurrection Rogue Style)] 1500 points.
[Skill: Whip of Complete Defeat (Once per duel, when using the Blue-Eyes White Dragon Deck, you are guaranteed to draw one Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon during the draw)] 2000 points.
"The Whip of Complete Defeat..." Jiang He's expression subtly shifted upon seeing the newly appeared skill exchange option.
Although this skill seems pretty good, it can give you a powerful ace monster like Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, which deals double damage to defense monsters and cannot be destroyed by effects.
However, this restriction only applies when using the Blue-Eyes White Dragon Deck.
This suddenly made the skill seem rather useless to Jiang He...
After all, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon Deck in this Duel World belongs to Seto Kaiba, one of the directors and major shareholders of Duel Academy...
Not to mention that he doesn't even have this deck in his hand right now, even if he did, he couldn't use it openly!
Otherwise, the origin of the deck will become inexplicable...
Therefore, Jiang He skipped over them and looked at the remaining three card deck exchange options.
He naturally knew something about the drunken table-flipping technique used by Chumley's father.
While there are indeed one or two cards with rather bizarre effects, the overall deck is quite weak.
This is an ultimate deck that can only be used by duelists with fully optimized deck synergies.
If he were to redeem and use this, Jiang He was truly unsure whether it would be his opponent or himself who would suffer the most.
Therefore, Jiang He decisively skipped over them again and looked at the two genuine underworld card deck exchange options!
The Final Countdown Deck is clearly a ruthless, tanky deck that uses the Spell Card Final Countdown to achieve an absurd effect, similar to the Exodia the Forbidden One, where reaching a certain number of turns allows for an instant victory.
This Hummingbird Earthbound Immortal Deck undoubtedly refers to the Mark of the Earthbound Immortal: Hummingbird Mark. The Earthbound Immortal card represented by the Hummingbird Seal has an effect that is very dark and evil, centered around the Hummingbird Earthbound Immortal monster, a dark and evil resurrection deck!
"I didn't expect there really was Earthbound Immortal deck available for exchange..." Jiang He's eyes lit up when he saw the Hummingbird Earthbound Immortal Deck.
He suddenly realized that it wasn't so hard to accept that the Mark of the Earthbound Immortal: Hummingbird Mark, was more expensive than the previous Mark of the Crimson Dragon!
After all, this Earthbound Immortal Card is a "God Card" that contains even greater power than the Sacred Beasts!
Even when dueling in the real world, he can unleash his full power!
The existence of this Mark of the Earthbound Immortal: Hummingbird Mark, is proof that he can control the gods!
Otherwise, just as the Egyptian God Cards would be subject to divine punishment when used by someone who was not chosen, turning the blasphemer to dust as a form of retribution, others would also be unable to use this Earthbound Immortal Card at all!
After considering it for a moment, Jiang He decisively chose to redeem both of the underworld card sets!
After all, the latter can only be used at the right time.
It's inconvenient to use it when facing ordinary duelists.
Otherwise, the power of the Earthbound Immortal would probably be able to devour the opponent whole... while the former can be used at any time!
For example, when dealing with that professional duelist hunter hired by Sartorius... X! Jiang He was almost certain that, given Sartorius's cunning nature, it wouldn't be long before he took advantage of the rules of the World Duel Tournament GX to arrange for him to duel! Knock knock knock
Jiang He had just redeemed the card deck and was considering it when...
Suddenly, a somewhat anxious knocking sounded at the door.
Jiang He instantly sensed a familiar aura.
After he exchanged a glance with Alexis Rhodes and Rei Saotome beside him, Camula went to open the door.
Soon, his goofy little brother Tyranno Hassleberry, along with Syrus Truesdale Sho and Chumley, appeared there!
At this moment, they all wore expressions of anxiety and seriousness.
"Senior, a man claiming to be a professional duelist named X has come to the Slifer Red Dormitory and challenges you to a duel! He's currently confronting Chazz Princeton and Senior Kaiser!"
Upon seeing the door open and Jiang He sitting on the sofa, Tyranno Hassleberry immediately spoke to him.
