Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck, Depressing the World
Just two days ago, he had a duel with King Jack Atlas, which triggered the Crimson Dragon Mark that both of them possessed.
He is a Signer.
He couldn't explain much about the other party's identity and name to Jiang He and the others yet!
However, Jiang He had already recognized the person who had fled into the wealthy area at a glance when he saw the red motorcycle and the iconic blue jacket.
It should be this New Domino City, or rather, a chosen one who was originally supposed to appear decades later, just like that hot-blooded idiot Jaden Yuki, Yusei Fudo!
Based on his recollection, the other party had fled into the wealthy area and had a mark on his face that only criminals would have, indicating that he had recently fought his "best buddy" Jack Atlas, the car crash king, and both of them had activated their latent Crimson Dragon Mark!
Jiang He didn't dwell on this little incident for the time being...
Anyway, the other person is also participating in the Fortune Cup World Duel Tournament, so we should be able to meet again soon!
"Then, Prince Jiang He, and everyone from the Duel Academy, I shall take my leave."
After leading the way to the residential area of the wealthy and the villa next door, the short, white-haired Lazar the Clown quickly bowed to Jiang He and said...
He still had a lot to do, especially with that "bug" that Goodwin was taking very seriously and who had escaped into the wealthy neighborhood!
Immediately, the short, white-haired Lazar the Clown also hurriedly led his men away, trotting away with his short legs!
"There shouldn't be any situation lately where the Security Maintenance Bureau comes to the wealthy area to search for 0.4 every day, right?"
After the other party left, Jaden Yuki and Chazz Princeton followed Jiang He to the villa for a visit. The silly brother-in-law, Atticus Rhodes room and couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking?"
He wasn't actually participating in the Fortune Cup World Duel Tournament; he was just there to join in the fun and have some fun.
"Compared to that, I'm more interested in who my first opponent will be in the World Duel Tournament that starts this Chazz Princeton Thunder!"
Chazz Princeton confidently crossed his arms and laughed.
His professional duelist debut is coming soon!

"If I lose the very first match, my professional dueling career will be over before it even begins."
Hearing Chazz Princeton's silly words, Kaiser Zane Truesdale chuckled and made a rare joke.
"Even among the world's many powerful duelists, no one has yet been born who could defeat Chazz Princeton Thunder."
Upon hearing Chazz Princeton immediately spoke with confidence.
"No, theoretically, if you were to accidentally run into Jiang He in your very first duel, your professional dueling career might very well end before it even begins."
Bastion Misawa nearby, added insult to injury by saying this.
"..." Chazz Princeton's expression froze instantly, falling into silence and a state of utter annoyance!
It seems that it's not entirely impossible!
It is said that the rules for this Fortune Cup World Duel Tournament are that opponents will be determined through a selection process shown on a live screen.
It wasn't even through a lottery or similar method.
In other words, everything is random.
The probability of him encountering Jiang He at the very beginning due to bad luck isn't entirely zero...
Although Chazz Princeton was quite confident in his own strength, he still had a certain degree of self-awareness.
Not only would he be in trouble if he encountered Jiang He, but even if it were that hot-blooded idiot Jaden Yuki or Zane Truesdale, they would most likely be no match for him...!
Even Akiza Izinski started to have some worries.
She had already received an invitation to the Fortune Cup World Duel Tournament before joining the Duel Academy.
Therefore, they will also participate in this World Duel Tournament.
She really didn't want to run into Jiang He again if she accidentally did that...!
"You guys don't actually believe that this so-called random selection of opponents is completely random, do you?"
Jiang He simply shook his head at this.
His words immediately caused Alexis Rhodes nearby, as well as Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, and the others sitting on the carpet on the other side, to look at him with suspicion and curiosity.
Does this mean that the Security Maintenance Bureau, as the organizer, might artificially control the arrangement of duel opponents?
"Based on what I got from that white-haired Lazar the Clown, as the organizers, while it's impossible for them to make it very obvious, especially for us, it's also impossible for them to make no arrangements at all."
Jiang He gave a direct affirmative answer.
Based on his understanding of the Security Maintenance Bureau, Goodwin, given the old fox's cunning and scheming in wanting to simultaneously obtain the power of the Crimson Dragon and the Earthbound Immortal to become a true god, it was clear that he would have secretly manipulated this Fortune Cup World Duel Tournament in some way!
As for the people from his own Duel Academy, Jiang He estimated that Goodwin, that old schemer, would probably give them a little preferential treatment.
This was used to appease him, the honorary prince of the Serpent God Kingdom, so as not to affect the plan.
And indeed, things turned out exactly as Jiang He had predicted.
At noon, inside the huge professional dueling arena in New Domino City.
When Jiang He and his group arrived, the venue was already packed with spectators in the seats around the perimeter.
It almost filled all the seats on the side, enough to seat tens of thousands of people.
On the distant stage, there was a huge screen, and next to it was even a sizable statue of a Red Dragon Archfiend!
As a symbol of Jack Atlas's ascension to the throne as the number one professional duelist in New Domino City!
"Although this isn't my first time here, the venue seems much bigger this time with the addition of spectators."
Jaden Yuki excitedly looked around and said!
Even Chazz Princeton, Bastion Misawa, Kaiser Zane Truesdale all showed a hint of shock.
This was also their first time experiencing what a professional dueling arena was like with an audience!
"This is a common scene in professional duels. If you show too much surprise, the people from New Domino City will look down on you."
Just then, a familiar voice came from not far away.
Jiang He and the others turned their heads and saw the little gray- Aster Phoenix walking over, accompanied by an assistant who was helping to carry his suitcase.
I don't know if the box contains a card deck or something like Duel Disk.
Jiang He even had a slightly wicked suspicion: could this box contain something like a "D-Board"...?
After all, it seems that Ed Aster Phoenix, has hobbies such as skydiving and surfing.
It's not entirely impossible!
"Aster Phoenix, are you also planning to participate in this Fortune Cup World Duel Tournament?" Upon seeing the little gray-haired boy, the short Syrus Truesdale asked in surprise.
Jaden Yuki and the Chazz Princeton looked at the approaching gray-haired Aster with a puzzled expression. "After all, the professional dueling world will soon belong to New Domino City. As a former professional duelist, I naturally need to adapt to this environment and understand my future opponents," Aster Phoenix said matter-of-factly.
"However, I also received a commission from the Security Maintenance Bureau, hoping that I could defeat a little girl with twin tails in a duel. It seems that this duel is not entirely fair."
His words directly and indirectly confirmed Jiang He's earlier statement!

"A little girl with pigtails...?"
Upon hearing Aster Phoenix's words, Jiang He's expression immediately turned somewhat strange.
Then he looked towards the audience's seats in the distance!
There stood a little girl with green hair and pigtails, wearing a red hat, a white short-sleeved jacket, and a red dress underneath!
Accompanying them were an elderly man and a middle-aged man with a scarred face and a spiky, hedgehog-like hairstyle.
Although they were far apart, Jiang He could still vaguely sense a faint energy of the Crimson Dragon Mark from the direction of the little girl.
Clearly, the target that old fox Goodwin paid a hefty sum to have this little grey- Aster Phoenix defeat was this very girl!
However, at this moment, among the people who had already stood on the stage in the participant area of the Fortune Cup World Duel Tournament, Jiang He also saw a child with green hair and twin ponytails who looked very similar to the little girl with green hair and twin ponytails!
Both their appearance and clothing are almost identical to the former!
If Jiang He hadn't already known who the other person was and had a clear idea of who it was, thus being able to spot the other person's posture and other features at a glance, and if the other person hadn't resembled a little boy, he probably wouldn't have been able to tell the difference between the other person and the little girl with pigtails sitting in the audience!
However, Jiang He didn't intend to remind the little gray- Aster Phoenix which one was the real target of the other party's commission.
Based on his understanding of this little gray-haired guy's personality, he figured the guy probably didn't care at all whether the other party was Goodwin's real target or not.
As long as the task appears to have been completed on the surface, that's fine!
Besides the green-haired boy with deliberately pigtails, Jiang He also saw a familiar figure next to him with an orange-yellow mark on his face!
"Speaking of which, that guy with the mark on his face seems to look somewhat like the fugitive riding a 'D-wheel' that we encountered in the wealthy area this morning."
Alexis Rhodes nearby, noticed the situation on the stage in the contestants' area and couldn't help but express her surprise.
Upon hearing this, everyone else couldn't help but look in that direction!
Before they could say anything more, a middle-aged man with a mustache and a pompadour, wearing a pink suit, appeared there holding a microphone!
Even the cunning old man Goodwin, arrived at the stage in the middle of the arena, accompanied by the short, white-haired Lazar the Clown.
Clearly, the Fortune Cup World Duel Tournament is about to officially begin.
Seeing this, Jiang He and the others didn't say anything more and walked directly towards the stage in the participants' area.
Meanwhile, Alexis Rhodes, along with her devoted fans Rei Saotome, Bastion Misawa, and others, went to the spectator area seats next to the stadium.
When Jiang He and his group finally arrived on stage, many people around them immediately cast scrutinizing glances at them.
It's quite rare to see someone arrive later than the official in charge of the New Domino City. Meanwhile, that old fox, Goodwin, showed absolutely no displeasure; he even gave Jiang He a slight nod and a friendly gesture.
Until he achieves his goal, it is best to maintain a friendly relationship with an existence like the Serpent God Kingdom, which possesses the power to destroy the world!
"Especially since Prince Jiang He's identity seems to be on par with that of Prince Ojin, who controls the Serpent God Kingdom!" "Gentlemen, although New Domino City came from a region decades in the future due to unforeseen circumstances, now that we're here and can't go back, it's necessary to integrate into this world."
Goodwin, with his silver-gray hair, quickly stepped onto the stage wearing white gloves and addressed everyone around the arena: "Therefore, as the Security Maintenance Bureau, Rex Goodwin has organized this Fortune Cup World Duel Tournament. Now, I hereby declare the Fortune Cup World Duel Tournament officially open!" "Wow!!"
As Goodwin finished speaking, applause and cheers erupted from the large audience seats around the arena! Jiang He couldn't help but click his tongue in admiration; he could only think, "This old fox certainly knows how to talk a good game..."
If he hadn't known that the other party's goal was to find all the Signer and awaken the original Crimson Dragon Quetzalcoatl...
He almost believed Zhuang!
Soon after the old fox Goodwin made his official announcement, the host, a man in a pink suit with a pompadour standing next to him, also quickly took the microphone and began to announce the details of the match!
"Now let's see who will be fighting whom in the first round of duels shown on the screen!"
As the pink-suited, pompadour-haired host finished speaking, a row of portrait images on the oval screen in the distance began to change continuously!
Finally, it all froze in time!

"Alright! The order of the first round duels for the thirty duelists has been completely determined!" The male host, wearing a pink suit and sporting a pompadour, shouted passionately into the microphone!
"Let me introduce you. Our opening duelist is Aster Phoenix, a genius professional duelist who has set a winning streak record in the real-world dueling world! He will face off against the youngest duelist in New Domino City, the angelic duelist descended to earth, Ms. Luna!" "The angelic duelist descended to earth..."
Hearing the rather unique introduction from the host, who was wearing a bright pink suit and had a pompadour hairstyle, Jiang He couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
