"Zhao Mengmeng isn't a pushover. Although I know you don't like her anymore, her strength is still undeniable. Someone said before that Young Master Hua of the Wind Class and Zhao Mengmeng of the Earth Class both have formidable strength." Chen Ming blinked. He had thought You Feng would pick a weakling to fight, who knew he'd choose Zhao Mengmeng.
"I'm not even afraid of Young Master Hua, so why should I be afraid of Zhao Mengmeng?" You Feng shrugged.
"That's true, but Zhao Mengmeng's brother is a bit troublesome. If he knows you challenged his sister, he might step in." Chen Ming was actually more worried about this point.
"Who is her brother?" You Feng frowned.
"Her brother is Zhao Nanfeng, one of the top ten strongest competitors in the third year. He's a Master-level competitor, far above Platinum." Chen Ming hadn't even had time to explain before Mu Yuxi beside him already spoke with her cherry lips.
"Yes, yes, yes, Senior Mu is right!" Chen Ming rarely found such an opportunity and shamelessly flattered her.
You Feng's lips twitched. Chen Ming truly demonstrated the terror of a sycophant.
"Isn't it the case that there are no third-year academy matters today? Why are you two here?" You Feng suddenly asked.
"Because we specially came to watch your assessment today," Mu Yuxi said, propping her cheek, with a faint smile.
"Damn it! When did you two hook up?" Chen Ming's heart instantly shattered upon hearing this.
You Feng blinked, but didn't pay it much mind. He never believed he could be liked by a girl at first sight, unless that girl was a brainless fanatic, but Mu Yuxi clearly wasn't. This girl simply wanted to learn more about his deck. After all, his deck was indeed too astonishing at first.
"Time up!! Duel start!!"
"Next is the first match! The first match is a challenge from a transfer student for the first time. This transfer student is You Ke!" The duel was presided over by a young host. As for Dean Yun, after announcing the rules, he had already returned to his judging seat. This time, the judging panel also had many big shots present. The CEOs of Baidu, NetEase Cloud, Alibaba, and so on. They were all business magnates, and also powerful duelists. Every year, they were very happy to participate in any school's assessments and competitions because they needed to compete for more talent.
Because of this, Duel Academy also became a place where many people could rise from obscurity, which is why those people would even smash their pots and sell their iron to get into Duel Academy.
"First, let's introduce this young man named You Ke!"
"He won the championship in the Youjia Village Youth Duel Tournament!"
"He participated in the municipal youth duel tournament and achieved his best ranking, fifth place!"
"His combined scores across all subjects in the comprehensive exam reached 540 out of a total of 600!"
"It's clear that this transfer student is not to be underestimated, and he's coming on strong. Who will be so unlucky as to be chosen by him?" The host left a bit of suspense.
"Oh my, this transfer student is a bit fierce. Not many of us first-years are that powerful."
"This is awesome. It feels like whoever gets picked is going to kick the bucket."
"I hope I'm not chosen!"
Gasps of surprise clearly satisfied You Ke's vanity.
"The person You Ke chose also shares the surname You! His name is You Feng!!" The host's final word dropped, and the entire arena erupted.
"It's You Feng? Oh my!"
"Is there some deep-seated grudge here? Old acquaintances meet old acquaintances, with a shot in the back?"
"You Feng is not what he used to be. It's hard to say."
"I watched You Feng's duel against Young Master Hua last time. Although it was short, the chain was too terrifying."
"I, however, think he just happened to take him on casually."
Zhao Mengmeng's lips curved upwards upon hearing this.
"You Feng! You ignored me. Now, without me even having to act, you're going to be disgraced."
...
"Damn it, is that really your cousin? He actually challenged you!" Chen Ming was instantly enraged when he saw this.
You Feng seemed unsurprised. He slowly stood up, smiling faintly: "Couldn't ask for more!"
Mu Yuxi kept staring at You Feng, seemingly observing his expression, but this guy showed no change at all. You Feng, under the gaze of thousands, slowly walked onto the dueling field. Anyone with slightly weaker resistance to pressure would already be panicking standing here, which is why many people get nervous when dueling here compared to regular duels. But You Feng did not. He opened his Duel Disk, inserted his deck, then took the microphone from the host.
"I have only one thing to say…"
"This duel, plus a wager: the loser offers their most precious card!" You Feng's words were astonishing. Even You Feng's parents were stunned. Is this child crazy? They were already worried, and now You Feng was raising the stakes?
"Hahahaha… Good! Very good! Seeing your idiotic confidence, I'm very impressed. It seems you've become courageous over the years." You Ke laughed instead of getting angry.
"Duel start!!"
