As wave after wave of students completed their assessments.
The Duel Academy's practical assessment came to an end.
Although her practical assessment ranked second, Lu Xiao Xue still managed to secure the overall first place with her excellent written test results, and she graduated successfully.
Just as the assessment ended and the candidates were about to leave.
A broadcast suddenly sounded.
“Please stay for those who ranked within the top ten in the overall assessment.”
“Other candidates, please leave in an orderly manner.”
Top ten in the overall assessment?
Lu Xiao Xue looked at You Yang with a puzzled expression.
She was already about to pack up and leave, but she didn't expect to encounter this.
“Let's stay and see what it's about.”
You Yang had a hunch about what was going on.
This might have something to do with the old man from the Eastern Hua Duel Academy.
The two sat down again.
In the Duel Hall, besides You Yang and Lu Xiao Xue, the other top ten students also stayed.
And the son of the mayor, Li Ze, also stayed, thanks to his average ranking of tenth after his poor performance in the practical assessment.
As expected.
Soon, the mayor arrived at the Duel Hall with Director Long.
“Ahem, if you're all staying here, then it means you're the most outstanding students of the Black Dragon Duel Academy.”
The mayor walked onto the stage. He changed his fawning demeanor towards Director Long and looked at the students in the hall with his beer belly puffed out.
“Our school has specially invited the Director of Admissions of the Eastern Hua Duel Academy, Long Qian, an elder of great renown, to conduct the final assessment for you all.”
“Students who pass this assessment will have the opportunity to be eligible for the Eastern Hua Duel Academy entrance exam!”
Eligibility for the Eastern Hua Duel Academy entrance exam?!
Upon hearing this news, everyone in the hall gasped.
Even Li Ze, who was a slacker, couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
Seeing everyone's exaggerated expressions, You Yang couldn't help but quietly ask Lu Xiao Xue.
“What's wrong? Is the Eastern Hua Duel Academy very strong?”
“Of course it is strong, it's not just a little bit strong.” Lu Xiao Xue said excitedly.
“The Eastern Hua Duel Academy is the strongest and largest Duel Academy in the entire Eastern Hua Nation.”
“Even on a global scale, it ranks among the top five academies!”
“Is this really true? How could the Eastern Hua Duel Academy come to recruit students in our Black Dragon City......”
You Yang nodded.
So the Eastern Hua Duel Academy mentioned in the newspaper was so famous.
Being able to rank among the top five in the world was indeed a remarkable Duel Academy.
Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Mayor Li cleared his throat, then switched back to his fawning face towards Long Qian.
“Director Long, please say a few words.”
The mayor was about to hand over the microphone.
But Long Qian raised his hand and refused the microphone.
He scanned the crowd and spoke slowly, his loud voice clearly reaching everyone's ears.
“There's no need for unnecessary words. I'm sure you all know that the Eastern Hua Duel Academy is a top-tier academy in the Eastern Hua Nation with the most abundant teaching resources.”
“After suspending admissions for five years, this year marks the resumption of admissions for the Eastern Hua Duel Academy.”
“This year's admission standards are stricter than previous years, it's not about getting first place in a so-called written exam or practical assessment here. It's not enough to be eligible for the Eastern Hua Duel Academy entrance exam.”
Long Qian took ten blank cards from the card case on his waist.
“Today, I'm not testing your Dueling strength. This blank card is a test card from the Eastern Hua Duel Academy to test a Duelist's Dueling talent.”
“Line up to receive a card and channel your Dueling power into the card. The card will display the Summoning Talent you possess.”
Huh?
You Yang, sitting in the audience, twitched his lips.
Man, this feels so familiar.
You wouldn't happen to be from the set of a fantasy movie, would you?
“Alright, that's all I have to say. Please come forward to receive your cards.”
At Long Qian's signal, the ten candidates in the hall each received a test card.
One of the candidates, after receiving the test card, immediately opened his Duel Disk and attached the card to it.
“Summon!”
With a faint light flashing from the Duel Disk.
The originally blank card also changed slightly under the influence of the candidate's Dueling power.
The white card surface faintly glowed purple and stopped after a while.
“A bit of Fusion Talent......”
“But unfortunately, it's too weak.”
Long Qian raised his eyelids slightly, then turned to another candidate, no longer paying attention to the first.
The candidate's expression also changed from initial anticipation to disappointment. He could only leave with regret.
“What a ‘unique’ testing method......”
You Yang, who was initially full of complaints, gradually felt a sense of novelty.
You know what?
This actually makes sense in the Duel world.
And, in this Duel world, there are also real Duel Spirits and Dueling power.
These things, which have a completely different style from Duel Monsters.
They actually fit together seamlessly.
“Amazing...... so amazing......”
You Yang muttered softly.
At this moment, Long Qian also walked in front of Li Ze.
Li Ze, seeing the card on his Duel Disk with no reaction, had beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
“It seems you have no Summoning Talent......”
Long Qian only glanced at him, then turned away.
Leaving Li Ze standing there with a pale face, clutching the test card in his hand and trembling.
What...
What are you kidding?
I...... I have absolutely no Summoning Talent?
Damn it.
My dad...... my dad is the mayor...... the mayor!
Does this damn Black Market Duel Disk not have any way to add Summoning Talent to the card!
At this time, Long Qian walked in front of Lu Xiao Xue.
Lu Xiao Xue had also inserted the card into her Duel Disk.
As Lu Xiao Xue shouted “Summon.”
A dazzling purple light instantly filled the blank card!
And within that purple light, there was even a mixture of faint blue, black, and white light interwoven!
Everyone was stunned by the card in Lu Xiao Xue's hand.
Even Long Qian showed a look of surprise.
“Quite a powerful Fusion Summoning Talent, and some Xyz, Synchro, and Ritual Summoning Talent?”
“A Duelist with four Summoning Talents?!”
Four Summoning Talents?!
Lu Xiao Xue looked at the card in her hand with a puzzled expression.
She was obviously a little overwhelmed.
Looking at the card in Lu Xiao Xue's hand, Long Qian's expression changed slightly.
He knew this girl was the heir to the True Red-Eyes family.
But he didn't expect that the True Red-Eyes family, which had long fallen into decline.
Would another genius be born?
However......
Long Qian frowned.
He remembered what the old bastard, the principal, had told him.
The genius who appeared in Black Dragon City was a true all-round talent, proficient in all six Summoning Techniques.
Lu Xiao Xue's talent did surprise Long Qian.
But these four lights also proved that Lu Xiao Xue wasn't the one Long Qian was looking for.
However...... such talent shouldn't be wasted......
“Not bad.”
Long Qian remained silent for a moment and uttered those two words.
Lu Xiao Xue almost jumped for joy.
She quickly ran to You Yang's side and happily hugged him.
“You Yang! I did it! I did it!”
After being happy for a long time, Lu Xiao Xue realized that her actions were a bit inappropriate and quickly blushed and left You Yang.
“I'm so, sorry, I got too excited!”
“It's okay, it's okay.” You Yang waved his hand, he didn't suffer any loss after all, he was happy to take advantage of it.
He was fine, of course.
He didn't notice that Li Ze was staring at You Yang and Lu Xiao Xue with a venomous look.
Not being able to detect any Summoning Talent had already made Li Ze崩溃(overwhelmed, devastated).
Now, seeing the girl he had a crush on get so close with another guy, even hugging.
This made Li Ze, who had been pampered and arrogant since childhood, completely burst at this moment.
He clenched his teeth.
His fists clenched tightly.
......
At this time, Long Qian had already checked everyone's test cards.
But unfortunately, none of these people were the ‘all-round genius’ that Long Qian was looking for.
This made Long Qian puzzled.
Was that old bastard playing tricks on him?
In the entire Eastern Hua Nation, it was already a rare occurrence to find someone who could simultaneously master three or more Summoning Techniques.
Not to mention mastering all six Summoning Techniques.
Even in the world, the truly capable ones would only be considered half a person.
Because such people would no longer be considered human.
They were gods.
They were the true Duel Kings, who lived only in legends thousands of years old, bathed in the blood of Phantom Gods.
If such a person really appeared in the world.
The world would probably tremble before them, right?
However, Long Qian had still found a genius with a very rare four-system Summoning Talent.
He could go back and report to the Academy......
Just as Long Qian was about to leave and visit the True Red-Eyes family mansion after a while.
A roar of anger suddenly broke the peace.
“I challenge you to a duel!”
Li Ze suddenly stood up and pointed at You Yang.
His face was contorted with anger and resentment, making him look even more hideous.
“I challenge you to a Battlefield Duel with this guy!”
?!
With Li Ze's sudden outburst.
The crowd erupted in gasps.
Even Long Qian couldn't help but frown.
Battlefield Duel.
Unlike the simulated duels in the academy.
This was a real duel.
The damage received, as well as the destruction caused by the Duel Monsters, would all be faithfully replicated, a truly real duel!
What kind of hatred could lead to such a duel?
“Ah?”
However, You Yang, the target of Li Ze's challenge, was still clueless.
Wait......
Who are you, dude?
......
