“Mr. You Yang, the master wants you to go over there.”
In the courtyard.
Lei Li found You Yang, who was helping Lu Xiao Xue train in Ritual Summoning, and spoke respectfully.
His gaze inadvertently glanced at Lu Xiao Xue.
But he found that at this moment, Lu Xiao Xue had already summoned a four-star Ritual Monster, [Giant Rock Relic - Orcus]!
Lei Li was secretly surprised.
Although it was only a four-star Ritual Monster.
But the accumulation from nothing to something is always the hardest step to take.
In just one day, Miss has mastered the summoning of a four-star Ritual Monster.
This kind of teaching ability.
Even some teachers from advanced Dueling Academies wouldn’t be able to achieve this.
Mr. You Yang not only has strong dueling skills, but his teaching ability is also so strong?
“I know.”
You Yang nodded in acknowledgment when he heard Lei Li’s words.
When he saw Long Qian coming.
He already knew that this old man, Long Qian, was definitely here for him.
Just right.
You Yang also wanted to find this old man.
“You Yang, I’ll go with you.”
Lu Xiao Xue also quickly put away her Duel Disk and followed You Yang.
You Yang smiled and nodded, not refusing.
Lei Li watched silently from the side.
He wasn’t blind either.
These past few days, the interaction and contact between his Miss and You Yang had been a bit too close.
But after all, it was a matter of young people.
Lei Li didn’t say anything.
In fact, he was somewhat comforted to see the visible change in his Miss’s spirit these past few days.
...
Under Lei Li’s lead.
The three of them came to the living room.
As soon as You Yang entered, Long Qian smiled and got up to greet him.
“We meet again, young friend.”
“You’re too annoying, old man. I told you I’m not interested in any academy, how can you chase me to this place?”
You Yang looked at Long Qian with a face full of disdain.
“For a talent like you, young friend, what’s wrong with this old man being a bit thick-skinned?”
Long Qian didn’t seem angry.
As the recruitment director of the East Hua Dueling Academy, when facing those in high positions or people he deemed worthless.
He would indeed have a serious and unsmiling demeanor.
But when he encountered a genius like You Yang, Long Qian would still show considerable patience and kindness.
“Ahem, Xiao Xue, Director Long has personally brought you an assessment invitation letter from the East Hua Dueling Academy, quickly thank Director Long.”
Lu Cheng also quickly handed the invitation letter to Lu Xiao Xue, gesturing with his eyes.
Upon seeing the invitation letter in her hand, Lu Xiao Xue’s eyes lit up with excitement.
She looked at You Yang with joy, and then hurriedly bowed to Long Qian, thanking him: “Thank you, Director Long!”
“Well, no need to thank me, this is just a stepping stone to participate in the assessment. Whether you can pass or not depends on your own efforts.”
Long Qian stroked his beard and nodded slightly.
“I, I will definitely work hard!”
Lu Xiao Xue said excitedly.
No matter what, this was an opportunity.
It was an opportunity to change the fate of the True Red-Eyes clan.
To change her own fate.
To get closer to You Yang!
You Yang also felt happy for Lu Xiao Xue.
But then, he looked at Long Qian with some suspicion.
“Young friend, don’t overthink it. This old man does want to recruit you to the academy, but it’s not to the point of using the assessment opportunity as a gift.”
Long Qian could sense what You Yang was thinking. He raised his eyelids and said earnestly.
“That’s good.”
You Yang nodded, his opinion of this old man slightly improved.
If he had given Lu Xiao Xue this specifically to please him.
Then he would have given Long Qian a negative score in You Yang’s mind.
Lu Cheng and Lei Li exchanged glances.
How did it feel like these two were a bit “inverted?”
One was begging for admission.
The other was evaluating the other.
Was this recruiting, or recruiting an ancestor?
“Young friend, would you be willing to come out and have a private talk with this old man?”
Long Qian looked at You Yang and asked.
“Alright.”
You Yang happened to have something he wanted to ask Long Qian.
This private conversation was a good opportunity.
“Um… then you guys please stay here, I’ll have a private conversation with the young friend.”
Signaling Lu Cheng and the others not to follow, Long Qian walked outside.
“You Yang......”
Lu Xiao Xue tugged on You Yang’s sleeve, her eyes filled with worry.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.”
You Yang smiled calmly.
Coming to the courtyard.
Long Qian was leaning on his dragon-headed cane, standing outside waiting for You Yang.
“Young friend, you’ve come.”
Seeing You Yang come out, Long Qian stroked his white beard.
“Young friend, do you know why this old man is so persistent in wanting you?”
You Yang walked beside Long Qian, glancing at this old man.
Long Qian’s beard-stroking motion gradually stopped. He looked towards the distant sky.
“The Dueling world is changing rapidly nowadays.”
“Azure Blue Nation, Jade Dragon Nation, Flowering Sakura Nation… relying on the powerful Dueling clans of their respective nations, and the continuous supply of Dueling geniuses from within their clans, their national power is unprecedentedly strong.”
“And East Hua Nation, the former ancient dueling nation, is now on the decline… ”
As he spoke, Long Qian paused, not continuing.
It wasn’t just the True Red-Eyes clan that was declining in East Hua Nation.
The True Red-Eyes clan.
It was like a microcosm of the entire East Hua Nation.
Whether it was the other major clans or the East Hua Dueling Academy.
Their decline was inevitable.
The Dueling world always follows the rule of the strong preying on the weak.
Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp.
Although East Hua Nation still had some say on the international stage, relying on the foundation of its former dueling strength.
But anyone with eyes could see.
The declining ancient nation would eventually become the spoils to be divided by the other powers.
“The East Hua Dueling Academy is now reopening for recruitment, also wanting to try to reverse the decline of the East Hua Dueling Academy, and the decline of the entire East Hua dueling world…”
“Ahem, sorry, I’m old, I accidentally said too much.”
Seemingly realizing he had said too much.
Long Qian quickly stopped and looked at You Yang: “Young friend, don’t worry, this old man isn’t trying to coerce you with national righteousness.”
“This old man is just feeling emotional when he sees the current state of the True Red-Eyes clan.”
Looking up at the old True Red-Eyes symbol, Long Qian sighed softly.
This was also his true feelings.
As the recruitment director.
He had witnessed with his own eyes, over the past few decades, the decline of East Hua Nation from a place teeming with geniuses to one with dwindling talent.
He couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of regret.
He yearned for a genius like You Yang.
But he also knew that a genius like You Yang was something you could only hope for, not force.
If he was really not meant to be with the Dueling Academy.
Long Qian would be regretful, but he wouldn’t force him.
“Young friend’s strength and talent, if you stay in a small place like Black Dragon City, it’s a bit of a waste.”
“If young friend wants better development, this old man can recommend a stage where you can unleash your potential.”
Handing a business card to You Yang, Long Qian smiled and said.
Looking at the business card in his hand, You Yang’s expression remained calm.
Although Long Qian was sincere, every word came from his heart.
But You Yang was after all a transmigrator.
Even if Long Qian said more, You Yang couldn’t empathize with him.
However.
What Long Qian said did give You Yang a new idea.
The East Hua Dueling Academy.
Perhaps a good stepping stone for You Yang to achieve his goals.
But before that.
You Yang had one more thing he wanted to confirm.
“Old man, want to duel?”
“Eh?”
Seeing You Yang taking out his Duel Disk, Long Qian was taken aback.
“Between Duelists, it’s always best to settle things with a Duel, right?”
You Yang smiled slightly and attached the Duel Disk to his arm.
He wanted to see.
How many points this recruitment director of the East Hua Dueling Academy was worth.
