Black Dragon City.
A metropolis that was once prosperous.
But.
With the decline of the True Red-Eyes clan.
Black Dragon City, originally a city of duels, lost its initial sanctity.
Countless duelists left Black Dragon City.
The city's construction has been stuck in the past few decades.
Most of the city's buildings still retain their 20th-century appearance.
Of course.
As a city of duels that was once prosperous.
The duel card shops here still retain a strong atmosphere of duels.
Walking into Black Dragon City's largest card mall.
In the lobby, people can be seen dueling everywhere.
And on the shelves on both sides.
All sorts of cards are lined up here.
Of course, the cards that can appear in the public are all ordinary cards that have been eliminated from the upper tier.
As for some cards that can form a series, you can only dream of them.
So the cards used by the people dueling in the entire card lobby all have an ancient flavor.
But everyone seems to be used to it.
Even Lu Xiao Xue didn't feel out of place in this low-intensity competition.
"The duel class in this world is really serious..."
Looking at the people gathered there watching the duels, You Yang muttered to himself.
This world respects duels.
Dueling strength represents social status.
But using these cards.
Even a one-on-one duel between ordinary people won't make any waves.
Let alone something like status.
No wonder the Dong Hua Duel Academy couldn't find any talented duelists.
Truly talented duelists have long been buried among the general public.
Perhaps they gradually lose their talents in the grind of life.
Even worse, some people probably never know in their entire lives whether they have dueling talent or not.
"So, no wonder Dong Hua Duel is declining... How can it develop under such a dueling environment?"
Of course, You Yang also knows that the entire duel world is facing this situation.
Top-tier families are unwilling to let go of the resources in their hands.
Lower-tier people don't have the opportunity to access advanced cards and will never have a chance to rise.
"It's really unsolvable..."
You Yang shakes his head.
Unless there's someone who can shake the entire duel world, someone who can punch through this solidified duel class with one punch.
Otherwise, no matter what you do, it's meaningless.
Of course, You Yang doesn't think he's someone who can change the world.
He's still trying to find a way to return to his own world.
Although he doesn't have any leads at the moment, he's sure that the way to return to his own world is definitely hidden in his system.
Maybe as long as he keeps dueling, keeps going.
Sooner or later, he will find a way to return to his own world.
"You Yang, You Yang, over here, over here."
As he was thinking, Lu Xiao Xue's voice from afar broke You Yang's contemplation.
He put away his thoughts and smiled, waving to Lu Xiao Xue.
However, just as he was about to walk over.
A strong sense of incongruity suddenly made You Yang frown.
The Milky Way Eye Sprite and the Rapid-Attack Raptor Sprite attached to You Yang seemed to sense something and let out warning cries at the same time.
You Yang turned to look.
He saw two people in black hooded cloaks, dressed completely differently from modern society and incredibly conspicuous, standing in the crowd not far away, seemingly observing something.
One tall, one short, their faces were hidden by the hoods, their gender indistinguishable.
And for some reason.
You Yang felt a bit uncomfortable from these two people.
This feeling was similar to what he felt when he first came to this world and dueled against a guy named Hai Tian.
Dark Duelist?
Something flashed in You Yang's mind.
Speaking of which, the Hai Tian he met when he first came to this world seemed to use Dark Duel.
At that time, Lu Xiao Xue was also quite surprised by Hai Tian's Dark Duel, calling it 'a forbidden duel technique in the duel world'.
Later, You Yang didn't ask too much about Dark Duel.
Lu Xiao Xue didn't mention it too much either, so You Yang just forgot about it.
But today, feeling the dark aura from two unknown people made You Yang curious again.
However, he didn't show anything and went back to Lu Xiao Xue's side.
Lu Xiao Xue had already bought a new box of cards.
She paid, and was sitting there happily opening the card box.
"Ya, You Yang, You Yang, look, I got a 'Fusion' from the card box!"
Looking at Lu Xiao Xue's childlike smile.
You Yang smiled faintly.
But his gaze involuntarily went back to the two tall and short people in the distance.
"Speaking of which, Xiao Xue, do you remember the Dark Duel that Hai Tian used that night."
"Eh?"
Lu Xiao Xue froze, the smile on her face instantly disappearing.
Obviously, Lu Xiao Xue seemed to be a bit afraid of Dark Duel.
"You Yang, you can't talk about this in front of so many people." Lu Xiao Xue quickly whispered to You Yang, pulling him towards a quiet restaurant.
Seeing Lu Xiao Xue so wary, You Yang blinked, feeling a little confused.
It seems.
In this world, Dark Duel is really quite taboo...
They came to the restaurant and Lu Xiao Xue took You Yang to a quiet corner.
Seeing that there was no one around paying attention.
Lu Xiao Xue turned to You Yang with a serious expression and said.
"You Yang, we must never, ever tell anyone about what happened that night!"
"Because Dark Duel is really a taboo thing!"
"Once you're found to be related to Dark Duelists, whether you've learned Dark Duel or not, you will be treated as a heretic and eliminated directly!"
Lu Xiao Xue said seriously.
"It's truly eliminating you!"
嘶......
That serious?
Hearing Lu Xiao Xue's words, You Yang couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
What kind of evil has Dark Duel done in this world?
......
