Who let him play Yu-Gi-Oh!

The body of the teacher at Daitokuji Temple.

However, when You Xuan looked at the mummy in the coffin, there was no trace of emotion on his face.

Because he was mentally prepared.

This body is indeed Daitokuji himself. But if you think about it, you will know that Daitokuji has been missing for only a few days, and this body has turned into a mummy, which means he has been dead for a long time.

So it was this body that died, not Daitokuji himself.

As mentioned before, Daitokuji had been seriously ill for a long time and devoted himself to studying alchemy to seek immortality. The body in front of him was his original body, and his soul had long been transferred to a new artificial body.

Perhaps he had already been an artificial human since the first time Yugen, Judai and others met Daitokuji.

You Xuan stared at the mummy in silence for a moment, then suddenly turned around slowly. He saw another figure appear at the door in the direction he came in.

The man was wearing a strange wide robe and a hood, and his face was completely hidden under the mask. But he was wearing a duel disk in his hand, and his figure looked quite tall. His eyes were coldly looking at You Xuan from the shadow under the hood.

The strongest among the Seven Star Cadres. Of course, You Xuan also knew that this was the missing Daitokuji himself.

"You have discovered this place."

A cold light flashed in the man's eyes.

"Then you don't have to go out anymore."

"Is that so?"

You Xuan didn't care and just smiled slightly.

He walked slowly forward, walked to the opposite side of the man, and stared at each other across the open space in the middle of the alchemy laboratory. The man's tall body blocked the direction of the door, and it was obvious that the only way to pass was to determine the winner through a duel.

"Dark Duel?" You Xuan asked.

“Of course.” The man’s voice was muffled under his hood, as if it had been processed by a voice changer. “If you defeat me, you will get out alive. Or you will die here and be covered up along with the secret you discovered.”

You Xuan sighed.

"Do we really have to continue acting like this, Master Daitokuji?"

Hooded Man: “.”

He hesitated for a few seconds.

He seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally reached out and with a snap, removed the hood and mask, revealing the face underneath.

"Oh my, is it that obvious?"

Under the mask was indeed Daitokuji. But unlike his usual harmless face, his face was now full of veins, and although his eyes were still narrowed, it was vaguely visible that they were no longer like those of an ordinary person, but were a demonic scarlet.

It was obvious that he had completely shed the disguise of a timid teacher in the past and now had the aura of a boss.

But when You Xuan saw his ferocious and somewhat vicious face, he understood something.

"I see, this is why you have been missing these days." You Xuan said, "Teacher, how long can your body last?"

Daitoku-ji Temple: “.”

There was silence for a few seconds, and then he laughed dryly twice.

"You really can't hide anything from me, You Xuan-san. No, now I should call you the Duel King."

As he spoke, he coughed twice and then wiped the corner of his mouth.

"I've never really understood you. So when did you first notice my secret? At the beginning?"

You Xuan did not answer this question: "So, do we really have to do this, Teacher?"

Daitoku-ji laughed twice.

"Of course. As you can see, I am a member of the Seven Stars, loyal to that master, and I came here for the key to unlock the seal of the Phantom Demon. I have been in the Duel Academy for this purpose since the beginning."

He said sharply as he unfolded the duel disk.

"I had expected that I would have to fight you, but I had planned to take the other keys first and then you.

But since you've already discovered it, it doesn't hurt to do it earlier."

His face suddenly turned cold and he shouted.

"Come on then!"

"Let the teacher see your ability as a Duel King!"

"As expected, we still have to fight."

You Xuan shrugged and also unfolded the duel disk to show his willingness to fight.

He knew that Daitokuji was about to die. Now the duel was Daitokuji's way of testing Yugen's qualifications as an alchemist and the only student he had personally taught for so long, and it was also Daitokuji's self-test.

Even if he loses the duel, Daitokuji probably won't really take his life. But he will be sucked into the alchemy book and locked up for a few days until he has tested all the students he wants to test.

Of course, You Xuan had no intention of losing.

"Duel!" x2

【You Xuan, LP 4000】

【Daitokuji Temple, LP 4000】

"I attack first, draw a card." Daitokuji said, "Activate the continuous magic 'Alchemical Cauldron - Chaos Refining'!" (Original card)

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge alchemical device rumbled onto his field, with boiling liquid churning inside it.

"As expected of an alchemy teacher." You Xuan asked, "Alchemy deck?"

"Yes, alchemy requires alchemy equipment. I taught you that." Daitokuji smiled. "The effect of the alchemy cauldron is that all cards sent to the graveyard are removed from the game."

It has a one-way macrocosm effect on the team, but it is also one of the core operations of Daitokuji's own deck. His alchemy does not require the graveyard at all, and only relies on exclusion to fight.

"Then activate the magic card 'Lead Compass'." Daitokuji said, "This card can only be activated when 'Alchemical Cauldron - Chaos Refining' is on the field.

Special summon an 'Alchemy Beast Lead Lion' from your hand or deck! ' (Original card)

The alchemical cauldron made a humming sound, and a lion made of lead roared and leaped out of the cauldron and landed on the field.

[Alchemy Beast: Lead Lion, Attack Power 500]

"Two cards, the turn is over." Daitokuji said calmly, "Okay, it's your turn.

Come, let me see the king’s duel.”

"I am just your student. But since the teacher wants to test my achievements, I will naturally do my best."

You Xuan said modestly.

“My turn, draw a card.

I summon the 'Survivor from Another Dimension.'"

[Survivor from another dimension, attack power 1800]

"Oh? A monster that is resistant to being banished, and has the ability to revive itself even if it is banished from the game." Daitokuji smiled, "He is truly the student who knows me best.

Is this a deck that has a countermeasure against my Macrocosm? "

"After all, if we use a graveyard-dependent deck against the teacher, wouldn't we lose half the battle before it even starts?" You Xuan smiled.

“Then I’m going to go, teacher, be careful.

Fight. Survivors from another dimension attack the Alchemy Beast Lead Lion. "

The lion, with only 500 panels, was powerless against the warrior's attack. But Daitokuji immediately raised his voice.

"Too naive! Activate the Gaka!

Continuous Trap 'Element Absorber'!"
