At this moment, all duelists across the mixed world were boiling over with excitement!
Seeing this, Seto Kaiba stared intently at the ancient scroll.
Even the dazzling rays of light could not calm the turmoil in his heart.
"The Three Egyptian Gods... do they really exist?"
"The top spot on the Duel King Gold List isn't me, Kaiba Seto! I'm not even in the top five!"
"This is impossible!"
Kaiba Seto was hit hard by this blow.
Clutching his head with both hands, his pupils contracted sharply.
"Master Kaiba!" called Isano.
"Elder brother!" cried Mokuba.
"Are you okay? Brother, you've always been the strongest in my heart!"
Mokuba quickly rushed to comfort him.
"The Duel King Gold List!"
"Good! You've thoroughly ignited this young master's fighting spirit!"
"I will prove to everyone that my strength is above these so-called top duelists!"
Kaiba Seto finally recovered after a long moment, and a strong fighting spirit blazed once again in his eyes.

"This... this is too insane! The top five on the Duel King Gold List are absolute monsters! And the rewards are so rich?"
"And there are Egyptian Gods involved too?"
"I've always heard the legends about them."
Jonouchi Katsuya was utterly stunned by the announcement.
"Yugi... what's wrong?"
Anzu Mazaki suddenly noticed something was wrong with Yugi Mutou and couldn't help but ask.
"Huh? Oh, it's nothing..."
Yugi quickly responded.
Just now, he had sensed a sudden stir from the other spirit residing inside the Millennium Puzzle!
But it had vanished in a flash.
Meanwhile—
You Feng was surrounded by waves of shocked discussions and wild cheers.
The clamor grew louder and louder.
The release of the Gold List had stirred the entire dueling world into a frenzy!
The atmosphere had reached a fever pitch!
You Feng himself was also stunned.
Not because of the commotion—
But because he had made it onto the list.
He was ranked fifth!
Creator!
"In other words, I can receive a rare deck?"
You Feng was overjoyed — he had been missing a primary deck!
The only question was: how strong would it be?

7. The Emperor Deck! You Feng's First Ace!
7. The Emperor Deck! You Feng's First Ace! (7/6 — Bonus Update!)
You Feng stared at the brand-new 40-card deck that appeared in his hand.
A burning excitement surged in his heart, and he could hardly contain himself.
Opening the top button of the card pack, a brand-new deck was revealed before his eyes.
Radiant beams of light spilled from the cards.
Just by looking, he could tell — this deck was extraordinarily rare!
"This haul is definitely a win!"
"My very first ace deck! It's time to show me your face!"
You Feng firmly gripped the deck between his fingers and dramatically pulled it free.
Like a knight brandishing a sword, he lifted it before his eyes.
Then, he spread the cards wide open!
A brilliant glow flared from them!
Many shining golden words made You Feng's breathing quicken.
[Emperor]!
"It's the Emperor Deck!"
"NICE!"
You Feng could hardly believe his luck!
He knew well that the Duel King Gold List rewards involved luck.
Rare decks were awarded at random.
And the value of an Emperor Deck far exceeded what he had expected for fifth place!
[Erebus the Underworld Monarch] ×3
[Ehther the Heavenly Monarch] ×3
[Caius the Shadow Monarch] ×1
[Harpie's Feather Duster] ×1
[Pantheon of the Monarchs] ×2
[The Prime Monarch] ×3
[March of the Monarchs] ×3
[...]
"This deck is absolutely sufficient for now!"
You Feng carefully gathered the deck and placed it into his card bag.
His confidence soared!
He hadn't expected to reach the top five based on his personal dueling skills alone!
Clearly, all the practice playing with countless opponents in the real world had paid off!
At that moment, a voice not far away caught You Feng's attention.
"You must be Yugi Mutou!"
"How about a duel?"
Nearby, Weevil Underwood had already set his sights on Yugi!
At this point, he already knew — Yugi had Exodia!
"Who are you?"
"Why do you want to duel me?"
Yugi, Jonouchi, and Anzu happened to be passing by when they were suddenly blocked by a boy shorter than Yugi himself.
"Heh! Who am I?"
"I'm Weevil Underwood, ranked 47th on the Duel King Gold List! Also the champion of the Regional Tournament at Tonoshita!"
Weevil gave a proud, sharp laugh after introducing himself.
Hearing this, all the duelists nearby immediately turned their attention toward them — the scene exploded!
"Whoa! It's true! That guy who was ranked 47th on the Duel King Gold List is this kid?"
"Is he even old enough to have graduated?"
"I can't believe it — the 47th strongest duelist is just a grade-schooler?"
Doubtful voices rose from the crowd.
"No way! That's the 47th strongest?"
Anzu Mazaki was taken aback.
"It's unbelievable — but meeting such a strong opponent is exciting!"
Weevil sneered and looked down at another boy in the crowd: Katsuya Jonouchi.
"And who are you supposed to be?"
"I'm the 50th on the Duel King Gold List — Jonouchi Katsuya!"
Jonouchi clenched his fist and flashed a confident smile.
This announcement stirred up another burst of chaos around them.
"What the heck!"
"Right after the Gold List was announced, we're getting a live showdown?"
"This is getting way too hyped!"
Meanwhile, in a helicopter above, Seto Kaiba had also noticed the commotion.
Peering down arrogantly, he scoffed coldly:
"Hmph! A bunch of small fry!"
"Still... it might be entertaining to watch."
"Show me the so-called strength of the top 50 duelists."
Weevil sneered at Jonouchi and showed a mouthful of sharp teeth.
"So you're the guy ranked 50th, huh?"
"You look too weak!"
"And let me be clear — this isn't a casual duel!"
"It's a wager duel! The loser has to hand over their rarest card!"
He clenched his fist tightly, flashing a sinister grin.
"Nani?! Betting precious cards?"
Yugi frowned.
At a glance, he could tell this guy wasn't someone to be trusted.
Jonouchi also clearly disliked the idea.
But after hearing Weevil's provocations, he was fully provoked.
"Fine!"
Fueled by his burning spirit, Jonouchi agreed without hesitation!
