"Jiji! Let's get started!"
"Let me show you the true strength of the Tongshiye Champion!"
When Insector Haga (Insect Feather Moth) said these words, the reflection on his glasses flashed with a cold light.
You Feng, observing from not far away, seemed to think of something and slightly raised the corner of his mouth.
"Interesting! I'll use you as a stepping stone!"

8. The Emperor Deck Awakens (8/6 + Extra!)
Southern Battle Academy.
Principal Shashima stared at the newly appeared leaderboard, unable to calm his excitement for a long time.
"The rewards for the top five on the Duel King Gold List are incredible!"
"A rare card group, and the highest reward is... the Phantom God Card!"
Professor Chronos shouted, his face contorting into an exaggerated emoji expression:
"Mamma Mia! Are those the legendary Three Phantom Gods?"
The principal's office was thick with a stunned atmosphere.
"The Three Phantom Gods... such terrifying existences..."
"Hopefully, we won't face them in battle."
On this day, Asuka Tenjoin deeply realized through the Duel King Gold List just how many powerful duelists exist in the world.
Before this, her knowledge of the world was like a frog at the bottom of a well.
At this moment, Ryo Marufuji slowly turned around and spoke solemnly:
"It's time... to truly prepare."
"The Duel City event in three months..."
Marufuji Ryo's fighting spirit was thoroughly ignited.

Osiris Red Dormitory.
"Phantom Gods! No way! Is this for real?"
The usually carefree Judai Yuki danced around excitedly, his eyes gleaming.
"This is... insane!" Sho Marufuji (Syrus Truesdale) also felt the heavy pressure of the Gold List.
"Let's do our best, Sho!"
"For the Duel City event three months from now!"
Judai clenched his fists with fiery passion.
"Yeah, Big Brother! Let's work hard together!" Sho responded energetically.

Northern Satellite Area.
Fudo Yusei frowned slightly. He had just received his rewards.
Advanced techniques for Accel Synchro Summoning...
In addition, a mountain of rewards filled his inventory.
"So... I'm ranked second on the Duel King Gold List?"
Yusei narrowed his eyes, momentarily stunned.
But thinking it through, it made sense. His deck wasn't flashy, but his strength was real.
"What? Shocked?"
Jack Atlas, noticing Yusei's hesitation, smirked.
"Hmph! You may not be able to surpass me yet, but you deserve your spot. Let's meet again at Tongshiye Duel City!"
Leaving these words behind, Jack revved up his D-Wheel and sped away.
Fudo Yusei stood quietly, a small smile playing on his lips.
"This world... is getting more and more interesting."
His gaze sharpened.
If he mastered Accel Synchro, he would reach even greater heights...
And lead a new wave of dueling enthusiasm in the satellite area!
---
In a shadowy office, Rex Godwin pulled back his gaze from the monitor.
"The satellite area... has finally produced a true powerhouse."
"Accel Synchro Summoning... fascinating."
Yeager approached, chuckling:
"You mean that screwhead duelist?"
Rex Godwin nodded.
"Only the northern satellite area regularly uses Synchro duels. To manipulate Accel Synchro at that level... it must be from there."
"Sadly, we still can't pinpoint his exact identity."
"Prepare yourselves! In three months, at Dongfang Tongshiye City's Duel City event..."
"There will be fireworks."
With a cold smile, Godwin turned and left.
"Heh... it seems the satellite area isn't completely worthless anymore."
Yeager sneered before disappearing into the shadows.

Dongfang Tongshiye City.
On the central duel stage, countless duelists had gathered, excitement roaring through the air like wildfire.
Even Seto Kaiba, observing from a helicopter above, had a serious expression.
Watching closely, You Feng commented lightly:
"It's a pity. Jonouchi's about to lose."
"But that's good. Only then does the Emperor Deck shine."
Facing the roaring winds, Insector Haga arrogantly raised his chin, revealing a treacherous smile as he extended his hand.
"Hoho!!"
"Poor Jonouchi Katsuya... even though your [Time Wizard] turned the tide once and summoned [Dark Magician Dragon Knight]!"
"But against my [Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth] with 3,500 ATK, you are powerless!"
"Destroy him!"
Haga laughed wildly. His monstrous moth swooped down ferociously!
A single claw shredded the [Dark Magician Dragon Knight]!
-300 LP!
Jonouchi was left with only 200 LP!
The audience gasped as his Life Points quickly fell to 0.
"Ahh!!" Jonouchi cried out, collapsing in defeat.

9. You Feng's Pressure! A Storm Approaches! (9/6 + Extra!)
The bitter cry echoed in the stadium.
Seto Kaiba's eyes were cold and disdainful.
"Trash remains trash."
"His defeat was inevitable."
Jonouchi knelt on the ground, unable to hide his despair.
He had wagered a precious card on this duel.
Now, seeing his beloved card about to be taken, panic overwhelmed him.
"My... Red-Eyes Black Dragon..."
Jonouchi murmured weakly.
At that moment, Insector Haga swaggered over, snatched the [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] from Jonouchi's trembling hands, and twirled it arrogantly between his fingers.
"Jiji! Then I'll take your [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] as my prize!"
Haga sneered maliciously.
"Wait!"
A voice rang out—Mutou Yugi rushed over, panting.
"[Red-Eyes Black Dragon] is too important to Jonouchi!"
"I'm willing to trade one of my decks for it!"
Yugi's fists were clenched; he couldn't bear to see Jonouchi in such agony.
As long as he could duel and win, he believed he could get it back.
"Yugi!"
Anzu (Téa Gardner) was stunned.
"Good, good! This is exactly what I was hoping for!"
Haga's face twisted in excitement.
Greedily, he snatched one of Yugi's decks and quickly flipped through it.
Within seconds, he extracted a key card:
[Exodia the Forbidden One — Left Arm of the Forbidden One]!
With the card in hand, he returned the incomplete decks to Yugi and Jonouchi.
"Hoho! Now, Exodia will forever be incomplete!"
Haga howled with laughter, proudly flashing the stolen card.
"Nani?! That card—"
"You stole that card?! Return it! That's the card left to him by his grandfather!"
