119 The First Match of the Finals: A Frustrated Kaiba, A Joyful Yugi!
The site of the final showdown, the forbidden legacy left behind by Gozaburo Kaiba, was once the hub of Kaiba Corporation's military industry: "Alcatraz." Upon the flattened ruins of that island, the Duel Tower was constructed through the joint efforts of Industrial Illusions and KaibaCorp, serving as the venue for the Battle City Tournament finals.
"We shall now begin the first match of the Battle City Tournament finals! It is Kaiba vs. Yugi Muto!"
Although their consciousnesses were projected into the virtual world while their physical bodies lay in capsules...
Being "expelled from the Bai household" was not without precedent. I had long wondered why, despite having only two older brothers and four older sisters, I was ranked eighth!
She narrowed her eyes, squinting as if in deep thought or perhaps struggling to find the right words to speak.
Ye Feng Hui's gaze fixed accurately in one direction. The sensation was distinct, just like the feeling she had once perceived when she was building the city walls.
This confused Bai Fengjiao, and she felt a secret pang of regret. If she had known it wasn't one of the Third Prince's men, she should have turned back to look at that moment. If the Lotus Fairy hadn't been toying with her, there really should have been someone in that tree. But who could have the skill to sneak into the Third Prince's garden within the palace and hide inside a tree?
When the performance ended, Sima De was the first to lead the applause, casting looks of unreserved admiration until Bai Fengci returned to her seat with a blushing face.
Ever since learning that Arthur and Arnold had been kidnapped again, Zhen Shu had been crying uncontrollably; her eyes were now swollen shut.
Cao Jin had been keeping watch in the main courtyard. Seeing that Cao Zheng's chronic headache had finally subsided and he had begun to snore, the people who had been busy all night dispersed, and he returned as well.
By all logic, the first wave should have been the easiest, but the sheer quantity was enough to make one's scalp tingle; even if their strength was low, it still required energy to deal with them.
Ya'er, naturally unaware of the situation, did not understand what was on my mind. Perhaps because she had received Taohong's help just moments ago, she felt a sense of goodwill toward her. She kept glancing between me and Taohong, who was kneeling on the ground, looking anxious, her face twisted in a mask of distress and anticipation.
What Ye Feng Hui wanted most was to travel the world with her husband and taste every delicacy. Back when they were searching for the way home, they had chased supernatural phenomena across the globe and had visited quite a few places.
Luo Feng stood up straight immediately, adjusting his lapels, and assumed a proper stance, waiting for his master to open the door.
Gladius struggled on the ground twice before barely managing to crawl up, clinging to his last breath.
After some thought, he realized that while this system was indeed powerful, Ye Tian lacked a concrete understanding of just how powerful it was without trying it himself. He looked around and finally fixed his gaze on his mobile phone.
Under the precise control of the Tsuchikage Onoki, a square barrier spanning over a dozen meters unfolded in the air.
At this moment, Taiyi Zhenren finally recalled the scene where Ao Bing's remnant soul appeared, and his face turned pale.
Yesterday was supposed to be a day off, but in order to earn money for the household, Kaguya went out to look for part-time work. However, most available jobs were long-term, and there was nothing suitable, so she eventually settled for handing out flyers.
Reminded by Momousagi, Kaguya finally remembered. That time in the Navy cafeteria, the juice had run out. Having no other choice, she had to make it herself. Seeing some oranges left in the kitchen, she squeezed some fresh juice and handed a glass to Momousagi as well.
"You are the second, do you know that? You are the second person capable of destroying me in an instant!" Looking at Xue Ge, the Great Swordsman of the Five Elders laughed hideously.
"Call in sick for me, same old excuse—just say it's my time of the month!" Tong Tian'ai's voice rang out brazenly, causing all the surrounding pedestrians to turn and stare.
