Chapter 49 Ruins
The next morning, You Xuan set out from the gym and embarked on a journey to visit the ruins with the students.

To be honest, You Xuan was quite interested in the stone tablets in the ruins before this world was made into cards. This was especially true when he learned that there were more than just stone tablets in the ruins that could be made into cards.

But the world of Yu-Gi-Oh is just like that. There are more things that can be used to make cards than just stone slabs. Gems can be made into cards, swords can be made into cards, and sometimes even living people can be made into cards.
In other words, turning stone slabs into cards is not real "card making" but simply "transplantation".

After all, the slate was a deck of cards that had already been made by the ancients thousands of years ago. What Becas did back then was just to transplant the ancient cards to a brand new modern medium. The process of making the slate by the ancients was the process of actually creating the corresponding cards.

The ruins are located in the suburbs. You Xuan got off the car and walked a short distance to the excavation site, where he met Uncle Saito, a good brother of Master Takeuchi.

"Yo, here we come."

Uncle Saito came up to greet him warmly, especially looking at You Xuan twice.

"Little brother, your duel yesterday was quite beautiful. I think you will get a lot of benefits later, right?"

"Not bad." You Xuan smiled, "Thank you, uncle, for showing us around."

Uncle Saito waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. In fact, I just brought you here a few days in advance. The team seems to have decided that if there are no new discoveries, the ruins will be open to duelists above level 4 in two days."

Uncle Saito led the group inside and explained.

"You must have heard of the rumor that sometimes the elves choose their duelists on their own?"

"I've heard of it." Everyone nodded.

You Xuan also remembered that the most representative card in the original work was the Gemmon. After Pegasus made the Gemmon card set, one day he happened to be watching the contestant John Anderson's game at a duel tournament. Unexpectedly, the card set in the box suddenly glowed.

So Bekas then gave John the Gem Beast deck, and John and his deck had a bond that ordinary duelists could not match. So often it was not the duelist who chose the card, but the elves who chose the duelist.

"Master Takeuchi also said that," a gym student recalled. "He said that duelists who are rejected by cards cannot unleash the true power of their decks."

You Xuan listened and wondered in his heart, what does it mean to be unable to unleash the power of the deck?
Could it be that because the elves hate you, they will keep stuffing junk into your hands, causing you to be so stuck with cards that you doubt your life?
Damn, that's pretty scary.
"Yes, some ruins are like this. Sometimes, the research on some ruins has made no progress, but when a duelist comes to the ruins, strange phenomena that were not there before suddenly appear, as if he has been chosen.
But I don’t know the specific basis for the selection.”

Uncle Saito smiled.

"After all, I'm just an old man here who works as a bricklayer. I just listen to people talking a lot."

Sato Koji asked: "So now can you tell us what ruins we are looking for today? The master said it was amazing, but he was mysterious and refused to give us the details."

Uncle Saito smiled mysteriously: "You will know when you come in."

"."

Following the artificially excavated path, they soon came to a huge space, surrounded by towering stone walls, carved with complex patterns and mysterious symbols, which were still clearly visible despite being thousands of years old.

In the center of the ruins there is a huge stone platform, on which stands a yellow-brown stone slab that has been there for who knows how many years. In the middle of the stone slab is a painting of a warrior holding a sword.

Although the ancients' painting style was very abstract, everyone still recognized the shape at a glance, and many students even exclaimed in surprise.

"Chaos Warrior!"

There are archaeological myths that are very exaggerated, saying that he was the strongest warrior who created the world. He used his sword to split the chaos, one side was light and the other side was dark, and the world was created. Of course, because this record is too outrageous, it is currently only regarded as a mythological background story.

It is also one of the famous ace monsters that Yugi Muto once held.

"Yes, Chaos Warrior. This legendary monster has become the focus of many teams since the appearance of 'The Envoy of Creation'. Unfortunately, although the appearance of 'Chaos Warrior - The Envoy of Creation' shocked the dueling world, it also became a research bottleneck.

Many years have passed and no team has been able to make any breakthroughs. Some expert teams even declared that they believe that the 'Envoy of the Opening' is the full potential of the Chaos Warrior and there is no possibility of further evolution. "

It seems normal to have such thoughts. Chaos Warrior - Envoy of the Opening has extremely simple summoning conditions, 3,000 attack power, and the powerful ability to banish a monster on the opponent's field and attack twice in a turn.

He was so powerful that he was banned by K-company in 2005. His strength was indeed very high in the environment of that era.

Of course, as a man from the future, You Xuan clearly knows that this is not the limit, and there are still many undeveloped series of Chaos Warrior cards.

Looking at the stone slab, his mind became somewhat active.

In fact, even without the subsequent new card reinforcement, the Messenger of Kaifa was already strong enough in the early years. In reality, after the [Notebook Destruction] deck he used before, the world champions for the next two consecutive years were all chaos-themed, and the Messenger of Kaifa was the main force. Chaos at that time already had a sense of being super mainstream in later generations, and it was almost a dimensionality reduction attack on other decks in the environment at that time. Even until the Great Kaifa was locked up in a small black room, the "Chaos Wizard" known as the Small Kaifa barely replaced him a year later. As a result, the world champion that year was the [Last Words Chaos] construction, which was still a chaos theme.

You Xuan thought that if he could find a way to get a Big Kaikai, maybe he could consider trying a whole champion deck.

"Wouldn't it be helpful for new research if the relevant relics were unearthed this time?" a student asked curiously.

"I don't know the details," said Uncle Saito, "but I seem to have heard from the experts in the research team that there is no such thing. Because the stone tablets found in the ruins this time correspond to the cards we already have, which are just ritual monsters 'Chaos Warriors' that were created many years ago.

There doesn't seem to be any clues here that could lead to the further evolution of the monster."

The ritual monster "Chaos Warrior" is the original vest that Yugi had summoned in the Duel Kingdom arc. The ritual mortal bone with an attack power of 3,000 and no effect, although it is called a "legendary monster", has long been out of date.

".here."

You Xuan: “?”

He seemed to hear someone talking in his ear, but when he turned his head to look, there was no one there.

The students were all in the opposite direction, excitedly discussing topics related to Chaos Warriors and the Duel King Muto Yugi. People were coming and going in the ruins hall, and no one was standing in the direction where the sound came from.

Auditory hallucinations?

He looked around blankly, but couldn't find any other explanation. But just as he turned around.

"here."

It's that voice again.

You Xuan turned around and looked again. There was still no one in that direction, and it didn't look like anyone could talk to him.

What's going on? Telepathy? Secret communication?
Then he locked his sight in that direction, on another stone slab unearthed from the ruins.

Unlike the Chaos Warrior slate that was being watched by everyone, it was a blank slate.

It seems to be... this white board?
As if possessed by a ghost, he walked closer and slowly raised his arm.

It's like being pulled by some invisible force.

At the same time, someone among the researchers in the ruins camp suddenly exclaimed, "Team Leader!"

"what's up?"

The team leader, wearing a white coat and the KC logo, walked quickly towards the man.

"Energy! The duel energy readings suddenly began to soar!"

The team leader looked at the instrument readings and was immediately shocked: "Is this the reaction of the elves? But how is this strength value possible?"

He looked incredulous.

Their previous tests clearly showed no signs of any monster spirits reacting in the ruins, but within just one second the instrument readings suddenly skyrocketed like crazy.

And if the elves really manifested, this is an exaggerated energy value.
"Isn't it as strong as the 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon'?" The research team leader was surprised.

Nowadays, there are a lot of ruins dug up all over the world every year, and it is no longer a rarity. However, Pokémons of the same level as Blue-Eyes White Dragon are still rare.

"."

At the moment when his fingertips touched the stone slab, You Xuan seemed to suddenly feel a strong suction force.

He was caught off guard and felt his feet leave the ground. His whole body seemed to be merged into a huge whirlpool and was sucked into another world.
