At 4:30 a.m., the old brass alarm clock at the head of the bed rang punctually, waking Maruto Xuan from his sleep. Pushing his tired eyelids away, Maruto was confused for a while before he remembered what he was going to do today.

Walking through the dark corridor, stepping barefoot on the wooden floor without making a sound, Maruto walked to a corner of the dojo and began to wash.

Although it was still summer, at half past four in the morning, the sky was still dark, but Maruto Xuan did not light the lamp, after all, he had lived here for more than ten years, and even if the light was dark, he would not miss and hit anything.

After washing up and wiping the last trace of moisture on his face with a yellowed towel, Maruto walked to the training ground on the stone path. After bowing deeply to the electronic dragon mural in the middle, Maruto began to practice drawing cards.

Draw five cards from a deck of 36 discarded cards, 3 [Electronic Dragons], and 1 [Fusion], and try to draw as many [Electronic Dragons] and [Fusion] as possible into your hands, this training method was what his adoptive grandfather told him.

According to Grandpa, this is how Electron Flow has cultivated its bond with the deck since ancient times. Only when you draw all the [Electronic Dragon] and [Fusion] into your hand can you be considered an official teacher, and you can officially use the [Electronic Dragon] in a duel with outsiders

It's a pity that despite training for so many years, his best results are only 1 [Electronic Dragon] and 1 [Fusion], and his younger brother Maruto Shin can draw three [Electronic Dragons] at once. Grandpa, choose me to inherit the electron flow, I don't know if you have lost your eyes?

An hour later, looking at the lone [Electric Dragon] in his 5 hands, Maruto Xuan sighed regretfully, and then solemnly put away the deck, put on his shoes and walked out the door.

At this point, Granny Kimura's bakery has just opened, and if you go in time, you should be able to buy leftover bread from last night's sale. Although it was a little stale overnight, the bakery was very clean, you won't get sick after eating it, and it was much cheaper than fresh bread.

Wrapping the bread he bought, and facing the warm greeting of Granny Kimura, Maruto Xuan controlled his somewhat depressed face due to too much life pressure and squeezed out a smile.

After taking a small bite of breakfast, he put the rest of the bread and the scheduled alarm clock next to his younger brother Maruto Shin's bedside, and Maruto turned back to the training ground again. According to the past practice, he should go out and embark on the commuting journey at this time, but today is different, he has important things to do.

Pressing a button in the training ground, the mural of the [Electronic Dragon] in the center slowly rose, revealing a dark compartment for the Legacy Card Deck. In the dark grid, in addition to the deck, there is also a spiritual position placed upright.

Kneeling in front of the spiritual seat, Maruto Xuan exhaled a breath and made a decision that violated the Electron Flow Ancestral Teachings.

Recalling his past with his grandfather, Maruto Xuan said slowly: "I'm sorry, grandpa, I ...... I've decided, I'm going to give the inheritance card of the Electronic Stream Dojo, [Electronic Dragon] to outsiders. ”

"That person, Ashin he has already seen, is very strong, has a very reliable character, and is very famous, and he is a rare duelist who uses fusion now......" Speaking of this, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "Saying so much, it's just to make excuses for my own behavior." ”

"Still." Taking a deep breath, Maruto Xuan's eyes showed a look of determination: "Grandpa, you once said that you gave up respecting your opponent's way of living in order to win, and now I would rather bear this infamy that violates the ancestral teachings in order to keep the electronic stream alive." ”

"Ashin's dueling talent is far stronger than mine, with him, the electron flow will not have no successor, but it is not enough for him alone, the electronic flow needs to be known by more people. So I decided to give the [Electric Dragon] to that person, the former champion of the Lucky Cup, Mahaku Kobayashi. ”

In this day and age, the star effect of a good duelist is terrifying. When Jack became king, his favorite cup noodle brand was sold out of stock for a time. As long as Kobayashi Mahaku can use [Electronic Dragon] to win a few famous battles, then the Electronic Stream Dojo will definitely return to everyone's attention again!

Clenching his fists, Maruto spin, the eyes of this young man who had lost his edge and who had been oppressed by life lit up with determination.

"For the sake of the electron stream, whether it is ridiculed by the heirs of other electron streams, or being incompatible, it doesn't matter what others say, it is enough for my grandfather's electron stream dojo to continue to live! In other words, it's my struggle to survive! ”

Standing up, Maruto stepped forward firmly. There are a total of 6 [Electronic Dragons] in the Electro Flow Dojo that truly possess the soul of the Electron Stream and can evolve according to the master's dueling style, which are owned by the Teacher and the Inheritor of the Electron Stream.

Three of them were left for his younger brother, and there were three [Electronic Dragons] that were supposed to be held by themselves, which were intended to be given to Kobayashi Mahaku.

"Kobayashi Mahaku, I hope you don't live up to this strength......"

With emotion, Maruto walked towards the door. Now the addresses of Kobayashi Mashiro and Fudo Yuxing are already semi-public information. Living in the Fallen Zone, the best way to get to Uptown in time is to take the subway.

With his head down, he skillfully passed through the ticket gate, skillfully walked into the carriage, skillfully got off the train, and kept repeating the process, Maruto Xuan's eyes were empty, allowing himself to drift with the crowd, enjoying this rare leisure time.

In his daily life, his own work, the inheritance of the electronic flow dojo, and his younger brother's education problems all these annoying things overwhelmed him. It was only in the busy subway that he was able to relax for a while.

After a while, he suddenly noticed that the ant-like crowd had stopped flowing, and when he looked up, he saw the reason for the blockage—the man in front of him was blocked at the ticket gate.

This is a handsome man about the same height as himself, about 1.9 meters, he wears a white anti-gravity trench coat, has short blond hair, and hangs a white bandage around his neck on his right hand.

At first glance, Maruto Xuan felt very familiar with this person, but he couldn't recognize it at once, and it wasn't until he heard the whispers of the people next to him that he remembered when he had seen him.

"This man looks like the king from before, Jack Atlas!"

"Ah, do you mean the original king from the satellites?"

Looking at the two young girls on the side, Maruto Xuan remembered the former king, Jack Atlas. Even if he is a person who usually has no time to pay attention to him, he will inevitably see his shadow on various daily necessities.

As more and more people around him paid attention to him, the man who seemed to be Jack also became visibly irritable. With good intentions, Maruto took a step forward and asked, "Hello, sir, are you in any trouble?" ”

Before he could answer, a man and a woman rushed out quickly, and the girl in the yellow jacket waved her hands and explained to the people around her: "Everyone is cared for, he is just an ordinary person who looks like Jack!" ”

The boy who came with him took out a card from his pocket, swiped it three times at the ticket gate, and then quickly led the other two companions into the subway.

This incident was just a small episode on his way, Maruto Xuan thought that it had nothing to do with him anymore, he returned to the previous state of defending everything, but the conversation of the three people couldn't stop reaching his ears.

"Hey, I said you two, why are you coming along? The rest has nothing to do with you, hurry back! ”

"No, you're still a patient, and you're dignified... I can't even take the subway......"

"Senior, we can't rest assured! And if you come out alone, if you are seen by those reporters...... Look at it, it's you, Carly! ”

What a dynamic three! Maruto Xuan sighed heartily. Although he is about the same age as himself, he seems to be old! While laughing at himself, Maruto Xuan opened his eyes.

The other people on the subway were either paying attention to the screen in front of them or sitting in their chairs to catch up on sleep, and not many people paid attention to this corner, and Maruto Xuan said directly: "If I'm not mistaken, you're the former king, Jack Atlas, right?" ”

Seeing that his identity was broken by a stranger, Jack didn't react, and Jonny and Carly Nagisa on the side were already nervous. Taking advantage of Jack's inattention, Jonny directly took out a roll of money and stuffed it into Maruto Xuan's hand, and whispered, "Please, please just act as if you didn't see this." ”

"That's right, I'm Jack Atlas." To the surprise of the three people present, Jack directly said his identity: "If you want to laugh, laugh, I'm a hypocritical king from the satellite area." ”

"Nope." Maruto shook his head and said, "I won't laugh at you because I don't know you." But when you say who you are, I know you're not a clown who others say you are. ”

"I stopped Mr. Jack in the hope of getting some insight from Mr. Jack's side about the assault."

After saying this, Maruto Xuan was ready to be rejected mercilessly, who would not mind telling a stranger about his duel? But I still have to ask. As long as it is helpful for the development of the electronic flow dojo, no matter what the cost is, I will work hard to get it.

"The essence of a strong attack is to destroy the opponent in the shortest possible time." To his surprise, Jack answered the question head-on: "Whether you bite with your teeth, hit your head or not, no matter how embarrassed you are, you must go all out to destroy your opponent at all costs, this is the mystery of the attack, this is the way of the king." ”

"Is that so?" Maruto Xuan thought with some understanding, this is very similar to the [struggle] that grandpa once told!

"Thank you so much, Senpai Jack!" Standing up and nodding gratefully at Jack, Maruto Xuan said, "I'm going to get off here, and I'm looking forward to having the opportunity to meet Jack's seniors later." ”

"Huh?!" Hearing Maruto Xuan's words, Carly Nagisa shouted in surprise, "Did you get off here too?" ”

Maruto Xuan's eyes widened in surprise: "So you guys also got off here?" That's really fate! ”

Walking out of the subway station, Maruto Xuan wonderfully found that they were actually walking the same road, and finally, he couldn't help but ask: "Although it is a bit rude to ask this, I still want to ask, where is the destination of the three of them?" ”

"Master Jack is going to find Youxing!" Jonny, who was walking on the side, responded, "I don't know what Lord Jack's purpose is, but I think it must be another duel to reclaim the title of king, right?" ”

"At the moment of defeat to Youxing, the original king, Jack Atlas, is dead." Glancing at Jonny, Jack said, "Standing in front of you now is the new king Jack Atlas, the so-called king title, and I don't need it anymore!" ”

"Hey, you guys!" While speaking, the four of them had already come to the entrance of the upper city, and when they saw them, the security guard guarding the door just wanted to scold, but when they saw Jonny standing in front of the door, the door that could automatically identify himself was consciously raised.

Seeing this scene, the security guard quickly sat back as if nothing had happened. I hope they don't care about my offense.

Not paying attention to the security guard's offense, both Jack and Maruto Tsuru tense as their targets approached. Jack is excited to see Yuxing and a trace of regret in his heart, while Maruto is worried that his proposal will be rejected.

As the doorbell rang, a crisp footstep appeared inside the door, and the door opened, revealing the figure of Youxing: "Jack, Carly Nagisa, and who are you?" ”

"I'm Jonny, and I'm a fan of Master Jack!"

"I'm the inheritor of the electron stream, Maruto Xuan."

I don't know what they came for, but You Xing still welcomed them in. Hearing the voice from outside the door, Long Ya, who was eating breakfast, poked his head curiously: "Yes, it's Jack!" ”

Although he cheered for the star in the Lucky Cup final, in Long Ya's heart, Jack is still his idol! Seeing his idol appear alive in front of him, Long Ya jumped off the stool excitedly. Following his reckless brother, Long Ke sighed and surrounded him.

Seeing that You Xing and Jack looked at each other, as if there was going to be endless things to talk about, Maruto Xuan consciously left the living room after asking where Lou Bai was, leaving You Xing and Jack, a pair of former best friends, and many onlookers.

"You Xing, I met the Dark Sealer who attacked me in the hospital." Without too much pretension, Jack directly said his intention: "Since they have found me, then they will naturally not let you go." ”
