Inside the Wind Attribute Building, Xiao Guang led the way, noticing that the gazes of everyone around them were turning increasingly hostile. He could not help swallowing hard.
"Look at the way those guys are staring at us, like they want to swallow me whole. It's terrifying! Why did you have to provoke them when everything was fine? Besides, even if you have Egyptian God Cards, if they get locked down, you're done for," Xiao Guang sighed.
"I don't usually rely on Egyptian God Cards to win," You Feng shrugged, "unless I feel like giving someone a particularly brutal beating."
Xiao Guang's mouth twitched, but he dropped the subject. Either way, any Pro Duelist who had never faced the Nine Great Rakshasas tended to be arrogant. He had seen far too many people like that and had grown used to it.
"Where are we heading right now?" Ma Qingxue asked, still unfamiliar with the place.
"I'm taking you to see Wind Rakshasa. If you choose the Wind Attribute Building, you have to meet him," Xiao Guang replied.
Ma Qingxue was left speechless. Well, fair enough; they would just see how You Feng handled it. The truth was, facing the Nine Great Rakshasas was inevitable if they stayed here. Neither she nor You Feng could avoid it.
That was why, when Xiao Guang said they needed to pick an attribute building, Ma Qingxue had chosen the Wind Attribute Building without hesitation.
If a clash was bound to happen, it was best to tackle the biggest point of conflict right from the start.
Knock, knock
Xiao Guang walked up to an office located inside the Wind Training Grounds and knocked on the door.
Outside the office stretched the Wind Training Grounds, where crowds were engaged in duels. Most of the summoned monsters possessed the WIND Attribute. Monsters roared in fury, filling the entire arena with a fierce, charged atmosphere.
"Heh, isn't that guy You Feng, the Child of God who arrived this morning?"
"Interesting. I really want to see how Wind Rakshasa puts this punk in his place."
"Acting so cocky this morning, and now he actually dares to set foot in the Wind Training Grounds."
"Enter!" Wind Rakshasa's voice called from behind the door.
Only then did Xiao Guang muster the courage to push the door open.
Music drifted throughout Wind Rakshasa's room. His sharp eyes opened, and upon catching sight of You Feng, a smirk curved at the corner of his lips.
"Lord Wind Rakshasa, these two have chosen the Wind Attribute Building. Their names..." Xiao Guang began to introduce them, but Wind Rakshasa raised a hand, cutting him off.
Clap, clap, clap...
Wind Rakshasa applauded slowly.
"I didn't expect you to have the guts to pick the building I oversee. It seems you truly don't take me seriously at all," Wind Rakshasa said with a faint laugh.
"Still, since you talk such a big game, why come to my turf to learn the ways of wind?" Wind Rakshasa turned and asked.
"Sorry, you seem to have misunderstood. I came here to get my Professional Player Qualification Certificate. I was told I need to pass an assessment from the Nine Great Rakshasas?" You Feng smiled faintly.
"That's right. The assessment is divided into Four Categories. Pass them all, and it's yours." Wind Rakshasa was in no hurry, regarding You Feng like a predator sizing up prey.
"Too much hassle. Categories or whateverit's much simpler if I just beat you directly." You Feng's eyes narrowed. Since these people wanted to play, he would gladly play along to the fullest.
"Hahaha..." Hearing that, Wind Rakshasa could not help bursting into hearty laughter.
Xiao Guang covered his face with his hands, shuddering in dread. He could hardly bear to watch. If he had known this would happen, he never would have brought You Feng here. This guy was practically suicidal.
"Betting an Egyptian God Card?" Wind Rakshasa's laughter abruptly vanished, his eyes darkening as his expression shifted in an instant.
"What do you have to bet? I've already made it quite clear: you aren't qualified to gamble against my Egyptian God Cards." You Feng never made a losing trade.
"Hm, fair point. An Egyptian God Card is indeed priceless. How about this, then? The winner gets to choose one Rare Card from the loser's Deck. You don't have to put an Egyptian God Card into your Deckthough without one,
you don't even have a one percent chance of winning." Wind Rakshasa altered the terms, doubting You Feng would actually leave his Egyptian God Cards out.
"Fine by me. When do we start?" You Feng gave a soft chuckle.
He needed the status of a Pro Duelist to expand his Wind's Name Organization. Then again, fate worked in funny ways; both of them shared an affinity for wind.
"Right here at the Wind Training Grounds. You're honestly the very first person to show up on their first day and challenge a Rakshasa of their own accord." Wind Rakshasa stood up, a chilling glint flashing in his eyes.
"May I ask, what rank does Zhao Jian hold in the Vocational Academy?" Ma Qingxue suddenly asked, having recalled something.
"Zhao Jian? Around rank one thousand or so, I think. I don't really remember him. The academy has three thousand people in total, so that's merely average." Wind Rakshasa was happy enough to answer the beauty's question.
"Zhao Jian is only ranked in the thousands?" Ma Qingxue was utterly stunned. Just what kind of monsters were the Nine Great Rakshasas?
