My Stubborn Soul Card Follower-Chapter 328 - 314: Even Lan Wants Kang, Are You Sick?! (4K)
*****
In the Lingnan University contestant seats, Vivian looked at her cheap little brother sitting upright in his seat.
Vivian is a person who cherishes emotions deeply, whether it’s family love or romantic love. Although the familial love brought by the Candlelight Illusion seemed fake in Vivian’s eyes, she never belittled such feelings, because she knew that the brotherly affection the An Hai brothers had for the character An Wei was genuine.
"This is one of the rare opportunities you have for revenge, you know," Vivian said with a smile to An Yang. "Soon, he might leave you far behind." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
An Yang scratched his head and said, "Beating me once in a tournament doesn’t really count as revenge, does it?"
"Would you be working so hard in the Soul Card World if there were no emotions?" Vivian glanced at An Yang and said, "These days, how exhausted have all those beast slaves of yours become from your training? Several of them have evolved, haven’t they?"
An Yang was a bit embarrassed: "Don’t use such weird terms like ’training’."
Ever since Shen Sui’s [Devastating Blow to the Nether Regions] caught him off guard, An Yang realized that most of his beast slaves were cute boys.
It wasn’t that An Yang didn’t understand common sense, but their appearances were just too misleading. Moreover, the Phoenix-Riding Beast was a path that An Yang had pioneered by himself. As the pioneer on this path, many elements of common sense still needed to be discovered by An Yang.
He never expected to crash in terms of common sense.
"However, I will give my all in this duel!" An Yang said very earnestly. "I still have to meet you in the finals, sis!"
But then you might as well lose.
Vivian blinked, silently thinking to herself.
I’ve promised Shen Sui to meet him in the finals.
Sure enough, compared to her lover, her brother was still that cheap.
An Yang took a deep breath, his gaze becoming exceptionally determined.
Today, he would showcase all the results of his training from this period!
Shen Sui, no matter what, I’m going to give you an unforgettable duel.
An Yang slightly clenched his right fist and walked onto the dueling stage.
The referee checked the card sets, and after confirming that there were no issues, both sides entered the preparation area.
An Yang still sat upright on the bench, waiting for the match to start.
Shen Sui, on the other hand, seemed very relaxed.
The only slight disappointment was that the trash-talk phase he imagined didn’t happen. After all, university students should be encouraged towards positive values.
When Shen Sui sat down, Xinyuan Yingxue’s match had already reached its closing stages.
Her opponent, under Xinyuan Yingxue’s series of maneuvers, had no means of resistance.
More mature than during the last duel.
Shen Sui watched Xinyuan Yingxue’s duel, saying to himself.
At the same time, he was also wondering what kind of world Lin Zhen’s Soul Card World was, and what its relation was to himself.
Shen Sui had played quite a few apocalypse and zombie games, but in a world like this, where mechas appeared in a zombie game, he had no memory of such iconic scenes. These are memories enhanced by extraordinary power; if there is no impression, it indeed means none existed.
If Vivian’s investigation was correct, these thirty-three Soul Card Worlds were all worlds that appeared a thousand years after Shen Sui completed those game saves, so it’s normal to have undergone significant changes.
Finding familiar traces of himself in these worlds was very difficult, especially in those ordinary worlds, which have gone through two or three cycles of dynastic change. The traces of Shen Sui’s presence can only be sought in the history books. Shen Sui even suspected that those few mundane Soul Card Worlds might be the worlds of some historical games he played.
Xinyuan Yingxue swiftly and neatly ended the duel.
As she stepped down from the stage, she saw Shen Sui sitting in the waiting area.
Shen Sui smiled and nodded in greeting.
Xinyuan Yingxue responded very politely.
She seemed to want to say more but refrained as she sensed a woman’s gaze from behind her.
Shen Sui looked at the woman who withdrew her gaze. She bore a few resemblances to Xinyuan Tanchun, looking in her thirties but not like the mother of two daughters at all.
Ah, I didn’t expect the Xinyuan sisters didn’t inherit their mother’s excellent genes at all.
Shen Sui retracted his gaze, silently ridiculing in his heart.
With Xinyuan Yingxue’s match over, it was naturally Shen Sui’s turn.
Under the referee’s guidance, the two entered the arena.
By the quarter-finals, the match venue had shifted to the Coastal City’s stadium, and tickets started selling to the public, no longer just distributed to nearby students.
Because this national tournament had many star players, the enthusiasm wasn’t low. Plus, being a college tournament, ticket prices weren’t expensive, so the scene wasn’t as sparse as one might imagine. Instead, it was a full house.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh! It’s the God of Age!"
As soon as Shen Sui took the stage, he was met with the surrounding loud cheers.
The audience became even more excited.
Just after finishing Xinyuan Yingxue’s match, it was immediately followed by Shen Sui’s match.
These two geniuses have been the topic of conversation in the Life Card Duel circle for the past few months, with only Feng Lindu’s upset loss momentarily stealing some of the spotlight.
Of course, people quickly forget about Feng Lindu.
"God of Age, please be kind," An Yang said very seriously to Shen Sui, without a trace of fear of the battle despite having lost to Shen Sui before, nor was he arrogant due to his recent substantial progress.
An Hai’s brother looked pretty good.
Shen Sui smiled and said, "Don’t call me God of Age; if I crash, it would be really awkward."
With that, he activated his Dueling Device.
After the referee announced the rules of the match, the duel officially began.
The first turn card flipped down.
"My first turn." An Yang quickly drew five cards from his deck.
Already taken first by the Beast Taming Card Set.
Not my lucky day.
If a field-clearing card isn’t in the initial hand when a field-building deck takes the first turn, the game experience will be quite lacking.
The Beast Taming Card Set is a very standard field-building set. An Yang’s Phoenix-Riding Beast’s deployment capability was something Shen Sui had already witnessed in the previous duel.
"Pay 2 Soul Points." An Yang quickly browsed through his hand and then mapped out a deployment route in his mind. "From my hand, I summon my Soul Card! [Phoenix-Riding Beast: Blue Feathered Ring-necked Pigeon]!"
[Phoenix-Riding Beast: Blue Feathered Ring-necked Pigeon], An Yang’s biggest scapegoat follower from the last loss to Shen Sui. If not for it simultaneously sending crucial cards to the graveyard, An Yang wouldn’t have found the duel so difficult.
However, despite this, An Yang still had great faith in the Blue Feathered Pigeon’s ability.
The effect of sending three to the grave and special summoning is risky as it can send crucial cards to the grave, but it’s worth taking the risk.
Because generally, people wouldn’t go out of their way to hinder the Blue Feathered Pigeon’s effect.
"Activate the Blue Feathered Pigeon’s effect...." An Yang raised his hand, ready to mill the cards.
"At this moment." Shen Sui quickly spoke up, "Activate the effect of [Elemental Life: Lava Fairy] from my hand, discarding it from my hand to negate the effect of your card."
"??????"
An Yang was instantly filled with question marks.
No way, why would anyone negate Little Lan’s effect!
Shen Sui, with an apologetic look, said: "Sorry, I didn’t draw [Sinful Saintess: Anna], so I’ll use this to substitute."
When facing a deployment deck, it has always been a bit controversial whether to negate the opponent’s key cards to disrupt their deployment chain or to clear the opponent’s endgame.
The former heavily tests the Life Card Master’s understanding of their opponent’s deck and their timing. If the negation’s timing is off, it will most likely not effectively obstruct the opponent.
But the latter is also somewhat of a gamble because you’re really not sure what the opponent’s endgame will look like. If it’s an endgame you can’t break, you’re just handing victory to the opponent.
Faced with An Yang’s Beast Taming Card Set, Shen Sui wasn’t willing to gamble.
Sending three to the grave and special summoning, although random, what if the opponent got lucky?
He had encountered absurd matches where Little Lan started doing graveyard jumps and ultimately secured victory with a flash of brilliance.
