My Stubborn Soul Card Follower-Chapter 440 - 382: My First-Move Field Is Invincible, No Need for Adjustment! (5K)
As the powerful magic surged, the duel arena began to undergo a dramatic transformation.
The sky, which originally held a full moon, started to darken, and snowflakes drifted down from above.
Under the rendering of various elements, these snowflakes exhibited a variety of colors, like a candy rain from a fairy tale.
Although this Environment Card only affected the duel arena, the audience also seemed to sense the chill of a snowy day.
Wang Hongjing proudly introduced this card to Shen Sui: "During the activation of the Five-Colored Snow Calamity, Elemental followers on the field are not affected by the effects of follower or Spell Cards, except for Elemental Life Cards."
Elemental followers...
Shen Sui looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky.
"And that’s not all!" Wang Hongjing said, "Activating the effect of Elemental Cavalry: Flame Amud in my hand! When there’s an Elemental Environment Card active on the field, I can special summon it from my hand!"
"Appear! My Soul Card!"
With a wave of Wang Hongjing’s hand, he special summoned his Soul Card.
"Activate Flame Amud’s effect! Once per turn, I can special summon an Elemental follower from my deck."
Wang Hongjing opened his deck and special summoned an Elemental Knight King Thunder Boom from his deck.
This card can only be special summoned by the effect of an Elemental follower. As long as this follower is on the field, by paying a cost, neither side can special summon followers other than Elementals.
From the moment Wang Hongjing summoned this follower, Shen Sui already knew his duel strategy.
The type of deck he’s using, Shen Sui had already seen in the data that Xinyuan Tanchun had given him, and even the key Life Cards that he used in many of his past duels were painstakingly listed by Xinyuan Tanchun. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
From Wang Hongjing’s first turn, his unfolding strategy was completely within Shen Sui’s expectations.
Because this guy’s dueling strategy was really too predictable, having a formulaic beauty to it.
As long as it’s the first turn, he will definitely set up an Elemental Celestial Realm: Five-Colored Snow Calamity + Elemental Knight King Thunder Boom + Elemental Knight: Natural Amud + Elemental Knight Captain·Lide field.
This is basically his standard field.
Elemental Celestial Realm: Five-Colored Snow Calamity allows the followers on his field to not be affected by Spell Cards and follower Card effects, which is considered a decent resistance in a Life Card Duel, except it’s still affected by Environment Cards and Event Cards.
Elemental Knight King Thunder Boom can activate its effect at the start of the opponent’s turn, selecting one of his Elemental followers to send to the graveyard; if so, until the end of the turn, neither side can special summon followers other than Elementals.
Elemental Knight: Natural Amud, which is his Soul Card, in this form, can prevent his followers on the field from being destroyed by battle.
Elemental Knight Captain·Lide, when it leaves the field due to the effect of an Elemental follower, can activate its effect to negate the effects of the first X other cards activated this turn. (X is the number of Elemental followers on the field when it leaves.)
A very powerful first-hand restriction field, indeed a strategy that requires only a formulaic unfolding to be very strong.
The Environment Card grants his followers effect resistance, then one follower restricts opponent special summons, one follower grants his followers battle destruction resistance, and the last follower is used to negate the effects of opponent-activated cards.
The first two restrictions might be broken by the opponent using Elemental Life Cards, but with Elemental Knight Captain·Lide added in, it can negate the effects of the first X cards activated by the opponent to stop them from exploiting the breach.
Shen Sui was already well aware of Wang Hongjing’s strategy.
He didn’t even need to remember specifically, because almost all of the opponent’s first-turn fields were done like this; as soon as Wang Hongjing got the first turn, Shen Sui already knew what Wang Hongjing planned to do.
It was with this strategy that Wang Hongjing once defeated Yang Liguang in a competition.
But after suffering such a loss once, Yang Liguang changed his duel strategy and deck construction. When facing Wang Hongjing, he specifically included some Elemental Life Cards and Event Cards in his deck to counter.
Wang Hongjing had no intention of changing his duel strategy at all, even if Yang Liguang had already countered his first-turn field many times using this method, he still carried out the formulaic unfolding in his first-turn field.
This doesn’t mean Wang Hongjing is not making progress.
Because from a God’s perspective, this set is indeed the optimal solution for his deck at the moment.
However, Shen Sui didn’t expect that after knowing his opponent was himself, Wang Hongjing still had such confidence.
Hadn’t he gathered any of his own duel information? I recall that during the national championships, I should have revealed that I possessed Elemental followers, right?
While unknown duels are often full of surprises, Shen Sui also enjoys unknown duels.
But the premise is that you also need to have the strength, right? Just with a formulaic unfolding, do you dare to face me without doing any intelligence work?
Since transmigrating, Shen Sui experienced for the first time a sense of being made foolish by his opponent.
Wang Hongjing’s next moves were exactly as Shen Sui predicted.
He transformed Amud into the form of Natural Amud, and then activated the effect of the follower in the graveyard to special summon Elemental Knight Captain·Lide from his deck.
