My Stubborn Soul Card Follower-Chapter 444 - 383: I Insist: Your Life Flickers Like a Candle in the Wind!
...
However, the scene that Wang Hongjing was expecting did not appear.
Because at the moment he activated the Spell Card, a moment sparked up.
"Ah, impressive, truly impressive!" Shen Sui clapped his hands and said, "Your struggle is quite a performance. Unfortunately... it ends here."
"What?!" Wang Hongjing instantly looked at the set card on Shen Sui’s field.
"I told you! Your life is already like a candle in the wind!"
Hehe, I’ll say it again!
"When you activate a Spell Card! Open the set card!"
Shen Sui opened the set card.
"Activate the Spell Card [Opinion Inquiry]."
"Negate the effect of your card!"
Wang Hongjing’s face turned deathly pale.
He could only activate one card effect; there was no way to counter Shen Sui’s Spell Card.
Of course, even if he could activate a counter, the effect of [Opinion Inquiry] can’t be chained by other cards.
"Alright then."
Shen Sui’s voice was exceptionally gentle.
"You should end your turn now."
He slowly opened his arms, his tempting tone causing Wang Hongjing’s body to tremble a bit: "And then, meet your death."
"I..." Wang Hongjing felt a little dizzy.
"My turn... ends..."
His voice was trembling.
It was an inevitable tremble.
At the moment his turn ended, the final turn effect of [Rebellion] triggered.
His Elemental Followers lunged forward with ferocity.
The five-colored snowflakes in the sky fell slowly, so beautiful yet cold.
Wang Hongjing’s Life Value dropped to 0.
At the moment the duel ended, he collapsed to the ground in defeat.
Shen Sui smiled, turned, and stepped down from the stage.
The victory of this duel wasn’t much of a deal to him.
This wasn’t a crucial duel, not even a threat to Shen Sui’s advancement.
It was just Wang Hongjing’s taunts in the lounge earlier that slightly annoyed Shen Sui, prompting him to be a bit harsh in words.
However, having actually said "candle in the wind" during the duel and then winning the duel,
well, how to say, it feels pretty good.
But maybe it’s better to say it less in the future.
This phrase indeed seems to have some magic.
Right after I said it, Wang Hongjing drew a miracle card. If I hadn’t set [Opinion Inquiry], I would’ve had a close call.
Although there probably wouldn’t have been any surprises in the end victory, saying "candle in the wind" and then having a close call, even if you win in the end, would probably end up as a highlight again.
Of course, if I hadn’t set [Opinion Inquiry], I probably wouldn’t have actually said "your life is already like a candle in the wind."
"Congratulations."
After winning the duel, Shen Sui returned to the lounge to fetch the items he left there.
Xu Tianzhi hadn’t left and congratulated Shen Sui with a smile.
"It’s not over yet." Shen Sui said, "Wait until the three duels are over before congratulating me, it’s not too late."
"For you, this is simply too easy," Xu Tianzhi sighed. A few months ago, he was Shen Sui’s examiner, and now he feels he’s already falling behind Shen Sui, "But for me, I’m not even sure if I can make it."
"In your group, except for Cezar, aren’t the rest your defeated opponents?" Shen Sui said, "As long as you maintain a good state, making it through is still easy."
"Ugh, Cezar is really too strong, I have no ability to resist."
"Well, how to say it," Shen Sui said, "if I get the chance, I’d really like to duel with him."
Cezar’s card style is just too unique, making Shen Sui eager to duel.
Why didn’t he think of this formidable opponent before?
"There will be a chance." A familiar voice appeared at the door, "As long as you don’t underestimate your opponent and get eliminated early, you two will meet in the tournament eventually."
Shen Sui looked towards the voice and saw You Wenqi.
"Are you planning a comeback?" Shen Sui instinctively thought Wenqi was going to participate in the Huashan Invitational when he showed up there.
"No," You Wenqi smiled bitterly. Despite the brief memory of netizens, it’s not as if they’ve completely forgotten the glorious deeds of the You Family in just a couple of months, "Even if I were to return, it wouldn’t be until next year."
"Having to wait until next year to match up against you in a tournament is truly a pity," said a voice with a stiff accent.
Shen Sui looked behind You Wenqi.
Theis Malfoy.
Shen Sui squinted his eyes upon seeing Theis.
"Theis!" Xu Tianzhi exclaimed with delight upon seeing Theis, "Did you actually come to watch the match?"
"Hehe, don’t forget who your opponent is today," You Wenqi reminded with a smile.
Theis also chuckled, "Your strength is commendable, enduring so many turns under Cezar’s hand already makes you quite the formidable seventh-ranked Life Card Master."
You Wenqi covered his face.
Although it’s clear you want to compliment the guy, no matter how you listen to it, it sounds like sarcasm, doesn’t it?
Xu Tianzhi awkwardly smiled, not sure how to respond to his idol’s words.
"Your strength is quite impressive too." Compared to his perfunctory response to Xu Tianzhi, Theis looked at Shen Sui with a bit of sincerity, "It’s just a pity your opponent was too weak to let me see more of your style."
"You’ll see." Shen Sui, also a proud individual, didn’t back down, "You can experience it firsthand at that time."
Theis was slightly taken aback. If he understood this sentence correctly with his limited Chinese, did it mean a challenge?
Interesting.
Theis raised his hand and turned the brim of his hat, "I’ll wait for you on the field. Don’t get yourself eliminated in your Huaxia tournaments before then."
"No rush," Shen Sui finished packing his things, "isn’t your brother still in the competition? Let me win this championship first."
"I support you." Theis gave a thumbs up to Shen Sui, "Cezar’s too arrogant; someone needs to teach him a lesson."
Shen Sui was surprised that Theis would say this, his expression froze, looking behind Theis.
"Could you move, imbecile?"
Theis’s body tensed instantly.
Cezar coldly walked past Theis.
Now that was truly awkward.
