My Stubborn Soul Card Follower-Chapter 585 - 431: Tang Lili’s Troubles and Shen Sui’s Reflections (6K)
That night, everyone had a great time, and when they woke up the next day, Isabella was even stuffed into Qishala's bosom.
Qishala disdainfully pulled Isabella out.
The two rivals began tidying up the room, bickering along the way.
As one whose strength had significantly decreased due to being a possessed puppet, Isabella unfortunately lost in the scuffle and was forced into a maid outfit by Qishala, then coerced into doing maid work.
"Damn it! Why do you even have a maid outfit for puppets!" Isabella complained incessantly while using magic to wash dishes.
She froze for a moment, then immediately understood: Qishala had planned this all along!
"Damn, damn, damn!" Our True Ancestor became instantly furious, but she really didn't have any good way to retaliate against Qishala for now and could only channel all her anger into labor, vowing fiercely: I will definitely get my revenge!
Shen Sui slept all the way until noon, only waking up because of a short notification chime.
Checking his phone, he found all the messages were from Xinyuan Tanchun.
They were all information about the All-Star event.
It turns out the voting for the All-Star event officially concluded at midnight, meaning the lineup for the event at the end of the month was also finalized.
In the past, these kinds of events were basically just entertainment competitions for eighth and ninth level Life Card Masters, but this year's lineup featured two names that stood out oddly.
One was naturally Shen Sui. Although it wasn't surprising for many that he made it to the All-Star event.
Shen Sui may only be a seventh-level Life Card Master, but his past few months' record spoke for itself, and he even defeated Cezar from America during the recent Huashan Invitational, bringing pride to the nation.
Considering the Exploration Bureau's crackdown on the professional scene, many ninth-level Life Card Masters with family backgrounds started facing issues that caused their popularity to decline, which allowed Shen Sui to rise smoothly.
He entered the All-Star event in eighth place among the total of eight participants.
But the other surprising name for all professional Life Card Masters was none other than... Tang Lili.
Tang Lili, though indeed a professional Life Card Master, is more famously known as a catgirl idol, right? How did she end up on this list?
Moreover, Tang Lili wasn't just on the list; she entered it as the top-ranking in popularity, even outshining second place Tan Song.
This disgruntled some of the old-school ninth-level Life Card Masters.
Losing to Shen Sui was understandable; he indeed had achievements, but losing to you, a catgirl idol, is outrageous! What's your dueling record?
As a result, this All-Star event lineup quickly sparked heated discussions online.
Compared to the enraged ninth-level Life Card Masters, netizens were thrilled.
The All-Star event is an entertainment dueling competition where the top eight most popular Life Card Masters in Huaxia are invited by vote, with no rank requirement for participants. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Tang Lili, although famous as an idol, is still a registered professional Life Card Master and already a fourth-level Life Card Master.
Moreover, Tang Lili is extremely dedicated to her work as a professional Life Card Master; even her harshest critics have a hard time finding dirt on her in the professional dueling scene.
In contrast to those star Life Card Masters, her immense popularity never gets used to pressure opponents into conceding; she sneaks into every duel - although she eventually gets spotted by her fans.
In short, as a professional Life Card Master, Tang Lili is qualified to participate in the All-Star event, complying entirely with the event's rules.
Besides, her ascension to the top of the popularity charts isn't solely thanks to her fanbase; audiences tired of the previous competitive environment also cast their votes for her in the absence of better options.
You so-called high-rank Life Card Masters who didn't make the cut, even in an entertainment event like the All-Star, always duel with the same fixed mindset, which is utterly boring.
Rather than watching your dull duels, it's more entertaining to watch a catgirl play cards.
Otherwise, why would Zhou Keji, who also follows a popular idol route, not make it, but instead weaker Tang Lili gets into the All-Star list?
As this matter brewed, recordings of Tang Lili participating in professional events have surfaced.
People found that Tang Lili, as an event idol, actually has some dueling capability, and some even said she could take on fifth or sixth-level Life Card Masters.
But regardless of the online buzz, this incident indeed affected Tang Lili.
Voting for the All-Star event was entirely driven by the netizens, and nominations were also conducted by them.
Tang Lili never imagined she could be part of the All-Star event, so she was stunned when she saw her name topping the voting charts, even asking her manager to stop her fans from voting.
She has a clear understanding of her own level; if she truly faced those powerful ninth-level Life Card Masters, it would be purely embarrassing.
Yet, once things happen, they sometimes spiral beyond one's control.
