My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

Alice was tricked by Tan Song.

But you can’t really blame her.

Having smoothly cleared the way all along, Alice grew a bit complacent for just an instant.

It was in that instant of complacency that Xu Qingyin seized the opportunity to deal Alice a deadly blow.

If Alice hadn’t used the Dawn Power to ignite and reshape herself at the moment she suffered the fatal injury, she might have already been knocked out.

Alice’s reaction speed was quite fast, as she immediately determined the opponent’s position the moment she was struck.

But where did Alice get this teleportation ability from?

Shen Sui seemed to remember that Alice never mastered Space Magic.

Judging from the Dawn Power contained within, it should be the result of Alice’s analysis of the Buffer Space’s rules.

However, Tan Song is not someone to be underestimated.

When he launched his attack on Alice, he had already thought of all the opponent’s countermeasures.

Although he didn’t expect Alice to suddenly jump behind him, it wasn’t really different, since his only response after Xu Qingyin was bypassed was to force a duel to drag the opponent into the Duel Realm for a life-and-death battle.

"So you’ve been caught anyway." Shen Sui’s figure gradually turned phantom, appearing in a guardian spirit form behind Alice.

There was no other way, though he had briefly explained the rules of the duel to Alice, she had not formally dueled before, and still needed guidance. If necessary, he would even need to step in himself.

Alice gave a wry smile and replied softly, "The guy next to him is too strong. If I didn’t get close, I couldn’t get near this person at all."

If possible, Alice wouldn’t want to take risks either, but Xu Qingyin’s strength actually surpassed Alice’s by a lot. This disciple of Ye Zhou’Er was among the strongest cultivators even in the realm of immortals, and Alice only had a slight advantage due to the special Dawn Power.

Tan Song couldn’t hear their conversation, but his expression was far from relaxed.

In his eyes, Alice appeared like a puppet, and although he managed to drag her into the Duel Realm and avoid being one-shot from behind, the deck of this puppet was said to have been tailored by Shen Sui, and Tan Song didn’t feel confident about winning this duel easily.

Meanwhile, in the real world, Vivian was reviewing the test data from the Buffer Space.

Although they couldn’t watch the live images due to the world barrier, through this detailed data, Vivian could roughly piece together the situation there.

Initially, Vivian believed that although some unexpected events might occur during the test, the overall direction should be without issues. However, looking at the data before her, Vivian fell into silence.

"How’s it going?" Freymia came over with fruits, plopping down beside Vivian and glancing at her data board.

Looking at the screen full of numbers, Freymia’s eyes began to spin instantly, as if she was back on the Elf Empress’s throne dealing with government affairs.

She quickly shook her head to shake off the illusion and instantly lost interest in the data board in front of Vivian, turning simply to ask, "Is it going smoothly?"

"It’s very strange." Vivian said with a frown.

"What happened?"

"Judging from the data," Vivian pointed her finger at a string of numbers, "the final boss I arranged was already dealt with at the very beginning."

"Eh? Are there such strong characters in this group of people?" Freymia was shocked. At that time, she had deliberately reviewed the puppet’s creation process to prevent Vivian from installing any unnecessary components for Shen Sui’s private use, knowing the puppet’s strength.

Vivian shook her head: "Unless Sui personally makes a move, no one can defeat it on a formal battlefield."

Her intention in creating this puppet was to force the Life Card Masters participating in the test to choose a Life Card Duel for the final battle; if they could defeat the opponent solely on Soul Card strength, the test’s objective wouldn’t be met.

"Could it be that he caused it?" Freymia asked.

Vivian nodded: "I’ve been considering that as well, but would he have that much free time?"

"Who knows." Freymia shrugged, "But since the final boss has been resolved, why hasn’t the test ended?"

Vivian sighed: "That’s the strangest thing—because their battle is still ongoing, and there have already been significant casualties. Eighty percent of the Life Card Masters have been cleared out. There are now only three Life Card Masters left in that space... judging from the codenames..."

As she spoke, Vivian checked the codenames: Shen Sui, Tan Song, You Wenqi.

She squinted her eyes; the latter two are unlikely to have the capability to stir up trouble, so who else but Shen Sui could achieve such a thing?

When all other possible explanations are eliminated, the one which remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

Indeed, this situation was caused by Shen Sui.

Frightened by the aura Vivian was radiating, Freymia was so startled she dropped the orange in her hand onto the ground.

"Tell Qishala to prepare something simple for lunch." Vivian raised her head, a mass of data appearing before her thick as countless ants. "I have to handle this data, a simple sandwich will do."
