My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

"Are you ready for the second duel?" You Wenqi asked.

Shen Sui took a deep look at the scene behind You Wenqi, a ruin left behind after the Candlestick Mouse Immortal’s attack shattered everything along the way.

The duel has impacted reality.

At least within Haral’s domain, that’s the case.

"It seems," Shen Sui said to You Wenqi, "no matter which of us ends up standing in front of this eye, we need to finish this as quickly as possible."

You Wenqi turned his head to look, then chuckled and said, "That’s very simple for us, isn’t it?"

Shen Sui rolled his eyes, "You’re so overconfident with your words."

"I always am with things I’m confident about," You Wenqi said, very calmly, then activated his Dueling Device, "So, are you ready?"

"Of course."

Shen Sui, undaunted, showed his own Dueling Device.

As the Duel Realm unfolded once more, Shen Sui’s match point round began.

Outside, Doron looked up at the livestream entered through special channels on his phone and said to Theis beside him, "Who do you think will win between those two?"

"Shen Sui," Theis immediately replied.

Doron was a bit stunned, "You’re that sure? Not even analyzing? Didn’t You Wenqi just beat you? You actually think Shen Sui will be the last one standing?"

After a barrage of questions, Doron paused before continuing, "Is it because Shen Sui won the first round, so you have faith in him?"

"No..." Theis said, heavy-heartedly, "It’s that I have faith in You Wenqi."

Tan Song, also watching the livestream without any Huaxia teammates around him, actually moved next to Dongye Youzai.

Dongye Youzai was a handsome young man, though his hairstyle was a bit too flamboyant.

However, Tan Song had grown accustomed to it; unlike Huaxia’s Life Card Masters, who had to maintain a good image in public due to official restrictions and avoid any flashy antics, Life Card Masters from many other countries often liked or sought attention by deliberately making themselves stylish.

Dongye Youzai, looking at Tan Song approaching, felt a bit exasperated.

Though he was a former world champion and had defeated Tan Song and You Wenqi on the world stage, he had also lost to them many times.

Dongye Youzai, somewhat helpless, turned his head away, not wanting to pay attention to this annoying man.

Tan Song, leveraging his social anxiety talent, sat next to Dongye Youzai, coughed twice to change the subject, and started talking about Shen Sui and You Wenqi’s duel.

These Life Card Masters who always met on the same stage rarely harbored true hatred in private; the so-called "sworn enemies" were merely a comparison of tournament results, as many of them were actually very good friends in private.

Just like You Wenqi and Theis, although they fought fiercely during matches, Theis was the first to offer help when You Wenqi faced setbacks domestically.

Dongye Youzai wasn’t particularly popular in the circle, mainly because he’s a recluse and not very sociable. But from Tan Song’s rare encounters, Dongye Youzai was actually a person of good character.

It’s just that such a person unfortunately met a vampire wife.

Tan Song vividly remembered Dongye Youzai’s case.

If Tan Song remembered correctly, Dongye Youzai’s wife sued for divorce on the grounds that her husband was involved with a Soul Card and succeeded.

Dongye Youzai, too, was ruthless. At the critical moment of the world championship, he chose to leave empty-handed because he felt it was troublesome.

However, according to analyses from many netizens later, the divorce case was likely orchestrated by certain individuals within Japan to target Dongye Youzai. After this, although Dongye Youzai won the championship again, he was banned from using half of his deck by the Life Card Association.

These connected events almost turned Dongye Youzai into a ruined man, not even money left.

But Dongye Youzai, being Dongye Youzai, was truly ruthless.

Ignoring the obstruction from Japan’s Life Card Association, he directly sold the banned half of the deck abroad and used those funds to restart his Life Card Master career.

Half a year later, Dongye Youzai made a perfect comeback. Though not as strong as before, he still could sweep Japan without any issue. And with the dawn of the Extraordinary Era, the championship deck that was scattered abroad became the cause of many people’s setbacks.

Dongye Youzai could only reluctantly accept Tan Song’s friendly advances, struggling to say a few words in response to Tan Song’s question.

"So, who do you think has the greater chance of winning?" Tan Song asked.

Dongye Youzai was silent for a moment, then said, "Setting other factors aside, You Wenqi is very strong."

Setting other factors aside...

"I’ve never dueled Shen Sui, so I’m not sure," Dongye Youzai was always honest.

"Not able to evaluate...?"

"A Life Card Master’s measure of strength is solely their own," Dongye Youzai stood up and said, "Any opinion from others is meaningless; only personal experience provides the truest feeling."

Saying this, he turned around and left, "I need to prepare for the buffer zone test. See you next match."

"Huh? Preparing now?" Tan Song was dumbfounded, but when he looked up, Dongye Youzai was already far away.

Compared to the Life Card Masters who focused on the strength comparison between duelists, various countries’ officials watching the match were more concerned with which of the two could prevent this terrifying entity from descending.
