My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

Theis said proudly, "I never misjudge. I wonder how you’ll respond when this card is played in the finals?"

"So confident he’ll win?" You Wenqi wasn’t the least bit anxious. "Don’t forget, he’s Shen Sui."

Even so, this Spell Card is indeed somewhat outrageous.

If the duel rules hadn’t changed last year, during the pre-game check phase, no matter how many Life Cards he sacrificed on his side, You Wenqi would have insisted that Huaxia’s Life Card Association toss this card into the Forbidden Card List.

It can be used not only to steal the opponent’s first turn.

When about to win, it can deliver a fatal blow to the opponent to secure victory.

When about to lose, it can break the opponent’s rhythm to give oneself a chance of survival.

You Wenqi thought this, raising his head to look at Shen Sui.

I wonder how Shen Sui will respond this time?

You Wenqi watched as Shen Sui opened his deck and selected three Life Cards to add to his hand.

Qiu Ende drew a card, officially starting his turn.

"Pay 7 Soul Points." He quickly drew a Follower Card from his hand and announced loudly, "Normally summon from my hand, Fantasy Spirit Beast: Praying Mouse."

A cute mouse praying with clasped hands appeared on Qiu Ende’s field.

"Activate the Praying Mouse’s effect, once per turn, I can special summon a Fantasy Spirit Beast from the deck."

"I choose to special summon from my deck, Fantasy Spirit Beast: Door-Closing Rabbit."

The Spell Card body which had just delivered a fatal blow to Shen Sui appeared on Qiu Ende’s field.

If not for its underworld effect, based on appearance alone, it’s undoubtedly a cute rabbit.

But for some reason, at this moment, in Shen Sui’s eyes, this rabbit seemed particularly repulsive.

Qiu Ende, meanwhile, started his play without a care.

Using Door-Closing Rabbit’s effect, he disabled his graveyard; all Life Cards sent to the graveyard were directly banished, exchanging this for the chance to draw three cards from the deck.

Then, he summoned Poker Cat from his hand.

"Activate Fantasy Spirit Beast: Poker Cat’s effect." Qiu Ende continued, "It can only be activated once per duel; declare the Card Name of a Spell Card, check and confirm all of the opponent’s zones. If the opponent’s deck, graveyard, banished zone, and hand contain the declared Spell Card, the opponent cannot use that Card for the rest of the duel, and a copy of that Spell Card is added to my hand."

Goodness.

Fake cards again, huh!

However, even though this card’s effect is strong, it’s very reliant on information. After all, Life Card Duel is different from other duel games; each player uses completely different decks, making it hard to have a standardized build.

Qiu Ende certainly knows this too.

Although they studied all the players’ materials in detail before coming to compete, betting successfully on an ever-changing deck like Shen Sui’s is still a bit challenging.

Fortunately, although Shen Sui’s builds are diverse, the probability of including some highly versatile Spell Cards is still substantial.

"I declare," Qiu Ende said with exceptional certainty, "Shining Debut!"

With Qiu Ende’s words, a Spell Card flew out from Shen Sui’s deck. During this process, Qiu Ende didn’t forget to take a deliberate look at Shen Sui’s hand and deck.

Under the effect, Shining Debut turned completely gray, while simultaneously, a copy of Shining Debut appeared in Qiu Ende’s hand.

Qiu Ende recalled the information he had just seen in Shen Sui’s hand.

He couldn’t help but become annoyed.

Door-Closing Rabbit’s End Notice allowed Shen Sui to unconditionally search three cards from his deck. Although he knew there were probably some hand traps inside, he never imagined all three were hand traps.

Why on earth are you packing so many hand traps into your deck?

Qiu Ende thought to himself agitatedly.

These three hand traps can basically ensure Shen Sui survives till the next turn.

So, Qiu Ende abandoned the idea of ending the duel this turn, opting instead to use his resources to create a flawless endgame, restricting Shen Sui’s operations in the next turn.

With this thought, Qiu Ende’s play was firm and swift.

"Pay Soul Points, activate Spell Card Shining Debut from my hand." Qiu Ende activated the Shining Debut he had copied from Shen Sui, special summoning a level 5 or lower Fantasy Spirit Beast from his deck.

Next, he activated the effect of the Fantasy Spirit Beast: Palm-sized Shiba Inu just summoned, copying and activating the effect of Fantasy Spirit Beast: Praying Mouse, special summoning once again.

"Now, there are four Fantasy Spirit Beasts on my field!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Sui’s DNA stirred; he almost thought Qiu Ende was going to exceed.

"Activate the effect of Ordinary Office Worker Li Yili in my hand, switch her form to Fantasy Executor Li Yili, and special summon her to the field!"

Qiu Ende directly special summoned his Soul Card from his hand.

"Fantasy Executor Li Yili", this card can only be special summoned from the hand when there are four Fantasy Spirit Beasts on the field.

When this card is successfully special summoned, choose up to four empty Follower Positions on the opponent’s field to disable. However, this disabling is not permanent; as Qiu Ende’s number of Fantasy Spirit Beasts on the field decreases, the opponent can unlock a corresponding number of disabled positions.
