My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

Watching Qiu Ende step toward inevitable defeat in Shen Sui’s infinite loop, the spectators You Wenqi and Theis remained silent.

"If it were you, facing this situation, what would you do?" Theis asked slowly after Qiu Ende’s defeat, pausing for half a minute.

"Hand trap or graveyard trap, maybe," You Wenqi responded with a furrowed brow.

But when he said this, he was also feeling uncertain.

When Shen Sui activated the Poker Cat effect, he had already checked the opponent’s deck and hand information, surely knowing if the opponent had a hand trap to counter the current chain.

You Wenqi didn’t believe that Shen Sui was without ways to deal with these, considering that his Soul Card, Alice, had so many forms. Some had once taken screenshots from duel videos to count, and less than one-tenth of the forms Shen Sui had Alice unfold were actually used in duels.

What’s more, Shen Sui also had Qishala.

[Star Abyss White Dragon·Qishala] is a powerful Slayer Card, and [Dragon Conqueror·Qishala] is a standard suppression endpoint, capable of negating an opponent’s card effects.

You Wenqi knew this, and Theis, who had also studied Shen Sui, knew this as well.

"Really absurd," Theis muttered.

Cards that can only be used once per duel are usually super powerful cards that can change the situation on their own. When these cards have their usage limitations removed, their terror will make all Life Card Masters despair.

Theis now bore personal witness to the birth of such a card.

What happened to Qiu Ende afterward was practically like imprisonment.

"You could clearly open a game yourself, but you just had to call me over to torment you."

This sentence deeply depicted Qiu Ende’s present predicament.

Of course, Theis felt that Shen Sui had already been very merciful by letting Qiu Ende draw those three cards. Considering his performance against Kase in the previous match, who knows if he’d play a Life Card, stripping you of the three cards you searched.

Imprison you and not even give you a food allowance, now that’s real Underworld torment.

The duel ended, and Qiu Ende stood on the field for a long time.

His gaze was vacant, and even his whole body seemed to sway a bit.

Theis hurriedly went up to support Qiu Ende down.

After all, this was a junior he had high hopes for; he couldn’t let him be shattered by this brat Shen Sui.

There have been many cases in Life Card Duel history where talented young duelists got their dao hearts shattered after a single duel and then faded into obscurity.

It’s precisely because such things happened so often that You Wenqi became so cherished. This guy lost so many crucial matches yet insisted on carrying the weight of public ridicule all the way to this point, seemingly unaffected in his capability.

"I’ll take him away first," Theis knew that letting Qiu Ende stay here would only cause him continued suffering, so he turned to You Wenqi and said, "We’ll leave this to you all."

He left very decisively this time.

After these two duels, he was very clear in his heart that if even You Wenqi and Shen Sui couldn’t resolve the current situation, there was no point for him to stay here. It was better to monitor the venue from outside; if anything happened, he could offer assistance.

You Wenqi looked up at the eye on the dome.

An eerie aura lingered throughout the venue.

El Lado stood smiling on the high stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen," his voice was ancient and uncanny, "shall we take ample rest before the final duel?"

You Wenqi turned to look at Shen Sui.

Shen Sui slightly nodded.

At this point, Shen Sui had seen through it; the opponent was clearly stalling for time.

You Wenqi naturally had a similar suspicion.

This stalling was quite unusual, and it happening with Haral made it even more intriguing.

Maybe it’d learned caution after being frustrated twice in succession, but it was more likely that it was learning.

You Wenqi, although not having as extensive an understanding of the world consciousness and rules as Shen Sui, had as the strongest combat force in the Starry World slightly touched the fringes of the rules.

From Haral’s previous behavior, it wasn’t hard to see that merely with an eye, Haral couldn’t truly invade the real world; it couldn’t breach the blockades of the rules.

It was digesting and learning the information about Life Card Duels revealed by everyone during the competition.

You Wenqi’s thoughts sank.

Does this mean that after this duel, there might be another one with Haral waiting for him?

If it were just normal learning, You Wenqi was confident enough to crush the opponent with absolute strength.

But having fought countless Extraordinaries, You Wenqi knew very well that even if they really planned to settle the score with you through a duel, they would definitely not obediently follow all the duel rules.

When do the strong ever play games by the rules? Probably only when they feel that following the rules benefits them, or they genuinely like the game.

When they feel that a fair game no longer serves their interest or they deem such a game unnecessary, they’re always ready to flip the table.

You Wenqi, while dueling with Extraordinaries, was always prepared for the opponent to flip the table, not to mention with such cold-blooded Broken Boundary Creatures.

Just as You Wenqi wanted to share his thoughts with Shen Sui beside him, he saw Shen Sui was looking at the eye on the dome with a mischievous and greedy gaze.
