Unbelievable draw!
Shen Sui was overjoyed in his heart.
It seems that fate hasn’t completely abandoned me yet!

******
The chips for victory are already in hand!
But I must be cautious!
Shen Sui revealed the 6-star set card he had been hesitant to activate: "Activate the set card! Activate Spell Card [Thunder Strike]. It can only be activated once per duel, during either player’s main phase. Choose an area on the opponent’s field and pay half your life value to activate, destroying all cards in the same area on both fields."
He chose Song Feiyu’s Magic Area and paid half his life value.
{Shen Sui, Life Value 1000→500}
A fireball floated out from [Thunder Strike], drifting slowly over the opponent’s magic area.
Boom!
Suddenly, a muffled sound echoed from the sky, and the next moment, a bolt of lightning struck directly at Song Feiyu’s magic area, targeting the fireball.
Three set cards were directly destroyed by the surging electric light.
In an instant, Song Feiyu’s magic area was left empty.
Song Feiyu was a bit bewildered.
Clearing Card?
Is such a card even allowed in student duels?
These kinds of cards are generally hard to find in the market. Those who acquire such cards in the Soul Card World are reluctant to sell them.
What on earth did Shen Sui do in the Soul Card World?
"Next," Shen Sui drew out the Mutated Fish King, "activate the effect of the Mutated Fish King, and release your [Star Soul Divination Master: From Heaven] and [Star Soul Slave·Yi]! Special summon this follower to your field."
At the moment the effect activated, a greasy, filthy water stain spread across Song Feiyu’s follower area. The stain formed a torrent, engulfing the two followers on his field. In the next moment, a strangely shaped fish appeared on Song Feiyu’s field.
Its forehead was covered with inexplicable lumps, and its long whiskers nearly wrapped around its entire body.
Look at the fish I caught, isn’t it huge!
Instinctively, Song Feiyu clicked on the Mutated Fish King’s interface to view the effects, and he was dumbfounded.
What kind of effect is this?
Forget it, forget it. When it’s my turn, I’ll quickly release it....
"Then, pay 10 Soul Points to activate from my hand the Equipment Spell Card [Vivian’s Matchbox], equipping it to the Mutated Fish King on your field." Shen Sui pointed the matchbox at the Fish King.
[Vivian’s Matchbox], the equipped follower cannot be released.
"..." Song Feiyu looked at Shen Sui, then at the Mutated Fish King on his own field, and fell silent.
As long as this Equipment Spell Card remains, Song Feiyu cannot release the Mutated Fish King, which means he’ll face the fate of losing by decking out.
Feeling that it wasn’t safe enough, Shen Sui opened the graveyard and activated the effect of [Malicious Puppet Natasha] from the graveyard, selecting three [Puppet] followers from the deck to send to the graveyard, and then activating a Spell Card from the deck.
What Shen Sui wanted to activate was the Permanent Spell Card [Star Magic Array].
The power of the stars unfolded once again on Shen Sui’s field.
And this famous chain of Shen Sui’s was still missing a crucial piece—[Magic Apprentice Alice].
"Activate the effect of the [Substitute Puppet Jamie] I just sent to the graveyard!" Shen Sui said, "Once per turn, I can banish this card from the graveyard to add a follower card with multiple forms from the deck, graveyard, or banishment zone to my hand."
"Adding the [Magic Apprentice Alice] from my banishment zone to my hand."
"Pay 1 Soul Point to normally summon from my hand! [Magic Apprentice Alice]."
Accompanied by a gentle light of summoning, Alice finally arrived at her loyal dueling ground.
[Mutated Fish King Anludron] + [Vivian’s Matchbox].
[Star Magic Array] + [Magic Apprentice Alice].
The strongest combination in my hand has been formed.
How will you respond to this?
With a slight grin, Shen Sui said, "My turn ends."
He certainly wouldn’t use Alice to attack the Mutated Fish King; that would be a suicidal move. It was better to directly end his turn.
Song Feiyu gazed at Shen Sui’s field, lost in silence for a long time.
Shen Sui’s Life Value was only 500 points left, clearly a gentle touch would secure an easy victory. However, now the Mutated Fish King on his field firmly blocked his path to victory.
But.... I haven’t lost yet!
Song Feiyu placed his hand on the deck.
As long as I draw that card!
"My turn!"
Song Feiyu seemed to use all his strength as he drew a card from his deck.
"Draw a card!"
The momentum of this shout seemed to unleash some kind of soul.
"The victory of this duel." Seeing the card in his hand, Song Feiyu’s lips curled into a triumphant smile. He had won, in this fierce duel against Shen Sui, he had won, "is mine to claim!"
"Pay 1 Soul Point! Activate from my hand."
"Spell Card, [Fireball Technique]!"
"Inflicts 500 damage to you!" Song Feiyu pointed at Shen Sui.
"Whoa!"
Damn, is it a printed card?!
Shen Sui looked in disbelief at Song Feiyu’s lucky draw.
I only have 500 Life Value left, and you just draw a spell card that deals 500 damage?
Wait....
Why does this card look so familiar?
Isn’t this the card I sold? Damn!
Shen Sui felt a bit overwhelmed.
Can this duel even go on?
A massive fireball flew directly at Shen Sui.
Boom!
The fireball struck Shen Sui hard. The rising flames formed a curtain of fire on the dueling field.
Did he win?
Song Feiyu stared intently at the opposite side.
When the flames fully died away, Shen Sui appeared in front of him.
Shen Sui.
Life Value: 500.
"What?!" Song Feiyu’s eyes widened in shock.
Unscathed?
At this moment, Shen Sui had already flipped his set card: "Your lucky draw is impressive, but I’m sorry, I anticipated all possibilities!"
This duel, I still have the upper hand!
"When you activated the Fireball Technique, I activated the last set card on the field!"
The revealed set card is exactly the 2-star Spell Card [Infiltration Disguise].
Once per turn, when an opponent activates a card effect or declares an attack, it can be activated to allow a Soul Card on your field to undergo Form Transformation.
And Shen Sui used this card to transform the [Magic Apprentice: Alice] on the field into the [Rebellious Witch: Hozerville].
"Activate the effect of [Rebellious Witch: Hozerville]. As long as this Follower exists on the field, when I take battle or effect damage, I can banish a Follower Card from the Graveyard to negate the damage, then this Follower’s Spirit Value increases by the amount of damage negated."
At the moment the fireball hit him, Shen Sui activated the effect of the Rebellious Witch, banishing a puppet from the graveyard to nullify the damage.
The Rebellious Witch’s Spirit Value increased from 1000 to 1500. This was also the reason why Shen Sui wanted to search for Alice immediately upon seeing Song Feiyu’s deck structure, because as long as the Rebellious Witch was on the field, Song Feiyu’s Soul Card effects couldn’t affect him at all.
"Is that so..." Song Feiyu smiled in understanding, "No wonder you’re called the God of Age."
Ding!
Just then, a notification sounded from Shen Sui’s Dueling Device.
Shen Sui instinctively looked at his Dueling Device, frowning slightly. It was a new service subscription, sending a notification when a new card was acquired.
"I surrender." Song Feiyu suddenly said, "It seems you’ve won, Shen Sui."
"Huh?" Shen Sui looked at Song Feiyu in surprise. In all honesty, he could have stalled the match because the Spirit Value of the Mutated Fish King was very high, and Shen Sui could have only won by making Song Feiyu draw through his deck.
"I don’t have any cards left to clear the field, and deliberately stalling isn’t good for anyone." Song Feiyu smiled, pointing at Shen Sui’s Dueling Device, "Besides, it looks like your Soul Card needs you now."
Gazing at Song Feiyu, Shen Sui expressed his gratitude: "Thank you."
"I’m looking forward to our next duel," Song Feiyu remained confident, "next time, I won’t lose."
"Haha, then I’ll be waiting for your challenge." Shen Sui waved his hand, quickly turned, and ran towards the dormitory.
What is Alice up to now?
On the way, Shen Sui opened his Dueling Device to check on Alice’s situation.
[Alice led the Sok Alliance Army to defeat a group of the Roland Knight Team.]
[Alice decided to infiltrate first, looking for an opportunity to guide the main forces of both sides into a decisive battle.]
[Alice activated Infiltration Disguise and led a small squad disguised as the Roland Knight Team.]
[Alice set up a checkpoint at the main pass, collecting tolls to gather intelligence on Paiyiga City’s current influence.]
[Ding! You have acquired the Spell Card: Toll]
