Chapter 115: Chapter 114: The Return of Xu Tianzhi
After being teased by Xinyuan Tanchun, Shen Sui sobered up a bit.
"So, what’s the deal?"
Xinyuan Tanchun straightforwardly told Shen Sui, "Aren’t you concerned about your opponent in the fifth match of tomorrow’s Ranking Tournament?"
"Oh? You know?"
"If the information I got is correct, it’s probably pretty accurate." Xinyuan Tanchun said.
A short while ago, her sister Xinyuan Yingxue had just won the fourth match of the Ranking Tournament, just like Shen Sui, becoming a quasi-Fourth Rank Life Card Master.
This was a double blessing for Xinyuan Tanchun.
Although she has publicly severed ties with the Xinyuan Clan, she still cares for and looks out for her sister. It’s just a pity that her Soul Card World is not World No. 19, so she can’t provide much care for Xinyuan Yingxue in the Soul Card World. Thinking back, it’s actually Xinyuan Yingxue who has taken care of her more over the years.
Seeing Xinyuan Tanchun, Shen Sui remembered.
The World No. 19 where Lin Zhen resides is exactly the Soul Card World of the Xinyuan Clan, isn’t it? It’s said that the Xinyuan Clan has already developed into a formidable force in World No. 19.
"But although this matter isn’t a secret, by convention, I’m not the one to reveal it, so I better not say." Xinyuan Tanchun shifted her tone.
"Then why the hell did you call me?" Shen Sui complained speechlessly.
"Ah, I just wanted to hear you act like this." On the other end, Xinyuan Tanchun giggled, "Do you know how much pressure I’ve been under facing Isabella these days? I always feel like she’s about to eat me, even though we’re from two different worlds..."
No, she probably really does want to eat you.
But it’s the you in the Dawn Continent.
Shen Sui suddenly became very curious about Xinyuan Tanchun’s situation on the Dawn Continent.
From what she says, it seems like she’s just one of Isabella’s many ingredients.
It’s not surprising.
Isabella is fondest of the blood of beautiful girls.
She’s an elegant True Ancestor of Vampires, and it seems I’m the only male in this life to arouse her bloodlust...
Shen Sui thought without reason because Isabella said this line in a special storyline with maximum affection, which he remembered quite clearly.
"I can’t tell you his name, but I think you’ll figure out who he is soon." Xinyuan Tanchun said, "After all, it seems he applied for this himself."
Xinyuan Tanchun didn’t state it directly but gave Shen Sui plenty of clues.
Someone Shen Sui knows.
And someone who applied voluntarily.
Shen Sui doesn’t know many Fifth Rank Life Card Masters.
Feng Lindu is now hovering on the brink of death, likely to be gone in a few days, so he probably won’t be coming for any Ranking Tournament duel.
Xinyuan Tanchun is also his coach.
Isn’t there only one option left?
Could your hint be any more obvious? Shen Sui complained in his heart.
"By the way, could you ask your sister to do me a favor?" Shen Sui suddenly spoke up, "Help me keep an eye out for someone named Lin Zhen in World No. 19."
"Lin Zhen? What’s special about this person?"
"I have a few cards that might be related to him, just curious."
"Alright." Xinyuan Tanchun didn’t ask further. After a few casual chats, she hung up the phone.
After yesterday’s events, today’s hot online topics popped up like raindrops.
First, 132 people related to the Life Card Association were arrested. It’s said the entire upper echelon of the Life Card Association was almost wiped out, leaving only 6 unblemished.,
Then Yuan Youxin heavily criticized the unfairness of the Forbidden Card system...
Yuan Youxin?
Shen Sui saw a familiar name.
Isn’t this guy the king of amateur tournaments? Why is he suddenly criticizing the Forbidden Cards?
In Shen Sui’s mind appeared the image of this guy going all out, which was truly rash.
"I finally made up my mind, planning to conquer the professional stages, and they banned my key card right off the bat! I’m just asking, is there any justice left in this world?" Yuan Youxin ranted on camera, "I’m just a First Rank Life Card Master! Why ban my card?!"
Shen Sui took a look, and it seemed the banned card for Yuan Youxin was [Cyan Seal Summoning Order].
I remember the effect of this card being something like paying 3000 Life Value, then revealing cards from the top of the deck to specially summon the revealed [Cyan Seal] Follower Cards until the user’s field is filled.
Honestly, based on this card’s strength, it certainly deserves a spot on the Forbidden Card List.
But there’s an old saying, just because it’s reasonable doesn’t mean it’s fair.
Hope this protest has some effect.
At least increase the compensation for Forbidden Cards; I’d like to make some money off of them in the future.
The third trending topic was the congratulations to Xu Tianzhi of Tianyi Club for winning the Light of Light Duel Invitation Tournament.
This competition is known as the most prestigious B-level tournament.
Winning this competition, Xu Tianzhi can apply for the Promotion Tournament from Fifth Rank to Seventh Rank.
He should be the opponent for my own Ranking Tournament, right?
Shen Sui wasn’t surprised that Xu Tianzhi came to cause trouble for him, as a misstep in the Duel Exam had already turned Xu Tianzhi into a laughingstock online.
The fact that he could endure until achieving results to wash off the stain before seeking trouble with Shen Sui was a bit unexpected for Shen Sui.
After all, Xu Tianzhi is a star player at Tianyi Club, while Shen Sui is a student at Tianyi Academy.
In other dramas or novels, this would definitely be a villain template, the kind that suppresses and mocks the protagonist mercilessly in life.
Only wanting to regain space through an open and honest duel?
Shen Sui crossed his arms, not afraid but rather a bit excited.
This is how a duelist regains their ground.
I like it.
He doesn’t mind Xu Tianzhi coming with a victory momentum.
Only the strong have the value of being defeated.
If you want to keep me from becoming a Fifth Rank Life Card Master, let’s see if you’re up to it.
This Fifth Rank, I’m determined to achieve it!
There’s a world of difference between Fourth Rank and Fifth Rank.
Fourth Rank Life Card Masters can only participate in C-level competitions. To gain qualification for a Promotion Tournament to Fifth Rank, they also need to accumulate enough competition points. Compared to A-level, B-level competitions, Huaxia’s C-level competitions are a mess, like the Bronze rank in LOL; a slight misstep could lead to failure, and staying too long might even merge into the rank.
Fifth Rank Life Card Masters gain the qualification to participate in B-level competitions, meaning the prize money they can earn increases significantly.
However, the five million bonus promised by the Exploration Bureau last night has already been credited to Shen Sui’s account.
The Exploration Bureau’s mission bonuses are tax-free.
This solid bonus raised Shen Sui’s favorability towards the Exploration Bureau by another notch.
This is how you really get things done!
The Exploration Bureau also notified him to select cards today.
Shen Sui checked the time, it was just noon.
Perfect timing, with the last match of the Ranking Tournament tomorrow, he could use this opportunity to tidy up his deck and then go to the Exploration Bureau to select suitable cards.
Shen Sui never underestimates any opponent.
Moreover, Xu Tianzhi is a powerful duelist not weaker than a Seventh Rank Life Card Master.
He had confidence in defeating him.
But he couldn’t be careless.
I recall Xu Tianzhi’s deck is of the type that wildly develops and spreads through Follower effects...
I remember that there seems to be a card like [Surfing Prosecutor] in the Exploration Bureau’s card library.
