Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Your Follower Is Impressive, So I Fed It to the Fish
"When I take battle damage, the effect of the Rebellious Witch activates, banishing the [Armed Puppet Soya] from my graveyard, nullifying that damage, and then," Shen Sui pointed at the Rebellious Witch, "the Rebellious Witch’s Spirit Value increases by the amount of damage, so! Her Spirit Value increases by 6800!"
{Rebellious Witch, Spirit Value 1000→7800}
On Feng Lindu’s field, the Spirit Value of that zombie follower is only 500; Shen Sui just needs to attack directly to win the duel.
"My turn ends." Feng Lindu appeared unfazed.
Having been through the professional arena for so many years, he’s faced countless storms, and being countered by an opponent with a single card happens from time to time.
However, while you have a battle damage nullifying effect, so do I.
As long as [Zombie Hunter Lin Zhen] is on the field, the opponent cannot declare an attack.
Also.
Feng Lindu had this confidence.
As long as there is a [Zombie] follower on the field, [Zombie Hunter Lin Zhen] cannot be targeted by card effects, nor can it be destroyed or banished by card effects.
"Quite a nice counterattack." Feng Lindu crossed his arms, "You’ve earned my recognition."
Shen Sui’s counterattack was excellent. No matter how unscrupulous he was, it wasn’t right to suppress Shen Sui and say he was inadequate; otherwise, if the duel video got publicized, it would become evidence of him deliberately suppressing newcomers.
Why are local audiences dissatisfied with the domestic competition environment? Isn’t it because those dueling families collude with the Life Card Association, using the Forbidden Card system to deliberately suppress the rising civilian Life Card Masters?
Feng Lindu couldn’t make that mistake.
The streamers who fight fake products sell fake products—that is an indelible stain.
I don’t need your approval either.
Shen Sui thought to himself.
"My turn, draw a card." Shen Sui drew a card from the deck.
Feng Lindu’s follower effects on the field, he had reviewed them during his morning preparation.
Resistance?
Can’t declare an attack?
Very strong.
Your followers are very strong!
"My turn." Shen Sui drew a card from his hand, "I’ll liberate your [Zombie Hunter Lin Zhen] and [Specialized Third-Type Zombie] from your field to special summon! [Fish King Paiyiga] on your field."
Such strong followers, very suitable as fish fodder.
So I’ll gladly take them to feed the fish.
"What?!" Feng Lindu’s eyes widened suddenly.
Then he saw his two followers on the field swallowed by the rising lake water as if they were made of paper.
A beautiful big fish appeared on his field.
[Fish King Paiyiga], Spirit Value 2000.
No, what is this liberating my followers on the field?
What kind of effect is this?!
Don’t panic! Stay calm!
7800-2000, it’s just 5800 damage, I still have 200 Life Value.
"Then," Shen Sui drew another card from his hand, "pay 1 Soul Point to normally summon from my hand, [Alice’s Little Mare]."
[Alice’s Little Mare], Star Level 1, Spirit Value 200.
"Damn!" A spectator couldn’t help blurting out, "Such good draws?"
"No kidding, the guy drew four cards on his first turn."
"Pay 2 Soul Points, 5 Soul Points, and set two Spell Cards on my field."
Shen Sui didn’t waste any words, placing the two cards in his hand face-down on the field.
Then he entered the battle phase.
"Now, it’s my turn to attack." Shen Sui already smelled the scent of victory.
"Have the Rebellious Witch Hozerville on my field attack your Fish King Paiyiga on your field!"
Alice raised her sleeve.
"At this moment!" Feng Lindu drew a card and shouted loudly, "Activate the effect of [Mutated Zombie Type 7] in my hand! This effect can be activated when the opponent’s follower attacks, discard it from your hand to activate it, making this attack damage 0!"
"It’s useless!" Shen Sui didn’t let Feng Lindu off easy.
You said I didn’t have enough ability? Then I don’t need to save face for you.
More fans?
So what if you have more fans?
Duels are won through dueling!
"At this moment! Activate the effect of [Cursed Puppet Abigail] in the graveyard! When you activate a card effect, render your card effect ineffective, and then special summon Abigail to the field!"
Abigail, reproduce!
"Abigail’s effect activates, since I don’t have other puppets on the field, I receive 2000 damage."
"You should be thankful." Shen Sui looked at Feng Lindu, always holding grudges, he retorted, "If my graveyard had a follower card that could be banished, this strike would have been finished!"
{Shen Sui, Life Value 6000→4000}
"Alice! Continue the attack!" Although the Rebellious Witch’s card name is Hozerville, Shen Sui was more accustomed to calling her Alice.
Alice revealed a cute smile.
In this form, she was merely a third-tier mage, with only a fireball as her attack method.
But this fireball can inflict 5800 points of damage!
Boom!
The fireball slammed into Fish King Paiyiga, and this unfortunate Fish King, before even realizing where it was, was dispatched with a Fireball Technique.
Afterward, the traces of the flames rushed toward Feng Lindu.
The real burning sensation made Feng Lindu emit a groan of pain.
[Feng Lindu, Life Value 6000→200]
"It’s not over yet." Shen Sui pointed at the little white horse on his field, "Let my little horse attack directly!"
The little horse made a happy snort, trotting playfully to Feng Lindu, then turned, leaped, and kicked Feng Lindu hard.
Feng Lindu was kicked straight away.
His Life Value dropped to 0 as well.
He lost.
Not only did he lose to Shen Sui, a newbie student with no rank.
He was also trampled to death by a horse.
Insulting, for Feng Lindu, this was utter humiliation.
At this moment, whether the audience, the referee, or the dean and teachers of Tianyi Academy looked incredulously at this scene.
They didn’t expect Feng Lindu to lose.
This sure wasn’t a duel exam with a deliberately weakened deck strength!
This was a fifth-tier Life Card Master in full force.
Moreover, it was Feng Lindu, a recent powerhouse with championship potential as a fifth-tier Life Card Master.
He was the Feng Lindu that everyone in the nation was hoping to win the championship!
How dare Shen Sui!
Liang Hui already foresaw his academy being besieged by Feng Lindu’s fans.
Clap.
Clap clap.
However, unexpectedly for him, behind him, those supposed to be Feng Lindu’s fans stood up; they excitedly clapped their hands.
"Fantastic! This duel may have been short, but it was extremely exciting!"
"This is what a real duel looks like! Damn! In comparison, the national competition is just garbage, full of boring duels!"
"Keep it up! Don’t get discouraged! Brother Feng. Winning and losing are commonplace in battle! Keep pushing in the finals!"
These lovely spectators have never been fans of one specific person.
They are fans of Life Card Duels.
Unexpectedly, Shen Sui looked toward the audience, feeling truly happy.
It seems that domestic competitions aren’t that bad after all.
Just for these lovely spectators, I have to fiercely punish those pests!
