Chapter 99: Chapter 98: Giving You a Powerful Card (2/5)
"Director Zhang." Wu Ziqin said to the man, "There’s no need for you to come personally for such matters, with Dean Bu’s forced duel module in place..."
"Even if the opponent is a foreign soul occupying Feng Lindu’s body." Zhang Fang said seriously, "But he also possesses Feng Lindu’s duel memories and experience. The forced duel module can, of course, lock the dueling device to force both parties into duel mode, effectively restraining otherworldly invaders with extraordinary power, but stopping them requires winning the duel. Once defeated, the challenger will also face severe penalties. Is there anyone in your Modu Exploration Bureau who can confidently say they can definitely defeat Feng Lindu?"
After all, a duel is a game full of uncertainties.
What is considered a guaranteed win is hard to define.
"Leaving such a serious task to you guys, I am not at ease." Zhang Fang said.
"But you are the director of the Huaxia Exploration Bureau."
"I am also a ninth-level Life Card Master." Zhang Fang said with unusual determination, "Don’t try to persuade me anymore, unless you can defeat me in a duel."
Wu Ziqin glanced at Zhang Fang and finally sighed.
Why are all these Life Card Masters so stubborn?
"Do you think this kid can win?" Seeing Wu Ziqin no longer insist, Zhang Fang looked at Shen Sui in the arena, then asked with interest.
"It’s hard to say, [Eternal Tower] plus [Spring of Suffering] gives Xiao Fa a very powerful opening strategy, even usual fifth or sixth-level Life Card Masters might find it hard to claim certain victory against Xiao Fa in this state."
"I do think he will win." Zhang Fang said.
Wu Ziqin looked at Zhang Fang with some confusion, then turned to look at Shen Sui in the arena.
At this moment, Xiao Fa had already started summoning the follower cards in his hand one by one.
His follower cards were all the kind that could be specially summoned without any cost, but after being successfully summoned, they inflicted a certain amount of damage to Xiao Fa. However, with the backing of those two permanent spell cards, this negative effect for Xiao Fa, aside from the discomfort from damage, caused virtually no loss, and could even optimize the hand.
Shen Sui, facing Xiao Fa’s such an opening situation, however, seemed very calm.
"That look, is the look of someone who thinks they can win." Zhang Fang said, "When a duelist firmly believes in their victory, their deck will respond to them."
"Hahaha! Activating the effect of [Spring of Suffering]! When I take damage, add the bottommost card of my graveyard to my hand." Xiao Fa shouted excitedly, as if he had already felt the admiring gaze of Yang Ligiang behind him.
The thought of Yang Ligiang witnessing his strength firsthand made him excited, with an unspoken hope.
"Then activate the effect of [Eternal Tower]! Discard a card, and restore Life Value equal to that damage amount."
"See this?! Kid!" Xiao Fa laughed arrogantly, "This is the duel of true power! In front of you! Is an insurmountable wall for your lifetime!"
Five followers, two permanent spell cards.
Xiao Fa felt justified in his arrogance.
"Oh, it looks really impressive." Shen Sui replied dismissively.
"My turn! Draw a card!" He said, drawing a card from his deck.
[Thunder Strike].
When he saw this card, Shen Sui’s pupils constricted.
Oh, man, the guy just struggled to fill up five followers, and you give me a [Thunder Strike], are you trying to make me clear his follower area? That’s not very nice, is it?
Shen Sui felt great about his sudden divine draw.
But he did not intend to use this [Thunder Strike].
Clearing the field so simply, would be too easy on the opponent.
"Looks like you haven’t seen my duel videos." Shen Sui leisurely added [Thunder Strike] to his hand.
"What’s there to see in the duel of someone without a rank." Xiao Fa showed a haughty look.
"A real duelist gives the utmost respect to every duel." Shen Sui pulled out a card from his hand, "When you don’t even try to understand your most basic opponent, how can you talk about real dueling. Seems like you truly don’t understand."
"My turn! Pay 6 Soul Points, activate the spell card [Deceit] from my hand!"
"You draw three cards, then I select a spell card from my deck to add to my hand." Shen Sui opened his deck and obtained a spell card, "The spell card added via this method has its star level reduced to 0."
"Then, pay 5 Soul Points, normally summon [Silver Moon Wolf King Hali] from my hand."
Awoo~!
A cute canine girl roared onto Shen Sui’s field, marking the debut of the canine-girl version of Hali.
"Activate Hali’s effect, which can be activated once per duel when she is normally summoned, choose an equipment spell card from the deck to equip."
"Hmph! Is that all you got?" Xiao Fa looked at Shen Sui’s plays, showing a scornful expression, "If that’s all, you can’t win this duel."
"Not necessarily." Shen Sui pulled out a card from his deck, "I choose equipment spell card [Vivian’s Hairpin]."
"Then pay 5 Soul Points, normally summon [Armed Puppet Soya] from my hand."
"Right at this moment!" Without pause, he opened the graveyard, "Activate the effect of [Deceit] in the graveyard, from the turn it enters the graveyard, during the turn I normally summon a second follower, I can activate it from the graveyard, remove the card from play, and choose one effect to activate."
[Deceit] has two effects that can be activated upon removal.
One is choosing a follower card from your own deck to special summon to your or your opponent’s field.
Two is choosing a spell card from your own deck to activate on your or your opponent’s field.
This time, Shen Sui chose the second effect.
He opened the deck, as card after card flashed before his eyes.
"You’ll thank me for this."
Shen Sui selected a spell card from them.
"Because I will grant you this powerful card!" Shen Sui raised his head, swinging the card in his hand forward, showcasing the spell card he had carefully selected for Xiao Fa.
"I choose to activate on your field! Permanent spell card [Twilight Saintess’s Protection]!"
A mysterious array appeared beneath Xiao Fa’s feet.
[Twilight Saintess’s Protection], must be activated when your follower is attacked or affected by a card effect, renders the attack or effect ineffective, then you take 1000 damage.
"You should thank me." Shen Sui flashed a bright smile at Xiao Fa, genuinely considering Xiao Fa’s benefit, "I’ve patched up the final gap in your deck."
Xiao Fa’s deck was fine in all aspects, except it lacked resistance.
Shen Sui couldn’t stand such flaws, kindly helping Xiao Fa to fill it.
Looking at Shen Sui’s brilliant smile, Xiao Fa suddenly had a bad feeling.
