Chapter 117: Chapter 116: Real-Life Women Are Such Trouble
Modu Duel Training Hall.
The public relations of the Exploration Bureau was well done; amidst the various scandals of the Life Card Association being exposed, no one paid attention to the major event at the Modu Duel Training Hall that could impact the entire real world.
On Shen Sui’s way out from the Tianyi Academy dormitory, all he could see were news about Xu Tianzhi.
After all, a local player achieved such outstanding results, and the Tianyi Club had spent a significant amount of money on various promotions.
Congratulations to Xu Tianzhi for winning the Light of Light Duel Invitation Tournament were hung in every corner of the academy.
On the way, passengers next to Shen Sui were enthusiastically discussing Xu Tianzhi’s championship win.
At this moment, if Shen Sui could read the room a bit, he would probably think, would it be not quite right to defeat Xu Tianzhi at such a time?
Unfortunately, Shen Sui never had a personality to consider personal feelings during a duel.
Duel is a zero-sum game.
Unless forced draws occur due to the effects of special cards, generally, there must be a winner and a loser.
Shen Sui doesn’t want to be the loser, so he can only trouble his opponent to play the role of the loser.
Let alone Xu Tianzhi is just a champion of a B-class tournament; even if a world champion stood in front of Shen Sui, he wouldn’t consider whether it’s inappropriate to win against him.
Damn it, I’m here to beat the champion.
With this thought, Shen Sui stepped into the Duel Training Hall.
The Ranking Tournament only has post-game videos, no live broadcasts.
But it doesn’t stop audiences from coming to watch the duel live.
"Shen Sui! Go for it!"
Shen Sui was somewhat surprised to hear someone cheering for him and looked over curiously.
Tang Lili was waving her hand energetically, trying to get Shen Sui to see her. Unfortunately, her height only allowed her hand to show above the crowd. If it weren’t for Shen Sui’s sharp perception thanks to his strength enhancement, he might have thought someone was cheering for him from the void.
"You actually came to cheer for me." Shen Sui said somewhat surprised, looking at Tang Lili, who had regained her energy.
"Of course!" Tang Lili tilted her head proudly, not sure if she was being proud or because she had to tilt her head to see Shen Sui’s face, "My card is still in your hand, I need to constantly remind myself to become stronger and take back my card from you!"
"The way you say it, it’s like I snatched your card." Shen Sui couldn’t help but tease.
"Hehe, actually, I’m here for my third professional credential duel today." Tang Lili said embarrassingly, revealing the truth, "When I saw you, I guessed you might be here for your last Ranking Tournament, so I came to take a look."
"Third match? Did you lose the second one too?" In professional credential duels, you get three chances—just winning once will suffice.
Tang Lili pouted dissatisfiedly: "That instructor said my deck is too sentimental, not suitable for the professional arena!"
Shen Sui chuckled.
The recognition of a professional Life Card Master, since when did it have to be measured by competitiveness?
Really, it’s deserved that those Life Card Association guys got caught.
"Wow wow wow! It’s Xu Tianzhi!" Tang Lili suddenly looked over Shen Sui’s shoulder and excitedly shouted.
The customers in the Duel Training Hall also became excited. When they heard Xu Tianzhi had arrived, they put down their deeds and ran to the entrance to watch.
Some remained indifferent and continued their duels.
Of course, some seized the opportunity to occupy the field and started a duel; it’s fair to say no matter the world, there are such pure card enthusiasts.
"I didn’t expect Xu Tianzhi to come to the Duel Training Hall today." Tang Lili said with sparkling eyes.
"Is he very famous now?" Shen Sui was also curious about the surrounding reactions; this level response was almost like a world champion arriving.
"You don’t get it," Tang Lili said, "it’s been a long time since someone from Modu won a championship of such high caliber. This is the Light of Light Duel Invitation Tournament; if not that A-class tournament counts were capped, it would have been an A-class by now."
Alright, Shen Sui could understand then.
"I wonder if I can get Xu Tianzhi’s autograph today." Tang Lili looked for a gap where she could slip through, which wasn’t difficult for her.
Shen Sui gave Tang Lili a glance, kindly reminding her, "You better hurry, or he might not be in the mood to sign for you later."
"Huh? Why?"
"If I’m not wrong...," Shen Sui looked over at Xu Tianzhi, who also spotted him and smiled slightly, stepping towards Shen Sui, "my opponent today is him."
"Huh? Huh?? Huh?!!" It’s quite impressive that Tang Lili could express three different emotions with the same sound.
"You and him?"
Shen Sui nodded.
"Ranking Tournament?"
"Hmm."
"Are you going to the fifth stage?" Tang Lili’s eyes widened, "Whoa! You broke through the Ranking Tournament?"
Reaching straight to the fifth stage in the Ranking Tournament is an achievement unimaginable to Tang Lili.
"Barring any surprises, yes."
"Damn it!" Tang Lili clutched her teeth, frowning tightly.
"Did I offend you?" Shen Sui said speechlessly, "You’re so unhappy about me moving to the fifth stage."
Tang Lili shook her head and said, "I’m just worried I can’t get my card back."
"You said you’d win it back in the duel," Shen Sui crossed his arms, "Hehe, don’t come crying later if you don’t even qualify to show up before me~!"
"Bastard! Bastard! Don’t underestimate me!" Tang Lili jumped up, trying to slap Shen Sui’s chin with her hand out of annoyance.
"Also, you won’t beat Xu Tianzhi." Tang Lili stubbornly said, "As long as you can’t beat Xu Tianzhi, you can only participate in C-class matches, and then I’ll have a chance to intercept you."
Shen Sui rolled his eyes, seeing the referee was already in place, and stopped chitchatting with Tang Lili, waving goodbye: "No more banter, good luck with your credential match, I’m off to duel."
"Then good luck." Tang Lili waved farewell to Shen Sui. She didn’t want to see Xu Tianzhi make a mistake but wasn’t keen on seeing her friend lose the critical Ranking Tournament.
"Ho, you’re not afraid you won’t win back your card after I reach the fifth stage?"
Tang Lili waved her small fist, saying, "An idol will definitely stand on the most dazzling stage! Becoming a professional is just a small goal for me! Mere fifth stage, I’ll walk past it sooner or later!"
Shen Sui chuckled; it’s perhaps this aspect of Tang Lili that aroused his interest to exchange a few words with her.
Then, Shen Sui heard Tang Lili continuously screaming at Xu Tianzhi.
Ah....
Real women, indeed so troublesome.
Suddenly Shen Sui felt the card girls are still the best.
Wonder where Qishala is.
The thought of Qishala’s destined shy scenes suddenly made Shen Sui eager again.
If Claude’s power can cross over.
Could my consciousness cross over?
Qishala’s shy scenes, it’s really a pity to only watch text broadcasts.
