My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

What can I say, the restrictions are quite big.

But as long as you can summon it, it's extremely powerful.

However, when Shen Sui was planning to acquire the card of the Broken Boundary Empress, the dueling device popped up another alert.

[Ding! Due to the low tier of your Soul Card, you cannot extract this Follower Card. Please raise your Soul Card Tier.]

?????

No! Isn't my current Soul Card Tier enough?

Qishala and Freymia are both tier fourteen powerhouses!

Could this acquisition restriction be referring to Alice alone?

Unconvinced, Shen Sui looked up the official rules for Life Card Duel.

Finally, in a very discreet corner, he found the restriction details on obtaining Life Cards.

[Life Cards that are more than 5 stars above the Soul Card Tier cannot be acquired. You must raise your Soul Card Tier.]

[If a conflict arises, the alert from the dueling device shall prevail.]

[Here, the Soul Card only refers to the initial Soul Card.]

"..."

Shen Sui fell into a brief silence.

Can't acquire...

Such a powerful card is right in front of me, but I can't obtain it...

Damn it!

Shen Sui angrily activated the dueling device.

Alice!

You're not strong enough!

Spur on!

We must spur on strongly!

How can forty-eight hours of training a day be enough!

No, Alice's upgrade seems unrelated to training, but more related to the degree of mischief...

Alice! Let's start a war!

Let all the gods of Dawn Continent feel the fear of Twilight!

Shen Sui took a deep breath, finally forcibly suppressing the urge to incite Alice to create chaos.

Stay calm, don't panic.

It's just a powerful card that can't be extracted, not a big deal. With Alice's current trend, slowly advancing to tier ten is not difficult.

There's still a match tonight, Shen Sui can't let his mood get too agitated, he must calm down.

"Let's go, Shen Sui."

As the time approached evening, Xinyuan Tanchun timely knocked on Shen Sui's door.

"Where's your sister? Did she go back?" Shen Sui curiously asked, as he saw the topic of Xinyuan Yingxue returning to Jing City trending online.

Although he was puzzled why Xinyuan Yingxue, who's not a major figure, at best a little idol, her itinerary would appear on trending.

Xinyuan Tanchun, a bit annoyed, pursed her lips and said: "That woman is afraid I'll lead Xue astray, so she summoned Xue back overnight."

Shen Sui shrugged his shoulders, didn't say much.

At night, Modu Gymnasium was brightly lit.

For fans of duels, Modu Duel Tournament is simply an unmissable duel feast.

The tournament's tickets basically allow viewing of all duels happening that evening, much more considerate compared to other professional competitions.

Additionally, the quality of the tournament is not low, sometimes celebrity contestants even appear in droves.

Of course, this isn't because the organizers are particularly considerate, but simply because the Modu official is exerting pressure. The official plans to make the duel tournament the hallmark of Modu, naturally thinking of every means to raise the competition's prominence.

When Shen Sui and Xinyuan Tanchun arrived at the venue, the first match had just started.

"What are you going to do?" Xinyuan Tanchun asked curiously as she saw Shen Sui walking towards the big screen in the distance, which was displaying the upcoming match schedule of Modu Duel Tournament.

"I'm going to check out my upcoming opponents." Shen Sui said.

Xinyuan Tanchun laughed, "You're really confident. The duel hasn't even started yet, and you think you've surely won the match? Already popping champagne, researching the next round's opponent?"

Shen Sui glanced at Xinyuan Tanchun and said, "No... I'm going to check whom I'll face in this round."

"???" Xinyuan Tanchun was stumped, unable to believe she stared at Shen Sui, "You are about to enter the arena and still don't know who your opponent is?"

The tournament's main rounds are already knockout phases with halves and schedules assigned, usually, the opponent for the next round is quite definite.

Shen Sui coughed twice, he couldn't possibly say he was fully invested in the card printing business lately, without any attention to real-world matches?

"You're really... ridiculous." Xinyuan Tanchun held her forehead and shook her head in headache, saying, "Forget it, forget it, you're my student after all."

Thus, Xinyuan Tanchun started to explain the details of Shen Sui's opponents meticulously.

This round, both Shen Sui and Xinyuan Tanchun's matches were arranged toward the end, giving Xinyuan Tanchun enough time to brief Shen Sui on his opponent's details.

Shen Sui's opponent, named An Yang, a tier six Life Card Master from the An Family.

The An Family is considered one of the dueling families, but they differ from other dueling families, not very active in professional arenas, more cooperating with the Soul Card Exploration Bureau, and for some reason, has a remarkably good relationship with the official.

An Yang is one of the few Life Card Masters in the An Family active in professional fields.

Of course, the most famous professional contestant from the An Family should be An Hai.

"World No. 10?" Shen Sui was startled, this world seemed somewhat familiar.

He suddenly remembered that a Follower Card in his card set comes from World No. 10.

[Fairy Rose Ji Yue], one of the rewards Shen Sui got from the Exploration Bureau's card library, a fifteen-star Follower Card.

I remember, the donor of this Follower Card is named An Run'en...

An Family?

Ah... is the world this small?

"What are you thinking?" Seeing Shen Sui lost in thought, Xinyuan Tanchun asked curiously.

"Ah, nothing, just somehow seems I have some connection with the An Family." Shen Sui said.

"You having connections with the An Family?" Instantly, countless scenes flooded into Xinyuan Tanchun's mind.

I knew it! Shen Sui, this guy, being so strong, how could he purely be from a civilian background! Just like in most TV novels, characters seemingly poor on the surface always end up being illegitimate children of some big family.

"Don't jump to conclusions." Seeing Xinyuan Tanchun in such a state, Shen Sui knew her thoughts were off track, interrupting, "Continue."

Even though Shen Sui knew his opponent might be a descendant of An Run'en, he felt emotional but didn't plan to go easy on the opponent during the duel.

If you want to win the duel from me, then you'll have to fight for it with your strength.

Xinyuan Tanchun promptly continued to introduce An Yang's style.

The Life Card Master from the Beast Taming World, different from other Soul Card Worlds, they're often a Beast Taming Master in the Soul Card World, and their initial Soul Card tends to be their initial beast.

Due to the special nature of the Soul Card World, it makes the Follower Cards of this type of Life Card Master easier to brush compared to other Soul Card Worlds, thus significantly increasing their win rate over other Life Card Masters.

Xinyuan Tanchun, familiar with details about An Yang's card set construction, duel style, and key cards, narrated it to Shen Sui like a cherished story:

"You know An Yang so well? Is he an enemy or are you mutual nemeses?"

Xinyuan Tanchun shook her head, "No, I just made plenty of preparations for this match."

"I collect the most detailed information on anyone who might become my opponent."

"So, do you have mine?" Shen Sui curiously asked.

"Of course I do." Xinyuan Tanchun replied frankly, not lying.
