Chapter 173: I, An Yang, Will Become the Strongest Beast Taming Master!
After all, it's the second round of the main tournament, so the density of matches in the top 32 is much looser.
After Xinyuan Tanchun talked to Shen Sui about An Yang's data, there were still about three to four matches before Shen Sui's next match.
Contestants had free entry, but there were no dedicated seats unless audiences that purchased tickets left their seats.
The audience stands were still packed for tonight's match; Shen Sui and Xinyuan Tanchun didn't find a place to sit.
But neither of them cared, so they simply stood by the aisle railing to watch the matches below.
The Modu Stadium was incredibly huge; the two contestants standing on the field looked so tiny. Yesterday, Shen Sui was on Dawn Continent, controlling his duel with words, so he didn't have a direct perception of the size of the venue.
But being there in person today left Shen Sui very amazed.
He had seen big scenes before.
The overwhelming Boundary-breaking Worms, it's likely people in this world may never witness them.
Yet, even so, he still felt a surge of excitement about dueling in such a venue.
When the contestants stood on the dueling field, the tens of thousands of spectators around looked as small as ants.
With the support of a brand-new dueling device, the followers of the contestants would be vividly displayed in front of every audience member.
Moreover, because of the vast venue space, many giant followers that couldn't fully display their forms before could now freely unfold their bodies in the whole stadium.
"It seems you and Xu Tianzhi really have a connection," Xinyuan Tanchun pointed at the match below, laughing as he spoke to Shen Sui.
In the arena, Xu Tianzhi was the one competing.
At this moment, Xu Tianzhi was full of confidence, smiling as he watched the opponent in distress.
His opponent was a six-star Life Card Master, but had no power to fight back in front of Xu Tianzhi.
In an environment where everyone was busy establishing field dominance, Xu Tianzhi was considered among the top.
Unless it's an Underworld deck like Shen Sui's, Xu Tianzhi handled it with ease.
Faced with him in a field-establishment battle? Sorry, in front of the Mechanical Tyrant, no Life Card Master at the same level can outshine Xu Tianzhi.
"It's so intense..." Shen Sui watched the duel.
Clearly, only three rounds had passed, but both decks were nearly exhausted, showing the intensity of the showdown.
Using followers' numbers to fight?
That's the least wise tactic against Xu Tianzhi.
Shen Sui murmured to himself.
"Oh my." Xinyuan Tanchun looked at Xu Tianzhi, who was effortlessly navigating the field, and was very surprised, turning his gaze to Shen Sui, "How on earth did you win?"
"With sheer strength," Shen Sui tilted his head up and said.
Xinyuan Tanchun immediately showed a disdainful expression, but she couldn't argue back because Shen Sui really did defeat Xu Tianzhi.
Life Card Duel speaks through strength.
Whether it's relying on luck or version, winning is winning, and the champion is the champion.
No matter how much you argue, claiming how strong you really are, just blaming bad luck or style restraint, losing is losing, and an opponent's simple "What champion are you?" could choke you.
"You know, we seem to be in the same half," Xinyuan Tanchun suddenly said.
"Oh? Are you already intimidated, my coach lady?" Shen Sui crossed his arms, smiling as he looked at Xinyuan Tanchun.
Xinyuan Tanchun glanced at the championship trophy displayed prominently and gave a faint smile, "I'm really looking forward to having a formal duel with you. This venue is excellent, I hope you won't fall before then."
She had specifically calculated the schedule before, and if both of them progressed smoothly, she would meet Shen Sui in the semi-finals.
That was quite a high position.
She had never imagined before that she would one day make it to the top four of a Class B match.
But having never achieved it doesn't mean Xinyuan Tanchun wouldn't try.
A duelist is never afraid of any challenge.
Moreover, she's already boasted about it; she would give everything to achieve this goal...
No!
Why should making it to the top four be satisfactory?
The purpose of competing has always been the championship!
Intense fighting spirit erupted in Xinyuan Tanchun's eyes.
Shen Sui smiled at Xinyuan Tanchun.
It seems that his coach's mindset has changed.
Originally, Shen Sui didn't quite like her attitude towards the competition, but because of their relationship, he never voiced it.
The mentality of just coming to check in and getting satisfied with gaining points was not the right attitude to have when facing competition.
This is better.
This is worth defeating.
Shen Sui grabbed the railing in front of him and laughed heartily, "Well, that will depend on your level. I'm looking forward to dueling you."
He was also curious about what kind of effect the Soul Card Isabella had.
"I lost."
At that moment, Xu Tianzhi had already easily defeated his opponent. He spread his arms wide, thanking the fans for their cheers.
Shen Sui?
Xu Tianzhi suddenly spotted Shen Sui in the audience.
His eyes lit up, and he slightly bowed in Shen Sui's direction, expressing his salutation.
Although not in the same half, he still hoped to meet on the professional stage.
Xu Tianzhi thought to himself.
A duel competition generally didn't last very long, so the organizers often inserted shows popular with the public between two duels, usually having pretty girls sing and dance, as a way of letting the audience get their money's worth.
Hence, a type of idol group specially performing between duels has emerged among Huaxia's celebrities, referred to as interval idols by people.
The interval idols invited to the Modu Duel Tournament are famous for being part of the competition, each one a cute girl and very dedicated, with singing and dancing levels belonging to the middle-high standard. Although not comparable to professional star musicians, definitely not perfunctory.
All the interval performances are live, which really tests the performers' skills.
Shen Sui didn't wait too long before it was his turn to compete.
A young man walked into the arena from the other direction.
The referee checked both parties' dueling device and decks, indicating no issues, so they could start preparing for the duel.
During this process, the contestants could communicate.
If it's players using surrounding decks, this time is generally used for shuffling for the opponent – then, because they shuffled with card techniques, they might get badly beaten.
"Hello." An Yang knew Shen Sui's name, but showed no worry.
With his elder brother An Hai as his target to catch up, he wouldn't fear any opponent standing in his way.
"I'm An Yang, pleased to meet you." An Yang smiled at Shen Sui, "I've researched your deck and duels, hoping today will be an enjoyable duel."
Not fearing, but never underestimating.
An Yang wanted to advance step by step, improving all the way.
Until he stood before his brother, using a duel to prove:
I, An Yang, will become the strongest Beast Taming Master!
"Duel! Begin!" The referee issued the command to start.
Both dueling devices lit up instantly.
