My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

"An Yang! An Yang! Go! Go!"

At the moment the duel began, a group of people shouted loudly from the stands.

Shen Sui was slightly taken aback and instinctively looked towards An Yang.

As expected, Xinyuan Tanchun was right. This boy named An Yang was already somewhat famous due to his handsome appearance and had a group of very loyal fans.

Moreover, because of his slender appearance, he was more liked by some older girls.

Ah, he is indeed popular.

"My first move." An Yang frowned slightly, completely ignoring the shouts of the girls in the stands, and loudly declared his dominance over this duel.

He drew a card from his hand and said loudly, "At the start of the main phase, I activate from my hand the effect of Follower Card [Phoenix-Riding Beast · White-crowned Finch]. When there are no followers on my field, I can special summon this follower from my hand."

An ordinary-looking finch appeared on An Yang's field.

"Then, when I successfully summon the [Phoenix-Riding Beast] follower, I can activate from my hand the effect of Follower Card [Phoenix-Riding Beast · Little Cuckoo Dove] to special summon it onto the field."

A chestnut brown little bird appeared on An Yang's field.

Bird-type beasts, huh?

Shen Sui didn't know much about the tenth Soul Card World, but it seems that this Phoenix-Riding Beast is all bird-type beasts.

Beast Taming System decks are basically about swarming the field and suppressing the opponent, and then when you draw your key big boss, you use the materials on the field to summon your big boss and settle the duel decisively.

Stable, undisturbed, but when they hold the advantage, it's truly suffocating.

It's very difficult to make such a deck not boring to play.

When two decks with the same routine meet, the scene becomes very "Shakespearean", with both sides following a predetermined template and developing independently, and many Beast Taming Life Card Masters wouldn't attack randomly due to fear of the opponent's attack announcement pit.

"He's switched to another setup method." In the stands, Wang Ming laughed and said to the man beside him.

The man had handsome looks with a faint aura similar to An Yang on the field.

He was none other than An Yang's elder brother, Huaxia's strongest Beast Taming Life Card Master, An Hai.

An Hai looked at his brother who was dueling below and showed a disdainful expression: "Clearly a Beast Taming Life Card Master, yet hasn't even explored the most stable standard opening for his deck. If he only has this level of skill, he actually dares to think of surpassing me, it's hopeless."

"If that's how you evaluate your brother, why did you specially come to watch his match?" Wang Ming asked.

An Hai folded his arms and coldly said, "The ticket allows viewing all the day's duels. Wouldn't it be a waste not to watch? That self-deluded fellow appeared in front of me voluntarily."

"Yes, yes, yes." Wang Ming nodded repeatedly.

"Enough about that, time to handle serious business." An Hai looked at Wang Ming and said, "Since Modu's Exploration Bureau invited me to help capture people from the Suffering Poetry Society, they should've also prepared ample rewards."

"Rewards, huh." Wang Ming said, "What do you want?"

An Hai's eyes sparkled sharply: "I want the information on the holder of [Fairy Rose · Ji Yue]."

"This..."

"I've never forced the Exploration Bureau." An Hai said, "So even though I know this Follower Card is in the Exploration Bureau's card library, I've never asked for it, because my grandmother said this card cannot be held by the An family's descendants. But just because I can't own it, doesn't mean anyone can. I will use my way to test if the holder is qualified to be the new master of Fairy Rose."

"And if they don't pass your test?" Wang Ming looked toward Shen Sui in the field.

An Hai said coldly, "I'll take her back and find a more suitable inheritor."

Wang Ming laughed heartily, "Once you've completed the Exploration Bureau's mission, you'll know the answer you seek. After all, this card was originally donated by Old Mrs. An. It wouldn't make sense not to tell the An family its whereabouts."

He paused, eyes shifting with interest, and asked, "Do you think your brother will win this duel?"

"He may be foolish, but his deck construction isn't weak. Once he summons his trump card, [Phoenix-Riding Beast · Cyan Jade Kite], winning the duel shouldn't be difficult." An Hai judged.

"Having just this one card as a trump card, isn't it too risky? What if the opponent cancels it?"

"Don't underestimate Beast Taming Life Card Masters. In the Soul Card World, Beast Tamers also consider various possible scenarios." An Hai said, "For this guy, even if a follower gets cancelled, there're Spell Cards [Naraku's Nest] and [Call of the Chick] that can retrieve that card from the graveyard or exclusion zone."

"Seems you do understand your foolish brother's deck quite well?"

An Hai glanced coldly at Wang Ming.

Meanwhile, in the field, Shen Sui watched the opponent's setup and began recalling Xinyuan Tanchun's information.

According to Xinyuan Tanchun, An Yang's deck's absolute big boss should be that [Phoenix-Riding Beast · Cyan Jade Kite].

******

Card Name: [Phoenix-Riding Beast · Cyan Jade Kite]

Type: Follower Card

Star Level: 13 stars

Effect: This follower can only be summoned through a normal summon, during the turn this follower appears, your opponent cannot activate card effects within the Magic Area.

① When this follower is successfully summoned, it can activate, destroying all other followers on both sides of the field;

② The Spirit Value of this follower increases by 500 for each [Phoenix-Riding Beast] follower in the graveyard.

Spirit Value: 3800

******

Just by hearing the effect, Shen Sui knew that this is an extremely powerful Slayer Card to end a duel, with a formidable counterattack effect at critical times.

As Shen Sui pondered how to deal with this trump card, An Yang's turn continued.

He summoned two followers but hadn't consumed any Soul Points. His turn was still far from over.

"Then." An Yang glanced at his hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "Pay 2 Soul Points to normally summon from my hand, [Phoenix-Riding Beast · Blue Feathered Ring-necked Pigeon]."

A pretty blue pigeon cooed merrily as it hopped onto An Yang's field.

It looked a bit like those wild pigeons, except its feathers turned blue.

Hmm, it looked like a very wise color.

"Activate the effect of Blue Feathered Ring-necked Pigeon." An Yang said, "When it is successfully normally summoned or special summoned, you can activate its effect to send the top three cards of my deck to the graveyard and then special summon a random [Phoenix-Riding Beast] from the deck to my field."

"The follower special summoned this way will be sent to the graveyard at the end of the turn."

The Blue Feathered Pigeon cooed happily.

Then, the top three cards of An Yang's deck were flipped and sent to the graveyard.

These three cards were:

[Phoenix-Riding Beast · Cyan Jade Kite], [Naraku's Nest], [Call of the Chick].
