At the moment he saw this card, all Shen Sui's gripes about Alice inexplicably mastering Storm Magic disappeared.

Great!

That previous final told me that I still have too few hand traps.

However, the effect of this card is not Shen Sui's target this time.

This time, he wanted to find cards that could achieve final victory in a chain tug-of-war with the opponent.

For instance, in that duel with Yang Liguang, if he had a similar card to stop Yang Liguang's repairman, he would have secured the final victory in that chain, and Alice's effect could have destroyed the Purple Demoness, and he wouldn't be so disadvantaged later.

Shen Sui's deck did have such cards, but most of them were Spell Cards, and they didn't have the Rapid Attack Magic effect.

A Life Card Duel doesn't have the effect of Rapid Attack Magic.

If it's not stated in the Spell Card effect that the card can be activated from the hand, then these effects to negate other effects generally need to be set and then activated.

Therefore, to give Shen Sui the upper hand in such chains of counters, he needs either Rapid Attack Magic Spell Cards or hand trap Follower Cards.

Although these two types of cards are not as rare as Event Cards and Environment Cards, they are still very hard to obtain.

Shen Sui might be able to use his modification ability to give some cards a spell speed effect, but the premise is that he must find a card with a high enough star level cap and a similar effect.

Alice, you have to work hard.

Shen Sui thought to himself.

He came this time because he wanted Qishala to open the Trial of the Dragon specially prepared for Alice.

This was originally a trial prepared for Alice to improve her strength, and for this, Qishala specially selected a heritage most suitable for Alice.

The Trial of the Dragon is a way for dragons to gain Ancient Dragon Race legacy.

Under normal circumstances, the Trial of the Dragon is only open to the Dragon Race.

However, historically there have been many strong individuals from other races who have gained this honor.

However, those from other races who can truly pass the Trial of the Dragon are extremely rare, because the Ancient Dragon Race left the legacy to benefit their descendants, not to strengthen other races unless they are truly exceptionally talented, otherwise, they generally won't be recognized.

Even though Qishala is the Star Abyss White Dragon with special significance in the Dragon Race and the current queen, she still cannot influence the thoughts of those Ancient Giant Dragons in the Trial of the Dragon.

Therefore, she cannot guarantee that Alice can truly obtain a legacy from the Trial of the Dragon.

But, even if she can't obtain a legacy, a Trial of the Dragon can bring other benefits, and they are usually very generous; otherwise, the Dragon Race would be embarrassed to regard this as an honor to grant to strong individuals from other races.

[Alice's barbecue party was a huge success.]

[The dragons greatly enjoyed this lavish grilled squid feast.]

[Alice used Barbecue Technique on the dragons.]

[Alice gained the dragons' favor, and her requests for help won't be refused by them.]

[Ding! You obtained a Spell Card: Dragon Race's Friendship.]

[Ding! You obtained a Permanent Spell Card: Barbecue Party]

Shen Sui quickly checked these two cards.

One is a Spell Card targeting dragons, and the other is a Permanent Spell Card for tentacle face cards.

Damn it!

Alice, can't your barbecue have nothing to do with Minotaurs?

I like it.

But it's not the card I wanted this time.

Shen Sui quickly moved on, urging Alice to undergo the Trial of the Dragon in the Dueling Device.

["Trial of the Dragon, huh." Alice hesitated a bit, "Will it be dangerous?"]

You've done more dangerous things countless times; the Trial of the Dragon is nothing compared to that, no?

Shen Sui rolled his eyes.

He typed in words to comfort Alice:

["The Trial of the Dragon usually can only be entered solo." This means Anna can't join in to help Alice, "But I am a special existence, the Trial of the Dragon can't block me, so I will protect you then."]

["Has your soul recovered, Claude?" Alice was very happy, her eyes shining brightly.]

Shen Sui touched his chest, feeling a sense of guilt for deceiving an innocent young girl.

Alice cares so much about me, I always deceive her, isn't that bad?

["If the soul is recovered." Alice blinked, "Why don't I make a puppet for you, you can attach to it, although you can't do any real work, it might comfort Miss Qishala...."]

Give me back my guilt!

Shen Sui seethed with anger.

What do you mean by can't do any real work!

I've experienced proof, okay!

Thank you so much, Alice, for successfully turning me into a machine that can deceive you with peace of mind.

[You began telling Alice about the objective of this Trial of the Dragon.]

[The Trial of the Dragon Qishala prepared for Alice is from an ancient Molten Giant Dragon.]

[As one of the more powerful branches of the Fire Giant Dragons, although extinct in historical settings, the strongest of the Molten Giant Dragons retained the legacy, waiting for a proper Fire Giant Dragon to accept her legacy.]

Molten Giant Dragon, just hearing the name carries a sense of bringing joy to others.

This name would be very apt to grant a powerful monster to an opponent.

As a human, Shen Sui didn't expect Alice to gain a dragon's legacy, so the goal of this Trial of the Dragon was some special scenarios inside it.

First was to see if they could obtain an Environment Card.

Shen Sui already had many Event Cards, and they indeed proved sometimes to have magical effects, so he wanted to see what Environment Cards would be like.

Then there was a very special elemental fairy existing in the environment where the Molten Giant Dragon resided.

They had the special ability to devour magic cast by mages.

This ability naturally made Shen Sui think of the potential to nullify the opponent's card effects.

This time, Shen Sui aimed precisely for such cards and definitely couldn't miss out.

[Alice listened to your words very earnestly.]

[Nodding constantly, indicating that she would follow your arrangement.]

[Although she seems to have never truly followed your arrangements, please rest assured, Alice didn't intend for it to be so.]

[Your attitude made Alice realize the significance of this Trial of the Dragon to you.]

[It seems that you care a lot about this.]

[Alice decided to work hard, not to let you down.]

["Would you like some?" Alice raised the grilled squid in her hand and asked, "Grilled squid."]

Shen Sui was very touched but remembered that he seemed to be in soul form and couldn't eat.

["I can't eat in this state."]

["Oh right!" Alice suddenly understood, and then a fireball appeared in her hand.]

["Then I'll burn it for you."]

Alice!!!

I shouldn't have felt moved by you at all!
