My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

Shen Sui perfectly completed the first day's schedule.

So perfect that it even exceeded You Wenqi's expectations.

He wasn't even forced to reveal anything new.

Although You Wenqi thought that Shen Sui's fee-reduction play style used against Tan Song was enough to dominate the entire Duel Academy's national competition, he never expected Shen Sui to win so effortlessly.

This meant that his card set was already refined to such an extent that no matter what cards he started with, he could seamlessly begin his duel.

What a terrifying guy.

The key is, many of this guy's outrageous cards are Soul Cards, and they won't appear on the Forbidden Card List.

You Wenqi was very certain that just the card [Star Abyss White Dragon, Qishala] alone might not be surpassed even by world-class Life Card Masters.

You Wenqi, having watched Shen Sui duel Tan Song, knew that Shen Sui's slayer card actually had a very simple free summoning method through Form Transformation.

This simple summoning method, one-turn resistance, ignoring any effect's enhancement of Spirit Value combat damage calculation, powerful multi-strike ability, in short, ahhhhh!

What kind of card is this!

You Wenqi had already begun to imagine the scene of Shen Sui in the world championship.

This kid will shock the whole world sooner or later.

His opponent in the quarter-finals was An Yang from Lingnan University.

Shen Sui had faced An Yang before, and although You Wenqi was optimistic about the outcome of the duel, he was very serious about organizing intelligence on An Yang.

He even turned An Yang's known Life Cards into training cards for Shen Sui to practice with.

"If he doesn't use new cards in the duel, you're likely to win this match," You Wenqi said, looking at the scoreboard beside him.

Out of five practice matches, Shen Sui won all five.

The only suspense was probably in which round Shen Sui would claim victory.

"However, he's probably going to use a new card," You Wenqi smiled at Shen Sui and said, "An Hai will definitely help him. An Hai cares a lot about his brother."

Shen Sui was a bit surprised, "Huh? Really?"

He couldn't tell at all, even though he had many interactions with An Hai, he had hardly mentioned his brother.

"That guy is very proud; he won't easily show his emotions," You Wenqi chuckled, knowing An Hai well as an old rival.

An Hai is genuinely a card-playing machine.

His passion for Life Card Duels surpasses everything else in the world.

But if there's something more important to him than dueling, it might be his brother.

An Hai naturally hopes An Yang can advance further in the national competition.

But he wouldn't actively help An Yang.

The only thing he might do is feed some cards to An Yang in the Soul Card World. As for the quality of the cards, that depends on An Yang's destiny.

"Feeding cards?" Shen Sui pondered.

"Yes," You Wenqi said, "but with An Hai's character, he probably wouldn't give An Yang powerful Follower Cards. Instead, he might deliberately create some incidents in the Soul Card World to force An Yang to make choices, resulting in the birth of some Life Cards during the decision process."

Beast Taming Card Set, while the main part consists of Follower Cards, having powerful Spell Cards can also be a great enhancement.

With You Wenqi's explanation, Shen Sui started looking forward to tomorrow's match.

After the day after tomorrow, the so-called City Duel Tournament will start, perfectly filling the gap after the national tournament's semi-finals.

"Whoa! Big news!"

While Shen Sui and You Wenqi were discussing tomorrow's match, a member of the lounging analysis team suddenly shouted excitedly.

"Everyone look, big news!"

Everyone hurriedly took out their phones.

Big news?

Shen Sui opened his phone with a hint of curiosity.

And immediately saw the trending news flash.

[An unidentified marine giant beast attacked a coastal city in America.]

???

Shen Sui suddenly had a bad feeling.

The trending news included some high-definition videos.

Shen Sui clicked the video and saw a familiar figure.

Our Master of the Deep Sea, swinging its tentacles, knocked down an armed helicopter in the air, and at the edge of the screen, Shen Sui vaguely saw a giant human figure.

But the next moment, a debunking video appeared.

Those bloggers confidently claimed that it was just Hollywood special effects, maliciously edited by some hostile netizens to spread rumors, even starting frame-by-frame analysis.

"Don't believe it? Check it out beyond the wall; there's no such thing!" the blogger said with certainty.

The trending news showed no sign of stopping.

Without a moment of mourning for the debunked giant beast attack, the next big event was a chemical train derailment explosion.

"Why another derailment?" You Wenqi couldn't help but comment on the news, "I'd rather believe in a beast invasion."

Shen Sui wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Special effects, huh.

Can you perfectly replicate the Master of the Deep Sea with special effects?

This big squid still has that distinctive mark burned by Alice on its head.

That's a very identifying feature, not something special effects can mimic.

Freymia, how did you end up walking the giant squid to that place?

Shen Sui internally complained, deciding to give a good reprimand to the mischievous Elf Empress once he got home.

However, Shen Sui didn't think Freymia was the kind who liked to cause trouble.

Although she has a unique way of thinking, she usually follows Shen Sui's instructions and is unlikely to intentionally create chaos.

Thinking about the mysterious giant at the edge of the lens, Shen Sui suspected Freymia must have encountered something.

He immediately decided to contact Freymia.

Shen Sui opened the Dueling Device.

[Freymia was very angry.]

[She had just accidentally entered their monster-breeding ground, only to be mindlessly attacked by them.]

[Would Freymia tolerate this? She immediately launched a counterattack.]

[Under Freymia's command, the Master of the Deep Sea raised a monstrous wave, directly destroying their underwater fortress.]

[Numerous growing monsters were effortlessly obliterated.]

[Ding! You have acquired a Spell Card: Sea Beast Attack]

[Freymia wasn't worried about being reprimanded by Shen Sui.]

[Because she had a very valid reason: she was cleaning the sea for Martina.]

[Ding! You have acquired a Spell Card: Undersea Cleaning]

....

Shen Sui looked at Freymia's status, lost in thought.

An underwater monster paradise?

Who's breeding them?

What are they planning to do?

Shen Sui was worried those people would entangle Freymia, and quickly inquired about her current situation.

Freymia soon replied.

She was having a blast.

Those guys were clearly angry, yet couldn't kill her.

She loved their expressions and conveniently destroyed their monster gene factory.

"Hehehe! You'll thank me! Shen Sui!" Freymia exclaimed excitedly, "These guys definitely want to destroy the world!"

"Hurry back!" Shen Sui said speechlessly, "I'm afraid if this goes on, you'll be the one to destroy the world."

"Uh." Freymia obediently chose to return.

That night, Shen Sui met Freymia at the hotel.

She seemed very happy, evidently having enjoyed her outing this time.

Qishala, who knew what Freymia had done on her outing, mumbled quietly seeing Freymia like this: "If I didn't know better, I'd think Alice was this guy's illegitimate daughter."

The same blonde hair, the same beauty, combined with such ability to stir up trouble.

"So what exactly were those giant sea beasts?" Shen Sui asked.

Freymia pursed her lips, feeling a bit embarrassed, and said: "I forgot to ask. But they seemed like hybrid species, I sensed various different powers in them, powers from entirely different worlds."

"Genes from multiple Soul Card Worlds, fused to create monsters," Shen Sui muttered.

This kind of capability isn't something a small organization can accomplish.

But why are they creating such a monster paradise?

How many similar things exist in this world?

Meanwhile, at the Huaxia Exploration Bureau.

Zhang Fang sat in a chair, looking at the report in his hand.

"So, this really isn't special effects?"

"Yes." His subordinate confirmed, "Our counterparts across the shore have sent a request for assistance, hoping we also send people to monitor the attackers' movements."

"Quite interesting." Zhang Fang sneered, "Because this world can't replicate extraordinary power, they intend to create purely biological giant creatures. Clearly international law bans such biological experiments, yet they condemn others while secretly conducting them, only remembering to ask us for assistance when their monster-producing base is destroyed? But they're really clever, no wonder investigating doesn't yield evidence, turns out the factory is undersea?"

Zhang Fang took out a map and cursed: "Damn, isn't this the place they claimed to protect marine life and banned our fishing boats from entering?"

The subordinate kept his head down, quietly listening to Zhang Fang's cursing.

"In Coastal City, there's quite a commotion." Zhang Fang leaned back in his chair, "These folks, hundreds of years now, still using the same tricks? City Duel Tournament?"

"They've grouped together over there." The subordinate reminded softly, "There's pressure from above, it's tough to intervene."

"Tough to intervene means we don't intervene?" Zhang Fang glared at his subordinate, "Let Coastal City's people be exposed to the power of a dominator from World No. 8?"

Zhang Fang rubbed his head, waved his hand and said: "Find a reason to cut off transportation to Coastal City, no more people going in, then have the armed forces ready, violently breaking in if necessary. These guys are naive, really think I wouldn't dare to eliminate their family directly?"

"But if you do that..."

"Do as I say!"

The subordinate left, Zhang Fang returned to his seat, spinning the pen in his hand silently.

"Actually, you could let things develop." A man's voice came from behind him, he emerged from Zhang Fang's Dueling Device, "When the Secret Peeping Man descends on Coastal City and truly sees the invasion of extraordinary power, they'll fully embrace your proposal, granting you supreme power."

Zhang Fang was silent for a long time, then slowly said:

"I seek power to protect them, not to protect them in order to gain power. I could go to any lengths to gain the power to counter the extraordinary, but if innocent civilians are the ones sacrificed, I can't do that."

"If the extraordinary doesn't bring massive casualties and destruction, doesn't truly strike them, they won't understand." The man retorted, it's unclear who he was mocking.

Zhang Fang shook his head firmly: "But it cannot be here."
