My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

This move from Shen Sui caused a brief confusion for An Yang, but he quickly adjusted his mindset.

He summoned the Blue Feathered Pigeon primarily for the Form Transformation; triggering its effect was just a bonus to see how luck would play out today. Since it was negated, there was no loss.

An Yang immediately drew another Follower Card from his hand: "By paying 1 Soul Point, I normally summon from my hand, [Phoenix-Riding Beast: Little Sparrow]."

Wait, is there a timing point?

An Yang sensed a brief lag, indicating the loading of the timing point.

Is there a hand trap?

"When a Follower Card is successfully summoned on the opponent's field, I can activate the effect of the Follower Card [Spiritual Life: Destiny Ring Snake] from my hand."

Shen Sui revealed a card from his hand.

"I can banish a Follower Card from the graveyard and stack two 5-star or above Follower Cards from the deck, then special summon it to the field from my hand!"

Shen Sui opened his deck: "Banish the Lava Fairy from the graveyard; I stack [Malicious Puppet Natasha] and [Substitute Puppet Jamie]! Special summon from my hand! [Spiritual Life: Destiny Ring Snake]!"

A black-and-white spiraling giant snake appeared on Shen Sui's field following his summoning.

Its body twisted into an infinity symbol, seemingly symbolizing endless destiny.

As the Destiny Ring Snake revolved, the Duel Realm began to slowly distort.

An Yang was momentarily stunned, intuitively sensing something was off, but at this juncture, there was no turning back.

"Activate the effect of my on-field Soul Card form," An Yang gritted his teeth and said, "Send a 1-star [Phoenix-Riding Beast] follower from the field to the graveyard to activate! Switch the form of Blue Feathered Pigeon to [Phoenix-Riding Beast: Night Blue Feathered Pigeon]!"

An Yang quickly entered his rhythm.

"Activate the effect of Night Blue Feathered Pigeon, once per turn, special summon a 4-star or lower [Phoenix-Riding Beast] follower from my deck."

An Yang expanded his deck: "I choose to special summon [Phoenix-Riding Beast: Cyan Flying Goose] from my deck."

A brief timing pause.

Another timing point!

An Yang was startled.

"When you successfully special summon a follower, activate the effect of my on-field Destiny Ring Snake." Shen Sui raised his hand and said, "When you successfully special summon a follower, you must activate, remove a stacked material, then reveal the top three cards of my deck, and special summon the topmost summonable follower to the field."

Shen Sui sent the Malicious Puppet to the graveyard, revealing the top three cards of his deck.

The top follower was: [Daylight Knight Oshana].

"Destiny allows me to summon!" Shen Sui shouted, "Special summon [Daylight Knight Oshana] to the field."

"Followers special summoned by this effect will be sent to the graveyard at the end of this turn."

An Yang, who initially thought this card was a bit outrageous, felt slightly more at ease upon hearing this sentence.

Luckily, with this, the card isn't too outrageous.

An Yang returned to his track.

His goal was very clear, to create a field on the first turn that Shen Sui couldn't resolve.

Even Shen Sui's Fish King couldn't resolve it.

An Yang's efforts in these days had not been in vain; he successfully gave his Lan a brand-new form.

******

Card Name: [Phoenix-Riding Beast: Immortal Robe Blue Feathers]

Type: Follower Card

Star Rating: 10-star

Effect: As long as this follower is on the field, neither side can special summon followers.

① Once per your turn, when you release a follower, you can activate, allowing your next normal summon to be free of cost;

② When a [Phoenix-Riding Beast] on your side of the field is destroyed by an opponent's effect, you can activate this, drawing two cards from the deck.

Spirit Value: 3000

******

Although this form isn't a perfect terminal form, it can effectively prevent Shen Sui from using special summoning methods to resolve his grand finale.

"Activate the effect of my Cyan Flying Goose, discard a card from hand to activate, reveal all my hand cards, and draw from the deck the same number of [Phoenix-Riding Beast] follower cards."

"I have two Follower Cards in my hand." An Yang's starting hand was five Follower Cards, "So I draw two cards from the deck."

Next, An Yang activated the effect of [Phoenix-Riding Beast: Undying Vulture] which he just discarded to the graveyard, sending Cyan Flying Goose to the graveyard and special summoning the Undying Vulture from the graveyard to the field.

"Activate the effect of Destiny Ring Snake." Shen Sui immediately said, sending the stacked material Substitute Puppet to the graveyard, and revealing the top three cards of the deck.

This time, he special summoned [Magic Apprentice Alice].

An Yang was momentarily taken aback when he saw Shen Sui unexpectedly draw an Alice.

He was all too familiar with the effect of [Magic Apprentice Alice].

As long as he summoned a follower, she could blast herself and the opponent together.

If the crucial card is blown away, An Yang's development would be interrupted.

So An Yang immediately changed his plan, deciding to deal with Alice first.

He had no choice but to use the Spell Card he just drew to eliminate Alice. Originally, it was meant to counter Shen Sui's crucial follower: "Pay 7 Soul Points, activate Spell Card [Birdcage] from my hand, sending one of your follower cards on the field to the graveyard."

Watching from the audience, An Hai's expression became even colder as he witnessed his brother's move.
