Chapter 328: Haha! Let Me See What Your Cards Do!
After Shen Sui's series of operations, he still had extra cards in his hand.
The hand limit in a Life Card Duel is five cards, so when Shen Sui ended his turn, he discarded the surplus cards to the graveyard.
However, it didn't matter. Even though some of the discarded cards were somewhat wasted, Shen Sui was very pleased.
This time, he managed to summon three Soul Cards.
If he had included Martina's Soul Card in his deck, he might have unprecedentedly summoned four Soul Cards at once.
At the same time, he also set up what was currently the most restraining first-strike field.
The effect of Dragon Conqueror Qishala is that when the opponent activates a card effect targeting oneself or one's cards on the field, it can negate the card's effect, then reveal the top card of the deck to judge. If it's a Follower Card, the current chain is immediately stopped, and the opponent can't negate Qishala's effect. If it's not a Follower Card, Qishala's Spirit Value decreases by 3000. When Qishala's Spirit Value drops to 0, she is destroyed.
This effect doesn't have a once-per-turn limit, so as long as luck is on his side or the Spirit Value is sufficient, Shen Sui can prevent the opponent from breaking his field through effects for several turns.
The ability 'Kang' of Dragon Conqueror can nullify player effects, but not release costs, and in this world, only his Fish King has a Follower with a similar effect.
And the Realm-Breaking Elf King Freymia is there to limit the opponent's development.
As long as she is on the field, the opponent cannot Special Summon Followers with a lower star level than hers.
The onlookers were astonished to see the other two Soul Cards Shen Sui pulled out.
Although they were all fervent lovers of Life Card Duels, and some were even professional Life Card Masters, the concept of multiple Soul Cards in one deck had been unheard of.
In theory, it could work.
But what is theoretically feasible is a far cry from having someone actually include multiple Soul Cards!
However, those present hadn't witnessed Shen Sui's duels at the Duel Enthusiasts' Gathering or with Tan Song, and did not know the effects of Dragon Conqueror and Realm-Breaking Elf King, otherwise they might have started wondering how Kotov could win.
Kotov seemed unaware of the seriousness of the situation, looking at Shen Sui's field with no sign of panic, as he had already drawn his trump card with his first hand!
"My turn! Draw!"
Kotov drew a card from the deck.
Then he triumphantly pulled a card from his hand: "Your deck is powerful. Perhaps I could use you to complete that great arrival."
"I just wonder," he laughed, "if you will survive to witness the moment my master arrives!"
Indeed, he had drawn Peeping Moon as his first card.
The great Secret Peeping Man might soon descend through his hands!
He could already envision his bright and glorious future.
"My main phase!"
Kotov shouted excitedly.
"Let me show you the despairing Red Moon!"
"Pay 15 Soul Points! Activate the Permanent Spell Card Peeping Moon from my hand!"
"The Red Moon reigning over all living things!"
"Shall witness all the secrets of this world!"
Shen Sui squinted his eyes.
He wasn't surprised at the timing of the opponent's key card but realized there was no chance to chain it.
"Hahaha! I know you have traps, but it's useless!" Kotov evidently grasped the Secret Peeping Man's power and gained immediate linguistic ability. "Using Soul Points and the effect of Peeping Moon cannot be chained by other cards!"
"Moreover, Peeping Moon is unaffected by other card effects!"
Kotov boasted: "This is an invincible permanent Spell Card!"
With the activation of Peeping Moon, a mysterious Red Moon slowly rose behind Kotov.
He opened his arms as if welcoming the arrival of the Gods as a devout believer.
"Is it coming? Is the big one coming?" The surrounding audience began to anticipate.
This was Kotov, the former U.S. champion, former world semi-finalist, the legendary Life Card Master who created miracle performances in America! Across the ocean, he was a model for rising from the slums through Life Card Duels!
One can't help but wonder what kind of duel such an opponent would bring?!
"Activate the effect of Peeping Moon."
Kotov's eyes were filled with confidence.
Having roamed the Life Card Duel arena for so long, he was immensely proud to use this card.
In his belief, once he played this card first, it basically meant invincibility!
"Once per turn, I can view all Set Cards on the opponent's field and all cards in their hand, and see all their effects. Then, I gain Red Moon Marks equal to the number of Spell Cards on the opponent's field and in hand. After that, the opponent refills their hand to five cards."
Kotov pointed at Shen Sui.
Since Shen Sui had five cards in his hand, he couldn't draw more cards due to this effect.
But this didn't make Kotov happy; instead, he felt a bit of a pity.
Because according to Peeping Moon's effect, if the opponent's card draw from this effect is two or more, then until the end of that turn, the opponent cannot activate card effects from their hand, essentially sealing their hand traps.
"The Peeping One is watching you!"
Kotov chanted, raising his hand and using the Red Moon's power to reveal all of Shen Sui's Set and hand cards.
"Good! Let me see what cards you have!"
Checking all the Set and hand cards of the opponent was secondary.
The most powerful part of Peeping Moon is its Red Moon Marks.
By removing a Red Moon Mark, the cost of his next card becomes 0.
When the number of Red Moon Marks removed by this effect is 10 or more, it must activate, sending Peeping Moon to the graveyard to Special Summon Sleeping Secret Peeping Man from the deck, graveyard, or hand.
From now on, you're dueling with an open hand against me! I wonder how you'll manage this!
Kotov smugly glanced at Shen Sui's Set cards.
Sitting on the Ground and Raising the Price, hmm, a pretty good extra cost trap.
Opinion Inquiry, a Spell Card that negates effects.
Infiltration Disguise, allows Soul Cards in the field to undergo Form Transformation.
In the Name of God, copies card effects.
Barbecue Technique, blocks one instance of damage.
A bit annoying.
Kotov looked at Sitting on the Ground and Raising the Price as well as Opinion Inquiry, glanced at his hand, and pondered how to overcome these two cards.
Then he looked again at Shen Sui's hand.
He gazed at the effect of Sinful Saintess Anna in Shen Sui's hand and remained silent for a long time.
It's okay, still can play!
Kotov took a deep breath and looked at the front field of Shen Sui.
He glanced at Shen Sui's four Follower Cards' effects.
Kotov fell silent.
What kind of field did you set up here?!!!
This damn thing, is it even allowing people to duel?!
