My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

14 stars.

5000 Spirit Value.

When he saw the value of the Wind Element Empress, the once arrogant Wang Hongjing immediately fell silent.

Because, damn it, the highest Spirit Value of all the followers in his entire deck is just 4000.

This meant that the possibility of defeating the Wind Element Empress through battle was extremely slim.

He was silent.

Truly silent.

Despite all his efforts, he couldn't find a single 13-star Element follower, yet Shen Sui casually pulled out a 14-star one. As a Life Card Master of the Elemental World, Wang Hongjing was on the verge of collapse inside.

However, Shen Sui's play was far from over.

He activated the effect of the Wind Element Empress, allowing him once per turn to return an Element follower card and an Element Spell Card from the graveyard to the deck, and then add a Life Card from his deck to his hand, with the usage cost of the card added this way waived.

"When I use this Life Card," Shen Sui announced the second part of the Wind Element Empress's effect, "I can draw Life Cards from the deck equal to the number of Element followers on the field."

"Once per turn, search for a Life Card with reduced costs and draw cards. This card is rather impressive," Theis commented, stroking his chin, "Not just this card; this kid's Life Cards all have some power."

The Life Card Shen Sui chose to add to his hand was: Rebellion.

Event Card Rebellion.

A card Shen Sui added to his deck specifically for this duel.

When pre-match intelligence is done well, one can always gain the upper hand during the duel.

Especially against formulaic players like Wang Hongjing, such targeted strategies become increasingly effective.

The effect of Rebellion is that until the end of the next opponent's turn, neither side can declare an attack, and at the end of each battle phase, all followers controlled by the turn's player will attack their owner directly.

At this moment, including the Wind Element Empress, there were a total of five Element followers on the field, so Shen Sui drew five cards from his deck.

With this wave of card replenishment, Shen Sui had resources in hand and activated the effect of the last card in his hand, the Cursed Puppet Natalie, which had been discarded to the graveyard due to Elemental Descent. He sent three Puppet followers to the graveyard to activate Elemental Descent again from the deck.

By discarding a card from his hand, he special summoned the Wood Element Empress Andori from the deck.

He activated Andori's effect, sending her to the graveyard, allowing Shen Sui to special summon an Element follower from his deck.

This time, Shen Sui wanted to summon the last yet-to-appear Elemental Empress: Rock Element Empress Rafra.

Shen Sui proceeded to release the Wind Element Empress. Since this follower was special summoned by Elemental Descent, it would be sent to the graveyard at the end of the turn anyway.

The most crucial part was, if he didn't release her, Shen Sui wouldn't dare to activate the Event Card Rebellion; otherwise, the rebellious Elemental Empresses would take him out before the opponent's turn even started.

Rebellion is one of the rare Event Cards that doesn't provide the Life Card Master with a first-move advantage. This is why Shen Sui removed it from the deck. It usually only has value when facing many opposing followers, as the rebelling followers attack the owner.

Likewise, Shen Sui also released the Golden Ship.

In such a special summon-restrictive environment, even if Shen Sui summoned Alice, she wouldn't have many chances to trigger effects.

After covering two Spell Cards with Soul Points, Shen Sui activated Rebellion at the end of the main phase.

The multi-colored snowflakes paused slightly the moment the Event Card was activated.

Wang Hongjing felt a bit uncomfortable.

The reason he employs such formulaic tactics, aside from the strength of the system, is the scarcity of Environment Cards and Event Cards.

These two types of cards are not widespread, which often means Wang Hongjing doesn't need to consider the possibility of Environment Cards being nullified or Event Cards bypassing restrictions.

"Cannot declare attacks... Direct attack to the owner at the end of the turn..."

Wang Hongjing looked at the effect of Rebellion and began to ponder its impact on himself.

Honestly, he couldn't comprehend Shen Sui's purpose in activating Rebellion.

I could just release my own followers, right? That way, wouldn't I just avoid the effects of this Event Card?

Just as Wang Hongjing couldn't understand, Shen Sui ended his turn.

At this point, Shen Sui's last follower on the field, Rock Element Empress Rafra, directly attacked Shen Sui.

5000 damage was about to land on Shen Sui.

"Activate the effect of Rock Element Empress Rafra." As the dust settled, Shen Sui stood unharmed in place, "When she deals battle damage, I can trigger this effect to avoid this damage. If the avoided damage is greater than 4000, until the start of my next turn, I cannot release followers on the field, and I can use card effects up to X times, where X is the number of followers I control."

This was his main objective!

Wang Hongjing understood Shen Sui's intent the moment he saw the effect of the Rock Element Empress.

Looking at the remaining four followers on his field, 3000+2000+1500+1500. If he didn't draw an Event Card to counter Rebellion, his followers would take him out at the end of his turn.

My deck doesn't even have Event Cards!
