My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

"Damn." Tan Song looked incredulously at his cleared Life Value, and glanced up at the overjoyed Bai Ye opposite him.

In that duel just now, Tan Song even felt that Bai Ye had brought the spirit and attitude of a professional tournament to the match, dueling with a very serious and high-profile stance throughout.

Tan Song approached the duel with an entertainment mindset, never expecting Bai Ye to be so serious, especially in the third decisive round's last turn. The way Bai Ye drew cards, it seemed like he would die if he didn't draw the right one.

Bai Ye won, but it wasn't that Tan Song wasn't serious—he still showed his level of skill. It's just that in this kind of match, he wouldn't calculate possibilities too far off.

If in a normal professional match, Tan Song might calculate his opponent's possible responses five or six Life Cards ahead, then in the All-Star competition, he would only rely on instinct from previous matches to calculate two or three Life Cards ahead at most.

"All-Star competition, so serious?" Watching Bai Ye almost jump for joy, Tan Song found it hard to comprehend.

Bai Ye's cheeks were flushed: "You don't understand, you don't understand!"

Having defeated Tan Song and reaching the finals of the Infinite Brawl, this meant she would face Shen Sui in the upcoming duel, who had already secured a spot in the finals.

Qishala!

She finally had the chance to face Qishala head-on in a duel!

Powerful! Invincible! Crushing!

If she couldn't control such a powerful Giant Dragon in battle, then being pierced by such a powerful dragon was a kind of alternative satisfaction.

"Is your master sick?" Shen Sui asked through the screen, watching Bai Ye on stage, her reddened cheeks not seeming very normal.

Cheryl, who was looking up at the screen beside him, showed an awkward expression.

She knew of Bai Ye's admiration for Qishala.

In fact, in the Soul Card World, Bai Ye had expressed her admiration and longing for powerful Giant Dragons and Dragon Princesses more than once. She had shown a love-struck look more than once when facing Delia.

"Normal." Cheryl simply said, avoiding commenting too much on her master in front of outsiders, "This kind of thing is very normal."

Shen Sui didn't say much more about it.

The schedule for the All-Star competition was indeed fast; starting from nine in the morning and finishing the first two rounds of the Infinite Brawl just in time for lunch.

This was almost impossible in normal professional matches.

Lunch was provided by the organizers as boxed meals. Though they were boxed meals, they were far from simple; at least Shen Sui was very satisfied with the taste.

After eating and drinking to his fill, Shen Sui took advantage of the short break to open the Dueling Device and reviewed his Life Card Slot.

Thanks to An Hai's reminder, Shen Sui realized he needed to speed up the creation of Alternate Art Cards for Follower Cards that might soon be on the Forbidden Card List.

So when Alice was in Elm City, Shen Sui suddenly messaged her to bring the Golden Ship and Hali along while passing through.

Alice, although puzzled by Shen Sui's suggestion, executed it very obediently.

Though Hali was not on the Exploration Bureau's forbidden card preliminary list, Shen Sui's concept for her future was enough to put her on the Forbidden Card List.

This adorable dog girl could search her deck for an Equipment Spell Card and equip it upon entry.

Shen Sui planned to use the Alternate Art Card method to modify Hali's effect, changing it from being able to activate only when entering to equipping four or five Equipment Spell Cards at once, similar to an armor fusion effect.

With many powerful Equipment Spell Cards like the Vivian series, Dawn Sacred Artifact series, Sacred Artifact series, and possibly upcoming Divine Artifacts of the God series that Shen Sui already had or might acquire, a deck centered on Equipment Spell Cards could easily form, with Hali being its core.

And Hali's Alternate Art Card was the easiest to create because Alice had already obtained a potion from Isabella that could evolve Hali.

Sure enough, when Alice arrived at Elm City, Hali was already going through the second stage of transformation.

The formerly cute loli dog girl had already taken on the appearance of a maiden.

However, her personality seemed to have changed little.

On the other hand, the Alternate Art Card process for the Golden Ship required some additional assistance. Fortunately, Vivian knew the formula for a potion that could morph horse-type Magical Beasts, and when Alice reached Roland City, she could buy the materials according to this formula and proceed with the crafting.

Alice didn't understand why Shen Sui was suddenly so keen on strengthening her mount and pets, but she was happy to take them along to Roland City.

Since impersonating Adoma to go to Roland City, Alice hadn't traveled with her old adventure companions for a long time.

Alice originally wanted to invite Anna to accompany her to Roland City, but Anna, now the overall head of the Twilight Legion and Pirates, couldn't find the time.

This made Alice a little disappointed, but soon she found a solution—she made a card of Anna's image.

When Alice encountered difficulties, she could summon Anna to fight alongside her through the Treasure Card.

"You're letting Alice go make Alternate Art Cards on her own like this?" Vivian quipped, seeing Shen Sui put down the Dueling Device with a smile.
