My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

In the moment when he was pierced by starlight, Bai Ye's heart took flight.

The only slight regret was that when Qishala emptied her Life Value, she was in human form, lacking the oppressive power she had in her dragon form.

But the fantasy had been realized, so what was there to be dissatisfied about?

The second duel between Bai Ye and Shen Sui smoothly began.

However, as long as Bai Ye couldn't pull out the construction for a second deck, the outcome of the duel wouldn't change at all.

The [Dragon Maid·Head Maid Qishala] is basically a nemesis for all Dragon decks.

Once per turn, she can release all Dragon Maid Followers on both sides of the field to increase her Spirit Value. Combined with her effect of searching for [Qishala's Dragon Maid Training] when she transforms, it directly seals the front lines for any Dragon player. No Dragon Follower can withstand even a second in front of Qishala.

In the second round of the match, Bai Ye again got the first move.

But as a Dragon player, when facing Shen Sui's deck, she had no means to fight back. Even knowing Shen Sui's initial actions, she couldn't counter with any strategy.

When there is a [Dragon Maid] Follower on the field, Qishala is unaffected by the opponent's card effects. Bai Ye could only counter Shen Sui by taking out Qishala's pre-form.

Unfortunately, Shen Sui didn't give her this opportunity.

"Shen Sui seems to be separating his deck," An Hai observed Shen Sui on the stage, calmly analyzing.

Tan Song, standing next to An Hai, stroked his chin and said, "In the first and second rounds, he used the [Puppet] deck. In the third, against Bai Ye, a Life Card Master using a Dragon deck, he brought out the deck tailored to counter her Dragon Maids. The key is that many Followers in his two decks have been used in previous duels. Perhaps he's separated other series from his main deck to create independent decks as well."

If that's the case, it means trying to counter Shen Sui through pre-match analysis of his deck construction won't work, because what deck Shen Sui uses isn't confirmed until he reports it to the referee before the match, by which time your deck has already been submitted.

"It's terrifying," Tan Song couldn't help but admire. "How did he manage it? It's not even half a year since he became a Life Card Master."

Constructing multiple decks and using their counter-relationships to easily gain victory while avoiding opponents' intel analysis is indeed a formidable strategy.

But the number of Life Cards required for such a strategy is unimaginably daunting.

It's more than just having a full library of cards.

You'll also need a large amount of Follower Cards with a unified style and term, and a series of supporting Search Spell Cards, Equipment Spell Cards, and other Life Cards associated with those terms.

While some people might obtain many Life Cards in a short time through connections, clubs, or national libraries, picking out ones to form a complete deck is very difficult.

With billions of people in Huaxia, the number of ninth-rank Life Card Masters alone shows how hard this task is.

Constructing a systematized deck itself is difficult enough; forming multiple decks with considerable strength is a feat one can only dream of.

Unless personally witnessing Shen Sui bring out two entirely different, and seemingly perfected, decks in the All-Star competition, he wouldn't believe such a Life Card Master could exist.

Theoretically, such a Life Card Master might exist, but it would definitely be the result of a nation's full support, investing all resources in one person.

But Shen Sui, through personal effort, accomplished this operation.

An Hai quietly watched Shen Sui, victorious on the stage and being prompted for his impressions by the host.

After defeating Bai Ye, Shen Sui became the first champion of this year's All-Star competition, the champion of Infinite Battle.

Perhaps, my sister chose a very good partner.

If one doesn't consider this guy's complicated romantic history, having such a capable partner would certainly greatly help one's deck construction.

But can I... really catch up with Shen Sui?

Though An Hai's current rank is two levels higher than Shen Sui's, An Hai understands deeply that with his current skills, he cannot defeat Shen Sui.

A Life Card Master should recognize their own strength.

However, a Life Card Master should also believe in their deck.

The confusion in An Hai's eyes gradually dissipated.

Perhaps, I've been too complacent before, and it's time for me to venture into new endeavors.

An Hai plans to revisit a shelved plan from years ago to test the new mechanism in Life Card Duels.

Since Soul Cards can undergo Form Transformation, there's no reason other Followers can't transform into Alternate Art Cards through effect methods.

Rose Followers are naturally suited to test this effect.

Their flowers change with temperature, soil, weather, and other environmental factors. Different forms of flowers should naturally possess different effects.
