Chapter 685 459: This Is Supposed to Be an Idol? (Ten-Thousand-Word Mega Chapter)
When Shen Sui saw Tang Lili in her performance outfit, he couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.
He vaguely remembered the scene when Tang Lili hid outside the door, heartbroken, after failing to advance to a Level One Life Card Master.
He never expected that in less than half a year, Tang Lili would be standing on the same stage as him.
Although the stage of the All-Star Tournament was quite special, no matter how special, it was still a dueling stage for fair competition.
Moreover, Tang Lili had reached this stage with the popularity she accumulated on her own.
In a sense, Tang Lili was like a protagonist in a thrilling story; at least in the Life Card Duel audience circle, she was considered a top idol.
"I've finally waited for this day." Tang Lili's eyes were filled with excitement, as if she saw a cat fighting for a mate, full of battle intent, "I can finally duel with you."
Shen Sui grinned: "I'm looking forward to it too. I wonder what kind of performance you'll bring as a Life Card Master."
"It will definitely be a spectacular stage."
Tang Lili revealed her Dueling Device.
"Let's duel!"
With the opening of the Duel Realm, Shen Sui's second Forbidden Card Tournament officially began.
However, in a sense, this duel didn't really count as a Forbidden Card Tournament.
Because Tang Lili didn't have any Forbidden Cards, and Shen Sui hadn't included the [Star Magic Array] in his deck.
For both of them, this was a fair match.
"My turn!"
This time, Tang Lili managed to go first.
Without a moment's hesitation, she drew five cards from her deck.
"Pay 1 Soul Point to normally summon from my hand." Tang Lili drew a Follower Card from her hand, "[Underground Idol Aiko]."
The Idol Card Set, or rather decks from the ordinary Soul Card World, couldn't become mainstream in Life Card Duels, not even close to high-level Life Card Masters, mainly because in these Soul Card Worlds, Follower Cards barely had any special abilities, mostly blank, and still one-star blank cards.
Of course, it's not that Soul Card Worlds without Extraordinary Power can't produce high-star Spell Cards and Follower Cards. When your reputation, status, and wealth reach a certain level, the star level in your Dueling Device evaluation will be appropriately increased.
Thus, in ordinary Soul Card Worlds without Extraordinary Power, people generally follow the Villain Gang Stream or the Business Wealth Stream, trying to enhance their deck levels as much as possible under relatively safe circumstances.
However, those truly passionate about and pursuing duels probably wouldn't choose these Soul Card Worlds.
Tang Lili's Idol Card Set was in a similar situation. Before her Soul Card and its team officially debuted, it basically could only rely on street performances to accumulate fame. Although it gained some reputation, to the Dueling Device, it was trivial.
Even now, after debuting, the highest star-level follower in Tang Lili's hand was her Soul Card Follower, Sawaragi Kei. She recently gained admission to the Saint Soaring Music Academy, bringing a new form to Tang Lili, a four-star state.
At present, Tang Lili could hardly gather any effective followers. Besides Sawaragi Kei and the four girls in her group, all of Tang Lili's idol followers were without exception blank cards.
[Underground Idol Aiko] was the standard one-star blank among them.
Even with a Spirit Value of only 100.
Therefore, Shen Sui had a hard time imagining how Tang Lili could achieve results in the professional arena; her deck barely had any decent followers.
"With an [Idol] follower on my field." Tang Lili quickly said, "I activate the effect of [Nameless Idol: Chestnut Candy] from my hand. When there is an [Idol] follower on the field, I can special summon this follower from my hand."
Chestnut Candy was Sawaragi Kei's stage name.
This was a tradition among underground idols in that Soul Card World.
And the reason Sawaragi Kei chose this name as her stage name was purely because she adapted Tang Lili's name.
"Then, I pay 2 Soul Points." Tang Lili initiated Sawaragi Kei's form.
Compared to Alice's nearly forty forms, Tang Lili's Soul Card had far fewer forms, only a mere four.
However, Tang Lili had no feelings of inferiority. She confidently and openly displayed her Soul Card to everyone.
"Transform [Nameless Idol: Chestnut Candy] into [Original Dream: Chestnut Candy]."
As the light of form transformation faded, a black-haired girl in a black Lolita outfit appeared before everyone.
"Hello, everyone! I'm Chestnut Candy~!" The girl playfully winked at the crowd.
"Activate [Original Dream: Chestnut Candy]'s effect." Tang Lili opened her deck, "When she appears through form transformation, select a Permanent Spell Card from my deck and activate it."
"I choose to activate from my deck, Permanent Spell Card..." She spread out her deck, confidently selecting a Life Card, placing it without hesitation in her Magic Area, "[Springtime Romance]!"
At the moment this Permanent Spell Card was activated, Aiko and Chestnut Candy, standing in the front field, closed their eyes, and the gentle and soothing song started to flow from her lips. Accompanied by the springtime effect brought by [Springtime Romance], Tang Lili's field instantly transformed into a stage for the idols.
