My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

"Then the second round." Shen Sui said with a smile, "Let me see your current style."

With that, Shen Sui revealed his dueling device.

Tang Lili's eyes immediately became serious: "Then get ready!"

Even with a huge rank difference, Tang Lili showed no signs of nervousness at all.

Although in this all-star match, Tang Lili probably wouldn't achieve any outstanding performance, her attitude of confidently dueling without showing fear, and never requesting her opponent to go easy on her due to her idol status, won her some favor with the audience who didn't know her before.

"I'll have the first turn."

This time, it was Shen Sui's turn to go first.

However, Shen Sui's deck is the Fish King Card Set, which is actually stronger when going second as it faces the opponent's setup.

Of course, having the first turn isn't unplayable either.

While thinking, Shen Sui drew several cards from his hand.

Due to the relatively small number of followers in the Fish King Card Set, Shen Sui added some other follower cards to it.

The classic Shining Debut start, summoning the ever-reliable Golden Ship.

The Golden Ship's effect of special summoning followers from the deck through Soul Card form transformation is excellent, perfect for any deck.

The Golden Ship effect brought out Alice, followed by Alice transforming into [Ritual Destroyer Alice].

You like placing all sorts of songs in your magic area, don't you?

[Ritual Destroyer Alice] can directly destroy all cards in the magic area, and although this effect can only be used once per turn, it can be activated during the opponent's turn.

Next, Shen Sui used the Golden Ship's effect to search for an 8-star [Black Sea Fish Beast - Human-faced Fish] from the deck.

Like [Black Sea Heart - Crystal Core Fish], these fish were caught by Alice from the ocean of World No. 8.

They seem like ordinary fish, and their real strength isn't very high, but each type of fish has special effects and can be quite tricky.

After summoning the Human-faced Fish, Shen Sui ended his turn.

Tang Lili started her turn.

She first summoned a 1-star blank idol follower to her field.

"Pay 8 soul points and activate the spell card [Idol Support]." Tang Lili drew from her hand and activated [Idol Support].

This card can only be activated when there is an [Idol] follower on your field, forcing the opponent to discard at least two cards or pay at least 1000 life value, and add X [Cheering Sticks] to their deck (X is the number of cards discarded or life value paid/500).

A classic deck pollution card.

And the price for the pollution falls on me.

This was a card Tang Lili hesitated to use because such a forced acceptance of [Idol Support] didn't align with her definition of an idol.

"Honestly," Shen Sui said while discarding two cards to the graveyard, "I prefer your style from the last duel."

Tang Lili smiled wryly, "I also prefer the playstyle from the last duel, but that style can't win. You saw that even when my attack soared to twelve thousand, it could still be easily countered."

Ultimately, it's because the [Idol] followers, as ordinary people, are too weak.

"By the way," Shen Sui said with a smile, "doesn't another Soul Card World have a space opera? Maybe there are singing idols there too, you could try adding those idol followers to your deck."

Tang Lili replied, "I've thought about it, fans have even sent me similar cards, but I actually enjoy growing with my partners more."

Growing together?

The path of Alice's growth flashed through Shen Sui's mind.

Although full of unexpected events, the results were always delightful.

While talking, two [Cheering Sticks] were added to Shen Sui's deck.

In comparison with other deck pollution cards, [Cheering Stick] is already a very gentle card, probably because it comes from fans' love for idols.

Once this card enters the hand, it must be equipped to a follower on the field.

The effect is merely that it cannot attack [Idol] followers, and its effects are ineffective against [Idol] followers.

In the current dueling environment, this kind of pollution is hardly considered pollution and merely interrupts the opponent's draw.

After all, in Life Card Duels, followers can be freely released; I can equip them and then release, then use card effects to special summon them, bypassing this directly, right?

Of course, this tactic fundamentally doesn't rely on [Cheering Stick] to annoy the opponent but mainly on life point burn.

Next, Tang Lili used her remaining soul points to activate a spell card from her hand.

Using the spell card's effect, she searched and special summoned Sawaragi Kei (Chestnut Candy) from the deck and then activated Sawaragi Kei's effect to activate a permanent spell card from the deck.

But this time, Tang Lili didn't activate a [Song] type of permanent spell card; instead, it was [Idol Support Club].

******

Effect: ① Once per turn, at the end of your main phase, if you have an [Idol] follower on your field and you haven't used [Idol Support] in this phase, you can discard a card to activate it, treating it as if you used [Idol Support];
